Fires IN Nav ORLEANS ;-mag moi the an
hor'tteS interfere wih success in preventing
fhe'r frequency 1t is our opinion they may
and we PROFOUND the question with the view
ei bringing the matter to the attention of the
City Press, and the municipal authorities
Hundreds of thousands are lost every year in
New Orleans CT is the same in all large cities
Of the unton,) by fires, the origin OF which is
never known or officially sought for. Acct.
dent or design may be sometimes, but care
l~essness is more frequently the cause Of these
disasters and were a law passed, making
such careIessness or neglect a criminal offence
arson in the second degree-we should hear
much less of fires, and property would be vast
Iy more safe in New Orleans, than now. TITS
true, the great quantity Of combustible mate
rial incorporated in all the buildings in tn s
country, render them an easy prey to the
flames, once lighted up. Bu,, if it be neces-
sary, from the general division of wealth in
the United States, for men to build in this I'M
substantial manner, j, is for this very reason
the more urgent that every prccaution should
be adopted to preserve property from destruc-
ton,
A fire law could not fail to operate lenef-
c'alIy in this respect. make every proprietor
or tenant answerable for the fire occurring on
their premises, and, unless they can show that
due caution hes been observed by them, and
that the fire originated from causes beyond
their ~controi, transport them before the
criminal court. l. will be soon sen that
more caution will be ooscrved-less combus-
tible matter will be found in ga,rets and va
cant rooms, in courts and kitchens, and even
that that which may he found in such places,
will be less frequently exposed to fire. A vi
g'iant neighbor viii then sec, too, that those
adjoining exercise due prudence, nor exrosc
at once to ruin his fortune and reputation.
Every citizen will hecome a sentinel over his
ne'ghbor, preventing injuries from him, or to
him.
This is the natural operation Ola well d.
gested fire law, as found in many Of The sta
tute books OF Europe. During a residence of
over two years in one of the principal cities of
the Continent, We recol!ect but three fires.
In each instance, owing to the material, only
one house was injured, and in the third and
last case, the proprietor was arraigned as a
criminal before court, and condemned to eigh-
teen months Imprisonment far srferinr bic
own dwelling to burn. The poor devil vas a
German Jew, who had amasscd by personal
the wherewithal to purchase the
building; and if he wept his eyes sere at be-
ing turned out of doors BY the fire, it NAV be
we'll supposed he wept item blind on being
into prison by the court.

Pms poLicE JrRy.-As no member Of this
honorable body has YET deigned 10 inform us
That that anything has been appropriated, or
that It is the intention to appropriate anything
to the purpose Of education IN tbs parish, aud
as their printed reports make no mention OF
the subiec.;, We presume East Baton Rouge is
to enjey none Of the advantages proposed by
the law Of the last Legislature for public in
structien. Although the fact appears settaed
and certain, wo can hardly give it credit It
seems SO passing strange, SO unnatural, that
an intelligent body Of men-republicans- cit
liens Of country the pcrmanence Of whose
institutions, all acknowledge, depends on the
education of the people, should rot only neg
lect to provide means for the instruction Of
the poor, but even reject those offered by the
state, that we are even yet prone to believe
there is some error in the matter. -Four hun
dred dollars appropriated by the parish weuld
draw $500 from the state-a sum sufficient
TO give fifty children a common school educa-
ton during twelve months. And for such an
end, where is the citizen who would not cheer
fully pay his quota of the Police Jury taxi
where is the friend TO his country, WI O would
not feel the tax too small Aspirants to Of
flee, not unfrequen,ly spend fully $500 to ar
rive al the post Of their Misunderstanding ont
