NECESSARY CHANGEs.-When sanity becom'
general in this country a world Of Imperial
reforms will be effected. One batch was su
eested by correspondent Of ours the 9th
day, which We beg 10 endorse. 1t was to Il
effect that the seats Of our State government
should be got out Of the hermitages where the
now are, and brought to light, in places whe
the Legislatures would see and feel public 90
timent. For instance the capital of this Sta
should be New York; of Pennsylvania, Phil
delphia; of Mary land, Baltimore; Of Ohio, Cl
cinnaii; and so on. Of course, it won
follow that New York would be the FEEDER
capital This is great and really an inSvi'
bic reform But reason is not common eaou
yet to propose it.

TERMINATION OF THE ERIE RAILROAD DR.
rIcrLTIEs-The managers of the Erie Railroad
have ut last come to their senses and agreed to
discharge none Of their engineers for accidents
beyond their control. A direct loss of some
one hundred thousand dollars, and prospect
of much greater one are, we presume the
causes to which this return of sense and burst
of honesty are due. Had the railroad engi-
neers in this country evinced less esprit de
corps the Erie people would have won a
victory at the expense Of some poor fellows
character, who might have been discharged at
any time for mishap which it was not in his
power to avert. As it is, the directors of this
mammoth concern have been taught that rich
and powerful as they are, they cannot yet
trample under foot the rights Of their en-
ploy e., or erect themselves into q sort of
Rhadamanthine court of justice from which
there can be no appeal. The lesson will be
serviceable not only to the company directly
concerned but to oil other companies in the
North Sound rules, and thorough superin-
tendence will secure safety for passengers
without sacrificing the rights Of engineers
and attempts to provide before hand that whe

INcENDIARIsM.-The progress of the examine
ton to which the recent fire at Jennings has
given rise throws a good deal Of light On The
origin Of fires in this city. The witness White
alias Boucher seems to be q very shrewd fell
low, and he and his friends appear to be quite
familiar with the mode of proceeding in such
cases. Seated, as he tells us, on the steps of
the Hall Of Records, he saw the fire OF Jen-
nings break out, and Immediately his compa-
MON Lowery observed "I'll bet my life Lyman
Barr set that place on fre;' and if the re-
mainder Of the evidence is to be believed the
guess was o pretty shrewd one. When the
engine came, White 'caught hold of the rope
and went to the fire." doubtless with the intcn-
ton of saving property. The next day, one
Snyder met the witness and told him the whole
story with frankness which does more credit
to his heart than his head. None Of the
friends, whose names White gives, seem to
have been in any way shocked or astonished
at the incendiary deed. White speaks of it
quite as matter of course.
A few such examinations would clear up the
doubt which now overhangs fires in clothing
stores They would likewise afford pretty
conclusive corroboration Of the statements we
made some time since with respect to the sys-
tenn Of allowing runners to join fire engines,
and hight illustrate the working of the present
fire department in very striking way.

Oun DISTRICT ATToRNEY-WHo Is THE MAN?
The spoils are still at a premium. They
seem to rise in value as the term of the adj
ministraton glides away. Among the candi-
dates mentioned for the District Attorncyship,
left vacant by the resignation Of Mr.. O'Conor,
are Mr.. Westbrook, Mr.. Shepard, Mr..
McKeon, Mr.. West, and Mr. Busted. The
present assistant District Attorney, Mr.. Dun
ming, is also said to be hopeful ,sprant for
the post. We hear of no movement in this
connection in behalf Of John Van Buren,, or
we should suppose his chances something bet
ter than the best Of them Mr.. Westbrook 1t
is said, has some claims for the place, in consid-
Grafton Of his selfsacri6cing vote for the Ne
brafka bill. But this we cannot believe. We
take it that Mr.. Westbrook gladly sacrificed
himself for the constitutional principles of the

Remarks Of Mr.. CrOsbit,

OF Clarke, on the resolution calling fer q
map Of the Territory with Indian names
affixed fR the different localities :
Mn. SPEAKER-I have an object in view
in calling for such map-an object which
/ am sure shall be sustained in my en-
deavOrs to effect.
The whole Territory is internally being
re-arranged by the organization Of the
eastern portion into counties, and the re-
duction Of counties, inconvcniently large, to
their proper proportions.
q The good taste that has thus far been
displayed l trust will be carried still far
ther, till every portion has its proper Indi-
an name affixed, wherever they are appro-
pirate and significant.
II is from no imaginary reasons that l
would urge this matter, but from the plain,
practical and beneficial results that will ac-
true. Whatever may be the sentiments Of
public regard or private esteem justly en-
tertained towards the living, or the memo
Ey-Of the dead, still all considerations Of
this sort, however colnmendabIe, are far
out balanced by the attending disadvanta-
