A Fire-NInrshaI.

In Philadelphia, they have an officer
called Fire Marshal, whose duty it is to
examine into the causes of the fires that oc-
cur, with view to the detection of incen-
diaries. During the past year, it is said that
fifteen convictions have taken place as the
result of these Investigations; and that the
crime of arson has nearly ceased. In this
city the perpetrators of ineeudiary crimes are
seldom if ever detected, or even looked
after, and the consequence is that they are
of frequent occurrence. A FIRE which de-
stroys many thousand dollars worth,of valu-
able property, and reduces several citizens
to poverty is supposed to be the work ofan
incendiary," and that is the end oft.
While it is always hazardous to suggest
the creation of new officer, it perhaps
would not be bad plan to select some expe-
rienced detective here, to make a trial and
see if something can not be done to bring the
incendiaries to punishment. 1t is true, that
they do catch and convict burglars in Phila-
delphia, which they do not in Cincinnati;
and the fire detective might be doomed to
share the ill-luek of his catchpole brother it
would therefore not be advisable to make the
Office permanent, until the plan has been
brought to the test of experiment.

Mr.. Hutcheson, of Madison, embraced the
earliest opportunity to introduce into the
Legislature formidable Whereas" on the
state of the Union, which, like the scratch
ing of domestic fowl for subsistence, goes
over much surface for very inconsiderate
trifes, among whichi is the following declara-
tion of the peculiar felicitous feature of our
institutions:
"AND WHEREAS: 1t is the peculiar felicity
of our political system, in crisis like the
present, when the difficulty can neither be
compromised nor avoided, to have provided
q remedy in a Convention of all the States
acting in their original, paramount and SOW.
ereign capacity. The people, therefore, mus
come to the rescue and save the country i
it can now be saved at all, from the impend
ing ruin"
It will be seen that there are two peculiar
felicities in our glorious institutions. On,
is that they throw the country into a crisi
every now and then. Probably in the futur,
this will be every four years, or oftener. Tht
other peculiar felicity is, that whenever {
crisis occurs, we must throw up and have &
new shuttle and cut in our institutions.
What felicitous working of our "free in
stitutions p In fact free is too stringent a
term to describe their qualities. They work
with a perfect looseness.

foreign currency. Take away that interest,
and Il would be half abolished. Wherever
currency is brought to a cash basis, cash
win always flow. Where paper money most
abounds, cash will always vanish. The peo-
pie Of Ohio can have just such money as they
demand for their products.
No place can ever be a financial center
where currency is not reduced to cash
basis. And without that there is no use in
expecting TO have a great commercial me-
tropolis. When clearinghouse is estab-
lished by Cincinnati merchants, which will
require all currency to be redeemed here, at
a suitable rate, or will send 1t home for re-
demption, then notes will be made payable
here, deposits will be made here to draw
against, produce will be shipped here to
meet bills, exchange will be lower here than
in any Western place, and all the financial
veins of the middle Western States will tend
to this center. That time will come, and we
hope the Governor will not attempt to con-
fer any of the blessings of his banks of issue
on this city, for they would only put it off
NoTE.-The charter Of the State Bank,
which consists of thirty-six branches, will
expire in May, 1866. The Constitution pro-
vides that any act chartering banks shall be
submitted to the people for approval. Since
the charter of the present banks, an act for
chartering additional banks was passed by
the Republican and Know nothing Legisla-
ture Of 1866, and failed to be approved by
the people.

The Argument Of the President Of the
Board OfPublic Works IN Favor Of n Sale
ofthe Canals.
Z When public officer makes an official re-
port or recommendation, he Is entitled TO
have it interpreted by the rules of common
sense. II is too much to require that, for the
limited salaries which our State pays its of
fcers, they shall discharge their duties and
furnish others with understanding. Werefer
to the argument of the President of the Board
Of Public Works in favor of sale Of the
canals. He argues, first that in State man
agement they do not successfully compete
with railroads in carrying freight Does
any body dispute it7 Look at the declining
revenues oSthe canals.
He argues, second, that while the State
manages these canals, she is compelled to
compete with the enterprises Of her own cit
liens, with all the energy she can bring to
bear, and that she is now taxing them to help
pay the cost of carrying on a competition
against their capital.
He argues, third, that such Government
competition to crush out the enterprises of
its own citizens is wrong in principle.
Now, nobody will deny the truth of each
of these propositions. Can any sensible per-
son discover any inconsistency in them2
Yet the Gazette imagines that they fatty
contradict each other. So did the Toledo
Blade which elaborated on the contradiction.
in the spirit which this proposition will
meet from all of those who are directly in-
terested in the political emoluments of the
canal Offices.
We doubt if our neighbor, the Gazette, has
really discovered any inconsistency in them,
for it is not troubled with the spirit we have
referred to. 1t probably took the attack on
this report for evidence, without examining
the document ITSELF 1t would puzzle its
logic to say how simple propositions, which
are undeniably true, can be contradictory or
inconsistent. They are so only to those
whose minds can hold but one idea at time,
and who mistake the muddle which the at
tempt to comprehend two ideas, makes in
their brains, for contradiction.
The President, Mr.. Backus, proposes that
the State shall get rid of this entangling
alliance, this hopeless competition, and this
taxing of its own citizens to carry on an in
effectual and mutually damaging competi-
ton with them, by putting the canals into
private hands, and letting private competi-
ton on both sides work out its own saliva
ton. Even this, we believe, is regarded as
inconsistent by the Toledo Blade. But we
suppose the actual inconsistency is with
what it regards as its own personal or po-
litical interest. That is entitled to due con-
sideration. But by taking these propositions
one at time, every man according to his
several capacity, they will be found candid
and consistent, and forming, together, an
argument that ii wCald be difficult to over
! throw.
That is recognized from the start by the
hue and cry which the political musk rats,
who have built their nests in the canals,
have begun to raise over this recommends
ton, which, if successful, will oust them
from their holes,

In Kentucky these seem to be queer Union
saving institutions. They do not indorse
the action of South Carolina but they deny
the power of coercing her to obey the laws;
and they demand an ultimatum from the
North. This was the substance of the Louis
vile Union Meeting, which has been so ex-
teDsively heralded. Another Union Meet
ing in Kentucky laid down a concession to be
required from the North, and declared they
would task nothing more and take nothing
less"
Does Kentucky wish TO establish the right
of any fractions member Of the Union, at its
pleasure, to disturb its peace, and inflict
such injuries and evils upon the country as
it is now suffering, merely for any conces-
sions that Kentucky desires for slavery?
Can she afford to establish the right of any
State, at its pleasure, to infiet such injuries
on her prosperity as she is now suffering, for
any political advantage whatever to slavery?
We do not believe she can. She can not
mention any advantages to slavery that, if
che had them, would compensate her for
what she has already suffered from this Sc
cession. Yet she is establishing Secession as
a constitutional right in this Government,
by recognizing it now as an element by
which concessions are to be forced from the
North, and by protecting and encouraging it,
in declaring that it may rage at its pleasure,
the Government shall not interfere and by
depriving the Government of the power of
enforcing the laws.
Kentucky might just as well join her arms
openly 70 Secession, as to place herself in q
defensive alliance with it, for its prospective
benefits. Whatever Kentucky wants for
slavery, in any thing which she herself will
say is reason, she can probably have by the
regular and legitimate means. There is a
legal and constitutional way Of obtaining
these things. But certainly there is ques-
tion now before the people of vastly more
moment than any negro question. 1t is
whether we have a Government or anarchy
whether the country shall be governed by
laws and q Constitution, or by anarchy, pro,
nunciamentoes and menace. If Kentucky
can stand che latter, other States can. That
seems to be her attitude, so far as expressed
We fail 10 discover any thing in the Louis

s2N HEApAcHE is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state of the brain, and viewed
in this light it may be looked on as Q safeguard
intended to give notice of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be
remedied and its Indications should never be
neglected. Headaches may be classified under
two names. viz: Symptomatic and 1diopathic.
Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common
and is the precursor Of. great variety Of
diseases, among which are ApopleKy, dout
Rheumatism and all febrile diseases. In its
nervous form it is sympathetic of disease Of the
stomach constituting sick headache, of hepatic
disease constituting bilious heudache of worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels,
as well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases
of the heart are very frequently attended with
Headaches !; Anamia and plethora are also af-
fections which frequently occasion headache.
Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being
usually distinguished BY the name of nerpyus
headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a
state Of apparently sound health and..prostra-
ting at once the mental and physical energies,
and in other instances it comes on slowly,
hearalded by depression of spirits or acerbity
of temper. In most instances the pain is in the
front Of the head, over one or both eyes, and
sometimes provoking vomiting; under this
class may also be named Neuralgia.
Fer the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephaiic Pills have been found a sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradi-
eating the diseases of which Headache is the
Rnerring index.
