In another column We publish card from
Mr.. RICHARD BUSTED in relation TO an allu-
sion TO him in one of the Rebel letters which
we published on Saturday. The writer simply
said that he would deliver a message to MIR.
Busted, and this triHing incident ia seized
upon by his enemies to call in question Mr..
Rusteeds loyalty. An imputation so absurd
hardly needs an answer, for the sacrihce O
party and personal popularity among his old as
| sociates. made without moments hesitation
| by Mr.. Busted, and his answering Devotion
private and public, to the cause OF the Union
are too well known to be gainsayed or forgot
ten. A message, relating doubtless to lawsuit
In which he was engaged M counsel long before
the var broke out, cannot be twisted into suc-
cessful imputation upon loyalty so well tried
and universally acknowledged.

the Confederate leaders like the terms or not 4;

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has re-
yersed its decision on the constitutionality Of
the Enrolment Act, and now afirms what il has
heretofore denied. The change is due TO the
election of Judge Agnew in place Of Judge
Lewis, SO that the Court now stands three in
favor of and two against the validity OF the act.
The order issued by Chief Justice Woodward
late Democratic candidate for Governor-for a
preliminary injunction against the Provost Mar.
shall, is rescinded, and the judicial indrances TO
the execution Of the law are wholly removed.
Judges Strong and Reed, who were formerly the
dissenting minority, now form with Judge
Agnew the majority of the Court. The
previous opinion Of Chief Justice Woodward
was published during the campaign, and
WAS about the most bitterly partisan
assault on the Government which saw tho light
even in that heated contest. 1t went far to
deny the power Of the Government to coerce
the Seeded States into obedience, arrested the
enforcement of the conscription at critical
moment, and mora than mtynatsd to what

rights of colored men to assist in political en-

ters took the State out Of the Union in defiance
Of the known wishes of the people. We should

OFFICIAL SALARIES.

We print elsewhere the letter Of clerk in one
Of the Departments at Washington, urging that
the salaries Of his class should be raised, 20 az
to make them equivalent to gold. We object to
this, and trust it will not be done.
Our correspondent gives mp the case. when he
says that, were the clerks TO resign and 90 into
some other service they would do even worse
than now That's fact, and it is the reason
why they do not resign, and Why their salaries
should not be raised. If they are paid to-day as
much as they could earn elsewhere, that is all
they have a right to ask. If they can do better
elsewhere, they are at perfect liberty TO do so.
We repel altogether the notion of contract
between them end the Government beyond each
months service. AT the expiration Of that
month, any one who chooses mag resign, and
,ciH if be- can improve his condition by 30 doing.
Let all who can do better elsewheye resign; and,
if competent persons cannot be found 70 take
their places, We will consent to an increase Of
salaries. But not til then.
Whoever ats down deliberately to spend his
life and rear q family on the wages Of Depart
ment olerkshp is, prima Jdeis, an indolcnt, inef-
fcient fellow, who would be very unlikely to
make living anywhere. Young men may take
but each should get away from
Washington before any considerable family
grows up around him. Let each consider office
an accident, and private life the post OF honor
and the way To true independence.

Mr. REvgRDY Johnson is reported as saying
in the u. S. Senate, on Saturday, that " the
people of Maryland did not believe that the
colored troops could do the duty Of white men. -
He probably represents the opinions Of Mary

said in reference TO secession that "under
almost any conceivable circumstances, Mary
land Will acknowledge her rights as Southern
State, and will vote with the people of The

AN AWFUL CALAMITY.

II is fortunately not often that mankind is
called upon to mourn calamity N horrible as
that which occurred on the eighth Of December,
in Santiago the capital Of Chill, Il full account
of which will DO found in another column. A
church, crowded to OVERLOOKING caught fire;
the chief door, opening inside, was soon closed
by the press; all egress was consequently pre-
vented, and nearly two thousand people. mostly
women, and representing nearly every family in
Santiago, were burned to death.
Whether the account of the disaster which We
take from The Yaiparaiso Mercury, is in every
detail correct, we are, of course, unable to a.
certain but il leaves little doubt that the origin
Of The confagration was owing to the most cul-
pable reeklessne,s. A priest of the church wae
determined 10 have celebration in the most
splendid style exceeding oil that Santiago had
ever seen. Twenty thousand lights, in long
festoons Of colored globes, filed tho church,
with gauze and drapery oi every description.
Every corner OF the building, from the ground
TO tho ceiling, and especially about tho altar,
was sea Of muslin and drapery, flooded with
every kind Of illumination. The church which
was filed With so much combustiblc material
had n roof Of painted wood, ana only one door OF
easy access, and this one opening inside. Oh
course, this chief door became at once blocked
up; while the fire, in consequence of the numer.
GUS lights and plentiful drapery, spread 80 rap
idly as 10 burn in less than fifteen minutes,
about two thousand persons to bhckened
corpses.
In many Of the cities both of the New and
the Old World, a similar catastrophe would
probably have led to terrible popular outbreaks
against those who, by their lack of caution and
superintendent, were clearly to be blamed for
it. The people Of Santiago contented them
selves with demanding the demolition Of the
building, which has, moreover, = sad notoricty
for the number OF accidents that in former times
have occurred in it. The priests stgenuohsly
opposed the popular demand, and even threat
ned ecclesiastical censures; bot the Govern
ment considered it necessary to yield to the
popular pressure, and to decree The demolition
of the building.
| Such an occurrence should arouse attention
to the necessity Of strict regulations for the
police of churches, schools and public and
private buildings everywhere. Many improve.
ments have of late been made in this respect by
the legislatures of most civilized countries; but
how much still remains to be done how many
disasters are siill recorded from year to year
which a slricter legislation about the proper
condition of buildings would have ayerted
The terrible disaster in Chill calls for thorough
examination and revision OF legislation, wherever
it is needed 10 avert such appalling calamties.
