ROBERT RIDGEwAY. editor of the Rich
mond Whig, announces himself candi-
date for Congress for the fourth district
of Virginia, at the october election In
his address to the people he says he is
not the candidate of any party, Or any
faction. Old political issues have passed
away, and new ones have taken their
place. He declares that we live in new
era and under a new dispensatiou o
deal practically and wisely with the pres
ent, and to keep wary and vigi'ant
ever upon the Developments of the fr-
tire, is the simple and urgent duty ut the
hour
He says secession was no remedy for
any political i'll, real or imaginary and
that he was always opposed to it. He
adds the abolition of slavery is one of the
acknowledged results of the war, and it
becomes the duty of the people of Viz
ginia to accept that result in entire goo'l
faith, dismissing from their minds the
chimerical idea, if any such is entertain
ed by them, that il can III any event ever
be re established. He declares h. is "p-
posed to further proScriptive policy
against southern people. or the c'niisra-
of property of any one.

Would it not be we'll for the city faith
ers to lock the stable, now that the horse
is stolen, and provide more adequate
means than we now have for the sup
preston of fire? The city of Wheeling
has enjoyed a remarkable immunity
from the ravsges of fire during several
years past, and, as a consequence, We
doubt if there is another city of its size
in the United States where the appara-
tus for the extinction of fire is in as bad
order as here. Neither of the fire COM
panies in the city are provided with ade-
quate hose aud though the men COM
posing the several companies work like
heroes they can do no more towards put
ting out fire than an equal number of
unorganized citizens without apparatus.
Several engines were useless last night
and those that did succeed in throwing
a stream of water were not half as eff
fective as they might have been had
they been provided with better hose. A
single steam fire engine with proper
supply of good hose would have extin-
guished the fire last night in fifteen mill
utes from the time it was first discov-
cred. Let us learn some degree of wis
dom from the confagration which de-
stroyed many thousand dollars worth OF
property last night and be better pre-
pared for the future.
The events eff last night furnish also
another argument for the increase of the
police force. Had it not been for the
presence of the military guard, many val
liable goods would have been stolen from
the various stores which were emptied
of their contents and those that were
thought to be in danger. The thanks OF
the people are due to the military for
the timely aid they afforded they pre-
vented theft and enabled those who were
dispn ed to work honestly to do so with
more freedom and ease but this was the
duty of the city police. The pancitN OF
their number rendered it impossible for
them to do what was their appropriate
work In this respect also the city conn-
ell may learn an important lesson
