The LATE DIsAsExR AT THE BRooKnxN Fire.
The danger to which our 6remen ape subject
was perhaps never better exempli1ed, nor the
gallantry with which they expose tilsir lives in
the service Of thepnblic more fatally illustrated,
than in the recent disastrous FIRE In Brooklyn.
But there sppearst0 be an idea abroad that there
was want Of discretion on the part Of the Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department Of that city in
unnecessarily risking the lives Of the men who
suffered from that calamity by permitting them
TO remain upon those herihls traps-the gar.
dens which oEerlie the stores In. Furman street.
It would be,unfAlr 10 prejudgs. the question Of
bis responsibility until the Investigations before
the Coroner are concluded because there ane
two sides, TO every story; but At the same time
II must be EVIDENT to every one that the fearful
lesson lsarned from this disaster should lead to
the immediate removal Of those gardens, which,
in order to give larger area to the pleasure
grounds of the residents Of that fashionable
locality known ~ Brooklyn Heights, have been
extended over the roof Of Whole block Of
buildings, nearly all Of which are occupied
by manufactures In which dangerous and
infammable compounds are employed. We
trust, therefore, that the vestgaion now
In progress will result in q very positive re-
commentator that those gardens should be
removed. We believe that this Il not the first
time that the pressure Of six feet Of earth, with
its additional weight Of shrubbery, has forced
in the roofs of those buildings, though, fortu-
nately, never before at SO severe q cost Of
human life.

THE Reese River Mining District propel

THE Reese River Mining District proper,
everything indicates the utmost activity
and prosperity. The city is full Of new
corners. The Overland stages come load.
ed, and money is abundant. The mines
are being worked with vigor, and large
hosting machinery is now employed in
the principal ones. In a very few months
the most encouraging shipments Of bullion
may be safely anticipated from this source.
When all these mills are fairly in opera
ton, and the mines connected with them
are properly opened, the Reese River re-
gion will make a magnificent return OF
treasure, and add force to the conviction
that the mineral of the Pacific
coast are alone sufficient to extinguish
every vestige Of national Indebtedness
within the ensuing decade, and leave us
in addition the fullest national treasury IN
the world.-Boston Traveller, Oct. 3lSt.
Between us and the pump-handle, we
are willing to swear that the foregoing is
just about as good a notice (and we will
swear to its truth, if "the Comstock" is
put in for Reese as we have been able to
write for the state Of Washoe for a year
past. Now come on with your millions
Of greenbacks, and get them changed into
silver and gold bricks! We can see you,
for although Washoe has the lodges Of the
precious ore in endless numbers, running
deep into the bowels of the earth, she still
lacks capital or float currency to develop
her many countless millions of solid

SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.
SPECIAL DsrArou TO rHE GOLD HILL DAILY NEWS.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 27-2 P. N.
Forenoon stock transactions.
RaiIroad Petition.

A petition will be presented to the next
Nevada Legislature for its action in behalf
of the proposed railway from this State to
San Francisco, Of which the following is
a copy:
To the Honorable, the Legislature Of the
State Of Muada: The undersigned, citi-
zens Of - county, State Of Nevada,
respectfully represent to your Honorable
body, that there are OF this time two Rail-
roads being constructed from the naviga-
BILE waters of the State of California to
this State that n of these roads Qhe
Central Pacific has received large grants
of land and liberal subsidies from the
General Government, besides liberal dona-
tions from counties and cities in California
and from the State, and that the said road
is being built entirely from the capital de-
rived from these sources; that the Placer
vile and Sacramento Valley Railroad,
with its terminus as aforesaid, it is be-
lieved, will be completed to Placeryille
early in the ensuing Spring; that q com.
pany known rs the San Francisco and
Washoe Railroad Company" for the pur-
pose Of constructing q Railroad from
Placerville to the said State of Nevada, is
fully organized-have caused a thorough
and accurate survey of their route to be
made and the line located, which was
found to be in every respect feasible and
practicable /; that neither of said last-men-
toned roads has ever received any aid
from public sources, except the subscrip-
tons Of the county of Ell Dorado and the
city Of Placerville for three thousand
shares Of stock, for which their bonds have
been received, and that aside from said
bonds, the work on said roads has been
prosecuted entirely by private enterprise.
And your petitioners further represent
that the route selected for the said last
mentioned railroads is the one on which at
least nine-tenths Of the freight and travel
have heretofore flowed to this State, thus
proving, indirectly at leas,, its superiority
as the natural route of travel /; that the
amount Of travel and freight flowing to
this State is already great enough to keep
two roads leading hither in full employ
and is constantly increasing /; that the in
terests of our State as well as the whole
section of territory between the Sierras
and Salt Lake City imperatiyely demand
the speedy construction of at least two
roads over the said mountains to this
State.
Wherefore, your petitioners urge and
request that you will Immediately memo
rialize Congress upon the necessity Of at
once granting aid both by lands and
O to the said San Francisco and
Washoe and the said Placerville and Sac
ramento Valley Railroad Companies. and
that you will instruct and request the
Senators and Representative of u State
in Congress, to use all honorable means to
secure the said mid and subsidies in as
liberal allowance as may be.
And your petitioners will ever pray, etc.

MARRIED By PRoxY.--The Call relates
a case of marriage by proxy in San Fran
cisco, the parties being q young lady of
that city, and q merchant who, before the
day originally fixed upon had arrived, was
compelled to make a trip to Mazatlan.
Bidding his intended to he of good cheer,
and promising to be back by the day ap-
pointed for the wedding, he took passage
for Mexico. Man proposes but God dis
poses, and in this case, although the gen.
tleman used his utmost endeayors, he
could not SO arrange his affairs as to re-
turn by the time agreed upon, but he could
not bear to have his intended disappoint-
ed, and in order to remedy the matter, he
sent q power of attorney to a friend OF his,
with instructions to marry the girl for him
and in his name. The friend, DESTROYS Of
accommodating the absent one, has applied
to the County Court for a license. Tho
matter is in allegiance. It would be inter-
esting to the absent one if the "proxy"
were to insert his W name instead Of
his friends in the contract. Such things
hare been.-Sac. Bee.

WHICH ONE FIRsTP

With England or with Francef Shall

troops first withdraw from Mexico, -leav-
ing Max. on the dead break for Yucatan
and Cuba: One or the other $ bound to
come, and come quick. No signs OF
the times" about it the matter is in black
and white. The English are evidently
very anxious to have q muss stirred up
'twixt Crapeau and Samuel. to head of
our insisting too sharply and suddenly on
the damage-restitution call Of Adams and
Seward. Which makes US think that the
row will first be 'twixt Johnathan and
Bull.

ence: both are bound to COM /; and in our
day and generation, -probably in 1865.

WHO RULES.

When in session, Congress is the RULER
of the Nation. The.President may sug-
gest, may ask that the Representatives of
the people do thus and so /; Secretaries may
advise and urge that certain things be
done to accomplish named results all
we'll; all usual all right: but Congress
decides as to the adoption Of measures or
the originating of bills expressive Of its
own idess-perhaps Numerically OPPOSED
to the Administrators idea or desire.
This is q fact that should not be lost sight
Of: the Congress, the Representatives Of
the people, is the governing power
Of the land, when it is in official term. So
it was intended. The Constitution Of u
country is to-day, notwithstanding the
fog that has been fumed upon it, tolerably
clear and satisfactory on this Republican
point. We yet remain in a Government
Of the people and the people say yes"
or "no" through Representatives and
senators IN Congress assembled oome
p~eople,-good people, very good people,
too-are inclined to get in a sweat because
this or that Cabinet Minister says some
thing in regard to the policy of the u
try which they do not like. They presume
that such an opinion is certain to DO car
RED out as the part or principle OF the
Government system or diplomacy for the
future. 1t may or it may not be so. OF
course, great respect is paid to the recon-
mendations Of the President and his able
Secretaries /; but the general history Of Ma
,ional Legislation shows a frequent adopt
ton by Congress Of plans absolutely and
entirely opposite to the Administrators
programme.

JOHN BULL ss-ExAMINED.-Four-
teen out Of the twenty-nino persons in
England who were alleged to be victims Of
the rebel cotton loan, have rushed into
print to disclaim all connection with the
matter. The two editors Of the London
Times, whose names appeared in the list,
assert that they never invested a dollar in
the cotton bonds, and that consequently
they have not lost a cent. The probability
is that these parties tell the truth in re.
gard to having suffered no loss in this
way, but they ought to have informed the
public ,Uhat they haze failed to make by the
collapse of the C~onfederacy. There il
hardly q doubt that the bonds given to
the Times and other influential parties,
was designed to secure their influence in
favor of the rebellion, as we'll as to induce
bona Jfde subscribers to take the loan. II
is q rather significant fact that the parties
designated as %bondholders are those who
during the war were most earnest in their
advocacy of the recognition Of the Confed'
eracy. They have told US that they lost
nothing actually, and VIC believe them
will they now tell US what they lost pros
pectively

The comprehensive result OF loyal sue
cess in our recent struggle is homogenity
of institutions, and the organic law OF the

and for this purpose the Constitution
should be amended IN three several points:
LIST. Such provision as shall prevent
any attempt, through State or other action,
to provide for the payment Of the Confed-
crate or other Indebtedness contracted in
aid of the rebellion, with perhaps q special
export tax on Southern products, particu-
larly set apart for the reduction Of the
Federal debt.
