FIRE IN Observation-Disclosures one and

building on Glasgow street, next to the resi-
dence of Henry Young, Esq, was discovered
to be on fire. The building is tenanted by
negroes. The neighbors were promptly at the
scene at the first alarm, and having a good
supply of water succeeded in arrestlng the
flames without the aid of the fire engines. But
for their prompt action and energy, it might
have been a destructive FIRE There is no

The sober second Tnourh1.

at the term of the Harrison County
Court, which closed few days ago, as
We learn, Judge Thomas w. Harrison
rendered IA decision on several cases
pending in that Court, of applications
for mdnddmWS to compel the registration
Ofparties whose names had been strick-
en- from the books. Tho Judges de-
cision was that the Board of Registra-
ton having acted, the Court had no
power to revise its action, which must
be final. The Judges decision was
limited to the particular cases before
him, and does not cover the whole
ground. The Judge does not decide
that he might not compel the Board to
act where it refused or neglected to do
SO, but the effect of the decision is that
he cannot determine how it shall act.
because If he could, he would have the
undoubted power of revision. This is a
clear and distinct recantation of the de-
ctsions made by Judge Harrison last
fall in Hampshire and Hardy; where he
not only compelled the boards to act.
but dictated what that action should be.
We are glad to see that the Judge has
reached so wise a sober second thought.
We learn that this view of the matter
was enforced on behalf of the State by
Hon. Geo. II. Lee, who goes further
than Judge Harrison, and holds that
the Circuit Courts haYe no supervision
whatever over the action of the boards
of registration.

The Arrest OF surratt.

Warrington Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
That "time atlast makes all things
even is also, perhaps, illustrated in
Surratt's case. It was cause tor lust in
dignation that the Catholic Church, or
at least, priests of the Catholic Church,
gave him shelter and secrecy-doing it
in violation of the spirit, if not of the
letter, of both human and Divine law,
because of his professed religious faith.
What was once matter of rumor and
snrmise, is made, by this correspond
epce, thing of recorded fact-he was
hidden and protected by Catholics in
Montreal, Quebec, Three Rivers, LON
doRGerry and Liverpool. II is gratify-
ing that he was finally arrested by the
highest authorities in the Catholic
Church. There are not wanting cap
tious readers ofthe correspondence who
insinuate that his escape from Italy
was connived at by the Papal officials,
that his arrest was only Cardinal An
tonelIIs plan for saving him from harm;
but can find no warrant in the papers
Tor harboring such foul and infamous
suspicion. It seems to me, on the con-
trary, that the Cardinal proved himself
our friend in very enlightened sense.
a true man, to be sure, could have done
no less than he did; but, since the be-
ginning of the rebellion, we have en-
countered so few true men in the high
places of Europe, that even much less
than he did do, would have given him
honorable prominence in our eyes. He
not only granted all our request, but,
as soon as he was satisfied of Surratt's
identity, he ordered his arrest without
waiting the red.tape tormalities to
which Minister King and Mr.. Seward
proposed resOrting. For so much, and
for proving that there is a nobler man
hood in his Church than the Canadian
and English priests showed, our thanks
are justly due 10 the Cardinal.

ENGLAND is distressed to find soldiers
for her army. Labor has grown so
valuable, emigration becoming so
tempting, that the class from which
soldiers are recruited can do better than
accept the petty pay, not changed for
these fifty years, that the army offers,
A good mechanic earns eight shillings
n day, while a British soldier has
but a single shilling. Nor can the gov
eminent afford TO put the army pay up
to n fair competition with labor. And
so it is in n puzzle. Did it ever think
to solve it by abolishing the army? In
fact, with labor so high and so impor-
tant as it is now to every manufacturing
country, governments cannot afford to
keep up large standing armies. What
they cost in pay and rations, and more.
what is lost to the productive industry
by their withdrawal from labor. is n
burden on government and country
that cannot justly be borne. And
more, it will not be. Civilization is fast
moving to recognition of the fact that
1t cannot afford to fight, or be prepared
for lighting. The profit and loss aspect.
not the moral or religious one. will
speedily settle the fact, that there shall
De no more wars. The great wars of
the last ten years in Europe and Amer
lea have only cleared the way for this
contamination. They have given on
portunity for the development of labor
and the growth OF men as men. that
make the resort to wars both unneces-
sary and impossible.

contrast, as the most quilting COM

his unexpected and almost matches
magnanlmity, his action as Governor
has been, SO far as 1 am advised
in the main wise, liberal and manly

Negro Suffrage.

1t is undeniabIy true that in voting
against Negro Suffrage in the District
OF Columbia, our three members in the
lower House of Congress represented
their constituents. 1t cannot be truth
fully said that the people of West Vir-
ginia are in favor of such suffrage as
the situation stands. But while this is
true, it is also equally true that the
tendency ofthe popular mind is strong
ly turned in that direction, and every
day that passes over our heads sees this
tendency growing more and more pos
tive. We are bound to come to it in
the long run. 1t is like the put
ting down of the rebellion, but
a simple question of time. The
Union men of the South are clamorous
for negro suffrage. They demand itnot
only as matter of seli-preservntion,
but also as matter of gratitude to
those who were their only friends in the
dark and uncertain hours OF the rebel
lion. AT the North, the opposition to
negro suffrage is growing percepiibly
fainter all the time. The sudden turn
round of few leading Democratic pa
pers in its favor, has demoralized and
almost silenced the opposition that was
heard so loudly in the late campaign.
The Democracy, we may say, have vir-
tually abandoned the contest and
scarcely make show of fight in anglo
cality. In Boston, the other day, they
ran negro candidate and cast several
hundred votes for him. The same thing
will happen elsewhere in the next cleo
tions, and thus, in a year or two, the
whole ground will be yielded. How
long it will take West Virginia to school
herself up to the point, is a matter of
mere speculation. We should saw,
however, that the process will not be
tedious. She is not apt to be far behind,
in all the steps that look to recon-
struction of the Union ON basis that
will insure not only permanent peace.
bnt likewise the permanent rights of all
those who stood by her side when she
was in the field.

comment on it:

THE resolution of Mr.. Kelly, of Penn
sylvania, in Congress, declaring that
the proposition that the national debt
should be paid by the generation con-
tracing il is not sanctioned by sound
principles of national economy, ought
to be adopted by Congress. The object
for which our debt was created was one
which will benefit every one of the sue
ceeding generations more than it bene-
hts the generation which created it..
What is the value of this Union to the
a5,OOO,OOO of lis population now living
compared with what will be its value to
the 10000, 900 who will inhabit it twenty
i've years hence; the lac, 900, 900 who will
inhabit it fifty years hence; or the
sOO.OOO,OOO who will inhabit it a
century hence? This generation has
borne the greater portion of the
burden of the restoration of the
Union already. II has sacrificed for
the Union at least 100000 lives; and it
has borne IA weight of taxation at least
five-fold heavier than would be borne by
any succeeding generation, even If we
Sno"lu uo no more Tor the next twenty
years than barely to keep down the in
terest upon the debt without paying
another dollar of the principal. This
generation, however, is willing to do
more than the mere payment of the in
terest. 1t is willing to pay fifteen or
twonty millions OF dollars annually
upon the principal.
Let Congress not forget that not mere
ly in paying the national debt, but in
acquiring private property, will this
generation benefit those which are to
come. Every dollar of taxation which
can be saved without detriment to our
national credit, will be dollar placed
at compound interest to the credit of
the next generation.
