IMPERFECT BUILDINGS.

Half the great fires in this and in most American
cities result from defective buildings. Flues are
placed where lues should not be; or wood is placed

particularly hot fire is made cold night, whereby

one Of dozen ways in which the earnings OF years
are given over to quick destruction.

rigdly the construction Of buildings, the storing Of
combusibes, &C., with a view TO the prevention OF

HENRY A. SMYTHE, President Of the Central Ma
tional Bank, was Yesterday nominated for Collector
Of this Port So the long agony is over and we think
happily over. Mr.. Smythe was never much OF poll
tician, belongs to no wing" no clique and had
very little political support. For years prosperous
and at length an eminent merchant, of late leading
and successful banker his backing was almost wholly
from business men, aud his selection reflects credit on
the President who made it; the more that bis leading
competitors were conspicuouSly strong and fit men,
And now, If Mr.. Smythe shall be allowed to man
age the Custom. House he does his Bank, we pre-
diet for him a brilliant and hOnOred career If he has
to "run the machine a tender rather than loco
motiye-if be must make places for this political
pauper and keep that one in the place he already
holds he will fail of course, good men have failed
before him. But let him put in and keep in only such
men as he shall find capable and worthy, wedding out
the other sort without fear favor and he will prove
most energetic and efficient Collector.

The Times of yesterday publishes letter from the
Hon Joseph Segar of Virginia, to Gen. Howard on the
legislative action of that State in regard to freedmen.
The Times says that application" was made to the
editor of The TRIBUNE asking the publication of the
letter. but that the application unsuccessful
that this journal had not consented 10 publish the
letter" That the publication asked for is true;
that consent refused is not true. Unfortunately,
we cannot get half a dozen columns of matter into
one column of room, which so many of our
friends think it easy to do And Of that matter which
do publish, very much has to await its turn, the
current news taking precedence Of that which is not
so pressing. We should like to oblige everybody,
particularly that large class who think nothing is of
any moment except that which they write. But We
are compelled to our own poor discretion, for, if
we asked counsel of each particular writer and fol-
lowed it, we should be compelled to publish about
half dozen newspapers day to satisfy them. Mr..
Segars letter was file for publication, and would
have appeared in due season. As he could not wait
we are quite satisfied that he should have found some
other channel of getting his views before thepublic.

RECONsTRUCTION.

The testimony Of A. II. Stephens, as printed else.
where, will be read with peculiar interest. The
second officer in the Confederacy-but always re.
garled as a reluctant Rebel-possessng the confidence
of the good men OF the South more thoroughly than
any of their leaders, his words have than ordi-
nary meaning He tells US that overruling major
iy Of the people Of Georgia are now willing to accept
the results of the war in all their funess to become
loyal citizens and abandon forever any claim to
ercise the right of Secession. That experiment is a
failure and nothing else deferred them the memory
Of the dreadful war would be sufficient. Emancpa.
ton is accepted by the people in good faith The ne.
groes desire TO work, and the relations between en-.
ployer and employee satisfactory as in any part
of the world Other portions Of Mr. Stephens ties.
tmony seem to strengthen the idea generally preva.
lent in the North that Georgia and other States in the
South were forced into Secession by the Rebel leaders
As to suffrage in the South, Mr.. Stephens assures
us that proposition to extend it to the negroes
would not be adopted in Georgia. His own
idea of limited suffrage is very grateful, as an
evidence OF enlightenment on the part Of Southern
statesmen which we hope to find more general. The
hopes Of regeneration in the South must depend to
some extent upon such men Stephens and Reagan
Their course now, in the face Of public sentiment,

Without disparagement to The Washington ChrOni-

by putting him on the Pension List of the House Of
