tence at the end of the greater part of the
newspaper reports of fres-"the. cause of origin
Of the fire is not known'-proved how much
we had to learn in that respect. The only re.
port of the causes of fires which VIC had was
that issued annually by the London Fire Bri-
gade, which was organized by that able and in.
trepid superintendent, the late much lamented
Mr.. Braidwood. To him and his successor,
Mr.. Shaw, we were mainly indebted for these
useful and curious reports on the causes OF hres
INQUIRIES, he believed, were made by the brl-
gade into the origin of the fires Immediately
after they had been subdued. But to show
how extremely difficult it was to arrive at the
true causes, he might state that 474 out of
l,4S7 fires in 1864, or nearly 80 per cent
were returned "causes unknown" while IN
1866 the proportion was even larger, for 5o9 out
of 1888, or SO per cent, were turned IN the
same way. He had no doubt that the members
Of the Fire Brigade were most assiduous IN
their e~xertions to discover the truth, and that
we might depend upon the returns being as &C
curate as could be arrived at under the clrcum-
stances but it was evident that there was a
necessity for a more searching investigation be-
ing made into all fires by a ~well-qualifed per-
son who was accustomed to receive and sift evil
dence. Such an investigation would be pro-
ductive of much good in various ways. On
that point the late Mr.. Braidwood wrote:-
,"One Of the greatest preventives Of careless
ness in the use of fires and lights would be q
legal inquiry in every case, as 1t would not only
show the faults that had been committed, and
thus warn others, but the idea Of being ex.
posed in the newspapers would be another mo-
tive for increased care.'

The Antietam Celebration.

The Antietam Celebration occurred on
Tuesday, II. Gov. Swami, of Maryland,
opened the ceremonies with a short address,
in which he said that in that solemn hour he
invoked the ''interpositiOn of Almighty God
for speedy restoration of harmony and broth

the animosities of the past, we may stand to.

Masonic ceremonies. The Grafton was deliv.
cred by Gov. Bradford. 4 hymn was then
sung. and poem read. Gov Geary was loud.
~ called for, but he declined to speak until
the programme" was completed President
johnson then made brief speech, in which
he said:
II shall not attempt to give utterance to the
feelings Of emotion inspired by the addresses
and prayers which have been made. and the
hymns which have been sung. shall attempt
no such thing. am merely here to give my
coun'enance and aid to the ceremonies on this
occasion but may be permitted to express
the hope that we may follow the example
which has been.sH eloquently alluded to this
afternoon, and which has been 50 clearly set

BATTLEFIELD, and think of the brave men on both
sides who fell in the fierce struggle IF battle,
and who sleep silent in their grave Yes. who
sleep in silence and peace after the earnest
conflict has ceased. Would to God. we Of the
living could initiate their examrle. as they Law
sleeping in peace in their tombs and live to-
gether in friendship and peace. TApplause "
Thebenediction was then pronounced. when
the President. Cabinet officers, Gov. Swami,
and others, left the platform.
Calls were renewed for Gov Gearv by the
crowd which constituted a meeting independ.
ent Ofthc regular arrangement By the nuthOri.
ties Of the State and the Board of Managers
of the Antietam National Cemetery. Gov.
Geary. being emphaticaliy and vociEerously
called for, came forward. saying:
"FelIow Ciizens: After all you have
heard to day had supposed you would want
nothing more. The programme opened and
concluded with prayer. Those who have
waited must come in at the close; but, my
friends, We still have place in the hearts Of
the people. TApplause.1 When you come
to Pennsylvania we will let everybody speak
we want to hear. Thanks to Almighty God
for his preservation and care Of the country,
we have no gag. CApp!auSe We have no
programmes for this purpose. [Renewed ap,
plause.] We have no gag on our pro-
grammes."
He then went on with his speech. He was
followed by Gov. Fentou. of New York
The crowd then dispersed. tits very evident
from Gov. Gearv's remarks that there was
any thing but harmonious" feeling on the
occasion.

Grant and the Radicals,

The leading radicals of the country are
afraid of Gen. Grant. He is not sufficiently
committed to their policy to be made Pres
idential candidate, and they are afraid to take
up any one else on account Of the apprehen-
sion that he will be run as an opposition can.
didu,c. They would like to cnjoIe him into
quietude, and the retention Of his present po-
sition. without the indulgence of higher as
piratiOus. The st. Louis Dem0cr0t, one Of
the most bitterly radical journals Of the coun.
try, thus alludes to the General -
1t is reported on the authority Of an officer
of General Grants stuff. that he says that he
would not accept-that the Office would mar
his reputation. and drag him into the turmoil
of politics. We hope that this may prove to
he the Generals settled denomination
There are millions of men in this country who
feel the utmost gratitude toward him for his
great services, and who most sincerely hope
that he will not permit his name to be used
as a candidate for an Office to which the
country desires to choose a man of known
opinions, and a tried and able statesman. 1t
is altogether likely that the General would
not increase his reputation or his hold upon
the affection of the people by accepting a
political nomination. II he realizes this. he
will reject the advice of those who wish to
use him. will remain for life general Of the
army-a position in which the whole country
will not only honor him, but place the utmost
confidence in him.
