WASHINGTON Hook AND LADDER COMPANY.
The 37th anniversary of this efficient branch
of our fire department occurred Yesterday,
and was celebrated by social supper a their
rooms last evening. 1t was one of those good
social affairs where all enjoyed themselves.
The table was bountifully spread, and the
viands were OF the best kind. The Engineers
of the Fire Department, officers of steamers
and members of the press were invited, and
some of each class were present. Capt. George
B. Riley presided in handsome style, and
everything went off pleasantly.
This company is composed of twenty MEM
bers, who are an honor to our fire department.
They are all strong men, and ever ready at the
alarm, although they are obliged to haul their
heavy carriage and its load of ladders and
hooks. Yet they are never backward at fires,
but always upon the ground before their ser.
vices are actually needed.
The Company was organized in 1881. Its
present officers are George B. Riley, Foreman;
Edwin Webster, Clerk; George Morris, Stew
ard. May they enjoy many as happy times as
that of their 37th anniversary.

A FEW SOUTHERN freshmen, for the sake of
political effect. issue an address complaining
that they are disfranchised while negroes en-
Joy the right of voting. 1t is obviously on at
tempt to improve the waning prospects OF the
Democracy by exciting the prejudices OF the
Irish against the Republicans.
The reason why no negro is DISTINGUISHED, is
that none of them were disloyal Irishmen or
Americans are DISTINGUISHED only because they
are dsloyal and aid the rebellion. Neither
the Reconstruction acts nor the new State
constitutions disfranchise men for any other
reason.
Here is little distinction which these Irish
men, like nearly all Democrats, fail to notice.
That the people notice it is evident from the
manner in which they rally to the support Of
the party that dsfranchised the traitors. 1t is
no worse for Irish rebels to be disfranchised
than for Americans. They have no right to
claim greater privileges or immunities than
native citizens possess. Natives and foreign
born citlzens are, as they should be, treated
alike under the Reconstruction laws.
1t may not be agreeable to either to see loval
negroes enjoying rights from which thew are
themselves excluded But they should have
thought of the punishment before committing
the crime. 1t is rather late to complain now

A Few Eeeentricities.

1t is curious but entirely characteristic
proceeding for the Democrats to complain OF
the political disabilities of their Southern
friends, though it is universally known that
when bills were repeatedly introduced in Con-
gress for the removal of these disabilities in
certain cases THE DEMOCRATS VOTED IN BODY
AGAINST THEM.
Again, Democrats complain that the Freed
mems Bureau is costly, How does it happen
that EVERY DEMOCRAT voted against its dis
continuance on the LIST of January?
Again, yells the Copperhead, the Republican
Congress has excluded sovereign States from
the Union. Here they re met a third time by
the startlidg fact that EVERY DEMOCRAT voted
against the bill admitting six of these States
to the Union.
The increased pay Of Congressman is anoth-
er ground of complaint. The Democrats in
both Houses voted against it. Not a member
from Maine in either House voted for the $500
salary.
Another inconsistency is observable in the
conduct of the Democracy on the greenback
question. When illegal tenders" were first is
sued, Pendleton, who was then in Congress,
raised his voice against them and was second
ed in his unpatriotic clamor by his Democratic
colleagues. Pendleton and his cohorts now
want to issue the same sort of curr sncy by the
billion dollars. When ereenbacks were need
ed to pay the army and save the nation De-
mocracy scorned them; when thep are needed
utterly to ruin the financial standing of the
country and render it an outcast among ma
tons, Democracy desires to carpet the entire
continent with them.
The Democracy contend that the expenses
OF the government should be reduced. Their
sincerity IN this matter is established barond
controversy by the estimates of the Democrat
&c Secretaries which had to be reduced this
year nearly hundred millions of dollars.

who has already secured the unqualified praise
of not only the daily press of New York and
Boston but also OF the musical journals, will
open the course assisted by the Germania
Band. Do our readers fully comprehend what
it is that these committees of the G. A. r. and
the M. L. A. are doing? Do they understand
that they are securing the most distinguished
talent before that talent has appeared in any
other cities, besides the great musical strong
holds? Such activity and energy goes far to-
wards refining and cultivating people; places
before them the highest standards, and by
these means educates and improves their
taste. When we come to consider that smaller
towns in the State, like Bangor and Lewiston,
have their Musical Conventions twice every
year, (where they gather together not only the
musical talent of Maine, but also from differ
ent parts of New Engand) while Portland
does not boast of a Chamber Concert given by
city talent, too much praise cannot be bestowed
on those who take the initiative in stirring up
the public and rousing them from their apathy
AS far as the Germania Band is concerned
their merits are well known here; their seec-
ton is very fine one, and well calculated to
please. Let every one that can turn out, and
not only patronse good thing but put money
in the treasury of one of our most worthy in
stitutions-the one which watches over the
widows and fatherless of those who died that
their country might live.
Arrangements have been made at the hall

From Henry C9etns & Cos. Circular.
The ease in money has been attended
With a marked activity in Government
Securities; which, though partially
speculative, yet proves to have been
backedIby substantial considerations.
AS usual at this season, the banks hsve
been large buyers of bonds for the en-
ployment OF their ample Summer balan-
ces :and, beyond this, there have been
other special causes tending to impart
unusual firmneSs to this class of secure

ton in favor of the StricteSt regard for
the national honor in dealing with the
Public Debt while the other, at pres
ent, seems likely to take an equally
pronounced position in respect TO the
These facts are important; inasmuch
as they amount to an acknowledge
ment by political leaders that they had
mistaken the public sentiment in as
sumSng that the people would favor
any species of tampering with the ma
tional obligations. Government bonds
can have no surer guarantee than the
resolution of the people to honor them
in the strictest good faith. The rapid
progress of the funding of 7-So notes
has placed nearly the entire short debt
in consolidated form. About S75, ,OOO-
600 of the notes remain out standing,
which are likely to be mostly convert-
ed into Five-Twenties within thirty
days leaving them in the form of short
obligations, $50 200, COO of per cent:
Certificates, $2l 500, 600 of Compound
Interest notes, and $40, sol, 900 of matur-
ed debt not presented for payment;
which items, il is to be presumed, will
be gradually 1iqdidated from surplus
revenue and sales of coin. The compile
ton of consolidating the permanent
debt being thus brought within near
view has an important effect in
strengthening the confidence OF those
who, while the debt was in an unsettled
form and, to their view, liable to in
crease, were indisposed to invest in
our Bonds. The late advance in real
estate in all parts of the country has a
tendency to check Investments in that
direction, and so far divertS investors
to Government Bonds, as Offering at the
same time the best security and IA high
rate ofinterest. In addition 10 these
considerations operating taVorably up
on the value of the Bonds, there has
been a very active demand both at
home and from abroad for the invest
ment of the May interest amounting to
S24, ,OOO, ,OO00 in gold. Under this COM
bination of causes, prices have adVlnc.
ed much above the quotations at the
same period oflast year.

no doubt of collusion existing be-

Agent of the Navy Department, and
also intimate that the Secretary of the
Navy himself had knowledge OF the
circumstances. They state that all the
Government parties of Peru, Spain and
the United States are fully aware ofthe
facts in the case, and call upon the Ex-
ecutive Department to prevent the
sailing of the vessels for Peru, as they
are being loaded with guns, ammuni-

proving they intend to violate the in
ternational obligations of this country.

The virginia debt.


The entire debt of this State, in round
numbers, is about S43, ,000, 900. This SIt1n
includeS the interest funded, and to be
funded under the act OF March 2, 1886,
with the accrued interest thereon, but
for the payment of which no provision
has been made, and which, altogether,
amounts to upwards of $1,000, 600; and it
also includes that portion of the debt
which legitimately belongs to West
Virginia, and for the adjustment of
which that State Is in every way
bound. Again; the interest held by the
State in her different internal improve
ment companies amounts to upwards of
S29, ,O00, 600; including, however, SIC, ,400,-
600 held in the James River and Kama
wba canal, which is now of little value.
Surprising, however, that the State
would realize in exchange for her inter-
est aforesaid her own stocks and bonds
at par to the extent of Sl2, ,000, O00-not
at all Iimpracticable-the entire debt of
the State will be so far redeemed as to
make tPperfectly manageable.
