oar Fire Alarm WI :aiie.

10 the Edi.of 81 the fTeSS:
There is one thing that the City Government
ought to attend to-that is, the "Fire Alarm
whistle" Last winter there were several
communications in the daily papers, ob)ectlng
to this method of giving the alarm OF hre to
our tiremen I understand that orders have
been given to the engineer not to blow the
whistle. | ask if it woul not be better for
few of our .toreper fault finding people to be
disturbed of their SAUNDERS by the blowing of
this whistle than to have another as destruc-
tive fire as the one of July Ali, 1866. Our
firemen depended entirely upon that whistle
last winter, and since the discontinuance of
the same they hardly know where there is a
fire I have happened to be at an engine
house when a n alarm was given, and to my
own knowledge the driver of the engine, who
drives one of the city teams, happened to be at
the end of the city and did not hear it. The
consequence was the engine did not go out of
the house. Now must the City Government
or Fire Department be governed by few citi-
zens who do nothing but find fault? How
would it work if their building were on fire,
and the firemen were too late so save the prop
erty? Then they would grumble because it
would take SO long for the fremen to getto the
fire. Do they ever think of the cause of this
great delay? Often it is the case that the en-
gines get to the fire, and there is no one to
even help put down the suction hose. Is this
the way to have an efficient ire Department,
and have the firemen on hand when they are
most needed? Ask any fireman what his
opinion is of the blowing of the whistle, and
you will find he demands it. Then let u have
the whistle blown by all means, aud the City
Government will receive the hearty thanks of
all fircmen. AN EX-MEMBER OF THE

VIRGINIA..
ACTION OF THE Seeding MEMBERS OF TIL
STATE CONVENTION.

STATE CONVENTION.
RICHMOND, Nov 26 "A meeting ofthe seced-
ers from the Republican convention yesterday
took place this morning at the office of the
State Journal, the Republican organ. Sixty
members were present, about half the original
convention. James ii. Clements, former can
didate for Lieut.. Governor on the Republican
ticket was chosen chairman. j. II. Platte,
member elect of Congress, rected the causes of
withdrawal, which he said were mainly found
ed in determination of a party in the conven-
ton to choke off by fair or unfair means large
number OF members present. He thought the
majority report, which was adopted by force,
was direct censure on the President and Con-
gress, and in opposition to the Republican
party of the country. He believed that if the
Republican party of Virginia could be put in
accord with the Republican party of the coun-
try and made SO that men of liberal views
could join it it could carry the State. The de-
claratiOns in the address to Congress about
danger to Republicans in the State were I'M
true, and Congress would discover the decep-
ton to the ultimate injury of the Republican
party.
John jenkins, chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee said that the things
stated of the people of Virginia in the address
were untrue and the life of Republican was as
safe in Virginia as in New York.
o. A. Hins, leader of the Republican Con-
stitutiOnal Convention, said that this move
ment was not wholly the result of yesterdays
proceedings, but growing desire among the
people that the Republican party in Virginia
should be put up on liberal respectable basis,
by which it might be enabled to carry the
State. The general drift of the speeches was
that times have changed and that the Republi-
can party of Virginia must be put in accord
with the Republican party of the country
Prescription and reckless denunciaton of the
people of the State must be dropped as obsolete
and the party must be made strong and re-
spectacle enough to carry the State on its own
merits as the party in other States does. All
the speakers disclaimed the idea of forming
another party and only desired to reorganize
the one now existing. A committee of sixteen
was appointed to Call a Republican Convention
at such time as it may think proper for reor-
ganization. II
" The seceders adjourned after transacting
some imDortant business. 1t is believed the
convention for reorganization will be called
shortly after the legislature commences. There
were twelve colered members of the conyen-
ton at the seceders meeting.

The KICKELBURY FAMILY.-Those folks who
are doing Paris" under difficulties will be
one of the sketches from the portfolio Of Mrs
Howard Paul at City Hall next Monday night.
This sketch is full of fun, and creates roars of
laughter. Mrs. HI. P.'s imitation of the vari-
GUS members of this typical family, all of
whom wear glasses of different patterns, ex-
hibits rare facial power of expression and re-
markable perception of character Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul quite upset the calculations that
zone and one makes two" in their entertain
ments, for between them they impersonate a
dozen people with wonderful skill and truth
fulness to nature. If our readers love fun, go;
if you like pathos, go; if you like singing and

ALMOST FIRE.-Just before o'clock last
evening Mr.. Foster, the Waterman at the new
Post Office, discovered fire in one of the stores
in the wooden building on Market street, oc-
cupied by man named Dyer, we understand.
Mr. Foster burst open the door and found that
a barrel half filled with shavings was lying on
its side near the petition, with an old coat
thrown over it, and the contents in a light
blaze, with the flames extending to the ceiling
With the assistance of two gentlemen who
were passing at the time Mr.. Foster extin-
guished the fire and put the building in charge
of the police. This is the second time fire has
been discovered in that store within two weeks.
Had the fire got we'll underway great de
struction of property might have resulted, as
the lots close by are occupied by wooden build
ings .-trr-=a-rfr
