The Legislature.

Notwithstanding the adjournment NJ this
body, the Rebels and Conservatives are still
blazing their danuneiatiOnI agains. it. EV-
cry remembrance Of the bold, fearless aad
patriotic manner, IN which its members dis
charged their duties, ItirS up their nalirni-
ties afresh. Hate with them has become
chronic and disregard Of the truth cOnsti:u-
tional. Can they hope by this system Of afro
cious salunhiation and falsehoods TO turn
honest men from the path Of duty, aud thus
accomplish their own nefarious designs
They need not lay the hattsriag unctiOn TO
their souls, that their splenetic displays and
prophecies Of dire disasters, if the course of
legislation Is not changed, will deter the nett
General Assembly from following the land
marks Of its predeeessorS. II will be COM
posed Of " Stsrusr stuff' than to be terrified

courage o! Spartan heroes to the right, and
fully redeemed their pledges to the people to

10 justice to the three Conservative msnbsrI,
We say that they proved themselves worthy
aud Efficient, and made no Efforts to ,rsmmsl
the popular will and obstrust the Political
progress Of the State.

The Knoxville Wig says
A WISE APPOINTMENT.
We mean that oftho rebel General,
Longetreet, to DO Surveyor Of the
port Of New Orleans. True, he fought
the Government, vigorously and eff
GENTLY. But then, when the surrnder
came, LOngstreet accepted the situa-
ton with an earnestness and praCtie-
%alness, that proved his reconstruction
genuine, He not only submitted him
self but be advised his neighbors and
his fellow citizens Of the South to do
the thing. For this, he has been
soundly berated BY many whose sub
mission is enforced and unwillinglyj
as he viii be, also for accepting the
office which President Grants mag.
unanimous appreciation has conferred.
But, Notwithstanding, the appoint
ment is a wise one ; far more so, in
deed, than the pardons which John.
son has fastened to confer upon M
repentant rebels and assassinsj be-
cause it shows that the Government
can be discreetly magnanimous to
its real friends, and that repentance
among those who were enemies in arms
will not remain unnoticed or unre.
warded.
The n. Y. Tribune. is more than
pleased, as shown in the following
language:
Our new President has done many
acts for which his country will ever
hold him in grateful remembrance
but he mover did a wiser or nobler
act than his nomination yesterday OF
Gen. James Longstreet for Surveyor
of the Port of New Orleans, Gen.
LOngstreet was a Rebel-a fighting
Rebel-the best division commador in
their service after StOnewall jackson.
Yet, from the hour Of the downfall Of
the Confederacy, he has been one of
the most earnest, consistent, efficient
Unionists in the South, and has been
scorned, tabooed, scoffed at therefor
by all that is malignant and impiaoable
in the South. His nomination for a
high trust BY Gen. Grant is n Of
the best measures of practical Recon.
.structioR yet devised; and reflects
honor on all concerned. We hope for
it's prompt confirmation,
The N. Y. Herald chimes in its
qualification in this wise General
James Longstreet in q good fat office
in New Orleans from General Grant.
1t was General Longstreet who in the
terrible battle of the Wilderness came
so neal doubling up the right wing of
General Grant. But Longstreet, bav,
ing in good faith surrendered aud &C
the situation ard advocated
submission to the laws of the land
and the powers that be, finds in Gen.
eral Grant the chivalr,c soldier who
is glad to meet in a late rebel ad-
versary q loyal man, worthy a
recognition of the govern
ment. This is a new and import

fully with water carried to the roof in
buckets. Some of the hose carriages
soon arriving, attachments were made
to the fre-plugs in the vicinity
and it speedily became apparent that the
building would be saved. Just as the
fire in the roof was getting under con-
troll great volume of flame was seen
bursting from the large room upon the
first floor, formerly used as a dining
hall. This unexpected demonstration
of the tire-fend caused great excite
ment, but like the fire above was not
permitted to master the situation. By
the time the steam engines arrived the
flames were almost entirely extinguish-
ed, and with their aid the fight was soon
finished.
The detention in this branch of the
Fire Department was due to the fact
that two of the engines were unpro-
vided with horses, and the third, the
United, is kept at such distance from
the scene of action that it could not
possibly have been on hand much
sooner. The one located in North
Wheeling was drawn the greater por-
tion of the way by hand, but finally
stuck in the mud, and remained their
until horse was procured to attach to
it. 1t strikes US that Council ought no
longer to hesitate to provide horses
enough for these engines to make them
available when their services are re
quired.
Had the Grant House depended for
safety upon the Fire Department alone
it would have been heap of ashes TO-
day. Fortunately the roof was thor
oushly saturated with rain, the tire
could not make rapid Roadway, and was
readily controlled by the water thrown
upon it with buckets until the hose
could be brought to bear upon it.
The cause of the fire is left entirely to
conjecture. None of the CRATES in the
Kramer House were in use at the time
and had not been for some days. 1t Is
remarkable that the fire should first be
seen upon the roof, and twenty minutes
after be found blazing upon the first
floor, while the intermediate floors were
untouched. A barrel of oil was stand
ing in the lower room, having been
placed there as the safest possible place,
no fire being used in that
part of the building. The flames
blazed all arouud this barrel and the
heading was charred to the depth of
unalter Of an inch. It is fearful to con-
template the possible consequences OF
an explosion that came so near occur
ring. Messrs. Lewis & Woodmansee, the
Grant House proprietors, are unable as
yet to accurately estimate their loss.
But as some seventeen rooms were more
or less injured and as the roof of the
Kramer building is almost all gone,
the damage must be considerable. We
understand that there is ample in
surance.
