PRINCE NAPOLEON.

A EUROPEAN arrival yesterday brought rs "A
letter from the private secretary of Prince
Napoleon, in which the insinuation that the lat
ter was in any way associated with the Imperial
government of his august and astute cousin
was almost Indignantly denied. At the same
time came also cable telegram from Madrid
which announced that General Prim and
Senior Olozaga would support the claims of
the Prince to the vacant throne of Spain
Prince Napoleon has at various times since
the commencement of the Spanish revolution
been named in connection with the succession
to Isabella II, but hitherto his name has not
been prominently associated with the position,
and even now we have nothing but the merest
rumor upon the subject. But one thing is
very certain, and that is that the Spaniards
might do great deal worse than fix upon the
first cousin of the French Emperor for their
sovereign, if sovereign they must have. For
years past the relations between the two cou-
sins have been anything but cordial. The
Prince is professedly democrat in opinion,
and has frequently gone so far in the express
sion of his opinions as to cause great deal of
anxiety to his Imperial cousin. If he were
elevated to the throne of Spain, it is possible
that all these heart-burnings might cease, and
that they might join hands in the task of still
further securing the fortunes of the house to
which they both belong. But the chances are
quite the reverse of this, and the liberal
policy which Prince Napoleon, as King of
Spain, might adopt, would tend directly to
weaken both the pretensions and the popu-
larity of Louis Napoleon. Whether entirely
reliable or not, the rumor that the Prince has
secured two such formidable advocates as
Prim and Olozaga, taken in connection with
the recent letter of the Captain-G General of
Madrid proclaiming the revolution thus far
failure, and insisting upon the immediate
RL0ies VI king, is quite significant.

Now AND THEN.--ln the summer of 1867.
General Rosecrans was invited to attend a
Republican ratification meeting at San Fran
cisco, but being unable to do so, he wrote
letter instead in which occurs this passage:-
''If could would say to those brave men who
they fought on, cast your lot with the Union men OF
this nation, who opposed and fought you-trust
them. Let not few extremists, excited by vague
or unfounded apprehensods by personal interest or
ambition prevent you from meeting the great body
OF the National Union men represented by Congress-
and closing forever the agitation about reconstruc-
ton. 1t is obvious that there should be no
Waverng IN their support OF the general policy OF
Congress, however its details may or may not re-
quire modification. No representative ought TO be
elected to Congress on platforms OF open or covert
opposition to measures wherein hnality is more i'm
portant than detail"
A year later, however, this same Rosecrans
took ''his heart in his hand and journeyed
down to the White Sulphur Springs of Vir-
ginia, to relieve himself of burden of ''solici-
tude" by consulting with "a body of brave,
energetic, and sef-sacrifcing men" against
whom he had contended on manya well-fought
field, under the belief at the time that they
were traitors to their native land, to devise
ways and means to prevent Congress from
drifting MS towards consolidation" And now
this self-same Rosecrans is the Democratic
candidate for the governorshlp OF Ohio.
Having taken the first step at the White
Sulphur Springs, he goes down hill at a
rattGpg pace.

THE New York Sun. which is just now at
tempting to shed a great deal of light upon
the interior of President Grants Cabinet, has
discovered that Senator Cole, of California,
left New York privately a week or so ago,
bound for San Domingo on a special mission,
by authority of the administration. to Presi-
dent Baez, which has for its ultimate object
1.-THE admission of The Dominican Republic as
one of the United States. If Senator Cole
should succeed in persuading the DOminieans
to put aside their well-known hostility to the
United States and consent to annexation, it
will be well for him to protract his diplomatic
visit long enough to induce them to give up
their disagreeable habit of cutting each others
throats, or of attempting to do so. With
their present sportive everyday habits, the
Dominicans would make anything but de-
sirable citizens of the United States,

are so is in reality very limited. Admitting
that a building is all that could be desired
in its construction, the introduction of boiler
for any purpose whatever exposes it to a
new risk; and, as in the case of the disaster
last night, it practically renders the pre-
cautions taken in erecting the structure of
none effect. In commenting upon a great
conhagration like that of last night it is inn
possible not to express regret at the valuable
property destroyed in a few hours; and while
regrets will not avail to recover the loss, the
occurrence itself may teach a valuable lesson
that will do much to prevent a similar disaster
in the future if it is properly needed
Since writing the above, we have been in
formed that the building was constructed
much as we had supposed. The doors and
roof we're covered with iron, but the floors
stairways, and other portions of the interior
were of wood. In fact, with the exceptions
named, it was nothing more than an ordinarily
well constructed brick building. II will be
readily seen that it had no claim whatever to
be considered as tire-proof, and yet it was
what is commonly considered a fre-proof
building and owners of valuable goods
allowed them to be stored there in full conf
dence of their security Comment is almost
unnecessary under the circumstances, but
the facts being known, the conhagratiou car
ries its own moral with it.

TILE ELRE LIST -NTGHT

ONE of the most destructive conhagrations
that has ever occurred in this city broke out
last evening about o'clock, and after burn
ing fercely all night, it is still not entirely
extinguished The scene of this great disas-
ter-by which it is estimated that over seven
million dollars worth of property was des-
troyed-was the bonded warehouses of Will
liam G. Patterson IL Co., at Front and Lom-
bard streets. 1t is estimated that there were
about 25,OOO barrels of whisky stored in
the building, which made it almost impossible
to get the flames under control. The firemen
labored with heroic energy all night, but
their best exertions were only able to restrain
the fire within certain bounds, and to prevent
a total destruction of the property for squares
around
The cause of the fire is now being investi-
gated, but it is surmised that it was due
either to an explosion Of the steam boiler in
the basement, or else to the falling of por-
ton of the building from the immense weight
of the whisky stored in it, and the consequent
running of the spirits into the furnace
Whatever the occasion of the fire may have
been, the moral of the disaster is plain and

proof buildings that are erected in this city.
This warehouse professed to be fre-proof,
and on this supposition an immense amount
of valuable property was contded to it in
perfect confidence 1t is true that the igni-
ton of the whisky might be due to
causes entirely Independent of the tire-proof
character of the warehouse and guch a uuan-
tity of spirits once ignited could scarcely fail
to create great havoc. If the structure, how
ever, was really tire-proof, it ought to have
been possible to prevent the fire from spread
ing from one section to another, and to have
kept it under control. Even supposing the
building was all it professed to be, the secu-
rity that was implied in its construction was
set at naught by the fact that there was a
steam boiler in the cellar This boiler was
| liable at any time to explode, and it is moi
improbable that it did explode, throwing
down the ire-proof walls and scattering the
liquid fire in all directions.
Now, the question comes up, how many
of the so-called fire-proof buildings in this
city are really what they profess to be? Are
any of them constructed solely of stone
brick, iron, and cement, from the bottom OF
the cellar to the apex of the roof or are they
merely strengthened here and there with iron
girders and sheet-iron platings to the doors
while the floors, windows frames, stairways
furniture, ETC., are of wood? That a genu-
inc fire-proof building can be constructed

of Nuevitas, when they espied party

were nearly twenty to one, but that merely
suffced to arouse their Spanish pride and to
excite their Spanish courage. They forthwith
fell upon the rebels, shifting them hip and

forty of them, almost man for man, dispersed
the remaining seven hundred and sixty, and
carried from the field thirteen of their own

medieval, or modern history that we re-

swarthy Spaniards is to be found in Holy
Writ. On one occasion Samson encountered
large party of Philistines, who began at

Samson had not been judge in Israeli he

A PURGING AND PURIFYING OpERATIoN.-A
number of enthusiastic Republicans of New
York city are attempting to purge and
purify the party in that Locality by getting
up a third distinct Republican organization,
in addition to the two already in existence, in
the expectation, of course, of ultimately de-
molishing or absorbing the two old-time rival
organizations. But the reformers are not
suffered to engage in this laudable under
taking without encountering share of the
persecution which besets the path of every
reformer Some ingenious politician who
does not desire to be ''purged and purified"
contrived to have them shut out of the hall
for the use of which they had been so simple
minded as to tender the cash in advance, and
the reformers, or more properly speaking the
political burgers and purifiers, were obliged
to coop themselves up the other evening in
an apartment over the way, which was only
about half large enough to hold their virtuous
corporalities. They weathered it through,
however, and the fact that they did so, and
adjourned only to meet at a more convenient
season and in more commodious quarters.
shows that the leaven of reform has begun to
work in them in thorough earnestness. The
whole movement is likely to end in froth but
it is to be hoped that the upshot of it may be
otherwise.
