Fred. Douglass, Jr has left the
Government Printing Office and
secured place in the Office .oi
Register Of Deeds in Washington,
in reply to an earnest appeal for q
position, whereupon the Tribune
says:
1.-The manly letters Of the young
son Of Frederick Douglass is a
singing comment on the action Of
tho Western Association that sue
decided (but temporarily, as we
hope, in preventing him from
earning an honest living in
Washington at his trade"
Why don't the Tribune sometimes
prove its faith by it's works, by put
ting young Douglass and others like
him into its Office, where it is sup
posed to be master of the ton?
This constant Iitc hing into other
people for that kind Of charity which
is never seen in practice or at home
at least. has not q very just, prac-
teal or manly look. Moral
though it Is easier to teach and
preach than to practice, take care
and never assail other men for your
own vices and errors

FIRs.-The residence Of J. F

F1Rs.-The residence Of J. F.
Webster came near being destroyed
BY fire on Wednesday evening
The FIRE was discovered in = closet
in the upper story where 1t had
made considerable Roadway, and
was, with no little difficulty sub
dued. How it originated is =
mystery, rs there had been no one
to the room with Ere, and it had no
connection with the chimney. A
large amount Of clothing was in the
room, together with = lot of bed
ding, nearly all of which was des-
troyed or saved in = badly damaged
condition. We understand that
the loss is fully covered by insur-
ance. This barely averted calam-
ity induces . renewal Of our sug-
gestion Of last week, that immedi-
ate steps be taken to provide our
city against the damages of gene
raj. confagration. Parties fully
posted assto the cost of supplying
the city with an abundance of wa
ter for such an emergency, assure
us that its cost would be only about
81, 500, and in addition to the
means Of extinguishing FIRE, would
supply nearly every house with an
abundaneetof' water for all purposes.
This is less than the value of such
a house as that Of Mr. Webster's,
to say nothing Of a confagration in
the business part of the city, and
its consequent destruction Of proper
ty. Which is best, to be taxed to
save our town, or save taxation,
and lose eli our: property!

the Tribune by copying our leading
editorials every day but is it consist

act chow that Mr. Young, though

Reconstruction.

Texas is doomed to be without
civil government till November, il
not longer. Maj. Moore, Of the
San Antonio Express, assures the
President that it will be folly to ex-
pect the republican party to gain a
victory, in case an election is
ordered in Texas Immediately, and
urges delay; and the President
states that there would be no elect
ion in Texas before November, in
any event. Major Moore, we are
told, was an AdJutant of Gen.
Shcridan's Department of the Gulf.
in 1865, and was listened to by the
President with much interest. Of
course, Gen. Shcridan's military
adjutant is heard before the people
Of Texas, and no carly election can
be held in Texas. because, other
wise, lit would be folly to expect
the republican party to gain q
victory !" Here is free govern
mcnt tor you-hrst, to turn the
people afresh over to . military
power, after over four years Of
peace; and, secondly, to deny them
any election until it can, by mill
taro means and appliance, be mani
pulated in favor Of the Admins
tration.
Virginia continues much excited
over the Presidents refusal to per-
NIT a separate vote on one Of the
most obnoxious aud costly clauses
of the proposed Constitution, though
knowing very we'll that all the ne
groes Of the State will be permitted
to vote upon it. To what end did
Gen. Grant propose to have peace
among the people, if he meant to do
what he could to keep them more
and moro alienatel? =. --..

lied to him about the Spanish mis-.

it was impossible that the charge
should be true.

be subserved by protection? She
has = soil Of unsurpassed fertility,
and . climate most favorable for
the display Of PHYSICAL energy. OF
tho vast area included in the eight
Northwestern States, less than one
fifth has been subdued and brought
under cultivation. On the other
four-fifths the sod has not been dis
turbed, and awaits the arrival Of
the hard-isted immigrant. Here is
room for one hundred millions of
the human family, and, within the
memory Of living men, twelve mil
lions have found homes. From the
absence of materials for construc-
ton, it is necessary. that railroads
and settlement should advance with
equal pace. Is it necessary for our
development that VIC should pay two
prices for our railroad iron. and that
the iron should be furnished exclu-
sivcly by America, that is to say
by Pennsylvania mills Was this
bribe necessary to secure the assent
Of that State before she would &C
cede to the union. by an iron girdle,
Of the Pacific slope and the Missis-
sippi Valley :?
Now as to the gist of the thing.
Let him select from the price. cur
rent Of Chicago and Liverpool, on
any given day in tho year, the re-
lativc price Of wheat one of our
most prominent articles of export,
and Of railroad iron. one Of our
most prominent articles Of import,
and he will find that the Liverpool
price Of wheat is the Chicago price.
with the cost Of transportation add.
ed; and the Chicago price of rail
road iron 10 the Liverpool price,
with about 100 per cent added. So
that the results that, by the oper-
alton of this system called protec-
tion. tho Western farmer is forced
to sell in : market where he encount-
ers the competition of tho whole
werld, and buy in market where
he pays two prices-exchanging, in
fact. dollars worth of wheat for
fifty cents worth Of iron.
Such il the surface condition of
our soil, that very many Of the pro.
cesses Of agriculture can be perform
ed by labor saving machinery. In
no region Of the world can the &C.
real crops be raised 90 cheaply.-
Lands intersocted by railroads, and
accessible to stations, can be pur-
chased at about the annual rental
of the best agricultural lands Of
England and Scotland. The great
est boon that the government can.
confer upon the West is to let her
alone--to adopt such Z commercial
policy Is shall permit her products
to seek tho markets Of the world
encountered with Is few restrictions
as possible. and bring back in ex-
change such articles as she requires
for consumption. charged with such
duties only as are necessary for rev.
enue. The effect Of the protective
system is the same, whether the du-
ties be exacted on the outgoing or
the returning cargo. It attaches to
everything the farmer buys-to tho
hoe AID plough with which he stirs
the soil, to the woolens and cottons
with which lie clothes himself and
family. and to every bushel of corn
which he sends to market. From
