THE GREAT FIRE IN CoNsTANTINoPLE was,
as we are assured by the accounts just to hand
by mail, fed in force and rendered almost ire
sistible at the first by flow of petroleum from
the stores in which this article was kept for
sale. The Liquid flames" carried destruction
to the adjoining houses. Many Of those who
lost their lives during the disaster were, it is
alleged, either instantly killed or MORALLY
burned by explosions of the tin cases in which
the fluid was kept. Very dangerous and very
sad

THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS IoNAL MANI
FEsTo.-lf the recently published address of
the democratic Congressman is to be taken as
the first grand pronunciamento of the cam
paign, the initiative shot into the enemys camp,
it may as well be said to have fallen stillborn,
or, like the fuse Of damp powder, fzzled out
before it attracted attention. 1t would not fill
worthily place in the political column of a
country democratic newspaper, and that
seems to be the way in which that class of
Journals are treating the document.

Mr.. BERens SouETY-EvDsNoE OF ITs
UsEFULNEss.-If evidence of the usefulness of
Mr.. Bergh's society for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals were wanting it could be
ascertained from statistics showing the num-
Der of horses killed in this city during the late
extraordinary heated term, as compared with
the number perishing in previous hot seasons.
So far as our observation has extended this
year we have failed to have seen the. corpus of
defunct equine lying in the streets in any
part of the city, whereas formerly such sight
was by no means uncommon. The poor omni-
bus and city car horses have, therefore, much

disgusting presence Of dead carcasses broilini

WALL STREET is very dull, as might natu-

fered the clears to go on with the perform

solatory figure to every patriot who wishes to

THE WATER SUPPLY is said to be running
short in Brooklyn, notwithstanding the fact
that the Excise law is almost nullity. 1t
may be that the milkmen are encroaching too
heavily on the hydrants.

ANOTHER EMINENT CITIZEN GoNE.-In the
death of Francis B. Cutting the city of New
York loses another of her distinguished citi-
zens; for Mr.. Cutting in the profession of the
law and in the party politics of his day was
greatly distinguished. AS ''war democrat
his position during our late Southern rebellion
was that of man whose patriotism is not tied
down by party precepts or party lines in a
great crisis. His public record is good, his
private life was such that he is universally
regretted He leaves behind him good
name, aud in his Industrious and honorable life
an example which may be probably followed
by our young men ambitious of fortune or
distinction,

COMPELLED TO By INDEPENDENT, Canada
at last fairly looks independence in the face.
Why? Because England has given her notice
to leave Because it is evident that the next
thing England will do will be to kick her out.
How strange is comparison of the history of
that of the colonies which from helpless inanity
held by the imperial government till the impe-
rial governmentwas more than tired of the con-
nection. In fact, all that an imperial govern
ment like that of Great Britain wants of colo
MES is to bleed them, and Canada is very poor
bleeding. The countries to the north of us are
naturally rich enough, but to develop their re-
sources there must be the spirit, enterprise and
energy that never exist in colonies, that is
found only where the people are free, and
where some sense of national spirit is felt in
the whole mass of the populace. Colonies did
well enough as promoters of trade, emigration
and settlement in the slower ages, and may do
well enough now in the remote regions of the
earth; but not next door to the great republic
and 10 the full dazzle of all that is most pro-
gressiva in the spirit of the time.
SUNDAY RUM-WoRsE THAN EvER-Our
Monday murder chronicle was even fuller
and more terrible than usual. The deliberate
murder of the German Michel by half grown
ruffian of the Jack Reynolds species was the
most atrocious case. It began in quarrel in
rum shop, and the cool malice Of the MUIR
derer held him to his purpose while he watch
fully followed his victim for several squares
and until the victim was sent on his way in
apparent safety by policeman whose protec-
ton he had sought. Then the murderer crept
up and stabbed his victim fatally. Beside this
there were several desperate ARRAYS, from one
of which we may certainly count upon one
death. Excepting only one case all these
murders are direct consequence Of opening
the rum shops on Sunday, which is itself
violation of the law, and for every one of
these rum butcheries the delinquent ministers
of the law are morally responsible.
WALL STREET is very dull, as might natu-
rally have been expected as sequence Of the

fered the ''bears" to 60 on with the perform

HLet Up,O

Bills to repeal the Test Oaths for
Lawyers and Teachers were reported in
the House from the Judiciary Commit
tee yesterday aud read the first time.
From what we learn there can be no
doubt of their passage at an early day.
Ia spite of many efforts made to pro-
duce q contrary impression, we have
hope that this Legislature will do much
to meet the pressing demand Of the peo-
pie for q general removal of disabili-
ties.
In few days, it is believed, the
whole subject of prescription in one
shape or another will be presented for
the consideration of our lawmakers.
The feeling is general that the dis
abling policy of our State has lived its
day. The passions of war times
have died out. Neighbors have
ceased to hate, to revile and to
perseoute each other. Common interests
aud common destiny are uniting the
people who were divided by the rebel
lion. A union of all for the maintenance
of public prosperity, for developing the
resources of the State and for building
her up in that material greatness of
which she is capable, is the demand of
the hour. Nothing stands in the way
of complete peace and unlimited pro-
gress but the inequalities amoug citi-
izens which our proscriptive laws per-
petuate. Instead of making men con-
tented and therefore active and useful,
they produce discomfort and
foster emigration. We have no popula-
tion to lose. Past faults do not pre-
vent the dsfranchised men of West
Virginia from becoming valuable ard
welcome additions to the population of
other States. If other States need them,
so do we. West Virginia wants the
cheerful support and active fidelity Of
every one of her citizens. These she
can gain by making them in form and
in fact free men, by removing all these
legal determinations which preserve a
sort of political vassalsge in the midst
of Republican institutions.
Contrary as our disabling laws are to
the spirit of our Government, needless
ss they are among people of whom
Governor STEVENSON testifies that "the
people Of no State are better disposed
or more law-abiding than they" the day
of their total abolition must speedily
come. That is the firm and unalterable
determination Of the voting masses.
Each day but confirms and strengthens
lit. If this Legislature were to fail of
duty in that direction, q supposition
we cannot entertain, another and new
one would certainly and swiftly accom-
plish the task. We do not believe that
the members of the present body will
set themselves against this swelling
tide of public opinion. We prefer to
think that they will prove equal to the
duty of the hour, and that when their
work is finished the universal plaudit
will be theirs, "Well done good and

question of a general removal of politi.

the discussion was quite favorable. 1t
