assume for the cost Of preparing those
asst onishing ''cofin" advertisements and
posters that figured in the columns of some
of our contemporaries and upon all the fences
and blank walls throughout the city, with
view of dem Dnstrating the terrible conse-
quences that must follow if the public build
ings were placed at the intersection of Broad
and Market streets. Say that $4,000 we're
expended in advertising the merits of Wash
ington Square in the columns of those news
papers which advocated the selection of that
site in their editorial columns, and that at
least $1O,O 900 we're needed to cause the dis
appearance of some of the Washington
Square tickets on the day previous to the
election, SO that capital could be made
of the occurrence, and to secure the enfold-
ing of the same in the regular Democratic
tickets, so that the rank and file of the Demo
cracy would imagine Washington Square to
be one of the regular candidates of the party,
and vote for it accordingly. This calculation
leaves $4,000 still unaccounted for, and the
best advice we can give the anxious seeker
for knowledge who addresses us is to inquire
of the Press, Bulletin, or Ledger, any of
which papers will probably be able to give
him more precise information than he can
obtain in the neighborhood of Third and
Chestnut streets.

single glance at these figures shows the
exact extent of the loss sustained by the Re-
publican party-one member from Indiana
four from North Carolina and five from
Pennsylvania, making totalIoss of ten. At
the close of the last session there were two
vacancies in the North Carolina delegation
one of which has since been filled by the
election of a Democrat to succeed Republi-
can, giving the Democracy two members for
the remaining session of the Forty-frst Con-
gress. Mississippi was without representa-
tion in the Fortieth Congress, but has elected
a unanimously Republican delegation to the
remainder of the Forty first and to the Forty
second Congress. In the nine. States, exclud-
ing Mississippi, the Republican strength in
the Fortieth Congress was cut down from G5
to 60 in the Forty.frst, so that the entire
loss sustained since the exit of Andrew
johnson, during whose term of Office two
thirds majority in the House was SO conve-
nient and necessary, amounts to fifteen
members.
And now for the rest of the States in which
the Congressional elections are yet to be
held. A full House consists of 243 members
and 80 have already been elected Of the
161 yet to be chosen, the Republicans have a
prospect of carrying 1O2 and the Democrats
80, which would make the complexion of the
next House 157 Republicans to sc Democrats,
q Republican majority of II, considerably
less than two-thirds, and therefore too small
for mischief, but sufficiently large to enable
the Republican party to maintain undisputed
control of the policy of the nation. The
Democrats, however, expect to do better than
we have allowed in the States yet to elect, but
it is not within the range of probability that
they should carry more than fifteen of the
districts which we are now disposed to claim
for the Republicans. Granting them this ex-
trene margin, and the complexion of the
next House will stand 142 Republicans to 1O1
Democrats, clear majority of Al, which is
practically as good as anything short of
round two-thirds' maj jority. The great danger,
and, indeed, the only danger, is that the
Democratic side of the next House, when re-
inforced by the free-traae Republicans of the
West, will be able to make mischief with the
tariff, although the present constitution of
the Senate guarantees us against any positive
legislation inimical to the true interests of
the country.

PENNsYLvANIANs should carefully note the
fact that the New York World claims that the
Democratic candidates for Congress in this
State who carried doubtful districts were
elected as champions of free trade. 1t insists
that a well-defned issue was made on this
subject, and is jubilant over the idea that the
Democracy of the Common nwealth are ready
to sacrifice its interests on the altar of their
party. The astute Pennsylvania leaders of
that organization understand perfectly we'll
the folly and falsity of these allegations. They
know that in vote between free trade and
protection, pure and simple, our citizens
would decide almost unanimously for self
preservation, and for the continuance of the
diversified industries upon which a large pro-
portion of our entire population depend for
support But as the organs of British in
terests are claiming the votes of newly
elected Democratic Congressman, the
people ought to know as speedily as possible
what action on the tariff they are to expect
from the Pennsylvania Democracy. If the
World is correct in its Statements the Con-
gressional gains of which it boasts so loudly
may lead to terrible pecuniary losses on the
part of the men who voted for the alleged
free traders.

WHAT HAS BEEN LOST.

TEN States thus far-those named below
have held their elections for members of the
Forty second Congress. South Carolina,
which held an election on Wednesday, makes
the eleventh State but the result will not be
known for some days yet. With the excep-
tion of one district in Pennsylvania, the re-
turns are sufficiently definite from these
States to enable us to summarize the result.
The doubtful district (Cessnas) we concede
for the present to the Democracy, to give
our calculations the worst possible aspect.
In the following table is given the political
standing of the delegations from these ten
States in the last and present Congress, and

from being used OF fires, or may restrict the
running of engines into districts, and pro-
vide for the uniforming and organization of
the department. The bill also provides that
the commissioners shall receive the sum of
$500 each per annum as compensation for
their services. This appears to be q very
good plan, although we are not prepared to
ssy it is the best that could be proposed; and
before entering into discussion of the de-
tails of the organization of paid Fire Depart
ment, we prefer to see what report the Joint
special committee of Councils will make on
the subject.
An evidence of the necessity for radical
change in the present system of extinguish-
ing fires and the necessity for the establish
ment of Fire Department that will be under
the control of responsible officers, was
afforded yesterday in the communications re-
ferring to the incendiary fires of the nights
of October 8 and 8, from Chief Engineer
Downey and Fire Marshal Blackburn. Mr..
Downey we believe to be capable, and as
honest as he can be under the present volun-
teer system. With regard to the origin of
these fires he has nothing to say, however,
except that he has no doubt they we're caused
Chief Engineer does not profess to know,
although the probabilities are that he could
have obtained some clue to them if he had
been less fearful of giving offense to men,
bers of certain fire companies than he was of
doing his whole duty without fear, favor, or
partiality. Fire Marshal Blackburn, on the
other hand, after a detailed account of the
various circumstances connected with these
fires. has no doubt that both of the fires were
kindled by members or adherents of fire COM
papies, and that the second grew out
of the disturbances at the first. In
conclusion DIR. Blackburn says, Outrageous
acts, such as these, which, during the last three
months, regret to say, have been of alarm
ing frequency, are disgracing the Fire De-
partment, injuring the character of our city,
and fear will drive from us insurance capi
tai that we cannot afford to lose." Of the
truth of this there can be no doubt, and the
only remedy is in the establishment of paid
Fire Department that will be beyond the reach
of the demoralizing influences that have rem
| dered the volunteer system worthless.

THE WASHINGTON SQUARE FUND.
A CORRESPONDENT in search of valuable in
formation sends us the following communi-
cation, which we regret that we are unable to
answer as definitely as might be wished, and
we therefore lay it before the public with the
hope that it may elicit reply from those
who are better posted than we are:-

Although we cannot give Zone of our
Subscribers" any exact information with re-
gard to the disposition of this fund, as we
were not taken into the counsels of those
who advocated placing the public buildings
upon Washington Square, we may perhaps be
able to make pretty close guess. If $50, 900
were subscribed to procure the location of
the public buildings upon Washington Square,
one-half of that amount, or $30000, might
easily have been expended at Harrisburg for
the purpose of opening the eyes of our i'm
maculate legislators to the advantages of the
Washington Square site, without producing
any very decided impression upon them.
Presuming, however, that this was the sum
invested in legislation, $1,000 would
not be too large figure to

TIE PAIB FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE PAIb FIRE EPARTMENT.
ANOTHER move in the direction of paid Fire
department was made yesterday by the con-
currenee of Common Council in the resolH-
ton adopted last week by the Select branch
for the appointment of committee to in
quire into the system adopted in other cities
for the extinguishment of fires and other
matters of detail that it is necessary should
be known if the proposed changes in our own
department are to be made in a proper
manner, and by the introduction of an
ordinance by Mr.. Sellers providing for
the appointment of board of six commits
sioners, to be elected by a joint convention
of Councils, who shall have full authority in
all matters pertaining to the management of
the Fire Department. The ordinance pro-
vides that two of the commissioners shall
serve for three years, two for two years, and
two for one year; that they shall have power
to purchase sufficient fire apparatus and to
employ suitable force of firemen, engineers,
drivers, and telegraph operators; that they
shall assume charge of the departments of
Fire Marshal and Chief Engineer,
and that they shall elect one person
to serve as chief engineer and one person as
inspector of machines; that they shall have
the right to purchase, rent, or lease any real
estate they may deem requisites that they
shall have the power to prevent any other fire
apparatus than that governed by the board

From the Spectator.
THE SPANISH TRAGEDY.

The news that the Duke the Montpen-
sier had slain his cousin, Henry Of Bour-
bon, in a duel at AIcorcon sent up Span
iSh funds in Madrid rather more han one
per cent. Astute spectators in that ca
pital have long since decided that the
Duke is of all candidates for the Throne
the one most likely to prove a good house
wife to the Treasury, and they are well
aware that one serious obstacle to his
election is a vague impression current
among SpaniardS that he is wanting in
personal courage. This, it was felt, would
be disslpated by the circumstances of the
duel, and consequently his chance of the
Throne improved, and consequently the
funds rose,-a curiousIy cynical revelation
of ike depth of religious feeling in Spain.
Nevertheless, we doubt if the Duke has
increased his favour either with his own
caste or with sensible politicians by chal-
longing his cousin. He has, in the first
place, helped to break down one of the
very few remaining barriers against the
spread of duelIiDg on the Continent. The
law is powerless everywhere against this
form of crime, neither the Catholic nor
the Protestant faiths have on this point
the smallest influence on their most fer

nity of its West India naval station, could
compensate for the loss OF our free port.
But such was the pressure brought to
bear upon US by the Royal Proclamation
of 25th October 1867, and by a Fictitious
enthusiasm worked up on the occasion
and mostly due TO the excitement pro-
duced by the novelty of the idea, that we
took a leap in the dark, and committed
ourselves TO the American people. For
more than two years have we been kept
in a cruel state Of suspense, which has
had a most Injurious effect on the island,
and during which it has, as it were, re-
NAMED stationery, doing nothing but
waiting for the change that was to work
wonders in it's behalf. Those two painful
years may be said to represent a retro
grade movement of four years, and an
incaIculable loss to The whole community.
If ever there was a question for damages,
surely this is one, and we only require a
Sumner to make on estimate OF the amount
of our claim.
OF course the matter had not been finally
decFEed, for the latest adyiCes merely slate
that the Senate Committee had decided 10
report adversely on the Treaty, and there
fore it cannot be said hat the last Blue
hope is entirely lost until the Senate has
itself rejected the Treaty; but although
there is scarcely anything that that body
might not do, yet it is most probable that
it will act in conformity with the report
of the Committee, and, according to the
Herald" we will speedily receive our
death blow" 1t is just possible that
the 'tHeraId" mistakes here, as it does in
other matters, and that what it considers
our death blow may be, in fact, our sal
Walton, and the means of aVerting our
commercial ruin. Nevertheless, accord
ing TO the ''New York Times" it places
us in a false position for after His Ma
iesty has taken a sad and afIeCtiOnate
leave ofus, his loyal subjects, and piousIy
commended us to God; and after we have
unreservedly declared our preference for
the United States rule, We are forced to
return to all that we declared we wish TO
leave; and that with such grace as We
NAV be able to summon for the occasion.
OF course we are not blind to the fact
that Denmark is equally placed in a false
position, and with the further aggravatlOn
attending it, hat it is not one OF her
seeking, but has been forced upon her by
the United States, whilst they, on their
part, are utterly Indifferent on the subject
and careless of the consequences. Had
the island been a Russian Iceberg being
the property of their imaginary ally, they
would not venture to offend her; but the
case is different, and of course The result
is also different. There is q code of hOnor
for the strong and another for the weak.
