CoMBUsTIoN.- -Goldsmiths Hall, on Library
street, below Fifth street, made narrow escape
from destruction by fire about six o'clock this
morning The janitor of the building, on open
ing the front door at the hour above named,
found smoke in the entry way, and an investga-
tion revealed the presence of fire in the fourth
floor, in the apartment occupied by Jacob
H@hnlen, photographer. The flames originated
in q box in which greasy rags had been thrown,
and resulted spontaneously. The box was con-
sumed and the flames were about commuuIcat-
ing TO other portions of the structure when dis
covered. Chief Engineer Downey was sent for,
and with few buckets of water he extinguished
the flames.

The Hon. ~ex-Secrctary and ditto
Senator, likewise Governor, William
II. Seward. has q fondness for public
banquets ; not that he is a gourmand
per Sc, but the fessts afford him oppor-
tunities for making speeches. Mr..
Seward loves oratory, and enjoys the
proud distinction Of having spoken in
more out-of the-way places than any
other living American. Mount st.
Elias has rc-echoed his eloquence,
Mexican ears have drank In his glow
ing words OH their native hacicndas,
while their fingers itched to relieve
him Of his watch and chain. Notwith-
standing his great desire for talking in
public, Mr.. Seward knows what Is due
to an ex-Secretary of State, eX-United
States Senator, Ex-Governor, ETC.,
therefore he has refused the public
dinner rendered him by the Common
Council Of New York. 1t IA very
proper Of him so to do, and in the
name Of our citizens we here thank
him for his action. Talking to Alaska
Indians and blood-thirsty Mexicans is
bad enough, but a line may be drawn
somewhere, and where more tlttingly
than just where it excludes New York
Common Councilmen, for Of all Coun-
cilmen they are indisputably the most
common. They talk of getting Seward
out for Governor Of New York. OF
course, lie will accept.

TEXAS.

All the signs indicate that Texas has
started happily. Able and experienced
Senator's, fearless Representatives and
a conscientious newspaper press, show
that they e to do their best to
ecure a sound and stable and perfectly
free government to Texas. The tone
of the Democratic papers is that of
satisfaction. They seem to be sur
prised that the Republicans should
have commenced operating so sensibly
and tremendously. 1t is on the cards
that the State which a year ago was
the most disturbed Of all the South
should, under wise ruling and a COM
prehensive policy, be n Of the safest
and best restored. For this prospect
the people there are chiefly indebted
to President Grant. His prompt re-
cognition Of the Republican party rs
the best qualified to manage and mas
ter the situation, saved Texas, as it did
Mississippi, from faction and confusion,
and placed it upon the high road Of a
substantial and enduring prosperity.
The Legislature Of Texas is politically
divided as follows Senate-Repub-
licans. IS; Democrats, II. House
Republicans, 50; Democrats, 81. Re-
publican majority on joint ballot, y.
There are two colored men In the
Senate and eight in the House, all
Republicans. The harmony with
which the majority work together is
the II Of the success of all the
great measures essential to the COM
plete social, commercial and political
reconstruction Of the State. The
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments of the National Consti-
tuition were ratified nearly unan
imously In both Houses, most of the
Democrats voting for them with the
Republicans.

CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION.


The Democratic papers are disposed
to be severe upon the Southern Repub
licans implicated in the sale Of cadet
ships, but say nothing about those of
their own party who have been as
deeply involved. If there can be any
excuse for a man betraying q sacred
trust, it may be said Of the Southern
RepublicanAwhat cannot be urged Of
the Democrats-that they had to en-
counter many trials and privations in
standing by doctrines s. offensive to
the heretofore leaders Of politics. But
the case Is II too plain for cNtenua-
ton or defense. The practice las not
been confined TO any party, and is now
discarded by all. There is no capital
to be made out of 1t for either side,
while a wholesome lesson and warning
are administered to both. The crime
Of selling office Is not q modern one.
| We hear of it in Shakespeare, where he
makes Brutus say to his choleric friend:
i" let me tell you, C%sssius, you yourself
Are much condemned to have an itching. palm,
To sell dna mart your Offices for gold
To undescrvers."
And there has not been a succeeding
Government that has not yielded, more
or less, to a custom now for the first
time grappled with by a Republican
Congress. The sacrifice is great, but
the cause is greater. To see mel Of
former fair repute broken on the wheel
Of justice, and compelled to fly one
punishment only to fall under the
chastisement of u merciless remorSe, Is
a spectacle full of sorrow; but the adj
monition is precious. The exposure
kills an excrescence that was eating
into the heart Of the nation. 1t ele-
Yates the standard Of legislation. 1t
directs the people to the necessity OF
sending their best men into representa-
tive places. 1t perpetuates good ex-
amples, and makes the faithful servant
strong to persevere in his fidelity. Let
us hope that it will put an end to the
choice of candidates whose integrity
and capacity are not known and tried
before they are commissioned to deal
with important interests and questions.

Is defined In the following extract /:

and teachings !; but he had his own !
He promulgated them in his Age of
Reason when lie wrote, | believe IN

ence. The key Of heaven Is not in the
keeping of any sect nor ought the road
to be constructed by any. 10 Samuel
Adams, in 1903, he wrote : Il trouble
not myself about the manner OF flu
ture existence. I content myself
with believing even to a positive con-
viction, the power which gave me eX-
istence is able to continue 1t In any,
form and manner He pleases, either
with or without this body and 1t APP
pears more probable to me that l shall
continue to exist hereafter, than that
I should have had existence as ! now

Creator, and that Ho will dispose Of
me after this life consistently with His

THE WIDENING BILL.

Senator Stewart has a bill on the
Senate table, to provide for attaching
to this State o considerable slice from
Idaho Territory. Another bill, we be-
lieye BY the same author, Is for the
transfer of one degree Of Territory
from Utah to Nevada. We like the
picture. The only objection we have
to it from the inside, will be by Car
son. No serious objection need be
made from that quarter. The fact Is
fixed as fate, and sealed-the State
CAPITAL must come to some point East
of the present site. It must be nearer
the center Of the State, within easier
reach of the bulk of the population,
and on the Railroad. Somewhere
from winnemucca to Toano will do.
The Eastern portion Of the State Is
building up, the Western Is decaying.
Here We have thousands Of silver
hedges, fresh, waiting to be opened,
there they have n very thoroughly
opened and its yield declining. Here,
the vast sweep of agricultural lands
Invites a population equal In number
to that of any State in the Old West.
A road will be built from the Toano
to the Colorodo, and a direct road
from Silver City, Idaho, will come
down to the great highway at that
point. Carson may succeed in running
up al Indebtedness of one hundred
thousand dollars for the proposed
State House, but that will not make
the difference of a paper of pins
when Eastern Nevada comes to assert
its demands, u little wooden State
House or n lying-in hospital for Nye's
supernumeraries will not amount to
much in the other scale. We want the
0wyhee people segregated from the
tender-feet and they want to come
over. Then we can stand q few more
Mormons. Those we got three years
ago have been we'll digested, and our
people like them. They bring us but
ter, eggs, potatoes and barley, and are
good to have. We can stand another
degree Of Mormon now, and want to
see Owyhee thrown in. The Railroad
is the grand thoroughfare to which the
Owyhee people look, their news
reaches them that way, and their trade
Hines tend to the road. The people
are silver miners and they want to be
in u State having laws adjusted to such
interests. The placer hunters to the
East and the web-footed pot-hunters to
the North, are not of their kind. The
people of Owyhee are primed and
ready, and ask to be set of, into
Nevada. We hope Senator Stewart
will bring his bill TO a rote.-Whtte
