NOW FOR WORK.

The reorganization Of the House Of
Representatives, by the election Of new
Speaker. and the changes Of the most
important Committees, having been salts
f.ctorily effected, We may now reasonably
expect that the members will turn their
attention to some of the most important
measures which are demanding their
consideration. We are not of that class
who regard the time spent by the House
in purging itself, as wasted or unproft-
ably spent. We think the members were
well and usefully employed in this manner
and to this extent And we highly COM
mend the men who threw themselves
forward and led the assault which has
81 completely oyerthrown and discounted
one of the most demoralizing combina-
tons which could disgrace Legislature
or q party. Gentlemen you have done
well, You have acted nobly, and your
conduct while It will rebound to your
credit and to the advancement of the
true and permanent interests of your con-
sti uents, and of tae State, will also teach
:. valuable lesson to those who prided
themselves on their ability by shook or
by crook" to lead you "whithersoever you
would not" .1uI lr4A ,.5Iua ID
You have demonstrated that you can
burst your bonds asunder, and free your
selves from the trammels of mere party
haakism; You have vindicated the doc
tripe that forbearance has its limits; you
have risen superior to imercenary or

crqshed out that monstroGty ruling
minority, and You ore properly in the
ascendant Your victory is complete.
Turn your intention to other business

JAMAICA NAVAL STATION. Kingston and
Port Royal, Jamaica, have been designat-
ed as a first class Naval station in the
West India. This announcement made i'm
mediatly upon the departure Of the
U. s. San Domingo Commission is sug-
gestive. Great Britain does not mean to
be superseded by this Government in the
possession and control of the water OF
the Gulf and the Caribbean sea. The
"North American and West India Squad
ron" has had it's headquarters at Halifax
with Jamaica as the port Of rendezvous
for the West India squadron. Either q
new squadron is to be detailed to watch
our movements in the Antilles, or the
Admiral has been directed to exchange
Halifax for Kingston. This movement

We are in hearty sympathy with the

that a gentleman-by which is meant a man
OF henoris par excellence qualified to represent the
position of railroad PRESIDENT and that the corpora
ton which is thus governed becomes divested OF its
Questionable features to the community, and in
being unincumbered with the private interests OF
Officers, directors, and employees, assumes its true
character OF an improved highway, securing to
its owners their Dues guaranteeing to its patrons
their rights, and becoming powerful auxiliary to
the Industrial progress Of the country.
In his career he has presented an example Of re-
form in their management. which must before long
arouse the attention OF the public to the fact OF how
little good is comparatively derived, and how much
more could be attained under proper guidance Of
these modern instruments OF advancement; indeed,
1t may be said Mr.. Gowen occupies the enviable at
ttude OF model railroad president.
In attesting this much more is meant than the
mere declaration would seem to imply, because ITO
be hoIest as this world goes is to be one man picked
out OF ten thousand"
In fact, a model railroad president must admins
ter not the arbitrary regime OF Napoleon with the
iron conscience OF Nero but he requires he quali-
ties OF unusual precision, rare intelligence, and
marked decision Joined to unfiinchng istegrity pro-
priety, and justice.
In this position (Which is made honorable only
when honorably represented) a mans nature is
tested and developed. The power with which he is
invested and the beguiling allurements with which
he is surrounded, the influence which he wieds
tnrOagh tne money-Dags or the corporation, show
him as he is, undisguised, it may be, as a eudal
tyrant, or Christian gentleman, who in his off,
cial capacity is not unmindful OF moral du les to-
wards his employees and those who are largely de-
pendentupon the use OF the highway under his dl.
rectiOn.
Ia conclusion, 1t must be admitted tina Mr..
Gowen, avoiding the exercise OF arbitrary corporate
authority, has, by modest bearing and by an ad-
minstration of honesty and justice, acquired an
Independent moral power which, In not begetting
enmity, has, like the magnet gathered around it the
support Of the community In evidence OF Its own
strength.
In the practice OF these virtues, this gentleman
exemplies the early teachings Of his venerable and
highly respected father; remembering, also, that
while "it Is excellent to have giants strength
1t is tyrannous to use it like giant"

TO the Editor of The Ecentng Telegraph.
tits hoped you will pardon the writer in occupy
ing your valuable columns with few connrmatory
remarks respecting Franklin b. Gowen, Esq., Presi-
dent OF the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany.
Long since, having become solicitous with refer
ence TO the policies which would seem TO govern the
management OF the railroad corporations OF our
state. much uneasiness was oceasioned on my part,
upon the inauguration OF this gentleman, as to
whether the admirable example OF his predecessor
,Vould be adopted, OF whether he would be hurried
along In the current Of the age and drift into the
errors and abominations which really appear to be-
leaguer the once OF a railroad president
Impelled by this anxiety, the writer has for more
than a wear scrutinized the actions OF Mr. Gowe1
with respect 70 the policies which he has instituted
Tor the OF the interests Of shareholders
and as regards the principles oy which ne mas peel
overned IA his transactions with the patrons OF ths
company over which he presides.

- A BUILDING SAVED BY FIRE ExTINGUIsHER.-
The utility OF fire extingushers is daily becoming
more apparent, ana at no distant day they will be
regarded as essential in every well,ordered house.
or their real value In the event OF fire, frem any
cause, we have case in point. During the thun-
der storm OF Wednesday evening last, the Chester
Dock Mills, in chester, Pa, owned by Messrs. Lewis
& Parker, were struck by lightning. The building
was set on fire, which the watchman attempted to
extngu sh, but not succeeding he blew the whistle
OF the factory This attracted the attention OF
of the employees, among whom was John ClOugh,
who fastened to the mill, and procured one OF the
Union fire extinguishers belonging to the firm, by
the aid Of which he put out the fire, and saved the
factory. The damage was but slight Those VINO

ton is worth pound Of cure should obtain OF
