interested. The creation of a paid Fire
Department is not political mea-
sure, and it cannot in any way
be made question OF party
politics, and the Mayor would not have had
even the poor excuse of partisan expeciency
to offer if he had refused to sign the bill.
There were no legal or constitutional objec-
tions to the ordinance passed by Councils,
and no one knew better than the Mayor that
the volunteer system had become an unmiti-
gated nuisance that every consideration of
public interest demanded should be done
away with. He, therefore, in resisting the
pressure brought to bear upon him by the
adherents of the volunteer fire companies,
only did what every good and law-abiding
citizen had right to expect of him. Mayor
Fox, however, is none the less entitled to
great credit in refusing to listen either to the
threats of ruffians, whose actions have done
so much towards making paid Fire Depart
ment necessary, or to the temptations OF
those who promised political support if he
would prove recreant to the duties of his
Office.
If any further arguments than those already
offered were needed to prove the necessity
for the total abolition of the volunteer
Fire Department, the conduct of the
fremen on Saturday night and yesterday
would furnish them in abundance. Incen-
diary fires and dissraceful rioting celebrated
the birth of the new year and the death of
the volunteer Fire Department that has been
the glory and shame of Philadelphia, but
during recent years entirely too much
the latter The occurrences of the
last two days prove the neces-
sity for the complete organization
of the paid Fire Department at as early day
: as possible. The Board of Commissioners
will meet tomorrow, and we sincerely hope
that measures will be adopted for getting the
new system into active operation immedi-
ately, and in the meantime the Mayor and
other officers of the law should exert them
selves to prevent any further exhibitions of
outlawry and to bring to punishment the ring
leaders in the outrages that have already oc-
Cured.

The Fire at MihHin, Pa.
The Town Half Destroyed.
" H g due 10 N.
from WASHINGTON.
The Army RcduotIon Board.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The board of officers
ia session at the War Department aud of which
General Hancock is President, after an informal
meeting on Tuesday, will adjourn sine die. The
board has considered the cases of 90 officers; OF
this number 30 have been permitted to resign
before their eases had been concluded by the
board, and five cases remained uncompleted at
the adjournment for lack of evidence. OF the
63 cases fully considered small majority were
reported upon unfavOrably.
The officers condemned by the board, from
the decision of which, under the law, there is
no appeal, have been Immediately discharged
the service. The other cases, with but few ex-
ceptions, have been ordered to their homes to
await orders. The most important case receiv-
ing an unfav orable report of the board is that
of Colonel John P. Sherburne, Assistant Adju-
tant-General of the War Department.
Colonel Sherburne is the only officer appointed
to the Adjutent Generals Department directly
from the volunteer service. He came to Wash
ington in command of SCOTS Nine Hundred
Cavalry, an organization formed in the State of
New York, and was for q considerable time
during the war member of the staff of General
Martindale, Military Commander of the District
From Washington he went with his regiment
to New Orleans and was there commissioned in
the Adjutant- Generals Department, and he has
also been on duty on the Pacific coast. His
offense is understood to consist of private mis-
demeanors of slight Importance. 1t is under
stood that especially in this case, Congressional
action will be asked to reverse the decision of
the board.
The officers discharged by the board are
treated in every instance as are the officers
whose commissions in the army expire to-day
for want of assignment, and all receive year 5
pay with WHICH to begin civil life. There is,
however, great dissatisfaction expressed regard
ing the action of the board in certain cases,
where friends of politicians have been inter
fered with, and several members and Senators
promise to present bills setting aside the action
of the board in every case, and providing some
other means for reducing the number of officers
in the army.

OBITUARY.
Don Juan PFIu.


A cable despatch announces that Don Juan Prlm,
Count de Reus and Marquis de los Castelejos, died
on Saturday night about IL O'Clock, OF wounds re-
ceiVed On Wednesday night at the hands OF an
assassin. This distinguished man, who has played
such an important part In the history OF SpaiH was
born at Reus on the 9th OF December, 1914 He first
came into notice during the Christina aud CaTlist
wars, and in the ciyi connections that followed the
accession OF Isabella IL to the throne In 1888 he
distinguished himself by his devotion to the cause OF
the Regent. Maria Christina, and In 1887 was pro-
noted to the rank Of colonel In ls41 he was ordered
to be arrested for participating in an nsurrectlOn
at SaTOgossa against the dictatorship OF Espatero;
but he managed to escape to France where he re-
NAMED until 1912, when he was elected deputy TO
the Cortes from Barcelona. He allied himself with
the party Of Christina against Espartero and en-
gagged in a number OF revolutionary broils, until the
fall Of Espartero secured for him at the hands OF the
Regent the title of Count de Reus and the governor
ship off Madrid. Shortly after, a reaction COM
menced at Barcelona In favor OF liberal principles,
and General Prim was chOseA on account OF his
popularity to undertake the task OF pacifying the
malcontents. He found it impossible TO do so, how
ever, without the employment OF force, and he was
consequently denounced by the people as a traitor
He also fel into disfayOr with the Queen, and was
accused Of a conspiracy TO overthrow the Govern
ment and to assassnate NarVaez He was con-
yc'ed OF the former charge, and was sentenced 70
six years Imprisonment At tue end OF six months
he was released, at the solicitation OF his mother

IT is reported that after months of prepa-
ration and postponements the German forces
investing Paris are at last ready to commence
a Ibombardment, on a terrific scale, of the
French capital. A few shells have already
been thrown into the doomed city, and her
inhabitants, after undergoing the manifold
sufferings inseparable from long siege, are
threatened with a feast of still more terrible
horrors. Hopes of rescue and relief through
the aid of the mighty France that once bid
defiance to the world have proved fallacious,
and the most fearful massacre in the history
of the human race is impending. At this
juncture Victor Hugo might call not merely
outcasts and unfortunates, but the whole
population of Paris, Les MiSerabLeS.

IT Is idle for such philanthropists as Mr..
Welsh of this city, to devote their time and
labor to improve the condition of the Indians
while the President appoints such men as
Mr.. Percy B. Spear Gs agents Just when Mr..
Welsh was agitating the country by an egp0Se
of the monstrous frauds practised upon the
Indians by agents, notorious political bum
mer and adventurer is announced as assigned
by the administration to an important agency
While President johnson was trading in his
Offices with Cameron and like political Job
bers, this same Percy B. Spear was announced
as Collector of Revenue for the Chester and
Delaware district-put through by bargain
between johnson and Cameron. The Senate
confirmed him before the fraud was known by
Senators, but as soon as the people of the
district learned of the appointment they pro-
tested as with one voice, and Senator Sher-
man moved a reconsideration of the confr-
nation and thus sent Mr.. Spear into
retirement. Cameron then forced Spear
into the New York Custom House, where his
official record was anything but creditable;
and if he has done aught to commend him to
public favor, there is very general ignorance
of the fact. Now Cameron has doubtless de-
frauded Grant into the appointment of Spear
as an Indian agent, and if he is allowed to
act, and disburse moneys and goods to the
sons of the forest, there will be good times in
spots out in the Indian country. We COM
mend this matter to our philanthropic citizen,
Mr.. Welsh, and suggest that he frankly ad-
wise the President who and what Mr.. Spear
is and he could pro6tably read to Grant
General Hitchcocks famous report of Came
ron's early philanthropic efforts to civilize
the Winnebagoes and teach them how not to
spend their money. Under his financial tut
ton they became the most economical set of
Indians to be found in all out of doors.

To tho Editor Of the Republican.
SIR: l desire to address few words to
the Republicans OF Charleston in the
interest Of peace aud our common good.
The mnnipipM, contest just closed
brought defeat; to ua: ASA party defeat
for which'We'are, Ia; ;gfestS part responsi.
BILE; defeat which ! earnestly and ho-
nestly. together with others, endeavored
to avoid; and, it may not be saying too
much when remark that our very
strength was the source our weakness;
as our action. in far too many instances,
was positive Disgrace to US and bur-
lesque on Republicanism.
Shall We learn an important lesson by
that defeat, porfeot and preserve a better
organization, or shall we confess our
utter inability to do 30, and. therefore,
not only cease to live ns party, but by
our individual actions, such as have oc-
Cured before and after the election, for.
felt our claims upon the community for
decency and self-respeot?
We Adre ourselpes elected General JYa0e.
ner. and we ought to remember this,
and, therefore. if we are wrongly dealt
with by his administration, (which l
honestly believe will not be the case.
the responsibility and the blame will
rest with us.
Now the election is over, ,'let rs oil
leave the street corners, and cease to
abuse this man and that man becapee
he did not, and perhaps felt that he
could not. vote with us, and hope fol
the best from the new administration
which will be composed Of just, honora-
BILE and upright men of both races.
As to the matter of protest, let me say,
and say emphatioally, that. in my
opinion, none will be gotten up. cmA

Supposing the two parties to hold
their ground in the States put down as
Democratic and Republican, the Demo
Gratis would have to draw six votes from
the States set down as doubtful to elect
o President. To carry Connecticut
would accomplish that. New Jersey,
which has generally been Democratic,
and which there is n probability the De-
mocrats will secure, again, would give
one vote more than wanted. Texas
| would secure the election to that party
under the circumstances we have as
sumed. Then there ara the two great
States Of Pennsylvania aud Ohio, which,
to all Appearances, will be debatable
ground. OF course, either OF these,
even without Connecticut, New Jersey
md Texas, would give moro votes than
necessary to elect Democrat In fact
with either Ohio or Pennsylvania the
Democrats could afford to lose two ol
three OF the smaller States set down il
the Demopratic column. as New Hamp.
shire, Florida and Arkansas, and still
have votes to spare. But, supposine
New York, which is now Democratic
throughout, should, through late event,
and mismanagement, be revolutionized
and go for the Republican Presidential
candidate. there would be still Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Connecticut, New Jerse,
and Texas to fall back upon. Pennsyi
vdnia and New Jersey would make u,
for the loss Of New York. Ohio, New
Jersey and Connecticut. even with til,
loss both of New York and Pennsylva
MIA, would give the election to the De
mocrats. if the other States should stans
as placed above" :.
