Rcrrin.'s Safes in the Late Fire

In submitting the following evidences
of the fire protecting quality OF the
Herrings Patent Safes, we do not wish
the public to understand that there Is no
limit to their endurance. nor that every
Herring safe was triumphant in the
recent fire. Some were exposed to
blasts of heat that melted and burnt up
the very iron as if in a pudding fur
mace; some were crushed by the falling
walls and iron gurders; some were
opened imprudently while hot, or
allowed to remain among the ruins,
amid the heated bricks glowing like a
furnace or baking like an oven; but
what we do refer 10, is the great mum.
Der that have preserved their contents,
and saved the property OF their owners.
Unlike all great fires that have pre-
coded it, when the fiery blast swept by,
there was no water to cool the heated
ruins. The walls having mostly fallen
before the material within was con-
sumed, the safes were enclosed in these
burning ovens until they cooled them
selves, before they could be rescued.
In the seven hundred accidental fires
previous TO this, in which the Her
rings Safes" have come out OF the
contest triumphantly, and in the thirty
years Of their manufacture, We think
no record OF theirs is brighter than the
success of SO many of their number, in

IT appears still to be an open ques-
ton out in the Indian Territory, whether
the Fourteenth Amendment applies as
well to the red men as the white. The
Creek Indians still hold the negroes in
bondage, although the amendment al
luded TO was supposed to have abol-
ished slavery in all the States and
Territories of the United States. The
District Attorney of the Western Dis
trict of Arkansas is in a quandary and
has written to Washington for instruc-
tons. OF course, the Constitution is
the supreme law of the land, but the
difficulty is that in our treaty with the
Indians We have recognized them a.
distinct and separate nations, with the
right to manage their domestic affairs
in their own way. TO get entirely rid
of slavery, it may be necessary, there
fore, to abandon the traditional policy
Of the Government in treating with In
dams. So SAYS the New York Post,
but we believe that at the last session
of Congress law was passed iorb!dding
the recognition, 10y any treaty, OF Indians
az distinct na.ionalities.

Railroad.

Spirited meetings have been held at
New Athens, Harrisville, Cadiz and
Wheeling on the subject OF Northwest
railroad. The Hopedale route evidently
has the inside track. While the friends
of other routes have been talking the
friends of the Hopedale route have been
acting-;hey have procured a large
amount OF right Of way, and hundreds
of thousands of stock have been taken.
The Bellaire Independent asks what is
St. Clairsville doing! One year ago
st. Clairsville subscribed near forty
thousand dollars for a northwest road,
but she was not properly seconded oy
any other interest and she could not
build it herself. We presume that
Wheeling with her subscription can
control the route, which Will be known

THB Philadelphia Iyc, in consider
ing the passive policy, as laid down by
MONTGOMERY BLAIR, thinks that his
suggestion OF an immediate retirement
Of the Democratic party from the Pres
idential campaign is an attitude that
that party cannot be placed in until its
National Convention assemblies, except
by tacit understanding and general as
sent, and ito make our position clear
it says, eve will, at once, dissent from
the proposal. We never heard a
new phrase that sounded less accept
ably than this one that implies pas
sivity,' when the best hope of success
les in vigor and action. The Demo
cratic party now represents those prln'
ciples of free civil government that are
the best possession and the dearest
right of every American citizen. That
there will be a rally OF Conserva
tive men to the support of these pr:n
cipes is so clear, that it has raised the
hopes OF all freemen worthy Of the
name, and the fears OF all the conspir'
ators Tor military government.
