BRooKLYN's FIRE RECORD.

ConAagrntions During the Year 1S7l-Aunual
Report OF the Fire AInrshal-Losses, Insur-
nnces and Kerosene RnvnRcs.
The Brooklyn Fire Marshal yesterday submitted
his annual report to the Board OF Police Commits
soners Of that CITY, in accordance with tho require.
ments OF the law governing his ONCE. An abstract
OF the document which is rather lengthy, reveals
the following iacGs:-There were 297 fires in Brook
yn during the year 1871, being an increase or
twelve over the number that occurred the preceding
year. 1he Marshal says:-Many OF the res reported
are VI very Little consequence in themselves, except
to show to what extent our citIzens have been ex-
posed TO the dangers OF Are during the year,
and to show also how, promptly these
or the pohce. These small fires also
teach us q lesson wAicn should not be forgotten.
Tney ali occur IRON cause, cunor through careless
ness gross negligence or desgn but generally from
carelessness OF some character. That They have not
resulted In large conlagralions Is due entirely to
the prompilude and efficiency OF the Fire Depart
meni, whose duty 1t Is TO suppress them.
LOSSES AND iNSURANCEs
The losses and insurances so FAR as they could be
obtained from the sworn testimony oil those who
ought TO know most about them, are as follows:-

DIR. Fisher, through whose agency the

Of Fisher on the frivolous charge of
stealing hand bill advertising reward

What Cincinnati has Already
AccOmDIis he'd.
From the n. Y. Tribune (Greelev's pa

From the \. \. Tribune (Greeley's paper
1t is barely four weeks since the Cincin-
natl Convention met. That convention
nominated ticket which bids fair to sweep
the country i'm November, and administer
the government for the next four years.
But whatever may be the fate of the ticket,
the triumph of the convention has already
begun. See the growing roll of its vic
tories
l. Till the Cincinnati Convention met no
entreaties could induce the Administration
majority In Congress TO think of any meas
ure of amnesty and reconciliation for the
South. But already startled by the strength
Cincinnati develops, Congress has hastened
10 accord in a fortnight what for seven
years it has persistently, defiantly, most
needlessly, and wickedly denied. At last
we have amnesty, not generously complete,
but UNNECESSARILY complete.
Till the Cincinnati Convention met it was
generally understood that the President
meant to have the advantage in his canvass
for reelection of the legal power to sus-
pend the habeas corpus and muster the bay
onets to his support. Even after Cincin-
natl the Senate NOW by reason of its Pome-
roys and Caldwells and Conklings, the real
lower House, persisted in renewing the Ku-
kluX bill for his benefit, but the House has
clearly shown its unwillingness TO take
another step in that direction. Cincinnati
has prevented Presidential elections under
martial law in the hands of a Presidential
candidate.
3. Till Cincinnati General Schurz was a
German renegade and mercenary who ought
to have his leg tied to a chair. Now the
administration organs think him an accom-
plished and conscientious statesman. Till
Cincinnati the bailing of jefferson Davis
after he had been for TWO years refused the
right of the commonest felon-that of a
trial-was a monstrous crime. Now, the
denomination State Convention hastens to
select one of the bondsmen as delegate at
large PnllaHplnhi9
political support of men who had once been
rebels was held sure sign of infamy. Now
we see men like Mosby welcomed to the
White House.

The Vicksburg Times has been instru-
mental in bringing to light hideous
mass of corruption by the county officers
of Warren county. As a consequence of
these exposures, four members of the
Board of Supervisors have been arrested
to answer the charges for which they are
accused. The worst of it is, that the
peculators are so hardened in crime that
they persist in their villainous operations
and ply their trade unblushingly, not
withstanding the proceedings which have
been instituted against them.
For its course in this matter, the Times,
though Republican paper, is held to
be no longer loyal by the leaders of its
party, and a new Radical paper has been
started in Vicksburg.

Federation of Opinion

We are surprised at the course which
some Democratic newspapers have
deemed it their prerogative to pursue in
reading Others out of the party because
Of a difference as to the proper course
to be pursued by the State and National
Conventions. We have never been ac-
customed to this display of intolerance.
1t has always been upheld as time-hon-
ored right Of every member of the party
to be heard upon the policy which should
be adopted by its authorized tribunals in
advance Of their decision. Never before
was the cry of 'kick him out. he don't
''belong to the party" heard as we re-
member it. The Democratic maxim.
was and should be, now "Think as
''you please, advise what you think best,
''before the nomination, but after that
"'work for and vote the ticket from bot
''tom to top, whether you personally
f'like it or not

The NATCHEZ AND JACKSON RAIL
RoAD.-The Natchez Democrat has the fol-
lowing account of Railroad barbecue at
Fayette, Jefferson County, in the Interest OF
the Natchez and Jackson Railroad, which
was held recently; and of other meetings
to be held in that county:
Gen. Martin, who has returned from the
Railroad meeting held in Fayette, last Sat-
urday, tells us that it was a large, enthusi
astic and successful affair. Speeches were
made by DR.. John w. Young. Hon, j. M.
Z. Williams. George Stewart, G.. f. Bowles
Esq, Gen. Martin, and others, In favor of
the subscription, and all of them were well
received. We learn that there will be a
grand. railroad barbecue at Maddox's store,
twelve miles East of Fayette. en- the 18th
inst and another Dobyns' Ford, on the
18th, and the people will be addressed by
Gen. Martin, Gen. Clark and various others.
If our merchants and other friends of the
road will contribute something to make
those barbecues lively, they Will be doing
a good work for our great railroad enter
prise.

AugusT Belmont, Chairman OF the
Democratic National Execu.
tive Committee, Declares
for the Liberal Party

All rumors to the contrary notwith-
standing, the Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the National Democracy
has declared in favor OF the Cooperation
plan in the Presidential campaign. He
thinks that the Baltimore Convention
must endorse the nomination of Greeley
and Brown, and thus form an alliance Of
fensive and defensive, with the Liberal
Republicans, or become the indirect in
strument of Grant by the nomination of
third ticket.
The following letters from Mr.. Bel
mont are published in TIE Cincinnati
Enquirer of the 9th, defining his posi-
ton and assigning the reasons which have
prompted him to take it. The letters
confirm the opinion that the New York
Democracy are for Greeley, and the wri-
ter frankly admits that he was left out of
the Baltimore delegation because his
fidelity to the Liberal programme was
not above suspicion
LONG ISLAND. May u, 1872.
MY DEAR SIR Your kind letter of the
18th inst. reached me here, and In reply L
beg to express to YOU nv warm thanks for
the fiatt. ing confidence which you mani
fest for my judgment and sincerity OF pHr-
pose. take 1t for
granted that all thinking men have come to
the conclusion by this time that the nOmi-
nation of a straight Democratic ticket at
Baltimore will either elect Grant by the
people, in case of Greeley's withdrawal or
throw the election into the House if Greeley
should stand, and then. also, Grant viii be
sure to be elected. If the Convention can
be got to nominate Greeley at Baltimore
with anything like unanimity, the large
body of the Democratic party throughout
the country will vote for him. and we shall
have enough Republican votes TO make the
election more than probable. even if we
should lose one-tenth OF our vote by defec-
ton and apathy.
Whether this nomination can be brought
about remains a serious question, and am
not able 10 form a Judgment on this point at
this early day. AT present many leading
men and party organs, besides very large
portion of the German vote. are bitterly
opposed to him. Between now and the 9th
of July Greeley's strength must show an
increase or decline, and it will then be for
our Convention TO adopt what course may
be wsest. Though he is to me the most
Objectionable person the Liberals could Sc
lect, still | am decidedly of the opinion
that our best policy will be to endorse the
Cincinnati platform and ticket. This is the
general feeling in this State. and our dele
CATION to Baltimore is, by large majority,
composed of Greeley men. As our delega-
ton votes as unit, you may set the vote of
New York down almost certain for Greeley.
| was not at Rochester, and have been left
off the list of delegates, most probably on
account of the hoatile position of the World
and Stats Zeitung against the Cincinnati
nominees, as the delegation undoubtedly
selected with but that one idea of making
it sure for Greeley.
Yours, very tIuly,
AUGUST BELMONT.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.-On Wednesday
morning last Polly Brown, an orphan girl
yet in her teens, residing with her uncle in
the neighborhood of Beaver creek. Jasper
county, was going over to neighbours
house near by, when she was overtaken by
June Davis, a negro fiend, who attempted
to perpetrate nameleSs outrage upon her
person. 1t so happened that the young
lady had nearly reached the house of her
destination and that her cries for help
until she found help, undergoing no bodily
injury save exhaustion, loosing nothing in
her desperate struggle but the clothing up
on her. which our informant said was torn
in shreds. The black adulterer fed to the
woods for safety. A few of the neighbors
however, took his track and arrested him.
He confessed his guilt. His captors stifled
their inclination to swing him TO limb and
left him for safe keeping in the care of
justice of the peace.-Shubuta Times.
