The following card, published in the
New York Tribune will be read by the
friends of that paper with great pleas
ure, and remove any doubts that may
have been entertained as to Mr.. Gree.
ley's future course.
A Card.--The undersigned r 1umes
theeditorialship ofthe Tribune, which he
relinquished on embarking in another
line of business six months ago. AS
heretofore, it shaltbe his endeavOr to
make this a thoroughly independent
journal, treating all parties and political
movements with judicial flrmness and
candor, but courting the favor and de.
precating the wrath of no one. If he
can hereafter say anything that will
tend to heartily unite the whole Amer
lean people on the broad platform of
universal amnesty and impartial suff.
rage, he will gladly do so; for the pres.
ent, however, he can best commend
that consummation by silence and for
bearance. The victoi5 In our late strug-
gle can hardly fail to take the Whole
subject of southern rights and wrongs
into early and earnest consideration
and to them for the present he RENTS
1t. Since he will never again be
candidate for any office, and is not in
full accord with either of the great
parties which have hitherto divided
the country, he will be able and will
endeavor to give wider and steader
regard TO the progress ofscience, indus.
try and the useful arts than partisan
journal can do. And he will not be
provoked to indulgence in those bitter
personalities which are tie recognized
bane of journalism. Sustained by a
generous public, he will do his best to
make the Tribune a power in the
broader held it now contemplates, as,
when human freedom was in pelil, it
was in the arela of political PARTISAN
ship.

On Monday last the mortal remains oI
the dead hero ofGettysburg were con
signed to tho grave amid the genuine
sorrow and regret of his fellow citizens
The modest, unassumiug soldier will
hencefor;h take his place in history as
one of the really able generals OF the
war. lie was no political soldier, gor-
geous of uniform and valiant only in
dispatches, but grave, reticent, con-
scientious, hard working leader whose
aim was success and not increase of
rank, pay and emoluments. Now that
he has passed away and only the legacy
of his deeds is left US, men will credit
him with the good he accomplished and
assign him higher place in the annals
ofthe country than many of the wear
ers of shoulder straps whose speeches
aud political intrigues have kept them
more prominently before the public
Not only was General Meade a good
soldier, but jealous ardent, laborer for
the advancement of the city of his resi-.
dence, and Philadelphia will not easily
fill the place of him who strove so car
nestly to promote her we'll being and
material interests.
"ralSe him all in all he was n man,"
an honest one, patriot one well wor-
thy the sincere admiration and respect
of all who can appreciate a quiet, I'M
ostentatious, courteous gentleman.

WASHINGTON, November 6.-The fol-
ing dispatch has just been received
at the White House:
a ARRENToN, Va, November T.
Frtsiaeat Grant, Virginia casts her vote
for Grant, peace and reconciliation.
lciSAed) JOHN S. MosBY."
Iao John s. Mosby whose name is
siguei 10 the above telegram, is the
SANE M0sby who as mlrauder and
gueg,ua earned the reprobation of de-
cen men during the war. For reasons
of his own re has become a Grant sup
por.cr and Is now bright aud shining
lighJ in that collection of Christians and
statesmen to be found in the Republi-
can party. Had he not become a hoWler
for Grant he would have been denounc.
ed, as of old, as scoundrel by all the
papers which support his master. He is
a valuable witness concerning "peace
aud reconciliation"
Here Is another; the ex reverend
Harlan, editor of the Washington
Chronicle, who sniilles out his belief that
the reelection of Grant is due to the
Especial and earnest efforts of the great
mass of the protesting Christians of the
country in favor of what they believed
to be the party of peace, progress and
good government"
Was. ever such drivel heard before
''Professing Christians" had about as
much to do with Grants election as they
had with that of the King of Dahomey.
1t was not that kind of people who did
1t, "professing" or otherwise. This holy
Harlan is another valuable witness IS

Aud behold here is our own CORY
Geary, doing the pious on his own hook
and thanking the Almighty "for the
great privileges of American citizen
ship; for the untramelled expression of
opinion" Pretty isn't it and 50 true.
Following the October election, the
most shameful and shameless exhibition
of political fraud ever given to the peo.
pie of the United States, it sounds we'll.
With Geary himself in the Governors
chair, ''counted in" not elected, it
sounds well. With Cameron and Hart
ranft and Yerkes as leaders of the peo.
pie it sounds well. We wonder if it be
absolutely indispensable for Radical
Office holder or seeker to introduce into
his public utterances either virtuous
twaddle or. illusions to the Almighty
who, certainly, from the looks ofthings,
never had less to do with politics than at
present! .l-. .., Il
With such political Chadbands as
Mosby, Harlan and Geary to give thanks
for us we ought to make the 2Sth of No,

the city of Boston has suffered a
cG' nifty almost rs terrible as that which

H..r ago In the space of a few hours
So v.pty acres in the very business
n b of tJe city were covered with the
III l- ar tle largest and handsomest
houses, for business purposes, in the
Udl.t Sates. The loss is enormous
berg variyusly estimated at from one
hundred tJ Two hundred millions. 1t
is stated that there was some loss of life
bu. nothing definite is given in the des-
pI.o1a5. The burnt district was chiefly
ocaunioa rs Wholesale houses in thedry
goods, leather, boot and shoe, and wool
trades, hence there is not that amount
ofpersonal suffering among the poor to
chronicle which made 50 horrible part
of Chicago'5 disaster.
Ia view of such fearful ravages offire
rs this and Chicago and Portland it may
well be subject for serious considera-
tion whether this age, great as it is in
improvements, does not need more than
all else an entirely new system for sub
DUNG confiagrations. 1t is apparent
that with all the modern appliances of
steam engines and plentiful supplies Of
water it is yet possible for large por-
tion of city, whose buildings are call
ed fire proof, to be destroyed in spite
Of the most strenuous exertions of her
citizens to stay the flames. The most
massive and we'll constructed buildings
exposed to certain degree of heat have
been proved to be not proof gainst fire.
The heat evolved from the burning
houses was so great ss to drive the fire.
men from their posts and the rarefied
air created 80 fierce a current as to
amount almost to gale and added ten
fold fury to the flames.
such disasters are so enormous as to
defy any dispassionate contemplation
on the part of those who were not act.
ually present at the work of destruction,
but imagination can paint the scene
and not too viyidly for truth. 1t is
fearful thing to contemplate, this help
lessness of men with all their art and
science before such catastrophe.
1t would be well for the representa-
tives of the great business interests in
the various cities of the Union, who
are liable at any moment to be reduced
to beggary by such calamities, to take
counsel as to an effective method of ex-
tinguishing confagrations, else there
may be others like those of Boston and
Chicago aud Portland, to make our
hearts sick with their terrors and mis-
cries.

but their ideas are believed to be great
ly exaggerated.
1t is believed that every local and
many of the Insurance Companies of
New England will be ruined as most OF
them were moro or less crippled by the
Chicago fire.
The conAagration was rekindled by a
gas explosion early Monday morning,
but The flames were checked after de-
stroying four or five additional stores.
The total number of business houses
and firms burned out is stated ut $50
dwelling and lodging houses, go. Among
the buildings and offices burned out
were those of 81 banks, 46 insurance
companies and 27 newspapers. 1t is es.
timated that 500 families are homeless.
Public meetings have been held in
Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, st.
Louis, Detroit, Cincinnati, Pittsburg
and Other cities to offer aid to the
sufferers aud money is subscribed in
profusion.

The Constitutional Convention.

Promptly at the hour of twelve on
Tuesday last the constitutional con-
vention met in the hall of the house of
representatives and was called to order
by Hon. f. Sordan, secretary of tn @
commonwealth, who read the govern.
or's proclamation containing the names
of the delegates.
After calling the roll of members, Mr.
Darlington, of Chester, nominated VIM.
M. Meredith for president. The motion
was seconded by Mr.. Purviance, of Allie
gheny, and was unanimously adopted.
The president elect was escorted to the
chair by Messrs. Woodward and Dar-
lington. Messrs. Meredith, Woodward,
Darlington and Purviance were all
members of the convention of 1887.
Mr.. Meredith briefly returned thaks,
when the business of the convention
proceeded.
At the first opportunity delegate
presented resolutions Of the councils of
Philadelphia inviting the convention to
hold its future sessions in that city. Mr..
Linn Bartholomew responded with a
resolution at once accepting the invita-
ton. Various amendments and motions
were put which occasioned considerable
debate, but it was evident that a large
majority was in favor Of immediate ad-
journment to Philadelphia. So unseem-
ly was the hsste that Judge Woodward
asked whether the delegates proposed
to take up their carpet bags and move
on Philadelphia Immediately. AT length
Mr.. Gowen offered a r. solution that the
invitation of the councils of Philadel-
pbia be accepted and the convention
meet permanently in that city after the
first of January. This resolution was
adopted by a large majority.
On motion the chair was authorized
to appoint committee of ten to con-
slider and report what permanent Off.
GERS are needed by the convention, when
the first days session came to its close.
