MADRID, January 3O.-The trouble
at Barcelona has resulted in a con-
flict in the streets. The military
are now guarding the city. The dis
turbance was caused by the resistance
of the people to pay the excessive du-
ties. A large mob assembled at one
of the gates of the city and threat
ened the custom officers with violence.
The police interfered, and some shots
were fred. The rioters were dis.
persed with difficulty, but the city
has since been quiet. The trouble is
purely local.

ct its melancholy waste and answer ?
Our people will not believe 1t. The
President and our congressman do not
understand it. They say "the crop of
cotton is about an average; the people OF
the. South must be prosperous" But
THE FACT
Is, the cotton is largely made now In
small lots by poor white people In Texas,
in the back country. The large, rich bot
tom-lsnd plantations do not make It..
What is to be done3 Shall we roll back
the wheels of progress, and take away the
vote from the negro2 No, siri But let
congress and the executive see to 1t that
these frauds practiced by the State officials
are punished. The constitution guarsn-
tees to each State g republican form Of
government. Let the government ex-
tend its fostering care to these States
which have three -foarths Of all these
votes from these ignorant people, 80 easily

by cunning, thieving rsscals. Let all
these governors and senators who have
robbed and murdered these people be
treated as our Chicago scslawag aldermen
hsVe been. cannot believe that PreEi-
dent Grant, or the Republican leaders,
Will wink at these outrages for the sake
of Republican elections. / cannot believe
they will permit such rsscals to hold Of
fees to plumber the people under the wing
of the Republican party, when they have
the power to prevent it.
This official plumber, this greed Of office
and power without principle or honesty,
Is, in my judgment, the great calamity Of
the South now. The
CoLoRED PEOPLE
naturally indolsnt-would work much
better than they do if they were not con-
trolIed 80 much by worthless officeholders
who have cursed the South more than all
others. May the time soon come when

wealth and prosperity. Yours, truly,

Already wherever The losses exceed tie sur

Among tie causes for this readiness to meet

most prominent is the fact that the loss is

prieved because they could not obtain them.

now Boston, has enforced, making our

scarcely orc in q thousand Of our present
buildings IS fre-proof. How shall they be
made sol
First, We mast have an end Of Granite rs a
building material in crowded localities. An
isolated building of Granite, if otherwise we'll
constructed, would probably be very hard to
burn down; but in the blast-f.rEace Of &
great fire in narrow street, 1t flies
like glass Chicago showed frce-s.Jna and cast
iron to be almost equally unsafe. In a word,
the only walls we have yet found that cannot
be burned down are walls Of brick.
Next, the usual Mansard roof must be
abolished as a nuisance and an abominadon.
1t is % fire trap Of pine lumber, barely covered
with chin sheet of metal or slate, and put
up beyond the reach of fire engines. 1t is
very easy to kindle it and nearly impossible
to extinguish it, while its hight enables it to
scatter frebrands on every roof in neighbor-
hood. They are talking Of inccndiaries in
Boston; the Mansard roof was their real
incendiary. But it must be remembered
that the main objection lies to its erection
over an unsafe building, and to the use of
it on a wooden framework. Put il over a
building otherwise safe, and construct it of
slate or metal on an iron frame, and it is
perfectly safe.
Next, the use of wooden josts to support
floors, in crowded or exposed parts OF a city,
should be prohibited. Iron, if SO fastened
to the walls that it may warp in
heat and thus tumble them down, is nearly as
bad. The same may be said of its use, in
the midst of combustibo material to uphold
brick walls.
Iron shutters arc indispensable. To what
end construct fire-proOf building, fill it with
iu1ammablo material, and then leave but a
pane of glass between il and fire raging

THE CL0SE or 4 Good CAREER.

Yesterday, George Gordon Meade, Major
General in the Army Of the United States,
was carried to lis last resting place by his
friends and comrades. ii is rare that the
death of a nan Of such position and of such
illrstrious record cxcitcs 30 little of public in
tcrest and comment. 1hc victor Of Gettys-
burg has passed from the earth almost with
out the notice Of the country be served So
well. His obsequies had all the circumstance
which orders from headquarters could give
them. The President himself came from
Washington to testify his respect for his dead
lieutenant. But, at least outside of Philadcl-
phia, there was no such popular mourning as
is customary when q great man falls in Israel.
The cause of this apparent apathy lies doubt
less IN the character of Gen. Meade. He was
n man of such even, such exact temperament
that he was free from those emotions and i'm
pulses, those eccentrcities of feeling and
action which give to the soldiers and their
friends at home those easy and broad impress
sious Of character which are fixed and con
viewed in epithets and nicllnames. lie was
never called Daddy, or Fighting George, or
Poney, OF Stonewall. 1t is doubtful If any
sold er in his command ever ventured to think
of him but as "Gen. Meade" lie cared moth
ing for the parade and show of military life.
He probably never felt any of that Gdadiam
certQininis which the sO-called magnetic men
know, or pretend to know. lie hadno aspirations
or ambitions but TO do his immediate duty MS
well as he could lie was not even eager for
promotion and recognition, as most soldiers
ere. Ilo received q good deal of it in his
time, but seemed always to think more of the
added responsibility than of the supeifuous
buttons. He deprecated praise, and used to
say that he was not fit to take the command of
great armies, or tie initiative in great cam
paigus. 1t is clear he was not the KIND of
man to strike attitudes ia historical pictures,
or 70 be nouthed over ELECTRICALLY in Grand
Army" speeches. lie was faithful, indnstIi-
ous, Ucll-eduo'cd, capable, and modest officer;
and go 10 one matte songs about him, or ever
thought Of III ing him political nomination.
