lCOMMUNICATED.

Our CHIEF ENGINEER A little more than
year ago, the Friendship Fire Company pro-
posed a convention of 6remen, to nominate a
suitable person for Chief Engineer, The other
companies agreed to the proposition, and the
convection met, all the companies being repre-
sented. BY a unanimous vote, Edward S.
Leaibeatcr was recommended to the City
Council as the best man for the place, and,
upon that recommendation, he was elected. His
record as an officer is before the people, and if
any man who was not predetermined to be dis
satisfied, has serious fault to find with him, |
have yet to hear it. Under these circumstan-
ces, a member of the Hydraulion Steam Fire
Engine Company, who has been a fireman
twenty seven years, introduced into meeting
of that company, last Tuesday night, resou-
ton, ''That, in the Judgment of this company,
the services of Edward S. Leadbeater as Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department during the past
Year, have been of great value to the communi-
ty, and that his reelection to that Office would
be most acceptable to those who have been act
ing under bis direction and that resolution
was unanimously adopted.
More Anon characteriZeS this as IAN etfurt
made, by some persons, to manufacture public
opinion in behalf of favorites for particular
places of honor and emolument within the gift
of the City Council and efforts made in some
fire companies to torestall the opinion Of Coun-
ell.

CONGRESS-. In the Senate yesterday the
bill regarding the disposition of fines, penalties
and forfeitures was discussed and passed over
without action. The Sundry Civil Appropria-

prohibiting pay to mail contractors in the Con-

moved the Supplemental Civil Rights bill as
an amendment, and MIR. Carpenter offered the
Amendatory Enforcement act as another
amendment, both of which were being discuss

Mr.. PoweiPs Painting OF Perry at the
Ballle of Lake Erie.

Itis known that Congress appropriated S25, 900
for painting Of that great historical event--the
naval battle on Lake Erie during the war of
1872, and that Mr. w. II. Powell was the artist
engaged to do the work MIR. Powell has been
over three years earnestly and steadily employed
on the painting and had spent great deel Of
time prev iously in collecting facts portraits and
materials to make this faithful historical work.
The picture covers the large area Of thirty feet
by twenty, on canvas woven 10 Holland xpress-
" for the artist. Though not flushed, it is so
far advanced as TO be ready for removal to
Washington and to be placed in the pannel as
signed 10 il over the broad d stairs OF the Senate
Char Yer al the Capitol. When placed there,
Mr. Powell will give it the finishing touches.
Before removing 1t 10 Washington the artist iu-
vited gentlemen OF the press and some others TO
view the picture at the Twenty second Regiment
Armnry, Fourteenth Street, which is the place
Mr.. Powell made his studio for this particular
work.
The thought inspired on seeing this painting
Is that Of grandeur. Both the colossal pr0pOI-
tions and the event portrayed combine to give
tlis impression. Then one is impressed with
the suitableness Of the picture to the place
for which 1t is iutended-the Capitol Of the re-
public. The first object the oye rests upon Is
the heroic American commander, Perry, stand-
Jog 10 the boat, which has just left the disabled
flag ship, Lawrence, aud pointing 10 the Niagara,
10 which he has resolved To transfer his Gag, and
Nv Is w iNoOhl tho
shot and shell Of tho enemy are falling around
him like hail IL is the critical moment and has
been happily seized upon by the .rlis. as the
most prominent feature 1T his picture. The
Iikeoess Of Perty is said to be good, aud the
whole attitude aud the expression Of tho hero
are striking. The boat aud all the persons in II,
,ta nd out well in the foreground. The indvd- |
iaity Of the sailors, and particularly Of Perry's
yOung brother, who was imploring the con'min-
Ter 10 ait down and not expose himself SO much |
% the shot of the British, is strongly marked.
This group Of itself is q very fine picture. The
inity Of II rests there. The other parts-such |
IS the disabled ship just left, the Niagara and
he other ships on both sides in tue distance, the |
hot and shells falling into and throwing up the I
rater ALL rouni, the smoke Of the guns and
ther objects but details, though each is
lriking enough aud faithful to history. The wa
Ar and sky, not easy to delineate are 90 far
-eated naturally. though the artist has yet to
nish this part IT his painting when placed in
Ne Canitol. On the whole, Powell's "Dattle OF
axe Erie" is, no doubt, one Of tho verv best
roduc'ious Il American art N J. Hsralh T.

i" Drowning Men Catch at straws. /"

II is amusing in looking over the political
arena to observe the desperate straits IN which
the Democratic party is driven. Intuitively feel
ins defeat in the approaching contest, they make
mt only the mist random assertions, but puerils
statements, and even quote scripture to impose
Hpon the iiterate and unrsa1oting among their
fellow men.
Ex Governor RASDALL, in the New Jersey
Democratic Convention. speaking of GREELEY,
said "IflMr. GREELEY can accommodate him.
self to uncompromising Democratic vicws, we
can accept his conversion, even IL il be a tride
sudden aud unexpected. So was Sr. PAuJ's,
you kuow, yet no one questioned the sincerity of
Sr. PAUL's conversion, nor had occasion to
was effected by direct interpostiou from on
high. A phenomenon TO accoms 81 great end
the results of which may b; - ea,s'-r, gnb
time to the end of all things.
Bu! on the hypothesis that GREELEY Is con
vcrtsd, which no sane man believes, by what
agency was il achieved? BY kind Of political
lsgerlemain en- d stat, evidently distastsfrl
I, the majority, but wbo we're, nevertheless, dra-
eooned into his support aud thus made an aP
parent virtue OF necessity.
Td1y now take refuge in stating that he Is
honest. That, 10 all the isms which have found
ia hima Yoeate, be has been sincere and
honest.
We are reminded Of certain silyer'smitb who
cliimed to be honest aud who, when quantity
Of plate was brought to him which had been
stolen from church, aud offered him for sale,
charged the thief With sacrilege, and drove a.
hard bargain with him and then remarked thus
" "YOu know my principles, | never allow
my hanes to touch stolen property" SO he took
them up ons by Que with pair Of tong' aud
quietly dropped them into his cruoible.
The very fact Of dRgELgY's acceptance Of a
nomination at the hands Of Democrats whose en-.
smy hs has ever been, aud whose Sntipaihy b.
the party sui is principles, though latent, still |
exists, IA ample proof If his dishonesty. And

THE cATAco,lBs, OF Ro1n.

Our community has been favored during
the past week, BY . couple Of lectures on
this interesting subject, by Rev. Prof. Jules
DeLaunay, who spent i've years among
them.
These cntacombs are the old sand quarries,
varying from fifty to one hundred and fly
feet beneath the surface Of the earth. They
are about twenty-five miles in length from
north 70 south, and about twenty from east
to west. They are not continuous, but in
groups, there being some sixty-odd In all.
They are entered by steps thorough some
six hundred different shafts. There are In
them twelve hundred chapels. where the
early Christians met en- the Lords Day to
worship and breake bread.
The catacombs were used by the early
Christians for three purposes: LIST. Fol
places Of worship, rs just stated. End. Fol
asylums from their prosecutors. Bird. Fol
cemeteries. The Prof. told US that there
were millions of the carly saints, many o.
whom were martyrs, buried in them.
The first lecture, which was to us decided
ly the most interesting, was upon the cpl
taphs found recorded there. He showed u
the fac simiie Of one hundred and forty o
them. Some of them were cXccedingl,
beautiful. We will give one Of them-.hi
