broke out IN the fourth story near the elevator.
OF the fve-story marble building belonging to the
sewing machine company, on the northeast
corner OF Washington and State streets

fitted up for occupancy by Field. Letter & Co. as
retail dry goods store, and was nearly finished, but
contained no goods The fire Is said to have orlgl-

Improving Prospects or tho Spanish
Republic.

Despite the announcement of fresh disor-
ders in the South, it is very evident that the
'red'' instruction in Spain has exhibited the
impossibility of its further success. We are
not astonished to learn that reaction against
the radicals has set in among those who sup
ported the cantonal order of government, but
who did not wish to make that the cover for
all sorts of excuses against life and property.
We are heartily glad of this, for there can be
little doubt the Carlist agents have been busy
in pushing on the Internationalists to vio-
lence, in hopes of . foreign Intervention
which would erect the monarchy again. If
the reaction against the ''reds'' becomes gen.
eral in the South and the republican govern
ment grows in favor the Madrid authorities
will find their arms strengthened in manner
they scarcely could have expected month
ago. Indiferentism was the great obstacle in
their way. To save the large cities from the
socialist mob will strengthen the government
immensely 1t was the very thing wanting to
give them claim on the support of those who
RETAINED from voting at the late elections to
the Cortes through fear that the Republic
meant the Commune. This fortifying Of the
government in the south and centre of Spain
should also do great deal to make
the army officers in the North more
active and loyal in their warfare against
the Carlists ALI soldiers respect strong
government and the Spanish captains may be
relied on for better fighting when they know
there is power behind them that can punish
laxity or treachery as we'll as reward good
soldiership. II is the unanimous opinion of
our correspondents on the republican side
that the Carlist bands could soon be annihi-
lated, if there was any heart in the campaign
against them.
How far the Carlists have been concerned
in the 'Ted" risings is not very clear as yet;
but it is certain that the former have been
exactly informed of affairs at Cartagena
as soon as they occurred, and the facts sent
abroad with alacrity. The activity of the
Madrid government and their success over the
insurgents at Almeria, Malaga and Seville,
will, doubtless, cause the foreign governments
whose ships-of-war are watching the rebel YES
sells to act in the interest of the Republic
instead of that Of Don Carlos.
The position taken up by Don Alfonso
and Sabals northwest of Barcelona indicates
that the Carlists are setting somewhat de-
liberately about making an advance on that
city. This points to considerable battle be-
ing soon fought, if there is any determination
ON the part of the Carlist leaders to risk a
struggle for the possession of the second city
in Spain. II will be departure from their
present mode of warfare, and it remains to be
proved whether the rough mountainous can
be as successful in regular operations as in
guerilla fighting among their own hills.

TWEED AND HIS COUNSEL.

1t is difficult for newspapers as well
as other people to cease their congratu-
lations at the result of the Tweed trial.
The simple fact that the wealthy and
powerful 'tBoss" of New York politi-
clans has been convicted of a crime in
New York city, and has been sentenced
to a term of Imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary, tends to give the people of the
whole country feeling of respect for
law, and of security in the enjoyment of
those inalienable rights guaranteed to
the citizens of this free land then again
that satisfaction is increased by the fact
that the condemned Tweed has passed
several nights in durance, and is at the
moment Of writing this, in close custody
in the Tombs, and has been dweller in
the condemned cell, previous to being
taken to his place of permanent confne-
ment on Blackwell's Island. The lovers
of law and order may well rejoice, and
the criminal and unrighteous can find in
this result food for wholesome reflection.
The law of the State in which Tweed
committed his great crime and has re-
ceiyed his just sentence, is the same as
when administered by Barnard and Car
dozo. The same code of procedure is in
existence; the judges of the Supreme
Court have the same power now as when
Barnard used TO grant injunctions by
telegraph and release condemned Grimm
ais on bail, after granting stay of SEN
tence, and yet the whole array of able
and experienced counsel that have
labored so assiduously in behalf of Tweed,
have been wholly unable to find a judge
who would grant a moments respite of
the sentence passed by Judge Davis upon
the convicted "Boss." The conclusion
is irresistible that the benchAof New
York has become purified, and that the
odium that had gathered over it, is being
dispelled, and that political power and |

Probably Of the class who have been
most contaminated with these reprehen-
sible practices, Mr. John Graham stands
as the best or worst representative. He
has beer. accustomed to show great tenn
per in court and made has assaults upon
opposing counsel in the trial Of a cause.
He has Bpllied judges and threatened
jurors until he supposed himself prigil-
eyed in that respect, and at the com
mencement of this Tweed trial, he
sought 10 intimidate Judge Davis by
presenting to the. court an insulting
paper, intended to prevent His Honor
from sitting in the case, at all or to infiu=
ence his rulings if. he tried the case:
Judge Davis then remarked that the mat
ter would be called mp at some future
time, and went on with the case until
Tweed was convicted and sentenced, and
then give notice that the matter of the
insult to the court would be attended to-.
On Monday the counsel for the, defense
who signed and presented the paper
were arraigned for contempt. EX-Judge
Fullerton, for his associates and himself,
disclaimed any disrespect to the court or
the Judge personally. Justice Davis
then said he would state his view of the
paper, and counsel could take such action
as they deemed proper. He read several
passages in the document which charged
partially and prejudice, and commented
freely thereon. He also read from bis
charge on the first trial, to show that he
had not preiudiced the defendant, and
also declared his belief that the whole
paper was prepared for the purpose ofin
timidating him and prejudicing the jury,
and closed by stating that he gave the
counsel until Saturday to prepare a de-
Tense. This is a good time to commence
a reform, these lawyers are experienced
and able men, who ought to know better,
and if the court in this case will only
establish a rule that the dignity of judi
cial tribunals must be respected, it will
be doing the public service only second
to the conviction of Tweed.

A FIENDIsH REVENGE.

At the same hour when the preceding
events were occurring, large top-sail
schooner was standing on and off the
Eastern Passage of the ToDga-taboo har-
Dor, waiting to enter the port and come
to anchor.
Upon the stern of this schooner, lean
ing against the bulwarks, stood fresh
looking and rosey-faced youth of eight
cen years, or nineteen, who was look
ing dreamily through the night in the
direction of the distant land. And near
this youth stood the skipper of the
chooner, whose gaze had long been fixed
in the same direction.

Breeze, that you expect to find old &C

Arrest of Genet.
TIE HARLEM COURT HOUSE FRAUDS-TwO
INDICTMENTS FOR GRAND LARCENY.

Henry W. Genet was arrested in New
York Monday on a bench warrant issued
by Judge Davis, and was held to appear
for trial on two indictments in the sum
of $4,000 bail. The capture of Genet
spread CONSERVATION among his ascot
ates in crime, who are still outside the
clutches of the law. Following so close
ly upon the conviction of Tweed, and
being contemporaneous with the trial of
Ingersol and his business partner, it
carried with it force and meaning suf-
ficient to cause a genuine sensation of
the healthier class. The Indifference
with which the arrests of the 'tRing
robbers was formerly regarded, was not
visible yesterday. 1t disappeared with
the conviction of their chief. The magic
circle of gold that was supposed to
shield them from punishment was shown
to be but tinsel, and the community is
now fully persuaded that the arrest of a
thief is almost SYNONYMOUS with his pun
ishment 1t was this conviction that
caused the arrest of Harry Genet TO be
regarded so seriously by those who are
conscious that they deserve a similar
fate for like offenses committed.
Officer Richard O'Connor, of the Dis
trict Attorneys office, was dispatched
early Monday in search of Genet. Short
ly after noon, the officer entered the
sumptuously furnished offices of the
man for whom he was looking, over
Bangs restaurant, ON Broadway. When
Genet was informed of the nature of the
officers mission, he was simply astound-
ed. Being on bail for an indictment for
forgery found against him nearly two
years ago, he did not dream of being ar
rested on a new charge. By the light
of recent events he could easily see that
this arrest meant something more than
did the former. The reflection banished
that defiant swagger and the bold imper-
tinent smile with which the Tammany
men, when first arrested, entered the
tribunals of justice to give bail to answer
for their offenses. Visions of zebra
uniform and hard labor arose before his
mind, and he fairly wilted.
Genet gave bail for SIS, 1000 on each of
the two indictments and was liberated

Sharkey's Escape.

Information of an important character
was given to Capt. Irving, of the de-
tective force Monday at II o'clock, by
Special Officer Henry Prior, of Lord &
Taylor's, Broadway and Twentieth
street, to the effect that the whereabouts
of Sharkey was to him known beyond a
doubt. The immediate assistance of the
entire detective force was at once placed
at his disposal, and they visited the sup
posed hiding place, situated at No. 1S1
Lexington avenue. After careful
search through the house no such person
was then found, but every evidence of
his recent flight, one hour before, from
there was at once proven, he having
been there the night previous and up to
10a M. The trace made by the detect
ives lead them to think that he was es-
corted to the steamer North America,
which left for Java at noon Monday.
Maggie Jourdan and Keeper Lawrence
Phillips were arraigned before Judge
Davis, in the Court of Oyer and Termin-
er, yesterday, on writs of habeas copus.
The object of the writs was the reduc-
ton of the bail demanded, $4,000, in
each case. Ex-Judge Beach, counsel
for the woman Jourdan, made formal
application, asking a reduction of bail.
Counsel for Phillips claimed his client
could only be punished for INSIDE
meanor, and asked reduction of bail.
Assistant District Attorney Lyons, in
making return to the writs, produced
indictments against the prisoners found
by the Grand Jury, but which had not
been filed in the General Sessions Court.
Judge Davis decided not to rule on the
question of bail, which was referred to
the Court of General Sessions, where
it will be decided, on motion, on We'd
nesday morning.
