An increase of the public debt is an nci-
dent so unusual that there may well he an
expression of surprise. For four years the
monthly report has shown steady decrease !;
but now we suddenly run up an addition OF
.3O7 to the national indebtedness. This, of
course, does not appear in any increase Of the
bonded debt which cannot be augmented
without the authorization of Congress. The
deficiency is in the balances on hand, and the
semi-oflicial explanation is that the December
payments have been heavy and the receipts
lighter than usual. 1t is intimated that unre-
ported collections of $3OOO,O0O may be added
to tho balances on hand. That amount how
ever, might better appear in the next monthly
statement.

Just what a fire-proof building really is has
suddenly become q question of more imme-
diate interest to New Workers than almost any
other. The shock of one great fire after an
other has at last fairly startled our com
munity into something like careful
consideration of the dangers which sur
round us, and a desire to know how
to avert their increase in the future.
Mr.. Arthur Gilman, in an able letter, pub
lsbed in another column, throws a flood of
light upon the subject, and will be gratefully
thanked by our readers for his admirable pre-
sentiment of the needs of our building system
and the way to supply them.

is only temporary. The permanent form
Of government is to be decided by q con-
stitutional convention, whose members are
to be chosen directly by the people; and
the president of the Uortes has promised
that this election shall be entirely free to
all Spaniards.
The determination Of the Cortes to SUB
init the future to a popular vote accords
with honest purpose as well as with sound
Judgment and whatever else may be the
result, the future of Spain will be decided
by the intelligence aud sustained by the
integrity of her people. OF course these
are unknown quantities at present, ant
cannot be calculated from the opinions Of
actions of an advanced few.
To render a republic possible the peopl
of Spain must educate themselves up Il
the idea of self-government, infusing tn
democratic element into local institutions
and working the republican principle u
into higher representative order and disc
pline in government.

Mr.. B%RIsBAIN's ''pneumatic tube and
hollow sphere has temporarily come to
grief. The inventor has wrestled with
innumerable difficulties, as is the lot of all
inventors, and like the alchemist, met
with his worst disaster just when success
had been almost assured. The wooden
tube through which his hollow spheres
are to be blown from the Capitol to the
Government Printing House in Washing
ton, is buried seventeen feet beneath the
street. The pressure made the tube sag
and break, and much of the work has to
be done over again. When Mr.. Brisbain
succeeds in blowing his hollow balls,
stuffed with printers copy and proofs
from one part of Washington to the other,
he expects to commence work on q grea'
subterranean postal route through which
mail matter will be pop-gunned between
New York and San Francisco.

TIe spanish Repubiic.

The sudden and bloodless revolution in
Spain, which has resulted in the temporary
establishment Of a republic, is a most re-
markable one in many Of its leading as
poets. The most important feature of the
movement is the great u~nanimity with
which the Cortes voted for a republic, and
proceeded TO the establishment of a proYi-
sional government, vesting, for the time be
ing, the sovereign power in the General
Assembly by electing Figueras president o.
the councils /; CASTELAR,, minister of foreign
affairs General Cordoba, of war, etc
This action defeated an effort of the pliable
Gorilla party to retain power. But this

The Celebration Yesterday.

Perhaps no event in the history of Rich
mond was ever more deserving of COM
memoration than that which was celebra-
ted yesterday, on the arrival OF the hrst
through freight-train from the Ohio river.
The completion of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad is certainly q grand historic
event. 1t promises greater and more
advantageous results to the future
of our city than any single enterprise ever
before undertaken and successfully carried
forward to completion. The military and
civic display on the occasion was worthy
the spirit and enterprise Of u people,
and must have been sufficiently gratifying
to the officers and managers of the road,
who deserve all praise for the energetic
manner in which they have pushed Tor
ward this great national enterprise. Fol
the grand results that are to follow the
completion of this important work are not
simply those which Virginia can. make
available in her interests; they 60 out and
reach, in their beneficent influence,
to every seaboard city on the Allan
tic. Some of the facts stated by th'
gentlemen to whom was assigned the duty
Of making the principal address yesterday
will show how vast is the Importance Q
this work, not only to Richmond and on
more immediate sea-board %neighbor, Nor
folk, but to the entire commerce OF the AT
lantic. Colonel Cabell gave some startling
facts and figures, in the admirable speech
made by him, stating that not less thar tire
hundred millions of bushels of wheat coul
be delivered at Huntington cheaper thai
at Chicago F; that the grain production Q
the Mississippi Valley in 1872, was l,ose'
900, 900 bushels, and that q railroad t
Richmond of four hundred and twent
miles of easy grades, through a genial CT
mate and a region teeming with coal an
iron, would give an idea of the extent
traffic which must necessarily flow throue
this great channel Of trade.
We are glad to see that our citizens a
alive to the Importance of the interes
involved. 1t is high time, and it IS IL
right time. =

We called attention yesterday briefly to
the bill now before the Legislature for the
organization of a State Bureau OF lmmi-
grafton. The scheme has a great deal OF
merit in it, and, with the proper organlza-
ton and direction, might be OF great value
to the State. Such a bureau is essential
70 the success Of any general plan OF secur-
ing the better class of foreign immigrants
now coming in large numbers to this
country. 1t will impart confidence
to this class of foreigners; for
the people of Europe have been
so constantly deceived by interested
parties representing themselves as agents OF
immigration companies, that it is next to
impossible to secure their confidence ex-
cept through those who are approved by
the several states and bear their great seals
as an evidence of the trust reposed IN
them. g- a-
The Northwestern states have under
stood this matter perfectly, and then
accredited agents have been men OF char
acter, influence, energy, and entire trust
worthiness ; and, hence, their success in
securing the very best classes of foreigners
coming to this country. Their agents not
only extend their operations to the'leading
points of emigration in Europe, but they
have central offices and authorized agents
in New York city and other Atlantic sea-
ports. They are constantly disseminating
information throughout Europe by means
of agencies at leading cities on the Cont.
nent and in Great Britain. In some in
stances these agents are paid a stipulated
salary, but in most cases they receive
per capita upon the arrival and settlement
of the immigrants within their respective
states.
The bill now before the Legislature look
to the establishment of such a bureau !
this State as that to which we have referred
and while the amount Of money propose
to be devoted to the undertaking is small
it is believed that in the hands of an actiy
and energetic commissioner man Tor tn
place and not a place for the man-it ma
be made effective for good in the immedla1
future, and lay the foundation for create
and more advantageous results as tt
Legislature shall more literally confer tt
means of rendering it successfully oper
tive at no distant day.
We hope the Legislature will careful
consider the bill upon its true merits, az
thereby give evidence of a desire to (
something practical in the way Of promotil
a cause which all acknowledge to be in
small measure essential to the prosper
Of the State.

y,,e sewing Machine lobby.

We called attention weeks ago TO the
fact that the sewing machine interest is at
the present time represented by a powerful
lobby, which is ~endeavoring to obtain from
Congress a renewal of their patents, which
are on the eve Of expiration. The Gin
| cinnati Gazette, in an article on the subject
says:
A thing more potent for congressional cor
ruption than the Credit MobIier, and whose
snccess means n vastly greater robbery OF the
put liz is now laying its plans to capture Con
eress. 1t is now q time when the stable can pc
locked before the horse is stolen. We mean the
combination of sewing machine manufacturers
whose principal patents are about to expire,
and which is now laying its plans to lobby their
renewal through Congress. vast fortunes nave
have been used 10 make the American
people pay twice as much for machines as
the same companies sell their machines lr IN
ENGLAND. But not satisfied with this, the enor-
mons proft they have made is now combined to
work through Congress their extension. Ihe
extension of TIL, 50 patents, or of any one OF the
numerous patents of auxiliary parts, with which
they are ali combined, would be SO unJustifiabie
an extension of a rich monopoly tnat IL snoulc
be taken as evidence of the corruption OF any
member that votes for II, or becomes an aItor
ney for it, and OF any oIIlcer OF the goNeIhihei
who countenances 1t.
The extension OF sewing machine
patents will be simply a gross outrage BY
Congress on the people, who have doubl.
repaid the inventors and holders of sue
advantages. IF an Improvement is mad
on such machinery, give the inventor 9
that the benefit of a patent but for tn
machines now used let there be no extensio
of patents--they belonging to the people
who have paid a fair round sum for the a
ticle. A little exercise of the right of n
monstrance to Congress on the sublee
would be a labor of benefit, if the Poop
resolved to resist it. ..Tr.

IT is well-known that there is a large
Mohammedan population in British India.
This population is incorporating in its
hostility to English rule. Our readers
have not forgotten the assassination, not
many months ago, of the Governor Gem
eral of India. That crime had its origin
in Mohammedan hatred and bigotry. All
the Moslems of Southern Asia are fully
cognizant of the uneasy relations between
England and Russia. They are fayora'
bly disposed towards the latter power,
and seem ready to use their widespread
influence in its favor. Russia, astute in her
policy, has pursued a conciliatorY course
towards her Mohammedan subjects. She
admits them to all the privileges OF citizen
| ship enjoyed by members Of the Greek
church. In the territory of Turkistan,
recently conquered by Russia, the religion
of Mohammed prevails. These new sub
iects have been treated with circumspec
consideration and tolerance. For this rea
son the Mohammedan fanatics of India ar
looking to Russia for relief from British
oppression.

So FAR as conviction is concerned, the
murderers are having a bad time of it this
year. Heretofore, by artrul pleadings and
technical tricks, counsel defending MUIR
derers were able to clear their clients, but
the trials of 1873 show little encourage
ment for criminals of this degree. Never
theless, the laws delay is still OF the side
of the murderers. When we can obviate
this, murderers will be dealt with as the
