Mr.. John A. Coleman, Of Providence, recently
delivered lecture boforo the archaeological
Institute Of Boston, and hold that our means for
extinguishing flros aro radically defective, md
must DO so long as wo rely upon mid being
brought from q distance. The contingency ia
always proaont that tho assistance may como
too late to prevent a spread of tho disaster, the
extent Of which will depend upon tho greater
or loas number Of hint1rances that
arc interposad at tho timo. Mr.. Colouan's
idea is, that the only sure prccantion ia to DO
found in increasing tho facilities for flooding
every part Of building promptly. Such plan
has bcen successfully adopted in somo of tho
largo mills In New England. Tho namo machine
~ which supplies tho eteam md hoating power
is made available for doluging lite building with
steam or wnter in case of u fro. This could bo
adaptod to D block of buildings in such way
that ono set Of machinery would Heryo for tho
whole. Artesian wolls hare been sunk in sew
oral instances in Chicago to servo similar pur-
pose.

There is discussion In New York aa to wlot!1-

Fire Marshal holds TINT it can, wllilo former
Marshal maintains that It cannot. Tho theory
of 'buporhcatcd steam" is brought forward in
proof Of tho affirmative Of tho proposition, mud
tlloro is to DO Il regular scientific discussion Of
tho whole subject. A note on tho subject, giving

teot, will bo found in another column.

In tho lnttor part Of October, Vico President
Colfax made q speech at South Bend in which
he castigatod with 1nucl, severity tho editors of
tllreo newspapers, to-wit: those Of THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE, The Now York Tribune, md tho
Springfield Republican. Tic offence OF these
newspapers was, that they had published the
celebrated list of Congressman mentioned by
Oahos Aulos to Henry s. ArComb rs loldors OF
Credit Mobilier stock, and lad frequently and
pointedly called upon tl,oua to sny something
about it. Mr.. Colfax had not boon selected for
particular almonitlon by any Of thcue novspa-
pera. In fact, ho had received rather less atten-
tion than tho rost but his namo appearing iu tho
list, it was impossible for any newspaper
to strike 1t out Or wholly ignore it, The sub
stance OF the South bend speech WAS, that tho
whole thing was lio from beginning to end.
This was the impression made upon tho public,
and probably the impression intended to DO coil
veyed. Wo select tho following paragraph from
tho purpose:
10 need to add that neither Oa.:es An,es nor any
oor rorson over gave, offered to giyc, share,
Mcbiier any other railroad STOCK and that unfor-
tuuatey, have never received thu yaluo Of fnrhng
out Of tho 27o per cent iydond tho 800 per cent
aividcula III casl, stock, and bonds, you hayo
read nbout eyory day for tho past month,
nor 100 per cont, nor l per cent, nor tho
teEth Of / rer cent. have said that II twenty
shares OF It could be plrchagcd ut par, without buying
into prospective lawsuit, it would be good invest
men. II 1t valuable stock represented, and
lave said that would lilo to buy twenty shares ut
par, If attanabe, in tho Stndebakor Wagon Company,
or tho Dirtaell Glover Separator Company hore,
challenge either Of tile two lust companies to giyo
such opportunity now or hereafter; but never
having been rlaniG nor defendant in court Of JUS
tce want stock of any kind Mt any price, with
lAwait top Of It, not with tho prospective diyi
do1s Of S22 600, which, FREQ TO maintain neither
thcso good eyes Of mine this pockotbook have
tho first dollar Of although il positively
Bcred that ! have been entitled to this handsome
amount ever since four years ago.
Now wo have no desire to magnify this Credit
Mobilior business or Nrr. Colfax's connection
with it, which no admit was very slight. But
VIC cannot forboar to notice an omission in tho
South Bend speech which has been supplied by
his testimony before tho Investigating Commit
teo. II AIr. Colfax Ind thon said, as ho says
now, that he hal homo negotiations with Amcs
for tho purchase of Credit Mobilior stock md
paid him $500 on account, but afterwards
backed out Of tho trade, the aoyoro castigation
which he administered to tho thrco newspapers
would haye lost somo Of itB point. Whether tho
lawsuit, which Mr. Colfa1 spcaks Of as having
aoserrcd him from completing tho trade, Was tho
tIComb suit, or somo other, doea not yet ap-

Tho "subsidy" Came.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company of New
York Is one of the concerns now under In
vestlgation for or,upting Congress 10 obtain
q subsidy out of the National Treasury. At
the same time the stock Of that company is
football among the New York operators"
It's chief manipulators have been for long
time putting it up and down among the
"bullsn and "bears" Of Wall street. Among
these are the president Of the company, who
Ia described as one Of the "heavlest operators
..on the street," He is now reported to have
lost millions In his operations. The question
now arises whether the moneys OF The people
of the United States are we'll placed when

The wretched Conclusion.

The Philadelphia Ledger, usually cautious
in the expression OF an opinion, thus con.
cludes an able article on ''the wretched con-
"clusion" reached by the House OF Repre-
sentatives in the case OF the Credit Mobilier
victims:
"Then came their mean, tricky, false de-
malls, shifts, evaslons, and fast tollowinge1-
plantations OF their explanations, every change
In which showed more and more their own
sense of their own culpability. There never
was an instance In which men holding public
truat were more thoroughly covered with
proof of malfeasance In Office. Tie guilty
knowledge of all these men was as visible as
the plunder of the government moneys was
stupendous. And Congress Furnishes all this
by passing Its partial resolutions OF censure,
letting the guilty 60 free upon the false pre-
tence Of having no jurisdiction. This is 30
transparent sham that 1t will command the
belief OF no one possessing the commonest
intelligence The majority Of the House OF
Representatives. evadlng their plain duty In
trying to wipe away the stain from their dis
honored fellow.members, have fixed that
stain upon the House itself, without removing
1t from the guilty they have tried TO Shield"

The Charleston PosteMoe.

The rumor was rife on the streets, yester-
day, that the present postmaster OF Charles
ton, Mr.. Stanley G. Trott, had been re-
moved, and that DR.. B. A. Bosemon, fsp'
resentative OF this County in the Legislature,
had been appointed in his stead. The state
ment Is, to say the least, premature. A
movement to effect the change indicated ls,
1t Is true, on foot; but the chances OF its
success are, we think, anything but bright.
Some OF DR.. Bosemon's friends in Columbia
have prepared petition In bis behalf and
forwarded 1t to Washington; but 1t is hardly
probable tina: President Grant will be in o
hurry to dlsplace one OF the few staunch
Republican officials in this State, whose fit.
ness for his position is admitted by all,
and whose record is without stain.
Mr.. Trott, since he has been Postmaster
here, has gained the entire confidence and
esteem OF the business community. His
removal now would certainly be In direct
violation Of the spirit OF Civil Service Re
form and OF the declared policy OF the
Executive towards the South. Mr.. Trott
has always been pronounced and consist
ent Republican; but happily, his Integrity,
ability and fitness for the duties OF his office
are as undoubted as his Republicanism. The
South needs men like him in public posi-
tious, whatever may be their political creed.
1t. will hardly be claimed by the friends OF
DR.. Bosemon that he ls the superior OF the
present Postmaster In the practical, busi
ness qualifications for the office, and 1t Ia
hard 70 see how any advantage can be
claimed for either, in aparty point OF view,
since they are both Republicans, and even
In the fraternal strife which divided the
party in the last campaign both belonged to
the same faction, and contributed their in
fluencs and means, each in his degree,
towards the accomplishment OF the same
ends.

legal emigration, but it would see that tne
law was carried out In relation to those per-
SONS who had not fulfilled their military
obligations.
As to the proposition that no one should
be allowed to leave the seaports without q
special consent to emigrate, it was hinted
by the government that this would Involve
an alteration OF the existing laws, and there
was great difference OF opinion in Prussia
as to whether prohibition OF emigration
could be justified by general law, although
the government is now considering the issue
OF some regulations touching the induce
ments held out by immigration agents to
persons to go across the Atlantic. The gov
ernment, however, it would appear, has de-
cided that something must be done to arrest
the emigration by Introducing laws and regu-
lations which should make Germany more
attractive to the persons intending to emil
CRATE. Trade and industry must be pro-
noted; the building Of railroads proceeded
with, In order to develop the resources OF the
land; In short, the internal, especially the
agricultural, condition Of The rural districts
improved by the populations most interested
in the prevention OF emigration. The gov
ernment could only promise it's assistance
when proper measures were proposed, but
could not take the initiative. From the
Minister'S remarks it will be seen that the
Prussian government is made aware OF the
danger OF restrictive measures against emil
grafton, and is growing conscious OF the fact
that the 'emigration disease" can only be
checked by wise legislation and the eleva-
tlon Of the oppressed classes.

about s7OOO From Antwerp she went to Car

surplus over her cost OF ss6,sls. During all her
voyages she has never damaged pound OF
her cargoes, which speaks volumes Tor the
staunchpess of her build.
