THE TREASURY DEPARTHENf LEARNIAG.
A few days ago THE TRIBUNE called attcn-
tion to the fact that, under the wording OF
the act of Congress in reference to the dis
position of the Alabama Award, the Syndi-
cate might claim a commission OF One-halt
per cent on the gross amount Of the IN
demnity. based on nothing more substantial
than mere clerical entry By a Treasury clerk
in the books of the Treasury Department
We are glad to learn that Secretary Richard
son has emphatically declared" that no such
claim will be allowed. This is decision
which reflects credit on the Treasury Depart
mcnt.
1t was also given out from Washington
a few days ago that the next statement
of the Public Debt will contain an
entry of the payment of S2jOo0,OCO Of
the called bonds and of the issue of
52JO00CO0 of the new fives. Why not
take account of all the called bonds which
have actually been redeemed, and all the new
fyes which have been issued Sixty days
ought to be ample time in which to make the
entries incidental to this work. During the
war the Government negotiated the very five
twenties which are now being redeemed at
the rate of two, three, and four million dollars
q dav. and cashcd and took care of warrants
to an equal amount. Why then make moro
than two months work of canCeling fifty mil
lions in bonds2 Give the business community,
for once q Debt Statement which actually
represents the condition of the Treasury and
the state of the cash.

SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION

Baltimore was saved from great and
devastating fire, yesterday, by the opportune
arrival of outside help The flames broke out IN
a crowded and central part of the city. The struc-
lures of that section were low, inflammable, and
of no very great value. The roofs oil the
buildings were of wood, and the long and IN
tense heat had dried the shingles to tinder
1t is even said that, so combustble were
these roofs, the flames leaped the
streets and rushed across open spaces
leaving tho lower portions OF the
brick houses almost untouched Then, IN
the district burned over, there were numer-
ous small manufactorics-lik those of sashes
and doors-tempting food for flamesj and
these belped to spread the destruction which
was abroad. A glance at the map printed on
another page will show how the fire was un-
fortunately situated with reference to speedy
spread of its brands through the city.
Fortunately, Baltimore, which had some
wears ago a fearful visitation from the names
has been saved from any repetition OF that
great disaster. The area consumed Is equal 10
about ten blocks but the loss IS comparatively
small. being about 100000. The famous
cathedral the costly churches, and other pub
lie buildings, have been left almost untouched
It is possible that the experience may yet be
worth the burned half million. The short
supply of water, the dangerous nature OF the
building materials used in the burned district
and other features Of the event, will attract
attention and be made useful in providing
hereafter against fire. The arrivals from
Washington and Philadelphia were most OPP
por,une, and the Monumental City has abnn-
dant reason to be grateful for its eftectual
deliyerance from a great calamity.

We have already mentioned that there is now a
great discussion in religious circles OF rho
question whether clcrgymeu should marry young
This appears to be going on without any abatement
Most of the religious newspapers have engaged IN
the controversy and some Of them vigorously oppose
early marriages. and one journal declares that the
Young clergymen Of the Episcopal persuasion
show "a widely-preyailIng, unwise, imprudent'
and both personally and Tor the Church most IN
furious, all-absorbing passion for matrimony" II a
liberal use of adjecliyes could seto the matter we
might now consider 1t settled BY this epitncucal
writer. But perhaps the young cierymen, and
especially such of them as are IT, love, may have
something to say about the decision. Christianity.
which abolished the rest Of tho Olympiaus, has e1t
Cupid and Uymen as vigorous and industrious az
ever II We are 10 have prcstly cclibacy' there Is
nothing more TO be said; but II ccrgym'n are to
marry at all, why compel them to wait until tho
bloom and freshness Of youth are gone not only from
themselves but from the objects Of their honorable
and pure ancction7 WHAT right has any journal
to speak disrespcctfnlly Of a passion for mltr-
mony ?" Isn't an honorable passion or rather
isn't it n c7editab!o instinct We are for leaving
the young Teyegclds TO settle this matter for them
selves without the Interference Of the elders.

We are glad to observe, in the reports Of the
doings of the Health Board decided move
ment in the direction of the Fulton Market
nuisance. The demolition of the booths about
Washington Market, so far as it goes, is wise,
sensible, and popular. = But not word
of +. objection y applied to this nuisance
can be withheld from the greater abomina-
ton of Fulton-st. and vicinity. Not only is
the air poisoned by the reek of the refuse
which there accumulates, but the thoroughfare
is virtually given up to the squatters thereon
The throngs of people and vehicles-half
Brooklyn pouring by, morning and even
ing -1equire q wide street; the widest

commodious. The Broadway stages, two lines
of street cars, and other regular traffic on
wheels, combine to keep the principal avenue
to Brooklyn a perpetual jam. But in addition
to all this obstruction, the street has been
narrowed twelve or eighteen feet by
building hucksters' booths from the mid
die of the sidewalk into and across
the cutters. The great rookery of a
market is sore and plague-spot; it is
surrounded by a spreading nuisance If the
City owns these sidewalks, cutters, and
streets, why not clear them OFF for travelY
If it does not, is there any good reason why
any public way may not be preemptod and
used for trade purposesf

On another page Of THE TRIBUNE, to-day,
we publish some portions OF q long letter
lately addressed TO the Temperance Associa-
tions which convened at Albany, by Mr.
Gerrit Smith. The experience and discretion
of the writer entitle him to a careful atten-
ton; and the subiect-The Province Of Gov
ernment as it Relates to PrOhibition-is one OF
great interest. Mr.. Smith believes that society
can and should protect itself against drunk
enness: but it must be reinforced by Govern
ment in the suppression of the public vice Of
intemperance. In other words. he would not
have Government make inquisitiOn from house
to house, but he would have the dram-shops
suppressed. Naturally, therefore, he believes
in neither Civil Damages Law nor Local
Option.
New-York tribune., 1873-07-26

The new Board of Education gave cause for
crave dissatisfaction within the schools soon
after it was organized, for Jealous for reform
and for economy, but inexperienced in school
management, some of the members talked
about reducing the pay Of teachers already
underpaid and dispensing with the Normal
College, which is intended to supply the sys-
TEN with the trained teachers it so much
needs. 1t appears also that in its selection
the Board was an oilense to very large pro-
portion of Roman Catholic citizens, who were
practically unrepresented in it. The dlssatis-
faction occasioned by this oversight on the
part Of the Mayor gave an impetus to the
movement of opponents of the public school
system, who now propose to build parOchial
schools in various parts of the city and take
the Roman Catholic children from the public
schools. The proposition does not meet with
great favor and is not likely, if we judge
from statements published elsewhere, to injure
materially the public school system.

We present to-day the first installment Of a
series of letters from Vienna, which Will
describe, with carefully drawn illustrations,
every valuable novelty in the mechanical arts
which is placed on exhibition in that city. 1t
is true that majority of the labor-saving
machines in modern use are the products of
American invention, and many European
machines are antiquatcd and clumsy. But the
best of all that is good in invention through
out Europe, is now represented IN Vienna.
To the inventor there Is scarcely anything
more suggestive than the hints afforded where
another mind has attempted the solution OF
some mechanical problem. The engineer, the
inventor, the machnist and the practical me-
cbanic. will find this series of Vienna letters
peculiarly valuable.

for it is the last Of that class OF street-opeh-

original Commissioners made the work cost
several times what it should have done, by
such delays as compelled costly re-suryeys' 1t
looks now as if the surveyor who did the work
is to suffer for their delays in the reduction
of his costs. although these were contracted
for before the work began. While this should
not be the case, it is matter of sincere con-
graduation that the old system Is brought to
an end, and that the new one Is to have far
trial and close watching, lest it become also
corrupted.

OUR Charleston letters this morning
present in attractive form q statement
OF what the legislature has done and is
ioing. The members seem to be la
boring with commemorate energy to &C.
cOmplish the work before them. The
most serious error into which they are
likely TO fall is that OF attempting to do
TOO much. They should not forget that
another legislature will convene in a
little more than year from this time
aad that something which might be
done, ifthis legislative body were the
las: that could be held, may be safely
left for future action. 1t is
not absolutely necessary that the Code
he perfected and completed at this time
and all at once. There are several
laws whose continued operation will in
flic: no serious damage upon the State
and which it is unnecessary at this
time TO change. II the present Legis-
lature will confne itself to those stat
u:es which are necessary to adapt the
Code to the provisions OF the new Con-
stitution, it will have accomplished al
il was chosen to do and will have de-
served we'll OF the people.
