The GREAT FIRE IN HAVANA By special
correspondence from Havana we have COM
plete report of the origin, progress and conse-
quences of the great fire which occurred just
lately in the Plaza del vapor, in that city. 1t
was a terrible disaster, involving, as will be
seen from our despatch, the loss OF a number
of lives and the destruction Of large
amount of property. The scene at mid
night was frightful in the extreme,
an explosion of gunpowder adding to
the terror which was felt by a popula-
ton already suffering in consequence Of the
advance of the flames and a want of water.
Measures looking to the relief of the afflicted
families were adopted with promptitude. 1t
was suspected that the fire was the work of in
cendiaries but it does not appear that the sus-
picion can be supported by nroof

forces upon the city. in small matters as ri
great matters is only one of the many reasons
of the increase of our city expenditure, of oun
city debt and of our taxation. We showed
recently that the expenditures of the Public
Works Department, the most costly in the
city, had been decreased in one year since the
fall of the Tweed and Connolly regime nearly
five million dollars. A comparative examina.
ton shows that in all the departmental, except
those in the immediate charge of Mr.. GREEN
or under his friendly protection, correspond
ing reductions have been made while in the
Comptroller's Department and one or two
Others the expenses are much larger than they
were under the corrupt rule Of the old 'ring."
1t may be that this arises from the taint Of
Tammany which still hangs about the Finances
Department, where deputies, heads OF bureaus
and clerks are still the old employees and CO.
operators of Connolly or former clerks Of
Tweed, who have been discharged from the
Public Works Department and employed by
Mr.. Green. There is, indeed, strong savor
of Tammanyism, if we may so call it, in tho
designed confusion of the accounts Of the
Finance Department. The Legislature failed
to ascertain, and it is impossible to
discover, how much Mr.. Green has cost the
city through his passion for litigation. Wa
find in his report an item Of between eighteen
and nineteen thousand dollars for illegal ex-
penses of the Department Of Finance )" but
this is by no means all that has been spent in
law. Under the miscellaneous head there
is twenty-five thousand dollars for the ''ex-
penses of Bureau of Municipal Correction" :"
and all or nearly all of this, we believe, is for
the luxury of law. Then, again, there is the
snug little item of Judgments" against the
city for the year ending September l, 1878, one
hundred and seventy-seven thousand dollars.
and we do not know how much of this is for
needless legal costs and expenses. If we add
to this the ''extra contingencies" item Of
forty thousand dollars, smothered in under ths
miscellaneous head we may form some
idea of the difficulties placed in the way of a
correct understanding of the responsiveness of
our present laundering financial management
and its scrub-woman economy.

France After the Germans Departure.


Now that the iron heel is removed from
the breast of France the opposing parties are
expected in some quarters, to fly at each
other with dangerous vehemence. As yet
no such expectations have been justified
The fact is that the causes which have pro-
duced hesitancy on the part of the monarch
ical majority in the Assembly to 60 to ex-
tremes were not, at any time, dependent on
the presence Of the Germans. On the over
throw of Thiers they would have proclaimed
the monarchy within month if they had
had belief in their chances of success. 1t has
become quite clear that the fusion is not o
compromise between sections Of the monarch
lists, as q bargain between the Comte de Paris
and the Comte de Chambord. The former
will find it as difficult to bring over his fol-
lowers to the white flag of the
Bourbons as Carl Schurz found it
to bring his German admirers over
to Horace Greeley. The Bonapartists feel that
they have been made a catspaw by their error
of aiding in the overthrow of Theirs. The
Napoeons have made their great strokes by
coming after the hepubllc Never by aiding
the establishment of the monarchy can they
hope to bring themselves nearer to power.
The conviction is settling deep in the hearts
of the monarchist leaders that every step for
ward they take beyond their present position
will be false one. They must call forth all
the force Of tyranny or be prepared for q
bloody effacement of their rule. The men
who are willing, with the history of the last
ninety years before them, to take this risk are
growing fewer and fewer. When Theirs aban-
doned the monarchy he did so because he
believed the monarchy impossible. De Broglie
and Pasquier will come to this way Of thinking
in time. The republicans have only to be firm
and watchful and to wait. They have been
held in hand by their leaders wonderfully,
and, despite the talk of fusion, their enemies
conspire to give the future to the Republic.

rom with orders to report to the Admiral COM
manding, who is to keep him there until his debts.
amounting to several Thousand dollars, are all
paid. This unusual proceeding has been rendered
necessary by the numerous financial dellnquencics

spain-The Great Battle in the North
Contradictory Reports.

General Moriones has been appointed Cen
eralissimo of the armies of Spain. The report
which was circulated during Sunday, alleging
that the insurrectionists in the north had
inflicted severe defeat on the republican
troops, is denied from Madrid Spanish tele-
grams claim, on the contrary, the obtainment
of very important victory by the govern
ment forces, and state that large force of
insurgents was routed, with great slaughter,
by division of republicans inferior to it by
some thousands in number The Madrid Off
cials say, further, that the statement of
The defeat of the national army was circu-
lated purposely and falsely by the Carlists
the hopes of their adherents and SYM
pathizers. The Reds at Cartagena pro-
posed an alliance with the Carlists as Q
means of relieving themselves from the
siege enforced against the city, the plan
being that the royalists should attack
the republican line in the rear, while the
radicals made o sortie from the town. The
project for such an incongruous amalgama-
ton, revolutionists with Bourbonists, has
deprived the Cartagena insurgents Of a very
large share of the public good will. How far
we have got at the truth remains to be seen.
1t is quite clear that the government is re-
solved to make bold effort to meet the Car
lists on their own chosen ground and to
drive them, if possible, from their strong
holds. Time will soon tell whether the Re
public or Don Carlos or Don Alfonso is to win.
special correspondence from Spain, by
mail, enables us to report the current history

necessary to recall some Of these which would
be acceptable to the American people. Charles
O'Conor is q lawyer of profound learning,
great experience and unimpeachable in
tegrity. The constitution would be safe
under his rulings. Mr.. Groesbeck, of
Ohio, though often heard of in political
circles, is, in reality, statesman "a public
man who does not desire public Office. Judge
DAILY, of the Court Of Common Pleas of this
city, is among the most eminent men on the
Bench and lawyer of sound judgment
Apart from their legal learning, the personal
purity of these men commends them for the
Office. Not stain has ever blotted the repu-
tation of any of them, and all that can be
urged against them is that they are not mem
bers of the republican party. This is not
party Office, and party lines are not to'be con-
sidered for q moment in the appoint
ment of Chief Justice; but in the
republican party there are many men
as eminent for learning and integrity from
whom the President can choose. We ore not
yet prepared to say that we have any special
preference in the matter, and all we demand
is that the new Chief Justice shall be in
every way fitted to the high office and
that he shall be appointed Immediately.
The President can win honor by wise
and speedy appointments he will only obtain
reproach by further delay. There is no longer
any room for pretexts. 1t will not do to urge
that the Senate may not confirm the Presi-
dent S choice if the Chief Justice is nominated
so long before the meeting of Congress No
Senate, however base, would dare to reject
men like those we have named The Presi-
dent can select some other man whom the
Senate would not dare to reject. We have
already said that there is higher power in
the confirmation of Chief Justice than the
Senate. If the people confirm, the President
need have no fear; but if the people reject,
the President will be disgraced in the appoint
ment and the Senate in the confirmation.
The nation would be disgraced if mere poll
tician we're named at this critical juncture of
our history for head of the Supreme Court of
our land and the President would be justly
condemned by the honest voice of our whole
people. Anxious as we are that the place shall
be speedily filed, we are equally anxious that
General Grant shall do honor to himself and
his country in the performance Of this duty.
