IebsOls
Chicago is gradually aroused to her dangers
from fire. Careful examinations show that
her water supply is deficient because the
pipes are too small in several districts. Some
Improvement in her Fire Department is prom
ised, and a few measures of reform are in
progress Can we not have similar efforts
made in Brooklyn, where the Eastern District
is said to be in equal dangeri The time for
such reforms is before the fire; we cannot af-
ford to wait for an experience like that of
Chicago. A debate at the Flremen's COnven-
ton on the value of the Holly system of
waterworks will be found of interest; but it
is evident that this means of extinguishing
fire is only suited for small towns and villages
On our first and second pages will be found
very full reports of the meeting of the Church
Congress, preliminary to the Episcopal Con-
vention which meets to-day. The opening
address by DR.. VintOn was remarkable for
its liberal spirit. The Rev. DIR. John Cotton
Smith discoursed against special legislation 10
regard to doctrine and ritual while the Rev. Hugh
Miller Thomson favored it. Bishop Whipple
pointed out that the preaching of the gospel
to mankind was the most important business
of the ministry; the Rev. DR.. Harw00d and
Bishop Clarke of Rhode Island gave their
views at length concerning clerical education.
The sessions open with large attendance

doubted whether Virginia has ever haa-and

more Professionally, energetically, intelligently
and successfully for the interests of the State,
and of Norfolk particularly, than has Mr..
Plat. And yet, although he has invested
largely of his means in the State, and devoted
himself to business pursuits rather than to
politics, because he is Northern man by birth
and member of the. Republican party, he is
to be gotten rid of by Wholesome gerry
mander" if the people of his present district
cannot be dragooned or inundated into the
election of some Representative to the manner
born. Is not this the spirit which this journal
recently charged as prevailing throughout Viz
ginia, and which allegation the Enquirer under
took to contradict!

fact that our misrepresentation voted against

ONE Of the most important bills on
the calendar Of the House Of Rcpresen-
tatives has been reached after q good
deal Of debate over lesser matters. Il Is
a bill to regulate commerce by railroads
among the States; which provides that
any line Of railroad extending into or
through two or more States, and EN-.
ploycd in carrying freight or passengers
between points or places in different
States, whether operated by one COM
pany or person or by several persons or
companies, shall be regarded as employed
in commerce among the several States I;
and the company or persons operating
the same shall he liable Cor any violation
Of the provisions Of this net. The bill
then goes on to provide that fair and
reasonable rates for freight and passen-
gers shall be charged by each road.
These rates are to he fixed by board Of
nine commissioners, to he appointed by
the President with the advice and consent
of the Senate The Changers will have
a small finger in the matter.

THERE is a strong desire on the part
of many OF the best and tirmest Repub-
licans ia Congress, who have never be-
fore been temple to kick over the ira
ces. to break loose and denouace the
wrong-doings of the Government Off
cials which have recently been forcibly
apparent to them. They. hesitate only
from the fear of ha,ying the party artil-
lery turned upon them. The American
Congress is growing more and more cor
rupt, and il the few honest members
hold their peace when membcrs of either
party transgress they will be regarded as
equally guilty of wrong-doing.

ic nominee for Clerk of the Court OF
Appeals Is at present county clerk of Da'
viess county, is about forty years of age,
