LET 1T BE DoNE.-some folks have expressed
a fear that Congress might do something for
the country bv fostering internal improve
meuts and encouraging American ship build
ing. They have expressed fear that if Con-
gross took any steps IN this direction it might
result in "iohs" and "corruption" and a great
many other things too numerous to mention.
This is no reason for Congress naglecting
fusing to do that which must be for the coun-
try's advancement in prosperity. 1t wonld be
Just as good reason to refuse 10 appropriate
rnnnav to paw the legitimate expenses Of the
government because it is feared that some of it
might get into the hands Of seams. Anv rea
sonahle approximations for the encoura gem emf
Of internal i'm urovements and commerce will
meet the approval of the American people.
This same short-sighted reason would have
prevented the expenditure of dollar for the
suppression Of the rebellion. Does the nation
regret the appropriations Congress made for
this purpose, although millions of it enriched
dishonest contractors The Republican party s
history is emblazoned with courageous deeds.
It's heroic men have pushed its measures and
policies whenever right and Justice demanded
it irrespective of the consequences. Timid
members have pleaded for policy while her
staIwart statesmen have sent the Republic
"spinning down the ringing grooves of time"
Let Republican Congressman be true to the
teachings OF the Republican genius and follow
the example of those whose devotion has made
them and it illustrious. We should be thank
full to see Congress do something for the con
struetion of the emplated canal between
the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. We should
like to see it put the great Kanawha work in
motion. We should be pleased to see it en-
courage ship building by sending the mails in
American vessels. The party that built the
Pacific Railroad while suppressing rebellion
at cost Of half million per day need not
hesitate 10 revive enterprise and trade now by
encouraging internal Improvements and ship
building.

Mfy-On Tuesday of this week the Senate con-
frmed the appointment of Hon Marshall Jew
ell as Postmaster General of the United States.
as successor to Mr.. Creswell Mr.. Jewell has
rendered himself somewhat obnoxious to some
Congressman because he could not see the pro-
priety of continuing certain officials in position
in Texas and elsewhere. 1t was rumored that
his confirmation would likely meet with con-
siderable opposition, but we are glad that the
Senate fully appreciates the courageous and
honest policy of Mr.. Jewell. We have had the
honor of an interview with him and found him
exceedingly polite affable and courteous, evil
IDENTIFY convincing by his manners and demeanor
that it is his highest pleasure to give all doing
business with the department fair hearing,
to communicate all the information they need
for their particular business, and to render all
the facilities and emoluments for mail services
that he can consistently with law.
On the same day the appointment OF Hon.
James w. Marshall, First Assistant Postmaster
General, was confirmed. Under the law Mr..
Jewell was obliged to appoint his First Assist
ant. He complied with the law by appointing
Mr.. Marshall, who came in under Mr.. Cres-
we'll.

N1~On Monday night of this week Boston
was again threatened with confagration like
that which destroyed $4,000, 900 OF her prop
erty little over two years ago. About IL
O'Clock on Monday night large and alarming
fire broke out in a fve-story building occupied
by number of firms engaged in the manutac-
ture of kindling wood. One building was en-
vicinity barely escaped destruction. the flames
were extingulshed and the people retired to
rest. But it was not long before another alarm
announced the fact that there was another fire
In the same locality. The flames were carried
turiously by the winds, and did great aestruc-
ton to that portion OF the city. About the time
the fremen succeeded in getting this under
control, another alarm was sounded in another
locality. By this time the city became aroused
to pitch of excitement. A number OF vessels
were obliged to cut loose from the wharf to es-
cape the flames. The high tide and strong
wind tossed them about until they collided and
locked together. This fire extnguished, an
other broke out about four o'clock on Tuesday
morning. This destroyed considerable num-
Der of buildings along the line of the wharf.
The loss is estimated at from seven hundred
thousand to one million dollars, most OF which
is covered by insurance.
1t is supposed the fire the result of q con-
spiracy among incendiaries to fire the city in
different localities, in order to make the des-
truction of property as great as possible.

The two men were perceived when the Judge

and the other expired in about the space of an
hour. The one who was not killed instantly re-

Charlie Ross from his parents Their names
were Joseph Douglass and VIM Mosher. Mo-
shier fell dead and Douglass related to Richard
Herken that they were the parties guilty of the
abduction. On being asked where the child was
Douglass stated that Moshier had him concealed
somewhere, but where he could not tell He
stated that Moshier had wife and six children.
but whether he was with them or not he could
not tell. Douglass became repentant, asked God
10 forgive him and requested to see minister
But he died before one could be procured. The
detectives got on the track of these men some
time in October, and in pursuance of information
obtained, the islands and woods in the vicinity of
Long Island Sound and up the Hudson as far as
Poughkeepsie was searched. But these searches
were unavailng. Moshier had been living in
Philadelphia under the name of Henderson, up to
the time OF the abduction, and Douglass was liv.

Our readers will remember that reward of
$40, 600 was offered by the parents of the child
tor his return. But they have endured the an
guish and suspense for nearly six months without
learning anything reliable concerning his where

be discovered and returned to the embrace of bis
anxious parents.
