Tho raptd occurrence of fires within the faat
fow days has begun to excite foollng Of popular
alarm Buoh as has not existed in this city since
tho fer days Immediately following tho Aro Of
1871. This is partly duo to tho arrest Of 1saac'
Aon on tho charge Of starting the fire on thu

unoccupied houaes, whore other 1noaos Of 60
counting for tho uattar utterly fail.
Thia outburst OF incendlarism It 1t bo such,
may bo due either to desire on the part OF
tlioyeH to Rocuro an opportunity for pllnler, or
to that nania for destruction which has often

what of ii? AT the time of his enlist
mens. over 21 years ago. he might have
been IS years Of age; certainly not over
that age; hsAad but recently arrived in
the country with his father, a distin-
guished leader in the German Revolu-
ton of 1848 and an exile, unacquainted
alike with our military system and civil
customs, it is not remarkable that he
should have sought military service un-
der the Republican idea that perfect
equality was maintained in this country
and that ability and merit we're the only
tests for promotion. Nor is it strange
that a gentleman with an University
education and cultivated tastes should
take the risks of desertion as the only
alternative to the dogs life of common
soldier in barracks, rednced to the men
ial sci vice of hospital attendant, espe-
cially in the case of an unnaturalized
foreigner joining the service under the
inspiration of military ambition and
devotion to Republican liberty. But
that was over twenty years ago, during
all of which time Mr.. Struve has main
ta;red, in every communityin which he
has lived, the character of an honorable
and trustworthy citizen; has achieved
distinction and competence in the prac-
tice of his profession; and has held
several honorable public positions, the
duties of which he has discharged with
signal ability and acknowledged fidelity,
and few men command in q higher de-
gree the confidence and respect of their
fellows. Is not twenty years of useful
and irreproachable life sufficient to
atone for single indiscretion; of youth
and want of knowledge. punishable by
law but involving no malicea or wrong
to any human being. and act6ated only
by the impulse for freedom (which in-
duces the slave to break th4 bonds by
which he is held under thet law? We
pity the wretch who would seek to
blacken the character of al enemy on
such pretext; much more he narrow
souled bigot who would usd it to crafty
