THE FIRE LIMITS CASE.
Frame Houses May be Altered Unless Risk
nF Fire IL Tncraauad

kIsme houses nay pc Altered unless R1sk
Of Fire is Increased.
Judge Olin, holding the Special Term, decided
yesterday afternoon the case of the Commission
ers Of the District of Columbia VS.. Valentine
WaIdkonig, involving quite an important ques-
tion relative to the alteration Of frame houses
situated within the FIRE limits of cities.
1t appeared from the bill and answer that
WaldkonIg had improved his frame house, T30
Fifth street, by changing an old peaked rsof for
additional half story. During the progress Of the
work notice was given him to stop the alteration,
bat it was proceeded with until 1t was nearly
completed, when preliminary restraining order
from the Equity Court was issued, which stopped
the work until the hearing.
Mr. Birney appearing for the District and Mr..
Hine for W aldkoniR. After the case had been
argued Judge Olin said that he would not con-
tinue this injunction. He did not think that
either Of the rules Of the Board of Public Works
were intended TO prevent man from so repair
shape from the old one yet IL would be in no
greater danger of catching on fire. In this case
the change seemed to be one that rendered the
building less dangerous to the neighborhOod in
which il was situated. There was nothing to
show that It was more dangerous than before,
and in the absence Of such proof he would pre-
sumo that there was no additional danger. If
THE HOUSE BAD BEEN MADE HIGHER
II might have come under the rule; but there
was no proof that such was the case. Under
these circumstances he would refuse the prayer
provement and would refuse TO continue the In
Junction and leave Mr.. Waldkonig to finish the
work as he chose. An order to this effect was
entered,

The Imperislists made an imposing display at
the Saint Augustin church on Sunday, which
happened to be also the 18th Of August. The
church was well filled, many Americans being
among the visitors. Rcuher was there, sanctimo-
nious and selfsatished as ever. There Is q new
wrinkle Of deceit on his brow since he and his
colleagues achieved what they consider real
victory in the Assembly. Rouher does not seem
to havo grown day older since he fell from
power; there are twenty years Of solid work In
him. The Duke de Grammont, Raoul Dual, the
Cassagnacs, Ernest Dieolle, Pietrt, the noted
chief Of police Of the emperor, were present. All
these persons wore the violet and the blue Mar
guerifs adopted as the Imperialist emblem, and
seemed as unconeerned as though the decheGnee

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: After the repeated invectives published by
one Of our morning contemporaries against the
much-abused Marine band It is quite relief to
read Fair Plays" remarks in this mornings RE-
PUBLICAN. Evident personal abuse seldom, If
ever, wins a cause Since it appears that the
reason why the Marine band is not appreciated Is
on account of performances sTen under bad
acoustic arrangement may be well to state that
the band will give concert az LincoIn han on
the 4th of october next, for the benefit Of the
So uHerers by the late floods in France. The public
will then have an opportunity to judge Of the
criticisms lately published, Lincoln Hall being
the best hall in the city.

In every corner Of the State; the laws are wise
and conservative, and are faithfully executed;

We think that We estimate It at its full value-
the Democracy Of this man-when We declare that
IN so far as he can make It subserve his own ends
he Is o Democrat, bat no farther. During his
active life he has traded on his politics made 0
large portion Of his money upon Government
work, which he demanded ss the reward OF his
allegiance and he never hesitated to fight De-
nocracy when it grstifed his mean, petty spirit
so to do, is we'll shown BY his action In 1855 and
1860 when James g. Berrett was the regular
Democratic candidate for mayor Of this city.
During Bsrrett's ineumbency Of the city post
ONCE under Pierce's adminfstratlon, Davis was
employed TO make some alterations TO the office,
which was then IN the old building on Seventh
street. In o settlement Of the bill Mr.. Berrett
dissllowed some Of the charges, amounting to
small sum, which 30 enragsd this noble Democrat
that he published o circular charging Berrstt
with having appropriated the amount IN dispute
to his own use, and did everything ne could 70 de-
feat him at the polls. To believe Davis one
would think he was afree and liberal gtver 70 the
use of Democracy at election periods, bat BE-
yond that such statement has no foundation.

Late intelligence from Mexico represents
the condition of affairs in that country as
extremely favorable. The work of political
reconstruction under republican institution s
is now practically contaminated, and public
attention is being turned to the work of ma
terisl development. Great expectations are
entertained that Mexico may be able to open
an important commerce with the United
States by means of the increased communi-
cation through the Gulf ports, and espe-
cially from the construction of the lines of
inland communication by railroad, conees
siOps for which were approved at the last
session of the Mexican Congress. Of these
the most important is that for the Mexican
International railroad, which, starting from
Leon, a city OF 10 600 inhabitants, in the
State of GuanajustO, is to reach the
Rio Grande, q distance of 700 miles, and
there connect with the International rail
road of Texas, and thus with the entire
railroad system of the United States. From
Leon to the City OF Mexico, a distance of
80 miles, the surveys for railroad under
concession previously voted are now in
progress, and the line will probably be
completed by the time the International
road from the border shall reach Leon.
The construction of these lines of rail- Dad
will undoubtedly open an immense CON-
merce between the TWO countries, of which,
from its geographical position, ST. Louis
will necessarily be the grand distributing
point. Arrangements are in in progress
which render it probable that in the con-
struction of these roads American material
will be exclusively employed. In the pres
emit depressed condition Of the iron industry
In the United Stater, it would appear Of
great Importance that the control of the
Mexican market for our products should be
