We suggest TO the city Council that
some more adequate means than we have
at present, should be provided against the
ravages of fire; and we submit that i: is
not good economy to put off purchase
until the city or large part Of it shall
have been devastated by the all-destroying
element. A secondhand engine to be
worked with brakes, may be obtained at
a reasonable price,-in fact very cheap,
and few reservoirs in prominent locali-
ties vii! not be very expensive. 1t seems to
US therefore that the public interests re-
quire that some action be taken in the
matter before long. s

The Congressional investigations now
progress III Florida, South Carolina and
Louisiana, so far as we have reports of
them, afford no reason to suppose that
the action of the Returning Boards was
in any degree unjust. Itnow seems more
than ever probable that those three States
were properly returned for the Republican
electors, and that thorough investigation

majority for the Republicans in several

Rev. Geo. 3. Taylor, of California,
lec:ured in the Methodist Church last
Saturday evening, and again on Monday
evening, upon the subject of temperance.
He has been a long time engaged in the
work and is quite an effective speaker
He made the best expose Of the license
fallacy that we have ever heard, and we
wish he might make the same argument
in the presence of the Legislature Of this
State, soon to convene. His lectures were
well attended and VIC think they created a
good impression. Our local societies arc
doing much to promote the success of this
great rcforlnatory movement, but We fear
that their efforts are not supplemented by
the general public as they should be. The
temperance cause is one that all should
aid, but in doing so it is not necessary
that We should get up a row in the CON-
munity. Lctus discuss the subject in all
its bearings, but do it in the exercise of a
spirit of magnanimity and Kindness If
we ever free ourselves from the curse of
intempcrance it will be through the in
flucncc ofmoral agencies. We concedc
that judicious legislation may afford great
aid, but all experience proves the worth
lcssness Of any law that is not in accord
ance with the opinions which dominate
among men. Our first business Is the
creation of proper sentiment This done
We can enforce suitable laws, but it should
never be forgotten that it is easier 10 keep
twenty from becoming addicted to the
use of strong drink than it is to reclaim
one who has formed an appetite for it.
Then take care of the boys!

Merry Christmas is coming, and before
another issue of TRANSCRIPT will greet
the world with its rising glory. AS civil
ization becomes more nearly universal
and Christian influences produce their
natural fruits, the anniversary of the
Savior's birth is hailed with livelier
emotion, and celebrated with greater
pleasure. To the Christian the coming
of Christmas is something like a new
advcnt-an annual visit from the King of
Glory. On that day may we all feel His
presence, and acknowledge His domin-
ion, and thus may it ever be, until we
meet in the Mansions which have been
prepared for u.s. We wish to all a Merry
Christmas,

Nothing especially new as 10 the po'
litieal situation. The testimony before
the investigating committees, of which
a sample is given on first page, establish
es almost anything except that a fair
election was held in Louisiana. Testi'
mony given since is equally revolving and
conclusive. The democrats are working
for another count in Florida, and hope
thereby to finally elect Tilden. Mean
time the country is looking to Congress
for some reasonable and constitutional
method by which they may be relieved
from the unprecedented embarrassment
in which it is placed.

bers the fact that dozens of criminals
are in prison to-day for having executed
these very plates, we gladly consign
them to the flames and only wish that
the crime which clings to them could be
obliterated with them
The wholesale discharge of employees
(chieAy female) from the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing here has entailed
considerable suffering among large and
worthy class of people. The reduction
was made necessary by the transfer Of
the work of printing the revenue stamps
to the bank note companies of New
York, which, for several reasons, can do
the work cheaper than it can be per-
formed by the Government. But every
such discharge of government employ
ees has, at least, one good effect, and
that is to open the eyes of those foolish
ones who consider berth in one of the
Departments the acme of human hap
piness, and, backed by little political
influence, throw up situations and leave
their homes in distant states to come
here to feed on Government PAP"
The ambition to become a Department
Clerk is neither q noble nor healthful
one; it is life of well-paid drudgery, a
mere mechanical machine, depending on
f" influence" and not on ability, for pro-
motion and even existence. So many
talented young men run to seed in the
Government Departments here in Wash
ington, that it seems pity not to throw
out this warning; and when the official
axe does fall once in q while, there's such
rafting OF dry bones and such an
guish visible on the face of every EN-
ployee whose bread is buttered by Uncle
Sam, that the supposed charm of gov
eminent position vanishes in moment,
and the most inveterate aspirant for that
honor, witnessing this, will be only too
glad to retrace his steps and resume his
occupation "Out West" or Down
East" wherever he came from.
