Mr.. EDITOR Il noticed that in your report Of
the fire on Water street, you remark that the
buildings destroyed were erected only for tempo
rary use, and would probably soon have been re
placed by more permanent structures. Permit me
to say that this is not true of the building built by
me in 1873. There is store or building Of the
kind, on the street, whether OF brick or other ma
ieiiai, with better woTl r finish all its apart
ments. When erected it was planned and built
with the design of replacing The side timbers with
bllck walls whenever those on either side of me
were ready to JOIN in the work and share the eN-
pense. Ia which case the floors and all the inter-
nal work of my building would have remained
precisely as they were when constructed. The
walls OF a five storied buidng-at least fftv-sx
feet in height-must be of sufficient thickness to
insure safety, and hence quite expensive. should
have borne the expense and built of brick but for
the fact that should have been compelled to place
the entire thickness of the walls on my own lot Of
twentysiN feet in width This would have mar
rowed the inside to twenty-five feet, when by
building IN company with Others as is usual it
would have given me at least twenty four feet in
the clear. OF course now regret that had not
built with brick, even at the additional expense,
and loss of space. | am quite certain | shall not
repeat the folly and trust that the experience
of others who have met with similar loss and dis
appointment, some of them repeatedly, will not
think of erecting other similar structures of wood
10 locality 80 central and so continually exposed.
such IS the physical formation of this part of our
city, that its business is necessarily compressed in
10 narrow limits; II Is constantly INCREASING, and
hence the absolute demand that buildings erected
la that central aud exposed locality shall not only
be OF the most indestructible material, but so
erected as to give accommodation to tue largest
amount of business possible.

A Belief that War In Certain.

LONDON, December Is. A despatch from Bcr-
lin says despite all the peaceful statements else
where, news from the conference in high poti-
cal quarters here maintain that the Russa- Turk
ish war is inevitable. Private intelligence from
St. Petersburg also states that Russia IS unaters-
bly, determined to meet Immediately the grevan-
ces which have been already INDUCED too long
fer European peace but she will not enter the
field until she feels able to make an irresistible
assault.
Bismarck and France.
Bismarck's action in severely csnsuring the
French government on account of the wrong
done the German commerce by French export du-
ties, Con iron) causes Indignation in France, and
is looked on evidence of his enmity and desire
to see how far he can provoke the French people.
The Russian Army in Bad Condition.
A Vienna correspondent Of the Times says the
condition of the army of southern Russia is net
satisfactory. Very many soldiers are on the sick
list, in Consequence Of fatigue and exposure during
the long railway journey. Chest complaints are
prevalent in the camp.
The Porte is Willing to Fight.
special from Vienna to Kernan's agency says
the Porte is willing to go to war with Russia un-
supported, If the powers will ensure Roumanian
neutrality, by preventing the passage of Russians
through Wallachia.

Political.

WASHINGTON, December Is. John j. Daven-
port and senator Morton bad an interview with
the President, Thursday, in relation to the rumors
that the democrats are organizing themselves to-
gether for the purpose of inaug urating Hidden as
president.
On inquiry to-day, at the department of justice
the attorney 2eneI al said he had heard of such
rumors, but that he had received nothing in con-
tiImation of them.
1t i. stated that Morton went to Indiana to de-
liver speech at a republican mass meeting.
Another Lie About Blame.
The Boston Herald's Washington correspond
ent nyents story to the effect that Mr.. Blaine
would be willing TO have Hayes counted out, &c.
such stun is unworthy of the Herald.
Congratulations.
The Mkado of japan has written a letter to
President Grant, congratulating the country upon
having reached her one hundredth birthday and
expressing kind wishes for our future prosperity.

There were four hundred employees of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing discharged o-Jay,
nearly one half the force of the entire bureau.
ABOUT lNO-lnluS OF the unfortunate VICTIMS were
women, many being press girls VINO have been
employed by printers. These discharges have
been expected tor some time, owing TO the recent
action of the government in giving the work OF
printing the revenue stamps to bank note com
panies instead Of to the engraving and printing
bureau.

Disbeiieyed.
| An intimate personal and political friend OF
Commissioner Davenport, discredits the rumors
that Davenport brought information to this city
of political conspiracies threatening the public
peace in the east or west or anywhere else. lie
says DavenpOrts call at the executive mansion
was merely for the purpose of procuring speedy
settlement of his accounts, and that Davenport
interview with the president had no other signf
canoe or result.
Contradicted.
! Representative Stephens of Georgia, over hi
own signature. says that the statement that IL
is advising a "friendly acceptance" by the people
of the South of the Inauguration Of Hayes is ut
terry unfouIded.
