The Frequency of Fires in This
Country.

The nightly rush aud rattle OF the fire en-
gineS through our streets give a present in
terest To the examination into the subject OF
protection from fires which was an imme-
diate result in this city OF the late disaster at
the Patent Office. The great frequency of
fires in the United States, as compared with
other countries, has been frequently noted.
Lumber is much more extensively used here
as building material than in Europe,
where 1t is not so abundant, and conse-
quently dearer. The lathe and plaster par
UtiOnS employed, in which fire may get be-
youd control before discovered, add to the
dangers that arise from the free use of COM
bustible material. The crime of arson is
also frightfully prevalent. Insurance COM
psDies, by insuring buildings for sums
equal TO or greater than their real value,
vastly increase their combustibility. Tae

cities, when taken in connection with in.

damage has been done he Is ia too d, ch of n

The French think they haS discovered the
secret of safety in a law which fastens the
responsibility for fire On The person in
whose premises il originated, and prevents
him from recovering insurance on the prop

worked well in France in decreasing the
number OF fires, and Is of value from the ex-

The Administration and the Pablic
Credit.

II is reported that the synd ate have given
or intend TO give, notice 10 the Secretary of
the Treas ury that, in anticipation of the pas
sage of the silver bill, they will decline to
take any mO.e bonds. 1t will be remembered
that In j me last Secretary sherman, In re-
sponse TO an inquiry from New York whether
the four per cent bonds being sold by the
government are payable, principal and iu-
terest, in gold coin, gave the following affir-
native reply:
u nder the laws now in force there is no
coin issued or iSsuable in which the princlp1i
OF The four per centum bonds is re ieemaole
or the interest payable except the gold coin
OF the United States of the standard yalu
liked by the laws in force on the 1i:h of July
lo'O, when tie bonds were authorized. The
government exacts in exchange for these
bonds payment at their face in such gold
coin, and IL is not TO be anticipated that any
futuIe legislation Of Congress, or any action
OF any department of the government, would
sanction or tolerate the redemption of the
principal OF these bonds or the payment OF
the interest thereon in coin of less value than
The coins authorized by law at the time of the
issue OF the bonds, being the coin exacted by
the government in exchange for the same.
The essential element OF good faith In pre-
Ty'1s the equality in value between the
I ee in which the government receives
an nat "a winch Al pays these bonds will be
sS-rci i observed by the gOvernm snt and the
opie of the United States, whatever may
- the system OF coinage which the general
icy OF the nation may at any time adopt.
Icis principle is impressed upon the text of
80 law OF July II, 1S1O, under which the four
centum bonds are issuei, and REQUIRES,
N 49, - tniOn OF the exec utive department of
tae government, the redemption OF these
bonds and the payment OF their interest in
coin OF equal value with tina, which the gov
tEnment receives upon their issue"

ared That Inc yIera PIE ssed In his let

az 1.-The Cabinet. As this was virtually
