4 close examination of The Tribune Almanac
for 1871, will more than confirm the favorable eN-
pectations raised by its announcement. 1t is the
largest issue of the old standard ever made and
its election and other political statistics more
complete and comprehensive than ia any previous
issue. The work is very thorough in its details
and has been SO carefully revised and re-revsed by
its Editor, the well known Edward Mcpherson,
for many wears Clerk of the House of Represen-
tatiyes at Washington and author of the political
manuals, that il is believed to be absolutely free
from errors. There l2S pages given to politi-
cal statistics, of which Go devoted to the re-
turns from the various States and Territories OF
the Union for 1876, which compared in almost
every case, with previous elections in 1875, 1874,
1873, and 1872 and in some cases as far back as
1868. Nothing could be more complete; and of
its fairness, the full tables showing the val ious
turns made in Florida, Louisana, and South Car
DINA, are a perfect illustration This compact
volume contains everything for which the poli-
clan will naturally search and besides, has vau-
able summaries of facts respecting the State and
National Governments, which will prove attrac-
tive to every intelligent citizen. For some years
past democrats have been accustomed to rely
somewhat for their election statistics upon The
World Almanac. As this has been suspended The
Tribune Almanac resumes its place AS the only
standard authority on election returns, and be-
comes an indispensable manual to politicians of
all parties The pnce of the book is bat % cents,
postpaid. Address the Tribune, New York City.

The following emphatic letter from ex-Gover-

NEW YORK, Jan. %. 1877.
Dear Sir We have just heard Of The vote in
ihe Senate on the extra-constitutional scheme oil
the joint committee of Congress to decide
who shall he the President of the United
States for the next four years. As citizen
Of New York l hasten at the first moment
after hearing of the surrender of the repub.
lican party, to thank you and Senator Sher-
man and those who have acted with you, for your
gallant defence of the Constitution. In such a
contest defeat is victory for the vanqlshed whose
cause time soon vindicates.
fou are TO be congratulated for standing on the
same platform with Madison, Pinckney, Kent,
story, and other expounders of our fundamental
law, while your opponents are on platform con-
ttructed by themselves on a foundation they have
laid outside the Constitution. In their future con-
hiets the Republican party will know where to
look for leaders who do not quail in times of trial
Very truly yours,
tSigned) JOHN A. DIX.

The Vote i'm the House.

The vote in the House on the compro-
mise bill carries with it the evidence that
it is regarded by the democrats as meas
ure in the interest of Tilden. An analysis
of the vote is too Instructive to be passed
over. While 159 democrats voted for the
bill. only is voted against it. Five OF
the democrats who voted in the negative, or
more than one fourth of the whole num-
Der, were representatives from Kentucky !;
three were from Ohio, three were from
Alabama, aud the rest were scattered
among the other States. The large pre-
ponderance of the democratic vote, enough
to give it a decided and absolute party
character, went for the bill.
On the republican side of the House the
vote was 32 for the bill, and SO against it ;
more than two to one being in the mega
tive. The Maine representatives stood
four against the bill to one in favor. In
all New England there were twelve re-
publican votes against the bill to five for
it. All the Massachusetts republicans, ex-
cept Banks, voted for the bill. The
republican representatives OF Yer
mont, Rhode Island aud Connecticut went
against the bill. The weight Of the re-
publican support for the bill came from
New York, that State giving eleven re-
publican votes for it, while Massachusetts
and Iowa gave five votes each, Michigan
four, Pennsylvania two, and Ohio. lndi-
ana, Minnesota. Mississippi and Louisiana
gave one each. Massachusetts, and New
York together gave just hall the republi-
can vote the bill got in the House.
Every democratic representative in New
England voted for the bill. In the whole
country five times as many democrats as
republicans voted for it. If the compro-
mise fails to be measure to keep Hayes
out and put Tilden 10 the democrats that
voted Tor il will be terribly mistaken.

The fire in this city on Saturday evening,
brief account of which was given 10 your tele
graphic columns yesterday, admonishes us of th,
importance of exercising the utmost care il
guarding against accidents Of the kind by {
thorough examination Of stoves, furnaces, &c.
and also Of the necessity of providing q supply o.
water at convenient localities in our city. On the
above occasion water was obtained from the rive,
as soon as possible, and by persistent and wei
directed effort the fire was confined to the build
ing IN which 1t was first discovered, though stu
ated in the midst of and in close proximity to nu
merous wooden buildings. of various kinds. The
mouse burned was large, wooden structure, two
stories in front and four on the back and was one
of the old landmarks of the city, once famous a.

state. under the management of the late DIR
Nicholas Smith. For several years past it has
been used as boarding house for workmen in
our granite yards. Loss on the house estimated
at about $1,000; insured for $500. The furniture
was mostly saved, in a damaged conditions Gov
cred by insurance for 500. Much of that saved
was badly broken up and will be practically
worthless.
Many of the boarders lost their clothing and
other effects, as the smoke became so suffocating
as 10 render 1t Impossible to reach their rooms
Soon after the alarm, and while men were en-
gagged IN clearing the house of furniture, ex-
plosion occurred which came near proving disas

heads, faces and hands. requiring medical treat

and doors, and sent volumes of smoke and fire
throughout the building. We understand a small
quantity of powder was in one of the rooms,
which accounts for the sudden shock
Had there been much of a breeze, the chances
for general clearing out of the wooden tene-
ments Astounding in "Joppa" would have been
abundant. Fortunately the weather was mild,
and almost perfect calm prevailed throughout
the time Of the fire. The fire epidemic seems to
prevail to fearful extent in many parts of our
State, and has finally reached city. All should
use the utmost care in the management of their
stoves and furnaces, as the difficulty at present of
obtaining supply of water renders any risk ex-
remedy hazardous.
