PIRE DEPARTMENT.

! would call your attention to ths
wants and necessities of this depart
ment. There is no doubt in my minC
that the existence of a large part o.
our town is due to the energies of oul
small and scantly furnished volunteer
fire department.. Statistics of the Ma
fional Board of Underwriters show
that thousands of towns are entirely
destitute, or only partially supplied
with the appliances to extiDgnish fires.
And the record of each destructive
fire is the neglect to purchase the re-
quisite material, and the consequence
is a town laid in ashes, or its business
portion destroyed, and all its thrifty
business men and manufacturers in
volved in financial ruin. Should no.
those startling facts give rise to the
question 10 the minds of those in
authority. What is my duty in the
premises? Am liable at any mo
ment to witness the total destruction
of the hard earnings of a life time
through the negligence or penurious
ness of those whose duty it is to make
the necessary provisions for the safety
of our lives and property? There should
be constructed this year several new
cisterns in various parts of the town.
For the number, location and size
your judgment will come to a solution
OF the question. The question of sup.
ply of hose, the Chief Engineer will,
from time TO time, inform you of the
necessities of his department. The
size OF the town, its wealth in mer-
chandise and manufactures, would seem
to demand the purchase of = new
steam fire engine. We have had re
Gently a very strong admonition OF
the wisdom Of this suggestion.
l leave this matter to your careful
consideration, feeling that i have dis
charged my duty in the premises.

South Carolina Affairs at Washington.
"A Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune, under date of the 18th, details
an interview had With President Grant, re-
garding South Carolina The interviewerre-
ports the President as having said:
"In South Carolina the contest had assum-
ed such phase that the whole army of the
United States would be inadequate to enforce
the authority of Governor Chamberlain. The
people of that State had resolved not to re-
sort to violence, but adopted mode of resis-
tance much more formidable and effective
than armed demonstration. They have re-
fused to pay their State taxes to Governor
Chamberlain, and it would be useleas to cell
out their property as no one would buy it.
Unless Governor Chamberlain could compel
the collection of taxes, it would be utterly
useless for him to expect to maintain his au.
thority for any length of time. This state Of
affairs must inevitably result in the abandon
ment of all efforts by Governor Chamberlain
to maintain himself in the exercise of the
gubernatorial functions of the State of South
Carolina"
On Tuesday, Representative sayler made
his South Carolina report to the House. In
bis report. he says: a.r.@,
"The present government, (Chamberlain's)
like its predecessor, has no power to protect
the people, and is so utterly weak that moth.
ing but the moral power of the support Of
the general government keeps it in existence
single day. Take this wrongful support
from Chamberlain's unlawful government,
and it will quickly vanish like the dew before
the sun, and will no longer disturb the peace
of an oppressed and long suffering people"
A delegation Of Democratic Senators and
Representatives and prominent gentlemen
from Louisiana and South Carolina, called
upon the President on Tuesday, The impres.
sion prevails that it is the Presidents inten'
ton to shift the solution Of the questions pre-
sented from these States to his successor,
which, if the leaders can be believed, is the
wish of both parties. '5'sf'
