THE AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB have petitioned
the State Legislature not to pass the bill against
pool selling in its present sweeping form. Thew
give abundant reasons for the position they
assume, and there can be 10 doubt but that their
statements ought to be duly weighed by the COM
Iuittecs in charge of the bill. SO respectable u
body of gentlemen as the Jockey Club should
have fair hearing and we hope they will get it..

Tribut. to tho Brave Firemen.

The promptness. GOODNESS and courage
number Of children from the burning tene-
ment house on Ludlow street last Sunday
night reflect credit upon the force. The
first thought of the brave fellows was to
save human life. and in SO doing they must
have incurred no little personal risk. One
of them dashed into room filled with
smoke dense enough to have killed one boy
eight years Of age and to have rendered his
brother, two years younger. insensible. and
bore the bodies of the children to the roof
Another carried out girl ten years old, who
was also in state of insensibility, and i'm
mediately returned to the building and
assisted in rescuing woman and five young
children who we're huddlcd together in O
room, helpless with terror. One poor little
fellow, who had attempted to escape by the
roof and found no means of exit had hid
den himself in small rear apartment. and
would have persisted but for his timely dis
covery by fireman who heard his sobs and
saved his life. Seven children and woman
were thus rescued from death, although two
of these are in critical condition from the
effects of the smoke they inhaled.
The names Of the men who were promi-
nent in this noble work are Chief Miller, As
sistant Foreman Thomas Lally and Firemen
Dryer, Grey, Foley, O'Hearn and Cavanagh,
oil of Hook and Ladder No. 6. Their con-
duct deserves recognition both from the
authorities and the people. and it is to be
hoped that some way may be found to testify
the public admiration of their GOODNESS, cour-
age and efficiency.

THE SALE OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The sensation
is the sale Of the National Republican OF
this city by Murtagh to A. M. Clapp, late
Congressional and Public Printer. This
is like swapping the devil for witch.
Negotiations for this purpose have been
going on for some days, but the proceed
Ing was only finally consummated to-.
day. The price Is only $25,0oO. A. Nj.
Clapp Is the nominal purchaser,
but Ex-Secretary Robson conducted d
the negotiations and is a party In
Interest, along with some others OF the
Grant regular and kitchen Cabinet. The
change involves clean sweep OF the
present editorial staff. The new move.
ment is regarded as looking to the Presi-
dental election of 1880, and is probably
a part Of the intrigue by which Graut
was made SO conspicuous at Philadel-
phia before sailing for Europe, and
which eliminated the other day in Conk-
ling's raid on the Administration. Fhe
paper, under its new head, is not ex.
pected to be very friendly to the hayes
Administration, but MIR. Lynch's new
journal, which is about to appear, will
more than supply the loss.
CALLED SESSION OF CONGRESS.
A movement has been started In New
York, Philadelphia and the Eastern
cities to induce the President to put of
the called session of Congress; but its
success is doubtful. The idea probably
originates with the moneyed classes,
who fear that Congress will remoneiize
silver and adopt new financial policy.
