NEW YORK, Jan. IL, 1879.
To the Editor of the CdledOnidn:
Whenever there is a commotion in the
city, at which riot is imminent, the
United States authorities feel the ut
most anxiety concerning the immense
amount of valuables stored in the vaults
of the Sub-Treasury in this city, the
largest storehouse of public money in
the country. During the late labor riots
the employees of the Government in that
institution were fully armed and equip
ped to resist any incursion a mob might
make on the Government domain, but
happily theiI preparations We're not put
to a test, In order to guard against
contingencies of Il similar nature, espe-

reception of bullion was erected a wear
or two ago, the Secretary of the Treas
ury has had the building inspected, and
report made as to the best method of
strengthening as well as properly de-
Tending it in case of an attack. In due
course of time he made his report, which
was adopted. Within Il few days past a
contract was signed by the Treasury
Department for steel gratings, bars and
shutters to be attached to the building.
Besides this three steel turrets are to
be erected on the roof, pierced for mus
kerry, so us to guard against and repel
an attack from the tops of adjoining
houses. The center turret is to be of
octogonal shape. At the same time the
Assay Office, adjoining the Sub-Treas-
ury, on Wall street, will be protected.
Mr.. Jackson, Superintendent of Repairs
and Government Buildings in this city,
made the plans for this work, and will
superintend the construction. The al
terations will be commenced in very
few days, and pushed to completion in
the shortest possible period. When this
is done, we will have at least one cita-
del in our midst which will defy all
cOmmunistic efforts.
Broadway, despite its publicity, its
wealth, and the care with which it is
watched, is about the worst street for
large fires in all New York. On last
Tuesday night came another of these
heavy visitations, at the corner of
Broadway and Grand street, where, ear
ly in the evening, the fire broke out in
a leisurely sort of way, and despite the
efforts of the whole fire department., ate
up property to the value of nearly two
millions of dollars. The evening was
mild and quiet. Had there been high
wind we might have had another Chica-
go experience. Several large firms were
burned out, all carrying immense stocks
of goods, most of which were covered
by insurance. 1t took nearly two days to

In making long journeys he is entirely
in their power so far as procuring hors'
es and other means of transportation
is concerned, 10 say nothing of food and
lodging. Friends of mine have told
me of coming to places where they were
told. fatty, positively, that there was
not single horse in the village, or for
miles around, and neither threats OF
peIsuasions had any effect on the haugh-
ty governor, or his surly servants. But
on drawing out the Royal Firman, which
they had kept for emergencies, the
naughty official Immediately arose from
his seat, made the profoundest salaam
to the seal of his Imperial Master, and
evinced the greatest possible respect
for the bearer of it, and sOlicitude to do
him service,-while orders were instant
ly given for as many horses as were de-
sired. The Firman is not given except
by special request of Il foreign Amba
sadOr. Armed with this, the traveller
can demand of governors, horses, even
if they must be taken from the plOughs
of peasants, which by the way, is not
done. He can demand as
large body of soldiers as he wishes to
accompany him, and the government is
for his safety.
For short journeys, however, the less
formal teskereh is given, which simply
gives a man permission to travel to GER
.ain places, and he must look out for
himself Even then he may demand IA
guard of one or two soldiers, if he is
going to place of danger.

Young Mems Co. Temperance Society.

| wish to remind the friends of tenn
perance and the public. of the call of
the executive committee of the Young
Mems County Temperance Society, to
be holden at this place next Tuesday,
Jan. 28th. | hope the invitation to all
friends of temperance to come and
bring their wives, sons and daughters
with them, will be literally responded
to.
This will be the forty-sixth anniver-
sary of this society. 1t has never failed
to held its annual meeting and it is
probably the oldest temperance organi
cation in the state. and it ought to he Il
sense of pride and satisfaction that we
have maintained the organization so
long. We can't but think that its in
tluence has been for good in promoting
temperance and morals in our county.
And like all human institutions, it has
not done all the good it might have
done, yet on the whole its influence
has been most salutary. We hope es-
pecially to see all the old veterans at
the meeting. Most of the original mem
beers have passed away; still some re-
main. 1t is requested that the various
clergymen give the notice from their
pulpits on the Sabbath previous to the
meeting. w.
