We understand that the committee on fire de-
partmcnt will recommend to the City Council at
its next meeting the appointment of an assistant
engineer for the steamers to take charge OF the
house at night. There are several reasons for
this step, all important; % There is great dan.
ger of fire by leaving the house unmatched The
lamps are left burning and the heater in opera
ton. From the latter there is no particular dan.
ger, but from the former considerable, the lamps
being liable to burn out, melt down ana drop Il
pile of fire on the floor This has happened two
or more times during the evening, when, forum.
ately there were men in the house. (2) Mere
is at this time but one man in the city capable of
working the engnes-engineer Hall. Should he
become sick or injured, the city Is dcfenseless.
(3) The engineer is needed in case OF fire re.
curing both engines The matter is important
and demands the careful attention of the coun-
cl.-The Hook ard Ladder Truck has been fur
nished with the necessary apparatus so that IN
the future it will be handled to and from fires by
horses. 1t is probable that since the practical
demise of the "Dauntless" Company 1t will be
put under the charge of the Hose Company.

Greenback Notes.

The following extracts from our ex.
changes viii give an idea of what is
thought of the Greenback party out

From the Warren Ledger, Dem,
which wanted the g. BIS aud dem. s TO

We told you something would drop

Gratis and Greenbackers' toes.-
The election Of Chase for Sheriff,
and Weible for Pnothonotary, is due
to the Democratic party. Without
this aid they could rot have been
elected. But this action killed the
Greenbackers.- Last Tuesdays elec.
tion shows that the Republicans are
IN the ascendeney everywhere in the
North. This is net encouraging, hut
facts are stubborn thiugs.-With all
his different nominations, Ben. Butler,
of Massachusetts, failed Of an election.
This wipes out the Greeuback party.
This will not be cheering to the few
left in this county, but this, too, seems
to be one of the facts.-The Green.
hackers have now learned that thew
are nothing in this county without the
aid and support of the Democrats.
The Democrats have learned that al.
though they could not elect their own
ticket, they could largely contribute
TO the election ofthe Republicans. We
all get wiser as we grow in years and
grace-We we're among those wLc
were not afraid ofthe Greenback ghost

ended.
THE Greenback vote has petered
out all over the State. Yet it oeems
to have one stronghold left. The
Third Ward of this city still stands in
line, shoulder to shoulder, and her
Greenbackers are undismayed by the
general caving of the party every.

tor.
LAST year the Greenback vote of
Pennsylvania for Governor was 1853,
and for Supreme Judge 99,316. This
year it will not rise above 10000, and
more than half Of the vote classed as
Greenback is really the Labor vote Of
Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. If
these figures do not prove that the or

Special to the REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 6, 10.
The Republicans are rejoicing
again over the elections, and we'll they
may, for the current is all one way,
and their sweep is made clean in all
the North. The result oftAe elections
this week may be sumrled up as fol.
lows, Pennsylvania Republican major
ity about $4,000, Wisconsin, Repub-
lican majority about $4,000, and large
majority in the legislature, Nebraska
and Minnesota large Republican ma.
joritles on State and legislative tickets,
Massachusetts buries Butler and gives
the Republicans another solid lease of
power, New Jersey and Connecticut
increase the Republican hold on the
State senates, thus pretty securely
assuring US Of U. S. Senatorial gains
next year. And last and most i'm
portant Of all New York gives a Re.
publican governor aud Republican
legislature by larger majority than
we have had for years, the state senate,
which will help elect u. S. Senator
next year, having a Republicans to s
Democrats, and probability that we
have secured all the State officers. The
Democratic victories are in Mississippi
where the Yazoo plan prevailed, and
in Maryland where the Democrats
gained largely, by means of sending
out from Baltimore gangs of roughs,
to intimidate voters, If Northern
Democrats can find any consolation
in such victories rs those, after the
universal sweeping defeats they expe.
rienced in the North they are welcome
to it. The honors fer these grand vic.
tories must be distributed generally
among all Republican leaders who
have worked harmoniously and dill.
gently. But l cannot fail to remark
that Senator Window has gained new
laurels for his leadership in Minnesota,
where after helping in other states, he
took the stump and spoke almost daily
with the best effect. The Democrats
made great efforts there to gain upon
US, but thanks to Senator Window
they were disappointed. Senator Win
doms' state has reason to be proud ol
him, and will certainly urge his pro.
motion to higher honors at the proper
time.
Among others to whom honor is
due, l,notice many newspapers in the
