IT would be interesting to know what
effects of the recent fire are still visible at
the City Hall. The material traces have
been done away with by fresh paper and
paint. Is there any more vigilance exer-
cised or precautions taken among those in
charge-any water conveniently disposed in
hose or buckets, any portable fire eXtin-
guishers ready at hand, any watchmen ira
versing the halls and chambers both day and
night? 1t is proved that the structure is a
tinder box or rather stone kiln filled with
combustible materials ready for the spark,
just like the old Patent Office. In it are the
well-nigh priceless and not to be reproduced
court papers, title deeds, marriage certif-
Gates, and other such records of the District
of Columbia. 1t is bad enough that they
should be exposed TO the risk of destruction
at all, but being so, it would be inexcusable
to leave them without every safeguard that
prudence can devise under the circumstances
True, an appropriation has been made tt
prepare safe and decent receptacles for all
this mass of combustible treasure, but that
would only make its destruction in the mean
time the more deplorable.

If there has been any change in the pros

condition would Justify the party In nominating him.
Judge Field is personally very popular with all Demo-
Gratis who meet him here, and his dissenting opinions

make him formidable candidate before the convene
ton, as they have excited the enthusiasm of All the
Old-tlme Democrats 1t Is the opinion, however, Of
many of the wscst of our national legislators that II
would be impOlltic to allow the question of States
rights to become the principal issue In the Presidential
campaisn Some Northern Democrats predict that
they woud be compelled to defend the party the

lation which the Republican party placed on the

dence dictates that States rights should he subord
mated In the approaching campaign to other issues,
and the party should wait until 1t shall gain control OF
the administration before attempting to go very in
that direction. The principle would lose of It's
virtue by being resraned for the time, from aggres
sive pressure upon public attentions; for 1t has already
survived repeated violence during twenty years OF
Republican rule.

THE BRITISH IN INDIA

Lieut.. General Sir John Adye has a valu
April on the Native Armies of India"
The keynote of the article is disparagement
of the modern organization of the native
forces as compared with the older organiza-
ton which it has gradually supplanted.
The feature which is pronounced radically
bad is that there is now no Legitimate out
let for military energy and ability among
the 200 O00, 900 of the subject races in India,
many of whom are warlike, and accustomed
to feudal or aristocratic state of society.
The earlier levies. the Sepoys who fought
with such marvellous success under Give,
Lawrence, and Coote, had few English Off
GERS, but were led by native commandant,
and mainly oiiicered by natives. The grad
ual supplanting of this system by that in
which every company was commanded by an
alien, il believed by such high authorities as
Sir John Kaye History Of the Sepoy War]
and Sir Henry Lawrence, Essays who fell
at Lucknow, to have been one of the causes OF
the great mutiny and to threaten the per
manency of the British rule in India.
Earlier writer's like Sir John Malcolm and
| Sir John Munro pointed out the danger of
degrading the native and shutting him out
| from any career above the level of common
soldering
Another fault which General Adye points
out in the Indian Army is the short and un-
certain period of service of officers with any
one regiment, or even with troops at all, re-
sulting from the system of staff employ
ments, by which large part of the officers
are engaged upon civil administrative
duties. As this service is more desirable
than that with troops II is always sought,
and there is therefore constant drain OF the
best officers that can be found in their corps,
Though il is plain that 70 entice away the
best English officers in succession from then
corps by the prospect OF high position
and lucrative civil or other employ must
exercise a deteroratng elect ON the morale
Of the Army from which they are taken, the
practice was continued TO considerable ex'
tent down to 1861, although not to SO large
degree after the vigorous protests Of iptelli
gem OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, ihe lofuo b"h"
hurst and Napier.
The present StaG Corps system was created
by Royal Warrant in 1861. There are thre'
Indian STAT Corps, one employed in ciyi
duties, the second in the supply departments
of the Army, and the third in military dutie'
proper. All of these have regular promo
ton, not as vacancies occur, but after stated
periods Of service, whatever their enploy'
ments may be. Every member of these
corps, whether on civil duty or serving with
troops, is secure Of promotion, aud of retire

waiting for vacancies by the death OF retire

In it is any salve to Mr.. Gladstone's un-
weafied American adhcrents TO put it that
way, we may say that he has outgrown even
such place as the English premier
ship. In our country, where men of genius
generally have a practical turn, and shine in
positions requiring plain common sense,
(Franklin being the great exemplar of them, }
it is hard to imagine man of genius as
impractical for governing as for instance
Mr.. Wendell Phillips would be in similar
position. Mr.. Gladstone, with his vigor of
mind, has undoubted capacity for original
ing, suggesting even, for swaying the frame
of things powerfully, but he has given such
free scope to his vagaries and development
to his independent spirit that his carrying
on an administration - at his time of life
seems more incongruous than Pegasus in
harness. We shall probably see dull and
cold reign of whiggish pectability, unless
war is precipitated by England's paralysis
in European affairs.

HELL0GG AND .spOEEoRn,

The Ere,ung Star, which never misses an
opportunity to misrepresent to the disad-
vantage of the Democracy, last week pub
lished the following
When the Republicans In the last Congress at
tempted TO reopen the Butler ease every Democrat
voted against it, and that stands the same ground
the Kellogg case. Butler and Kellogg were sworn
IN at the time. There are Democratic Senators,
100, who maintain that Butler and Kellogg ioere dd
mitted upon compromise bet,oeen the Republicans
and DeaOcras, aud that the latter would be guilty
breach of faith In voting to put Kellogg out. The
indications that there enough Democrats who
believe In the doctrine of ddjudicdtd combined
with those who hold that good faith binds them to
sustain Kellogg to beat the resolution to oust him.
II the late Garcelon legislature had elected
United States Senator, who had been seated,
such Senator's case would "stand on the
"same ground as the Kellogg case" The
legislature of South Carolina which elected
General NJ. c. Butler Senator was the true
aud legitimate legislature. 1t continued to act
as such uninteruptedly, and performed all
the functions of legislature. Its enact
ments remain on the Statute books, and art
sustained by the Courts. On the other hand
the body which pretended to elect Kellogg
was not the lawful legislature no act OF Il
remains among the Statutes Of Louisiana
There is absolutely nothing to distinguish
its status from that OF the late fusion legis
lature OF Maine except the presence of vii
liam Pitt Kellogg in the Senate. The Packar(
who signed Kellogg credentials as governo
was pretender, and never established hi
right to the Office nor exercised its functions
Emphatieally the Stdr's statement that thes
cases stand upon the same ground is no
true.
The assertion, assiduously circulated b.
the radical press, that these Senators wer
admitted by compromise, and not upon tn
merits of their credentials, is worthy of Tia
organs which can make il so lightly
Stripped naked, the charge is that the sena
tors who voted upon these cases violated thei
oaths, and, instead of deciding according I
the law and the facts in each case, corrupt.
bargained away the rights Of States and III
Offices of the Nation. The Reoofd shows
protraeted discussion upon this subject, am
il utterly fails to give color to the gross charg
Of corruption.
