vIaeIsIA's FIRE CHIEF

Thu t,ouble between the Fire Commits
.,ona,, and Chief Brown Of the Virginia
r;,. Department. eliminated last even.
Ing in Chief Brown being fred out OF that
nosi,iou and John Rush being elected In
his p,sce. 1t certainly 10 to b hoped
that this action on the part Of the Board
Of Fire Commissioner will prove to b .
GOOD move for the benefit Of all con.
earned, including the citizens, taxpayers.
Insurance companies and everybody else.
The writer Of this was for many years
we'll acquainted with the old Virginia
volunteer Fire Department, and as one
after the other Of the old Chiefs and
leaders passed away considered Brown rs
among the best. II not the best. OF those
remaining. His record as Chief OF the
Paid Fire Department has certainly been
n good one. He has taken . personal
pride in IL; indeed, Is q natural. wide
awake thorough fireman he could not
veil help 1t. and the result has been
prompt and eficien. work in time Of
danger, and consequent immunity from
extensive and expensive confasrations'
II has been his pride to be always
ready and to get in tho very sarliesI
stroke toward stoppipg . FIRE. knowing
from his long experience that the very
quickest work on such occasions Va,
the very best. He reduced everything
connected with his department to a yer,
affective system. devotins all his ener
giss and time to II and il at times b
was = little too arbitrary and despotic Il
those under him. IL was through tot
great zeal in accomplishing the exciting
and responsible work before him. Thai
he was arbitrary and despotic in tha'
respect, those who know him best ART
veil aware. He seemed to think thai
he was captain Of the ship, and whatever
srrors hs committed were through ar
overestimation Of his authority and 70
sponsibility.
But the people Of Virginia City
ihrough their representatives the Fir'
Commissioners. are supposed TO know
their own business best. and IN depos'
Ing James Brown and bringing Johr
Rush forward to assume the very ardu'
ous and responsible position Of Chief o.
the Fire Department perhaps the here
after may prove the change to have
been very wise and beneficial
one. John Rush Ii . we'll tried
fireman Of long experience in tn
old Virginia Fire Department. HI
was Foreman Of Monumental Engin'
Company No. 6 on the Divide, and Golt
Hill IL well pleased to speak . word II
his favor. IA q first.class, wide-awak'
fireman he has been tried and never fount
wanting. and II only remains to be seen
no will prove to be as good . Chief q
Brown has been. Perhaps he may be
much better one; IL 10. he will be pro
perry appreciated. and nobody need fint
any fault; Brown will not.

10 California Legislature started In

The California Legislature started In
on Monday. and may now be considered
to DO in full session, completing its or.
ganization ready for active business. II
Is essentially a Republican Legislature,
that party controlling the organization
and TO a considerable extent It's action.
No partisan measures are talked Of, and
the Democrats and Workingmen are not
likely to lose much, except in the matter
OF prestige. The workingmen repre-.
s~entatives appear to DO disposed, in both
Senate and Assembly, to affiliate with
their former political associates. The
situation. however. will DO better under.
stood in q week or two from now. At
present all seems smooth enough, and
little or no wrangling.

THE EXODUS.
MISSISSIPPI DAEKIEs IN A BAD FIX

St Louis Globe Democrat
Travellers arriving at or departing from
the Union Depot, yesterday, must have
been astonished at the scene in the large
waitiug-room. For the nonce it was turned
into a camp of colored people. All the space
was monopolized by 100 men, women anC
children and plantation household goods
! The men were gathered in knots, eagerly
| listening to one Of their number explaining
! the situation, or, as now and then occurred
to the superior wisdom of a white man
| The woman formed groups by themselves
and they were busilY employed, when not
chatting to each other, in attending to the
wants of the queerly bundled up little
urchins rolling ON the floor among the bed
quilts and pots and pans. The police ex-
perienced great difficulty in manipulating
the crowd so that they would not interfere
with the ordinary traffic.
A conversation with dozen or 50 of the
men showed that they were densely ignor-
ant. They had not the remotcst idea where
Kansas was, what kind ola place it was, or
what they wore going to do when they reach
ed there They stated that the crowd came
from Jasper and Clark Counties, Mississippi.
Their rallying point was Meridian, from
which place the;s ARE, second class, was
81 20 eaon for adults. Their agent was
Daniel McKennan-an individual nobody
seemed to know anything about, except that
he professed to be a farmer Mr.. McKennan
had organized the expedition, and for his
services he charged 81 for each grown-up
person, and 30 cents each for the children of
the party. The understanding was that
McKennan should 90 to Kansas with them,
as their 'agent," but they had learned that
he was going back to Mississippi by that
nights train,
Mc4<ennan left last night for his Missis-
sippi home, which he said was at Enterprise,
Clarke Co. Two or three of the most intel
ligent members of the party stated SHAT be
made $l75 out of the scLeme. During the
day several appeals were made to the police
2i1cers at the depot to force McKennan to
refund the money, but of course they could
do nothing i'll the premises.
