In an account of nm interview with Hon.
VIM. Pinkney Whyte, an american reporter
gives an elaborate account of the state of
politics in Maryland. The reporter says that
the canal meeting, held last week for the
election of officers, will have an important
bearing upon the canvass for Governor. 1t
has been mentioned that Mayor Whyte has
expressed preference for Hon Henry W.
Archer for gubernatorial honors. The .Ameri-
can writer thinks that Mr.. German knew this,
and that moreover, the cry would be raised
that 1t would be improper to select both i'm.
p0rtant officers from the same section or
county; that the German men hope that Mr..
Farnandis will use his influence against Mr..
Archer, and thus make his nomination for
Governor fruitless quest. Mayor Whyte, on
the other hand, rightly thinks that Mr.. Far
nands will not ally himself with any thing
that is not strictly honorable and that it may
be regarded as certain that Henry w. Archer
will be the next nominee for Governor, on
the Democratic ticket, and that no one will
be able to prevent it.
This is merely political gossip. Mayor
Whyte is too shrewd n politician to tell all he
knows, or even one.half he thinks, to news
paper reporter. So fur as Mr. Farnandis and
Mr.. Archer are concerned they can both be
counted upon to do the right and the honora-
BILE thing on every occasion. Neither are
asplrants for position, and neither would &C.
cept the highest place in the gift of the peo
Pile, ifpolitical dckering were necessary to
secure it or a faint of dishonor rested upon the
means by which it was won.

The prospect for full crop of wheat in this
section is excellent. Oats are growing rapidly
and promise large yield. Corn is backward,
owing to the cool wet weather. but has sufficient
time to mature. provided we are hereafter
favored with higher temperature. As rule
the drilled corn has not made so good a stand as
that planted by hand. A small amount of to-
bacco will be planted this season. owing to the
fact that many have been discouraged by the
prevailing low prices.

The Recent Fire in Bel Air.

Elsewhere we give the particulars of a fire
in Bel Air, which, but for the direction ofthe
wind, probably would have sweptaway near
ly every house in the centre of the town. As
it was, although the wind carried burning
cinders across gardens and vacant lots,
dwelling houses quarter of mile distant
were seriously endangered. Some of the
property destroyed might have been saved, if
the town had been provided with ordinary
appliances for extnguishing fires.
We have more than once directed public
attention to this subject, and urged its con-
sideration, but to no purpose. Ten or twelve
years ago, before the town was incorporated,
an effort was made to induce the County
Commissioners to appropriate sum of
money, to supplement a sum to be raised by
the citizens of Bel Air, for the purpose of
procuring hooks, ladders, axes and fire buck
cts for use AT fires. This effort, like every
one since made, failed The subject has been
talked of after every fire and as regularly
forgotten.
The fire which destroyed much valuable
property, on Monday night, and threw a
number of persons out of employment, again
@dmonishes us of the necessity of providing
some means of avcrting general conflagra-
ton in our town Several appliances are
suggested. One is, for the town authorities
TO procure fire engine and quantity of
hose This, aside from its expense, is not q
practical solution of the difficulty, because
of the insufficient supply of water in the town.
Another plan is to procure fire extingushers,
which require no water in their use, and with
which a fire. if discovered at the start, may
readily he extinguished. We confess our
want of knowledge of these appliances, but
where fires occur at such intervals we should
beafraid that the extinguishers, when needed,
would not be found in condition for use
Still another plan has been suggested, namely,
that the Town Commissioners procure n num-
Der of force-pumps and have them placed
in certain wells Then with from eighty
to one hundred feet of hose for each pump,
steady stream Of water might be poured
upon fire within considerable radius of
the pump. Even ifthe building in which the
fire might originate could not be saved, with
such an appliance in nearly every case the
contiguous buildings might be prevented
from taking fire. In connection with this
plan hooks, ladders axes and india rubber or
leather fire. buckets should be provided -
These should be kept in places easily access
ible, in the custody of the town bailiff-
With arrangements of this character it would
be nearly impossible for any fire to get much
Roadway.
fla force pump and hose had been placed
within reach of the recent fire, and ladders,
&c, could have been procured readily, we
have no doubt Mr.. Hanna's blacksmith shop
might have been saved and the Academy
need not have been injured as much as it
was.
We recommend mass meeting of the cit.
liens of Bel Air to take the subject into con-
sideration.

arc small yet.
