you assigned Is one Of very great labor and

ful OF this manifestation ofyour confidence,
l shall enter the discharge OF its duties
with serious distrust that my capacity
will meet in an acceptable manner the re.
quirements Of the office. ! promise, how.
ever, to devote to your service all the zeal
and ability OF which am possessed. Gen.
tlemen, the maintenance Of order en- the
floor is essential, absolutely essential, to
the intelligent systematic transaction Of
public business, and I earnestly invoke
your assistance in the enforcement OF rules
adopted for the government OF our pro.
ceedings. The large addition to the mem.
bership Of the House, resulting from the
late spportionment Of representatives,
makes this duty even more difficult than
before, and without cordial cooperation
and support cannot reasonably hope
even to discharge the ordinary daily du'iss
OF this office. That you will cheerfully CO.
operate with me in every proper effort to
preserve order and facilitate The business
Of legislation, have no doubt; but, gen.
tlemen, ! shall ask something more than
mere co operation ia the discharge Of my
duty. Assuring you Of my earnest desire
at all times 10 be just and impartial, still l
cannot expect 10 avoid mistakes, and shaIl
be compelled, therefore, frequently, no
doubt, to rely on the friendly lorb.arauce

THE SENATE.
A Glance at the august Body The
Changes Occurring.

From 0Hr Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. G., December s.
In the Senate, while the Republicans
with the votes Of Malone and Riddleber
ger, have the advantage collectively, the
Democrats are much stronger intellectually
than their opponents, but both parties ap'
pear to be deficient in great leadership
The faces Of such men as Conkling, Blaine,
Thurman, Mat Carpenter, Eaton and
other prominent leaders are no longer
seen in the chamber. The Democrats have
ten OF their Senators whose terms expired
on the 4!h OF March, viz Morgan, Garland,
Salisbury, Beck, Lamar, Mcpherson, Ran.
som, Butler, Harris and Coke. They are
all trained Legislators, and most OF them are
able men.
Gibson, who takes the seat Of kellogg
from Louisiana, has acquired an excellent
standing in the House for capacity and fol
Kenna, who follows Davis Of West Vir.
gtnia, has chance to make his mark.
Colquitt, the successor oi the late Ben
Hill, is q soNnd and practical man, who
will make few mistakes.
REPUBLICANS NOT STRENGTHENED.
The Republicans have not been strength
ened by the recent accesslons to that side.
They have reelected four, viz, Anthony,
Hoar, Frye, and Plumb, OF the eleven
seats that were vacated on the 4.h o!
March. Bowen, who succeeds Tabor from
Colorado, has a smirched reputation
Cullom, who takes the place OF Judge
Davis, is keen and successful politician
Wilson Of Iowa, who follows McD.ll, is
lawyer OF marked ability.
TIE CHANGES.
( Palmer, who was chosen over Ferry, Is
rich, and so is Sabin, who elbowed Win
dom into exile. Manderson, who gets the
Nebraska vacancy, is well spoken Of, and
may do credit to the Senate. Dolph, who
takes Growers place, Is associated with the
corporations OF Oregon and Of the Pacific
system. Riddleberger has become known
as Mahone's lieutenant.
Pike, who succeeds Rollins Of New
Hampshire, 1t Ia said, Is man Of more
dignity aud ability than his predecessor.

all veteran fremen, and they are unan1-
mously Of the opinion that iron shutters
have caused greater losses than they
ever prevented. We have, says the
FSrSnaaaa'S Journal, frequently given
expression to this opinion in these col
umns, and are glad to have the fact so
emphatically repeated by so good an
authority as Mr.. Esterbrook. He sug-
gests that they might be of service in
narrow streets in protecting building
from fire raging on the opposite side
of the street, but when employed for
this purpose they should be left open
habitualiy, and only closed when danger
is imminent. A far better protection,
however, is a solid shutter made of wood
and lined on both sides with tin. It
would resist fire longer than iron, and
will not break or shrink away from its
position and give access to the flames.
The sooner iron shutters are abolished
the better it will be for property owners,
and the more effectively will the firemen
be enabled to do their work.
