It is very likelv that neither Kobeson nor his man Keifer will return to Congress next year. Neither the country nor their respective constituencies can stand much more of them. The people 01' Georgia are not unanimous over Alex Stephens. The Macon Teleyrarih thinks he is old enouirh and feeble enough to retire, and gives strong reasons why he is not the man to strengthen the Democracy. Uncle Alex will be elected "allee samee." a desire has been expressed in certain quarters to nominate Senator Hampton for governor at the approaching State Convention. A correspondent of the Xetca and Courier ^ says that Senator Hampton has no de-ire to run, and that he is tired oi politics. Attorney General I>i:ewsteii i? getting along more slowly with the .Star Rouie thieves than he did with ??? 1- the political prosecutions. From t lie reports it would seem that his whole fime has been consumed in quashing old indictments and presenting new ones, and allowing the thieves to go out on bail. Hurry up, Mr. Brewster! It is reported that Jesse James1 brother, Frank, instead of assassinating Governor Crittenden, as was predicted, is now negotiating for surrender on condition of receiving a full pardon, not only from Crittenden, but from the governors of Texas and Minnesota besides. Frank was a multitudinous outlaw, and one pardon is nol enough to save his skin. Postmaster Taft, of Charleston, ha.< been bound over to the State Court foi interfering with the State Supervisoi in the registration of voters. The postmaster was evidently so delightec at the success of Mackev that he pro the State governmeni himself. He was verv nrooerlv tauffhi that postmasters are not supreme, anc we only hope that he will be subjected to as rigorous a prosecution iu the State Court as the Democrats wen recently before Judge Bond. The Legislature at its extra sessior should perform one other act besides reapportionment, and only one. I should declare that hereafter the prose cution shall not have the right to stanc jurors aside in cases of misdemeanor "We don't believe that there is law foi such a course now: but it is well t( set all doubts at rest before Mr. Mel ton tries his hand again at persecution Hereafter if he assumes this right, le it not be by virtue of any ambiguity o % the laws of South Carolina. ?o tm _ The election persecutions and tlx seating of Mackey have put a finishing touch to independent movements am ^ Mahoneism in South Carolina. Kadi calism, pure, black and unadulterated confronts the people. All paths out o the T^emocracy lead directly to its door." The poor white man pride: himself on his Caucasian lineage, an( ' " v'man still groans under the recollcctioi of Radical robbery, induced by negr< supremacy. No one who has pride ii his State, love for his offspring, or j desire for perpetuation of civilization will stray off from the Democrats fold, when he sees Mackey and Taf and Smalls and Sam Lee and Meltor leading the opposition, and standing with open arms to receive him and tc make use of him for their own purposes. As was expected, the Radical ma jviil% in run ruiigiibiiuu uvei the rules or. Monday, and put an enc to the filibuster. The Democrats protested against the revolutionary act, but wisely forebore f.iom doing anything else, as it would have been folly to have attempted revolutionary measures. The precedent has been estab lished now that a bare majority can IP . change any rule at any time, even in the midst of business. Under the rule? ;'vr. themselves it requires a two-third? vote to suspend a rule; so the Radicals have discovered that a rule can be abolished much more easily than it can be suspended. This is a unique proposition, but it served their purpose, aud they have never stickled when even the constitution was in their way. Well, the Democrats will probably capture the next House. Then the ltads cannot fillibuster as p.;: . they did so persistently last year over the apportionment bili. Sauce for the JT goose is sauce for the gander. Ix consequence of the arbitrary action of the Republicans in the House, E. W. M. Mackey was seated on Wednesday, despite the protests of the Democrats. The Radicals in Washington are establishing dangerous precedents; but they afe in desperate straits. Much of the North is passing away from them, and unless they can steal a few votes in the South a tidalwave threatens t.o emonlf thpm ir? TV cember. The pretext by -which they have secured this temporary advantage is absurd in the highest degree. After filibustering persistently last session, they have now discovered that the business of the House n>ay be permanently blocked under the rules, and tbev inveigh against any such "violation" of the will of the people, and justify unconstitutional measures by the necessity of the case. In the same way the British House of Commons discovered last winter that four Irish members could indefinitely block business, and paralyze six hundred and eighty other members. But the House of Commons has not yet adopted a gag law. In the Mother Country the laws go down "from precedent to precedent." In this Union the object of the Radicals is to ignore precedent whenever it suits them to do so. SThe Higher Law. On Friday night Caleb Campbell was taken from TV'innsboro jail by a party of men and hanged by the neck. The crime attempted by him and frustrated only by accident, was the most grievous in the whole calendar, rankiug in its ferocity and beastliness more highly even than murder. We cV have frequently expressed the opinion gfe that there is but one case in which lynch law is justifiable. The case of Caleb Campbell was the one calling for the interposition of this higher law. j The crime was not consummated, but | the devilish purpose was in his heart. So that though under the cold, uusympathetic provisions of the statute law, he could only have been imprisoned, yet every instinct of the human heart revolts against any punishment i less than death for such abandoned j beasts. The victims of such assaults j should not be compelled to undergo j the ordeal of testifying in the courts, ; i as this would be additional torture, j J The higher law steps in and avenges ; outrage by swift retribution. Let it be known, once for all, that j ! in Fairfield the white'beast or the! ' _ J ; black beast who strikes at virtue and i j chastity will swing as surely as the crime j : | is proven and as soon as a rope and a j | tree can be found strong enough to ; j bear his weight. ; 'Wo Aci/^o of tVfo Stf?r.T?nntp Trials. When Mr. Brewster bounced into : McVeagh's warm chair as Reformer ! General of the United States, he di- j rected his attention to two quarters and swore to put South Carolina Democrats and Northern Radical Star I | Route thieves alike into Albanv peni| tentiary. lie engaged two PhiladelI pliia lawyers to assist Mr. Melton, and 1.? t-s, v.:^. k aiiv liuuiucx ui law \vio mm. j self. How virulently the S<>uth Caro! lina case? were prosecuted, every one , knows. The law was stretched to its ; utmost tension and unheard-of prac- j tises introduced, more especially the j new-fangled idea of standing aside all i " decent Democratic jurors in order to " pack the panel with Radical rogues; and nincompoops. Ilad the prosecu' tion stopped short of this, and cori: ducted the cases as all cases in this ' State (always excepting the kuklux " assizes) had been done, no charge of ; unfairness or malice could have been brought against the government. We have therefore carefully follow. ed the Star Koute prosecutions to see whether the government would again , resort to the standing aside game. On i Friday the jury was empaneled in Washington, and although much dis^ cussion was had over the right of j. challenge, the matter of making jurors i ^and aside was not once broached. j Moreover, it was held by the judge ?i that the special law of the District of > i Columbia permits a severance of challenges, so that while the government had but three, the seven defendants i ! were allowed four each, making twen51 ty-eight in all. Again, when the panel t; was exhausted, some of the Star Route -1 men were at once in conference with 11 the marshal of the district who draws the talesmen. Does this proceeding resemble in any manner the course of the cases in Charleston? Not in the least. The South Carolina defendants were all t Democrats, and the government atf j tempted to ride roughshod over them. I Yet. here in Washington the defend ants are a Radical ex-assistant post5 I r i master-general and a Radical ex' ! United States Senator, and their Radii i i cal accomplices. Yet Mr. Brewster does not even attempt to make jurors stand aside, while the defendants secure twenty-eight challenges to three ' for the government. Why is this? Is ! Mr. Brewster a hypocrite? or is he afraid to trv in Washington the high LMriesW?Tr-Ui-Ts~TEe united States } practice regulated and controlled by . the local practice where the case is fnnrl Tf* fKii loof Krt fwQ 1 nm* T j <M AV\k* JL4 itfcOfc- WV VX. 1VI V/UL JU^g" islature at once set its stamp of dis' approval upon any such tyrannical and ^ outrageous proceeding as the standing ( aside of jurors. p "We greatly fear that the Star Route ' thieves who stole six hundred thousand dollars of public money will never be convicted. Mr. Brewster's character for honesty and sincerity rests upon the result of these trials, j If lie fails to bring Brady and Dorsey | I to justice, let him never again "shake ; | his venerable fist" at the South Caroli- j , na Democracy. He has proveu him self a braggart, and we are inclined to ' believe him a fraud. Q Bank Ciiecks versus Blankets. The following petition has been pre-: 1 pared for presentation to Congress: The undersigned, citizens of the j : United States, would respectfully rep; resent that a "bill is now before your , honorable body for repealing and* doin?r away with the existing stamp re^i i Quired to be Dlaced unon all bank __ fc - i 1 checks. We would respectfully represent: First? That the revenue raised by means of the stamp on bank checks for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881, was $2,253,411. Second?That the whole of the tax levied on bank checks goes into the United States Treasury and none of it, | either directly or indirectly, into the i pockets of private individuals. Third?That this tax falls almost J exclusively on bankers, brokers .and I those engaged in rapid commercial dealings, and is verv lightly felt bv uiclu, w ULIIV ii. iaii^ ^ai^uiv at au u[;uu the poor, who are rarely in a position to keep current bank accounts. Fourth?That this tax, as respects easy adjustment of burdens, the cer-1 tainty with which it is levied and the directness with which it is all paid into the Treasury is open to as few objections as any tax which can be suggested. Your petitio ners further observe that under the existing tariff a duty of from eighty-nine to ninety-two per cent. ad valorem is at present imposed on j the importation of the cheajjer variej ties of woolen blankets adapted to the ; use of the poor, and a duty of seventy lour per cent, un me inure cosuv vane- j ties of blankets, such as are only at j the command of the rich, thereby | j greatly increasing the price of ail |; blankets, either of foreign or domestic 1' I manufacture, in the markets of the 1 United States, and they would repre- ] sent: First?That this fax is practicably * prohibitory, the duties on imported ' woollen blankets having produced on an average but $1,058 annually during 1 the last three years, or from 1878 to I 1880 inclusive. i Second?That however mnch the < i [ WM JMKJJ VI VUt'aji \\ UUUCIl U1?IIKULS j J j iii American shops mav be increased I; i by these duties of eighty-nine to nine-' 1 ! ty-two per cent. over what it would j < j be if that duty were removed, by so j j much is the above duty a tax on all i buyers of such blankets, the whole ! I amount going" into the pockets of pri- i vate persons, with the exception only i of $1,058, which, on an average, is 1 now paid into the federal treasury. ] Third?That it takes oust as many i blankets to cover poor persons and f their offspring in cold nights as it does ! ( the rich ones. Fourth?That the tariff duty on Is woollen blanket is therefore an essen- "< tially cruel and vexatious tax, levied j r at the cost of physical suffering to the j s poor. " 5 We, your remonstrants, therefore, 11 being charitably disposed, would respectfully pray your honorable body I not to remove the tax on bank checks, I c though we ourselves are under the t necessity of constantly drawing such J I checks, but instead of so doing to re-1 move the existing tariff' duties on j woollen blankets and thus alleviate in some degree the inevitable winter suffering of poor persons, to all and each of whom woollen blankets are absolute necessities of existence. i 0 Thie niprnnri:il is siyned bv the fol- ' E lowing: Charles Francis Adams, Jr.. :r, Quincy, Mass.; David A.

Perry, at, 7 Williams College, Mass. The above is a forcible presentation i 0 of one of the many anomalies of Kadi- ! j, cal statesmanship. "We have already ] said that the people want not cheap ! r bank checks but cheap blankets, and j the learned political economists whose j j names are appended to the petition ! j: have expressed the same ideas much j 1j more forcibly. Over one hundred and :1 fifty million dollars of surplus revenue ' are locked up annually in the treasury ( vaults, and > et the liepnblicans refuse s even to abolish some of the most out- i raucous features of the tariff. Their ; ? plea lias been that protection makes jj laborers happy, contented and rich, c Yet the great State of Pennsylvania, c which produces one-fourth the iron in * the world, on which is the highest j 3 kind of duty, is now convulsed with ? strikes.

Are American laborers cormorants, or is protection j designed only for the benefit of mill- t owners? The latter alternative must beacceptcd. The profits arising frcm I the tariff swell the gains of capital but leaves labor to weep.

Jame H. Rion? He Thinks the State Had Better Compromise. As Judge Bond has decided in favor f the validity of $1,800,000 worth of! lue Kidge Scrip, which was made j eceivable for taxes by the Radicals,} :?e status of the whole affair cannot j ut be of interest to the taxapayers atj irge. We therefore publish in full an j uterview held by a reporter of the j fetes and Courier with Colonel Rion, i ne of the attorneys in the case: Reporter: I see you arc one of the awvers for the holders of the Bine iidjre Railroad bond scrip, in the case ecently decided in Charleston. Colonel Rion: Yes, I have been conlected with the case from the very beinning. After Judge Melton had dcided the Blue Ridge State-guaranteed >onds to be a legal and constitutional -sue and no appeal was taken from lis decision, and subsequently these i >01 ids were exchanged for the scrip ' about 84.1100,0:mj bonds for $ 1.800.000 crip.) and nearly all the scrip had 1 >as>ed into the hands of innocent hold- i rs for value (bribers and bribed iiavng unloaded.) a ca.-e was gotten up >y the Republican officials (the Auditor vs. the Treasurer) to enjoin the reeptiou ol" the scrip. Thi-, I suppose. i'si$ a part of the original robbery clieme. 1 intervened by petition for Jessrs. Southern, Shiver. Swafiield. Steers and others, and made a bona i'fe defence to the action. Judge delton decided again-t inc, and on ppeal the .Supreme Court decided that he scrip was "bills of credit," having ofore them a beautiful colored engraved bank bill looking scrip in delominatious of $5 and $10. This de:ision is found in the Fourth South Carolina Reports. It refers to a deision in a prior case in same volume, tnd the decree in that prior case refers to Judge WilhmVs decision in the ater case. I cannot explain the inachronism. 1 only know I took * ' ' - * X Jl.. l?A >art in me nrsc argument mauu ociuru he Supreme Court. Reporter: Is not this fancy scrip on speak of the kind involved in the ase before Judge Bond? Colonel Rion:. Xo, sir! Look at his. Docs this look like a bank note? Colonel R. exhibited a plainly printed ertificate to be received as $1,000 for axes, printed 011 common white paper l little larger and much broader than i bank note, and signed by Xiles G. barker, State treasurer.) This, you >bserve, is Xo. 1 of the issue. This is he original genuine authorized issue. VI1 the scrip in our case before Judge 3ond is of this kind. Patterson got of wo other sets of fancy engraved scrip, jach for the full $1,800,WO. If the state has any of this to invest except vhere a bona fide exchange with the ?tate can be proven it will not be with ny aid or consent. Reporter: "What do yon think about Fudge Bond's decision and about the ;ase generally? Colonel Tiion: You ask me to give a 'Historv of the War," but I will give ,-ou some points: * - x ? - r iL. .1' i\.s to ilie nisiorv ui me urijini ui :his scrip I concur in any wonls of lcnunciation that can be strung togetli?r. It was "conceived in fraud," ?fcc. irou must bear in mind that the parent ivas the Act authorizing" the Si,000,000 lid bonds, which itself was the child )fthe Legislature, "Honest John" and jo-conspirators being the accouchers. Rut when you come to Messrs. Wesley, Williams, Steers and others, who paid lown good honest money, or did hard ivork for what they regarded legal >bligations of the State, you have an>ther set of people to deal with. I consider the decision in the Supreme Court (except as regards Justice Wiliard) as a part of the originally planned game of robbery. And allow fne to tell you, in my opinion the Supreme Court of the United States will 50 regard it. That decision will have little weight tvith the United States Supreme Court, [tr^rtainlv does not .bind them, The. lifferent scrip, aha the United States snrwomo paiu?f tlmII nr*f cfofa VII'V VVUil TT in IJVfc UtliV IT t* k-'UCHV :o pass a law impairing: the obligation :>f contracts any more by its judiciary than by its Legislature," and especialy so when the State itself is a con"racting party. Besides, the United States Supreme 2ourt has decided I hat a promissory lote given for ''bills of crgflit" is void ib initio. In a case I brought before he Supreme Court, Bank vs. Railroad Jompany, (in 5th South Carolina, I bink,) I insisted that the note was *oid because given for the scrip which ia'l been decided to De bills of credit, rhe Court decided the note to be valid, aking good care to suppress all menion of my main ground of objection. Jut I have the brief in full, and it hows virtually the Court overruled heir former decision. Doirt you see he point? Patterson & Co. had sold crip lor promissory notes, (,tne cause >f action was for $7,000 of Neagle's crip, sold through an agent.) If these totes were held to be void, a part of he fruit crop would fail. I ain sorry to see the legnl grounds akeu by the Heirs and Courier and ither papers. This may lull the people of the State into a fatal security, t will not do to decry Judge Bond as judge. "When it eotnes to the deeis3ii of a civil case, especially one renting to bonds issued by States, Connies or railroads, or substituted obligaions, you will find that he decides ccording to the law, and you will nd it not easy to have him reversed at Vashington. Judge Bond is one of lie quickest and ablest ind<ros I have ver practised before. If ranked with lie present Supreme Bench lie* would e placed high up. So do not take it or granted that he will be overruled. The State of South Carolina (you lav say "the Republican State," "all ight, but it was "the Stute") has lade a contract to redeem its guaranty ?ith scrip and to receive that for taxes, t will be allowed by no legislation, or ecisions of its courts, to evade this Dntract. It is intimated by our press that the 'nited States Courts cannot enforce ndge Bond's decree. Has it ever eard of Pickens or Oconee counties? [andaniusor injunctions by the Unit1 States Courts not enforceable jainst individuals holding State EEces! This is new to a reader of the ie recent decisions of the United tates Supreme Court. "Why, read the ity of Louisiana (Mo.) vs. the United lates in last Otto, where the city was nnpelled to assess and levy a special x of ten mills per annum, or near lat amount. Have not the United tates Courts often enjoined the colctionofatax upon tender of what ley had decided to he legally receivae for the tax? Only last month the nited States Supreme Court (Field, ,) delivered a decree requiring a ate Court of Louisiana to issue, a aiidamus compelling the collection 'a tax bv the City of New Orleans, 1 a 1 i. I ^ . ___1 * ^ T ! .1 ^ i ?i mat, u>o, wiicii me legislature 01 e State had inhibited the courts of e Suite from issuing a mandamus. Reporter: What would you advise? Colonel Rion: I would say, don't let e people be lulled into a fatal securi- ; ; but let the State look the danger uare in the face, and while the case delayed by the appeal make some j' mpromise arrangement. After the |' peal it will be too late to offer com- j omises, unless I am very much mis- i ( ken. 1 advised this very course with i \ e bills of the Bank of the State, when j' cvas of counsel for the State, ana beived the bills would be declared to i ve ceased to be binding obligations j ler the expiration of the charter oi" j ( e bank.

The Speaker Carries Out the Desperate Game of the Radicals. Special to the News and Courier. Wasixgtox, May 29.?On theassem-1 bling of the House at 11 o'clock, when j Mr. Reed called up his amendment to j the rules, the Democrats made two or I three dilatory motions. A vote was j had on the first and a quorum devdi 17 p/vh^ Uan-lAiihiii'ir and I JUOU AH lia* , Fulkerson voting. Pending a vote on ; the second Democratic motion, Reed I made the point of order previously | published in the JNews and Courier,[ to the effect that dilatory motions were i out of order on making a rule, and the ; Democratic side demanded time to debate it. Mr. Reed offered half an | hour to each side. Mr. Randall ob-: jected to binding the Democrats to a j special time, although no unnecessary i delay was desired. After discussion j Mr. Randall lutt it to the Speaker to decide, and he, at the suggestion of Mr. lteed, said he would not cut off; debate until each side had at least an ! hour for debate. Mr. Keed spoke in j ! support of his point of order, and Mr. j Randall against it. Mr. Kasson spoke i in favor. Mr. Carlisle against, Mr. i las-' I kell in favor, Mr. Blackburn against, j j Mr. Robeson in favor, Messrs. Cox. i j Hooker and McLane against it. Sev- j I eral other Republicans were to sp:*ak, | ; but after Mr. Carlisle's magnificent j argument and Mr. Cox's overwhelm-; : ing reply to Mr. Robeson they did not; attempt to justify their position, but stolidly relied on the Speaker's partisanship ami obedience to Mr. Robeson. Mr. McLane spoke and Mr. llazelton followed hiui in support of Reed's point, inveighing against ex-rebels and I ! accusing the Democrats of striking on ! all occasions possible at the heart of | the government. -, Mr. Reagan spoke-against tiieKepuo-1 lican position. Mr. Robinson, of Massachusetts,j supported Mr. Reed, "hinting bitterly ; that fifry members held seats by the | false affidavits of Governors of States, lie made the strongest presentation of the Republican side yet heard. Mr. Randall spoke again a few minutes, quoting a decision of Speaker Keifer in this Congress directly antagonistic to Mr. Reed's point. Speaker Keifer refused to let the Democrats close the debate although they were attacked, but lei: Mr. Reed finish with an insolent speech. Speaker Keifer, at 4.10 p. m., began reading his ready-made ruling, and | great attention was at first paid to this ! piece of Robeson's work. The galleWAI.A AVI/1 lllll i 1 1UO >Vtl V UIV>?UWU ttl^U UiV AAVU9V ?U>1? lie read precisely the ruling already furnished to the News and Courier. It wes haltingly read because the Speaker was unfamiliar with Mr. Ilobeson's handwriting. After the first words were spoken it was received indifferently and contemptuously by the Democrats. Mr. Randall said: From that ruling just announced I appeal to the House, whose officer you arc. Mr. Reed: i move to lay that motion ! on the table. After great confusion for a minute | the roll call began. The vote on the i motion to lay the appeal on the table I showed 150 yeas,_no nays. No Demo- J i crats voting. Three more than a i i quorum. On the announcement of the vote Mr. Cox arose to a questiou of privilege, and, as part of his remarks, had I read a paper signed by one hundred [ Democrats protesting, after a preamble i explaining the case, against the conduct ot the majority and their Speaker as unjustiiiable, arbitrary and revolutionary. The Republicans fought against its being read, but Speaker Keifer after his collossal injustice allowed this small boon to the minority. There was a small sensation 011 the Republican side, but 110 uproar. Mr. Cox asked that the protest be made part of the record. Mr. Kasson opposed it. Speaker Iviefcr allowed it to go into Jhe record, and members who had yet sigued it were given leave to append their names tnis evening. YY ASlirXUTUN, 31JtyrW:?IT*fo^?TOUS6 the regular journal of yesterday having been read, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, objected to its appi-oval on the ground that it omitted all reference lo two very important motions he had submitted, and to appeals which he had made from the Shaker's refusal to entertain them. He had the official report on the subject read from the Congressional Record. He then moved to have the journal corrected so as to include those two motions, (which were to lay on the table the report of the committee on rules and to recommit the report with instructions,) together with the Speakers refusal to entertain them. The Speaker directed the clcrk to! read the rule governing the case, to j the efFect that every motion made to the j House and entertained hv the Speaker j shall be entered on the journal, and he ! said that if the clerk had journalized I A* _ *? 1. ? 1 muse motions ana appeals no wouia | have acted improperly. .After a hot debate the motion to correct was rejected?nays 114, yeas 89. i The debate 011 the Mackey-O'Connor j contest was then resumed, several I members participating; Tiie House adjourned at five o'clock, to assemble at eight.

The Springfield Assembly sent greetings to Atlanta, and requested that body to send delegates. The greetings were warmly received and responded to, but the proposition to unite and send delegates resulted in an animated discussion which lasted several days. Finally a committee,'was appointed to act in conjunction with the committee ; on foreign relations, to- take into con- i sideration the proposition from Spring- 1 field. This committee drafted a re]>ort which was submitted to the Assembly, ! counseling union under certain condi- < tions, which was approved with but ; few dissenting voices, and the condi- 1 tions telegraphed to Springfield. There 1 they were received in a kindly spirit, and messages returned expressinjrgrat- 1 ification at the action of the Atlanta { Assembly, and an expression of regret 1 for any estrangement that had existed ' in the past, or unkind expressions that ' might have been indulged in as reflect- 1 ing upon the Southern Church, which ( friendly expressions were accepted in 1 the same spirit by the Assembly at i 1 A ^ 1 a fn n n aJ f K a a f kaa/\ t w? i linf i ( ^vuaiiia aiiu mi Jiaiiu wi icu/iiLiijauvu v was extended.

On the last day of the session, j i Monday, the matter was again taken j t up at Atlanta, when some of the dele-1 t [rates manifested a disposition to recon- ! n sider the action taken on the ground j c that the messages from Springfield t were either phrased in duplicity or j i were not fully understood, but it was I 1' decided that it was too late to re-open i c the question and i:he action takpn must j *' >taud.

[From tlie Fireman's Journal] Tho danger to which the pupils of public schools in large cities anutowns are constantly exposed, 0:1 account of the crowded condition of such buildings and the liability of a panic occurring in the event of an alarm of lire being raised, has in only exceptional cases been fully appreciated, and even when the danger has been recognized, litrle or nothing has been done to provide for or counteract the same. This state of a Hairs may. perhaps, be accounted tor by the fact that members of school boards, as a general thing, know a great deal more about the contents of ancient histories that they do about the practicalities of lite in the nineteenth century. School houses are now seldom built as they should be built, and. as a consequence, danger continually menaces their inmates. A tire is liable to break out at any moment, and owinir to tlie presence of innumerable tlacs for hot and cold air, which are almost always made of wood, llames are ant to seize upon such a structure in a very "-short time. Wooden staircases, which make an au^le every few feet, and lonjr halls or passages lead to the various rooms, and it i< a mysterv that more lives ol" school chMdreu than are i'?t by tire arc not sacrificed. Few boys or girls have passed through the public schools without having been more lhau once disturbed bv an alarm of lire, usually false, we will admit, but none the less dangerous. IJoys like exeitemcnt, and. glad of excuse to vary the wearisome monotony of school life, accept the slightest intimation of tire, and try to induce a panic. A putt of smoke from a register is enough to send ; hem-rushing pell-mell downstairs. v>ome school buildings arc naturally less likely to burn than others, aitnougn none arc any too well constructed: but there is no reason why lives should be lost when a lire does break out. By employing some system in the management of the inmates, nearly all danger from this source can be obviated, and there is sufficient cause to employ system of this kind. The fire hazard in school buildings is very great, and few last many years betore they are swept away by flames. A resolution has been offered before the New York Board of Education that the principals of the several schools cl.nl! Mil/lot* till* U(1U iiUpUl mitllUO CIKH J j UiiUU! vitw i.t rection of the superintendent, train the pupils in their charge, so that they may be able to leave the building. in an emergenev, in the shortest possible time, without confusion or panic. Ever since the occurrence of a lamentable panic, which was caused in one <>t the largest schools of the citv> many years ago, by an alarm of fire, and whereby many children lost their lives, the teachers have done more or less on their own responsibility to drill their scholars in marching in regular line, so as to prevent confusion. The panic referred to was unnecessary, there being no fire; but it was exceedingly disastrous in its results. In the schools of Louisville, we believe, an admirable svstem of tire drills exists. Thn same practice obtains elsewhere in a few places, and indeed we described some mouths a;ro the fire extinguishing brigade which had been organized among the older schools of a h r;'c Western school. A regular tire company was maintained on each floor, under the control of the usual officers, and all under the authority of the IL'ilUilUI i IIP Wi^'C w. j,.... ized to fight a fire should one bieak out. The idea was, of course, well intended, but its value is to be doubted. The most that can be expected of the pupils is to so conduct themselves that their safety may be assured. It would be a ven simple matter for the teacher of a school to make his or her pupils adopt some method of marching to and from classes and from the building after the work of the day has been done. Then, should a fire break out, if, instead of raising a general alarm, announcement of the fact was convey some ruse the scholars dismissed without a suspicion of what was occurring. The first knowledge the majority of them would obtain of the fact that the building was 011 fire would be after they had reached the ground and were beyond all danger. Should a school of three thousand pupils be dismissed without order, the weak would inevitably be trampled upon by the strong. Chiefs of fire departments in towns where no system of this kind is in ulmii)/) nnviincHv rrwtmtnoMrl ifo advantages to the school authorities. The same plan might be enforced in large factories where numerous girls ami women are employed. If it is possible, and it undoubtedly is, to preserve the safety of children and unsuspecting liiris and women by the exercise of a little ingenuity and patience in drilling them to observe order in their going'out and their coming in, it is a pity that grown folks will sacrifice their lives when a modicum of selfpossession in the presence of danger would, in nine cases out of ten, enable them to escape unharmed. Sclf-pos session and method will freauently accomplish wonders. Thegr^t trouble in protecting' mill property and similar establishments from tire is in obtaining we.I directed labwr in the lime of daiiirer from tho employe*. Private lire brigades arc almost useless, unless they arc thoroughly organized and composed of cool-headed men of judgment, who will not become panicstricken at the sight of a little outburst of flame. The principal reason why private fire brigades do not do good work. a< a general thing, is undoubtedly because they are composed of men who arc directlv interested in the pre , * n .t. 1 ,1 sol vation 01 me property eimujijiereu. That is, they will always l>c affected financially by the destruction of the premises. It is paradoxical to say so, but it is nevertheless true, as every fireman knows, that when a person is himself concerned in the result of a fire he is usually unfitted for doing! much toward extinguishing it. Take the average member of the best fire department in the country, and we venture to say he would become "rattled" if his own house caught fire. A man entirely disinterested can do much better service, provided lie understands his duty, than a man, just as rood at other times, who would be out uf pocket should the fire gain headway. It is, perhaps, too much to expect that everybody will become so constituted that self-possession will at ill times be maintained. However, training will do much toward overcoming this difficulty. The proprietors of a large carpettveaviiig factory in New York have idopted a novel idea to protect their property from fire, and at the same ;ime lessen their rates of insurance, for such indemnity against possible loss )\* tiro en 11 seldom hft flisoniisoil with mtirely, no matter .what efforts annade. * The establishment is one of iie largest of its kind, and the process )f manufacture is more or less hazard>us. Several times much damage had )ecn caused by fire, and much finan:ial loss occasioned by the loss of ti.ne is well as by the destructions of pro]>y. Spontaneous combustion was the n eat foe to be dreaded, and after havng been burned out more times than hey thought necessary they went to he Board of Fire Commissioners for dvice. The ordinary dangers of such stablishments were made evident to hem, and several changes were made n the buildings so as To make them e?s apt to burn. Then, upon the reommendation of the Commissioners, a urmer member of tlie tire department ras employed and given power to rganize such a corps of fire-fighters nd watchmen as he deemed proper, i. halt' dozen men of experience as remen were engaged, and now, at ix o'clock every evening, this little and of men go on dutjf.
