Amendment to the Building Law—Why Tene- ment Houses Are Not Being Built—Property Owners on the Rampage, and the Next Legisiature Looked to for Relief. Last winter thore was quite a lively time in Albany respecting the building of tenement houses, The discus- sion did not take place any too soon, and would proba- bly even then havo been omitted if whole families had not been burned to death in the lathe and plaster edifices termed tenement houses. Those events were of too horrible a nature to be lightly passed over, and the people, through their representatives in the Legislature at Albany, demanded that a betier class of buildings should be erected and greater security provided for life and property. Tho aw relating to buildings and the keeping and storing of combustible materials was the subject of much discussion, and received many impor- tant amendments, Section 32, which refera to the building of tenemont houses, was almost entirely re- modelled, and several very excellent alterations in the style of building were inserted. The following is tho section referred to:— Sxcrion $2. [As amended in 1947.] All dwelling houses that now are or may hereafter he crected in the city of New York, to contain or to be occupied by tour or more familiar, above the first story. shall have @ stairway, connected with & proper opening, leading to the roof, and all the rooms on each Hoor shall connect by doors from front to rear; and every such dwelling shall have pl.ced thereon a practical firesiroof fire escape that shal be approved of by the perintendent of Buildings, and in no case hereafter 8 a front and rear tenement house be erected on the same lot, unless the sid houses, and each of them, shall be built fireproot; and in all dwelling houses intended to be occupied by four families or more, that shall hereafter be erected in said elty, the hall parts tions, from foundation to roof, shall be of brick, not less than twelve inches thick, with’ suilielent ventilating flues: the floor bevms shall be ‘of iron, with brick arches turned botween them. All stairs shall be of stone or iron, and in cases where the lower part of the building ts nsed for business purposes of aor kind, the first tler of beams above the store floor shall be of fron, with brick are and in ted, or that heroa: the vellars of sa fireproof materi hereafter be er perintendent } shall have power in determining the method reting halls and stairwavs, the height of ceilings, be less than eight feet; and no dwelling ction, now built, or ave any bay, straw, uilt. shall hi burning fluid, turpentige, cam: plewe. of dny otter combustible material ‘stored therein, oF epton sale, except in atch quantities as shall be provided for by law. “In all dwelling houses already erected in the city of New York, intended to be occupied by four or more above the first floor, the Superintendent of Bulld- all have power to determine what alterations are ry to be made in such buildings in order to @ safe and secure means of escape in ease of fire, and shall proceed therein ns follows, to wit: He shall cause a notice to be served on the owner of said building (or where the owner cannot be found after diligent search for twenty.four hours, the notice shall be povted on the premises, and shall have all the nal service). directins him to make th np, flax, wo 6 therein, and in case the said owner refuses or ne, comply with said order, the «aid Superin‘endent shal upon apply to the Supreme Court fur an order. to pre make the alterations specified in said notice, and all costs. expenses and disbursements incurred in the earrying out of said prder shall become a lien upon said buiiding; and the Supreme Court. tn the discretion of the judge to whom ap- plication shal! be made, is hereby authorized to grant such order, and take such proceedings as shall be necessary to make the same effectual, and to enforce such len in accord. ance with the Mechanics’ Lien law of the city of New Yor) As will be sven from the foregoing section the hi partitions from foundation to roof are to be of brick twelve inches thick, the stairs are to be of iron or stone, and the recepiacies for fue! are to be constructed of fire- proof material, Such were afew of the meaus by the adoption of which it was hoped to preserve the lives of those porsons who reside in tenement houses. Strange to say, however, up to date not one houge has been com- menced in accordanes with the above regulations since they became a part of the laws of the State. During the year 1866 there were 314 tenement houses commenced in this city, and 249 completed, aud this year, as betore stated, not a single tenement house been com. menced in accordance with the official regulations. The reason for this is that builders, speculators and others interested in tenement house propert; in accordance with build a house the law would entail an additional ex of psf seventy-five per cent—an outlay they coal not afford. Thess men ask where and by whom are they to be reimbursed. Rents have already been put up as high as tt is possible to got them without driving the tenaots away, and as they very modestly claim never to receive a retura of more than ten or twelve per cent from their , & statoment which, if true, would of course justify them 10 refusing to erect build- ings at an additional expense of seventy-five per cent on their orizinal outlay, and from which they could not hope to receive any additional return, nine thousand and odd tenement honses which this city contains are at present amply sufficient to ac- commodate all de-tring to reside In such places, and the statements of interesed parties that the Building law of the Legislature is driving large numbers of people to seek a home outside the limite of New York is therefore untrue, as many of the tenomest houses are at the pre- nont time partially unoccupied. This is owing to the fact nts are exorbitantly high, and the owners are, in the recerpt of at least from forty to fifty per cir original outlay, and not ten or twelve, as t formed for the purpose of bringing this the State Leeisiat: t fs next session, and every effort will bo ww modified. Builders and experts aa it tenement houses built according to section No. 52 would be almost free from danger, and even if a fire did break out the inmates of the houre would suffer but little bodily harm in consequence of the fire having but little to feed on. In addition to this comparative safety from fire, the houses would be better in asanitery point of vi than are the majority of those which have besn built on the “cheap and nasty” pian, Altogether, it sooms apparont that last winter the Albany legislators did a good work when they amended the Building law, and it isto be hoped that their ouccessors will not spol it, THE DROUGHT IN THE WESTERN RESERVE.

In accordance with the “ programa,” or funeral cere- monial prescribed by the orders from headquarters, the mortal remains of the late Captain General were con- veyed on Thursday, the 26th, to their final resting place. With the exception of the occasion when General Sher- man paid usa visit end wo treated him with a Grand Review, Ihave not seen s0 dense a crowd of people of all clases, clans and colors, as om the present, Al- though none of the public buildings or private establish- ments were closed, (with the exception of the Banco Espanol, which availed itself of the solemn occasion to make no payments on that day), business did suf- fer some interruption for several hours during the morn- ing. I am sorry that General Manzano died without having attained the slightest knowledge of Englisb, I am told that he had an ardent aesire to be able to read the ‘‘Heratpo px Nuevo Yore;’? and, had he succeeded in the enterprise in time, doubtlessly it would have proved a gre@t benefitto mankinéd—I mean, of course, an faras himself, Spain and the “Queen of the Antilles’’ are concerned. But alas! he is gone, and “we shall never seo the like of him again.” Even the commer- cial bulletins of this city were quite inconsolable at the departure of his lete Excellency and the irreparable lows sustained by his death. It was a prominent occa- sion to get themselves into notice, and they did it in the most sublime etymological style, 80 much so that they could not have done it better in mercanti idiom. I am only afraid that it will créate jealousy enough to lead the other licensed papers to inform against them, unless they can show cause why they venture beyond the license they have for simply-entertaining this com- munity with whi trictly commercial. One of our perfect Pasig be who happened to be present at the cortége of this solemn funoral, was astounded to see the Gobernador Politico, President of the Municipality, riding in his open carriage, quite non- chalant, and puffing away his cigar. The whole of that day was passed by a great notability of color (yellow) in the most ostentatious manner in the world. He was evidently rather self-satisfied with the fine blazonry on his person, and considering that he was once an humble cobbler in St, Domingo, he might well be with the uniform in which he dresses, it being no less than that of a fleld marshal of the Spanish armies. If you have not yet guessed the name, had better tell you; it is Listitenant General Puello, who {s, however, not in activ vice now. He gained his laurels during the late dominion by Spain of a “wee bit’ of St, Do- mingo, and which turned out a most disastrous mistake, As a field marshal, saving his color, he had as much right to be the present Captain Genoral ad interim as any other personage now hero. Although it is not yet officially known who is to re- lace General Manzano in the command of this is- and, the public have reasons to believe, by private cor- Tespondence received from Madrid, that it will devolve upon General Calonge. It is mot expected now that Goneral Lorsondi will accept of the appointment, as from his influence, he is no doubt more inclined to ac- copting the Presidency of the Council of Ministers at jadrid, In a fow days will commence the enlistments for the disciplined cavalry militia of Havana. ‘The service is not voluntary, although it is free of the charactor of the “quintas,"’ practised in Spain for tho enlistments of the army.

Cinaassati, Sept, 30, 1867. Cortainly the most singular feature of the campaign 1m this State is the contest here between two thorough going radicals for the position of Congressman—one the legitimate nominee of the party, the other a so-called workingman’s candidate—but bolding no less advanced views about negro suffrage, &c., than his regularly chosen rival Bots are being freely offered all over the city that the independent champion will beat the regular candidate, The latter, whose name is Richard Smith, relies wholly for his support on the class of republicans who advocate all the extreme measures broached by tho party. Genoral Cary is an intense radical, but professedly op- posed to the exemption from taxation of government bonds, The title of General was earned in the peaceful walks of life, as commander, wo believe, of some tem- perance brigade. Wh the pominating convention met it became at once apparent that Smith would be the unanimous selection, on learning which Cary very adroitly eent in a letter declining a nomination, thus giving him an opportunity to’withdraw. His friends next went to the democratic managers, who had no candidate of their own, and proposed Cary for their re- \presentative. This was accepted, with the understand- ing that the democratic nominees for treasurer and re- Presentatives in the State Legisiature should be sup- ported by Cary’s republican friends, In this extraordi- Bary compromise both parties seem to have heartily ‘agreed, and the democrats, who, unaided, could never hope to carry this radical stronghold, are beside them- selves with joy at the prospect of electing their treasurer to an offics worth forty thuusand dollars @ year, and their representatives to the State Legislature.

The political campaign in Ohio, which commenced about four months since, is rapidly drawing to a close, The election for Governor, State and county officers, and for members of the State Legislature ta.es place one week {rom to- da; ‘The canvass bas been an active one, and increases im interest and intensity the nearer the great day of decision approaches. The mas:es of the democratic party are thoroughly aroused, while general apathy pervades the ranks of their opponents, Through- out the State democratic meetings have been largely attended, while the republican gatherings have beon, as arule, few in numbers and wanting in enthusiasm, There can be no question that the democratic speakers have the ear of the mass of the people, both democrats and republicans, ‘The large mass meetings held during the past week in Central Ohio have far eclipsed those of the republicans, The last of this sorics of meotings took piace im this city yesterday. it was the largest, most imposing and en- ‘thusiastic political gathering ever assembled 1m Central Ohio. The people came hither in vast numbers, not only from this (Franklin) county, but from Delaware, Licking, Fairfieid, Pickaway, Madison, Muskingum, and from all the counties in this section of the State, The procession, when formed, was about am hour in passing any given point, and consisted of persons on foot, on horseback and in vebicles of every description, with branches of troes and flags ad banvors waving. There were large wagons filled with young ladies and girls dressed in white, waving flaga, and representing the thirty-eight States whieh, as Democrats allege, com- pose the American Union.” ‘The sireets through’ which tbe procession passed wero thronged with peuple, and the buildings adorned with flags aud banners, Bands of music preceded and were interspersed im the pro- cession. One of its novel features was the “White Boys in Blue,” who marched at its head. This is an organization’ composed of men who wero in the land or naval service during the’ late civil war, and who have been honorably discharged. Associa. tions of these “White Boys in Biue’’ have been formed inall the counties of Central Obio and in other parts of the State, tuo only pledge required being decided and continued opposition to negro suffrage and su. premacy. They namber jn their ranks thousends of soldiers who have heretofore acted and voted with the republican party. These “White Boys in Biue’’ are a eyesore to the radical leaders, ‘The meeting yesterday took piace im the eastern ter- race of the Siate House—an area capable of containing from ten to fifteen thousand people. It was nearly flied. Generally speaking the vast audience was re- markably quiet and attentive, except when a telling point made by a speaker catsed.snouts to arise that seemed to rend the while a cannon brought by the “White Boys in Blue’ from Zanesville, and placed in Capitol square, beiched forth irom time to time its thundering responses, The speaking commenced at about two o’clock in the afternoon.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Tho Pennsylvania Coutest—The Republicans Fighting Their Fight on Andrew Johnson, and the Democrats Making the Nigger the Main Issue=The Prospect. Purtapeipaia, Oct. 2, 1367. “As they fight Jobnson, must fight the nigger,” was the pointed remark of one of the unterrified in front of Independence Hall Iast night, and this is the shape which the battle has assumed. The republicans, on national grounds, are fighting Johnson, and the democrats are fighting the nigger. Instructions have gone out from the Republican State Central Committee, to all the counties, to fight the fight on Johnson, and to avoid all side issues, We bad an iilustration of the pian upon which the party are con- ducting the campaign in the republican mass meeting on Broad street last night. The gathering was a large one, with the usual accompaniments of music and transparencies. The opening speaker was William B. Mann, and MeMichael, W. D, Kelley and Ex-Governor Pollock were among the others. Mr, Mann's argument was adroitly adapted to the fusing of his brothren on the grand idea of “the rebel and copperhead admivistra- tion of Andrew Johnson.”? “This is a local election,’’ eaid Mr. Mann, “for purely local offices, and too many of you, my friends, are under the impression tbat the results are of no great im- portance, and I hear that you talk of scratching your ticket in a number of cases for the benefit of the copper- heads. But let me tell you that tbis is a national elcc- tion; that Andrew Johnson is watching and waiting for the result, and that the Issue is between the one man Power of Andrew Johnson and the will of the people as expressed through their representatives in Congress, The issue is whether in restoring those rebel States we shall bind them over to keep the peace hereafter or whether they shall come in as if nothing had happened, to lord it over us again as our masters, The issue is whether loyal men shall rule this country hereafter, North and South, or whether Southern rebels and their Northern sympathizers shall come into power again— whether we shall have the old constitution as it was, with Southera negro hunters bunting their trembiing fugitive siaves in Independance Hall, or the new constitution ag amended by Congress, a broad and perpetual charter of universal’ liberty. ‘That is the issue involved in this election, Suppose we lose Pennsylvania. I will tell yo what will happen, An- drew Johnson will consider himself endorsed by the Keystone St He will then igsne a proclamation calling for cieccions for Congress In the Southern States, and With their members tus returned and their sympe- thizers from the Northern =tates ho will patch up an ‘opposition C sand teas it as the true Congress of the United Staces, Wiy this was his plan last year, before our congre-stonal elections spolied it, and 80 pro- claimed while he was swinging around’ the circle, Andrew Johnson ‘hen end bis policy are the great ques tions of this election, and ali our litte’ disputes on sido issuos and candidates ongnt to be swallowed up in this contest with the one man power at Washington and bis rebel and copperhead supporters,”’ and so on. This is the fignt on the republican side, and {t is well adapted to meet the necessities of their case, Every hard hit of Mr, Mann acainet Jonson and his party affiliations and ‘purposes brought out Ine audi- ence with cheers and applause, while his remarks apart from Johnson seemed @ waste of time to his hearers. In a word, the republican leaders and managers of Pennsvivania are laboring zealously and with some guccess to close up all the gaps in their ranks on local and personal issues, in another general upnsing against Johnson tike that of Iast year, when General Geary carried the State by reventeen thousand majority on the largest vote ever polied. ‘ne democrats, az we have said, on thoir part, are making the “almighty nigger’’ the leading figure in the foreground. They ignore Johnson as much as possible, but the nigger is served up by them on every stump and in every newspaper, in every style—boiled, broiled, roasted, stewed and fricassed. Nigger supremacy and nigger superiority over the white man, radical nigger worship, the odoriferous nigger, the nigger crowding out the white man, the nigger in Congress, the nigger in the White House, nigger government, “Old Ben Wade's drunken declaration that'he nigger is better than the Irishman or Dutchman,” the reign of the ever- lasting ni;ger and nigger worshippers, social equality with the nasty niger, and toiscezenation and nigger mon grelism as in Mexico, ste presented to the unterrified democracy in every poss ble modification, and the eifoct is @ positive and deep impression among the masses again't the manifest tendencies of universal negro suf. frage and the negro element as a potitical balance of power. Pennsylvania, on the negro question pure and simple, bas ulways been conservative, Hence the auc- cess of “Old Buck” in the October State election of 1856 in overturning a heavy majority of the opposition elements and in thus securing bis election in November What, then, is the prospect? How is this October Pennsyivauia fight against Andy Jobnson on the ono side, and the nigger, the everiasting nigger, on the other, most likely to terminate? From present appear- ances, although the late visit of Sheridan has warmed the republicans into a show of Ife and activity, it is Ml probabie that the total vote of this October jection will fall short at least to the extent of forty or filty thousand of the vote of last year, In this event, as in 1862, there {s a chanee that on the Stat» ticket the democrats will get the majority. A rainy day, if it should tall on next Tuesday, will be alwost sure to make difference in their favor of twenty thousund votes, Moreover there are somo whispers afloat that Messrs. Belmont and the Manhattan Ciub, of New York, ore raising ‘material and financia! ard”? whi in Philadetph lection day, rain or shine. from bis rnecessful draft upon the democracy of Ni York in 1856, can tell how these things are done, It is evident, bowever, that the republicans, in hav- ing the patronage of th y and the Siate governmenis, feel that they nave the ivside track and the power to hold itif they can bring out their rank and fie Here, however, is the very point unon which the whole case hinges. ‘The vote will not be a full vore, and the repub- tican loss, guess, will be ver than the democratic losa; but whether eaough to’ turn over the State or not is the question to be settied. The republicans have the state and think they will hold it; the democrats hope d fight to regain the State, but they are not kauguino. and there 1s no betting going on.

The Successor of Roscoe Conkling to the House of Representatives, Alexander H. Bailey, of Rome, has been nominated for Congress from the Twenty-first New York district, to fill the vacancy created by the election of Hon. Ros- coe Conkling to the Seuate of the Untied States, Mr. Bailey has served two terms as Siate Senator from Uneida county. The vote at the last Congresmonal elec. tion im this district was—Conkling (radical), 12.470; Koi- loga (conservative), 11,053; Conkl'ng’s majority, 1,417. The other radical nominations in Oneida county are the following:—Senator, Samuel Campbell, of Whites- town; Sheriff, George F, Weaver, of Deerfield; Cierk, Aribur F.

Speaking of young John Quincy Adams, the demo- cratic nominee for Governor of Massachusetis, the Springfield Republican of October 2 says:— He bas nota drop of party democratic blood io bis: veins, as the venerable Buchanan once boasted he had not; born a whig aud bred a republican, it is ony witbin two years that he bas separated from the repub- lican party, and we supposed it was more just to him a Jol.nson or Seward republican than # dsmocrat, About the platform the same paper says:— ‘The resolutions are cheap party flap-doodle, made te catch silly Feaians and sillier license law men, weak oud fogies, and wicked swindiers who are bent on con- triving some way of getting rid of their debts besides paying them. No More Calhoun Doctrine for Kentucky. The Louisville Journal—democratic radical—of the 1st inslant says :— The doctrine of the Calhoun echool of State rights de- mocracy ino longer a living question. It is dead. Is has perished in a civil war for which it served in some degree to smooth the way, But the doctrine of the Madison and Jackson and Stevenscn school of State righ‘# democracy is the question of the hour and of the generation, I¢ ig the most vital of all the living ques- tions in our politics, It indeed can never die while the republic lives, Nor while it lives can the republic die, This the enemics of the republic comprehend full weil, and hence they are now striking at tho life of the re- soils Daag ee fanart reo eaters In a word, rig veracy, as a living ine, is only name for constitutional Unionism. Education as a Means of Reconstruction. The Columbia, 8..C., Chronicte of the 29th ult. opens the subject of reconstruction im the South in the follow. ing style: — , In all the length and breadth of the South there is no city more peculiarly adapied to the education of youte than Columbia, From time immemori he associa. tions of the place have been of @ character calculated to inspire the blest sentiments, As tie capital of the Sate, 1t has atracted and heid its abiest intellecis, and these, affiliating with the elegant and high toned socie.y which was once our pride and boast, invested Columbia with adegree of interest which did’ not attach to any other locai:ty in South Carolina, To this fact, no doubt, isduc the Jurge attendance of studeats at the South Carolina College in former times, and the esiablishment of various iustiutions | jearning, public and private, for both sexes, which drew hither the youth of the State, and after three or four yeurs of probation seut them’ into the world to pursue their respective profes sions in the larger arenas ef life. A few more words about Columbia, If ts deatgn sendiug tueir children from home there is no place which offers as many advantages as this city.

Edacation Going Down in the Eand ef Steady Habits. The last radical Legislature of Connecticut passed resolutions abolishing the State Normal scuools, Upon this a correspondent of the Haven Paladium com- Plainingly remarks:— In acordance with this latter resolution, the State Board of Education have suspended the State Normal school, at New Britain, for the ensuing year. About the very day that the legisiators of Connecticut were thus disgracing themselves and their State, the Legisia- ture of unreconstructed North Carolina passed an act normal @chool for that Sine, An official report saya:—A fund of $60,000 has been secured for @ normal school iu this Stxe, which will be located at Raleigh, An act of incorpurse tion bas been secured, dated July 23, 1867, under the name of the St. Augustine Normal Scuovt and Collegiate Tostituie, — Suitable bu Idings, it 18 expected, will be in readiness for the commencement of the new institution, soon ufter the opening of the school year im October, Other normal senools, to the pumber of twenty-one in ad, with 1881 pupils, are offically reported io the Jately rebel States, Suai! those states surpass Conneo- Ucut im zeal for education?
