Mr. Ga ey is a good man, they say, but he gives a great deal of trouble to Mr. Gree- ley, and seems to be ranning for nothing once more. Tus Reporrup Inpiorment of General Sher- idan for the killing of Colonel Grosvenor is unfounded. Governor Palmer knows the law too well to order any such unjustifiable and Allegal procedure. Buro.ary as A Proression.—The science of burglary has been reduced to a practical science, according to reports from the West. That science has been long known in this city, and the disappearance of the vouchers from the new Court House is a case in point. Tur Bar Association have resolved that inasmuch as Mr, Ledwith is no lawyer he is not qualified for the office of Judge. The “‘Big Judge,” on the other hand, pronounces the Bar Association a ‘‘parcel of old women ;” but the “Big Judge” is out of the fight, Wat Sreext will observe next Tuesday as ® close holiday, the several boards of the Stock Exchange and the Gold Board having decided to adjourn over election, in com- pliance with a suggestion from the Committee of Seventy asking an entire suspension of business, in order that every citizen may have full opportunity of devoting himself to the work of reform. Tux Rumor oy Mantiac Law Over the Wore Sovra—An electioneering invention, of the same cloth as the rumor that ten thousand United States troops are to keep guard over the coming State Fair at Colum- bia, South Carolina. We shall next probably hear that General Butler is coming round fn the fishing sch 0 carrying off “Big Six” to Nova Scotia, in order (0 keen hip out of our State Sepate, Bowery.—Inisuman’s Homa— loa, 4 and 47 Bowery'—Orrza e Committee Seventy rng mesg ad — the Voters; The Story of the Ruin, the Degradation “aud the uggested ; Answer Given to “What Are You Guing ‘Tiden and Bvarts; The Aldermanic jer Horton for the purpose of ef the Reformers. The meeting at the Oooper Iustitute last night was beyond question a remarkable and striking demonsiration, The attendance was large, and the character of those who wero present to take part in the proceedings was such as to indicate how deeply the best part of our community is interested in the movement inangurated many weeks since for the reforma- tion of our municipal government, There is no doubt that the display was imposing and significant, and it clearly proves that the snti- Tammany campaign is to be prosecuted with vigor, and is not to be abandoned in tho event of a defeat at the present moment. Enouzh was developed at the meeting to show that if the opposition should be beaten now, through the lack of organization, and probably through the damaging nature of the combina- tions it has been forced to make, it will ‘‘still live,” and will come out of the ordeal of the present election purified and strengthened, and ready to enter the field in the spring con- test with a better hope of success. So far the meeting may be said to have been one from which the honest reformers of New York may derive consolation and hope. It proves that enough good citizens take laterest in the movement against official corruption to render it tolerably certain that eventually those public officers who have betrayed their trast will meet with popular condemnation and be driven from the positions they have abused. But it nevertheless establishes the fact thai the crusade inaugurated on the 4th of September last against the city corruptionists has been nothing more nor less than @ political manceuvre, and that the interests of the outside cliqnes and factions have been regarded as of greater importance than tho question, pure and simple, of a ze- form in our city administration. The meeting was the culminating point in this political scheme. The speakers reiterated the violent tirades and the appeals to physical force which have been for weeks the capital stock of the stump orators who have distinguished them- selves in the crusade, The report of the com- mittee giv-sno new facts to the people, bat simply dresses up the old and well-worn charges against the municipal robbers, with which every citizen of New York has long been familiar. We are told that the treasury has been plundered, that there is not in the bis- tory of villany a parallel for the gigantic crime against property conspired by the Tam- maay Ring, and we are indignantly reminded that not an official implicated in these infa- mies has had the virtue to commit suicide or the decency to resign. But we remember that the Committee of Seventy, from an early -moment, failed to concentrate its efforts against those who were notoriously guilty of fraud and corrup'ion, in the hope of creating political capital against all to whom they were as partisans opposed, and hence that the prosecution of official malfeasance lost its directness and resulted in a deplorable failure. When this war against the city peculators first commenced there was, no doubt, an opportunity to do full justice on all the guilty parties, This was not enough for the politi- cians; it was their object to fasten the saspicion of corruption opon some public officers whose record has been proved to be unimpeachable; their interest demanded that the excitement should be kept up until election, and hence we find to-day that in spite of the bitter denunciations of Evarts, the revengefal stings of Tilden and the vigorous blows of Choate, the principal offenders against the people are not only uapunished, but some of them are revelling in their impunity and boldly offering themselves as candidates for important public offices in defiance of popular indignation, with every prospect of success. We do not wish to discredit or belittle the work which the Com- mittee of Seventy has actually done. It has succeeded in stopping the squandering of the public treasure. Judge Barnard was the first really practical step in the direction of solid reform. The ap- pointment of Andrew H, Green as Deputy Comptroller, with full powers of the head of The injunction granted by the Finance Department, was the next. The two have been instrumental in cutting down a formidable list of payrolls, which had become enormous, and o sweeping away an army of sinecurists who had long been robbing the city. For these reforms, as far as they go, the people are indebted to the committee. But at the same time we cannot ignore the fact that the men who have been notoriously guilty of malfeasance in office are still in undisturbed possession of the positions they have abused ; that no effective opposition has been organized against them at the polls, and that the only proceedings yet inaugurated against them are in the shape of civil suits for the recovery of the money of which the city has been plundered, one of which suits is of doubt- ful standing in the courts, while the other is charged to have been brought in the interests of the guilty parties. The developments that are constantly being made are simply repe- titions of those which have been from the first familiar to the people. The fact that the city has been robbed by dishonest contractors and conniving officials was as well known two months ago as itis to-day, and nothing that the committee have reported for the last sever weeks, including their grand pyrotechnic dis- play of last evening, has thrown any new light upon the subject. The main point and grand object of the Cooper Institute meeting was to influence votes in the election of next Tuesday, and in this respect the proceedings and speeches are worthy the serious attention of our citizens. There is no doubt that the present election has but little direct bearing upon our munici- pal questions, but at the same time it is important to inquire what moral effect the result will exercise upon future movements for city reform. The success of Tammany tow may be held to be the justification of the present government in ali its branches, and may embolden the men who con- trol the democratic organization—the most powerful in the city—to per- sist in retaining their supremacy in its counsels. Tuis may become a matter of considerable importance in view of the cer- tainty of a revision of the City Charter by the next Legislature and an election for manici- pal officers io the spring. Tho so-called reformers heve done much (het the peo- | net!) Gad “ie! diputt}) 66 '| approve and endorse. Some of their nominations have been notoriously unfit t6 be made, and much of their work has been disfigured by the selfish intrigues of the political cliques and factions who have been seeking to make capital for themselves out of the reform movement. But, as a whole, the committee in ita work represents the opposilion to a corrapt and debauched oligarchy which has too lonz held sway over our municipal affairs, Success now, although in some instances with bad mon, would give the reform movement an impetua which would mot fail to be felt in the spring election, while defeat might discourage and disorganize the reformers, Under these circumstances it may be well for those who are desirous of redeeming the city next spring to commence the work now, and by administering a rebuke to Tammany on Tuesday next, show what may be ex- pected bv the democracy in the next important municipal contest unless the party submits to a thorough _ purifi- cation and puts forth as its candidates new men, with unimpeachable records, The election of next weck is the skirmish preced- ing the great and decisive battle. Whichever army gives way will be already half beaten in the more momentous engagement of next spring. Vorers will please bear in mind that Alder- men and Assistant Aldermen are to be voted for in this coming election, in order that they may be on hand should the law be finally inter- preted as calling for a new Board of Aldermen and Assistants, Brigham Young and the Mormons—A St. Domiago Projoct. We understand that there isa speculative movement afoot for the removal of Brigham Young and his polygamous Mormons to the island of St. Domingo; that there is a party from Holland now in this city seeking to reach Brigham through his representative man, and that they claim to be in possession of all the authority necessary to complete the transfer of the island, or that division of it known as the republic of Dominica, if the high contract- ing parties can come to an agreement on the subject. To take the place of the Mormons in Utah, it is said, this party from Holland are prepared to bring in a lot of industrious Euro- peans who believe in the one wife principle. So many parties, however, s0 many con- ditions and so many difficulties are to be con- sidered in this scheme that we fear it must be dismissed as impracticable. The Mormon prophet and patriarch, on the other hand, as it appears, has a compromise to offer which is much more to the point and the purpose. He proposes to abandon po- lygamy as a condition precedent to the admis- sion of Utah as State into the Union. The Territory has population enough—ninety thousand Mormons aud a thousand or two Gentiles—and why, then, with the condition precedent suggested, may not Utah be admitted as a State? The main odjection to this solution is that it would cover the great object ef Brigham, which is to bo relieved of the local jurisdiction of Con- gress. He tried the experiment of admission of a State, with the constitution of ‘Deseret, ” after he and bis community had been only a year or two in the Territory. He sawed knows that under the constitution of the United States there is nothing to prevent the establishment of polygamy by a State, and.so if he is given a State government he will know what to do with it. He would probably snap his finger at the condition extorted from him touching polygamy, and on the question of State rights Congress would probably be afraid to inter‘ere with him. We expect a shorter settlement from Gen- eralGrant; and in this connection we would again call the attention of the Lower Cali- fornia Land Company, of thir city, to the opportunity for settling their domains with the industrious Mormons. From Great Salt Lake down to Lower California the journey over the healthy plains is only some six or seven hundred miles, and for two or three hundred miles of the route the Mormons have their set- tlements from point to point. Thus the whole Mormon polygamous community—men, women and children—with their movables, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, everything, could be transferred by easy stages to the peninsula of Lower Cali- fornia. Has Mr. George Wilkes, in behalf of said land company, nothing to say upon the subject? Tue Hessians oF tak Figut—The Greeley republicans of the city. Their notions of dignity and independence are ‘‘aeads, we win; tails, you lose.” ‘You may put down Tweed if you can; but our fight is against Grant, Conkling and Murphy.” There you have the Greeley republicans, and there you have Mr. Greeley in all his glory, such as it is. Tue CHAMBER oF CommERog yesterday adopted a resolution of inquiry as to whether any member is implicated in the municipal corruption. Tne QuEstion oF Exxorina ALDERMEN and Assistant Aldermen at the coming elec- tion is yet to be decided, Judge Barnard hav- ing issued a peremptory mandamus to Cor- nelins Corson, Chief of the Bureau of Elec- tions, to show cause to-day why boxes should not be provided for the reception of ballots for Aldermen at the regular polling places on Tuesday. The Committee of Seventy have made their nominations, but Tammany has not done so yet. The trouble lies altogether in @ question of the constitutionality of the law extending the term of the present Aldermen until 1873. The Mayor has ordered the requi- site ballot boxes to be opened at the various polling places, though he does not surrender his opinion that the law extending ihe term is constitutional. Tar Account Waton We Furnisa in another column of the recent important dis- coveries in the Arctic regions, showing beyond cavil the existence of a northern Polar Ocean, will be found of great interest. Tax Trat or Izzy Lazarvs for alleged false registration was concluded yesterday, the jury having failed to agree. This is exceedingly unfortunate, in view of the absolute necessity there is jnst now for some effective warning to the numbers of roughs who propose to help their favorite cause bv repeating aaxt Tugaday. NSW YUKK HERALD, FRIDAY. NOVEMBEK 3, 187L—TKIPLE SHEET. No subject of greater practical importance is now agitating the pablic mind than the best method of constructing buildings so as to avoid the fate of Chicago. As is always the case after disasters of this kind, a thousand suggestions are thrust forward, each claiming to be @ perfect protection against the spread of the devouring flame. The truth, however, is, that immunity from such fearful destruc- tions as visited the great “City of the Lakes” is obtained first by eternal vigilance, and can be secured by no architectural system save that of building only iroa houses—a resort wholly chimerical, It is said that Captain Cook, the cele- brated navigator, discovered some tropical islands in the Pacific Ocean whose inhabitants were totally unacquainted with fire in any form, and, indeed, had no use for it, But with ninoty-nioe hundredths of the human family fire is a constant and large necessity, and, under certain conditions, it will always play an occasional and enormous havoc ia thickly populated districts and crowded cities. The problem of the economist is not, there- fore, to root out the evil, but to re- duce it to a minimum. To this end various municipal regulations are necessary, and should be adopted in every town, regard-~ leas of its size. In the first place the width of streets should be carefully considered, and it should be distinctly understood that the value of a house is materially depreciated by having its gable walls so close to adjoining houses that a jet of water cannot be thrown between them. In the West Indies and trop- ical countries, or exposed localities where hur- ricanes and storms may endauzer the stability of structures, it may do well enough for real estate owners to build in large blocks, pre- senting to the tempest such a resistance as the infaatry square presents to the assailing squadrons of horse; but elsewhere the only object to be gained by close bailding is the saving of ground, the value of which was formerly enhanced by the difficulties of loco- motion in large cities. Now, however, with the cheap and qnick transit afforded by street cars, the outspreading of our larger towns would occasion a0 inconvenience, and would allow for wider streets, larger lots and greater intervals between houses without additional expense. The great fire in New York in 1835 was intensified by the flames leaping across narrow streets, and thus propagating itself in opposite directions. Narrowness of streets, failure or freezing of water pipes, the presence of large oil works or carpenter shops and lumber yards, seem to be the chief causes of the rapid and wide propagation of great fires, The failure of water in the great fire of London was the chief aggravation of the calamity. Bat, after all precautions against inflamma- ble materials, narrow strects, failure of water supply, &c., are duly taken, much, no doubt, can be effected in architectural construction to diminish fire riak. Where it is possible two stories should be the limit to all public build- ings—an example furnished in the national architecture at Washington, and one which should certainly be followed in all structures for State or national archives and records. One of the greatest incentives to an active corflagration is found in the custom of ran- ning the sleepers of contiguous houses so clos? together inthe same partition wall that when the sleeper takes fire and falls it makes a large rent, through which the flames leap ioto the next Lonse. This can easily be pre- vented by the use of a little brick and mortar, and it is an inexcusably slovenly and parsimonious hubit for house builders to tolerate it. If there. was no con- nection between the sleepers of the houses in a row of buildings, and no wooden cornices, tie communication of fire would be greatly retarded and time would be afforded the firemen to get ahead of the flames. The use of iron sleepers and beams was once regarded as a certain preventive of a rapid spread of fires. But it was found in Chicago that they twisted and curled from the great heat, and in. many instances gave way and éavolved large houses in fall and ruia. A recent suggestion has been made for ren- dering wooden beams fireproof by soaking them in a solution of soluble glass—a silicate of soda or potash—then immersing them in a bath of lime. In this way the silicate of soda is decomposed and a silicate of lime formed in the pores of the wood. The silicate of lime is found in nature in a mineral form, knowa as Wollastonite, and is both fireproof and insoluble in water. Wood once coated with it will never change its quality and never become inflammable. Soluble glass is largely manc- factured in this country and used for many purposes. The application of it as we have suggested might be extended to passenger steamships, sleeping cars and also to those exceptional parts of iron buildings made of wood. Emancipation IN Brazit.—The Bra- zilian Emancipation bill is specially re- ported in the Heratp to-day. Our cor- respondent in Rio Janeiro supplies the complete text of the new charter of freedom, besides describing the scenes which took place during the moments of its enactment by the Legislature and of the first reception of the news by the people. It will be seen from our letter that the law frees all the slaves’ chil- dren born on or after September 28, 1871, but subjects them to unpaid service for their labor until they attain twenty-one years of age. It will effect annual emancipations of 5,000 to 10,000 of the existing slavee; it allows them to acquire property by inheritance or gift, but the power to effect savings from the result of the slave's extra work is made dependent on the owner's consent—a concession to the oppositionist outcry. On the other hand, the bill frees 1,650 national slaves, It es- tablishes the right of self-redemption, de- spite the owner's resistance, and by the pria- ciple of free birth confines the existence of slavery within the limits of a generation. No provision is made for the education of the free- born children of slaves. Tax Powapetpata MuwiorpaL Corrurtion- 173 are more reasonable than thove of our own city. The City Treasurer, who answers to our City Comptroller, has resigned while the charges are pending, and his chief clerk, who is the next biggest official implicated, has aasizaed bia uronessy to She Gite now on a visit to Washington to interoede for the Mormons, gave his viows very candidly oa the anfortanate imbroglio in Salt Lake City yesterday to a Hunap correspondent. He thinks that polygamy will perish of Its own volition, that no young Mormons will practice it, and thinks the best solution of the problem just now is to legitimatize the present Mormon marriages and admit the Territory to the Union as a State on condition that polygamy be forever henceforward discarded. This seems to be Brigham’s most promising solu- tion; bat the trouble lies in the idea that it may not be intended in good faith. After the Territory has become 4 State Congress can- not interfere with its social institutions, and the moral sense of the community, determined on the extinction of this last relic of barbar- ism, has not enough confidence in Brigham Young and bis leaders to trust to their good faith in the matter, Tas Avrwor oF Tax SLANDER against the Brooklyn school teachers is likely to find it very exciting times in that quiet suburb. The Board of Education yesterday declined to take any official action in the matter, but the general temper of tho members was very well illustrated by a speech of Mr. Henvessy, who, with an insinuating address worthy of Marc Antony's oration over the dead body of Coesar, said he would not suggest that tho slanderer’s ears be pinned to a pump, nor, indeed, that he be, pelted with rotten eggs, but he would suggest that the matter be referred to the brothers of the slandered tadies—a suggestion which, in the present temper of the Brooklyn people, is as good as a wink to a blind horse. Important Dimscovery—The discovery by a democratic contemporary that Tweed’s Sena- torial district ‘‘is the most loathsome political scab in the United States,” and that “Tweed is a fit representative of this loathsome scab on our body politic.” This is strange music from a democratic organ touching the district which gave the vote of the Empire State to Horatio Seymour for President in 1868. Just So.—The Hoening Post says: —“It is pretended by some journals that the triamph of the candidates (State ticket) nominated at Syraouse would be the triumph of the Conk- ling and Murphy faction of the republicans, and will bave a powerful influence on the republican nomination for President next year.” That's it. ‘That's what's the matter” with the Fenton and Greeley faction.

The subject of the interviews. ‘was, of course, the everlasting Ku Klux question, involving the punishment of the persons recently arrested in South Carolina, and perhaps the promul- gation of a new proclamation, It was the ortmimal intention of the government to follow up the sus- pension of the habeas corpus in the nine counties of South Carolina with a similar movement upon North- ern Georgia, and as most of the young men suspected of Ku Klux aftinities who ran away from tue former State took up their abode in the latter, it is mot tm- probable that they will be soon on the move once more.

The danger to which they are ex- posed tn this service rendera it mecessary that great caution be exercised in making their operations public, These officers are not known to each other, aud as @ consequence it often happens that the most efficient men are reported by others as belag Ku Klux chiefs, It will be shown, when the facts all come ont, that the Ku-Klux in South Caroline have been largely furnished with arms from North. ern sourcés, It is even asserted that an examina, tion of the shipments from the arms manufacturiog compantes of thé North, and especially of New York, for the last two years, will show @ great activity in tne Southern trade, i¢ is the opinion of the administration and those whe sustain its policy or repression that it i the design of the Invisible Empire to attemps the repossession by the old rebel element, tirst, of, tne geveral Southern States by the aemoralization, through terror, outrage and murder, of the party sustaining reconstruction and its results, and seo- ondly, by similar means, but more general and systematic im onaracter, to force every Southern State to vote against the republican Presidential nominee, and thus restore to them contro! of their local and State affairs and the Inauguration of tele party associates in the government. A contingency tor which they have undoubtedly worked, is, in the event of Congress refusing to count electoral voter gained by such @ palpable aystem of terror and violence as the Ka Klux will inaugurate, ‘te at once raise the standard of revolution withum the Union, declaring that the refusal {s only ® step i & prearranged pian to Keop the power in tue hands of the now dominant party. There ts no douvt in the minds of the best informed Persons here who have investigated the character and purposes of (his conspiracy that such ® design as that indicated in seriously contemplated. Opina- fons like these have influenced the conrse of the President toward South Carolina, and have led alse to the doom which is now unpending over Georgia. 1t 1s given out chat the meaning of the supplemen- tary proclamation, which is now in preparation, is to correct tae blunder by which Union county, South Carolina, was included in the repressive edict instead of Marion, but there is mo doubt that the prediction in the Heap some days ago that Geor- gta was the next State in order will be verified ia & day or two, and other sections willbe treated in the same way, as the President thinks the occasion may require. Senator Scott is now here and at work, and he is as ateroly in favor of strong measures at ever. ‘The Russian Ministers Troubles—Mr. Cata- cazy Requested to ietirr. To-day's newspapers publish a telegram, dated St. Petersburg, November 1, in which itis stated that the Journal de St. Petersbourg, referring to the case of the Russian Minister at Washington, denies thas Mr. Catacazy has been told that he cannot stay ta Wasbiugton after the visit of the Grand Duke Alexis, and states that Mr. Curtin, the Americas Minister, has never informed the government there that the American government threatened to send the Russian Minister his passports. The above statement has attracted attention in official circles in Washington. The journal from which it is taken has been reputed to be the organ of the im- perial government, It is, however, inferred from the tenor of the intelligence adverted to that 1s must either have lost that character or must have been directed to make representations the reverse of the truth; for authority is given for the statement that Mr. Catacazy has been told that after the viait of the Grand Duke he wili not be recetved as the Minister Governor Hoffman's prociamation of yesterday, changing the day which he had previously named for Thanksgiving, seems calculated to throw a re- sponsibility, which he unmistakably indicates, in a wrong direction, On the 1ith of October Governor Hoffman's private secretary, Mr. Van Buren, addressed Secretary Fish as foliows:— ‘The Governor would be very much obliged if would inform him what day in November the will select for Thanksgiving Day. To this Secretary Fish repliea on the 18th:— ‘resident Jegue 8 proclamation naming the of thanksgiving, ‘This correspondence shows that no responsibutty for confusion, contention or for defeating & observance of the day rests with the After Secretary Fish’s letter to Mr. Vau forming him of the President’s inteation the 30th of November nothing was heard Governor nor from his Seoretary until the issued his proclamation naming the $34 of ber for the day of thanksgiving. No or reason for naming @ different day which, at his own request, he had been informed the President intended to name has since beom re ceived.
