Fireproof Buildings. Im another column of the Hzranp we pnb- lish an interview with Mr. Arthur Gilman, the architect, on a subject at present attracting Great attention, that of the building of fire- proof structures in large cities. From an in- timate knowledge of the city of Boston and fhe business portion that ‘suffered so much by the late conflagration, Mr. Gilman asserts that the only really fireproof building in the district, the new Post Office, Proved itself by stopping the flames, without other than slight exterior injury to itself, to be worthy of the name. We have had in Chi- fago as well as Boston buildings misnamed fireproof, whose destruction moved many to enter a hasty verdict against all edifices called poy the pretentious title. Mr. Gilman clearly out that no building can be called f which is constructed so as to plow of providing fuel for the fire. Wooden Pleorings, tinder-box Mansard roofs and in- @ammable material on every floor turn the ing into an immense flue, insuring its “own destruction and the spread of the flames f the buildings in its vicinity similarly con- ‘Btructed. We have several fireproof build- {ngs in this city built with brick floor- fing and of non-combustible materials fhroughout—the Equitable building, the Park Bank, the present Heranp jbuilding, Brown Brothers’ building, the Magnificent Drexel building, corner of Wall pad Broad, and the building now in process ‘of erection on the site of the old Hznarp puilding, corner of Nassau and Fulton streets. (The Mansard roof is only a tinder-box when ponstructed of inflammable materials, with a thin covering of slate. Its sightliness need prot be sacrificed if it is only made of fireproof material, asthe Drexel building and that on ‘Khe corner of Fulton and Nassau. It will be worth the while of all who pur- building in the crowded portions of our pity to take these hints. The veneered wall; the shaving flooring and bandbox roof are cheap; but they are things of a few years at most. A man may well rent his apartments in such buildings by the month with the con- ptant fear before his mind that mere accident only is between him and being burned out. In large conflagrations insurances pre doubtful reliance, and, apart from the in- convenience and loss of business occasioned, fthe danger of absolute ruin is always in the ind, With such fireproof buildings the Drexel and the Ann street structures iness man may hire his offices for’ years vith economy, the certainty of being undis- turbed afd the safety to papers, documents ynd valuables as great fireproof vaults Bfford. With elevators constantly in mo- fion the business man need not fear height as an objection to his location. The fbusiness buildings of the future will unmis- ftakably take the form indicated, and in the multiplication of such we shall not only pro- jwide for the safety of the actual resident, but Cae them barriers to the spread of large Whe Spanish Cortes and the Abolition of Slavery in the Colonies. What has become of the proposal which, fome weeks ago, we were taught to believe, ‘was about to be made by the republicans in fhe Spanish Cortes regarding the abolition of flavery in the colonies of Cuba and Porto Rico? We know that the republican party in had always been in favor of abolition, and it was a source of gratification to us that the republicans, although they had frequently failed, were again taking the lead in the same poble direction. The proposal of the republi- cans had much to recommend it. If adopted emancipation would take place immediately, gnd the slave owners would be indemnified for the loss of what they are pleased to call their property. The proposal was to buy off the flaves in Cuba at the rate of one thousand per head, and in Porto Rico at the rate of one thousand five hundred per head. It fas at a cost of twenty millions of pounds ling that the British government wiped out Blavery in the West Indies. It will be well if Spain can accomplish her purpose by the same peaceful means. We doubt, however, whether such a result is possible. The Cuban land- owners and slaveholders, unless we greatly mistake, would prefer civil war and a bold struggle for independence. Independence with slavery, is, however, an impossibility. ‘The government of Amadeus will do well to make the proposal to buy off the slaves. If the slaveholders do not accept the proposal the next best thing will be to abolish slavery ‘by o special act of the Cortes, leaving the Blaveholding aristocracy to do the best they can in the promises, So long as slavery lasts in Cuba and Porto Rico Spain cannot count onthe sympathy and respect of the civilized nations. A bold stroke made at the present moment against slavery might establish on firm foundations the dynasty of the House of Savoy. The republicans will do well to push their principles. The intelligent public is on their side; and even if they should not win they will be honored for the effort. Press Blackmail—Misplaced Confidence. We feel compelled to doubt that the millennium of common sense will arrive ‘among humanity in the present century. ‘Time and again we hear of gullible individ- uals who allow themselves to be imposed upon by soi-disant reporters to the extent of wines, dinners and ten-dollar bills. The class of .verdant countrymen who go like lambs to the slaughter in faro banks, keno dens and such places, under the blandish- ments of mustache-dyed ‘‘ropers-in,’’ have long been recognized and labelled incurable ; but the fatuity which seizes respectable and solid business men and makes them the easy prey of sharpers that hang like camp followers on the skirts of the army of journalism will, it seoms, require an addition to the technology of dupes, Here is a case in point:— A gentleman named Seymour, doing business in this city and residing in Greenville, N. J., was interested in a case attracting some public interest of late. He was visited by a fellow who sent in a card bearing the inscription, ‘O, S. Bogart, New York Henaty.” In what followed a sumptuous dinner, good wine and a ten dol- lar bill played their part, this self-styled Mr. being the recipient of all three. The impressionable business man probably ox- pected game retum ina literary sense for thia NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1872—THIPLE SHEET, one-sided transaction. It was, naturally, not forthcoming, and he scented a rodent. The explanation is, of course, the oldone. There is no “0. 8. Bogart’? employed by the Hznaxp. The fellow using the name in his busi- ness is a conscienceless deceiver, and, asa moment's reflection at the time would have told the business man, he has been made the victim of an old swindle. “OC. 8. Bogart’ should have been handed over to the police, and money and anxiety would have been spared the business man. With gentlemen doing business for the Henaxp, or any other reputable newspaper, there is no necessity for any of these pecu- niary influences. Their use is at once an insult to the journal so misrepresented, a confession of credulity and self-descension on the part of the user and a proof of dishonesty on the part of the so-called reporter. In another recent case the gentleman ap- proached by a press. blackmailer, representing himself as belonging to the Hznatp, prudently visited the office of this paper and confirmed his suspicions of the character of the would- be blackmailer. If gentlemen visited by these cormorants would do their whole duty they would cause the arrest of any person endea- voring to extract money from them on the pretence of influencing the columns of the Heraup. Weare certain that every respect- able journal will repeat this advice to the credulous, so far as their own good name is endangered by unprincipled operators of jour- nalistic blackmail. The French Indemnity and the Effect on Germany. It is stated in a cable despatch, dated from Versailles on Thursday, that the third mil- liard out of the five milliards of the war in- demnity whieh France had to pay to Germany has been paid, and that a half milliard more will be ready for payment by the 11th of De- cember. According to this, then, there will remain only one milliard and a half to be paid after December. A nation that can pay seven hundred millions of dollars in little over a year is not likely to find much difficulty in raising the remaining three hundred mil- lions. The half milliard (or -hundred million) of dollars which France will be prepared to pay in December is not due till next February. France is desirous, however, of relieving herself of this indem- nity incubus as soon as possible, and may not only anticipate the time of payment for the February instalment, but also for the bal- ance falling due in 1874and 1875. The re- sources and recuperative power of Franco are thus shown to be extraordinary; but much of the surprising success of the govern- ment in raising such large sums is due to the admirable financial system and ability of the French. Nor has the government credit suf- fered anything like the depreciation that might have been expected from such a strain upon it. The French fives are but four or five per cent below the United States fives in the European markets. One curious fact that has been mentioned by our correspond- ence from Europe, published yesterday, is worthy of notice. That is, while France is prospering, notwithstanding the heavy burden of the German indemnity and her embarrass- ing political situation, the Germans are running into financial difficulties, They are actually becoming demoralized by their good fortune and the abundant supply of money they are drawing from France. Those who become rich suddenly, and have not had experience or skill in using vast amounts of money, generally lose their balance and become extravagantly speculative. That seems to be the case with the fortunate Ger- mans just now. Our correspondent, in his graphic letter from Mayence, which appeared in our columns yesterday, has depicted the ex- travagance and wild speculation running riot in Germany. The conquerors do not appear to bear their good fortune as well as the con- quered their misfortune. Evidently Prince Bismarck will have to curb his elated Teutons, or there will bea crash little less disastrous than war. The Ecclesiastical Rights Bill in the Prussian Dict. It isnow some time since we were made aware that within the dominions of Prussia proper a vigorous attempt was about to be made to put down Romish, or, as it is called, Jesuit, influence in Prussia. The Bishop of Erme- land thought he was strong enough to resist Prince Bismarck with Emperor William at his back, and so he dared to excommunicate Drs. Vollman and Michaelis in spite of Prussian law, which provides that no such excommunication can be pronounced without the consent of the government. So far as we know the facts the excommunicated Doctors, both of them in high standing and reputed for their learning, have, notwithstanding the excommunication of the Bishop, retained their places and received their pay. We know that the Bishop of Ermeland, although he has tried to mollify the situation by soft and soothing explanations, has sturdily stood by Rome as against Berlin, by the Pope as against Emperor William. The original threat has now taken formal and practical shape, and, according to our latest news, the Ecclesiastical Rights bill, prohibiting the issue of decrees of excommu- nication, has been submitted to the Prussian Diet. It isa bold and daring measure, evi- dently intended to reveal the character of the new German policy as against Rome. The bill declares that any clergyman who shall, by name, threaten with punishment, or decree as punishable, a Prussian subject, shall be liable to a fine of five thousand thalers (or about four thousand dollars), or two years’ imprisonment, and, in addition, be ineligible to office for the term of five years. It is, most unquestionably, a severe measure. It reveals Prussia’s purpose. What will the Prussian Diet do with it is now the question of the hour. Our readers who have read the lengthened correspondence which appeared inthe Heranp of yesterday regard- ing the general situation in Europe can have no difficulty in answering this question. The Prussian Diet will adopt the measure, In the struggle thus initiated the State as against the Church must win. Crosz Quantens.—Seventeen more votes would have elected a republican Congressman in the Greene and Ulster district, and nine more votes would have elected a State Senator in the same district, This shows the necessity of every voter doing hig dyty on dection dax.

Chief of State to the Age of Seventy-Nine Years, The Question of the Day with the Assembly Committee. M. Thiers Defines His Position to the Assembly. The Constitution Outlined and the Pro- ject Almost a Pact of Conciliation. The Army Privileges To Be Cur- tailed and Contracted. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Pants, Nov. 22, 1872. His Excellency the President of the French Republic will attend to-day the meeting of the Committee of the National Assembly, which has been appointed to draft the parliamentary reply to the Executive message, which was delivered to the members of the legislative body at the opening of the session. COMMITTEE PLAN OF MAGNA CHARTA, The Committee of the Assembly will, in the address to President Thiers, demand of the Chief of State the following points of citizen provision for the government of the nation in the future, viz: — First—-The appointment of a responsible Minis- try. Second—That His Excellency the President shall not participate in the debates in the Assembly. Third—That the President of the Republic shall communicate with that body by message only. PABTY OPPOSITION IN THE NAME OF THE PRESI- DENT. The above recited points will be strongly contested by the parliamentary adherents of M. Thiers when the reply of the committee is presented to the Assembly for its action. THE TENURE OF OFFICE TERM PROLONGATION. The political reports which are just now in circulation are unanimous in the statement that there will be no opposition by any party to the prolongation of M. Thiers’ term of office four years—a popular concession which will, if granted, bring his ago to seventy-nine years should he live to the legal definite termination of his Presidency. M. Thiers Resolute in the Assertion of His Political Convictions, Pan, Nov. 22—Evening. President Thiers to-day told several of his friends who called upon him that he ‘would make all reasonable concessions to secure har- mony in the government, but that it was im- possible for him to relinquish his well-known convictions.’’ THE FIRST QUESTION WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO SETTLE, The President this morning received a depu- tation from the party of the Left Centre in the Assembly, consisting of MM. Casimir- Periers, Laboulaye and Picard, to whom ho said he was ‘‘with them in opinion; but the first question to be settled was now between himself and the committee appointed by the Assembly to draw up a reply to his message.’’ The President Defines His Position and Concedes Largely to the Parliament. Pants, Nov. 22—P. M. President Thiers appeared before the As- sembly Committee on the Address and spoke for an hour and a half. His Excellency urged the members to ter- minate the present state of ind cision; reiter- ated his opinion that the Republic was indis- pensa ble, and declared that he was ‘willing to accept the principle of ministerial responsi- bility and a parliamentary system which would not completely exclude him from debate."” The President will attend the sitting of the committee to-morrow. DEAFT OF A BILL EMBODYING @OLIDATION. The Left Centre has drawn up a bill pro- longing Thiers’ term four years, provid- ing for a Vice President, who shall succeed the President in case of resignation of death; the President and Vice President to be re-eligible to office only for a secohd term; one-third of the Assembly to be renewed annually; the Presi- dent to be entitled to suspend the promul- gation of bills passed by any Assembly until after the annual election; then, if the As- sembly insists on the law, it must be promul- gated. It is understood that this project of law meets the approval of President Thiers. A NATIONAL CON- Progress of the Work of Conciliation, With Due Regard for Suffrag: nd Right. Pant, Nov. 22—Evening. At the meeting of the members of the Left Centee to-dav M. Pipard. an intimate fried of President Thiers, was chosan chairman in place of General Chanzy, who had resigned on account of his official duties. The selection of M. Picard as presiding officer will serve to strengthen the good under- standing between the party and the President. PROJECT OF AN ELECTORAL LAW—CURTAILMENT OF MILITARY PRIVILEGES. The committee appointed by the Assembly to draw up the project of an Electoral law made their report to-day They recommend— First—That the age of twenty-one years be retained as a qualification for the exercise of the franchise. Second—That soldiers in actual service be disqualified from voting. Third—That officers of the army be por- mitted to vote only when placed on reserve. The proposed law also incidentally disfran- chises a large class of citizens, who, by the army law, are compelled to do military service until the age of twenty-five. The project will undoubtedly give rise to heated debate. SPAIN. The Cabinet in Night Council Consequent on Amadeus’ Illness, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
