The admiration of tlie New Yerk Sun for General Jlutler la very beautiful te sen. It is be charming te find tliatlove such as this can go but from man te man. Iltitler Is mera charming te Dana than any thing a Rroater joy even than hts chickens. He is altogether lovely in his eyes ; and even altogether virtuous. New vlrtue and lluUer, In the general understanding are net held te be one and inseparable, as they nre In the Sun's. Ilutler has been accusedrf spoon stealing, although he says that is alie, and we bo be bo llevo ourselves that it Is. Se far as we knew the general is honest te a common Intent In general. We de net knew that he would steal mero than the nverage man ; probably he would net Bteal as much, as he has no occasion te de se, at Icastat present, since he is in the en joyment of n large fortune nnd a yacht and such things. Wt nre ready te be llove that he made his fortune fairly knowing nothing te the contrary, and en the whole, we would let the Sim's alle gation that the general is the most vir tuousef men, pass unchallenged se far as his honesty is cencerned: despite the spoon story, and the general air that hangs around him et the hard case ; but the Sun claims much mero than this for its chryB'ilis presidential candidate. It says that he does net He nnd is free from the taint et all manner of guile. Te quete its words liberally, iu his can vas for president, "there will be no false pretense" and " no scandals affecting the personal character of the candidate." We hesitate te believe all of this statement. We knew General liutler as n man of iullnite guile ami as fend of remance as of poetry. True, he is bold, and net sneaking in his style of reaching for what he wants; but we greatly fear that lie is net wholly and solely addicted te absolutely moral ways of compassing his ends. We have v ry great doubt whetlierGener.il Butler would be selected by anyone, ether than the Sun's editor, as the model of virtue ; or whether he will se shine in history any mero conspicuously thau lie does m his dily life. The general has new reached a mature age. and possibly no scandal touching his personal relations still lives te shake its gory leeks at him in his canvass, as the Sun believes, and in this lie is mero fortunate than his rivals, Cleve land ami Uliitue, neither of whom the Sun intimates are up te par in personal purity. We doubt, however, whether 1 General liutler will be much obliged te I Ills friend for thus exonerating him from the weakness of humauity, te which it thinks his rivals have fallen victims. And the .Sim, furthermore, puts its candidate In very embarrassing position in declaring substantially and in the same sentence, that he i3 wholly guiltless of false pretense and fornica tion. Assuming that the general ever Mas guilty of the latter offense, he will be guilty of the former iu conducting his canvass en the platform of purity which the Sim .sets up for him ; and in an ag gravated form, tee, if lie cast stones ugainst his rivals for their sin. Hut if the general really concludes te conduct his campaign en the Sun's platform we shall be very much astonished, lie might net be deterred by the false pretense neces sarily involved iu it, but lie certainly would uet be se rash as te drive ever te the standards of his opponents all the male voters of the country who would have the fellow teeling Willi them that would make them wondrous kind, and bring them te the polls under their bauners iu a very animated way. We de uet think that General liutler desires te be left in the company of the select few te which the Sun has inconsiderately, and, we have no doubt, falsely assigt ed him. A Proud Day for Chandler. William E. Chandler has had his share of success iu life, and been part of home little national history ; but he jirebatily never had a mero enjoyable liall hour than when he steed en Friday, with all New Hampshire looking en, iu the solitary seaport of his state, us the head of the navy, or wl at there is left of it. Philadelphia l'rtu. Whatever success William h. ( 'hand ler has achieved has been after the manner of knaves, and no honest man either envies or emulates him. As for his part in national history there is net a line in a single lear or any chapter which is net disgraceful te himself and te the country or form of government where such n part could be played. Hut this is tee much In the nature of an axiom te require te be written about. That he enjoyed a half hour out In the harbor at Portsmouth at the head of the navy composed of two vessels brought from England, another presented by her for this Arctic service, another hired and his own private government yacht, cannot be successfully questioned. Willi the exception of Robeson, no man lias done mero than he te make the American navy the butt of ridicule in every land or te reduce It te the contemptible position iu which he steed ut Its head. It was surely a scene te stir this man's pride. Hut Chnudler had ether occasions for Jey than his personal pride iu this de structien or a navy and Iu having helped te ube the money for base purposes. 1'rem the haiber iu Portsmouth lie could leek far up the coast, and away inland and beheld the scenes of his trlumpl! where, In ISbli, he colonized voters for the Klttery navy yard in readiness for the September election. Turning half around he could cast his eyes ever the bleak and rocky coast of New Hampshire back te the towns and villages where during the same year, he had. with emmi Zealand Industry, colonized voters for the November election in thu Grimm, state. Net 1038 pronounced could be his joy ever his ability te turn his eyes te either Btate with the knowledge and ussurauce ihat in all that fair prospect no mini had furnished the money nnd directions for bribing se many votes us he. Ah I yes it must have been a proud day for the man whose whole political career Is a succession of villainies and whose prlvate fortune is their logical result. Tub famous exponent of cremation, Dr. Le Moyne, apiH'ars te have leen a man or original Ideas in ether lines than the advocacy of the Incineration et human remains. These who were asse. elated with him in the western part of the state relate that he was unalterably oppeico te the use of fruits out of the season te which they strictly belonged. He aigued that they were for a special purpose, and with their natural death perished their peculiar eiTectieness. The strawberry, for instance, being rich in an acid that stimulates cmunctories, was especially useful in driving out the carbonaceous mutter that naturally ac cumulated In the system during the winter ; and se with ether berries and fruits. The theory is an ingenious one, and was well adapted te the early dnjs of the world when legions liable te be covered with ice and snow were deemed uninhabitable. Hut it could net stand the test iu the colder northern sections where civilization has new penetrated, and where fruits are few and the weather rigorous. Tin: .New Yerk Sim says that it is ap pealed te in every mail net by every male te investigate the truth of "the startling scandals that affect the per sonal character of the Democratic candidate for president " lint it won't de it, because it is net responsible for his nomination.

Tin: New Yeik 'im.s errs seriously iu persisting in its charge that Blame did uet read the Mulligan letters after its error, which was naturally enough fallen into, was pointed out by the Sun.

A portion of Baldwin's locomotive works, Philadelphia was destteyed by flte Meud.iv evening, Involving a le's of $150. 000 The but tied building was the eldest of the group that forms the extensive manufactory, having been elected when M.ithus Baldwin llrst began locomotive building ou Bread street It stands at the northwest corner of Bread au,l Hamil ton streets. Thu llames weie llrst disoevoted at a quarter before S o'clock by a watchman. They were then buriiiug with ngoed head way in the third story en Hamilton street, directly ever tlie euglue room There was delay in striking the alarm for tlie lire department, nnd the watchman ran directly te the engine and blew the great lire whistle te call the lire department con nected witli the works. It was ten minutes later before an alarm wis sent ever the eity wires. The first response te the whistle was from the llrst brigade con nected with the IKhipes A. Townsend belt works en the opposite side of Bieadstieet. The Baldwin tite brigade was seen after at work, but its operations were hampered as the large .-team lire pumps were located iu the engine room, near the fire. The llames spread with great rapidity, owing te the tl wrs being thoroughly saturated with oil. When the firemen armed at the scene 'he reef was en tire and the iu terier of the building was a mass of nui tug ll lines. It was tee late topievent that part of the building from beiug destroyed, anJ the tiremeu turned their attention te ether portions of the works They were se successful iu this that only the southern portion of the building, iu which tlie tire originated, was burned out. The building fronted ou Bread street, from Hamilton street te Het tonweod, ami was about -Je feet deep en Hamilton street. Tins entire end was destroyed, but ou the Bread street side the tire did uet extend mere than 150 feet from the comer. The caue of the lire is unknown, butns there was ue lire in that part uf the build ing where the dimes were llrst si-en, and as there had heeu several severe ll ishes of lightning just previous, it is thought that a belt struck the building. The boiler works adjoined the burued building, but the tire was prevented from cenimumcatiug te it. There were ever .100 men employed in the building, many of whom will lese their machinist' kits of tools. The destruction of the building will cause serious hiudrauce te work iu ether shops aud will probably oaue a temporary les of work te mero thau double that number. .i .ikksi:v ui r lii.AK.

He nnd tlie ether elllceis kept watching the nun nun n.,y mum lOglllllOr Ut hl!Vl),ll places. They seemed te have jdenty el money and had several ten dollar bills changed. The stelen money consisted or 5 $10 and $20 bills. Finally all turned up at Die 11:15 train, but kejit ajiart Irem eueh ether us though they were unacquainted. They all pur chased tickets for llanisbuig, but secured them at dilleieut times. The tialu was twenty live minutes Lite, nnd the oiewd in the doiet was much larger than usual. The men seeiiud te knew that they 0re wi.tched, and two walkid nervously around the dejet while a thud pteleudrd te be asleep. When the train c.iuiu in the four attempted te get en at dilleieut lielnts. rhoefllnrs,asslbted by Alderman Siurrler, at oneo took them into custody. They were taken out of the train, nnd all went quietly te the station house. Wheu questioned they gave their names ns Charted t isher, Jehn Welch, Charles F. 'I at ler and Harry Yeung. The elllcers at once Deg.in a seaich el them. Fisher had $.W 37, some .of which was in $5 aud $10 bills. Welch hud $2 27 aud Tayler $2.37. When the oIIIemh began searching i.uiug, who seemed te be the leader of thu gang, he resisted nnd showed tight. Aldei man Sjiurrier grabbed him by thu neek, gave him u jiohte itivitatieti te keep qmel and eidurtil htm te Uke ett his sheeH lle sullenly began te comply with his request and as he i umoved the llrst shoe he was seen te take something out of his drawei leg and !.iee it m his coat jiejket. Ofllcei Biislieng examined this aud found it te be a roll or money containing evor $70, tn $50, $10 mid $5 bills, which corresponded exactly with that takcu from Mr Keller. Alter the men had beeu ilaced iu cells, thoelhcers went back tolhedejioi te maku a search. Ofllcer B.irnheld had taken Welch into custody as he was bearding the train at Christian street and noticed that he threw something away. Suatch was made at llns j.lnce with a lantern and $50 in notes like tuuse of Mr. Keller were found lu a roll en the railroad track, where they had undoubtedly been thrown by Welch. Iu all $lel.ns m money was found en the men and it cdiichjhhiiIeiI with that of Mr. Keller. Tayler paid for hts railroad ticket with a $10 bill, but all of the change was net feiiud en him.

He is a short stout man aud rather line looking. All of them nre well dtessed nud talk well. At the jireliminary hearing Mr. Reller ideiiti lied Yeung as the man who jostled against him at thu jiostelllce. A gentleman who was a jiassenger en thu Heading ti inn whtuli urnvud here ut S W0 hist evening states that Welch aud Yeung, two or the men arrested, beaided the tiaiu at M.uilieim and came te this city. Although they get en toguther they did net appear te he acquainted. Welch carried a small black bag. Whether there were any mere iu the jiarty the gentleman was uuablii te state, as he was iu but ene car. Ou Sunday night the burglar alarm at thu Miiuhelm bank was sounded but nothing was taken. Since the arrest of these men it is believed tliat they belong te a gang of thieves who are operating iu (titlcrent ji.irts of thu country, and that they intended te rob the bank. The black bag which Welch carried was missing when he was arrested, and what it con tained is uet known. Thu four moil un doubtedly are the ones who robbed Mr. Koller, and their capture was a iietty clever juecu of work ou the jiart of the eflicers aud Aldeimau Spurrier.
