CAPTAIN SIX AW.
The London Fire Chief Returns Ilia
Report upon the American
Fire System An Inte
resting Summary.
From the London UeraU, Sept. 28.
We announced yesterday the return of Captain
Shaw, the Chief of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade,
to London, from his tour of inspection of the
working of tho fire departments in the principal
cities in the United States.
lie eulogizes In tho warmest terms of grati
tude tho very cordial and hospitable reception
he had met with In all the cities which he
visited, but he could not disguise his extreme
disappointment at having taken so long, labo
rious, and expensive a journey with absolutely
no result whatever beyond acquiring a know
ledge of the true condition of the several fire
departments, ills hope had been that iu each
of the great cities he would have an opportunity
of discus-sing with practical men the details ot
organization, training, discipline, drills, econo
my, mechanical appliances, and all the
other subjects of interest to those who
had adopted tho business as their
profession, bat he had nowhere been able
to do this except on tho smallest possible scale,
in consequence of the existing arrangements,
lie was of opinion that the telegraph makers
had done much lor the lire departments, and
that the steam lire engine builders had also dories
much, but that tbo ollicials had done very little
lor themselves, cither by instructing the engine
builders and makers of their appliances gene
rally as to the real requirements of tlic service.
or by exercising and practising themselves iu the
use of such appliances as tuey nave, lucir en
gines can throw water well, but those in use are
Jor the most pan Heavy, unwieldy, ana lneonve
. nicnt in the extreme; and what is still more re-
re in almost every
se first made many
e to doubt that the
cd so much inge
lstruction of their
machines would have been able to alter them to
suit the requirements of the service, had they
been properly advised by practical persons as
to what those requirements were: out It ap
peared to him that the introduction of politics
into the fire department, particularly in the se
lection of their principal executive ollicers, has
been the means of preventing many of the most
intelligent and promising members from remain
ing in charge long enough to acquire such know
ledge of tbo details of the profession as to
enable them to point out to the makers of their
appliances what w;is really wanted, and to In
struct their men in the use of them when made.
It was perhaps not generally known in England
hat tho chief ollicers, or, as they are called,
chief engineers, of most of tho American fire
departments, and tho principal assistant engi
neers, are elected, not promoted, and that politi
cal influence is commonly paramount in tho
elections. In some towns the chief and his
assistants were appointed by the mayor, and
this was probably tbe better modi) of the two;
but in whichever way they obtained their places
the appointments generally were only tempo
rary, and varied iu duration from one to about
three years, according to local arrangements. It
was hardly to bo believed that in the midst of a
practical nation like the Americans the chief of
an important department, requiring a conside
rable amount of skill and special training,
should be obliged every year to enter Into com
petition with his own subordinates and others,
and either to stand contiuued fresh elections or
to lose his place. Such was, however, the case,
and the effect of tho system is, of course, fatal
to the advancement of the professional work of
the fire departments. Nothing could exceed the
cordial and friendly naturo of his intercourse
with the municipal authorities, boards of
lire commissioners and executive ollicers of
the firo departments wherever ho went,
and in reply to their inquiries he had been
those opinions lie had not heard so much as one
dissentient voice. He hid, therefore, on the
whole, come to the conclusion that tho present
system was doomed, and would be one day
altered; and when that day came ho had no
doubt that tho great ingenuity so characteristic
of the Americans would be brought to bear on
the machinery and appliances of the fire de
partment, anil would have the almost Immedi
ate effect of raising them from their present
dead level to a much higher position.
They had now powerful and weighty ma
chinery and appliances drawn about by large
numbers of horses, and worked by enormous
bodies of men. but it could hardly be
supposed that the cities would long con
tinue to supply funds for the payment rf
Lcavy expenses rendered necessary chiefl y
iy tho want ot skih ana practice tn
compelled to state his opinion freely, that al
though he considered them perfectly justified in
boasting of any institution iu which all con
cerned take a very great interest, aud also per
fectly justified iu placing political partisans at
. the head of any institution thev pleased, he
could sec no possible justification for combining
the two; on tho contrary, that If they wished to
boast they would have to abandon their political
appointments, or if they wished to continue
their elections they would have to cease boast
ing. He had also told them that he had found
among tho chiefs some useful, active,
and intelligent men, but that, so far as
could judge, those men had advanced
themselves, not by the system, but in
spite of it, and wherever ho had stated
the part of those concerned, it was a very sin
gular and uuaccouutable fact that the Americans,
iu their admiratlou for steam firo engines, had
forgotten or Ignored the use of hand-worked
engines, and had abolished them altogether,
thus absolutely depriving themselves of the
means of instantly extinguishing firo at their
own doors, and so leaving themselves in this
particular point far behind tho most backward
nations of Kurope. Ho had asked lu every city
why this had been done, but he had not re
ceived as much as one reply giving tho blightost
reason; on the contrary, tho answer generally
was that hand engines were of no
use a statement quite without mean
ing in the face of the fact that
somo of the principal cities of tho world aro
till entirely protected by them. He was clearly
, of opinion that no city of any description, and
more particularly no large mercantile city,
should bo without both kinds of engines; that
the manual or handworked engines should very
largely predominate la number, and that, as a
ccueral rule, every station containing a steam
engine should bo provided with at least one
m fuual engine lu addition, as tho latter could bo
trot to work in about thirty seconds by oue man,
whereas it is almost impossible to get a steam
en 'ine to work in less than three or four min
ute's from the receipt of a call even when there
tire plenty of hands present. He found tho
American fire departments of both kinds (paid
and voluntary) formed on a military basis, being
composed of a number of bodies called compa
nies to a great extent independent of each other;
making their own promotions separately, but
liki several regiments, working together, when
cal ed on, under a superior head. This seemed to
lie understood by all concerned, and to work, on
the whole, rather well; but ho was convinced
tbV a military organization was badly adapted
lor such a purpose, and that both economy and
Increased efficiency would result from substl
tutl g bis simple organization for theirs, lie
admired beyond measure the pride and enthusl
m of tie Americans about all their institutions,
Shit precisely the sumo us t
s ajro. It was impos.-!
Jers who originally Bh(
t it if in- the design and c
and these amone; the rest; and although just !
now the fire rlctmrtments nrcsent manv Bubiects i
for criticism to a professional observer, ho was
bound to say that in many of the principal cltlos
they were much improved of late years, and the
spirit which Bcemcd to animate all concerned
was one which, under altered circumstances,
must lead them to eventual success.
He should never he weary of speaking with
most sincere and heartfelt gratitude of the ircat
kindness and consideration he had met witti on
his journey.

"Jo! for Onre-IIe Accepts a New York Itc
pnbllcnn Ntnlo Nomination, nnil Write a
fSllrrliiK Letter that nil Hhonld Itend.
Horace (irecley In the following letter accept
the New York Republican nomination for the
Blittc t'oiitrollcrship:
To Hon. Hamilton Harris and associates, Re
publican State Committee: Gentlemen Ab
sence in tho interior of our .State precluded a
prompt rcsponso to the nomination you have
seen lit to tender me. I improve the earliest
moment to reply to your kind notification.
You do not need to be told that I did not want
the nomination any more than I expected it,
and that I do not desire the ollice. lint I clearly
comprehend that political life has its responsi
bilities and Its duties as well as its opportunities
and its honors, and I accept without lioMiation
thanking you for the faith you have evinced in
my devotion to the Republican cause. 1 trust
that some friend may be able, to say with truth
at m j' grave that my political friends never were
asked by me for any favor, and never required
of me any honorable service that 1 did not cheer
fully render.
There arc those who would persuade us that
the Republican party has finished its work, and
thould now dissolve and pass away. They say
this in full view of the fifteenth amendment,
whereof the ratification by the States is still
pending and by no means assured. They say it
in defiance of the fact that we are called to vote
this fall directly to abolish or retain the pro
perty qualification whereby a part of our own
citizens, who were required lo serve, and dil
serve in the armies of tho Union, are yet
denied the right of eu ft rage. Four col
ored men from the township adjoining mine
Jell dead on the single field of Olustee, lighting
bravely for freedom and their country; aud now
their sons are denied a oiec in the Government
of that country by the efforts and votes ot men
who have no more property and no better educa
tion than they, and who" took excellent care
never to risk their lives in defeneo of the Union.
If there be one Union soldier even one who
votes to deny tho right of suffrage to the sous
of those who fell fighting for tho Republic, I
must believe that he was impelled to enlist rather
by love of bounty than love of country.
For myself, having all my life done what I
could to secure a legal and practical recognition
of the equal rights of American citizens, having
en two occasions stood at tho polls, as I usually
do on election days, and distributed ballots in
favor of abolii hing'lhis most Invidious aud ini
quitous property qualification, I rejoice iu the
third opportunity now afforded mo for so
doing, and shall thankfully improve it. Iu
tho course of naturo I cannot expect to live
many years longer; but I hope to bo spared
long enough to see this relic of slavery erased
from the fundamental law of our State. If
unsuccessful now, I shall urge a resubmls
i '.'the question at the earliest day, and
again and again until sham Democracy shall
be wearied or shamed Into saying, like its proto
type, tho Unjust Judge of old. 'Though I fear
noL God. neither regard man, yet will I do jus
tice to this poor suitor lest by continual coming
lie weary me." Iu no State within my knowl
edge has this question ot impartial suffrage been
repeatedly submitted that a largo gain of votes
to the right side was not realized at each succes
sive trial until victory croviied the exertions of
the champions of equal rights. Let us never
doubt that such will be the result in our State,
and with steadfast faith in the ultimate triumph
of iustice. let us thank God and take courage.
This is the off-year In politics. Men whose
patriotism barely sulllces to take them to tho
polls when a President, or when at least a Gov
ernor and a member of Congress, are to be
chosen, will not not come out this fall. Tho
great army of disappointed ollice-seekora and
selfish aspirants to live on tho public will also con
tribute vastly to the legions of sulky stay-at-home.
General Grant,' lacking the miraculous
power which fed multitudes to repletion on a
few email loaves and fishes, has offended these
iiatriois beyond the hope of present forglvcuess.
-et mo. therefore, entreat them to go to the
polls, and there work and voto simply for tho
constitutional amendment securing impartial
suffrage. They will thus proclaim that their
personal disappointments have not affected
their principles, and that their past professions
of republicanism were not insincere. They shall
be most welcome to vote against me. and still
claim to bo better Republicans than I am. if
they will thus evince unabated devotion to the
cause.
equal rights regardless of color in a future by no
means remote, llie genorai aiihesiou ot tue
South to this principle insures its success. There
will be, as there has been, a great party through
out tho South which calls itself Conservative
and stigmatizes its opponents as Radical; but
the former claims to be as heartily aud tho
roughly for equal rights as tho latter, puts
colored men on its tickets, and iu every way
manifests its faith by its works. Kvcn though
this position were reluctantly taken, 1 do not
believe it Insincerely held, and I clearly
see that It can in no case un aban
doned. Nor cau a great national party
base itself on equal rights lu tho South
and on proscription and caste at the North. It
will have to take a decided and unequivocal
position iu preparing for the next Presidential
content: and that must be one which docs not
divest it of a hope of carrying a single State
south of tho Potomac. The line of battle of the
advocates of "a white man's government" is
thus fatally broken, and their total discomfiture
merely a question of time. It behooves us to
take care that New York bo not taught her duty
to the humble and despised by South Carolina,
but that she le-uinc her proper place iu tho van
of tho mighty host that strikes for justice, pro
gress, and universal liberty.
While slavery endured, tho proscription of the
bla ks rested on a perfectly intelligible and logi
cal loundation. It was deemed fit that the men
who voted should bo palpably distinguished
from tho men who were sold at auction. The
reason having vanished, the proscription rc
niaius only as a tree cut olt and stuck in the
ground may servo as a party standard or rally-ing-post
long after Its vitality has departed; but
a'l know that lis days aro numbered, and that It
mustEOon fall of its own weight It not quietly
taken down, which is safest and best. All Intel
ligent Democrats know and In conversation ad
mit that ours must Inevitably become a land of
equal rights and equal laws; but tho party man
agers say to each other, "We cau carry two or
three nioro elections or, at least, tltix one by
crying down the blacks; the luturo must take
care ot itself." Aud thus a great wrong Is per
sisted in through the selfish arts and calculation
of men who profoundly despise tho prejudice
whereby they nevertheless seek and hope to
profit. They do this in the conviction that
many voters who are no baser are a great deul
more ignorant and stupid than themselves.
In the confident trust that the canvass on
which wo are now entering will be signalized by
determined, though quiet cflort on tho part of
tho friends of Genorai Grant's wise, prudent,
and patriotic Administration, and that its result
will shame tho laggards and faint hearts who are
nevre ready to put forth cllorts except when
thev are not needed, I remain, yours gratefully,
New York, Oct. 9, 1809.

The complications prowiinr out of tli recent gold

market Is slowly but steadily recovering from the
shock resulting from the magnitude of the opera

tal lias been evoked from some source or oilier lu
volume sutllcleiit to reduce the rates "on call" as low
as 4 per cent., which, at this season, Is an unusually
low figure. In our market, notwithstanding the
small demand for mercantile purposes and the dull
ness In stocks, the volume of currency Is quite in
adequate to the wants of applicants, at In.ist at the
banks, whilst lu the open market the liljh scale of
rates demanded and the fastidiousness shown hi the
matter of securities and crcdUs keep borrowers of
standing patient wait-rs of "better times coining."
Call loans are nominally 6 per cent, on Govern

counts 8(n 10 per cent, for Al signatures.
Gold opened stroiur at YMy;, hut declined In the

In Government bonds there Is only a slow move

THE NEW YORK MONEY, MARKET.
The following extracts show tho statu of the New
York money market, on Saturday :
J-V07H the Herald.
'The week In Wall street was a dull one, the ap
preheuslous aroused by the late panic not having
been entirely dissipated. It remains to be seen how
long the caution and distrust which have been in
spired by the headlong decline in stocks will continue
to check speculation. While the general disposition
is to wait and learn more of the full eitects thereof,
there is no disguising the fact that the bolder opera
tors have already fathomed the depth of the decline,
and, taking time by the forelock, are laying their
plans for the future. The confusion created by the
suspension of the Gold Exchange Hank was perhups
fortunate, after nil, for It embraced creditors and
debtors alike, and forced a cessation of hostilities all
around, by which the panic was arrested and those
who were on the verge of ruin enabled to recuperate.
Had the full extent of the danger been known, the
panic would have Involved three-fourths of the
houses doing business in Wall street. As it is less
thun ten llrius have been forced to suspend. Those
who are lu the habit of deriving good from evil
congratulate the public- upon the check which has
been giveu to tho speculative mania. Tho stock
and gold-giinibllng fever had taken in a wldo range
of the public, and a good lesson has been taught by
the events of the past few weeks. The opening fall
trade had been arrested by the general diversion of
attention to Wall street. Now that the dunger of
vei.tuii s there Is so evident, there has beou a now
stimulus given to more legitimate business, and the
trade of the city feels tho bencllcial eilects. If we
examine the career of stocks diirimr the past twtlvo
months wo shall find that in 1S0S tho great
aud overwhelming rise In prices was
disastrous to the 'bear' side of the street.
In the culmination of prices at the Stock
Exchange Just previous to the panic there was a
general slaughter of the 'bulls.' Hence the story of
the year shows the danger of espousing either side.
The would-be speculator may think it possible to
foresee ou which to range himself; but tho regular
ami legitimate course of values is no longer a prece
dent fur operations.
