4 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAril PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1871. MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1871. SENATORIAL CONTENTS REPUB LICAN INTEGRITY. We attaoh no credit to the rumors which bare been 'rife here and in Harrisburg for some days, that Messrs. Lyndall and Thomas mean to contest the seats of Messrs. Dechert and Nagle in the Senate. It is possible that a few petty politicians, who think that any means are justifiable to attain political sao sess, however mnph the moral sense of the community may be shocked thereby, may have contemplated, or still contemplate, such acts of folly, but they cannot persist in their attempt to commit the Republican party to such a wrong without arousing a degree of popular indignation that must make the movement end in defeat and disgrace. This journal faithfully and earnestly sup ported the eleotion of Mr. Thomas and Mr. Lyndall. They were fairly nominated, and deserved success; but both were defeated, and by majorities too large to make contests even plausible. Indeed, until after the defeat of Mr. Lyndall no serious thought of contesting Mr. Nagle's seat was entertained by the friends of Mr. Thomas; and had not the political control of the Senate passed into the bands of our opponents by their recent suocens in the First district, we should not now hear of any such purpose. It is palpably an afterthought a desperate politioal expe dient that no hottest friend of the Republi can party could suggest, and which all honest men of all parties will reprobate. In the case of Mr. Lyndall, there were doubtless Democratic frauds, for they are an inseparable incident to a Fourth ward elec tion; but it is not questioned by all intelli gent and fair men that a clear majority of the legal votes cast in the district was given for Colonel Dechert. Several thousand Republi cans failed to vote, when they had a most un exceptionable candidate and the issue of the political control of the Senate directly in volved. Why it was so it is needless here to explain, but so it was; and we must accept the decision, or load the Republican party with a degree of obloquy that will be tenfold worse than the loss of the Senate. We need not remind those who would plunge the Republican party into proceedings little less than revolutionary, that question able contests for places in defianoe of the declared result at the ballot-box are a stench in the nostrils of all just men; and it is only too true that, in the desperate struggles grow ing out of the late war, more of it was done successfully by the Republican party than is creditable. In the conflicts whioh involved the national life, it was at times assumed that political power was a supreme necessity, and the people tolerated what they could not commend; but the great body of the people can now have no sympathy with the efforts of candidates to gain positions in defiance of popular elections, through trickery or the party lash. The time is past, too, when Re publican committees of the Senate or Ilouse will defeat the vote of the people because they may happen to have the power to do so; and we hazard little in saying that, should these contests proceed and com mittees unanimous in Republican faith could be secured, Messrs. Dechert and Nagle would be awarded their seats, as the convic tion is general that they are honestly entitled to them. Can any man doubt that such Sena tors as Brooke, Evans, Olmstead, Billingfelt, White, Graham, and others we might name, would so stultify themselves as to give places to men who are declared defeated by 800 and 1300, unless the most incontestable proof could be produced that on one side all was fraud and on the other side all was honest? If there are any who place bo low an estimate upon the integrity of Republican Senators, they cannot too soon learn that their hopes are libels upon the best men of the State. Not a single Republican journal of the city has ventured to suggest or sanction such contests, and none of them will do so. With one aooord the Republican press of this city has demanded that the party shall deserve success by honest actions, judicious leader ship, and acceptable candidates; but when their counsels are disregarded, and the party sacrifices itself by indifference or faction, the oonsequences must be aocepted, and true Republicans will profit by defeat, rather than resort to desperate and unjustifiable measures wt.ch must render future success hopeless. We have lost the Senate by criminal dis traotions within our own ranks, and the loss cannot be repaired by violence to law and justice. In this we feel persuaded that Messrs. Lyndall and Thomas will concur. Mr. Thomas did not contemplate a contest one week ago, and he cannot contemplate it cow, for it is not pretended that frauds have been recently developed in his district. Mr. Lyndall has, since his defeat, been elected to an important position by the Republican Councils, and he certainly does not approve of nny attempt to put him into an office to whioh his competitor was elected. Others who care more for temporary and petty power than for popular confidence in the in tegrity of the Republican party may seek to force Messrs. Lyndall and Thomas into false positions, but they will certainly repudiate the whole scheme, and thus preserve the honor they had to console them in defeat. Let the Republican party turn its attention to unitiDg its discordant elements, and hence forth elect its candidates rather than add dis honor to defeat by attempting a lawless dis regard of the popular will as expressed hiough the ballot-box. TUB PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT. Matob Fox can well afford to disregard the abuse that has been and that will be launched against biro on aooount of his having signed the ordinanoe creating the paid Fire Depart ment, for he not only did hi duty as a publio officer, but he aided in bringing about a great reform in whih citizens of all clasps and of all shades of political opinion are interested. The creation of a paid Fire Department is not a po'itical mea sure, and it cannot in any way be made a question of party politics, and the Mayor would sot have had even the poor excuse of ptrtism expeciency to offer if he had refused to sign the bill. There were no legal or constitutional objec tions to the ordinance passed by Oounoi's, and no one knew better than the Mayor that the volunteer system had become an unmiti gated nuisanoe that every consideration of publio interest demanded shou'd be done av ay with, lie, therefore, in resisting the pressure brought to bear upon him by the adherents of the volunteer fire companies, only did what every good and law-abiding citizen had a right to expect of him. Mayor Fox, however, is none the less entitled to great credit in refusing to listen either to the threats of ruffians, whose actions have done so much towards making a paid Fire Depart ment necessary, or to the temptations of those who promised political support if he would prove recreant to the duties of his office. If any further arguments than those already offered were needed to prove the neocssity for the total abolition of the volunteor Fire Department, the conduot of the firemen on Saturday night and yesterday would furnish them in abundanoe. Incen diary Arcs and disgraceful rioting celebrated the birth of the new year and the death of the volunteer Fire Department that has been the glory and shame of Philadelphia, but during recent years entirely too much the latter. The occurrences of the last two days prove the neces sity for the complete organization of the paid Fire Department at as early a day as possible. The Board of Commissioners will meet to-morrow, and we sincerely hope that measures will be adopted for getting the new system into active operation immedi ately, and in the meantime the Mayor and other officers of the law should exert them selves to prevent any further exhibitions of outlawry and to bring to punishment the ring leaders in the outrages that have already oc curred. It is idle for such philanthropists as Mr. Welsh, of this city, to devote their time and labor to improve the condition of the Indians while the President appoints such men as Mr. Percy B. Spear r.s agents. Just when Mr. Welsh was agitating the country by an expose of the monstrous frauds practised upon the Indians by agents, a notorious political bum mer and adventurer is announced as assigned by the administration to an important agency. While President Johnson was trading in his offices with Cameron and like political job bers, this same Percy B. Spear was announced as Collector of Revenue for the Chester and Delaware district put through by a bargain between Johnson and Cameron. The Senate confirmed him before the fraud was known by Senators, but as soon as the people of the district learned of the appointment they pro tested as with one voice, and Senator Sher man moved a reconsideration of the confir mation and thus sent Mr. Spear into retirement. Cameron then forced Spear into the New York Custom Ilouse, where his official record was anything but creditable; and if he has done aught to commend him to public favor, there is very general ignorance of the fact. Now Cameron has doubtless de frauded Grant into the appointment of Spear as an Indicn agent, and if he is allowed to act, and disburse moneys and goods to the sons of the forest, there will be good times in spots out in the Indian country. We com mend this matter to our philanthropic citizen, Mr. Welsh, and suggest that he frankly ad vise the President who and what Mr. Spear is, and he could profitably read to Grant General Hitchcock's famous report of Came ron's early philanthropic efforts to civilize the Winnebagoes and teach them how not to spend their money. Under his finanoial tui tion they became the most economical set of Indians to be found in all out of doors. It is reported that after months of prepa ration and postponements the German forces investing Paris are at last ready to commence a bombardment, on a terrific scale, of the French capital. A few shells have already been thrown into the doomed city, and her inhabitants, after undergoing the manifold sufferings inseparable from a long siege, are threatened with a feast of still more terrible horrors. Ilopes of rescue and relief through the aid of the mighty France that once bid defiance to the world have proved fallacious, and the most fearful massacre in the history of the human race is impending. At this juncture Victor Hugo might call not merely outcasts and unfortunates, but the whole population of Paris, L Miserable. OBITUARY. - Don Juan Prim. A cable despatch announces tbat Don Juan Prim, Count de Reus and Marquis de los Castcllcjog, died on Saturday night about 11 o'clock, of wounds re celved on Wednesday night at the hands of an assassin. This distinguished man, who has played such an Important part In the history of SpalB, was born at lieus on the 6th ol December, IS 14. lie first came Into notice during the Christina ami Carllat wars, and In the civil commotions that followed the accession of Isabella 11 to the throne In 1S3S he distinguished himself by his devotion to the oause of the Regent; 11 aria ChrlstiLa, and In 1S37 was pro moted to the rank of colonel. Ia 1841 he was ordered to be arrested for participating la an insurrection atbarogossa against the dictatorship of Enpatero; but he managed to escape to f rauce, where he re malued until 1642, when ha wai elected a deputy to the Cortes from Barcelona. He allied himself with the party of Christina against Kspartero, and was en gaged lu a number of revolutionary broils, until the fall of Eepartero secured for him at the hands of the lie gent the title of Count de lieus and the goveruor thlp of. Madrid. Shortly after, a reaction com. menced at Barcelona In favor of liberal principles, and General J'rlra was chosea ou account of bis popularity to undertake the task of pacifying the malcontents. He found It Impossible to do so, how ever, without the employment of force, ami he wa consequently denounced by the people as a traitor. He also feil into disfavor with the Queen, and was accused of a conspiracy to overthrow the Uoveru miiit and to assassinate Narvaez. He was con victed of the former charge, and was sentenced t ) six years' Imprisonment. At t jo end of six mouths he was released, at the solicitation of UU mother , and for nne years he dl l not take any Active part In pub ic affairs. In 1W3 he entered the Turkish army to fifht against Russia, and the first advantages achieved by the Turks on the Danube were mainly due to tain generalship. After the revolution or 1354 he returned to Spain, and took his seat in the Cortes, where he acted with the opposition to Espartero and OloKaga. He waa re-elected to the Cortes In 1B6T. He commanded a division and afterwards the reserves r nrlDg the Spanish-Morocco war of 1359-60, and ook part In most of the battles, adding greatly to his repu aiion as a military commander. On his return to Spam he was made a grandee, with the title O' Birqnla of Castellejos. In 1-C1 be commanded the Spanish expeditionary army to Mexico, but after the project for placing Maximilian on the throne was broached he assumed the responsibility of returning to Spain with his army. In August, 18C4, his participation In a mili tary conspiracy caused him to be exilod, but In June of the following year he was recalled, and he at once became the recognized leader of the Progression ists egainst Marshal O'DORnell. At the end of 1365 tho movement of whlctt he was the head attained great magnitude, his ostensible programme being the union of Spain and Portugal and the de struction of the Bourbon dynasty. In 1366 an lnsurrectl n occurred, and many regiments de clared for Prim. This outbreak was suppressed, however, and Prim was obliged to fly to London. In September, 1806, he made his reap pearance In Spain, and commenced new agitations, which, however, amounted to nothing. He was one of the prime movers In tne great revolution of Sep tember, 1868, which secured the downfall of Isabella II, and tlnce then he has been the actual ir not the nominal arbiter of the affairs of Spain. A short time ago, In a sketch of the newly elected King of Spain, the Duke of Aosts.we gave a very complete account of Prim's connection with the affairs of Spain slnoe the revolution of 1868, and It is only necessary to re peat here that he was the active brain of the Provi sional Government. Tbat Prim's Intrigues were of any boned t to Spain may well be dis puted, but he was undoubtedly the ablest among the Spanish statesmen of the day ; and In the peculiarly disorganized state of the country his Budden death may well be considered as a public calamity, and as It occurred by the hand or an adhe rent of the republican cause, It cannot fall to Inflict Irreparable damage on the republican party and to render It less likely than ever that It will suoceed in gaining power. Like all political assassinations, the murder of General Prim was more than a crime, It was a blander, and his sudden death leaves the future or Spain more dark and uncertain than ever. Messrs.

The board of officer is session at the War Department, and of which General Hancock is President, after an Informal meeting on Tuesday, will adjourn sine die. The board lias considered the cases of 98 officers; of this number 80 have been permitted to resign before their eases had been concluded by the board, and five cases remained nncompleted at tbe adjournment for lack of evidence. Of the M cases fully considered a email majority were reroriea upon uniavoraoiy. The officers condemned bv the board, from the decision of which, under tho law, there is no appeal, have been Immediately discharged the service. Tbe other cases, with but few ex ceptions, have been ordered to their homes to await orders. The most important case receiv ing nn unfavorable report of tbo board is that ot colonel John if. Pberburne, Assistant Adjutant-General of the War Department. Colonel Sherburne is the only officer appointed to the Adjutent-General's Department directly from the volunteer service, lie came to Wash ington in command of Scott'a Nino Hundred Cavalry, an organization formed in the State of New York, and was for a considerable time during the war a member of the staff of General Martindale, Military Commander of tho District. From Washington he went with his regiment to New Orleans, and was there commissioned in the Adjutant-General's Department, and he has also been on duty on the Pacific coast. His offense is understood to consist of private mis demeanors of slight importance. It is under stood that, especially in this case, Congressional action will be asked to reverse the decision of tbe board. The officers discharged by the board' are treated In everj instauce as are the officers whose commissions in the army expire to-day for want of assignment, and all receive a year's pay with which to begin civil life. There Is, However, great dissatisfaction expressed regard ing the action of tbe board in certain cases, where friends of politicians have been inter fered with, and several members and Sanators promise to present bills setting aside the action of tho board in every case, and providing some other means for reducing the number of officers in the army THE MIFFLIN FIUF. HIty-on Bnlldlasa Demroyed Promptltade of the Fennaylvanla Central Uallroud. The Harrisburg Patriot of this morning says: The most destructive fire tat has ever visited central Pennsylvania occurred on Saturday night, December 31, In the town of Mifflin, Juniata oouuty. About half-past T o'clock In the evening the flames were Drat discovered In the building known as the "Crystal Palace," on the corner of Bridge and Water streets, and before any aid could be rendered for the extinguishment of the Crystal Palace," the Are communicated to the adjoining builditigs on the south side of Bridge street, and, with the exception of three dwelling houses, consumed the entire southern portion of the town, consisting of thirty one dwellings, stores, and oitlces. The ontv tire apparatus In the town was an an cient fire band-engine, which, when attempted to oe used, proved an entire faimre. Seeing the dire eondiuon of atlalrs, the authorities telegraphed to the officers or the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for aid. This request was promptly complied with. The first assistance or the railroad company was the sending or the Hope Fire company, of Lewis town, distance twelve miles from Mlillln, to the scene cl the conflagration. TUB BUILDINU3 DBSTHOYBD. The building known as the Crystal Palace was a four-atory structnre, situated ou ths corner or Hrldge and Water streets, and Immediately on the banks of the canal. Adjotnincr, m the same building, was tbe hardware arm or Wearam it Co., with a very extensive stock or goods in their line. Every thing In their store was totally destroyed. The third story was occupied by Iroquot Tribe, No. 42, I. O. IC M. : Lost Creek Lodge of Odd fol lows, and Patterson Council of U. O. A. RI. The I aiterson Council were in session when the Ore broke out, and were compelled to leave their room so suddenly that they did uot even save their records or anything belonging to the council. Iroquois Tribe of Red Men had one or the finest collections of rare and wild stuffdd animals and birds ia the country, all or which were totally destroyed by the fir. The Odd Fellows' Hail, a very flns brick building a few doors above the crystal Palace, was occupied on the first and second floors bv Mr. Tllton Espan schade as a dry goods store. His store waa Oiled with a large stock of goods, and his loss Is almost total. The third story of this building was ooeapled by Mifflin town Lodge, I. O. O. F. The lodg owned the building and lost all belonging to them in it. Adjoining this hall was the bl Hard saloon and restaurant of John Hallabaugh, occupying the base ment and floor sbore. His billiard tables aud other valuables were totally destroyed. The printing office building of Messrs. BonBail & Jackmau, of the Democrat and RegUter, was totally destroyed. They saved a few or their locked up forms and a tot or tied-up type. Their books and files were also saved. We can only hope, with all their loss, that the Do-woe-rat and lUgUttr will rise, Phoenix like, and spread Its effulgent rays with a brilliancy that no conflagration can extinguish. Both the proprietors of this paper were burned out of their private resi dences. The Union Hotel, Simon Allbrlght, proprietory totally consumed. It stood on the corner or Bridge and Main streets. Opposite was the Mlillln Bank building, a three-story brick structure, aud to pre vent lis taking tire the efforts or the people were directed. Through great exertions It was saved, and consequently the northern end or the town was raved, as It was acknowledged tr this portion would 1'ave taken Are there would have been slim hopes or preventing the balanee of the town being de stroyed. Among the private residences named were that or Mr. K. 8. Doty, lawyer; 8. E. Parker, cashier or Dotr, Parker A Co. 'a bank ; Robert C. Galligher, oc cupying tba lata resldenoe of John J.
