CONSTITUTIONAL Cosvms-rioN.—The
Convention to revise the Constitu
tion, assembled at Harrisburg on
Tuesday, the - 12th. The Convention
was called to order by , Hon. Passers
JORDAN, Sec'y of the Commonwealth.
All the members were present-except
Jons' GlnsoN, of York. Hon.
WILLIAM M. MnaEnrrn was elected
President. A resolution was adopt
ed to adjourn the Convention to
Philadelphia, after January Ist, 1873.

,"obsti

is_ An enterpriseing New York
firm offers a premium on notes of
broken national banks. This looks
a little singular; but these notes are
as good as any on banks in a flonrish
ing condition. Under national
banking law each national bank is
compelled to deposit .government
bonds with the Treasurer of/ the
United States sufficient to redeem
their currency in the event of a fail
lire. Any note, therefore, on these
broken banks is good, and worth even
a premium; for, theoretically at least,
under the law, only a certain amount
is allowed to a certain section, and,
upon the failure of a bank in any
particular section,other parties desir
ing to go into the banking business in
that section must gather together its
otes, have. them redeemed by the
United States Treasury, and apply
for a charter to 'establish another
bank in the same locality. The pre
mipm is offered from the fact that
others want the banking privilege.
Itw The fisheries of the Pacific
coast are becoming quite important,
the salmon trade is an item, which
already has reached a magnitude
sufficient to be counted in the sta
tistics of production and commerce.
During the first nine months of the
present, year, there were shipped
froin San Francisco by steamers and
sailing vessels, 27,800 packages,
valued at $195,000, a decided increase
over the preceding year. 4 - The ship
ments to Eastern markets by rail
amounted to 2,249,000 pounds
against 545,000 for the same period
last year. There is a regular demand
for the fish in Australia and Europe,
and recent orders have come from
the West Indies and the western
coast of South America. With the
completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad, the fisheries of the coast
northward will be developed, not
only the salmon, but the sea fisher
ies also, cod being numerous Alaska
ward. There is no reason why the
fisheries in these waters shall not in
the future be as profitable as those
prosecuted on the Atlantic coast.
ef§... The names of some of the
ablest, men in the. Democratic party
will be missed from the roll of the
next House. They have gone)down
under that " tidal wave." At the Oc

their prominent Pennsylvania mem

MORGAN was defeated, and in Indi

At the last contest. they have lost

certificates of their votes, and to

ages is also to contain a certified list
of the electors for the State One of
the packages so sealed and certified
is to be sent by the hands of one of
the electors to the President of the
Senate of the United States; one of
them is to be forthwith deposited in
the postoffice, also directed- to the
Presiident of the Senate; and the
third is to be delivered to the United
States- Judge for the district in
which the electors have assembled

tioned of these package's is required
to be delivered to the President
of the Senate before the first Wed

set- In referring to the President's
action on t ie Civil Service reform,
t e New York Times says: '° Naturally
enough, the politicians are in great
ath over the proposed action of
the resident in the appointment of
the hiludelphia postmaster, and we
are not surprised to hear that they
have set up a wail at Washington
concerning the ruin which is to come
upon the Republican party if the of
fices are not to go to those whom the
local managers select as " influen
tial." We have been so long in the
habit of bestowing office as the re
ward of partisan service, or as a sup
posed means to strengthen party in
fluence that it is plain the President
is to meet with strenuons opposition
in carrying into practice those prin
ciples of civil service reform to which
lie is pledged. But the politicians,
we think, will find that, being-pledg
ed to them, he will put them in prac
tice whenever occasion is offered,and
in'the end, his course will strength
en the party rather than weaken it.
For every politician who becomes
indifferent or hostile from lack of re
ward,scores of voters who .do not seek
place, will come to the support of
the party which 'earnestly and faith
fully attempts to elevate and purify
the .civil service of the country.

Brief Um;
—The contest of BIS3fARC4 with
the Roman Catholic Church has attracted gen- .
oral attention. The Iti - sho i t of Ermelaiid was
deprived or the pecuniary support of the State'
for being instrumental in aisiting the greater
excommunication on two prentin,nt anct learn
ed men for rebelling against the infallibility
dogma. Greater excommunication is of two
kinds. In its greater severity, it forbids all
Catholics to have any intercourse with the
person on whom it kis been visit , ..d. They
must neither speak to him, write to him, hive
any LUCCOid relations with Lim or rec.:gar..a
him in any way. The Pr:is:dart tonsituotint,
cintaius an article fu. the prote.:thoi ~f the
personal rights of citizens; and BL,IIAUCK
tends that excommunication-doe interfere with
rights that aro guaranteed by the 'State, a .d
hence withdraws all State support from the
Bishop of Ermeland.
The Bishop, on the other 1ir...1, claims that
the excommunicated person suffers no diminu
tion of nis civil privileges;.th t id the eyes of
the law be is noway affected. and that it is
purely a church matter. This statement has
at least a plausible look; but it is far from sat
isfactory to. the Prussian liinister,i who can dis
cern,-he thinks, that a feri•mi injury is inflict
ed on any man whom a large:percint age of the
population are forbidden to d"sl with of recog
nize sociall?i- He 'contends that the moral,
comforts of the daily life, and' the tnaporal
prosperity of the person, are damaged materi
ally. The Prussian Legislature will be calk&
upon to consider the matter and act upon it.
It is thonghttliat a law will be passed, giving
the sufferer of such an attack on his character
the same opportunity for redress against the
church, that he would have ,agaiust an individ,
nal libeler, or any one who was responsible for
'damages inflicted. The preseut trouble is a
peculiar phase of the long series of diflizultios
which have existed between Church and ;State,
and; which were inaugurated- by' the referma

LETTER FROM BOSTON
Mu. - EDITOR : •When I last wrote
you and named the 25th of October
as a day always to be remembered
in Boston, little ,did .Ithink another
never-to-be-forgi4e.n day was so
soon to follow, in its wake, but ere
this reaches yon you will know from
the press, the telegraph or otherwise,
that our most costly and most en
terprising section of, this city is in
ashes.
About 7i o'clock on Saturday eve
ning last the Fire King commenced
its reign of terror in the upper story
of a granite building on the corner
of Sumner and Kingston streets,and
as our horses was disabled more or
less by sickness it was some 20 min
utes before a stream was got on to
the building, and even then, owing
to the great heighth, the flames wits
not reached and the roof was alni4St
instantly in flames. In about 6 0-.8
minutes more steamers came- on the
ground drawn by men, and immedi
ately went to work • o th ers followed
rapidly but the fl ames were too
quick for them. Firemen ascended
the buildings on the opposite side of
the street, and copious streams of
water were- poured across onto the
burning roof, but in spite of their ef
forts the flames ran along till some
6 or more entire structures were en , -
veloped in flames, and the heat was
so great the - men were' compelled to
leave their lofty position and come
down to ascend another block.. Ere
they reached the street the flames
had darted across, and the roof they
had just left was in flames.
At this time, to say the least, oar
show to control the flames was a
slim one, and as by repeated calls
the entire fire department was on
hand ; nothing could be done but to
play on the sides of the burning
buildings, and by presenting its
spread, let it work its way to the
wharves. At 9 o'clock some 12 or
15 warehouses were in flames ; a
terrible tornado . of heated air was
twirling 'large pieces of burning roof
ipg all directions, and it was e4,j
dent to all that some power other
than water would have to be brought
to bear before the devouring element
would bs stopped. Telegrams were
sent in all Airections- soliciting aid,
and was quickly answered by the ar
rival of trains at our depots with en
gines and men ; - but as there were
soon more than three times as many
buildings inflames as there were en
gines to battle them, it was evident
some extraordinary skill must be
brought to bear somewhere, or Bos
ton would soon be no mare.
Attention was now directed to
keeping it confined to a given, dis
trict and it met with indifferent'snc
oess, still they held on and fought
hard. Fire! fire! firel was again
the cry in front and rear, and eterp.
one seemed enraged with excitement;
large sparks are falling in tile streets
setting on fire the clothing of the
crowd of eager gasersoind causing
stampedes in all directions ;, while a
cloud of sparks sail off over the her
bor, and some falling in South Bos
ton set fire to - roofs of houses there,
which, were diStant about one mile,
air line, froth the, scene of confiigra
tion, but fortunately doing little or
no damage, as most every, occupant
of a house is on the lookout: Mid-
nignt arrived, -and after:Fro:Tested
requisition the Mayor gave permis
sion to use gunpowder, and at 1 a.
m. the train was lightd, laying in
ruins a stately pile, only to have the
flames leap over and beg in anew.be
yond. Explosions followed each oth
er in rapid succession, but nothing
seemed to avail. A gentliman ap
proached our Chief Engine& with
the enquiry, " What is the show
nosi? " and was answered, "Bad,
bad ; God sane burning Boston."
The streets were busy with people
hurrying with goods from all por
tions of the fire, and many with the
goods of others which were wantonly
destroyed or given to another, when
they found themselves in the hands
of the police. Thousands of dollars
worth of 'goods were redeemed in
this manner, but it will be impossi
ble to find who owned them.
Suriday me - riling the 'sun rises over
a still burning city and a still un
conquered fire raging as fierce as ev
er, and in its wake lies a vast track
of smouldering ruins. Coantlegs
number of citizens are' watching the
fiend as it marches steadily onward]
towards State street, all know that,
if that street. is passed the distraction
of the entire northern portion of the
city is sure to follow. The southern'
part. of the burnt district being con-.
quered, the steamers are centered on,
Washington and State streets, while]
the waters of the harbor' border it en
the east. At about 10 a. m. the fiend
grapples the rear of the Post Office
end Sub-Treasury building on State
street, and a fear:fill fight ensues ; at
one moment the fire seems to be mas
ter and the next moment it looses ; '
thus it continues till 2 p. m., when
we are rejoiced to see that the flames
are under control and State street
is not to be reached_ Meanwhile, the
battle on Washington - street has ter
minated with the same result, , and
the thousands of gazers on inwardly
thank God that the worse is
. pasied.
The most costly' - and valuable ware
houses are idealroyed ; thorisands-are
thrown out of employment ; scenes
of desolation abound on all sides,bnt
none are despondent > for our city is
not made of such stuff.
At midnight we are awakened
again by another alarm, and
.find
another conflagration has commenc
ed, occasioned by.. an explosion of
gas in a. stOio near where the fire
commenced before. This is son got
under control, but not, till another
million is'added to the property lost.
The flames have at this hour not
subsided 'entirely, although a heavy
rain has commenced, (9 p. m., Nov.
12), and we are trusting it will quell
.the fires which aro now only in the
interior oVthe trains.
Let us review the affair and see
how stands Boston to-day; as things
actually exist. The number of firms
and business houses burned out ag
gregates nine hundred and • thirty,
viz : Sumner Street, 115 rWashing
ton, 40 ; Federal, 45 ; Devonshire,
43 • Otis, 16 ; (Franklin, , • High,
'121; Arch, 6; Busy . place, 4.; Con
gress, 96 ; Milk, 73 ; Kingston, 10 ;

'l3; Congress Sq., 1; Purchase, 6 :
Sugth, 1; Channcv, 3; Mathews; 23.
C.apt. Henry W. Wilson, Engineer
of Gen. Burrell's staff, has prepared
a plan and made an estimate of the
burnt district. The area covers 2,
580;000 sqnare feet, equal to a little
more than 59 acres. The total loss
will prObably not exceed 70 millions
or a little more than a million per
acre.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.—The Vex
tensive Saw and steel works of Hen
ry Disston, on Laurel street, Ken
sington, took fire this morning, from
the &plosion of an oil can:
The fire began in the etching room
and - spread to the carpenter shop
asd thence to the factory. All the
Works fronting on Haydock . streets
are in ruins.
Three buildings were destroyed,
valued with their contents 'at $150,-
000, and insured for $156,000. Four
other buildings belonging to the
works were saved y the firemen.
The buildings covered nearly all of
the square bounded by Front, Hay
dock, Corrall and Laarel streets, and
gave employment to a thousand
workmen. :The business of Disston
amounted to two million of dollars
per annum, and the present disaster
will cause merely a temporary incon
venience.
te... At a meeting of Philadelphia
capitalists, held on Monday last, a
fund of ono hundred thonsanddol
lars was pledged for the Centennial
Celebration.
