The gossip from Washington an
nounces that when Congress re-convenes
on tbe 10th the .'resident will
again send to tbe Senate tbe appoint
ments of the rejected New York cfB
cials, and that tbe Democratic Sena-
tort will rote solidly to sustain the
rresideat If this prjret correct,
they will, witb the aid of one or two
Republicans, be confirmed, and much
bad Llood will be stirred up, eventu
ating ia a probable break in Repub
lican lines and a bot contest betwee n
tbe President and a majority ef tbe
Senators of tbe party that elected
Lim. We trust that ia this matter
tbe gossipa are badly mistaken.
Senator Newmevee of Tiithburgb
baa introduced a resolution in tbe
Senate looking to aa amendment of
the Constitution proriding for a re
duction of tbe members of the Senate
from T0 to 2, and of tbe House from
203 to 100. Wbea tbe present Con
stitution was pending before tbe peo
ple, we etrongly oppose1) the increase
of tbe members of tbe Legislature as
useless, cumbrous and burdensome to
tie tax payers. Experience has
sbowa ibat no practical benefit has
eca derived from the change, but
that legislation has been retarded by
it, and we are glad to nee a move
looking to a return to the old cum
ber. According to the report of Soper

before-the employees bad.lelt t be
place, a boiler exploded at N . 3
Barclay St , in tbe factor r of Green
Geld & tion, the largest mauufaciurers
of coufectiooerv ia the wrld and
blew out the entire froutof tbe build-
iui. Immediaiplv thtt whole niruct -
ore was wrapued in fl-wes, ,aod
scene of the wildest horror ensued,
Tbere were ovr two - buudted ueri
sons in the building in the miner
stories mostly girls, and, as
o ' ri
a matter
of coarse, there was a frightful scene.
Tbe fire, aa it always does, cat off
the means of escape, smoke added
its horrors to Game, and a frigbiful
loss ot Hie eorued lbe number is
not yet known, but it cannot be less
than Guv, and tbe gbastfy list mav
reach a hundred. Oue man was kill
ed in tbe street, witb bis horse, by
lbe well falling on him, and build
ings in tbe ueigbb rbood were more
or less wrecked. W by was ibis ca
tastropbjf simple enougb. ' It was
not a worn-out boiler, for the force of
tbe explosion demonstrated ' its
fctrengtb, but it was ia charge of an
eotirelv incompetent person. It
was a cbeap man wbo knew notbing
whatever of steam,' or its manage
meat, wbo had uuoer bis control tbe
lives of two hundred persons. From
ignorance or neglect, or both, ii ex
ploded, and a hundred homes are des
olated. It is tbe old story, repeated
over aud over again. When sucb ac
cidents are of daily occurrence, one
almost wishes for a monarchy with
power to make men sensible.
' - : THE LIQUOR rOWEB
' There is no q ietiou tbat the rum
ptwer ruled New Yoik completely.
Tnere are eiitht thousand mm-sbops
in the city subject to license. The
excise board wbicb bas tbe pwe- o
grant licenses, commenced eight
mouths ago to take tbeir money but
did n it issue licences, giving instead
a receip' f r their ajonpy sod direct
then, to go on selling Just tbe same,
as tbe receipt would protect tbem
Tbe grand j.rv was not sa i-fied
with this, for every gin-mill bad hi
receipt and was celling, whether he
was a proper person or oot, aud the
police corqinis-i 'tiers were directed to
arrest everyone nor having a license,
aud shut Up hs tb p 8ii0 were
arrested in one day, and tbe good
work was carried on remorselessly.
Tbere was no favor shown. Tbe
gilded bars of tbe big b nels were
served exactly as were tbe cbeap
bucket-r-hop in Water street, and
tbere was consternation Tammany
Hall bowled. Tbere were t-cveral
niggers i a this wood-pile la tbe
first place lbe excise board, wbicb is
Tammany, is not compelled to pay
over the money collected for liceo-es
till tbe licenses are granted, and as
receipts aro not licroses, Xspimany
had tbe use ot a n)llion ef dollars
Secondly, Tammany never inteuded
to collect tbe money at all At tbe
end of tbe year tbi favored rum set
lers would come ia and demand tbeir
money on tbe score of not having had
a license, so tbey would et the priv
ilege of selling a year fyr notbipg
iben again lammany dare not
toucb tbe rum interest at all, for it
depends upon it to maintain its pow
er. A levy of eacb produce
$200,000. aod as each rum-sbop cau
be depended upon for four votes, at
least, it keeps an army of 32 000 vo
ters always ready to vote as many
limes as are needed - Therefore tbe
aotion of the police board must not
be allowed. Unfortunately tbe May
or has the power of removal, aod
Tammany demanded of bim tbeir
beads. He made a faiot show of re
aiataace, bu. finally yielded, and tbey
must go, aoleas the Governor inter
feres, of which tbere Is not much
hope. Tbe raid bas demonstrated
two things. First, tbat there is no
hope of aovthiog lik law and order
so long as Tammany exists, and, sec
ond, that a law regulating tbe sale of
liquor can be enforced in New Y"rk,
if tbe authorities arp left Blond It is
an encouraging fact tbat' while the
police b rd were doing tbeir duty,
ibe arrests for drqokennesa were de
creased a half, and tbe brutal crimes
growing out of excess ia liquor al
most entirely ceased. So strict was
the surveiisnce of the p lice, that for
some week it was ri'flj.uli to get
drink anywhere. Tbe doors were
closed, and only regulars could ge
