The Senator has put upon record words of renuncia

language. He was not disposed to be more censori

tll5 USING of, l'S g. CATIVEDR4.I, , AT SANTIA.OO
cittu.
' Last night as I sat in a crowded • theatre
with the beauty of •Washington a# hun
dreds of distinguished' men from all parts of
the country around me, my thoughts often
called up the dreadful tra4edy that lately
happened in the above named Cathedral.- .
There were not less than 1400 persons pres
ent, and I 'thought, should. lire break out,
here too would.. be a tragedY, almoit as great
as that, for our meahs of tigress were not
much more than there. ‘len , will the buil
ders of Theatres and Chur hei',in cities be
ft,
compelled to place at least s, dozen of doors
to every building. Again, .the doors of al
mo.-st all buildings Of this, class open inward ;
why is this? 'We reait-that in the 4ourning
of. the Cathedral the rush ag,ttinst the doors
was so great; that it was in possible to open
them,—hence the 4 .impassable heaps of dead
lairrin,g all egress." What a horrid situa
tion'. Who 'din realize the feet ngs of those
two thousand' yiiung Woinen—the elite' and
beatity of a city; pent up, in thatbroilinghell,
imprisoned beyond -all hoe of escape, a liv

can paint the agony of these dying maidens,'
or the charred ruin which death left behind
him? Or who can portray the feelings of
fathers and mothers and - brothers who stood
without looking upon the lovedforms r which
just-at the door defied all atte., .roptettt _rescue ?'
Will the reading of this , fettrful' wholesale
inurderly burning, teach US a - :lessen, to
look well. to ohr Theatres, Halls and Churches
and see if they are,preperly contracted with
reference to the safeky'Of 'the ntlillen&f that,'
assembles in theni' and' whetheri-there;are I
proptr menns l of egress? Time and again I
bare seen the President and his family and
,the most prominent and useful men of the
conntry occupying boxes close by the stage,
and I know that, lied a fire broke out their
lives would scarcely have been worth a,pen
ry. In every city and borough there should'
be a special committee to, look LAO this, and
not let it be left for every body tolook - after,
for then as now, it never will be remedied.
. OFFICERS' AND SOLDIERS' PAY.
•. Several propositions have been ,made in •
Congress with a view of epualizbig the pay
of all officers in the Unii l ed Stated Army and
Navy as well as reducing - that of those off
fiety. This appears to be a move in the
right direction. A ,43 mall , reduction of the
pay of officers of a high grade, and attaching
the same with a small addition to the pay of
privates, making their' wages2s or even $2O,
_per month. will- fill up the ranks, of the army
much sooner and easier than :stay draft, no.
Matter how Stringent or lenient.
ARTICLES BY MAIL FORSOLDI,ERS.
' Every one should • bear in mind that the
law passed by Congress allowing certain ar
ticles to pass through the niails - to soldiers,
permits only goods manufactured from Wool, -
. Cotton or' linen, and must not exceed two
pounds in weight, and addressed only to non
commissioned officers or Privates. The cost
is four ounces for two cents. Any other ar
ticle than the above named, such as boots,
shoes, &c., must be pre-paid at letter rates.
-THE 'MORMONS AND FERNANDO WOOD. -
, On Wednesday Mr. WoOd in his speech
'for peace at any sacrifice of
_honor or sub s
'mission, made an attack on all kinds of bar
lbarism, poligarny and .Mornamiam in pisr
ticular. Sam. J. Kinney, delegste *Om
