OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wasnineton, D. C., Uct. 2, 1877.

The tire that occurred here a week ago to-day, and of which you have doubtless been advised long ere this by telegraph, has taught the jleading powers here sev eral important lessons—lessons that should have been learned and practiced years ago. Wecan only comfort ourselves by saying that it is better to know it now than tosufier further, not knowing | ought rather to say, “ not heeding,” for al! knew thatthe part of the Patent Office that burnt, namely, the roof, attic and tode]l room ceiling, was non-fire-pioof. Also that &partoft the Capitol roof needs but the kindling spark to set it in a roaring blaze. The two wings of the Capitol are abso~ lutely firexproof, having walls of marble and ceilings of iron. The comnaittee- rooms are roofed by brick arches. But the old part—what is now the centre of the building—has a metallic roof laid on broad sheathing, supported by wooden rafters The Patent Office was burnt once before, in 1836, and the country has never ceased to mourn and to sufler on account of it. The marvel is, that the roof of the new build. ing, of all parts, should have been built and left so it could burn. The calamity has set people thinking and working. Other Government buildings are now un- der inspection and we are strongly in hopes that measures will be at once taken to secure them against such a disaster as befell the Patent Offiee. In the present advanced state of architecture the matter ef building fire-proof structures is but a question of money; The expense ot making all the buildings used by the Goy. ernment fire-proof, is but a trifle compar- ed with the vast amount of public pro perty and record; which are exposed to destruction in combustible buildings, The loss sustained by the late fire would have covered many times over the expense of rendering the roof fire-proof. Govern- ment property, records and archives, should never be exposed to the risk of destruc tion by fire. The work of clearing up the debris still goes on, both within and with, out the Patent Office. There were from sixty to eighty thousand models burnt which will, in all probability, never de rex placed, and the damage is estimated at above a million of dollars.

The Indian Delegation, so long talked of, came last Monday.
