V Among our telegraphic news will ue ioudu an account, ui iiiu most ter rific conflagration of which tho world lias any knowledge. Chicago, the Queen city of the West, is almost en tirely destroyed, and one hundred thousand of her people are houseless," homeless and destitute. "Within an area of threo or four miles in1 the very heart of tho city, everything is consumed. The dread Fire King has opared neither palace nor hovel nei ther the mansion of the rich nor the at tic of the poor. All alike have perished "before his scorching, destroying "breath, and the beautiful city which tut yesterday was the prido of the .great Northwest is to-day but a heap of smoking, smouldering ruins, and her people are hoveriug hopelessly over the ashes of their homes. Many of "her wealthiest citizens have in a day "become bankrupt and tens of thou sands of her arteiarfs and laborers are thrqwn out of employment and their wives and little ones bereft of a means of subsistence. And the firo still was raging at latest date, with even the miscreant incendiary's torch to give it impetus ; and the world stands aghast at the contemplation of the destruc tion which may yet follow. CHASBTOS PMBIDEirr ! A recent Xew York Radical pa per contains the following: "A number of prominent Democrats from the South and "West have had a meeting with leading members of tho part and have agreed, it is said, to put Chief Justice Chase forward for the 1 residency, lhose claiming to tnow, declare that lhase is very anxious to be a candidate, and he has an entire understanding with influen ntial Democrats all over the country that he shall be nominated. It is re ported that he himself prepared a platform very liberal in character, -and, which he thinks will be satisfac tory to many discontented Republi cans." This is but the old programme -over again, and will not deceive any intelligent class of people. It is sim ply a trick of the Radicals to create dissensions and divisions in theDem ocratic ranks and thus divert our at tention from the common enemy. In 1868 the Radical newspapers of the country manufactured Chase into a candidate for the Democratic nomina tion, and, aided by a few tricksters who had slipped into the National Convention through impudence and deception, this superanuated Repub lican secured a few votes in that Tx)dy, ever since which time he has fancied himself the coming Democrat ic President. The Republicans, in their desire to see him foisted upon the Democracy as their candidate, have urged his claims with bo much pertinacity and vehemence as to de velop their wishes and designs beyond disguise, until now this dodsre meets with no more consideration than any other Radical movement to secure a little advantage at the expense of truth and fairness. iuase uoes not eianu me guosi oi a show for the Democratic nomination. He is not sufficiently orthodox for even the majority of new departurists, and would certainly not " go down" with the old guard of the party. He has never been a Democrat and is not now one. He is a sort of political hermaphrodite, and will only be sup ported in his claims for promotion by that class of people "who are every thing by turns and nothing long." , The State Fair. By parties who t i j r ci j : uave reiurueu irum oaieui uuruig uie week we learn that the. State Fair is hardly so largely attended as last year nor the entries for premiums scarcely so numerous. Shows, gam bling devices, lecturers and peddlers are more plentiful than in former ' a ii . i. . i years, ana au ueem to oe eminently successful in securing a liberal share far are hardly so attractive as our re cent County Fair, but it is anticipated that the great race of to-day will be the distinguishing feature of that de partment. As our " special artist on the spot" ha failed to send us a de scription of the Fair we must omit further mention of the matter until next week. Peistut g Association. Messrs. J. H. Lappeus, B. B. Taylor and Eu gene Semple have associated them selves together in a corporate com pany for the purpose of engaging in the printing business. It is understood that they will purchase Mr. T. Pat tersen's interest in the Portland Her ald, and continue its publication as a part of their programme. Mr. Tay lor is the present editor of that paper. His connection, with it as joint owner is assurance that he will remain in the position he so ably fills. 1 The Nev Northwest sdys "old maids have escaped a great change and sympathize not in the mutations of mortality." . Of course if Susan B. hadn't" escaped this "great change" "she would have mutated like the great majority of women. Prof. Cheney asserts that ' Adam and Eve were planets. Wo always thought our ancestors were of an ele vated character and stood high in the world, but this transends all our most glowing anticipations of our distin guish. J origin. f RIDAT- THE AMEEICAU COMMTJUE. Rebellions against social order mark tho pathway of history.' Human so ciety, like tho natural elements, after a long calm, becomes surcharged with noxious malaria and tho most radical remedies are often required to efibct its purgation. There are to bo found in all countries persons who are in capable of quietly enduring tho whol some restraints of well organized soci ety. They chafe and frot under ..all rules imposed for tho preservation of law and order and cry out persecu tion when restrained by enlightened public sentiment from running riot in pcrsuit of tho fancied Elysian pictured by their distempered imaginations as tho certain result of the triumph of their wild theories. Never in the record of the past did this licentious spirit prevail throughout tho civilized world to the extent it docs at this time. In France it , is known as tho Commune, and throughout Europe it bears the title of International Soci ty. In this country it is rapidly de velopingjand attempting to organize under the Woman's Rights standard. We do not wish to be understood as charging all who think they believe in the womans rights movement with entertaining the immoral veiws and sentiments of the French Commune, but we do say, and can prove from their own lips thao the leaders of the movement are Communists and ene mies to Christian civilization. Henri Rochfort was the lcadin spirit of the Commune which recently perpetrated in Paris horrors at which humanity stood aghast. While un der trial for his great crimes the Cos mopolitan Society of New York, the organ of which is Woodhtttt cfc ClaJ- lin's WeeXly, held a meeting and adopted among others the following resolutions: Hcsolred. That with all our hearts we hope and pray that for the sake of human nature the present ire tic n government will not sacrifice on the altar of humau venpence our brother and co-worker, Henri Koch fort. Ecmlivd, That in him the cause of the people has had one of its ablent, most earnest ami noblest advocates; one who, throughout hi life, ha.i braved death and spurned place and power and fame in the service of liber ty and truth. These resolutions were offered by a woman named Frances Rose Mackin ley, and adopted with great enthusi asm. The recognition of Rochefort as a " co-worker" cannot be misunder stood ; the abolition of the marrriage rite, of the Christian religion and of social order, and the substitution in their stead of Atheism, prostitution and universal license without law are all included in the endorsement. Have we written truly? Let that pure-minded champion of woman's rights, Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull, answer. We copy from her paper of Aug. 5th, 1871, as follows: Let Pharisaical self righteousness howl as it will, marriapre the conse crated, the ordained of God as it now exists, is doomed. Some hold up their hands in holy horror, and cry out, "Oh, how can you speak no of that sacred institution?" Sacred it might have been once, but, like the old Jewish temnle.it has become the habitation of all that is foul and unclean, the stronghold of all that is beaut ly and low. Smooth it over as you will, the fact will loom up that marriage, as now ex ist. Is rotten to the core, and a stench to all pure-minded and truth-loving people- . . i Need we say more to prove that the leaders in the woman's rights movement are Communists and ene mies to the best interests of humani ty ? We deal with principles, not with individuals. We accord to Miss Anthony and Mrs. Woodhull the right to teach, and to all who wish to do so the right to echo their senti ments, but we claim the privilege of stripping the gauze of sophistry from their clamor for the ballot and exhib iting them in their true character. Against an appeal, from a respectable majority, of the intelligent women of the United States, for the ballot, we have no protest to offer. But when women of the character of Mrs. Woodhull and any number of her en dorsers, male or female, make such an appeal and shamefully flaunt in the faces of an enlightened people the banner of the French Commune, they outrage all decency and are neither entitled nor authorized to represent the pure and noble wives, mothers and daughters of this country. ; It is needless for the more timor ous among the would-be leaders in this movement to deny their sympa thy with Mrs. Woodhull in her Cosmo-political theory. Miss An thony, Mrs. Stanton, and every other advocate who has attained distinction in the cause, boldly proclaim the same doctrine. That it is de signed to unsettle civilized society and is debasing in its tendency we aver, and in proof refer to the quotations we have made from the leading ora cle of the movement,'Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull. A Wyoming husband advertises himself as a monthly nurse. He says his wife formerly supported the family by that business ; but since she ; ac quired the right to vote and sit on juries she does nothing but talk pol itics, and so, be must keep the family up, or ; himself and children will starve. ,-. - . -. Mrs. Du-tn wat's paper says "old maids are made : in heaven." The sooner the material of wiiich the An thony stripe is made is exausted the better for this mundane sphere. Ben.

An exchange sajs Susan Anthony is "still stirring the people of Oregon up with a sharp stick." We always supposed Sutan was down on "sharp sticks," but it seems she unn one oc casionally. The County Commissioners of Ma rion county have sold the old Court House to Messrs. G. W. Lawson and J. H. Hawkins, and it is to be re moved and a new one built where it now stands. Susan Anthony lectured in the Cir cus tent at Salem, and some bad boys called her the "old clown." They should be put into their little beds and rocked to sleep with a weeping willow bough.

The Sentinel tells of a brave boy scarcely in his teens who killed two deer recently in Jackson county. He went home after a horse and when he returned he found two large pan thers bad taken possession of his game and proceeded deliberately and shot them both. A Jackson county girl last week absented on her wedding day, just about ten minutes befor the ceremony was to come off. The guests were all on hand, the minister was there, and the feast was ready but the bride wasn't. She will probably turn upi like Geneva of old, in a mouldered chest some day. "Sic SekperTtrakjcis.'' A cor respondent of the New Yoak World, writing from Richmond, September 4th, upon the situation of political parties in Virginia, concludes a very in teresting letter with these encourag ing words, which all who know any thing about Virginia politics will re cognize as true : As for Virginia, we say now, as heretofore, and always, that her people will vote against the Radicals and the Administration for ever. The Radical party is broken here beyond all possiblity of reinteg ration. I have some interesting items concerning the antecedents ot some of their leaders which I may hereafter submit to your readers' con sideration. Meantime we rejoice in the conviction that they are doomed to be ronyjd, horse, foot and dragoon, in the coming canvass, and their pow er destroyed forever in tho Old Do minion. All the strength which the carpet-bag element now wields is got ten from Grant's good favor and pat ronage. Even that strong cement does not keep them well welded to gether, and when it shall have been withdrawn wo may expect to see the whole edifice crumble and sink out of flight in the sablo waves of negro aud Radical' submersion. McGlynx, the Republican nominee for State Harbor Commissioner of California, was defeated by two thou sand majority, while the rest of his ticket was elected by five thousand majority, solely because he was a Catholic. . The Puritan and Know Nothing element in that party is very great, aud cannot be brought to vote for a Catholic, and more particularly a : Catholic Irishman. We wonder how long it will take that element of the foreign population to learn that the Radical party of this country baa no sympathy with them ?

The fire in Chicago is still t aging, and is now burning on both siden of the river, sweeping all before it. The entire business part of the city is de st roved from Harrison street north to Chicago avenue, and eat of the river to the Lake. The burnt district embraces three miles in length and a mile and a half in width. Every ho tel, bank, express office, telegraph office, theater and newspaper offices and wholesale houses in the city are totally destroyed, with maqy thou sand dwellings. The water works are destroyed. This morning the wind is blowing a gale and the sky is lurid. No one can tell what the end will be. The only salvation for the remainder of the city is in the wind keeping in the present direction. Many thousand people are homeless and most of them tn a destitute condition. Unburned streets for mil are lined with house hold goods. . No one dares to think what the loss of life may be. The flames swept through the city, with the rapidity of a prairie fire, and many must have perished. One hundred thousand persons are homeless and without food. A lot of prisoners nnder the old jail were burned to death. lhe very latest dispatch yesterday says everything from Twelfth street northward, and Canal street on the west, to the lake is burned; al the business part of the city is burnt ex cept a small portion of the westside.

A telegram from Chicago says that a fire is raging on Thirty-first street. This street is two miles south of the southern fire line on the southern side, and a little less than that from the limit on the western side.

It is known that two men, who were caught in the act of firing buildings, have been shot, and others led oil' with ropes around their necks. As tho wind is now blowing a perfect gale" the end now cannot he told. - The village of Casello, Indiana, on the line of the Fort Wayne Railroad about thirty miles from Chicago, took fire from the fire raging on the prai ries and was entirely destroyed.

The Washington Chronicle says: "There was nothing left of the great Democratic party except its head af ter the election of 1868." ; , To which the Atlanta Sun retorts: " But that head contained about all the brains in the country, and that brains, pitted against : fraud, corrup tion in high places, usurpation, criminal waste of public money, and other equally flagratious conduct, is expect ed to win a victory for the Demo crats, over Radicalism, next year."
