? THE CHICAGO COHTLAGEATIOir.
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

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

selves together in a corporate com

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

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. ,-. - . -.

"Sic SekperTtrakjcis.'' A cor

writing from Richmond, September
4th, upon the situation of political

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

great, aud cannot be brought to vote
for a Catholic, and more particularly

the foreign population to learn that
the Radical party of this country baa
no sympathy with them ?

Ax Excellent Ketort. We take
the following elegant hit from Hon.
A. II. Stevens' paper, the Atlanta Sun:
The Courier-Journal wivs : "When
we see the name of Alexander II.
Stephens linked with such names as
11. Emmet Monagban, 8. Edwin Me
gragee and 1. Gray Meek, we may be
pardoned for indulging a distant sus-
f)icion that Mr. Stephens will ultimate
y part hii hair in the middle." And
when the name of the editor of the
Courier-Journal is seen linked with
the names of H- Manton Marble, P.
"Moxa" Morton and B. Flunky Butler,
it is understood that a combined ef
fort is to be made to part the Demo
cratic party in the middle.
Gov Woods is ready for any emer
gency and will maintain tlje law at
any cost. Utah Dispatch.
Geo. L. Woods has underwent re
generation if he can be trusted to
"maintain the law," cost or no cost.
Elections came off in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Iowa last Tuesday,
but.up to the hour of going to press
last night no tidings of the result had
reached us.
