THE CHICAGO HOEEOE.
Many scenes and incidents connect
ed with the Chicago fire must have
been absolutely horrible. Dispatches
to the San Francisco papers in regard
' to the conflagration were much fuller
than those sent to the Portland dailies,
and describe the scenes with a vivid
JIC93 wuiuu oiiuuag vaitrto vuv vvf buuu-
der with horror at the spectaclo pre
h-UiaV AMnonA n ..V. i. .1
sented. The fire originated in m large
planing mill, breaking out about mid
night, and increased with such speed
that nothing in the line of property
"which lay in its course could be saved.
The inmates of many houses were
only startled from their slumbers in
time to rush into the streets in their
scanty night-robes, and even some
were wholly unable to escape, and be
came a prey to the devouring element.
In several instances children, hastily
wrapped in blankets and quilts to
break the force of their fall,' were
thrown from second-story windows to
the ground. ' Mention is made of an
heroic mother, who, after dropping
her babe in Bafety to the ground,
found herself surrounded by the
flamesand unable to escape. Her re
mains' were burned to cinders and
were afterwards found among the
charred and smoking ruins of her re
cent home. Men, women and chil-
dren, in attempting to save property
or to rescue friends, were cut off from
escape by the flames and either smoth
ered with smoke or destroyed by fire.
It is said that a vessel passing up the
river through the burnt district, on
bridge drawn while a hundred people
"were crossing on it, and before it
could be returned to its place this
large mass of human beings were eu-
veloped in flames and burned to death.
"When the gas works were blown up
the report could be heard for miles,
and flying missiles were hurled through
the air in every direction, sending
burning brands among crowds of peo
ple in the vicinity.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
ruin wrought may be gleaBed from
the fact that more than two hundred
blocks, including the very heart of the
city, on which stood the hotels, banks,
printing offices, insurance offices and
Chamber of Commerce, reaching up
north a distance of at least six miles,
were swept away before the irresisti
ble fury of . the raging , element.
Panned by a high wind from the
sooth, the red waves poured on, bear
ing in their fiery current lofty and
magnificent structures like the Pacific
Ilotel, the Custom House and the
Court House. So vivid was the blaze
that the water-pipes and the Nicholson
pavement on the principal streets
were burned, and the heat was so in
tense in the main part of the city
that no one could remain near the
Kccne ui wie Diacitenea ruins.
The fire raged for nearly three days
with the most merciless fury, and was
at last extinguished by a heavy show
er of rain, alter all attempts to quell
it by human effort had failed. The
scenes after the fire were even more
distressing than during its progress,
and absolutely beggars , description.
Thdusands of people were almost
frenzied by their losses, and acted and
looked like maniacs many of them
standing about, where the heat was
not too great, gazing with lack-luster
'eyes on the ruins of their homes,
while frequent agonized shrieks and
groans might be heard to issue from
the lips of the despairing and desti-
iui; ciuwu. t uiueu wno oau never
, known anything but luxury were in
one short hour driven from their
crumbling homes into the streets,
crouching among the ruins, and shiv
ering for the want of sufficient cover
ing for their persons, and wondering
where they were to find food and
.shelter for the morrow. In some
places where enough of the walls
- were left standing to form a partial
-.shelter, groups of women and chil
dren .were huddled together for
warmth the piteous wail of babes,
mingling with the moaiuof helpless
mothers.', -'
It would require many, columns to
give anything like a full account of
the harrowing spectacles which are
but they are such as must appeal to
the strongest sympathies of the civil
ized world, and will certainly result
in a hearty response in the way of
substantial aid to the many thousands
of Bufterers.by this great calamity..
Whex men become such liars that
they never speak the truth, they are not
so dangerous after all, for everybody
knows that they are continually lying
under the visionary extravagance of
their corrupt imagination. To. reply
to such a chronic -.lar as the Baker
City " tumble-bug," wqtild be to dig
nify his lies and give his libelious ut

THE STATU FAHU .
"We were present at the State Fair
on Friday and Saturday of last week,
and can hardly say that vo were deep
ly impressed with cither its manage
ment or the variety and amount qf
articles on exhibition. The grounds
and buildings Were in a better condi
tion than we have ever seen them at
that, place, but there seemed to be
general dissatisfaction with the Mar
shals and some of the other officials,
and we heard considerable complaint
at the manner in which premiums
were5 awarded. In the pavilion the
show was especially meagre being
much inferior to that of last year. In
the line of fine arts, mechanical con
trivances, needle-work, etc, our Linn
County Fair was scarce behind it.
, . The "Floral Wing" of the Pavilion
was the best filled of any department
of the Fair," and, -With its rich and
luscious fruits, and rare and lovely
flowers,, it presented the appearance
of a miniature Eden.
In the equine and bovine - depart
ments there was alike a scarcity of
stock, and in the swine stalls the long
line of empty pens was the prominent
feature, while a few solitary sheep
elsewhere looked as if they had been
retired on half pay and overlooked
by the Commissary sergeant. In fact
there was a lamentable deficiency
about tho entire Fair that would give
the strang-er a very unfavorable im
pression of Oregon enterprise.
There is no excuse for this save in
the mismanagement on the part of
those who have the Fair under their
superintendence. "We have wealthy
stock:raisers and fine stock we have
the best farming lands in the world
we have enterprising and ingenious
people, and a sufficient amount of ar
ticles of almost every variety would
be brought to the State exhibition, if
the inducements were such as to war
rant them in doing so, to compare
favorably with much older common
wealths. Let the managers of- the
Fair hereafter cease to make foe lish,
absurd and impracticable rules for the
government of those who seek adrais-
sionat their gates; let them select a I
careful, judicious and discreet Chief
Marshal, and distribute their premi
ums with a tendency to encourage the
exhibition of that which is useful and
beneficial, rather than to thrust for
ward those features which are least
calculated to result in the prosperity
and advancement of our State and the
development of its unbounded re
sources ; and then they may expect
to render satisfaction to the public
and a general benefit to the State at
large. -
the mE maro.
The great fire at Chicago absorbed
so much of the world's attention that
the fact was for a time overlooked
that even more extensive and destruc
tive conflagrations were transpiring
in the more isolated portions of the
Great Northwest. From Minnesota,
Michigan and Northern Wisconsin
the news is appalling. : In Wisconsin
over fifteen hundred human lives have
been sacrificed to the Fire Fiend, and
hundreds of miles of country along
the line of the conflagration have been
completely scorched op and depopu
lated. Corn. Lay, cereals, live stock,
etc., have met the same fate and have
become a prey to the devouring ele
ment, while thousands of people have
become fleeing refugees from their
obliterated homes and are utterly des
titute, with a long, cold, cheerless
winter already staring them in the
face and chilling their unclad limbs
with its frigid breath. The Chicago
people are already partially supplied
with necessaries for winter, but hun
dreds of the sufferers by these North
ern fires are so far removed from the
habitations of plenty that they will
never be reached by the hand of char
ity, and will doubtless be forced to
succumb to the , merciless winds of
winter and the pinching pangs of hun
ger before spring shall again return.
These distressing events call for the
exercise of the most unlimited charity
on the part of those W'hom Provi
dence has blessed with an abundance
of this world's goods. Li '
A jtegro bandit, named Lowry, at
the . head of an organized band of
black oulaws has established a reign
of terror in North Carolina. For
three months past this black despara
do has been robbing, murderiug, and
burning in two or - three counties,
without opposition, save an occasion
al temporary organization, of the terror-stricken
populace. The Govern
ment has plenty troops In North Car
olina, but they are engaged in hunt
ing down imaginary--Ku-KIux,' and
have , no time to spend in looking
after such little Regularities as citi
zen Lowry is guilty of. Frightening
negroes by means of streaks of phos
phorus, or a white sheet wrapped
about the body, is a crime to be pun
ished by imprisonment, but murder
and arson, if committed by black out
laws, are mere trifles. .

'rare Ben. Butler," JDuring the war

since hedefeated himself for Governor

HASTY CONCLUSIONS.
'The, Radical jress throughout the
State are endeavoring to make politi
cal capital out of the fact that 'Joseph
Wells, who killed Dennis, near i Ash
land, Jackson comity, was a Demo
cratic member of the last Legislature.
As Jackson is a strong Democratio
county, they would promulgate the
idea that Democratio officials are
guilty of tho crime of allowing him
to run off on a bail of $3,000. The
truth of the matter is that Wells was
brought before Atmon V. Gillctt, the
bell-wether of the radical party in the
precinct of Ashland, which always
goes Republican by a vote of nearly
two to one. Gillctt, after hearing all
the evidence of the case, decided to
admit him to bail, and as soon as his
bonds were filed Wells left for parts
unknown. Our Republican cotempo
raries should be more careful in future
and tell both sides of the story.
In this connection we desire to men
tion the course of the two Jackson
ville papers in regard to this affair.
The Sentinel tool Time iiave both ex
ceeded the province of impartial jour
nals in alluding to this case, so much so
that they may have been said to have
tried and convted Joe Wells even
before he has been caught. In this
they have shown bad judgment, for if
he should be taken, it would now be
almost impossible to find a jury in the
county ot Jackson to try him. As
the editors of each of those papers
claim to be lawyers we suggest that
they refrain from convertinjr newspa
pers into judicial tribunals for the fu
ture. ' " THE LATE ELECTIONS.
' The elections which enme off in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa, last
week, are simply a repetition of our
late California disaster, which disaster
is a natural consequence of cowardly
platforms and policy candidates.
Pennsylvania gives 12.000 Radical
majority, Ohio gives 20,000 and Iowa
gives the Lord only knows how
much ! They have all three "gone
where tho woodbine twineth," and the
Democratic candidates who expected
to catch Black Republican votes with
BlacI: Republican angle worms have
taken new departure for Salt River.
Democrats can and mtgltt to win
upon a platform which enunciates'
Democratic pri.iciples, and by putting
forth candidates who talk pure and
nndcfiled Democracy ; and the sooner
they conclude to do that the sooner
will we regain our recent losses ; but
when we endorse tbe ; mot infamous
and corrupt measures .of the Radical
party we ought to be jlaxed out on
every battle field. .Whsn we pro
claim ourselves champions of tliat
which we know to le wrong, we then
cease to be honest, and no party
should be permitted to gain power by
trickery, deception and fraud.
From the Salem Statesman we lr-Arn
that the Indian Convocation in t bat
city last Friday was attended by j 00
Indians. "One of the Indian spet k
ers was Joe Hutchins, of Alsea, wh o
told bow he saw the first missonariet
arrive. They were poor when they
firet arrived, hadn't horses and came
in a canoe. He was glad to see tbem
and treated them well, gave tbem
something to eat, and felt sorry for
them. He went on to say that he
didn't understand how it was that
they all grew rich and he grew poor,
and he proposed to learn tbe way it
was done and begin at this late day
to practice the same things that made
the white man prosper. Joe Hutch
ins gave the audience to understand
that this site of Salem was bis origi
nal home, the property of his ' tribe.
His recital of early incidents and bis
impressions concerning civilized life
were interesting. There were sever
al other Indian speakers, but they
were hardly as eloquent as Hutchins.
, Charles Kandle, of Wasco county,
was last week accidentally killed by a
"spring gun" which was set in . the
window of a neighbor's house. He
went to the house while the occupant
was gone, and attempted to enter
the house by the window for the pur
pose of getting some of his own prop
erty, when the gun went off, lodging
its contents m his abdomen and kill
ing him almost instantly. He was a
respectable citizen and leaves a young
wife to mourn the great calamity
which robbedhejr of his compJkion
sbip and protection.' The above from
the tfbuntaineer., ,
". Ben. Holladay was refused admis
sion to the Stae Fair because he de
clined to wear his bodge on the front

cal Highness now threatens to tear
down the depot at the Fair grounds,
turn the railroad in another direction,
divert the channel of the Willamette
away from Salem : and remove the
capital of the State to Junction City.

Chicago w'as visited by a fnrious
gale last night. It earned much
alarm to the citizens; especially to
those residing in the vicinity of the
late fire. Fire brands were blown
about in every direction. . Skeleton
walls were prostrated in quick suc

Much alarm prevailed, the f people
rushing into the street from their
dwellings in many instances, . fearful
