A BAD CITY.


A BAD CITY.
An Indiana paper gives the following
! &c cription of Chicago, Illinois. From this
description we might infer that Sodom and
! Gomorrah were not a circumstance to the
great city of the West
| Chicago is the strongest black republi-
| can city in the Union. 1t is the city where
the St. Louis man died, and, upon max
ing application for admittance into para
disc, was assured by St. Peter that he was
the first man who had ever made his ap-
pearance at that gate from that place. 1t
| is the city where men poison their wives
so that they may marry their wives sis
tiers. 1t is the city where a poor widow
went to seven physicians all of whom re-
fused to attend her child which had been
burnt by falling piece of timber, until
the fee was paid. 1t is the city of assas
sinntinns Of nrsnne of riot;"e .-"A Of -''''-
dyism the place where honest men dare
not walk the streets after nightfall, and
where rowdies revel at noon day. 1t is
the habitation of bogus bankers and swind-
lers of every grade where ministers preach
politics and utter the vilest falsehoOds from
| the pulpit. 1t is the head quarters of Emil
grant Aid society, and the treasury Of the
Kansas fund is kept there. From its dens
and perlieus Of infamy an invading army of
gamblers, assassins and thieves have gone
to Kansas at the bidding of Beecher and
his satellites, to SOW the seeds of vice and
immortality in that beautiful country, and
which it will take years of labor on the
good and the virtuous to eradicate. 1t is
the hot bed of treason, niggerlsm, and vice
and immortality of every grade-the recruit
ing station of the devil himself. History
neither in the times past, nor the present
neither in this country nor the old world
furnishes its equal in all that is vile, demon
alzing and degrading.
In all its parts--in law; in society; in
politics, in morality, and in religion, it
blends most tremendously. Fusionism, free
bootism, treason and disunion cannot do
otherwise than flourish in Chicago. The
soil is adapted TO their growth. 1t is mois>
tened by the blood of virtue and patriotism
and warmed by the heat from the very bot
temlcss pit itself
GREAT BUSINESS IN GRAIN.-The receipts
of grain at Milwaukee, Wis, on the lst
instant, is said to have amounted to over
10000 bushels, about $4,000 bushels of
which was wheat. The American of that
city says:
1--WE understand that all the roads are
now used to their utmost capacities in
bringing forward the produce from the
interior. These immense recei pts have had
the effect to depress the market somewhat
though the very liberal price of 81 ,O3
was paid for straight lots Of club wheat
yesterday, and $l,12 to $l,I8 for white
winter. We learn that vessels to arrive
have been chartered for wheat to Buffalo
at ii cents. The amount of stuffs TO 90
forward for the next 60 days will be
100000 bushels per week at low
estimate, employing the clearance of 100
vessels per week. If we allow 20 days to
each vessel for trip, the number to be
employed would amount to $40 vessels. We
are under the impression that this is as many
grain carrying vessels as visit the upper
lakes and probably more"
PULPIr PoLITENEss.-At Lempster, n.
H., few Sabbaths since, political divine,
whose anxiety for the Kingdom of, Kansas
is greater at the present time than for the
kingdom of heaven, preached political
discourse in which he alluded to the demo,
Gratis of his congregation in such unpleasant
terms as to induce quite a number to leave
the house, The political address finished
the very devoted minister, III a fervent
manner, thanked God that among Other
things granted unto him, "he possessed the
power Of casting out devilsm
