GREAT FIRE IN CHICAGO.

4 fire broke out about o'clock, on
Tuesday even Of last week, in the
Rosenfeld Bros hat store, in Burches'
building, corner Of Lake Street and
Wabash avenue, and spread with fear
full rapidity. Within an hour the
entire block was a mass ofruins level
ed to the ground. The fire burned
with the greatest violence, bursting
out of the windows in the rear and
front from the first to the fifth floors,
the utmost efforts Of the fire
department appearing entirely inef-
fectual.
AMONG the principal sufferers are,

PRESIDENT JOHNSON is reported still

President JOHNSON is reported still
to entertain the desire to be candi-
date for reelection. He can never
become the nominee of the Democratic
party; for they have 10 more regard
for him than the Republicans, farther
than to use him in the advancement
of their own political interests, and
they have not particle Of confidence
in his political honesty. He cannot
expect nomination from Republicans
after betraying them once. His only
hope then must rest upon the skeleton
of party headed by Senator Doolit-
tie. in which case he may fatter him
self that he viii get a few Democrat
ic votes. He may be a candidate but
he can never be elected President Of
the United States. Had he been
true to his friends who made him Vice
President, his reelection would have
been as easy as was that of President
Lincoln in 1864. But his political
days are numbered and are drawing
rapidly to a close.

SCHOOL BOOKS,

The Legislature. and the press gen
orally throughout the state, are agita,
ting the subject of reform in the
system Of furnishing school books for
our Public Schools. 1t Is evident to
every one who has paid the least at
tention to the matter that something
should be done to reduce the price of
school books to something near the
rates charged for other printed matter.
At present prices Publishers and
agents are getting rich upon the money
of those least able to bear the burden
of exorbitant prices for the books from
which their children arc TO obtain
an education. To make the burden
still greater the present "series p" sys-
TEN is resorted to- by which d child, in
pursuing the studies usually taught in
our common schools, needs a library
greater than can be found in the fam
lilies Of majority Of our citizens.
Take for instance Robinson's Mathe-
matical series for schools and acad-
amies, and you have tlceaty-one vol
umes, nine Of which are required for
the study Of Mental and Practical
Arithmetic Other series 3" are equal
" voluminous. and every book requir-
Ell by the student in pursuing his
studies costs more than double the
sum for which it could be afforded by
the Publishers, giving them liberal
profits. We have entirely too many
kinds Of school books, and district
| boards are often imposed upon BY
book agents who are literally paid for
introducing the various series into
schools We believe a good efficient
Board Of Education, composed Of prac-
teal teachers, might compile a better
set of school books than amy We now
have, and. that publishers could be
found who would gladly print them at
prices SO much below those now charg.
ed as to enable parents to procure
them for less than half now required
for books not as we'll adapted 20 the
capacities of scholars ana teachers
as they should be We hope to see
some reform IN our school book svs.

AN EPIToME OF AN "IsM" CONVENTION.
The New York Tribune thus epitOmizes some
late doings in a convention of the male and
female members of the Massachusetts, Anti
Slavery Society. After criticizing some OF
their doings, the Tribune says:
We have been led to make these remarks
by reading a digest of the doings of the Mas
sachusetts An;i-Slavery Society in Boston
last week. There were, it is true, some very
good resolutions sustaining Congress, and
calling loudly for Gen. Grants opinions.
Then came S. S. Foster, who wanted the suf-
frage for women. Then came Mrs. Foster.
who found fault with The Tribune. Then
came a Mr.. Swazey, who was for supporting
the Republican party. Then came Mr..
Everett, who charged ministers of the gospel
with pusillanimity in not supporting {" this
movement"-the nature Of the movement, as
usual, being left entirely unexplained, and
being. perhaps, inexplicable. Then came
Mr.. Phillips, with little supplementary and
sharp resolution against the Church for re-
fusing to aid "this movement" Then Mr..
Swazey begged Mr.. Phillips not to be SO Sc
we're upon Gen. Grant. for which, no doubt,
the General will be grateful. Then came
Mr.. Putnam, who did not think the Church
and Clergy worth noticing. Then came
bulletin from Mrs. Stone, announcing that
her health was better and that she was work
ing busily for " female suffrage Then Mr..
Foster announced that he would be more
faithful to the Church in future" And then
the Society adjourned.
When slavery was legally abolished, Mr..
Garrison the leader Of the great moral cru
SADIE against it, retired formally from the
agitating scenes in which his life had been
passed for which he has been roundly abused
by many of his former followers. He felt,
unquestionably, that the moral element OF the
question at least had been eliminated and
as he had resolutely refused all his life to
have anything to do with politics, he surren-
dered questions of reconstruction to practical
statesmen. His associates, some of whom
had never voted, and some of whom thought
it sinful to vote under any circumstances,
were left in possession of the Society and OF
its remaining newspaper. They transferred
their attention from Shareholders to member,
of Congress. They were not practical states
men. and they were not even practical politi-
clans, but they criticised acts of Congress as
if they had passed their lives in drafting
them, and in pushing them to third reading.
Hardly anything pleased them during Mr..
Lincoln's Administration hardly ANYTHING
has pleased them since. Now, Mr.. Philips
is good enough TO declare that Congress is
showing new temper Let Congress thank
God, and take courage!

opposite end blocked up with snow, and was
unable after a number of trials, to force a
passage out 1t was then determined to beat
a retreat, but when an attempt was made to
back out it was found that the train was
blockaded in the rear as well as in front, SO
the whole train remained shut up in the
tunnel Truly novel situation for the pas
sengers and all on the train
Lately the mails from California have
been brought over the mountains By the
Bonner Lake Route. We suppose that
it is in consequence of an attempt to
continue to bring them by that road
during the storm that has just passed
that We experience the present deten-
ton. If we mistake not, the Placerville
Route is designated in the contract for
the transportation of the mails across
the oierras and just now, while the
fast freight makes its trips regularly by
that route, what excuse is there for this
long detention of letters and papers at
Cisco?
