CH1cA 10, Nov. 6, 1869.-Our Office holders
into which the election, last Tuesday, threw
them. With q party majority of five or six
Thousand, to be defeated by a majority OF
eight or ter Thousand, is q revolution for
which they were not prepared, and which
astonished the victims almost as much as the
vanqnished. 1t is q lesson full of instruction
to politicians, and thus shows how unreliable
strong party may be when the servants 81
the people assume-or are supposed to as
sumo to be their masters. Many Republicans
who voted the party ticket, admit that, ex
cept for its influence upon the party-the
effect will be wholesome. The constitutional
Convention seems to be about equally divid-
cd between the two parties.
CASUALTIES AND CRIMES.
We have had an unusual number of acci-
dents, burglaries, robberies, stabbings and
other crimes the past week-one fire involv-
ing loss of $15, 900, and several smaller
fires. The Tribune afirme that the most
daring gang OF burglars and foot pads on
the continent has recently made Chicago its
headqu.rters, he and not a night passes bus
half dozen outrages are perpetrated. Last
Thursday evening whole family, consisting
OF Michael Eary, q street car conductor, his
wife. three children, sister and grandmother,
were chlorofoYmed, and his watch, $S5 in
money and many articles in clothing taken.
The house was so filed with chloroform that
the inmates were supplied, and suffered
severely, and visitors we're seriously affected
the next day.
LUTHERAN COUNCIL.
Tie general council of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church has been IN session here
three days, represented BY delegates from
New York to Texas. The denomination is
large, and numbers many learned and emf
nent men. The Wisconsin synod withdrew

fession offaith.

street tunnel will be Of gre At service in the
construction Of this.
THE oSE-HoRsE STREET CARS
on the Chicago City Railway have proved a
great accommodation to the public. They
run every two minutes, and when one is full
the door is closed and passengers have 70
wait for the next car. Many are SO imr att
ent that they try to crowa in when 1t is full
and the straps Of some cars have already
been broken in attempting to pull tho door
open.
Last week was unusually brisk. This week
being election week, trade has not been quite
SO active. Tho great want Of the trade, this
fall, has been, not TO sell, but to make collec-
tons.
