DIR. 8. Maupin, professor at the University
of Virginia, was thrown out OF carriage on
the 10th, while returning to Lynchburg from
the fair grounds, and was SO severely injured

The St. Louis Republican few days ago
recommended the Democratic party to make
no Presidential nominations for 1872, Dut
leave the Conservative Republicans to put
NO candidate in opposition to the nominee Oh
the Radical wing. These were the tactlcs
successfully ayailed OF to rescue Missouri from
the control of the same wing OF that party.
It is now stated that the article faVoring tnis
policy was written by Carl schurz, which,
however, is very doubtful.
"A Chicago correspondent writes: ZINE

thousand people day. They calculate mat IL
will cost million dollars every twenty days
to dc it. But as the system becomes better es-
tablished, they will be able 10 discriminate
more closely than they can do now between
genuine distress and imposture. They have
been dealing out rations 10 judges Of the su-
preme Court of Illinois, the leaders ofthe CHI
cago bar, and Chicago bankers; but it is to be
hoped this is transient. They will be aole' too'
to reduce waste to minimum. Their re-
sources are chiefly the gifts which have come

S "a W washington telegram says ii fhe pro-
clamatlon suspending the writ Of haoeas corpus
in South Carolina does not take among the
political friends OF the administration with
that turore which its instigators hoped to ac-
complish. On the contrary, 1t is being looked
upon by many Republicans as ill-timed and un-
called for. The evidences by the so-called Ku-
Klux organization being a political movement,
are wanting to give strength to the assertions
that such proclamation was necessary. None
of the public departments here, not. even the
bureau of Justice, which has the prosecution OF
Ku-Klux abettors under lts special supervi-
sion, have discovered thai the alleged bands.
>ar.clans, are sustained by any political senti-
meht In the South unless 1t be of those who
hope to make capital thereby. 1t begins to be
shown that Republican leaders, as well as the
business communities generally in the North,
are becoming disgusted with the repeated and
unIustfable reports Of general outlawry in
Southern States"
The Western rivals of Chicago are already
preparing to appropriate the business on
which that city has thriven. The St. Louis
Republican publishes statistics Of the trade Of
Chicago, points to the great void occasloned
in the commerce OF the Northwest, and claims
that new duty devolves upon st. Louis.
That duty Is not to wrest from Chicago its le-
eltlmate trade, but to supply the regions now
cut off from the Lake City. The st. Louis people
are exhorted not to be idle, but 10 so at once
into the field, buy the farmers crops, and sell
him the ''store goods" he wants. AS one
means of securing this trade, the employment
of the many idle men in Chicago-merchants
who have lost all as we'll as statesmen, thrown
out of situation-who know the men, the
laws and the trade of The Northwest, is invi-
ted. These would serve St. Louis's interest,
and form an addition to the population. Gin
cinnati, Milwaukee and some other enterpris-
Ing places are also quietly conspiring against
the burned-out city.
Chicago will remain, as long as the world
endures, a synonym not only for the greatest
conaagratlon but also the no blest exhibition of
charity ever witnessed. The prodigious Gum
of s., 900 have been given to the distressed
Inhabitants OF that city within the past ten
days; and, according to a calculation, this
would, If divided equally among the sufferers,
provide two hundred dollars for each family.
This is small amount for the comparatively
few wealthy families that are affected by the
fire, bat to the great majority it will prove am
pie for the time being, and until the labor,
which will inevitably be required soon in re-
building the city, shall have been begun. The
danger now is that in the confusion Of the mo.
nent charity MAJ be misapplied. 1t is pleas
ant to reflect that the citizens are thus placed
beyond the reach of absolute want, and the
liberal heart turns instinctively to the poor
victims Of the forest conhagrations in Michi-
gan and Wisconsin. 1 J are fewer than the
Chicago sufferers, but their destitution Is at
present more complete and pltiabe The Chi.
cagoans have at least tent TO sleep under and

where to lay their heads, and are many of
