CHICACO.

For many years the name which we have
written at the head of these lines has rarely
been spoken but with some form of typical
superlative. When Miss Bremen visited us
some score of years ago, she expressed her
anxiety to go to the West to see Chicago, " the
"home of Loki and Thor the supernatural
Forces" ALI over-Europe there was the
same vague and credulous wonder as to
this marvellous town which had risen
from the marshy border of the great lake,
with the suddenness and ease of an exhala-
ton. There was no story too wild to obtain
credence when the scene was laid in Chicago
1t was, after York, the best known name
in Europe, for every village and hamlet
had sent some of their enterprisinp
children there, who wrote letters home
full OF the strange vivid life of
that strong new land. lit was scarcely
considered an American city among the simple
peasantry of Europe. The genial South Ger.
man thought it colony of Austria, The
Swedish farmers regarded it as an appanaee of
the Scandinavian race. Even the home-loynp
Frenchman felt that there he would be amono
| friends and kindred. 1t touched by these del
| icate chords Of sympathy every nation and
every township in the world.
At home, where no element of fable entered
into our ideas, the city seemed scarcely less
remarkable in its growth and its robust indi.
viduanty. With less population than many
others, it has for long time claimed, with
general assent, the position of the second city
on the Continent. There was a breadth of
municipal life, force and vieor Of commercial
activity, CHEEKY and confident self-assertion
which impressed the country, andmade us take
| the lusty young city at its own valuation. In
readiness of resource, in the application OF
force to the novel problems arising from its
rapid growth and development, it seemed to
take rank with the great capitals. 1t seemed
sufficient for itself in all emergencies. To

fruitful prairies poured into its bins. it in.

drawn in favor Of the lumber merchants for
S483, 900 g., There Ia mistiness about the
transaction, Schuyler insisting that he only
received about $4S,OO0 (though he refuses to
show his books and the city and bank ac-
count showing that the warrants for the first
named large amount were drawn and paid.
But it is clear enough that about $4,000 was
paid out by the City on fraudulent pretense
We do not know among whom this bit OF
plumber was divided; but it was paid by order
of VIM. NJ, Tweed. And this is fair sample
of the multitudinOus thefts Committed on the
City.
Where the millions on millions Of City funds
have gone to, we may never clearly ascertain.
The cash has been divided among many men,
but it was raked out Of the Treasury by
the connivance of A. Oakley Hall, Richard B.
Connolly, VIM. NJ. Tweed, James Watson, and
Peter B. Sweeny In some form or another,
one or all of these men certified to the genuine
ness of the so-called claims against the
City on which the stupendons frauds were
committed. On their responsibility the money
was disbursed; who had shares in the stolen
cash we can only guess. Yet these men lex
cent the deceased Watson), whose betrayal Of
great public trusts has amounted TO tower
ing crime, arc yet in office, and hold on to
their place with brazcn efrontery, and inr-
pudently ask that the people shall
leave them alone still further. That these
officials have not been driven forth with the
scourgings of popular Indignation is one OF
the marvels of the day. But whether their
stay in Office be longer or shorter, their moral
ruin is complete and the examiners whom
they have invited declare that their manage
ment of fduciary trusts has been corruP'
wanton, and wickedly wasteful.

New-York tribune., 1871-10-10

The sentence of Paymaster Hodge, severe
as it is, does not seem excessive, if we reflect
upon the gross willful and deliberate theft
of which he has been guilty. AS originally
decided upon by the Court Martial, the pun
ishment amounted to imprisonment for lfe as
modified by the President, it exempts him from
further imprisonment after his ten years at
hard labor shall have expired. But, compared
with the punishment which has been visited
on many others who have been convicted of
stealing from the United States Government
while employed in the civil service, it must be
confessed that the sentence of the Court-Martial
seems oppressive. There is a gross disparity
between the sentences pronounced on military
swindlers and those in the civil departmental
Too often, in fact, the latter escape all pun
ishment by compromising with the Gov
ernment, or by their bondsmen max
ing good the amount of their abstrac
tions. The War Department is not
too severe. but the other Departments are too
lax in their discipline. We venture to say
that a few such sentences as that passed
upon Paymaster Hodge would, if rendered in
the civil service, be a wholesome lesson to
the thieves who steal from the Treasury
almost with impunity.

II would be calamitous to mistake the mean
ing of the Texas election. That State has de-
cided that her present legislators and rulers
cost more than they come to- Just as this
City will pronounce against the Tammany Ring,
if her votes are fairly pOlled and counted, 20
Texas has decided that she chooses to be
more frugally and uprigh1y governed in the
future than in the immediate past. That ia
what the result of her election means, and
others should be admonished by it.
This vote gives the Republicans of Texas
the uphill fight to make for their next Legs-
lature and for next President. They may yet
win if it can be clearly understood that they
have turned over new leaf, and that their
embryo Tweeds and Connollys are to take
back he9ceforth. In that case the Demo-
Gratis are sure to help them by betraying, in
the excitement and exultation melted by their
triumph, how much of the old Rebel virus Of
negro-hate still poisons their blood Should
the Republicans refuse to heed the lesson and
turn over new leaf, they will be under foot
'Or years.

MAYOR HAIL..

The Star, in defense of Mayor Halls official
approval of the monstrous bills of InscIsoll,
Garvey, &C., says:
"Mayor Hall has done precisely what he thinks he
should have done. For instance creditor presents
bill at the Controllers Office. 1t is first checked and
amned by the entry clerk then passes to the Auditor
who investigates It thOrOughly satisfied he stamps IT,
and indorses 1t with his 1t then goesto the Deputy
Controller who directs warrant to be made In
formy to the amount ndorsed by the Auditor the
rant is then sent with bill to the Controller
sicuature and then it is sent and generally
taken at q time, to the Mayor for his signature.
Now the Controller ia the Mayors subordinate, charged
with the very duty which Mr. Greeley says the Mayor
should nrust TO another subordinate, and 1t would be
not only absurd but the extremity OF folly expense and
delay were the Mayor to reinvestgae by other officers
the bills and accounts already passed and certified by
officials paid TO perform that particular duty Would MT
i The warrant being laid with others, on the Mayors
desk receives without question, his signature, and is
returned to the Controllers Office There 1t registered
and when handed to the creditor, is dated and
signed by the Register"
Comments by The Tribune.
We repeat the avowal of our conviction that
Mayor Hall should resign or be removed on
his own showing, whether guilty OF embezzle-
ment for his own profit or not. Bear in mind
that this journal has from year to year in
sisted that the immense sums votee Ostennbly
to build, equip and furnish, the new Court
House, were in good part stolen-that they
were voted in order to bs stolen. Mayor
Hall is Journalist, and of course reads
the newspapers. He used to be Repub-
hcan, and has not yet broken himself Of the
| naoit OF reading THE TRIBUNE. He knew,
therefore, that we denounced these Court House
disbursements as fraudulent; he knows that
we DO not make such charges at random. Yet
mere come fresh bills upon bills, day after
day, for plumbing, painting, plastering, car
peting, &C., after enough had been paid for
these purposes to plaster, paint, plumb,

We publish to-day very fun and compre-
hensve resume of the condition of the crops
in Europe and the harvest returns. FROM
these reports our readers may gather clear
idea of the general result of agricultural
labor in Great Britain and Central Eu-
rope. In England, the Winter prospect is not
a cheerful one, and the losses sustained by
stock -raisers supplement those of short crops
and the spread of the potato disease. The re-
turns from other parts of Europe arc more
encouraging, but the general impression de-
rived from a review of the whole field is much
less favorable than that which was formed from
a review of our own harvest-felds, published IN
TIE TRIBUNE few weeks since. Indeed
compared with the condition of American
breadstuff markets, those of Great Britain and
many parts of Europe arc in a very stratened
condition; and this fact, added 70 the ap-
probation of prices sure to follow the deStruc-
ton of Chicago, may be taken as warning OF
future high prices in the West.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-10

1t seemed yesterday to he the conviction of
the most intelligent underwriters that the
Chicago calamity would eventually result in
such reforms in the rates of premium, the
assumption of risks, and the bringing about
of better understanding between companies,
as would place the business of underwriting
on soundcr basis. 1t may also lead to
such legislation by the several States
as will make it more difficult for new
companies to be organized as too many
now are, with insufficient capital, or for exist
ing ones to conceal their weakness from the
public eye The convocatiOn IN this city next
week of the Insurance Commissioners of
twenty or more States who compose the Ma
tional Insurance Convention, becomes, in view
of these facts, matter of general concern,
for this body has it in its power by the concur
rent action of its members, to bring about
almost any legislative action that the exigen-
cies of the moment may seem to demand.

The most encouraging news we have lately
seen from Spain is the statement that the
Progresstas and Democrats have held caucus
and have resolved upon radically liberal
programme of parliamentary action. This pur-
pose drove Sagasta out of the meeting, and,
it is to be hoped, may drive him out of the
party. The resolutions of Spanish conventions
are not always to be blindly received-a par
tioular in which they differ from ours. But
the events Of the last year have been rapidly
educating the Radicals of Spain into policy
which may give them a right to their name.

A correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, writing
from Lowell, furnishes us a striking and pleas
ant picture of the chara .terstic features of the
City of Spindles. The "whte slaves of New
England" as some superficial people call the
factory operatives, are not altogether such
children of misery as many would have us be-
heve; though we can understand how soon
they would be like paupers, if not protected
from competition with foreign pauper labor.
