and therefore believes that the Treaty Is virtually con-

THE sentence Of the defaulter,
Hodge, to ten years in the Peniten.
tiary, is nm evidence that tho Radl-
calls spprehes'd defeat, aud that they
must punish the guilty Of their party,
or lose caste with those who are con.
tent with the semblance of justice,
however little they sympathize with
its demands. The President approves
the sentence, save the clause which
would make the thief iisgorge the
money. Grant thinks lightly Of the
disgrace, but great deal of the
money, and advocates its retention
by Hodge, although feloniously alb
stracted from the pockets of the
people.

CHICAGO is mass of smouldering
ruins. Like magic 1t sprung into ex-
istencc, waxed populous and wealthy,
and by a breath of the devouring
element, 1t has almost disappeared
from the earth. The labor, enterprise
and tact which gave 1t wealth and
rank among the commercial cities OF
the Continent, may still exist, but
the fruits Of their joint efforts, have
turned to ashes. So great calamity
TO any people, is shock everywhere
felt, and the sympathies of all are
are aroused for the suffering and
homeless victims, who cry for help
TO those remote from the scene OF
desolation.
Elsewhere, we have published n
portion of the statements given OF
the extent OF the losses inflicted up.
on the inhabitants of the ruined city.
The South tenders its earnest sympa-
thies, but the ashes of its own recent
desolation are its ample apology fol-
its limitend material aid. We can
furnish space for, comparatively, few
81 the painful details.

A WASHINGTON correspondent OF
the New York World gives the de-
tails of a gigantic scheme, now on
foot, for the annexation of Mexico.
Prominent men, north and south, are
named as members of the enumeration
"ring." The story needs strong con-
firmation to give it currency, and II
true, its basis will probably prove a
selfish scheme of capital to multiply
itself at the cost Of the best interests
Of the country. With Chinese, In.
dams, Africans and mean white men
composing the bulk ofour population,
the mongrel hordes of Mexico, super
added, the chances for free govern

beautifully less.

illustration of this tendency been given a. in
New York city, and yet, instead of sedulously
stunning the evils made manifest by daily ex-
posures in New York journals, faithless legis-
lators are on the point of inficting them on
this com munity. The disclosure of such
design should incite the most vigorous and
imperative remonstrances from every faith
full Republican in Philadelphia and in other
portions OF this Commonwealth, as well as
from every citizen who has not lost all faith
in local self government. The peril is great
and imminent. All Democratic members at
Harrisburg are said to be committed to the
proposed projects several Republicans are
also inclined TO support it; and it will require
resolute and determined efforts to defeat the
most hagrant and dangerous scheme ever
conceived in the brains of the robbers of the
people.

AMONG the list of special bills introduced
yesterday in the Legislature was one by
Mr.. Nagle, in the House of Representa-
tives, authorizing the Philadelphia Poly
teehnic University to issue $500. 900 worth
of stock, to borrow $3.50, 200, and to consti-
tute themselves a board of underwriters, with
view of protecting the lives and property of
crews and passengers on board vessels. The
most that is generally known about the Phila-
delphia Polytechnic University is that the
courts have decided that it has no right to
the name 1t bears, but admitting that its
name is all right, it is difficult to understand
how such an institution will perform its le-
gitimate functions by acting as a board of
underwriters. Such board, before it OBJ
tains such privileges as are accorded in Mr..
Nagle's bill, ought to produce some evidence
that it is composed of responsible men. and
that it will carry out the objects of its crea-
tion in a proper manner. 1t would be we'll
for the Legislature, before acting finally upon
Mr.. Nagle's bill, to find out who the parties
are wig are represented under the somewhat
indefinite title of the Philadelphia POlyteeh-
mic Society.

The American Steamship Company is SO
near being fairly in position to commence
practical operations, that it is to be hoped a
last final effort will have the effect of making
the enterprise complete success. Bonds to
the amount of 81, 100, 900 have already been
taken by corporations and individuals, leav-
ing only the comparatively small sum of
100000 yet to be rsised. With this money
in hand, the company will be enabled imme-
diately to commence the construction of its
vessels, and considering the vast import
ance of the proposed line, the amount ought
to be obtained without serious difficulty.
These bonds, it should be remembered, are
indorsed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, and are as good investments as any class
of securities in the market.
