Bearcroit deserves honorable mention
as the author of ono of the happiest wit
ticisms ever gotten o- at the bur. It
happened in this wise: young gentle.
man OF good family had married woman
Of the town, been deserted by Lis
friends. and almost ruined in fortune by
the extravaganza Of his wife. At list. he
mustered courage to defend an action
for goods furnished her at an enormous
price. Erskine was his counsel, and
made the wife's previous character a
ground OF appeal to the jury. He
praised the amiable feelings of the hus-
band. who had sought to restore his wife
10 the path of virtue, and inveighed
against her base ingrntitude. to which
the plaintiff had lent himself. .For her
he gave up his family and sacrificed all
his connexions. When Bearcroft came
to reply, he treated Erskine's eulogium
of his clients virtue and the demerits OF
his wife ne mere burlcsqne. ''My friend
reproaches his clients wifo with forget
fulness OF the deed of gratitude which she
owes to him; that for her he had given
up all his connexions; but the balance OF
obligation will be found on her side-for
him she gave up all mankind"

Speaker Blaine, in q late speech,
charges the Democrats with mot recog-
nizing the Constitution OF the United
States" Who can, forsooth; since the
Radicals have been tinkering with it, it
now resembles the boys knife that was
twice repaired first with new blade.
and then with new handle That
youth grew to old age without being
able to decide whether it was the same
knife or not. SO it is With the Consti-
tEtion of the United States. Sometimes
we think. it is the same old instrument.
and sometimes not. If Mr. Blaine would
help strip of some of the disguises with
which he has helped to invest it, the De-
mocrats will not encounter the least diff.
Gculty in its recognition.

feared His depredations on neigh.
bors became so intolerable that they
banded against and caught him.
There were several cases of robbery
against him in the courts and he
threatened the lives of the witnesses,
and finally killed one, Joseph North.
The party who attacked the Jail num-
bered from seventy-five to hundred,
mostly from the country. They broke
into the Jail but were unable to break
into Gridley's cell, when they shot
him eight times through the bars.
His wife and infant child were with
him at the time, and he cursed and
defied his murderers to the lNst. The
town was picketed and nobo allow

saw deeply regret the occurrence
which they were unable to prevent,
but the people in the country II is said

Grant Martial Law to be De-

Special to the New York World.1
WASHINGTON, October lS.--The ku-
klux proclamation turns out to-day to
be most important step in a new
policy to be pursued towards the
South. 1t is now known positively
that for more than six weeks past, or
ever since the ku.klux committee OF
congress returned from the South, the
administration has had under consid-
Grafton a policy to be enforced not
only against the so called ku-kluX or
Plantations but in the administration
OF federal civil affairs in the South.
There was no substantial difference OF
opinion among the president and the
cabinet and the leading Republicans
who favored this new order Of things,
excerpt as to the TIM be en-
forced, and that accounts for the delay
till alter the October elections.
The proclamation Is therefore but
the iOrrunner of martial law and
the suspension of the writ OF hdbeas
corpus, as provided by the fourth sec.
tlOn Of the act of April 20. This says
that any Eu-klux organization or
combination ''shall be deemed a re-
DeulOu dSdlu5t lne SONerUment, the
limits Of which shall be prescribed by
proclamation, and also by command
ing the insurgents to disperse." Be
fore the privileges OF the writ of
hGbeds corpus are suspended, promi-
nent member of the government, and
also leading Republicans, declared to.
day that the arrangements Of the civil
and military for wholesale arrests of
members OF the ku.klux khan had
been perfected, and that the country
would be surprised, il the proolama-
tion were not needed, by the arrest OF
well-known Southern men. This
course has been rendered imperative
by the result OF the Texas election in
favor of the Democracy. Grant was
actually stunned by theannouncement
Of 30, ,0ea Democratic majority In that
State, 4nd, despairing OF carrying the
Southern States by fair means, re-
solved to carry them by any means.
In few days the new rebellion, this
time of the Federal government
against the South, viii be fairly be-
gun.

NEW YORK, October 1S.-The ma

was largely attended. President Mil
Ter stated that the subject of Chicago
should be brought before the conven-
ti0n. Relative to the losses by New
York companies he believed they
would all be able to pay at least nine
ty per cent, but time should be al
lowed them to collect resources. He
believed the fire of Chicago was the
result OF badly constructed buildings,
as in Paris and London, it would
have burned itself out in one block.
Reports were read and the conven-
tion adjourned.

THE LOSS
S2s3.000,00 the Probable fetal Of ths
Losses by Fire IN Chicago.

From the n. Y. Dry Goods Reporter.l
The loss of property actually con-
sumed in Chicago is estimated to
5000, 900, 600. But this Is by no means
the total of the losses that fall on
other parties, and those arising from
the suspension Of business, and the
inability, in many cases only tempo
rary, Of Chicago merchants to meet
their obligations. The following ta-
BILE Of the actual and contingent losses
Is partially estimated on data, which
may be regarded as afiording an ap-
prOximately correct view Of the full
extent Of the disaster;
