THE Janesville Gazette, speaking OF
Tammany, says, ut was moral ulcer OF
the most virulent type. All its robbet-
les had to feed from the rewards OF labor
The Republican press of New York have
been laundering against its villainies for
years, but the Democracy defended it be-
cause it kept the party In power aud
brought the emoluments of Office. AS
that party sustained the most dangerous
encroachments of slavery and denounced
the institution only when its doom was
sealed as it opposed the war and ap-
proved it only when victory was ours; as
it opposed reconstruction and accepted it
only when gurther opposition was futile.
useless; SO that party defended Tam
many, and only joined in the hue and cry
against that society when just before an
election, the dam.ling proofs Of guilt
we're 50 overwhelming that they could
no longer be ignored. The result of the
appeal to the people has cheered every
friend of the Republican government
throughout the world Even the Demo-
cratic city Of New York. the place where
the most gigantic election frauds ever
perpetrated on this continent huye been
committed. and where robbery has been
reduced to science, even here Republl-
can and honest government may from
this time forth, have an equal chance of
success"

LOSSES by THE CHICAGO FIRE The
Chicago Journal gives partial list oil
the principal loosers aud losses By the
great fire, from which it is ascertained
that the losses of the several railway
com panies are nearly two million dollars
that a few of the principal dry goods
houses alone loose over $4,000, 900; the
principal grocery houses, about $2,5Oo,'
900 the wholesale cloihiers. nearly s..
oOO, 600; blank book ests blishments, ST.
100, 900, jewelers., $l.535, 900; hardware
and iron trade. sl,2s0,0OO millinery
goods, 81, 100, 900 boots and shoes. $975,-
oOO; the book trade, $500, 900; musical
instruments, S6IO 600; drug and pain,
trade. S62i ,Ooo; hats aud caps, S423.-
oOo furi,ure trade, s5lO.OOo. These
figures are derived from statements OF
actual or approximate losses by the sew
eral firms, and embrace chiefly the stock
aud fixtures destroyed. Only in the loss
es OF railway com ranies and few mer-
chants are buildings included. Wher
taken into consideration that the list EN-
braces only the heaviest business houses
in the city and foots up at total amoun
of over $37.OOO. 600, something like |
correct guess can be made of the tota
losses by the great FIRE. including ls.nO'
buildings and several hundred retail
stores, schools. factories. etc. not iDclud

Very few men have more correct

expectations If they are to live mainly
by Trafic-Dy exchanging the farmer $
products for those of other climates and
countries they are quite large enough

In sermon lately delivered by Henry
Ward Beecher, at Plymouth church,
Brooklyn. on the reformation of the bal
lot, the distinguished preacher urged the
necessity for the men of intelligence, cul-
ture and moral power in society, taking a
more active part in the direction of our
political affairs as the only means by
which thorough reform of the evil,
.h,cn atfilct New York and Brooklyn
:.an be affected. This view of ;he ques-
ion is worthy of earnest. consideration
by the citizens of every school district IN
he United States. In commenting
upon this discourse the New York Herald
.iys:
Repeating. ballntbox stufing and false
counting are indeed terrible crimes, and
may we'll be classed with forgery and
counterfeiting and treason. 1t is the
most fearful kind Of treason. because it Is
a secret enemy. We can meet open and
pronounced traitors ard whip them into
submission to law and lawful authority !;
but those sneaks and sccuDdrels who steal
away our liberties while using the ballots
Of freemen deserve the utmost punish
ment that can be inflicted.
But, as MIR. Beecher declared. our
greatest danger arises from the lndltter-
ence Of the educated and the moral vot-
ers. The higher classes are perpetually
giving tone to the lower, and ifthey show
by their Indifference that the ballot is of
little account. WHY should we wonder at
the ignorant voter, who thinks he can do
as he pleases with it2 If the men of
culture and moral worth had borne wit
ness to the value of the ballot, there
would not have been seen such a mourn
full perversion of it. The minds of our
people must he educated up to the true
worth of the franchise. It must be done
ia the church. in the school and in the
house hold. and The whole community
mast be lifted up to higher level.

The diversity Of opinion that exists in
the Democratic party with reference to
the nomination of candidate for the
presidency next year. is illustrated by the
tact. that the st. Louis Republican, which
prosed TO allow the sore-heade1 Republi-
cans OF the Sumner aud Sehurz stripe to
make the nomination. and bring to the
support OF the nominee the whole of the
Democratic vote. quotes extensively from
Democratic journals endorsing the sug-
gestion; while another leading journal
brings an equal number of expressions
candemMng the conrse suggested aud de-
cisring that 1t IS cowardly and mean to
abandon the principles OF and
the party orRahization, aud endeavor to
make 1t the tail of Republican kite. =
Still another quotes prominent ex-rebels
wto approve the suspension of the party
machinery and the proposed union with
,lisaffected Republicans, while yet anoth-
er arrays the whole Of the Democratic
press Of the South against the unnatural
and unholy combination When pro
nosition is seriously made, which means
that political party has nothing to pro-
pose, except to get the control of the
patronage Of the government, worth con-
tending for, when it has arrived at q con-
dltlon when, by its own confession, not
patriotism but spoils is the power which
moves it to action. when the lack of faith
which the people have manifested in its
pretenslons have so far affected it's MEM
bers that they too have lost faith in the
ability Of the party to so commend its
utterances or its action to the people as
to gain public confidence. it is not diff
cult to see what the result of the national
contest on which we shall soon enter must
be. To propose to fold it's banners, to
abandon the avowal of its principles and
sileutly sne ak into the camp of an ins;r-
ni6cant number of Republicans. who
from personal motives have arrayed them.
selves against Grants administration, is
the pitiabie position now occupied by
large portion of the Democratic party.
1t is admitted by the highest Democratic
authority that the party cannot survive
