Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The columns Of our exchanges are
filled with matters pertaining to the ma
tional calamity by fire, to the exclusion
of the details Of elections in the states
named. Quite enough is known, how
ever, to show how has gone the battle.
If, as has been agreed by men of all
parties, the result of the presidential
election is indicated by the voice of
Ohio and Pennsylvania this fall, it is all
the more gratifying to know that they
have spoken in strong Republican
tones.
From eleven to fourteen thousand are
the majorities by which The old Key
stone State elects her full Republican
ticket. From o, 1893 majority for Dem,
ocratic Presidential candidate in 1868 TO
four thousand majority for Republican
State officers in 1859 and eleven thous.
and in 1871, is moving rapidly enough
in the right direction and speaking in
no uncertain tones.
Ohio uses the same language, moves
in the same direction. Gen. Noyes the
Republican candidate for Governor, re-
ceives a majority of over 10000. From
this we look back to $1,000 in 1870 and
1000 in 1859, and see the hand writing
OH the wall. AS the Register says, 1.-The
New Departure humbug is dead in its
own cradle.' Better than all, the next
Senator from Buckeye will be Repub-
lican, by virtue of this election, instead
of a Democrat, as now.

September 20, we find the following
interesting information upon this sub

Chicago.

The following items and extracts,
collected from late numbers of the
Chicago Journal, will give some idea of
the present condition and future pros
poets of our Western metropolis. with
its many related interests. Much is
now being developed that is very
encouraging, aside from the liberal aid
flowing from every direction. The
very darkest side of the calamity was
seen first, and bright spots are now
appearing where nothing but the black.
ness OF unmitigated ruin was At first
recognized
The natural fear of file that still dwells
with the city is exempIified by the
Mayors proclamations Of last Friday
forbiddiny the use of kerosene or any
infammable oil in barns. and forbid
ding the smoking of cigars or pipes
upon any Of the streets.
Relief matters are so thoroughly org.
anized and effectively managed that the
time of actual suffering for food or shell
ter may be considered substantially
passed. The Chicago Relief and Aid
Society, All Incorporated and old
established concern, has now charge Of
all contributions and their Disbursement.
In regard to this Mondays Journal says:
I'm order to obtain absolute and accu-
rate intelligence of the general condition
Of the poor, who are being taken care Of
by the Relief Committee, a representa-
tive OF The Journal to day visited the
principal depots of supply-the churches
and other buildings from which clothing
and food are dispensed-and everything
is of the most encouraging nature.
From authoritative sources it was
asc5rtained that some twenty thousand
persons have been taken to St. Louis,
and are provided there with homes.
The number of applicants for relief are
constantly decreasing. Laborlng
men are going to work to-day by thou
sands, and it is confidently expected
that the churches will not have to DO
used after this week.
The committee at headquarters, ald
everywhere, are busily engaged night
and day. They still find thousands and
thousands of women and children seek
ing aid, however, and probably VIII 'or
many weeks to come

considered sufficiently large figure to
cover al the losses. The number of
acres actually burned over is about
2,5Oo-comprising the most compact and
thickiy inhabited part of the city, and
the great bulk Of its business and sub
stance. About 10000 buildings were
burned, one-fourth of which were of
stone or brick. The actual loss of
life was undoubtedly over 800.
Concerning the situation and pros
poets. on Friday, the Journal said !:
"Chicago is not hopelessly down. Her
capitalists and merchants are up and
doing preparing for reorganization and
reconstruction upon the old foundations
and 1t 10 very apparent to all intelli-
gent observers, that all will soon be well,
and that Chicago will, before long, be il
rapid process Of rebuilding, and that
before many years she will in all res
poets be herself again. The fact, now
positively stated, that the heaviest
insurance companies at the East will
promptly adjust and pay in full their
losses by our Great Conflagration, is the
most cheering news we have yet receiv-
ed since the Calamity. This will go far
towards helping many of our people out
of their troubles and setting them on
their feet again."
On Monday, it speaks yet more cheer
fully, speaking Of the announcement
that the banks would resume business
on the 18th, which is strengthened by
certificate from the United States
Comptroller of Currency that the Ma
tional banks of Chicago are solvent
institutions, as follows: THE decision
of the banks to abandon their fifteen per
cent. installment policy, and resume
business as usual to. morrow, has restored
confidence ia Chicago. The universal
opinion now is that the grain business
will soon be running as usual. At pre-
sent the arrangement in insurance is
bipdrance to shipments. There is no
speculative business attempted. 1t is
believed that the permanent increase in
the price Of grain will be slight. We
hear of sores of cases where merchants
or capitalists are already fully determin-
ed to rebuild in the most substantial
style on the old sites, and it is already
very evident that the South Side will
before many months be Reconstructed
even more substantially than is was
built originality
The peace of the city has been restor-
ed and is maintained. The papers
deprecate the statements which are
finding place in newspapers signifying a
different state of things, and say that
General Sheridan and the city authori
ties report no cases of outrage or serious
disturbance.

The Result in Iowa.

There is no doubt that the intense and
absorbing interest IN the great calamity
at Chicago, last week Tuesday just 5e-
ing made known in Iowa, greatly re
duced the total number Of votes cast at
the election on that day, and, OF course,
tho majority Of the dominant party ;
and it is not discreditable that such was
the case. The Republican majority,
however, on the State ticket does by no
means show dimunition that will war
rant the theory that New Departure
Democracy has risen in the political
market of Iowa, or that Republicanism
has declined. Returns received up to
Saturday night by the Republican State
Central Committee from sixty ons coun.
ties give the Republican State ticket a
majority of q, 2l8. The majority in the
same counties last year was only %, 32l !;
thus showing an increased majority this
year of almost 800.
Several counties have at this election
given Republican majorities for the first
time. Dubuque and Lee are notable in.
stances of this. On the other hand nu-
merous counties heretofore Republican
have elected one or more Democratic, or
what is the same thing, Peoples" can
didates. This has in almost every in
stance been brought about by boiling
and bitterness in Republican ranks-a
condition incident to strong political
domination of which the politically
poverty stricken Democrats are not slow
to avail themselves.
Muscatine county has thus defeated
John Mahin for the Legislature, cleo
ting Day, a Democrat. Molis, Dem, Ia
also elected Treasurer.
Clinton county elects Democratic
Sheriff and one Representative.
Johnson county was cursed with an
Independent Republican Peoples con-
glomeration ticket, and elects the whole
Democratic fraternity 10y larger major
ity than usual in consequence.
In Linn county, out of a trinity OF
Democrats, ''Peoples" and Independent,
only one candidate was successful over
the regular Republican ticket. G.
Hayzlett, for Sheriff.
And in numerous other counties, par.
ticularly as to Legislative candidates,
regular Republican nominees have been
defeated. Enough Of them to give the
opposition gain of fifteen to eighteen
members in the next Legislature and
enough certainty, to impress a lesson
against letting local feuds and animosi-
ties, or the bitter partnership for rival
candidates for high official position,
obliterate party principle and disrupt

The great forest fires in Wisconsin
would be filling our papers with details
of their devastation were it not that
they have been eclipsed by the Chicago
catastrophe. The loss of life in the
neighborhood Of Peshtigo will reach
over 1000. The fiery cyclone swept
over tract of country eight or ten miles
wide. The Mayor Of Milwaukee states,
in proclamation, that 500 persons
have persisted in the State from the
effects of the recent fires, and calls on
the city for relief He also says that
seven counties of the State have been
devastated.

We are sorry to record that the Rev.
c. w. Treadwell, pastor OF the Presby-
terian church of this place has been en-
joying very poor health during the
greater part of the summer, and it is
feared he will be obliged to give up
his charge in consequence, for a time at
least. Mr.. Treadwell has always been,
heretofore, a very robust and healthful
man, and until recently has scarcely
known what it was to be sick. The
fact that he has been obliged to curtail
much Of his pastoral labors in his con-
gregation on account of his i'll health
has greatly discouraged him, and he
began to fear that his members and
supporters would become dissatisfied
with him, whereupon meeting of the
congregation was called, after services
on Sabbath morning the Sth inst. to as
certain what ,cas the feeling of his
people in regard to his still continuing
to occupy the pulpit. After organizing,
and the subject discussed pretty thour-
oughly, a committee was appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense
of the congregation, when the following
resolutions were presented and received
the unanimous concurrence of the en-
tire congregation.
WHEREAS, Our pastor, Rev. c. w
Treadwell has been, and is now in iii
health, so as to interfere in some meas
ure with his labors amongst us as pas
tor, and
WHEREAS, He fears this affection
will necessarily diminish his usefulness,
to such an extent as to cause dissatis-
faction in his congregation on account
of such inability on his part, there
fore
Resolced, That in all his affections,
trials and discouragements he, and his
family, have our most earnest and heart
felt sympathy.
Resoired, That we appreciate in a
high degree his faithfulness and ability
as preacher his devotion and earn
estness as a christian minister; his
fearless and emphatic manner in de-
nouncing the current sins of the day
the gentle and afiectionate manner with
which he has encouraged those of us
who were weak in the faith, or cas-,
down by sorrow and affection, and his
earnestness in enforcing the doctrines
of Christ.
Resolved, That the devotion and
earnestness with which he has labored
amongst us for the past year, have
made such an impression upon our
hearts, that Notwithstanding the dis
couraging circumstances surrounding
him, threatening to impair his useful
ness as our minister, we do each and
every one Of us, most earnestly and
cordially unite in requesting him to
continue his ministerial relations with
us as long as in the providence Of God
he shall have health and strength to
perform the service, and we do most
sincerely pray that these relations, be-
gun and continued up to the present
time SO cordially, and productive of so
much good, may long continue.
Resolved, That if at any time during
his stay with us as our pastor, he should
desire to be temporarily relieved from
his labors for the purpose of rest and
recuperation, we as his congregation
will most willingly acquiesce and rem
der him any material aid he may need
for that purpose.
