New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-10-13

Claims for Tcfundlng taxes claimed to have been err
roneously paid, from Chicago claimants, shall bo
taken up and acted on Immediately.
All of the reports of the Northwestern National
Banks, showing their condition mp to Oct 9, 1871,
were destroyed in transit at the Post Oflico here.
The Controller of the Currency will have to call for
duplicate copies of these returns. Five of the reports
OF the banks in Chicago were sent off for Washing
ton the Saturday previous to the fire.
Canal-st is now the principal thoroughfare. The
tide of travel which surgcs norhward from the re-
naming portion of the South Side naturally takes
the first paved street west of the river, and the
great procession of teams and people which turns
northward from Twefth-st after crossing the South
Side, passes Canal. Many of the old buSl-
ness houses whose establishments on the other
side OF the nver have been burned down have
already located on Canalst., and eligible To-
calites find ready market The Tribune and JOarn0t
newspapers have been rcstablshcd at NOs.1 and 10
Canalst. The street, from AdaIns-st. south, for a
long distance is nothing but an cmhankment tho
sidewalks having been destroyed by the successive
fires Of Saturday and Sunday nights, and the sur
rounding land being below the level of the street.
This appearance is heightened by the stone curb
walls on each side, which cause the grade of the
street to stand ont like fortiicatiou.
The Erie relief train from NewYork arrived here
