Tho Fire, tho Insurance Companies aud
tho Wall Street Panic.
The shock to the various monetary interests
of the country by the terrific calamity at
Chicago has already manifested itself in the
failure of three Of our local insurance COM
panies, who, in the endeavor to get business
not afforded them In the competition of the
metropolis, expanded their risks elsewhere,
and have been involved as wholly as if they
the burned city. We are not questioning
the wisdom Of such policy in
the conduct Of their business; for the
Chicago fire is one OF those provi-
Dental interpretations which are 80 often
sent to upset the plans of man and show him
there are misfortunco and calamities against
which he cannot provide. Skill, address,
Judgment and all the qualities which combine
to make the compound Of financial wisdom 90
for naught 10 presence Of such an occurrence.
A week ago who would have thought to ques-
ton the reliability and soundness of mort
gage investment in Chicago real estate.
Now, how apparent the truth th at riches have
wings. The disturbance Of the great
ocean of commerce and finance reached
our Stock Exchange and precipitated
q panic OF considerable severity. The
famed Western railways connecting with
Chicago were plunged suddenly down the
scale Of prices to figures which leave no doubt
Of enormous losses to the stockholders and to
the speculative combinations who were build
ing castles on the prospective future Of such
investments. The wave has also reached
London, and the cable announces great agita-
ton both in the money market there and in the
breadstuffs market at Liverpool. The uni
versal shock will doubtless render the Chicago
fire the most momentous in the worlds record
of important events.

SYMPATHY FOR CHICAGO IN LONDON
As we said yesterday, the Chicago Gala nifty
has exerted quite as much excitement and
called forth as much sympathy In London as
in New York. Subscription lists are opened
iu the various banking houses apd money is
being freely given. II will be the same in Liv-
erpool, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. II
will not be otherwise in Hamburg, in Berlin, in
Vienna, in Paris and ST. Petersburg. We
cannot look uDon this in anv 0ther light than

BRIGHAM YOU'VE appeared 10 Court in Salt
Lake on Monday and was held to bail in five
thousand dollars. 1t is thought that there will
be trouble il he is convicted. The Mormons,
however, have so uniformly threatened trouble
as last resort, with no intent Of carrying out
the threat, that we may safely conclude they
know too much to resort to the hopeless arbi.
trament of war or riot.

TEE ELECTION IN PHILADELPHIA yesterday
was the occasion of quite spirited riot, in
which four men were killed and twenty-five
wounded. The origin Of the fight, in which
police and citizens, white and black, were en-
gagged, is attributed to the determined efforts
Of the rough democracy to drive the negro
voters from the polls.

TIE CHURoHEs or THE CITY have an
opportunity to exercise their known gen.
erosity and charity now in sending relief to
Chicago. The great calamity offers text for
sermons of the greatest power, and We suggest
to the great preachers Of the city to improve
upon It next Sunday. Let them bear in mind
the admonition of charity to all, and while,
appealing to their hearers TO aid the work 1ef
relief let them avoid the temptation that may
bcsct them to fling their frivolitics In the face
of the stricken people. Let them all take tho
Christian text. "Bear We ope srothar's hur-

Elections.
The awful calamity which has fallen upon
the late beautiful, prosperous and self reliant
city of Chicago has so profoundly impressed
the public mind, and has become so far the
universal topic Of public sympathy and dis
cussion, that in this city hardly reference
was made, even among our professional poll
ticians, yesterday to the Pennsylvania and
Ohio elections in full progress during tho
day, and in no instance was there any interest
expressed as to the probable results. Under
ordinary circumstances these important
State elections would have been the
great excitement Of the day, and an
anxious multitude would have been gathered,
after supper, in front Of the HERALD Office,
awaiting the drst reports upon our bulletin
from Pennsylvania and Ohio. We had no
such excitement in the city yesterday and no
such gathering in front of the HERALD office
last night; for our citizens Of all parties and of
all creeds aud nationalities, and Of all con-
ditions In life, were too much interested in the
sufferings of those one hundred thousand
people-men, women and children-left house,
less aud destitute, and exposed to the mercy
of the elements amid and around the ruins
Of Chicago, to give any serious thought to
the Pennsylvania and Ohio elections.
The meagre returns we have received from
Pennsylvania and Ohio warrant the con-
clusion that the republicans 10 both States
have carried the day without any material
drawbacks Of democratic gains in the one and
with serious democratic losses in the other.
As for Iowa, we are only in doubt as to the
extent of the republican msjorities out there,
though it is probable that in all these elections
the popular vote was somewhat reduced by
the depressing effect Of the Chicago calamity,
in addition to the usual influences In these
purely local elections of general apathy"
With more facts and figures before us we
shall be enabled to discuss these elections
more satisfactorily tomorrow.

ssbscripsssss for rho Cascags Sufferers.
The question Of relief for the hundreds OF
thousands Of people in Chicago rendered
penniless and homeless by tho 6re is now oil
important Tho generous promptness with
which, her sister cities OF the Union have
como forward already to her relief shows tho
noble spirit that animates the American heart
everywhere. It is indeed, something that
relieves with silver lining the dark cloud Of
gloom that has blighted the young giant city
Of the West Our merchants and millionnaires,
who are bound to suffer heavily personally by
the Wholesale devastation, have shown the spirit
ofSir Philip Sidney-when wounded be gave the
cup of water for which he was furnishing TO q
dying soldier near him. Chicago needs imme-
diate relief more than our business men do,
and unhesitatingly and generously they
accord It, Much more yet remains to be done,
however.
In order to increase facilities for securing
this relief, subscriptions will be received at
the HERALD Office and forwarded promptly to
the sufferers. We subscribe five hundred
dollars to the fund AZ q commencement and
hope to be able to forward to the Chicago
sufferers sum proportionately larger, in COM
parison with the greater destitution, than that
with which contributors, through the medium
of the HERALD, gladdened the hearts Of the
widows and orphans Of Avondale. All classes
are invited to contribute to this fund, the
richest aud the poorest, and sums in any and
all amounts will be cheerfully received and
forwarded. The devastating element was no
respecter Of persons. 1t destroyed humble
tenenents and grand residences, small shops
and immense stores alike, and rendered the
occupants Of miserable huts and of wealthy
mansions alike homeless. The charity there
fore appeals to both rich and poor. Contri-
buttons Of from one cent to any underlined
amount win therefore be received ia the
counting room Of the HERALD Office, by clerks
specially deputed for the service, to-day and
henceforward, until the generosity of tho
people has no further call upon it.

order that he may prove his innocence il he
has really been the tool of his subordinates, or
suffer the penalty of his crimes, IL he has been

press and the politicians who have taken the
matter in hand and are endeavoring to control

abuse upon other officials whose connection

tionable but against whom no evidence to

In spite Of scrutiny that has now been In
progress for over FIVE weeks There is, how
ever, one honorable exception to this. The
editor Of the Tribune, few days ago, thought
proper to dissent in his own name from the
attacks made upon Mayor Hall and Park Com
missioners Sweeny and Hilton. While insist
ing that the former had forfeited the position
he holds, by neglecting TO scrutinize the ac-
counts Of certain contractors in whose favor
warrants for large amounts have been drawn,
aud all of which warrants tho Mayor is at
present supposed to have countersigned, Mr..
Greeley says :-"As, however, 1 do not
understand Mr.. Foley to assert that he
has personal knowledge OF the division
among the members Of the Board of Audit Of
moneys fraudulently obtained from the trea T.
ury on bogus claims, must for the present,

We copy this from The Washington
Patriot:
The necessity Of establishing Il cotton
bureau in New Orleans for the collection Of
reliable information in regard to the grow
ng crop, is strongly recommended to the
cotton factors. 1t is said that fhc Northern
and Eastern press are operated in favor Of
the interests OF consumers of cotton, and
that the Agricultural Bureau regulates its
cotton reports more by the views Of cotton
speculatOrs in New York than by its intor-
nation from the cotton States. BY these
agencies cottOn-growers are victimized year
after year. and the influence of their false
statements is felt among European buyers,
10 the great detriment Of the interests OF
the planters.
The PLANTER is entitled To receive fair
price for his crop. and by a fair price is
meant one that is based upon full intorma-
ton with regard 10 the worlds supply. II
the spinner buys cotton. believing that the
American crop will he 1000. 900 bales, he
will pay much less tnan if he is convinced
that only 5000, 300 bales will be produced in
the South. All the evils resulting from the
present sources Of information upon the con
.ition of the cotton crop will. ii is thought,
ne obyiated BY the establishment OF such a
bureau as it recommends. and from which
the cotton growers tnay obtain exact and
Necessary. Information upon g subJect so
otitai to their interests.
