The fires arc still burning, and new ones

The fires are still burning, and new ones
spring up. The area of ruin and devasta-
ton is daily Increasing, and much suffering
exists. A long, cold winter is approaching.
Large numbers of these people are access
sible only by water, and navigation will
soon be closed. Scarcely month, or six
weeks at most, remain in which to feed,
clothe, aud shelter them for the winter
season, which extends into spring. They
must be helped now or they will perish.
The people Of Michigan have nobly re-
sponded to the appeals which this misery
has made to their sympathy and generosity,
but they are sorely crippled, indirectly, in
their business by the Chicago fire, and Dir
rectly by the assistance given to sufferers
from that calamity before they were aware
of the demands which would be made upon
them at home. Many of them, too, have
lost their resources by the fires which have
occurred in this State.
In their name and on behalf of the VIC
TINS already known, and many who we
fear are yet unknown, we ask prompt and
efficient aid from our benevolent fellow-cit-
liens everywhere. Money and supplies
may be sent direct to the Michigan Relief
Committee at Detroit or Grand Rapids.

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION


THE PRESIDENTS PRoCLAMATI0N--A
CLERICAL ERROR--''UNIoN," IN
STEAD OF ''MARIoN."
Considerable surprise has been created
throughout the country, and more especial
ly in South Carolina, by the fact that the
Presidents proclamation, issued ON the
18th instant, suspendiug the writ of hd6eas
corpus in certain counties in South Carolina
mentioned the county of Marion as one in
which the combinations and conspiracies
exist which so obstruct and hinder the eX-
ecution of the laws of said State and the
United States as to deprive portion of the
people of the rights, privileges, immunities,
and protection named in the constitution
of the United States and guaranteed by the
enforcement act, and in which the public
safety required the suspension of the writ
of habeds corpus.
The cause of the surprise thus created
was that there are not now, nor have there
ever been, any Kuklux disturbances in that
county, and the surprise was increased by
the omission from the proclamation of
Union county, one of the worst in the State.
1t was evident that there was a mistake
somewhere, and to ascertain where it oc-
CURED, a reporter Of the Chronicle called
upon Assistant Attorney General Bristow
yesterday to ascertain the facts of the case.
He was informed that the circumstance
mentioned was an error, and that it was
committed by clerk, who mistook the
word Union for Marion, in copying the pro-
clamation.
This error, though simple and easily
made, has made wide difference between
the printed proclamation and that which
the President intended TO ISSUE IVdshiag-
ton Chronicle.

CHICAGO PoLITICs-THE Two PAR
TIES UNITING hicogo, October a.
The two political parties in this city and
county, in view of the present condition Of
affairs growing out of the great fire, are
trying to unite upon a Union ticket for the
city and county officers, to be voted for two
weeks hence. Both parties have been in
convention to-day, when it was arranged
that the Republicans should have the can
didates for mayor, city collector, police
commissioner, twelve out of twenty alder
men, nine out Of the fifteen county COM
missioners, judge of the Superior court,
and some other minor offices. The Demo-
Gratis are to have the city treasurer, city at
torney, judge Of the Circuit court, eight al
dermen, six county commissioners, and
some small offices. The entire ticket has
not been agreed on, but it is probable that
Joseph Medill, of the Tribune, will be the
candidate for mayor.
