Chicago 10 wiped out of existence. The
whole city is in Ahses. Every particle of the
city proper is gone. All of the west side is
burnt except the suburbs All ofthe south
side is destroyed except below Fourteenth
street. All Of the north aide is gone. The
scene beggars description. Many persons
must have been killed by falling buildings
and many have no doubt persisted in the
flames. What our great population will do
thus rendered homeless, is a question.

cidents, and even this he did at the urgent
request of the Mayor of Chicago, which could
not have been properly disregarded in such a
crisis BY the agreement of all, Gen. Sher-
dan did his work we'll, and the people of Chi
cago are earnestly grateful for his timely
services. 1t is fashionable, however, in GER
tain quarters to keep up hue and cry about
military rule" as if the people of this coun-
try are in any danger of submitting to such
a thing beyond the absolute requirements OF
necessity, or as if the officers of our regular
army have any desire of adding to their usual
onerous duties the inevitable snarl which
comes even from concurrence-to say nothing
of interference-wit civil affairs. We fear
Governor Palmer, excellent man and magis-
trate as he is, has fallen under the influence
of these decisions. At all events, his letter
of instructions to prosecuting attorneys 10
procure the indictment of Sheridan and others
is wholly outside of his duties, and a species
of impertinence which the judge of the court
having charge of the matter has very proper
" rebuked.

This government has taken note of the con-
duct of the Spanish government in sending
two or three vessels of war from Havana to
Port-au- Prince to fulfil the menace made to-
wards the Hornet, month or two since, 1t
is possible that this war fleet is intended for
some other point, but the threat of the
Spanish authorities, constantly reiterated,
furnishes ground for grave apprehensions.
The vessel is still the subject of diplomatic
correspondence, but it is sufficient that she
is in a neutral port, which will render any
atempt to take her by force an outrage on
this Government as well as on that of Hayti,
to say nothing of the violation of the plainest
principles of International law. None is
clearer than that no foreign war vessel has a
right to make a capture in neutral port.
This Government has not such a force just
now at Port-au- Prince as it desires.

of the criminals have never learned any
trade, nor are they master of any skilled la
Dor. Third; Not far from 70 per cent of the
crimes committed are by persons of foreign
extraction. Fourth: Eighty to 80 per cent
of the criminals are Incorporate. Fifth :
Ninety-five per cent of the juvenile offenders
came from idle, ignorant, vicious, and drunk
en- homes.

"LITTLE PHIL"

The gallant General Sheridan will never
be forgiven by democrats, we verify be-
lieve, for his distinguished services in
crushing the rebellion and their party with
it. At every chance they are ready to
pounce upon him and teach him that they
have not forgotten his career as soldier
or rubbed out the old score. ''Little Phil"
happened to be at the Chicago fire, where
he distinguished himself by his activity
and boldness as in the war, doing what
he could to save property and protect lfe'
under orders from the Mayor of Chicago.
Unfortunately Colonel Grosyenor was
killed, and the Governor of the State has
undertaken to indict and hold Sheridan
responsible for the killing. The demo-
cratic press Immediately took up the mat
ter, denouncing General Sheridan as a
usurper, tyrant and murderer, and prais-
ing the Governor for his course in under
taking to have the General indicted. But
according to the address of Judge Will
liams to the Grand Jury before which the
investigation of the facts in the case was
intended to come, there is no prospect of
Sheridan being indicted any the sooner for
the interference of the Governor, who it
appears has done a. very improper act HIM
self in urging the indictment. 1t is said
that his motive was the qualification of an
old grudge. Public opinion is against
him, and he is likely to be more injured in
his own character than to injure the repu-
tation OF Sheridan. The Boston journal
speaks of the matter as follows:
Unless Judge Williams, in his instructions
to the Grand Jury at Chicago, is grievously
at fault in his ideas of the law on a question
that he ought to have been thoroughly cog
INFANT OF, Gov. Palmer of Illinois has made
great mistake in his effort to get Gen. Sheri-
dan indicted for the killing of Col. Grosvenor.
Inc iacts OF the case are probably known to
most Vi our readers. After the great fire.
wneh everything was in confusion and wheth-
er with reason or not-there were the strong
est approximations of disorder and criminal
outbreaks, the Mayor Of Chicago requested
Zen. Sheridan to take charge of the peace of
the city. He did SO; and, using his soldiers
for the purpose, a member of yolun,eer
company doing duty as sentry, challenged an
approaching person, who gave contemntuons
answer and refused to halt when Commanded
He was thereupon fired at and shot. He
proved TO be Col. Grosvenor. The killing
perhaps was unwarranted, but the fated mans
conduct, In that time Of general excitement
and suspicion, was totally wrong.
Whatever the responsibility, though, of
those Immediately engaged in the affair NAV
have beeo the attempt 10 trace it to Gen. Sber-
idan 10 quite another matter. He did not au-
thorize what was done, and he can only nos
sibly be held accountable for organizing the
system which had this homicide among its in

Here is noble incident related by the

piled to the Board of Aldermen, Monday
evening, for the right of suffrage. He filled
the bill in every respect but one; when
asked if he could write, his countenance fell
and he was obliged to confess that he could
not. SO the aldermen rejected him, but 10 !!
next morning he appeared before them smil-
ing and confident. He had spent the night
to good purpose, and taking the pen wrote
stumblingly but legibly his name-Timothy
Dixon. 1t was enough, and we dare say no
man cast a vote yesterday with higher esti-
nation of the privilege than Timothy Dixon"

REDUCE THE TAXES.

The monthly statements from the Trea-
sury department of the condition of the
public debt advise Congress that reduc-
ton of taxation may yet be made while
we still continue to reduce the public
debt. The reduction of the debt since
the lessening of taxation has been larger
than was anticipated. Those who OPP
posed taking off the taxes as they have
been, imagined that when it was done
the diminution of the debt would cease,
even if the debt did not show an increase.
But they have been happily disappointed,
while the hopes of others more sanguine
have been more than realized
There is strong feeling in the country
that it will be better policy not to hasten
the payment of the debt than to do so at
the expense of crippling business and
keeping up burdensome taxation. While
steadily reducing the debt in some degree
SO as to make its extinction certain at no
very distant period, we should unfetter
all the productive energies of the country
as much as possible. The increase Of
productive power brings wealth and abil-
ity to pay the debt. Payment of the debt
rapidly might enhance our credit for hon
esty but would retard our actual pros
perity. 1t might be considered very
handsome thing to be able to say that
this generation will pay the debt, but it
is not the highest wisdom to hamper our
selves uselessly for the sake of making
such boast. We are not obliged to
make haste to pay our bonds. We are
not SO bound by the contract, nor would
the holders press for payment if they
could. 1t is at the option of the govern
ment to pay now or wait longer, and il
the condition of the country is such that
deferring payment is best, as we believe
it is, then let the payment Of the debt
wait upon the interests which demand
less haste in that direction.
1t will be the duty of Congress to re-
wise the tariff at the coming session.
There is no doubt that it requires thorough
examination and revision. In some re-
spects it is exceedingly faulty. Let taxa
ton under the internal revenue system be
reduced to the lowest point possible, and
the tariff be our dependence for revenue.
Then allowing articles Of necessity and
common use like tea and coffee to be adj
mitted without duty, there will be all the
opportunity in fixing the tariff upon other
articles to favor our home industries and
protect our labor that will be necessary.
Among the obnoxious features of the
present tariff may be mentioned
the duties on coal and salt.
When these are placed upon the free
list great source of irritation will be re-
moved, although the benefits of the act
will probably be far below public expec-
tation. We trust that shipbuilding may
receive the favorable attention of Con-
gress. and helping hand if possible. We
think, however, that the revolution in
shipbuilding is the main difficulty in the
revival Of the business in Maine, that it
cannot be overcome by acts of Congress,
and that our citizens are pursuing the
right course in applying their energies to
the introduction and increase OF manufac-
turing in our borders.
