TIE FIRE DEMON.

No mind can comprehend the rAvsges
of the conhsgrstion 81 Chicago. viii
be months before sccurate dstsils can he
furnished. Indeed, the calamity is so
great, and the ruin so complete and over
whelming that particulars are hardly
thought of. A space, occupying miles,
which on Saturday last was covered with
the noblest mercantile houses in the
Union, and activity and riches, presents
now one promiscuous heap Of
s~mouldering ruins, piles Of brick
snd mortar, smoking timeers, mass
ss of crumbling walls and bro
ken columns, mingled with fragments
and piles Of scorched snd now worthless
goods, in such quantities ss to make the
besrt sick and sad. We believe that no
confederation, no calamity by fire, 80 ex-
tepsive and so dread ful, has befsllen any
city in the world 1t hiss been an swful
hour for Chicago and for the country.
We can neither describe the grandeur of
the spectacle, nor its t~errors, nor the desc
lstiou. The arm Of msn WIS poweriess,
and many who retired to their pillows in
shiuence, were bankrupts on awakening.
This terrible calamity will be recognized
in every department. Of trade. Insurance
companies, FIRST feeling the shock, will
call in their loans and cuTtsn operations
Eastern banks, thet furnished capital to
Chicago trsdesmen, will be subjected to
heavy losses, and their deposits and loans
in the West and South withdrawn.
Trsdesmen Of New York and Boston will
suffer i~ncsiculRble losses, and even here
the resctiOnsry force OF the fearful disss-
ter that has befsllen the great city Of the
Northwest will have its unfortunate
results. But these commercial evils are
esphemsral. The OF 9 city, on
the shores of q great lake, having count

of 4 country rich in all the elements of
vigorous prosperity, are as i~ndestuctible
as they are boundless. While the poor

THE APPROACHING CoNs1sroRY,-T The
rumors Of difficulty between Rome and
the French Government respecting the pre-
eonization Of the new Bishops were q fabri-
cation. \" No difficulty" says a correspond
emit Of the London Times, " exists, it being
the delay of the French Government in
making tho nominations which has caused
the preconization to be put off," The special
.3nsistory is to be held on g27th, the
" which has been alao fixed upon for the
Sst opening by Victor Emmanuel of the
ALLAN Parliament in Rome. The consist
Oty will be 6sld without any of. the usual
and the Cardinals will proceed
to the Vatican, as has been their
constant prsctice since the invasion of
Rome. The French sees to be filed mp Aze
the Archbishoprics of Paris, Auch and
Tours, and the Bishoprics of Rodez, Limo
ges and Belley. Bishops are to be named
at this consistory for forty-two Italian sees.

Licenses.

The new license law is attracting mucl
attention and comment at this time. A
variety of objections are made to it as tt
its inequality, its being excessive, etc., but
in our opinion the best objection that We
| have seen is that which condemns it in toto
We think it was in the Times that there re.
| Gently appeared an article opposing the
whole license system and favoring tho CEN
tering of all taxation upon property,
There are many reasons in favor of such a
plan.
Economy furnishes one of the chief of
these reasons. Every one knows the enor-
nous peculation that has been successfully
accomplished in the internal revenue de-
partmsnt Of the general government. In
the State and city governments the field
for such operations is not less seductive,
1t rs 80 easy to compromise heavy license
by paying a certain percentage of it az
private perquisites to those whose silence
will leave the delinquency unpublished.
An immense army of spies and collectors
is necessary to collect for any system of
personal taxation and, even then, the gov

portion of what ought to be the legitimate
fruit of the system. Thus the people are
virtually taxed to support, not the neces-
sary expenses of the State, but a large
body of employees whose time might other
wise be probably occupied in some useful
Both these evils are avoided
in the case of a tax on real estate, for it is
impossible that its payment can be escaped
and but very small force is necessary for
its collection.
Then comes the question of ANNOYANCE.
People get bewildered by the variety of
taxes which they must pay and of tax
gatherers whom they must satisfy. Some
grow hopeless and pay everybody who
presents them bill /; others become des-
perate and will pay nothing except under
he sternest coercion of the law. The
armer says "you wantme to pay separate

Mill, my wagons and teams, my black

DEPARTURE OF FATHER CHALoN.-Several
weeks ago We announced tho intention of this
venerable clergyman, one of tho pioneers of the
Church in the South, to return to his native
land. From tho Pscpagator we learn that he
has carried this intention into effect. The
.Prcpagator says:
This venerable ecclesiastic spent so many
years amongst us, that he seemed to be part
and parcel Of our population and country For
wen-nigh half . century he has labored in the
ardUous missions of the South, and during that
long career, has upheld alike the dignity Of the
priest and the honor of the gentleman. Since
Father Chalon came hither, many changes
hAye taken place, but, like the Church of
which he 10 the faithful minister, he. has re-
manned Interchangeable himself. The ancient
diocese Of New Orleans has been divided into
provinces and out of those provinces new
bishoprce have beene formed. Father Chalon
Witnessed this transformation and can we'll
afford now, at his advanced time of life, to en-
soy tho repcse due to q life we'll spent We
pallmiss our venerable brother from our rare
sciai gatherings; miss tho eloquence and
seetness of his voice, his urbanity of manner
fpt above all that cordial fran knees of demean.
(which betokened at once the true GENTLE
ON and the. educated priest. Never shall we

veneration for tho venerable Archbshon
Perche, yet almost inarticulate from his grief
OF leaving his beloved Louisiana.N Oar sincere
regret accompanies him 70 his distant home. in
which We hope he may enjoy, for many q year
to como, the repose and peace so iuatly merited
by his prolonged and la6orious ministry.

Already, Kings and Governments, in
terror of these men, feel the need of self

they do not disguise their hatred of tho

selves for tho work of Persecution. Our
Affairs stand in their way. And we must
stand around our altars-a guard of Honor
