IAwYERs on oHIcAaO.

The lawyers Of Chicago suffered
greatly by the fire. One account say
As specimen Of what the legal pro
fession Of this city has lost, we may
state that Gen. H. N. Eldridge, OF the
firm Of Eldridge 4 Tourtelotte, the ~,
torneys for Field, Letter \ Co. lost All
his papers, not scrap left, after having
nractieed law for fourteen years in Chr
caro. and in the same office. There is
NOT n law office nor law library left In
Chicago, except the few small duplicate
libraries at the residences Of the leading
LAWYERS. There is not paper showing
that there is suit pending in any OF the
six courts OF record in Cook county, in
GLIDING the Federal Court. There is
not an indictment in existence in the
county against any one, not Judgment,
not petition in bankruptcy in the Fed
eral courts. Even the duplicate files
that the lawyers kept in their Offices OF
important cases are all gone A few
may have escaped by being taken to the
houses for Sunday or night work. we
may add that there are in Chicago about
FIVE hundred lawyers.

OUR STATE nRRr.

The Knoxville Press aud Herald says
that by the sales of the three railroads
by the Railroad Commissioners, this
week, the bonded debt Of the State is
still further reduced to the extent of
$2,35O,OOO This reduction took place
Immediately upon the conclusion Of the
sales, for, by the terms of the law and
the decree Of the court the purchasers,
in addition TO the payment Of one-fourtb
Of the purchase money in hand, were
required to give bond with security for
the remainder, and for the payment Of
the interest on the whole amount unpaid,
from the date of sale. The debt of Ten
nessee, therefore, according to the recent
statements from the Comptroller Office,
and from the calculations Of the State
Treasurer, in his report to the Leeisla-
ture, will soon be reduced below $40 O0O,-
600. II thus begins to shrink into
manageable proportions, under couser-
vative management and the people Of
Tennessee can anticipate the early ap-
proach Of the day when our financial
credit will be fully restored aud our tax
rates revert to their legitimate measure.

GINGERBREAD ARCHITECTURE.

A Western paper, in allusion to the
subject Of rebuilding Chicago, remarks
that in this country, where cities spring
from the bosom of prairie in less than
an average lifetime, it is next to folly to
talk Demonstrating them as substantially
as the cities Of the Old World. 1t is
true that heavy walls and slate roofs
would be more economical in the end,
for no city fimsily constructed is ever
safe from fire. But men nowadays build
hurriedly. In city like Chicago, where
all was push, hustle and hurry, buildings
were run up with no other design than to
save time, provide a place Of business
and make as fine gingerbread display
enthusiastically as possible, We don't
know how men can be made TO construct
cities substantially without municipal
enactment. Unless there is something
Of this kind it is more than likely that
Chicago's recent terrible lesson will be
lost upon herself She is certain to
spring from her ashes, and that, too, at
an early day. Hurried building will be
the order Of the hour, aud in ten years
the city will be prepared for just such
another calamity as the one which the
whole country now laments.

rHF Way IT WAS DONE.

In reference to the result Of the recent
election in Ohio, the Cincinnati Enquirer
refers to certain facts that should be
horne in mind First, that with the
single exception of 1862 the Republicans
have carried Ohio every year since 1853
on the popular vote by a majority usually
ranging up in the tens of thousands.
Two years ago the majority against Mr.
Pendleton for Governor was IN the
neighborhood of 5000. Last year, when
some 1900 negro votes were added
to the poll, the majority was bout III
600. Second, in the canvass this year,
we we're unfortunately crippled by the
sickness of our candidate for Governor,
who was unable to fulfill his appoint
ments and give that personal attention
to them which is usually expected from
him. The Administration made the
most extraordinary exertions IN order
to secure the reelection of Senator Sher-
man. 1t put its thousands of office
holders to work. 1t made its demand
upon the National banks and the manu-
ufacturing corporations for subsidies, all
of which were literally answered. Its
Cabinet officers patrolled the State, and
every effort which a thorough organiza-
ton, long victorious, could make, was
resorted to for success. The Democracy
had none of these appliances, SO impor-
tant in securing a general attendance at
the polls, in their favor They were
without patronage, and, to very con-
siderable extent, their organization was
defective" t l.1

To .the Editor Of the Ledger .

Tothe Editor oil the Ledger ffA1l
Having heard during the week that
the celebrated maestro and tenor, Mr.. j.
Ernest Perring, had arrived in our city,
and would take charge of the music and
preside at the organ of St. Peters on
Sunday, we we're led by the prestige of
the name to attend both morning and
evening service, and in giving our inn
pressons of the music, we will be as
brief as possible. The mass selected for
the occasion was Farmers, in B fiat, and
from the first movement to the fnale we
were more than satisfied, we were de-
lighted beyond expression. We have
heard this mass often before, but never
was it given with such delicaey
of expression, and with such religious
fervor. The tempo was marked
and steady, and taken with great
Judgment. The lights and shades
were beautifully observed. and we were
particularly struck with the rendering of
the Et Inearnatus, which was given
with steadiness and poise that express
ed the very quintessence OF religious in
SEPARATION. We cannot particularize each
movement, but each bore the impress of
the maestro's hand The vesper service
was brilliant and effective, and a great
deal was added to the organ score by
the educated mind of Mr.. Perring. We
never heard the grand old organ so
powerfully speak out the praise of God
as on yesterday, under the mastery
touch OF its new master. The pedals
were played with the same facility as the
manuel, and the effect was overp0wer-
ing and grand, and something entirely
new, we think, TO the habitues Of st.
Peters. We congratulate the Reverend
Fathers on the success Of their
efforts in securing such a gentleman 70
take charge Of their music, and we con
graduate the citizens of Memphis on the
acquisition Of sueh transcendent ability,
and must say, that no small credit should
be given to Mr.. II. N. Oliver, through
whose untiring efforts Mr.. Perring was
induced to come. Before closing, we
must mention the undoubted claims of
Mrs. j. R.. Miles to rank as the leading
lady vocalist Of Memphis. Her clear,
brilliant and sympathetic voice, alone
sustained the leading part IN mass and
vespers, doing solo as well as chorus
passages, with purity Of intonation
that was truly marvellous. We must
mention the gem Of the evening before
closing, 1t being a trio, by Verdi, with
flute oblgato. This was beautifully rem
dered by Mrs. Miles, Messrs. Gideon,
Oliver and Tomlinson. In closing, we
can only say, that if Memphis does not
make an effort to sustain Mr.. Perring,
she deserves to be forever shut out from
all that is grand and beautiful in music.
But we know that our people are appres
ciative, aud ever willing TO recognise
talent OF high order, and so shall dis
miss all fears but that Mr.. Perring will
make his future home among us.

New YoRK, October l6.-The various
towns and cities of Long Island are
working enthusiastically for the Chicago
relief fund, and it is estimated that at
least 100000 will be raised in cash, be-
sides provisions and clothing.
The total New York subscriptions for
Chicago, including those collected in The
city churches yesterday, amount to up
ward of s2,OOO,OOO.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Bross, OF
Chicago, has accepted an invitation to
attend the New York Chamber OF Com
merce relief committee at eleven o clock
to-day, and make an address concerning
the recent Chicago calamityand the best
means Of affording relief RIO
A secret meeting Of prominent Poles
resident in this and surrounding cities
was held yesterday, and steps were
taken to avert danger which, it Is said,
threatens Grand Duke Alexis on his ar
r;yal in New York. II is asserted that
some of the most ignorant and violent
of the Polish race have formed CON
spifacy to insult and perhaps assassinate
the son ofsthe Gear during his sojourn
as guest. No knowledge of it has reached
the police so far, but doubtless preeau-
tons will be taken 70 avoid any danger
The alleged plot will most probably be
discountenanced by a majority OF the
Polish race. f~
BRooSLYS, October l6.-The entire
contributions Of the Brooklyn churches,
Yesterday to the Chicago relief fund
amounted to about s35, 900, which, added
