An Appeal from Chicago for Aid for the Suf-

Thousand Persons Rendered Destitute.

Thousand Pcrs0ns Rendered Destitute.
CHICAGO Oct 80, 1871,
The Tribune this morning makes an appeal to the
generous In behalf Of the sufferers by the Gres In
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. Probably nfty
thousand persons IN Northern Wisconsin and Michi.
gan alone have been stripped OF every earthly pos.
session by these fires. Many OF them have also
been rendered sick, blind or crippled by the
ordeal, which Will necessarily make them
objects OF charity for some time to come.
Unfortunately, too when whole families and whole
communities were involved In the common ruin,
there are no neighbors nor relatives whom. In
Chicago, some OF the sufferers can fall back for as.
Hstance. They can merely flock In masses to the
nearest towns unscathed by the flames, there to
starve or freeze unless timely aid arrives. There
should, for humanity's sake, be prompt and copious
needed. The Governors OF Wisconsin and Michigan
are the most appropriate channels through winch
aid can be administered.

The state within the last three years

complete 10 miles; Texas Central
so; Texas Pacific, 20; San Antonio aud

will be done on all these roads, and
the work completed first part of next
year, Texas ships 100000 head of
cattle this year. Out of Red river,
225,000 bales Of cotton. A large
amount of cotton is shipped at Jelitr-
son and Shreveport, going direct to
st. Louis via Carter line. Immi-
grants travelling by this line save
time and money, and avoid the great
annoyance Of reshipping at mouth of
Red river. The crop of this year is
good, and will bring more money than
last year; 20 per cent. less cotton rails
ed, but more corn, grain and cereals.

What Andrew Johnson Says Of the
Situation.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, recently "interviewedYEx-
President johnson, at lis home in
Grecncville, and from his report, we
make the following extract.
MISTAKES OF REcoNsTRUCTIoN.
The Ex-President has modified
none of those well-knOwn positive
opinions about which he battled with
Congress. In a long conversation
with the Iribune's correspondent to-
day he announced his continued adj
heSion to that famous policy upon
which he insisted with such pertinaci-
cy while in the White House, and
said he believed the time would come
when public opinion would say he
was in the right. lie still believed, he
said, that tile States should not have
been punished as communities, but
that a few leading traitors should
have been tried and hung for their
crimes. As this was not done, the
next best thing was to have granted
general amnesty. He regarded it as
a grave mistake that the secession
question had not been determined by
the courts after the war. .- ~.
THE AMENDMENTS. ID
Speaking of the constitutional
amendments, Mr.. Johnson said 1t
was UnWtSe 10 resist them or queS-
ton Hc0r rdtidity. They are adopted
IN the prescribed form, although, as
he believed, i'll a manner contrary to
the spirit of the Constitution, and
they should be acquiesced i'll until
such time as they were changed in
the proper way. 1t was folly, he
said, to think the supreme Court
would ever pass upon them and de-
clare them not TO be valid. They
'ccre a part Of the Constitution nor,
and as much 10 be obeyed as any
otHer part, us.sh Il ,ras saOi ,rnsJb
,ch,te 10 raise any opinion o1oat
them.
CONGRESSIONAL CSURPATIoN. I'D
The ex-President still holds that
the great future danger to the cOun-
try lies in the usurpation of power
by Congress, and the centrilization
in that branch of the Government,
of functions belonging to the Execu-
tive, the Judiciary, and the State
Governments. lie was particularly
severe Oh the present system of in
ternal taxation, which he said was de-
stroying public morals, and had di-
vided the people into two classes
to taxpayers, who sought to cheat |
the Government out of all the tax |
they could, and the taX-collectors,
who stole all of the tax they dared |
to, after they collected it. Fraud de-
falcation and corruption were the |
natural results of this system.

NAPOLEON.
The Plans and Aspirations Of the
EN-Emperor.

NEW YORK, Aug, ia gentleman
has just returned from Europe where
he has been on intimate social rela-
tions with the French Imperial family,
informs an interviewer of morning
paper that believes in his early restora-
ton, that the Government of Theirs
is regarded as a mere make-shlft, and
that his death at that time would I've
followed 10y another civil war. Gam
BETA is looked upon as an ambitious,
intriguing, able man. Bazaine waits
for history TO justify him lie Boerufi is
a wretched creature. The Empress is
well, and intends TO send the Prince
on a tour through the United states
when he is little older. The mpe-
rial family receive the attenti) III of roy
atty and the nobility of England.
There are two parties in France, the
ImpeTialists and Red Republicans.
The Bourbons are no where. European
dipIomatists abroad favor his return,
believing the restoration of Napoleon
could keep in subsection the disorGerly
elements of the French which are now
a constant menace to Europe.
1t is also stated that England is
threatened with serious revolutionary
troubles, and it was believed that the
Government would satisfy demands of
the people.

THE Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad have re-laid their road from
Nashville to Normandy, a distance
of sixty-three miles, with the fish bar
pattern, manufactured at the Chatta-
nOOga Rolling Mills, and twenty-five
hands are now kept constantly en-
ployed putting down the new rails as
fast as they are furnished, so that
within the next three or four months,
it may be confidently expected nearly
the entire road will have been newly
ironed. As the old iron has TO he re-
placed by new between the running
OF trains, the process is necessarily a
tedious one, consequently a large
number OF new rails are tied together,
aS it were, by the fish bar, and when
the opportunity offers, the old rails
are rapidly torn up, and the new
hastily laid in their places aud
spiked.
The track OF the entire road is in
splendid condition, aud good time is
made. The passenger trains leaving
Nashville run 10 Chattanooga, dis
lance of 80 miles, in nine hours, and
return in seven hours and forty five
minutes, very seldom missing con-
nection with trains OH other connect
ing roads. The time is slower from
Nashville to Chattanooga, from the
fact that there is more time allowed
for making connections with the
southern roads, but the trains can
make as fast time going south as COM
ing north.

CINCINNATI acted nobly in the ele-
CANT reception giver the Press EX-

Of the whoIe-souled and princeIy liber-
atty of Cincinnati. 1t is the way they

Death OF Judge Turner.

Hon. w. X. TURNER, an old and
highly esteemed citizen of Nashville,
and at the time of his death Judge
of Davidson County Court, died last
Thursday. Judge TuRNER was a ma
tive of North Carolina, but had re-
sided in this State over a third of a
century. Before the war he was for
many years Criminal Judge of Da-
wilson, Montgomery and,Rutherford /;
and by his dignified bearing on the
bench, his great familiarity with the
law, and his faultless judicial abili-
ties he became at once a great favorite
with the members of the bar, and
was very justly regarded one of the
ablest and best Criminal Judges in
the whole country. He was sound
lawyer and an able advocate, and al
ways enjoyed at the bar, lucrative
practice.
AT the close of the war he resumed
his practice, and for several years
there was hardly an important crimi-
nal case in which he was not engaged.
The constant and severe labors de-
volving upon him at that period
broke him down, and Immediately
following lengthy argument in a
trial, he was stricken down
with paralysis, and for long time
was confined to his bed.
A year ago his friends brought him
out as candidate for Judge of the
County Court, TO which position he
was elected. Since that time he con-
Iinued in feeble health, until few
days bUfUrp MS death, wiIvn no had a
second attack of paralysis, which
closed his mortal career. lie was
good and true man, and leaves a.
arge number of friends throughout
he country to mourn his loss.

GEN. HARLAN, who valiantly aud
VIGOROUSLY captured preacher in
Alabama one quiet Sunday during the
reign of bayonets, was the Radical
candidate for Governor of Kentucky
at the late election in that State. He
made one hundred and fifty speeches
during his canvass and then expected
the people 10 elect him! 1t was more
than they could stand, and he WIS de-
feated by nearly 1900 votes. If he
had made few more speeches, there
is no estimating how much he would
have been beaten.
