THE CHICAGO DISASTER.

The terrible confagration which has
reduced three-fourths of the great
Western Metropolis to ashes, has
spread CONSERVATION Throughout the
length and breadth of the land. 1t
seems hard to realize that the i'm
mense amount of property which has
taken years and years of human in
genuity and toll to accumulate, should
disappear in few hours before a
devastating element, engendered by
so small circumstance as the over
turning of a lighted kerosene lamp by
an unruly cow.
Over one hundred thousand human
beings, who were but few days ago
occupants of homes of more or less
splendor and comfort, are to-day
wanderers upon the face of the earth,
houseless and destitute, dependent
entirely upon the charity of their
fellow beings for shelter and food.
The larger portion of great city
which represented the industry of
years, and contained innumerable
magnificent structures, is now reduced
to heap of smouldering ruins which
leave no trace but in the recollection
of their once beautiful proportions.
The value of the property destroyed
is estimated at three hundred millions
of dollars. Does it not seem strange
then, that all this destruction and
desolation should be the result of a
boys carelessness in placing lighted
lamp too near cow which he was
milking? What terrible calamity
to result from so trivial a cause!
The prompt action which is being
taken by the authorities and inhabi-
tants generally of all the large cities
of the country to relieve the sufferers
by this great disaster, is a credit to
human nature. Relief is pouring in
from all sides, and though suffering
and want cannot be entirely checked
ON the moment, still it is comfort to
know that they will be alleviated to
a great extent, and that the unfortu-
nate victims of the confagration will
be enabled by the humanity of their
fellow creatures to enter upon the
great work Of rebuilding their homes,
and once more pursue the occupations
from which they have been driven by
a fire probably unparalleled in the
history of the world.

The Ku-Klux.

The New York Evening Post is q
journal which is more than ordinarily
careful in its statements, and candid
in its opinion. 1t is also one of the
few Republican journals that opposed
the Ku Klux legislation of last Com
gress. It has recently, however, pub
lished a series of letters from prom
inent South Carolinaian, whose
intelligence and honesty it vouches
for, and in an editorial article it states
that the facts it has learned from him,
and other sources, completely estab-
lish this much: That powerful
organization exists in the Southern
States, controlled by intelligent lead
ers, aud working though small, secret
societies, composed chiefly of desper-
ate and INSCRIPTIONS men; that the
object of this organization is tointim-
idate coiored voters of the Republican
party, in the interests Of the Demo-
cratic party and that it is sufficiently
powerful, social and numerically, to
control the local courts of justice, and
to influence or suppress public senti~
ment. Its acts of violence are invari-
ably done under the cover of night,
and its victims are always negroes
and white Republicans. In all places
where the known acts Of the order
have betrayed its existence, public
sentiment sustains it, either openly or
by silence. No one dares to deaounce
it. Judges in many places areintim-
idated by threats of removal OF death.
Juries are brow-beaten, and public
officers of every grade, if not in sym
pathy with the order, are intimdated.
1t is evident from this, that he Ku
Klux organization has great strength
IN both the number and social position
OF its members and officers.
The Post still further, emphitieally
denies the Democratic theory, hat no
acts of violence have been committed
IN the South except in the interest of
law and morality, and ON this point it
says:
No one class in the Southern Stats. or in
any other part of the world, has special
monopoly of either vice or virtue and if
vigilance committees assume the virdication
OF outraged morality, they ought % ynake
distinction other that of color and politics
The Post adds that it does not
expect any relief from the Gngres-
sional legislation ON this matter, and
expresses its preference for resort 30
:" moral remedies" We have ,epeat-
eddy traversed this ground and stated
the reasons why we differed from the
Post and other liberal Republican
journals on this point, and have
believedt that some positive action was
necessary under the circumstances. We
will not republish our reasons il this
time, and have only summed up the
Posts statements as being important
testimony from a witness of unin-
peachable character. -New To:k Tri-

NEW ORLEANS TO THE RESCUE.

A meeting of citizens was held in
New Orleans ON Tuesday to devise
means for obtaining relief for the suf-
ferers by the Chicago disaster. A
COMMITTEES ON collection of snbscrip-
tions was appointed, and subscription
books were issued to some fifty per-
sons who offered their services as COL
lectors, and certain districts assigned
to each person.
Governor Warmoth sent in check
for one thousand dollars Immediately
upon the organization of the meeting,
and the Howard Association and Mr.,
VIM. n. Mercer each subscribed the
same amount.
Shortly after, the Louisiana State
Bank voted donation of thousand,
and the Teutenia Bank one of FIVE
hundred dollars. Other corporations
viii no doubt follow this example, and
altogether it is thought New Orleans
win send one hundred thousand dol
lars to the Chicago unfortunates,
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1871-10-14
Still Another.

We copy from the New Orleans
Times the following IN relation to the
suspension of Secretary of State Bovee
from Office. The Times does wrong
to attribute the actions of unfaithful
officials to the party which elected
them, but the article contains some
sound, good sense, and we reproduce
it in full.
Sometime ago Gov. Warmoth per-
formed a useful task in bringing to
Judgment and expulsion the second
officer in responsibility and import
ance in the State Government. We
refer to the Auditor, who has an
almost unlimited control over the
finances of the State. We gave our
Jealous aid to the Governor in that
movement, at a time when he could
not get the aid even of the organ of
his party, and the other city journals
held aloof, or rather suggested apollo
gies and defences for the defaulting
and corrupt Auditor.
Fortunately, Wickliffe was elected,
and fed the State. Warmoth's course
was yindicated, and we did not hest
tate to give him the credit due for
such a result. Still the Radical party
had justly to bear the burden and
disgrace of electing and retaining so
notorious and fragrant a knavei in one
of the highest Offices of the State.
His character was well known to the
party when he was elected, yet, until
the Governor took grounds him, he
was recognized as one of the chiefs of
the party, and, at one time, exercised
SO large an influence, that the contest
between him and the Governor was
regarded as very doubtful.
Now comes another high official,
elected by the Radical party, whose
counsel goes into court and virtually
acknowledges that he perpetrated a
corrupt and gross fraud, one of the
most shameless that can be imagined,
that of promulgating as statute of
State, what never was approved and
acted upon by the constitutional legis-
lative power See the proceedings,
yesterday, in the case of Boyee, Sec
rotary of State, in the Eighth District
Court. The Attorney General, who
appeared in behalf of Bovee, took
the constitutional ground, that, having
been elected by the people, he could
not be suspended or removed by the
Governor, but at the same time, the
Attorney General not only avoided
all denial or defense of Bovee against
the charges of fraud, in promulgating
the act i'll question, but his own writ
ten statement furnishes the strongest
proof of the truth of that charge. If
the Attorney General is correct in his
legal proposition, and it certainly has
an appearance of correctness and
sound logic, it would follow that a
a high official elected by popular
vote cannot be removed from Office,
or suspended for any act, unless the
Legislature is in session, and he is
impeached. Considering the eharac-
ter of the men who are preferred by
the Radical party in this State, for all
the offices, the highest and lowest,
there is certainly great flaw in ohr
political system which produces such
lamentable results.
