bio that the majority of the Northern
people will support him in preference
to Mr.. Greeley. 1t is equally unde.

they look upon him as the embodi-

Voting for Grant ut the North,

fearfully some time ago, has been the
means, we learn, of causing 1000
souls (mon, women and ohildren) to
perish in the Persian capital alone.

alarms in rapid success ou. The first
engine had hardlylreacio the ground
when the flames burst from the
fourth story .of,the store corner of
Sn 'anorfand Kingston stroots, .ocou,
pied as q wholesale dry goods estab-
iishmont. The fire originated in the
~nglnc room, the flames following the
elevator, and was first seen under tho
roof. The buildings in tho vicinity
were four-story granite mansard
roofs. ...- ''....
Tho flames soon reached the man,
sard roofs on the opposite side far
beyond the reach of the engines. In
thirty minutes the whole city in one
direction was at tkc mercy of tho
flames, which lcarcd from roof to
root. One great dry ,oods house
after another suceumbed. The granite
walls falling in tho streets and max
ing them impassiblc. The engines
were driven back from station to
station. Grauito blocks weighing
many tons split in fragments and
were hurled across the streets.

SUNDAY MORNING, 10 o'clock. -
Buildings wcrc blown up on Tiuden
and Congress streets to check tho

Beebec's block, on Winthrop
Square, the finest business structure
10 the country, is burned. Stewards

hames: Pieces Of dry goods went

caught like tindcr. Deafcning explo-
SONS arc constantly heard. The
tenement houses on the upper end of
Federal street, occupied by the Irish
laborlng classes, are HOW on fire, and

arms.
The wool houses in Federal street

10 tie Editor Of TIE Chicago Tribune:
SIR: I have made some tables from your list
of pardons in Mondays TRIBUNE.
Among the various causes Of crime: is 1t not
evident that slight penalty for great offences
against the community is prominent one!
The motiye-power Of 9 penalty lies in the GER
tainty and permanency Of its execution; but,
when criminals know that, for the worst crimes,
there are many chances for acquittal and few
for conviction, and that at the worst, they shall
escape with one-quarter imprisonment, with
good fare and comfortable quarters, it is easy to
see that the deterring power is small indeed, IN
the presence Of temptation or provocation:
I hope the Committee on the Causes Of Crime
will look into this subject, and that public senti-
nent will demand the infiiction Of the full pen
a1tv OF the lav; 80 that Forgery shall not be
made g light offence by one year and seven
months imprisonment; that Highway Robbery
shall cost more than three years; Burglary more
than one and three-quarter years; and that Muf-
der, committed for life shall not escape with o
paltry two and half years. and Rape and Incest
With barely one-third of the penalty required by
Law. .......
Taking all sentenced for one year end over in
your list, I find, e--
63 persons committed for various ofenses Tor
81 Years. but actually Imprisoned for I'm
years, which is an average of ~ years penalty,
but 1M actual imprisonment. ..~....
F., 25 persons committed for larceny, 8GH years,
but imprisoned only 36 years ave Average COM
Burelary-16 persons committed for IS years
actual, q years. Average, fraction over ~
years actual, less than 1sl years.
HieLway-Robbery--8p persons committed Tor
81 years !; actual imprisonment, 2354 years.
