THE GREAT BOSTON FIRE.

THE MAIN PART OF TIE BUSINESS PORTION
OF THE CITY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
LossEs-ANoTHER CHICAGO.
About seven thirty Saturday evening
fire was discovered in No. 81 Summer
street, which soon spread to the adj joining
buildings, and notwithstanding the exer-
tons of the firemen, extending across
Summer street, enveloping both sides Of
the street in flames at this point, with
rising wind, the fire soon swept in every
direction; extending northerly on east
side Of Summer street, including Otis
Arch, Winthrop Square-Devonshire to
Franklin street, and easterly to Federal,
crossing to Congress, toward Pearl thence
easterly crossing Purchase streets, to
Broad, crossing to Russia wharf, to the
water, and from this point, as far as the
eye could reach, extending southerly, to
Tilestones and Prentice's wharfs, to Hart
ford Il Erie depot, destroying this, and
working southerly. kilograms were sent
to the principal cities within range of
fifty miles, for assistance
The fire continued to rage with terri
BILE fierceness until = o'clock Sunday
morning, when it was finally got under
control after sweeping everything before
it, for eighteen hours. No such Gestruc.
tive fire as this, ever before visited New
England city, and if the terrible total Of
S250.000,000, at which the loss is now
estimated is realized, the Boston fire will
be the most destructive Of all the great
fires of the history. Chicago only ex.
cepted.
The burnt district is bounded by Sum.
mer, Federal, Brown, Central, Water,
Washington and Bedford streets. The
area is two or three miles square, and in.
cludcs almost all the business part of the
city. Owing to the fact that the area does
not include many dwelling houses, we are
spared the painful details of women and
children driven from their homes, desti.
tute and starving, that thrilled the ma
ton with horror after the Chicago fire.
Among the prominent buildings burned
are the Mercantile Library Building, the
old Post Office and the new Post Office.
the Cathedral Block, the beautiful Trans
cript building, the Hartford and Erie
Depot, and many of the finest and cost
liest buildings in the city.
A Cable dispatch was sent ovor the
wires to the London Board of Stock
Brokers, as follows: Terrific confagra-
ton in Boston; half the city in ruins,
Stocks must decline Tomorrow.
Upwards of 100 900 people witnessed
the fire, and the U. S. Marines were
ordered out to pursue order.

The New Postal Law.

1t is now pretty generally known that
Congress at its last session provided for
the transmission of packages OF merchan-
disc through the mails, at the rate of
two cents for each four ounces, or irac-
tional part thereof, to the amount Of
twelve pounds. This was hailed as an
improvement upon the previous manner
OF doing business, inasmuch as the charges
are so much less, that it was thought that
the public would avail themselves of
its provisions to the great grief of the
express companies. But Congress, it
seems, left the work but half completed
in that it failed to guarantee the safe
delivery of goods iutrusted to their ag-
ents; and so long as the handling of the
mails are left to irresponsible boys and
men without any principle of honesty,
one might as well send his money to the
heather lat once,as to order goods through
any such medium. There is no safety
whatever in sending valuable articles
through the mails, and whoever tries it
will soon become convinced of the truth
OF this statement and until the Govern
ment undertakes to guarantee the safe de.
livery Of all goods intrusted to thei- care
just so long will the express companies
continue to do business at their present
exorbitant charges, and people will pat
ronize them because they are safe.
Almost any one would prefer to pay
to long tried and responsible company,
an exorbitant price for the sure delivery
of valuables at given point than to give
them in charge Of band of thieves and
robbers,even though they engage to carry
them at less than half the price charged
by their trials. A LOSER.

Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds ofthe cases Of consumption. Many

the bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade,
feeling sometimes very restless, and at other times
drowsy; tho food that lie taken lies heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acdty and belching
of wind, These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach or n torpid
liver. Persons affected, ifthey take one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive, and before

FROM LONDON. London Nor. 5.-Thc
London Times, this morning. in an article
forecasting the issue of the presidential
election in the United States says The
reelection Of President Grant will be
eminently satisfactory and will defeat an
audacious intrigue to secure control Of
the government of the United States.
President Grant has not proved a perfect
chief magistrate. He has been guilty of
extreme carelcssness, and it is so to be
hoped he will take lesson from tho de-
velopment of the past six months. His
errors were errors of ignorance but this
defense will always hold good. The post
must be effaced. Reform in the civil
service urgently demands the appointment
to office Of persons qualified to administer
their duties. Grants vii must force the
national legislature to sanction reform"

frage, he will gladly do SO. For the
present, however, he can best command
that contamination by silence and for
bearance. The victors in our late strug-
gle can hardly fail to take the whole SUBJ
ject of Southern rights and wrongs into
early and earnest consideration, and to
them, for the present, he RENTS it. Since
he will never again De candidate for
any office, and is not in full accord with
either of the great parties which have
hitherto divided the country he will en-
dcavor tn give wide and steadier regard
to the progress of science. industry and
the useful arts, than a partisan journal
can do, and he will not be provoked to
indulge in those bitter personalities which
are the recognized bane of journalism.
Sustained by generous public he will do
his best to make the Tribune power in
the broader field it now contempates,
when as, human freedom was in peril, it
was in the arena ofpoitical partisanshp.
