CHICAGO.
The Relief BiII-Fire 1T Mnrray Vile
The Aldermen.

CHICAGO, February l6-A large
meeting Of the most prominent business
men of the city was held tonight 10
advocate the passage OF a bill for the
relief OF Chicago. Resolutions were
adopted setting forth that the people Of
Chicago simply asked the remission OF
the duties on building material actually
used 10 rebuilding their homes aud
places Of business in the burnt district,
for which taxes had been paid once, and
appealing to Congress not to make profit
out Of their misfortunes, and urging
their Representatives to use every effort
to secure the passage of the bill.
A committee Of twenty, among whom
are William B. Ogden, William Broas
John V. Farwell, Horace White and
Mayor MediIl, was appointed to 90 to
Washington and labor for the bill. The
few manufacturers who have been rep
resented as opposing the bill, stated in
person and through representatives that
they did so under misapprehension,
thinking that it was proposed to take It's
duty from all building materials received
at Chicago, whether for use or sale, and
that they nov cordially sustain the bill.
Many millions Of capital and nearly all
businesses and manufactures were rep
resented at the meeting
Eight stores and other business build
iugs, including the postoffice, were
burned at Murryyille, Ill, last night.
Loss, $4,000. All the contents OF the
postoffice were destroyed, and the In
surauce amounted to only $500.
/ The motion for change OF venue in
the cases Of Aldermen Whitaker and
McCully, will be argued in the Criminal
Court tomorrow morning. In event
of the application being denied. the first
case OF McCully will be tried on Monday
next. Whittaker's case has also been
set fer Monday, sud those Of Rowell
and Walsh for Tuesday. Thos. Car,
rev will be tried on Monday.

THE smallpox appears to he spreading
in all parts of this country, Europe and
tho world. It is alarm nGly pre- alent
in almost every large city III the United
States and Canada, and is gradually ex.
tending to the smaller towns and in to
the country. II is useless to shut our
eyes to the dreadful fact that the pest'
ence is abroad in the land, and there
are no signs of it, abatement. hat
vaccination IA II preventive, is well
demonstrated fact Oar advice to every
body everywhere is, be yaccinated, and
the sooner the better
The above is clipped from the
Chicago Evening Jo0raal, a very re-
liable papcr,-not in the least given
TO sensationaISm,-aud is worthy
of attention. That this dread dis
ease prevails in an alarming degree,
and is fast spreading throughout
our country, cannot be denied, and
ought not to be lightly considered
Every preventative obtanabIe
should be brought into requisition
in all localities.
Vaccination is pronounced by the
physicians to be the most potent
remedy, ifnot actually Il perfect de
fence against the disease, and sure
~ it should not be neglected. a
proposition is before our State Leg
islature to compel all persons to be
vaccinatcd, which we deem hardly
called for, rs only proper apprecia,
ton OF its Importance ought to be
necessary to induce the people to
avail themselves Of the remedy pro-
posed.

suspicion attaches might be good
political policy, but is 1t not the
course Of Justice. That the success Of
the Republican party is q matter OF
grave Importance to the country we
fully believe, and that every honora-
bic means should be employed to
insure its success no Republican will
deny, but that sacrifice of innocent
parties is demanded or would be
justified, we cannot admit. Let only
those suffer who are proved guilty,
and the Republican party need have
no fears. Let the country be shown
that we dare be just though the
heavens fall and the people will
honor us more than if we catered to
the loud cIamor of political dema-
gogues, and sacrificed principle to

The British Government has Just com.
pleted successful compaign in one OF
the widest districts OF India, known ms
the Looshai country, lying about 800
miles due cas- from Calcutta The dis
trict is about 60 miles broad at the widest
part, and l35 miles long, billy and dem
selv covered with jungle, traversed by
numerous streams, and Inhabited by
semi.nom1dic race OF men who pass their
time in rude cultivation and predatory
incursions on the plantations of their
British neighhors The latter fact
brought about the campaign against them
which has Just closed. The first exped-
ition was inaugurated in 1869, but, owing
tn the inaccessible nature OF the country,
it was Obliged TO return to the provinces
without accomplishment The Looshai
emholdened by this failure renewed heir
incursions and entered the tea district of
Cachar. Their outrages upon the inhab
itaats of Cachar Obliged the British
government to make the second exped-
ition, which reached successful ter
m!natiun.

SHOWING THEIR COLOHS.

The Liberal Republicans, OF, as
they are more appropriately styled,
the "Sorehead Republicans" headed
by those political malcoucents Carl
Scbure, B. Graft Brown, ct al, held
a convention at Jefferson city, Mis-
sonri, last week. This convention
served one purpose, if no more, and
that was to prove that it IS the IN
tcntion of these sorehcads to join
hands with the Democracy III the
approaching Presidential campaign,
and under the possum banner do
battle against the Republican party.
I'm thus showing their hands and
verifying the predictions Of their
opponents, they have done the party
they would bctray valuable service.
The people will readily see that
TO consort with them is to help the
Ku Klux Democracy into power,
which they don't purpose doing.
Referring to the convention, the
St. Louis Democrat--a Republican
paper says: They have pronounced
their own condemnation, and bIund-
cred into a confession Of the bad
ness Of their cause by boiling the
National Convention in advance.
What right have they to assume
that the Republican masses, in
whose patriotism they have protested
so coniide, will not do their duty
~ citizens? What grounds are
there to assume, FIVE months before
hand, that the people represented
in the convention in 1868, and who
have since repeatedly ratified their
national and State Conventions
at the polls, from one end of the
land TO the other, are SO imblclle or
so dishonest that they will be over
ridden or hribed in their conventions
this year? This, and only this, is
the impudcnt assumption on which
men, hypocritically calling them
selves Republicans, have gathered
in mass meeting and appointed
another mass meeting TO name n
Presidential candidate. They set
out with foul libel upon the Re
publican voters of the country, aud
that based upon no action they have
done, but upon the action it is an
ticipated they viii take half a year
hence.
The game is too plain. 1t is n
bold but weak break for the Presi-
dency through the Democratic party.
The transparency Of the trick spoils
it. Its indecent haste betrayS its
nakedness to every honest Rcpub-
lean. The Democrats will taunt-
ingly demand of these bummcrS;
Where are your voters? You said
you had ut least 1000 of them in
Missouri, yet you fail even to show
delegate convention, and resort to
the shystering use of celebrating 4
mass meeting.
