THF LOSS OF HARVARD COLLEGE.

Harvard University has lost heavily by the
Boston fire. It held property in the
burnt district to the amount of $685..
600. This amount includes the value Of
the land. 1t will cost 100000 to re-
build. Towards this 1t had Sl00, 900 of good
insurance out Of the S2l6, for which it
was insured. The permanent loss Is thus
reduced to $500. 900. "This," says President
Elliot, 1--WE must beg" BY the losses Of the
fire the university is cut of from about $40,-
600 Of rents until it can rebuild. Some Of
tho most essential expenditures of the univer.
sity were made from this income, Several
Of the professors salaries were paid from It !;
a portion was used for the repair Of build
ings; and the remainder was used in
the everyday needs Of the college.
This $40 900 and $4,000 more to meet
insurance assessments, the reinsurance
of building collectors and Libraries 10 needed
Immediately, in order that the work may go
on at Cambridge. The insurance was mostly
in Boston and adjoining towns. The proper
~ destroyed was located as follows: Nos.
to 5 Arch street; "a to 20 and 45 to 40 Frank
lin. street: rs to 20 Hawley street.
The loss falls on the different departments
Of the college about equally. The divinity
school loses fund of about $4,000, required
Tor salaries and current expenses. The law
school and collegiate departments suffer SIM
ilarly. The $4,000 required might perhaps
be easily raised by Harvard from its own re-
sources, had it any general fund or income
on which to draw; but every fund it has
is pledged to some particular application, and
no power in the university has authority to
divert 1t.
The full valuation given above, 1885,, 900,
is the city valuation. President Elliott thinks
the land is estimated too high and the build.
ings to low. He does not see how they can
rebuild on the city valuation. The UNIVERSE
ty wishes to rebuild Immediately te repair its
income, but it cannot do so unless the burnt
82OO, 900 can be replaced. President Elliott
is cheerful and confident that Harvard's sons
and friends will not desert her IN the time of
her need.

The persons put in nomination for Aldermen
are, with few exceptions, Of the most undesir-
able class for civic rulers. The character of the
Board OF Aldermen Las sunk so low that respect
able citizens cannot be induced, except at q
great sacrifice, to become members. Last fall,
the people of the city, with commendable zeal,
forcibly elected number OF crcditable citizens;
these are in great danger of being overwhelmed
by different class who have been named as
candidates this year. Our advice to all voters is
to select in their respective wards the men who
are best deserving and best fitted for tic place,
and vote for no others.

Unless the citizens Of Chicago exercise the
closest personal scrutiny in voting for candi-
dates for. the Common Council, they will find
themselves cursed with more dangerous era Of
municipal misrule than ever before. The e1pe-
rieuce Of this city has been Of kind that is said
to teach the child to avoid the fire but it has
not been sufficient to induce such interest and
cooperation in the primary meetings as to
overcome the usual riff-raf who claim the
monopoly Of nominating the Aldermanic candi~
dates on both sides. There are twenty Alder
men to be elected from the twenty different
wards Of the city. There are more than fifty
candidates already in the field Ont Of this
large number there are few who
are suited by character, position, and trust
worthiness to represent the interests Of the
people in the Common Council. The rest are
positively disgraceful. If the Oldest inhabitant
and best citizen Of Chicago should scan the list
of candidates, he would be forced to acknowl-
edge that he could not pick out twenty whom he
could indorge.
The TRIBUNE does not propose to enter upon
a discussion Of the relative personal objections
to the men who have been nominated. It would
be difficult matter for q public journal, in SO
large city as Chicago, to do this fairly and i'm
partially. This is at once the province and the
duty Of the good citizens Of the various wards
inwhich they live. II they have failed to exercise
their privilege ut the primary meetings, there
is time enough to applya remedy at the polls.

In the trial OF Mayor Hall, the case for the
prosecution has closed without the presentation
Of any additional evidence Of interest. I'm
portant rulings in favor of the defence were
made BY Judge Brady, who held that Hall had
nothing to do with the bills audited by the old
Board except to sign the warrants, and refused
to admit testimony that he knew the bills to be
fraudulent, and also excluded all the evidence
concerning Tweeds deposits in the broadway
Bank, and the failure of Tweed and Connolly to
attend to their duties in the Board Of Audit.
Some of the counts OF the prosecution will be

changes in the boundaries OF precincts that it

4 political party has O. decided advantage in
engaging German organ and an English organ
at the same timo when there is Sunday law to
be enforced For instance: The Staats-Zeitung
assures its German readers that the Greeley men
of the City Government are responsible for the
ATTEMPTED enforcement of the law for closing the
dates, if elected, will make no effort to put the
law into execution. On the other hand, the
Post assures its American readers that the
Grant men are entitled to the credit of enforcing
the Sunday Law, and will continue the effort to
render it q thing of beauty and o joy forever.
If the people are not suited with one or the
other Of these declarations OF principle, they are
hard to please.
, 1872-10-29

There are general instructions, however, which
shou1d'be observed. First, there should be an
individual interest in the election Of Alderman in
each ward, entirely distinct and separate from
tie vote On the National issue or State election
It will scarcely be denied that the question Of
Universal Amnesty, or Of Ku-Klu1 laws, has no
more to do with the duties Of Councilman than
ithas with the choice Of q faithful bookkeeper or
tn governess Of achild. When thepeople have
separated their choice OF city guardians from
National issues, the next step is nm organization
Of the respectable residents Of each ward in
favor OF the best candidate. Il, az the case &C.
tually is to-day in several wards Of Chicago,
there is not q single candidate who should re-
ceive the support Of decent men, then there
should be q union OF the people upon an inde-
pandent candidate, chosen with especial refer
ence to his honesty and his ability to serve the
best interests OF the community. No citizen
should cast his vote for any candidate for the
City Council without having first satisfied him
self personally that the man he votes for will
use his power for the benefit Of property hold
of tho people. Those who will, not devote the
time and trouble to this prccaution will have no
right to complain If they are swindled in the
next tax-levy. -.
The danger that is apprehended from the
selection Of City Councilmen at the coming
election is in no way exaggerated. In one
ward, where there are three or four candidates
running, the least Objectionable of all OF them is
q professional gambler, who probably desires to
be elected chiefly to watch the interests Of the
blacklegs. Another candidate is among the list
Of Aldermen convicted Of the crime OF bribery,
and sent to jail therefor. In four wards Of the
city, the candidates placed in the field at the Re-
publican primary meetings are popular1y known
to be official thieves. In all the wards, except
seven, infinitely better men than any who are
mentioned could have been, and may yet be,
found who will serve as Aldermen, it the people
will take tie trouble to elect them.
, 1872-10-29

At the meeting Of the Personal Liberty League,
yesterday, it VAS announced that q Legislative
ticket had been made up of those who were
devoted to the interests of the liquor-dealers.
Aldernanic candidates have been selected,
pledged to repeal the Sunday Liquor Law. Men
are to be appointed to attend the polls in the
interests Of the ealoon-lsocpers, to distribute
tickets, and canvass for votes. The saloons will
be closed during the election in order that the
dealers may give their personal superintendent
to the work. 1t WAS decided to mako nc public
demonstration.

this fact, martial law would have taken the nlace
Of civil law, and free election would hav.. a,en
prevented. -.
q Ihe recent arbitrary arrests Of peaceful
citizens Of New York by the man Davenport.
who holds the Office of United States Commits
sioner, and is the Federal Chief Supervisor Of
Elections, is another instance OF this determine
tlon to control the elections. Acting under in
st1uctlons from his superiorB, he has carried out
tho Enforcement law, itself at variance with the
spirit OF republican institutions, and Of doubtful
consututlonallty, in such manner that any
citizen ls liable to arrest not only at the polls,
bat also In his own home, contrary
to the letter and spirit Of the 1aw,
winch does not warrant domicilary visits.
10 the Outrage and indignity of these arrests,
this Commissioner has added the refusa1 to Grant
speedy hearing, and the illegal declaration that
tile prisoners shall not be released on bail. For
such an outrageous and tyrannical abuse Of tho
rights OF personal liberty, this Commissioner
throws hlmself back upon the authority of the
PRESIDENT, and openly boasts that the latter sus-
talns him, and that, whatever disposition the
courts may make of his writs and decisions, he
can pro1ong these outrages until after the cleo
ton, and thus have clear field for manipulate
ing the registry, and the election, also. In case
the election is successful, he will look, and not
IN vain, to the Presidentfor immunity from pun
ishment for his offences. That this project to
d1stranchise voters in New York, and prevent a
free election, did not originate with Davenport,
and that he is only the tool, is now mads clear
by afidaVits which fasten it's authorship upon
the Secretary Of State of New York, who di-
Vu1ged his scheme to certain doubling Thomases
in the Republican party, and assured them that
he and Davenport would 'sd1 everything right
in New York" In pursuance Of this plan, Day.
enport agreed to ascertain the politics Of each
man who registered, to arrest and detain until
after election day every Greeley man who could
command any considerable number Of votes, and
to so tamper with the vote OF the people at
large as to divert it from Greeley to Grant. To
shield him from punishment would be the work
Of the Administration, as the profits OF his work
enure to their benefit !.
It would not be difficult to produce numerous
other proofs Of the determination Of the Admin
istration to continue itself in power by interfer-
ing with the election and preventing the oppo~
nonts OF Grant from voting. The two cases to
which we have alluded, however, show its AMI
mus with sufficient clearnoss. II there we're no
other issue in this canvass, this alone ought to
be sufficient to arouse the American people to
sense Of the danger which is threatening them,
and which will undermine Republican institu-
tions if it is not arerted. If the Administration
is allowed this time to trample upon personal
and State rights, it will be easier to do it the
next time. It is the first and most dangerous
step towards absolntism when the right Of the
people to express their will at the polls is pre-
vanra1

penditure of money. Any Democrat in the
Eighteenth Ward can get place in the Custom
House by supporting Mr. Farweu. The num-
Der of Inspectors Of Customs resident in the
Eighteenth Ward is truly wonderful, and the
growth OF the foreign commerce requiring Gus
tom House agents exceeds computation. There
do not seem to be any Inspectorships to be di-
vided among the German wards the Eigh-
teenth Ward gets all the plumber
Despite all this questionable but
long familiar system Of electioneering
at the public expense, Mr;; LeMoyne is making
active progress in the district. That he will
carry the Eighteenth Ward BY q handsome
majority is not questioned, and if the other
four wards do their duty, he will leave the city
with large majority.

THE CONTEST IN ILLINOIS.

The concurrent reports from all parts Of the
State are to the effect that the Liberal cause has
never been moro hopeful in Illinois than ut this
time. From all quarters and sections OF the
State come assurances that if the Liberals OF
Chicago will poll their vote, the State will be
carried not only for Koerner but for Greeley,
and secure majority III both branches of the
General Assembly. The contest for the govern.
ment OF the State Of Illinois seems to
depend largely on tlis county. Outside
Of Cook County, it is understood that tho
Republicans concede their State ticket il beaten,
and they arc yehc1lently demanding that Cool,
County shall give Grant 5000 majority or the
State will be lost.
These arc the indications as reported. There
is no doubt whatever felt outside Of this county
that Koerner will beat oglesby, and that Bever-
idge will fall far behind Oglesby. There never
has been such animation in the Liberal ranks as
at this timo. All through the State
they are receiving acquisitions to their numbers.
The active ezertions making by the Chicago
Times faction to create diversion in favor Of
s'Nobody and Adams, have only aroused d feel
ing of indignation. Every vote which Grant and
Oglesby receive from that quarter will cost hard
II less thnn 500, paid, not to the voter, but to
the self-constituted brokers who sell the vote to
the Republican Committee.
Our friends in Chicago, therefore, have perhaps
the whole question in their hands. This city
ought to give, and if the full vote is poIled can
give, very heavy Liberal majority. 1t is within
the power of the Democrats and Liberal Repub-
icans OF this city, if they will poll their vote, to
send each OF their Congressional candidates
ont Of the city with al large majority. Here, then,
is the place for work during the present week.
The forty thousand voters in this city have it in
their power to give the State to Greeley or to
Grant; to elect Koerner OF Oglesby; to elect
three Republican or three Liberal members of
Congress, and to elect controlling number Of
members Of the General Assembly. ALI that is
required,&o secure Liberal victory in illinois is
to get out the voters in Chicago. We have
majority of the voters with Us, and all that is
needed is that they be brought to the polls.
