having been deprived of their

and that any person should have
been found willing to contest the

prise to the community.

The New York papers are still
earnestly discussing the very
strong probability that the city,
sooner or later, will be visited by
a fire after the manner Of the
Chicago and Boston calamitles.-
The Times is greatly exercised a
bout the storage of immense
quantities of petroleum in the
heart of the. city, and says: "a
single kerosene lamp, upset in a
stable, started the fire that de-
stroyed Chicago. In this city,
within the region bounded by
Wall, William and Fulton streets,
and the East river, we have more
than one hundred buildings in
which thousands of gallons of
kerosene are stored. These bull
dings are far more infammable
than the Chicago stable. The
trains which must sooner or later
fire the city are laid, and the
matches placed close beside them.
The great petroleum fire Of New
York is destined to eclipse. in
magnitude and destructiveness
the largest fires that have yet
been known III this country

E-h5Esa@egahSg Elections.

The philadelphia Ledger, an
independent paper of large circu-
lation, thus speaks Of the way
elections are held in that city:
"What slim chance Philadel-
phia has for honest elections will
be somewhat better understood
by those who read Judge Flnlet-
ter's opinion upon the way Pro-
thonotary Laughridge neglects
his duties as the custodian Of the
election returns, and permits the
election laws to be violated with
impunity. There seems to be
no law for election rascalities in
this city, and the Courts appear
to be ]powerless to protect the
ballot-box, except through the
expensive and tardy form Of con-
test, which besides the immense
| cost and loss of time it involves
is so hedged about nowadays by
Ring coutrivances, that to enter
into a contest is virtually hold
ing an election over again, by
summoning the whole hundred
and twenty thousand voters as
witnesses. This is well under
stood by the Rings and hence
the approved method now is to
faisify and forge returns, give the
foreordained candidate a certf-
cate, and force the candidate

all the expenses, loss Of time.

Since IT, e death of MIR. Gree

Since the death of Mir. Gree
ley, it is stated that his whole
property will not exceed 100000
IN value. Ills lifelong geneTos>
ity, dispensed alike 10 the deserT-
ing and undese-ving, was one OF
the principal causes which tend
ed to greatly reduce his means.-
After he was nominated for the
Presidency, be insisted on giving
money to the Liberal national
committee, although they assur
ed him that, while money was
certainly needed to carry on the
campaign, he, beyond doubt,
needed it most, and ought not to
and must not, give it. Yet it is
said he not only persisted in Civ
ing FIVE thousand dollars to the
committee, but spent largely of
his private funds to satisfy the
demands of unprincipled men
who claimed to be working in
his interest, and that he actually
sold some of his shares in the
Tribune to meet these demands.
1t was generally believed a few
years ago, that outside of his
property in the Tribune, he was
worth from one to two hundred
thousand dollars; but in the last
year or two he has been careless
in his attention to pecuniary
matters in which he was person
ally interested. The Chappaqna
farm is said to be under a con
siderable mortgage and is to be
sold. Mrs. Greeley left some
property in her own name, be-
sides a life insurance policy on
her husband for d considerable
amount. All the estate of both
parents has been to the two
daughters, which places them in
reasonably comfortable circum-
stances. The value of their pro.
perty is estimated at over one
hundred thousand dollars.
