bers Boston.
CHICAGO, November 10.-The most
intense excstement prevailed here all
day over the Boston fire. The hotels,
telegraph and newspaper offices have
been throrg ged with crowds Of people all
eager for news. Many Boston mer
chants are at our hotels. Some Of them
find that their fortunes have been swept
away by the fire. The Tribune, Times
and Evening Mail issued extra editions
and sold immense numbers. The feeling
ia one of sympathy, and desire to
do something as soon as is known what
is needed. Chicago remembers the
generosity OF Boston in her hour Of
sffliction, and will respond literally,
though most OF our business men are
already carrying all the loads they can
stagger under. Chicago, as . city, ls
powerless to return the $l25, 900, which
Boston gave her, or even portion OF it.
. An informal meeting OF as many Of
the members OF the Chicago Relief and
Aid Society as could be gotten together
was held this morning at the house Of
Writ Dexter, Esq chairman Of the Ex-
exutive Committee. After consultation
the following dispatch was sent:
To Hon. VIM Gray, Boston:
Our people desire to do everything
possible for city that came 90 nobly
to our aid as Boston did. Tell US what
we can do. We will share with you
whatever We have lett.

to the shore by the steamer Webster,
after which the freight, consisting OF
eighty barrels OF whisky and 200 boxes
OF cheese, andal OF the stock on board,
was safely transferred to shore,

getting the cotton out OF the hold was
commenced in order tat the leak
might be stopped, but before this was
accomplished Capt. Cannon saw that
the boat would break i'll two, and or.
dered the ti-es put out, so that In case
she broke in two and the steam pipes
broke there would be no loss OF life, as
would have been the case had not this

the hsnds Of Chief Engineer Daniel
The Hrst effective work done was the
blowing up of buildings. A. nine
o'clock building was blown to atoms
on Kingston street and this was the
beginning OF the final checking of the
flames. A large patrol Of officers sur
rounds the burnt district to night, and
no one is allowed to enter without q
psss from the Chief Of Police.
STILL LATER.
BosroN, Novemb Der IL, l245 A. M
At q quarter past IL o'clock six or eight
explosions Of buildings took place,
caused by the escaping gas, creating
an alarm that the fire would extend into
the buildings not already burned on the
south side OF Summer street.
VIM. D. Brooks building, in Central
Court, is now 10 flames, and the fire Is
extending towards Avon street.
The authorities are preparing to
blow up Jordan, Marsh & Company g
store.
LIS A. M.-Tbe fire at this hour has
broken out again in the rear Of Jordan,
Marsh & Co.'S extensive dry goods store,
on Washington street, between Central
aveune and Avon place, and is raging
with great fury. The alarm has brought
out the tired-out firemen and they have
commenced battling the fire with aids
of fresh firemep, who have just arrived
with two steamers aud hose carts from
New Haven and 200 iremen. Showers
OF cinders are flying over this part OF
the city and the terror stricken people
are removing their goods from stores
and houses. A crowd OF police keep
the excited crowds Of people from dan
ger and the authorities are making
preparations to blow up buildings.
The Park Hotel is in flames. Every
few minutes explosions like artillery
are heard from the great volumes OF
gas which have leaked into sewers and
have caught fire. 1t is expected that the
the gas will be cut off from this part OF
city. The Old South Church has not
vet been destroyed. The walls on the out
side were damaged, but it stands intact.
Thousands of tons of coal are On fire
at the Boston, Hartford and Erie depot.
Acres OF fine buildings have been blown
up. The fire is lighting up the heavens
and spreading terror to the hearts OF the
inhabitants. Several men, while in a
burning house, engaged in removing
90 oda, were instantly killed by the fall
ing of the walls; they were observed by
the firemen, but not in time to cave
their lives. The loss by the second fire
will be very great, and if not soon
checked the whole city will be de
stroyed. The total loss thus far is not
less than S3O0OO0,00O.
"a. M-At this hour the second
fire is still burning, but the authori-
ties are still in hopes OF being able to
check itbefore daylight.
Several large blocks have. been blown
up, and the desolation is heartreuding
Magnificent blocks, costing hundreds
OF thousands OF dollars, are blown to
atoms, with their owners looking o.
with countenances evinciug mute de-
spair.
Should fresh fire now break out
there will be little hopes ofsaving the
city, though hopes are entertained that
the eff ,rts Of the authorities will be
successful in checking the progress OF
the fire and keepingit within its present
limits.

The Election.


From the latest tables made up show
ing the result OF the late election in all
the States, it is now stated that Gram
has carried thirty-one StateI, receiving
a popular majority OF TAI 673, the elec
toral vote numbering 3O4. Greeley
carries five STATES.
The Herald this morning reviews the
late election at considerable length;
and considers she victory justly won by
the Republican party under the leader
ship OF Grant As the most brilliant tri
umph on record. No President has
ever entered office with more promls'
ing opportunities for brilliant career
than will Grant on the 4th OF March.
His friends will have possession OF the
local government in nearly every i'm
portant city all over the country. Grant
will enter upon his new term Of office
with no Wing, Democratic or Repub'
lican partv 10 existence, 80 far at least
as conflicting principles are concerned
The Herald enumerates the unpariI-
leled advantages offered to Grant, and
urges him to avail himself O them iD
order to advance the prosperity o. the
country. 1t also advocates the recon.
struction OF the cabinet complete.
The Boston C"nHagrniion-AF FInan-
ciaI Disaster Probable.
New YORK, November l0.-To. day
was a sad one in this city when the
news spread Of the terrible disaster to
the city Of Boston. In the insurance
offices clerks were busy all night and
to-day. All the companies lose heavily
but cannot give figures.
A meeting Of brokers was he'd to-
night 10 discuss the situation. gen
eral decline in stocks is certain and
many settlements are made to>uIght on
q basis Of ten per cent below the prices
oil Saturday.
Secretary Boutwell, telegraphed to
this city that he would do all 10 his
power TO relieve the finance embsrrass-
ment and keep speculators from taking
undue advantage of the situation. ln
churches, hotel lobbies and horse cars
the general topic was the great Boston
disaster, and q feeling OF sympathy
pervades all classes to aid the suffer
ers. The widest rumors regarding the
fire are circulated and receive a ready
credence.
The telegraph companies are crowded
with kilograms to aud from the burn
ing CITY, and there is few OF a finan
cial character similar to BLACK Fri
day.

IN A PREDICAMENT

Whirlwinds are as dangerous to those
that raise them as they are to those against
whom they are directed. This fact is
making its way into the head of the off
cial organ Of the revolutionary commit
tee. 1t is afraid that dangerous senti-
ments and bloody threats will be made at
the meeting tonight, and its constant
effort at present is to prevent these
" outward expressions Of the inward
thought" If the parties who are en-
gineering the reform movement are as
law-abiding and peaceful as they pretend
TO be, why all this solcitude to keep THEN
mouths shut? If the citizens are to be
counseled with, why are they to be
muZzled: II their voice is to be heard
Why is it silenced in advance? The
truth is the committee has raised the
devil and it does not know how to handle
him. The crowd is anxious to commit
violence in order to carry its point, and
the committee is afraid that its voice and
leadership viii be taken away by bolder
and more desperate partisans. We ca1,-
toned it in this respect, but, like Mac
beth, It can not 60 back ana it does not
want TO 90 ahead.

GETTING SCARED.

The Pjcayne Of last evening, after
playing the part O: delnagogue for some
time past with all lis might and main, is
evidently getting scared. Hear it:
1t is hoped that the Committee of Fifty
one will SO arrange their programme as not
to permit rash and imprudent speeches to
be made at the mass meeting in front Of the
City Hall tomorrow evening. Let
us have no threats-no speeches which
point to lawlessness and bloodshed.
So, neighbor, you are fearful you have
invoked spirits which YOU can not control.
Well, better late than never. It would
have been better if YOU had never appealed
to the passions Of a mob. Depend upon
It. business will never thrive nor nn there
be any reasonable hope Of reform of any
grievances by any means but those Of
cool, calm judgment. Nobs can not
legislate, nor are they the sources from
which we can hope for wisdom.

TO THE REPUBLICAN WARD CLUBS.

1t will be seen by the proceedings OF
the Parish Executive Committee OF the
Republican party that the ward clubs are
advised to refrain from attending the
meeting tonight. While the people were
under the impression that it was to be a
mass meeting of all the citizens, they
naturally felt an interest in it, and de-
signed to attend. But yesterday develop
ments tore off the rather thin mask and
exposed it. 1t is to be nothing more nor
less than a consultation of the rich white
men, at which no poor white men and no
colored men of any sort need apply. And
such is to be called movement Of the
people A mass meeting, which the
masses of the people are told they will be
considered as intruders if they attend it

times" when the people were habitually

TIE MASKED MEETING,

In one column Of the Picdytne appeared,
yesterday, an authoritative call for a
''mass meeting Of the citizens of New Or
leans, signed by the parties that pretend
to run that newspaper as an "ofiicial
journal" This gave us great satisfaction
as it manifested disposition to counsel
with all the people without regard to race,
color or previous condition and hun
dreds, yes, thousands of our friends pre-
pared themselves to respond to the invita-
ton. As formal texts, however, are gen.
orally annotated with explanatory re-
marks, We naturally concluded that this
one would be accompanied by an adjunct
of this description, giving in rounder
and fuller terms the quality Of this love
feast to which all the poll teal congrega-
ton Of New Orleans was thus invited.
We can not say that our expectations were
disappointed in this particular, but sad
to relate, it must lie written down that
our feelings were dreadfully lacerated by
the difference which startled our ewes as
they glanced from the text to the dis
course that assumed to explain it. Per-
haps this difference can be demonstrated
to the best advantage by allowing the
cali and the ''connl ent," to indulge IN
a playful population in this connection, 70

PLENTY OF PEOPLE, BUT FEW CITIZENS

Light dawns upon dark subject We
have too long CROPPED in ignorance as to
who are and who are not "citizens' of New
Orleans In our simplicity, we had sup
posed that city with a population of two
hundred thousand people could boast of
respectable number of citizens. The
Picayae has cruelty undeceived us. We
find that none are entitled to the distinc-
ton except few hundred eminently re-
spectacle gentlemen, including the $50
editors Of the Pjcay,ne, and the selfap-
pointed Legislature, otherwise known as
the Committee of Fifty-one. The claim is
proved by ruling everybody else out We
want to become citizen. Our ambition
pricks US on. We must achieve that dig
nifty, even if we have to rent peanut
stand, and become a merchant at once.

OUT OF TIME ENTIRELY.

A mass meeting of the citizens Of New
Orleans is called for this evening in front
OF the City Hall. Accompanying the call
is an intimation that the Radicals are not
expected to attend, as they will be out Of
place in meeting of the citizens. The
parties who originated this call may be
strictly and confdentially classified as men
who have arrived day CT two after the
feast. Mardi Gras does not occur but
once during the year, and last Tuesday,
if memory serves us right, was the day
set apart for its observance in seventy-two

which follows the inordinate use of some
poisonous drug? Is it suitable to in
huence the action of legislative assem-
bly,, unless. indeed, the inmates of an in
sane asylum should resolve themselves
into Legislature ? Is it possible that
the respectable gentlemen who call them
selves the Committee Of Fifty-one, and
who claim to represent a portion Of their
fellow citizens, can be satisfied with this
method Of promoting the reforms they
advocate? If argument fails, do they ex-
pect to succeed by howlings?
The madness of the P:cay,me, however,
like that of Hamlet, is not without method.
Its infamed Imagination may, indeed,
have seen 'rhe pale and careworn widow
and the hungry eyes Of the sorrowing
children OF one who died vainly strug-
Cling, but it was not for himself. nor his
wife, nor his children; it was to overthrow
the government of his country, that his
rich neighbor might not be deprived Of
human chattels. For this thousands of
widows, made such 10y the late war, still
struggle in poverty; thousands Of orphans
have grown up without the protection of
father, and destitute of the education he
might have given them. 1t was not the
doings Of this Legislature, however,
that has brought widowhood and
orphanage upon so many Of our
women and children Il was the
act of a far prouder and more arrogant
body; one composed wholly of the Cat,-
cassian race and the ruling caste. Oh,
PIC, wake up! That vision of grief
stricken widows and hungry orphans, of
cooling anacondas and loathsome mon
strosities, is retrlbutive horror, sent by
conscience to call you to repentance
Quit the use Of the Chinese drug open
your eyes to the present and, if you are
in earnest about legislative reform, talk
soberly. The rawlings Of mailman can
produce no effect except to call attention
to his madness.

If the Committee of Fifty-one desires to
give evidence of its good faith toward the
Republicans, let it admit to its secret
eounsels respectable delegation of Re-
publicans, without regard to race or color.
Its present attitude is not only one Of a
strictly partisan character, but it is also
one of accepted opposition to the colored
people as race. 1t neither accepts their
presence nor asks advice from them. Has
it designs that it fears to have disclosed

THE COMMITTEE AGAINST THE PEOPLE.

THE COMMITTEE AGAINST THE PEOPLE.
The attempt Of a self-constituted local
tribunal to substitute its will for that of
the people of the State of Louisiana should
be met at once by the Legislature as
dangerous and selfish invasion of the prin-
ciple of republican government. The
Committee Of Fifty-one, in the first place,
totally ignores one-haf of the population
10y excluding colcred people from any lot
or counsel in its organization or delibera-
tons. This is sufficient to show that it
rejects their interests from its considera-
ton. If it can not accept of colored men
on the cOmmittee-if it refuses to advise
with negroes as to the policy of its meas
ures-what are We to presume but that it
either has purposes against them, or that
it djstrusts their honesty or ability to sug-
gest or act upon e matter that concerns
them as much as it concerns the white
of the committee? The attention
of the members of the Legislature, and
of the Republicans, is called to
this singular omission of one-half the
people in movement that arrogantlv pre-
tends to be movement of the people
