Wc have already called attention to tho wholly
unprecedented business dono by all the railroads
in their froightB to md from Chicago ainco tho
lst OF July. No such amount Of traffic was ever
dono by means Of railways in 'any American city
In the aamo tino in any year. For several days
tho receipts exceeded 1850 cars day, with q
corresponding business in tho way Of return
freights.
T1o general business Of tho city this season
has exhibited MI incroaso that would DO romark-
able in any other city than Chicago. Nothing
that happens hero is considered oxtraor-
dnary. because tho world ia always
| expecting something unusual Of Chicago.
The general business Of 1872 was greater in
volume than had ever been previously done in
this city. This was attributed, aud perhaps
Justly, to tho peculiar circumstances Of that
| year, when tho city lad au immigration Of co.
| 600 workmen, with their families. But tho in
crease Of population Of 1872 has become porrnn'
nent, and that Of 1873 is probably still greator.
We have increased, since tho fire, tho vnrioty Of
our manufacturing industries. aud added largely
to tue number Of those engaged in each. We
purchase now vast increase Of raw material,
and sell the samo in its manufactured condition.
We buy and soil moro dry goods. boots
and shoes, clothH snd clothing, gro
cerica and hardware, crockery and glass
! paints and oils, and iron and othor motalf
| of overy kind. Tho increase Of business il
shown by the comparative ~ptatomonts Of ths

During tho recent soaBion OF tho Massachu-
fcrod resolution for tho expulsion OF Henry
ii. Groom, ono Of tho delegates, at tho samo
tina presenting m afldavit from Republican
yoter to tho effect tint ho had heard Groon do
clare tint he would not abide by tho action Of
tho Convention II it nominated Butler. Upon
this resolution the latter made speech. III
which he urged party fcalty, aud claimed that no
member OF a CAUCUS or convention had tho
right to bolt tho nominees. At prosont it is un-
necessary to dwell upon tho Inconsistency
Of suoh doctrine coming from politician WHO
has been everything by turnH and nothing long,
and WHO, under the most favorable circunl-
stanceB, neyor ceaseB to be domagoguo. The
question deserves consideration upon general
grounds, irrespective of what Con. Butler may
think or not think, or Of any impudont advice
he may hayo to offer Oh the subject.
Tho right to bolt IL ono Of the safeguards Of
FREQ government, and 1t sometimes is not only
right bnt becomes duty. Tho profoaaed OBJ
joct Of eyory nominating convention Ia to seleot
tho bogt mon for olico,-men Of honesty,
energy, and capaoity, who givo guaran-
teos that they will administer thor
oftcos to tho best Of their ability
aud for the boHt interests Of tho people whom
they aorve. Whenever, therefore, 1t becomes
apparent that convention has fallen into the
hands Of dangerous men, who have not this pur-
poso In view when 1t ia morally certain that
thoHe men will plumber the public and Introduce
yicioua principles into public Affairs; or when
thoro Ia eyidenco to show that tho nominooa will
fail to carry out tho principles which thoy pro-
ftss when convention IL packed in advance
| In the interests Of such q candidate or, AZ
in tho case OF tho Massachusetts Convention,
II A1r. Butler had been nominntetl. boing IN un'
prucirled man, then it Is both right and duty
to bolt; and this tho Washburn Republicans
would undoubtedly have done II but!or had beou
nominated. Evidence Of tliH fact is TINT the
Convention refused to adopt tho resolution, and
