Union Convention, "for the promotion OF holiness In
life through Lord Jesus Christ" opened its sessions

given the Convention the use OF Its beautiful camp
grounds. The call for this Convention was signed by
prominent clergymen OF the Presbyterian, Baptist
Congre gatona, Protestant Episcopal Methodist Epis-
copa Friends denominations IN various States Of
the Union. Its object Is to promote true Christian
brotherhood among all sects OF Christians. No denom
ination OF Christians is excluded from It, The opening

may throw the State again into anarchy In MS
endeayor TO persuade the Committee of Con-
gress that he is necessary to save 1t from DIS
traction. r
There was no reason for sending Commit
tes to Arkansas, and we believe no good VIII
come of its Journey. Tho legality OF the ex-
listing Government in that State was estab-
lshed long ago by the only competent author
ity the machinery of administration was in
tolerable working order; and the people were
apparently about as well satisfied "a Arkansas
people usually are. At any rate, there was
no ground upon which the Federal authority
could be asked to interfere, except upon the
formal call of the Governor to AID In the sup
nression of violence. But the manner in
which the President hesitated between the
rival Governors, and the manner in which Con-
oress now assumes to review inOppOr-
timely his tardy decision could have
no other effect than to convince these
politicians of the rifle and the bowie
knife that their State Government, whether
counterfeit or genuine, depends for its sane
ton, in some vague way, upon the favor OF
the mowers at Washington. This is the lesson
which the Republican party has taught all
over the South. 1t is the lesson Of Louisiana,
Texas. Alabama. South Carolina-the lesson
of Kellogg. Casey, Durel, Spencer. and Moses.
II can only lead to mischief. The best thing
for Congress to do now is to let Arkansas
alone We have no doubt the Governor is
able to enforce the laws and if not, he knows
where TO look for assistance.

chicago CONCLUSIONS.

Headers who go through the vOluminous dis
patches from Chicago, which we print else
where this morning, will be apt to rise from
the perusal with three or four conclusions
pretty distinctly drawn.
/. No city is safe when surrounded with a
Gordon of wooden buildings, or with any
wooden buildings whatever in its denser parts.
Q. IL is preposterous to talk about fire. proof
buildings, constructed with iron columns sup
porting floors, or walls, with wooden beams,
with wooden lathing with any wood about
the roof, or without iron shutters. Prob
ably not one building in a hundred, even Of
tho best in the rebuilt Chicago, deserves to
be called fire proof; and those which the last
fire struck went down as promptly as if the
builders had never heard of previous one.
8. No great cOnhagration is going to be
subdued by fire department which follows
it instead of fighting it in front.
4. Chicago was rebuilt in advance of its
wants. Under ordinary circumstances, it
would have taken from five to ten years for
its business and population to grow up to
the new houses The last fire may to some
extent increase the demand for houses in the
rebuilt portion, and thus improve rents, and
highten the apparent prosperity of the better
part of the city.
s. The business of the country has stood so
many hard knocks of late, that it takes far
more than such Chicago fire as this last to
make much of a panic, either in Chicago, in
New York, or anywhere else.
