We ho¥o alrendy called sttention to the wholly unprecedonted business dono by all the railronds in their fraights to and from Chicago sinco tho 18t of July. No such amount of traflic was over dono by means of railways in “any American city in tho samo time in any yoar. For sevoral days tho rocoipts excoeded 2,500 cars a day, with o corresponding business in tho way of return froights, Tho ganeral business of tho city this scason has oxhibited on incroaso that would be romark- abloin auy othor city than Chicago. Nothing that hoappens here is considered oxtraor- dinary, becamso the ‘world is always oxpocting something unusual of Chicago. The general business of 1872 was groater in volume than ‘had ever been previously done in this city. This was attributed, and perbaps justly, to tho peouliar circumstances of that year, when tho city had au immigration of 20,- 000 workmen, with their familios, But tho in~ cronso of population of 1872 has become pormas nent, and that of 1873 is probably still groator. ‘Wa have incronsed, since the fire, tho variety of our manufacturiog industrics, aud added largely to the number of those engagoed in each. Wo purchase now s vast'increaso of raw material, and sl the same in its manufactured condition. Wo buy and soll moro dry goods, boots snd shoos, clotha snd olothing, gro- cories and -hardware, crockery and glass, paints and olls, and iron and other motals of overy kind. The increaso of business is shown by the comparativo ptatemonts of the Olonring-House for several weeka and of the corrosponding weeks of 1872.

THE RIGHT T0 BOLT. During the recont sossion of tho Massachu- sotts Republican Convention, Gen. Butlor of- fered a resolution for the expulsion of Henry M. Groon, ono of the dologates, at thio samo timo prosenting an afiidavit from a Républican voter fo tho offect that hoLad heard Groon do- claro that he would not abide by tho action of the Convention if it nominated Butler. Upon this resolution the Iattor made a mpeoch, iu which he urged party fealty, and olsimod thatno member of & caucus or convention bad the right to bolt tho nomincos. At present it is un- ueceesnry to dwell upon tho inconsistency of such doctrine coming from o politician who haa beon everythiog by turns and nothing long, and who, undor the most favorable circum- stances, nevor coascs to bo a domagogue. The question deserves considoration upon gonoral grounds, irrespectivo of what Goen. Butler may think or not think, or of any impudent advico he may have to offer on tho subjoct. . Tho right to bolt [ ono of tho eafoguards of a freo governmont, and it sometimes is not only a right but becomoe a duty. Tho profonsed ob- jout of every nominatiug convention is to acloot tho bost mon for offico,—mon of lonesty, energy,’ sud capacity, who give guaran- teos that thoy will . administor tholr offices to tho best of their ability and for the bout interosts of tho people whom thoy gorve. Wheunover, thorefore, it becomes apparont that u convention has fullen into the hands of dangerous men, who have not this pur« poso in view; when It is morally cortain that thoeo men will plunder the public aud iutroduca vicious principles into public affairs ; or when thoro Is ovidenco to show that tho nominoes will fail 1o carry out tho principles whiol thoy pro- fess ; whon o oonvention is packed in advanco In the intorests of such o candidate; or, ag in tho case of tho Massachusotty Convention, if Mr. Butler had been nominated, boing n un- principled man, then it is both a right and & duty tobolt; and this the Washburn Republicaus would undoubtedly have doue if Butler bad been nominated, Evideuco of this fact s thut the Couvontion refused to adopt tho resolution, and tho Committen on Crodentials, to whom it was roforrad, mado no roport upon it. No convon- tion, or caucus, or cliquo of any description hna tho right to proscribo limitations or diotato courgo of nction to one of it membors. The dologata hos the enmo right to refuso to abido by tho action of the convontion or cancus, whero it Is improper, a3 a citizen at tho polls has to vote for whom ho plensos, and avory man is tho supreme Judyo for bimself {n a question of this kind, No political jury has tho 1ight to sit upon tho caso to decido it for him, and, if it does, tho docision hus no binding forco, The man who oboys such dictation, when he kuowa it i wrong, ia morally just ns guilty as though Lo had voted in convention for 8 man whom ho knew to bo a ecoundrel. This indiscriminato bondage to party, and this unquestioning obedience to tho dictates of conventions, whothor good or bad, havo boen, and always will Do, tho ruin of partics, The oxalting of party above princi- plo killod the Whig party and tho Domocratio, and hos {nvolved tho Ropublican in its presont domoralization. It has brod tho prosont polit- Ioal confusion and public danger. It has given rise to all tho corruptions, frauds, embezzlo- monts, and abuses of powoer which have charac- terlzod tho dominant party during tho post four years, for theso corrupt ‘mon dould not have beon elacted unloss menjhad compromigod their own souso of decency by cringing boforo this sonsoless and dengerous outory of fealty to party. It is for this roason that to-day the workingmen, tho farmors, th opponents of monopolies, snd honest men everywhoro, aro combining togethor againat the organized forcos of corruption and dishonesty, which aro“sttempting to malutaln’ thoir power nnd place by enforcing what thoy call party dis- cipline,—in other words, that tho pooplo must sustain party whother right or wrong, snd must support nominees whothor honost or dishonest. Thoro will nover be good governmont until the right to bolt tho nomination of o bad man, snd support a good one in his place, is unquestioned. PHILADELPHIA AB A FREE OITY, Tho City of, Philadelphis boing tho point from which the Deolaration of Independenco was pro- claimed, s with proprioty assumed to bb the sont of a giand centenninl colobration of thit avent, Sho has sont forth appeala to all parts ,of the country for material aid to onable her to mako the celobration worthy of the occasion and of tho nation. Tho country gonerally has not responded vory liborally as yet. Nearly all that- Las beon dono so far bag been done by Ponnsyl- vanis. ) Thero is o way in which Philadelphia can aronso national enthusiosm and oxcito thronghout the country an carnest and substantial-intorest in hor wolfare and in tho nationnl celebration. This can bo dono by o goneral “uprising of Lor poople to overthrow the corrupt and shameless Qospotism whioh ralos that city. It is no longor donied, ovon by tho mosat Intenso partisans, that tho City apd County of Philadelphis are the most dishoneatly-governod communitios within tho Union. "A Philadelphia olection is but a pro-. vorbinl namo for an acknowlodged fraud. Phil- adelphin juaticois hold in as littlo roputo, and, though there may bo & decent and an-lionost man left in some offico or another, tho general character of Philadelphia officials is such that no man thinks of an excoption, Lut trents tho wholo . Goyernment, in all its branches, from top to bottom, as utterly rotton aud dopraved, Of the dishonesty of the Govornmont, of tho shameless charactors who fill tho public officos, of the thioving and robbery and assassinations that are openly per- potrated ond pardoned, of the ropidly- acoumulating _public dobt, of tho terrible machinery by which the officials maintain their ascendancy, of tho froo use of the knife, plstol, and bludgeon upon those who dare to oppose thoring ; of all theso things thoro is noithor denial nor apology. Thore is not a rufian nomi- nated for offico by & convention sclected by his agsociatos who hes any fear that ho will not be declarod olected ; the machinery of a Philadel- phis election is such that it is sure to eloct the men who control it, without refereuco to their character or fitnees, or tho number of votes that moy bo polled for or against them. Thero is not an Intelligent citizon of Philadelphia who ia not aware of this condition of affairs. Though &ll this {a done in tho name of tho Republican party, the crime is not confiued to that party. No one party could carry it out succossfully. Tho groat bulk of the Democratic managers of wards and procinels aro subsidized by the othor party, oither in the way of direct pay, or by a distribution of plunder, or by & diviaion of offi- ces. Cortaln localitios in Philadelphia are ns- signed to the oxclusive pillago of Domocratio thieves, who In return give their votes to pore potuate,tho Republican thioves in thoir possos- slons; and, though a sham fight upon genoral politica: iz kept up, tho persons eleoted aro'al- ways thoso accoptabla to both tho Democratio and Ropublican scoundrels who follow politics for a living. 3 B Philadelphiane shonld remember that thoy have invited tho country and tho world to unito with thom in celebrating the contonnial auniversary of the estublishmaut of gelf-goveinmont by o froo people, aud that this colebratiou ia to bo held inacity where the theory of solf-governmont is an acknowlodged failure, and whore, if such o thing can over bo justifiable, the- neconsition of the case demand tho ostablishment of & tribu~ nel tg mool ouf summary punishment upon the public officars, ‘nud the' oxpulélon or hanging of o large pumbor of tho ssenssine, thisves, and Dballot-stuffors, by whoso offoris thosa mon have reiched and are-kopt in powor: In tho exbibition of tho'wondorful progross mado by e free peaple, thera.{s no portion of the oountry that ina any special desiro to have thio Government of Thiladolphis presonted 88 o, model.
