Samuel Weldon, of MoLean County, has docidedly refused to atand for Congress on * the Independent ticket. Mr, McNulta ought to be devout and thankful to tho divinity which ehapos his cad, While ho ia about it, he would do woll to make & petition for aid and comfort against the next beat man on the Independont slde. A bltter truth was very well expressed in the Underwriters’ moeting yestorday, by a gentioman whosaid: * Tho firo oflast Tucsday has done us infinitely more injury than that of 1871, Then we had tho sympathy of the whole world, which now we have lost.” Theso aro good words, and epoken in seagon, Wo may as well understand that the vordiot of tho country on our smazing folly is evere, and all the more so because it is Juat, Gen. Bheridan has asked permission of the War Department to use a regiment in active opera~ tions against tho Indians, He snys that an of- fonsive campaign 18 moro offective and more eco- nomical than & dofensive one. For brond and comprehensive goneralizations commend us to this logician. Experienco has not demonstrated snysuch conclusion a8 that of Gen. Bheridan; it is olearly @ priori. The proposed campaign can be justified on much bettor grounds it onco it ia proved that any eonsiderablo body of In- disns havo committed themselves toanopon war. Denner isnot without Lia friends, after all. Mr. Ayors, who roprosonts the Underwriters on the Board of Police, saya that Lis confroros aro much moroe to blame than the Chief for the in- eflioloncy of tio Dopartment. Mr. Sheridan will not Mko that. He will be likely to say that tho truth should not bo spoken at all times. The faot {9, and everybody knows it, that the Polico Board is a cumbersome and expensive political machine, and doos much more barm in a month than it has accomplished good during all its ox~ iatonce, . Mr. A. 0, Hosing hae signed the call for a public mecting, to bo hold in McCormick Hall this evening, **to consider what menguresshould be takon to protect the city from tho dangor, which the firo of Tuesday last proves to oxist, of = repetition of the calamity of Oct.9, 1871." A atraight-out spooch from that gontloman in favor of making the fire ond city limits co-ox- tensivo would be & very graceful and accoptablo compensation—since it is all that lies in his power—for his action in the Councll Chamber o) a cartain memorable oceasion. 4 Once upon a time thore was an old gentleman named Twoed, and ho lived in a big houso, and he mado Jota of money dishonestly, and ho cor- rupted tho Administration of a great city, and Lo firet taught the Amorican people to ndmire succeesful koavery, and he wns found out at last, and he was sent to prison for all hia wick- endess, and served him right. That ia all the story, There is no moro moral to it than we havo givon. This being true, the poople and the pross can woll afford to do without further bul- lotina in rogard to Mr, Twoed's prison-lite. His . story is told, Somebody bune called attentlon to the fact, “which quite escaped us in the firs oxcltement of tho past fow days, that aleave of absonco for threo months has been given to Marshall Ji ewell, the new Postmastor-Goneral, Now tho osten- #ille readon of Mr, Hale's declination ‘was, that his hoaith would not pormit him to bogin worlk immodiatoly. He wanted respite of threo monthe, Hore ia suspicion roleomng his broth- ex’a oup. Was tho bargaining botweon the Proal- dont and Mr. Hale about so simple & matter ag 8 vacation? That i what the political Panl Prys would liko to know. ———— A men who attompted to wrook a Ppassengor- traln in Minnosota has boon caught and now lica in jail ot 8%, Paul. It is n very sontimontal thing, no doubt, for one to be in jall on such acnargo, We ehall axpect to hear that all tho strong-minded women and long-bafrod men in Bt.

Now let us soo whother they menn what thoy say, ovory word of it. ——————— The College Rogatta haa hoen again post- ponod. It will nlmost cortainly tako place to- day, a8 neither tho crows nor their frionds aro propared to stay in Baratogn ovor Sunday. Thero will be a prodigious scandal it tho truth should prove to be that tho hotot-keopors pro- oured ono or both of the postponemonts by tha workings of secrot Influences woll under thoir control. Ttis onsy to understand how tho vor- dant colloge youth would fall an easy proy to the scheminge of thoso hoary old sinners, The fact seems to bo that b o'clock, which was tho hour named for yostorday's racoe, was unfortunstoly lnto, At2o'clock tho water was smooth, and thore woe nothing to interfore with a good courss. It is hard to think of a crowd of colle- gians o guilcloss and onsily played upop, yot tho ovont was accurately predicted early in the doy by gentlomen who are accustomed to tho metoorological conditions of the placo, THE MEETING TO-NIGHT. ‘Wo trust there will bo s general turn-ont to- night at the meoeting in McCormick’s Hall. When thoro is such unanimity of foeling among all portions of the gommunity, there should bo din unmistakable expression of the public demands. True, this moeting can only petition for romedies. It cannot legislate, nor can it exccuto tho law, It will, thoreforo, confine ite expros- sions to » declavation of what law should be, and to o demand for tho vigorous onforcomout of existing laws. It can recommend only, but to that recommendation can bo givon tho strength of acommand whon it i backed by the voico of all classes of the community. Thero aro o fow things to be done, and dono at once : 1. Tho illogal buildings erected in the fire- limits, 88 the law stood in 1871, must bo torn down, not moved away to bocomo firo-traps and nuigances in other places. 2. All wooden buildings erectod within tho now fire-limity sinco the date of the ordiuance of February, 1872, should in like manner be con- deaned ond abated. 8. Tho fire-limits should be mado coterminous with the city-limite 4. Morns must be dovised to cut off the costly and valuable part of the city from tho fire- trapa. 2-\ 5. Tho practico of moving wooden buildings from one locality and roplanting thom in another shonld bo stopped. 0, A roform of the system on which our Fira Departmont is organized must be instituted forthwith, The first and socond of these measures ro- quire no legislation. All they demand Is tho en- forcement of the Iaw by tho executivo officera of tho city. The others depend upen legislative actfon, o trust that this appeal for protection and eafoty will go up to the Council in such terms, and backed by such unanimity, that that body will not only respect it, but will take such immodinte action as will give aesuranco to tho pooplo of the country that Chieago i not a moro wood-pile, subject to ba destroyed at any mo- ment, ‘Iho nunouncement that the Common Council on Monday night, ita first session after the firo, bad passed by an unanimous voto an ordinance oxtending the firo-limits to the outormost boundaries of the city, would do moro to re- establish the financial chiaractor of the clty, now seriously shuken, than auy other act of loglsla- tion it could perform in half a contury. Will the Common Council do it? The meoting to- night will esk for such an ordinance, snd the Common Council must bo callous indoed if it put publio opiuion at defianco and refuse to grant the long-noeded measure of safoly. Let tho meeting to-night be an emphatio one, Lot evory man who has s dollar at stake go there, aud give foroe by his prosenco and his voleo to the great popular demand upon tho City Government. This is tho timo for action. We have waited for tho goda to Liolp us long enough, and it ia now time for ua to holp oursclves. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AGAIN. The question who shall control the Fire Do- partment was widcly discussed yosterdny, The suggestion that its munagement and loadorelip should be committed to the insurance companies mot tho approbation of most of our substantial citizens. Such & polioy would place 1t beyond all thoso influcnces by which political bummors manago to securs pasitions upon it Tlio nocos- ity for this was abundantly illustrated by the oxperience of last Tucsday's firo, While a mujor- ity of tho Dopartmont worked admirably nud are worthy of ell praise, nevertueloss, in almost overy squad there wors found somo who not only shirked duty, but absolutely rotused at timos to oboy thoir superiors, An instanco was mantioned where stronms wore uttorly wastod, failing to ronch the fire through the criminal negloct and discbedience of the pipo-men. ‘Thoy knew that punlshment for thom is litorally “lamo of foot"; that no ono likes to profor chargep, and, when thoy do, thoy can almost always aecuro sufllelons “influenco” to cBoLpO dismiseal, With such an orgamzation eficioncy cabnot be expeoted, sud, until somo ono has power to mako short work with disobodienco or inofticlonoy, great fires will bo tho ponalty which our city will suiter for tho want of it. The Insurance companios aro not embarrasyed by politics. ‘They could have but ono objuot in view, viz,, to put out tho fires in tho slortest timo posaibld, With them it would bio wmoroly & Question of hord cash, 3¢ thoy found thoir Mar- shal, or suy one undor him, ignoraut or inofii- clont, thoy would dlmmies blm at once.

It moy bo sald that by this arrangemont tho De- partmont would oxort sl its energios to savo buildings that aro insured, and leave othors to thoir fato, Dut the vory necossitios of the caso would prevont this, for tho way to mave the largest loss {6 to put out the fire a8 soon as pos- sible. We seo, thorefore, vory little to bo urgod agalnat, and very cogent roasons in favor of, traneforring tho entiro control of the Firo De- partment to tho insurance mon. Lot tho ex- verimont bo tried. POLITICS AND FIRES, The manngomont of our Firo Depariment must bo taken out of the domain of politics en- tiraly. Wo must no longer decide our fire polioy by counting noses. Thoso who have property to lose foel directly intorested in tho offoloncy of our Fire Dopartmont; and thore are tona of thousands in this city who have nothing to loso if half tho alty were roduced to ashos, Thers aro thousands who will look upon Tuesday's firo a5 » blessing, sinoo it will areato a domand for labor, and o domand for labor to them means employment and, porhaps, higher wagos, Teamsters do not objact to such & dis- nster on tho ground that thoy losa by it. Thoy, in faot, gain by it. Thoy reap a rich harvest during tho firo earrylng goods to & place of safoty, and afterwards in oarrying thom back, Thoy aro in domand after the firo to clear away the rubbish, And what wo have sald of the teamstors may bo sald of others, Not that there are not many of thia class of the community who sinceroly regret ouch disasters as we have oxporionced. We aro sure thoro arc. But, then, thers aro onough who do nmot. And it tho Council Is going to con- sider tho probable offect on this class of taking tho Firo Dopartment out of the hands of the politicians, and out of politics entirely, we fonr that littlo will bo dono in the way of roform. 1t is a sad commentary on our form of govern- mont that whonover wo want any department of our governmont, whother Municipal, State, or National, to bo properly conducted, the first recommondation made is to take it cut of poli- tics, 4. e, beyond the sphere of universal suffrage,—which is slmost a confession that, pro tanto, such government is a failuro. THE COST OF WOODEN BUILDINGS, The sverago cost of frame buildings may bo thus summod up in the results of four rocent fires: Firat costof Value of Date, _Place. woaden Uldings, prop'y loat, 00 July 11, Bireator, T July 4, Chicago, 160,000 4,000,000 July 14, Oehikosli, Win. 100,00 800,000 July 14, Towa Fully, Ia..000000 80,000 130,600 $550,000 $5,080,000 Hero wo have an original expenditure of $350M0 to build woodon houses; into these wooden houses there wera put furnituro, goods, snd machinery; theso wooden houses wero placed in localitios whero, in case they took fire, thoy would destroy othor and more valuable buildiogs, also filled with fumituro, ma- chinory, and merchanciss, Tho result is that over 5,000,000 of property was destroyed from the crimiral and falso economy of building inflammable fire-trape instond of brick houses, Placing tha differance in the coat of these wooden buildingi, and the brick ones ab 20 per cont, tho swn saveyl was $70,000, and to economizo this sum—not equal {o throo months' insuranco rates on the property destroyed— there was wantonly and eriminally sacrificed ovor £5,000,000 worth of properly. In 1871, the sno- rifice in this city alono was $200,000,000, when ©3,000,000 would have bought and paid for tak- ing down every wooden bwilding destroyed in that fire, Thia 18 the penalty wo bave paid, and ‘which we must continue to pay, as long as wo preparo the fuel for theso fraquont conflagra- tions, E GREAT FIRES, The frequoncy of great firos in great citios ia a startling phenomonon in our modern civiliza- tion, Thera is every renson, t0o, to bolievo that great fires will, in tho future, be more frequent than they wero in the past, unless wo introduce and adhore to cortain modes and rules of build- ing, the ncceeeity of which was not folt by our ‘prodecessors. The great London fire stood for genorations an isclated fact in history. The Ohicago fire of 1871 colipsed tho great London firo completely, and then the groat Boston fire camo, to show the world that all foolishness in building is not conflned to the headlong West. When the next great firo shall happen, or where, wo do not know, but the chanceaare that nosuch time will clapss betweon it and tha last that did ‘betweon the great London and the great Olica- go firos, In tho first placo, thore are moro largo citios in the world now than thero wera at the time of the groat London fire, This is one ronson why conflagrations on a grand scalo may be oxpocted to be moro froquent henoeforth, A great fire Bupposes & great city, and just in pro- portion as groat citios are multiplied aro tho chances of great conflagrations ineroased. Thero aro now in tho world at least 100 largo oities whoro there was only ono at thé time of tho London catastrophe. From this causo alone the chances of disnstor ave incresscd at loast a hundrod-fold. In the next placo, the ohances of such drendfal calamities are made grester by the vost Increase of the number of combustibls materlals, and by the moro fro- quent uso of firo, Our grandfathers kuow nothing of gas, of korosono, ota., nor did thoy havo & stoam-ongine atevery corner, Lastly, our stylo of building invitos groat fires. In tha olden timo, men built more solidly than wo do. ‘Tho great London firo raged for & week or so, and then consumod bulldings covering o aroa vory much smallor than that consumed by tho Clucago flre, Tho rosson is that tho London fire ad & very difforont clnse of constructions to doal with, It thus appenrs that oconsional great disnatbra are tho ponulty we have to pay for our material development. The romedy is to bo found mainly inthe charactor of the architooture permitted in large citics. EVERY MAN HI5 OWN FIREMAN, The City Government has recolved o vaat amouat of snge advico during tho lnst fow days, It may prove Idle, howover, to oxpeot the in- efficiont set of ward-politioinns to do anythlng for tho cily's salvation agaiust future dostruc tiou, Thoey muy refuse to band over the Fire Dopartment to the Undorwriters, Locuusue thoy would thou bo ehorn of 4 great part of their patrousgo, and wight therotore be benten noxt year, They may rofuse to mako the fire-limits oo-sxtensive with the olty-limits, beosuse the 187 Aldormon of tho outlying wards would thon loss their ro-oloction, They will mnot take mensares to woouro tho condomnation of & park running around tho busincas part of tho oity and bringing with ft hoalth and safoty, beoauso this would cost monoy, ralse taxes, and ondanger thelr ro-cleotlon, and be- caugo this would bo somothing grent to do, and thoy aro incapablo of concolving or excouting snything boyond a trifle. When their own Aldormanio seats aro to bo saved, they can worlk like beavors, When a oltyls to bo saved, thoy fold thoir hands in helpless imbecllity,. Wo must guard ourselvos, Tho slmplost and surcst mothod of doing this is to put hydrants on overy floor of every Inrgo building, When thore “ia due potico of tho approrch of a flro and plenty of wator, mafoty is almost suro. A Dlondful of " men, with & fow pails of wator, eaved tho residonce of Mr. F. G. Hall, on the cornor of Wabash avenue snd Peck court, for hours, 1t was in tho steaight path of the fire, and its woodon roof and high wooden cupola mado it & tompting prey. Finoily, when wator conld not bo got in suficient quantities, it caught firo and was dostroyed. If tho Hough building, tbo Post-Offics, the O'Noill and tho Mandel buildings Lad been provided with hy- drants on overy floor, tho flames might havo beon stayod at Hurrison stroot, With dronchod roofs ond walls, and with sironma of water roady to be tarnod upon overy spark us it fell, thoso four buildings would have boon substantinlly firo-proof. Tho cost of putting bydranta into them would have been but a triflo in comparison with tho loss on them last Tucsday. This isn romady which is within the reach of overy prop- arty-ownor. It dopondsupon himself, and mot upon & cumbrous and inefficlont body of men. Tho robato in his insarance would probably pay o fair rate of intorest on tho investment from the start. In the event of a fire, tho whole cost would bo ropaid many times over. e CRIMI; Alleged Xlcavy Defaleation. Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago L'ribune, New Youg, July 17.—Another alloged heavy defaleation was aunoanced to-dny, and was tho principal subjoct of conversation in circlos whoro known.

Tho Lreasurer of the Board of Dircct- ors has boen to Panama to mako a porsonsl investigation into tho condition of affuirs, and tho result is & vt;{,y lgunorfll chango of the prin- cipal ofiicials, hilo there he heard of certain oporations of Robinson which, in tlo opinion of tlio Board, justifiod s chargo' of misapproprin- tion, and & suit for tho emount clumed was ordorea to be bogan. From the ofiicials’ state- ments, it appoars that, on an examina- tion of the day-book and ledger, kopt by Robiuson, s doficit of £112,000 was discovered, ho having roceived that amount over what he had accounted for.

Roported Attempt ut Assassination, Spectal Disnateh to The Chicago T'ribune, New Yory, July 17.—An attempt was mado s weok ago to-day to sssassinate the Rov. Dr. D. Houry Miller, vestor of Plymouth Baptist Church, on Fifty-first straet. To provent excite~ mout in tho church, aud to holp tho detoctives, the Trusteoa have witbhold it from tbo public until the present. Dr, Miller has long beon s firm advocate of reading the Bible in the public schools, and Lias spoken his views without bos- itation fu all places. Dy his porsistent advocacy of tho policy, ho Lias incurred the hatrod of the Toman Catholics, and soon aftor preaching & sermon recontly on the subject, be roceived o noto, signad * G, T.,"” atating that the subject was obnoxious to many, aud that if ho continued to harp on it serious resuits to bim would follow.

On Friday afternoon of last week Lo stopped out a few minutes on some errand, and while ho was absent two ballets wore fired through tho stained-glass window, ono of which etruck his desk and the other & book-caso. Had he been in his ac- customed place he would Lave beon shot througl tho head. The bullets must Lnve come from gome houRe on Fify-second street, and were doubtless fired by some zealous Catholio of Jimited understanding, who blindly reasoned that this was the quickest'sud boat way of stop- piog Dr. Millor's lorotical utterances, Though dotactives havo been assiduously at work for a waok, thoy have made no arrost. The Cuse of Mollie Holbroolk. New Your, July 17.—In the caso of Moliie Holbrook, who was roarrested in this cily on Weduosday night, an spplication was to-day wado to Judge Liawrence, in the Buprome Court Chowbers, for her roloease on & writ of habeas corpus, Tho Assistant District Attornoy ad- 1uitted that sho was hold simply on a telégram from the Chicago Chief of Polico, but asked for time to procuro an nflidayit for her doiention under the statutes permitting puch detention un- till tho Qovernor of tho State demanding her could bo commuvicated with., The nacessary timo was given, and thon ax application for the writ of hapons corpus was withdrawn and the woman was hold to await the arrival of en ofticer from Chicago.

Whatover it was, it brought & protest from Mr. Tilton. Air, Becchor bocame coavinoed that 1118 GOKDUOT WAS UNWARRANTADLE, and honee wrotg tho lottor in which he humbled himsolf so completoly beforo the man whom ho bad wronged, Whon this etatoment was com- ploted, ho handed it to somo friends, with tho romarlk that it was & papor ho Intonded to lay be- foro the Investigating Committeo, His friends raad it, and advieed him not to submit it, bo- onuso “Lilton's atatoment wonld knook it to piocos.

TALK OF NOT GUMMONING TILTON. Itis alwo undorstood that the Committos aro dobating whother Mr, Tilton shall bo summoned before the Committeo atall oruot, and that thero is a varinuce of opinion. Mr, Tilton has romised Lo go before them noxs Monday evon- ng, oud is carefully prclpnrlnk u history of tho o180 in minuto detail, It will bo rondy in timo, if the Committoe waot it. . It is understood that, when tho true story is made known, two ladios besides Mrs. Tilton will be involved, It isn't at all likoly that the Investigating Committee now kuows a bit more about what it was cx&muud to lonrn than when the first sossion was hold, An evoning peper of yostorday published what purported to be an intorview by one of its roportera with Mr, Tilton, in which Mr. Tilton donied having told tho roprosentative of anothor evening paper that his statemont would * put an eud to Mr. Boccher's ministry; show him to bavo boen gullbf' of a dogreo of criminalty which tho world littlo suspects, aud to have at- tomptod to shicld himeelf by puttg forth anothor man's brenst as the armor which wus to recoiva the blow.” The roporter who quoted Mr. Tilton as above, publishes an afiidavit to- day to its porfect truthfulness, o THE CELENRATED LETLER IN MOULTON'S JTANDS, 1t bas becn assorted that Mr. Moulton has not tho cntiro Pcuuaulon, a4 he claims to hiave, of tho original lotter of Mr. Beccher, in which he bumbles himsolf bofora Mr. Tilton, aud, indeod, that thora was no such paperin existence, Your correnpondent wns told by Mr. Tilton Limeolf, to-day, that Moulton had the lotter. Mr. Tilton declatos that thore will mot Do a doubt in the mind of one rendor in ten thousaud of Boechor's guilt, after roading his (Tilton's) statomont. Re- forring to the remarks 1o the public press that he loved notoriely, Mr. Tilton said, * Nothing can be moro untrue of me than that Iam fond of publie life,” . (7o the Associated Press.) DERCHER'S FORTIICOMING BTATEMENT, New Yonk July 17.—The Brooklyn Eagle saya: *3Mr., DBoeoher's statoment, al- though not yot oflclally bofore the Com- mitteo, i3 in tho hands of his frlends, and will bo submitted as soou ns Tilton's is put in. Gontlomen who bave scon it sponk of it as o frauk, straightforward, manly documont. LBoechor addrossos lumself in dotall to tho Til- ton caeo; oxplaing thouature of his trouble with Tilton ; denies that ho ever made au im- puto intimation to Mrs, Tilton, and concludes with an absolute and unequivocal denial of all other slanders which have been sot in motion ogningt him. Ho acknowledges that Mre, Tilton complained to him of lor husband ; that she spoke of his infidelity, aud cited instances ; spokeof his goivg with strange women, and proved that hor statemont was truo, and finally begged him (Boechor) to advise hor, a3 & man and minister, what to do. Boooher, after long doliboration and considorable hosi- tancy, advised bor, if sho folt sho could not ro- claim hor husband, to loave him, After a tine Beochier folt that ho hnd mado & mistake in giv- ing this advice. Ho thought that, perhaps, if Toft to the Imptilaca of his own gonerous natura, Tilton would Linve abandoned the strange womon aftor whom ho hLad boen rauming,: and rofurn to tho peaco of his' own household. In this condition of mind ho apologized to Lilton for what he lad dono; promised to extend to him the right hand of foltowship in tho future, and to bury tho past uttorly. TILTON'S FORTIICOMING STATEMEKT will, It fs said, disappoint the public greatiy. The wupposition has been that i would “undor- take to prove that Boocher had dons him grave pommmr fnjury: that ho would specify that wrong, and adducs ovidenoe of {ts reality, Now it is undorstood he has resolved to remain rolicont in rogard to his own family, but will go Into tho general scandal, In other words, he will attumnt to show that Boecher outraged mot the TiHon, but somo other houschold. Ho reasous in this way: ‘*ly proposition is that Beecher is not a fit "'mon to occupy o Christian pulpit.
