B The Rov. Thomas K. Becchor's cortificate to tho uprightness of iy distinguished Drother's Jifo revenls & curious want of sympathy bo- twoen the tvomen.

Auy- body might say as much. The es- trangomont of the brolhors mey possibly ‘hovo taken its riso from their opposite views in xeapoct to tho eanctity of the marriage rolation,” Thomas K. writes 1n tho lotter quoted by Mr. Tilton: * Alrs, Woodhull cnly corrlos out Hen- ry's philosophy, againat’ which 1 recorded my protest twonty years ago.” The timo sinco tho protest was recordod caincides with that of the eutrangoment. . e *The 8t.

Tho Bt.

Tho second aunual Exposition in Chicago will ‘ogin during this wook, undar tho 'most prom- jslug ouepicos. Lest yeag it woa ovartaken by tho panio in its first hours. Then, too, it was ombarrassod by o now building, somo parta of which had been hurriedly constructed, snd othors wero actuslly incomplete, sud.much of tho machinery uniried. Now, all these thinga avo boen adjnsted, and the building itselt has Doen increased in copacity pearly, if et quite, one-third. Evorything portainmg to tho build- ing hos been put in admirable running-order. Although this s but the sscond year of thia Exe position, the collection and display will s0 far excead anything of tho kind over gotvp in tho Wast that thore will bo no room for comparison. It will bo tho largest and cholest col- loction of overythiug In tho way of art, mooufactaros, and agrioultural ‘product that has over been gatbered in ono building ab tho samo timo m any part of tho country. In tho art-gallory alono has boen chllectod a num- bor of pietares of such raro beauty snd such Snished oxcention 88 would render their os- hibition, oven if thore woro nothing olse in the buildivg, an oxtraordinary ovont aud of sufficiont attractiveness to draw people from all parts of thae country. Thero are over C00 pietures by the most eminout painters of tha American, English, T'ronch, German, sud Italian schools. Tncluded in this collaction 18 tho pioture of tho * Prodigal Son," which slono bas constituted a most suc- cegsful exhibition In this country and in Europo. I'h0s0 picturcs have been brought hero for this Expooition from all parts of the United States, sud this ort-gatlery will, without doubt, surpass jn intorest any liko collection ever open to the public in America, Grost as is the attraction of the art-gallery, it will bo but one feature of many, all of which will bo of moro thau ordivary interest. Tho building itsoif will bean objuct of intoreat,—a structuro of such immonso size, 8o admirably arranged ne to leavo not ono squaro foot unutil- izod, oud, st the samo timo, loaving the wholo equatly favorable for oxhibition. The macbinery employed for the purposes of tho Exposition, a8 well us that placed thore for oxbibition, will bo o most Interosting pact of tho ontertalnment, oven to the visitor who will look upon it as a matter of cuslosity. "Tho people of Chleago owe much ta tho gon-’ tlemon who have with eo great publio spirit labored to placo this Exposition on the perma~ nont footing it now hotds. It Ia not enough that tho peoplo of the Northwest from within a radius of many hundred milos will como hero to seo, admire, wondor, sud purohsso; what will the poople of thia oity do? Thore hins boon nothing ovor douo biere so full of.prosent and futuro prof- it sa the organization of tbis Exposition. Ciu’onatt bus long oujoyed tho credit, the ploasure, aud tho proflt of a most oxtonsive aunual Bxposition, [ has beon croditablo and successful bocause the people ilf thatclly did not 1envo it Lo bo supported by strangers only, but cach man, woman, and child has always folt o porsonnl intorest init. It has bocome to the pooplo of Olnclunati & sort of municipal festival, the grond popular annual holiday, when the ‘whole people turn out to enjoy themsolves, and share tho ploasures which the Expositlon offers to all ita visitors. Oinolnnati thus supporting and shariog Joytully in the fonst preparod for visitars, the wholo country, withiu roach of that city, pours down ita popalation to take part in tho groat fete of tho Bxposition; aud muocess aud profit erown the ontorprize, Hoero, in Chioago, wo hava noarly twics thoe city population and threo times the rural pepulation thot can find easy acooss to, and accommodation in, Clnoinnatl, Wo have an Exposition building capabloe of holding and exhibitiug such & dlaplay of artioloa ae has nover boon surpasscd in tho Wout, Wo havo, as haa slroudy boen utated, au art-gallory that has Lad no rival In tho country; tho floral-hall will ba A mnrvol of boautyy whilo tho mochauioal digplay will bo mont comprohen- slvo snd Anishod. To tho pooplo of this eity the Exposition Lina a direet porsonal iutorost,—tho intorcst of n oxtrnordinary dispiny, and the fn- torost that thin display is n Ohlcago sifair of the dcopont concorn 1o tho trade, sud commmerae, sud busivoss proupority of the olty. It is, thorefore, tho duty of ovory family in Chloago to purchnso tickots of ndmisslon, aud to nttend, and in every ponaiblo way contributo to the sucooss of tho Oltengo Exposition. e ———— ORIOAGO AND THE INSURANOE COMPANIES, In an artiolo in tho Now York Nation of Bopt. 8, 0n tho subject of * Chiengo #nd tho Insnranco Companieg,” wo find thio fllowing oxtraordinary assortion: "Bo for es can bo mado out, they [tho poople of Chicage] have bullt up the clty sinca tho great conflagration of 1871 in very much tho samo condition in which the firo found {t.” Thin ia an oxtremely reclioss and fnjurious statoment, and ono which deserves to bo sn- awored, It is impossiblo to supposo that the Nation bas apy malico toward Chioago, but it i cortainly Ignorant of the charactor of tho old clty, or tho new ono, or both. Tho Proatdont of ono of the largest fire in- surance companios ot tho Enst, after o porsounl inspaction of that part of tho city which the Nation considors 8o wretohodly constructed, hns vocontly promounced the buildings in it pmong tho best vigks an {nsurance com- pioy oould take. Ho luow of uo place in tho country that afforded botter risks. Risks in 8t. Louls wore not, ho said, ss good by 50 por cont. And ovon in Now York and Boston risks woro no bottor,—hnrdly as good. Iis ro- marks, of courso, did not apply to tho woodon, outlying distriots, but to kit portion of the city in which ninc-tonttis of its wenlth is eoncen- tratod. If tho oditor of tho Natlon should go to tho trouble of sonding n compotent inves- tigator biora {0 inquiro into tho rattor, ke would find that Now Ohicago is nt prosont bottor fitted to witbstand n great conflagration, so far 88 its buildings aro concorned, than avan Now York, Thore ars, wo bollove, moro fira-proof builaings on & givon aroa of tho moin business portion of our city than on an oqual ares of any city in the United Statos. Many of tho new buildivgs are provided with stoam firo-onginos. Tho amount of combustiblo material in many of them {8 80 small that it muy bo disrogarded altogother. Wooden cornices thoro aro almost none. What tho charactor of tho robuils portion of thoe city is tho Valion may Joarn from the fack that, whon the great firo of July 14 reached it, it was slmost Immediutely checked. No firo could possibly eat its way any great distance through tha solid walls of the new buildings. No firo that bes occurred in tho now portion has gono boyond the four walls in which it originated. During the Btato »irost firo, which ocourred about a month ago, the hoat from tho burning building was so in- tauso a8 to crack tho glass plates in the bullding ou tha opposito aide of the wido street, but such waa the oxcalloncs of tho fira walls betwoon it and ¢ha buildings edjacent on eachaido that they eacaped with o8 littie injury as if they werea milo awny. The width of Chicago streote in the bilsiness portion, nnd which coincides with the robuilt portion of tho city, is far groator than that of stroots in tho corresponding portron of Boston and of Now York, withtho solo oxcep- tion of Broadway, Tho character of tho build- inga boing tho samo in tho thros citles, it 18 avi- dent that Chicago i by far tho botter risk. Ttia trao that tho insurance companies have inereased the premium on coriain buildings in tho robuilt diatrict, but thia was only becauso the proprictors neglocted to put fron shutters on the roar windows. Cousldering their refusul to e~ ceda to 80 mmso.nublom roquest on the part of tho inaurance cowmpanics, it waa propor that they should pay un increasod prico for incronsed risk, Tunning through the wholo of tha axticle of {ho Nation oo “ Obicago and tho Ingurauce Com- panics ® isa voin of misinformation ssto the real stato of tho question. It is truo thns much ‘1mora ought be done for Ohieago by its City Gov- ornmeut to protect it from disastrous contlagra~ tions than has yot been douno. But that doos not relato to tho character of the buildings thomsolves, Nor s it true, 88 tho Nation insinuatos, that the people of Chicngo aro judifferont to thelr own protecticm, There is no reusonablo domand which the firv insurance companios shall mako that the pooplo of this oity will not accodo to. We venture {o say that {horo is not another city in the country whera such domands would be more resdily aceoded to, for Chicago bins, by bittor oxporionce, teasned to approclato tho bonefits of wise inaurance. Public opinion horo, it anywhoro, demanis that insurance companles shall bo encourngsd, snd that overy possiblo procaution against fire shall bo taken, No framo building is to bo allosiod to bo orected honcoforth in Chicago, The fire lin- its aro cooxtensive with tho oity. This cortsinly does not look &a if tho lesson of the great fire of 1871, sud of ¢thé moro rocont and renlly advan- tagoous ong, wero lost on the poople of Chlosgo. OITY ADMINISTRATION, A munieipality {s o fuanciel corparation de- signed for tho boneflt of all its mombers, Un- fortunatoly, in thono as in othercorporations, tha managors sometimos reap all tho profits and tho stooltholdors get mo sufflcient roturn for their 1money. Our presontgystom of administering mu- picipnl affatrs is a falluro in nearly all of our largo cities, It I » foilure in honesty, cfciency, and soourity, tho threo ossontials of government. Tt scoms fudispousablo that each largo city jn the country should havo s woll-known Ring. Itis georeely worth while to expatiate on the sad nnd dishoartoniug but threndbare toplo of ofhalal dishonosty and increasing taxes. It is notorioun in Obicago that a large number of Aldormon arc nlweys in the mavlet. As for Inofilcioncy, lot our two great fives suflloe 88 proo? uutil the third complotos tho tonching .of tholosson. Aud as for socurity, thoro is no ona of our grent citles which does not contain within it some district that succossfully defles tho exccution of tho laws. . Suoh fallures caonot bo borno long, Honest mon, rich ot poor, will not aubmit forever to bo ruled by the mob, or by tho men whom tho mob puts fnto Aldormanfo chairs, Our Common Counclls are sliaking tho falth of the mon who form tho malnstay of tho country in the wholo theory of reprasantative institutions, Somo bot~ tor mothod of governing grest clbles, they aay, must be discovored, Can it be nocomplished through tho avouus of uulvorsal enfirago? Can nny systom sboxt of univarsal aufe frago evor bo adopted in oities whore it now oxieta? Wil the'non-tax-payora ever consont to ba doprived of the Tight to vote {n muntolpal oloctions ? These Aro questions whioh must bo aneworod at somo time, Muntols pal dobta and expenditurcs will ono day exoued tho utmost abillty of $ho tax-payers, Lvonuow the dobt of New York Olty exoooda $100,000,000, ond hor ennnal revenue falls short of hor sz- penditurés by $18,000,000, & fow years of hard timo, ot & consldorabla divoraion of hor trodo to other points, would bring hor face to foco with thio gravest problem that o city can face,—mu- nicipal baniruptoy or a curtatlmont of the right of suftrago. And what Is true of Now York in true in less dogres of evary other largo Amoriean city. WISCONBIN RAILWAYS. Thoro ia an endeavor to build & now raliroad in Wisconaln, Tho Cbippowa lumbormen want arailivey to tho Misslssippl, noar ‘Wabashaw. Evory yoar tho Chippowa River bocomes loss uso- fulnsn mosns of communication. Rafing ia attonded with numorous delays and obatructions. This i dlsusteoua to tho groat lnmbor roglon. Sovon-tonths of tho vest timbor-lands® of Wis- consin aro tributary to the Ohippawa district, At Tau Olaire tho mills tarn ont 1,000,000 foot of lumbor daily,—onough to troight two iraing of 40 cars onch. 80 vigorous ia tho lumbor indus- try at this pofnt that it has suddeuly eroated a growing oity of over 10,000 mhabitants, A fow miles distant,—at Monomonee,—the lasgest lum- bor-mill In the country 18 located; and directly north of Tiau Clatro is tho scarcoly losa jmportant lumber ullly of Chippews Falls. Bomo years ago tho lumbermen unitod on & sobiowmo to securo rall communication with 3fin- nesots.

Tho intontion ia to supply tho domend for lumber in Central Minnosols and Northorn Towa. Tho route is quite teasl- Mo, no eoglncering difficultios bLeing on- countored. It could be put in oporation for less than §20,000 per mile. Knopp, Stont & Co., .of Monomonos, Bre will- ing to invost §500,000 in tho entorprise. The only dificulty is how to get tho balsnce. There is no doubt as to tho largo businces puar- anteed. Tho rood womld doublloss ba ay- sured mora local froight than any lino of similar Jength now in Wisconein, But, say tho capital- juts, of what svsil tho largo busimess if tho _Logislatare should obligo the Company to do it for loss than cost? Assurancesof the public souso of justico havo little woight with timid caphnlinta in view of the populsc exprossions. Plho result i, tha Compavy caunot induca mon- oyed: mon to ombraco the promising oppor- tunity. Thoy present tho projoct in glowing colors, nnd the facts bear out thoir gtatements; but the construction given tho reserved powor of tho Legislaturo to altor or ropeal tho charler of & corporstion proves an offectunl barrtor to theinflux of capital. Tho hostiloatiitnde of tho poople, rendered more intonac by the hot gcram- ble for offico, increnses tho timidity of investors. ‘Undor theso circumstances, furthor dovelopment gooms st presont {mpassible, ‘Phore aro two sides to tho controversy. The Stato outhorlties olaim that the crodit of a cor- poration is liko tho chastity of ‘woman—in tha possossor’s keoping that if & woman proclaima ot ruin, poople tako borat her word, and that the same rulp governs financinl roputations. Tho rallrosds criod ont that thoy would bo ruinod by the Pottar law jinvestors belloved them and shrunk from touching thelr wocuritiea; whoroat, it is urged, had they maintained they wero unhurt, their orodit ¥ould have romainod intact. The corporations, on the othor hand, claim that to dony thom the mansgomontof thoir proporty 1 virtually to conflscato 1t to the pub- liouso and ronder it valuoless to tho ownera. Thoy dosiro to know doflnitely whother they Lave any rights the poople are bound to rospoct, or whather they aro to be obliged supplinntly to approsch evory Logislntdre and erave tho indul- gonco of oxistence. Tha statoments of both parties have boon pnb- Tishod nbroad. Capitalists have inclined to tho ocorporations because their viswa have obtaiued more currency in moncyed controa; while the pooplo havo espoused the other sido—tiat alone bolng prosented to them, TUntil the difflenlty ia falrly sottled or o compromiso oftocted, fow on~ torpriaos requiring large exponditures will be sucoosafully innugurated. e THE DEBRIS OF THE VERMONT ELECTION. Thore are fentures of tho Vermont election, othor thsn tho defost of Polaud, worthy to bo romarked upon. Tirst, 1a tho decreascd voto, 8t an cloction which sbould bave called ont & fall voto ; and tuis tho Repablicaa pross of Now En- gland, by genoral agroomont, concedo to mean Qisgust rathor then over-confldonca, and the Boston Advertiser rogards it as porhaps tho worst feature of tho day. The Republican vota losca about 9,000, and tho Domooratic about 8,000, from tho lnst Gubornatorial clection. The Repubtican and Domocratic yoters who camo to tha polls stood to tholr rospoctive State tikots, and tho Republicans have about the usual ma- jority of 23,000 ; but beyond that the barriors wero all brokon down, and thore was, by mon of bath pertios, tho wiidest kind of voting on local tiakots, attended with tho most unexpooted ro- anlty.
