According to common roport, Tweed's arm haa boen stretehed out from Blackwoll's Istand, and the rosnlt has boon the nominstion of his mortal ‘enomy, Samnel J, Tilden, for Governor of New York, by tho Democratio party. Tweod's arma are powerlees, but they aro atill dreadful, Somo of tho newspapers East sposk contompt- uously of Col.

In the first Lioat of tho indignation following upon the action of tho National Board, somo time wia lost in do- pouncing the cowardice and blindness of the companics. Now the people nro beginning to realize that the situation is very grave, sod that tho fact of its being pro- duced by ignorasca and Zolly searcely furnishes & witigation of its gravity. Tho Citizons' Asso~ ciation calls for prompt snd onergotio action. Tirat of all there must be roform in the muniei- pal zdministration, then reform in detail,—es- pecially in tho Fire Dopartmont.

THE WATER-PIPES, Mr. Dixon, Prosident of the Board of Alder- mon, proposes to-night to introduce an ordi- nance providing for the fmmadiatelaying, within the district bounded by'the lake, Cricagoavenno, Halated stroot, and Sixtoenth atroet, 8-inch ser~ vico-pipea for tho oxclusivo uso of the Firo Do~ pariment. Al thia district is furniehed with geners] maing of 96, 24, and 16 inches; it is also enpplied with servico-plpos ranging from § to 12 inchos, Tho pipo proposedtobo nid under Dizon's ordinancs i to bo put down where the smail plpes sre now laid. The small pinos are sufi- clont to meot all domestlo and buslnoss purposes, and will not bo disturbed, and tbo new plpo witt bo used exclusivoly for furnisbing the firo-plags, of witieh au Increased number will be supplied. Thoso 8-inch sorvico-pipos suppliod by the 36 and 24 inch mains cannot be exbausted by any number of ongines that can bo attached to them., To mako the syatem af larger maina complote in this district, the ordinence will provide for the nocegsary oxtonsions. The following is the sum- mary of the now pipo proposed to be laid: 07,000 feat of 8-inch service-pipe, 8,50 fect of 12dnch servico-pipe. 9,800 feet of 16-1ucts matn, 1,800 feot of 24-inch main, 1,000 foet of 30-inch maig, This is nn avorago of noarly 42 mileaof new pipe, In sddition to that of oqual size already Juid. Within the district named thoro will then De not ome foot of stroot supplied with loss than an 8-iuch pipe, and this sorvice-pipe will bo supplied by tho 86 and 24 inch mains which bavo boon of lato yoars laid all through thia dis- trict. Tho powor to pass tlug ordinanco is fonnd in that provision of tho charter known as tho Emergency clauso, under which the Counctl may in oase of au unforoseen necassity provido for tho publio safoty. Tho sum required to pro- vide and Iay tho 207,000 foet of 8-inch pipo, in- cluding tho fire-plugs, fa §617,500, which sum hes to ba borrowad aa 6 tempatary loan, to bio provided for in tho noxt aunusl spproprintion ordinance. Thero will be no difficulty whatover in obtaining the money for that purpose. Tho larger-sized pipo will bo purchased and laid out of tho apprapriations slresdy made. Now will tho Common Council prove thom- solves equal to tho ocoasion, aud paes this ordi- nance to-night, and by an unanimous vote ? Tho offect of the passage of that ordinance to- night will bo most bonefleial. It will do much to romove tho unfavorable estimate placed on our City Government. It will do much to restoro confidenco at homo, and &8 mueh to restors it obroad. It will give an assuranco that our peo- plo are not carclees or indifforont to the safoty of the city, and that in due time, nud as xapidly 28 it can bo dono, Cbicags will so protect her proporty that no one shall feol insecurs with an investment here. THE INSURAN( UESTION. The gravity of tio insuranco guession 8 nos becomiug moro avidont to our peoplo. Policies ara oxpiring daily, and aro not renewed, and the search for good insurcuce after next Thuraday will be difficult, if not hopoless. Worse than no inguranco s that offered by tho tribo of woak~ ling companies who will rush hera to gathor the buseinees they would oot otherwise oxpect. Wo invite the sttontion of those who affest sn in- diffaronco, and thoso who eay we aro better off without jnsurance than with ik, o two brauchos of business which are of imporiance in Chi- eago, and to which prime insurance is essontial, During 1873 there wore nearly 100,000,000 busbels of grain reccived intostorain Chicago. Witheach congignmont of this grain came o draft from the ehipper, The consigneo paid this draft, and put- ting tho grain in warehouso had it insured, and presonting his warehoueo roceipt covered with iusurance obtained aloan thercon from which to mako other advances to othor shippers, In {his woy tho whola of that immenso body of grain was successfully hondled in tuis city, But the inguranco was an esgontial {tom in tho trany- action, Without such insurance, not a bank in thia city would advanco a dollur on any grain in warohonso; without such advances, the grein could nover bavo Leon handled lere, and must havo gone claewhere. No shippor will send grain to bo put in ators unless the ssmo can bo in- surod. The same practice generally provails in the packing trade. Hoga cost mouey, and the mill- jons of hoga purchased here annually have to bo paid for in cash, Assconas tho hogs are killed and packed, and become commodities un- dor tho names of pork, lasd, and bacon, tho awner {usures thoatock os fast ag it sccumulates, and upon tho certificate of storage and Insur- nnoa obiaing the means with which to continue is business. Not o dollar ean bo Lorrowed on any pork or lard In warohouse unless tho samo be well fnaured. Without ivsuranco thero can o no such thing a8 kesping grain, or pork, or 1axd, or flour in warchouso in this city ono hour. Thore must bo insurance, or the grain and pro- vision trado of Chicago muat bo dono through Milwaukoo, Toledo, and other places whore in- suranco is to bo had. It s unncccssary to particularize Low tho want of insuranco will affect tho monufacturing and mercantilo trado of Chicago, Without - suranco thers can bo no credit, and without cxadit thoro can be no mauufscturcs, Homo deulors having large capital may bo able to Gis- pense with insurance on a cortain proportion of thio stock thoy carry ; but tho losa of any further insuranco will put & stop to their business. No may can buy goods on credlé or borrow money on stookd of gooda unlesa tho property, which Is tho baala of the orodit, can bo insured. At presont tho foroo of this blow is only light~ Iy folt; butif after Thursdsy no grain recoived In Ohicago can find Insurance such as tho banks will acoept, and as day aftor day policies on bulldings and merchandiso, on machinery, and waterials, and household furniture oxplre and caunot bo renowed, tho damaging effeot of tho audden withdraiwal of fnsurance will bo ox« porlouced by all classes, and tho folly that invit« od and provoked such » condition of things will ba admitted by all Thors L9, howaver; no uae in glving up w dese palr.. Wo had tho fira in 1871, tho eplzootio in 1872, tho panfo in 1875, and now wo have somo- thing which, it not snecdily arrestad, may prove more disastrous than all tho procoding cateme ities combluod. Tho loss of our buildinga and proporty could bo ropnired because it did not do- stroy our credit. Tho loss of insuranco doos do- stroy credit and dry up tho ppringe of prospor- ity. Thoro Ia but ono thing to do. The National Board of Uudarwritora mado certain domands of us, soma possible now, othors only possivlo some montha Lonea, whou the Legislaturomoots. Let ua addross ofirselvos to a4 noar a complianco of thoso domands as wo can, Thoro ls no diffi- culty whatover in the wavof placing on overy cross strpot dn tho businoss port of Cbicago 8-inch supply-plpes fod by tho 46 and 24 fuch matns alroady laid. That 1s o more mattor of dollars and conts, affeoting each proporty-owner to s vory amall amount, o ean ask the pros- ont Board of Fire Commissioners to rosign or roorganizo tho Dopartmont o certain approved principles, and, it thoy rofuso, we can, in & fow months, abolish the prosent Board, and get ono that will acoedo to tho domands of the peoplo, Wo can take all tho proliminary steps for tho necessary logislation. Wo can as indi- viduals put iron shuttera on all our largo build- ings oxpasad to fire from without. We can take down the wooden Mausarda from high buildinga and put up iron or brick In placo of the wood. Wo can organizo volunteer nssistants to tho Firo Dopartmont. Wo can invite hither some expe- rieuced organizer liko Gon. Slalor to instruct our firomen, nud to glve thom that disciplne which thoy neod and which they all desire. Wo ‘can and must do all thoso thivge, The first thing to rogain confidence is to. show oursolves worthy of it. The Grst thing to bo done to got juguranco is to put our property in an insurable condition, and surrouna it with all the protection that oxperienco aud good governmont can pro- vido. GEN, GARFIELD'S REPLY, Gon. Garfleld has replied to his aconsors in sn olaborate speoch at Warren, O, devoting nimaclf to tho threo principsl chargos brought sgolnst him, viz, : Credit Mobillor, Salary-Grab, sud tho DoGolyer paving-contract. In regard to his connection with Credit Mobilier, ho aflrms that ho never recoived tho $829 mention- ed in Oskes Ames' momorandum-book, and nevor agreed to {ake auy Credit-Mobiller stoclc from him. Also that ho returncd his baok-pay to the Trepsury as soon as possible. Also that, 28 Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, ko hesitsted Jong whothor he would slaughter | tho wholo bill containing tho back-pay clauso, or not, and his decision not to slaughter it can at most ovly bo accounted an error of judg- mont. Also that tho only connection tho Gov- ernment hed with paving in tha District of Co- lumbia was to pay tho proportionate assessmont. per front foot of Governmont proporty, and that tho approprintion under which the DoGolyer contract was to bo paid had besa mado befors ho (Garflold) Lad anything to do with the caso, Gen. Garfiold's connoction with Credit Mobi- lior i8 altogathor too bazy, and tho amount of mongy invelved in it teo small to covatitute a good pround of objoction to him as o public man ; and tho worst thing that can bo said about Lim in connection with tho salary-grab is that ho missed o groat opporinnity w do an ox- omplsry public sorvice, His connoction with tho DaGolyor.paving-contract cannot bo passed over eo lightly, whon wo romember that appropriations for {(ho District of Colum- bia wore oxpected by DBoss Shophord snd his erow to be mado continuously, and wore Loped for in much larger amounts than the pro- portionats assossment par front foot on Govern- mont property: It is hardly open to & resson- ablo doubt that Gon. Garfleld’s spposrance bo- foro Shephord, or Shephord's Board, was tho do- cisive influenco in sccuring the DoGolyer con- tract, and that it was Gon, Garflold's position na Chaitionn of the Committoo on Appropristions that ronde his influence decisive, It matters not whother $5,000 was o large foe or a small one for tho servico, if the detormining influcncs was not My, Garilold's argument but his position. That Gon. Garlold hias boon, on the whole, & useful mombor of Congress, somowhat Incking in baokbone, must be admitted ; but it will re- main fixed in tho minds of impartial observ- ers that if ho has no botter dofonse of his counec~ tion with tho DoeGolyer paving-contract than tho one e made at Warren, it would have been bet~ tor to have rasted his case on the roport of tho District Invostigating Committes, ln which ho was at all eventa not consured, RUFFIARISM RAMPANT, Tho disgraceful scrimmage in tho McGarry saloon on Saturday night s tho first tangiblo demonstration wo have had tbst an election is appronching, Tho campaign may now be con- idored ng fairly open, the first blood baving Dboon spilt. Tho eurroundings woro ali of & po- litieal nature. Tho scriwmago Loppened in a political rendezyous, whero it is the wont of tho patriots of both parties to gather for tho disous- gion of moans and moasures to eavo the country, and for tho disponeation of fluid comforts. Tho crowd was a crowd of officcholders and their supportors. ‘Tho leador of tho ettack was Mike McDonald, gambler and protogo of thoe Polioo Su- perintondent, and thointonded victim of the attack was Jamos McGarry, who deals in political whisky and stimulates tho patriots. The wholo affray was tho natural outgrowth of thio prasent domor- alized condition of local politica and-the lax ad- minlstration of Jlocal government during tho pustyenr. It will striko tbo reader, thorefore, that the political eitustion s not altogothor ‘Thopotal or inspiring, and it onght to striko tho Young Men's Chriatian Association aud tho Yole~ follows that thore is an admirablo fleld for mis- sjonary Iabor smong our oficcholdors and muuplicipal patriots. It tho ovent sball haven tondency toinspiro a littlo serious thought upon the part of our ruling classes, if their blacked oyes and battored noscs only lead them to the conviction that thore aro othor places botter cal- culated to fucronso solf-rospact than whisky~ shops, thls scrimmage will not have been in vain, Whilo peaconble and Inw-abiding citizens, who do not spand tholr timo lonngiug on whilsky- ‘barrels, witl have little sympathy with tho patriots who woro canght fn this dlsgracoful affalr, thero 1s novortheless sn important question which novw calls for an aaswor more imporatively than aver. s thera pawer emough in the Qity of Clieago to put down this man McDonald? How mauch longer {8 this gambler aud bis gaug of rullana to bo allowed liberty to cmry on thelr notarious operatlons without hindorance from tho autboritios? ow much longer are they to bo protectod m swindling, gambling, pistoling, and goneral roflaniam? How much longor aro poace- ful cltizons to be exposed to nasault by theso sooundrols, without say’ hopos of protec tion by the polics authorities, without even fogsl rodress? Zuls man MoDondd bu for yesrs beon a pist in thia com- wmunity, ITo lhas fastonod himaclf upon overy ndministration which would be likely to supprons him, sud has secoured immunity for bimaolf through the political infinonco which ho oxerts upon ths gangs of pamblors and roughs of this city. o bas beon undor the proteetion of tho Polico Dopartmont ot thia city, and Las not only boon allowad to odrry on his gambling- houses and any other disgracoful oporations ho ploased, but hae ovon dictated to tho polico forco, and carrled himeolf with such brazen im- pudoucs that thore 4 not a patrolman on the foreo who does not deom it a part of hia duty to boclvil to him, Ho will go uopunishod for this offanwo s hio bas gono unpunisbiod for Hcoros of others. Tho rosult of this conatant immunity i that hois strongthoning himself year by yoar, and, 1t he is not supprossed boforo long, will ocoupy the aame place in Chicago that Mcdlullen doos in Philadolpbia and Morrisany in Now York, The disgraceful affair of Saturdsy night oughbt o open poople’s oyes to tho dangor which throat- ons them from this notorions gsmblor and bully and the gang which ba controls. It ought to opon thoir oyes to the low and demoralized eon- dition of city politios, It ought to arouso thom to tho Importando of olocting .polico authoritiea who will pus down this cloment of rufiianism with a strong hand Inatead of protecting it, and to seoure officolioldors who bave too much ro« spect for themuolvos to spond * their time loafing in bar-rooms, If it is not done soon, it will be too lato. Tho bost way to commenco is to sup~ pross Mike McDonald, Is thore power onough in Chieago to do It, or Liss ruffanism alrondy got {he upper hand ? E COMFROMISE IN LOUISIANA, Tho compromiss conforences i New Orleans wero at firat astisfactory. Thole final fatlure is alloged to ba due to the malign influcnce of Marshal Packard, who, forgotful of tho time whon ho garrigoned the Custom-House with Fed- coral troops and had thom keop out Warmoth del- egatoy to tho Republican State Convention, {a justmow busyin getting costificates of good conduct from Gen. Emory. Aftor aeversl propositions had beon mado only to ba rojected, tho two Commiltecs began to agree. Itwas docided that tho Registrars of Electlon should be equélly divided between tho two vporties, Thoso officials hove abso- lnto power over tho rogistrution of votors. Thoy can rojock any mame. The courts aro oxprossly forbidden to tako cognizence of any complsinta mado by ox- cluded votors. As & samplo of the way In which Kellogg's appointoes aro at present conducting tho rogietration, it may suffico to state thatin New Orloaus, which bas 10,000 colosed voters, 11,000 negroon wore registored in tho fsst two weeks, sud that one nogro was found to bave twonty-seven certificates of rogistry under differ- oot nanes and from different wards, 8o that ho could have voted, if ho Lad not been detected, twenty-seven timesl 1t was agreed by the Committooa, in tha socond place, that tho regis- tration and cloction should bo undor the control of an * Advisory Bosrd" of five parsons, that ench party shonld chooss two of them, and that the fifth should be sgrood upon. A colored Republican, Dr. M. F. Bonzano, was named, with tho consent of both sides, for thiy ftth placo. TFinally, it was suggostad that tho Roturning Board, which counts the votes and declares the results, shonld be mado up in tho samo way. It now consists of ©ox-Gov, J. Madieon Wells, who testified in bohalf of tho Kollogg Govornment beforo the Somato Investigating Commitieo ; of Gen. Longatraot, who was on the illogal Returning Board of 1872 —the ono that pus Kollogg in power; of T, G Andorson, a Republican who defeated the rogular TRepublican and Consorvativo nominees for State Bonator in1872, avd whois theraforo now paraded as » Conservalivo by Kollogg; and of G. Cosanavo and L. 3L, Konnor, bott Republicans, This Board is the key of tho wholo position, The Supremo Court of Louisiana has docided that its returns not only declars, but prove, sa eloction. They cannot bo questioned by the ecourts. Yot tho proposal to bavo this Lody impartially constituted waa poremptorily negatived, Tho Eollogg-Packard party offored to give the Opposition two members, but lusisted on retain- ing tho other threo. This was mockory. Tho two would bo powerless. Thoy might oxposo frauds committed by thelr colleagues, but tho roturns mado by the majority would uoverthelosa put Into power every person declared by thom to bo electod, On this point the party of usurpn~ tion was firm, It would not yiold this sure means of perpotunting ia power, whothor tho poople voted for it or mnot. Bo tho conference endod, Xellogg said, in bis dispatch to Jamos Gordon Bennett: “If wo can have a peaceable elootion in Novombor next, tho result will elow, what I think, that MoEncry was not olocted Govornor." We huve no doubt that tho vounlt, after bolng manipulated by Kollogg's Board, will shiow any and evory thing that Kollogg would like to hsve it. Norcan wo andorstand any more cortajn provocativo of dis- content and revolution than to sgain condomn, by fraudulont rotums, the will of tho poople of the Stato to bo trawplod under foot by an usurpor, Whito men are not to bo kopt in slavary forever. THE CINCINNATI FESTIVAL OF 1875, Tho dotormination of Cincinnatl to bocome the mustcal centro of the country is onco more shown by the preparations which havo already been made for the grost Musical Festival in May, 1876, under tho dircctorship of Thoodoro Thomas and bis valusble sssistant, Mr, QOtto Singer, who did 80 much to bring about the re- markable snceoss of the Festival of 1873, That tho magmficont chorus of that year {s detormined to surpass its former effort is shown by the fuct that it has already commoncad work, and will thorotora have uearly nine months for ro- hoarsal and study.

PR THE COLLAFSE OF THE INTERNATIONAL, A fow short yoars ago, the International Saci- oty was a thront that troubled every erowned hoad in Earopo. Tho orgsnization, bogun by tho fratornization of the Fronch sriisana sent to tho London Exposition by Napoleon IIL with thoir English fellows, sproad rapldly over tho Continent, Tho theoriats of tho working classos saw o Iho now Society tho prom- iso of the spoody fulfillmont of their wildeat hopes. They flocked intoit by thou- sands. Thoro can be no doubt that the organiza~ tlon wasa very poworful one, although its ro- soureos wero naturally oxaggerated. It plan of formation was oxccllont. If the time had beon ripe for what tho promotora of the schemo wara pleased to call “the solidarity of tho natons,” the Internationsl would hava wolded togothor tho workingmen of Europo. Fortunatoly for clvilization, tbo time was not ripo. Christendom, whatever it may come to liereafter, ia not yet prepared to remove tho few cheoks on the mob that are still in force, The firat Congrassea of tho Intornational devoloped a vast difference in the ways of thought of tho different delogates, Tho sessions were mainly dovatod to porsonal altercations. In thointorvals tho atrooious ruffous known aa capitaliats wore roundly denounced. Thoeir approsching extine- tion by tho workingmen was gloofully prophe- aiod. ‘When the Contral Couacil of the International indorsed the Parie Commuue, the more sousille ‘mombers of the Ozdor, headed by Goorgo Odger, ita Prosident, witbdrow. This was the signal for disruption. Boon afterwards, the Socisty’s hosd- quarters woro transferred to Now York. Karl Marx, groat in a land where ho spoko at the risk of his 1ifo, and insignificant in & country of prac~ tical frea epooch, cama acrosa tho Atlantio to plunge into obscunty. Rince then, the Interns~ tional hna been eporadic. A fow arrests in Gor- mony, & tow in Ttaly, o fow in Donmerk, have testified to its fanciod sctivity from time to timo, but this is all. Its doctrives have boen preached in Tapatical papors, but it has boon vox ¢t pra- terea nilil. Tho fnal fizzlo of tho organization was the *Congress” which has just adjonrned at Drossols.

Five of tho fourtcon wero oloctod oficors, aud then reports wers called for. Tho pormancnt Socratary of tho Fodoral Bureau had written to nobody sud nobody had writien to him. As none of tho pormanent ofiicials had tskon the troublo to attend the Congress, this somowbat meagre roport bad to bo accoptod far tho wholo lot. Tho dologates thon spokoe in order. England and Amorica wers unreprosonted. The Belgian depnty stated with prido that tho Bolgian bourgeoisia woro vory much troublod by the oxiatonco of the BSociety. This was hailed a8 highly eatisfactory, The solitary Swiss presont moaned over the fact that tho workingmen in bis country were too proaporous to tako pains to rovolt. Ho hopod they would soon ho in misery, however, Tho German delo- gotlon had much the samo thing to eay. Tho Frouchman was hopotul. Ho esw auarchy ahoad, At this announcoment tho Congress grow hiln. rious. Tho Italian remarked that his goction was conaplring * for tho complota dostruotion of the Stato, for tho aunihilaon of overy kind of anthority, and for tho taking posscasion, by the upliftod masses, of all tho implements of labor, machinos, sad raw -mato- ris), tocluding tho soil.” This comprehonrivo schomo of robbory wag neatly gummed up by tho dologato who snid that {6 moant *anarchy and collectivism,” A flory Bpaniard ehricked omt thiet “*vengennca was tho war-cry " of tho Inter- national in Spatn. Tho Congress, after passing aresolution that tho world's population should bocoms one @pantio co-operative socioty for producing sud diatributing the woalth of tho earth, adjourncd. ‘Thin is probably tbe lasy Cobgress of an or- ganization that oneo covered Europo.
