The Chcage Teibumne, Thursday Morning, October 1, 1874. Tho attempt of Singloton and Richardson to dostroy tho Opposition party in Quinoy has failed. Noverthelcss, tho barbocus wll bo liold as though nothing nuplonenut had bapponed. Tho stutfed o3, ronstod whole, Is supposod to be omblomatio of tho inflationist faith and what it ia coming to. pessidd ot seby It seoms to bo tho gonoral opinion of mor- chants both in Now York aund Chicago that no dlsturbanco of trada will follow the withdrawal of insuranco companies to-day. Everybody undorstands now that the sction of tho com- panioa iy hasty and ill-advised, and that the ro- turn of most of thom i8 & mere quostion of timo. Tho Waukegan Patriot montions Col. Jobn W. Clampite, of Higbland Park, as ouo of those likely to bo nominated for tho Legislaturo in the TLeko County Senatorial District. Col. Clampitt ig & man of abthty, well read in all questions of political economy, and, if clectod, will mako & usoful member of the Gonetal Assombly. ——— The first joint-discussion betwean the Hon. 8. A. Hurlbut and Gen. Joun F. Farneworth, rival candidates for Congress in the Fourth Illinois Distriot, takes place st Sycamore to-day. Dis- oussions botwoen the samo men have beon ar- ranged for other times snd placos; but Mr. Fiurlbut s likely to bo sick after to-day, and un~ able to carry out the programme, A jotut cauvase for Qovornor, much like the ono for Congrossman-at-Large in 1872, is taking placo in Tounessoo this yoar. Horaco Naynard and Judgo Porter ara tha contestants, Tho ze- parta of tho firat dobato, which occurred atJonos- boro Tuosday, roprosent Mr. Maynard as having beon much distroased by hia record on tho Civil- Tights quostion, Judgo Portor manifoats a por- vesao inclination to make that the main fssue of the canvass, It would raquire tho most subtle caloutus to ds- texmino what will bo tha resultant of tho thon- vand political forcon at play at Wisconsin, The closing at 83¢0 for whoat to Bulfalo, Ilour wns in less domund at formor pricos. Wheat wna mora aative and 1@1i¢o lower, olesing at 0470 cash, aud 04170 ollor October. Corn was nctive and 1o lower, closing at 83fc cash, and 813{c sollor Octobor. Onta wero in good domand and stondy, closing at 50 cash, and 403fe for Octd- Lor, Jiye waw quiot and easior, closing at 8%c. Darloy was quiot and weak, closing at $101 cash, and 990 for Octobor. Togs wero activo ot an average roduction of 160 ; sales at $5.00@ 7.25. Cattlo waro dull and unchanged, Shoop wore steady. Tho option-trading in corn or $sptombor closed yeatordag, with the roault wosuggosted. Ous of those ongaged in the July cornor sold short to the othor Septomber operators, and yostorday declivod delivering about 500,000 bushels, Tho excuso givon ig ihat somo sollors to him in July failod to doliver nbout that amount to him, and that ho has moroly made things ovon. "Thoae who falled to deliver corn in July pleaded that thoy ware provonted doing so by Mr. Blur- gos bimolf, and woro thoroforo not in dofsult, As nouo of thoso:.contrpcts. aro logal, thoy caunot bo enforced, and, hongo they are on & tovel with any other gambling contrsct, Tho soonor the practico Ia discontinged tho bottor. ‘Whon the law and porsonal *honor” both fall toonforco these contracts, thore should be no moro of thom. Tho sharp practics might bo to o grent extont avoided by changing such esles from sollor the month to soller ton or twentydaye from the dato of sale. Inthis way tho matur- ing of all tlo contracts nt tho Bamo lustant would bo avoided. At prosent, all contracta on short sales moy be considored both void and +voidable, and theroforo very uncertnin, Qov. Kellogg, ot Louisiana, hns addrossed 0 'Pitx TRinoNE & socond communication {n re~ lation to tho ropresontations of Mr. 0. H. Walkor. In order thnt the Govornor may not complain of being doniod a benring, we print what he has to ssy in another column; Chicago. Inntead of compolling Obicago to nbandon tho lumber trado, ho advisos that ‘the danger from that sourco bo roducod to tho miuimum by propor procautions agnlnst firo o all tho monufactorios of woodon articles, ssw and planing mills. e compares tho complaint of tho Tnsurance Board, that the salvage is eo small in Ohicago, with their requirement for iron doors and shuttora ; doclaros that, while Manaard roofs are tho ox- coption in Chlesgo, thoy aro the ruloin Now York; and oltes tho fack that our atraots sro noarly donble in width tho stroets in Now York. 1lis suggestions s to tho drill and discipline of the Firo Dopartment ara most appropriato and oxcollont, We commond tho whole lattar of Mr. Porry to the caroful considoration of tho public, and elaim that ft shows that tho aotion of tho Natfonal Board ot Underwrlters was rash, in- conslderate, aud unuacessarily opprossive upon & city like Chiengo. MUNICIPAL TAXATION, 'The anawor o Mr. Galloway's communication, printed olsowhore, is, that the morchants of Chieago do pay & large, vory large, part of tho §7,000,000 tax. They pay it, not only in direct taxes on thoir atooks, thoir homes, thair lands, tholr porwonaity, and, if they aro interonted in corporations, tholr capital stoolk, and not only, a8 Mr. Galloway suggests, in thoir ronts, but in their wages, Their omployes’ pay doponds, in a Iargo dograo, npon tho cost of liviug, and one ot the olements which docido that cost is tho rate of taxation. We boliovo that tho majority of morchanta in Chloago would pay loss, undor ine diraott axation, than thoy do mow. It would ouly be necossary to lovy sbout ©6,000,000 of toxes in order {o ralse as much monny, net, as wo donow with a 7,000,000 lovy. The saving in tho consequont chock to tha corruption which now porvades our Government would bs no mean itom. Taxation can nover bo distributed equitably among poople under the valuation eystom, For nobody can over find out what the proporty of ond, in ordor that tho trath msynot bo con- cealed, wo romark that the Govomor s botls ill-tomxpored and disingenuous, The tono in which ho speaks shows that ho is hurt., o con scarcoly bo ealdto spesk. Ho cries, e says that tho animua of Mr. Walker's various atatomonts iu a desiro o abtain & social position in the Teclio country, *which ho does not ro- coivo snd to which Lo is nmot ontitted.” It will bo ensy for Mr. Walker to answor in tlie samo strain, that, it such ropro- sontations ns lie ins made nre calculnted to give bim an oxalted gocial station in the Teche coun- try, Mr. Kollogg certainly caunot bo highly esteemod there. Undoubtodly this is the caso. Gov, Kollogg. has himmelf admitted it. To j charge him with doroliction of duty is to deserva tho gratitudo of the white people, not ouly in tho Tacha country, but in all parta of Louisiana, It is, therefors, sheer impudonco for him to wffirm that tho statoment of Mr. Walker *“is rogarded” by good ecitizens of Louisians {n ono way or another, Ho 128 no means of knowing how the statement in rogarded by good citizens. Wao do not proposs to discuss at this time the apecifio poiuts at issuo botwoon Gov. Hellogg and Mr, Walkor, Tho quarrel ia thoir own. It is only our intorest 1o soo that it is conducted docentl; THE FIRE QUESTION. ‘Wao publish this morning an sble and intorost- ing lottor from Mr. Alfrod Perry, Gonoral Man- ager of tho Royal Caundian Insurance Compauny, who adds to his oxperionco sg an undorwriter that of thirty yoare' practical labor ry & firoman, He roviows the action of tho Naonal Board of Underwritors most Impartially, pointivg out whoro they havo arred and whero their com- plaints woro justifiable. It is tha bent, cloarest, sud most practical exposition of the Chicago firo quoation wo have yet soen. Mr. Porry citos the fact that, inthe neighbor- liood whora tho firn of July 14 originated, tho buildings wore all of tinderwood, Luddlod to- gothor in s district whoro wator was poorly sup- pliod, and yot most of them, with their conlents, were insured for rore than they were worth. Hero was another instance of what every in- surance agont in Chicago knowa: that in tho zenl and avarico of insuranco solicitors thora] aro thousands of promises, which at bost are vory poor risk, but which are largely over- main intorost, of oourse, contres in the Senator- ship. Carentor wauts it; 18 looking for it and working for it. That his party ls not a unit upon him is evidont from the result of tha aloction In tho Boloit assembly of dolegstos to the Ropublican Convention. Of fiftcen delo- gaten, nine ara plodged against Carponter. Ata gaueus held at tho Town of Rock, the Republic- ans instructod tbeir dolegates to pledge thom- solvos againat Carpenter's re-election under any and all olrcumstances, ‘Chis i pignificant, Llout.~Gov. Antoine, of Louisiana, has ro- turned to New Orleans, ond is now of ths opin- fon that 500,000 troops would be furnishod by the Northorn and Western States in a very short 8paco of timo if they were noceassary to wipe out zebellion {n the South. * Ho foued the tomper and tono of the people just as decidod in favor of the supproseion of tho rebellion a8 it was in 1801," Now, as the Lioutonant-Governor was in Chicago ouly a short time since, all this must have come of riding sbout town with Joo For- xout, It will be romemborad that, just after the Lioutonant-Governor's roturn, Joo tologrsphod the Prosdont that ho wae ready to go South and put aown the rebellion. It hooan intimidnio tho Southern hoart,—the McEnery Govornment rosigued the very day after he sent the dispateh, ~why can ho not firo the Northern one alao? Ono of the Commissionora appointad to settle the aftalrs of the Freedman's Bavk has mudea proliminary roport. Io nys that etatemont of tho bank's condition will bo roady in & fow days, and adds that it will not show as hoavy ssaots a8 have boen commonly oxpectod. This note of warning s evidently intonded to propato the croditors for bad nows. The Commlis- slonors need not hesitate to tell all thoy know, for fear of surprislng anybody who hes taken the palos to watoh tho recont management of tho bank, Wo are bracod up to meet revolations of torriblo blun- dering and fraud, at tho expenso of colored ‘pooplo in tho South, and in tho {ntarost of poli- tlolans who nre now clamoriug for tho protaction of the ** poor negro ™ from Democratio viclence. The Chicago produce markats wore exoltod yosterday, oxcept in provislons, Moss pork wau dull and10c porbrl lower, closing at $21,50@ 21,75 cash, and ©17.60 sellor the year, Lmid was quiot, sod closed 200 per 100 lba lower, st §14.23@14.50°0ash, and $11.80@11.85 soller the yoar, Meate wero quiot aud ansler, at83@ 8840 for shouldors, 18}4@183¢o for short mld- atos, »ud 19M@1% for aweot-plekled hinms, Iichwines woro qulot and strong, at 81,03 por gallon, Lako froights wers sotive and #irmor, losured. The Nativnal Board mako uo refor- enco to this matter, whioh is of tho utmost im- portanco to altkonest Insurers, Mr. Perry mude s personal tour of tho engine-houses of tho city, and, as & strangor, conversod with the men, and failed to diecover the slightest indication of any political demoralization, Ho found tho mon and ofiicors, so far as bo could judge, in splon- did condition phyaically, aud wholly indifferent as to party politics. He calls attontion to tho fact that it has boon .widoly advertised that the Firo Department of Chicago was & sort of political hospitsl, aud tho Nationn! Board secm to bo carried wway with this ides, which Ar, Perry considors has no foundation in fact, The resl stato of tho case, so far as the working mombors ot tho Fire Dopartmont is concornod, is that 3r. Dorry doos thern no more than justico. With vory fow oxceptious, tho oficors aud wmon aro brave, bard-working, and faithfal mon, and moat of them exporienced. But the ofiicors aro without suthority, sud aro thomsolves moro sub- ordinates to a Board which ia not only a politioal machine, but composed of men utterly unfly for tho places they hold. The Dopartment, if loft to tho Ohlot Engiuneer and his assistants, would o far more ofiiciant than it can avar be nodor tho control of the present Fire Commissionors, Ho regards tho oxponditurs for the Dopart~ mont as enormaus and largely unnocessary. Tho apparatus {n use has all boen provided for arge firos, ind ongines woighlng four tons ba- ing all hauled & mile every timo there ia au atarm orniiro of uuy kind, These largo ongines aro gomatimos fod by small pipes, which they soon exhiust, and thoy aro thon holpless, Mo sug- geats & reform, that ouglnes of light welght and adapted for snall flvas be provided, as theso, be- ing promptly on the spot, can boe at work and ofton extingutsh tho fivo boforo it hns assumed werious proportions, Ho also advocatos an lo- crenso In the numbor of the chemioal mackines, which should bo dispatobied abioad of the stepm- ors, and froquontly ronder tho servicos of tho attor unnooossary, Ho donlos that the criti- clsm of the National Domd as to the 8izo of tho water-pipes 18 as intelligent 25 {t might bo, Thero {5 & danger of water fur- nishod by pipes freozing; and, in view of such dangor und a8 & goueral means of supply, he urges that largo tanksbe sunk at dletances. of 1,000 foot; from theso tho onginoa could slways draw an {noxhaustiblo supply. 1o sdvisos that the rubber Lioso oxoluelvely used in Ohlcago bo discarded, and loathor hoso adopted.

Thiu iy tho fairest and tho oasiort tost of tax-paying power. Indirect taxation will eifoot this exactly. Nobt a man, woman, or child could escape paying hia or hox sharo of the Btato, county, and city taxes, The 1natanco which Mr. Gallowsy gives of the difli- culty of fixing licenso-foos for donlers, somo of whom bhave large and somo emall copitals, fs wall put. Tho problem cau bo solved, howover, by n sealo of liconsos proportioned to the amount and charscter of the busiuces, Even it this woro found impracticable, tho small dealor could botter afford to pay bis fixed foo than he can now afford to pay 28 much and more in direct taxos. OUR CIVIC WAR, In Chlesgo, those ave the times that try men's noses. Our proliminary political squabbles are boing conducted on the principle of a word and a blow. Tt scoms impossiblo for two patriots who aro willing to serve thoir country at their country’s oxpenso to moet without bandying bard words and hard knocks. Tho avorage citi- zen can congolo bimeolf with tho refloction that ‘both aro usually well dosorved. If tho presont mania continues, wo may oxpoot to seo tho Hon, John DMorrissoy bastoning to such a congonial clime. Ho has just flattoned tho noso of o rash Now Yorlor who called a follow-politician s hard oamo. Lhis ie in the truo Chicago stylo. The Hon. Jobn will bo met with opon armg by Miko AecDosald, and Nick Coary, and Karl Klings, and tho restof our awmatour shouldor-hitters, Then will tho saw- dust of saloous onco moro run red with strenms frof rubicund noses. The local columns of the city press will overflow with bloody dotails. Smashed politicians will adorn our thorough- faros. Tho resourcos of the Pollea Departmont will bo taxed to the uttormost to releaso plug- ugly gambleraon straw bail, Already, wheo only tho skirmiub-line has beon evgaged, the Louis- inun war bos faded iuto nsignificance, That was compressed into a dsy, Tho main troublo about Chicago's civia war, up ta date, is that nobody hne boen killed. Chicago will bo happy toprovide & lot of her ward-bummers with fuvorals and to Lang tho bummors who killed them in firat-class stylo. It thero i8 toboany sorious issue of thiu sort, our respeoted rulers are mare thau weleome to go on the war-path. A PLUCEED PIGEON, “Uneasy liea the head that wears a erown.” Gov. Kellogg, of Louisians, hns beon mado the target of almost endlces abuso durivg tho past fow montha; but, whon somo of the facts of his Administration aro consldered, it would scem as if the publio shiould regard him moro in sorrow than io anger. If ever o pigeon wero pluckod in this world, that pigeon is Kollogg. Every stop that e took involved o fat foo. Turn whichover way ho might, ha waa doatined to maot «oma im- portunate politiclan eoliciting money. Thoro wore boggars to tho right of him, snd boggara to tholoft of him; beggars in Louisiann, and boggara in Weehington; politcians who could do ovorything for him, sud politiclans who conld o nothing forhim; but alt erying like tho horso- loool’s daughtor, “Give, givo," and all wanting thoir stico largo and thick. The situation calls for sympathy, not consure, ® It was an sreoident which rovonled tho situn~ tion. Ono bright morning, through stress of unforexoen circumstances, tho Governor romoved from the Stato-Houso to the Custom-Ilougo so abruptly that Lo badu't time to take his private papers with bim, His short-hved successors, in clearing out tho Gubornatorial desk proparatory to oponing businoss, gathorad up the Governor's Jottors, and, having uothing olse to do, coolly sat down and commonced reading thom. It was an importinent procaeding, but it developd rich- ness and polltical nuggets of the largost sizo, First camo B, C. Bitlings, » Republican lawyer of Now Orleans. As Mr. Billings was golvg away in a fow days, he would bo obligodif the Govern- or would hiond a part of his foes to thoir *mu- tual friond,” v, Barratt; and, bolug of & san- guluo tomporament, Lis hopes vosohed tho amount of 86,000, The noxt lattor showed that ho got $2,600, Then comes a lotter from one Willlams, wondorlug why his fosa have been forgotton, Thon Billings turns up sgsin aud writes * Dear Goveruor: Chandler (Will- iam E,) Ia working with us, and he has workea with us nobly and effectively. 1o wishod mo to writo you about his feos.” Having flaished the firat drawer, the now Administration dives futo anothier, and tle first lottor which turns npla from Calob Cushing, who has also boen helping pluck ths Govornor.

I ahall bo happy to sao you whon you come hero.” Quuulug Calobl Iow pitch was the smauut af the noxt draft? Thon comes Bon Butler, tho optimlat, with his philo- nophieal crost and motto, ** Comme je lo tronve,” taking thingsas hofluda them; andho thinks that tho amount which he will fiud and take ought to bo 83,000. Loat tho Govornor may think this Is too mutoh, ho rominda him that ho advised with tho counsol who argued tuo Louislana case in the Bupromo Court, and that tho counsol will rocognizo his claim ; hones, *ploase romit by draft, whioh draft will bo your racefpt.” Poor Kollogg! Tho noxt man who comes s Senator Carponter, and Lo comes vory much as Achillos ontorain ** LaBolle Holeno,” ITeis short, sharp, torso, and flondishly in osrnost. Io has ouly throo linon to writo, but Whately himself could not have put thom more logically, ¥ Dear Kol- logg, Tam desporatoly short.” This s to the voiut, Thero I no mistaking his meaniug, Be- ing dosporatoly short, of courss le wauts monoy. **QCan't you send mo $1,000?” Then comes the inevitablo ergo: ““1f wo, it would bo 8 godsond. Yours truly.” In the whale histors of politieal corrospondonco nothing noater or wora lacanio thau this can bo found. Iow mauy more lottors of this sort wore found it hos not boou stated. As tho McEnery Govorn- meut was only {n power & day or two, it may nob be impossiblo that thoy held a consultation and docidad, if this waa tho manner in which Kollogg was bled, it would be choapor for thom to quit at onco than {0 stay. Aftor much nn exposo as this, tho feoling of indignation ngainst Kollogg should bo tompored with somo commiseration ; for, it thw plackiog goos on much longer, ho wou't have a pin-foather loft in & short thne, Beveral gentlemon of Pbiladolphia conneoted with the managomont of the Nationsl Couton- nial Colebration which will occur in 1876, aro in this city, Thoy intend to explawn to the poople of Illinals, through some conveniont madium, tho scopa of the proposed Exposition, the pros- out stage of tho work of proparation, and the conditions nocousary to succews. One of these conditious, of courso, is an abuu- dant supply of money at the start, a port of which tho pooplo of tho West aro oxpeoted to furnish. Wo aro plonsed with the Indomitable rosolution of those gentlomen, and boliove that thoy have st last adopted tho oy rational and proper moaus of raising the ro- quired funds.

At tuosswms time, ths gon- tlomon ropresenting tho entorprise in this part of tho country will do woll to promiso that no furthor attompts shall, with their consont, be mado to secure a Contenninl appropriation from tho Nationnl Treasury. A correspondent writes with roeforence to a rocant article printad in thia paper on * The Ro- ligion of Quob,” wishing to know how woman- sullrago bas received “uotica to quit” by the dovolopments of tho Boochor scandal. Onr cor- respondout, probably, is ready to concedo thnt the caugo of womsn-suflrago hns el with now prejudices on the part of tho public growing out of this amaif. Evory ope of tho prominent actors in the drama,—Mr. and Mrs, Beocher, Mr. aud Mrs, Tilton, aliks Beechar and Mrs. Hooker, Mr. Bowen, Miss Anthony, 3Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Woodhull, Mother-in-Jaw Morse, Miss Claflin, Col. Blood,—all, in fact, axcopt Moalton, are not, only advoeates of woman-surago, but thoy are the leadors of the movemont, A part of the troubles in this case grew directly out of tho rivalry bo- tween the Boston and Now York societics, Tho original oxpose was cansed by intostine troubles and wrangles umopg tho lenders. Now tue pao- plo are tired and sick of avery one of these poo- plo, and all their theorios, hobbles, and idens. Thoy bave placed an odium not ouly upon them- gelvas, but npon all the projects thoy have bean advocating. In this mabnor, the womnu-sufe frago businoss Loy notice to quit. At tho samo time, having notice to quit docs not nocessarily involve tho fact that it will quit.
