THE CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATIORN ON INSUE~ ANCE, The address of the Citizons' Associztion to the National Board, which wo publish in fuli in au- other part of this fesuo, is & temperato and timety thing. Its points arc woll taken, It shows that tho now law making the firo-limits coextensive with tho city, which the Lonrd do- maouded July 24, was passed by eu almost unani- mous vote four days beforo that demand and only aix dayu aftor the firal Tho ill-feoling moused by the Doard's ignorance and want of tact in demending this ordinavce after it had been passed, made all other reforms difficult. This feoling was iucrossed by the Doard's re- fusal to visis tho clty bofore passivg judgmont uponit. Again, whilo the Board threatened the property-iuterests, it was compelled to ap- peal to tho City Governmont. 'Tho address recalls that city governments in Amorica e not apt to be over-hasty in passing laws for tho beuofit of proporty-ownors., Fifty-eight sum- mer days were given Chicago in which to do six thiugs.

Tho fourth demand is for incrensed water-supply, which isbelng furnished 83 qulckly e possiblo—not only by lay- ing vow mains, but by utilizing tho steam-pumpa along tho river, The ffth is for tho investigation of tho cuuses of fires and tho punishment of incendiaries.

Tho nddress cauuot fail to produco o good improsgion. It will, wo think, show some members of tho National Boord that tho resolu- tlon of Bept. 28 was o noealess blow to Chicago, A NEW BOARD OF TRADE, Tho gambling transactions couneotod with the Tecont * cornera ' on ihe Boerd of Trado have arouscd a feoling of indignation on the part of tho respectable’ mombera which may yot lead to tho organization of o sccond Bosrd, composed of legitimate dealers, loaving tho scalpers and gamblers to operato by thomselves. Tho trades which came to a hend on Wodneaday afternoon wore not only gambling iransnotions, but gam- bling transnctions of & out-throat doscription, which tho gamblers of the groen cloth would not have beon guilty of. Whon things como to sucha nass that thoreis more honor af a faro-bank than thoro i4 on the Board of Y'rade, the rospectablo merohants conneoted with it eannot bo blamod if thoy refuso any longer to assoclate with gamblors of this dort, to bo claysed indiscriminatoly with thom, and to boar with thom the goneral odium whioh thoir iransactions hnve aaused both in city and country, Thero are cortain laws agalnst graln-gambling. Whou thoso lawa are openly violeted, and tho Direotors are powerlosa to oenforco thelr penaltics, tho rospectablo mon muat suffer oven moro than tho gamblers, Whon contracta aro doliborately broken, for instanco, under the ralos of gollor. the month, which allow theso sherp praoctices, tho inovitable result is that thoy aro juat as llablo to thoe charge of ir- reaponsibility and disbonosty as tho gamblers.

BUBINESS EXTENDING, On rvoverul occasions during tho past few weeks we have reforred to the stoady incroaro of the jobbing business of this city. In dry goods, crockery, grocories, hardwaro, and wmost other linea of tho wholesnlo trade, our merchauts have » parluer or u thoroughly compotont buyer right alonguido of thoso who purchuse for Now York bouses, and in all cases goods for {his city are purchased at precigoly the samo prico pald for the New York marlket, Thoyaro fmported di- rect to Chicago in bond, and in all respeots, ex- coptin tho smail malter of froights, thoy are recelved at tho counters of our morchants ut exaclly the semo figures as thoy _aro in Now York. It costs mioro {han twico s much in ronts wnd ofher oxpenses to do business in Now York,—itoma which moro thau overbalance tho cost of froights to this city. Meuco it is a tack that our jobbers can afford o sell goods moro ghorply than thoy can bo bought in Now York. Jhnt they setuglly do t, 8 proved by overy weok's oxperionco, A fow recent illustratlons are known to us, Only lagt weols & merchant from Missiseiopi, who had herotoforo purchnsed Lis guods in Now Yerk, aftor carefully examiuing our stocks, pricee, ote., mado up lis mund to buy his goods hore, n8 being both n more nccessible and o chezpor markot. Anothor from Minnesote had purchased & provious bill in Now York ns au ox- periment, but bie has returned to his old fricnds bere, with tho nspurance that h¥ had made his last bil in thab city. Infact, n daily cireuit among our wmerehants would doubloss furnish us with o bost of similar facts. Our manafacturors, too, arodrawing their cus- tomors from all divections. One of our clothing- louses hne supplied twonty-five orders from Toxas within tho last fow wooks, Thoy woro smart enough to find, two or threo yonrs ago, oxnctly what kind of goods the peoplo thereaway waut, aud now they have almost a monopoly of tho clothing trade in o large ssetion of the Lono Star Steto. Chicago boots havo for sevaral yoara beon sold evenin Now England, diroctly under tho noses of tho Yankeo mochanics, Theso are simply aamplo fucts; showing how rapidly our Jobbing trade and manufucturing industrios aro increasing. The fact is patent to all men that Living is, and always must be, eheapor Laro than on tho seubonrd.

Mr. Carpentor states that the case he was ro- tained in bad uwothing to do with the merits of tho Kellogg and McEnory ,controversy. In November, 1872, Judge Durell issucd his famons injunctions rostraining Warmoth aud the logal Board from canvassiug tho returns of tho eloc~ tion ; probibiting McEnery from soting a8 Gov- ernor, or setting up a claim to bo Governor; probibiting the publication of any oftiolal statoment of the cavyuss of tho rotumns; aud divecting the United Btates Marshal to ocoupy the Stato-Iouso and provent the assemblugo of the Legiatature, Warmoth applied to the SBupremo Coure for o writ of prtibition divected to Judgo Duroll, in eoffect vacatiug thoso ordors. Mr, Carpenter sppeared for Xellogg in rosisting tho applieation of Gov. Warmoth. Tho Bupromo Court hold that an apponl would le, but that no writ of prohibition could fssuoat that atage of the cano,—thit i, not till tho decraea wore fiual, ‘Tho effoct of this declsion was to leava Duroll's ordora in full forco, aud, undor those orders, Kellogg's usurpation was completed, It will bo diticult to make & porson of ordinary intollle genca undorstond that Warmotl's application did not ombrace tho whole morits of the casn, 1t was practically an appoal from Durell’s orders, which, subsequently, Mr, Carponter vory justly donouuced as vold, aud as novor laving any logal offost, IMad that appoal beon entertsined, Kellogg nover would have beou Goveruor, ‘Wo havo no Intercst in the controversy ag to ‘how much Mr. Carponter charged or recelved for hils pervicos, Tho nllegatlon made at New Ore lonow, and ropeatod at Wasbington, i that the stubo of Kollogg's chooka show one payment to Oarpenter bf ©3,000 and thros of §500 edcl, mekivg $4,600 in all.

Tho romedy advised by Mr. Blalno for the recklessnois aud waut of sorutiny in tho orea~ tion of municipal debt is first an active, wall- balanced publio judgment, demanding and en- torelng o wiso caution on this pubject.

Our growti in population and wealth is daily lightoning tho burden, aud he coucludes his suggostive ade dross with an intoresting stniement of tho past progress of the country and tho possivilities of the futura, v Tho suggestions aa to the pravention of the reckless creation of municipal *debt have beon acted upon in many of the Westorn States, In 1870 the State of Illinois placed & most effectual check on that business, A yearor so later the State of Michigan did tho ssme, Thoso reforms, bowever, wero not made until aftor a costly ox- porionco.
