clsims, and nee your greaf influence both 23 & mem- per and as Speaker to bring about their rejection 4f possible? The Hon. MruToN SAvrER has not answer- od one of these questions. There is nota Pemocratic Congressman who will answer them. The Southern claims ‘business is one of the strongest of the Dewocratic issues. The Southern States aro preparing their claims with unusual activity, upon the prin- eple that those who get in first will get paid firt. The bills that were introduced by Pemocrats from Southern States in the last gession of Congress providing for compensa- tion for the use and occupation of property by the United States army during the late ‘War show the magnitude of this claim busi- 83S. i The North has been hearily taved and guffered fearfully in the lives of its soms, glain upon the battle-field and starved in prison-pens, in satisfying the legitimate expenses of the War. After having done all this uncomplainingly, is the North ready to pay for damnges done to Rebels in forcing them back to loyalty ? Is it ready to pay back the direct taxes, to refund the cot- ton tax, to pay for slaves, to meet the dam- sges to property caunsed by military necessity, #nd to settle up in addition to these claims hundreds of thousands of dollars in paying fraudulent demands from ex-Rebels? These things should be considered before it is too late. Elect TrLoEN and HENDRICKs in No- yember, and it will be too late to protest. There is no way to meet the Rebels with their claims except at the ballot-box. If the North wants to escape, let it vote as it fought. — PERSONAL. ‘Mrs. Laura Dainty, of Chicago, has been reading in Boston with some success, Mr. Adirondack Murray has written another work of fiction which will be entitled **The Story the Keg Told Me.” Gladstone drinks bitter beer with his breakfast, two glasses of clarct at dinner, and sometimes a glass of port later.

ViENNA, Sept. 23.—A difficulty has arisen be- cause the Porte, before eranting a prolongation of the armistice, desires the Powers to give au opinion {n regard to its peace propositions. The Powers, on the other hand, persist in de- mahding a conclusion of the armistice irrespect- ive of this condition, beeause, as they have from the commencement insisted that the armistice is indispensable, they consider it would be derogatory to admit any sort of compromise on the subject. The Powers also intend this atti- tude as a concession to Russia, she having throughout the negotiations determinedly sup- ported an unconditional armistice. As the term of the present suspension of hostilities draws to a close, the demands of the Powers become more pressiug, some of them having tolerably plainly intimated that the Porte’s refusal to grant an armistice would lead to & suspension of their diplowatic relations.

To select from the ensemble of atfractions offercd by our Exposition the most striking feature would secm an arduous task. Oneof the highly interesting features, and one which re- ceives its full mm&:lcmcnt of attention, is the really excellent display of Belding Bros. & Co., the celebrated manufacturers of sewing- silk. Their display combines all the fascinating attractiveness of a tasteful and skillfully arranged exhibit, which the nature and beauty of their goods make possible, and a wonderful picce of mechanism styled a *spooler,” whose sworkiugs are eagerly watched and studied; and if one may judge from the attentiox this displx receives and merits, it should certainly rank among the leading and notable attractions of h¢ exhiibition. : EXPOSITION GOSSIP, Tithy Paragraphs Pertaining to the Big Building on the Lake-Shore, Entertaining Items Gleanéd Among the Chief Exhibits For a practical, common-sense exhibit, prob- ably nine out of every 10 visitors to the Exposi- tion will agree that the stand ot James Wilde, Jr., & Co.'s clothing-house hasa just precedence over any other single display. Certain it is, that no firm in its own line of business presents nearly so attractive and creditable a showing. Upon & generous area in the south portion of the building, not far from the fountain, the pro- prietors of this clothing-house have grouped a comprehensive display of samples of the admirable =oods sold at their famous establishment, = corner of State and Madison streets. This display consists of a complete assortment of cverything a boy or gentleman can wear, the goods being arranged with singularly artistic effect andsound business judgment. Haudsome as is the exhibit, it is further interesting from the fact that everything shown, even to the glass-cases and counters, has been taken right out of the regular stock and furnishing of the store itself. The displayisa perfect clothing-liouse in miniature, aud isa superb evidence of the excellence of ready-made clothing in Chicago. The benefit of “handling the best article in its tine of , trade known to the world, and then of making 2 novel and valuable display of it at an exposition, often receives a striking illustration. Here, for instance, are the Dicbold & Norris safes, confessedly the most perfect manufac- tured in this or any other country. Mr. Norris, Vice-President_of the Company, and General Western aud Southern Agent, had the sterling judgment to arrange u unigue showing at our iixynsil.iuu, by having a safe wherg, visitors could store” their valuables for “an hour or for days. He also displayed samples of the various gafes made by the Company, and in addition proceeded to issue tickets of gratui- tous adinission to the famous safe-deposit vaults of the State Savings Institution; the latter stronghold against flames and romues having been built by Diebold, Norris & Co. The re- sult of this enterprisc is that several sales of safes have been made, and that the vaults in ion are standard attractions to the people ues! gf this and otber localities. An item of peculiar iuterest is furnished when we add that over, 100,000 of the superb Dieboid & ’Norris safes are mow in~ use. The Company, alwsys _very strong, has recently fortified itself by the ac- quisition of new Directors, all of whom are solid men in_position and _wealth, representing over 515,000'080. In fact this great Company is practically backed by the entire wealth of the city of Canton, O., and is undoubtedly the richest and most responsible safe-manufactur- ing organization in cxistence. t is estimated that 5,000 ladies congregate duily around the magnificent pavilion of Chiarles Gossage & Co. Asthe ZTimes pertinently re- marks, thisis a handsomer showing than is made of ladies’ toilets by any one firm exhibit- ing at the Centennial. “We understand that Messrs. Gossage & Co. are to have one of their memorable “ fall openings” on the 27th inst. Science has never done & mare uscful thing than perfecting a process by which timber can be preserved indefinitely. This is sccom- plishied with complete excellence and eatisfac- tion by the National Timber-Preserving Com- any, of which Mr. J. C. Cooper, No. 125 Dear- orn street, is the Chicago agent. By means of lydraulic or other pressure applied to the log, this Company not only forces the preserv- ing fluid into every pore and fibre of the wood, but also drives out the pernicious sap and albumen which is the chief source of decay. A sample of the mechanism, to- gether with s%ccimcns of wood preserved in this manner, are shown at the Exposition. Timber can be treated by’ the process in question at a nominal expense, and when ontce prepared its durabitity is infinite. Lumbermen, and the trude in freneral, will fiod this exhibit of pecul- iar interest. The Knebe pianos are the supreme atéraction of the Centennial Musical Department. The samc peerless' make of piuos are the chief feature of musical intercst at the Chicago Ex- position. Here they are supplemented by the admirable Bauer piancs, and the display thus becomes a positive treat to all musicians, whether professional or amateur. Mr. Julius Bauer, who occupics the most prominent busi- ness location in Chicago,—the corner store of the Palmer House,—is General Western Agent for these perfect pianos, The substantinl and smoothly-working mech- anism _perfected by D. M. Weston, and known as the Hydro-Extractor, attracts as much atten- tion and’is the subject of as much favorable comment as anything ever exbibited in Chicago. Proprietors of woolen factories, laundries, hosigries, ete., find it of remarkable interest. It accomplishes the work of drying fubrics with a swiftuess and thoroughness never noted by us in eny invention yet bronght to public attention. One ~of these imachines can also be seen at the Palmer House, while others are in use at the Palace Hotel, San Fraucisco, and oth- er places, where their practical value is s:mlfnrly proven. Messrs. H. 8. Carter & Co., manufacturers and wholesale dealers in parfor furniturc, Nos. 1+ and 146 Lake street, arc Chicago agents for this admirable invention. Gold and other medals have been awarded the Hydro-Extractor by juries of prominent exhibi- tions. What may rightly be catled a_* brilliant ’ ex- hibit is that'of the Adams & Westlake Manu- facturing Company. This is an imposing cone, composed of a large number of locomotive head-lights, over 20 altogether. It is the inten- tion to have thesc lights burning on certain cvenings before the Exposition closes. The effect of such a dazzling pyramid of light will be more remarkable than any single exhibit to be secn at Philadelphia. Adams & Westlake will have the credit of eclipsing here in Chicago, even the briiliancy of the Centennial. One of the chief featurcs of interest to be found in_the gallery is situated close by the main stairway. This is the fine exhibit made by the Excelsior Manufacturing Company. of whicl Dr. A. J. Dexter, Nos. 18 and 17" TRIBUNE building, is President. This Company manufac- tures the famous ink and books by which letter- coping is achieved without the use of the cum- bersome and costly press, and without the incon- venicnt brush and water. The fact is, the busi- ness public is fast gettine to use nothing else for copying purposes but these admirable books and inks, and we find that all agents handling them have made and continue to make the hand- somest of incomes. The time will never come when billiard tabies will not have a remarkable interest for o large and fashionable proportion of every communi- ty. Ancxampleof thisinterest is manifest in the crowds which daily dok around the exhibit of superb billiard tables made by Adolph Zeller, Nos. 24t0 32 West Washington strect. Such beautifal woodls; such grace and convenience of form; and such uniform excellence of cushions, have never been, aud are not likely to be, seen in conuection with the billiard tables of any other house. What is more fascinating than the study of optics, whether for pleasure or instruction? 'The interest taken in this art is evinced by the atten~ tion which the superb exhibit of Manasse, Chi- cago’s leading opt! , attracts at the Exposi~ tion. His dispiay is just where it rightfuily be- , in one of the most couspicuous paris of Ton, the building, near the great fountain. — Every- thing pertaining to the optician’s art is shown av his staud. Mr. Manasse's store is_at No. 88 Mudison street, in Tug TRIBUNE Buildiog. It will be no fault of the Western Toy Com- any if the people of the West do mot now learn how unnccessary it is to look away from Chicago when in search of standard and novel things to amusc aud interest the children. A renerous space is occupied by this Company at %hc Exposition with a tine exhibit of the various beautiful toys, great and small, made by thewn. The display is admitted by all ors to be peculiarly extensive and complete, and will prove entertaining alike to young and oid. Retail dealers in toys will find it peculiarly ad- vantageous to examine this exiiibit, and to_ call at the Cumpany’s works, Nos.495 and 497 North Wells street. The windows of a saddle and harness store are always among the most uttractive of city sights, and the display of one firm in this line of business commands as much attention as anything at the Exposition. The house of Ortmayer, Lewis & Co. makes a beautiful ex- bibit of their goods, and one that elicits uni- versal adwiration. This firm manufsctures and deals in the handsomest, most artistic, and most durable harness, saddles, horse-collars, whips, and other equine paraphernalia to be found in all Chicago. Elsewhere in this issne will be found the advertisement of one of the most striking dis- coveries of the age,—the indestructible Asbes- tos. This makes the most enduring paint, varnish, lubricating ofl, ete, known to the world. Tt fs absolutely firc-proof, and defles the action of time completely. Mr.J. W. Har- bach, sole agent here, who is at 85 Washington street, hos an interesting exhibit of the Asbestos preparations at the Exposition. Directly opposite the Exposition Building on ‘Wabash avenue, fs the establishment of Chi- cago’s oldest, best-known, and most suceessful caterer, Wright. For the furnishing of wed- dings, balls, soirees, and other entertainments, | there has never been, nor is there likely everto | be, aman who does such elegant work and Ives such supreme satisfaction as Wright. He the mo of caterers, peerless and mnri- valed; the conceded chief of his profession. YELLOW FEVER. The Death-List Increasing at Savannah— The Disease Raging Fearfully at Bran wick, Ga.—Ald Sadly Needed. SavAnsanm, Sept. 23.—Totalinterments to-day, 46, of which 80 were from yellow fever. The Savannah Bencvolent Association, formerly the Metropolitan Fire Company, resolved to-day to ask aid from abroad for thesick and destitute.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 23.—There is no cpidemic in Charleston. There have been four seatterine yellow fever cases traced to persons who com- municated with Quarantine and refugees from Savannab. The fever shows no signs of spread- ing. iu.-mgou, Sept. 23.—To the General Agent of the Waestern Associated Press: In reply to your application for an official statement in re- gard to the prevalence of the yellow fever in this city, we positively state there is not a case of ieunw fever in Baltimore. All cases of typho-malarfal fever which prevailed at Falls "oint, 12 in numbe, were removed to the Ma- rine Hospital on Wednesday, and no new case Lias occurred within 60 hours. (Signed) FERDINAND C. LATROBE, . Mavor of Baltimore. JAMES A. STUART, M. D., Commissioner of Health. Itis proper tostate that Somc 63 persons were removed to the Marine Hospital, but cu- tire families were removed in which a single case of fever prevailed. AuGuSTs, Sept. 23.—There are 600 cases of yellow fever at Brunswick. The people are in a most destitute condi- tion, without food, physicians, or nurs A dispatch states that it is impossible to ¢ gerate the frightful condition of affairs, and somc of the people will dic from starvation unless speedy aid is rendered. NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 23.—The Mayor of Brunswick, Ga., telegraphs an appeal to the Howard Association for aid.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 23.—~The Special Com- mission on Postal Railway Secrvice met here this morning, and were met by a committce ap- pointed by the Board of Trade and deputations from leading mercantile and banking interests of the city, who made statements in_regard to the necessity of increased mail facilities, AN agreed, and were of the opinion that there wus nearly 24 hours difference in the receipt of mails from New York and the Eastern States by the fast mail, and the same time saved in re- miittances of exchange and in the collection of drafts and checks from the towns on the line of the fast mail; that the saving of interest alone was much more than the entire cost of the fast mail. Mr. Sherwin, Postmaster of this city, also gave particulars of the detention of the mail by the withdrawal of the fast mail train, and stated that be had no doubt that the revenue of the Department from the letter cor- respondence of Cleveland would be increased £0 such an extent by the fast-mail as to equal the increased cost of the service which would be proverly assessed upon Cleveland as her share; that the whole correspondence and a large portion of the newspaper mail that was sent by the fast-mail now gues by express, and pays postage in addition to the express charges. —— THE OLD SETTLERS OF CHICAGO. Mr. Mosher has framed 416 old settlers’ pho- tographs in one group, with their names and year they came to Chicago, which is a valuable histori- cal collection, and is on exhibition at his gullery, 951 Wabash avenue. Also has cabinet photographs of all the editors, clergyman, physicians, attor- neys, and Judges of the Courts of Chicago; each profession framed separately in gronps at the Ex- position Bnilding, and copies of them are for sale at his gallery. He is making his beautiful cabinet photographs at the reduced price of $7 per dozen. e * A GOOD RECOMMENDATION, On account of continued ill-henith Tam compelled to retire from the photographic business, which I hove carried on successtally for over 16ycars.
