The Vienna corrospondent of tlie London Tintes, writing under dnte of Sept. 24, gives the dotalls of the English proposals recently 1aid before the Porte, which it will be re. mombered had proviously received tha gen. oral assent of the other Powars, 'The pro- posals are classed undor throe heads. The first domands the aslatus quo antebellum, “roughly,” for Sorvia und Montenegro. Tho word **ronghly” was inserted so as to allow of modifications or discussions of questions of secondary, importance, such as somo kind of formal satisfaction from Turkey for the jnvasion of Servis, and some roctification of tho frontier of Montencgro, such 28 Russin would be likely to demand. The second point proposes thoe signing of a protocol with tho representatives of the Powers in Con- stantinople by which the Porte would givo Bosnia and Herzogovina a systom of local Government that would give the population of those provinces control over their own local alfairs and guarantees egainst the oxer- olse of arbitrary power. Tha third proposal rolntes to Bulgaria, and provides that tho gamo guarantees sgainst molndministration ghall be given that province. ' These points, sent to the English Minister by Lord Denpy, are, it will be seon, identical with thoso proposed by Mr. Grapstone in his pamphlet upon the Bulgarian atrocitios, and indicato that the Tory Government, rather than lose its power, kns retreated from its former position, and yielded to tho popular of the power behind the thronoe, Although the Powers have given their ns- gant ta these three propositions, it is by no means cortain that they will seoure peace or sottle the distracting questions at issue, Tho proposals ore not & formal trenty, but only the basis for a treaty like those of Villa- franca and Versailles, which admits of discussion. Turkey has not yet signi- fised her acceptance of them, nlthough three or four woeks have clapsed sinco they were presonted, sud in the intorim England is cniling for a conference of the RPowors, A difficulty has alrondy arisen with regard to tha conferonce. Russin, Lngland, Italy, France, and Austria have givon their consent {0 the conferonce, Gormany is ominously gilent. Tussis domonds that Turkey shall not be ndmitted to the conferonce, while Austria domands that all tho signatory Pow- ers, which would include Turkey, Servia, and Montenogro, siall bo present. Another complication threatonsin the futurc also, If Turkey refuses tho Lnglish proposals, Rusasia and England might agres upon somo plan of military ocoupation, but Germany Lisa joined Austris in refusing the proposal of occupntion. Meauwhile, Russia, acting upon tho nssumption that there ¢an bo no poace, is continuing her military proparn- tions, In viow of theso proparatious, thero ia » panic om tho 8t. Petersburg: Exchange, Tho reserves have been forbidden to leave their places of reaidence, and Roumanis has boon offered absolute independence if Rus- sion troops are allpwed to march through its territory, If thoss signs mean anything, they mean that Russia either belisves war instances of his contompt for live soldiers; here is a sample of his contompt forn dend soldier, and that soldior one of his own rela. tives! Ienving out the question of loyalty, we wonld ask whoro can an justanco be found of moro despicablo monnness sud sordid cupldity than the act of this man TiLDEN, who with n fortuno of $8,000,000 refused to give forty dollarsso that his nephow's wifo might Liave the body of her doad husband? ‘There aro works dovoted to the meanness of misers, Soarch them nud seo if anything menner can bo found than this, The chronicles of the War dnys sre full of incidents showing tho batrd of Robols for Northern soldiers. Bearch them and see if thero is anything more bit- tor than tho hatred of the Northern Copper- head for his own nophew becauso ha was a Union roldier,—a hatred which did not even. closo at tho grave, which usually clogos over all enmities angd hntreds? This single act of Trpex's, howaver, is in keeping with all the sots of his life. The man who would do- fraud the Governmont of his income.iax, who would swindle his employes with shin- plasters, who wonld cheat his tradesmon by pleading tho statute of limitations, who would insnlt livitg soldiers, who would con- gort with Tweep in ballot-box.stufing, who wonld deliberatoly commit perjury to aveld paying his taxos, would not hesitate long in | refusing to aid one of his blood relations in proouring tho dead hody of her soldier boy. Is such a man sultable for tha Presidency ? Putting one side his well-known reputation for dlsloyalty, what has he done as a citizen or as 8 momber of society that his name should be mentioned in connection with the Prosidency ? old atory of the great fire, wo think the occa- sion of the suniversary & fitting timo to call tho attention of our citizens toa considera- on of what has baon done during the five years that have clapsed sinco our people looked out upon the vast arca of desolation in the 10ty of October, 1871, With the smoke and ashes of the confla- gration thero disnppeared scres of wooden buildings which had covered the larger part of the arca within the burned district. Bo- fora tho city muthorities conld maturs a proper fira ordinance, numcrous wooden buildingswore conatructed, especially as resi- dences, on the old sites. The new ordi- nance, imperfoct Re it was, wasnot put in oporation until March in 1872, and nt beat was but a mero enlargement or extansion of the limits within which wooden buildings wera prohibited, The cost of building ma- terials and of labor, and tho suddon incrense of populationattendantupon thorebuilding of tha city, gave strength to the opposition to the enactmont of 8 stringent building law. 1t wna not until tho second conflngration, in July, 1874, had shown the oxtreme dangor that the City Council could be induced to prohibit the ercction of wooden buildings within the city limits. This arvest of thein- crenso of woodon structures has proved to ‘have been n wise measure in every sonso. It Las proved most profitable to the owners of property boyond tho Jimita of tho old fire. Tho rebuilt portion of tha city haa no general equal in any part of the United States, cither ns to the architoctural taste, the quality of tho materials, thosizo and durability of the buildings, or the careful provision for the provention and extinguishmontof fires, But {n various other parts of the city proviously devoted exclusively to wooden buildings the hand of permanent improvement has been busy; the wooden structures have measura- bly given way 1o a fino class of brick and stono buildings both for residences and stores, Frome buildings have become to bo regarded a9 o injury to real estato, aod in cases of salo but little value is given to the wooden structure, Building matorial, especially brick and stone, has beon go low since 1873 that the superior economy of permanent baildings has bocome generally recognized. Tho ercction of this better class of build- ings has led to the wide oxtension of street improvements, to the great comfort of the inhabitants, the beantifying of the city, and the increased valus of the proporty. The lessons of the fire have not baen per- mitted to pass unnoticed. Ohicago has ad- dressed Leruclf to tho enlargement snd por- foction of her water sapply. In 1871 we hiad but one five-feot tunnel from the lake, This has been supplemented by the comple- tion of an additional tunnel soven feot in di- ameter. This tunnel s been carried to the southwestern part of the eity, where now and castly distribnting works have been orected. The city hos been encircled by continuous water maing of thirty-six-inch dinmeter, aod theso connected by other large maing ecarrying an inexhsustible supply of woter inta every meighborhood. Twenty immonse and inoxhauatible cistorns have beon copstructed ot conveniont points, cach capable of supplying the Fire Departmont with an abundance of waters In many dis- triots whers tho original service pipe wos amall, eight and twelve inch pipo has been 1nid exclusively for the supply of tha fire-hy- drants. In tho matter of fire-walls nbove the e t—— e Elghty thousaud Democratic majority is the Assocluted Press report of the clection in Geor- gls, which news In this heated political scason 18 recelved with utter fndifference, because it {8 newa to nobody, It Ia what everybody expect- ed, Had there been any concelvable motive for rolling up a bigger majority, therelsno reason to doubt the Georgla Democracy would have done It as easily as rolling off a log, Tha shot- gun, and the White-Live terrorism, and the In- famous poll-tax vontrived to disfranchise the blacks, were good for any majority that was wanted. Itssomo years since there was an electlon In Georgia which was an cxpression of the popular will, nstcad of o mers record of the results of o shot-gun canvass, But, as often as there hins been even a partlal tolerance of frec- dom of the ballot, {t has been shown that both partles are altost evenly balanced, the prepon- derance belog on the side of the Republicans. The result now Is stmply the finale of the nulli- fieation of the Fiftecnth Amendment by the White-Liners of Georgla. The *nigger? who can look stralght Into the barrel of a White-Line shot-gun, and survive to make bis way to the polling-place, and wha, when he gets there, can produce the receipts showing that he has pald his polt-tax for every year since ho became subject thereto, may gt a chance to vote ns he plenses;. and, it the Democratic majority be 8o big that his vote e of no consequeneey he may feel reasonable assurance that it will be counted. But the frecdmen who look straight into the barrcl of ‘White-Lina shot-guns have for solong passed on, 0t o the polla but to the graveysrd, that there are few of that sort left, and thelr number was diminished py the explolts of Gen, BUTLER, of 1lamburg massacre, and those of his 1k who g0 sbound in Georgin, that they flnd time for ex- curslons Into South Carolina to regulate “nlggers” there. The example of Georgla, which I8 8o constantty held up by the advocates of the lost cause for the encouragement of the ex-Confederates {n tho other Southern States, proves how completely they nullify the Fif- teenth Amendment upon regafning tho asecnd- ency—which s preclsely what the example of Georgls Is clted to encourage thom to do throughout the lately Confederato States. e — s AMUSEME —————— The Democratic Connty Convention met yosterday, but was compolled to adjourn be- fore selecting County Commissioners. Tho Dball where tho delegates assembled had beon angaged for s danco-dn the evening, and the Convention was unceremoniously swept out beforo it Lnd completed its labors. The ticket 80 fnx as it has beon made up i8 wa follows: For States Attorney, EapenT Jau- 1850, Ameriean, who, much to his surprise, was elected City Attorney on the Convin tickot in 1878, For Sheriff, CmarLEs Keny, nlleged German, who was candidate for Bliorif in 1870 and 1872, and unsuccesafal candidate for the nomination in 1874, For Coroner, Dr. Quirk, Irish, who has for years been in search of this or some other position. ‘For Recorder, Joun Comsrey, Irish, Jong » member of the Council, and nt present Clerk ,of the Board of County Commissioners. Tor Clerk of the Circnit Court, Eowanp Rumuen, German, who was clocted Secrotary of the State by the Republicans in 1868, who Liberalized in 1872, was ronominated for Sccrotary, and waa defented with tho rest of the Liberal ticket. ‘The Democrats have now shown their hand, have outlined the plan of their local campaign, and it becomea the duty of the Republican Convontion, which assembles to-morrow, to seo the situation as it really is, ond meat it squarely. In view of the com- position of the Domocratio ticket, it will not Qo for the Ropublicans to nominnte any but their Dest oud strongest men. They must mot leok to the ticket ta pull the nominee’ through, but must choose men who will add strength to the ticket. Just now it ia foolish to expect that the Presidentinl candidate will carry through wenk candidates for Sheriff, Coroner, or any other local office, If the Convention is wise it will, in maling its seloctions, shun men who have for yeara been prominent 25 offico- seekers,—men of whom the people are aick and weary,—and choase those whose hon. caty, high charaater, and popularity make them fit ond avallable candidates. Buch mon ean be elected, oven against tho com- bination roprosented by the Turner Hall nominees. To put in the field a veteran carps of office-hunters, destitute of qualifi. cations or popularity, will bo equivalent to courting defeat. + Wool’s Musenin. ‘Monree atrest, between Dearborn and Etate.

It was not doing falrly by the Mother Country to put the on. tire responsibility for this transaction upon her. It was a joint stock operation in which citizens of both England and the United States—but neither Government—were concornod. Thoe ecartridges were manufac- tured in Conneoticut, and shipped from New Haven to the East in an English vessel, The Americans found no market for their warlike goods in this country, and willingly disposed of them to Englich speculators, on whose ac- count thoy hove been shipped to Turkey to bo purchated -for Ottoman use, if thero can ‘be an agreemont upon terms, Publio senti- ment in England is so decidedly anti-Turkish that this little oporation in military stores and supplies can bs proparly characterizod only ns the act of sn individual, and not of tho country. Geonax W.

No party can separate ftself from its post. The men and the viewa that compose the Democratle party cannot be Instantly changed, nor can the progress and development of the country to-lay be independent of its condition yesierday,” The Democratic party, lie says, cannot change fts nature or its fustincts. It is “the same old organization which Lins always proclatmed State Sovereiguty as the fundamen- tal priucipie of the system, and which in Its Convention and by its Representatives in Con- gress has pronounced the amendments to the Constitutlon that followed the War to be revo- alutfonary and vold, and which hos nominated a Carnous Demourst for President, and for Vice- Presfdent s Senator wha voted sgalust every one of the asmendments, There weve many who vere at flrat nltured by the cry of roform; but when they reflect thot it {8 raised by those who Lavenever shuwn auy desire forreform, and whio® have a burning craving for ofliclal plunder and power, they perceiva that tho Democratlc chorus for reform curlously resembles the shearing of awine—great ery and Hitle wool.” ————— Mnj.

OHIO*AND IRDIANA. Tho great struggle at the polls begins this morning in Ohio and Indiana. Tho result of this day's voting may determine tho Presi- dentinl contest. It is no hyperbole to sny that the eyes of the whole Union are fixed on thoso two States, and that the telegraph roports to-night will bo scanned with tho deepest interest by politicians snd public mon who will not wait for the morning pa- pers to sunounce the result.. In Ohio, the struggle on the part of tho Republicans is to hold tho State. Last fall they rvescued it from the Democrats by 5,644 majority, on a poll of noarly 600,000. Tho Domocrats ‘West Virginin votes for State officers and Congrossmon to-day, In August last it was thought that there wos a chance for a Re- publican victory, but 4 moro careful inspec- tion dispelled tho hopo, and since then noth- ing lins beon done outside to contest the Stato with the Confoderates. West Virginis constitutes one of the ¢ Bolid Bouth ™ which tho Confederates have resolved to carry by such mensures a8 may be necessary, from argument to assassination. Two years ago the voto in the State on Congressmen was as follows : Yesterday closed one of tho most aetive and bard-fought campaigns ever known in Indinna.

Wo belleve tho Republicans will “hold the fort.” It is wuscless to gpeculata on mojorities. Any majority will do. If the Republicans have 1,000 ma- jority, it will secure the State to Harzain November by 10,000, for, againat Tiroex, he is considerably stronger in Oblo than the straight Republican sirongth at tho election to-day. Indiana is more dubious and uucertnin, It hos been an uphill fight with the Republic~ ans from the opening of the campmign. At {ho last party trinlof atrength—~—that of 1874 —the Domocrats swept the State by 17,252 majonity on aheavy vota; and in 1872, after aanost dosperate contest and lavish use of -snoney on both sides, the Democrats elooted Henpuiors Governor by 1,148 majority, on the largest vote ever cast in the Btate.

He wns an openly-avowed Copperhend, and in his publio speeches warmly advocated Btate-Rights, and an- nounced that Le would opposo any effort of tho Government to coerco the South into the Union. He was trueto his word. He op- posed tho War from first to last, nover con- tributed a ccnt out of his immenso fortune to ald the Governmont, never spoke o word | to encourage the eoldier, novar took part in any of the numerous meotings called to sup-~ port the Govornment, In addition to the reasons of which we have spoken, wo now commond another to suel soldiors as may be intending to vote for the man who romained at home, and liko other cowardly Copper~ heada kept up the fire-in-the-rear, instead of earrying out the dactrine and meoting tha do~ fenders of the Union in front.

Bosides being the most capajlo and popular military ofllcer of the Kingdom, Gen.
