Meanwhile, tho princi- pal fortified positions iu Afglnnistan are to be strengthened with a view to giving tho iuvaders a warm roception when they shall aake their appearance. It ia strongly hiuted that Russia will indireclly have a hand in theso winter preparations, and that Russian capital and military experionce will largely coter into the building of thess dofensive worka. Tho most destructive storin experienced for years swopt along the Atlantio coast yes. terday. The gale came from the tropics, sud waa predicted by the Sigual-Bervice off- cers three doys before it arrived. 1t isnot statud at what partioulsr point the storm struck tho cosst, but at Philadelphia the wind attaived a volocity of fifty-five miles an hour, and consequently made sad havog with church-steeples, lurge roofs, and Luildings constructed of light jatesials. Yho churches in Philadelphia particuladly sulfered wuch damage, ncarly all the' tall spires Loing toppled over, creating other und more sorious wrecks ju theirfall. In the country many buildings were unroofed, und cousiderable loss of life ix reportod.

No definite g~ THE CHICAGO counts have beon recoived s to the cffect of the storm on the shipping, but it is feared that the path of the hurricane on the const has been strowed with many casualties. No moaner or more senseless lis has been put in circulation by the T'imes in its frantio efforts to earn the price of its support of Kzrn for Bheriff than the assertion that Mr. Hormuax, the Republican candidate, aided in the gecape from justice of Avanx Moorr, the defaulting West Town Bupervisor, The story Is an Invention as shallow as it is ma- licious, and showa the desperale straits to which Kxan's organ is reduced in trying to injure & strong man and bolster up a wonk one. A brother of the absconding defaulter in the best possible authority for an emphatic denial. e states that AMr. Horraax, so far from secreting or in any way assisling Avzry Moore to escape, was foremost in urging the most vigorous mensures for his apprehension, e——e— Tho jealousy of rival aspirants to fame’ and promotion often interfered with tha suc- cess of military operations daring the War of the Rebellion, and it is not surprising that the same baloful agancy ahounld make it. self felt in the campaign against the Indians in the West. It is alloged that through the tardinens of Gon. Gisox in forwarding to Gen, Mirzs at Fort Keogh information of the movements of the renegade Cheyennes in the diroction of the Yellowstone River thers was loat a fine opportunity to intercopt and give battle to tho hostiles. They lind crossed the river only seventeon milos from Fort Keogh and were beyond the reach of Gen. Mirs before information of their routs was forwarded to him, and they liave now got far beyond the possibility of successful pursuit, and are belioved to have joined Syrrive BurL's forces. Bomohow the bars wero left down aud the oattle got away, and if it is true, as asserted in a Bismarck dispateh, that Mries sttributes his Inck of information to Gmanon's fealousy of him, it ia probable that more will be hoard concern- ing thoe escapo of the Choyennes. ‘WESTERN CAPITAL AND TRADE. Judge Hivtox, of New York, in his die. course upon the kid-glove-importation busi- ness, insisted that the import trade of the conntry must bo dono not only at the Enst, but at Now York; that New York must not only import for the West, but also for Bos- ton, Philadelphia, and all other,parts of the country. That much of his romarks diroct- od especially to the West weo roprodaco : ** What is your opinlon 8 to tho efficacy of the Port-of-Entry bill as o bullding up direct Import- ng hou b 1 es in the Western citios? * You iean tho system of collecting the cas- tor X utice In the Wesi?* ar. " 1t lins heen such & complete fallure that it does not pay tho cxpenses of "tho hands engaged ln it. The Westorn importing merchants wili not compete with tnose of New York till thoy bave ulpllnl in proportion to engawe in the business. I° tell you, ' conciuded Judgo HiLtoxn, ** the imvort. ing business will reat In New York till the West- ern merchants have capltal enough to step over our heads and look out for those tn Enrope as well a8 o do. It cortalnly 18 no portion . ernmental providence to destroy thi city of the American merchant. We import at Now York not only for the WWeat and SBouth, but for Bostan,’ ‘I'ko point made by Judge Hivrron, that the West cannot do an importing bLusiness be- cnugo it has not the capital required, cor- tainly cannot apply to Boston, whero thoro is oll the capital needed for any kind of busgnosy. Is it any more true concorning tho West? Is not Judgoe Hrron reversing the order of things? Is it not truo that éap- itat will always find the place where it can Lo invested most profitably, and that, when it will pay a better profit toinvest in the import trade in the Waostorn cities,- the capital and tho trade will mutually seek tho West? This notion about the want of capital in the Wost, and consequently the nocoraity of tho West doing all its businoss in Now York, has boén protty thoroughly oxplodod, so far as this cily is concerncd, yoars ago, 5 'Twonty years ago Chicago was, so far as the grain trade waa concerned, a mere way- station on the road to Now York, and where grain was tranaferred from rail to water and tie Gov- thonce forwarded to market. Tho process then was for the grain to bo sent to & com. wission house in Ohloago, who would make some advances on 1t, and ship it henco by 1ake and canal to & commission house in New York, which city was then the grain market; ‘when he xold it he made returns here, and so back to the prodacer. In liko manner Chicago was a mere outpost in the provision bosiness. Pork and lard wore packed hore.and forwarded to & com- misslon housa in Now York, the commission merchant thoro moking advances until he sold tho goods. .The market was in Now York, A merchant in Momphis at that timo ordored Chieago packed mess pork, lard, cut ménts, ote,, etc,, from New, York, and the goods wore shipped thence ronud to Now Orloans, and up the Mississippi River to Momphis. Thowholo Bouth wassupplied with Westeru packed provisions from New York, sud all New Eugland was supplied from New York with Westorn grain and flour, All thia has boen of such comparatively recent date thut perhaps Judge Hizton may not have Leard that it has changed. ‘Tho argument then was that New York was then and would continue for all time to come to be tho solo maorket for exports, as ho uow claima it must ba for finporta, because Chicago did not bave tho capital ruquired. - Bo confident were tho 1iLToNs of that day in tho perpetual poverty of tho Waest aud the wealth of New York, that thoy robbed and plundered tha Wost from tho momeunt shipuonts entorsd the canal gates at Buffalo uutil the account of sales was returned. At overy lock the toll-gath. orer scooped out a share of the grain; in New York the tow-boat, the wharfage mas. tor, the demnrrago collector, the port ward. on, tho lighterage broker, the lnsurance man, and porhaps half-s.dozen others, all took toll out of the boat, and the commission man then made report of salea of what was left of the boat-load, and felt protty safe in the as. sumption that, so long as that kiud of busi. ness lasted, Chicago would neverhave enough capltal to compote with New York In the ex. port or any other trade. ‘The time, howeyer, did come when §t was moro profitablethat the grain market and the provision market should be in Chicsgo instoad of in New York; that it was moro profitable for New Eogland, and Old En. gland, and for the South to buy lard, and pork, and provisions generally, and flour, and grain In Ohicago than it wasto buy them in Now York; and, strange as it msy seem to Judge Hivto, the export trade, as well as most of tho domestio trade and the capits tocarry it on, appeared simultaneously in Chicago, and have jucreased with yofidorful rapidity ovor since, The capital found out where it was profitable to do and vemains thero with thq ptisincss. In the provision market it may surprise Judge Hivgox, to find the representatives Liéere of all tho Buropean countrics who deal in American provisions. They bring bills on Loudon, on F: ort, Paris, and Amster. dam ; they make their purchases here direct, and with no more reference to New York thao if uo such place existed. They Lave at Chicngo A ohoice of rontes for ocean freighta; they can make freight contrncts here, whether for breadstuffa or provisions, with ocean lines from Now York, Montreal, Phil- adelphin, Baltimore, or Boston, and in that export trade New York figures merely ad an Atlantio port, compoting with others for carrying the export trade of Chicago, Judge Hirron, had he boen as carafal an observer of current pvents at home s e has been of the progress of kid.glove production abroad, would havo recalled the atlempt of Vaspeepivr and the railroad combination, in the intereat of Now York, to compel Obi- oago,'somathing leas than two years ago, to submit to extortion, Navigation had closed .the only means of shipment to the const wna by the ratlronds ; the warehonses of Chicago were full, aud railrond freights were nd- vanced. Chioage grain-holders refusing to pay such rates, it became a question of en- durance—fluancial endurance—whether Ohi- cago could earry that grain in stors until navigation opened, or whether Chicago wonld submit to a heavy loss by submitting to the rail extortion, Capital determined the question. As i was much cheaper to pay storage and interest wuntil spring than pay one or two millions of dollars’ extortion to the railronds, capital decided to hold the grain. Elovators and warchouses all over the Northwost were filled, all the grain offered was purchased and put in store, capital was in abundance, and Obicago did not surrendor. NaroLroN sald that Providenco generally wna on the side of the best guns, and Judge 1liLtoN ought to know that capital ia more selfish than patriotic, and that, cven ns botweon Now York and Chicago, eapital will tako that side which offors the groater profits. When- evor and to the extent that it is moro profit- ablo to enrry on an import trade, or any other trade, in Chicago than it is in Now York, thon that trade wiil ba done hore, and the capital to do the business will always be found whoere the business oxists, 1t ia possibly true, as stated, that the im. portation of goods by Western merchants under the interlor Port-of-Entry bill has not been ns large as it would have baen had not the management and policy of tho Now York Custom-House beon always opposod to that law. It hos been notorions that importa. tions under that law have alwnys paid the full tax imposad by the Revenus law, and, as one-third of tho dutles on goods passing through the New ‘York Custom-Ilouse are not received by the Government, thore isa standing discrimination of 33 per cent against Wostorn importations under the Port- ol-Entry bill. The wonder is not. that tho importations have been small, but that there have been nny at all. It is not supposed, or expacted, or desired by any person in the Weat that New York will conse to do the great bulk of the import trade of the country; but whether that trade shall remain thore or be distributed to other points is not dependent on the quoc. tion of capital. Oapital is not s fixture; it does not pertain to the soil. The capital now invested in the import trado in Now York is always ready to leavo that city for Toston, Philadelphia, or any other place where it can do a more profitable businoss, Capital secks profit, and whenever the time shall come when it will be moro profitabls to import dircct to Chicago than to Now York, the business and all tho capital needed to carry it on, oven to manufacture kid gloves in Franco and to grow figs in Asla, will be forthcoming in abundanoe, 18 ANOTHER WAR IMPENDINGI Day by dsy the affairs of Eastorn Europe; which wore supposed to have Lwen' eatis. factorily sottlud by the treaties of Ban Stefano and Derlin, drift into worse con. fusion. Day by day it becomes more ap- parent that the Turks cannot any moro chango their civilization, which is basod upon almosat ten conturies of precodent and practico, or sot in operation the roforms they have agreed to make, than the leopard can change his spots. Day by day the con. viction grows stronger that the olomonts of nnother wararo slowly gathering,—a war that will be more gonoral in participation and moro radical in results and changos than the last one, It Is no secrot that Rusala, slthough sho eigned the treaty of Dorlin, was dissatisfied with it. It did not give her whot she wantod; nor, under the rule that to the victors bolong the spoils, that to which she was ontitled. It adds to hor irritation now that tho Turks show no intentlon of earrying ont the troaty at all, They not only have not earried out the reforms of adminlatration which they promised, bLut thoy have mnot taken tha first stop in that dirsction, +Thoy not only have failed to insure protection to the Olristians, but whenover tho Christians have been left to themselvea the work of persocution has beon resumed as it was un. der the old regime. It has always boen charactoristic of the Turke to procrastinato evon to the vorge of run. They now scem to have sunk into that hopoloss lothargy which Is the precursor of dissolution, Evon Evgland herself is growing discouraged, and the London Zimes, ropresouting the polioy of the Government, impatiently declaros ; 1f tha Turkish Ministers could free thomselves for one liour frowm tue obacura utmosphore of Cone stantinople, they would sce how peculiarly perii- bian 15 delay.

As the natural outcomo of this apathy, the provislons of the Berlin treaty aro not car- ried out, and the Russians remain in Tur- key, and will romain there lo s¢e them en- forced, either through the voluatary action of Turkey or by the bitter compulsion of another war. As Austria cut the Gordian knot of Turkish delay with the sword, so will Russia, and she was nover belter pre- pared to do it than ndw. This time she will not have to spend months of time in gotting across the Danuby, or fight bloody battles to gain the southern slopes of the Dalkans, Bhe s in actual possession of Turkoy, from the Dalkaus to the walls of Oonstautinople, Her troops in Bulgaria, instead. of wioving towards Russia, are movisg southward, She bas 80,000 infantry in Eastern Roumela.

In Asin Minor she has eslab- lished n strong foothold by the occupation of Kara, Ardahay, and Batoum, whilo in Con. tral Asin she has drawn England into a rup- turs with Afghanistan which she may, at hor own option, prolong into an oxhaustive war. By tho ennning of her diplomney she has placed England in a dilomma, oithor road from which must tend to Russian ad- vantage, The speedy advent of winter averts the immediate prospoct of war, but the winter anows cannot provent the continnance of Torkish ‘apathy and duplicity, the impossi. bility of roforms in Asia Minor, the danger- ous crisen §n the councils of Anstrin, or the dangerous dolays in ths Anglo-Afghan cam- pnign. The elements of confusion will con- tinuo at work simply becauss the Turks can. not excente roforms, and wonld not if they conld, There may s a peacefnl rond ont of all these complieations, but the outlook is not enconraging. ‘The same causes that procipitated war last year are agnin at work, The demands made by Rusain at that time still remain unsatisfied. Tho ravenge for DBerlin may come with the spring. THE ST, LOUIS FAILURB, The failure of Dopp, Brown & Co., the firm of Bt. Louis dry-goods merchants, is an important evont in the commercinl history of that city. Tt marks, or seoms to mark, o turning-pofnt of the rivalry betwoon St. Louls and Chieago. It involves the aban- donment of the Westorn dry-goods trade, for which Chicago and Bt.*Louis have long struggled, to the former city, The struggle hos for many years been an uuequal one, Clicago hna been acoumulating capital in wholesnle dry-goods eatablishments at & pro. digious rate. Thera are three such housos in Chicago, each of which annually doos twice to four times tho business reported to be done by Doobp, Brown & Co, Dut there has been until now nt least the show of com- petition between this 8t. Louis firm and tho Ohicago firms for the Bouthwestern trade. Clicago carried away tha most desirable business, even in that saction of tho country, which should nat. urally have ronght its market in 8t. Louis. Dopp, Browx & Co., in ordor to got business, were forced to extond impru- dently their line of credit. Thoy had on thoir books many names that could not probe ably have passed mnstor in Chiengo, Tha consequonce was that their businesa got be- yond their control. Their collections becamo more and more unsatisfastory, and they wore obliged to suspend with open accounts sufli- clent, if they could be collected, to meat all thoir liabilitios, Wo take no pleasure in naticing this fall- ure, nordo we prestune that it will, in the loug run, Lo o b;&n‘qnt to Ohicago.

'That is to say, the extravagance and stealing of tho past two years aro used s suflicient ronsons for justifying still greater extravagance and still more stealing thiscom- ing yenr, and the increased oxtravagance and stoaling Iaid out for tho coming year nro urged as good reasons why the people should mortgago their property $750,000 moro, It ia very much as if the County Ring should say plainly to the peoples, * Unless you vote us 8740,000 bonds, we must eilher stop squandering and stealing money out of the tax-lavy, or wo must suspond oporations on the Court-Houss; we do not propose to stop squandering and stealing the taxes, and hence wa shall §uit work on the Court-Housa unless you furnish us with oxtra money to procoed.” Mr. BeNNE has allowed himsolf to Lo put forward to justify this disroputgble stato of things. e inr'sts that more money shall bo spent this year than wns spent last year and the year before. It is safe toeny thiat, during the past two yeors, the County Bonrd has paid ont at least $750,000 moro money than wns nccossary. ‘The actual ex- pendituges in ngoneral way excoed the appro- priations by §600,000,—n part of which js ropresented by an illogal. indebteduncess; tho Court-Houso ** extras "—monoy pald over and above the contract price—amount to nearly $140,000 more, not counting the chango from limestone to granite for the columns and pilastors, which waoa likewise ‘' extra,” Had thoss extra expendltures been spared in tho Court-Ilpuso and in the mnintenance of the county inatitutions, the Ring would now HAyo'dd mubh noney on hand as they ask tho peoplo to vote inbonds. Thelr proposition ia to go on ot the same exirava- gant rate, and undoubtedly they will do so if tho bonds bo voted. The reply to this propo- sition s that the Loard muet lop off from this year's exponditures on amodnt equal to the nverago wasteand stealings forthelast two yoars, s shown by the oxtras and tho excess of expenditures over approprintions, ‘Chis courso would onablo the Doard to save at loast $300,000 out of this yoar's tax. lovy for work on tho Court-Iouse, The OChicago ZTimes said last Bunday, after nnalyzing the Items of expondi- ture, that $500,000 can be and ought to be ravod out of this yoar's tnx-levy, In that case, how can the Chicago Times Lon- estly justify the proposal to voto $750,000 in honds, over and above the tax-lovy ? If that Lo done, not a dollar will be saved from the tax.lovy; the only hope for coercing the Ring to retronch, whore retrenchment is clearly possiblo and urgently demanded, i for the people to refuse thom tho privilege of borrowing any more money, terost in having the work on the Court- IHouse proceed may then bo lively enough to induco them to retrench in their current ox- ponditures in order to have money with which to continuo the construction of that Luilding, The Times of Monday contamned an aasanlt on tho Anclont Order of Hibornians, a char- | itablo Irish organization, in which they wora spoken of as thugs and Molly Maguires, who were leagned with Joux Iorraax for some object not definitoly utated, but prosumably the overthrow of civil roclely aud tho defeat of Keny, Tus Tninuxe, on the following day, ruforred to the subject, and thought it did no more than its duty in dofonding this pencefnl Irish Boolety from the attack madae upon it by Keun's organ, And since Tug I'ninung was well nasured that the preseut Sheril could under no clrewmstances ba ve- elected, it went on to glve Lim some good; disintereatod advico as to tho mothod of running bis campaign, It was supgested to Lim that, siuce the Irish were alrendy sora over what they belioved to bo the fraudulent defeat of Warten McDoxary in the Conven. tion, it was hardly the proper way to win back s hot-licaded, high-blooded raco to have his journal, the Ztimes, nssail the Hiborniany as thugs, or insinuate that the hangiug by Kesn of two Irishmon wes ouo of tho chief reasovs why ho should be re- eleoted.
