spoke of this as showing that this question of freight railroads and cheap transportation was engaging the attention of foreign capitalists. Now, as New York is supremely interested in the matter, surely capitalists and public spirited men can be found here to create the facilities for an outlet of Western produce and to hold the trade of the West. Foreign capi- tal could be obtained if necessary, as Senator Morton shows, if our citizens will devise a practicable plan and set to work earnestly to carry it out. King Carrot in Washington. It was the legitimate province of a French mind to imagine the creation of a king, by the magician’s power, out of a carrot, and to lead tus through all the extravagances and follies in which sucha monarch must necessarily in- dulge. No person but a Frenchman would jhave hit upon so happy and effective a method of placing before the world in a strong light the absurdity of clothing with the robes of authority and power a figure only fitted for the ridiculous, or would have succeeded so ad- mirably in pointing a moral through the in- strumentality of a broad burlesque. ‘Le Roi arrotte’’ may huve been intended as a sarcasm upon the French Empire under the Imperial clown, but it has a wider application. There are many King Carrots in the world, and the age ef Coesarism is necessarily the era ot ihcir creation. President Grant wields something of a magician’s power. He waves his wand of au- thority and calls into public life people of such obscurity that they may be said to have had no prior existence. He sprinkles a few drops of federal patronage over a questionable character and raises him at once to honor and dignity. He goes down into the vegetable garden of political lite, and, digging not only among the carrots, but among the small pota- toes and beets and mushrooms beneath its Soil, raises to the surface such specimens as please his taste and shapes them into the sem- blance of official kings, If their original nature will insist upon cropping out and showing itself above their fictitious characters it is no more than we are taught to expect by the moral of ‘Le Roi Carrotte.”” A great fuss is being made over the recent appointment of a Governor of the District of Columbia. If we are to judge from the commotion it has created among the politicians and the noisy clamor that has followed its announcement we may well believe that the ty of the nation is bound up in the little piece of territory which at present contains the federal capital, and which will continue to contain it, no doubt, until common sense prevails and the seat of government is transferred to New York. This tempest in a teapot has boen raised because a member of the clique upon which has been bestowed the unenviable modern ap- pellation of a “‘ring’’ is advanced to the Gov- ernorship of the District. The Washington “zing,” we are told, is justified and endorsed by the honor that bas been conferred upon its chief, and we are forewarned that henc6- forth the national capital will be given up as a prey to the spoiler. As Tammany improved and beautified New York while plundering its treasury, 80 we are assured the government of the District of Columbia, while improving and beautifying Washington, will clean out the Jast dollar from its exchequer. We do not know how much foundation there may be for these apprehensions, but the nation has been so freely and frequently plundered that we are beginning to get accustomed to the operation. If Washington is to be ruled by King Carrot it must expect to submit to all the antics so artistically represented in the Frenchman’s burlesque. The national capi- tal will only be called upon to enjoy its share in the effects of that spirit of Cesarism which confers its best honors upon mediocrity, advances to places of trust men of question- able official probity and makes the creation of King Carrots a possibility. Tom Farxcn Proresrants AND THE Boun- sors.—It is one of the curious facts of the hour that the French Protestants have, in large numbers, petitioned the Assembly, protesting against the establishment of o monarchy. It is only some two weeks sinco ‘we were told that M. Guizot, the great French Protestant leader, had expressed himself as disatisfied with the Bourbon fusion. M. Guizot knows what the French Protestants think and feel in regard to the restoration and the entire Bourbon cause. He thinks and speaks for them, and they stand by him. To our minds this expression of French Protes- tant sentiment means thatthe Count de Cham- bord cannot with their consent be King of France. It means more—it means that if the Count de Paris does not know the meaning of the revolution of 1832 the French Protestants do not want him for King, In the matter of restoration of the monarchy the French Protestant influence is not to be despised. If not bulky it is intense. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. —— Secretary Belknap is at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel. Secretary Delano returned to Washington last night.

THE NEW YORK HERALD. [From Frank Leslie’s Ulustrated Newspaper.) Every purchaser of the Illustrated Newspaper this week 18 entitled to receive our supplement, which is a fac-simile of the frst number of the NEw York HERALD as issued by the elder Bennett. Among the advertisements in the little sheet is one by Horave Greeley, announcing the publication ofthe New Yorker. it is hardly fair to make a comparison of the HERALD of 1835 with the HERALD of 1873, Tobe sure, the paper on which it was printed in 1835 was good, as will be seen by our supplement, which perfectly reproduces it; the type was ciean and clear, and the writing was careful and entertaining; but people are likely to say that it was a very little thing. In our re- production there are absolutely no imperfections. We have not even the creases and blurs on the time-yellowed paper. But that little newspa- per cloud, scarcely larger than a man’s hand, was destined to cover the whole journalistic heavens from Yreka to Ujijl. The HeRavp to-day is, in fact, the same HERALD, with the same qualities, What appears old and little in the HERALD of 1835 was as new and as large as anything that appears in the HERALD of 1873. The Bennett who manages the HeRAup to-day is of the same material as he who founded it. The Livingstone Expedition had its origin in the money Market report invented by the elder journalist. ‘The discussion on Cresarism isa fit supplement to the fight on Pierce. The resources are different: the man is the same. The management of the HERALD has always been marked by resolute dar- ing. Like the waves of the sea, the paper has lived because it has always been in agitation. We are moved by no enthusiasm when we say that, taking it from 1835 to 1873, the HERALD has been the great- est newspaper the world ever saw. ARMY OF THE CUMBEKLAND, Annaal Reunion of the Organization— Characteristic Specch by President Grant—Addresses by Gonerals Sherman and Sheridan—A Hearty Recognition Between Two Old Veterans. PitTsBuRG, Pa., Sept. 17, 1873. A large and enthusiastic audience was pres- ent at Library Hall to-night, on the occasion of a reunion of the Association of the Army of the Cumberland. President Grant, Gen- erals Sherman, Sheridan, McDowell, Hooker, Governor Hartranit gnd other distinguished fei Ware present. The President was in fuil evening costume and looked in good health. When called upon for a speech he came up promptly, and evidently had it al! ready to spin out, but some one called out “Louder.” This embarrassed the President greatly, and the speech he had in his mind took wings. He stam- mered and hesitated, something like a schoolboy. The prolonged and hearty cheers of the vast audi- ence appeared not to have its accustomed effect in putting him to ease. However, on glancing about, he recognized many old comrades, and the recog- nition seemed to have a beneficial influence upon him, for he immediately after commenced, amid profound silence :— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—It affords me great pleasure to meet my old comrades—(cries of “Louder!” and “Go in!’ followed by laughter) — with whom Ihave had the pleasure of serving— (cries of ‘Louder !")—upon the fleld which their acts have rendered so glorious. I am glad and happy to be with you to-night. The President then retired amid loud cheering, and Generai Sherman came forth and made, per- haps, the neatest ane most graceful little speech of the evening. He was followed by Generals Sheridan, Hooker, McDowell, Merrill and Governor Hartrantt, after which the society adjourned till this morning. The men who created the greatest enthusiasm mong the audience appeared to be Sherman and SRerigan, for Whon either appeared before the footlights the dpplauss Was Unusually loud and continued for some minutes. On adjournment a bevy of ladies made @ rush for “Little Phil,” whose terpsichorean Se eg td on the stage éx- cited much merriment, The President, who dur- ing the epeechmaking business was as demure as a graver » Was forced to St this pro- ceeding. This perhaps is the joiliest reunion the Army of Cumberland ever had, and all who are here and have had connection with it are bein: entertained. General Hooker arrivi noon, with the President, and both the Monongahela House, where there was a deal of hand-shaking. Just was about to retire pal en should rest pres him but General McDowell’ “Why,” he ejacula' “4{ that ain’t old Mo, |” there was the heartiest of handshaking, which McDowell broke silence by saying, ‘Joe, you are as mean as the very ' devil to ride all night in the same train with meo-and never let me know you were there!” To which remark Hooker replied that if he weren't cripple and had as many sound limbs and were active as McDowell, he would have been all over the train hunting up comrades.

A railroad war prevails in this section which excites much attention throughout the Northeast. ‘The Eastern and Maine Central lines are in active hostility with the Boston and Maine Ratlroad, The latter claims a right of connection under the laws of the State and the former refuse it. A large force of men trom the Boston and Maine inserted a “frog” last night, and the people on the other side tore it out, When the morning passenger train from the Grand Trunk backed down the locomotive that was lying on the track where the frog had been taken out backed down on a wharf, and belore the frog could be again inserted the locomotive came back behind a train, 80 that the Boston and Maine was blocked. There was a large crowd of interested spectators, railroad employés and idiers gatherea around. At one o'clock in the afternoon, when the Grand Trunk had the right to the track, and the trains had passed from the upper depot to the Grand Trunk, Superintendent Furber, of the Bos- ton and Maine, stepped to the engineer of the loco- Motive that was stationary om the track, and ordered him to take his engine out of the way. The engineer responded that his orders where to remain where he was. Immediately sevoral stalwart men jumped into the cab of the engine and backed ft out oi the way, while another force of men sprung to the switches above and below and spiked them, awother force proceedin, to replace the frog. This work was all compiete by & quarter to three o'clock P. M. Immense crowds of people covered the piles of lumber and surrounded the scene of action. When the last spike wus driven a band that had been sent to the spot by the friends of the road struck up a lively air, ang the crowd gave three enthusiastic cheers, Injun ns were served at eleven o'clock, Thore is a strong force of em- ployés present, as well as a large number of ex- cited oltizens., Several focomotives stand near at hand on both lines; some of them with platform cars in front of them.

SPLENDID WORK OF THE FIREMEN, The Fire Conquered After a Gal- lant Straggle. TOTAL LOSS FROM $250,000 TO $300,000, CuIcaao, IL, Sept. 17, 1873, About three o'clock to-day fire broke out in the lumber district, near the corner of Seventeenth and Haisted streets, and burned with tne greatest fury, spreading over a distance of a mile and carry- ing destraction with it. The wind was biowing a gale from tho southwest and forcing the flames a long distance in advance. The entire Fire Department was immediately out and worked splendidly, but tor a time without avail, Intense excitement prevailed, many belicv- ing that they were about to witness a repetition of the awful scenes of 1871. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE, The fire originated in a large woeden shed used by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and North- western ratiroads for storage and transfer of hay, situated at the corner of Newberry avenue and the railroad track, between Fifteenth and Six- teenth streets, One end of this shed was open, and the fre caught from a spark which flew iv from a passing train. Almost before an alarm could be sounded the entire shed, with its infam- mable contents, was A MASS OF FLAMES, and there being at the time aswift breeze from the southwest the frst engines had scarcely ar- rived before the fire had spread to a row of wooden houses on the north,and from them to the buildings on the east side of Halstead streot. A SECOND ALARY was now struck, and soon afterwards a third, which called to the scene the entire Fire Depart- ment, which was soon at work with a courage and energy which challenged the admiration of every one. Meantime the streets in the line of the fire were literally swarming with people, burdened with every variety of household goods, rushing to Places of safety. Vacant lots west of Halstead street were soon covered with furniture, bedding, clothing, &c., which the fleeing inhabitants of the doomed dwellings had managed to save, INTRNSE EXCITEMENT prevailed in the neighborhood, and many people living several blocks from the line of the fire began to pack up and move their portable prop- erty. The dry goods firms of Field, Letber & Co., aud Farweil & Co., as soon as they heard of the extent of the fire, sent all their trucks and teams to the spot and placed them at the disposal of those whose houses were threatened, and they were all goon employed in removing those whose fears impelled them to seek SAFETY IN FLIGHT. One of the Omnibus lines also sent their vehicles to the relief of those who desired to leave the dangerous neighborhood. hat you have been disappointed.

Since that time he has occupied many distinguished Lb President of the Literary Club of Lima; Counseilor of Peru in the Mixed Commission to dectde Amer- ican claims in 1879-70, A foremost champion of the now successful civil régime, Dr. Tejeda leaves a blank not easily to be flied, The honors due to a grand marshal Ly given to lis memory, an@ his widow and children will receive the pen- sion accorded by the State, He died at the age of forty years, t Owing to the magnificent work of the fire de- partment, however, the removal of many proved | unnecessary. At Mitchell street the flames were stopped in their progress northward, while its spread in a westerly direction was STAYED ON THE WEST SIDE OF HALSTEAD STREET. The east line had not at any time crossed New- berry avenue, and the track of tne Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy Ratlroad formed the southern boundary. THE TOTAL LOSS $250,000 TO $390,000. The total loss by the fire is estimated at from $250,000 to $800,000, The total number of buildings destroyed is placed at sixty-four, only one of which—the packing house of Richard M. Oliver & Co.—was of brick, the remainder being wooden tenements, from one to three stories high, and occupied mainly as residences and stores or shops and dwellings combined, The Fire Under Control and the Danger Past. Curcago, Sept. 17—8 P. M. The fire is now under complete control, and not- withstanding the strong wind blowing from the southwest no further danger is apprehended. The people who, when the excitement was at its height, removea their goods from houses several blocks distant from the dre are now moving them back. The loss in the aggregate ts quite light for the space burned over, but the loss to the poor people rendered homeless is severe. The prairie west of the fire is covered with household goods, « Hoste Individaal Losses. ri Cuicaao, Sept. 17—Midnight. It is impossible at this hour to give any detailea statement of individual losses. They are, how- ever, divided among so many people that, with few exceptions, no person loses over $30,000, Seligman Heilbron, manufacturer of furniture, loses $27,000; fully insured. The loss by the burning of the hay depot, where the fire started, cannot be ascertained, but will probably not be over $10,000. One freight car standing on the track of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad was burned, whe The News in Washington. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 1873. ‘The news of the destructive fire in Chicago this afternoon was generally known throughout the city to-night, and the latest particulars were eagerly sought at the telegraph office, The Col- lector of that port was among the most anxious in- quirers, The first report left the boundaries of the conflagration uncertain, and as the bonded warehouse was full of valuable importations, the anxiety of this government official can be appre- ciated, When it was definitely announced that the fire was under complete control, and bad swept over only the poorer district, the crowd dispersed. Mr. Norman B. Judd said that after the great disaster two years ago, it was pro- posed to prohibit lumber yards within the city limits, but the opposition was so strong that the municipal government failed to carry out that plan; but he was certain now that this source of so many conilagrations would be forever removed from Chicago, and the dealersin lumber would be compelled to establish their yards at Calumet. General Sheridan will be authorized to extend to the suffering poor such aid and comfort as is within his power. It was wondered on ali sides how the fire fend had again defied the greatest precau- tions on the part of the Chicago authorities to pro- vent a repetition of the sad event of 1871; and while this calamity ts deplored it was the general remark that the city government of that city was at least responsible for permitting the river front vo be occupied as it has been since the city was re- bulit, FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.

Acircular issued by the Secretary of War to-day directs that officers of the army absent from their Stations in sections of the country infected by epidemic diseases, or irom stations that cannot be Treached without transit through infected localt- ties, are, after their leave of absence shall have ex- pired, authorized to delay starting to join their commands until the epidemic shall have subsided.
