THK Miwotiri '-Republican" excepts to the conduct of Gen. SKKHIDAN in calling out United Slates troops to preserve order and protect citizens during the recent calamitous tire at Ohicago.

Thomas Ewing.
The telegraph announces the death of the Hon. THOMAS EV.ING, of Ohio, from valvular disease of the heart, which occurred :it Si o'clock M., yesterday at Lancaster, Ohio. His obsequies will take place on Satmday. Mr. EWING has occupied many prominent positions of honor and trust and has clo.-ed a life of great distinction in his State and country. The Cincinnati "Commercial" of yesterday furnishes the following sketch of Mr EWING in anticipation of his death:
Hon. Thomas Ewing wa* born December 28, 1789. He wns married in 1820, to Maria, daughter of Hugh Boyle, of Lancaster. She died in 1864. Mr. Ewing has for several years been a sufferer Irom the disease of. which he is dying. Early in this month his symptoms became alarming, and on the 19th inst. lie had a severe congestive chill, which it was thought would terminate his life, but the wonderful vivality which had so long preserved him was not yet exhausted. His sufferings are great, butliH faculties are all clear. He lias exerted a great iufluence upon public affairs. He was a great maa among the giants of other days. Though prominent in public life, he has hardly had the conspicuity that his remarkable ability should have commanded. It was an accident and a mistake that he was not nominated for the Vice Presidency in place of Fillmore. A word —perhaps a careless one from an Ohio politician—gave what turned out to be
Presidency to Fillmore, and there is reason to believe changed immensely the current of American history. Mr. Ewing was defeated for the Senate by Colonel Allen by one vote, and by Ben. Wade by a scratch. Influential and distinguished as he has been, he missed by a narrow margin a career of vastly greater scope.
THK Missouri "Democrat" thus condenses and answers the recgnt Ku-Klux speech of FRANK BLAIR, at Montgomery, Alabama. It appropriately styles the ef. fort "a demagogue's appeal" and says:
He depicts the Chicago disaster, the plunderers that flocked thither, and the nation's beneficence for the sufferers. Thon he sketches the miseries of the. South during and in consequence of the war, and tells his auditors (hat no such benelicieuce was enlisted by her unhappiness, while the rogues swarmed to rob her of the little left her. This stroke accomplished the speaker's object, by capturing his hearero, to whom such a parallel implied every thing they coul wish in a political champion, and all the more so became it ignored that the South herself inflicted the war,that it cursed the whole land, that the nation furnished the victims, that Northern homes wer« desolated and Northern fortunes wrecked in the struggle, and that the nation's benificence was exerted both during and after the war to assuage its horrors even in the South. General Blair slanders his conntrvuien and falsities history to win Southern approval. He then opposes, as a politician who is a Southern favorite should, the advice of Wade Hampton and others, that the Southern Democrats ought not to go into the National Democratic Convention, and his arguments here~ in are sound. The fwuth ought to go in. He again rejects for himself the new departure, but ia willing, to take all the votes it can bring. He prefers a Republican nominee—he says—for his party, hut is against "the passive policy." His view is that the Democratic Convention should name the "Republican"—and in this does our Blair show his usual cunning, for only thus could such a a candidate hope for anything like an effective Democratic support. Next does the General wax magnamimous to the citir.ens of foreign birth, predicting that they will cast some half a million of votes for his nominee. Schurz commands the profoundesi homage of Blair, and i* pictured as holding the German votes in the hollow of his hand, to be given to the Democratic candidate. That imtuaculote personage proclaims himself an incorruptible Republican, and Blair embraces him as an unimpeachable Democrat 1
THE Chicago "Journal" reviews "the sensation" a fortnight after the great fire, iu the following hopaful words:
It is two weeks to day since the occurrence of the Great Calamity by which Chicago has been overwhelmed. It has been such a fortnight of anxiety and excitement, mental and physical, as no community has ever before passed through and survived. And we wonder that, under all the circumstances and trials, our community is in so good a condition, so full of the evidences of hope and pluck, as we to day lind it.
These eventful two weeks have passed with miraculous swiftness. To those lir-

day or two since the Great Ftrc. It has been a fortnight of days of hard work and nights of sleeplessness to
nja"y-
But we *ra recovering. The spirit of a new life is abroad. The energy of a new will and a new determination is at work. No one would have dreamed, on the day after the fire, that in two weeks so much could be accomplished as has been to reorganize the trade and commerce of the city, and to systematize and maintain its affairs of government and relief. When we now, on passing through the desolated districts, witness the many new buildings erected, and the numerous and unmistakable evidences of a general and speedy resurrection of the destroyed town from its ruins, it is almost an dimcult for UR to realize these veritable facts of life and restoration as it was, immediately after the great disaster, for a Cl'icagoan to fully realize the grim fact of the city's ruin.
All goes bravely on." Business is growing livelier, and conlidencc stronger every day. We do not repeat these cheering assurances to the public like one whistling to keep his courage up"—nor liketheboy who whistled while tremblingly passing a graveyard but because it is a statement of the truth.

CHICAGO OBSERVATORY.
CIIRCAGQ, Oct. 20.—There is fear that the Chicago Observatory, which contains the famous Clark telescope, .vill have to be suspended, owing to want of funds to continue it. It is under charge of Prof. Safford, of the city of Chicago, as a .corporation.
LOSSES BY THE FIRE.
The losses by the great fire in property are valued at five millions of dollars, consisting of bridges, buildings, damage to water works, destruction of engines and hose &c. The damage to street improvement is not included.
THE PERSONS BURNED.
The Journal says it is now believed that a large number of persons burned at the great fire were thieves, who in the asxiety for plunder remained in building .-) till escape was cut off.
THE COURT HOUSE.
The project which was much discussed before constructing the new wings to the Court House, to cover the whole of the Court House square with buildings, has been revivyd some since the fire. The proposition is to construct an immense building, which shall occupy the whole square. The first story to be composed of first class stores on all its four fronts, the upper stories to be devoted to the use of the city and county, a law institute, and offices for members of the bar, wide corridors to run on the first floor through the entire building, from Clark to Lasalle street, and from Washington to Randolph, with handsome fountains at intercepting points.
A PROPOSED ORGANIZATION. Bricklayers and masons are endeavoring to form an organization, in which each shall pledge himself to work at ordinary day wages for the purpose of rebuilding the city. They also wish that each should work under the supervision of an architect, and not for contractors, as the latter, charge exorbitant prices for work and say that masons compel them to do so.
UNION CANDIDATES.
All the papers in the city, the Times leading off, endorse the nomination of Mr. Medill for Mayor in the strongest terms. There will be little opposition to him. This is also true of Mr. D. A. Gage, candidate for City Treasurer, and Mr. Jameson for Judge of the Superior Court. The balance of the ticket is subject to revision and ataenrdmetit. There is an opposition organizing against the Union-movement, but none to the gentlemen named above.
RELIEF MATTERS.
The Chicago Relief and Aid Society are having numerous inquiries as to what is most needed by the sufferers in Chicago at present. Many of the letters say that persons are desirous of contribu° ting articles, who cannot well send money.
In reference to all such proposed con tributions, the Society wish to say, that nothing is so much needed now as beans, potatoes and onions. They are advised by their sanitary committee that they must have these articles if they expect to escape sickness. They are informed that many farmers would be glad to contribute these articles, and they ask all persons who can ship either onions, beans or potatoes to the Society, by a little co operation, car loads can be made up at the different places of shipment. The Society are also in want of straw beds of the usual size for two persons, and friends in the country are requested to furnish as many as they can. The ticking should be of strong material, and filled with clean straw or prairie hay. They are feeding and caring for over forty thousand people at the present time, with a very small stock of provisions on hand, and but little coming in.
