FOR GOYERNOR IN 1872,

Washington C. Be Pauw,

OF FliOYJtt COUKTY.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1871.

HORATIO SEYMOUR has been put in nomination by the Democracy in one of the districts of New York for the Legislature, and the

Tribune,

in referring to

this nomination, uses the following language "We urge the ^Republicans to poll their every vote for Horatio Seymour. Politically, he is all that we are not but m®r ally he is the exact antipode of Thomas C. Fields while as a legislator he cannot fail to be able, efficient, and sternly opposed to peculation and fraud. We must purify and elevate our legislation to which end, we must disregard locality and seek out ability. O that our best men of either party would serve in the Legislature 1"

The times are indeed strange when the New York

Tribune

advocates the election

of Horatio Seymour to a law-making office. But it shows that Horace Greeley has the manhood to do what he thinks is right, though it may not suit the ten thousand demagogues who would sacrifice all the great interests of the country, to advance their personal ambition. "O that our best men of

All over this country the people are beginning to look carefully into this matter. The public pulse beats in unison to the sentiment uttered by Mr. Greeley when he says, "we must purify and elevate our legislation." This can never be done by continuing in power and place, the large mass of those now holding office. They Have shown themselves to be dishonest servants, and unworthy of any further confidence. To purify our legislation, says Mr. Greeley, "we must disregard locality and seek out ability." The sentiment is a noble one, and applies with terrible force to the Chief Magistrate of this nation. There is not an unprejudiced man in America, but knows General Grant does not possess the "abilty," which is required to discharge the duties incumbent in so exalted a position. This is no random assertion. It is known and admitted by all men, who have given this matter any attention. As the Chief Executive officer of this Republic, IJ. S. Graut is a mere figure-head, and not only this, but he avoids as much as possible the very duties imposed on him by virtue of his office. He shuns Washington and spends his time atfashinable watering places, and among fast men and faster horses. This week is the first time there has been a full Cabinet meeting at the Federal Capital for near six months. And yet some of the most important measures ever transacted in the history of the government have been adopted. The great writ of freedom, known as the

habeas

has been taken away from whole

districts of country, and martial law proclaimed in time of profound peace. Iu the absence of war in the land, the military, in portions of the country, have become superior to the civil power. Citizens are torn from their families by a rapacious soldiery, and tried in a court surrounded, by armed meu for offences often existing only iu the imagination of partisan foes.

While all this has been going on, Gen. Grant has calmly smoked his cigar and complacently dined at six o'clock P. M. Further than this, we can see no mark of his ability, and only discover amid the fumes of his fragrant Havana, how supremely he is governed, overreached and controlled by the wicked and corrupt meu who surround him. "O that the

best

men of

either

would serve the people."

CHICAGO INSURANCE COMPANIES.

How Policies Rate in Some of the Home Companies, The Chicago Tribune, of yesterday, says: "As remarked yesterday, a good many policies of the local insurance companies are being sold at prices predicated upon the supposed ability of the various companies to pay. Several policies in the Equitable have been sold at 5 cents on the dollar, and several in the Republic at 25 to 50 cents. Th® officers of the latter company seem quite anxious to buy in all that are offered at anything like that price, though we should advise no one to be in a hurry to sell at that price. Under ordinary circumstances it was considered, that the greater proportion of a company's stock paid in, the greater was its credit, but the extraordinary circumstances resulting from the fire have, to a great extent, reversed this. The greater the proportion of stock paid in, the greater were the available assets of the company, the greater its business the greater the amount of its risks, and consequently the greater the amount of its loss. Stock subscribed, but not paid in was a guarentee by the stockholders of reserved capital whieh could ba. called In in oaee of loss

mmm

of the actual capital in possession of the company. So long as the stockholders are solvent—the greater the percentage of stock not paid in, the greater is the guarantee of reserved capital that can be called in. The stock of the Fireman's Garden City, Commercial and other local companies have, we believe, none ot them been paid in full, and to the extent that they were not, the unpaid portion is a guaranteed capital that may be called in to pay losses.

The case of the Republic, however, is somewhat peculiar its stockholders are scattered all over the United States, from Pennsylvania to Nebraska. Very few of them have suffered by the fire, and numbers of them have not only admitted their liability to pay, but their willingness to do so. They believe, and with good reasofi, that, notwithstanding the heavy losses of the company, they can "eventually make them up by paying up the full amount of^ their slock and going on with the business. There is now 80 per cent, of their stock unpaid. If this were paid in, it would pay off all the losses of the company and leave it with a cash capital of $2,000,000 v?ith which to continue business. It is safe to say that insurance business will be more profitable to the companies during the next two years than it has been at any time for the last ten. The rates are about double in this city, and will probably be increased to some extent everywhere, because there will be less competition. The risks in this city will be less hazardous, because the business quarter will be rebuilt with structures nearer fire-proof than the former ones, and because for a year or two, while the effects of the great fire are apparent in the ruins, everybody, even servant girls, will be more carefnl about fire."

Suppose a stockholder in the Republic should ba'vejsold his stock

after

either

party

would serve in the Legislature," says this able and distinguished editor, and honest and patriotic men all over this country will respond amen to the sentiment. O that only our best men of either party held official positions, is the settled wish of the great mass of the American people. And this wish must be resolved into the fact, else worse will come to worse, and the burdens of the people will become too heavy to be borne. We must have honest men in office who will not steal the people's money. If this cannot be accomplished, the sovereign masses will refuse to pay money into the treasury, to be thus stolen by those official thieves. It is much safer and better to have an honest man In office, than that he should be either a Republican or a Democrat. Partisan fealty overleaps itself when the integrity of the candidate is not considered, and only his partisan attachments are looked to.

the stockholder by this act release himself from all liability These may be questions of importance in a short time.

A IIERY DESCRIPTION.

An Eye-Witness of the Peshtigo Destrnc tion Describes What He Saw. From an account written by an eye witness of the late terrible tornado of fire at Pesthtigo, Wisconsin, we extract few paragraphs to show the intensity of heat that was produced, by the immense volume

flames and the resistless wind

that bore it on. Says the writer The sharp air of early October had sent the peopl^in from the evening church services more promptly than usual, although numbers delayed to speculate on a great noise and ado which set in ominously from the west. The house wives looked tremblingly at the fires and lights within, and the men took a last look at the possibilities without for many it was truly a last glimpse. The noise grew in volume, and came nearer and nearer with terrific crackling and detonations. The forest rocked and tossed tumultuously a dire alarm fell upon the imprisoned village, for the swirling blasts came now from every side. In one awful instant, before expectation could give shape to the horror, a great flame shot up iu the western heavens, and in countless fiery tongues, struck downward into the village, piercing every object that stood in the_town like a red hot belt. A deafening roar, mingled with blasts of electric flame, filled the air, aud pa?alyzed every

SDUI

in the

place. There was no beginning to the work of ruin the flaming whirlwind swirled in an instant through the town. There is no diversity in general experience all heard the first inexplicable roar some aver that the earth shook, while a credulous few avow that the heaVeris opened, and the fire rained down from above.

THE nOT BLAST,

striking vigorous meu, seemed to have whipped the skin completely off all exposed parts, and for the time deprived them wholly of the faculty of sight. The heat was so intense that a full breath was instant death. Even the distant breath of the whirlwind scarified, nud the victims presented pallid, parchment visages that seemed to deny the possibility of a drop of blood. The mere crouching on the ground brought severe penalties. Children wandered around with bandaged hands, almost roasted by mere contact with the burning soil

THE TORNADO

was but momentary, but was succeeded by maelstroms of fire, smoke, cinders and red hot sand. Wherever a building seemed to resist the fire, the roof would be sent whirling into the air, breaking into clouds of flame as it fell. The burning particles seemed like lancets of red hot steel, penetrating the thickest covering. The evidence now remains to attest the incredible force of the tenderest pencils of darting flame. Hard iron wood plo .vs handles still remain, perforated as though by minnie balls, and for the main part unburnt. In a great many instances the human remains were distinguished from animals by the teeth alone. One horror-struck relative recognized the relics of his nephew by a penknife embedded in an oblong mound of ashes.

AFTER THE FIRE.

If you ever walked over the ground where a camp had tuttn burned, and there are few that server during the war that have not, you found there as much semblance of a substantial city as now marks the spot where Peshtigo's two thousand people carried on the business of life a few days ago. On the bank ot the river fish killed by the dusting flame are still to be seen, which the day after the fire were soft and white and un wounded. Crossing the frail remnants of the-bridge on timbers charred*and fragile, my neighbor said, "It was as like Judgment Day as I can imagine. Friend Hansen, with his wife and four chihireb, believed firmly that it was, and while the fire rained down he began to walk composedly op and down his parlor with his family about him, aud I have never seen him since."

Two TliieYCS.

The following item of Brooklyn appeared in this paper on Saturday Louis Muller was sent to the Penitentiary, yesterday, for six months by Justice Buckley, for having stolen a meerschaum pipe and bartered it for food and medicine for his child, which was dying with small pox.

While this wretched scene was enacting in Brooklyn, Sheriff Brennau on this side of the water was executing a warrant for the arrest of a thief charged with stealing—not food aud medicine for a dying ehlld—but six millions of the public money to gratify the vulgar tastes of a luxurious peculator. The creature who stole a pipe was hustled from the dock to the penitentiary with little, enough ceremony. The rogue who robbed the county treasury was treated with the mo&frdistinguished consideration. The Sheriff sends word in advance that he is coming to arrest Mr. Tweed, and hopes the little formality will not elash with his honorable friend's other engagements. He enters Mr. Tweed's rooms hat in hand, and claps him on the shoulder with a mild joke and a conciliating laugh. Bail bonds are all ready friends are at hand and after a little pleasant conversation and a few legal forms, the jolly party breaks up Mr. Tweed goes home in smiles, ana the Sheriff boasts that he never took such heavy bail before, and never arrested a gentleman of superior consequence.

The lesson of this contrast is not a wholesome one. It is the old story over

again no mercy for the friendless wretch who takes a loaf of bread when his child is starving, but every civility to the rogue who is bold enough to steal a million instead of a sixpenoe.—jy. y. 2Wbune.

THERE is a needle factory in New Haven where the whole process is done by a single machine without the manual labor of any person. A coil of steel wire is put in. The machine cuts it off at the required lengths. It cuts the steel pieces consecutively, punches the eyeholes, countersinks the eyes and grinds the points, and, in fact, does everything until phe needles drop out completely formed. Another machine picks them up and arranges them heads and points together, and a third piece of mechanism puts them into paper. One of these machines occupies no more space than an ordinary table and each of them turns out from thirty to forty thousand needles a day. Most of the needles hitherto in use have been imported from England until a few years past.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER

We shall throw open to the public, the large extension to our store which has been in course of construction during the past six weeks. Upon the, morning of that day we shall inaugurate

A GRAKD OPENING CELEBRATION SALE

that will eclipse anything of the kind ever before heard of in the West. As we say this our minds naturally run back over the eighteen months of struggle with and triumph over, the outrageous Dry Goods Monopoly with which we have had to contend. But under the banner on which we have written, "All goods sold fbr Cash," "No High Prices," No big profits," "Courteous and Honorable treatment to all," aud through the splendid support given us by the people, we have not only triumphed in the contest, but our business has increased so rapidly that we have been compelled to build up the Entire Depth of our lot, thus giving us in our three floors and basement, by far the largest Dry Goods establishment in this part of the State. It is clear that the masses of the people are with us and that they appreciate our efforts to give them the

BEST OF GOODS AT THE LOWEST PRICES!

This great growth in our business has been right in the face of the most persistent and malignant libels in the power of the "Dry Goods Ring" to utter. In recognition of our unparalleled success and, as an expression of our confidence in the future, we shall upon

make afresh onslaught upon high prices. To this end we shall place on sale over

25,000 Spools of a celebrated make of Spool Cotton at 3c a spool. 25,000 Spools of Coats' best six cord Spool Cotton at 5c a spool. 5,000 y'ds of genuine Merrimack Prints at O and 10 cts. 5,000 y'ds of genuine Cocheco Prints at 9 and 10 cts. 5,000 y'ds of best Sprague Prints at 9 and 10 cts. 5,000 y'ds of best Pacific and Garner Prints at 9 and 10 cts.

The above stock of the very best prints, are the most beautiful styles we have ever offered. Every new and pretty pattern of the season is among them, including an elegant assortment of English robe figures. These handsomest styles of the best prints we could not now buy ourselves, for less than 12J cts. at wholesale in New York. The other stores are not generally keeping them, but where they do they are usually charging 15 cts. a yard for them. 5,000 y'dsof good Common Prints at 5 cts. 5,000 y'ds of Better Prints at O cts. 5,000 y'ds of Fast Colored Prints at 8 cts.

We have been preparing for this great sale foi more than six weeks, and our New York partners have been scouring the market for special bargains In new and elegant goods with which to iiiaugurat^ur opening. Our entire stock of NEW FALL DRESS GOODS, f'BLACKSILKVELVETS,
