There are various suggestions of schemes by which Chicago can he n stored, and some of these are very wild ones. For instance, it is urged that the national government shall advance a hundred millions of dol lars and loan it out to rebuild Chi cago. It is proposed, also, that the State of Illinois shall borrow several millions of dollars and lend it out to rebuild Chicago, Who would be entitled to receive this money—the ■5,000 capitalists or the 50,000 pau pers All" such propositions arc impracticable. That is not the way to rebuild Chicago. It must he built by its own people, on their own credit, and with that self-reli ant energy that had already erected one of the noblest cities of modern times. Chicago cannot be rebuilt by any gift concert arrangement. We have every element of commer cial and productive industry that we ever had. Our stores and ware houses have perished, hut the great, broad expanse of country from which this city has grown, all re mains and is as prolific as ever. We have still capacity to store five mil lion bushels of grain. W e have the lakes and railroads at our feet as usual. Nothing has been de stroyed but the buildings in which the details of this trade were carried on. The insurance companies owe us the value of this property de stroyed. It is no. legitimate func tion of the government to make good the losses of insurance compa nies. Their capital and their re sources must meet the risks from which they have drawn their profits,, To their honor, let it he said, that they exhibit a purpose to pay their losses to the uttermost of their means. The idea that the State or National Government can loan public money to supply deficiencies in in surance, can have no oilier effect than to paralyze personal energy, and cause private capital to del.in its proper action in hope of escaping payment finally. Tin. re is one way in wliiuli the Na tional Government may Jo a sub stantial benefit without stepping outside its legitimate functions. The government must have public offices here, a Custom House, a Post Office, rooms for courts and Marshal, for Internal Revenue officers, and Pen sion Agency; it must also have here o- e or more bonded warehouses. Tin se buildings arc absolutely and immediately necessary. What Con gress can do is to provide for the erection of these buildings, and they should be of the most capacious di mensions and of the very best class. The should occupy an entire block —should bo free of all contact with any other buildings, and should he made absolutely fire proof. All these buildings can be built in the most solid manner of the most en during material for less than five millions of dollars. If Congress, upon meeting in December, will ap propriate one or two millions of dol lars to begin this work, and will or der their construction, it will do more to restore confidence and stim ulate private enterprise than any questionable or impracticable at tempts to loan public money to back up stockholders in insurance compa nies. This appropriation must of necessity bo made at some time, but its beneficial effects upon Chicago will ho greatly increased if it should he done as early in the session as possible. For the moment we have thou sands of homeless and destitute peo ple. They want work. Each man wants to earn tho bread that he and his family consume. Not one penny of any loan Congress or the State might make would rcacli these peo ple. 11V have thousands of rich people who have been made poor, hut we have tons of thousands of poor people who have been rendered destitute —who have neither bread, nor clothing, nor shelter. The fact that Congress had voted $5,000,000 to erect necessary buildings in Chi cago, for its own use, would be the best tidings to the unemployed labor of this city. It would be duplicated five times over by private enterprise, and instead of a city of houseless destitute poor, the community would become a hive of human industry, each man ami family looking to their own earnings for their own support. In ilie same manner the State of Illinois might, within the scope of its constitutional authority, devise some means whcrcliy the people of this city and county may provide themselves with public buildings. We want a Court House, a Hall of I‘words, a County Prison, and a i;Y Hall. These buildings are in dispensable, and must be built soon er 0l later. If the mrms to begin lhe.se public c:i;. be found then anotiie, ji:ce' r v• jyi 11 bo- given to~|uiv./eVutcrp' cago;>lia|aiig lhe\asiS*s£f thelpast irom'licrjjw meut8 1 jvill ptit onqjctv beauty,;acquire new "and" will rapidly regain that power and wealth which have been so sudden ly and calamitously lost. WHAT THE BASKS W ILL DO. We print elsewhere the resolii lions adopted by the 1 hankers of Chicago in regard to the course they ilccni ii judicious to pDrsipj ,|qri tlie best interests of all cunceriled/1 Scarcely any question in connec tion with the great calamity which lias befallen us required more cool ness than to point out, in the.midst, of the prevailing confusion, the way to restore confidence and re-estab lish the business of the. city. The bankers composing thei-committee ■vho drafted these resolutions and submitted them totho- meeting yes-: terday are gentlemen whose well known ability entitle them to the confidence of the publifc, and the course deemed judicious by them should meet with the hearty'co-ope ration of the entire business com munity. As was staled in our issue of Wednesday morning, every dollar of currency and bonds in the vaults of the banks is believed, to"' have been saved. This, together with the New York balances of the banks, leaves them an average amount of cash means equal to 40 or £0 per cent of their deposits. If the bank ers chose to adopt so suicidal a course as to press their debtors "for the payment of their loans,'.many of them could pay off their depositors in full within sixty days. But this policy would wind up the banks themselves, as thd depositors can put them into bankruptcy -as ’easily as the hanks can put their debtors there. No such policy is thought of by 'cither side. It is solely with the view of preserving all’tbese vast in terests that the majority.of.the hank ers have deemedit injudicious. .to pay out more than fifteen per cent on their deposits at ,onco. Fifteen per cent, however,will give every deposi tor something to uso now, and the continuance of the business of the banks is the best possible guarantee that all the present liabilities to de positors will be cleared off as soon as the “hills receivable” held by the banks—which are worth fu.ly 75 per cent of their face—can be collected. It is confidently believed that at least 50 per cent of all the insurance in volved in the fire will be promptly paid. This insures the collection of at least 75 nr 80 per cent of the loans of the hanks. How soon another instalment can be paid by the hanks on their de posits it is of course impossible to say. It is thought that some degree of uniformity of action im this re spect will be observed, but some of the hanks will probably pay 10, 20, or 30 per cent within the next month or two, while some will pay nearly all their deposits that are demanded, within the next sixty or ninety days/ The most important element, how ever, in the re-establishment of busi ness, will be the degree of geod sense shown by the public in sus taining the banks. The bankers, generally, believe that if the busi ness community will give them their confidence, every dollar of present liabilities to depositors will not only he paid off, but a now business will be built up at the same time. In this matter the country banks can exercise a potent influence fo r good or evil, according as they may act with’ discretion, or otherwise l The main thing to be borne in mind is, that the banks of Chicago have means enough to pay everything if they arc allowed time to realize on their bills receivable. As will be seen by the resolutions adopted by the savings banks, their action will be somewhat different from that of tho commercial banks. They propose to pay at once all de positors whose balances do not ex ceed twenty dollars, and not less than twenty dollars to every deposi tor whose balance is more than that amount. The limit of twenty dol lars is placed npon present payments solely for the purpose of preventing a run of depositors who do not stop to consider the demoralizing effect such an event would have. The savings hanks are sound; they can pay every dollar, and will do so as soon as con fidence is firmly re-established. BUSINESS REVIVAL, Already the lumber has been hauled in many Instances Jo the sites of the recent clestrucion In ibe South Division for the nurpose of constructing frame ’stores and warehouses. Within a very short time nur wholesale merchants will he prepared to fill orders Lirgc warehouses, kept for o*ftg<% and without the limits of the fire, n*e filled with goods. The public ware houses alone have several millions or dol lars’ worth of goods, which will be with drawn for sale as soon as (here can be tern* oomry stores erected. Many lines ol busi ness will be immediately resumed--mer chants using their private dwelling* for that purpose. Orders will be received and the goods furnished without delay from the Ea*t. Alu ady most of our firms have memlicrs in the Atlantic cities select ing slocks of goods, and forwarding them to Chicago. The clucring prospect in the matter of insurance has bad a most encouraging tft ct The hat ks have an amount ot cash, which, with the large percentage of insur unce, will make financial mailers far more casj- than was anticipated. The country cannot afford to let Chicago perish,, and a noblc/Cflbrt' Is' ntafetfijg t to pay’ iour sufferers -what ia due to\Uicujtb&t they thay they owe, antT* qu£ry on almc^LwithDut;mlcrruptiou. :cb!: NO EXTORTION. Everj* attempt at extortion because of the straits to which business has been re duced should be frowned down by the public, and submission In it utterly refused, even at much sacrifice.' "We have beard of few attempts at such extortions. On the contrary, holders of provLion, lumber, fur niture, etc.—such commodities as are most in demand alibi? crisis—arc*> generally ad' Vertismj'“ Xo advance in price." This is a wholesome indication, testifying to the splpit of devotion to the city’s welfare' which has always been characteristic ef Chicago merchants, Let it become the motto of the hour. It will not only help us belter through hard limes by keeping expenses down, but will keep in sonic pro ductive industry many who might other wise he tempted into trading upon the mis fortunes of their felfow-cilizens. Among the commodities most in de mand Just now is news—particularly intel iigenccof the fire anti’iis sequences. It is this insatiable demand, and the narrow ness of the facilities now at hand for mak ing newspapers, which lias induced people to pay 'from five to ten prices for The Tiuiiune, and even for the smaller sheets which are offered on the streets The p lib tic should understand, however, that .this is entirely a speculation of the newsboy s, and not of the publishers. The Tkiih:xe has been and will continue to be furnished at the regular price by the single number, as fast as printed, to all who can succeed in gaining a position at the doors of our office of publication. We hope, moreover to commence serving tbepapor to subscribers at their residences to-day. PROMPT KINDNESS. Among the I many id ad and generous offers of assistance which have come to us from our brethren of the press iu all parts of Hie country, we wish to make fitting acknowledgment to our namesake. Tim Tuiuvnk, of New York- The fore man or their composition room, Mr. Thomas Hooker, telegraphed, on the 10th, that they had on hand various fonts of type ready for use which would bo forwarded inr mediately if needed. The despatch, owing to the immense pressure upon the tele graph wires, did not reach us till the 12th, when wd had already provided ourselves with all that was immediately necessary to meet the emergency; blit ive are none the less grateful for the prompt and generous offerofotir New York friends;''' fOBEIHN I.OASS. IJrlvatt: despatchcsfrqm responsible per sonsjn hendon Jard- Liverpool Indicate unimpaired confidence by tile capitalists of those cities in Hie future of Chicago, and it is suggested that it would be well if some of tboseJargcly-intcmtcd in the rebuilding of'tlie' destroyed districts should select some of their number, well known, to pro ceed to the Eastern cities and to England ambpresent, personally, the condition of affaire. The confidence in-Chicago which is generally felt can be greatly strength ened by the detailed information anil facts which can best be presented by responsi ble men, such as Mr. W. B. Ogden and oiliers, who are well known in the finan cial world. There is no doubt that alf the money needed for restoration could be obtained on reasonable terms by those own ing the real estate which is to be improved. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS We have been informed upon good au. thority that arrangements are maturing for the investment of a large amount of East ern capital in the erection of hotels and stores in: the neighborhood of :the new business quarter west of the burnt district Our commerce should hot be permitted to leave us, and every effort should be made to meet its requirements. Mr. Philo Carpenter is obtaining plans and estimates for tbc conversion of his ele gant new block of marble buildings on West Washington street, between May and Ann streets. Into a first-class hotel. The front on Washington street is 250 feet, and the block is built of Athens stone. It will make one of the finest hotels in the North west. JEST AND GENEROUS. That a much larger amount ol the in surance on the late losses in this city will be paid than was at first thought even possible, is now certain. Among the most gratifying positive assurances that have reached us is that from the North British and Mercantile Insurance Com pany of London. This company has tele graphed to their agents here, Messrs. S. M. Moore Co., to draw upon them at sight for $5,000 for the sufferers by the fi'C. and to proceed at once to adjust ad risks in thoir office which will be paid in full, dollar for dollar. These losses amount to not less than two and a hall millions, and the .North Briiish and Mercantile can pay them without disturbing, in the least, their' American securities. RELIEF. The magnitude of the relief work m»y be estimated Irom a glance at the opera tions of tho. government depot on -Eliza beth street,-near tbe'east'bank of tberiver. The officials there unloaded CO ears oa Wednesday ;-50 yesterday, and will unload about 70 to-day. A, large prop orthiu. o the later reeefpts-consist of clothing and bedding; those of the first day were most ly provisions. They have already distribn ted about 100 car loads The churches arc all reported to bo in good sanitniy condi tion.

So tbo board, in roofing ,he new building, find It constructed entirely of wood It was roofed with pine, contained numbers of places of 34x16 stuff and porlins. There was al«o a lath and plaster celling in part. This great mass of woodwoik comprising the Immense scan of tho roof was thorooghly seasoned by thehcatof engines—was ready for the flames. The flooring was also of Georgia pine. In the rear wore sheds covering some heaps of anthracite coal. The are. passing over Lill’g brewery and the building Joel west of it, seized upon the gaiters of the roof, and, running rapidly around, ate its way through Into the interior while crawling up ibe roof. It was not very lung before there was a per fect caloriduct, and tho whole snpersinctare was a mass offlamos. The engineer and firemen held out as long a- they could, hat. at half-past 8, were forced off, most of them taking refuge behind tbo water-tower. They shot off steam fast before tho steam pipes were broken, bat after many of the ropes were horned, opened tho safety valves, and left things In a* good shape as possible. They were nlicriy nnahle to put oat the fire, not having all the hose they needed, and even had they been successful then, they most have Called after the biewery took fire, for though the Water Works were so much farther north and east, they were In flames before the buildings near them were touched. There was nothing inflammable about the tower, and all the injury it suffered was tho borningoutota couple of windows with a southern frontage,and uis not impossible that they were set on fire By thieves, who were prowling around the neighborhood. One gentleman living near bypacked a trunk with valuable clothing, ana dragged it over to tbo office In the tower, but when be went over after a time to .look for it. It had boon broken open and rifled.

Creglcr has telegraphed to tv hitman, at St. Loots, for a supplementary Gould engine which the water-works mere possess, and mat may be expected here at any moment. When it does cotac. they will make a connection wlih the main at Roth street and the river, and pump the water thence. It being good cnmv*h •I present for all ordinary purpose*. They arc still pumping from the river into ibo hv drama near Adams tircct, so that there is still some neartho river. The same thing baa been done for the booth Side, and the flow from Wahl’s artesian well has been turned into the mains near by. It wonld not b© dlMeult to lay pipes and turn the water from the artesian wells at Chicago and western avenues into the mains on Lake street. It is Cregier’s intense desire to get the water to the west Division so soon as possible, and if any one of the engines will work, there will be no trouble about it, for the west bide is generally supplied by the Chicago avenue main, which Is not tapped to supply ibe houses on that street. Had It neon, it would have been a work of time and difficulty to cut off ihe service pipes; but as it is. ail that will have to be done will be to cut off the snbmaln which runs down btate -treet. In view, however, of the doubt concerning the engines. It will not do to he too wingnine. They will at once'proceed to pot a temporary wooden roof over the building, tearing sufficient room to put an Iron roof In underneath when time permit*. insurance.
