Are the wooden buildings and sheds erecting in all parts of the West Division going up under permits of the Board of Public Works, or are they put up •■without permits? It is the duty ot every citi 2va to report to the police and to the Board of Dui-lic Works every violation of Ibis most es sential law. Immediately south of the High i-uhoed, in which the courts and records are k:M, there have been erected during the last week two monster sheds, each 60x100, and they are used lor the storage of coopers materials. The firing ot either of these sheds would pro duce a conflagration which the fire department could not resist, and would end, perhaps, in the destruction of Ihrce-fourlhs of what is left of the city. HOME IYSrniYCK COMPANIES. A ieeble protest has been raised against the cry which has gone forth against our local insur ance companies. The protest is to this effect, that it New York had been burned up, all the New York companies would bare been bursted; if libaion bad been burned, all tbe Boston com panies would have been forced into bankruptcy, and so on, all around tho board. What else could I:- expected of Chicago companies when Chicago burns up? This may be all true, and yet it constitutes no argument for future business. If we are in sured in New York and Boston companies, and New York and Boston burn up, we lose nothing but our premiums—we must reinsure somewhere cUe. Ifwc burn up, and those cities do not, the chances arc that their assets will be invested at home and not here consequently will not be burned up; consequently they can par a fair propostion of their losses. Looking at the mat ter bv the light of our own fire, which was suffi ciently strong, wc arc constrained to say that it UnolVisc for any city to give its insurance ■rerv largely to local companies, for when any great fire comes, the property of the Insurance companies \>urns up with the pro;>erty of lha insured, and both go to pot together. the sUFFiiiuiK-s of tub aronTii. Tut: Tbidcjje, having reached again Us rcad crs in parts distant from Chicago, wishes to lose v.o lime in appealing to their generous senti ments in behalf of the sufferers by the fires in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. The ca lamity of Chicago is more conspicuous than theirs, but it is less severe. Not to mention the fearful loss of life in the tornadoes of flame which devastated thosejll-fated sections, carry ing away thousands where hundreds went in the Chicago fire, the losses of property and the physical suffering resulting Irom the terrible visitation have been fearful to contemplate; ex cording by far the suffering caused by any sin gle calamity to any civilized population in mod ern times. Probably 50,000 people in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan alone have been strip red of every earthly possession by these fires. Many of them have also been rendered sick, llit;d or crippled by the ordeal, which will neu-»>arily make them objects of charity fo r some lime to Unfortunately, too ■A t.fi* whole families, whole communities, wcrct involved in the common ruin, there arc no neighbors or relatives on whom, as in Chicago, ajme of the sufferers cm fall hack lor assist tt'c. They can men 1 flock in masses to the nearest towns unscathed by the flames, there to .tarveor lrc«*«*, unless timely nld arrive?. This should, for humanity s sake. prompt and co pious. The people of the Northwestern States are already doing much in behalf of the desti tute in Wisconsin and Michigan, hut the burden should not fall upon them alone. The appeal is to humanity; and w* are sorry to say that the reaction of the excitement ctu>ed by the great Chicago fire will be likely to militate against due energy of action in behalf of these other victims, unless all persons able and willing to relieve distress lor humanity’s sake purely, shall chargethoimclves with special efforts in their t-ehalt. Money and «lathing arc the articles iccst needed; and the (lovcroors of Wisconsin nr.d Michigan {at Madison and Detroit) arc undoubtedly the most appropriate channels through which this aid can be administered. THE OIL STO.\U STOUT. The New York Journal of Commerce hns .'-wallowed the oil stone story and, assuming U a fact that Chicago was built of stone heavilv charged with petroleum, thus describes the process of destruction: Anejewitneseof lb* process says he mi tlis fame" croea streeli and tick with long longue* at the a'.in* buildings opposite. The UU«r, oa uu-y became intensely heated, emitted JeU of gas, upon which the frauea would catch and then go out again, repeating the operation a number of times, when— preato-the ■tone would apparently be in dimes. This Is pre cisely the action of fire on anthracite, aa any one may e*e by watching a large lamp of coal la hiagratc, Like coal, these stones were reduced to ashes.' That eyewitness had ft lively imagination. V»\* repeat that the only building in this city of any sire built of the supposed oil stone was the Second Presbyterian Chorcb, and the walls of that building were not reduced to ashes, bat stand conspicuously erect among the ruins of a hundred other buildings utterly destroyed. I The foundation for this oil stone theory Is tbe following troin a late number of Chambers* Journal: In the neUdibothood of Cnlcago there are enor 11102* deposit* of Ibis oil-bearing limestone; some of tbr boasee in tbc city are built of It, and after a while preent a smeary appearance from exudation of tbe oil. The least thickness of the mass is ibirty-flvo feei, and itha*been animated fiom experiment that e J>cb Hjnarc mile of It contains seven and ihree-qnar ler mini n barrel*, each ot forty gallons of petrol eum. Aa a means of comparison, wc aantloa that the ictal produce of the great Pennsylvania ml region from IbWto JS7O was twenty-eight million barrels. Pour K]tuua miles of the Chicago limestone contain s greater quantity." Some years ago when the oil fever was at its height, and men were makting fortunes in a week, some persons conceived the idea that the j sioac in an old quarry northwest of the city VOLUME 25. pare evidence of oil."If wc mistake not, certain disembodied spirits encouraged the idea, and boring was begun. The oil rock was perforated without getting a drop of oil; but the boring went on until at last they struck a vein of water in no wise tinctured with petroleum. Subse* quenlly a second well was sunk, but the only yield was water. That was the last of tbs oil theory. The writer In Chambers’ Journal has been imposed on. If be would come here and point out tbc location of that fifty million barrels of oil, he would make a good thing of it. TWEED’S OPERATIONS, The disclosures ot the Xcw York frauds leave no reasonable doubt that conclusive evidence of the guilt of W. M.* Tweed has been obtained His immediate partners are Ingersoll, Garvey, and one Elbert A. Woodward, Clerk of the Supervisors. Woodward has been residing a long time at Xorwalk,- Connecticut. During his residence there be has purchased real estate to the amount of $174,000; loaned on mortgage $303,000, and sold real estate for $00,009. The act of 1870 made the Major, Comptroller, and present President of the Supervisors aboard to audit all outstanding liabilities against the County of Xew York, and for the amounts found due certificates were to be issued which were to be paid by the Comptroller. The board— Connolly, Hall, k Tweed, had one meeting, oud ordered that the certificate of Tweed, or his clerk, J. B. Young, should be sufficient to authorize tbc Comptroller to pay the claims. Un der ibis arrangement. Ingersoll, Garvey, and Woodward, deposited warrants to tin amount of $6,312,000, for which they received the money. The transactions of these men were all In one bank, and the whole proceeding is proven by tbc books in (he bank. The warrants were all indorsed by Ingersoll, Garvey, or Wood ward. Tho latter acted throughout for Tweed. When Woodward deposited warrants, he imme diately checked against them for Tweed’s por tion, and Tweed deposited them to his own credit. When Ingcrsoll and Garvey deposited warrants, they checked a large share to Wood ward, who, in turn, checked in favor of Tweed. This was done on twenty-six different days, and as all the checks were drawn upon and deposited in the same bank, the chain of evidence is com plete, and tbc amount received by each distinctly ascertained. The New York Evening Post thus explains the proceeding. ••Fora tingle example, explaining the method of the whole, take the transactions of June 10,1870. On lhl« day the warrants drawn and paid by the Comp troller were an follows: Pnyti. Ei>'lor*-'r. Amownf C. P. Iloliar Ingertoll Jb Co $57.4d7.rl logon-oil Co. lng. rsi.il .t CoJ 1W.71M0 George S.

A Co 3t1.8P.50 J. ilcß. Davidson.. ..J. ilcß. Davidson CG, “These warrant? were collected a* follow*: Jamas E. lugajsoil collected the first three, auiotintingto fISLGUfiI: Andrew J. Garvey collected the next three, amounting to sl(tf,o7JU3; E. A. Woodward collected the rest, amounting to $131,500.01. Bach of these men deposited the official chocks in the Broadway Dank to his own credit, and then drew against them. Ingorsoll at once drew a chock forfjjo,2*o.;.t. and deposited it to the credit of E. A. Woodward. Garvey drew a check tor $71,552.12. and deposited It to the credit of Wood ward. Woodward then, havlngln band the anm of $278,342.27 out of the whole act of warrant*, drew his check for f00.513.28, and deposited U to the credit of William M. Tweed. In the same way the fraudulent conspiracy was carried out on every day on which any of these warrant* were paid. And in the same wav,when the New York Printing Company, on June", 1870, three day* earlier, collected fraudulent warrants of the same class to the amount of <-141,- ffiin.lh, the companv at onco gave its check to William M. Tweed for $!0L333.C4. which be deposited to his own credit the nest day.” Woodward received $3,500,000 in all, against which he checked for over one million to Tweed, and these checks Tweed deposited to bis own credit in tbe bank. A in the Republic Insurance Company, residing ut Logansport, lad., writes to us, complaining against.the demand made hr the policy-holders that'the stockholders pay up their stock notes, and go on with their business according to law; and he wants to know how the other Chicago companies arc to be treated. He also thinks it is hard if the poor stockhold ers in £the Republic, after losing all they have paid sn, arc to be the only sufferers by the fire who get no benefit from the munificent dona tions poured into Chicago from other places. In regard to the latter point, we would re mark that charily contributions are not intend ed to set anybody tip in business, or to make good anybody’s losses, or to suspend the opera tions ol law. but simply to prevent suffering from hunger, cold, and sickness. If any ol the stockholders of the Republic Insurance Gora ranv are suffering from lack of food or shelter, they bare only to make their wants known to the Relief Society, in or der to be taken care ot until they can do some thing belter, but the Relief Society does not intend to set apart.tiny of its funds to provide merchants with new stocks of good?, or news papers with new type and presses, or lawyers with new libraries, or insurance companies with new assets. Wc understand that all Chicago insurance companies, whose assets consist in part of stock notes, arc to be treated in the same way as the Kfpnblic—that is, the law is to he executed by the State Auditor with entire impartiality. If a merchant with outstanding notes to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, has lost all his property except the small amount he can recover from his insurance, be must cither go into bankruptcy or get an extension from his creditors. The same rule must apply to stockholders in insurance companies. The unseemly contest between South Side and West Side, between the burnt district and the unburot districts, has died out. Our cars are no longer assailed with the clamors of raging speculators in real estate striving to col lect a fvw dollars from the wreck of other people’s millions. The fact is now apparent, as we stated it immediately after the fire, that the burnt district will bo gradually rebuilt in the same general way as before, and that, a? fast os it is rebuilt, the old lines of business will re turn to it, for the single reason that they can be better ac?onimodatcd there than elsewhere. In order to secure the permanent retention of this class of business in the miburnt districts, it would be necessary to have another great fire to make room for the class of buildings which this business requires. The present locations must perforce continue till something better is cfteU'd. The bettor ones will be found in the burnt district n few years hence. They cannot be found elsewhere, unless the present ones arc 1 demolished and commodious buildings erected in their stead. Tl:e officers of the bricklayers* Union assert that that body bas taken no action in regard to wages of journeymen, and that the advance in wages bas been owing, not to tbc demands o’ the men, but to tbe competing bids of employ ers. The latter have not hesitated to offer jour neymen an advance of wages if they would leave Ibeii former employers and work for them' The same officers .indignantly deny that any printed or written notice bas been sent to other cities, warning bricklayers against coming here. The union deserves special thanks of all Chi cago for resisting all appeals to strike for an ar bitrary rate of wages, and for theirgood sense in leaving wages to regulate itself by tbe demand The Cincionnli insurance companies lose .in the aggregate $1,500,000 by the Chicago 6re, and all propose to pay in full. This is credit able to Cincinnati, whose citizens subscribed $500,000 to enable one ot the companies to pay iu losses, without impairing lU capital. »ld He Escape 1 To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sin: 1 have jnel been informed of the following In cident: On Monday morning, 9th lost., at about 9 o'clock, the brick block southeast comer of Congress and -Wabash avenue was destroyed. Tbe third bonas was blown tip In order to save the balance of the block. A then time before this occurred, two boys-went through the building,and in a second awry I nek room they discovered, lying on the floor, a tall, fine-looking young man who bad fallen exhausted In tho act of carrying oat a heavy piece of fnmlturc. lie was about G feet high, well proper' tionvd, black hair end mustache, and was In bis shirt sleeves.

MONETARY. Saturday Era.vi.fo, Oct. 23. Business at the banks is light, and will probably be *o until tho packers begin active operations, which will now be soon. The hog crop is a large one, and will require a large amount of money to move it. and this, together with the necessities of the packers, will take all the money the banka can spare. The packers and providon dealers, however, have lost but little In the fire, and their operations will be affected hut little by tbo disaster to the city. Mncb of the packing will, of course, be dune on Eastern capital, and the eftf-hing of the time drafts of the packers bore on tbclr principal* In the East will probably be the first of anything like discounting that the banks will do. For the present the banks in general have more money than they can find any safe occupation for. Deposits at the eight or nine loading banks continue larger than before the fire, and the majority of the National Banka now hold from 60 to TO per cent of their total deposits in cash and New York ex change. The tacit understanding that National Banka wonld stand by each other in case of emer gency has probably operated unfavorably In some re spects with private bankers, and has probably in duced a good many persons to gradu ally withdraw Ibeir accounts from private bankers and take them to the. incorpor ated banks. Is this connection, it may be well to mention that there is every disposition on the part of all tfea strongest banka to assist the pri vate banker* by letting them have ready monpr on their securities, if they should need anything of tbo kind, though there seems no particular cause for un esMness at present. As we nave remarked before, there will probably bo changes in the banking as well as In other business, resulting from the fire: bat, as for as can be ascertained now, even all tbo private banks and small concerns can pay their de positors If they have a little time.
