'special despatch from our Springfield correspondent mentions a street rumor that t.ovenior rainier has written to Attorney General Bufdmell, calling his attention to the recent shooting of Colonel Grosvenor, by young Treat, tho university student, while oirpatrol duty, and directing him to search c ntlthc facts in the case, and procure an in dictment against Lieutenant General Sher idan," Frank T. Sherman, and any others directly connected with the killing; and, fur ther, that the Governor has written a letter Jo Mayor Mason, of this city, protesting Tt gainst his action with reference to the mill itaiy occupation of Chicago, both during and bince the fire. la regard to both these rumors, U is only charitable lo the common sense, as well as legal attainments, of Governor rainier, to pronounce them false. If Governor Fulmer has issued any such instructions lo his Attor- J:ey General, he has already exceeded his du ties. He has no more authority to instruct a prand jury in this district, as lo its duties in lias mailer of presentment, than any pri vate citizen has. The Attorney General has no more power in the premises than the Gov ernor. The State’s Attorney for this circuit b:»* no authority to move an indictment, or Jo do aught except as the agent and officer of the grand jury, and then it is only required «>f him lo furnish the jury with the law, i'hen afked fur by them, in the usual form. :.nd to ilj.v.v up tho indictment which they iind. The authority to instruct a jury tic ne ve is vested only in the Judge of tho court in which they aiv called to sit. Tho present ment be inspired there, but not in Springfield or Ottawa or elsewhere. The in- Mrnclioaa must emanate from tho Judge of ;he court :n which they arc sitting, nor from the Go« ernor of Illinois. The legal ad i*er of the jury is the .Slate’s Attorney, not the Attorney General. Hence the whole ab surd nnnur Tails iu the ground, whether the ftovemor ha*; exceeded his authority or not. The only JVvl of th.-e Springfield rumors has been to give the Chicago Time* another •pporUrmy lo vent its empty wrath against General Sheridan and all other who were in :.3*- way instrumental in preserving peace and order during tin? memorable tiro week, fsotiling conduced so much to restore the courage id cur citizens and to ensue a feel ing of Hruritv a* the knowledge that Gen eial Sheridan had taken command of the burnt dial rid at Ihe Mayor’s request, and 1 l.itt he had in*«»ps lien? to pro*.-r\e private a.-, well as puMie property, and help restore tu-der. In relation to the new- from Washington, Ital the War 1 hparlment has ordered a com pany of tn*«.p- from Willet's Point to reu de/voun here b*r the winter, it should be re membered that rhieago is the headquarter* of the Depntlment of the Missouri, ami that the government has the same right to ordrr troops into barracks here that it has to elation them at Newport, Ivy., ‘or Omaha, Nebraska. Governor Palmer is not -o ignorant of law-as to instruct the National Government where it shall build barracks, pud deal out rations to its troops. In the t vent that a presentment of Gen eral Sheridan should be made in due legal form to a grand jury, it is presumable that the grand jury will be quite as wise a» the Chicago 7iwif«. and w ill be satisfied with the instructions of the Judge of the court in v.bicb they are sitting, ami the legal advice of it* at lot uey. Beyond these, then* is no authority which has jurisdiction in tie* premises. Tin-: m-:\v rioMKh*. It is not ihc bu-lite>s of those on whom has devolved 1 Imeaiv »»f tin* Millerersby the Octo ber fire, to take thought, particularly, of lie* future of Chicago.

How to feed, and to clothe, and to lodge, to-day and to-morrow. tin** hungry, homeless, half «lad crowd of lens of thousands, is the. prob lem which comes up daily for solution, and of it it is emphatically true that sufficient unto the day is ilo* evil thereof. Nevertheless, the method and the success of relief must have an immense iuilimnec upon the inline «liatv te.-uM Ualion of the business and pros perity of lee city, and, consequently, upon its fntui v.elfare. How we shall start in the spring depends very mueh upon how weshall jiel tlsrcugli the winter; and how we shall •get ib.oujih the winter depends upon vhelhe:■ we have a laboring population, in dustrious. thrifty, and contented* or whether ibat chiss i-hall It.- idle, impoverished, diseon leiited. vleion-.. and turbulent. A warm back jii:d a full stomach are the best i»f police «egu’atson«; nothing conduce*, so muck to peace and contentment, and nothing makes a place so attractive. On tho other hand, an empty tloret, a cold stove, thin and scanty lothinj:. ami in-ulfieiewt shelter, as they are jo- certain source «*f misery, so they art* the piolilic caust «>f disorder and crime among 3ln*se c.t n who. but for such depriva tions, todtl bp orderly and in dust riot's.

A new city bo* sprujig into existence here, as if by magic, on the rains of the old, thoold ap pliances of ga«. v> f watet. of streets, and of pavements being left tocompleto it.

This settle ment cf values of real estate is not the least C-f the benefit* which this wiswj»HC££th*}'p. ing the people lo provide themselves Avlth homes has bestowed upon the city. But, taken together with the inestimable in fluence for good that it must have and is having upon so large and important portion of the population it is evident that, in carry ing out the purpose to provide shelter for the homeless, the committee, in adopting the method that they did, buildod better than they knew.*-' It may cost a million of dollars, or even more, but the expenditure will bo returned a hundred fold in the future pros perity of this town and people. IXSIRA.VtE O.V f.RAIV The action of the underwriters, in increas ing the rates of insurance on grain in store, is better calculated to destroy that business in this city than a dozen tires. Before the fire the rate for insurance on grain in store aver aged 2 per cent per annum, tho rates for shorter terms being proportionately ad vanced. Since the tire the rate has boon ad vanced lo 5 per cent per annum, and the rates for short terms proportionately higher. The annual rate is advanced 150 j>er cent, and the others in proportion. The average time for which grain in store is insured is ten days. Here are the rates: ••On each SIOO. J year, S3; 9 month*. ?q.2.», orsl-3 tier cent; Cmonth*.*a.3o.or T percent: 4 mouths, $2.30,0r7 1-2 percent; 3 months, >2.00, or s per rent; 2 month*, sl.so, or l» per cent; 1 inoiiili, SI.OO. or 12 per rent: 15 days. 07 cent*. -*r 10 per cent; lOdavs. Docents, or is per cent; t day*. 33 cent*, or nearly 23 per cem; 2 days, 17 cents, or 31 per rent."’ These rates are simply ruinous. There isno justificationforthem. Tho risks on thatkind of property have been t lie beat paying of any kind of insurance done in this city. The danger of loss in elevators has been greatly lessened by lire, and certainly risks are as safe now as ever. It is moreover au unjust discrimination against this city. Grain ta warehouse Imre is as safe against tiro as it is in Buffalo, Milwaukee, Toledo, or elsewhere, and lo demand 150 per cent more for insur ance in this city than in other places is simply extortion, and should not he submit ted to for a day. If these companies in a panic propose to extort from this city the whole amount of their losses within one y«*ar, they will find themselves mistaken. They Avill destroy the business, and eventu ally 10-othe profits Avhich they might make at legitimate rates. TZIE ELECTION LAW There has been a great deal of unwi-doni giAeti out by irresponsible parties as to the places where people must A-oto avlio have been driven aw a y from their homes by lire. The clear intention of the law is that per son* wlio arc entitled to vote shall he allowed to vole. The safeguards and prohibitions and penalties are framed l«> prevent ilUynl voting;, and not to compel a man to vote in a place where he cannot. The following chui-os of the Election law. printed on pages 21 and 22 of the pamphlet editioninthehaudsuf the judges of election, show that if a person has a pcnnaiuvt abode in the eleet ion oi*lal. held in any town. rite, district, or wank every prison ottering to vote who is not personally known to the judge*and inspectors of election to have js-rmauent abode. and toiiavo re- Mt'ed In.

The J'cforin party in New York, nr rather the union which all people in favor of reform have made, regardless of party, is Banning a ticket which almost challenges comparison with the fire-proof ticket of Chicago in point of perr-omd merit. l*pon it arc General fiigcl, for KegiMer. and a list of Aldermen composed of.the best citizen-: while for Judges of Iho Supreme and Superior Courts, to displace tho creatures of Tammany, are cx-Judge Barrett, who has been leading the recent prosecution of the King, and John Sedgwick and William 11. Curtis—all lawyers of eminent standing. Mr. Charles O’Conor has declined to run for the Assembly, on account of bi- pres-inc professional duties connected with tho cause winch all good cit izens have equally at heart—the defeat and punishment of thoTauimany King. His place has been supplied by Hon. Horatio Seymour, who. tlmuch he docs not reside iu the dis trict for which he is mfiiinated. and al though his political record is obnoxious to many, is supported by the Kcpublicau papers on account of his personal rectitude. As an other curiosity of the campaign. Mr. O’Dano van Ko--a. the Irish exile, is being supported by the TrihiiHi ami reformers generally as one of (he candidates against Boss Tweed iu the Fourth Senatorial District. Till'belief in New York is that KlhertA. Woodward, the corrupt Tammany clerk, who drew-52 per cent of the warrants issued tc Garvey, by Ingersoll and others, has fled to Chicago. Woodward gave out that he was coming hit her to adjust some insurance losses, but it turns out that he has nothing to do with insurance, having sold out his slock in that business. We think we can. neverthe less, furnish the New York officers of justice with a clue to Woodward's whereabouts and errand. Tho bummers* ticket, as made up at Jackson Hall on Wednesday and several pre ceding days, seems to have been organized on strictly Tammany principles. It shows the handiwork cl Woodward or a Tweed. Doubtless tho cat?paW of Tammany was “around’* directing the nomination**, nljd making arrangements to move the Tammany concern to Chicago, in case the SbcritT should press them too hard in New York, and the hummer movement succeed here. It will be perceived by the records of the sorehead*’ and bummers* convention that great confusion prevailed throughout all the delilierationsof that illustrious mob. This arose from the neglect of the leaders to make the applicants for office form u cue. as they do at the soup houses. Consequence, a loud and prolonged wrangle, a miscellaneous scramble for the best bones, and a vast deal of mutual recrimination. The applicants trod 00 mb others tore until those extremities must huTc become ns sore ns t heir heads. All of winch. or at lenst a ].art of which trouble, m.ght hnee bec-n avoided, if Messrs. Sehintz and Holden had made their follower* form a cue. Accustomed as they are to formula rings (especially in the Council and Board of Supervisors), it is a wonder that they did not think of this. Among the lapses in a literary way sus tained by tho fire were threw sots of the national archives, including the annals and debate* of Congress, and the Congressional Globe# One of these sets was iu Tins Tbi hum: libnuy. another iu the library of the Historical Society, amllhe third iu pri vate library of Terry H. Smith, Hsq. There is but one other complete set here, and that 1* in the library of the University of Chicago. The only danger tolho succo«*of the Union ticket at the forthcoming election in the perfect confidence which every oue has that it will bo elected. Ko ticket can bo elected without work nor without vote* U, (hero THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1871.' fore, the advocates of tho ticket, supposing that its excellence will carry it safely through, relax in their work or absent them selves from the polls, its success is endan gered. Indlflcrencc or over-security in such an emergency as this is little less than crimi nal. The success of the ticket is a guarantee of future prosperity; its defeat will bo a crushing blow to our municipal credit. Let every man, therefore, work with his whole energy to elect the Union ticket, as one of the mo«t important auxiliaries to the rebuild ing of Chicago. Mr. K. K, Jones, of Quincy, in one of the 240 speeches made by him to his fellow soreheads at Jackson’s Hall, remarked that the ticket on which he has a place is a heavy ticket.” He will find it exceedingly heavy to pull through when Tuesday comes around. Mr. Jones evidently did not like the odor of his confreres very well, for he was constantly sniifiing and sneezing at tho ticket, and vow ing that he would not serve as a candidate unless a good deal of disinfecting was done. But tho "convention” (so-called) refused to disinfect, and Jones, whispering ho would ne’er consent, consented. ‘Mr. Jones will not have any occasion to move to Chicago in order to serve as Treas urer, fort bo Mississippi River is nearer to Luke Michigan than Jones is to au election. One by one the English Peers who have been committed to tho new social alliance witli the workingmen, by various foreign jonmnls, arc denying that they have signed any such compact. The real truth, concern ing the new movement, seems to bo that an interview has been held between the Peers and the proletariat, at which tho former ex pressed sympathy with the reforms asked by the latter. Inn no formal action has yet been taken to organize cither a party or a plat form. There seems to be but liillo doubt, however, judging from the testimony of all the English journals,‘that the formation of *«ch u parly is certain iu the not distant fu ture. The people of Chicago will remember the contumacious Thomas the engineer of tho Court House building, ami the groat trouble it took lo rid tho county of his olficial pres ence. He Avas aided in hi* operations by his brother, who Avas also a county olficial. The convention of dead-beau have hunted up this brother, and have nominated him for County Commissioner, along Avith a squad of the old corrupt Board of Supervisors. These are thejmen to avljoiu these scallawng* propose to commit the power of levying taxes and disbursing the revenue of this county for the next six yews. Mr. Atwood, who purports to be a lawyer of Chicago, and who is in pursuit of a Judge ship on the Circuit bench, is about the only man on the ticket who has not been promi nently identified with the had administration or jobbing legislation which has cursed the city from year to year. Mr. Atwood stated in his speech that he ‘'accepted because ho did md know how to decline the nomina tion.” This is probably as true a> anything uttered in the bummers* convention.' De clining nominations (or drinks paid for by other people) is one of the lost :irts among the bumming fraternity, which this ticket represents. But fortunately the people “know how to decline’* to ratify such nomi nations. Mr. Arlemas Carter, one of tho oldest and most respected citizens of Chicago, now a resident of ‘Whutku. has been nominated for State Senator on the Union ticket, and is op posed by a self-nominated person named Munn. who recently came here from Cairo. It is unnecessary to say anything against Miinn. lie may be a respectable man for aught we know, hut the people of Cook County know Mr. Carter and know his high lH?i>onal character, his long and honorable experience in public affairs, and will gladly avail themselves of his services iu the State Senate.

To the Editor of tbr Ctiiraijo Tribune. fin:: I wirdi to say only a few words on the subject of land titles. By parties in poeifs xion, who do not wish to sell, orhorrow.no relief is needed. Possession is the best title that any man can now show. The communi ty at largo, however, do need such assurance of their titles as will induce cautious capital ists to buy part of. or lend money upon, the real estate in this county. No cx parte dec laration, made hy any tribunal, as to where the title is, w ill suffice for them. Laws pro viding that such declaration shall ho prima fack evidence ot title, (if constitutional, which 1 do not believe), will not help the matter, No man, except as ho may b»»y chances in a lottery, buys upon such a title, or lends money updo it at all.

And there is a danger to bo guarded against which docs not seem to be appreciated. This danger springs from the fact that itismuchcasiertosnpply the reme dy which honest men need, in consequence of the hunting of the records, than it is to guard that remedy, that thieves shall not steal the honest metrs lot*. Nothing but notice to the honest meu will, or can. prevent such a re sult. No scrutiny which any tribunal. m»t before acquainted with the title to the prop erly, and not stimulated by adverse intercut, can bestow upon the colorable title which the thief will prove, will avail. The subject, is full of difficulties; special legislation, and the exercise of judicial powers by other Tri bunals than the courts, meet with constitu tional objections.

Wamumjton, Nov. 2.—The papers in the case of the war claim of the State of Kentucky wore llb'tl in the tsupremu Court to-day, praying for a uuoulavvs to cnmiH'l the Secrdßiry of the Treas ury to sign the warrant refused some months since for the payment of the Home Guards of the State. Tt ticks for a niamtautufi upon tho follow ing grounds: Fir*t. Thai tho act demanded of the-Secretary of the Treasury by the State of Kentucky, is a purely ministerial act; that Its performance i* commanded by positive law, and leaves no choice, option, discretion or judgment lu that regard to defendant. Second, that tho writ i> necessary to the due and proper enforce ment of the just pecuniary rights of the Commonwealth of Kentucky; that the co-o involves no question of political right* or sovereignty, but simply one of money or property, and that the Stale of Ken tucky has no other appropriate, adequate, or cfllci« nt remedy to enforce these rights. Third. That the Stale of Kentucky, being in mime and in fact and in interest a party to the suit, this court hits original Jurisdiction of thccase. Fourth. Thai defendant cannot, by virtue of bis office, claim erempiion from the compelling power of the writ where the right of a State is clear, and hLs duty pi duly and only ministerial without option or di.-tretion lu its performance. Fifth. We therefore respectfully a-k t*'- ourt an al ..■ruutivo maylM e-or cause why a peremptory should not is*=uc ic such manner sis the court shall doom ju.-t ami right In the premises. Senator Scott.

Part of the Ku-Kluz report relative to the tlnanclil condition of the Southern States will be fotlhcciuiug by the time Congress meets.
