The idling* will turn out their old inmates to vote tlie ticket of their friends; and. unless tho business men directly interested attend the pdlls. the government of the city ’will be handed over to its worst enemies. There is an inimen-c amount of money loaned in Chicago, on mortgage, by corpora tions at.the Hast. These mortgages amount to many millions of dollars. These corpora tions have. In answer tore nests from their debtors h*re. stated that they will wait un til they see what Chicago will do for herself. 3f the people will electa government, com posed of honest men—men who have not been hivelved in any of the disreputable proceed ings of the past—it is likely that they will not only cxt« :sd the mortgages as they fall due, but they will advance other millions to restore the improvements destroyed. Tlie.sc Companies, however, frankly state that money loamd to build property, which is fcubjcct to the legislation 'of a city govern meat •lot'jfd with unlimited power a< to dis bursement. :s. in faer. a loan subject‘to the control of that government. If the city of Ohieago. in her distress, has not. a proper ftenxe of what is due to her creditors, and to iho-e of whom sln jjsks aid: and in sults public intelligence by deliberately handing her city government »u all its branches over to the control of the profes sional mendicants who live upon public Ijfc’sils, then they cannot expect that capital Kill do otherwise than protect Itself accord ingly. It will make an immense difference to thou.-and i oi our business men if mortgages to the amount of ten or twelve millions of dollars Ik> foreclosed or extended by the cor porations win* await the result of this elec tion to determine their action. If the mer chants, real estate owners, builders, and ImsincKi mm of Chicago advertise that the city of Chicago has committed its govern ment to the hands of the corruptionists, they will do themselves personally, and the city generally, a greater injury than was wrought by Iho lire. The only way the Union ticket can be de le.atcd Is by the omission of business men to vote on Tuesday, and each man who omits to vote will oik himself a loss fargreater than tan be rcnicdi-.-d by years of toil. If will not. mi Tuesday, take -any voter jiltt-en nnmitcs to go to his accustomed pre dict and vine, and each vote, by averting the calamrty of a bummer city government, will avert foreclosures of mortgages, extor-. 1 innate rates of interest, contraction of busi ness, and annihilation of credit. We there fore appeal to the members of the Board of tirade individually, to tho merchants and traders, to the builders and lumbermen, to tho mechanic* and workingmen, to receivers :;ml shippers.— to all who wish The credit of the city to stand fair before those of whom we must have money with which to Imild and repair, to sacrilieeone half-hour on Tues day to vote for the rnbm ticket. The pres ent election in this city is attracting univer sal attention. It is onr first trial. The result is to determine whether we have energy enough to cast mVcomiptimi and inefiicieuey and put moil known everywhere to be honest and incorruptible in control of our city gov ernment. Tin* w hole country is ready to help n-. if wc will show a dispnsit ion to help our aelvcs. If we. however, confess that we have not hpirit. nr.r honor, nor manliness enough to rescue tho city from the control of official luonduanJ* ami professional corruptionists; if wo prevo recreant to our interests; if wc refuse to give mm hour to arrest a financial crash Mioii.v has never befallen ns, wo will be but inviting calamity for sake. :»ml precipitating that ruin which wo so lomliy profe-s our desire to prevent. TO BI'MINEN* ZTIKIV. If Hie business men and property-owner* go to t!i? polio on Tuesday Jtbe Fire-Proof Union ticket will be elected*by ten thousand majority, -.f they are so absorbed in their private bt. .:ness that they do not vote, the Msillawag ticket will be elected. Thobusi men and property-owners have tbo whole rune in their own hands. It rests with them tc say which ticket shall lie elected. If they want to see the heavy money loud er* of tho East call in their Chicago loans ami aell out their Chicago mortgages, and take 1 heir money to some more secure place frtr in vestment, they can accomplish all this by tbo simple process of absenting themselves Jrom tho polls on election day, and allowing the city government to pass into the hands of Jim Kcallawaes. They will have taxes f-uough to pay iu any case. If they want to lie. taxed out of existence they can accom plish this also by puttering over their coun ters on election day aud allowing the hungry aud corrupt swarm of professional politician* to cstahli.sh themselves in office during the next two yearn. If the holders real estate want the titles of all the laud in the comity to be made a feast for dcad l>eat lawyer* for the uext five years, they can heip amazingly to achieve that res alt by omitting to vote next Tuesday. We believe that all the classes we have named have received a scorching that will Imng them to the polls now, even if-they xu-ver were there before. But wo tell them that there is need of their votes, and that if they are not on band, doing their duty on election day, they will repent bitterly on the morrow, and many a long day thereafter. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the proud scheme in which the Tory Peers of "England were to unite with the workingmen, aod. agreeing upon a scries of measures, were to outflank Mr. Gladstone and tho Liberal party. That such a scheme was contemplated is true. Certain Peers, unknown, made over tures, tlirougb an agent, to a committee rep resenting one of the trades, and asked of the latter a statement of their demands.” The l«njon who acted as the agent of tho Lords :md the workingmen modified these dc sunnds. and at last reported to the working 3uen that the Lords had aceeeded to them, lint who the consenting Lords-are has not Ik*cu divulged. The Marquis of Salisbury, Who was named as one of the parties to the treaty, repudiates it aa inadmissible, and nq nobio Lord” has as yet bpd the courage to avow himself its fricad. The the particular society- of woridngmc* H make a treaty binding upon tliu whole body. in alto universally denied,. Mr. Disraeli has not, to far, expressed any approval of the measure, and, after having served as a sensa* turn for a few weeks, tho union of the Mobil ity and the workingmen has ceased. HOLDEN’S 813.000. Mr. G. C. P. Holden, we understand, de claims that he paid “that money” over to Mr. Gage, the City Treasurer. No dtfnht Sir. Holden b:ta paid rom« money t# Mr. Gage, Imt what money? Has ho ever rendered mine eouatof all tho sums he received and the disposition he made of them from tho 9th of October te the 13th of Octohetf when tho whole business was handed over to tho Relief Society The facts are just these; On Sun day. the 15th of October, Mr. Hidden said ho had $15,000 in his breeches 'pocket and ho didn’t propo&o to part with it to tho Relief and Aid Society. On the 18th of October the Chairman of the Executive Committee ad dressed to Mr. Holdcu a respectful letter, re vesting him to hand oyer that $15,000 where it belonged. To this letter Mr. Holden made no reply, thus tacitly holding to liis original position—that he had the money and meant to keep it. It is no answer now to this to say that he has paid money to Mr. Gage. Wo arc quite will ing to grant that ho lias accounted for tome money, but the question is, what money? He has not yet explained away the fact that ho said, puhlicly,*that ho had $15,000 which he meant to keep, and, when requested, officially, to account for it, declined to give an answer. c don't mean to do Mr. Holden any injus tice. belt wc submit that a general statement, without any detailed account-current of his trust as a Treasurer, that he has paid moneys to Mr. Gage, docs not necessarily cover the $15,000 which ho said he meant to keep, and about which he has declined, to give any an swer, when officially approached by the Chairman of .the Executive Committee. B9GVEI TO THE REAR! It poems to bo a very bad year for public rogues, whether of a political, religious, or other sort. Tweed and his confederates, wiio* for years have preyed with impunity upon the people: of Now York, are now for the first time brought face to face with jutite. Hodge, tho gambling Paymaster, who stole from the National Treasury during a long series of years, has only this fall been forced into a. confession, and awarded the penalty duo to his crimes. Bullock, tho scaly Georgia Governor, trembling under tho terror of au imiieaclunent, has been com pelled to resign his authority anil betake himself to parts unknown. Brigham Young, who has added manifold crimes to lut> flagrant. religious imposture, and practised them nil with impunity until within u few weeks, is now a fugitive from justice, surrounded by a feeble body-guard resembling that which followed the leader of the bogus Southern Confederacy into the trap set tor him by our blue-coated cavalry bo». Indeed, circumstances scotn to confirm the theory which some entertain, that events move in cycles, and that the present season i*:m epoch of retribution. The people seem to bo generally aroused in bobalf of good government and honesty in public men. In Chicago we have had a terrible visitation which has forcibly drawn our attention to all the serious aspects of tho situation. I fence* the people are more disposed than usual to take the management of pub lic attaint out of the hands of the corrupt politicians who have packed our primaries and dictated our nominations of late. From this determination resulted the casting down of the partisan burriuiw which have been hitherto the point of vantage of the corrup tionists. and the nomination of the Fire- Proof Union ticket which stands elsewhere in our columns. From this determination will result tho election of this ticket on Tuesday next, and the utter diacomliturc of the demagogues and log-rollers. TDK HOI,UK* HVHTBD OF ISSIB- ASV E, The Now York Tribune Ua* (ho following upon our Chicago insnrauco business: “It must be not a little mortifying to the peo ple of Chicago to •list-over that their uvvu insur ance companies arc tin- weakest ami most- dis honestly managed of all tluit they have depended u]K>n. Tin* statement which we print this morn ing show* a shameful slate; of thing* in the man agement of these Chicago concerns; ono of them bail, in Chicago alone, risk- which amounted to nearly twenty time?. Us u*set*. to say nothing of their busmens outside of the citv." This xs literally true, and is direct result of the policy introduced by the Holden family of taxing all Eastern and foreign in surance companies, bo as to render it expen sive for them to do business here. Several European, and some fifty or more of tho best Eastern insurance companies refused to do business here under the Holden tax Jaws. These laws were invented to compel our l»eople to insure in Chicago companies, of one of which the chief Holden wanforyeare the principal officer. That company, the Fire men's. has outstanding risks of $18,303,805; assets, $:573,.V>4 This same company, with a capital stock of §300.000. paid its stockholders last year SBO,OOO dividends (or 40 per cent', and from the beginning has divided among them $1,500,000 of profits. Ten thousand persons arc beggared to-clav because of the bankruptcy of this company. This is the legitimate fruit of the Holden policy; foreign insurance companies driven mu by high taxes in order to build uptbesa home insurance companies. POTATO ISC<;n.

Chicago, Nov. 4. THE BUBNT DISTRICT. Favorable Progre** in Clearing Atrny'ibr Rubbish Preparatory to Building—A Large Number of BricU and Frame Mtrnctnre* Already in Conroe of Erec tion. The condition of the burnt di-triet on the South Side, i* just now remarkably altered from what it was immediately after the tire. Then a few sight seers wandered on foot among smoking ruins and wondered how Immense buildings could have shrunk Into so small a space, and read the occa sional signs, mid looked at the workmen as they were extricating safes. Now those same streets have on both sides, walls of brick and piles of stone, while hundred* of teams are loading with broken bricks, crumbling mortar, and old Iron. and arehurrying off as rapidly as the crowded streets will permit, to tvturu for now loads. Then? Is everywhere life and bustle and animation. ITere carpenter* are working—then*, masons arc rushing np buildings. The relics of the old city mid the building material of the now an* laying side by side, and the voices of aim crying This way for your relies of the great tire," and shouting out for More brick this way.” blcud past and future in one absurd confusion. It is so pleasant to see anything going up in the burnt district that the erection of n frame build- ing is hailed with delight, and the man who runs up a shanty is called a public benefactor. Natur ally prone to magnify- things as wc are, ten bounce become a hundred, and a two-story brick a palace. While hundreds of building i*cnulls have been granted. Very few have begun the erection of building*, and the principal work now. and for some time to come, will be the clearing away of rubbish. aud the get ting ready to build. Naturally. uc» little time ha* to tie spent in removing the Heap* of brick and stone, intermingled with Iron pillars and beam*, and. while tho tire wa* nearly four week* ago, yet the ruin* still smoke in raanv place*, and it i* rather difficult to manage tho heated debris. Thl« business of clearing away i* pushing for ward with great rapidity, about the only limit to it being the inability to get team* and workmen. There an* few street* when' work of this kind is not doing and on some, like Michigan avenue— north of Lake street, along where the iron men wore, remarkable progre** has been made. aud next week nil owning along tlx*re will be read}'to begin building. Michigan avenue l* especially noticeable at this moment, since it is the best built up strcet.’north of Congress. The Lake Park is now covered with completed or nearly finished Raines, and the walls of one or two brick build inc3 a»” e rapidly going up. There are even slde \rll"V-1 ti-err* rn the west side of the street, frames havp boon ntn tin, nn.Ujo or throe brick build incs are erected or erecting. There i- now the commercial centre, bo far CC *bC burned-out part of the South Side Is coneernad. There are ai*o brick store* going up on avenue, near Madison street; on Wabash avenue, ln-twecn Randolph and Washington on Pmnklin near Lake street; at the corner of Dearborn and Jackson streets; on Dearborn near Jackson at the corners of Clark and Adams, Clark and Madison, State and Water. Water and Wabash avenue. Washington and Market. Market near Madison. Washington near Franklin. Wells and Randolph, Washington and. Dearborn, and at a few itolnts south of Jackson street, while next week, when the debris I* more removed, the num ber will bo greatly increased on all these streets: also, frame building*, some of them of consider able size, have been erected. They meet the eye- as one crosses Randolph street bridge; they line Market street; they arc on Franklin near the river, and which ever way one turns he sees tbczn appearing. There will not, however, be as many of them as was once expected. It Is on the North Side tint frame buildings arc to be looked for. South of tho rivtr they ore to be of brick. Work on the new sandstone front, on the south west comer of Washington and Dearborn-si*., is promt sMng rapidly, as well as on The Thibcke and First National Bank buildings. Egaa'a new store on Madison near Well*. 1* nearly up, and the brick block on Madlson-at.. near the river. 1* going on with good speed. Work has also begun on tho Clark street bridge, and it Ik hoped that it wllibo dene before the expiration of the sixty days required by the contract. □Tie building erecting for the city on the Water Lot is also rapidly approaching completion, while Potter Palmer is hurrying up the Slate Street Hotel as much as possible. Tho business of build ing is thus in a very imperfect and scattered state at present; but in two weeks more, if tho I pleasant weather holds. It will be in a far more I advanced and cheering condition. I Information Wanlrd.

ANOTJIKR WlllTfl STOCKINO liHPKAT. Hew York World, H«r. An exceedingly Interesting nud well-contested gniue wan jflayed yoAterdaj- afternoon on the Un ion ground**, Wiliiamsburgh, between the White Stocking nine, of Chicago, and tlie Mutual*, of thin city. The attendance was very small, which was the more to be regretted. a« the Chicago men have been considerably inconvenienced by the disaster which recently befel their oity, and a good sum taken at the gate would have considera bly benefited them. As it was, however, they did not permit this to interfere with their endeavor to win, playing an exceedingly cred itable game throughout, and the wonder was that, laboring under the disadvantages they played nnder. they should have done so well. On this occasion they appeared in the costume of the old Eckford Club, ttielr uniforms, with their other effects, having Ik*cii entirely destroyed during the great lire. Bodes being slightly disabled played right field. Instead of in bis ordinary position ns catcher, and the want of .playing boots seemed also to greatly Inconvenience thu White Stocking men. For the Mutes Tike, of the Haymakers, played second base, and Martin, of the fcckfunls, pitched. Mr. John Crura, of the Union Club, having been chosen umpire, game was called ab y:OS p. in., the Mutes to the bat. In the first inning Hatfield succeeded in reaching the home plaK*, scoring the only run they ob tained that inning, but the Whites, thanks to two very bad throws by Ferguson, succeeded In tally ing two runs. In tho second inning both allies retired without scoring, and the third ended with a tie at three runs each. From this out the Chi cago man failed to manage the effective pitching of Martin, and were whitewashed six times In succession, but the Mutuals contrived to put on three mu* in the fourth, two in the fifth, and four ki tho eighth inning, thus winning by a score of 11 to 3. Egcler’s play ia the centre field was worthy of all praise—several difficult firs 'being taken by him with apparent ease, while Bitfield appeared to great advantage Jut the bat. Treaey also playedwell at the centre field. Tho lollowiug is THE SCORE. CHICAGO. O. B. n. T. MUTCAt- O. R. U. T.

BILLIARDS. now t.vnMKit was swrxni.ro. A private letter from Albert Gander! received yesterday, contains some severe rcfiivtioijs us to 1 be manner he was treated in New York bv Chris O’Connor. Daly’s right-hand man. The* match was played upon a table which Daly had used for practice, and the cushions of which wore old and hard, the understanding being that a new cloth and now cushions were to be supplied for the evening of the match. When the time came Gar- MW, to his infinite surprise and irritation, discov ered that nothing hut new cloth had been put on the table. Hie eiishlims being the same hard, -low ones with whleh. as his scheming opponents had noticed, he had lieen unable to do little nr nothing during his brief practice, while Daly, who had had time to thoroughly accustom himself to the table, was entirely at home. Gamier wa* dis appointed and aggravated at the evident unwil llngness to accord him a fair show to win. and i-j free to draw a comparison between Dalv’.- treat ment in Chicago, and that which he (Gander) re ceived in New York. Gamier is a perfect novice in nil tho«c peculiar crooks and turn- which en ter into the preliminaries of n billiard on the result of which men not over-*eriipulona have staked large Mtms.and it is altogether proba ble that he got u long way the worst of the thing m New York.

The pa-t week La* been anything but a succiw ful one. flnanelally, for amusement enterprise. There has I*een no lack of strong attraction, nor of excellent entertainment, but there has been, ou 'the part of the resident public,* a lack of Inclina tion to be entertained. People are too busily en gaged in endeavoring to remain independent of the Belief and Aid Society, In consultation with the architect* and contractor*, and in maturing plans and discussing prospects, to have any time for the theatre. This appear*, unmistakably, to bo the fact, and there would seem to be no good mason why it should not be candidly stated, so 1 0M contemplating amusement enterprises in Chicago may know what to expert. Miss Jane Coombs and her excellent company gave entertainments nt Standard Hall on Wed nesday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday even ings of last week, producing such sterling stand ard pieces as Loudon Assurance,’' Love’s Sac rifice,*’ The Love Chase,” the World of Fash ion," and the Lady of Lyons,” in each of whleh Miss Coombs has made a reputation second to no other living artist. Yet the attendance was not large, and the short season was not a decided financial success. At the Glolh* Theatre the box shoots have made a beggarly exhibit, although the attractions were of the very best. Miss Blanche Dcßar made her first appearance ns lending lady” on Moudav night, but the fact that she is the most pleasing of ac tresses and one of the prettiest of women, that the plays have licet) good, and the company ex ceedingly strong, embracing such favorites as Mr*.

Total WSO cars), 300,000 There was a slightly easier feeling In the grain market* to-day, but they were again active, both speculatively and for shipment. The easier fool lug was due to a rather weak tone in New York which seems to arise from the certainty of further liberal receipts from the West. The shipping de mand was good, scvcral.partles taking hold wil lingly at the redaction recently established, as Ibey wish to take advantage of the lower rates of freight now ruling toy lake, which will soon toe closed. If this grain arrives In New Yorkbytho beginning of winter. It will pay well. In competi tion with that received there per the higher tariff all mil route. And there is no doubt that New York will want very large quantities this winter. Lower prices always stimulate consumption. Up to n week ago New York had received piuco January last 20,000,C00 bn wheat, and 23.250.0u0 bu corn, against 17,000X100 bn wheat, and 7,250,000 bu com m same time la«t year, and yet their stocks thcrourc small. The enormous increase in the consumption of coni Is partially attributable to the dry seasoa. which caused a material diminution In the supply of feed and pasture. The shipping Inquiry was. however, rather loss active than yesterday—as is usual on Saturday. Bui there was a larger amount of speculative trading, and the indications arc that before long the volume of business in this direction will be equal to that before the lire. |kThe resolutions offered yesterday by E. B. Stev ens. asking the Insurance companies to reduce their rates on grain and warehouses, were adopted to-day without dissent, and a committee of three appointed to visit the officers of the insurance companies, and press the matter on their atten tion. The committee consists of E. B. Stevens, J. B. Lyon, and B. F. Murphey. llighwiuos were inactive and weak, being nom inally mac lower.
