Address THE TRIBUNE COMPANY, Ho. 15 Canobst, Chicago, lIL MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, IS7L THE KEW FUSE LIMITS. A special committee of the Common Coun cil are preparing an ordinance to prohibit tho erection of wooden buildings within certain prescribed limits. They have hit upon tho plan of dividing tho city into two districts, or circles. In the inner circle tho erection or repair of wooden buildings is to he pro hibited. In the outer ono no wooden build ings aro to be erected more than sixteen feet in height. Additional regulations are to ho proposed regarding lumber yards, planing mills, and oil manufactories and refineries. Some provision will also bo made for the re moval of the temporary structures erected within the limits of the inner circle since the fire. Tho proposed ordinance, if enforced, will be better than nothing, but we think any impartial observer will bear witness that there will be enough wopden buildings for nil proper and legitimate uses, in the outer as well as the inner circle, during the next fifty years, even if not another one is allowed to be erected or repaired, or moved north of Thirty-fifth street, or east' of AVcatcm ave nue. or south of Fullerton avenue. Any competent underwriter from the old world will tell us that the fire, large ns it war, was not half large enough to insura ns against ihe next great conliagratiou—that there is enough worthless combustible mate rial la State street alone, between Twout3’- Kccond ami Harrison, to bnm down all that is left of the South Division—that tho West Division contains scores of streets as danger ous as State street, and that the North Divi sion, at tiie present rate of progress, will soon .be in a more hazardous plight than ever before. The capitalists of other cities and other parts of the world, upon whom we must de pend for the speedy rebuilding of ourbnmed district, vill.be governed in their action very much by what wc do to protect ourselves against another calamity. They will be slow to risk their property in the midst of bo large a pile of kindlings as wo have already col lected, and slower still if we allow more of them to be heaped up. They will charge us a propoilimatcly higher interest, and solv ent insurance companies will {charge ns a pioportionately higher rate of premiums. To allow i\ fivsh lot of wooden shanties to he creeled within any part of the city is to put all existing and ail future buildings, ami their contents, to the cost of higher rab-s of interest and insurance, iu or der to ;»*-t oiiimodate the greed of a compara tively small number of real estate owners and lion-? -movers who want to exact the price of decent brick tenements for pine bar racks. We hope t but the Common Council will erase the license which is proposed to he given for ilu* erection of one-story wooden buildings in,the outer circle; or rather strike olicy.wust sooner osr iatcfncccpt what is offered'him', or starve.; But-thesc men, are overdoing the business," "arid the hrst tiring they Wilt feel will ho tho institution of suits in theiederal Courts, and such an exposure of tho frauds and, tcicks^of-insurance, •fol- Jowedby snmmMy'judsmehts, hs will bring down upon them the contempt. and indignation ‘of, tho -country. Another evasion io .which some of these companies tiro resorting- is the postponement of pay mrenfifor sixty days after proof of loss.'" The assertion is thatthe insured “have no bKvfol ulaiaito any portion of the insurance until after sixty days from proof of loss.** This is not true. Tho del)t accrues at the instant of loss, and is payable npon proof thereof. Any company can pay, as all respectable and sol vent companies do pay, as soon as proof of IcssU Tho sixty-day pretext is but iitnthcr item intha general systems to avoid payment. The company that is really solvent 1 and able to "pay its debts, and ifl iipiiCfct, decs ft9t plead tbc sixty days’ delay That is only resorted to by companies who either arc not able to p*y, or who arc using that delay to compel tho suffering losers to sell their claims for less than what they arc worth. The company that offers to waive the sixty-day clause and pay at a discount of 1, or 2, or 5 per cent a month, confesses that it has tho money, and withholds it to plunder its victimized customers. .Such companies are unworthy to bo included among respectable and honest insurance companies, and should not bo allowed to transact business hero or elsewhere. In honorable contrast with these institu tions aro the companies which arc paying losses as fast as proofs of loss are Hied and ascertained to ho correct. They serve to show what insurance ought always to be, and what it always would be, if tho business were conducted upon principles of honesty, fairness, and justice. ~*12.00 .....12.00 THE WALKS THAT WEBE Chicago has lost a considerable strip of sidewalk in the late fire—over a hundred and twenty-two miles—valued by the Superin tendent of Sidewalks at a little short of a million of dollars. AVe arc glad the Superin tendent of Sidewalks has made this report: first, because there is a certain‘comfort in contemplating exact figures, and a glory in realizing that our burnt walks would have reached from Lake Michigan clear to the mighty Mississippi. if stretch ed thitherward on the straightest possible line. But the Superintendent’s re port is welcome chielly because it shows us that we have such a thing as a Superinten dent of Sidewalks—a fact which would not have appeared from an inspection of the side walks themselves before the fire, or of those which now remain to us in the West Di vision. The facilitiesof Chicago for burning up 122 miles of sidewalk at a single kindling should, under the new regime, be greatly di minished. In the central district, where the grade of the walks is high above that of the lots which they front, the material will doubtless be limestone, as before: but in the residence part of tho city, where all the ground is up to grade, and con crete sidewalks can bo conveniently laid, that material will undoubtedly supplant all others, it being smooth, firm, and fire-proof beyond all other raatcrials. and cheaper than any other fit material. At all events, no consideration shonld tempt tho Council into allowing any‘more pine sidewalks laid, ex cept under the conditions mentioned by us a few days ago. AMEBICAIV COMMERCE The Government of Costa Rica, in Central America, has recently contracted for the construction of a railroad 100 miles long, from the port of Simon, on the Atlantic coast, thence by way of the capital, San Jose, to Alajucln. Tho contract price is $8,000,000, beside the privilege of. importing, iron free of duty. The contractor is also authorized to* introduce coolie labor. Tho track is of the narrow gauge, 3 feet C inches wide. The Republic of Costa Rica is, compared with its neighbors, prosperous mid peaceful. The three cities thus connected arc all situ ated near the line of ten degrees north. The chief industry of tho country is the production of coffee, which is rapidly increasing. The chief port is Punta Arenas on the Pacific coast, from which the coffee is shipped to all pails of the world. Of late years a part of this coffee has been car ried by coasting vessels to San Francisco, to be shipped thence to the East by rail, but the construction of this railroad directly through the coffee country will carry it all to the Atlantic coast. Heretofore the coffee has been transported in ox-c;irts. with wooden wheels, across tho country, to Punta Arenas; hereafter it will bo picked up afc the way stations along tho road which will probablj' he extended to Punta Arenas. Tho move ment of tho natural products of tho country will afford a profitable business to tho railroad, wliich will not depend, like the Panama route, on .tho more transhipment business, which has largely declined since tho construction of the Union Pacific Railway. This development of 'the productive' capacity of the Central American states, is but- a part of tho growth of commerce, which is general in all parts of the southern half of the Amer ican Continent. I Steam navigation is of com paratively recent date iu South American trade, but thodiberal policy of Brazil has made tliat country,.a commercial as well as political empire. At'this time there* arc eight English steamers which ply. between Liverpool and the ports of Para, Moranbam, and Count. Other steamers niii to Rio do Janeiro, the River Plate, and Pernambuco, and a monthly service is kept up fromSonth ampton. The Liverpool;, Brazil, River Plate Company now own eighteen steamers, and there is building a new fleet for tho River Parana Company, whoso vessels call at Bordeaux,' on tho way to Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, and Rosano. In addition tho. Pacific Steam Navigation' Company has twenty-seven steamers employed- To sum up. there arc now seventy-ono steamships carrying the British dag. trading from Eng land to South America, or plying between tho ports on tho Pacific coast northward to Panama. The tonnage of theso steamers will aggregate this year 100,000 tons. The cotton, sugar, tqbacco, coffee, wool, hides, and other products of South America, aro therefore to find their way to Europe. The British exports to South America iu IS7O were about $05,000,000, and aro on tho increase. Tho effect upon tho South American States is most encouraging. Their productions arc in creasing, bringing back to them large addi tions of wealth, and tho hitherto listless and idle populations are becoming active and in dustrious producers. While our American States and sister re publics are thns'espanding into commercial countries, and while every civilized nation has its vessels .carrying away portions of these products and taking back something else in return, tho sight of a vessel' hearing tho United States flag is a novelty. ■ln fact, it is becoming a novelty-in our own ports. Tho English. French, Dutch, Germans, Danes, and Swedes aro steaming into our ports, and all -parts of tho- Ameri can continent, from St.Johns in Newfound land around to Behring’s Straits, offering their sendee to do the carrying business for the various peoples on tho American Conti nent. We are an anomaly among nations. Wc have more iron, of a better quality, and located in extensive quantities in all parts of the country. Onr ores are rich* beyond com parison. inexhaustible supply of every variety of coal. Wo have timber, cotton, and hemp, oil, and turpentine. Wc have in fact everything that is needed to give ns a vast superiority over any other nation in the business of shipbuilding,'and especially of building iron vessels. Wo have tho labor, tho skill, and tho materials. But tho law levies a tax, from which no public revenue is secured, on tho materi als, makingthem so high that no vessel can be constructed intbe United States that could corn enough money id pay the interest on her cost. We have closed every shipyard, and shut up tho once famous machine establish ments. Wc-have-driven the American flag from tho ocean, .lake a dog in tho manger. Congress wilT not permit our mechanics to build ships, nor will it permit merchants to buy foreign-built ships. .The result is that tho continent of North and South America is surrounded by "fleets from all parts of'the world, doing business which wo could do for ourselves, if our own law would penult it. A German philosopher, who evidently had not heard of the'Oycrthrow of Tatamany. has invented a method for hastening the millenni um. ,Ho believes the cause of all sin on -earth is)the same as tho cause of Satan’s fall—ambition. To extirpate sin, therefore, if is only necessary, to do away with-ambi tion; and for this our philosopher has the following -plan: First, abolish names. Let ua have no more John Smiths attempting to convert themselves into John Miltons, nor William Sykeses, aspiring to make William Tweeds of them selves.: Let the people, instead, be numbered like inmates of prisons and rdmshonscs and members of the Legislature,.and, further more, lot the numbers he changed once a all rbnhd.

Probably prop erty is to ho transferred in a similar manner. Everybody being, by this process, deprived of all incentive to get ahead of his neighbor, everybody devotes himself solely to the good of tho whole commuuity/aml all, being vir tuous, are happy. There will, however, be drawbacks to the delightfulucss of this sys tem..

A burglar will like nothing better than to slip but of his popular designation at tho end of the year, and see it conferred upon a promi nent divine, while ho himself takes that of a hank President. But then, perhaps, the coun teracting benefits of the anonymous system would bo fully as great as the drawbacks. As one of the good results of it,- wo should have lio Trains, nor Woodhulls, nor others of that ilk, and for tho sake of that exemption we might endure almost anything. A DILEOiaiA FOR TWEED, New York seems likely to have.a nice ques- tiou for her jurists to decide by-aud-by. If Tweed, as tho papers now think probable, is sent to State Prison for his crimes, which will he considered paramount, his duties to the State as a Senator or os a convict? Thirty thousand of his fel low-citizens (including repeaters) have declared their desire for his services in the former capacity, while only twelve will be allowed to vote npon the question of his eli gibility to the Penitentiary. This would seem to decide tho matter in favor of tho Senatorial functions of tho Boss. Ho has an nounced, very positively, that ho will not re sign his Senatorship, and the statutes throw obstacles in the way of a man’s resigning his seat in the State Prison after having been duly elected thereto, Hcnco Tweed must servo in both capacities. Fortunately there is a Penitentiary, as well as a. Cap itol, at Albany, and Tweed can drop in at tbc latter institution of a morning, tak ing his work with him, as our grandmothers used to do. Perhaps ho will also he favored with a guard of honor, or at least a ball and chain: and if tho fastidious members of the Senate object to sitting side by side with a person who lodges at the Penitentiary, they can he reminded that they have always sat complacently enough with those who ought to have been lodged there. Tho Republicans of tho city o Now York cast a far larger vote at the recent election than ever before smee tlic party was organ ized. Forty thousand is about the highest vote they ever polled in that city. But on last Tuesday they increased their vote to up ward of 54,000, and carried five or six wards— a thing they have never done before. For Secretary of State tho vote cast was as follows: Willors, united Democratic nominee 82.024 Scribner, Republican 54.115 Democratic majority. Tho previous Democratic majorities ranged from 45,000 to 55,000. Last year the Republi can vote was only 04,301, against 87,418 Dem ocratic. Much of the present increase of strength is due to the Germans who have joined the Republican party. Not loss than 10,000 Germans, who have heretofore acted with tne Democratic party, voted the straight Republican ticket, for the first time in their lives. But tho best exhibition of Gorman power was ou Register, for which office General Sigel, Republican, ran against Shandley, Democrat. The Irish voted for thoir coun tryman, Shandley, while the Germans eu ma*Bc fit mil Sigel,” as did all tho Republi cans, with the following magnificent. re sult: Sfpel, Republican, and German candi(late....Bo,OU Sliamlley, Tammany, and Irish coadidate....ss,2(K) gigcl's majority. But tho worst beaten candidate on tbo Tam many ticket was the traitor Ledwith, who ran for Supremo Court Judge. Ho had acted with tho Citizens’ Reform Committee, and protended to bo against Tammany until a fortnight before tho election, when he sold out to Bill Tweed and the Ring thieves for a nomination on their ticket. It will be seen that his perfidy was too glaring and disgust ing even for tho besotted and scoundrelly followers of the “FourC;esars” (seizors), viz.: Barrett, Republican and Reform 87,482 Majority against Lcdwith 41,070 That is what the scamp got for deserting to the Tammany camp. It is plain that wo cannot depend upon England to furnish us with any such supply .of nows sensations as sho has recently un dertaken to do. Sho sent us a noat thing m the way of social and political revolutions, whereby* the Conservatives were to play a sort of leap-frog ga,me, landing away In front of the Liberals in a movement for tho eleva tion of tho working classes. Then this story was denied; then,it was confirmed, with documents, names, and even sig natures of noblo lords .and. ignoble brick masons. Then the whole story was ex ploded with as little shock as Butler’s won derful magazines in front of Fort Fisher. Now the dozen stories of tho Queen’s retire ment,and a consequent regency, go up in a puff of smoko; the storm against Gladstone seems to have blown over; and tho Battle of Dorking to have boon indefinitely* postponed. England must admit that, ns between her and America, iu tho matter of nows sensa tions worth carrying across tho Atlantic at the present cable rates, tho balance of trade is altogether in our favor. The news from Franco is somewhat import ant. The list of diplomatic representatives of the Thiers government has at last been made up, and M- Jules Ferry is tho Minister assigned to tho American Mission. M. Ferry’ is an extreme Liberal —that is, the extreme of law-abiding Liberalism —and lias been distin guished in the debates of the Corps Legislatif, and algo as a member of the French Govern ment. >A‘ more important piece of intelligence, however, is the announcement, on the- strength of an “interview” which some one has had with M.Tfiiers, that, on the meeting of tho Legislative Assembly, early iti December, tho Provisional Execu tive will propose the immediate establish ment of n definitive republic. This is good news, if true. Any movement which tho affairs of Franco can make, either now or next year, will ho scarcely hotter than a leap in'tho dark; but, in view of* tho ago of M. Thiers, on whom tho moderate and liberal canulono rely at present, and the activity of the intriguers for divers, would-bo monarchs; it is unquestionably better that th® leap shohld be made soon—the sooner tho better. A’ great deal of inconvenience will-inevita bly result from the scattering of our city traffic, and especially from the separation of the. two principal business -sections by a blank area, necessitating three or four miles of travel between the centres of the two. This inconvenience is greatly increased by the present unhappy condition of the streets —tans lights, sans sidewalks, sans every thing, except a narrow thoroughfare, skiited by palisades of deiris, and crowded with 'wagons, whoso drivers are invariably in d hurry, -The tide of travel along soveral-of-these streets-is very great, extending well into the night at this season of the year. "The" Board of Public Works ought to fnmish at ones at least a sidewalk on; one Side -of 'one of .the" cast-and-west streets,'from the river to Wabash avenue.

Generally speaking.prlces on nearly all articles’ were without important change from yesterday, ad vices from other markets being quite favorable. Shippers purchased lots than on Friday, whllethe speculative movement was liberal. Hlghwines were in good demand, nod as the of ferings were comparatively light, sellers had the a dvautage.nnd succeeded In forcing an advance of ia2c—the market closing strong ats£c for iron bound packages. Sales were 600 brla at 87c; 100 brls «t 880. Lake freights were quiet at nominally un changed rates. Thoro-wus some inquiry for ves sels, but exporters were not generally willing to pay asking rates. A total of five charters were reported—one for wheat, throe for corn, ono for oats and ono for lye. Rates were 5 340 on oats, 7 l-2c on corn, and 8c on wheat, by sail,to Buffalo.

At times there was considerable excitement, and activity, then again quiet pre vailed and prices would drop back, tho result of conflicting advices from other markets. Specula tors were tho principal operators, tho amount taken for shipment being small, generally to fill out cargoes now-nearly made up. As compared with Friday, prices averaged about l-2o better, as holders were not particularly anxious to sell unless at about their own figures, and tho majority of despatches quoted improved markets elsewhere. Early sales of No. 2 spring were at $1.20, cash, advanced-to $1.20 34 for strictly fresh, and closed steady-at $1.20 3-8a1.20 1-2.

Corn was l-4c better, nnd moderately active at the appreciation, which was caused by a good de mand on shipping account, and a determination on the part ot holders to receive better figures, they being stimulated by tho presence on tho mar ket of two or three prominent shippers. About all the car-lots of fresh receipts oflered were taken, while but very few round lots wero sold, or; for that matter, offered. New corn is arriv ing more freely, nnd generally inspects No. 2.
