The St, Louis‘J?fj)wMi<»ii, a'ehott tlmeslnce, had a long editorial juhderrGio? heading of this article, which, fairly stated the “.three stapes or conditions of* feeling that inraria- bly follow such pr colossal calamity as; that ■\yhich has recently smitten Chicago from its pride of place,"and prostrated it; temporarily at least, in the dust of humiliation.” First conics 44 tho horror and despair.which over comes the stoutest heart when compelled to witness or endure the destructive forcoe;o£ nature.” Seecoid, 44 a ceriam nervous, spas inodic energy,-iivwhicli the mind seeks relief from the cnuHionaF effects Of tha terrible visitation.” Third, the gradual return, of mental cquilihrihnvwhen tho sitnntion-is calmly and intelligently viewfcd; and* the community, having formed something 1 like" an accurate estimate of the misfortune, confront the task olrccoustruction.” In tho opinion of the" VcjutbJicah', Chicago' has now reached this third step in her hitter emer gency. Regarding the loca the ..vTiijiniy come to the conclu sion that the actual amount is not likely: to be ascertained. It went, howeyer, a .step too far in giving Trie Tribune he its author-' ity for jilnciugtho loss tbo neighborhood of $100,000,000;”’ 'The motive charitably as signed for naming this sum 44 is a natural de sire to lessen the magnitude of the blow, aud place the prospects of tho city in the Vest possible light.” And this isldone, it .would seem, with the view to deceive 44 this rough, practical, and slightlyseliish world” into in vesting its spare funds in the effort to repair the waste places of Cliicago. Chicagoans have always claimed to he very practical, matter-of-fact people, and, judged by their acts, the claim may ho considered well established. Nothing could he more firmly roofed aud grounded in their minds than the simple fact, tliat a false showing of their affairs is not likely to help them in bringing to their *aid, in the, work ot. reconstructing their city*, the capital of those living outside thfeir borders. The Me* yuhlicau seems not to comprehend this Would it he very uncharitable -to suppose' that it docs not want to do so Or that what it so slyly imputes to Chicago would have been practised by St. Louis were she reduced o the condition of the former?- The licjmhJican is not ovc r-sangnine as *to Chicago’s ability to recover from the calam itj* that has come upon her. At the best, she has a hard road to travel, the cud of which she is not likely* to roach in a hurry. “Were it not for the network of railways,” with which, thanks to her foresight and liberality, she has surrounded herself, “she would never lift her head to half its former height.” So'Enys tho Republican and wo must, of course, bow to tbe decision of so august an authority! .But, then, Chicago 7ms her great railway system, and, what is far more to the point, she is -going to keep and use it wisely aud well. Take comfort, O Chicago I for tho RrjmMicmi has declared that, with tho aid of your railways, you 44 may, aud proba bly will, cling to the old eminence.” Taken as a whole, tho Republican's ser mon is a most amusing medley of sense aud nonsense, —the latter largely predominating. After describing, as of the flimsiest charac ter, the buildings now being put up, which is perfectly tine, it gravely asserts that 44 no decent insurance rcompanyavill issuejjoliciea ueiusuic u, 01 couisc ’uo one in the Last wifl dare to sell merchandise to Chicago. It was meet that this .should'bo? followed hy tbe assertion that 44 It should he horho in mind, 100, that the unburnt portion of. the city is not much, if any, bettor than the tinder-box quarters where the flames originated. An other kerosene lampkicked over by a cow might easily finish what is left; at least, W donvriters will be apt to take this view of the subject.” Kotv, if any underwriter lias been so silly a? “to lake this viewof the subject,” a sub scription should forthwith be started to boy him a ticket on some out-going train. Notb ing is impossible, but it is Highly improbable' that Chicago will again be destroyed by fire, —at least, not till that great and terrible daj comes to consume the earth, and even St. Louis may not i"scape Us ravages. The extraordinary vigilance of onr people, as shown m the. precautions they have adopted to guard against and suppress A* cniellj on aeeonnt of iittr temporary build ings, makes Chicago to-day a not extra-haz-, aidonsrek.

Our Springfield correspondent has fur nished a statement, of some of the perplexi ties which embarrass tho Legislature in the consideration of the bill to reorganize the revenue system of the State. Land is an im movable property, always visible, and can bo readily found by an. assessor of taxes. Not a footof taxable land withiu.tho State escapes hia visitation.The. .owners of this land, finding themselves thus taxed, natural ly seek to have every other description .of property taxed in the same, manner. It is bccausatho land-owners arc taxed, that ’onr .Revenue,bill -is made as searching and as sweepingasit is. But thexesxilt is not quite satisfactory.! Porsonal property docs csoap o assessment, and much of that which is assessed "escapes 'taxation because of the want of means' toenforce -the payment of the tar.' Upon the subject of personal tax,’tho farmers t)£ this State honest 13% but unconsciously, op press*.themselves.- Tho personal property: au a farm is easily computed. Every man in the*agricultural* districts, knows exactly howtnany horses, cows, mules,! cattle, hogs sheep, wagons, carts, and'’implements, each of his neighbors has, and can estimate to a dollar; the value of the household furniture .and buildings owned hy every other farmer in those districts there is nothing that es -capes taxat ion, and the assessments are close ly, collected, j But, in cities, towns, aridvil -Inges, tliecase is different. There the assess ment and payment of personal tax is the ex- Taking put the taxes paid by. banks, _ and totherj incorporated companies, .whoso books can bo. reached, it will be found, upon examination, .that, the groat bulk of the tax paid on personal property in this State is paid by. tho farmers —by"thejamo men who pay toxes on the lan(L.:Thd attempt to roach “capitalists,” •and those who are supposed to “live high,” Tea doadfaiiure. are about the -oniypersons who are caught by tbo sweep ing piwl I yM^i»iJ“ r rurlo»onO of tbo E(}V cmie bill; “Still, the desire to hunt capital" is issatiablei Capital is rcgairdcd very much as a -irplf \rjjs, rrlieii the State accepted his scalp in payment of taxes.,, The Revenue bill •is framed-upon tho theory that capital is such a iaonstor that it mnat-bc extirpated after tho manner of thistles. One of the great complaints in the agricul tural districts has been that the rate of iu tcrest is so high that farmers are unable to borrow money to make improvements, buy machinery.or stock. So groat has'been this hardship that it has heen seriously proposed in the Legislature to mjko.it penal to ask, in certain counties, any more than 6 per cent, for tho useofmpnev. Has it ever occurred to these persons that taxatio»has very much to do-with ihe rent or hire of money? The national bonds oiler the best standard of tho value of money. These bonds, at present prices, do not pay their holders over 151; per cent, interest.. Tho live per cents’, known as 10*40 bonds are within a fraction of par in gold. If, money were worth more than that, no person would continue his investments in that line of securities. The difference be tween that standard of money rent and tho rent demanded for its use on other security, is dne to a variety of oanacs, of which taxa tion Is the principal one. One of tho special objects of attack in all theso legislative rev enue bills arc mortgages. The whole popula tion wants to borrow money on mortgage, and are wildly excited upon the subject of tho rates of interest, yet it is considered In ghly improper for any person to suggest that mortsagesonght not to ho taxed. As suming that tho aggregate tax for all pur poses in a county is 2 per cent, it is expected that will be carried to that county and loaned at G per cent, the louder to pay 2 per cent tax on tbo investment. In every town and village in all tbo State there arc men who fail to un derstand whj T money will not seek invest mentin mbrtgnge, where it can ho taxed; and there are intelligent persons who fail to understand that, when money is loaned on a mortgage that is to he taxed, tho lender ne cessarily includes in his interest and other charges the amount of tho tax, and thus com pels the borrower to pay the tax, not only on the property mortgaged, but also on tho amount of (he mortgage.. Yet are .gon ial contribute to support the State.” Kd proposition is plainer than that a tax upon mortgages is the levy, of a dupli eatc tax upon the mortgaged property. Parmer Smith has land worth SIO,OOO. This he mortgages for the sum of $5,000, and with the money thus obtained erects buildings, or buys hoi scs and cattle. The Assessor values the farm with the-additional property at $15,000, .and; it pays taxes accordingly. But there is-alsoa -tax on the mortgage, which tax,'being included in the interest, is also, paid hy the borrower, who therefore pays a tax on $20,000 of property, when ho’ has hut £15.000 in aIL If, instead of taxing every manner and form of business upon gross earnings, to bo ascertained bydiiqnisitonal researches into private aflairs, thcStatc might substitute a license system, graded according to tho char acter of thq business I ,'\ho revenue of the State would bo largely increased from this source, and thousands who no w pay no tax afali, and never will pay any nuderthe present system, wonld bo compelled to pay their just proportion. A license system, properly adjusted, would yield more revenue to tho State pan is now obtained from taxes on personal property, and would reach an immense class- who- now pay no tax.- A re-’ pciil of all taxes on personal property could ■then- tako place, ami the greatest relief ■afforded -by, such- repeal wbtild'bo to' the farmers, who how pay taxes on the Inst sheen and bog. w)ieu other classes practically os caisi that tax. CAJOLING THE APACHES. Mr. Vincent Colycr paid a visit recently lo bis: ApncJu.’*. v. .A show (iuioafter.wiird.tlio Apaches made a (b-seeiit upon the citizens and travellers in Arizona, lunrdeniig. and scalping, among others, a stage roach full 0 f Eastern pooplo, Ihe relatioh between Dicso two eirenin staiiccs. as cause and effect, is-fuUy as elo,o as the proximity of tbelr mention would in- 1 lUcate.

In the settlement of this question tho SAvagehas these advantages that he is fa-, miliar with tho Territory and and with the stylo of fighting which most he re sorted to there, and that he is entirely unre strained by any civilized regulations as to tho means by which he shall'inflict injury .upon his natural enemy, the white pioneer. The hosts of civilization, on tho contrary,: have the advantage of superior intellect, to organize and fortify against the fiends of tho scalping knife, and to combine a portion'of them against another, so. that, perchance, one Apache may rid the world of another, and thus demonstrate that, in-the vast economy of, nature, oven Apaches wore not made in vain. I Of tliis advantage- Mr.. Vincent Colyer, armed with lus authority as Commissioner of the government, comes in and rohs tho civilized element. Tho moment General Crook had'perfected a'system of defence against the ‘bloody raids of the Apaches up on the citizens of Arizona, Colyer came dash ing up, as a potent ally of the savages. Ho steers straight hy all tho white men of tho Territory,, taiid goes for l the moat influential Apache in, each neighborhood,—, ’thb j'BoSs Tweed of '-a-particular tribe. Him lie approaches; hearing precious gifts of rod blankets,, scalping-knives, tobacco, whiskey, rifles, gunpowder, and stove-pipe hats. He. says to hhn; .‘.“My dear Bluc-Gizzard-of-the- Night (or whatever the influential Apache’s name may be), 1 heg you will accept these as a token that the Great Father loves you, and wishes to make a good citizen and a member of .Congress of you. -These soldiers aud vigi lants who try to shoot you are bad mon. We. are your true muds. Be virtuous, now, dear Bluc-Gjzzard-of-the-Moon; and wo twill give you iomg more fire-water and. gunpowder hy* and byl Good dny.”, And; Hr. Vincent Colyer departs for. the wigwam of the next: influential' ."Apache^—perhaps the Chief of tho Pinal -Apaches, .or the Ton-‘ tae, or tlio C-oybteros,. or-the Vovapais—tho last named being one of tho tribes who hrivo' ..fiono iutb tho Apache business’(scalbiueljinii. assumed the name of that tnbo as a formal and deliberate .declaration of tlieix intention, to make war ni>on tho white race henceforth. But Mr. Vincent Colyer takes care, that he gets out of the 5 way of his hopeful before their supply of groceries gives put, or is sold out, so that the inevitable reaction accompanying that fact does hot fall upon the head of Vincent Colver. The consequences of this kind of policy to ward the Apaches are such as *we hoard of tho other-day. when the coach-load of passen gers on the road "were massacred by some of Mr. Colycris favorite braves. Other consequences are the necessity of many soldiers and many Quartermasters, and much demoralization of society and hindrance of civilization in the far West; and, because tho citizens of Arizona do not standstill and bo sfcalpcd with a good grace, they arc much declaimed against by Vincent Colyer as frontier ruffians who court death by their belligerent manners. The fact is! that Vincent Colyer and his policy are more’ responsible than any. other cause for the re cent misery and slaughter among the inhab itants of tho frontier. Ho is a missionary with a single idea, and has, as a matter of course, run that idea into, .the ground. The great desideratum, so far as tho Indians and pioneers are concerned, is peace; and the term Peace Commission, has a taking sound phut so long as the Peace Commission, or any due'acting with the prestige of their authority, go to work, with the ostensible purpose of peace, to undo the only work which promises peace (and wo allude here to General Crook’s late operations), ha acts not in the interests of peace, hut of war aud bloodshed,'of which the pioneers of civiliza tion are the most numerous victims. Tlio Eibhmond Enquirer prints the follow ing letter in explanation of the vindictive feeling which has cropped ont in the South, to some extent, since the Chicago lire, mani fest ing itself in certain newspaper articles rejoicing over the terrible event. A good deal of this vindictiveness has connected it- self with an alleged letter from a "promi nent” Chicago newspaper concern, which contained an insulting tender of a Confed erate note in aid of some Southern charity. This insulting letter has, in some cases, been charged upon The Tribute, and ono fellow -tihe I\iKtni.'isft-r of a Georgia town) trans tle, refr'~* o, referring to the subject, and enclosing;!

This sbems to be a little obscure. For example, tho amend ment conferred suUrage upon, tho negroes in tho Southern States, and made them citizens, Now, cjm a Southern court deny citizenship toAiriffins ou tho ground that, while fhc constitution gives them the rights, the rights go by default oceans* the accessory legisla tion was not passed.

This woman's question has been handled by malo and fe male demagogues almost from the start and if anything ought to prejudice people’s minds against tho .immediate acceptance of it. it is tho fact that it has not been made an honest issue. It has not been candidly put forward, and left to the operations of reason and examination but is sought to be stolen in by the artifice of defining a woman to have meant the same as a male negro. An issue bat half understood, seriously considered only bv small minority, and jot .vast enough in‘its application to double the number of voters under tho government, can bo crowded iii br no such course as this mere legal quibble Many of our politicians are dfimagogiag on the subject; a few think well of it after re flection liut neither of thoso two classes would hail, what is colled tho emancipation of woman j accomplished by an implication instead of by intention, wo would like to see some better women, anyway, around tho Capital, handline tho womon-Safirago mat ter.

John W. Young, son of, Brigham by hia first wife, hud a native’ of Nauvoo, Illinois, has been here for parts of two days, on busi ness connected yrith his .narrow-gauge rail road from Ogden City to' Soda Springs; in.: Idaho, 120 miles lona. Its ultimate, .dcatina-. tion.will ho eitherUelenii, *.in '.Montana, or tho Colombia River. It is being prosecuted with 1 all that energy which distinguishes tho organized labor of Utah, —most oi tli6“labor bemgpoid for in stock. Thirty miles of the grading ore already accomplished, and the road will ;be* finished-next'*spring. 'lt'is* bonded for $12,000 per mile; and-the stock will represent $15,000 per mile, or less than two millions of dollars in all. Cars and en dues have been ordered at- Wilmington, Delaware. Each passenger car will cost from §3,500 to SI,OOO, and each, locomotive §O,OOO. Eadh 1, car will be thirty-six feet* in/length; and hold forty-eight people, sitting four abreast, upon thirty three inch seats, bisected down the centre by a six teen-mch aisle. The breadth dFthb car will bo seven feet six inches. Tho road itself will bo narrow! gauger three ftfet- wide, ‘and, if carried on as far ns Helena,»it will be 250 miles in length.*: Tho earnest prosecution of* this road has .already discouraged ,the par tially surveyed Gentile railway from Evans- ton northward into Idaho; and its ’comple tion will probably^dispose of the Gentile' townof Comime, Utah,"which at present l owes almost* its' whole importances to the stage lines which leave it»for the mining camps and towns of Idaho and Montana. The U tan Northern -Railroad, as it is called, leaves Ocdou, passes by two stations to Brigham's City, connects tho Mormon, settlements of' Upper Utah; and' afc Cottonwood bonds around to take the Red River, and crosses the Idaho boundary between Rich mond'and Franklin. It is said to passthrough a canon fully as beautiful as Echo and! Weber, and at Soda Springs it attains what will be-, come the chief watering-place of tho Cen tral Continents Here there are about fifty springs strongly impregnated with-carbonic: acid* bubbling up from tho surface of Bear River, as wellas, from t tumuli and* conos-of carbonate of soda.extending, over the plain. Some of these cones, crcatcd'by centuries of deposit from the mineral waters, have at tained tho height of sixty feet. A loaf tum bling into :tho< stream -which :recoives the spring, becomes .coated or crystallized in stantly: and tho.soda.has, in some places, forth© distance of miles, covered withu sort 1 of natural* bridge,' so that it alter nately, appears and disappears. A commodi ous hotel will go unjat this resort in tho coiirse of tho.winter; The Pennsylvauia Rail road coalition takes the bonds of tho road, and furnishes a part of .the iron. and.apart; of the rolling stock. Brigham's scion. John W. Young is perhaps the most cap a* hie of Brigham’s sons; several of whom aro quite clever. Hc.is .of a stable religions dis position, and has spent considerable time in Europe as a missionary in Sweden, Norway, Denmark find Finland. I asked him. how thcMormoh Church undertook to make con verts in Scfindibavin without a linguist. Ho replied that one Erastus Snow, an-. American by birth, and one of tho.\ earliest* Mormons, had protectee! the conversion of Scandina via, and had! gone to Denmark and .learned the language there, so that he Could preach a little: and disseminate Mormon' publica tions. This -Mr. Show has since accomplish ed tlio successfuTcolonizntion of Southwest ern Utah, iuvtho angle between Arizona and Nevada, estahliahing.tho town of St. George on redeemed acres formerly .'covered with Glauber salts; apd the country around now produces cotton, grapes and the products of the, Mormons send ofit with, their Scandinavian, '-German and* other missionaries, native American Mormons, bom in Utah, who ac quire the language of the nations to he con verted, and are thus serviceable to commu nicate with them in Utah. How miraculous is superstition organized by Yankce hands! I asked John W. Young if Utah was not a tamo country to him,'after rambling over the best sceneries of Europe,—the Alps.t ho giant mountains; &c. “No,” he replied. “Indeed, Ithmkonx Wahsatch! range,:a few miles below Salt Lake City, is as strong as any part of the Alps. There is nothing in Europe to mo like the broad plains, seamed with, canons, and edged afar off with brown mountains.

While the bells wereringlng for church; a construction train on the Connecticut Western came thundering slong, much to the grief of church-goers; and scarcely had divine service commenced, whbn pastor and congregation were astouned by a man rising and requesting permis sion to speak for a moment, when, without wait ing, ho launched out into an ‘harangue, advertis ing A show to'bo given by himself on Monday evening—" tickets fifty cents, children half price, and the money refunded if any one Is dissatis fied.” —The Now York correspondent of the Boston Journal says: For over fourteen years Puitou Street Meeting has been run according to set rules. Like those of the Medea and Persians they were supposed to ho unalterable. A West ern gentleman, who presided last week, gave the mooting a genuine surprise. Ho ran it after the manner of Shokargee, as he called it. He Brought his friends with hiin aud distributed them in dif ferent parts of -the room, and brought'his'choris t ter \riUi him, who took thoainging into Ills 'own hands. The leader preached a sermon of consid erable length, and then called upon his friends by name to speak or pray. The chorister sang several solos, standing up for the performance, and the other tunes were mainly those unknown to' the Pulton Street Assembly. Though there were several Clergymen present, the header dlsi missed the congregation with a Western benedlo don: ‘You arc dismissed.’ The wholeservlce created a profound Impression,’not to say' Indig nation." b Laborers are scarce at, St. Johns, K. t., and women arc employed ou the wharves to load and unload vessels. -Before hanging a man’in Louisiana they let reporters for the newspapers Interview” him for three weeks.

The Committee on Finance reported as follows Gentlemen* |Your Committee on Finance'having considered the recommitment of their report‘on tho 14th of I. ovember, return the same with the following additions: 0 Statement of current account, Kov. 14—un paid orders. 13,474.03 Unpaid bill* audited to date, and'eattmates to December list..; 93.6C117 T0ta1...'.., UGjy Deduct cash In Treasury this November l-l; 1571. Current dobtl. §ui uq o 5 It will be seen by the foregoing statement that roar committee have included the hut quarter of the fiscal year ending November 30,1871. The expenses of this quarter have been much increased by the tire. In tho estimates of jour committee last June, they autlel- Sated a balance in tho County Treasury on the Ist of ccemhcr of $70,000; but tho unlooked-for expendi tures of tlie current quarter have absorbed the antici pated balance and produced a debt on enrrent account of *91,110.25, as above stated. It may bo well to state the fact lliat, under the rule of previous years, tho lust quarter of the flscalyear would not have been audited by the present board, but left for tho incoming Board of County Commissioners. A compliance with former custom would have shown au apparent difference in current account of more than $100,000: and .instead of Tan empty treasury on tho Ist dayof December, 1871, there Would havo been several thousand dollars to pass over to Mr. Hereford's sucees sor. This board having audited the bills of the current quarter to the present time, your committee deemed it a duty which they owed to the board and the public to antlcipato.the probable expenditures of the balance of the fiscal year, and thereby show, as nearly as nossib’e theetateof the connly tfnances on tho Ist ot Decem ber. 1371. As before stated, tho indebtedness on cur rent account is $91,110, but. to include all bills and claims, your committee are disposed to add to that sum and decide upon SIOO,OOO as the utmost limit of current indebtedness.
