Jiy proclamation bo orders elections, and when held ac cording lo their diction, bo sotn tlioin by another proclamation, lias tlio world over beheld such a spectacle 7 Can tho history of tho world, recod ing bade fora thousand years, produce nny tiling like it?

Ana still, prociumuiiuns nru neu in tho half of whul wus oueo the Union. How long will it bo beforo the same thing will bo practiced among us here in tho Norlb? Men clad with des potic authority appoint elections and remove civil ollicers by edicts and nroclumationt. Witness tlio conduct of Sheridan in the stricken city of Chicago a few days ago, when this debaucliod villian, bloated with bis military authority and beastly capaci ty for gin, took possession of a hotel there to reguhtto the price of boarding and to give him free access to the rum which his bloated carcass coveted. Who gave Phil. Sheridan the right to tuko possession of tho property of any man in tlio freo Stnto of Illinois, who violated no lutf, and was socking only to get amid scarcoty and high prices proper renumcration for his moat, broud and bed, from tho idle specta tors who wero flocking to Chicago alter the tiro to gralily a morbid curi osity, to feast on the ruins, and per haps admire the plumes and strut, and bombast and blout of tbo greet Win chester rider f This conduct of a military satrap is only the outcropping of the despotism, which is, step by slop, and clinch by clinch, fastening itself upon tho peo ple, or, will it bo necessary to convinoo you of the designs of our rulers, by culling your attention to tho brutal murder of Mr. lirosvonor, who wns cruelly and brutally shot deud in tho streets of Chicago by a man claiming that ho ooleu unticr tlio military or dors of .General Sheridan and Colonel Sherman, who had exactly the snmo rijlit and no more to shoot that Har der nac to siao 1'ato ana m tinier iiitn in our streets last summer?. This military horde arrogated to thorn selves power which belonged to the Constitution and laws of tho Stuto of Illinois, and tlio man who violated that law and killed .Mr. Grosvonor, is, in the eye of the law and beforo high Heaven, a murderer, and Phil.

What tyrant of aneiunt or modern times ever olferod to wield such u wide and merciless despotism as this which enters into tho plans of tho men at Washington ? They would da io to subject to the horrors of mar tini, or, more properly speaking, bruto force, a turgor extent of territory thai that of all Europo. Can it bo possiiib that tho military commanders who daro consent tuseu vo in snub a sw;ii ing despotism Imvo no knowled'O of history t Aro they ignorant ana thoughtless enough to vupposo thut the manhood is all crusiied out ol a onco bravo people, that they can bo inado to cower long under such an oppression? Would not even tho women una themselves with strych nine, if they find no othor resourco loft them, to protect and presorvo thut which is dearer thun lifo ? Ter rible thoughts ! but is not tho thought of tho merciless grip of tyranny which it is proposed to fusion upon the throats of a whulo peoplo, more terri ble ? A feeble knowledgo of law, of tho principles of government, und his tory, convinces mo that it wore bolter every tyrant and ovory tool of tyrun ny on earth should bo sent mercilessly into otornitv. rather thun that the principles of olornal justieo should bo overthrown and tho liberties of tho nution destroyed. Thcro can bo no coinpromtso with tyranny in tins country. Either it and its aiders, abettors and assistcrs must perish or tho people must bo destroyed. Who ever thinks othcrwiso bus never read history, or ho is constitutionally a ras cal. It won't do to wasto time on such infamous characters. Thcro is ono eternal truth constantly staring us in the face, and it esys wo have no more right to govern IhoSoulli- orn people llinn they havo to govern us in tho same miinner. X heir right lo self government liko ours is anteri or to tall law and compacls. It is a natural, incommunicable, indestrucll blo,un dcternul right. A fight which they hold from tlio Almiglrty Maker and Rulerof tho universo, und which it is their right and duly to maintain even ut tho sacnlleo ot every lite which threatens it. That is the luwand tho t ight of tho mutter. And tho Al mighty grunts us no patents to govern uny body of peoplo but ourselves and whoever chosea lo bo governed by us Lot Mr. General Grant bo taught that among all virtuous and intelligent .nr,f,t thn wnoP. SA i-M nnt. ..'no ways aeain. now truiy tno great prophet Isaiah describes tlio character of 'oiirgovernmont !" How truthfully his wisdom penetrated the unlalnoined fuluro ! Hear what bo suys about Grant and bis lictors: "lhy rulers uro rebellious and tho companions of Ihievcs. J'.vcry ono lovelh qiitt and follawelh after rewards." Wo havo n sti iking illustration of proclamations in tho book ot hsihor. A wicked vii- iun (a Ilcast Roller, or a Kit Klux chairman, Scott,') having imposed Un a foolish king with litlse stories ol tho Jews, ho at onco issued a prodmna- lion, a la Giant, lor thoir extermina tion ; but, soon after, being informed of tlio truth, which it seems ho would only listen to, in imitation of our ruler, when lull ot wine or winsny, no gnvo them leave in another proclama tion (how easy) to kill whom they pleased, and tho result was they slaughtercd sovcnly-fivo thousand men. lct proclamations obtain tno power of laws, and tho business is dono for this country. Now, our duty Is plain. Just now, while we are living in tho gloomy and beastly waning ot an adtninislrati in which substitutes proclamations lor laws and tho wild caprices of intoler ant faction for tho sacred mandutot of toiistltulionul government, our first . i.ti ami grout uuty it to put, an enu iu uu such abominations as proclamations und military orders. The peoplo aro tho great soureo ol strength and pow er. Then let us maKo an onu oi mem ; if not othorwiso, by ending tho tyrants who uttor lliom. Tho iudill'eront drone, content to wear his chains, ralhor than movo his Iaiy body to shako them off, will start and shrink and shudder for fear tho very-thought should make his own shadow nlivo. Tho bond robber and tax tyrtnt. will clutch still tighter the ragged ensigns of. plundor, and scowl mid hiss in im potent rugo. But thoro are somo bold, brave men, who will stand, by the shield of nomocracy. Their nitmbor now is at least a million greater than tho number of those who sook to du stroy our government now wot ten yoart ago. We aro today an actual physical majority of tho whole coun try, and when onco tho peoplo earn oslly say that proclamations and mill tiiry orders shall slop, wo will see no moro of such things in this land. Il tbo same pluck and patriotism was currotit in this country fur tho last six years that was hero in 1770, wo would long ago havo beheld tho termitiatioii of proclamations as substitutes lor Inw. That spirit is rapidly being ro kindled. Let our rulers heed it, ami thereby seek immunity from toe fate of nil tyrant. Your,, T. J.B. StNHini.i.

The Great Geographical Discovery of the Age. Th. Papular Polar Problem Praallc.il lol.ed It Is evident from the highly impor tant circular of Dr. i'cterinunn pub lished yesterday thut tho long per plexed and perilous problem of a way lo tho North Pole has beon practically solved. Tho luslro which tho dis coveries of Payer and Woyprecht huvo just shod upou Gormuny w ill eclipse I lie brilliant military Initio recently won by her urniios on tho battle fields of Franco. It is truo wo huvo but heitrd by telegraph report tho oullino of what these explorers huvo found in tho icy, but not impenetrable, seas which roll tlioir waters bctwoon Spittz hergon and Nova Zembla ; but enough is already known to vorily tho dis coveries of Kuno and to bear out in all tlioir length and bread th of mean ing tlio deductions of American phy sieists, which, for moro thun three years, havo been urged upon tho scientific world, and which so strik ingly pointed tho Arclio explorer to tho very spot where triumph has now been won. If our transatlunlic breth ren cun now rejoico, they must bo willing, as they doubtless aro, lo shursi tho honor of success with ihoso who taught them where to find it, and wo can rejoico with thoso who have reap ed the first fruits of tho harvest which wo huvo sown. When tho Royal Society of London begun its career, the poet Cowley, in bis famous "Annus Mirubilis," sung its famo in anticipation, and predicted in glowing numbers a time when it should loud men to tho very verge of tho globe: When wo upon the glotie's last verge shall go, And view the ocean leaning on the sky ; From thence our rolling nriglilsirs we shall kuow, And uu the luuar world seuurely pry. Rut in this cat.0 it is not the Royal Society ot London thut has led us to the extremity of tlio planet. The presont expedition was not projected nor was it much favored by the Eng lish navigators who havo so long boasted ol t'to niarilimo supremacy of Britannia. While the most influential British seamen havo been trying to persuade the world that there was no liopo tor Polur discovery in the region along which tho American Gull Stream projects itself into tho Arctic llasin, tbo event of a successful exploration bus answered and overthrown their argn menu. While the Herald was preparing the articlo of Thursday, suggesting tho possibility of a commander taking a ship through tho Arcliu ico belt, as Ross and ' Weddell took their ships through tho Atlantic ico holt, tho mail was bringing us tlio tidings that our aillrrCSlioll W lrod.y fait aroam It will bo seen, by refcrenco lo Dr. Petermarn's circular, that tho cnliro success of tho present movement is to bo utlributcd lo this warm current of the Gull Stream, which, in this coun try, lliroo yours ago, Captain Silas Bent first suggested, and another American demonstrated, would furnish tho truo "thermometrio gutowuy to tho Polo." The highest temperature in the frozen seas and the most propitious circum stances for moving towards the Pole have now been proved to exist just whoro the "thernioinclrio" theory said they should exist. Wo know that Levvriier indicated on his celes tial map just where tlio telescope would find tho planet Neptune; but the French astronomer was not more unerring in his work l bun our physi cists have been. lr. Pctermann interprets his intelli gence in this light, and claims also tlio sliaro lo which he is so justly entitled, in basing all his lulo recom mendations for Arctic exploration up on tho hypothesis that the Gull Stream is tho potent agent in breaking up or loosening tho ico cordon which girds tho circumpolur aroa, and he indulges in somo warmth of expression (par. donublo, perhaps, under tlio circum stances i against Captain Kolduwey, who prejudiced the public mind against bis views. Ciiplnin Shcrrard Osborn, of the Royul Navy, a man of fine intellect and great geographical learning, has been always set against even an ex periment in tho regions where Payer and Wevprccht havo found tho exten sion of R anc's open sea, audio Osborn't stubborn prolonged opposition is per haps duo tho fuel that bilherlono lair trial has been made in those quarters. Although the expedition of Captain Hull has not taken this route it is by no means to bo supposed that ho will not be able to aernniplisli tbo end ol his expedition. Fu front it. On tho contrary, indeed, tho physical infer ence to bo drawn clearly is thut Hall will find, perhaps iu lutiludu a little higher, tho vory sumo open wuter,ancl that with his well known "push" and indomitable energy ho will penetrate to the vory sea whose billows and whoso tides wero first witnosscd by the gal lunt Kuno.

Scienco may bo congratulated now as having made another stepping stone into tho heart of tho Polar world, and she will doubtless seizo upon it ut an curly day for pushing forward many! important inquiries and investigations. If Lieutenants Payer and Woy precht havo been ablo to advance so far mid so lato in the season us Sep-1 lember, in a small sailing vessel, thcro is renewed ami redoubled reason for believing, as tho ILrM pointed out somo days ago, that "with un iron steamer armed with a circular ico saw at her prow, an experienced comman der might, as Ross ditl, mako his way entirely through tho barrier of float ing leu islands, and, having reached the Polar sido of it, movo on uninter ruptedly lo the Polo." rjii'tli, Iu tho Antarctic, was tho brilliant experienco of Rous: such was tho repoutod experienco of Vod uoll, so tli.tt Ihey discovered i.it open South Polar Sea, just at Ktno and Payer and Woyprecht havo sinoo dis-. covered an open Norlh Polar Pes. B 15, 1871. Tho evidence of open water at both oxtromitius of tho glubo seems now to bo demonstrated, and with this demon stration will follow tho solution of many serious and vexed questions of meteorology ami hydrography. Tho telegram embodied in Dr. Petermunn's circular gives us tho substruueo ol the news; but wo shall doubtless soon huvo from tho explorers, who, on the Ud of October, wero at Tromsol, on tlioir return, fuller and more detuiled accounts of ull thut they saw und did in those regions so longdrcaded by tho mariner. It is possible thai they arc returning to Germany for now equip ments or a new vessel, to enable thorn in the early spring lo push onward and polewrud, so us lo attain tho full mcasuro ofsuouusii wuicu is oviduiitly now within their grnsp. Tho lateness of tho season when thoy discovered tho Polynia in latitude seventy-nine degroe enht ol -Greenwich may, of coureo, explain why they could not ut onco finish thoir labors. But wo shall patiently wait to hear llicic own ex planation. Tho fact that they dis covered an opon sea, stretched through eighteen degrees of longitude and through at least seventy miles of lutilude, bhowsthnl it was not u moro pool or ico hole which they saw. This favorito mode of explaining away tho importance ol Kane's discovery is now unquestionably exploded. Whether tho open sea they found uctually louds ull tho way to tho North Polo or not, ono thing is certain tho Polynia itsell is un established fact. Is there no Amorican cxploror willing to join next spring in the great research ? X Herald. Friendships. Somo peoplo won dor why il is that they poseej.i no friends. They live in lino houses, dress in costly garments, appear in royal tiirnouts.and scatter thcirmoney with a jirodigal baud, but somehow their neighbors shun them, and people of far less means aro received und pusscd ulong iu society from which they uro excludod. Tho fault rests wholly willi themselves. Ten to one if everything they do is not prompted by sellish motives, which are so uppa rent as to repel ovoryhody but par asites and lcccli04. It is within tho power of ull to make and keep friends if wo bold selfishness oil' ut tirm's lengili and cultivalo kindness of heart and courtesy of manner. "Gentle riess," says Samuel Smiles, ''is like the silent influence of light which gives color to ull nature; il is far more fruitful.

Instead of eulli valing strong minded notions and con tending for a right lo divide their time between the ballot box and the cradle, women will find il an advant age to school tlioir nervous system and ussuro themselves uguirst panics even upan great occasions. The latest blow at woman rights comes from tlio Insurance companies, who have concluded not to insure females against accidents on railroads and steamboats. Tho excuse of tho companies is, that when an alarm of firo is raised on a railroad or steamboat, tho ladies are usually thrown into such a blato of terror that accidents aro almost sure to follow : and lhat tho losses in the past, under this head, has been very much greater than tho gains. Risks against killing outright they still nc cept, while declining to insure against patliul injury, Iho seemingly arbitrary action of tho companies is regarded with considerable disfavor by hus bands who have, hertoforo taken out policies lor their wives, so that, in the event ol injury thoy might bo enabled to pay nurses' and doctors' bes, with out having to draw on their bankers. A Narrow Escape. An cvidenco of tho careless manner in w hich some physicians perform their very impor tant functions was given not long sinoo during tho ceremony of burying a living prison ut Racine, Wisconsin. On tlio previous day, u young gill created quito a sensation in a Scandi navian church by falling to tho floor, in what appeared lo to a fainting lit. Sho was removed to the resilience of bor puronts, and u "doctor" called in, who speodily pronounced her dead. Preparations wero made for tho fune ral ; a largo concourse of peoplo bad gathered about the houso, and the clergyman bud begun to read tho ser vice lor tho dead, when a slight move ment of tho body wns noticed, nnd afterward a faint boating of tho nnlso. Restoratives wero applied, and the young woman soon opened her eyes and spoke to her friond. Sho is now able to Bltend lo her household duties as usual. Rahicai. Success.

Wo havo still to receive full accounts ol tho tragedy, but wo know already lhat five hundred unfurlunato people havo perished. Tim vitiligo is some seven miles from tho Inn bor, und on a Sunday evening tho baino wind pro bably that worked tho ruin of Chicago, blowing with tho forco of u hurricane, funned tho smouldering fire in tlio locusts acound into a blazu and drove tho firo inlo tho village.

There was no possibility nf clacking tho flames nnd tho surrounding forest, presented ono mass of firo. Tho peo plo could only fly to tho river for safety. Those living in close proxim ity to tho water reached it and waded in till it reached their necks. Hero they remained Irom two to four hours und by wetting their heads Wero able to cseiipo with life. But many were hndly Tjiiriied about the head and face while in I li o witter. .Many were drowned. Others, women und children died from tho exposure. Thoso who lived only one or two streets from the river wero stricken down by tho flatncrt, and burned to death before reaching tho water, whole families wero destroyed. In tho morning the streets wero strewn with but tied bodies. Eight or nino bodies in one corner wero found near together. Ono fami ly, consisting of father, mother and six children, wero luu ml deud togeth er within three feet of the water. It is impossible to give a correct estimate of the loss of life. Il is supposed that tho inmates of tho Peshligo Compa ny's boarding house, ono hundred and upwards iu number nearly all perish, ed. Every report from tlio neighbor hood settlements bring information of houses burned und many lives lost Tho immenso pail factory and largo sawmill, nnd tho store', bridges, loco motives and curs were burned und evcry-kind of properly destroyed. As soon as thu tiro lia-1 sullicicntly subsided, all lhat wero able went to tho relief ol tho sulfjrers. Blackened, charred corpses were lying in every direction, wilh their clothing as a general thing, nearly or quite burned oir. Many dead bodies wero foutd tn tlio river, und many more havo since been recovered. A number have died from their bruises, while others are crippled or fearfully disfigured. Iho most imaginative mind cannot begin to realize this fearful calamity much less my poor pen to describe it.
