Democratic Loss on the State

000 to 8.000, and the State 15.000 and
Upwards.
Both blanches of the Legislature are
Bepublicau. Ohio and Iowa each de-
spruclieg My roll up a Republican ma
jority of 30.000
Tbe returns from the judicial district
indicate a cWe vote, mainly, however,
in favor nf Juukia
Hertzier comes so nearly an election
that it will require the official vote to de-
terraiue ho is the Legif lator.
' Laird is the new County Treasurer.
The vote on the Democratic State

date for Govornor.
'
Thk elivtion in this State, last Tiip
day resulted as have all the Slate and
national elections withiu the past ten
years in viclory for the Republican
cause. The Republican majority on the
8tat ticket is believed to be fifieeu thon
?and ti'l upwards, and thi; State Sen
ate, that laxt winter was Democratic, ha
bet-ii cLaiigcd to a Kepublicau Senate,
jind tlie Republican force iu the Lower
Houe is also fjrengtbened. Thus once
more the Executive aud the two houoes l
aic iu accord, politically speaking. This
ettnpaign has certainly been an auspi
cious one fir the Republican party, for
while we are glad and do rejoice over our
success in I'eiitiKylvaiiia, the cheering
e conies from Ohio and Iowa that
they, too, with large majorities, have
wheeled into line, and are on tbe march
to a greater victory in 1872.
The Chieag Fire.
The exciting event of the year was
tbe fire, without parallel iu this country,
that broke out in Chicago on last Satur
day night, aud bur ied until Wednesday
tusruing the lOlli. Miles of buildings
have been laid in ashes. The fearful
thoroughness of tbe destruction of pro
perty may be learned from the despatch
es that state ''that all of the banks but
two have been swept away, all of the
opw'paper offices, most of tbe churches '
and depots, every hotel in tbe South Di- j
vision, six gram elevators, all of the,
theatres, the post office, court bouse. 1
cba-nber of commerce, all wholesale and
a majority of retail stores." Some days
mum elapes before an estimate of the '
loeses to the city and their f r-reaching I
consequences can be even guessed at.
t ontnbiittons from cities and towns, nf
thousands npon thoneands of dollars, are ;
b-ing sent to the suff. rers. '
Nov Y. Jorpa. Secretary nf the;
State, in aeoinmunicatinn a to the changes
needed in the Constitution of
Peon-
ylvania. suggests the following :
1. An increase of the number of Sena-
tors aud Representatives in the Genet al
, . ,
Assembly.
.... .. , . . . .
2. Biennial sessions of the Legislature.
. . .
3- The election by the people of sun

4. Minority representation.

5. Modification of the pardoning
, n. , . ., , ,
o A change in tbe teuure and mide
of ehooeing the judiciary.
7. A change in the date of our annual
fall election to the time of tbe Presiden
tial election, to prevent what is called
colonization from surrounding States, and
to dispense with one election- every
fourth year.
S. . For her restriction upon the powers i
of corporations. j
Major HODGE bas been sentenced te
- ten years' imprisonment in the Albany
Penitentiary, for his embezzlement of
445,000. ,
In Great Britain last year one man out
of five, and one women out of four, who
were married could write tbeir names.
Jn some parts of Wales not one-half tbe
women could sign tbeir names
, It ia estimated that America, when ber
productive power is fully developed,
will he able to feed four times as many
persons as there are now npon the face

PROGRESS OF THE FIRE.
' ; Chicago, Oct. 7.The most terrible
eontUgraikMi that baav ever occurred iu
tide tity broke nut about 11 o'clock, to
night, and, having already swept over
six entire blocks. I slill raging with al
most unabated fury. 1 he tire started in
a large plauiug mill, situated between
Cliulou aud Canal streets, aud Vau Bureu
and Jackson streets. Tbe wiud was
blowing very Irerh, and the flames sprvad
with almost inconceivable rapidity, and in
a few minatea tbe entire structure was a
mass ot fire.
The immediate vicinity is built up
mainly with small wooden tenement
bouse.' and two-story frame build ngs,
occupied as groceries, saloous, &c. The
inmates of many of these houses, star
tled from their slumbers, had barely time
to rush out in tbeir scauty night attire,
leaving tbeir household goods to destruc
tion.
When the alarm sounded for this fire,
another of considerable magnitude was
burning on Wells street, near Adams,
aud several engines were necesearily kept
at work upon that fire. The rest of the
engines iu the city were soon on the
ground, but before they arrived the fire
bad spread over so large an area and was
so rapidly spreading, that all efforts
seemed of little avail.
Between Canal street and the river
were several lumber yards, which are
entirely destroyed At this hur the fire
has made a clean fweep from Van Buren
street north two blocks to Adams, and
went to Clinton Three blocks from the
river, between Van Buren and Jackson,
are burning
LaTKK 1:30 A. M The fire is ap
parently raring as fiercely as ever. A
block of buildings on the north side of
Van Bureu street, which was thought an
hour ago could be saved, is now wrapt in
flames.

Chicago. Oct. 8. Shortly after the
last despatch this morning, detailing the
progrecs of tlie hre in the Western Divi

space burned over embraces four blocks,
bounded north by Adam street, west by
Clinton street south by Van Buren street
aud east by the Chicago river.
ANOTHER GREAT FIRE RAGI.VG.
Chicago, Oct 811 P. M. A fire is
now raging in tha West Division, which
appears to be as large as that of tat
night. The alarm was given at 9:45 P.
M.
FOUR BLOCKS OF BUILDINGS BURNING.
Chicago. Oct. 9-12:30 A. M.-The fire
in the V est Division is now raging with
nnbated fury It commenced near Tay
lor street, between Delevan aud Jeffer
son streets, and is stretching in every di
rection and uow covers four blocks. It
is now bevond control. The loss is al
ready large, and it is now feared it will
prove more disastrous than the fire of
last night. '

tire busiuess portion of tbe city is de
stroyed. All the banks, express and
telegraph offices. Not less than ten
thousand buildings have already been de
stroyed. The fire has burud a distance
of five miles, aud is slill raging, aud the
wind is blowing a gale. It will be al
most impossible to get any reliable par
ticulars for some time, as there is
only one telegraph wire working, and
that from the suburbs The water works,
the court house, the Sherman Housr,
Board of Trade, custom house, all the
railroad depots and the Western Union
Telegraph building, a uew edifice just
completed, are all in ashes. Fully thirty

hour almost every building from Harri
son street north to the Chicago river is
destroyed, including all tbe insurances

exception of the Tr bune Office, which is
fireproof) count house. Sherman House.

In Chicago more than one-half the
population are now rushing through tbe
streets in vehicles, which are obtained at
enormous prices, and on foot wnu their
choicest household treasures in their
arms and on their backs, in utter confu

beads, or get anything to satisfy the
cravings of hunger. All thi heavy busi

Thirty or forty vessels in the river
are now burning, and many more are de
atrnyed. Tbe finest blocks of dwellings

. Chicago, ('ct 6. Fires in the woods

only be arrested by heavy rains. The
country is as dr as tinder.
MINNESOTA,
Ravages of the Prairie Fire.
St. Paul, Oct 6 The great prairie
fire is still raging with unbated fury, al
though the slight raiu of yesterday ar
rested its progress a little for a time. Its
course is southeast, and np to the last
accounts had reached nearly as far
south as Iowa border, and eastward as
far as the Mississippi river, which it is
hoped will stay its further progress
The high wind of yesterday drove
the fire forward with lightning rapidity,
and it w;.s burning fiercely in thb hip
woods around Glennoc, Lezur, Mankato
and New Ulm,
Reports of tbe ravages of the fire
fiend are coming iu constantly, though
they are evidently exaggerated. Tht
losses, so far as positively known, are
confined to bouses, barns, fences, hay,
wheat and livestock. Only two lives
are known to have been lost that of a
Swede named Conneaiit, of Kandiyohi
county, and a man, name unknown, whe
started from the same county with a
drove of cattle for Fort Garry, and was
overtaken by the fire. There are no
means of ascertaining the amount ot
damage done, owing to the large track
of country over which the fire bas swep
and its inaccessible nature, but it musi
be very heavy.
Many small farms are completely de
stroyed. and solitary farm houses in th
track of tbe fire were almost iuvariabl
burned to the ground. The amount o'
suffering must necsarily be great, as
tnauy of the fanners have lost every
thing homestead, livestock and crops,
with a long winter close upon them.

bachelor of New Jersey recently died,
