A correspondent of the Herald, interviewing

Keporter—Do you believe, sir, that Cniar

Mr. Stone—If not Caiariam in tbe literal
meaning of the word, something very like it.

these millions looked on with indifference and

making no effort to shake off the yoke. I then
thought, “ Ah, bnt our liberties oonld not be
taken awsy in this manner. We ahonld rise
against any attempt to eneroach upon oar
rights;” Bnt when I saw the high handed
acta of the government during the late war,
withont any protest from the mass of tbe peo
ple ; when I saw citizens pat into Fort La
fayette withont warrantor the slightest evidence
of guilt, bnt merely in obedienoe to the tonch
of Mr. Seward's little bell, I thought our liber
tics were not so secure after alL In illustration
fit Ibia I will tell you an incident of tbe late
war, whioh has never been published. A gentle
man in Brooklyn, a stonnoh ltepnblican and
member of tbe Wideawake Olnb, bad a yonng
daughter,'who left tbe Faok&rd Institnte at the
outbreak of the war. She carried on the usual
girlish correspondence with a former school
mat*, a young lady in the South, who wsh
crammed with secesb notions, as moat South
ern ladies were in those times. Correspond
ones from tbe South was then seized by the
Government. Among tbe letters opened was
one addressed by tbo secesh girl to her friend
in Brooklyn, fall of childish gash about the Em
; r. .1.11 l»arie was going to set up, the fine
time they would have, and bow she would be
happy to reoeive her friend's visit in Hecesaia
One fine day. *( my friend of the Wideawake
Glob was sluing at dinner In bis shirt sleeves, a
carriage drove np before hia honse, two men
rang tbo door bell and asked to see the heed of
tbe family. In bis shirt sleeves and hatless the
gentleman in qnestion came to tbe door, when
tbe two men seized him, and, threatening to pnt
daylight through him if he resisted, pnt him in
tbe carriage. It was in vain thathe begged them
to allow him to get bis bat and ooat and make
mm-.n <-x;i!-,nations to his family. The ruffians
refused, and oonveyod him to Fort Lafayette,
i or I, whole we* k after his family oonld not ao-
oonnt for bis sadden sod'mysterioas disappear-
until a few lines from him, written on a
slip of paper, wsa bronght to biB family by a
discharged prisoner from Fort Lafayette, who
managed to oonceal it in tbe sole of bis boot,
when tba mystery was clearad np. Prominent
Republicans interested themselves in his ease
and proenrod bis releaso, which it wsa not diffi
cult to obtain, for he was known as a Republi
can ; bnt had be bean a Democrat ha wonld have
remained six or twelve months longer In prison,
and all for a school girl's latter. A few men
talked of gelling np an Indignation meellng
about it, bnt what good wonld it have done ? If
A. T. Stewart or John J. Giaoo or any promi
nent merchant bad been carried to Fort Lafa
yette, there wonld have been little stir about it.
It to thus tbe liberties of a nation are taken
away, when tho people become indifferent and
quietly snbmit to despotism. Tbe Amenoan
people are now aceostomed to tba grasp of an
army of office holders and acqniesce in it.
The Mew Chicago.
A correspondent of tbe New Orleans Herald,
writing from Obioago, makes the following sug
gestive observations regarding the magnificence
of tbo buildings erected in that olty ainoe the
fire, and the probable resnlts of tbe ootlay of
borrowed money:
'Not among all these thousands of buildings
has my eye rested upon one where tho archi
leoture and design were not pnrely and taste
fully elegant; and others are following In oonnt-
1. .. number, each apparently endeavoring lo
exes! and eclipse what has already been com
pleted. Seme great king of these architects
ebonld bang ont tbe sign, ‘Cities built to order
here, elegantly, and with dispatob. ’ Sneh an
extravagant Investment in real estate the world
hns never seen, and that an outlay of money so
wonderful end extraordinary shoo’d produce
some fntnro resnlts as extraordinary in tbeir
ebaraoter, I folly believe. * Tbe most of these
enormont and expensive buildings have nn-
donbtodly boon erected on London, New York,
and Boston capital at 10 per oent. interest.
The bmldsr, than, must obtain from Iba ton-
ant 30 per oent. to cover interest on loan, tax
es, insurance and enrrent expense*, and make a
very moderate profit. Tbe question is, where
nro tenants to be fonod to oocnpy forty sores
of tbeao'grand and costly bniidings, and whoso
business is finch that they oan afford to pay 30
per oonL of valuation in rental ? The thous
ands of signs “for rent” 6how now bow rare
ly aro snob tenants obtained. Time will pass
on; tbe looomes required to pay accrued inter
ests in London, New York and Boston will not
be forthcoming. Tbe borrower will fall and
eolL The lender will bny at less than tbe cost
of material In tbe bnilding. Then bo can rent
at ten per oent. and bis investment will become
permanently profitable. Like most of the rail
roads that rain the original oonstractors and
srojectors, and in sooood bands beoome good
nvesimcnts, in my opinion will be tbe fntnre
history of those great wonders of arebiteotore
in Obioago. No donbt there are many special
cases to which this opinion is not applicable 1
oases in which the bniidings do not represent
either borrowed or foreign capital. Bot such
are exceptional, and so far as I can learn, are
rare.”
Uo III Ye Cripples.
Tbe qnarrel of tho Radical factions in Massa
chusotta waxes warm. Ben Boiler's recent let
ter in defense of the salary grab has evoked a
response from Congressman Geo. F. Boar.
The latter oonatders tbe proceeding perfectly
legal, bnt says It makes a radical change In
American policy, taking legislators ont of the
class whose reward is chiefly tho honor of ren
dering important pnblio service, and placing
them on the level of mere hirelings, and adds:
“ Woo to tbe oonntry when places in OoDgress
ahall beoome objeots of desire on account of the
money that is earned in them.” The indignant
Hoar proceed*:
‘Gen. Bntler is notoriously nnfortnnate in
his allusion to Scripture. Mankind execrate
Jtifiae because he betrayed the confluence of bis
master. They execrate the Chief Trieste be
cause they tempted bio to do evil by a bribe.
The representative who betrays tbe confidence
of tbe people, so far resembles J ndas. Tbe re.
iresentativa who tempts the cupidity of bit fel-
ows, so far resembles the Chief Priests. • • •
Gen. Bailer's real grief arises from the opposi
tion be ia encountering In his plan to get pos
session of the government of Massachusetts by a
f rand on Republican voters. Hisrage atthepress,
clergy, and tbe prominent men of the oonntry
Is net strange. It is tbe common outcry of
great maiefictors that mankind are in league
against them. He halt done, unless be has
egrogiously imposed upon u», two things well.
He ont blackguarded a New York mob in 1854,
and with a United States army at bis back, be
kept down a rebel city in 1863. Massachusetts
is cot likely soon to stand In need of either of
these processes: bnt benever has accomplished
anything else of mnoh importance, when bis
point oonld not be carried by sheer blustering.
Tbe history of all bla other attempt* may be
comprised In three words—'swagger,' ‘quarrel,’
‘failure.’"

the part of the people on the snhjec: of back
pay, bnt the equalization of tbe pay cf mem
bers of both bouses by making the pay
greater and striking off tbe farce of mileage,
