In answer to the dispatch of Mavor Flan­ders, authorizing the mayor of Chicago to draw for $10,000, the following telegram was received yesterday:

Chicago, October 13,1371.Honorable Benj. F. Flanders, Mayor:

GimI bless you. We shall need it all. Go on and hold subject to my order.

R. B. MASON, Mayor.S. H. Kennedy A Co., yesterday, made a

return of $795, the amount collected by them for the Chicago relief fund. A gentleman representing A. W. Merriman. handed in $100, and un to three o'clock the collections exceeded $3,500.

Department of Improvements.The work of paving and shelling the

streets being nearly completed. Administra­tor Cockrem contemplates reducing the number of laborers employed in bis depart­ment. This is done with a view to a redac­tion of the monthly outlays required in this department, which hare been largely in­creased by- the necessity o f paying off old liabilities, incurred by former administra­tions.

The City Council.At a special meeting of the City Council

yesterday, tke Mayor presented his veto of a proposition to pay certain bills for sup­plies furnished to the Department of Police.

The Mayor thought the charges too high. Mr. Lewis said the reason why the bills were so high, was the depreciation of the eity’s credit. In the item of shells for the Department of Improvements, they could be had for cash at from twenty-live to thirty-tive cents per barrel. For the same article the city has to pay from sixty to seventy-live cents per barrel in her paper promises. After a lively debate, Adminis­trator Cockrem moved that the matter be referred to the committee of the whole, tor action at the next regular meeting, and the motion was carried.

AMUSEMENT*.

St. Charles Theatre.The famous Lingard company will make

their first appearance at Sew Orleans this season in Boucicault’s popular drama of “Eifie, or the Cherry Tree Inn.” when they will inaugurate theatrical entertainments at the St. Charles Theatre. The play is one of deep interest, and the Lingard company present it to the amlience in such an at­tractive _ manner as to excite t’ue warmest admiration. Mr. Lingard takes the role of Sadlorc, and Miss Alice Darning Lingard that of Elfe. The entire distribution ot characters is exceedingly appropriate. The box office opens this morning, and P. G. will be there.

A c a d e m y o f M u s ic .This evening the Hart. Kyman & Barney

Minstrels will produce some of their most cheerful, amusing and entertaining music, songs, ballads and duets. The champion jig ilancer, Master Barney, will be ou the stage, and show his good points. Two or three new sensations will be introduced, and their entire programme will be the best they have yet presented.

National Theatre.The audience last night at the entertain­

ment for the benefit ot the Chicago suffer­ers. filled the National Theatre to its ut­most capacity. The Orleans Dramatic Re­lief Association seemed to be inspired by the idea that they must on this occasion ex­cel themselves in the presentation of the “Ticket-of-Leave Man.” and the piece was finely represented. The receipts were large and the benefit substantial.

The Academy—Chicago Benefit.Mr. Bidwell, the manager of the Academv

and the minstrel company ot Hart, Ryman fft Barney, now performing there, feeling a proper sympathy for the distressed people of Chicago, will devote the proceeds of to­morrow evening to aid in relieving their sufferings. A sparkling programme and something new. rich, and racy, should tempt the multitudes to fill the house from pit to dome, and the desire to aid the distressed will contribute to that end.

Through the popular house of A. Eyrich, No. 130 Canal street, we have received from the publishers the following works:At Last: A Christmas in the West In­

dies. By Charles Kingsley, with illus­trations. New York: Harper Sc Brothers. The Republican has already published

one or two pleasant and instructive extracts from this work and recommend it as worthy a prominent place in the library of all who care to possess a thorough knowledge of contemporary peoples and institutions. Typographically, it is unexceptionable, and the numerous illustrations which adorn its pages are lair specimens of art, although more interesting from the subjects depicted.Shakespeare’s Comedy of the Tempest.

Edited, with notes, by William J. Rolfe, A. M.. with engravings. New York: Harper & Brothers.This is a companion volume to “The Mer'

chant of Venice,” from the same pen, which met no little favor. Its contents comprise an introduction, chapters on the history of the play, tLe sources of the plot; critical comments on the play, the play itself, and the author's notes. We have no doubt numerous Shakespearian readers will comment on this work as antagonistic to their pet conceptions of disputed points in “The Tempest,” but we take pleasure in pronouncing it a scholarly production, and one which will afford great pleasure to all who follow the author's researches and analytical reasonings.Sef.d Time and Harvest: or, During my

Apprenticeship. Translated from the “Ut Mine Stomtiil" of Fritz Reuter. Phila­delphia: J. B. Lippincott (k Co. Price $1 00.A superficial glance through the pages of

“Seed Time” promise us much pleasure in a careful perusal. Its scene seems to develop new phases of German home life, and the incidents seem lively and spirited as the characters are original and life-like. We are willing to insure purchasers of this book full compensation.Anne F urness. A Novel. By the author

of "Mabel's Progress,” “The Sacristan's Household.” “Veronica,” etc. New York: Harper Sc Brothers-As chilly weather and glowing fires have

taken the place of old Sol's fervid rays, we can safely recommend this pleasant volume to those who have leisure for the perusal of nearly two hundred closely printed pages. Try it.Agatha's H usband. A Novel. By the

author of “John Halifax, Gentleman." “Woman's Kingdom." etc. New York: Harper & Brothers.This is one of the uniform edition of Miss

Muloch’s works which Harper's great pub­lishing house is now giving to the public. The paper is good, type clear and large, and as for tLe merits of its contents, they have long since passed successfully the ordeal of criticism.Dene Hollow. By Mr.-. Henry Wood,

author of “.East Lynne.'' "Shadow of Ashlvdyat.” “The Channings," etc.This work is just published by T. B.

Peterson it Brothers. Philadelphia, from the author's manuscript and advanced proof sheets, purchased by them from Mrs. Henry Wood, and is issued in America simultaneously with its publication in Lon­don, and in uniform style with "Bessy Rune,” "Roland Yorke,” "The Channings,” and all the previous works by this popular author. "Dene Hollojv," while containing the characteristic features of its author's style, may be considered equal if not supe­rior to anything previously written by Mrs. Wood. This lady has a marvelous faculty of charming her readers with the skill with which she puts her characters on the stage, of multiplying her plots, ot sustain­ing her dialogues, aud of intensifying all her minor incidents; aud as the work itself presents all these char aeteristies of the author which have estab­lished her reputation among the first writers, there is but little doubt of its suc­cess with our novel loving community. The story is one of absorbing interest—in­terest that would be unpardonable to an­ticipate its detail, aud thereby spoil the in­terest of the reader. “Dene Hollow" wiil not be laid aside without eager perusal to the end; for the reader will be constantly led aside into new avenues and lanes, with such enchanting views and scenery, that he never wearies of the path: there are so many new faces among the minor actors, and euch a magic influence thrown around all they say and do, that his interest never flags for a moment. The book is handsome, ly published, in clear, large print, on fine paper. It is complete in one large octavo volume, bound in cloth, for $1 75, or in paper cover for $1 f 0. and will be found for sale bv all booksellers, or copies will be sent per mail, post paid, to any one, on re­ceipt of price.

Texas Election.The Austin, Texas, Journal of the ninth

instant says:The prospects are that General Clark.

Republican candidate from the third dis­trict, is elected by a small majority: that Herndon, secession Democrat, is chosen from the first; and Hancock and Conner, new departurists, are elected in the other districts. The genuine Democracy are any­thing but elate over the success of Han­cock, whose record they knew and execra­ted, and whom they profoundly distrust, The success of the new departure is the ruin of old-fashioned, sincere Democracy. Tne new departure accepts the Republican settlement of the war, and, if sincere, is Republican in all but name.

The Houston Union of the same date says of the result:

Sufficient returns Rave not been received from any of the districts except the third which will warrant ns in coming to a con­clusion as to the* result. Degener, Repub­lican, seems to be ahead so far as heard from in the fourth. Much depends upon the vote of the frontier counties. It is be­lieved Degener will carry the Rio Grande by a handsome majority.'What news we have from the first|(WTiit-

more's) district is favorable, and indicates the success of the Republicans.

Clark is undoubtedly elected in this dis­trict by a majority ranging from loop to 20iM.

The fight has been a Lot one. and every inch of ground has been closely contested in every portion of the State. The Repub­licans have made a gallant fight against tremendous odds, and let the result be what it may. we have reason to be proud of the gallant men who are straggling to hold aloft in Texas the banner of freedom and equal rights.

We copy these paragraphs from the same paner:

The returns from the first district are now coming in: everything looks favorable for the triumphant election of Whitmore. It would have been a great piece of foil v for the people of Northeastern Texas to have sent a Democrat to represent them. Their great railroad interests demand that they be represented by a man who will see that such interests are cared for. and that such legislation as is needed to protect their dis­trict in every way be carried out.

We Lope our Democratic neighbors are now relieved. They Lave expended their strength and wasted their time, and cast their pearls before swine, and exhausted quite a number oi cubic feet of wind, and tried their soles, and rode down lots of horse flesh to scare up voters, and after all didn't gain the victory; and. oh Lord, for four days got not one solitary drop of whisky. The last was the most distressing fact con­nected with the whole affair.

Harris county polled 426 white Repub­lican votes. How do the rebel Democrats like that ! Does it not look as though the old pro-slavery tyranny had lost its grip on the minds and consciences of men? The ice is broken at last in Houston, and we look, at the next election, to see 1000 white men, the bone and sinew of Harris county, walk up to the polls and vote for the party of equal rights.

Put it in your pipe and smoke it, gen­tlemen. General Chark is elected to go to Congress, aud Mr. Giddings is elected to go home.

The Union of last Thursday contained these additional paragraphs:

The Republican party is stronger in Texas to-day than it ever was before. This election has'streugthened it mightily. Its influence in the way of showing that the national power, and not that of the local Ku-Klux associations, is paramount, will be exceedingly beneficial to the character and prosperity ot the State.

The folly of a few Texas Democrats in trying to convince themselves that there is no such thiDg as national authority in this State, is amazing. That authority'is here, and one of its prerogatives is the protection of every man recognized as a citizen by the national constitution in the full exercise of liis rights and privileges.

Every Democrat known to be implicated, directly or indirectly, in the arrest of any registrar daring the' election: everv one in­strumental in the closing ot the polls: every armed ruffian known to have menaced the quietude of the polls or the freedom of a voter, will be brought to condign punish­ment. The Republican party have control of this State and nation, ana they will have order, security and freedom for the citizen.

Piling up figures concerning the result of an election is a very easy business. We could have asserted that* Clark had two thousand majority in Harris county, if we had chosen to do it. But we did not choose to put down any votes which we knew would have to be taken back. We did, however, declare that Clark was elected, and of that we are still as certain as we are that an election was held.

Bruised and Cared vs. Mace and Coburn, by Hart and Ryman, at the Academy to­night. ______ * _______

The Richland Brace,n pays its respects to a manifold letter writer:

The New Orleans Republican ventilates one James Dugan, who proposes to furnish all country papers that will publish them with gratuitous letters. The light ot the Republican was not needed to reveal the real object of his letters. His so-called

special correspondence" to the Beacon was so transparent that a school boy could hare seen through it, and his fulsome compli­ments to his masters were so nauseating that our mental stomach revolted at the idea ot receiving any larger dose than the caption and one paragraph.

But few editors would have the hardi­hood to attempt to gorge their readers with such stuff. But Dugan accomplished his aim—got a “fat take” in the Customhouse, and, we presume, is jubilant over his suc­cess: and whether his letters were ever pub­lished or not is all the same to him.

Mr. Angelo Wiser, the artist employed to do the fresco painting of the St. Charles theatre, has completed his work. He is an excellent artist, and has added much to the adornment ot the theatre. Everything is now in readiness for the opening to­night, with the far-famed Lingard as a power of attraction. Mr. DeBar will be on hand, and hie right bower, P. G., will be in tiwoffice to weleome a fall honae.

The Ilolly Waterworks System.Pamphlets containing a history of the

origin and progress of the Holly water­works system, in the form of a prospectus of the Carrollton Holly Waterworks Com pauy, are distributed about the city. In reading one of them out of curiosity, we found that it is a new system of water­works, invented by Birdsell Holly, of Lock- port, New York.

The peculiarity of the Holly system of waterworks is that the supply of water is direct from the inlet pipes without the use of a reservoir. The delivery of water takes place through properly constructed mains and services provided with fire hydrants, placed at convenient intervals anil at proper points. By means of a suitable arrange­ment of safety-valves, pressure gauges and registers, perfect uniformity of flow and complete control of the water is obtained

These works dispense with the reservoir system entirely, aud the result is purer and more wholesome water. Very likely, if Chicago had the Holly waterworks, which reach out by their underground pipes throughout the entire city, where there are always several hydrants on hand, ready upon the turning of a wrench and the at­taching of a section* hose for instant and successful action, that city would not now be in ashes.

The water supply of these hydrants, with the pumps driving the water into the mains in a volume sufficient to give sixty pounds pressure per square inch in every part of the city, is so immense and powerful that a fire has no chance in a contest.

The rain, which commenced at midnight, continues, and has extinguished the re­maining fires, saving many thousand tons of coal, and quelling apprehensions of far­ther fires.

The gold in t,he customhouse was melted, and the greenbacks destroved.

The dieKre-Rankin Comedy Company.This popular company, now playing at

Louisville, will follow the minstrels at the Academy of Music. The Louisville Ledyer says:

“Rosedale. or the Rifle Bali.” by the pop ular Rankin Company, was played last night betore a large audience. The com­pany has at once attained the highest place in the respect and admiration of our citi­zens, not only on account of their superior histrionic talent, but by their noble, social and moral virtues.

The drama last night was not exclusively comic, but had enough of the tragic to form a splendid background for the comedy of the piece. The triumphs of vice over vir­tue. of right over wrong, was as marked and as highly appreciated as though noth­ing of 3 lighter character had been inter­spersed.

DeGroat and Miss May Preston, the standing favorites of Louisville, added their talent to that of the excellent com­pany. and to say that they sustained their former character is enough for Louisville theatre-goers. Mr. McKee Rankin as El­liot Grey was loudly applauded. His bear­ing. his fine appearance, and entirely nat­ural acting would make him a favorite anv- where. Miles McKenna, Colonel Cavendish May. Tabitha Stork, Rose, all, in fact, could not have been excelled.

Stocks during the past week have been very excited. At this time last week the market was very dull and steady, bnt on Monday morning news was received of the great fire at Chicago, and immediately the stock market became excited, and in some cases declined as much as fifteen per cent, but averaging through the entire list about fourteen per cent. Comparing the first call prices of to-day and those ot last Saturday, they show a shrinking of over $28,000,000 on capital. The stock market this morning opened firm and steady.

There was a slight advance in prices by the second call, but no great activity was displayed. During the afternoon there was quire a tiurrv in stocks, and they were sold up from one to three per cent, but the ad­vance was not sustained, and the market closed pretty active, with prices lower than the highest to-day, but better than on tie second call.

The bank statement is unfavorable, and represents the money stringency during the week. An analysis of statements shows the banks have made a net loss ot $2,920,825 in in their legal reserve, and are now $1,259,- 425 below the twenty-five per cent required by law. This is the first time since the establishment of the national banking sys­tem that the New York city banks have been in this condition. It is not likely the controller of the currency will take any action in the matter, and 'the government will probably let it go by default in view of the extenuating circumstances.

Thirty thousand German troops are to re­main in France pending liquidation of indemnity, but it is agreed that it the terms of the convention are faithfully carried out this number will be materially reduced at the end of six months from the signing of the treaty.

London, Canada, October 14.—Three at­tempts have recently been made to fire the southeastern part of this city. Special police are watching for incendiaries.

Munich, October 14.—There was an im­portant debate to-day in the lower house of the Bavarian Reichsrath on the subject of Papal infallibility.

The minister of worship and public in­structions replying to interpellations by a number of deputies, heretofore reported in these dispatches, said that the State had at all times the tight to make changes in the laws relating to the chnrch.

The church having declared a change of principles, and infallibility being a doctrine dangerous to the State, the government bad resolved co protect any and all of its citi­zens who can not accept the infallibility of the Pope as an article of faith.

The government would still consider such persons as Catholic, and it would op­pose any encroachment by the chnrch upon the principles of the civil constitution. Moreover, the minister declared the senti­ment of the king, and council of State favored the separation ot the religious and political branches of the government, and the complete independence ot each.

Paris. October 14.—Advices from Algeria state that the natives in the northern part of ot the province of Constantine have risen against the French, and were in open hos­tility. Troops had been dispatched to the localities of the troubles, but tbeir number was not sufficient to quell the insurrection. It is probable the new outbreak will de­mand the dispatching of additional troops from France to the colony's relief.

The Bicn Public, ministerial organ, an­nounces that Bismarck and Poayer Quer- tier yesterday signed the long pending customs treaty between France and Ger­many. The financial portion of the conven­tion is definitively concluded by the sig­natures of the two ministers. That part which relates to the regulations of customs duties must l*e submitted to the German Reichsrath for ratification. With the con­clusion of the treaty of peace, Bismarck agrees to release tLe bankers who were guarantees of the payment of indemnity, and accepts as sufficient the official guar­antee of President Thiers and Pouyer Quertier.

The financial portion of the treaty pro­vides that the balance of the indemnity monev remaining due by France shall be paid in specie bills, to the amount af eighty millions of francs every fortnight, until the entire balance is liquidated. Such payment to commence on tLe fifteenth of January next. It is farther stipulated that six of the departments el France, new occupied

Galveston, October 14.—The Governor’s proclamation of martial law was taken up in the House. A resolution to sostain the Governor was approved by many leading Republicans. Major B. Rush Plumly, a Radical, from Galveston county, bitterly opposed it. He said: “1 shall vote against the Governor's proclamation of martial law because I think it illegal. I will not be deterred from the expression of my opinion against the proclamation by the cry of having gone over to the Democracy. I shall vote against it because I am a Republican, and regard the proclamation as destructive to the party and subversive of the consti­tution and liberties of the people. The

governor lias made a mistake. I will not e compelled under partv lashing to indorse

and ratify the error. My county has in­creased its Democratic majority from one hundred, two years ago, to two thousand now. The increase is caused by enforcing just such illegal and irregular declarations of martial law as we are now considering.”

SYNOPSIS OF THE PAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.

The barometer has fallen since Friday evening along the entire Atlantic coast, with partially cloudy and hazy weather. The highest pressure still remains between New Jersey and North Carolina. The low- barometer which was in Missouri, has moved very slowly northeast; brisk southerly winds, with cloud and rain, attended it from Eastern Missouri to Michigan, and cold northwest winds, with snow, are re­ported from the Missouri valley. The tem­perature has risen decideiily from the mid­dle Atlantic States to Missouri: cloudiness has increased in the Southern States, with northeast winds, and in the Golf States with southeast winds. Southwest winds, with threatening weather, extend from Ten­nessee to Lake Ontario.

p r o b a b il it ie s .

The area of lowest pressure will probably move to-night over Lake Michigan, pre­ceded by brisk south winds, and extend to Lakes Huron and Erie. On Sunday, threatening weather with rain will proba­bly prevail from the Ohio valley to Ver­mont and northward. Cloudy weather on the South Altantic and gulf coast, with easterly winds. Threatening weather, and possibly rain, for middle and east Atlantic coast.
