It is fun to watch the opposition what you call 'em newspapers, trying to fasten the blame on each other. Th New York Tribune, which may be called from the Liberal wing, now, we suppose, says it is all ths old Democrats fault that Greeley was beat, and plainly states that the Liberal strength was neutralized by Democrats who would not cat crow while they could get $5 to $20 each, for not eating it. Wise folks these Democrats must be, easy bought, according to the Tribune, for it says, "nothing purcbasa- ble in the Keystone State was left un bought." The Missouri Republican an old line Democratic sheet goes for the Liberal this way ; "There was next to no Liberal rank and file in the fighte, xcept in 111., and Ohio the Liberal masses were dis astrously few." It calls the Liberal leaders, such as Schurz, Trumbull and Sumner, "Insurgent Chiefs,"' and says the Democratic allies came, but the Re publican followers, whose support they should have had, came not. Thus each accuses the other of being the lame duck, and the unkindest cut of all the Republican also says: "Mr. Sumner, with 05,000 majority against him in his own State, and Vice-President Wilson overshadowing hiui will sink into the un influential and powerless position he oc cupied under the old Democratic ascend ency fifteen years ago." There's rich ness for you ! Truly, Democratic Re publics might prove ungrateful ! According to Theodore Tilton, Vic Woodhull is a noble, pure and much abused woman ; but that was writteu tnOLtbs ago. telegram speaks for itself: Omaha, Nov. 12, 1872, Editor Herald: Every company in my agency Found as a dollar. II. E. Palmer, Insurance Ag't. Speculation has been rife as to the effect on ths insurance companies of this last and most disastrous fire, but the reports so far seem to be more favorable than expected. . Iizrance Cxrrariies.

The Mount Vrrnon, Hide and Leather, and Everett banks were saved, but lost tkir valuables What would you rather do than be a defeated candidate? Dies Earl The Missouri Republican thinks the Baltimore Convention did the business for Greeley It says: "'The Baltimore convention did not intend to kill the movement ; but it did effectually kill it. It imagined that its own powerful protectorate would strengthen the rebellion; but it was the dentlvpf it. All that the movement re quire'! was to be left alone. It contained within itself every conceivable element of a powerful and destructive schism. It needed no indorsement, no formal ap proval. no protection ; it needed nothing but to be left to its own resources, with Ferfect freedom of action and appeal. t should have led in the battle ; indeed, it should have occupied the whole field and made the whole fight, assuring itself only of the united support of the friend ly reserve of three million Democratic mnskcts, at the final charge. Had this course been pursued, not one .of those Democratic muskets would have been wanting in the crisis, end the Liberal part3r instead of being a party of a score of leader, would have been a hoH five hundred thousand strong. The De mocracy should not have made a nomi-. nation, at all ; it snoulu have tor mally and conspicuously withdrawn from the field, annDunccd its resolution not to make a contest for the presidency, either with its own candidate, i r any other can didate, and thus yielded fighting-ground to any foe of tho administration that might take its place. This was the 'passive policy.' " ' - YHiit lir. Esocier will Do. f Trom the Sunday Mercury. Reporter. I want to know how Brother lieecher takes this Woodhull affair. Deacon Hudson.

During yesterday a great .many visit ors called upon the sister brokers and stirpiculturi.ts at Ludlow Street Jail. Among them were their father and mother, the not to be-obscured Geore-e F.

By reference to our telegraphic col umns of yesterday and today, our read ers will gather fall accounts of the be ginning, progress and final arrest of the ravages of the great Fire King, wt:ich for the fourth time within a very short period has devastated portions of our country. The Portland fire was followed by that of Chicago, almost eimultane ously with which came the fire in the lumber regions of the lakes ; and now this one at Boston, which although not equal in extent to that of Chicago, has consumed more valuable property. Th portion burned contained some of the finest blocks of stores aud ware houses to be found on the continent. The amount of property destroyed is differently , estimated, but will probably come in the neighborhood of one hun dred millions, perhaps even more. There will be less Buffering from in clemency of weather than in Chicago, as but comparatively few dwelling houses were burned, the fire being confined mostly to the business parts of the city, The telegraph reports already chroni cle the noble efforts of sister cities to re live as far as possible the sufferings of the burning city, foremost among which is Chicago, showing her to be rightly mindful of the help that was given in her time of nod, and anxious to return it as far as possible.

Good for Plattsmouth Tne Democratic Eatnre. The World says of the Democratic fu ture : "Our chief reliance for the future de pends on the fact that it is not Demo cratic principles which have been do feated in this election, but only a mista ken Democratic strategy. Had we gunc into the contest on our own principles, and had we been tree from the lanitnany frauds a local matter, for which the great body of the party was in no way responsible we should not have encoun tered this signal defeat. This has not been a contest of opposing principles, but a contest of political accidents. The battle tDU-t vet be fought on the ground of principle, and on that ground the Democratic party cannot fall. It will earn wisdom from its recent mistakes, nd never acain compromise principle 000. for a fancied expediency." Baked-bean festivals are making niirht3 leepless down in Maine. i o:t fiess. Thet. Louis Goisays: The great fire enforces fresh attention to means of protection against such fearful disaster. The subject now assumes startling mo ment. The lacts by which the Chicago horror was explained a high wind, flames beginning in a frame tenement quarter, aud a general insubstantiaiity or structure these cannot ue anegeu, as they were in the case of Chicago. No wind was stirring. The flames started in a massive graiute-built quarter and m Ko-oalled fire-nroof blocks. The vast amount of combustibles in the burning building heated it so intensely and blaz ed from the roof so tremendously that the adjoining buildings caught at the roofs, lusher than the hremen couta work with effect, and in this way the destruction raged. Ingenuity must now devise better security against the con flagration of cities. The papers ar full of the great fires. The Insurance Co.'s are badly demoral ized. It is thought the old Etna and Phffinix of Hartford may sueenmb this time. Ten thousand working girls are thrown out of employment. It is proposed to call on the Govern ment for aid. The St. Louis Republi can takes a very gloomy view of the matter, stating, that as Chicago has been largely rebuilt by the aid ot Boston capital, which will now have to bejwith drawn, the result will be fatal to Chicago and the business of the north west This is overdrawn, we think; but that it will seriously disarrange all busi ness, increase the values of all goods, and stop for a time many public improve ments, especially railroad building, there can be no doubt.
