THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19; 1872 POLITICAL. Great Liberal Meeting at Central Hall. Speech of Hons James R. Deolittle, of Wisconsite Senatcr Morion, of Indi- ana, Answered. Address ot Southerners to New York Ferchamnts. Encouraging [News [from the Doubtful States. Miscellaneous Political Ytems from Various FPoints. HON. J. R. DOOLITTLE REPLIES TO SENATOR MORTON, OF iNDIANA. The Hon. J. R. Doolittle spoke yesterday even- ing &t Central Hall, on Wabash avenue, to a large gathering of Liberals. The meecting was presided over by Judge Otis, who stated his pleasure at the largo attendance, showing as it did the interest felt in reformand good govern- ment. They knew that he was a candidate for Congress. In accepting tho nomination he had said, if elected, he would do all he could to far- ther the interests of his great district. He wasno politician, but specially interested in the material interests of the city, and in rebuilding it to be more beautiful than it was before. The city, beingthe commercial centre of the Northwest, required special attention. The Government had taken charge of the finances, and were controlling them withan iron rule. More flexibility was wanted, and more adapta- tion fo the reguirements of a growing metro] lis. Those matters mustbe looked into. then addressed Judge Doolittle, who said : REMARES OF MR, DOOLITTLE. ‘He felt honored o speak to the citizens of Chicago, In his life, on some questions he had acted with the Democracy, on others he had acted with the great Re- publican party, up t01866, when he felt himself con- strained to leiveit, andbecame in unison with the ‘Democracy. He had thus become well acquainted with the principies and purposes of both parties, and from that knowledge, testified that the great mass of both were honest in their political conviction. Their politi- cal was second only to their religious creed, and they were soparated from one another muinly by misunder- standings. He purposed, therefore, to_nddress the judgment and reason of the people, Boping, if ho per- ed them, they nad moral courage to foilow Lim. On the preceding evening, he had listened to fhe epecch of the great Senator from Indiana, for be was the great leader of the Republican party, He had listened to the best argument that could be made for Grant’s re-clection, for Grecley's defeat, znd what he bad to say aginst the Liberal party. At first the Senator congratulated himself on the result of the recent elections, But there wos nothing in them of which any Republican could be proud. He bad been in North Carolina, and bad seen how the State was carried. The Marshal had drawn §23,000, while he should have drawn but $5,000. He appointed four or five hundred Deputy Marsbals, to be paid $5 > day and other expenses. They wers partisy 2ud many had blank worrants for the arrest of persoms charged with any offence against Felleral laws, Thirteen hun- dred persons had been indicied, and only twoarrested, 2nd it was hipted that those of them who went for Grant would be all right, Then in some counties more votes were cast than {he census shewed voters at the rate of two to five hundred in a county, Either there was colonizing or false returns. Yeb the Libe erals won o substantial victory, clecting the Legisia ture and five Congressmen. 1n Alsine, Upon unques- ‘tioned authority, all over the State there wasa_deluge of money, and every venal vote was bought unm. Nearly $500,000 was spent in Maine by the Hepubli- cans to prevent the reduction of their majority. A gentleman of Caleis, with whom he = wis well acquainted, said that in one ward where both par- ties had canvassed, tod there was nota Gifference of twenty-five, the Grunt men stood at the polls and puz- chissed 160 majority. Inall the large towns, 100 wag paid for z single vote. In Pennsslvania the truth wag ‘coming ont, and it was seen that the election returns had been clisnged and frauds, amounting to nearly 15,000 votes, perpetrated in Philadelphia, Where did &l this money come from? From assessments on of- fice-holders, of whom there wero over 60,000. They must bavo raised $2,500,000 that ' day. A gentleman had seen’ a letter from a New York banking house stating that the money loan- ed on call would not be called in if they were sure Grant was to be elected, and these firms were practi- cally called on to subscribe to a campaign fund. The tmoney loaned by the banks too was often Government Tunds, These things reised the question whether this 'was s Republican Government, or one under which the people’s money could be used to corrupt them, It raised s new jssue, If the time bad come when elec- tons were carried by money, they were not living under 5 Bepublican Government, but ane of rings. This imposed a new necessity for exertion. Some asked what nse it was to fight it, that they could carry Pennsylvania sgain, But thit was Do reason why the peopls of the fres West should give up the fight. Temmany had been ove wn for its corruptions, And the e8te should be done to any other party which succeeded by frand. It was no answer tosay that by Irand the Lecomption Constitution was adopted in Ransns, That was one of the most powerful reasons for the success of the Bepublican party. So every honest Republican ehould now unite with the Liberals in denunciation of these yecentfrauds, There was nothing in the recent elec- Hons of which any honest Republican could boast, but they were s reison why he sbould vote with the o ‘He proceeded to notice eome of Morton’s charges against the Liberals, It was sid it was en unprincipled coalition between designing Democrats and Republican Eoreheads. If true, tho Liberal movement ehould be condemned, but he believed he could show there was potruthinit. To show the needs of tho time was to Eatiafy every man that it.was unfounded, and that the union wes based on principle and pstriotism. This movement bad gone into effect alreedy in Some States. In Virginia, Missouri and Temmesses €t began in Missourl {two years ogo. War was then over and slavery sbolished, fhe black man bad hisrights, 1nd the Constitational amendments had been adopted. But 60,000 white citizens were disfranchised by the State Constitution and by test caths, Tney could not vote or hold office. The Tesult was, that evervwhere, though there was 1o civil war, there was_continual strife, and hard feeling almost #a bad as civil war. It @8 intolerable, that ibe Degrocs, opco alaves, could control the Stete Government, and 60,000 intelligent white men have Do voice at all, Then the liberal- minded Republican of Missouri gaid that was all rong, to enfranchise the blacks and disfranchisc one- ‘hird of the whites, and under the lead of B. Gratz supported by Carl Schurz, these men ory a Liberal movement and aimed at great re- salte o ivé, froedom to tho whites of Missouri and equal rights toall, Tuey nominated Brown for Gov- ermor, The Grant Administration used the power of fle Government to crush out that movement. They sent Morton aud their ofher speakers there, and Mor- ton eaid if the Government of Missouri was given to the whites, the rebels would come into power again, 2nd the Government would have (o pay for slaves, Tho question arose then, what the DemoCracy Was £0- ingto do there. Thoso who were not disfranchised saw the Liberals were planting themselves on the rock of justice, They believed in the samo things, and de- cided uot to run an opposition ticket, but to go side by sid.s with the Liberals, because they were fighting for the State of Missouri, and to_redeem it, and must o supported in their ctforts, The good_ sense.of the Democracy told them to shalie hands with tho Liber- 2ls, not for office, but to givo freedom to the State. They supporied Brown and Lo was elected by nearly 0,000 mujority, Thatwas Liberal and Democzatic Republicaniem mited togetber. What results followed in Missouri? Peace, pros- erit, and tranquility came 1o Missouri, and no Stats B2 prospered more than her. Mr, Morton said the Eu-Kiux would come out if Greeley was clected. There 112 been uoue in Missouri and every part of the State had prospered, for the men who had Deen engaged in civil war, could sit down and shake hands over the past, Boit had been in Virginia now s quito 28 Tllinols, becouse the hearts of men bad been recon- ciled, Tbey bad a true reconciliation, which went where the bayonet could not reac. These Liberals of Missour: having done so much for that State, were ot content to enjoy it by themselves, 2nd early in March issued a call {0 meet them in Cin® ‘onneti to bring about 3 generul recouciliation over the country. Thousauds met in that great Conveution, Berdly ever equalled for numbers, or character, embracs ing many of those who made the Republican party and carried ils brains snd conscience. The first tuey did oun toadopt a_platform, to which no man_present could object, with the exception of tho tarif plonk. Tost Western men were iu favor of freo trade, and many who wanted to join the Liberals wished to make suat the basis of a gréat party. But even Democrats Seére divided on the tarifl question, So they decided vo remit the question to the Congressional Districts, He did not bimeelf like it at first, but finally con- oluded it was fairly in sccordance with the spirit of e Constitution, and wis tle Lust 20d honestest way the question hiad ever becn dezltwith, Geuerally, plntforms bod a tarlff plank ‘which read both woys, This one was the most manly declatr.on ever mude on tlie subject. Asit stated, fhiere was o difference of opinion which ehould fairly e 1€ft to the representatives of the people. That was fue only plauk which bad ever becn questioned. Had they kuown a Republican to object to any part of tue Cincinnati platform? When it was first published, flie muss of the Democracy Epoke in commendation of It, 233_true platform applicable to our present condi- hon. Ttcommarded the favor of the whole American people. It was trae Republican and true Democratic, 0d on it honest Republicans and Demoacruts came to- pether, becauee they believed the same thing, und they Eould ot be kept apart, Prejndices might’ stand in the was, but in the end idess ruled 2l purties, ‘After the platform was adopted, Horace Grgeley was Brown, nominated, with B. Gratz Brown. The question again. arose as {0 what the Democrats should do, The Lib- eral plztform suited them; but the candidates had not acted with the Democrats. They bad for vears op- posed both, It was patural for men to favor one of their own pomber. Bub i Mr Greeley fought the Democracy it Was on old issues, Tnow dead. On tho great question at issue, of peace and tho restoration of equal rishs to all men 2nd Statee, ho was with the Democratic party, and the party was with him. The Democracy called their Convention, but long before it met the Democrutic rasses discussed the question, ond in ali the Staies there developed an unanimous sentiment, led by Dem= ocratic inetincts and common sense,to indorse the Lib- eral movement and candidates, Some said it was a movement of the. politicians. 'Noj it was onc of the eople, who overrnled the politicians. The work at Baltimore was easy, for the people had settled it be- fore, He mever salv more unanimity in any convention, A commilteo us ap- pointed to wait on Mr. Greeley, of which Dbe was Chairman, When he placed in his hands the notification of his unanimous nomina- tion, be said in reply: “Gentlemen, the Democratic Convention, in nomin: g me on that platform, is no Iess Democzatic than it cver has beer, and I 10 less Republican than I ever have been.” The old_issucs were gone; but on the new oneshe and the Convention stood together for peace and reconciliation. There wasuo coalition of party leaders for spoils, The Democratic Convention showed a sublimer act than any party bad ever shown, It had showed it could do its duty to the country and the pcople. That remarlk of Alr. Grecloy’s was historically and _logically true. Many had joined the Republican party in 1856, and knew its only issue was_opposition to slavery going juto the Territorics, and that point was all thiat Mr. Lincoln’s ciection setfled. If South- ern men had submitted to it slavery would have been 15 safe under bim as any other President, When Sum- ter was fired on the only question was whether the country should live or dic—slavery in the Territories aropped out of sight. The people of the North be- carae 2 unit, substantially, for the Goverpment. Mr, Dougl:s advised the = Democracy o support it, and Democrats and Republicans volun- teered fo savo the couniry, The changing of the issue touched tho heirt of the coun- try, and Democrats and Republicans svent £ide by eide, Much tho samo thing was bringing them togethier now,—to restore peace oud bring back har. mony to the Country. Inthe flow of human ecyents, by the convictions of men, when the questions wWhich Dad separated them were removed, they came together natursily as did two streams, So Wasitin tho organ- ization of parties, when old issues disappeared, and new ones arose, and o few postmasters could not keep men, once’ disunited, from coming together to carry out great objects. TFhey were coming together, Money would buy a few vensl Democrats, but for every ome they would gef ten honest Reputlicoms, They would gt tho brains of both parties before they got through. This was o coalition of politicians, It moved old men and yonng men, those who had been persistently Dem- ocratic and_persistently Republican, They were de- termined thiat & corrupt Administration should be overturned and the people’s money not used to cheat fliem of their fair resulte. They meant no unprinci- ‘pled coalition ; they meant to establish the princivles for which_they were contending, and in time they would do it. Chief smong those who oppose this grest movement ‘were Phillips, Boutwell, Butler, snd Morton, the latter chiefest, Mr. Phillips, the apostle of unforgiving hate, alled on_tho negroes to arm if Greeley wad elocted, and wanted Grant to be President till every Southern white over forty years old was dead. Mr, Boutwell, who spoke for the Administration, said nf North Carolia, in & speech printed beforo he left Washibgton, that he protested against any chisping of ‘hands over the bloody chasm. _Sutler told the peoplo of Massachusetts that a vote for Greeley was & vota for burning school-houses and desecrating churches, Morton said Greeley was the Ku-Klux candidate, and, if he was elected, they would possess the Government, The 'real issue to-day was peace Dbetween North and South, But Mr. Morton that Grecley wanted reconcilistion rebels, Who were they? Except in tho Middlo States, nine-tenths of the whole whito prople got involved in the rebellion, Justafter the war Mr, McCulloch could not find enough whobad not Deen in the rebellion to appoint as Coliectors, There could be no reconciliation with the Southern States unless it was with the rebels. Tho heart and brain of the South wzs in the rebellion. It had become a civil war. Now when Mr, Gresley wanted reconciliation ith the intalligent men of tho South he was called, o Ku-Klux candidate, Mr. Morton thought reconcilia- tion meant to be_on good terms with one’s friends, He himself thonght it meant the restoration of friendly ‘terms, once broken off, He did not say the leaders of the Tcbellion were freo from blame, but the great mass at the Sonth had_been educated to believe in slavery. Schools, ministers,” and ' papers taught it. They hiad been taught to believe in the right of scces- sion, It was wrong, but they believed in it, and fought as long 38 they could, g they were right if, That must be considered, for men fighting for What they thought was_right were not demoralized like men fighting for what they thonght was wrong. Was there one rebel soldier who had broken his parole, his word that he wonld submit to the lows? Thehis- tory of theworld did mot show 3 spectacle like the complete surrender of the rebel armies, Senator Morton charged that the Liberal piatform was a ghara, 8 part of the conspiracy to 3dopt a seem- ingly Republican platform,—~that_the wholo thing was a chest and a lie. 'The representatives of three million men in tho Democratic Convention made a declarn- tion of principles, and it was clzimed that there was no ‘meaning in them. It was said Liberal guccess meant rebel supremacy, s payment of the rebel debt, ctc, But the representatives of £ix million Southern whits peo- lo had pledged themselves to maintain the union of 1be States, emancipation, enfranchisement, and the re- opening of the questions’ settled by the Constitutional smendments, Was it just fo tmem to sy that thot was o protence ond 8 framd? Ho repelled fuch a charge sngoinst ihe | xe Baltimore Convention and the people it represented, ‘They were in favor of peaceand equality for all, black. aad white, sad, i they mucceedad, thoso would b thelz The Senator eaid Mr. Greeley falsely pledged himselt ot to enforce the Ku-Klux bill, eince the platform was opposed to suspending the habéas corpus writ, There ‘whe no inconsistency in that, A law of Congress did not need the suspension of habeas corpus to enforce it. ‘There was no pretext of necessity for it, unless there was actual tance. The man who could suspend that writ at pleasure was in substance a dictator, no matter what they called him, It was s power to be given to one in time or peace, Mr. Mortonsaid Mr. Greeley's election would dis- turb the finances, Liberal success in Missouri did not disturb the finances there, The South had to Lelp |- pay the national debt, and it was better for the North 102id it, 5o that it might have the ability to_pay taxes, Would it help the right arm fo injure the l£t? Tho greatest crile against civilized government had ‘been perpetrated on Southern States, When Grant was elected their debts were fifty millions; now it was two hundred and twenty, the effect being that the taxes were more than the rental of the property in the States, Florida, as General Birney said, had been te. duced to the point of bankruptcy, the only relief being to upset the present Administration. Ths Reconstrac- tion policy was to enfranchise blacks and disfranchiso whites, and let the carpet-bagrers orgunizo the blacks and tuke possession of the Government, They did 50, 2nd elected colored men who conld neither Tead or write, and who innocently voted bonds “es the carpet- baggers bid them. The bonds were sold, and the money pocketed, This Administration, and the men who controlled it, had connived ot that systcm, and robbed and plundered the South, What did they think now of disturbing the finances, when the Administra- tion party was devastaing the South, and check- ing the production of its great staples? Afier Mr., Grecles went Sonth - these things, he aw that it was necessary to stap that eystem and enable them to restore their energies, The credit of the Government rested on its bonds,and noth- ing else, The bonds wero strengthened by fetting six miilion people at the South feel that they were ot re- garded as rebels, but that they were once more citi- zens of the Bepublic. That would build up the South, and when they had prosperity the bonds would go up. 1f our credit was good, why could not we get money at 3per cent, like Englind? If the policy of recan- iliation = prevailed, the credit of the Gov- ernment would . be a8 good as of Grezt Britain, Build up the States that furnished the money, To strengthen the mational credit and the ‘banking system, which might some time be 3 system of frec banking, based on Government bonds, they must develop zll the States. This chcrge, that the ZLiberal movement would disturb the flnances, wos simply to slarm certain men, and prevent their judg- ing calmly of the situstion, ~Four years more of car- pet-bagging would make the Southern States zn in- tolerable burden, not worth the huving,—as bad a8 & dead body bound to a living man, If Alr, Lincoln had lived, in his dpinion, the reconciliation would have come long agg, but his assassinstion caused such o “fecling as to prevent it, Dfr, Greeley’s election would put an end to the carpet-bag system. Republicans said Grant should be elected becanse he 'was paying the Notional debt. Certainiyhe did not do it out of his own pocket. The impression w2s it was paid becauee he was President, But Mr, Johnson re- duced the debt 470,000,000 and General Grant 348,000,~ 000, Bat Mr. Johreon had no right to boast either. Tho people paid the people’s debt. Al of them, by constant taxation, in all forms, were payingit. ‘The forms of taxation were infinite. - Merchants and gro- cers were tax-gatherers, What was not stolen before it reached the Treasury or before it got out, and after paying for 8 most extravagant Administration, was applied to reduce the debt, So there was no reason for electing Grant on that und, Otbers said he should be elected becauee he saved the country. It ‘was not the speaker’s intention to take one laurel from Grant’s brow. He was a great goldier, but too much of a soldier and too little of anything elsc. He was firm aud impassive. Hecould go through the wildernesa smoking his cigar though ahundred thousaud men were killed or wounded there, But wastbata reason ‘why he should muke a good President. Julius Cesar was a great General, but a poor_Governor. Napoleon was a great General, but he carried his military ids into civil government and the Republic became an E pire. To be_ a3 great statesman 2 man must be educated as ' sach, General Grant was what he had been educated to be. He car- ried his military training from the camp _to the White House, and he had showed it in the San Domingo and other matters. He knew no better, He had run the Republican Convention of Louisiana after the same ‘military fashion, The Collector calied it in the Cus- tom House, and the PostmasterIssued tickets of ad- mission. General Herron said ninety-five of the dele- gates, opposed 10 Grant, went to the Custom House to in'and found about two companics of troops, and 3200 Deputy Marshals, and were not_allowed to go That was dealing with a convention in a military way. The resuit was the Louisiuna delegates at Philudelphia were °~ for Grunt. ‘The Louisiana Legis- lature ‘was, about to pass anti-Grant resolutions, 80 15 Grant Senutors wentto the Custom House, stayed:there for three days, ot of the reach . of the Sergeant at Arms, and were then carried off on arevenue cutter and keptaway for 14 days, the ex- penses being paid by the United States Marshal, out of the people's momey. Georgia had been recon- structed three or four times, and voted for President, but not for _Grant. So, in his first message he re~ commended that Congress ehould apply a new fest oath to the Georgia Legislature. General Farnsworth did not understand this, and asked the President about it, and ho said “Morton put that in.” Congress c3uld mot accept the recommendation, but Grant_had & military way of dealing with Georgis, aud the State was banded over to General Terry a8 a milie .ing officers: tary department, nd he was told tor do what he pleased ‘with {he Legislature. He. court: ‘martialed it and exchuded nineteen men who hiad been. duly elccted and pat in themen he wanted go that: " Bullock could rob Georgia as other States had been robbod, When thoso men wero expelled, then Bullock controlied tho Legiskture, and bonds were issued to- the amount of $20,000,000, If the honest men would open their eyes to zeo the truth, there was 10 Republi- can who could justify atlast, In his judgment the time had come for hon- est Democrats to redcem the country and restore it tow| An open air meeting was held by the Liberals of the Tenth Ward last evening, in & vacant lots on Adams street, near Peoria.

ADDRESS OF SOUTHERNERS TO NEW YORK MERCHANTS. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Oct. 18.—A circular has been re- caived at the Democratic headquarters, addressed to the merchants of this city by merchants of the Sonth. It asks them, as they value the pros- perity of the Southern States, to do what lies in their power to defent tho re-election of Presi- dent Grant. They claim that four years more of carpet-bag rule will fix upon them commercial paralysib. In-supporting Horace Greeloy, they say they give every possible ovidence of their desire tor reconciliation and peace. That four more years of Grant at the South means probably 8 warof races—cortainly & re-enthroncment of carpet-bagging—and they express the hope that if the commercial men of the North vaine' the rovival of the industry of the South thoy will unite in saving ita p::lpls from tho impending. calamity. These circulars have been sent from every portion of the South, especially the cotton States. CHEERING NEWS. At the Tjiberal Headquarters cheering letters . have been received from all the doubtfal States. i Reports from Mississippi. pronounco that State icertain for Greeley. %5 Pachoro, N. @, It & tated that a club of Greeley colored men, count- ing over a hundred, has been established. There +were ouly fifteen colored Conservative votes +ibere at the last election. Tho news from k- .mois and Wisconsin i8 encouraging. The Newark Journal hes & tablo of probable {msjorities in New Jersey countics, giving that 4State to Greeley by over 6,000 majority. The Times to-dsy admits that the Liberal cause is ‘not killed, and calls for the continued excrtion- of tho Grant party. The Herald thinks Groeley's idefeat probable, but proceeds to ssy: ‘ Thero “has, however, been a sufficiently powerful and dangerous rebellion againgt the existing Admin- istration to mark a serious disaffection in the public mind toward the %my in power—the strength of the opposition _has been this far as- {tonishing, even if i should not again rally in s ythreatening manner. Without any regular or- ganization, with old partics shattered and scat- .tered, withont money or official patronage, 4it has forced the Administration to extraordi- Tary efforts in order to provent it from becom- ;ing an overwholming success. In North Caro- lina, at the opening of the campaign, it struck down usually lnlx;fa Republican majorities and won a substantial victory for the Liberals; in ‘Ohio, it seriously impaired the Administration strength ; in Indiana, it achieved a brilliant and _decisive triumph; in Goorgia, it showed a ystrength that ehook the accepted belicfin the “position of the Southern Stutes. All this was »accomplished in the teoth of a patronage that is becoming slarmingly influential, and of a moneyed power probably unequalled since ‘the initiation = of political contests in this country. The Btate elcctions by no means settle the question of the Presidency, although they unquestionably great- 1y strengthen the chances of an Administration triumph’ in November. _Above all, we desire to impress upon the opposition the importance of maintaining the fight to the last lour, and of using every honorable effort to secure success.” THE LIBERAL CAUSE IN EDGAR, CLARK, AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES, ILLINOIS Special Despateh to The Chicago Zribune. CextRALIA, Iil, Oct. 18.—The Liberal Re- ‘publican meeting at Paris, Edgar County, on ‘Wednesday evening, was a great success. The Court House was crowded, a very considerablo portion of tho audience being Ropublicans.

Armstrong, & well-known citizen of this place, formerly one of tho proprietors of the Marine Railway, came to his death, about 11 o’clock Iast night, under circumstances that rival in mystery the cele- brated Nathan murder caso of New York. The evidence before the Coroner's_jury disclosed the fact that Armstrong not been liv- ing amicably with "his wife for some zim:m ast. = Duving the pnst two weeks he on at New Albany, Ind., where a few months ago ‘he purchased an_interest in the pottery works in _that city. strong unex- gec:edly returned home last night, took off his oots, left them in the parlor, went up stairs go his wife’s room, where . Armstrong says he Deat and abused her in every manner, and finally dragged her down stairs. At the bottom of tise stairs she screamed, and he released her. wentup stairs immediatoly. Presently she heard a pistol shot. _Armstrong was found by a peighbor luying outside the Dack ‘hall door, with a bullet holo just at the corner of his left oye. Upon examining the body,, the forehead was fonud to be covered with bruises, and his hands somewhat cut and torn, showi that the deceased had been engaged Joub struggle. Tho bullel passed upwards, and entirely through his brain, If the wound had been sclf-inflicted, powder marks would have andoubtedly been found, which is not the case. That the case is one of murder, and not suicide, thero can be no reasonable doubt. The most mysterions part of the affair is, how Armstrong got in the nouse. That he was in- side is proved by the fact that the body was found without boots, and the boots were found in the parlor. The Coroper's jury have not yet roturned & verdict.

A meeting of the Railroad Committee of the Common Council was held yesterday 2fterncon, for tho purpose of acting on various importsnt matters, including the Burlington Crossing on . Wabash and Michigan avenues,and State and Clark streets. 2 The first thing taken up was in relation to vinducts and the use of horse power on Sixteenth street. Mr. Wardman asked Mr, Walker, of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Road, what he would like to do on behalf of his road. b That gentleman said that 80 far as using horse power was concerned, the railroads conld not affordit. If they could, business people and the community conld not afford it. It was imprac- ticable—it could not be done and do the business. If the ronds .-took all the streets and all the dsy they conld not do it even now. Generally a car took four horses. They could not get horses enough to move the cars of the passenger trains alone. Five hun- dred freight cars were also passing.. The. rail- roads were more important to the city than any- thing else. They must do their business prompt-~ ly. Goods and passengers muat 0ot be delayed. There were suburban towns whose people must get in and leave fpromptly, and not spend an hour and & half in going to the city limits. The road ran six special suburbad trains, snd they must be given up if they went to horse-power. Nor did he think the passage of the streets of so mnuch consequence. It was dangerous, but the deley was not much to complain of. But for the roads there would have been no Chicago, and & thousand delays were better than no roads, His asgociates had brought s hundred million to build their road, and the reeult was the city. Would they now destroy thaf traffic? They had bettor incresse the facilities, and offer induce~ ments for people to come here. No man present had been delayed over thres minutes at any crossing. There was a thousand times more.de~ Iay at the bridges. They could not have s rail- road system without evils, but would they there- fore give up roads? The road came in many years ago. We got the right of way through what was then an open fiefd. All who came to live here after then imew the road waa there for all time by legialative enactment. - - | Mr. Tuley stated the grant across the city was loh%a Tlinois Central. 5 . Walker thought if one road had the grant alihad. In reply o the Mayor, he did not dis- pute the right of the Council to pass the order relative to horse power. Ald. Clark gsid the people would be satisfied if the Indiana Avenue Engine House were ro- moved, the coal and lime tracks taken up, lum- ber cars not bronght over to the South Side, and freight trains not made up there. If theroad would do that they would waive the viaduct question for the tima, Mr. Walker did notintend to argue the powers of the Council. He wanted to point ont the im- policy of such an ordinance. If passed, they should build from Aurora to Joliet and pass by fihicngo. bTha cofilld bdiapanae with the Enkgina onse, substagtially, by 80 arranging as to kee tha angines off Mickizan svomme, Orders had ‘been given to stop letting off storm there 8o as to frighten horses. ; The M&Esor com&xhined of whistling. Mr. Walker said the Legislature required the whistle sounded or & bell rung. K The Mayor preferred the bell. He was waken- ed from & sound elseg every night. Mr, Walkor said the eecond point could be satisfactorily arranged. It was their desire to sccommodate the people. Trains _were lim- ited to twenty cars now. They might be limited to ten, which wonld not cover more than one street. The point would be considered. As for viaducts, he had not consulted other roads, but the Chicago, Bnrlinfton & Quincy and Michi- gan Central would do all that was necessary on their own Jands, the city to build_the approach. Viaducts he thought the only thing, and that they were unobjectionable. The track could be lowered eight or nine fegt. About sixteen fest and a half were required for a train. The Mayor suggested that they have special engines, with lower emoke-stacks. Mr. Waller gnid the Pullman cars were four- teen fect, and they had brakesmen on freight, cars. They must have sixteen and a half feet. The approach at the viaducts would hardly be pfrcsp!ibla, m‘d fl;\‘ucno disndvmt:lg:‘. It was the purpose of the Company, in time, to put Siaducts over all their sirsets” i Mr. Newell, of the. Illinois Central, eaid his Com{l:my had for years been ready for viaducts. Nearly all the lumber shipped by the Central | Wells and other streets belonging to his com- any. -Wolls street had not been operated sincs Phe “fire had burnt the blocks 80 28 to mako if Decesgary totake up the rails. The Company intended'to operate it at once, and it was nearly ready. There wasno intention of abandoning Wells streot, which thiey had always considered velnable, They did not operate it much, for it had ' no_ontlet, VanBuren street being too narrow. The present bridge was wide enongh. “There was some doubt as to whether Harrison streetwas tied up. So far as thera was no con- {lict, the West Side Road had nothing to say_on Twelfth strect, The West Side Hoad bad & claim. He incidentally stated that his Company had in & year spent 320,000 on streets. 3 Mr. Honnessy, of the South Side Rosd, said his Company would not fight any new road, so longasit did mot touch its franchises. The Company had given up its rights on Third avenue, thinking Clark and State sufficient. It believed it had dono its share of the work, and if the city went to granting new franchises, the first guestion was whether Third avenue should not be given back to them rather than foany now Company. 1f the stréets were permanent- ly improved the Cumgfiy could have cleaner and better cars. They faithfolly tried to do the best they could. They intended to"lay the Olark street line this fall to Twelfth street. If & new line was needed botween Clark and State, iha g:!gsfion was, should not their company ave it ? The question of taking the Rock Xsland tracks off Clark strest was not taken up, and the Com- mittee adjourned till Tuesday. — e WASHBURN SPEAKS.

Casseld accidentally fell out of his buggy, at the corner of Blue Island avenue and Harbine street, and was geriously injured about the head. Ho was carried to his residence, No. 80 Canalport avenue, where he was attended to by a brother physioian. Thomas D, Reilly, well-known in this city, where he kept s saloon for many years, died sud- denly, yesterday afternoon, while on his way from Danville. His disease is supposed to have ‘been congestion of the liver. The remains ar- rived here at half-past 3 o’clock, and were taken charge of by & committee of Knights of Pythias, of \vbhich order deccased was a distinguished member. An unfortunate woman named Mrs. Boying- came from the West Side, and cars had to be sent acroes the city. They could not get it by the Stock Yard track, for it wonld take six days, and stop shipments. Owners of lumber yards would like to be consulted about it. The num- ber of cars in o train might to limitod o ton, but | it would be an expense, doubling ~ the number of engines and men, and.absorbing profits. There were times when a train had to stop, but it would be practicable to so arrange matters as not to block a street. The Western lumber trade of the rosd conld be done on the West Side. The road was willing to join in any- thing to relieve difficulties, but they preferred viaducts, which removed the difficulty for all time. It was not practicable to tunnel the river, sinco they had to go down thirty-six feet, and they could not drop their grade so much on the South Side, and West Side lumber cars would bave to switch back a long distance. If they had viaducts, theéy would~have to raise .the ade nine feet at Wabash, and ten” at tate. That sunk the to . one foot sbove extreme high water in °the lake. The wards would pay for the abutments and tho superstrocture. e sidewalks the city would have to build. If vinducts were needed over alleys, thoy would build them also. The Clark street viaduct would have to be four feet higher. The tracks of the Michigan Southern Road could be lowered four feet. The removal of the sewers would not aid them. They wers overned by hiib water. So long as the Rock land was on Clark sireet, they would build no Vipduct there. Whether .the Northwestern was willing to spend any money on the viaducts he doubted, but the other roads were three-quarter owners. He szgreed with Mr. Walker that via- ducts nlone could settle the matter. The rail- road and city engineers had agreed upon that point. The road was in no hurry to build the vig.éiuctu, ‘but was ready to do it when the city s2id s0. Mir. Hartls, of the C., B. & Q. Road, said thet by making up trains of fow cara they could stop the obstruction of strests. If they could keep cars in motion it was better to have ome train of twenty than two of ten. All wanted ta have the delay as brief-as possible. Mr. Walker never knew of any team being frightened at the Halsted street viaduct, and Mr, ‘Woodman had seen no such instances at Adams “street. . Mr. Walker said viaductd were universal in Burope, and did not scare horses. A little gid- ing would. remove all trouble. Bir. Newell eaid their ides was. to make & bndgn of iron beams with a Nicolson pavement on that. i Mr. Woodman stated that no member of the Committee had thonght of reguiring horse power. . TIE GARDEN CITY HORSE RAILWAY was then taken up. In reply to questions by Mr. Tuley, it was stated tha the Company Was only partially organized, and that under the general Incorporation law. Dr. Taley questioned the power of the city to grant the special franchise asked for. ‘The attorney for the road was unable to see snything in the new constitution by which a difference existed botween corporators specially organized and those created under general law, r. Tuley said some of tho stroets mentioned had been abandoned by other companica on con- dition the city granted the rightof way to no other Company. * The attorney was willing to strike out any such strect, But they wanted Wells strest, if possible, bolieving the other company had: for- Teited its privilege. The restricted strects on the South Side were Michigan, Wakbmsh, and Third avenuen. They asked for Dearborn street sonth of Jackson. Tho people on tho streets where it was proposed to lay tho tracks were generally in favor of them. They proposed to 1mn southwest and northwest ; to get south to T'welfth, and then go west; to go north on Wells to Indinna and then west and north. Mr. Bradley, of the West Side Roads, 8aid so far as granting rights to other roads was concerned, e u‘dno'iinfi to sny. The Garden City Com- pany included in their ordinance, however, ton, who resides on Hubbard street, was arrasted for intoxication, yesterdsy afternoon, and con- fined in the Madison Street Station. Durin, the evening she attempted to hang herself witl & rope mede out of & portion of her clothing, and it became necessary. to handcuff her. The wretched womsn is_almost insene from the effects of drink, and'is likely to take herlife ab any moment. Coroner Stephens held an_inquest, yesterday, on the remams of John G. Norton, who yas found in the river on Thursday morning.» A Iarge gash was found in the back of his head, but the post mortem examination showed that it bad been inflicted after death, probably by a propeller wheel.
