He Bxplains s Intentions Regarding the Enforcement of the Sanday Law. Ths SBest Way to Repeal an Obnox- ious Law is to Enforce {t. Iustreetions from Mr, Bonney Re- 3 spectfully Declined, The Committeo of Germans appointed ot the meeting at _Tnmer Hall, a few days ago, to pre- cent re§nmhona to the Mayor, presented those Tesolutions and themselves before His Honor Yesterday afternoon. The delegation was about ‘fifle‘:n strong, and was headed by Colorel C. Engoelsdorf 2nd Mr. F. Lachner. THE GERMAN COMMITTEE, The Mayor reccived the Committeo gracionely, end, having had the resolutions presented to Having perused the documents, the Mayor said he perceived wliat +“was the object of their visit. They had one ad- vaniage over him, however, in that they did not come 1n an official capacity, while he was Ppresent in none other. Colonel Enobelsdort eaid he was aware that ’the Alayor was in favor of carrying out existing w8, 80 far 23 his opinions could guide him. With reference to tho Sunday laws, how- ever, they were of the opinion that they wore a dead lotter, and that it was the Mayor's duty, before enforcing them, £0 obtain the opinion of the Common Council, and learn from them whether it was the wish of the people that they should be enforced. The Mayor said it wonld not be right for the Msyor to dictate what was proper or not; this !ast_el_l with the people. He had no legislative or ;uflfu_nal power beyond the veto powsr. His d;nuea were purely executive. Only one alterna- tfl:e was open to him: eithor to enforce the law Juirly, considerately, and judicionsly, or resign his office. Thero was no third conrse. Mr. Lachner said that the ordinance had been on the etstntn—!.:ook (sic) for many years, and has not been erfforced. Tt may be presumedthat it was not enférced becanse the people discoy- ered it wasnot a Pproper law to be in this book. The people were now divided on the question as to whether it was or not; how far thoy were divided neither he nor the Alnyor could tell, » Committee present represented aa enor- Fzous number of people; the Temperance Com- “mitiee who waited on the Mayor represented only themselves. _The meeting which appointed them had given them instructions to prefer no particular request; they were only asked to take what steps tho thought necessary for the S;:venhon of crime. Having ideas of their own t the saloons were among the causes of crime, %;y ul:ged the Ma;t'ar to close ltlxem on Sunday. W Was not a proper law to be on the books; had not been eng)xcefl by the Mayor's predecessors, and, before it was enforced, it was proper that an opportunity should be given them mlggcar{[un thn);i\r)piluhfnealing on the subject. o Mayor—2r, Lachner, you ar beliove?" 5 e 5§ L e o lawyer, T Mr. Lachner—TYes, sir. The Ma:{ux—’x'un are not talking to mens a lawyer. The meeting to which you allude in- . Bisted upon the enforcement of the ordmance ‘Bgeinst the violators of the law. The Commit- “toe appointed at that meeting called apon me, the ommittee of Fifteen, in contradistinction Yo the Commiitee of Twenfy-iive, Mr. Greene- baum’s Committee. In the second place, this ordinance has been enforced more or less ever sgince its passage. I epeak from experience, hav- ing been in the city for twenty years, and, as a lnown what was goin, 3t. At times it has been enforced with “Beverity, and sometimes with laxity, under Mayor Haines, Eayor Rumsey, Mayor Sherman, Mayor Rice, and my immedizto_pro- dece;gor, Mayor Mason.” No Msyor of the ity ©f Chicago, since this ordinance was passed, has taken the ground that it was a dead letter. They have only differed in their mothod .of enforce- ment, and in that they have been governed by public opinion.. Sometimes the people would be careless about it. Then there wonld be a flash up. Bo it is not strictly true that the law has & dead letter. It has been irregularly and -spasmodically enforced, at one time with one at another with lazity, for the past geventeen years. I hope and believe you are all lovers of law. If you have any stat- ‘utes or ordinances on your books that are un- popular or odious to tny class, cither great or Emall, or severe or oppressive, it is one of the {hnvlh‘a'ges of this "greaf "American Republic, st there is one course to pursme. It is ¥or the anthorities to enforce them, and for the ;:ople torepeal them. When they are tired of em they have the power to repeal them, and passnew ones. The power of enforcement is “with the Mayor. When you voted for mo last -#all, you all voted to enforce all the laws.. If 1 had been called upon to enforcs some of the 1aws in the interest of one party, and leave -others not_enforced, I could not Lave accepted +guch a divided duty. I took the same oath that -my predecessors have taken. As soon as this ‘matter had been nrged upon me by the citizens, -and by the public press, it would bo impossible Jor meto ignore the presence of this ordinance. The surest way to repeal an odious ordinance is 1o enforce it. "I have attempted to enforce this gx:\iinmce by anew method, £o as to avoid col- Yigions, riots, or bloodshed, or call- ing upon physical force,—to enforce it by the Courts, and relegate it to, you legal gen- tlemen. I could enforce it othertwise, hardly and meverely, did I deem it bestto doso. Ihave -Eenty of discretional power. But I have chosen e course I have as the most effective. When Tmen are in & cool state of mind lawis ten times more rendilflobefl;d than by en appeal to their E:ieaion& 1;0 e of giving orders to drag oon-keepers to the station-honses, I have di- rected the police to report violations at head- quarters, and cause Lhemt ltlo be Emmlmnfid byhlz magistrate. This gives them every logal rig] fl.h:?smy need. ![%:ey may have @ chengoof venue if they think the megistrate is prejudiced Bgainst them, or & trial by jury, if they prefer Xhat. They can agpex.l to "the Circuit or ‘Buperior Court, and from either of those Lo the ' Bupreme Court. That is the course Iam pursuing. These men have given bonds in $500, and contracted with the ity that they will carry out the provisions of the ordinance. There is no reason for arresting 4these men ; they are citizens of Chicago, prop- -erty-owners. Now, to-day, we have had a hun- dred trials, I do not know the result of them. There has been no bloodshed, no_excitement. Tho game course will be pursued to-morrow. Violators will be cited' before the magistrates. Each Eumadiu%Snnd!y that course will be pur- gued 25 long as L am Mayor. When my time ex- wpires, you can elect another Mayor; or you can Fepeal that ordinance. Aslong os the ordinance s on the statute books I must enforce it, Wers I to fail in doing eo, I sliould be entitled to your contempt. When I havo not.the nerve to enforce this law, I will resign my position, and leave the city. " Colonel Knobelsdorf—We are opposed to_that Taw. When Ivoted for you as Mayor, I did not think of inquiring what " were your opinions on this question. As you express yourself, we agree with you. We must repeal fhat lawin o truly legal manner. We do not expect anything else of you. You know that our ealoons_ure re- spectable. We did not think, however, that yon would carry out the wishes of o part of tho citi- ens without 2 vote ,of the Common Council, e law is oppressivo, and wowill doall that We haveit in our power to do to haveit re- led. We want you to help us carry out the mu easily as possible. . The Mayor—Colonel Knobeledorf, you were a éoldier, and have faced tho cannon, and men with bayonets in their hards, but if you were Bayor, acting under_oath, instead of me, you would act as I am acting. 5 . Colonel Knobelsdorf—We_asl: thet you will - pave a little regard for us. You must consider, - Mavor, that the request of one class of citi- Pens isnot sufiicient. If the people had it in ~Eheir power to-day, they would elect Aldermen who who would maks laws in accordance with Eheir wishes. The Mayor—I am glad that you have called; 1 expect you will do your puty, and will say to Ehe peupfla that this 18 2 city of laws,and this a free country; that whether the Jaws are agroe- - ablo or disagreeable, they must bo obeyed; as must be fong 25 they are upon the books the) of excite- .ppforced. You czn allay a great de ’ ment by telling the people that the’anthorities must be irue to their obligations. Let us obey ‘it until it is repealed. I have a very high appro- ciation of the Germans; they have been Enw- sbiding citizens, and for that reason have main. tained their liberties. I do notsayitis a orabadlaw; I heve my oath to enforce if have your moral oath to support the law aro the sufferers ; E\-ou must repeal it. _ Mr. Lachner said their only purpose was to learn ifhe (the Mayor) would xiob refrain from enforcing the law until the voico of the people bad been heard. The Mayor—I have no cmgont your wishes, Ihaveno power to sus- bend any gection of a law until it is repealed. I Tould be liable to moral indictment, if not legal, by déing it, Were I to suspond this law for s day even, I ghould be liable to be removed. Gentlemen, det me add one word more. I will enforce all laws, and shall look for yonr support in doing so. The Committeeretired, ;mrfecfly satisfied with the Mayor's explanation of his position. . THE MAYOR has expressed his determination of enforcing the Sunday lawpbut will not be interfered with in his method.” He says he has laid out his course, ; you power, if willing, to to the best of discretion, and the * Diatant effors of riot?'makem cannot make swerve from it. 4s to whether he will revoke licenses, he will not make & reply. Tell the people,” he said to reporter, “ that you found the Mayor a sphynx. But he will not"aid in the instigation of a riot. The demagogues who are endenyoring to pro- duce one, would be the first to show the white feather were they called upon to seize a mueket and preserve tha peace by the alaughter of their fellow- citizens, They were trymg to bring about such a state of ‘affairs, but \muii be the very men to find a * friend wanting to see them 5" dis- cover sudden sickness at home, or be troubled with physical disorders themselves at the vei Inoment wlien their presence was demanded.” He will not oarrest s man for selling beer, 18 Buch a proceeding would breed 2 riot; he will gecj that every offender is_summoned before the Police Court. For noise, turbulence, or defiance of authority, ar- rests would be necessary, but as the offenders were not eriminals, and would malke no attempt to escape, & summons would answer every pur- pose, and aid in the preservation of peaco. LETTER TO ME. BONNEY. The Mayor transmited the subjoined lotter to Mr. Bonney yesterday; Mr. Bonpey wrote the major part Of the ddress to His Honor, in- structing him in regard to his duty in the mode of the enforcement of the Sunday ordinance, scnt the Mayor 5 copy of the address, and asked him whether he desired a conference with & Sub- Committes of the Committee of Fifteen 28 to aoy points of the address. The Mayor's reply ‘was as follows : C. C. Bonney, Esq., Chicago, Il.: DEAR S1z: After looking over the addresses fo the public, put forth by the Committes of Fiftcen, I.per- ceive ng in them that requires an interviow or explanation, Asto the various demands made upon ma by the committee, I beg leave toremark that I shall continue to act in accordance with my understanding of the law and my convictions of official duty, and respectfully decline to be instructed or communded by unofficial individuals in regard thereto, Very respect- elly, JosEPR MEDILL, Carcaco, October, 18; S = THECITY IN BRIEF, The sale of lots yesterday, at Highlend Park, amounted to $40,623.

Over Thiriy Thousand Cases Around New York City. Serious Interruption to Busi~ _ness in Many Eastern Cities. A Stableman Aftacked with the Malady in Boston. New and Alarming Sympioms De- veloping, NEW YORE. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, New Yomk, Oct. 26.—Thirty thousand horses are reported sick here to-day, but no deaths from the horse plsgue aro authenticated. The pos- senger lines continueto accommodate the public protty well, but freight interests are at a partial dead-lock. Nearly all kinds of business are seri- ously blockaded, and the aggregate loss from suspension is estimated at several millions per day. Fifty por cent of the horses in the firo department are suffering from a mild form of the epidemic. The weather has slightly im- proved, and horses that have been carefully treated and rested are gencrally improving rap- idly. Mr. Henry Bergh publiches a card relating to the horse disease, in which he says: ** The ter- rible epidemic at this time prevailing among horses hore and elsewhere, and which threatens to paralyze trade and locomotion, if not ar- rested, has'caused the undersigned to instituta inguiries s to tho most officacious means of treating afllicted animals, and tho following ad- vico .and suggestions are recommended, being the results of the experienco of eminent sur- geons attached to the Anti-Cruelty Society, along with others equally skillful. That the disease is uenza in aggrava- ted form .seems to be solf-evident, and the remedies usually employed in the trentment of the human patient are _found to be most ser- viceablo in cases of the horse. Complete rest, warm blankets, non-exposure to draft of air, disinfectants, and total absence of bleeding and prostrating cathartic as a rule should be observ- “work. -rajn. ed.

New Yorg, Oct. 26.—The horse malady has now spread to such an extent that almost allthe horses in the city are said to be suffering in one form or another from symptoms of the epidemic. There are thousands of horses whith have not yet been put upon the list, but observation shows that many of these have the germs of tho disorder in their system. The disease has thus far been rather slow in its development and it ia not known yet whether its_stages have been seen. It is estimated that in the city and immediate vicinity there are from thirty to forty thousand horses suffering from woll-developed symptoms. The diséase to exhibit new and alarm- ing phases which are looked on as highly dan- gerous, inflammation of the throat extends ‘The i to the lungs, and rapidly grows more alarming, and the conghing is fearfully convulsive. Tho animal pants for- breath and becomes quite cold 8t the extremities. Thisscems to be the warn- ing of & fotal ending of the malady, and if it continues a8 widely prevalent as it is now for o few days longer there can be little doubt that bundreds of Lorses affected will die. The street- car companics, some of the livery stable propri- etors, and many of the down-town merchants are still working their diseased horses, and in all these cases gigns of fatality are becoming more alarming. In the stebles where all business is smspended until tho disease is mastered, very favorable reports are made. In some instances the convalescence of horses is very rapid. The trotters and racers stabled in the city seem to have nearly escaped the disease. Amers- cen Girl is already almost recovered from her glight attack. t least 60O cars have been withdrawn from the city railrond lines.. In this branch alone the discace throws thousands of men out of The hackmen have almost tripled their fares for passengers, in utter vio- Intion ~of the low, and refuse to carry those who refuse to pay an illegal rate. The managers of the railrond companies belioye thatat the present rate their stock can- not hold ot longer than Sundsy night. No stable reports, as_yet, that any horses havo been perfectly cured. Appreheneions exist that several ocean steam- ships will have to postpone sailing, owing to the impossibility of getting freight on board. 'l ravages of the horae diseaso continue un- abated, but up to this afternoon, no fatal cases are reported. Neyw Yomg, Oct. 26—Evening—The horse dis- ease to-night is reported to be unabated. In {act, the distemper is szid to be spreading. The feelings of alurm are increasing, and owners of animols not seriously affected are keeping their horsas in thoe stables, giving them every care. Tho number of cars running decreased very con- siderably ' to-duy, although it is mot quite so much owing to’ the disesse a to the great in- clemency of the weather caused by the heavy The Ninth Avenuo Railroad stopped. its 28 did also the Tifth Avenue Btage Company. In some of ' the .etables the = distemper made no appar- ent incrense; in others, notably that of the Third avenuo, it became soverer. The ex- ergs companies report a severity in some cases. t is stated that the United States Express Company has forty car-loads of freight in Jer- sey City In consequence of the scarcity of teams, The European steamers were not delayed to-day, although they have been inconvenienced some- what by the stoppage of the cart-drivers. Some of the lines recelve cargo on barges. Along the docks and piers it looks like Sunday. The same may be said of some of the railroad freight de- Enta. Anovel sight was furnished this afternoon some men dmgsmgmzondsfl ‘wagons, while others pushed behind. The losses to the busi- ness community already are said to be_very heavy, reaching hundreds of thomsands of dollars, The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is frequently visiting his sick horse “Billy” at Brooklyn. That city is suflerin? similarly to New York. At the principal piers freight ia piled up for went of means to remove it. e stenmer Indi ‘which arrived on Friday, has not yet commence discharging cargo. If the present state contin- ues a week the steamers cannot be unloaded, and a general ceseation of business must ensue, as regards the carrying of freight. One of the great inconveniences it a lack of horses for fu- nerals. In Brooklyn the railroad lines will probably withdraw &l the cars to-morrow, to give the disensed horses a chance for rest. A few fatal cses are reported, but it is not definitely settled whether it was caused by the epldemic. Medical suthority states that indor the most favorable circumstances the diseass runs from 7 to 10 days, and with the present un- favorable weather it may linger longer. At all eyents, it'it considered that the present incon- venience to the public is liable to continuo antil the latior part of the coming woek, by which cars, time the horses valescent. BOSTON. Bostox, Oét. 26.—Very fow horses are in the streots. All the varions” departments of busi- ness requiring horses areat o standstill, and suffering much in consequence. Hand carts are in demand, and numerous wagons drawn by men. The only encouraging feature is that few cases prove fatal. Bostox, Oct. 26.—Russell White, the driver of engine “Four,” while attending his horses to-dny, was suddenly taken with the horge dis- ease. He was conveyed to his home. He had all the symptoms of the disease, coughing, run- niog at the nose and eyes, and general foverish debility. : MALONE, . Y. OcpExssuner, N. Y., Oct, 26.—A despatch {rom Malone says that fifteen cases of the new horse disease have been discovered there, ROCHESTER. Rocresres, N. Y., Oct. 26.—More fatal cases of horse disease are reported this morning than dmfi the whole time since the disease first ap- peared. Tha streets are descrted by horses, but Wagons and carts drawn by men are plenty. The express companies announce thatno more goods be received. The railroad companies cannot deliver freight. Reports from the Erie Canal, particularly be- tweon_this city and Buffalo, aro very discourag- ing. Many boats have ticd up, and nearly eve craft has sick horses. Many have arrived wif dead horses on board. The towing companies advertise that they will furnish horses ns far as possible, but will not be responsible for any lack of service from them. . One’ of the bng&nge delivery companies is ‘using hand-cars on the street railrond track. LOCEPORT, N. Y. Lockeogr, N. Y., Oct. 20. ere is no abate- ment of the horse disesse in this vicinity. New. cases are occurring mot only in this city, but thronghont the neighboring country. ~The stages going in out find great difficulty in mak- ing their trips. A great number of horses in the public stables are unfit for use. There is 2 gen- eral depression in business. -BRUNSWICE, ME. Bruxswicr, Me., Oct. 26.—The has appeared hore in a mild form. WALL STREET. Review .of the Moncy, Bond, Stock, Gold, and Produce Markets, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yonx, Oct. 26.—The money market dur- ing the past week opened very easy, but after- wards there was a temporary stringency pro- duced by the shifting of stocks from strong to weak hands, and the locking-up of gold. Late in the week there was a reaction in rates on call, and the market once more became easy. Daring the prevalence of the stringency, money was sharp at 7, currency to 7, gold, with ex- ceptions on one day, at1-82 perdiem. On the closing days of the week monmey ranged from 7 to 4 per cent, and the supply was liberal on call. The demand for discounts at benk has been urgent, and the banks were not sble to take the paper offered by their dealers. Prime business notes are still quoted at 9@12 cent in open market. Advices from the in- r:;lor gonel horse disease ly report money active and close. FOREIGN EXCHANGE was strong early in the week, but weakened on the gold corner, and finally recovered when cash gold became easier. 2 GorD. The price of gold has finctusted froquently between 1125 and 1133¢, being influenced chief- 1y by the many reports in regard to the financial situation abroad. ~ A feature of the gold specu- IatioR was tho export to-day_of 81,200,000 gold coin, chiefly by the Bank of Montreal. BTOCKS. Bpeculation on the Stock Exchange has been characterized by sudden and frequent changes, from buoyancy to depression, and viceversa. The fluctuations have not only been wide, but ex- tremely violent, while the operations in some ehares have been on & scale of magnitude al- most without precedent. The events of the weck ehow a great growth -of speculation, and also demonstrate the fact that the present lesd- ers in Wall street deal in ficures and amounts that would startle men of the past. The week openecd wiih &_buoyant feeling in the lesding specialtics, and & farther advance was made, rnging from 1 to 4% per cent. Prosent indications poist o & ‘ve sotive speculation on the _ Stoc Exchange during the winter months, with wide and frequont fluctuations. Congress will soon be in session, and m:_‘ng financial measares will bo introduced which will infiuence speculation. IMPORTA AND EXPORTS. The foreign commerce of the port for the ‘week was a8 follows: General merchandise im- ports, including dry goods, 37,459,511 ; produce g;pom, $5,966,824, and spacie’ exports, &1,416,- 0, Total merchandise imports since Jan. 1, $362,690,000, sgainst $313,105,202 for the same time last year.

MOSEY. Money was more active this afternoon, and call Joans advanced to 7 per cent at the close. GoLD was quiet and steady at 113 to 11837, STOCKS.

Forney on His Being Read Out of the Grant Party, The Administration at Length Does Justice to Schurz. The San Juan Setilerient, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, TMPORTANT DECISION. X WasarxeTox, D. C., Oct. 26.—The Maryland Supreme Court has just decided an important” question, affecting the religious belief of wit- nesses. Thocase in point was an action for debt, where the defence makes the objcction of incompetency to o witness becauee of his want of religious belief. The objection was founded on the old common law rule, as well s & provis- ion in the State Constitution, providing thata belief in the existenco of a God, with 2 system of future reward and punishment, was the only requisite, It was shown by direct testimony ot impeach the witness that, so far 28 could be athered ffom his exproseions, ho camo within gnth theselimitations. In rebuttal it wasshown that the witness did not believe in & personal God, but only in & Supreme Spirit pervading nature, The Court held that a belief in & personel God ‘was not_mnecessary. and that the witness, by acknowledging mercly_the oxistence of & Su- prome Boing or Power, established his competency to testify. R THE PENSION OFFICE, #mno thanks to the Commissioner, who has been away nearly [all summer making political speocches,” has shown great energy in the settle- ment of claims of the surviving soldiers of 1813, for pensions under the act of 1871 Over 28,000 of these claims have been filed since the Dpassage of the act, and it is believed the number will reach 30,000. Should Congross pass an nct dur- ing the coming session gdlo\ring pensions to the 1812 veterans on n gervice of 30 instead of 60 deysas now, the number of pensioners will be augmented. FORNEY ON BEING READ OUT. Forney, in his Press to-day, quotes from s letter written by a distinguished member of the Loague, os follows: *Iwas read out of the Republican pa.rtyz on the 12th. of October, for refusing to vote for Hartranft, and on the 15th had a note from the League asking me to sub- scribe for the expenses of the late campsign, and in & few days another, scolding me because Ihad failed to respond,” ‘To_this Forney adds the following: ““Our case is & little harder. Russell Errett declared that we may vote for Grant, but shall not speak for him, and another communication asks us for a donation to pay. the expenses of the Grant orators.” JUSTICE DONE TO SCHURZ. The State - Department of the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury have st last put a elanderto silence in regard to Senator Schurz and his socount whie Minister st Berlig Tho Administration papers were allowé day after day to repeat the elander that General Schurz was largely in arrears to the Goyernment, and that his accounts were not in a eatisfactory condition, intimating that he had dishonestly used the Government fands. ~ Both the Treasury and State Department, now admit that the amonnt of $800, said to be overpaid to that gentleman he was fully entitled to CLERICAL, LAZINESS. The practice prevailing in nearly all the De- ertments here among clerks and officials of do- ing but four or five hours' worka d:}? has be- come g0 general that attention is called to it. Clerks frequently do not begin their duties until 10 o’clock in the morning, and take from half an hour to an hour for Iunch between 12 and 1, and leave the oftice between 2and 3. Commissioner Leggett has issued the following order in the Pafent Office, but neglects to explain his absence {from the office week after week this summer far political purposes : ‘¢ Bix hours a day isa short day’s work, yet I am sorry to see a dispouition in many officers and employes in the Patent Ofiice to defrand the Government of evon a portion of that time. They reach their rooms and et ready” for work after 9 in e morning, and prepare for leaving before 8 in the evening, and not unfren%;lently take from an hour to an hour to lunch at noon. This is an evil that must be stopped, and those who semiat in it must give place to those more in- ustrious and conscientious. It is expected that all will be at their desks and at work at 9 a. m., and that they will not commence getting ready to leave until 8 p. m., and that six honrs of office Iabor will be put in every day. Unless much more labor can be accomplished in the six hours the time must be extended to seveu hours. BOSDED STEAMERS.
