It must aleo seriously affect the election. Wherever the disease pre- vails in the rural districts it will be impossible for tho farmers to get to the polls. Tn the cities the vote will probably be reduced, for that con- siderable number of voters who slways depend upon wagons, and won't or can't vote on foof, will be wanting. In Chicago, politics which have taken one | wide divergence, owing to the Sundsy question, now take another, owing to the epizootic. As long s the horses are sick, people will care very little whether beer flows to-day or not. The temperance question goes out of sight, and the horse stepsin. All the little petty questions, and the big State and National isstes; fade into insignificance before the eyes of that man whose horee is in the barn, coughing and enivelling, he himself puffing along on foof, uncertain whether be can get to any place in any given time, equally uncertain, a3 he leaves home in the momming, when le will again get to the bosom of his horseless family. It is of 1o use to talk politics to him now, temperance, or Sunday-beer, or anything else, for his horse is sick. All this goes to show upon what slight threads great eventshang. A sick horse drags himself with uncertain gait into the political field, and, presto, the eagle stops his screaming, the calcium lights sre dimmed, the colored troops fight badly, the orators’ voices grow feebler, the bummers house themselves in the seloons, and the grasshopper becomes s burden. AN EMBARGO ON TRADE AND TRAVEL. The Lorse-distemper is now in full force in this city, and its effects were strikingly visible in all parts of the city yesterdsy. All the omni- bus and horse-cars suspended travel, and the means cf transportation generally were cut off. Ordinarily, the interruption of the public con- ~veyances would be remedied in part, at least, by the use of private carriages, hacks, and impro- ised vehicles ; but these means of relief fail in this emergency, for thereason that the dis- temper has attacked all horses alike. Livery- stables are as helpless as omnibus lines, and the malady is now reaching the thoroughbreds and choice steeds of the private stables. The stoppage of transportation of passengers to and from varions parts of the cityis, how- ever, the least of the evils to which the city is subjected. It suspends building to 2 great ex- tent. It has driven from work thousands of horses employed in hauling sand, lime, lumber, stone, iron, and other material. And, when horses stop working, men must st->. Even yes- terdsy, work was suspended in many cases for the want of some necessery material, which could not be obtained for want of horses to haul jt. To-morrow, this effect will be more general, and will continne to increase with each success- ive day that the malady prevails. The time during which the disesso disables a horse averages ten days, so that the suspension of travel and of ordinary business of horses will last fally thet long. To this we must make up onr minds, and bear it s best we may. Those at- tacked first will recover first, and their use will precede the general resumption of work. But 1ot of the horses may be said to have been at- tacked yesterday, and they will not, probably, be fit to work before Wednesday of next week. The inconvenience and loss resulting from #his interruption can hardly b estimated, but is certainly very severe. It has stopped the re- ceipt and delivery of goods by most of the whole- sale houses,—zninterruption of businessnot only expensive to our merchants, but to %1l their cus- tomers. It hes interupted building, and an in- terruption in that line at this time, when the re- maining days of the season are” 80 few, will be disestrons to many owners and contractors, and a1l with severity npon & multitude of workmen. Each day’s loss of employment now is double what it would have been three months back. It is £0 mnch added to the non-working sezson. The interruption will seriously disturb the -business of all cur manafactories. Theiron and machine ehops, the planing and saw mills, the sash, door, and blind factories, and sll other occupa~ tions dependent npon the daily receipt of ma~ terial and the delivery of product by horse-pow- er, will all experience more or less & loss and inconvenience, and be subject o a partial sus- pension of work. But Chicago hes had worse calamities than this; it has been time and again visited by = pestilence which swept away mem- bers of the human family by the hundred daily. 1t has been engulfed in fire. Thereis reason to e thenkfal thet this epidemic among the horses isnot fatal. It is general, but its effectsare temporary. Serious as is the calamity in its in- terruption of business and of work, there is some comfort in the assurance that its duration will be short, and its destruction limited. —ee POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF THE HORSE. The epizootic is making itself felt in the polit- jeal campaign with very decided effect. Three months ago such a statement wonld have been ridicaled. The most astute wire-puller would ‘have emiled at the idea of tho influence of the horse on politics. And yet, if he can prevent ocean steamers from eailing, cause avirtual sus- pension of wholesale and retail business, induce etagnation in all commercial enterprises, prevent the living from fulfilliag their social and busi- nees engsgements and the dead from being ‘buried, and completely lay an embargo on the sttendsnce upon amusements and Sunday ser- there is no reason why heshouldnot revo- Iutionize, or at least distract, a political cam- paign, and this he has done. He has coughed and sneczed the enthusiasm all out of it. Itis of no uso for o man who has got & sick horse to try and be enthusisstic over candidates. 1t ie not now the familier question * For whom will you vote?” but *THow is your horse?” Greeley men and Grant men have ot Jeast agreed upon one stable topic (nopun intended), and that is the necessity of reform in the care and treatment of the horse, and some remedy for his catarrh. Genersl Grant can norw, for the first time, come in for sympathy from his political opponerite. Heruns fo horses principally, and {here is no doubt that, by thie time, they are all down with the cpizootic. All politicians can meet on this common ground, and all must ufer alike in this common affliction. How cn the candidstes get to their speaking Plees in the rural districts without horses, or how can the voters go to hear them? What is the s of the political meeting if you cannot bave the triumphal car with tho six-and-thirty , white uo blue young ladies? How can the enthuse” Wilang the brass band, and Low is tle brass band to be on hend without the wegon? How can the ‘“mounted hoss cavalry ” join in tho procession? How can the country be gaved onfoot? Surely, now, if ever, the politi- can can appreciate Richard's intense desire and muvilicent offer for 2 horse. The fag end of the campaign must inevitably be a dull one without tLe blaze zod glory which usually illuminates A TEXT FOR SUNDAY. There is an excellent opportunity just now for our clergymen to recall the fact that civilization began with flocks and herds of useful animals} and, in epite of the progress that has been made in art, science, and the means of transportation and locomotion, it requires but an experience of s day or two with the Horse-Disease to demon- strate that they are as necessary now as in the times of Abrahem, Teasc, and Jacob. It has be- come £0 common of late years to associate the progress of the world with the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, and the other useful inventions and applications of man's genius, that nothing less than a general disablement of the brute forces, such as prevails in Chicago to- day, could persuade mankind that we aro still s dependent upon the dumb animals as the nomads of Arsbia were when Jacob tended Laban’s flocks, Take away horses and oxen from the world without supplying their places with corresponding animal forces in na- ture, and civilization would cease. The earth could not be cultivated toa sufficient extent to support human life. In cities there would bo ter- rible loss of property, by fire and disaster, which can now becontrolledand averted. Everywhere the greater esposure of human life would breed disease and death. Thedemoralization of society would inevitably follow, and the ruling. idea of civilized communities would necesearily give way to the eelfish rage of barbarous times. There is soms use, then, even for the Horse- Disease. The lesson which it teachesis the more necessary because it had almost been for- gotten, and certainly it has nowhere been prop- erly appreciated. Now that the wholesale mer- chants find their business clogged by their in- ability to carry goods to and from the depots, they begin to understand that & great railroad centre is not the chief thing requisite for their success. Now that the retsil merchants find their stores empty, they will be inclined to place a higher estimate upon the lines of strect-cars and stages which thehorses propel. Now that the theatres and concert-rooms present a beggarly ar- ray of empty benches, the managers will compre- hend that the horse is somebody. Theministers themselves may discover, this morning, that gomething more than eloquence is necessary to draw an audience. Religious devotion may find a practical expression in pedestrianism, and pe- destrianism will increase the growing attach- ment for the dumb animal that has suddenly come to the surface. Everywhere and among all classes—except, poszibly, the veterina- ry surgeons,—the result of the present visita- tion must be & practical revaluation of the ‘horse which will tend to give him his true place in civilization, and, it is to be hoped, ameliorate ‘his condition inlife. It is probable that the preachers, with an aptitude for hitting the popular topirs of the time only second to that of the newspapers, will mske the Horse-Disease the subject of their in- structions for to-dsy. The topic is a fruitful one, even from s religious point of view. Balaam’s ass may speak again, and with accents more sorrowful and complaints more harrowing than of old. But the ministers of the gospel should make their treatment of the present emergency essentially practical. The sermon that shall point out, and insist upon, the ob- servance of humanity to the brate creation, will be productive of the best resulis. In animal life, horses are like men and women. They require osygen, light and rest for their preservation and health. The practice of crowding them together in low, damp, and dark places is tolerated where the same treatment of humsn life would arouso universal indignation. The filth of stable life, where large numbers of animals are kept ; the inhuman exactions that aremade upon the exbausted physical condi- tions of the horses; the manifold abuses that are ordinarily to be found in tho stage and car companies, are first-rate texts for the pulpit. It may well be doubted whether the hanging of a liquor-seller would furnish so fine spectacle to point a moral and adorn a tale as the empty strects and disordered stubles of our city are now giving. OUR LOCAL COMMUNICATIONS, 1If it be true that ““evil communications cor- rupt good manners,” the test is likely to be severely applied in Chicago during the preva- lence of the horse-malady. It is & severe <rial of the temper of our citizens whose homes and places of business arc 80 widely scattered, that our ordinary lines of streei-travel are to be almost totally interrupted. Saturdey morning found the streets full of pedestrians pushing cityward with admirable cheerfulness indeed, but atasnd sacrifice of timo and labor. We refer elsewhere to the street-railway question. Within the past few years the homes of Chicago have spread widely npon the prairies and along the lake shore. Itisten miles from Fullerton avenue on the norih, to Sixty-third street, the line of Englewood and the great shore park on the south; and the western limit is six miles from the lake shore. Throughout all this territory are the homes of our business men, our mechanics, our employes, and economical question of the hour is whether tho street- embargo can be relieved. _ Fortunately, it can be, to alarge extent. Chi- cago has been liberal in her policy to her rail- roads, and they ste coming to the rescue. Tho city map shows how wonderfully complete is the railrond system, which can and will bring a ‘householders of ol grades. The most pressing, substantial measure of relief. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company will run half-hourly traing from their depot on Har- rison street to Englewood Junction, stopping at street crossings. This will bring very closely into the centre of the South Division the grest populstion that has been gath- ering eouthward more remote from the lnke shore. The Illinois Central Hyde Park trains would, if started half-hourly, give residents sll the way from Twelfth street to Hyde Park very fair accommodation. The Pitteburgh, ‘Fort Wayne & Chicago havelong been taking pas- sengers anywhere from the west and southwest; anincreasedservice on theirdummy-lineisalready established, which land passengers on Madison streot. All theso trains in operation would leave our South Side residents only the disability of reaching some one or the other of these lines. Their city termini are certainly convenient. The West Side, wide-spread as it is, is less well sup- plied, but it is crossed at Sixteenth street and Kinzie strest, respectively, by the lines of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and the Chi- cago & Northwestefn, and, by temporary ar- rangements, the traina of these roads could take up passengers ab street-crossings, and serve & very dense residence section this side of ‘Western' avenue. The Milwaukee Division of the Chicago & Northwestern traverses the important sub- .urb of the Rolling Mills of the North Branch, and its measure of possible relief is not small. 1t is easy to striko out plans for railroad officers, but in this instance the euggestion has already been forestalled in some quarters. No other city 1as railway facilities so perfect as this radiation of our steam lines. It is fortunate in our emer- gency that it is 8o, for we must look to an in- terruption, of ten days' duration at the best, be- fore the horses come back to us with their ac- customed usofulness. Chicago has humanely adopted instant and general care of the sick horses and animals exposed. Let the locomo- motive now come to the rescu THE SECOND DISTRICT. The candidates for Congress in the Second District are Mr. Carter H. Harrison and Mr. J. D. Ward. The oldest inhabitant can hardly re- call the timo when Mr. Ward was not cither a candidate or an office-holder, and no man better than Mr. Ward can illustrate from his own his- tory tho rise and progress of parties. In 1854, Mr. Ward was a Democrat of the wildest kind, and, &s such, held a seat in the Common Coun- cil. The Democratic ascendancy in this city first gave way to the Know-Nothing party, led by Dr. Boone, Mr. Danenhower, Cyrus and Tim. Bradloy; and this party, in enforcing the Sun- day laws, plunged thecity into the riob of 1855. Mr. Ward was not long in getting on the strong side, and he =oon blossomed into n good, healthy Know-Nothing. The pest year, the Enow-Nothing party dis- solved, and Mr. Ward joined the Republicans, and was elected to the State Senate, whero his career, especially the latter part of it, was, to say the least, extremely unsatisfactory to his constituents. . Mr. Harrigon has been & citizen of Chicago for nearly twenty years, during whichtimehe has been an active and industrious citizen, exponding his capital in an earnest effort to build up the ‘West Division, and bring it to that high rank as a place of residence which it now enjoys. He purchased and improved large tracts of land; has largely 2dded to the wealth and prosperity of that Divieion by his own sagacity and in- dustry, and has never made a dollar by or through any office. During the lest year Mr. Harrison has served in the Board of County Commissioners to the great benefit of the county, and to the general satisfaction of every- body not interested in plundering the public. Both candidates are 50 wellknown that it is not necessary tomake specific allegations con- cerning either of them. But we ask the goodly and virtuons citizens of the West Division, which of the two they would soonest trust with tho management of their private business. If they wonld trust Mr. Ward rather than Mr. Har- rison, in such a case it is perfectly right that they should vote for him to take charge of their aggregate interosts in Congress. If they would prefer Mr. Harrigon as a safe custodian of their property and their honor, then they should vote forhim, The time for carrying on the war end frecing the blacks has gone by. The blacks be- ing freo enough to mob our city police, their rights may be deemed secure. Let every msn apply tho test we have named, and Mr. Harrigon will assuredly be elected. 1 POLITICAL At special election in Georgis, Oct. 29, to Il the seat in Congress, vice Speer, Republican, de- ceased, Colonel E. W. Beck, of Griffin, Liberal Democrat, had a large majority. —Captain R. M. Brown has withdrawn from the Congressional race in the Tirst Mississippi District. and now supports the Hon. Lucius Q. C. Lamar, who etill rests under political disabil~ ities, and will be elected. —The Rev. Thomas K.

NOTES FROM THE CRIMINAL COURT. The Lax Administration of Jus- tice in Chicago. Work for Henry Greenebaum’s Com- mitlee. There is arule of the Criminal Conrt which requires all parties making application to bail out prisoners to make a schodule of their real and personal property. The record of the Criminal Court shows that Tip Farrell, & well- known confidence man and pickpocket, wasin- dicted last June for picking the pocket of a lady who fully identified him. When he was putin jail gll sorts of efforts were made to get him out on straw bail, but the Court refused to release him on the ground of the insufficiency of the ga- curity. When the case came up for trial, ono afternoon, before Judge Gery, Farrell produced 2 statement signed by Charles H. Reed, in which he said he would be eatisfied with Thomas 3. Thompeon and Benjamin M. Munn ad" surities for Farrell without making the usual statement required by the rule of the Court. The case came up for trizl three days afterwards, and Tip {failed to make his appearance. A scire facias was issued immediately, roturnable at the Au- gust term. It was not returned, and no steps have been taken to_collect the bail. The gurities are reputed to be worthless, Mr. Talcott, President of the Board of Police, heard of the circumstance, and_informed Mayor Me- dill of it, asserting thatit was useless for the police to mrest criminals if Charley Reed turned them out as fast as arrested. Mayor Medill wrote Mr. Reed a letter in regard to releasin; prigoners on straw bail, and Mr. Reed replie 1hat the rule of Court reriuiring & schedule of property was always complied with. The record ehows it i not. Appended is the record in Far- rell's case. *‘ Tip Farrell, larceny from the per- son, June 3, 1872, pleaded not guilty; bail fixed st $1,000. June 15, 1872, Benjamin M. Munn and Thomas M. Thompson sureties in $1,000 from day to day. June 18, 1872, recognizanco forfeited.” Why does Mr. Reed always accept Dan. Web- ster, & convicted counterfeiter, as surety on Dail bonds without requiring him to make & statement of his property ? Why has the case of Abraham 8. Robinson, indicted for larceny last December, been contin- ued from time to time, and now stands continued until the next term ? The record shows that Elijah Spencer was sr- rested for horse-stealing, and that Spencer was taken before Judge Jameson, in Decomber last, on & writ of habeas corpus. The evidence was 0 clear that the prisoner was held in $1,000 bail, which he was unable to give. He was in- dicted in January, and bail was taken on the 1ith of that month, his father giving bonds for his appearanco at the March term. On the 15th of DMarch, an en- try in tho record shows that tho cage wWas continued until the May term * by agreement.” On the 17th of June another entry shows that it was continued * by agreement ” until the July term, On the 10th of Ju]{ another entry shows that it was continued ‘by agreement™ to the September term. The caso has been continued “by agreement " aver since. The history of the case of —— Jones, which has already been briefly alluded to in a previous iseue of TE TRIBUNE, is a8 follows: In 1868, Jones waa arrested for forgery, end his bail fixed by Judge MecAlister at $2,000. It was rep- resented to the Judge that Jomes had £1,000 in cash ‘which he was willing to deposit as security for his appearance, but the Judge refused to accept Jess bail than ©2,000. Subsequently, Jailor Folz, who had never seen Jones until he was arrested, signed a bond for $2,000, and Jones was relensed from custody. _The bail, however, was afterwards declared forfeited and the case dismissed by the State's Attorney. At tho Soptember term, this_year, Charles Lotz was indicted for four forgeries, and plead- d guilty to the four indictments. Judge Gary +was determined to send him to the Penitentiary, 2nd would have done g0 had not Mr. Reed agreed to llow him to withdraw his pleas of guilty and enter the plea of not guilty. He escaped pun- ishment by so doing, but has since been sent to Joliet for committing two other forgeries. Tim Fuller and Dick Rainforth, who_ at- tempted to defraud the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company out of $15,000 b‘i‘ proving that Rainforth was dead, have been indicted five times since the fire_for couspiracy. They have not been prosecuted | George Hoyt was arrested in May last for the larceny of s horse. Samuel Hogt, bis father, had money bat no real estate, and, after an at~ tempt to secure Goorge's release on straw bail had failed, deposited 8500 with Mr. Reed 28 col- lateral security for the n.pg:’muce of his son to anawer the charge of *driving awsy & horse,” 28 appears by the following receipt : RECEIVED, May 31, 1872, of Samuel Hot, Esq., five B ealines s ¥ dupeaty and socany’ of Bl Tor the appearance of George Hoyt before the Criminal Court of Cook County, to snswer o the 1awfully driving awsy 8 horse, In case eai Hoyt appears and answers to the sad_charge, snid money 18 to be_returned to said Samuel Hoyt. Signed, Cranves ReED, State’s Attornes, The case has been continued from term tfo term—from June to July, July to September, September to October, aud from October unti thenext term. On the 4th of May, 1872, several indictments sgninst Aldermen were dismissed. The State's Attorney was particularly anxious that the ro- ‘porters of the newspapers should be present and ive the public his reasons for dismissing the indictments. No reason was given for dismiss- ing the indictment against Alderman J. J. M- Grath, now candidate for State Senator, for tak- ing a bribe from Dr. Dyer, but the record shows that it was dismissed. CHICAGO, YWhat Mr. James T. Fields Suw Daring His Recent Visit to this City. M. J. T. Fields, who has just returned to Boston from his first visit to the West, gave his new lecture on ‘‘Masters of theSituation” in Cambridge, Mass., on Tuesdsy evening lastat the Dowso Institute. The following reference in it to what he witnessed in Chicago will inter- est every ono: ; Afew hours ngo I stood for the first timo in the great City of Chicago, amazed at the speotacle before e, 1 had read, o8 we all had, how Just one year ago that noblo meropolis of the West liad been mown dovn, 2 by 8 scythe of fire, and all of us hnd shudder- ed 8t the tale of horror as Telated by eye-witnesses on thespot.

DARLINGTON, Wis., Oct, 31, 1872, o the Editor of The Clicago Trivune: Sm: John M. Rountreo, candidate for Repre- sentative from your Sixth District, resided at Platteville, in Grant County, Wisconsin, until after our general election in 1871, which oc- oured Nov.7. Although previous to that time he resided in Chicago, for more than one year, immediately preceding that time he resided at Platteville, and claimed that to be his residence. At the election of Nov. 7, 1871, he was Demo- cratic candidate for our State Assembly.n the Platteville district, and was defeated. If I am right in assuming that one year's residence in Dlinois is an essential gualification for an elec~ tor, of conrso it follows Mr. Rountree is not an elector in Illinois, and not_eligible to the office he is candidate for. He doubtless claims his gojowrn in_ Wisconsin temporary, and with no intent to gain 2 residence or:l;g his residence in Illinois, But his Mceptnnc*!;_vf the candidacy for Assembly, and voting here, as he most un- uestionably did, conclusively rebuts _his theory. By reference to page 148 of the Wis- consin Legielative Manual for 1872, you will see he was a candidate for memberas I state, and also tie vote he received. The date of his con- version to Grantism I am unable to give. Very truly yours, LiBERAL. A QUEER CASE IN THE TENTH WARD. The candidates for Alderman in the Tenth Ward are C. C. P. Holden and David W. Clark, Jr, Mr. Clark, a8 we are credibly informed, has ap- plied to the Liquor League of thia city to be adopted by them as their candidate. To obtain this indorsement he was required to pledge him- gelf to carry ont the wishes and purposes of the League, compoged of over 3,000 persons engaged. in the liquor trade. TUpon this pleflgff he was nominated by the League as_their candidate for Aldermen in the Tenth Ward. At least, thatis the understanding the leaders of the League have of the matter. In the meantime the Tem- perance organization had appointed & com- mittes, consisting of the veteran temperance man, Michael McAuley, Esq., to visit both Clarkand Holden, to koot how they stood on the liquor question. Ar. Holden refused to make any pledges to any person, butMr. Clark author- ized Mr. McAuley to assure the Temperance organization that he, Clark, was not only in favor of enforcing the exisiing 12w, but, if elect- ed Alderman, would vote for still more stringent Bunday laws. The truth of this is attested b the sworn statement of Mr. McAuley, as fol- lows: State of Itinois, County of Cook : Michael McAuloy being duly sworn, upon his oath says : That taking a great intereat in the pending tem-~ perance movement, and being a resident of the Tenth Ward of this city, be called upon the two candidates for Aldermen in said Ward, viz, ; C, C.

M'AULEY. - Tn addition to the above document, we have received the following letter from Mr. Mc- Auley: FOUND—A SNALL POLITICIAY WHO CAN EERVE GOD AND MAMMON. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: - Sir: Asan old citizen, a Jaw-and-order-man, and & tax-poyer, for many years, I have taken a greatin- torest 1n the present movement in regard to_closing the ealoons on tho Sabbath day, and being s citizen of the Tenth Ward, I mado it my business to call on the two candidates for Alderman, in said ward, I first called upon C, C. P. Holden, and asked him how he stood on the temperance question, and would he fa- vors repeal of the Sunday law, if elected. Ho did not malic me any promises, but referred me to his record on this subject, when it cume up before the Council 'two years _ago, I then called on D. W, Olark, dr, the candidate for Alderman on the Grant ticket. 1'did not bappen to find him at home, but he called on me last Sunday, and I prapounded the same_question to him, He unhesitatingly snswered me that he was infavor of eaforcing the laws as they now stood, and, if an oppor- ‘tunity was offered him, he would gladly vote to maka them more stringent’; and said if he never got office until o bartered his Principles to tho rum-sellers, then ‘he would never be Alderman of the Tenth Ward or any other ward in this city. So I conciuded the Tenth ‘Ward waa safe for Inw and order, and felt happy. But judge of my surprie, 3 doy oOr two Bg( ‘on Jearning that this samo D, W, Clark, Jr., pledge Limeelf to the whiskey league. If they would only help to elect him. Lo would use all his official power and strain evory nerve to have this obnoxions law repealed. Now, 1 will leave it to the citizens of the Tenth Ward to choose between an old and faithful servant—C. C. P. Holden, who has served the tax-payers of the Tenth Ward for tho past twelve years—and this political acrobat, who can ride the {emperance horse and tho ‘whiskey mule at the same time, David, the way of the transgressor is hard, and for your violation of truth, bave in a good stock of fresh water, lager, or whiskey. foa the Moral-Reformers of the Tenth Ward intend eending you up Salt Creek, MCAULEY.

On Friday night last he applied for his “‘second papers,” and Judge Tree passed him. Upon looking over the papers in the Recorder's office, it was dwscovered by one of the clerks that1871had been changed to 1870. Moldenhauer was at once arrested and taken before Judge Tree. He stated that he had received & card from Mr. Senne, cendidate for the Legislature on the Grant ticket, and visited the Clerk of the Cir- cuit Court_to J;at his full gnpera. ‘They were examined, and not having beon in his posses- yion two years as the law _requires, were rejected. Whilein the room he “met & man he never saw before,” who told him he could meke the papers two years old by chang- ing the m&) 10 187(0), and could get his sccond popers at the Criminal Court. He made the alteration. In reply to a question as to where be procured the pen and ink, he said at Greene- baum’s hardware store. The Judge, believing that tho man who_instructed Moldenhauer was more guilty than he, released him with an ad- monition, declining to issue his ‘second pepers," and ordering that the forged paper Te- Toain in the hands of the Clerk of the Court, and that & paper showing the grnper date of his declaration of intention to become & citizen be issued to him, S THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, A meeting of the Library Board was held yes- terday afternoon.
