The Board of County Commissioners are just now engeged in Lhe connideration of (1o roport of the Commitico on Public Servico (Mossrs. Crawford, Jones, and Herting), appointed to ex- amine into the subject of tho compensation to bo fixed for the numerous county employes who zow, for the frst time, under tho new law, aro to look to Cook County for their pay, and not, as formerly, to the various heads of departmonts, 10 whom tho offices woro farmod out on the foe system., Tho natural presumption would bo that, innemuch a8 overy county ofilcinl hins here- tofore managod to get rich out of tho fces of his oilico, the county, when in yecolptot the ontire amount of thogo foos,—though they bave boen elightly reduced in somo cages,—ought ab Jeast to como out ovon, and mansgo its nffairs without on extra tax- lovy tomakoup tho deflcioncy. But it appoars thal tho tax-payers aro to enjoy no such good luck, judging from tho rocklossness with which the Commissionors aro disposed to voto nwey ‘their money. It now appoesrs that tho appoint- -ment of a Committeo on Publio Borvico was on- tiraly superfluous, as in evory case timt Oom- mitteo bag accopted and indorsed thoe idons of tho various officials on tho oubject of eslarics, leaving the Board and the public no wiser than boforo ns to tho renl merits of tho cnse. Tho procecdings of the Board lavo domonstrated & ‘Plontiful lack of information in thoso important ‘mirttors, and 1t is with o view to supplylng the deflcloncy that Tre TurnoNe takes tho pains to gather and Iny boforo its ronders many intorest- ing and cosentinl faets beariiig upon the ques- tion. BECORDER'S OFFICE, In providing fat places for favorites ab tho ox- peneo of tho people of Cook County, the Rte- .cordor of Deeds desorvos to woar tho champion bolt, That individual seoms {o regard tho po- sition of Recorder as & grand prizo drawnina lottery, involving the distribution of minor gifts ‘to his frionds, His own salary is fixed by law at 93,000 por nunum, to enrn which ho signs bis namo perhaps 200 times a day, or perbaps he .doean't sign it at all, just a8 he happons to feol. .As his nawe containg threo words, ho writes, at theutmost, six folios ench day,and recoives 310 for {it. Ho Lns littlo elso to do, for the county kind- 1y furnishes him with clerke to attend to the man- agement of the ofiice. Whon tho Committeo on Public Bervice called upon Mr. Btewart for a list of clerks and salaries in his oftice, ho furnished them with o magnificent list. His Chiof Clerk 2nd Cashier, boing & mighty’good fellow, you know,—though his duties simply consist in standiug st a window and réceiving tho instruments as thoy are brought in for rocord, snd in taking the money and making change,— should havo §2,500 » year, and tho Committao ortlessly aesonted to it. The Board, in Commit- tea of the Whole, cut it down to £3,400, which {s at least 8600 too much, as the Ohiof Olork, aeido from the knack of ostimatiug the numborof folios in an iustrament, which ought tobo picked up in & wools, but which e hasnot picked up yet, onlyneeds to know how to makoe change properly. Ho haeno financial responsibility, na the Recorder rolieves him each doy of the monoy on bind, The amount pald to his prodecessor, who passed out agwell ns took in the instru- zcents, was 81,800 for tho last yeur of Lis service, aud ho considered it ample. It ought to bo 8o «coi:siderod now. For tho Assistant Chiof Olork and Cashior, Mr. Stewart and the Committee recommonded 81,600. All this officis]l has to do I8 to roturn to the owners the instruments that havo been re- corded. The decds, mortgages, eto,, after com~ ing back from the hunds of the follo writers, aro put awey in lottered pigeon-holes, and & boy 15 years old, who could read writing, would bo porfectly competent to act as ** Assistant Chiof Olork and Cashier.” Under Mr, Gassetto this- ofiiciel was paid 16 per week, or 9780 per yoar, 4nd ho porformed more duties than aro oxnoted of tho progent inoumbent, who finds time, in rddition to his regular duties, to do oxtra work for the County Clerk and City Colleotor, from swhich sorvices ho rocolves extra componsation to the nmount of sbout 3750 & yoar. An ontiroly new official has been oreated 1 this deparimont, go that thero are now three men to do the work which two did befora Mr. Stewart's time. For this now ofticial, 81,500 is proposed to be voted—too much by at least 3800, 28 nothing boyond ordinary clorical ability is ro- quired. This work was formerly dome by tho Chiof Clerk’s aspistant, and should bo done now by bim. 3 “Ancthor entlroly new position hos boon manu- factured by Mr. Stowart—thet of Superintendent of the Folio Room, for whom the princoly salaty of $2,000 was recommondod, This functionary takes churgo of the instruments, distributes them smong the folio writors, sud sces that thoy aro transcribed upon the proper form books. Noth- iog moro. This is an important position, it proparly filled, and should command a nlary of shout $1,500, as it roquires an oxtended experi- onco to becomo familiar with the differcut forms.

Undor tho now Inw, the Judges of {ho Cireuit Court dotormine the number of omployes in the county oftices, nnd the Conmis- sloners fix tho slarfos. Upon information and advico furnished by the ratiring Recorder, tho Judgon fixed the numbor of salaried clorls at 18, and tho folio writers at 30. On his own responsibility, Mr. Stowart bas increased tho forco of follo writers {o 40, with the vesylts o4 abovo slated. A day or two ago the division of Inbor in the folio room gave to tho folio writors for thoir day's work cleven folios cach, amonnting to 44 conty por writer, ‘This was an oxcoptlonally low nmonnt, bnt it 58 pafo to osti= mate that at'this season of tho yenvn forco of twonty folio writors would bo nm,vlu to_ do tho worlk, Thoro are now employed in the folio de- partment seventoon femalo clerks, tho majority of whom write a good hand and spell their words correctly, but mnany of the malo clorha nre ignorant, IJl\mdm’lng‘ follows, who aro: alike do- ficlont 1n_penmanaliip and or(hography.

Enough has boen oited in this nrticlo to show tho Board of Commissioners many things of which thoy have boon kopt in iguorance throngh the sell-intorost of the partiea” porsonally: can- cerned in their action. Nothing but faots have boon_stated horo, hut they wro fasts which should command {ho attoutfon of our cousty loglalators, BHERIFE'S OFFICE, In this branch of+the County Govornment #omo vory lnrgo estlmates of componsation have beon recommeonded to the Bonrd, 1'ho salary of tho Bherif s fixed by law at 26,000, whilo thoso of bis aubordiuates must be determined by the Commissiongra, The Committeo on Public Sor- vico, taking Mr. Bradloy's word for ovorything, and, without posting themselves in tho mattor, recommended six Doputics at 82,500 each. The ' Board, in Committee of the Whole, cut this down to 81,800, which, according to tho subsoguont admission of Mr. Dradley, in roply to corlain shrewd interrogatories by Commissioner larri- son,jarathorabovo tho sveragenmounts carned by thio Doputios, under thie old_systom of a division of tio foos, {ho Shorif? taking onc-half. Tnes- much as somo of the Deputics aro obliged to keop o horso and bll%gy and must give o bond of 10,000, it io not 1 knfy that tho salary agreed upon will bo docreased. In connidoring the question of the compensa- tion of the Doputies whose service is restricted to tho remote county towns, the Committoe on Public Sorvico complatoly transcended the idoas of Shertff Bradloy, whose cstlmato thoy more thau doubled. 'ThLey alio oxceedad by €600 his ostimiato for the snlary of tho Jnilor, bosides pro- viding, at an oxpenso of £1,200, for two juil om- ployed, of whoso eorvices the Bheriif had no nead, and for which ho did not asl. ‘Ihoso factn subscquently leaked ont, greatly to the embar- rasement of Messrs, Crawford, Jones, and Hert-~ ing, who blushed painfully at the oxposuro. 1t cannot Lo positivoly stzted that Commissionor Jonca blushed, but he cortainly looked wheepish, Tho Board has partially determined vo tho Jailor $2,400, whioh is too much by at Jeast 8600, Bheriif Bradley, to tho contrary nobwithatanding, thors are ai least twonty mon on the Chicago polico forco who would malko bot~ tor jaflors, in_point of intollizonce, honesty, humanity, and phbysical capacity, than Conrs: Folz, If tho cutting down of thesnlary involves tho rosignation of Yolz, for the sako of decency et it be cut down at once. Cook County can spore him. The ligt of salaries in theBherifl’s oflico will doubtless receivo n thorough ovorbaul- ing beforo the Bonrd gots through with it CIRQUIT OLERR'S OFFICE, For the Cireuit Clerk's oftice, tho moat liboral ‘provislon was originally mada by the Commitioe, Sho unhesitatingly recommended tho salories ngked by the Qirouit Clork, who subsoquontly stated to tho Doard that tho amounts named wore no higher thau ho would have been willing to pay-if ho were to run the oftice under tho feo system. Wo aro obliged to tako Mr, Gross' word for that, although it in_oxtremoly doubtful wheother he would boso liberal if the money camo out of his own pocket. It isn't tho way of tho world. Dub Mr. Gross suggosted, ond tho obliging Comniitteo agreed, thit thoro khould b a Clief OClerk, on & salary of 82,600—* $1,600 loss,” says Mr. Gross, *than my prodecossor aid his Obio?

And snother imporlant fack was overlooked, wiz.: that the now law contemplatos that Mr. Gross shall be tho Circuit Clerk, shall dischargo tho dutics of thsb‘POBiHon, and shell not bo ro- lioved of thoso duties by » high-priced chiof clorls, to bo paid by tho county. 1f Bfr. Gross fa & compotont men—and if ho 48 not ho should be turned out of tho ofice—No ought to bo required to be his own chiof clork, 04 save to tho county ho £2,400 agreed upon b{ tho Board of Commissionors, The ilem of chief clork should bo stricken out mliogether, Jeaving tho Clrcuit Clorls & compotent agsistant at tho salary named, 1,800, Tho two common apd chancory law record writora for the Circuit Court aro, dpmlmmy, worthy of the compensation agroed upon,— £1,800 & yoar oach,—as their dutica arolaborious, and roquiro long éxporionco.

According to tho conclusion renchod by tho Commissioners in Committco of tho Wholo, the oftico of Aspistant Coronor is to be created, with mondod. Mr, Gaesette paid this man 318 por weelt, but as his duties did not consume all of his time, ho made extra wages by writing folios. Ho should recolve nlbout $300. "Tho item of ** Uuco Indox alorke, $1,200 por goar,” it foir, sod suould bo allowsd, 80 far a8 wo of tho clorks aro concorned, The third, who docs tho paging, should not receive over 8900, For compntora—they Who comparc tho jue strument with its transeription on tho record— douhlo tho numbor found neceasary by Mr. Qassotto havo beon provided for, The reason of this 38 that Mr. Stewart doos pob reqniro tho folio-writer to ugsiet in the cowparing, 88 Mr. Gaereito and his prodecossors, and 8o, of couras, two extra comparors aro {o- ho employed. This would ba wholly unnecexary it proper caro woro taken to employ momo Lut intelligent follo writers. Mr. Gapsette omployod but ono regu- Jar comparor, thongh hie_{requontly had to have pesistance. If such folio writer ia required to halp comparo hia own work,—which ho can bot- = for than ever do at tho incrensed componaation, —two competont comparers aro enough to do thowork, It is bard viork, roquiring grent ace curacy and rapidily, and 4o good imen should reccivo 91,200 each. % Tho map clorl, whose duty it is to transeribo {ho maps and F\m upon tho record, aud who must bo o skilful, accuralo draughtsman, waa tecommonded 10 veceive ©1,600, o sum really too emall for the amount and character of the 6orvico required, In the mattor of tho rato proposed to be al- Jowed folio writors, the poople of Cook County will probably not find fault with iho Toard for favoring 4 vonts por folio, inasmuch as, at this rato, it takes ton solid fiours of unremittin work—irksomo, fatiguing, braln-woarying worl ~to earn 84, Herstofore folio writers have been undorpatd, A repid pemman could not earn onough to support o family without work- ing fourteen hours & day, It' ghould slso be borne in mind that, under Mr. Btewart's rule, tho folio writor is' allowed to'work but olght hours & day, 8o that ho I8 not privileged to put in extrn timo, s ho conld formorly do. Tho troublo seoms to be that Mr. Slowart hes tao many frionds to reward, ‘Iho small pot-honso yull:{chns, Lo allegos, bave forcod upon him a % walary of 1,200, though Jaok Btophons, in tho fulnoss of hia hoart toward Dr. Dunn, whom ko Lad in view for the appointment, peraunded thu Committee to rocommend 2,000, ‘This was piling. it on rathar thick, in visw of tho fact thnt the Coroner very raroly Las occanion foran aesiatant— probably not oo dny out of six, if tho Coronor attendato his businees, which the county pays kimhandsomoly for dnlnf). It would havo boen en olegant borth for Dr, Dunn at $3,000; it is all clear gain at §1,200; it wonld bo worth any man's boving at 8600. Probably the Commis- sioners will seo §t iu this light, and cut it to that figuro—posaibly dispense with it altogathor, DI, BEN. MILLER Tho salary (as,onaz ‘proposod to bo paid to Dr. Ben. Miller, Superintondont of Publio Oharities, isnot & cent too high. Dr., Biller has douo moro then to fill tho position ; he haa created it, and he haw disoharged its orerous aud yezponsis blo duties to the entire satisfaction of the peo- plo of Cook County, Bucha laboror is worthy of bLis hiro. THE COUNTY AGENT. It is genorally ostimutod that tho Board hos ot been far wrong in votiug 62,500 to the Coun- ty Agent, whose large disbursemonts of reliof to tho poor involyve groat Jabor nud responsibility, togethior with oxecutlvo ability of no mean ordor.

THE DESTROYED CHURCH. ‘Tho Scono of Thuraday Nizht’s Conflagra~ tion Visited by Thousauds Yasterday. Arrangoments Mado for tho Burat-Out Congrogas flon fo.Worship In tho American Reformod Chureh. Tho most popular place in tho city, yestorday, was tho nouthwest cornor of Washington and Ann atroots, whoroon stand tho ruins of the TFirst Congrogatlonal Oburch. Thoywore viaited by citizons from all parta of the city, as woll ns Dy strangers from tho various hotels. Itls necd- loss, porheps, to atato that onch visitor earried nway an original theory n8 to how the firo might liavo boen prevented, and what uso may bo mado of tho walls loft standing. Tho ruins wora yob smoking, and in somo placea littlo tongues of flamo woro taking thoir laat lick upon a splintor or a bonrd loft ovor from tho liot menl of the night bofore. Tho walls woro bristling with drapery of ico, and long, irrogular feclos hung pendant from the arches of the doors nnd windows and cap- ptones of the walls, If tho dsy had been one of sunshine, doubtless tho effect produced by tho rays falling upon tho frosted walls, wouwld Lmvo boon brilliant in tho oxtreme. Buttho eldlon being dntk nnd gloomy, With now and thon o fall of snow, the naked walls prosented no ohoorfnl aspeot, and the thoughts they suggest- od partook of tho charactor of the day. Of courso, ovory visitor moralized. Moralizing over firo-ruing is quile as common 28 eating and driuking at & dinnor-tablo, But hord was o knotty subject. Itwas very oansy to sco whyn snloon or legislative hall should be destroyod, but it wes a difficult thiug to discovor why the destruction of a church should bo pormitted. Dark ways, and waya past fluding out, ware suggested, ond nota- sal and unnatural laws, but, after honring in- numerabla thoories, tho reportor concluded that tho moat plausiblo theory rogarding the mattor an givon in Tus ‘TRIBUNE yostorday morning. ' Tho cauee thero atated was reasonablo and true, and no sdditional facts rogerding the origin of tho fire woro dovolopod yostordoy. A mooting of tho Trustoos of the Clurch was Jiold ostorday morning at tho houso of Mr. 1L 7. Culvor. A Committoo, consinting of Mr. C. H.
