They left tho Board raom about £ o'clock in the evening, after Feceiving their firial whispered —instructions.

The Aayos wil | consider the lotter; ‘tarefully, before ac’ing apon it. 2 3 THE MAYOR'S:STAFP. - . Between 12 2'ad 1 o'clock, Officers Silver, PBrowne, Elsss, a'nd Cwaningham, of the Mayor's staff, wero notiffed by, His Honor to distxibute among the members o’7 the polico force printed copiea of the mation issued yesterday, flfiifls upon them to _obey the crders of Elmer! Wasliburn, Ganoral Buperintendent of Polico. They served thedocu ment on the Central Btation. officers, and then prv icoeded to the precincts. In.| taking round the o ders thay met with varying | success: They all reported "that they' foun scarcely any officer’ 3 on beat, and very_ fow at the stations. Then > were only four policemen ¢ Cottago Grove av -enn, two at Deering street, three ‘at Twenty & >cond street, and twolvo at Hameon etreet. 4 Jne officer met eight men in eight miles . Another found - bmt ope on Madisoy 1 stroet. . Some of tho inferiors Were es jocially. ingolent, - Detectiva Simmons more th an any. Several Bergeants were ready to obeyt tho orders from the Chief— smong them Sorges nts O'Danvell, Lull, Hoo Moore, Douglass, B iscoe, and Fox. These expressed themselve 8 roady to yicld ‘allegiance to the Mayor of the city. Several of them took & nomber of the prin ted orders, poated” thom in conspicuous places in the mtations, and gave them to the men. 1 'he Madison Street Station ‘was the most rebell ‘ons. Sergeant Garrity re- fused to give any sz 1swer. The men were loud in dorision, and " turb‘ulent. This is reported ss the worst place iu 4he ) City. TST CAPTAINS. It was s difficnlEn atter to hand the order of the Mayor tothe .7aptains of Police. They would not accept then. * from any recognized offi- zor of the Bonrd, and ervice had to be obtainod by strategy. Ar. White' pocketed half s dozen of tho. printed notices, .and casnally happened into tha Becretary’s room, Where Captains Gund and French were . talking. “* Here 18 something. for you, Captain French,” naid Mr. White, as he elipped’ n copy into tho officar’s hand, and the Captain unfoldi:d it. Bofare the other Captain could learn whedt it was, Mr. White fornishod him with & copy. And the-iwo mutinous officers were 8erved. ‘Tcy_supply Csptain Hickey was & different thing. Afr. White enclosed & copy in 5D envelope bea ring the city stemp, and forward- ed it by mail. C riicer Silvor waited af the station until the note # yrived. The Captain innocently broke theeeal , andread ‘the ordorin Silvers ‘presence. WALX U 2 TO THE CAPTAIN'S OFFICE. The Mayor ' 3ad determined to test the fealty af the Police (Captains, and talegraphed round to tho three dis frict stations an order to them to repott tohin 2 at 4 o'cloclk, ‘To this order they paid 70 stter ation, either from failurs to receiva the dospatel 4, throngh muticous conduct on be- balf of the T mtrolmen orstation-keepers, or some other reaso: x. The Captains were sll at head- quarters du ring the afternoon, but failed to re- &“{' tothe Liayor. Ti:at thereshould be 0o mis- ko h—dl:}um Mayor 1nas directed a letter to each Capthin, ordering him to roport &b 10 o'clock, angd intimating that & failare to obey would be rpgarded as insub ordination. A wpz of this letter was placed in tho hands of e Captain, last evening. This norning will show the result. : THAT THE MUTINOUS POLICEMEN may know where they stand, it ma'y be refresh- ing to those gantlemen to lexrn that no officer who disobeys the orders of his_supatior in this case will recoive sny pay. Neither ¢he Mayor oor the Comptrolier . will countersign .any order for their pay g0 long as they hold the wrders of their superior in contetapt. ~ No order dravwn by the Board of Police subsequent to the rawoval of Commissioners - Reno and_Klokke il -be {Iunflad. They will bo troated as of no imper- auce. “ The police force bas befors it an opportunity’ to show its_intelligence. - There ars two com- wanding officers, Aayor Medill and the defanct Board of Police. If they obey %he Board, the Maypr will remove tnem; iftthey obey the Magor, they esy, the Board will |remove them. ut the Mayor's removal is sums .~ A mere notification decapitates them and cats off their Ppay; the Board caa only proceed\ by trial, and tannot act inside of six months{in case thoy Pproceed at all. A LEGAL ASPECT. Receiving an intimation that the parties inter- ssted in the police war might be compelled to bave reconrse ta the Conrts, his peculiar charge, the law reporter at once waitedton Messre. Bheridan_and Klokke. Tho Iatter. gentlgman Wes engaged in earnest congratulstion with & seedy-looking fellow who sppeared tosbe button- boling. ‘the defiant ex-Commiesioner, much to the :vexstion of the -latter;” 8o .the reporter quietly elipped & ckair between the geniuses of the press who neardy sur- rounded Mr. Sheridan, and sst besido that gentleman's right ear in. euch a manner as fo converse with freodom, whilst at the szme time~ inspecting the actions of tho inquisitivo listeu- ers around, and interposing the dosk between Sheridan and them, on the oz side, and his body- on tho other. Ho informod Mr. Shoridan that Lo bind learned they were about to obtain an in- junction against somebody or o.ber. Mr. 8. gazed at his interlocutor in stupefac- tion. He quite clealy had heard the news for. the firet timo, and said s0. 5 The visitor then askod him plump and' plain what he was going to do. Ar. 8. wasnot a little bird, to ba canght by placing an ounce of salt on his tail. ‘The question was asked whether it was truo that the Commissioners were in treaty with the Mayor to send a caso to tho Supreme Court. * Mr. 8. was a poor hand ab law businoss. Would call Mr. Klokke. 20r. Sheridan and Mr. Klokke eat down in the furthest comer, where nobody could gt within at least five fest of them. Then Mr. B. rose, leaving Mr. K. sitting down, expoctantly waiting for his questioner. Thiolimb of the law advanced ‘and sat down, on the outside, ehielding 3ir. K. from the Listeners. Without losing time, 3ir. K. spoke freely and fully. He anid that tho Comimicsioners had no desire to ficht with the-Mayor, nor to turn tho affairs of the ontiro department upsido down, but they wero disposed {o do all in their power to find & medium course that might lead to peace and quietncss.

With a recommondation that. it bo.adopted, on tho constitutional ground: that- printing should bo in English only. 3r.

Morrison ealled upon the Mayor, and told him that, if it wes ey source of gratification, they would inform him that he had tho support of every decent citizen, avho applanded his sction, and looked to him to maintain the authority which he undoubtedly possessed. Mr. Morrison said the police forco had bonsted that they had him in their power. The Mayor replied that he had yot to leern that he was in the power of the police forca, If ‘they hed him'in their power, hs would ek no ‘mercy or clemency from them, but Lo scarcely Tecognized himself in that position yot. JOEN B. DRAKE, proprictor of the Tremont House, yesterdsy came down £o a0 the Masor, and not finding him in, left word that ho would do patrol duty if it was necessary in dofenco of good ordor, and in support of the Mayor's suthority. BOARD OF TRADE. Tho members of the Board of Trade yesterday evinced their appraciation of the present efforta of tho Meyor to rid the city of a nuisence. Mr. N. K. Fairbank proposed the following resolu- tion, which was roceived with a yell of #pproval by the membera: esoloed, Tuat this Board beartily indoree the action of Mayor Medill in the removal of- tho Palico Commis- pioners Klokke and Reno, znd tho sustaining of Super- intendens Washbura. ‘Resoloed, That this Board arnestly requost the Leg~ salature to abolish tho Board of Polico Comumissioners st once. - A vote will be taken to-day. A WORD TO TilE MAYOR, T the Editor of The Chdcago Lribune ; A criais has arrived in the sfaira of the city, which émands the moet resoluto action. The Msyor, as the head of the City Government, hat s Yery simple daty %o perform, which will st onco “bring order out of chaos,” Every Captain'of the bresent police should b promptly removed for insubordination. And not one of them, who baa recognized_the bogus authority of the Polico Commiesioners, should over be rasto: It s unqaesticnabls the duty of tho Ioayor, 10 vindicate his authority in the fallest manner possi- Dlo, and to this end, ho need 5ot bo over careful swhere o tresds] Thero i8 no other way of restoring order 10 the city. Half measures are worse thzn none at all, Let thers be no compromise whatever with the Board. of Polic Comissionere, They have justiy renderod {hemuelves contomptible 1n tho e5es of the wLole com- munity. Nothing short of the entire abolition of this ard, will over givo_satisfacHon to the people, Itis an inchbus and o curme to the clty. It bas never se- complished any good, but on the contrary, haa been the means of accomplishing a ¥ast amount of evil. Ttisa “ stenchin tho nostrils ¥ of the people, and should bo thrust out of sight in the shortest possible eriod. I3 prescat sssumption of authority is simply fadicrous, or st least world ke so, werodt not for the demoralizing influences which it inay exert upon the present police. But this demoralization must be Bpeodily citeckad. In view of thoitustion the Masor has no alierna- tive, Homuststand by the city, znd its citizens will, with overwhelming force, etand by him, ‘Wo canpot wait for the sottlement of legal questions —the differences between “(weedlo dum? and "‘I.:ud‘adurge‘.n like this, the Msyor, supported a1 an emergency like this, the Mayor, suppo Dp 15 by nine-tentha of the poople, may eafely do what' ever he decma essential to the security of the city.

BPRINGFIELD, Jan. 80.—The suspension of the Board of Polico by Mayor Medill meets with ‘almost unanimous approval of the Cook County wea already done. The report, which was ingeni- ous but longsome, was signed by Mesurs. Roun- treo and Goldon. Mr. Rountree desired to huve 1,600 copies of both roports printad, and have them made the special ordor for Thursday, Mr. Dunbam did not seo the . propricty of priuting. Tho majority: hiad statad 8 naked couclusion whils the minority went to work and_claborete: 2 logal opinion, which was read to tho House, and that was all of it the Honso wanted. Mr. Moore, of Adems, did not seo tho uso of Wasting elo- quence on the subject, and was opposed to printing. They lad’ a eorfeit of it . Dunham moved to lay the matter to print on tho tablo. The motion prevailed, 100 to 27. Mr. Wicker stood up for the English tonguo. Ho thought jt was a good enough langusgo tor most ausbody. . Mz, Hay destrod to Teport Lack the resolution directing tho publication of Gov- ernor Oglosby's inangural in German, Nor- wogian, snd Danish, with & recommendation that it be not concurred in. M. Scanlan had 8 +supremo coptempt” for all those languages. Whero:. would the thing stop? oy should put in French, Bohemian, Irish, Coptic, and all the_langugges provalant in tho Tower of Babel. He had n Chinaman in his dis- trict who desired the meseages in tho vernaculer of Confucius ; why not? 3Ir. Oberly mado humorous speach against printing, and ridicnled the idoa that infromation conid_be conveyed by pflutiniin foroign tongues. He thought ihere should ed citizens. Mr. Shaw went throngh the minor- ity report. Ho contended that tho precedonts cited amounted to nothing ; that tho Constitu- tional Conventions iero = bupromo. bodics, and. mot . bousd by, the . instrament created. If tho. Goneral . Assomblies did wrong, it was no justification of wrong doing on their part. Tho printing contract waa to print in English, and tho printer had no right to print in any othor langusge. Mr. Dunham mado s strong argument somewhat_in the mamo_straln 23 Mr. Shaw. He ehowed that whero tho lan- guage was clear contemporaneous constrcution was of no consequence. % am denouncoed peoderiag to tho foreign, conatitnenta of mem- rs, Ar. Thomas, of St. Clair, would not go beck on the fathers, said fathers having printod in foreign languages for 20 years. Mr, Rountres reiteratad the argument of the_ minority report. Do mefority Teport wes adopied by 68 to 43 in favor of the English language only. The Tesolution ordering the printing in foreign Jan- ages etands rescinded, but the printing hes been done, Tho entiro session was consumed in the discussion. % OINEBR NEW BILLS. Scnator Kehoo introduced a bill to entirely ropeal tho law confirming additionul powers_on Mayors, commonly kuown as * Mayor Medill's Lill;” Senator Wilcox, making State's Attorneys connsel. to County Boards, excopt in_Cook County ; Sonator Yager, making th ealaries of Judges of inferior courts of record in towns and citios payable out of tho State Trensury instesd of out, of the municipal Treasury; Benator ' Hempton, prohibiting ~* tho *_eale of Lquor within fwo milea’ of Camp ‘meetings. .The bill as drawn includes churches, and is tantamount to a prohibitory law.

The Railroad Committees bave accomplished nothing yet, and if thoy koop on as thoy have Eegun thoy will do nothing at all. Men Are be- ginning to inquire whet Las become of the, com- mittess, and especially of tho Cheirmen, as thoy are not here. RIVER DMPROVEMENT. The Canal Committoo are beginni of introducing & bill appropriating 225 S oprovement, of tho. linois Hiver- slow going committeo and takes o long time to arrive at & conclusion.

No ‘beggar is to enter & private honeo without leave, or o public house after being denied admission, This should bring down s lobby of beggars, they can beg froo ride, beg thoir living while hers and by & uritod effort beg Mr. McAdams to with- draw his bill. THE PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE WEST SIDE PARE LAF. E The West Side Park bill doss not meot with much favor from the Cook County delegation, and, if pussed st all, about which there is con-: sidorablo donbt, it will only bo after material modification. The firat section of the bill is the same as the first section of the existing law, except that the limitation of the tax to 80,0004 year is omitted. The omission is important, how- Jyer. Bection 2.is & copy of tho present law. Section 3is new, and empowers the town au- thorities to construct sewers and improve boule- ards, tho money to bo rafsed ander Articlo 9 o tho General Incorporation Act, the same under which cities are..now acting. Bection 4 is like the present law, making the ‘Town Clerk, Bupervisor, and Assessor corporate suthorities of the town. ' Bections 5, 6, end 7 relate to tha construction of sewers and tho condsamnstion of 1and where necessary for that purpose. Bection 8iapew. It provides for the collection of zs- sessments within five years aftor being levied, and is anid to be rondered necessery becaus 6 o fow of the largest pwners of land fight the special assessments . made {p pay for the [and. In no caso is the smount of auy esssgsment to exceed the amount of special benefits reulting to ench piece or lob of .Jand. Contested tax casos aro to have precedence -in Courts over all cuses on the docket. In-this way it is intendod to compel fhe early puyment of assessments. It is claimed that $20,000 of sssessments are delegation, Who are inclined to sustain the sct in every legitimate way. Bome of the members haye been discussing the general Incorporation Act with s view of s0 mnnfling it that it will batter fit the cirgumatances of Chicago, due since 1870, Boction 9 is ix;:yended to pro- tect innocont purch compelling the vender to oertify to tho assamemeni Job for which the purchaser would gggoge"fil:hlr. Section 10 provides -that "the Commigsicreys mav anticioata taxes and assai- @ object leesons for the benofit of color-- monts for seversl years. The Commissioners that by auticipating the taxes for three years, and payiog 8 per cent on the amount, thoy can improve and throw open part of each park to tho public during the coming summer. Suppose they are opened to tho publit, how will the pub- lic got to them? AJl the people are not the awn- ers of horses and carriages, and the street-cars donot run to the parks, and will not until the natural growth of population justifies tho ox- tensiop of the lines. The growth of tho parks might be forced nnder tho operstion of this bill, but the wih of the city cannot be affected by legislation. Forced growth is unhealiny, and the imposition of 8 per cent to make tho ‘parks grow faster than the city is of guostionablo pro- priety. This section aldo provides for the exten- sion of time where money is due for lands par- chased, and empowers the Commissioners to pay 8 per cént until full payment is made. This iy claimed to be absolutely necessary, as bonds- are now dueand the Commissioners haye not the ‘money to meet them, because many of the as- sessments havo not been paid and are awsiting tho action of the Supreme Court. Suppose the de- cision should be sdverse will the interest be paid forever ? This clsuzo would mot havo boon neceesary had not the Commissioners expended the taxes before thoy were collected—an unwiss procoeding.

They had not agresd upon the person they esired, and could suggest no nsmes, thongh in- ~ited to do 6o by ths Governor. 'The Governor would prefer to wait until some legialation is effccted, but the pressure of candidates will compel him °to select the mon at an early day. The proposition to divido the Commission ‘into two Boards is fa- vorably receivad by many Senators, | Ex-Beastor Boyd, of Fulton, David Linegar, of Cairo, Dan.

Gazette., One of the peculiarities of the present sys- tem of railroad tariff was illustrated last week. A gentleman had shipped s cargo of apples from Chicago to Ripon, paying the freight charges through. The storm lset Thursday blocked the r03d, and the train which carried the apples was unablo to proceed father than thiscity. The owner of the fruit, fesring that the cold westher might damage his’ property, was desious of un- loading it here, 88 he found that - he could disposo of tho outwe Ilot smmong our dealers, Telegraphing to Chicsgo for permission, ho was informed that by paying 15 cents per barrel in sddition to the tariff from Chicago to Rivon, he could unlosd his apples at Janeaville. As Janesville is about .one hundred miles nearer Chicago than Ripon, it may ssem a littlo strange to those unaccus- tomed to paying freights that we should be charged so much moro for transportation .than our northern neighbors are. instanice il- Iustrates the fact that railroad companies will discrimi; peting line 0 apple-dealer- finally took his cargo to Ripon, whero ho sold it at 15 cents per barrel lees than Janesville dealers’ oould -have purchased the lot for.
