THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1873. 3 e THE LAW COURTS, Judgments Against the Great Western Telegraph Company. Fresh Apprehensions of Danger from the Calumet Dam. An Unsuccessful Claimant Against the City. The Great Western Telegraph Company will apply to the Court to set aside the judgments obtained against it by the Commercial Nationa] Bank, same day next week. The argument was get for to-day, but on Saturday the counsel for defendant appeared before Judge Troe and rep- resented that he had not bad time fo look into the papers, and prepare affidavits in opposition to the application, whereupon his Honorallowed an extension of time until he should have had the opportunity desired, tho other sido to be notified, and the case went over. The ground on which the application to set aside the judgments In favor of the bank is made, is published in the ¢ anawer " of the Company to the petition in bankruptcy, which was published in Wednesday morning’s TRIBUNE. DANGER FROM THE CALUNET DAM. In Fairchild v. Pfeiffer et al, tholast dam caso, the defendants, on Saturday, applied to Judge Farwell to increase the bonds, alleging that great danger to the mill by spriog freshets is apprehended. This cause was brought by-the complainant, the owner of lands in the vicinity of the Calumet dam to restrain the defendants, the owners of the mill there, rebuilding the partly destroyed masonry work, which they threatened to do on the refusal of Judge Will- iams to grant the prayer of the complainants in the suit brought against the Canal Commission- ers to restrain them pulling down the dam, and which time none of the parties concerned seem to have been quite certain of their legal rights. The defendants alleged that, ow- ing to the state of the dam at present, theirmill and other property, are linble i any moment to be swept away; and, further, that by the destruction of the dam their business will be ruined. The Court thought it only fair that, g0 long s the rights of the par- ties were undiscovered, the defendants should be protected from any loes that might accrue, in the eventof the Court finding for them, and the bonds were ordered increased to £10,000. A'LEAN V. THE CITY. In the case of McLeanv. the city, before Judge Rogers, & verdict has been returned in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff made a rather unusual claim, placing Lis damages at $7,000, for injuries resulting from being thrown from his wagon by pile of earth that had been suffered to sccumulate on Wabash avenue. The evidence showed that the sccumulation in question was directly in the way of the car- risge traffic, and that the plaintiff’s horse took fright as plaintiff was getting on wagon and up- sot him on the pile, the inference being that the ile caused the fright, as well a8 that the pile roke the plaintif’s leg, The sagacious quad- - ruped was not brought on the witness stand to prove that he was scared by the pile, or why he Tan into the pile, and the jury seemed to think the casé pot one for their sympathy, in tho ab- sence of direct proof. Gen. Stiles appeared for the city, McKindley and Morrison for the de- fendants. TAKING UNNECESSARY EVIDENCE. The taking of unnecessary evidence has roved a !’ra%nent cauge of complaint in tho E’niwd States Courts ; aud, remonstrance having proved ineffectual, Judge cently, in an eadmiralty case appealed from the District art, in which the decree of that Court was afirmed, commented on the enormous quatitity of testimony taken, and, being satisfied that the libolant was to bleme, directed him to pay part of the costs in both Courts. In this caso there were over 550 pages of printed words, when 150 pages, by the most liberal estimate, were not required. THE FIREMEN'S INSUBANCE COMPANY. At the meeting held on Saturday, before Regis- ter Hibbard, for the purposo of declaring a final dividend, the accounts, of which a summary was ven in Saturday’s TRIBUNE, were presented by . Horton, Assignee. The dividend will prob- sbly amount to 13¢ per cent; but no order to that effect was made, the exact amount not be- ing determinable. The unusually small ex- penditure in conducting the affairs of the bank- Tupt was a matter of favorable comment. GENEBAL NOTES. Some of the reporters having been searching among the files for 8 new ‘“bill” that has been filed in the Circuit Court, according to the Jour- nal, in Terwilliger v. Great Western Telegraph Company, & clerk has hinted that perhaps the unsophisticated Charley of the champion heavy- weight, has made & mistake in the name of the document, as well as its import. There's such a thing a8 a petition in_the case; and that's with Chaso, the Iawyer. But what's inaname? A zose by any other name would smell as sweet. The Clerk of the Circuit Court is anxious' to see the £6 (payable on all new bills filed) for the “bill” in Terwilliger v. the G. W. Telegraph Company, which the Journalhss been crowing sbout. He hasn't seen the * bill,” but, if such an article is lying around, with the estimable Gross’ name attached to it, the estimable Gross would like to see the £6 also. The decree in the Patton case shows that Charles Patton has received £41,370, snd ex- nded §93,332.17, leaving & balance in hand of B77047.69, ‘which, with interest, emounts to £7,839.57, to be handed over to Mary, the fair complainant. Judge Drommond, on Saturday, concluded the hearing of O. Marcy v. The Town of Ohio, for the payment of interest coupons on Ilinois Grand Trunk Railroad bonds bought by the plaintiff, and took the master under advisement.

After hearing remarks from several of our citizens, irrespective of party, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: ~ ‘WHEREAS, We have had our attention called to the acts of our Reprosentatives in an unusual way, having uake a had several charged with crimes which wor private citizen blush with ehame, we are further aston- 1shed by their cro act of donating openly largo eum of money to their own use, calling it salary ; therefore, Resolted, That we believe they have stepped over their bounds, and taken a position incompatible with pure American principles, by attempting to make them- Belves masters, and the peoplo serfs, Resolred, That, while wo believe the laborer worthy of his hire, we also believo that _galaries heretofore ai- Iowed suticlent for all necessary expcnses, and plenty spare, Resolved, That, while we are indignant towards those who have ¥olajed their trust, we honor those who kept thelr pledges, and, whils looking after thelr own inter- ests, have not forgotten theinterest of the people whom they represent. Resolved. That the proceedings of this meeting bo sent to the Clicago papers for publication. J. G. Mivs, Socretary. CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM. “Che application of Civil Servics Reform measures to the Government affars, 8o far as the Post-Office is concerned, has been moat encouraging in its results. Gen. MeArthur has sppointed to responsiblo position in that department one Gustav Busse, ex-Alderman, who was imprisoned in the County Jail for receivinga bribe, In the light of present Congressional develop- ments, the action of the mew Postmaster is very sig- nificant. Tho Arst act performed by = the Credit Mobilier ex-Alderman on recelving his situstion _was to attempt sccure the Teleaso of a geatleman of ¥French extraction, from the House of Correction. With more prudence and less effrontery than Schaffner, he persuaded that talented Alderman to interceds with the Mayor in his behalf, Wonderful fo relate, the Mayor declined to observe in tho outburst of rhetoric with which his ears were regaled, any reason why the erring inmate of Mr. Felton's asylum should be set at liberty.

I have been troubled with asthma for over two years, and it ‘ecame #0 bad last fall and winter, that X could not walk over twenty rods without sitting down to rest; neither could I perform work of any kind, If I chopped wood briskly for five minutes, I would fall down for want of breath, s0 Armly hiad the discase taken hold of me, Finally I was perausded to try the Expectorant, and procuring a botile from Mesars, Hawley & Efchell, of thia place, T commenced using it. ‘After taking in all four bottles, T am now able todo as much work in & dsyas any man in my neighborhood, and my complaint has entirely left me.

Theloftiest house, and the most perfect in tho ‘matter of architecture 1 have over seen, was that Shich & wood-chopper occupied with his family one winter in the forests of Santa Cruz County. Tt was the cavity of a redwood tree, 240 foot in height. Fire bad eaten away the trunk at the Dase, until & circular room had been formed, 16 foet in diamoter. At20 feet or more from the ground was & knot-hole, which afforded ogress for the smoko. With hammocks hung from and n fow cooking utensils hung npon Dthor pegs, that houss lacked no essential thing. This woodman was in possession of a house which had been 1,000cars in process of building. Perhaps on the very day it was finished he camo along and entered in. How did all jack-knife And band-saw architeoture sink into insignifi- cance in contrast with this honse in the solitudes of the great forest! Moreover, the tenant fared like & prince. ithin 80 yards of his coniferons house & mountain stream went rushing past to the sea. the swirls and eddies under the shelving rocks, if one could not 1and half & dozen trouts within an hour, he deserved to go hnngrg 8s o ponalty for his awkwardness. Now an then & deer camo out into the openings, and, at no great distance, quails, rabbits and pigeons Gould be found. What did this man want more than nature furnished him?

Tho Houso of Representatives has dealt with tho Credit Mobilior affair yery much as might have been expectod. As we ventured to predict somo weeks ago, it has rofused to expel any- body; butit has censured Messrs. Brooks and Ames, which we"did not think it wounld do—not because we did not believe those gentlemon de- served censure, but because we thought censure simply too ridiculons & penalty ‘even for the Houso to inflict. Why the penalty is ridicalous of course hardly needs explanation. If Onkes Ames, in his dealings with the membersin Credit Mobilier stock, did not mean to exert a corrupt influence on them, his transactions are oo more matter for comment by Congress than his deal- ings with hiscustomers at Easton. If he did mean to esort a Wrmfit or corrupting infinenco on them, of course he has been guilty of thegravest offenso which a member of Congress, qua mem« ber, could commit. Censuring him, thereforo, is very like finding &_man guilty of wilfall mur- der, and then reminding him, by way of punish- ‘ment, that his conduct hes been culpable, and that hie must be more watchfal in future. The same thing may bo said, with still greater force, of Mr. Brooks' case. Theére wero scenes and incidents in the do- bate, too, which [llustrated most powerfully tho depth of the provalling domoralization, and which explained pretty clearly how it is that tho investigation has ended in nothing. Every step in the proceedinga rovealed clearly that wide- spread reluctanco to punish anybody, or to spply to the vices of anybody in_particular the disapprobation which we, in our books and ser- mons, inflict on vice in tho abstract, of which we spoke & few. weeks ago in commenting on the failurelof the Bar Association in ite pursuit of the Erie connscl. Thers was o world of meaning in the spectacle presented by Ounkes Ames sitting bathed in tears, with a big bonquet of flowers in front of him, in the char- acter of & national hero persecuted by an:un- grateful country, like the well-known Christo- pher Columbus, while Mr. Benjamin F. Butler, who is rather prond of being s rascal, and boasta of his freedom from such incumbrances g8 con- scienco or honor, stood manfully forward, not in defense only, but in glorification of him,—But- lor himselt being clearly the leading man in the "‘:"’mbhs? defiant, courageous,.imperious, the cynosuro of all eyes, fresh from baving instruct- ed the House in ifs duty,as guardian of the National honor, in the distribution of the Ala- bama fund. The attitude of the rest of tho Dody waa not less instructive, There were no signs whatever of shame, or indignation, or of any other emotion with a noble eide to 1t CThe whole debate reminded one of the efforts of a herd of eheep to find an opening in a fence through which they might escape & barking dog —the same scurrying to and fro, and the eame Irantic engerness in front of all attractive-look- ing holes. One little motion, smendment, and point of order followed the other, the sharp, ingenious fellows carrying off the honors of the day, until the desired aperture was discovered, affer which they seem to have wi their brows and breathed freely. The House, in short, showed the very prevalent dread of per- gons who have committed crimes and offenses. Moral coursge scoms to be nFidly becoming the peculiar possession of people who have no morality. . Honest men hang their heads in the presence of & rascal. Thoy try him with great .zeluctanco, pass sentence - on him with sobs and groans, and then beg of him for God's sake to run away and leave them to their business ; and when he refuses to run, and procecda to slap their faces, they are profoundly impressed by his pluck—think that he must have good in him after all,-snd, remembering his mother and sisters, and his early attendance on the Sunday-school, weep on his breast and sub- scribe to set him up in basiness, The result is that criminals begin to have s hearty contempt for us, and, far from repenting them of their crimes, are daily cursing their moderation in not atrippinieu more thomufihly. Their view of socioty begins to resemble that of the pick- pockets who took a gentleman’s watch aud purse in broad daylight, two or three years ago, on the platform of a Fourth avenuse car, and when he remonstrated, kicked him off and Iauglied at him 28 ho ran after them penniless on foot. ‘What effect will all this have on the Republi- can party ? This is the question which body is naturally ssking, because, whatever Con- gress _may say or do, everybody who doea not despair of tho country beliaves that out of doors the sentiment about the Credit Mobilier affair is var{l'hfl'erent from that which seems to provail in the House, and that this sentiment will soon- cror later find expression atthe polls. But there is and will continue to be more or less dif- ference of opinion as to its nature and objects. Harper's Weekly, for instance, which found no Qifficulty in making the Democratic party respon- gible for the doings of the New York Ring, thinks that the Republican party cannot proper- ly .be held responsible for the _corruption or wrongdoing of its Erincipd men, but that whatover is reprehensible in the Credit Mobilier affair should be laid at the doors of the individuals implicated solely, while the par- ty should be allowed to retain its power and find other and honester agenta to do its work. This is a logitimate deduction from a theory which the Weekly has long held, and which Mr. Henry Wilson defended in the 17 Iast summer agaunst the attacks of the Nation, viz. : that the Republican party is an organization analogous to the Christian humh‘hharing ood in general for its object, and not the umhogiment in legis- Iation of & particular sot of opinions; that, there- fore, its failure to carry cut any particular lino of policy, or to enact any particular Iaws, or the corruption or ignorance of its leaders, are no more_destructive of its claims to respect and confidence than the failure of the Christian Church thus far to -convert the world, or the bad behavior of its clergy,is destructive of its claims to divine origin. This theory has, of course, o basis in:fact,—and that is, that the party does really contain a very large proportion of the virtue sud intelligonce of the country, and does really exhibit, in its legislation, a higl er ideal of national polity than the party it sup- planted. To make the theory complete, how- ever, and make it answer the purpose for which it is apparently intended, of establishing the right of the Republican party to retain the per- petual control of the Goverument, and to make unimpeachable the analogy with the Christisn Church, an sdditional proposision is necessary— that the Republican party is mot only the best party now in existence, but the best possible par- ty, and the only posible party. It isnot enoagh to eay that it is better than the Democratic party was; it has to be said that it {s better than any party ever will be. We shall only remark of this doctrine, that it is absolutely novel ; that noth- ing liko it has over bofore been heard of in politics ; and that it it were sound, discussion and many other processes of constitutional gov- ernment vonid hereafter be useless in tho TUnited Statss, and we should speedily be' deliv- cred up to a body of political pricste, bound by cf.ugg: ordination vows to take charge of our af- airs. We, on thy other hand, maintain, and with in- eressed coridence, that the shamefal corruption in the Govenment which is showing itself mde by side witl overwhelming Repablican majori- ties all oves the country, isa fresh proof that the Repnblicanparty is a common human organiza- tion, for tis ordinary political purposes—name- 1y, the embdiment “in' legislation of & small cluster of ileas ; that that e was carried ont at the dose of the rebellion ; that the party is now funtus officio, and has for several years been kept n offics by ths poj dread of * re- action” an; the force of tho great patronage and enormons handling of money resulting from the war ; and that, in the absence of any great coa- trolling ideas, of real work, and of a powerful and respectablo opposition. its leading men, who, forall practical purposes, nro the party and represent it, hava grown careless, aud inso- lent, and indifferent to public opinion, and final- Iy corrupt. There is nothing ecclesiastical abont them orit. 1t bas no divino mission, aud they have no persoual consceration, 1L i8 sim- ply the consensus of » large body of the Ameri- can people on a few points of home; policy, and they sre s number of not_very remarkablo geo- tlemen, whom the American people has put in charge of its affairs. Tho remedy is to be found in the formation of another organization for other purposes. What tliesds prrposes are wo have frequently intimated. Womay ventire to repeat them—the reform of the Civil Sirvice; th restoration of the jodiciary to its old position of indepsndence and reapec- tability: the simplitication_ of political machin- ery, 80 that lonest and industrious citizens can ettond to therr political affairs without thé help of professional trickstera; the release of thio States from the constant interference and super- vision of the central authority; the itication of Congress by the reform of the tanif, aud the proliibition of grants, subsidies, bountics, B tective” duties, and the total exclusion of Con- gressmen from a sharo in tho appointiug power. 'Cheso objects can only ba obtained by s party formed for that purpose, and for nothing else. Whether wo are near the formation of any such party we do not know. Ve acknowledge with sorrow and disappointment that the eveuts of last year undoubtedly postponed it, but wo would fain bolieve that thoso who last year hon- estly strove to bring about a better stato of things, have not abated one jot of heart or hope. ‘Wo are sure that they must find in what is now passing both abundant justification_for their coursc and abundant reason for trying again, whenever the opportunity offers. It is noedless to say, of course, that any such organization would contain, if uccessful, whatever good ele- meuts the Republican party now contains, and many good eclements which tbat party does not contain, and nothing short of this combination of the good of all partics will save us. The good Republicans are not likely to be removed in chariots of fire when the party organization disappears. 4 THE STORY 0[;' A HERMIT. Puitsville (Pa.) Correspondence of the New Fork Timex, There died, near the village of Ringtown, Sehuylkill County, near the unorthern boundary, not loug smce, a man named Harper, tho groater Em ~of whoso life was passed in voluntary ermitage mon% Bchuyllall and Columbia Countics. Ho first ap- geucd about forty years ago in West Penn ‘ownship, Schuylkill *County, where, in & wild and unfrequented spot in tho mountains, ke built a rede hut and shut himself out from all communication with the outside world. Although baving the appearance of a man far advanced in life, it has sinco been nscertained that he wes not'yet 40 years of ago. Who or what Lo was no one knew. Ho very rarely lect his lonely re- treat, and then only to obtain certain necéssa- ries of life. How he lived or what he did were matters of which the inhab- itants of the town wero entirely _igno- rant. Old residents remember his coming to those parts, and say that he truly “dwelt with solitude and walkoed the rocks and forests like a Wolf.” Young men grow toold sge and died, and atill Harpor remained in his rude hut. Al 1ast, the hermit not having been seen for some timo by any of tho villagers, it began to be whis- pered “sbout that he was dead. His hut was visited, but, slthough it was empty, and evi- dontly had been for some time, nothing was found to indicate that the hermit had died. A short time afterward, thero appeared in the village of Ringtown a queer old man, with long, snowy locks and beard, bent form and wrinkle visage. He was bare-headed, clad in ragred garments, and walked with a long, smooth staff. Purchasing a few groceriesin tho village, Tio disappeared. Bome months afterwards, he ©gain came to the village,mado similar purchases, and went away. This time, the curiosity of the villagers being excited to kmow more of the singalar being, he was followed. Ho tooka rough and narrow path, which ran some miles over the mountain,and led to a deep, rocky For e, near the boun of Schuylkill and Co- umbia Counties. In this gorge was a dark and damp cavern, into which tho old man entered, and where it was found he dwelt. This was the hermit of West Penn Township. He had, it was thought, left his former retreat to find more per- fect solitude and isolation. The_severity of the present winter, and the groat depth of the snow, a short time since com- pelled the old man to leave his mountain fast- ness, as he was on the verge of starvation. He wandered over into Columbia County, where ho found an asylum in the house of & kind farmer, whero he died a fow days after he was given shelter. On his death-bed he gave an account of hia life, and the causes which led him to put himself beyond the pale of a society of which he had once been & bright ornament. His narrative was substantially as follows : His name was James Harper. When he died he waa within few weeks of reaching the eigh- tiothanniversary of his birth, Between forty and fifty years ago bo was the senior partner of Har- Bflr & Bro., hardware merchants, Market street, hiladelphia. His brother was some years his junior, and their firm stood among the leading ones of the city. They lived in fine style in Chestnut street, and, neither of them being married, their only eister superintended their household affairs. About the year 1835 James Harper went to Earopo, leaving the business in charge of his brother, in whom he placed the utmost confi- dence. ' He spent two years traveling in the old country, during which time he marricd an ac- complished, benutiful, and wealthy young Eng- lish ar, a'member of one of the léading fami- lies, For some months previous to his depar- ture from London to return home, Mr. Harper had not heard from his brother—his letters, which had boen regular and cheering, suddenly ceasing. Approhensive of something wrong, the senior partnor determined to forego further saunterings in Europe, and, shortly after his marringo, embarked for Philadelphia, accom- panied by his bride. When the voyage was about half over, and the despondency that had soized Mr. Harper when ho left London had been somewhat dispelled, the small- x broke out among some emigrant fami- ies in thosteerage. The plague spread to the cabin pussengers, and_smong the victims was the young wife of Mr. Harper, who died in tho groatest agony, and whose body was cast into the gea. This was tho first thrust into the heart of the returning morchaut, and prepared bim for others that awaited him. After lying in quarantine some timo after reching port, the passengers of the plague-stricken ship were per- mitted to land. A few hours afterward Mr. Harper learned that he was a ruined man. His brother, shortly after his senior went to Europe, fell into disso- lute habits, and in & year and a half had driven the firm into bankrupicy, and in a fit of despera~ tion blew out his brains in a gambling-hell. The gister died in a few wecks of grief, and the piop- erty of tho firm waa all sold by the Sheriff. Mr. Hi r found himself without a dollar ora single relative, and barely & friend, where ho left & prosperons business, a happy home, and hundreds of flattering acquaintances. Over whelmed with misfortuno, broken-hearted, and deserted, he detormined to put himsolf forever away from all contact with the world and live alone with his bitterness. Ho kept his vow sa- credly until he knew that doath was stealing upon him, when he felt that he would like to close his' eyes upon the world surrounded, if possible, by fellow-beings who would minister %0 his Iast wanta, and give him Christisn burial. Making Cripples. An intelligent traveler on his way to the penal settlements of Siberia, starting from St. Peters- burg, fell in with a tribs of Kirgis. Although informed it wes customary with them to knock their Russian prigoners on the head just hard enough to blunt their intellect and. deslm{ their usefulness as laborers, this was denied by one of the elite as a slander. However, he ascer- tained the fact that when thoy have secured a captive, such a ono as they would like to retain anently, a deep cut is made in the soles of is feot, near the heel,into whicha wad of horse- hair is inserted. Of course, walking is next to impossible aftor that cruel operation, which probably partially divides the planter ligament extending from the heel totho toes. But he can ride, and as 1t ia the lifo of those marauding rascals to be always on the back of a norse, the maimed elave i8 not incapscitated from follow- ing his master on horseback snd performing such services as may be required of him.
