The Town Olerks of West and North Ohicago Fail to Make Returns, All tho Rocords Destroyod---Tha Officers Claim to Be Elooted for Life, The Old and New Laws---The Approaching Elections. “Not onoman in twonty of thoso who repre- sont themselves to bo County Constables, in tho clty of Chicago, Lins any moro right to do so than youorL" said County Attornoy Root yesterday &t tho conclusion of = long and interosting con- versation with a Trinuse roportor on tho sub- Joct of tho ovils of tho oxisting Constablo rys- tom. Now, the personal liborty of the citizen is ‘boastfully said to bo rathor ticklish thing to meddle with without tho law at one's back in this city, and the roportor who heard the romark thought it was timo the pooplo should know juat oxactly how much thay hiave boon fooled in that single partieular. If Attornoy Root is right, about twenty of all tho arrosts out of overy twonty-ono—spanking in a genoral way— are mado by persous who are nomoro empowored by law to mako them than ono's dead grand- mother. INPROVING TALK WITI A JUSTIOE, Last July and August, tho reporter was om- ploying odd lelsuro hours in amusing himsolf with observing the doings of sovoral of those Constables. At the closo of a Lot aftornoon, ho dripped porspiringly up tho stairs of one of our buslest Justicos, nnd finding that digaitary black- cning hia teoth with o cigar, and resting his poor foct ou a rail, onsily ndmiring the proportions of & robust Hebo who wag washing out the ofilce. “Judgo,"” snid ho, *'I know (lot us sny) Schom- wob is a fraud.” “Tho d-d-deuco you do? What have you caught him at now ?” asked the man of many foos. & “ Compounding & folony, T thinl, in one caso; blackmailing, cortaivly, inanother; receiving monoy to settlo a caso boforo it camo into court In snothor, whilst ko was intrustod with tho papers to commence action in your Court, and othoer matters that can be all proved. His Honor lookoed thoughtfully. ‘It is s ory- Iog shame,” Lo said, * that we must uso such men ; but wo can't help it. I Xnow all about it, but ecan't stop it. Most of the poople who come horo aro poor and ignorant, and they are glad to mottle, through o Constablo, often, rather than come into court, sud by throntening the othor side, tho Constablo may be sald to aaministor justice (or injustioc) in more cases than tho Justice himsolf. Be- sidos, wo got lots of pooplo sued horo for glags of offonses thnt they would not for the world bavo their friends Loow anything about. It ia vory conveniont to thoso fellowa not to find the parties in such cages. Lor’, you'd bo surprised,” he said, laughing, “to seo how diffoult it is to find such peoplo, A ton-dollar noto to shut the Constablo’s mouthis often a ten-dollar noto wisoly Jnid out. Why, you remombor that Enstern_seduction-caso there was ‘so much bother about ? " ‘I ought to, 1 mnearly had my head knocked off for that.,” ““Well ;- this Constablo got 560 to keep you * darle’ nbout it.” #The Gabriol he did! What, to shut up my ocil 2" “Yea, And ho bonsted afterwards that ho lod tho dog’s own lifo sbout it for quite s while, through your having writton numutlu‘nfi or other about Bim that ~ the young fellow saw. Now, look hero m Chrigtian young friond, don't you go looking ater those Conslables too close ; maybe it'll be_all the betler for you.” Baying which, he offercd a cignr, and thoe report- erwent off. That Constablo is making money, to-day, faster than the entixo roportorial staff of an averago wmorning papor. DBut ho has boon looked after, closoly. ‘The convernation,whilst not over-woighted with facty nffecting tho gonoral question, will at ol svents serve to show how the Justices regard the poceadilloos of theso mon. Thoy aro aware of the evil ; tha more honorablo among them hate and dotestit; but for the sako of their business THEY MUST PUT UP WITH IT. Thoy cannot got along without the Constablos; cantiot got along without the nid of a sot of men the majority of ‘whom liwve no liconse or author- ityto mado mrrests; Innumorablo instances must bo familiar to every thoronghly postod ro- portor of nctunl outrages perpetrated by theso fellows, Probably many roportors have follow- cd up little igolutad cauos for their own curiosity audinformation, of whick they may have boon ra- ther too seared fo publish particulars, or, if nok afreid themsclver, thoir cliiofs may have beon doubtful as to the facts, or the nows may have Ermm stalo, ora Kreaam-u of othor matter may avo ariten, or o thousand such things, to pra- vent tho publication of the rosult of such in- quirics,—s publication which would Lave been suflicient to_show the utter rocklessness, diu~ honesty, and criminality of tho sa-called’ Con- stables, Itis bud cnough to suffer unnoces- sarily at tho hands of n logally-coustituted oficor; but to Lo at tho morcy of & ruffian, whoso ouly commiestou is his own effrontery, is nltogetboer too intolerable, Itis estimated by thoso who ought to Lnow that thoro are moro au FIFTY OF THESE BEMNI-LEGALIZED THIEVES proying on the vitels of the poorer classes of this city ; on the poorer clnsgos, bocause thoy oro too wary to try any of tholr hokey-pokey tricks with those who aro able to take cars of thomuolves. Ho much oxplaagtion Is noodad o show that whilst thoe reador takes a great deal of what {s hore statod on credit, ho may do 8o with perfect confidence, nothing being advanced ‘but what is well known to every roporter in the city who has served his appronticeship to tho businos, It appoars that numorous attompts Lave been mndo to dispossess somo of theso so-callod officors from iho posts thoy have usurped; hitherto without avail, the prosecution having in almost evory instanco boing bought off, or othiar- wiso inducod to abandon an np'f)m‘aully hopoless and iutorminable contost, carried on at & sorious loss of Lime and money, that could bo terminated ot & profit. ¥ gAY, nEPORTER," sang out & grensy; llf-loukiuq cltizen, tho othor day, to Tng Trisuxeman, I wanttor muy u word tor yow.

It nppenrs also that tho rocords aa to tho sppointmont of tho Constablos by tho difforent towna woro mostly dostroyed by tho fire, and that nuthln% now ‘oxists, oxcept ornl ovidones, which it in difileult, and, in_some casos, almost Imposaiblo to obtain, to'show con- clusively whathot or nat tho mon how claimin ofice logally lold it or not; and whon, i olected, ~thelr torma will expire. " In cnses of such oxtromo doubt snd difficulty, it _swould mnot do to proceod hnstily, and, perhaps, plungo the county in n protracted, exponsive, and uncertain litigation, and it was, {horoforo, dotermincd, ns s proliminary stop, 1o send n cireular to the various town clorks of tho county, desiring thom to state, ns aoon ns racticablo, the names and addrogses of tho logally-nppolnted Constablog in each town. Thin was done in February last. Although nlnrgo numbor of the outsido towns have complied with this raquost, by fomo 'UNREASONADLE NEGLECT tho towns of Wost and North Obhicego have failed in this shwple and important duty. Tho Olork of tho Town of Bouth Chicogo is the only ono of tho Chicago clorks who complied, nud - hoe eays plainly that the list is not to bo doponded upon; that ho cannot vouch for any of the partics named Doing logally appointed or legally acting ; that ho is informod somo sixtcon or moro porsons are claiming tho right to act, and aro now perform- ing the duties of the offico in conncetion with cortain Polica Justices’ offices, but that ho doos not know who thoy are, nor whora thoy livo, nor what Justices they work for, and that he has no record to show whothier thoy or anybody clso aro duly appointed. Tho following is THE LIST OF CONBTABLES, or persons cluiming to bo such, furnished by the Town Olork of Bouth Chieago: Willinm Bwin- urn, 170 Adams straot; Chatles O. MeLane, 170 Adams stroet ; G. L. Hastenor, 860 Adams Btroot : Lowis Bartols, 808 Adama’ streot ; and 8. Btost, 860 Adsms sfraot. 'hose who know anything of South Chicago, or thosoe who have businoss at tho Juaticos' of- ficos, will rond this list, and Jnugh, How did theso mon got thoir places? They camo in during the confusion thut followed tho firo. Bomo of thom had acted in &“ vious years, bub their time had oxpired, aud now fieizod an opportunity of rusbing’ in whilst all yaa disarzaugomont and troublo, hoping to lave obtained o firm footing by the timo things should linvo sottlod down. ~ Thon again others camo from outlying towns, and now dofy tho law to turn them out, 1nsisting that their appoint- mont in any town in Cook County is good for all the towns of Cook County. It so happous, al- though the fact sooms to ba not generally known, hat undor the now act respecting Justices of the Ponco and Constablos, paased July, 1873, THE ELECTION TAKES PLACE AFRIL 1, noxt. If this be #o, a8 stated by tho County At~ torney, it is well tho public should be made aware of the fact, so ns to &wmpm‘o. Mr. Root explained tha differonce botwoen tho old and now statutes. In both, cach town oloct- ed its own Justico of the Peaco and Constables, oxcopt in Chicago, Tho new Constitution pra- videsiur fifloon Justices of the Peaco for Chi- cago, to be_appolnted l?vum Govornor, on_tho recommendation of tho Judgos; which fiss beon duly attended to, but there was no provision s to Constables; 0 n-new Act was passed, July, 1872, for tho olection of Conatables. It provide for tho olection of two Juatices of thoe Penco, in ovory town, oxcopt Chicago, and in Obi- cago, two Constables or cach 2,000 population, ond ono Constable for ovory additional 1,000 of Eopu]nzlun. The theory of this law is, that all Conatables should 0 out of offico on tho 1t of April, tho day of the now eloction, but the Supremo Court hina decidod that this clause is not good. Tho At- tornay-General haa further oxpressod the farthor opinion that the lawful offico-holders will ro- main in oftieo till their torms oxpire, in which opinion Mr. Root concurs. 1f this bo g0, wo shall bo afflictod with TWO ARMIES OF CONSTABLES, the old and the news and, with rospect to tho former, most of thom inglsting that they aro clectad for lifo (and tho opinion of cminent law- ofticors being, that thoy are in for their term of offico, whintover thiat torm may bo), it bocomes apparent that it isnocossary, firat, tofind out who are ncting ; sccond, those who are entitled to act, and, Folrd, tho'terma for which thoy legally Lold offico. It iswith thia viow of tho subject that Tue TRinUNE bag presouted somse facts to the publie, tho oxistonco of which, it is truo, most peoplo suspected, but tho direct bearing of \Which on nearing ovonts had to bo declared o bo appreciated. "Thia articlo cannot bo closed with nmoro fitting remark than ouo made by o promi- nont Iawyor, yestorday, in connoction with this subject, nomely, “I"do not boliovo thoroisa single loga] Congtable of the county, orof the town, or of the city, now acting in Chicago."
