An Ympartinl and Competont Tribunal De- mandod. o tho Editor of The Chicago Tribune : fin: There is mot an intelligont man in this city who is not interested in the solution of this * Court-Housa question, It is a matter of im- mense importanco, o8 evory ono of honest pur- poso- deaires that this building shall bo an archi- tectural model, to instruct and elovate our peoplo. Standing in tho heart of a peouliar and won- dortul city, it should be an odific froo, S0 for as it can bo made, from blunders and stupidities marring its beauty. Are we to put millions of dollars into such & building? Is the old Court-Houso disgrace to .borepeated? From present indications it looke aa if such might be tho case. X amnot o judge, and do not assume the rank of critio, but write simply a8 a citizen, dooply intercsted in every- thing ‘calculated to promote the wolfare and beauty of this city. ‘Upon one point the publio are agreed: tho eeloction must bo a fair ono. ‘The prosont Com- ‘mitteo is too large, too little ncquainted with the rules and principles of the mfihm architocture, tocomo to any conclusion that will bo satis- factory to tho faxcpsors and tho poople. This fect mey bo deemod ns nlready estab- Mehed. The judgment, and knowledgo, and tasto of tho various mombors of the Committoeo aro so discordant that nothing like unity can over he reachod, This voflnF on plans does not dacide anything. The opinion of ono great diainterost- edarohitect is worth moro than that of a thou- sand morchants, snd lawyers, and doctors, on a complicsted and diflicult question of art, Lvory man of senso will admit this, 1 entortain hlfh respect for tho present Com- mitteo, and would not write or say a disrespoot- ful word of them, tut I am thoroughly con- vinced that thoy aro Incompotont %o “decida whichof tho forty-nine plans submitted to them Is tho best ono for the new Court-House. Nor, gnlfld they voto for forty yoars, is it likely that ey wonld arrive a & unanimous verdict. ~And, sven showa thoy finatly be ablo to decide upon one plan, {tis highly “improbablo that it would bo the bost plan. ‘Architects of gonius and oxperience, who dg- tormino tho roal value, and sottlo, io tho end, tho reputation of all great worke of art, might ronounce their verdict that our boasted Court~ ouso was one of the most imporfeot and ox- spensive follios of tho age. Wo caunot afford to run so gigantio a risk. 1t ia 8xid by somo that architects aro not good eritic. On the other Land, it may be affirmed n;rh c‘nrt‘unl.y ihtut x;u&lne XE;F boa mul: art-critio who Is ignorant of tho rules, principlos, and alms of art. hSELRBN, Can a man who can gearcely distinguish ono muslcal noto from another be iransforaied lnto musical critio, by an olection to the office of Al- derman or Board of Public Works? Can men who know not ono star from another defermine the mysteries of astronomical science? Buch lustrations can be carried to any oxtent, and thoy prove irreristibly that a body of mon unac- quainted with architecture or eriticlsm aro abso- lutely inadequate to settlo this Court-House dif- ficulty without recourse to men who have made the subjeot & study, and who aro thoroughly gamiliar with its principlos and details. . For the public heaith, wo employ physiciana. For tho deolsion of legal quostions, a compotont lawyer is employed, Dut, for the building of an adifico that will cost an immense sun, and which will stand for conturies, n monument of our taste or folly, wo doem it' sufliclent to take tho deciston of mon of inexporience, and allow tho groatest number of iguorant votes to sottla tho quostion. 1t seoms strango that axgument should bo re- quired in a caso whore common seuso o clonxly points out the way. ‘Wo must hiave a *“chango of vonue.” Justice o tho architects, to the tax-payors, and the poo- plo, requires that evorything connacted with thia Conrt-Houso business should bo aa cloar and epen as duyllfi}n. “Honest a4 tho prosent Committoo may be, they are breathing an lmfimro atmosphore,—n moral atmosphere fillod with temptation and corruption, A disintorosted tribunal must bo sought for; it cannot bo found in this city. Ttis truethat wo have somo artists of talout. But nearly the #ame objections would apply to thom a to the present Committeo, Dosides, it would be hard to oall upon o Jnrlv‘ of our own architects to judge their fellow-architocts, In- torost, envy, jealousy, might, and undoubtedly would, affaot thoir ljuagmnnt. ‘The forty-nine plana show clearly onough the tnate and " talent of our arohitocts. Wehave yepson to feel proud of thom, What Is wanted is a competent judge arddudgu to deolde be- tween. their plans, and disintorestedly select from the ontire numbor tho one thathas tho bighost morit. This nan aalybe done by artists who havono spooial intorests in thin city, and ;vh:: aro yusoquaintod with tho compoting arohi- ooth.

About this time Father Norinokx, a mission- ary, who Lad Inbored_principally in Kontucky, viaitod hus home in Bolgium. Mootlng young Da Smeot, be induced him to roturn with him to Amerien.
