The Chivage Titbune, Saturday Morning, November 1, 1873. The Prosidont has officially cnntruldlmd the statoment sent in the forenoon dispatches yesterday, that the Socrotary of the Treasury is abont to resign to make room for ex-Gov. Mor- gan, of New York, ——ee ‘Tho appropriations for tho expenses of New York City for 1874 aro $26,600,000, sn increaso of nearly 7,000,000 over those of tho present soar. ‘The county appropriations aro $18,400,~ 000, an incronso of $8,000,000. Tho total appros pristion, $38,900,000, doos not sliow o disposition to practico tho ecoriomy which hias been preached 8o much of late in that city. et Washington rumor ssye that Secrotary Rich- ardson will soon resign, and that ox-Gov. Mor- gan, of New York, will bocome Becratary of tho 'veasury. I¢ this step is taken, it will still be compatont for Congroes to impeach Mr. Rich- srdeon for depositing the publio funds, without socurity, in a rotton bank just ncross tho sunfst from the Treasury building. | The Gorman organ of the Hosingitos prints, in colossal typo snd in seversl parts of tho paper, tho following announcement: “The Haadquarters of tho Poople’s Party are open . overy ovening till 9 o'clock, and also the Crime inal Court.” The information was intonded for the benefit of the unnoturalized, but it might also be made useful for a good many of the naturalized in tho Hesing party. e Gormany is now a8 thoroughly united as sho was when the French war summoned hor chil- dren to arms from the Baltic to the Alps, from thie Rhine to tho Memel, says Horr Hesing in his last campaign circular. Wo don’t think she is quite so thoroughly united, but if sho is, the French, Irish, and Scandinavians will possibly tako a difforont view of the local political sitna~ tion from that enjoyed by Horr Hesing. Bixteen foreign life-Insurance agencles are in trouble in Dubuque, I, for conducting their business contrary to the provisions of the laws of tho Btate. Buits have boon brought sgainst thom, aggrogating a penalty of $217,000. If the charges againat them are true, they will con- tributo vory matorially to aid tho causo of educa- tion in Towa, na three-fourths of the penalty goes to the School Fand. A morning newspapor which devoted three weers of sturdy offert to convince the publio thet the Citizons' Union ticket is & Tnmuxe tickot, 18 now striviug o porsuade them that itis not a TrBUNE ticket, ‘The importance of know- ing whethor it is or isn’t & TRIDUNE ticket is so wvost, in tho estimation of this newspaper, that nothing can be dono and no positions taken till that question ia sottled. ) Ecleoticism reccived a new inspiration yester- day, and produced & frosh tickot.

If our memory serves us aright, the last vote of Kendall County stood about in thia wise: Grant 1,619, Grooley 809, or about five to one in favor of the Repub- lican party. If tho regular ticket is mow in dongor, as the Record's morvousness would soem to lmply, there must be a heavy galo blow- ing through the Stato. Commissions in blank, signed*by Daniel 0'Hars, appolnting tho lucky holder or findor to the offico of Doputy Olork of tho Criminal Courk of Cook County, with all the powers and respon- sibilities appertaining thereto, were issued libor- ally at tho Hesing headquarters yesterday. And that was not all.” Each of these commissions had a blank affidavit attached, signed by Daniel O'Hara, cortifying that —— —— oppeared be- fore him and mado onth that ho would “in all things faithfully, honestly, and impartially porform the dutles of my eaid offico of Deputy Clerk, saccording to the best of my understanding and ability ;” slso that ho (tho supposed swearor) had never fought a duel, nor sent nor accepted a challenge to fight a duol, nor been a second in a duel, ete., ote., * 30 help me God.” Ono of theso precious documents, bearing the seal of tho Court, fell into the handa of a TRIBUNE roporter. It was, of courso, com- potent for nim to fill his own name into tho blank, and then go beforo the Grand Jury of tho Criminal Court, and have the Olerk of the Crim- inal Court indicted for falsely certifying to sn afidavit. Probably Mr. O'Hara thought {this was a8 logal a8 the naturalization business now going on. A samplo of the kind of campaign which the Hesingited sre making waa furnished in tho Eightoonth Ward night before last. A meoting had been callod of the Law-and-Order citizens in a Scendinavian hall. Atter ono speaker had concluded his eddress, the room was invaded by tho Hosing-0'Hara roughs, who endeavored to put down tho speakers that followed with hooting, howling, oursing, blackguarding, ond stamping. As this process was not quita ropid enough to suit them, the blackguards solected tho woskest man among tho sposnkers, Mr. Brockway, & onmc-legged soldior, dragged him from the platform, maltreated Lim, and then broko up the meeting. It is possiblo that the roughs, blackguards, shouldor-hitters, gam- ‘blers, thioves, knucks, and bullica in tho employ of tho Hesing-0'Hara faction mny overcomo a poncenblo gathoring of citizons of a smaller number, though it is & acandal and die- grace to our city that it should be g0; but thoy cnunot overcomo the’ ro- spectability of Chicago at the polls, and much less now than before. Tho outrago committed in the Eighteonth Ward is an indication of what is likely to be attempted et the voting-places next Tuesday, aud it should servo as a warning to tho polico authoritics to furnish ample pro- tection to peaccable citizon votors. —— The financial situation gathers gloom with ench succeeding day, and tho latest mtnlh'gnuuo from tha condition of tho Spragues does not afford much room for hopo that it will soon im- prove.

Whon Mr. Gage proposed to givo tho oity the direct custody of its funds with all the mtorost, aud simply toke chargo of tho ac- counts for o salary, tho Common Council re- fused oithor to rolease him from his bonds eor to give him aoyihing for clork hire, but iuslsted that Do must handle the monoy a8 ho plensed, and that ho and his bondsmen must be rosponsible to the oity for it. Notwithstanding tho fact that ho has beon rolieved of nono of tho responsibility, Mr. Gogo has paid ovor ©180,000 to the clty in throo years, which was his in tho eyes of tho law and by the procedent ostablishod by all of Mr. Hesing's Olty Treasurors. 'We beliovo that this is u tolorably complote suawer to Mr. Hos- ing's objoctions to Mr. Gago's having paid over $180,000. Will Mr. Hosing now explain why it is that, 08 a high-minded, public-spirited, and eritical oltizon, ho bas drawn more than §85,000 out of the City Troasury without rendering any corresponding sorvico thorefor ? TIME FOR ACTION. Thero i8 reason to fear that the Campaign Committee of tho Oitizens' Union Tickot fail to appreciate the onergetic labors of thoir op- pononts, and are deponding too much upon the fact that thoy actually represent tho majority. Of what avail is it-that twenty men can outvote ton it fifteon of tho twenty do not go to the polls? This Committee and the publio gonor- ally must understand what thoy have to contond with, and wo now rocapitulate somo of tho op- posing forces: " 1. Tho 2,500 enloon-keepers, each man battling for his bread and toddy, and fighting agniust laws which o claims deprive him of his righta. 2.

Tnch man in theso various forces is an adtive partisan ; oach is a committeo on his own block to procuro registration, and bring men to the polls ; each is at work dny and night vigorously, dolng his work in detail, and with such atten- tion that thero is no doubt tbat on Tucsday next every man in Chicago who can in any man- ner be induced to vote the Hesing ticket will be «t the polls ana doposit hia vote, In alargema- jority of tho precincts, the Election Inspectors ara exclusively Hosingites. With theso Germane in thoir prosout excited state, it would not bo at all surprising if thoy should take possession of the polls in gome places and hold them exclusive- ly throughout the day. Havo the Citlzens' Union Committeo, or the citizons genorally, considored theso oloments of strength with which they have to contend?

Olorkson for Judgo of the Buporior Court, and sncoring at him be- causo ho 18 “*tho brothor of & Protestant Bishop and o plllar of tho Ohurch,” says: Now wo beliovo wo know that tbis plous, reapectable man hos boen implicated in tronsactions ina cortain sult in our Clrcult Court (Hill vs, Hoxlo) which, if they wora mado public, would soriously damage his charnotor a a lawyor, s man, aud dovout Ohristian, W will not ssy that theso transactions havo amounted to tho procuring of falas tostimony, and therofors tho subornation of porjury (Verlefturig sum Meinetd), but wo bollovo that thoro are honorablo lawyors who do bollovo that that which Ar, Clarkson did grazos olosoly on tho legal definition of tho offenso indicated, Now, wo propose to ‘makepublic * tho connec- tion which Mr.;Clarkson[bad with tho case of Zill s, Hozdo, not moroly for tho purposo of vindicat~ ing him from tho slander of tho Staats-Zeitung, which wo boliove would b unnocessary, but bo- couro tho case itaclf has a romantic intoreat that warranta the recital. * Ttis nocessary togo back to the time of the murder of Holen Jewott in Now York, which oc- currod in the year 1837, and which still ocoupios » consplcuous place among tho causes celebres of American crime. Holen Jowett was a beauti- ful woman of loose morals and thesupposed mis- tress of Richard P. Robinson, & young man of & good Connecticut family. Ono night her house was burned down, snd Holon Jowetl's mur- dored body was found in tho ruins. It waa supposed that tho louse was fired to obliterate all tracoe of'tho dood. Robinson was arrestod on suspleion and placed on trial for murder. Ho was bofrionded in his troublo by Mr. Josoph Hoxie, his omployer, then » prom- inont morchont of New York, and subseguently & member of Congress,—now deceased. Robin- son was ascquitted. Anothor indictment was found sgainst him for arson, and Mr. Hoxio and his other friends porsuaded him to fly to Toxas, which had not then been acauired by the United States. Other partios in tho meantime had reprosented that Robinson had ombozzled the fuuds of Hoxie while in his employ. Robinson dentod this, but, gratoful for Mr, Hoxic's friend- ship, ho insisted that tho latter should take cortificates for a halt-section of land in Illinois, ‘which Robineon had bought with his own money, and hold them until he had eatisfied himsolt that Robinson's accounts wore all right. At all evonta, this was tho theory of Mr. Olarkeon's clionts in tho law-suit. Robinson then.wont away to Texas, and was nover again soon by his formoer frionds and associates. It is supposed that Hoxie, upon & subsequont oxamination of Robinson's accounts, found them to be correct, for ho paid no more attention to the cortificates in his possession, snd never took any steps to got o patent for tho lnnd. Tho property, which is located in Hyde Park Township, was, up to within & few yoars, a mere swamp, and of no gront value. It was gold for taxes, and bought by J. Y. Scammon. It is probably worth $150,~ 000 at the present time. A fow yoars ago, Mr, George W. Hill, a Inwyer of this city, in going over the records, discovered the condition of tho property, and concluded that the titlo was still in Hoxie or his heirs, Hoe wont to New York, and prooured a quit-claim dood from Mr. Hoxio, thon & man 75 years old, along with the original cortificates, which wore found in an old safo where thoey had lain somo thirty yoars. After the fire, Mr, Hill commenced proceedings in tho Circuit Court of Cook County againat Hoxio and others, including Robinson and his heirs, to sot- tlo the title in him. . In the meantime, Robingon had died in Toxas, and made & willleaving tho property to a family named McKay, who had been kind to him in his exilo. It came to the knowledgo of a Texas lawyer that Hill had commenced suit to bar the Robingon heirs from claiming the proporty, and he fnformed the MoKsy family of it. The Mec- Kays employed this lawyer, Roots by name, who ‘wroto to tho Second National Banlk of this city, asking o referonce to a compatent solicit- or to undertake tho defemso of their claims, The Becond National Bank roc- ommended its own lawger, Mr. Josoph P. Clarkson. Mr, Clarkson's first concorn was to ascortain whether tho MoKay hoirs could prove that the tranefor of Robinson’s cortificaten of purchase of tho Hyde Park property was in the nature of security, and not an absolute con- voyanco of the feo. It was romombored that Robinson had o sistor who had romained faithe ful to hor brother during his trial, and who might have knowlodgo of his trausactions with Hoxio, Aftor considerablo search throughout tho couutry, this sistor, Mrs, Still by name, was found in B8t, Louis, whoro gho was & professed spiritualistic modium, though & well- educated woman, and was practicing as a physi- cian and living in very straitened ocir- cumstances. When Mrs. Btill was found, she told a straight-forward etory, alloging that the property had ‘boen transferred to secure Mr. IToxic againat any loss that he might inour from Robinson's suspected defaleation. She said that +| atter Robinsen's acquittal of the oharge of mur- dor, Hoxie, Robingon, snd Mrs, Still wont to Connoctlout, It waa hioro that the transfer was made, immediately beforo Robinson loft for Toxag, Mra.

THE GAMBLERS OF CHIOAGO, In 1872, tho Logislaturo of Illinols passed an act to provent and punish gambling. The not waa short, sharp, and declaive, as follows : ‘Whoover keops a common gaming-houso, or, fa any bullding, booth, yard, or gardon, by him or his agont usod and occupled, procures or permita any persons to frequont, or to como togother to play for money, or ollior valuablo thing, at any gamo, or koops, or suffors tobo kept, any tablos or othor apparatus ‘for the pur- poso of playlng nt any game or sport, for money or othior valuablo thing, shall, upon conviction, for tho first offonso bo finod not loss than $100, snd for (ho aocond offenso bo fnod not loss thnn $500, and bo jm- prisoned in tho County Jafl not loss than six months, and for the third offense shall be fued not less then $500, and be §mprisonod in tho Penitontfary not less than two years nor more than fiva years, Undor this act, tho Grand Jury ono yoar ago indicted ono A. L. Btevens, who, according to the ovidence, was found “dealing” at o gombling-table whore & number of porsons wore playing. It was also proved that o *“dealor” was essontial to the game, Tho dofonao proved that Btovons wae not an owner or propriotor of the gambling-houso ; was not interestod in tho profits, and was only hired at £252 woelk as-a dealer. Tho Court beld that the nccusod was, in contemplation of the law, the *‘ keopor of a com~ mon gaming-table," and Btovons was convicted. An appeal was taken to the Supremo Court, aud heard at the Juno term, 1873, Tho Buprome Court, all tho mombors present and none dig- sonting, have affirmod tho judgment of the Oriminal Court of this county. We print the opinion oleewhere in Tie Trinuns this morning. As the act of 1872 ropoaled all previous lawa of this Btato on this subject, tho gamblors of Chi- _cago had high hopes that this law was so dofec- tivo that they would have uorostrained license to carry on their business. Thoy arguoed, and wero 80 advised by their lawyers, thot to bo a “keopor™ of n common gambling-house ro- quired that the porson charged should bo the owner, lessco, or propriotor, or intercsted in tho profits of tho buslness, and that no porson hold- ing tho relation of an employe or servant conld bo held to bo the kosper, All thot was necessnry, then, to evado the law was to have the house oporated by other porsons than the ownor, lesaee, proprictor, or interested parties. It will be soon that the Bupremo Court dis- poscs of this doctrine very summarily, - It do- olnres that the word * keopor” doos mot neces- aurily imply either ownorship or participstion in the proflts, and that it was sufficlont that the sccusod had tho goneral superintendence and charge of the gamiug-house, and of tho gaming carried onm, to make lim responeible ns tho keepor. The Court, in illustrating the law applicable to theso facts, rofors to tho responsibility of tho ownors or lessces of premisos used for houses of proatitution. The landlord who has knowl- odgo of the uses to which his proporty is kept, the Court holds, ** may woll bo called the keeper of acommon bawdy-hcuee,” and may bo indicted and punished as such ;"ana the lossce may bo Jolned with the lessor in the indictment. Nextto tho gambling-housos, theso other houses, rentod: at exorbitant rates with a knowledgo of tho pur- pores for which thoy are to bo used, are the great ovils of socioty, sud furnish to the Graud Jury s large flold for thoir inquiries_and for their action. But this decision is directly applicable to the gambling-houses, and there is no reason why these ostablishments may not all be effectually closed by the continuous indictment, conviction, and punishmont of every man found in any of these establishment acting as owner, propriotor, lossce, lossor, denlor, manager, controller, or rogulator of the gamos, togethor with gamblers snd spoctators. ‘Tho police know overy proprie- tor, overy lasaee; evory partnor, aud overy deal- or in this city.
