Judgo Cravens rofused to hiear tho motion 1o adjourn, snying tho doath of o thousand mon shouid not intorfere with tho court, WIHO WERE FREZSENT. ‘When the shooting was dona thore wore in the bank a Mr, Rittonhouse, of Indianapolis, cou- nectod with tho grocory-house of Robertson & Porry: Lafo Buir, Mr. Corwin's pattner in o spoko and bub factory, nnd young Howolls, Mr. Corwin's clork, When Mr. Stilwoll ontered, Alr, Buur and Mr, Corwin_wora convorsing over the countor, whilo Mr. Rittonhouse and Ilowells wore writlug at a stand belilud ® woodon parti- tion which oxtonds scross the room to nearly its ontiro width. 3Ir, Ritteuhiouso snys that when Billwell enmo in ho anid nothing that he (Ritten~ liouse) heard, but that his attontion was first at- tracted to tho two mon by hearing Corwin cry out, * Don't shoot, Tom," and climbing ovor tha counter, Mr. It, thought they wore fooling, and wag only nroused to tho truo conditlon of affairs by lmurzng Btilwall’s rlatul go off oloso to Cor- win's log, nud whilo tho lnttor was grasping Stil- well's plstol-band. Corwin then grasped Stil- woll's coat collar with his lett hand, swuug him oround so that tho sido and back of his Load wero nearost to him, and ' DELINERATELY SHOT NI TWICE in the back of his hoad, both balls coming out near the junction of the nose and eyes. , Corwin then let go his victim, who foll to the floor, dead. Mr. Rittonhoueo was, at first, ns moy well bo supposed, terribly frightened, and ran out of the room and ncrows tho stroot, laborlug for somo moments under tho impression that Lo himsolf had beon shot. IIe then thought to return and saitn possession of tho books and papors, which te did beforo tho orowd gathered. Mr, Burr's account of tho shooting ia materinl- ly tho same as tho ono given, savo that ho Is un- dorstood to have roported that when Col, 8til- well ontered tho room ke enid to Corwin 3 “Lot's ¢attlo that difiiculty botween ug now,” or some- thing ta that offeck. Tho boy Howells could not be found after the shooting up to the timo your correspoudont loft, INTERVIEW WITH 3. CORWIN. When your corrna?lnndunt loft tho rosidence of ol stilwell, it was Iua intoution to sock an in- torviow with Mr, Corwin, but the one that he finally did have with that gontleman was undet far difteront circumstances than'weroa thought would surround it. After shooting Col, Btilwell, Mr. Corwin put on his hat and walled ovor to tho court-room, where ho gave himself into the custody of Sheriff Ross, Ho was found walk- ing up and down the narrow space allotted to the clork, immedintely to the right hand of Judge Cravens. When asked to state what Col. Stilwell hind enid upon entering the room, ho shorply asked tho correspondent why ho wanted to know, Mr., Corwin was told that he wanted to know for tha ronson that ho ropresonted the Indianspolis Journal, and was eundoavoring to got at the whols truth ih tho matter. Where- upon_Mr. Corwin bitterly assailod the corro- spondent for misroprescuting him in the dispatch of yosterday, and stated, sa his belef, that ‘it had incited Col. Btilwell to the desperate attempt to murder him, which had reshited in his own death, [In his Mr. Corwin did the corraspondent groat in- justico, and attached undue iailuence to the dize atch, Tho statements made theroln wore nsed upon intorviows with soveral poisons in Aunderson fully conversant with tho wholo difil- culty betwesn himself and Col, Stilwell, And it is woll known that over eince his arreat the late tor considored 3Mr, Corwin respousible for its procurement, aud has openly stated it & number of éimus.] MMr, Corwin was vory much sagitated, an ATMOST WILD gt the thought of what ho had done; butin Lroken bits of talk 1 snid that when Stilwell en- tered the room he advauced with his pistol aud gaid: ** G—d d—n you, Ccrwin, havo you had cuough of this thing ?"or, * Iy this af un end batweon va?" Mr, Corwin not being cortain whiclk, He roachod over the counter with his hends, erying, * Don't shoot, Tom; don't shoot[” and caught the Colonel's pistol band. He then climbed over the couuter, the Colonel endenvoring to get bis weapon in range to fire, Finally the Iattor did firo, the ball going~ through Corwin's coat-skirts aud pantaloons into his loft hand pocket, Whero it encountered a londfull of keys an: coing, which prevented it from penotrating tho fleals, The ball struck the stem of . door- key, and was pounded out of all shapo by the contact, Mr, Corwin found the ball whon féel- ing for the wound, being undor the impression, for some minutes, that he was really shot, He sald that, after fiting the first shot, Col. Bhil- well struggled to free his hand, and thon, find- ing that 1t was ., EITHER IS LIFE OR II8 ADVERSARY'S, . 14 drow his own rovolver and firod. What tho effect of tha ehiot was le did not know, or scomod not to' know, for ho snid to the corre- spondent, * Thoy say lie is dead; but, my God, that cannot be!' When told that it was true, ho said that he had been expecting this en- counter for two years ; that his friends had re- cently told him to go armed to moet Col. Btil- ‘woll, a8 the latter had threatened to shoot him on sipht, Ifo was in much anguish of spirit over tho droadful result, but inquired : * What wag I'todo? 1 only thoughtof my wife and childron in tho struggle. Ol it is torrible, the thought of killiug a manl” Mr. Corwin said that ever sinco ho hod been in Anderson thers had been a determined opposition to him, which mauifesteditself in muny unpleasant ways, Ho #2id it seemed to bo founded on the fact that ho was on Eastorn man, and that local prejudico obtainod against that claus, Mr. Corwin's mental condition was such that an attempt to talk with him was out of the question, and 1t wua rolinquished. Boon after lenving him the correspoudent was informed that e hod been committed to jail to await tho verdict of tho Coronor's jury and the result of tha preliminary examination. TUE FEELING IN THE COMMUNITY. Your corgespondent had but litile opportunity after tho shooting to sound public soutiment, but from tha expressions e heard he s satwe fied it is vory largely with tho deceased. It was stated tbab tho conduct of Corwin was euch as to drive Col. Stilwell to the commission of the doed, which cost bim his life. Binco tho suspension of the bank, Col. 8til- well has been regarded as insane by his frionds, and they look upon his attempt to shoot Corwin a8 tho work of disordorod mind. Col. Stilwell leayod o wifo and six childron—four danghtors and two gons—Lo mourn his torrible douth, Ha carriod $55,000 insurance upon bhis life, though in what compauies could not bo learned.

Lively Session of the Committee on Police, The Question of Hickey's Confirme- tion Freely Disoussed: It Is Claimed tho Americaiis Should Have One Captain. Hickey May Go Back if Buckley Is Reduced. The Committee Stands Two to # Two. The Propriety of *‘ Pulling " Considered, Commissioner Sheridan Explains the I'rés- ent Practice. He Is Opposed to Indiscriminate Ar- rests. B The Councll Committes on Polico mot at the City Clork’s ofico yosterdny to considor the various roferonces mado. It was undorstood that thoy would take up tho nomination of Capt. Hickoy, and honee thero was quite a orowd of people in the Toom. Ald, Schaffngr prosided, and there woro prosont Ald. Richardson, Murphy, and Mabr, of the Committeo ; Police~ Commissioner Bheridan, City-Attornoy Jamiec- gson, and Ald. Dixon, Corcoran, Warren, Btone, Sohmitz, Hildroth, Cleveland, White, aud Stout. pcst st PAY OF DETECTIVES, The Chairman said tho first thing to be dis- posed of was tho resolution of Ald, Richardson prosentod to the Councll Sopt. 29, directing tho Doard of Polico to Incronso tho salaries of the deteotive force, tho money to bo taken from the socrot-gervico fund. . 1d. Tichardson understood that the Polico Department bad not yot been wholly reorganized by the Ymannl Administration, and ho thought it should bo permanently organized before any aotion was taken. BIENTDAN EXPLAINS. Commigslonor Sheridan snid some of the de- tectives, who woro_considerod inefileient, bad been displaced, and othors putin their positions, If action wore taken now, it would create a con- flict. It was not fair to give extra componsation to ineflicient men for thoir servicos. The Chairman asked if tho dotectives received $1,200 & year now. Commiesioner Shoridan roplied in the aflirma- tive. ‘Phare was; somo trouble about it at first, Au application was made to the Council for extra pay for roundsmen, but the Council refusced to mako nn appropriation. Subsequently the Su- porintendant_ (Washburn) came into the Board and_sought Zto divert from the secret-service fund 8100 additional pay for oach of the thirt; roundsmen ho had appoifited. Ho (Shoridan told him that that was in direct antagonlsm witl the action of tho Council; that tho Council bav- ing rofusod to increase their salary, the Board was not at liberty to do it out of tho aecrot-ser- vico fund. = ‘The Chairman asked if tho roundsmen re- ceived extra pay. Commissioner Bheridan said¢ they. did not. The Superintendent sought to obiain it for them, but he (Sheridan) held that the action of tho Council was binding. He urged tho pay- ment of $1,200 to the dotectives, which they hud been rucoivmf for ’yams, and Washburn was of opiuion that it could not be done, ou the samo ground that it was refused the roundsmen, However, ha (S8heridan) got Corporatiou-Counsol Tuley’s opwion, and, a8 it comoided with his own, the dotectives got tho increnss and their back-pay. ‘I'he resolution was temporarily laid over. — OAPT. HICKEY, The Clhinirman remarked that thé next thing in order was the Mayor's communication nominat- ing Michael O, Hickey as Captain of Police, to succeed Louis J, Lull. Ald. Richardson movedjthat the Committeo re- port in favor of confirmation, H QUITE OUT OF ORDER. - Ald, Mabr understood that Mayor Medill had' rowmoved seversl Captaing and Sergeants unlaw- fully, aud there was & dwposition now to pub thom back in their old places. If such were tho case, ho would moye that Capt. Hickey be rein- stated and Capt. Buckloy bo ‘¢ promoted™ toa Borgeantey. He thougkt that that was no more thau fair and right. ‘ T'he Chairman decided tho motion to be out of ordar. There was but one question bofore them ¢ Shall Hickey be confirmed? Thoy bad no right to adopt such & motion. \ Ald. Mubr insiatod that they had. The Chairman said neither the Committeo nor the Council had any right to reiustato an ofilcor, or reduce unothor in rank. The request cauld be made to the Board of Police to do it, L1Z71B MOORE NOT UNDER INVESTIGATION, Ald. Richardson had heard of only one thing sgainst Hickey; that was thoe Lizzio Moore rob- hery. 1t Hickey wore reiustatod, any one who wunted furthor light could prefer chargos against lim and have them investigated. Ho was not a eity ofiicor now, and his conduct in that caso coutd not bo looked into. ‘The Chairman asked if the mattor been examinad by the Board. A Comuissioner Blieridan replied that no charges had been proferred against Hiokey. Tho Chairman wang under the impression the Board hud investigated the case, BUERIDAN GIVES BOME FACTS, Commissioner Sheridan said not formally. Ho would stato the facts. Mr, Mason and Mr. Wright asked Capt. Hickey to como before the Bonrd ono evening, and rurwuuted him (Sheri~ dan) aldo to bo present. ‘Thoy questionod the Ouptain, and it wos found there was a difference of opiuion betwgen him and tha Superiutendont, and the noxt moining tho Oaptsin, sooner than submit to decapitation, which was a foregone conclusion, wont to the Mayor and tendered his rosignation, There was no iuveatigation, and no oharges of suy kind were preforred againat im, Ald, Mahr inquired it the case had not been sgottled, Commissionor Bhoridan #aid it had, and the Court rofused to ask the questions thoe President of the Board of T'olica had insisted upon havivg answeroed. WAIT TILL NE GETS DACK. Ald. Richardson remarked that the mntter could never bo investignted until Hickoy was ity official. Whon he was In oftice, if any one had doubts about the Sgure the Captain out in the case, chsrges could bo proferrod and the facts olicited. Commissioner Bherldan—01 coutwo, ‘ BOIA¥FNER ON NATIONALITY. The Chuirman doslrod to oxpross his viaws, Porsonally he was vory friendly toward Capt. Hickey, but he kad slways deoprecated tho nomi- nation of mou on account of their nationality. Any one who was o oitizen was entitled to hold oflice, but it could not be denled that natiouali- ties bad been tov much aonsidored, ‘T'here way a Gorman Captain, aud & orish Captain, and yot it was sought to put another Inslunan in’ns Captain. 1o held that the native Americans had some rights whioh naturalized citizens were bound to respect; that tho natives were entitled to ono Captain, He was in favor of rostoring Uickay to his old position, as it was alloged eox- Mayor Medjil had wroogtully removed him, Ald. Mol romarked that’ thut was tho point he tried to got out, & 'LET BUOKLKY G0 DOWN. The Chaivinan would not oppose the restora tion of the old stuta of thiugs, if it wua thought M. Medill acted unwisoly and uuju“l{- Hickoy yhould be put where hio was bofore, It was cor- tainly doiug no wrong to Capt. Budkley, who wag prnmuffld in consequence of the alloged wrongful sab of ex-Mayor Medill, in insisting upon the removal of Capt. Hiokoy, It the ua~ tive element undertook to upgu nt three Cap- taing thero would bo a howl and a vry of Know- Nothingigm ; and if anotber Irishman were put in, e thought the Americuns would have guod cutike to ory oub against forelgn i{now-Nothinglsm, Mayor Colvin,he understood from the press, had stated that be nover would appoiut Cupt. fuukoy to oftico #0 long us hiscan- neuvtlon with the Ligkle Moore robbory wus iin- explained, The fuct that he had appolnted him wae evidonco that It had boen explained to Ald, Blokatdion suggeated thut Hin Honor be ‘had not callad in, that the Committeo might loarn what ho had to say about it. MANN EXPLAINS, J Ald, Mahr know mclwi, and had sorved undor hibm 08 a policeman, and know_hao was as ablo to il tho Ynslllon a8 anybody, Ho did_not- make s motlon out of disrespeot to him, bocnuse ho wantod to soo bim back in tho placo e had wrongfully beon deprived of. INTENTIONS OF TIE IOATD, Ald, Dixon asked if tho Bord of T'olico, whon tho Captnin war conflrmed, hind not power to ro- inktate him in his old position, Tho Chalrman—Yos ; restors him to his old osition, and put Duckloy on the Wost Bide, Itnt, ho understood, was thoir intention, OALL IN TII MAYOR, Ald, Riohardson moved that the Mayor be ro- quoated to como heforo the Committee and mnke an oxpinnation of the Maora caso, which ap- poured to have been fixed up to his satisfaction. ‘e Borgeant-at-Arma wns sent after Ilig Honor, but returned without him, Ald, Sohaftner theu loft the room, Roturning in a fow moments, Lo snid ho had scen tho Mayor, and boon roquested by him to state to the Commillos that tho Board of Pollco hnd told lim that thoy woro satisfied ; that tho mattor liad boen satisfactorily oxplained, and that thoy lind recommended tho rostoration of the Captain 1o the polico forco. In accordauco with their wishos, io had appointed him, That was all ho had tosay. MURPILY APEAKS FOR TRELAND. Al Blm‘:hy conld not sce_why nationality should be brought in. Tho Irishk wore in the minority g0 far as officon wato concorned, whilo the Germans and Amoricans lind thoir full share. He thought it out of place to allude to & man's lliltlvl!%. + Tho Ohairman diffored from him. IIe might e wrong in bis viows, but hae was honost and sincere about it. It was not bocauso Hickey happonod to bean Irishman, or that the nomineo happenod to be Hickey, Io (8chaffnor) was hia friond, and had no projudicts sgainsé nation- allty. Ald, Murphy—Woll, then, nationality ought to bo loft out, Tho Chalrman would bo willing to have it left ogxt 3 but it wae not left out in the solection of oflicers. TEMN LUGGED 1N, Ald, Murphy rotorted thnt if tho samo remarks ‘hiad been made whon Rehm was before tho Coun- ofl thoy would have beon considerod out of place. ‘{/ “ ‘The Chairman dover found any fault. Ald, Murphy had not offéred an objeotion to Illohm or anybody else on account of his birth- place. z Ald. Mabr remnrked that thore was no objec- tion to Hickey 8o far ng he Laow, Ald, Murphy said thero scomed to be, on nc- couut of his nationality. Cuunmnrlnq the Gor- man vote, they ought o have the lion's share. Ald, Mabr would like to see Hicloy reinstated in his old place, and ho thought Schafluor would too. Ald, Murphy wanted to know why they object- ed to the confirmation, Tho question of Bucl loy'a transfor to the West Side was an aftor con- sideration. MIOREY'S FROMOTION, Ald. Richardson—IIas Capt, Hickey been ap- pointed a patrolman ? Commissionor Sheridan—TIe has. Ald, Richardson—When was that dono ? Commigsioner Sheridan—Monday afternoon, Ho was eont out on duty and brought back and mado o Sergeant. Ald, Richardson—The samo day ? Commissioner Sheridnu—Monday, [Taughtor.] That {sall right. It was done on more ocen~ siong than.ooo. Capt. Miller, undor an old Bonard, was reinstated in the same way; 80 was ?“&‘die It vuos within the control, of the Board o do it. s Tho Chairman—There is somo little doubt about when he was appointed. I do mot know anything myself omcinll‘;‘y; but there are rumots that ho was appoiuted Tuosdny, and tho appoint- ment dated Monday, Commissionor Sheridan—Reno swore him in, and tho book is in the office. WAS THE IECORD CORREQT? Tho Chalrman—When wasit? COommisgionor Shoridan—It is dated the 12th. ‘The.record is there and will show it. The Clairman—The statement hos been mada to mo that ho was not made a patrolman and Ser- geant until Tuesday, the 18th. BERQT. MOORE, Commissioner Sheridan—We wero simply wait- ing for ono_thing that was in the way, We hind under advisement the easo of Sergt. Moore, who had been charged with inattoution to duty and inofficiency ; and we sont for him and told him what the action of tho Board would be in his case. And, until his removal, of courso there would not hinve been o \'uclmt){l under tho Ap- Ym riation bill. There had to bo & vacancy, and nformed Sergt. Moore Menday that ho would have to give \\'ux‘ Tho Chairman—Did that vacancy exist, and was it filled by the appoiutment of Ilickey Moun- day; or was thoe appointmout actually made Monday and dated Tuesday ? Commissioner Sheridan (smiling)—We canuot g0 back of the record. The Chairman—We are not talking about tho rocord. I am talking about the facts. A DIFFERENCE OF_OPINION. 1y Commissioner Sheridan—Rono swore him in. I did not eee him do it. That cuts no figure in tho caso, Tho Chairman—But it doos. Commissioner Sheridan—I do not think so, he Chairman—Ho could not be appointed to & vacancy that did not exist, Commissionor 8heridan—Tho vacancy existed. OROSE-EXAMINATION. The Chairman—Did it exist Monday ? ’ Commissionor Bheridan—Wo mado the ¥a- canay, Thy(vs Chairman—Was ho appointed Sergeant ‘Tuesday, and the vacaucy made and the sppoint meut dated Monday ? y Commissioner 8heridan—I did not awear him in. Icanuotssy. Iknow it was ngreed to long ‘bofore. You cannot go back of the record., 1t cuts no figure in the case auyhow, because the Mayor's uppointment would Lo absolute, It is ot necessary, under the Moyor’s bill, that tho nomineo should be appointed Sorgount. Thero was 10 oceasion to resort to subterfuge, because the Mayor's bill is absolute, and gives him tho powor. Bince one of the lowor courts has de- cided that tho Mayor has power to act in the matter, it would bo discourtcous on our pari, perhaps coutompt, to ignore that fact. THUE MAYOR'S BILL, Tho Chairmau—Tho Muyor's bill does not au- thorize him to appoint contrary to law. We muy agsumo that the Muyor hus power to appoint wmetabers of tho polico forco, but, atter all, ho has to do it In accordance with' tho charlor—the power croating the Police Department. Commissioner Shoridan—If that 1a so, I would like to know what porliovs, if any, of the char- tor hiavo boen ropealed by the Mayor's bill, and what poxtions, if any, aflmccd in aboyaunco, If nouo bave been repealed or placed in aboyance, then both the Bosrd and the Mayor are hends of the Department, knd oach independent of tho other, ‘T'ho Chalrman—I don't want to discuss thac question, Commnissioner Bheridan-—~I have given tho matter some nttontion, and have neked some of the best mon in the town, and they could not suswer the question, Ifthe Muyor is aoting under tho Mayor's bill, ho is absolute; if undor tho ohsrtor, then hie haa no business to inter- fere 2 RENO MIBBING. ‘The Boruzeaut-at-Arms was dircoted to fic in search of Commissioner Rone, but ho could not bo found becuuse bo purpesely kept out of the way to avoid answering quontions sbout the matier, Ald, Riohardsow'~T m:r]msn Hickoy was ap- pointed patrolmun, and, aftor serving u fow minutes as such, was promoted tg Sorgeant ?

'Thg vote wus—you, Richardson aud Murphy ; m\im, SeliafTuor and Malr, The Chalrman gaid he intondod to submit an advorse report, Ald. Mahr said he voled '"no” because he wanted to nes Hiskey put m his old place, whate he belonged, Ald, Murphy suggestod that the writing of the report he deferred until Monduy afternoou, so that Ald, Oullorion, the other member of the Qommitteo, could uign it.

Richardsou snid the portion of tho May- or's moasage alluded to by tho rowolution ap- oared to Lo blind, and he suggestod that Ilia onor bo sont for to oxplain what ho meaut by "rrovnllln vico." The Chairman bhnd scon the Mayor and hoen told by him that ho had nothing to say on the subject. 1fo thonght Ald, Dixon ought Lo ox- plain, a8 ho offored the resolution, Ald, Rlchardson knew what his (Dixon's) ob- Joot was. Whon ho (Richardson) was a boy, ho used to throw stones into the mill-pond and wateh thoripplos on tho water. Dixon had chucked thia rosolution iuto tho Council to seo what the rosult would be. The Mayor ought to oxi)lnln. 'ho Chairman roported that tho Mayor had nathiog to sny. DIRLOYALTY, Ald. Richardson thought i that was Iiis on. or's position—if Lo did not care enough nbout it to explnin—the resolntion ought to be placed on file. Mo did not bolieve it to be the duty of tho Committeo to study out tho hiddon menning of the mossage. v Ald, Dixon remarked that the Mayor rocom- mounded that somo action bo taken regarding it. Tho Chairman—What do you nllmrn to? Ald. Dixon—What His Honor alludos to about cortain praotices which nro carried on, and thoir, prohibition in the future, I want him to come n and oxplain, Ald, Malir did not think any action was neces- BOTV. Ald, Dixon—Did the Mayor mnke a misstato- mont as to somothing ? Tho Chairman—aAs to what ? TOTAL IGNORANOE, Ald. Dixon—As to what he says in his commu- nieation, ‘Tho Obairman—Do not bont the devil around the stump, What ia it that you undorstand he s alluded a8 being & ' barbarous practico in nddi;“g o fow paltry dollars to the Clty Trens- ur; Ald, Dixon—TI am in tho ssme box with tho Dalonce of tho Committee. I don’t kuow what he alludes to. The Chplrman presumed he alluded to the practico of “pulliug® houses of prostitution, and fining the inmates, and permitting them to roturn to tholr old habits. Had Commissioner Bhoridan anything to say on tho subjoct? YEB, IIE NAS, Commissioner Bhotidan had something to ray. The manner of doing polico business, at least for tho past yoar, liad been barbarous in its nature. Thoro had boen a wholosalo and indiscriminate system of arrosting without warrant of law, with the connivanco of tho Superintendent of Polico, and tho Chief Magistrate of the city, for some of the orders,which weut to a great leagth, emanated from the Mayor's own offico, and he (8heridan) had knowledge of them somo timo ‘Defore thoy woro publirbed. N Tho Ohsirman neked if ho meant ordors for the * pulling” of housges, PREVALENT ORIMES, Commigsioner Bheridan did not understand that the Mayor slluded to suy particular crimo, bus the prevalent erimos—crimos that had pro- vailed for ages, and whioh novor bad been extir- pated, For justance, & man n littlo drunk on tho stroot, who was making his way home,— perhaps e was a workiogman, after a.hard weok's work, with a little monoy about him, feoling weary and worn out, and ho Jhad token o drink ; bio was mot by a policomnn, who, instesd of helping him on his way, arresfed and locked. im up, The next morning all his week’s wages wero taken nway to pay the fino assessed, nud his family left iu = dostitnte condition. That had been done, and tho systom was encouraged by Mayor Medlll and Suporintondont Washburn. Other things wore induiged in,—the indiscrimi- nate pulling of Louses supposed to be gaming louses; ax and sledge-hammor and crowbnr brigades were orgauizod, and doors wero broken opon without warrant of law, and tho inmates arvested. The polico business had been a rulo of barbarism), and he thought Mayor Colvin was right, As proof, ho would stato that under Ieunnedy's administration only 4 per cent of the Eursnna arrosted wore discharged !g the Polico [ogistrates ; under Wasbburn's and Medill's ad- ministration it rose to 40 por cent. Tho last an- nual report of Kennedy showed 21,000 arrouts, ‘The firat roport of Washburn showed 81,000—an incraaso of 10,000 in one year. IT USED TO DE B0, Ald, Mabr asked if policomen were not re- quired by the law, whon they met a drunken man, who was able to tell whero ho lived, to toke him to the next, and hand him over to anothor policeman, and 8o on until lo reached bhis homa, It used to bb 8o when he was oo tho polico, and he bolieved tho books had such o rule ; that o policeman hiad uo right to arrost a man and lock him up if he were ablo to tell the number of his houso, and the strest it was on. EXPERIENCE TEACHES, Ald. Dixon—If o man drinks the whisky sold sround the City Hall he couldn't do that. Commisionar Shrridan said it was the police- man's duty to do 80, and it was capecially insist- ed upon by the Board, Not only that, but if a man wero found on the sidewalk incapable of giviuq an account of himeelf, * tho policomen had orders_to take him to the station for proteotion and loave him thore, without locking him up, until morning. Fhint is, it he were a respactable man, and 1ot o bummer or & uotorious charactor. The wholo system was changed now. Thoy had fallen back upon bu- mane principles, 110V CHICAGO STREETS ARE PAVED. Ald. Richardeon remarked that it was a noto- rious foct that, » nuwber of years awo, the stroots wero raised aud paved with monoy as- possed a8 flues egalust the keopors of ,bousos of prostitution. Tho prac- tico of fining bLad been continued over Rincs, and the monoy went into the goneral fund, It was simply licousing the houses. The Mayor probably bad that ides, snd wanted to stopit, If tho inmates and kuururu weroe sont to tho Bridewoll, prostitution would be to a gront extent wiped out. It could not be doue by im- pouing fioes, Tho Police Justices assumed the power to send them to the Bridewell, and there was no decision to the coutrary, Boyden and Beully were sonding the women thore now, and tho lieopors of some of the Louses had promised to shul up their shops. Ald. Dixon said tho Btato law required that the rovanue derived from this source should be distributed amnong tho charitablo institutions of tho city. But for tho lust two yoars they had not recoived a cont. Why was this so? Thero must bo #omo of the monoy in tho ‘I'reasury, and it should bo Leadod ovor to the inatitutions. ‘They wore lod to boliovo tho Modilllan adminis- tration lind not dono {ts duty i arresting the inmatos of the Lousos. Tho Committes should report to the Council what had boon dono with tho money roceivad, and alko an ordinance pro- vonting ralding in the (uture. BULT THE JAYOR. Ald, Richardson asked if ho wanted tho fining atopped. Ald, Dixon replied that the Mayor wanted it stopped. Ald. Richardson wanted to know if he wantad the womon ront to tho Bridewell, Ald, Dixon wished the Committeo to bring in o roport rogulating the matter in accordunce with the views of tho Mayor, Tho Chairman thought ‘tho quostion was: Had tho police authority to go without process of law into a houso whore thora was no disturb- anco, on tho assumption, or with knowledge, that the house was the homo of prostitutes or a gawming-bouso, and srrest tho inmatos? Comnussionor Shoridan said cortainly nat—not with the consent of the Board of Polico, “I'ho Chairmun asked if it hud boon done, . THERE MUNT DK A DISTURBANOE. Conuniesionor Sheridan replied that it hud. ‘Pho Board had advisod that tho police should nob intorforo with the porsons in such houses uuless thoy woro disordorly. ‘Lhere was no jutention to Tot tho men enter tho houses on the mere !mnuxi of looking for disoiderly persons when Loro wan no disturbunce appavent, and thoy nd- vised and Instructed the mon that the better way would bo to have uunulllnlutu made by the noigh- bors, and tho partios summoned to ap- pear nt the Dolico Courts, But the contrary ractico had prevalled, and summary arroats had l"‘“!é'""”’ beon mado, Ho was always opposed o it, : Ald.

Things ran very woll whilo the ordor waa in existenco. Tho Chairman asked if n Captain, without special orders from tho Commissionors, conld arrest any houso lio saw fit, Commissioner Sheridan roplied in the negas tive.

Commissioner Shoridan—To arrest tho disor- dorly person, and lot the other fumntes lone, The Chairman—Tho practico has herotoforo been to arrest all ? Commissioner Bhoridan—Yes, it prevailed to somo oxtent. It was wrong, and did not meet the approval of the Board. The Chairman—ilave you issued a gonoral ordor regarding ‘¢ pulling ?"” Commissioner Sheridan—Tho * Suporintendent has beon instructed how to proceed in theso par- ticular casce.

COommissioner 8heridan—Wo would rathor leave that to tho Justicos. Wo lave advised that all persons of bad habits should be kept off tho streots, The Chairman—What aro the orders to the olico in referonco to, prostitutes who parade ho stroets? Commissioner Sheridan—The men have orders to arrest them if they accost people. Ald, Dixon—As somo of the ordinances scom to conflict with the charter, would it not bo well to repenl them? * Commisgioner Sheridan would not recommond tho ropeal of any of them, Although thoy woro not anforced, thoy were of assistance in protect~ ing policomen, The Chairman—TIt is not oxpedient to onforce them, but 1t is Dotter to keap thom on the stat- ute-boak, in order to protect tho oficers in the dischargo of thoir duty ? Commissioner Shoridan snid that was exactly 80, PUT ON FILE. Ald, Richinrdson moved that the resolution ho put on file, for tho reason that the practico of pulling no longer existed, and there was no ne- cossity for repoiting sunytlung about it to the Council. The motion was agreed to, and the Committco adjourned. THE LIBERAL-MINDED ONES. They Will Accept tho Proposed Suns day Ordinance—Fhe Suits Against '‘Lhem to Bo Quas! About twenty-five members of the ¢ Liboral- Minded Oitizons' Socioty” met yesterday aftor- noon at No. 46 North Clark street, for tho pur- poso of elocting now ofticers. The meeting, af- tor organizing, re-clected their old ofticers by acclamation. President August Korn noxt road a communi- cation from Mossrs. Nissen & Barnuin, tho act- ing attorneys for the Socioty in the liquor law- auits, They stated that thero wore yoi thirty- threo cases pending against membors of the Bociety and others, for tho violation of thoe Liquor law ; that thoy had had a consultation with the City Attorney in rogard to them, who expresgod his willingness to have them all quashed, provided the Soolaty would pay the costs. Thoy, Nissen & Barnum, insisted thot tho city should stand tho costs, but wero suswer- cd that it was unfuir, considering tho city's pros- eut dinancinl troublos, to visit AMayor ‘Medill's gins upon the presont Adminietration. The vt~ torneys, therefore, wonld ask whother the suits should bo quashed or tried boforo the Superior aud Criminal Courts. After rending {he report, Prosidont Korn stated that the maeting ** wos now roady for a motion,” whereupon County Troasuror Miller advised the Bociety to accept tho City Attorney's proposition to “pay costs rather than to lot'the caves go to the Supremo Court, for thoy could get oif with but littlo ox- pense, whorens, iu the supremo Court, thoy ran tho risk of losing much. ' They must do it at all hinzards, for, if they could get the pending suits off their bands, they would not be likely to bo troublod again during the present Administra- tion. A member oxpressod his dissont to tho foregoing advico. Ho was for fighting out at lenst ono oueo before the Bupreme Court, and, by winning 1t, put forever tho quictus upon the Tomperance mon, It was too risky to loave thoir cause to the tondor morcies of o Com- mon Coungjl, though it might bo friendly to thew. Who could tell whethor the Admimstra- tion two yesrs houce would bo as friendly ? Mr, Motz made & motion,basod on Mr. Millor’s opinion, o did not think they nood carry their easo Lo tho Suprome Court, for, on the 4th of November, tho hfl;heue court, tho people's tri- bunal had docided in thoir favor, o was op- posed to any more suits. Why spend monecy and oxposo thomsolvea to the risk of an adverse dacision by tho Suprema Court ? b The Treasurer of the Socioty waa also opposoed to further litigntion, 'Tho Soclety Lud already paid over $2,600 to the lawyers for foos, Aftor some _ moro _ digcussion, the —meoting decided to have tho DProsident ap- point_a commitlco, which should consult with Nissen & Barnum in order to haye nil suits diswissod and costs paid on all lost suits againat mombors of thia Bocioty, but not hofore thio Committee should satisfy itwel? thut such membery wore uot in arrear of their ducs to the Bocloty, * T'he Bunaay question was noxt taken into con- sideration. Tho Prosident's viows wera that tho sottling of this matior should bo loft, for the presont, to tho Common Council. He was in favor of waiting to seo what tho Common C¢ cil would do for the ealoon-keopers of Chic: 1¢ they did not do right by them they would 10- Jjoet tholr decision and coutinuo to fight on until thoy coud get a Bunday ordinanco to suit them, Ald. Richardson aud Brand bad told Lim that tho new ordinonco wonld call for the shutting of doors on Bundays instead of having them locked a8 herotofore. Tho window-curtains were to bo lot down, 8o that churoh goers should not bo shocked by iank(ug into the saloon. Iehoped that in this mattor the Aldermen would scb in conformity with tho spirit of the platform on whioh they were clected, aud that they would keap their promises. At this Juncture an indignant member rose and exprossed his opposition to any new ordi- nanco that lxmucnbed doors closed, wiudows shut, and curtains down, ‘Phat was not what was promised before olection, Ile would just as soon 8it In purgatory us fu his saloon during smmor heat with closed doors and windows, e would uot object to an ordinance prescribing that the saloons should bo closed till 1 o'clock in thio afternoon, while pgople wero at ehurch, but after that they should be ay open as on any other duy. Klr. Motz thuu;zht tuat, judging from the cold snup of the last faw davs, the summer heat would not trouble salooi-keopers very soon, Ho thought thut the Aldermen know us woll as auy one of tho members of the Boojety on what plat- form they were vleoted. 1o would trust to thar good sente, 1Ie was snre that whon summer came, nud the (ity Fathors, from personal ox- perionce, saw to what discomfort s Bunda visitor of the saloon wus subjected, they woul pass & now ordinuuco, but for the prescut he is for trusting them, 3 Mr, Fricdman adyised tho members of tho Boviety not to allow thewmselves to bo caught in ® tyap by tho ol:}iwmomhs, who, while worke iog out & uow yoliame for the rogulation of tho | 3 e Bunday queatior, would herald itto the world that this Bocloty hnd origluated 1t, and don- souted to all its objoctionable points, He wantod tho Liborals to bo on tho watch, They lived in o Republie. They dld not sccopt any Iaws from anybody whatevers If thoy had their saloons open Bun- dny, lot thoso who wont to church keeop out of them nnd shut thoir eyes. 1, B, Miller mald that although this was his firat_appearanco at tho Bocioty's meotings, his honrt was always with them. If the siloon- kaopers found 1 the new ordinance the sub- stauco of what they wanted, why should thoy grasp aftor tho shadow ? Tivon” now nny man could go into o saloon Sunday, snd take hisdrink qulotly without being moleated, Tho spoaker himaolf had done it ropeatedly withont having beon troubled by anybody. “Mr. Colvin wak thoir friond; he had “done much, and would do more yet, for tho ealoon-keopors. Not only the_otdinnnee, but the Btate lnw ro- Inting to tho Bunday question, must bo modifled. They shonld not forget that Mr. ltehm was nlso tholr frien, aud would never enforco any ordi- nauco that was opposed to tho iutercsts of tho suloon-keopors,’ 'Chey should tako what they could got, and rest_ngsured that thoy would ba ablo to keep their doors and windows open, and ourtains up. The Farmors would carry this Btato at tho noxt olection, and the Bocloty should join them in order to bLeat the Temperanco men. ‘T'ho resolution to accopt what tho Common Council was willing to offor In tho shapa of o now Bunday ordinance was finally accun(ml, and, aftor the Lrensuror lind aunonncod that thero waa but £58.80 in the Treasury, and that the noxt meoting would bo held on the second Fri- day in Fobrunary, the liboral-minded cltizons ad- Journed to Jncob Romer's saloon for & liboral drink, The Ohiengo, Burlington & Quincy Rail- rond has the Bunday train out of Chicago for ali points in Nobraska, Colorado, Utal, and Californis, leaving tho Ceutral Dopot, foot of Lako atreot, ut 10 o'lock 8, m,, Bunday, Jan; 18, Through iickots, reading vin the C. &N, W.aud O, R, I & P, Rallroads, will be good on this trajn, AMUSEMENTS, MoVIOKER'S THEATRE, THE STRAKOSCOH ITALIAN OPERA.
