Bno of thio grontost farcos that a Polico Tustics evor hnd to do with was oxploded by Justico Boydon at the Houth Bide Polico Conrt yestor- dny morning, It scems that the polico authori~ Aloa of the South Sido havo for somo dnys past boen concontrating tholr offorts upon n very angorous yonng person, * Tda Bobor" by name. Tho objoct of thoir #o doiug thoy claim to bo tho ponfirming of n susploion already formed that this intorosting young poreon, Yho ia » tolorably good-looking brunotts, wAS tha wifo, or at loast "o mistress, of the thief Dunn, who was then suspocted of belng, and hag sinco boen arrosted ms, the main loader of tho robbors who rolleved Androws' pawn-shop of quantity of watchos, tho other evening. 'Thoy ~woro sware of tho fact that tho brunotto wasliv- ing st the bunrdlnfi-hm}au No. 643 Wabnsh ave- o, and accordingly ordored OMoer Van Viierden to shwdow ber for o fow days, : That officer doubtless Lhou¥ht that to not_tho part of an Iko Moservo for & fow daya would be Proferablo to patrol duty during such woathor ns ‘provailed recontly, and ‘uterod upon his job with praisoworthy slacrity. Hoving Tollowea tho ‘Drunectto on several oconsions, ne Lo enys, to awhoro eho ontored a notorious house of nuslygna- tion on Twelfth strect, ‘tho nstuto of- como to tho conclusion that slfo wne o prostitute, This fact the officor communicated to the lady-propriotor of tho AWabnslh avenuo boarding-house, who dis- cbarged hor boarder incontinontly, Tho Drunotto then took up her quarters in o bonrd- ing-houso at No. 2 Park row, and thither Van Viiordon followed hor, Hore, in obedience to justructions, the officor becamo a tomporary Yoarder, ami, making o contldant of tho lady of tho houso, told hor of the object of Lis stay, and domanded her nssistance to corner the girl. Tho moment ho ohoss to accomplish this objeck hinppened to bo at o timo whon Lo know slio was 4n hor room withayoung gentloman, andwhenho had suspicions that one of tho lcmihlg shyators of the cfiy, who hind sneaked into the liouse un- observed savo by his vigilant oyo, was tryiug to offoct an entrauce iutoher chamber. _With theaid of tho landlady, the ofiicer succeoded in ontoring tho room next fo that ccoupiod by tho brunottc and her friond, and hero Lo listoned intontly to what was going on, By dint of tho assistanco of the bired girl of the hiouso, who pretonded tb:'nt she wanted to put somo coal in the brunoite's xooum, the oficer Buccoeded in' gotting sn en- trance thoreto, and in_srrosting the occlapuuts who proved to bo “Ida Bebor” and tho young follow who was with hor, After "nltornato turoats sud porsuasions, the souplo wore removed tosthe Armory, and thero the singular part of tho story begine, Instend of tho ofticer's {:elug gont back to his patrol-duty, a8 would naturally bo expocted, his superiors al- Jowod bis heart to relent, and Lo was givon timo o hunt up old Dan Wobster to bail the couplo put, He scoms to have had froquent intorviows with the pair sinco, at which he urged them tp plead guilty of tho chargo of disordorly conduct ut _opposite their usmes in the rocord. Evhuflmr or not the officor hadsinisterintentions, In ingisting on nttending to tho cneo after it bad passed from his hands it 18 lard to eay, but tho simplo fact that be intercsted himself in the matter so_grently bus o tendency to raiso o sus- picion that there may bo considerable truth in o nssertion of the counsel for the dofenso, made in Court, that the officer tried to blackmnil tho father of tho young man; it ho induced the latter to givo & falso name when Le arrested him, in order to ro- jain & lold upon him, and stated that if ho sleaded guilty at the trinl but » nominal fine Fould be imposcd, and the thing could be kept uist 8 far a8 ho was concernod.

The young man acknowledgod anving viaited the brunctto at her rogmat both boarding-Liouses, but denfed any improper inti- macy with her. Justico Boydon secordingly die- iharged both prisonors, and thoy loft Court- to- othor. Thus tho South 8ido Polico Court lost 0 sorvices of 2 patrolman for nearly & weok, ko amount of his board at a Park row board- ng-house, and have * to show for it joly tho racord of two discharged de- ‘ondants, I the South Side polico are lotormined to follow up the movements of every romsn 1n the neighborhood, there will very soon 0 hardly o patrolman left on a bent, and thoe Innneinl skill of p Hayes or tho economy of au D'Hara will not bo abla to pay thoincreased bill, Now, whilo the polieo olatm that **Ida Sobor™ {8'a woman of lonso charactor, hes counsol, Alr.

Dr. T the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bm: Originally, no donbt, Justicos’ Courts were intonded for tho protoction of the citi- zen in his 1ifo, liborty, and proporty ; for the pur- pose of gecuring him domestic penco and social ‘happiness; and adjusting in & choapand sum- mary manner the potty difforences that arise be- tweon man and mon in their daily transsctions and intorcourso with onch other. The prosent modo of carrying ont that design scoms strange {ndeed, and these tribuuals, far from boing, as intonded, the Avgus-cyed snd Briarcus-armed guardiang of tho citizon's penco and happi- ness, scom to be enginoes of iniquity and injus- tlee, dispensors of corruption ‘and immmorality, ‘brecders of strife and contention, and promotors of disturbanco and disorder, And yot tho design 18 good, and the systom is quito equat to the do- sign; but it is the haman apparatus engaged in the working of the maclino that is faulty, No ‘mattor how admirably-devised an institation may Do, it will fail to subsarvo thu objest of its oroa- tion if the humanity of which it is wrought bo unsound; and ita result will be good only in pro- portion to the goodness of its compouition, I say, even st the Tisk of incurring thoir dis- pleasuro, that certain Justices, mock-lawyers, bogus aud can;xipt Constablos, professional ju- rors, and bribod witnosses, who- dily play thieir respootive parts to the groat edification of tho idlors that throng tho tomples of 1\mtlrm< lievede~ En\dofl this systom down to a lovel with their own ad charactors and turned the administration of justice into a judicial farce. Ido mot, however, inean to bring s swoeping charge agalusy ail of the Justices ; these romarks are not intonded for such mon as Scully, Hinedale, and a fow others, who, lot it be eaid to their credit, are not only just and upright themsolves, but- on all oe~ ions discounteuanca the knavery of the shyster and tho exaotions of the Constable. ‘Thoy aro not of that number who, for the poso of inducing partios to bring suits in their Courts, right or wrong, decidein favor of the plnlnlm', unlese provented by achange of venue.

Causes are decided by favoritism, bribery, and back-stairs intriguo, and evory day furnishes some freal illustration of thoir tyranny snd opprossion. A party gots judgmont for $100, and the wholo amount is gobbled up by Justice, shyater, and Conatable in payment of illegal costs and exorbitant fecs,—a Constable charges ¥ for the service nnd roturn of a writ of roplovin, whon the law ouly allows him G0 cents; & plain caso is lost through o packed jury; s servant ghil ia chonted out of her_ bardly-earned eavings; a poor widow is made victim of misplaced confldonco and robbed of hor littlo property through the machinations of Justice, shyster, and Constavle, and 8o on ad libitum, Yot uothing isdone to arrest this tide of iniquity. What is everybody's business i» nobody's business, and everybody imagines him- aelf to bo nobody; 8o that these nofarious prac- ticas are encourngod by the very apathy and in- differonce of the public, and tho Justice, shyster, and Coustablo plunder with impuunity. 1t is questionnblo whether, on tho whole, tho system ng it is now worked bo not productive of more ovil than good. Such is tho dread imparted to gomo poopls by past exporience, that thoy would much rather endare o wroug than to ap- pepl toa Justice Court for redress, But who will, und what meaus should be used to, remody .1 the evil? Tho public lins the solution'of tho problom in itself ; further logislation is unnec- essary, tho statuto-book affords ampla means of redross, and tho uso of these means will ef- foctually removo the ovil. Let tho pubho ‘be- ‘Wwaro of’ ah?'ulora. and not vontare asingle case in any of thoso Courts without having previons- lfinmermnud tho charactor of the Justice, Lot the younger mewbers of the legal profession form a sort of vigilance committeo to keep a closo watch on the “obnoxions Courts and their linugers-on, and prosecute to $ho bitter end thoso whom they dotect practicing any frand or imposition ‘on the citizon; lef them do tma nmot only as = safoguard o the public, but as & means of protection to themsolves againat the monopoly of businoss upon which they must in n great’ measuro de- pend by men who aro either not attorneys st all or balong to the shyuter confravernity; lot tho honest Constable do likewise for similar ren- -song, aud tako care of their dishonst brethren and bogus friends; let the attorney lend his aid to tho Constable and tho Constable” to the attor- noy; and ere long courts will bo purged of un- consoionable Justioes, unsorupulous shysters, unliconsed attornoys, corrupt and bogus Consta~ bles, profossional jurors, and bribod witnesses, ‘This system _will “thon and not till thon be cloansed of its corruption, and answer tha'pur- oses for which it was dofigned.
