It wiil be remembered that Collector Cleary, of South Chicago, has had considerable troublo in getting tho banks to pay their State and county faxes, and that five of them—the First National, Fourth National, Fifth National, Traders’ Na- tional, and Ceatral National—undertook to onjoin pim from collecting what they owed on this ac- count. Last Saturdsy Judge Llodgett, of tho Tnited States District Court, made an order ro- fasing to grant tho injunction, and sinco then all the baoks have paid their taxes, but under protest.

Thero was & flurry at the Inler-Ocean office sesterday afternoon,feaused by the unexpected end unwelcome amival in the midst of the editorial staff of Constablo McEliigott. Four reporters, three writing-cditors, the staff of proof-readers, tho typos, all rusbed with one ac- cord to the cashicr, anticipating that the long- threatened financial ruin hod come at last, and deciding that to get ahead on the salary due w28 abont tho visest thing under the circum- standes. Mr. Scammon was seea in the bailding Immedietely before the arrival of the unwelcome guest, but, inasmuch as » diligent search of the placo & moment after failed to discover his where- sbouts, and a subsequent going through of tho Inter-Oceanic and Marino Buildings did not dis- cover bis presence, it was shrewdly sarmised that ho had betaken himself to quieter shades for the timo being. But it was ot Alr. Scam- mos that the Constable was after. The person for whom the Covsteble had an interesting legal document in his capacious side-pocket was Alr. Charles Hom, the political editor of the wids spread sheet. Tho Constable sccured bis man, who rosisted but faintly when he saw that the building was surrounded nlg ofticers, and feit the chill muzzle of McElligott's seven- shooter under his eor. There was some talk among tho boys round the cashier's desk of gettiog up » rescue, but no one would officiate s Jeader. Tho result was, that the un- fortunato editor was led throngh _Lako street to Clark, down Clark street to Justice IHaines’ office, which no entered. Daring his_dieagree- able walk the uofortunsio editor had, ;as they say drowning men do, cast his mental éye aver every act of bis life, in order to try snd discover for which of his crimes he had been arrested. Beiog & man of extremely inoffensive nature, he was not ablo to conjure up any oot he had com- mittod which wonld lay him open to the igno- miny of arrest and removal to the bar of s Jusiice. McElligott explained all eoon. His offense was, tho fact of his being employed on the Inter-Ocean, = paper which bad recently, in »most indecent manner, outraged the feelings of o citizen by publishing a libel 0% most pain- ful nature npon his deceased brother. It was in sain that the unforttunste man pleaded that he bad not wnitten thoarticle. Frank Lawler, who bod procured the warrant, was inexorable. The Inter-Ocean hsd defamed the desd and refused to apologize, apd it must be mado to snswer. Eeveral of the stafl of the Inler-Ocean, in turn, tried with tears in_their eyes, to persusde Mr. Lowler to sbandon the case, but their ‘persussions were in vain. He com- miserated Mr. Ham in Lis unfortunats posi- tion, aed would be glad to seo him get bailed out, but the insalt to the dead had to be svenged. In the course of an hour $500 bail was secured for tho prisoncr, and ho was allowed todepert. It scems that tho Infer-Occan myr- midon eecured his information, upon which'he built tho libel, from & boot-black in front of tho Academy of Music, Ile clzims that he can Identify tho boot-black, but the prosecutors of the smit think that in the meantimo they had better hang on to the Inter-Ocean. o F WHAT WILL EE DO ABOUT IT? One of the interesting cases growing oat of Goodricl's fast divorce line came to light yester- dayin a singular way. It scems that sometime In the epring of 1670, Elizabeth Smith, becoming tonviaced that her busband, John Smith, would sither be obliged to give up sapporting tho moant of whisky that ho emptied into himself s7ery day, o elso give up supporting him, con- tinded that the quickest way out of her difficnl- beswas to cecure one of tho patent divorces procurcd without publicity, and warranted to keep in any climate. Sho accordipgly applied to Goodrich for the same, and lie undertook it, and 1s the sequel shows, put it through quicker than John Smith could repeat his own namo. DBut ab this time ihings had assumed another phase in thefamily, Jobn, becoming alarmed and repent- ot at the action of his spouse, protested to ber “that he would herenfter shun the bos] aud conduct himself in s becoming and Hecorous manner. At this promiso the heart of tho wife releated, and she consented to give lum wather trial. Accordingly Goodrich was sought, 1ud 8 $10 bill baving been added to his sccumn- Iationg Ly M. S., Le agreed to stop the euit, Mdthe family peace was restored. Nothing more would ever have been thought of the mat- ter, probably, by either party, since happincss b3 reigned in their bosoms iu tho three or four cars which have sped away Eince then, bad it Dot been that, Laving occasion to dispose o some real estate, Mr. Smith found ! costomer, aud the agrcoment as R Jbrico and ferms was entered wto last week. 1 ouly remained now to procure an abstract of itle, which was yesterdsy morning secared from hmrs. Handy, Bimmous & Co. Upon examina- on, the following strange record was found ereon: “[n the Recorder's Court. Elizabeth T Johu Smich. (nse No. 2,204 Bill for divorco Hled June 94, 1870. Decrec of divorce entored {56 % 1870." Tho premiecs,.. Lots 67 and 63, 1 Jones' gubdisision of Block 9, ero mon- homed m the Lil.” It may be essily imsg- ed that, when Smith read the foregoing ‘surprise was nou trifling. To_find bt enddenly that ho had been uumarried for Dearly threo years, and, moreover, that he ea the Lappy father of geveral children in the and’ that the property which he sup- Posod ke owned in foo simplo could mot Lo doeded awzy, wore announcements coming so fast as to almost deprive him of breath, After he had recovered his oqusnimity somewhat, ho consulted a lawyer, and found that thers were twoways out of the difficulty. He can either bava the deereo set asidoat considerable cost, or be married again to his wife st Justices’ prices, which Iatter i# much the cheapest. It is unde stood thu Lo bas closen tho latter plan, and 3 ya will see tho end of the long - ment. No cards. g Shees —_— CORRESPONDENCE. CHRISTIAN UNION LECTURES. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Brm: I read with much intorest the communi- uth of Mrs. Bwisshelm in Friday's TRInONE, calling attention to the admirable courae of lec— tures now given by Prof. Haven in the Metho- dist Chureh Block, and deprecating the gmall at- tem!.auca a8 Aiud.ic“ing o want of culture and lacki of appreciation on tho part of the Chicago public, and especially the ladies, for whose ben- Bfi.t they aro given in the day time. I do not think mysclf that the small attendance is due somuch to a lack of appreciation 2s to the fact that the character and valuo of these lectures, 28 well as many other things of a similar char- acter, aro not known to the public genorally, and €0 fail of patronage and support. To bring them within the reach of all they are farnished on a somi-charitable bagis—at & price 50 low as will not warrant the expense of ex- tensive advertisement, and go the public at large, for whose benefit they are intended, fails to get any real knowledgeof them, Belonging to tho samo class with the course of lectures tbove referred are bis courso of lessons to the class in English Literature in the Christian Union rooms, Tuesday cvening of each week, and the course of lessons in Astronomy by Elias Colbert, each Wedneaday evenug. Those are of great iutercst to those who sttend—both being complete masters of the subjects they tesch. Prof. Haven's course takes up the standard Kn- glish writors, and treats of their etyle and subject matter in easy, familiar mauner, call- ing out opinionsand views of members of theclass, and makiog its sessions intensely intercsting. Ar. Colbert is well known 28 an enthusiastic stu- dent of astronomy, and devotea his timo to the class out of puro 1ove to tho cause. His course of instruction i easy and simple, free from dry scientific technicalities, which do not attract sy but students, and it can not fail to awaken an in- terest in the subject that will be permauent on the part of all who attend. These classes are intended solely for the ben- ofit of tho people, and the rooms ought to be |. crowded every evening, as I am sure they would De if the matter were fully undersiood by the public. Their privileges aro furnished at a rate that it merely nominal, and within the means of any purson in the city. ill not TxE TRIDUNE help in_the good work which they aro trying to accomplish, by publish- ing this commnnication and thus giving publici- ty to the fact that these opportunttios ate offer- ed to the public of Chicago ox terma which will require no sucrifice on the part of any to avail themsolves of them. 0. €. Grozs. THE RECORDER'S OFFICE. Cixcaao, Feb, 13, 1874, To the Editor of The Chicago Zribune: Sir: Referring to the recent dischargo of fomale clerks in tho Recorder's office, permit me to say that it appears that ou tho 1ith the twenty-four femalo employes of the Recorder's office were notified that tleir services would not ‘e farther nceded for the present. The County Commissioners had provided for this female department two comparers who are on 5 galary ; two othera in that department are paid by thie folio. The reacon alleged for the nccessity of die- Eenaing with their servicesis & lack of funds. Sconomy demands a cutting down of exponses, aad g0 the fernale department is suspended. In viow of this state of facts, how is the end de- sired, viz.: a cutting down of expenses, attained? By discharging twenty-two wommen copyists, who aro paid only for the writing which they actually do, at the rate of & cents per folio. Is the copy- 1ng which thev bave been in the habit of doing necessary? Has the Recorder, out of sympuathy, been compelled to furnish them with fie- titions deeds, or to permit them to duplicate copies, 80 55 o Leep them busy and incresse the folios ? Have any been obliged to remain idle for the want of & bous fide deed to copy, & deed that it is the duty of the Recorder to bave copied ? “I'his is the riddle which appears to me 88 yet unsolved. How are tho interests of economy promoted by the suspension of amplfliea whose Gxpense to the oflice is ooly for work actually done ; for work which must be doue by some one and paid for? ‘There1s no lack of work at the Recorder’s office. if any one thinks otherwisc, let bim carry thoro 2 deod to be recorded, and learn whether or not that deed will be promised to be ready for return under three or four weeks. Thao receipts of the office during theso dull times are sud to averago * only ” 9125 per day, That initself lovolves more copying todoin that office in one week than, by any possibility, the men now eaiwloyed there could sccomplish ‘in a month, This has referenca only to the copying of deeds, which is admitted to be remunerative. What is the difiiculty ? INQUIRER. A CONTRADICTION, . To the Editoy of The Chicago L'rsbunc: Sie: In the city papers of this week thero ep- peared the particulars of & meeting of carpen- ters and joiners, held at Fol:z Hall, corner of North avenue and Larrabee street, and, accord- ing to the pupers, it was & meatiug of the Amal- ameted Carpenters and Joiners. Now, that ociety never had, nor have they now, any con- nection whatever with the Amaigemated Socicty of Carpenters and Joiners which oxtends all over the United States, Canada, and Great Brit- ain, and who hold the meetings of their Chicago branch every alternato Saturday, at 230 and 252 West Twelfth street, and at thaf place only.

John Perry was examined on a chargo of ‘breaking into the clothing storo No. 18 LaSalle street, sod was held to the Criminal Court in bonds of £1,000. John Carey, John Stokes, snd James Eclly wero arrested yesterday by Railroad Police De- tectivo Condwoll on a charge of larceny. They wera taken before Justice Boyden, who con- tinued their case uatil Monday under bonds of $500 cach. “Tho cass against Tim Hickey and E4_ Murphy, who were to have been tried by Justice Boyden vosterday morning, went through, ou account of the absence of Ilickey, who forfeited his bail No one_ appearing against Murphy, he was dis- charged. Morris Wenbury was tried before Justice Scully yesterday morning on a chargo of beimg cruel’ toacow. It appeared thatle beat the poor animal, twisted ber tail, and acted in & manner that brought the police upon him. He was fined §10 and costs. Justico Kanfmann will, this morning, investi- gate tho caseof John Wagmer,n lawyer, who fines his practice o tho_Police Courts, and who is charged with destroying & document belong- ing; to the files of the court. Justico Doyden yesterday sent Hatty John- 500, & young girl destituto of parental care, to the Home of the Good Shepherd. Laura Swan- son, a girl sinularly situated, but of notoriously bad churacter, was sent to the House of Cor- rection. No less than four partics wero brought before Juatice Scully yosterday morning charged with using unsceled and false scales. Thesa wero Leon Lowelchesky, Jamoa Boher, 3ichacl Scud- dcn, and Adam Ophler, all of them rag-gather- ers. Inoneof the cases it required a four- pound weight to bring the scale even, while in Bos othor & throo.pound weight sufficed. Tho first two prisoners were fined £5, Scudden was fined £10, and Opblor was discharged, bo being an old man in bis dotage, and ratlicr a general utility man to his partner than a sharer 1n his business transactions Charles G. Barlow, bookkcepor for the Vossel Ovwners' Towing Compauy, was brought before Justico Scully yesterday morning on & charge of embezzloment. It seems that, in suditing tho books of the Company for the year 1873,s deficit was discovered amounting to $1,290, 2nd the Dockkeoper who was chargod with occasioning the loss, at once confesscd his crimo. ‘Tha case is ome of the many which were bronght to light through the advent of the panic. Barlow was cmployed on a salary, and to increase bis revenuo he opened o siore on tho cor- ner of Western avenus and Leke street. THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1874. The little business wasdoing well,but misfortune came to the proprictor, first in the sbape of an attack of typhold fever, which kept him to_his bed for several weoks ; theu in tho panic, which cramped his mesns so_that he was unable to meet his payments to Field, Leiter & Co.. who removed his goods. Having Do means of re- paying the money taken from bis employers aud put into the unsuccessfal business, the discov- ery of ths ombezzlement wag & mere matter of time, The Company will not loso anything by tho defaleation, as tho defaulter’s bond of 32,000 was sianed by John McLaren, Malcolm McDon- wid, and Witliam cLean, any one of whom is good for moro than its amount. The prisoner Uras beld in bonds of 1,500 to appear at the Crimioel Court. JEALOUSY IN ETHIOPIA. Some excitement has provailed among the col- ored inhabitants of the First Precinct, for some days past, on acconnt of the fact that anotorious flirtation threatened duily to be carried to the courts. The oxcitement culminated at the South Bide Police Court yesterdsy, wher Alexandor Jenkins was brought into court, having been arrosted on o warrant charging him with baving made love, though repeatedly warnod not to do 80, to tho wifo of Jeremiuh Roberts, all colored. The partics had all been intimate friends, and would have remained so bod not Jenkins persisted in_declaring Lis passion to the wife of tho aggrioved party. Roberts thought he could trust bhimself to see that nothing went wrong so long 2s Jenkins confined his love-making Lo overt acts, but when the Iatter took to eeuding his wife letlers throuzh the Post-Office, ono of which began 4 My harto's idollatrie ” sud was fitled with the moat passionate phrases and most vi Oriental imagery, he thought it was time to invoke the aid of the arm of justice. A warrant was pro- cured, ood the Tesult was o scene in court which has not been equaled in this city for rollicking fun of the black description outside of AMyers® Opera-House. It was with the utmost difficulty that Roberts could be restrained from giving Jenkins his mind in open_court, whilo the lady in the caso showered her smiles on hus- band admirer with chorming impar- tinlity. It tumed out in evidenca that the ~real animus of the nrrest was o three-cornered ducl, participated in by hus- band, wife, ond lover, in which the former came out third beat, Tho Justico heard enough ovi- dence to satisfy him that thore was fault on all eides, and fined all the parties, the ovor-gay Jenkins being mulcted in $15; the too jealous Jeremiah iz 85, oud his excessively impartial wWife in 23, a termination of thie caso whiol, it is needless to kny, guve intenae dissatisfaction to all three. PARENTS AND CHILDREN. Justico Boyden held an aftorncon session yes- terday ac which it was in order for parentato clnim tho custody of their children who had vol- untarily lofu_or_been ruthlessly torn from the parental roof. Tho first caso fwas that of Mr Deedy, who eought to gain the guardinns of bLeér son William, & stout lad of 18 years of sage, who hsd loft home and " pereistently staid away for & period of five weeks. Tho lad had had employment for two years in a wholesale liquor store, aud had recently oxpressed his Intention of retaining from bis salary of $4 pér week enough money to urchase him clothes, of which be stood in need. 'his did not please tho Doedys, father and ‘mother, who had beeu in tho habit'of taling all his weokly wages, allowing bim 50.conts pockot- money, and clothing him. ~ A fierce stugglo en- sned between the opposition lawyers in tuo case, and, after bearing tho testimony on both sides, it wae o relief to’ know that tho witneases b not been put under oath. The Justico finally decided thas tho boy was old enongh snd strong enough to tako care of bimself, and declined to interfero in favor of tho pirents, who, ho thought, were actusted by greod for the boy's money rather than apxiety for Lia_spiritual wal- faro, which thoy Lad quite receatly found out was endangered through his being employed in an establishment engaged in tho liquor trade. The other caso was ono in which two frowsy old Ttalians sought to obtain possossion of thres children, who, harpe, fiddles, and all, had been arrested tho day bofore and, locked up in tho Armory a8 vegrants, Tho men_establishod their claim to two of the lads, but tha third, a Dright littlo fellow, Luigi Garigano by name, turned out to be, by their zdmission, ouly o nephew. Tho Ttalian Consul, G. L. Cellz, was present, and explained to the men that thov wouldisve to keop their children from tho strects if they wished them to remain in this country, and after their promisiog to do 80_they were permitted to depart with them. Littlo Luigi, Lowever, was sout to tho Home of the ‘Friendless, whero ho will bo able to make things Lively with his fiddle, aud pro- vido music for any hiops they get up in that es- tablishment. —— THE CITY HALL.

But sour Commit- fee believe that the benefits accraing to the city from a4 Exposition arc so substantial that it is the gener- al wish of our citizens that the time for the removal of £2id building be extended ; and they therefore rccom- Tmend thiat the tmo nomed fu tho resolution pasacd pril 2, 1873, granting permission o erect aid build- inig o8 aforcsaid, be, and the saiae is hereby, extended Toe two years from May 1, 1874, and that said building be permitted to remain until 3oy 1, 187C.

Thomas Ryan, Tat Sullivan, and_John McDonald, the partici- Emza in _the crime, eought a refuge in St. ounig, while Montgomery came to Chicago. It secms, however, that he did not arrive at the date contemplated’ by the officers, and only ba- came o transient guest Thursday.

In ting dilemma, ho imposcd upon the confiding nature of Harvey, who was in- duced to cash a check for $50.

That person had but just emerged from the 12 o'clock prayer-meeting in the Methodist Church Block when the ofiicer clapped bis eyo on_him aud persusded bim to visit tho Union Street Station. While ontlio way to that rotreat the prisoner stuffed bis mouth full of what subsequently proved to be & numbar of bank checks, fllled out for various sums, which he doubtless' anticipated disposing of.

A few citizons of Chicago inquire whother the sidewalk inspectora aroall dead, of do they mercly sleep. if the latter, tho citizens aforessid would like them to wake p and teko s walk on Michigan zavenus, from Randolph to Adams stroets, aad on the north sido 6¢ Randolpbstreet, botween Btate street and Wabesh avenuo, Por- hsps the Eoard of Public Worka can give the Qesired information. The mombers of the Chicago Base Ball Club for 1874 aro expected to arriv e in this city eurly next month. ‘The nssociation has given up all idea of obtaining the Lake Front for s plasing ground, and the old inclosure st Twenty-third and State streets will be nsed this year. The grand stand will be cnlarged so as to contain 2,000 numbered seats, whilo the outeido tiers will ac- commodate 5,000 persons. The dreaded digease, trichina, has made its appearance in this vicinity. A family of three pereons are affected with it in too pronounced & manner to be mistaken, They are under treat- ‘ment by Dr. Fischer. A family of efght residing in the suburbs aro attended for the same com- plaint by Dr. Schmidt. The cause of all thess coses is traceable directly to somo bam eaton by the sufferers. A microscopic examination of & shred of the edible, which was taken {rom the family sttended by Dr. Fischer, shows the crea- tures vory plainly. LATE CARS OX THE WEST SIDE. A meeting of tho Doard of Directors of the ‘West Division Railway was held in the oflice of the United States Marshal yesterdsy afternoon. It had been inten {4d to proceed to the election of ofticers for the nsuing year, but it was finally 2F1Cd 50 DOELE,a action in this respect for tho presont. ~ 'Fus’ officers nmow in placo will held over until s further meeting. A committee was appointed to make & recom- mendation looking to compliance with the cit ordinance requiriog cars torun_ after 12 o'clocl at night. The Committeo reported _the follow- ing as being the hours most convenient to the ublic, and the report was accordingly adopted : rom State on Madison street, poing west, cars will leave hereafter_at- 13, 12:40, 1:20, 2, 2:40, and 3:20, and from Western avenue, going east, at 12, 12:40, 1:20, 2, snd 2:40. Incremsed facil- ities on the Bluo Island avenue, Milwaukoo avenue, ond Randolph street lings ware also recommended aud agreed upon. Cars will ran on these latter strects, each way, until midnight hereafter. It was thought that by runping the cars forty minutes apart up to 8:20 a. m. it would beof mere advantage to citizens than running them an hour apart ail night. In- quiry at the newspaper and telegraph offices, and other places of midnight labor, discolosed the fact that few employes returned home between 3:20 and 6 o'clock a. m. zud & forty micute wait was concluded to be much more agreeablo than waiting an hour for “‘the last car After coming to theso conclusions and agreeing to_start on the new night table as goon a8 the stock could bo secured, the meeting ad- journed. ——e— ANNOUNCEMENTS.

To the Editar of The Chicago Tribuna : 8 : I believe your paper is the friend of re- form, and that you would not intentionally allow any statement 'to creep into it that wonld defeat the ends of justice. My attention has been called to the following statement in your report of tho proceedings of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Laks: Measrs, Turner and Coy both made their statements in relation to tho Thompson matter. Thelr arguments wero sliort and to the point, 1r. Turner admitted eversthing Mr, Coy said in lis report was correct; that the Justice bad jurisdiction; that the total amount of costs ought to havo been $12.35, when Squire Thompson only charged $11.25, and then referred to the appearance of the docket itself, but here he was met Ly 3r, Thomas, who beat him, snd who finally made bim “turn Lis horse the other way.” And thus ends Turner's great fizzle. Some time a5o, one V. 5. Thompson, a Justico of the Peace, holding what he cails a conrt at the Union Sfock-Yards, was sued jor charging illegal fees, before Justice W. N. Smith, ot Englowood. The trial was by jury, and Thomp- Bon was found guilty snd finad $60 snd costs. Mr. Turzer was counsel for the prosecution at the time that Thompson was fined, and being obliged to act a8 witness in the case, called in Mir. R. Menzio to take his placo. Mr. Turner's testimony was damaging fo Thompson, 2ud ho (Thompson) or one of his friends procared the insertion of the following article in the Times which, to auy person of common sense, woula seem preposterous, as it is generally considered difticult to foretell what a jury will do; and in- asmuch as two terms have passed, and no in- dictment found. the acimus of the article will be seen. It is as follows: In the case of Mesers, Duluch and Turner against '8quire Thompson heretoforo mentioned, for malfea~ s=ncein oilice, the verdict was rendered in favor of luintiff, ’Squize Thompson took au appeal to the igher conrts. He 13 now going to have Mezsrs, Du - luch and Tarner indicted before the Grand Jury for perjury in tho Arst-usmed caso on next Mondsy. It 15 6aid that Meesrs, Duluch and Tarner have aifered to settle it, but the Justice repliod that his good name was worth more than money. Mr. Turner was counsel for Duluch in the causes which wero brought before said Thomp- son, and did nothing but what his daty as coun- sel for Duluch demaunded he should do. Nr. Turner discovered that Thompson was acting in & corrupt manuer, in clharging illezal fecs, aud &ny man of common gense knows that it was his duty to protect his client_sccording to the spint and letter of the law, and, if possible, securo him his rights under the law. In this he suc- ceeded but too well, and in this case the meas- ure of his success “was the mecasure of Thompson's discomfiture, and henco this wling. Mr. Tarner has but recently come to Englewood, and he finds it somewbat awkward for a straight man to walk in the crooked paths of the Justices' practice of Cook County, but be is a gentleman, and is entitled to much credit 88 a lawyer, snd already has many warm friends, who ‘believe him 1ncapable of a dihonorable act. P. B. WaRNER. Ex6LEwooD, Feb, 13, 1874 DLUE ISLAND. M. T. DeWitt, who_died here Tuesday, was born in South Eaton, Pa., March 5, 18i% He camo to Bluo Island in the spring of 1865, and was employed as Principal of the Public School, whero he continued to teach for two years, when, on uccount of failing health ho was com- elled to resizn.
