THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1874. 5 ithout punishing such mistakes as R. C. D. BOYS, salicitor of the Lake Shore & Michigan South- tro Pailroad, was also iaterviewed. In regard fo the fencing eection, he said that corporations 5 made contracts with the owner of the Jand over which they had the right of way to do the fencing, the owner agreeing, in considera- tion ot the mouey paid by the Compsay, to tain the feoce. By this act the owner was Practically relioved from such obligation. The Company bad once paid for the fence and fhe cost of maintaining it, yet by this act they were requircd to build’ and maintain such fenco st their own cos, besides subject- [og themselves to damages for failure to comply with the provisions "of the act. When- Gver any vagrant in want of money saw fit to construct any portion of the fence, and brought ooitin tie name of the peopla of Illinois, the Feiiroads would bo compelled to pay double what foe work wos worth. The termsof the act opeved the doors in this respect and offered a premium for a multitute of wmalicious prosecu- jons- n RUNNING THROUGH CITIES AND TOWNS. 1n regard to Tunning rairoad trains according to the existing city and town ordiances, which is from 4 to G miles an Lour, Mr. Roys said that men experienced iu railroad traflic knew there was lcas danger in running a train at a rapid speed than ruoning it slow, because many wonld jump on the train if they: could get & cheuce. Nino out of ten accidents st occured on their road, happened, on glow trains, by men and boys trying to jump on. The penalty, for jumping on a train was 200 mall, 28 it was nothing as compared with the penaltics aguinst reilroad companies ; aud whilo those imposed on the railroad compsnies sent to vagrants, the penaltics for other viola- tions of the law went to the school fund of the county. But, aside from these objections to this section, if the railroad company should run at the rate of 6 miles an hour it would take noarly two hours from here to Cornell, = distance of but 10 miles, while at present it took only forty- five minutes to make that distance, People liv- ing 10 or 12 miles iu the country would rather cbject to being compelled to be ‘two and three ours on their way Lo the city. BAILEOAD CROSSINGS. In referenco to the section referring to_rail- rosd crossings, be said that when & railroad was constructed through a conntry and it was neces- sary to cross s etreet or highway, it was proper thet it skoald construct and maintain such cross- ing at its own expense, but where it parchased the ground in fee, and thereafter a highway was Jaid out ncross the track, theroby making a crossing Decessary, it was only fair thst tho mu- icipal corporation should coustruct and main- tain such crossing, or pay to the company such sum of mouney 28 will enable it to do the work. other words, the same rale of compensation which the law l{p]ied to railway corporations should be ap- plisd, noder the same circumstances, to munici- corporations, but the railroad bill put all the urdens upon the railway corporations and none, even under_preciscly tho same circamstances, on the municipal corporations. THE SAME UNFAIRNESS was exhibited where they fixed & fine both on the engineer and the company for the failure of the engineer to stov before reaching the inter- soction of other roads or draw-bridges. A rulo of dsmages, to be equitable, should ot apply to s milway when it did not, under the same circumstances, apply to aoy othec master or servant, The bill, in the same manner, made the company responsible for the drunkenness of enemplove. Let the Legislaturo aflix the same liability ou other corporstions and individuals, and they might be charged with acting with in- telligence and impartiali TEXAS CATTLE. Mr. Roys wrs of opinion that the section in re- gard to shippiog Texas cattlo would be moro in- Jurions to the commerce of tho State than to Tuilvay companies, The entire bill was eo drawnthat, inalmost every act to which tho Legis- Isture bas afiised a pevalty sgaiust a railrosd corporation, it would be almost impossible for a compsay to disprove tha charge of malicions- ness that wonld nniformly be preferred by tho vacraut informers. Mr. Roys characterized the bill a8 ope of walignant stupidity. WASHED OUT. Damage Done by the Floed Im the West Division. The northwestern portion of the city, especial- 15 the territory borderizg upon and in part com- prehending the Fiftecnth Ward, is beiug visited by an inundation that causes the most thorough inconvenience, not to say actusl suffering, to the residents in that locolity. The flood began its encroschments Thursday, snd was caused by the sndden‘thawing of the vast quantities of snow and ice which 1aid on the surface, The continued and severe rain-storm of Thursdsy might in- crossed the volume of water so rapidly that it was wih the ubmost aifiiculty, approaching the hazardous, that tho occapants of the numerons teuement-houses in that vicin- ity, in compauy with their woalthier neiglibors, cscaped drowning. The main sewers in tha sortiou of tlie city commence at the corner of ivieion street and Milwankee avenuo, and are the outlet for tho more eontracted channels in- tended to carcy off tne water, bui which are ut- terly insdequats for the purposes for which they were intended, and this is, in B grest messure, the causs of the present calamity. The principal strects embargoed by the flood nre Division, Fry, snd Dudley sireels, togethor with Milwaukee avenue. Though ali the thoronghfares inclosed in the tri- angle bounded by this avenue, Division snd Au- Fusta streets are submerged at & depth of from one to three foet, Jane, Newton, Samuel, Hus- ton, and Macedonia streets ars more or Jess in- undated, with Lere and thero a dry patch of ground that has escaped the common fate. Water is everywhere,—in the dn'ellings the etores, ¢hops, and saloons. So rapidiy did_ the calamity overtake the scene of its present location, that the inhabitants were obliged to fles without sav- ing anything, and in scme cases leaving their most valued household goods to welcome the in- truder. The basement of Kurth's Bumlding, at the corner of Fig street and Milwaukee avenue, is s miniature sea. it is occupied a3 a saloon, and the beer-kegs float hither and yon at will. The tables and chairs look as forlorn as they are deserted, and the throng of Tegtons who were wont to gather nightly inthis retrest viewed the intrusion with a des- perate calmness, mingled with expressions sug- gestive, to drow it mildls, of the chagrin they felt. A barber-shop on the opposite corner wi not afford its patrons their usual Ssturday night's tonsorial recuperation, for it pays tribute tothe flood. A baker-shop near by is empty and deserted, and its contents one pulpy mass of Ppaste. A couragoous kneader of doughatiompted towads through the flood, for the purpose of delivering food to a customer.§Ho escaped being drowned by hus agility and knowledge of the art of ewimming, but his bread was cast upon the walers, with Do prospect of its return after many dags.

The dsmage cannot be estimatod at present, but it will likely be considerable.

BOCK ISLAND & HENNEPIN CANAL. The memorial adopted by the Seuate, asking Congress to dig a canal from Rock Island to Hen- nepin, was discussed in the House. The same ‘memorial had been referred to the House Commit- teeon Agriculture, which amended it as follows : Your memorialists are satisfied that increased transportution between the Exst and the West is oue of the means by wkich the laborer can be rewarded for his toil, aud a_etep in this direction is the con- tinuation of the Iilinois & Michigan Caual from the K:u;ls River to Rock Island, on the Mississippi Shaw éid not think that the routo indicated was the best.

Special Disvatch to The Chicago Tribune. ITS CONSOLIDATION AT SPRINGFIELD, SrrixereLp, Ill., Feb.18.—The bill concen- trating the Supreme Court st Springfield was on its possage in the House, when Casey, from Pulaski, rallied the Southern and LaSalle Coun- ty members on a motion to refer, which was done, after s hard tug, by 64 to 60, During the dinuer-lour, thero was persistent Iobbying on both sides, and when tho House again met Collins made an oxcellent argument for the bill, stating that, for the last five years, the Northern and Southern Grand Divisions cost over $93,000, while the Central Division cost only a liitle over $26,000. Ho also contended thet justice would be expedited by loesting the Court permanently at one placa. The bill got 64 votes, 18 oo few, and 57 wero cast against it. THE CASDYS BEAT THE BILL, in the interest of Mount Vernon and, as they su pposed, of Southern Illirois. Tom Casey came in from the Senate, and was ail over the Houso at the ame time, and, with bis brother, Nevwton, engineered the defeat. These brothers aro pereonally extremely popular, and got many votes aganst the Dbill on that account. The court property at Mount Vernon was given to the State by Vernon, their father, for a8 long & time a3 it may b used for court_purposes, after which it reverts to these sons. But they would rather be without the property than without the court. Bradwell moved to refer to the Judiciary, with instructions to provide for QUARTERLY BESSIONS at Chicago, Otiava, Springfield, and Hount Vor. Ton, Peorin, Quincy, 2nd Bloomington wanted n of the Court, to0, but of course, their su- irations only created amusement eventually. %radl\"ell‘s motion was lost, and the bill sent ‘Wwithout instructious to the Revision Committee. Tho Caseya are entirely to blame for the con- tinuance of the Court a8 a poripatetic institu- tion. One revision for a session at Chicago will be made in the bill, and this will reccive the snpport of the opponents of concontration, It is merely & question of time when the Court will be s fixture 1o Springfield. That time will come when the new State House is finished. CLERK FEES. The Houee tabled the bill reducing the fees of the Clerks of tho Court. St Y THE REVENUE LAWS. Special Disatch to The Chicago Tribune. Serrxarierp, 1L, Feb. 13.—The question of revising the Revenuo law was again stirred up in the Senate this morning. Mr. Palmor entered a motion to reconsider tho vote by which the reso- Iution for & special committeo to propose amend- ments to the Revenue Jaw was adopted yester- day. His objeet westo keep the resolution from roturning to the House for its concurrence in the Senate’s amendment. Ho also called up another House 1esolation instructing the regular standing Revenue Com- mittees to prapare a genoral Revenne bill. The discussion on this resolution was opened by Can- field, who tuought there was X0 NECESSITY FOR A NEW LAW, or for many smendments. If the door was opened to a general discussion of the subject on 8 bill, all sorts of theories and notions would appear in the shape of amendments, and each wonld demand = full discussion. Mr. 8tecle anawored at length in favor of the adoption of the resolution. The fall considera- tion of this and other questions of equal impor- tance to the people was s duty of the present Legislature. Tho faithful discharge of this uty would not take till the Ist of July, but if 1y did it would not chango the duties and responsi- bilities of the Senators. He krew his people wanted him to stay until be had done what little he could to satisfy the purposes of his comiag, and until he had given os faithful and intelligent copsideration a8 pessible tothe legislative quee- tions of present vital importence to the people. There was no question in which the people were more interested than this one. The emm;g stetutes on revenue were in a very confus state, and wero not plainly understood by anybody, eave perhaps the Auditor of Puklic Ac- counts, and he was unable to satisfactorily ex- lgin them. There was no good reason why this egislature should not. provide a general Bevenue Iaw which should CORRECT THE INJUSTICES, the inconeistencics, and the obscurity of the present law, and which should be perfectly plain fothe mass of the peopie intercsted therein. "The Revicion Committeo would have dono this but that it did not come within its jurisdiction. Mr. Waite was in favor of amending, but nos revising the law. ; The r‘éanluu‘on was treated just as the other was yesterdny—amended so as to require the Committeo to report such amendments to the ]aw 18 in their opinion is sdvitable, and adopted. This leaves tho work with tho regular sten ing committees which havo detormined, in obedi- enco to the Republican caucus. no to disturb the law ; and the resolution fors special commit- tee which would do the work, being held in hancery by Mr. Palmer's motion to_reconsider, fhe question 1s settled for tho present so that o KELIE?

He, however, has the promise of the Revenuo Committee that justice will be done ihe subjectif ho will belp tho Committee ont. THE MATTED IN THE HOUSE. 1 Bome bills relative to revenue being the special order in the House, they were referred to the Joiot Committoe on Revenue.

The report of the Committee on the Bos- ton Grange was discussed and adopted Iast even- the public to-day. The case hes been prejudged ever since the deliv- oryof Master Adams' addresson thofirst day. The action of the National Grange wes rather with & view to sustaining Adams than on the real merits of tho case, which were not lengthily argued. Mr. Staples, delegato from Boston, was not present when the Committee first considered the subject. Allis, Mnster of Massachusetts, went alone beforo the Committee, and submitted the petition sent you the other day. Mr. Allis complains that his position has boen embarrasa- ing, Mr. Adams, in his address, placing him 1 an actitude of rebellion as rogards the Order. Ho thinks the question should nover have come up, 85 the Eastern members went into the Grange in good faith, not supposing they were violating suy rules of the Order. He left for Thome to-night with Mr. Staples. VIEWS OF MB. STAPLES, Tho Iatter gentleman reacied St. Louis last Wednesday night, and sinco that time has sat in all tho sessions of the National Grange. He ex- pressos tho opinion that tho Boton Gran g muatter ought to have been entirely iznored. an: says that most of the mombors of tho National Grangeentertain thesamoview of thematter. The Grango had como into the Orderin good faith, and though some of the members had city inter- ests, nearly all of them Lad farms. Mr. Hovey, the seedsman, was a member, and he is directly interested in sgriculture. Mr. Staples himself hasa farm in the country; so have nearly all the members to whom so much objoction has been mede. Mr. Staples says, further, that the Boston grain-deslers are just as much INTERESTED IN CHEAP TEANSPOETATION 28 the Eastern farmens, and it was this that first drew them into the Grange. Then a hue and ¢ was raised, ond the report was circulated L over the West that a Grange had been formed in Boston composed only of mer- chants and grain-dealers. Mr. Adams came East to attend s Horticultural Congress, and learning through third parties about tho way in which the Grange was formed, not even consult- ing with any of the membors, came home and revoked the dispensation. Mr. Staples considers his Boston brethren to have - been most un- justly discriminated sgainst, iussmuch a3 thore are hundreds of Granges all over the East, and in all tho cities and towns of the Weat, whose memberahip is no moro directly ag- ricultural than the membership of the Boston Grange. Ho says that it will probably reorganize and again spply for admission. Theso_ are Mr. Staples’ news, and they deserve to have the same currency given the report of the Commit- tee. He ridicnles the idea that ho and tbe few men associated with him ever entertained tho idoa of running Massachusetts politics. THE REPOLT. The tollowing is the formal report of the Com- mittee on the Boston Grange : Your Committes to whom vas roferred that portion of Worthy Master Adams’ addrcss Laving reference to the Bostod Grange bug leavs to submit the following report : Tn order to arrive ata correct conclusion s to al- leged irregularities, we procseded to- sscortain {rom ‘means at our command testimony in regard to the fol~ lowing questions = Firat—1iad any irregularities bean committed ; if 50, what wers they 7 Sicond—Dy whom had thesa frregulartis been corn- tied 2 Third—What remedy shall we propoie?

The following was delivored as a closing speech by Wardlaw, of the Biate Qrange of Florids, It shows a warm, luxuriance of rhe- toric, highly characteristic ‘of the landof the orange and the alligator : ‘When Florida i8 called upon fo place a beautifal ‘wreath upou tha still more beantiful brow of some lovely eister, Florida not only responds with alacrity, but esteems it a pleasure, 3 high and honored privi- lege. But, tosay farewell, to bid adien to brothers and sisters, to tho pleasurable emotions with which _we hove been surounded during the Conmvention, i truly ~unplessant—s terribly embarrassing,—touchiug s tender chord, I Dave always apprecisted the noble sen‘iment, that the Teart fecls most when the lips xuove 1o but the eye speaks a gentls good-bye. Very soon, Worthy Master, the sound of your guvel willbe heard, and the question acked our Worthy Overseer, * Are the labors of the day completed 27 and the response will come back, “ They are, Worthy 3Mas- ter.” Then will the solomn significanco of theso words reverbersting through the ball, perhaps for the last time, be felt by many of uS 38 never bo- fore, How it shouid remind us of the important ne- cossity of being prepared to meet where parting is no more ! When Virgil bade adien to his beloved in those beav- tifal, touching, prophetic words, * Vale, vale, formoas " we Tepest but fo sdmire, When Napoleon Bonspartelooked npon his lovely Josophine, and turned from her in consummation of the darkest deed on his life, afterwards to be banished to lonely exile, the ‘remiviscence but tends to give us pain.

Sad thongh tho thought,— thiough solemn the truth,—some of wi will nover moet again, It 1s gratifying, however, Worthy Master, to know, 25 I honestly believe, thut' this mecting, by its wide- spread influenco frofa North to_Souts, from Eust to Weat, caps the last arch thag shades the bridge of tho unfortunata bloody chasm. Asit was my sad pleas- uro, s tho representstivo of the State of Florida, fouricen years ago, in tho Charlesion Con- ention, to deliver a shiort culogy upon one of Green Mountains’ honared sons, es-Gov, Robinson, who was ‘suddenly stricken down by death on the socond morn- ing of the session, if my brother from Vermont will meet me on this floor, we will clasp hands with the Patron's grip, silently and invoking God's blessings, ilustrating the truth that “United we staud, Qivided we fall.” 5 [Hero the Master from Vermont stopped for- ward and extended his hand, which was beldina fraternal clasp by tho Master from Florida for some time.

MARDI GRAS, A Memphis Reporter ilas a Glimpse of thc Gorgeous Furmishings of the Abode of the Mcmpki. Meurm, Fob. 13.—This afternoon a press re- porter of thia city received a triangular note throagh the post from the Sublime Ouro of Mis- tick Memphi, informing him that if he would proceed aloue to the mound below Fort Pickor- ing at 5 o'clock, and quietly submit to the treat- ment imposed upon ho would be favored with a glimpse of tho “cavernous abode of the Memphi )‘)]reymliou! of the approaching carvival. At the appointed bour the reporter seated himeelf upon the grost mound. In & fow moments & carriage drove up, from which two strangers alighted, and, efter ealuting the reporter, inquired Lis namo, upon the reception of which ho was answered:* ¢ You aro expectod ; please enter the carriage,” which was no sooner scceded to than he was seized, ‘bound, blindfolded, and the carriage driven off atuagid gait. After riding about an bhour, 23 1o the bowildered item-hunter, the car- sgeme: risge stopped. Ho was assisted to slight, and escorted down _innumerable steps into whot seemed s _ vast vault or cave, at the further end of which heavy ‘blows were struck upon & door or gate. After some words had passed in o whisper the door opened, the party entered, and were greoted with “Behold the abode of the Memphi!” yelled through & speaking-trumpet, ai which the band- age was removed {rom thie quid-nunc’s eyes, and Le secmed to bo facing somo forty calcium lights. After his eves bad becomo ac- customed to the brilliant light, he beheld s long vists stretching awsy through roves of palm-trees, with pyramid and sphinx In the foroground. To tho left was an oasis, on which some camels were reclining, chewing Mark Twain's correspondence, or gum, near by a group of Orientals. To the right, Vesurius, or some other voleano, emitting dense volumes of firo and smoke, while from tie crater three horsemen, in tho rich dress of the East, wera emerging from tho fire on winged steeds. Iar down tho vists appearcd untold numbers of riculy attired cavaliers mounted on power- ful steeds, covered with rich trappings. Thore were bodies of soldiers likewise in Oriental dxess, c;\r{I\;mg banners with carious desigus, which, with ther bright arms glittering through groves of palms, and far bevond tho golden galleys floating upon & great river, made a picture before which the ** Arabian Nights " or the transformation scene in the ** Black Crook ™ paled. But the reporter had scarcely timo to take a fow mental notes ore ho was again seized and blindfolded, taken back to the carriage, and 8oon returned to the mound, where he was re- Ieased, and told to let the world know what he bsd beheld.

The Indian Agent at Fort Laramie reports that tho half has not been told, and that theyare in featfal danger andin immediato need of as- sistance.

T., Feb. 13.—William Bosler, tho Indian beef coutractor at the Red Cioud Agoncy, arrived hore last ovoning. His roport of the mutiny is s follows: ‘¢ On Sunday night, about 2 o'clocl, the issuing clerk was awakened by bearing some oue pushing the window in. Ho got up snd askod who was there, and what ns wanted, and sn Indian replied that ho want- ed to sco the affai (father). The clerk then called Apploton, who went to tho door, opened it, and, sceing an Indian, turnod to call an in- Lerprefer. As bo turued, the Indian shot him in th using the common army musket. Alr. Bosler is quito certain that the murder was com- mitted by one Lone Horn, of the north band of Mioneconjos, who hoyo been dissatisfied for some time. The report of tha burning of the agency, Mr. Bosler thinks, is not true. TIE INNOCENT SAVAGE. . The Red Cloud, Sioux and Osulnllu deny any intention to go to war, but in “ tricks that are vain " Mr. Lo excels. They are raiding all around us, off their roscrvation, Teturning_from time to time to their reservation, bringing off from ten to forty horses. If iu these raids one of thein is wounded they do not rest until they kill some one in retarn. The answer of the Tu- diaus, whon asked why Appleton wes killed, was that the Indians wanted to kill somebody. ARMS APFLIED FOR. Gov. Campheli hea promptly applied to the Secretary of War for arms, and 150 breech-lond- ers and 8,000 rounds of aminunition have besn cniml'nd sent bere fromthe Leavenworth Ar- senal, CORRECTION. % Oarana, Feb, 13.—Tho reported attack on tha Wood party at Fort Keltorman day before yes- terday proves to be false.
