THE CIIICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 206, 1874, 5 3 LOCAL MISCELLANY. THE OHIEF GRAIN INSPECTOR. Tho Stato Board of Rnilrond and Warchouso Commissionors were in session in this cily yestorday, thoe capocial objeot of their visit being thi6 investigation futo thie affaira of Chlof Girain- Inspector Iarper, against whom sorlous nllega- tions hinvo boon made by his lato, Ohief Olerk, Edward W, Smith, But two of tho OCommis- elonors, Messrs, Brown and Stealo, wore horo. Thoy spent tho day in looking through Mr Hlarpor's nccounts, sand at night thoy had nob comploted tholr investigation, A Tnipune reportor last ovening callod upon tha Commis- nionors at tholr quartors in tho Palmer Houso, with s viow to nscortain tho rosult of thoir la- bors. Ifo found tho gentlomon disposed tobo EXTREMELY RETIORNT upon tho subjeot of Mr, Harpor's affairs, and only suceooded In eliciting tho information that thoy bind not yot finished their lnquh’fl. and that Justico to hutfl yarties roquired that they should give no lullm'ndon a8 to tho condition of thinga ontfl thoy had concluded tho invostigation, Tlicn, gaid Mr, Brown, thoy shonld conslder it their duty to make tho first communication to tho Governor, inusmuch as Iuspoctor arpor waa his appointos. A dolicato fnsinuation by tho ceportor, to tho offect that it would bo onli fair to Ar, Liarper to publish his vindieation ot the carlioat possible moment, was momnfally inof- fectual iu obtaining nvy hint as to whather thoro was or Was not to be anyvindication ; and a sim- lar result attonded the equally ingonuous sug- gostion that tho Commissioners owed it to Mr. Smith, the Iate Chiof Clorl, to loss no timo in informing thoe publio that ha was not the despic- ablo apy und falsifier that ho would appoar to bo in case Mr. Iarper should Lo vindieated, Dut tho Commissionors would wuot consont to glve any informatlon waatover upon the sub- joct, 'Phéro wns no alternative but to givo it up, 2ud ths tho roporter did roluctantiy on_general nrinciples, and regrotful that tho Iailrond and Warebouse Comungsioners shonld mske tho fatal mistake of supposing that they owed their fimt duty to n meroe Govornor, and not to tho {nsatiabio public desiro for nows, MARIER CONFIDENT, Of courso Tuspoctor Ilarper could not toll what was to bo tho result of tho investigation, though Lie axprossed perfect confidonce that it would bo favorsblo to him, Ifo did not 8eo how it could bo otliorwias, since his hind done nothivg which should lead him to fear for the cousoquences. 1o was annoyoed that his privato affairs should bo priod into on account of the sneaking eonduct of his recont Chief Clork, but, further than that, ho was film] to liave his accounts thoroughly iuspected by the Commis- sionors, 11e Lad tolographied them that ho way williug and ready for an - invostigation, and wus ploased that thoy hind come 80 s00n. SMITH. Sinco Smith bad loft bis omploy he bnd ro- coived mauy letters from various parties, who stated they wore in possossion of facts excocdingly damaging to the character of the lnte Chief Clerk, and in viaw of these gtatemonts Mr, Horper wag not surprised that o bad gotten into troublowith him. He allud- od to Smith'y fuaccuracy and slovenly ways as tho solo reason why it becama necosrary to write up & new set of books; aud, curiously’ cuough, an incident quito relovent to the subject ac- curred while the Inspector waa talling about it, Ho was looking through the lotter-book to find the copy of soma correspoudence in reforonce to an incrosse of feew, writton to the Gov- ernor last August, when ho camo ncross two epistles not oxactl :purtniuim; to grain in- spection. 'They wero addresned to * Miss Flora,” and signod by Mr., Bmith, Iu one lotter ho de- seribed bis oxperlonces aftor haviug roturned frowm su ovening rido with Miss Ilora, whon thoy slayed out so iate thot tho livery-stnblo man grow very profane because e did not bring the Torsoin earlior, thoroby disturbing his sweet re- flections on the ride. Referenco was nlso made 1o the * ilver moon,” which pregented * o scena of ravishing grandeur,” and to o *‘caromel ” which stucicin Lis tooth, and henco tho swool re- flectiona nforesaid. _Tho othor letter was an in- vitation to Mies Flora to go driving with him on the grand boulovard on a Wedneudny af- ternoon. Ar. Harper could not acgount for tho resonce of these tonder effusions lu tho lotter- Enuk, oxcapt upon the horriblo supposition tlat Mr. Smith got his correspondonca mixed, mail- ing to tho Warehouse Commiesioners an oftlotal noto on tho subject of _silver moon and * caro- mols,” and to Misa Flora. s sentimental and lover-like apiatlo rolating to Teos for iuspecti To avoid possiblo emnbarrassment whon ko should bo called upon to submit his record of ofticinl rorrospandenco to the investigating Commis- sioners, Mr. ITarper borrowed the reporter's knifo and cut out tho objectionable leaves. ———— THE PENDULUM EXPERIMENT. Tho Foucault pendulum experiment, by which 18 practically demonstrated tho truth of tho ngsgrtion, *Tho world moves,” was por- formed yesterday afternoon in the Exposition Building undor tho auspices of the Chicago Acadowy of Sciences. As tho facilities for wit- nossing tho experimont advaniageously would not admit of & largo erowd of lookers-on, the invita- tiou-list wascomparatively limited,and, asthe oc- casion wos ono of uncommon intoreat, thoso who wera favored with cards numorously svaied themselves ofithe opportunity. Yesterday's invi- tations were restricted to membors of tho Acad- omy, tho Mayor, and Commissioners of tho Board of Public Workn, the Board of Education, the Treo Library Boerd, the President and officors of tho Bourd of Trade, and o few other promi- nont citizeng, among them Dr,” Bwroughs, of the Obicago University, and his friend Dr, Everts. 'Lhe State Warchouso Commirsionors wero algo invited, but, as they were engegod in Jookiug over Inspector IHarpor's accounts, they did uot attend, Very many ladies honored tho geeno with their *, preseuce, and -~ took n lively interout in the oxperimont, The pendulum nud its relation to tho rotation of the earth upon its axis were so fully described and illus- trated in yestorday's issue of ‘F'un TBINUNE a8 to requiro no repetition, It, however, shows tho wonderful resuits of tho scicnico of mathemntica whon properly spplied, that the theory and calen- lations set forth in ‘Lz TrIBUNE wore verified with absolute precision by the practical workings of the experiment. Mr. Elins Colbert and Dr, Norman Bridge assumad charge of tho aporation of the pendulum, which lad been constructed under tho supervision of Ar. Colbort, and at the oxponse of Mr. E. W, Blatchford. At 1 o'clock iu the afternoon the lead bell ut the lower end of tho wire was liborated by burning the cord which sccured it at one ond of the wooden rail- jug. It swung for two hoursand o Inlf, and was thon stopped, laving dovinted thirty degreos. At 8:44, by which timo the, visitors had arrived in goodly numbers, the pondulum was again " sot in motioy, and swung for thirty minutes, and 207 timos, showing o daviation of five dogreos and one minute. - Tho truth of tho assortion that the course of the ball would not be varied. by turning it around from sido to eido, was pracucally demonstrated, and an oxplanation of tho workings of the oxperi- mont was given by Mr. Colbert, who, with mucl patience and politeness, as well ag thorough kcioutifio knowledgoe, anawered questions almost without number. 1l stated umnngi' other things, that tho anglo described by bwo -Tines of one milo cach, starting from_ the samo poiut, and throo inclies apart at tho brge, was, ag not 3y as could bo calculnted, tho angle of the devia- tion of ench.swing of tho peudulum; and also that tho devintions would bo iu exactly opposito dircetions if the pondulum wero located ot cor- rosponding distance south of the equator. Tho experiment was in every respect succesaful and sntisfactory, and roflects great credit upon (he gentlomou who woro rexponsiblo for its per- formance. 1t will bo repeated to-morrow for the ‘Lonefit of the faculty and studeuts of tho various colloges ; at lator day, for tho toachers of .tha Public Schools, and tho pupils of the High Sehiool ; and, still lator, for the publla in gener- al, when an admission fec will bo charged, ———— " THE WESTERN UNION AND BOARD oF TRADE, A littlo controversy has sprung up botwoon tho Bonard of Trado and the Western Union 'olegraph Company in rogard to tho space occu- pled by the latter in the Board-room, Prior to Ihe leasing by tho Western Union of the Pacitio & Atlantio lines, the former corporation had fu- struments in two of tho cornors of tho Doard- room, and tho Jatter had an instrumont in an- othor corner, After tho leasing, the Western Unton consequently bad threo cornors, A rivel compnny olso hoy an_instrumont, aud many of tho mombors of the Board think thet” tho Western Union Lad leiter surrondor one of ite corners, uud tho telograph cor~ poration, it was said, had throntenod 1 casn ab attompt is mudo to dispossess them in purt, to romovo il their wiras, Lo ascertalu tho ruth of tho roaitor n reporler was dircoted to wall ipan Col, J. 3.8, Wilson, Buperiuiendont of the Westorn Unlon lines, and got a statoment from him reguiding it. Ilo did so with the fol+ Jowing reeult : On tho 1st of January last wo loased the Po- cific & Atlantio lines throughout the United Btates, and smong oher things tovk charge of their tolegraph dopartment in tho Doard of Y'rade, Ididnotfocl liko withdrawing, as & mattor of economy, any facilitios at any plnco that-the public derived from our lines, which I could bayo dono with good eoffect in _ the Doard of Mrado, On. the othor hand, I incroascd tolographic facilitios largely in tho Board of Trado, adding sovoral lings, A short time ago I mot o committes of the Donrd of Trade, who called my attontion to tho fact that our Gompany had throe oflices in the Board of I'tade, whilo the opposition had only one, I told the Committco that the opposition had spaco in proportion to tha facilitios thoy could offor. I told the Committee that whon tho ma- chinery for tha pnoumsatlo .onginos was coni- ploted wo should not nead the spaco, At tho Bamo tino I urgod tho necossity of our keoping tho space now hold in the Exchange Room. Yostorday I recolved the following notico from the Bocrotary of the Board of Trade: BoAnD or THADE, BEORKTARY'S OFFIOR, QittoAGo, Teb, 17, 1874, Col, 7. J, 5. Wilson, Superintendent’ Wostern' Union Tele- Faph Company & 4raw Biu: Tam dirocted by voto of (he Toard of Directors to request that {our Qotpany will vacate tho office nosr occupled by it In tho northiesst corner of tho Excliange Hall of this Bonrd by the It day of March rox,, leavtng that office to ong or two othor lines now gecupying Julufly ane offiro, while your Gompauy lss thres, Iam vory respec fulty, ItARLES RANDOLTT, Bocrefary, Aftor roading it, I called upon_ Mr, Randolph, who stated that all ho know sbout tho matter was that tho iuaulni of tho ordar was the action of tho Board, Iesked for permission to placo & copy of tho order on tha ofjico, wishing to show tho'membory of the Board the reason for tho romoval, but this was rofused. I thon eamo to tho conclusion that tnoto was somothing undor- hiaud.in tho business, I informed Mr, Randoiph that I did not know what notion I would tako in* the matter, but thiat I dld not consider thoir treat- mont as oithor fair or pleasant. As a mattor of faot tho Board of 'Irade business does not pay the Company, and_thoy transnct it moroly in a spirit of accommodation, The sorvice of the Board of Trado is tho most requiring and ex- pensivo which tho Company transacts, ~tho vory Dot oporatoss bolng employed ou it at largo salaries. I have not yet made up my mind a8 to ncourso of action, but I foel thatif iho Board of T'rnde aro going to discriminate against our Com- pany, it is timo for us to withdraw from their uilding altogothior, Au a mattor of faot wo would like to withdraw, but objoct docidedly to being kicked out. ——— - W. H. EDDY'S VIEWS. o the Rditor of The Chicago Tribune 3 8m: Inyour issuo of tho 19th ontitled # The Yokefcllows," my tiom de plume is made uso of in such & way aa to leave the impression among thoso who are unacquaiuted with tho modus operaudi of tho journalistic stage that I was disposed to ridioulo somo of the many eflorts which have beon, and now aro boing, mado by somo of my follow-citizens of tho Christian faith, Whilo I most frankly avow my disbelief in the theory that man now is, or was ovor, com- misgioned lo transact or perform any of tho dutics which aro the especial prorogatives of that invincible power that we call God, I wish all to understand that tho liveral ideas of whichk I hinve long been an humblo advocate, and in which I am o firm beliover, preclude tho possi- bility of my pursuing such a course. Away back in the days of manhood, I havo discovored that, g a rulo, tho impressions of childhood arg mos likely to cling to us In mature years; I havo also found that, howover strauga aud proposter- ous somo now theory was to mo at tho time it was firat ndvanced, ‘yoars of investigation con- vinced mo of ihoir truth, u More importaut to mo than all, I have found that it minkes no differonce with tho man what tho color, cut, or style of his garmont is. men should bo valued for what thoy aro really worth to socioly. They must bo nllowed to on- tortain any notion they ploato in regard lo tho nst, prosont, or future, and, being so slone, t is incumbont on all who valuo their own free- dom of thought and action to see to it that how- over mystorious, strange, or absurd may be tho notions of others, wo must treat them in sll re- spects a8 tho property of his own conscience, and under no circumstances forget that that be- lief iy no more o question of choico than is the color of our hair, the size of our bodies, or the condition of our health, And for thoso, and many other reasons not here assigued, I do not beliove that God who made us, aud know our wultimate' dentiny, will evor conslgn us to oternal perdition for do- ing ~ just what Ie kuew wo would do, when, from inanimate 1o changed us iuto human Imin;t all of which, lad o willed othor- wiso, wonld o{lwn’ntud. But if I havo a good neighbor who belioves in what scems to Lo to mo a strango fable of antiquity,—for instanco, that hell is puved with the skuils of unbaptized infants,—if those refioctioris in any way increnso. his huppinees, I am bound to treat him In all re- #pects a8 well a8 though be were a convert to my Deltef, for Tam always reminded of tho fact thut the Almighty can at all timoes settlo all mattors in regurd to His laws without the intorvention of man. Candor is tho truo sistor of justice. Among all the gilnents with which our nature is afllicl- ad, nono is ko dangerous as hypocrisy. Shame should burn tho cheek of him who peuned and jthey who voted a place among our laws to ono that compols somo (o firat commit perjury beforo they can bo allowoed to speak the truth in or boforo the tribunals of his conuntry. May the time soon coma when all mon shall 'bo encouraged to spoak the truth; when good acts shall constituto & large clomont of agood man ; when all shall understand that man can iu no way agsist the Almighty in the performanco of His duties. Buf that, il we would be moro useful and botter, lot us bo just and eandid with all our fellowmen, with cbavity for all, and malico toward none, 1 am tho friond of all, and the humble defender of their right, in this free country, to lelieve whatover they please, without fear of punishment from the Governmont under which we live, W. H. Eppy. ——e— ADVOOATES OF JUSTIOE. ¥?
