Diligent Soarch for the Traitorous Aldermen, They Are to Bo Spotted and Politi- cally Ruined, How Both Sides Were Somewhat Taken ' by Surprise. A Death-Blow to the Pecople’s Party. . Mr. Foloy's Opinion of Things. Owing to tho Bt. Patrick’s procossion yester doy morning, vory fow of the Aldermon woro around tho City 11all, The patriotic and Irish ymembors of the Conucil weore of courso march- fug in the lino with thoir brethren of the Emer- ald Tulo, aud gave up for tho timo boing their customary businces of bothering tho Bonrd of Yolico, tho Mayor, and tho Bonrd of Publlo Worlis. 'Iliero was, thorefore, veory littlo oppor- tunity to find out what they thought about the unoxpooted result of tho vote tukon Mondny night for presiding officor of the Council. Nor, after nll, did the eloction of Ald. Dixon causa ms much of o sonsation around the City Hall ns might have boon oxpeotod ; pinco tho committeea sro appointed for a yoar, tho prosiding ofticordocs not enjoy balf the powor and conmequence which lio otherwise would. Al that ho hns to do is to preside over tho Council, nud to nominate any special com- mittoos that moy bo eroated. Tho presiding oflicer to Lo elected in Docomber is tho ono ot real consoquoace. Still, notwithstanding the abeonce of 50 many Aldermen, thero was n good dleal of talk nround the City 1Iall about tho olo- vatton of Dixon and thoe depression of Cullerton, tho mombers of tho People’s party being rathor donuncintory in thoir romarks, aud tliose ou the othor sido oxccodingly jubilunt, ~City Trensuror O'Iara said tho desortors wore known to him, and THEY WOULD B ' POTTED." This means that thoy shall not run for offico again on the Peoplo's toket. 1o rofusod to say who tho recaleilrant Aldormen aro, snd it iy doubtful if hio koows anylbing ‘moro than con« jecturo can wenve out af circumsiantisl evidonco, Tvory ono of tho suspocted men donios having wotod for Dixon, and, as they aro among tho most prominont Aldormen of tuo party, it is consid- ered wrong by their aseocintos to condomi them sud_ruin ‘il prospects for tho Logislaturo ~yithout the most smple proof of doraliction. A TALK WITII AN ALDERMAN, A Tripuxe roportor met one of the Aldormen nt the City Hall in tho alternoon, and nccosted Jum with * Well, Aldermay, what do you thinle of tho clection last night ? ‘Aldorman—I will toll you what I think if you will not use my namo. Reporter—I promiso. Qo ahead. Alderman—TI can tell you how the olection was brought about, Toportor—ihat will do by way of an intro- sluction. TOW IT HATPENED, Alderman—The Aldermen who claim to belong to the Law-and-Ordor party wore at_s loss to know what to do. They hadn't enough votes to slect oo of thoir owa numbor, and they had dotermined to cast their ballots for tha best man in tho Peoplo's party, a8 that was the wisost thiug to do under the cironmstances. Roporter—\When did they conclude to do othorwise ? . Aldermoan—bfondoy nfternoon. Reportor—At their caucus ? TIE LAW-AKD-ORDER CAUCUS. Atdorman—Yes. Dixon could count only four votes among them—Minor, Ileath, Woodmau, and tho others, cxcept four, wore ngainst him. That caucus was callod on fccount of informa- tion comng from, or brought by, Dixon. Reportor—What informution ¢ Aldorman—It was to the offect that ho conld zontrol {ivo of the Peopie’s Aldermen, and prob- ably seven. 2 ' Teportor—That was onough to clect him, with $ho votes of his own fmrl{}? 5 Aldorman—Probably. But in tho caucus it was decided that the "Law-and-Order Aldermen, of whom fourteon could bo countad _am, should ayt ehewy nrst ballols for Dixon, and in case ho gob enough votes from tho People’s Aldermon 10 secure his olection, that ballot would =oltlo it. If he did not, thoy dotermined to cast their votes for tho candidato of the Teople’s party who eeomed to thom Lest adapted for tho posi- tion, That was about all the eaucus did, and ou know the result,—the first ballot olected ixon, muck to the discomfiture of tho Poople's party, and especially to the chagrin of Mr. Hesivg. MR, HESING. Teportor—Have you socu Mr. Hesing to-day ? Ah[’nxmnn—ND, have not socn him; but I know ho came to the Council Monday night con- fident und jubilont, aud wont away with his tail between Lis logs. = 'FIE PEOPLE'S PATUIY. Reporfor—Do you think the People's party is deud # ‘Alderman—I do. = Roporter—What rossons lavo you for think- ing o ? Aldorman—Tho Aldermen of the Pooplo's* party who votod for Dixan ars now rogarded ag I'he loadors .of the party, Hosing, 0'Llnra, Caultleld, and tho reat of thom, do nul hesitate to denounce them a8 such, and throaton to_throw them oyorboard. * Teporter—\What docs that involve ? Al«Imnnu—u puts the party in o worso condi- tion than over, beeauso if they throw thom over sheir majority m tho Council 18 lost. oy have at tho wost only tweuty-thxco yotes, and without nuitod action thoy can accomplish nothing, WHO WERE THEY ? Tteporter—Are tho fivo or six Poople’s Alder- men who voted for Dixon kuown ? Aldorman—They oro ot absolatoly Inown, beeauso the ballot was & Bcerob oue, purposoly 10 taicen. Ttoportor—Why purposoly ? Alderman—In order to dofeat Cullerton, Ttoportor—How wus it brought about? Aldoiman—It was by & stroke of bad monngo- mont on the part of the leaders of 'the I’vople's party. ‘Thoy necd not havo voled Lo resort to a aeerot ballot 3 but they wero so coufident of their maejority and powor uud the fldelity of their Al dormon’that thoy consonted to it. Teportor—If tho votos hind boen given by yens and nays the disalTected Aldermen would not have voied, y Aldormun—Yes, that is truo; but, as I #nid be- foro, Lhoy wero contidout of boing ablo to oleot sheir cancny cundidato, Reporter—You have forgotten to give mo the anmes of the * traicors.” Alderman—"They are said to bo Iildreth, ©0'Brion, and White, of the Weat Bido, and Can- aon, Murphy, aud Stout, of tho North ido, But'of courxo thut is for the People's party to dotormine, My own opinton s, thut thoy have & gord muny * raitors ™ in their camp, who would acll them ont ot suy timo they found it to their individunl advantago to do so. MILDRETI, ? Reporter—Do you really think Hildreth votod for Dixon? - 5 Aldorman—No, I donot think ho did. Yot it i posiblo that Lo voted ngainst Cullerton, for you know ho was ambitious to bo the candidnto of hin party, and it may bo thut ho hoped, in cusio thero was no choice on tho first bullot, or in the ovent of & rupture, to jump in s o compromiso candidate, aud to bo sucoass- ful. Reportor—DBut ho denied in the caucus that ho Tiad aspirations for ofice, Aldorman—Thut was on account of his excos- sive modesty, and bocauso bo. would not then bave uu opportunity of sustaining hix roputation 84 the young Demosthones of tho Bighth Ward, I OUTLOOK, Toporter—What is your opinion of tho prosent situation of tho People’s party ? Aldorman—It is uttorly domoralized, I can- not see how they aro over to vecover. It i not probablo that thoy will over ho able 10 combine, now that the object for which thoy woro clected has boon accomphisticd,—the ropeul of the Bunday ordinanco,—buecauso esch one of thom, baviug an ax to grlnd, would suspect any oi_m‘nl?mnr. who pledged his faich to help him grind l6, - Roporter—You {ifink, thon, they havo lost conildenco in ono another? Aldorwan—You, ‘Tho vole of Mondsy night bavo spont ite fury to-day, - shows (hiat thoro ia no longor Lionor among bum- mord, MORATH, Toporter—Do you know why MoGrath and Jonas wero not prosent ? f Aldorman—I do not know why Jonas was not thoro, but the theory of McGratl'a nbronce ls that ha oxpectod a difforonca botweon the Aldor- mon of his party, and hoped that the Council would get into such a snarl that ho might pos- slbly bo tho compromise eandidato ; and that ho concluded that, in such an ovont, his_chances of olcction would bo bottor if Lo wora absont from tho moeting. DIXON, Reportor—What kind of a presiding officor will Dixon mnke? Aldorman—1Te was not the first choles of tho Law-and-Order prrty, but ho will undoubtedly mako n bottor proniding officor than any of tho Pooplo's party Aldormon would have mado, Roporter—iVhat object had Dixon in seoking tho oftlco ? . Aldorman—Ono that most pooplo would not suspect, Dixon hng n * vaulting ambition," and wauts to run for Congross noxt fall, sud ho con- fidontly hopos that hie onn_so manngo the Con- gronsionnl Convontlon of tho opublican party i to got tho nominntion. Ilo i o shrewd mnu, and has beon faithful’ to the party, and, at the #amo time, did not offond hin Irish friends at tho Inst clection, and they oling to him, and sot gronter storo on him than on_any other momber, porhaps, in tho Council. o lins not offanded "his ml[’[ilnun frioudg,—yon know, of courso, ho is &_Methodiut,—bocause ho acted with the Lawy-and-Ordor party, and, cvon on tho uight of his oloction, votod againat tho now or- gumncu authorizing the solling of liquor on Sun- ny. PATTIES GENFRALLY, . Roportor—Thnuls for what vou haye tald'mo ; but what do you think of the outlook? . Aldormuu—It is hard to tell.

AT REMM. It is said that Monday aftornoon Supt. Rohm wont to Mr. Hesing aud told him that he had lenrnod thnt six or sovon Aldermen, who were pledged to the Peopla’s party, had promised Arthur Dixon, if ho would give them important positiona on committces, that they would vote for him a8 President of the Council. Mr. Hesing Inughed nt the idea, aud snid it wau impossible for Aldermon to #®_stultify thomselves and go Dack on thoir snorod promisos, At tho Civy Hall, noarly halt of tho 23" wore montioned a8 Dbaing the backsliders, Ono Aldorman stated to the roportor of Tur.

Tho matter of trausportation ssoma to be the poculiar curso of cities, We gaih othor noces- garios and luxurios without grent diflulty. Water is brought to our binnds by invisiblo sor- vants who novor fail us, if tho taxis pald with promptuces, A tonch on the gas-burnor bright- ons tho evoning gloom with light, such as it is, Contrivancea aro made to clean and cool the stroets, Wo eun heat our dwellings m winter and opol them in summor, and thus surround * oursolyes with an‘ cquablo armosphero, froolng nnture from its principal discomfort; but when wo got out of doors, and find it necessnry to tra~ voise tho'great spaces that lio botwonu the domi- cif and tho mart, botwoen our homes and our business, wo confoss that wo must submit to tho Jagging atops of decropid hcrses, to tho awful Jingling of tho bolls—bolls—bolls, to-the rattle and clattor of tho 'bus, and, moré than all, must #oo our valuablo timo wasta itself in fmpatience ot the delnys and emall disnstors that are inci- dont to every horse-car trip, Toe wonr and tear of conacionco in this mattor is Iucalenlable. One doos not want to be too cu- rious, but the moral force wastod overy summor at Mndigon strect bridge, for iustance, the shat- fering of roligious resolves that it has cost, are not to bo under-ostimated. Thoy naro as portinont o consider in n great purposo like that of solving the quustion of transportation for the mnsses, as cut-slono on road-beds. But, to put them asido for the pros- ent, it will readily bo concedod thot this isa great diMculty and burden in any nspect, How to got nbout at tho lenst cost of timo and monoy, at the maximum of comfort, is the great ques- tion, Tho difficulty at tho outaot is that of prop- sonco of McGrath, its leader in the Council, o reporter called on :him lust even- ing to obtaln his views, in referonco to tho matter. Ho was found in his place of businoss, and woomed vory glad of b oppor- tunity to “air his mind.” He acknowledgod that he wag surprised, ehagrined and, as bo ox~ pressed it, * totally heat ™ by tho result of the voto. 1Ic waa vory bitter towards the * ronegndo Aldormen,” aud snid that soven of thom “dug thoir political graves Monday night.” When asked if ho_had suspected such o thing, hosaid no. o did not think before Monday night that there wore seven mombers of the Couucil who would go to n caucus, as thoy did in the Staals-Zeitung otlico, aud pledgo thomselves tovoto for o man, go and drink with lum for his succoss, and then * pell themsolves for places on committecs,” The reportor in- uived a8 to the McGrath lotter spoken of above. ‘oloy snid that it wns & base lio, and that tho person who started it was trying to shicld him~ gelf, Io recoived n tolegrom from McGrath asking whother ho would be needod at tho Conne cil, and had answerod that ho would, but for somo_renson McGrath could notcome, Ioley explnined why ho and Mr. Hesing claimed that thero wore * sovon renogado Aldormen,” Thoro wero, bosides SchnfTnor and Richardson, oloven Law-and-Ordor Aldormon, and Dixon got bub nineleon votes. Ono of tho. votos bolonging to Dixon was countad for Cuilerton, whoreas it should have been given to Dixon. Wiion asked who tho ‘““soven” wore, #nid ho was suro of five of thom, viz.: Hildroth, Caunon, O'Bricn, and’ Murph; that ho would Liave tho others within forty-eight hours, 'The * seven " wero prosout at the cau- cus in tho Staals Zeilung oftice, and there signed tho aereoment drawn up by Dan O'ilara, solomn- 1y promising to abido by tiie docision of tho caus cus, and to voto for its nomineo. Had McGrath boon ot the Council Monday night, he thought Cullerton would have boon elected, for the reso- lution to voto by ballot would not hayve boon car- ried,and the *‘sovon” would not have daied to have voted openly for Dixon, Foloy enid ho had al- woys boen . personal friond and n political suomy Of Arthur Dixon's, and ho belioved the latter thought moro of him to-duy than he did of any of the * ronogade soven.” THE TILLEY PLAN. Another hypothesis which was propounded to account for fhis oxtraordinary rosult was that it was all due to tho now Court-House, which is in reality about the only question at issuo in city politics at the prosont timo: the point in dis- puto boing, shail the Court-Ifouse be commenced this year, and shnll Tilley's plan_ho adopied or that 'of some other individual sabatituted. Itis well known that Ald, Dixon was a friond of Mr, Tilley, whilo Cullerton, the nomince of the I'coglu'u Aldermen, was opposed o that arche itect. Cullerton’s compotitor, Iildreth, is an outhusiastic friond of Tilloy, and was specinlly dosirous of becoming presiding ofiicor in_order to advance tho intcrest of his friend, Thero wera eovopal Aldormen nt that caucus who aro inextricably ontangled with Tilley, and thoy would o groat deal sooner voto ~for u Law-and-Order man, who favored Tilley, than for one of their own #ot who is onposed to him. It is aesorted that, if eithor Hildioth or M. B. Bailey had received tlio nomiuation in the Slaals-Zeitung Building, o would have had the unitod supportof ull the People's Aldormen ; but, the moment there wns a prospoct of putiing into tho presiding ofticor's chair an individunl who was not sound on tie Court-Tonro quos- tion,, these flve individuals deserted and went over Lo tho other sido, MR, HESING Foley Btout, and orty-rights, and it mny be stated right hore that tho soonor & city sota abont maiing Arranio- mlwh for an extensive aud comprehensive plan o INTRA-MURAL TRANSPORTATION tho cheapor und casfer 1t will bo to accomplich tho object sought.

Passengers going north would bonrd tho trmn on the woat sido of the track: they would gob off on the other sido, nud thus provent confuslon and dolny, Goiug south this plan wonld bo réveraed, Deople vory soon fall'into thosp ways. Thero would bo less chanco for an scnidont, much Toss, than in gotting on ordinary trains.

W.—On the South Side at Wabash avenuto and ‘Whashington, Adsms, Harrison, Twolfth, Soven— toenth, and Twonty-second stroots, and so on, and alRo in the circle_on the South Side. The principal dopot would bo at Jackson strcet and Fifth ovenuo.

Mr, W.—Noa on the contrary they would bo vory light. Thoy certainly would. not bo 50 por cont of what it costs to run horao cara, Thero isono point sbout it that yon must takeinto considoration, by the way. A railrosd is not to be estimated on ‘tho samo basis a8 o street lino; Dbecouso we could - tap the outlying town as far north as Lako Forest and south to South Chi- cago, and west to Riverside, or beyond.

Crooks, mounted snow-shoes, and startod out on top of tho rnow to meot tho plow-train, which for two days hes beon muking its way from Alla. ~Aftor o most fatiguing tramp wo mot tho plow, throo miles from hero, stuck in the snow. Thore wera ton immeusn en- giues boluud it, and tho power thus brought to Doar was something torrific, The snow lay pilod up in front of the great plow in one solid mnss 20 feot high, whore it had boon forced back bo- fora tho prow. Tho train was jmmovable, and the largo forco of mon aceompanying it were busily ongaged shoveling it out. In loas than half an hour the train was oll clear and rondy for anothor Luck, a8 thoy call it boro. Fillmore perchied tho corro. spondent on top of the plow; and, climbing up himsolf, with tho other gontlemon, gavo tho sigual, and tho fon ongines backed down for noarly a milo; then, roversing tho motion, overy throttle was 'oponed wido, nnd, with o spring that almost knooked * everybody off his_ feot, tho bLugo plow sprang for- ward. Tho ton enginos sbricked and hissed, tho mon yollod and wildly gosticulatod ; tho black smoke poured from overy funnel and hung on the plow liko a pall. The loud rumblo of the hnge iron-bonked monster ns it.flew over tho track, tho hissing, roaring din, aud the chorus of shrioking demons _behind, all mado_up a scono that would blanch tho boldest cheok, Col. Donohue heldon to the life-rops with o grip that would linve crushed a walnut. Hissplendid "iron-gray hair stood out from his hoad like steel spikoy, and Lis oyes blazod like the head-light of & locomotive, "' TR > I'ho plow cloared the open snaco at a bound and plunged into tho snow at the rate of thirty ‘miles an liour. 'Tho enow being damp and hooyy it did not fly so much, The great bonk of tho monstor toro it up in hugo masses and hurled it in cnormous chuuks into tho air, and_ eont it tumbliog in tous down the mountain side. Tho ton enginos crowded on all the stonm they could bear, Tho mon shouted, the whistlos scraamed, Col.

Fiunlly the train ran into o cut in which the suow was at leant ten foot deop, «Slower aud slower grow tho speed, londer and Toudor hissed thie engines, wildor and wilder woro the- wild gesticulations of #io raurond men, tightor and tightor grow Col, " Dono- buo's grip on tho life-ine, It was no use, Hlo\vll{ tho great machine crowded into the drift. With groans and tre- mondous and tromulous vinrbtions sho labored with tho cnormous pressure fiom bobind, but finally thero was o balt, A groat sigh of rolicl from tho demons in the roar, and tho snow-plow. was stuck fast sgain in the drift. At 1 o'clock, amid the cheers of the railrond- men, tho lwluw stopped within 10 foot of tho wrecked plow of Suturday night. That ond of the rond waa clear, and all hands rejoicod thut thoir Inbors wero ovor, BLur OavoN, March 0—0 p, m, Theo gnow-plow from Emigrant Gap, with ita toam of tou engines, was dug out_of the houso above here about au hourago. TFor half-n-milo ubove, the road winds around the north sido of tho eanon, and it iu full viow from this stavion. Word was'sont mo that the plow was backing down for o fresh run at the drift. Col.

The sight was grand, Backing down some distance {or tha rum, tho ton ongincs camo at tho snow witha rush and_s powor that was fearful. Tho snow was 80 deop that nothing conld been but tho top of the plow and tho ten black funuols, from which tho smoke and stoam poured forth in hugo voluinos. It wan just gotting duslk, and tho showar of sparks from each pipo seomed liko tho ohimneys of so many seothing furnnces. Tho snow wag thrown up in front of tho plow in frnnc orestod waves, and rolled back in bil- lows and down (ke mountain side in masses which craghed through the {rozen cataract, and glietenor the twilight lko frosted mlvor. With the power af nthousand giants tho train pushed forward. Whon within a fow hundred yards of the station it ngain stuck fast, and furtlior progross was im- possiblo. Thore ara only now those fow hundrod yards that have not beon gono over onco by tho plows.
