CONTEST FOR SOUTH SIDE TOWN OFFIOES, ‘Whon our Now England forefathers instituted township organizations thoy, to all appenrance, .did not caleulato on tho dovelopmont of patri- otio feeling in this particalar community. . Thoy nover drenmed of the advent of such publio benofactors as those who recently voted thom- solves munificont salaries for doing little or woshing. But tho ovil-is among us, it has taken deop root, and wo must do the bost wo can un- der tho circumstances. What is that *bost”? Lot us consider. TAST TEAR. ‘When the South Town officos wore up for con- test Inst April, it will be romombored that Pat~ rick O'Brien, surnnmed ““Pat,” surrendorod his pretensions to the Collectorship for the posi- tion of Supervisor. Dlichael Evans, surnamed * Mike"—a pot namo among his Feo lo—mng- nonimonsly “caved” in favor of r. Qleary, Impnlnrly known as **the Colouel.” The lattor has had bis day. Ho won that race, or, rathgr had, by congont, a walk over the course, and now tho othor two patriots aro candidates for tho same ofiice. Thus South Chicago is furnishod with three henvy champlons—all naturnlized citizong—who aro to contest with each othor all around—throe-cornored liko—for that little £10,000 and *tho pickings” going thorewith. Lot their respoctive morits be considered. MIOHAEL, Dlichnel Evans, fondly tormed * Mike," is an Irish gontloman of Welsh extraction, as his namo indicates, Ho is from somo place in the neighiborhood of the oxtensive and picturesque bog of Allen, Whether his progenitors camne over to Ireland with Strongbow and Fitzste- phen, in the twelfth contury, or swhother his grandfather camo_from Wales in tho train of Sir Willinn Watking Wynne, who com- manded that alrocious corps known as the “ Anciont Britons " in the Robollion of 1798, hns not boen definitoly decided, although Dr. AL A. O'Bronnan, the Irish Archmologist, could easily solvo tho problom, if consulted, At all ovents, ¢ Mike " looks very like n Wolshman and speaks with an nccont that would do credit to a ualive of Cardigun or Glamorgau. THIS WELSU DROGUE 18 a great drawback to Mr. Ivans’ success in life, although ho basdone protty woll, considor- ing that his Inshism is not of the vory deopeat nud greenest dyo, ko is undoubtedly popular with a cortnin elemont. He ongincers half o dozou saloons, and the Clan Evans has thus & widae-sprend influenco. Mr. Evons thinks that Tis loug standing in the community, his numor- ous following, his plentitude of liquors, and his gorvicos to the Itopublic, in the way of providing its citizons with oxhflum\ut; rofroshments, ons title him, takon altogother, to A TURN IN OFFICE where he may turn an honest penny, or a hundred thoassnd pennies, if nocessary, in tho way of scrving the people whom his heart udores. Miko is wise in his goucration, and hus taken timo by the top-kuot, He gave way to Cleary onco, he says, but no more of that for him, ~The Colonol las fonthered his nest, and Hoavon forfond that tho House of Evaus shonld bo loft aut in tho cold, st year thoro was only one polling-place, and that was strongly guarded by tho adherents of the military man. This: aar thero aro soveral, and Mike has takon care 0 organizo A CITOSEN GUATID OF VETERAN VOTERS dnly sworn in and enrolled as *‘Tho Evaus En- ginoors,” These warriors are warrantod to have n0 conscionce, and their solomn pledgo hinds them to vote early and ofton. Thoy muster 200 nll told, are provided with fron horso-car tickots, nnd eomo flying artillery in tho way of wagons, nnd will, no doubt, do fearful execution on tho oy of battle. Ench man ig provided with a can-, teen filled with Dlike's best extract of barloy- vorn, g0 that tho spirits of tho soldiery may not flag. Mike, with tho military genius “which he hes inherited from his romoto ancestors, has, u prudont General, taken every precaution .to insure success. His guards will start for Bridgeport ecarly in_tue morning, aud, haying voted in all the precincts possiblo, will dunl- Iy come down to tho Firat Ward, whore they will concludo their patriotio labors. By sundown they expeot to havo a majority rolled up for their commander thnt nothing can overwholm. After tho battle is over, if, as thoy fondly hope, thoy aro _successfal, the General will entortain them right myn\l({ at his alooholic palace, cor- nor of LaSallo and Adams strects.

This champion is lincally descended from Drian Boru, who mashed tho Danes into & jolly on tho storied plaius, or ennds, of Clontarf, ad- Jacent to Dublin City. A LIMERICR DOY. The subject of the present sleteh was born on the shady side of the *Treaty-stone of Limer- lek,” on'the River Bhannon, and his infaut wail was loui: romembored by tho pooplo of that dis- triet a8 having been piteked in O natural,” and sung to tho inspiriu[f airof “Garryowon-na- Glora," Nr.

This brick has beon Patrick’s talisman in the'United Statos. 1lo has convorted it into gold. Troud of his descent trom tho gallant line of Thomond O'Brien, he thought that It would be a pity to leave a man with tho blood of the Danc-slayer in bis veing out of office. According ho obtainod the Town Bupervisorship us y A BTEFPING-STONE and persuaded hiwsolf to vote for and accopt a salary of 82,600, to himsolf, for ornamonting tho chinir at hulf n dozen Board meetings.

Torly yostorday morning the fortunes of the O'clonry and tho O'Brien wore united against Michaol Evans, Patrick of Thomond consentod to run s Buporvisor on tho samo tickot with Potricke of Tipporary, who hlung ont s shingle for the Colldctorahip. In this way thoy hopod to bafllo the wily Evans, but tho Iattor wns moro than o match for thom. His “on- gincors” wont to work enrly, and did oxcellont sorvico in most of tho wards, complotoly baflling tho allied cohorts, who woro irrevocably dofeated in the Second, Third, and Bixth Wards. THE FIRST WARD, In tho Firat Ward tho voto was a tie, 26 boing cenat for oach sot of dolegates. It is proposed to sottle thedifliculty by making up o scratch ticket, or hialf-in-hnlf of oach delegation. Tho following is the Evans ticket of the First Ward: Philip Conloy, Philip Schink, James Btinson, Jon Hickoy, B. Jindorfl, . W. Lof- tug, James Armstrong, Thomas Toloy. Subjoined _is the Cleary tickot of tho samo ward : Tom Foley, W. .

Itis explained that the number of votes cast in the Third entitlos it to tho forogoing large ropresontation. Tho opposition ticket had no show of success.

Both pots of delegates will attempt to gnin ad- mission to tho Convention, which offort will doubtless involve o handsomo row with the Com- mittee on Credentials, The Convention will moot at 8 o'clock to-day in tho Council Chambor. ———— THE LAW CONCERNING TOWN RAT- TERS, - TIn order to lesrn something of tho position in which the new Township. Orgavization act loft tho Town Boards and officers, » TRIBUNE roport~ or yostorday oalled upon Mr. Rountree, Connty Attornoy, Stato Representative, and sponser to tho above-montioned bill. SRARCHING FOR INFORMATION. & Mr. Rountree was found ahout 8 o'clock in his, now oflico on the Wost Bide, and with him were Justices Austin and Walsh, of the West Town Board, Their objeot being eimilar to that of Tne TRIUNE roporter, the substance of their convoreation is given herewith, Thoy desired to know whother tho Town Board could logally appropriste any sum in oxcess of 21,600 per annum for the Collector’s salary, or over 35 per day for the Asgossor’s snlary ; aiso whother the town warrants which thoy tind slroady obtained in excess of the above rates were valid, DMr. Rountreo said that he could ouly give an opinion a8 a friond to the gontlomon. As Coun- ty Atturnoy, he was only required to attond to county mattors. * Justico Austin replicd that thoy knaw of nono olso 8o woll qualiied, to glve on opiufon, and thought ho ought to help thom. TIE COLLECTOR'S PAY. Mr. Rountroo said that as fur wi the Colleo- tor's salary was coucerned, ho thought the law contemplated giving bim $1,600 and no more, On the point as to the validity of tho warrants which thie town officors bad’ alrendy obtained, Mr. Rourtroe was not preparcd immediately to fi’lvu ::ln?npmlon. Had tho warrants already been B0 Justico Waleh eid thoy had boen in the hands of tho ofiicors since the ovenng before. Mr. Rtountroe asked whether, if theso men had taken money out of the ‘I'reasury, the town could not suo thom and rocover the amouut, the BAIIO 08 nn( Ilri\ml.n individual Justico Walsh snld that they might obtuin Jjudgmont, aud yot fail to recover anything out of tho ofticors. Tho Justice then stated that tho point which the Collector mide was that ho was ontitled to 2 por cont commisvion, and if that was iusufll- ?{nuc,l the Board could ;voto lim 91,600 addi- onal, TIHE LAY, Mr. Rountroo in reply read tho statutoe, as fol- lOwWH Eacl Town or District Collector il bo allowod a commieslon of 2 por cent on oli monvys eollectod by Lim, to bo paid out of tho respective funds colleeted 3 Provided, Thut fu any caso whero the compensation 50 allowed ‘shull b Jususicient, tho Town or County Tonrd may ullow on additfonal compeneation, or per diom, in ilou of other or grestor comuistions, i which case_anid ndditional compensation ghall bo paid out of the Tawn or_County Trcasury, a8 the caso may requiros And provided further, That ull oxcess of commigstous_sud feew over $1,600 eball bo paid fnto tho Town or District Treasury, .

Ho thon reaflirmod lLis opinion, that the Iaw allowod no moro than 81,600 for the Colloctor, and @5 por doy for tho Asscssor, * ‘I'io Bonrd hiad no right tonsacss or lovy any furthor amonnt than was neoessnry to pay tho salarics nt that rate, EXTRA ONARGEA. Juatleo Anatin then requested the County At~ tornoy’s opinion on snothor point, ‘Iho Assoss- or had progoutod two chargos for atationory, ouo of §16 and_anothor of 390 ; thoso ohnrgos were for a poouliar kind of rnled paper which tho As- seagor cinimod was cssentinl in proparing tho booke. It wns similar in form to tho books thomsolvos, bub the lattor could not bo handled 80 conveniently, honco this pnror was used aud tho figurea ooplod into tho booka, Mr. Rountrco wishod to know whothor the county lind_not furnished all tho necossary stne t{onory, aud Justico Walsh said it had, bu the Assossor could do his work casior with this apor. ) b 1{’(1'. TRountree thought he hnd no rl%ht to charge it to the town, Ie might as woll sny that o horso and buggy woro cssontial and charge thom also. Mr., Rountroo promised to give an opivion in writing upon tho points raifed boforo the meot- ing of tho Wost Sido Doard to-morrow, aud tha conforonco broke up. 5 THE NEW LAW, Rolative to the Township Organization law, Mr, Rountroo snid that ho had dovoted »_good donlof timo to tho study and proparation of this measure, and Lo thought the objootionablo fea- tures of the littlo whools within wheols wore nonrly all oliminated by the lnw as pnssed. There seemod to have been some misundor- atanding about tho Erovln(qn which removed from 'Cown Boords the right to approprinto ox- orbitant enlaries for thoir town ofiicors. Tho sec- tron in as follows : In towns in which there aro incorporated oities or vllln&as’ the boundarics of which are cooxtensive witli tho limfts of the town, or the town lies wholly within tho limits of an incorporated oity or village, iho eleo- tora shisll not oxerciso tho sovernl powers contained in subdivisions of Sec, 3 of this article, nomely: 3, 6, 0, 7,8, 9,10, 11, 12, ond 13; but sll moneys nocossary 1o Da ralsed in puch towns' for town exponscs shall bo ascortained by tho County Beard, and the County Clark sbiall oxtond the amotnt s ascortained npon the Collector's booke of such town, and, when cdlleated, tho same shall bo pald over to the Town Suporvisors, tho pamo o in other towns, and tho powera and pro~ vislons of all citios ard villnges undor their organio 1aw sholl not bo repealed by any of the provisious of this articlo, TIE FEE DILL, approved Maroh 29, 1873, and in forco July 1, 1872, fixed tho snlarios of all town oflicers, and all that remafnod for the County Bonrd was to ealoulnto, from tho snlaries fixed by that bill, tho smount required to pay them and the neces- exponsges. Tho County Board would thion authorize tho Town Board “to lavy that amount, and no more. It wonld be impossible for tho Inttor to voto thomsolves any more monoy, since it could not be raised by taxes nor any other menns. This was tho whole effect of the saction, T'he powers whicl it prevented the Town Board from excroising, spocifiod sa Subdivisions 8, 5, 6, oto., of Seo. 3, woro tho whole powors of raix- ing monoy by taxation usunlly exercised by Town Bonrds in places whero no city or villago organization oxisted, TUE COUNTY TOARD. Horenftor tho County Board would tako the Foo bill, as amouded in one or two features by Mr, Rountree’s bill, for a guide in fixing tho omount of taxes Which the Town Bonrd would bo Pnrmittudlo lovy, and, if the former sghould determine that §5,000 was suflicient for the town oxponsce, the ‘Intter could ouly vote Inrgo kalaries by obtaining from Sonator Lopan o right to uso his patentod invontion of making five dollars out of ono. HOW ARE TIIEY TO DISUORGE ? This apparontly settlos the question in its logal phase ; the problom of the bour is, how to make tho presont grabbers disgorgo the amounts thoy have alrondy drawn in excoss of their legal nlaries?2 Tho Town Boards Lnve voted onor- mous salarios; the Collectors, Assessors, and othors hnve pocketed most of the money, snd tho majority of them are disposed to stick™ thoir hands doop into their overladen pockots, and say, *Well, what are you going to do nbout it " Thay, take partioular duh’fihb in nnyinfi that this fuss is only a nowapaper llurry aftor all, aud they consider itof too little- consequonce to give it any serious attention. BENATOR I'GRATH. In a conversation botweon Tne TRIDUNE ro- porter and Senator McGrath, the lntter ex- prossed the snme viows as those of Mr. Itountreo, and said that the Legislature would have abolished the Town Boards of Chicago quickly enough if it had not been impossiblo 50 to do undor the Constitution, which required wni- formity in township organization. As it was, thoy did tho best thoy could do by taking awny all tho authority of those Boards fo levy taxes. They might go on now and vote themaelves what %ny ])lp'n!ml, but they could not get any monoy pay it. Iu roply to tho suggestion that they had al- ready socoured a_ good portion of their plunder, tho Scnntor said that lpnxlmps that nunh], not bo holped under she old law. Tho Collector was on- ly allowed 31,500 salory, to be suro, but there waa nothing {0 provent the Board from addihg & donntion of $8,600 if thoy saw fit, Their power bhad been absolute under the old law, and they were responsiblo to none, but horesfter thoy would be providentinlly restrained from doing ‘much mischiof, . b, e MISCELLANEOUS, * The following letter has boon received from Town-Olerk Schaoffer.
