Tue speaker's arguments yere well digested snd ekillfully sdvanced, whilo be much supassed his piedecessor in the ease 1d attractiveness of bis delivery. JOBN CUBRER sppeared to represent the Sopaomore class and Iaintain the negative of the question. Hecon- tended that Napoleon theo cngeror could hardly have rendered bis cereer of bevefit tosthe World when the other civilized nations found it necessary to combine to suppress hus sgeres- gions. e paralyzed the industries of France, and uofitted its cizizeus for civil life. — Napo- loon, after ho had scquired power, could bave avoided &Il his wars withont stsin on the _patiopal honor. Currer presented s woll-considered series of arguments, and his address was very crodit- able, though lacking in vivacity. 3. H. BATES tloged the debate npon the sffirmative. To him, 33 40 thie others opon his side of the question, Napoleon's cateer sppeared to have been of in- ealcolable benefit to France and the world. The epeaker summed up the arguments of his col- leagnes, added to their strength, and combared thoss of their oppovents. He was creditsbly P. M. TAYLOR annibilated the fallacions arguments zo boldly advanced by theu Jniore, and terminated the de- bate oy an able speech. ~He proved, to his own stistaction, that Napoleon's career was far from hsving been of enough bemefit to the world to compensate forthe injurios it produced. THE JUDGES were Megsrs. R. F. Queal, Amherst W. Kellogg, 23 G, G. Paine, Mrs. L R. Hitt and Miss Alice F.Conkey. Their decision will e announced bereafter. 5 THE EXEBCISES inthe main were creditable, the matter of the specches being superior to the manner in which ey were delivered, but tho debates wero 100 long-winded to retain their audience to the end. The speeches were interspersed with musio bys siring band. THE ALTMNT ASSOCTATION.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Siz: In regard to the macter aud necessity of farther accommodation to move the people in the Soutn Division from the suburbs on horse- railway lines to the business centre, I find, on inquiry, thatin New York City there are no lesa than ton parallel lines runuing north aud south, consisting of the Tanth, Ninth, Eighth, Seventh, and Sixth avenue, Broadway, aud University Place lines, Fourth avenue, Third avenne, Sec- ond avenue, and South street lines. Some of which have as many as four tracks, or two double tracka in the streets. The Bouth Chicago Railway havo been applied to to extend their track in several localities further south, and they are willing to do so, but, with the present crowded condition of btate street, it is impos- mible to runm sny more cars, making it an absolute necessity for more room, and an additional trunk ine. The State street, Archer avenue, Cottage Grove, and Indiana avenue cars have all at present to come in on State street, 80 that the street is almost blockaded, besides, what 18 more important, the railway is prevented from increseing the time, of which thero has been so much just complaint. ! f the Railway Company had Wabash avenue, it could bring the cars fully eight minutes faster from Twenty-second to_Madixon street, thercby accommodating the business public in a very im- portant matter. A car is now started every thirty seconds on State street, on tho South Bide Railway alone, and tho confusion is very great at times. The traveling public have their rights, snd de- mand easy and _quick transic. In all Eastera cities, tsoston, New York, and especially_Phila- delphis, every facility is given by the city su- thoritics to carry the people where they waat to . It is moreover made a matter of economy in these cities, and the horse-railway lines aro extended even into the very steam-railway depots for the accommodation of the public. The Wabash avenue property-owners, covering 15,000 fect of frontage botween Twenty-second and Madison streets, have signed, and sre asking for & new line on this frontage. They wish the South Chicsgo Railway Com- any to build and operate this new ice, They have the right by sn unquestioned xnd nearly unanimous application to the Ciiy Council to have this road built. The only oppo- gition that we can learn comes froms very small juterest, and from the store-owners on State Btrect, whoare not willing to let the cars, or part of them, go on Wabash avenue. State street Wants =il tho business, all the craffic, all the cars —aversthing. L, Caxcao, June 19, 1674 CLEANSING THE RIVERL. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sm: The communication from * Ol1d Chica- go,” suggesting artesian wells 8s a means of Purifying our river and its branches s worth more thau & passing notice. That this plan is feasible,comparatively cheap, and will sccomplish the end' songht for, bardly admits of an argu- ment. 1 am credibly informed that this plan has sug- gested itself 10 others, and that a compsny 18 Bow foming in this city, for einkiog artesian wells upon a naw process, which sccomplishes the work at & grest saving of time ond cost, and that if the city will entertain the idea, fhey will enter into good and wuflicient bonds to eink artesian wells at the bead-waters of the dif- ferent branches which ehall diechargo asufiicient Yolume of water into tho samo to deodorize and purify the stream, and eptirely neutralize all of- Tensive contaminstions, and that, at most, $150,~ 000, and perhaps, upon & moro careful estimate, $100,000, would accomplish the result. claimed that the smallness of our It is desth-rate, as compared With other citios of equal population, is due _ to the fact that the ‘puro ‘water of the lake in all timew of high nothern winds is forcel in the Chicago Iuver, aud as far up 8 their influence is felt purifies il water, but this fact, although of great value, ie only partial, in ita offects: but 1f we oan, by artisean wolls, bave & constant supply of pure water coustantly flow- ing in at the head-wators of theee branches, that i Teet and mingle with this_occasioual’ flow from the lake, we shall have a city the bealthuest, 26 1t is now 28 healtby as any, city on the face of the globe, sud thien ** Chicago” will no longer ba the srnonym of s offensive animal, but e shall have water 1n our river and its branches nearly a8 pure as that which naturo draws down from tho ek, or as that from the well which the angel pointed out to Hagar for the funtiug Ishmael. Circaao, June 19, 1674 G.R.E MUSIC AT TUNION PARK. To the Editor of the Chicago iribune: ‘St + 1 noticed 8 communication in one of tho city pavers, s few days ago, from a West Sido Jover of music, complaining that partiality is ghown to the North-Siders in that they cre fur- nished fres concerts in Lincoln Park twice 8 ook, whito suffering West-Siders are allowed cither to go eutirely without that luxury this soneon, or epongd on the North Side.

Furiher, that all tho concerts en at Union Park last summer wero pad for by subscriptions which I procared by personal application to numerous hberal Wese-Siders.

The knife found in the basement was dripping with gore, and evidently had just been used by & desperate men. All that can be ascertaived regarding the man who escaped was that his name i8 * Chris” —, that lLe is a brother-in-law of Sorriceno, and that they bave been residing together at the same house. The inferences are that tha two men were quarreling, when Chrs, being stavoed by the Italian fired at him, the ball missing its mark. He fell over to asoid apother thrust from the murderous kuife, end, on seeing the oflicer, made of. ‘Lhe author- ities are on the search for ** Chris,” aud whea ho is captured the mystery will be solved.

The great aim uf directory-makersin Chicago bitherto has been to provalgniano city of sur- prising impoxtance. _ As this is already an sxiom, ers put in an appearance and the sum paid out | 1 compilers seem to miss the point. What1s wauted is, a directory wnich will givo an unerr- ing bst of names with relizble ! dence. The wonderrul giowth and overpower- ing Yopnlation dodze is s little old.

The sverage Chicago policeman is & person with one idea, If Le secs a man stumble over & broken plank in the sidewalk, he * runs him in " as druok and disorderly; it a decent person happeus to be out after 11 o'clock at night, he is “ruy in"” as drunk and disorderly ; if he knock twice at his door, having forgotten his latch-key, the charge “drunk and disorderly” is booked sgainst bim at the nesrest precinct station. These are the woes of life. The bluo cloth and silver star are tho badges of our martyrdom. But in the Dominion of Hyde Park matters are still more serious. The official clup is the sceptre of the despot, and & sound above s whisper, a breath above & sigh, is the signal for cruel incarcoration and & narrow escape from the gallows. Friday night a party of young ludies snd gen- tlemen of Hyde Park were out oo & mild lemou- ude and soda-water spres. They occupied an enormons wagon for there ware forty of them. Elated by carbonic acid gas, they roveled in tha sitver beauties of the youvg moon ot midnight. As they drove down Osk Wood Boulevard to ) Graud ~ Boulevard, ono of them.—a geo- tleman, probally like David of old.— exalted & horn and blew blast, which medo the million _mosquitoes ' pause with envions wonder, and the young ladies of the patty rammed their delicate fingers into thorr still more delicate eara. ‘The startled woods took up the straio and called it back with fainter voices in alarm to one another. The pale stars trembled in the sky, quivering with_expeciation. Thero was one star, a recond Lucifer, who hen:d that sound, and thrilled with detight. The Llast but stirred bis warlike toul. He answeted with 2 blast upon his shrilly pipe, sud silencod tho etupefied cricketa in the bedze, The woods disdained & notice of this inhsrmonious sound, but waat the leafy graves disowned, another star too eagorly claimed, and in & momeut & sound bolder aud mora shrill replicd. The phenomenon was explained by the sppear- ance of two of the Hyde Fark gendaimes—in Chicago, policemen—who surrounded tho KonK soda-water revelers, captured tho wagon, an drove them to the Hyde Patk Bastile, using the most ipsulting and disgracefal lenguage. Thero in tha darkening pight theso forty persons sat shivering uvder lock and key, The stronger memvers were sorry they had not licked the olice ; tho ladiea taunted them with cowardico. Hhio aray morning sbed its ghasily light upon faces tired, wan, and wrinkled The mid- night revelors could pot have looked moro hagesrd or forlorn had they spent therr earlier Lours iu bacchanaliaa beverages, or horns more potent than sounding brass. At 8 o'clock they wero marsbaled in sad array befsre tho dread tribunal of tue Dominion. ‘Ihe grave ofiicers narrated the offente, and dwelt upon its enormity. The Juetice counted their votes npon his fingers. Here were eightcen able-bodied voters agawet two sble-bodied voters. ‘Tho prisoneis ore discharged,” said bo, with great fSeverity of tone, and the weary girls and their iooping knights stolo quiotly away. It was a great day for the Dominion. Tuhe gendarmerie of Hrde Park will receive nomore libations from the liberal purses of their victims. They are un- der a ban. The epitit of the Great Revolution iw abrond among the valiant esquires of the Dominion. Aad the time is not far distant when those two gendarmes will be rofused credit at overy bar in Hyde Parit, mcluding tuat most confiding on of public opinion. Tho tair given at Burlington Hall in sid of St. Thomas' Catholic Church, Hyde Park, proved tobe s wondorful financial success, Conducted unon liberal priuciples 1t wonid have been strange if the rosult had beeo different. The receipts smounted to nearly $3.000, which mora than covered the debt of the church. —Facher Flunnigan snd s rarishioners, especially tha yousg ladien of the church, deserso great credit Tor this result, in:Riuch a8 they appealad to & town of nrignificaut importance and gave Chi- capo Catholics an opportutity to show their svmpathy for struzeling brethren in the remote empiro of Hyde Park. It was a deop and profit- able missiouary venture, fnlly appreciated. "Tne closing exorcises of Kenwocd Seminery took place last evening at the institution, Thore was » large audience present, the ha'l adjoining ! the recitation-room and the stage being called iuto roquisition to accommodate the crowd. The gcholars gonerally exhibited great proficiency in the elocutionary art. They received great praise and applause, and carried off fons of flowers, it could almost ba said, which sere showered upon them by their enthusisstic admirers. Where oll were so excellent it may Joox liko favoritism to sccord praiso to any in porticular, but to Misses Grace Williams, Mary ~ Williams, and Maud Kernicott, possibly the bighest praise is due. The recitation of Cataline's defiance, by the firet nemed, it being = part that fow school girls wonld care to attempt, was rendered ox- cecdingly well. The ficense question in Hyde Park comes be- fore the Doard of Villago Trustees Monday evening. TRVING PART.

A considerable outside beip is looked for, some of which has already been promised, with moro than expected Liberality. The matter is in the hands of some of the lead- ing citizens of the place, who will, doubtloss, push the cons.ruction of the edifice furwazd to rapid completion when once commenced. RIVED PABK.

He said that ia bis mosion tho name was somewhat changed from the original one. He was opposed to the name of Workingman's party, becauso thiere wero plenty of women who Lked to join the Association, and therefore be had decided to call it Working-People's Association. Nothing could bo accomplished without tuo aid of women. They bad come together for the same purpose which inspired the abolitionists, namely, the eman- cipation of the ulaves. Althougl there were none- groes or Chinamen to be freed. still thousands of workingmen were languishing in_bondage. It was humanity which they bad to lberate. this country, as well as in Europe, existed 3 baud of reformers who demanded o government in which the people wil be the rulers and the exceutors of tho pablic will. MR. REYNOLDS introduced, as an amendmeut to Mr. Westrup's motion, the folowing resolution Resolved, That the platform of this political reunfon ahould be'ilie Constitution, and its object to form 3 Ducleus through which all classes, without regard to sex, color, section, or party, can regain their soverign 11giita and oquality. ‘He said thut ho mada this motion becsuse it id away with the objoctions which aro raised 2gmmst the Internativoals. ‘Mr. McAuliffe opposed Mr. Reynolds® resolu- tion, saying that be wanted no high-flowiog phtases, vor soy bumbngging.

But when workiozmen arrayed them- selves mgainst the capitalsta they hurt themselves. [Sensation aud Isnghter.] They bad to work in naity with the capitalists 80 that they could earn good wages, [Voices: ©What is your business:”] Mr. Roberts in- formed them that it was nona of their business.
