Apnouncements, Ete. JUDGE I’ALLISTER. (Congressional matters in the Third District wyve mken & very importaut chisogo within the just twenty-four hours. It is now a pretty well wiished fact tuat Judge MeAliister, of the eme Court, bas been solicited, though he Lssnotyet consented, to runfor Congress on the O; poeition vckiet. Tho uame of Afr. J. V. Ledoyne was previously before tho voters of \te Third District, but the friends of Judge Mc- Allsier claim tuat the latter gentleman would be \ frmore formndable rivel to Charley Farwell. Eebss severa! points in his favor : First,beiss sident of Lake County, his abode being in Wau- fipuo, which gives bim a strenpth there that poresident of Cook County could hore to pos- s, Second, he is known just as well in Chica~ goa¢ in Lake County. Tuird, heis immenscly {opelar Witk the Irih voters, and can smash Twweil all to pieces in that direction. Fourth, peis well jiked by the Germans, and is slmost erivereally admired Ly the Americans. Fifth, beis o furist of tried integrity aud of high capa- 1ity, aud bis sdveut in Wasbington would bean tozor to the Thud Corgressional District of Iiras. Judge McAllister bas served so long and so srocesly ina judicisl capacity tLat the susin zpcn bim is s'most too much for his health. Tle Lalls of Congress would open to Lim a new sza more Lriliizut caieer,—one that would enlist cil ks toculiics and make him 8 noted mon fzopg tue legwslators of his country. Tho friexds of Juupe McAliister are coulident of Lis success, £nd hus propused nomination is a bomb- gheil iv the Farwel cawp, e name of Judge McAllister has been trouzht fursard nou merely ou account of his Udity, but_since 1t Las been questioned wuctuer sir. LeMoyne. who was he caudidate geaizst r. Farwell two years ago, would, iu view { recent kickness, accept a nominaticn. It is yet certain whether Judge MeAllister will re- tie cerwiniy of a seat on the Supreme i 1or the discomfuris of & Congresional contest. CCOE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DIS- TRICTS. The furore for State legislative honors has derably eubsided 1n the Chicago and Cook Cousty districis since lustelection. Nobody ap- pears 1o care much for tho oflica of making new lawe aud remodeling old ones for Hiinois. The chief reason for this indifference is, no doubt, Iack of fat stipend. Five dollars a day, short ileage, and §100 for stationery and other lit- tle muiters, do not tempt the average politician tobe patrioticm the direction of Springfield. Iat there ere yet & few men who hanker after the absurd tile (wheuco comes it 2) of * Honor- chie.” Datrick O'Shaughoeesy, Hans Lager- beerum, or John Tompkins are plain-sounding names enough, but with what grandeur they leom up when the magic ‘‘Hon.” 1s placed before them. It is an Lomiliating fact that the better cluss of our citizens actually despise ¢ Legislature, and are Legioning to look upon it as n ope-horee concera all through. Yet every- Lody Enows that a good, intelligent Assembly is of raramoant importance to ths intercsts of the Btate, and should be recruited by the best, tru- e, and Lrigbtest men we can flod. Unfortn- rately this 16 not the rule, and it is to be feared tha the election of vext fall will not add to the worth of the Cook County delegation, THE DISTRICTS. The Chicago and Cuok County Legislative Districts, tader the new law, are seven in cum- ber, orgaized as followa: rst Districi—First, Sccond, Tentb, and [ln:\’cr:th Wards, oud District—Third, Fourth, and Fifth Wer:da, and the Towns of Lake acd Ilyde Pari. dbird Distriet—Eixth, Seventh, and Eighth Wards. roumih Distnict—Ninth, Twelfth, and Thir- tecnth Wads.

TUE FIST. . Joseph S. Revnolds is the present Senatorial incuwtent of tue First District, baviug boen cleczed on the lepublican ticket in 1872 He is abuat to try bis fortune ounce more. Mr. Rey- nolds did nuf do vers badly at Springfield, but e common verdict upou lis sbilities 18, tha: be will nover wet the Thames on fire,—no, nor any of our Illinois streams. He s, however, o pleas- t, gevial man, and has a great many personal friends, which counts for Something in little polities. teymolds has acted with the Republic- 5 Larty for waay years. Anotiier aspirant for the ssme position is Mr. L. L. Boud, whoran for Mayor agaiust Colvin. slr. Dondis & quiet man, but has & good deal of bueness ubihry, und, as a Senator, would not ta discreditable to hus district. His cbauces for 8 nomiuation are noi very good with the Republican party, owing to the ter- Tibla overthrow he received last fall. Yet be is ihe best man, in wany respecis, they exld gelect, baving served two terms in the Lower Housé aud done well in the City Couucil. Judge Bradwell, who is at present & member ©f the Lower Jiouse, would like to bo a Senator, Lut his hopes are ratker ciouded. The Judge is tot destined tobe a great law-giver, although &= very worthy man in other respects. Arbaf Dizon has also an eyo to the yosiiion,—his chief faculties being exercised far Congress. As he cannot exist without Isving o hand in making the laws, and as Cou- ress looks too far away, be will doubtless tecore tue party nomination.

Derickson, who is & Re- publican, and who wishes to be a Senator. Tom Hulpine and **Ed" Cullerton, both of whom belong to tho present Assembly, are try- ing to get back again. Jeremnah J. Crowley is also bound to run. ‘‘Jerry’ is big onough to go to the State Capital, but there are too many of his lighter-heeled fellow- countrymen 1uuning against bim, and ke will Eave a bard time of it. ~ The Insh can furnish more candidates for office, in a shorter space of time, than any other peonle upon tha earth. The battle iv the Trurd will be hot and strong whle it lasta. THE FOURTH. In the Fourth District the handsome and able Seuator, S. K. Dow, holds over. Of the ** Peoplos party,” J, C.

Some of 1us fricuds have been joking with him abous going to Congreas. THE FIFTIL o The Senator of the Fifilh District, James J. McGiath, baving received the valuable appoint- meat of City Tax Commissioner, does not think 1t worth while to go_baek to bis seat, althoush be ccwad get there if he wansed to, despite the fact that he receives payin Lis pressut oflico. But this trifle has had very littlo effect on the clection of other candidates who wers sinu- Jarly situnted. John Buebler, a well known German. and long au Aldermen, 18 an_aspirane for MeGrath's va- cant char. 50also is Major Charies E. Moore, formerly of Mulhgan's regiment, who is very strongly backed by many intluentfal Irishmen sod Aniericaue, Republican candidates have no gbow for euccess 1a Lhis district. Joln Oleson, Davia Haluon and Johu Herting are the only wen much talked of for the Lower House. THE SISTIL Horace F. Waite holds over as Senator in the Sixth District. The number of seesers aftor legislativo office iu the Sixth is, perbaps, greater tban o any other section of the vity. The Ro- publicans, according to minority representation, must Lave one man—all they are lizely to nomis cate. The *‘Peoyle,” however, are trotting out quite & number of champions, foremost of whom 18 placed Wiliiamn C. McClure, well kuown in North Side poliucs. Ho is desirous uf serv- ing the State in Svringfield, sud is about as well qualified for the ofico 28 & majouty of those who usually go there.

B e MISCELLANEOUS. WEST SIDE REITBLICANS, A mecting of the West Side Republican Club was held last eveniog at No. 211 Weat Madison street, Ald. Mouoroe Heath in the chair. Thero was a large attendance, and encouraging re- ports were preseuted of the propects in the va- rious wards. It was decided to hold meetings for orgapization in the duferent wards mext Thursday night. M. Quirk, Coroner Jobn Stephons, and Clark Lipo were appeinted a ¢ommittee to nominato o YVice-Yresideut of the Club, to take the place of Mart:n Deern, resigued, aud report at the next ecting. A Finance Commitice was appuinte. consisting J. M. Getman, Alvin Salisbury, sud Alonzo Smder. Ar. U. It Hawley mado & few remaiks, al- Iuding to the Republican victories in Muine, and the atiewpt to renew the rebeliion in Loutsiava. Col. Wuterman, of the Twelfcth Ward, was called uvon for a speech, and eaid that tho eves of tho past few aays Lad organized tho Repuvlican paity more efeccually thun anything eise could bave done. Until within the past month he bad not cared muci about the Repuo- lean party, but when Le had found toat the Oppositiou leaders wero in_sympathy with tne 1evel White Lengue in New Urleans, ho had como to the conclusion tibat there was much for the Republican party to do. It was clear to him tlat tho Kellogg Gov- ecrnment could pot sustain itself, aud tbe stropg arm of the National Government must be put forth to assist it. Whoever voted agaiust the Republican ticket voted for the re- newal of the outrages in New Orleans. The colored people must bo protected there, and the Kepublican party must maiutain its ravks un- broken, and aclieve a victory at the coming elec- tion. These entiments wero moderately ap- plauded. Mr. J. F. Scanlon moved, in order to revive an interest in the Republican party, and to give the club sowething 10 do, that the different mem- Liers from the various Wwards pring in reports of the votes at the clection of 1872, apd reportsuch other matters as may be of interest. The mo- tion revailed. The club adjourned until Saturday evening next. THE SIXTH WARD, A meeting of the Sixth Ward Independent Club was beld last evening at No. 97 Archer avenue. Tho regniar oflicers of the club pre- eided, and several_gentiemen preseit addrossed the meeting. Mr. Georme lolz, a rather talkatrvo politician, spoke first and last ; ia fact, be spoke wheaever be had any chances of being heard. 3r. Radcliffe. oue of tlie Sccietaries of the club, vclunteered an explanation of the purposes for which the club Lad been formed. He said the soutbern portion of tne ward bad been neglected s to imyrovements, and wished to seo a mau trom that portion of the waid elect- ed Alderman. Loud calls were then made for Alr. Scott, who proceeded to give i reasons why evers man in the ward should join tha club. He sat dowo amidst the loudest apolause, during which Mr. Holz managed to get in anotaer speech. Ar. Stephens waa_then called on for Lis senti- ments. He claimed that he was a downright Democrat, and as be did not wish to be bound down to support auy ono man, he refused to fign tho roll of the club until Le knew what course it was gomg to take. Ar. Tierney was then called to the stand, and made a tellng specch in favor of the club. Ho requested the President to sign his name to the hst of mem- bers. Mr. Holz again managed to get in anotier speech ; this time in German,snd, notwithstand- ing a bad cold from wiich he claimed to be suf- i, be made s lengthy sreceb, and did more ling than any ouo else present. The club then adjourned, to meet at thecorner of Halsted and Tharcy-fitst streets Thursday evening. SWEDISIL INDEPESDEST CLTUB. A large political meetiog was heid under the asuspices of tho Swedish Indeperdent Republi- can Club ina roowsy school-house on Busanell streot last Friday night, P. A. Sundelius in the chair. The puipose was to call tho attention of the Sumth Side Sweaes, who are very numerous, to the political questions, local, State, and National, now under agitation, and to atouse the pespleto & more active participation in politics. ‘The meetiny was firs: adlressed by ex-Consul C. J. Suudell, who reviewed tho Republican atty, which, secoraing to the Consul's opimion, 2d, although baving been a very great and use- ful organizaticn, of late committed many blun- ders. President Grant received a very severo criticism. This gave tho next speaker, Mr. J. A. Enander, editor of the Liesnlande!, occazion to “go for " tho Democrasic party o8 80 much the worse. The speaker dwelt at length upon and _topics the Southern question con- pected with the present diffcultics 1n Touisiana, Arkansas, aud other States. He Inid also great stress on the neceesity for the Swedes of Chicago to act in units as a political tactor 1n the community. This speech was applauded iu 8 lively manner. Other gentlemen wero then called upon to make remarks, The Chairman derended the Re- publican party against the attack of Mr. Sundell, and thought that be bad been too indiscriminate in his review of its history. . 5 Mr. C. F. Peterson, of ike Nya Verlden, in- dorsed heartily, on the other side, whst Sundell had said, which, he eaid, was 8 part of the coun- try's history, aud couid not o refuted. Tae meetng was adiourned £t 11. The managers of the club contemplats, and havo already commenced making Dreparstions for, n grand maes-meoting on tho North Side within & fortnight. ANNOUNCEMENTR.

No response has been yet roceived from the Bishop-clece of Illinois to the telegram acquaint- ing lum of the action of the Episcopul Conven- tiou. The formal ennouncement of tha election is being prepared Ly the Committeo appointed for that purpose, sud it will probably be for- warded to Dr. Seymour in the carly part of this week. From the comments of the New York papers on Lus elaction, thie following extracts aro made.

Though the sporting events of the week have not been very numerons, especially for this pleas- 2ot season of the year, a few of them have been bighly important, sud have reccived that degreo of general attention which they desorved. BASE BALL. Bafe ball matters have beon pretty Lvely, and, for a wonder, we can look back at what has been doue without being compelled to turn away nshamed at tho figure out by our own club. The tiwo finest displays of the season were made by the White Stockings at Hartford and Baston, Saturday aod Mondav, but thore is overy reason to fear that tho exhibitions of skill were altogether spasmodic.
