Carried. The Town Clerk moved that tho roport be re- forred to tho five Justices. Unless this were done, the noxt Suvarvisor wonld find no mounoy to the credit of South Chicugo. < The motion was seconded by the Suporvisor, and earried. Tho T'own Clerk cailed upon the Board o ap~ point & permanent Chinirman_to countorsign all town orders. It was & fact that the Board had 1o authorized Chinirman, unless they clected one. Justico Daggett moved that tho Supervisor of Soutl Chivago Lo appointed such Chairman, Ihe Town Clerk objocted on the ground that the Suvervisor puid the orders, io thought that thiero wns a vital necessity for suck & Chair- man, As things woro now, bankors and enpital- ists did not think 1t safo to yay monoy on the town ordora in their presont shape.

Mr. Gruenhut is not pro- paved to deny thot orders whouo faco valuo ia §12,500 Liave been paid, but he does not believe that the persons who held them got that amount of moncy for thom from - Supervisor Schank. Ho slill ‘ineists’ that tho Supervisor bought up theso floating orders at lesy than thoir faco, snd then puid Limself their full value out of tho town funds. Ho snys also, with groat indigna- tion, that Mr. Schank hns proed upon his collengues, & thing which was never loforo heard of in the aanals of South Chicago; that Mr, Corrigan took to Schank au order for $1,650 and got it eashed for 1,200, and one for $600 and got 2500 on it, and that Cor- rigan was nlso bled £500, which g ho paid to Behank for servicen dono ns Assistant Axgessor, when Schanlk nover did any uesistant smessing. " My, Gruenhut also says that, whilo $2,000 were paid to the bank, $5,000 ought to have boon paid, ind that the failure to pay this ditforence has attorly ruinod tho credit of the once prond Town of South Chicago,vo that itwill bo impossibla for Schanl'n successor in ofiico to got nuy monsy whatover to puy tho Atscssor or nnybody olso. o ulso says that Mr. Schank omits to include 1n his statement the 51,000 Yuld to himself, and that lio fails to oxplaia why the office-ront 18 wo- nid, uud why the man who sold thom the sato rms not %:]L his money, the failuro to pay theso Iatter debrs being disgraceful in tho oxtrome | Mr. Gruenbut has an order for 288 which he Delieves ho could got about $200 for from Mr. chauls, but ho is not proparcd Lo settle on thuso terme, aud if ho does not get its til face value througsh tho ugenoy of the five Justices of South Chicago, ho intends to shnke the dust off of his feat an testimony againat them aud go boforo the Orand Jury,—tho lnst refuge of tho op- pregsed wnd dil-treate —_— OENTRALIZING THE BSUPREME COUR LT, The following letter fram Mr, Justice Mo Alliggor of the Bupreme Court hag boon received Dy J.
