The testimony of tho compiainant in the case of Maler vs. Farwell Having all been token, the motion to smend the bill, which had been made at the commencement of the trial and postpon- ed, was again taken up yesterday moraing before Judge Wiliams. AB. VAN ARMAN, ono of the counsel for Jr. Maber, made the mo- tion, remarking that unusual difiicultics were en- countered in deciding what amendments to propose, 28 the testimony had turned ont somewhat different from what was expected, but from the complainant’s view of the caso he thought it was sufficient to entitlo the complain- snt to some kind of relief. The defendant had admitced that a portion of the consideration was o bet on an election, and the effect of the admis- sion was to vender tho transfer void—it' was »gamst bo th public policy and express statute. Tho bill, bowever, had been drawn on the state- ment of Mr. Maber,—it could not have been otherwise,—ond the parties to the st having contradicted each ather, his desiro was to secure any remedy which the Court, from the facts, might zive bim. He wished,if possivle, soto shape the bili by amendment that he mught secure auy relief that could be given. It ghould be the desire of the Court to discourage, condemn, and suppressthe evil of gambiing, aud that‘would be best dono by rendering the business entirely un- profitable by setting aside all transactions based on gambling considerations. ‘There was no real distinction between winning money by gambling and getting it by theft. ‘The malign skill ac- quired by gamtling way 2s disgraceful as that nired by stealing. There was hittle doubt but that the balunce of the consideration, bo- eides the $500 note, even taking Far- well's account, was s pambliug delt, and that what he took the land for, sad what he did with the land. wes 19 divide it up among the perzons who won Mr. aher's money. Tho notes were in the hands of one of the most notorious pamblers in the city, aud there was no reason to doubt but that Xr. Farwell knew it to Lavo beeu a gambling debt. Wiat he neked. in_substance, was 1o etrike out the statement of Jr. Maher, and sub- stitute that of Mr. Farwell, in the bill. Another difficalty was that a crcee-bill had been filed, and tho original bill could mot therefcre bo dismissed and ouother Buit comwenced, snd the prosent mode was the ouly oue therefore, that could be adopted to obtain relief. In behialf of the law and public policy, it wes necessary to suppress the peruicious evil of poubliug.

Maber, the other making larger alterations. Gen. Smith said he did not wish at the present staze to oppose tle amendment, but wished to Ppreserve an exception to the introduction of any such proposed amendments. He, however, did not wish to be understocd a6 consenting in' sny way. Jir. Caulfield then said that tho case was not changed as to the meterial fact,—his client had only sworn to one kind of gambling, the defendant to another. 1f his - statement was accepted, taey would bo driven out of court, as thero was no _corroborative testimony. ‘They therefore wished to acceps the statement made by Farwell lumself. Toey had drawn the bill on Maher's statement and theory, —they had no righ: to accept any other, previous to the trial of the case. After heariug Mr. Far- well's statement, however, they determined to evail themselves of it, aud he biad himself proven the gist of the case,—gambling, and the gist of the bill was therefore proven, no matter what theory was taken. Mr. Caulfiold then resd the amendment pro- posed, striking out in the origiual bill all that relates to the consideration of the land baving been & gambliug note, and inserting an_allega- tion that part of tha considerstion was the note for $500 on the election, and that the remaiuder waa made up of certain notes given one Andor- 8on, & gembler and perier of Trussell, which Dotes were known by Farwell to have been given for gambling debts. Mn. HONTZR objected_strenuoualy to the proposed amend- ment. He eaid that the privilege of allowing smendments was vested in the Court, to be used in itg discretion, and that this was not e proper case for the exercise of that power. It would bo a strango idea to allow a bill to bs amended for Bake of pablic morals. MT. ENICRERNOCKER also urged substantially the same points, and Dlustrated the Joint by asking, if ii wero o di- vorco case, whether a party wouid be allowed to change the allegations of the bill as to the cause for which a divorce was asked, or could ono piece of land be substituted for auother. Yet eithor would be as rensonable a subject for amendment as the present one. thion relteratod thio. Srevmmr citerated the arzuments proviously and urged some additional unes,p specially ;f:gfé that o the prasent cause, tho gambling having been s violation of the penal statute, the con: ‘¥eyanco was void, not voidable.

The aonouncement in yesterday’s TRIDUNE that the National Board companies were about to resume business again in this city, was quito a pleasant surpriss to almost everybody, even to the larger part of the insurance agents. Thore were hardly more than half a dozen insurance men in this city who know what was goingon at Boston and New York, and they kept the matter 88 secretly as possiblo. An insursnce man who was present at the Boston meeting stated to a reporter yesterday that tho people of Chicago owed o debt of gratitude to Mr. Rogers, President of the Firemen's Insuranco Company of Boston, to whonf more than any other the fevorable turn of affairs is due. Mr. Rogers is said to be o venera- ble”old man of over 70 vears of sge, and has always borne a high roputation for honesty and integrity. Insa most earnest speech hodo- nounced tho action of the New Yorkers, and claimed that when Boston was in distress they did all they could to ruin her and her ccmpanics. He declared that their action towards Chicago was impelled by the same motives. and for this reason Boston could not lend them a helping band, but would stand by Chicago to the last. Mr. Rogers' speech created a profound seosation and was applauded to the echo. Tho New Yorkers stood crestfallen ; they know at once thoy were beston, and thore- sore tuey moved to adjourn for one week to n}eir. sgain at New York, which motion was car- rie At the New York meeting they saw at once that all the companics from other places than New York were ready to resume business here, and therefore they were only t00 glad when thoy succeeded m having 8 committee appointed to visit this city to give them o good chance to get out of the dilemms. There is mot the least donbt but that the Comnustee will makea favor- able report, and nearly all tho_companies will be back iu a week or twa. Considerable excitement prevailed in the iusurance ofices on LaSallo streot all day yesterdsy, owing to the fact that several leading agencies had announced their in- tention to change _gents. Log-rolling and wire- Ppulling were going on all around ; almost every carrying off one of tlie prizes. A ‘meeting of the Board of Underwriters will be held Tuesday, sod the changed aspect of affairs will be discussed. Measures will be taken 10 establish o tariff which will be satisfactory to the returning companies. On improved property in good localities the rates will be made very low, but on property which lacks the requiremonts of the Loard, high rates will bo chargs For every improvement mado on the property or ia tho etreat a. discount will by al- lowed. It ia believed that by making such dis- criminations the improvements which bave been carricd on during tho last few mootbs wil ba continned, as it will be in the option of tbe citi~ zens and the Aldermen to have clicap rates or not. Several of the compauvies which hereto- fore did not belong to the Board, and such as left after the with- drawal of the National-Board companies, will joio again at the next meetng. Among these 8ro the Roval Cauadian, British America, and Wostern of ‘Coronto, all of Canada, snd also the Traders', of this city. Itis hoped that the Com-~ mon_Council will, at its meeting to-morrow evening, promptly ‘confirm the new Fire Com- missioner of the Board, Mr. Jobn B. Drako, whose nomination hay given such umvereal sat- isfaction, both to the National Board com- panies, and to the better class of citizous. His prompt contirmation will be oil upon the trou- bled waters, and will, in & great measure ease the tasic of Gen. Shaler, who is expected to ar- rive here this weok. ol WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT. The following is the poem read by Mr. F. F. Browne at the Bryant Dinner last Tuesday even- ing: OUR PRIVILEGE. L Not in vain forms of empty spoech, © poet, sage, companion, friend, But from our hearts, the groetings be To-njght to theo we send. And not with thoughts to honor thee These tributes to thy worth we bring: Ourseives we honor, while we make Our siwple ottering. 1 0 poet whom our grandsires loved, And by our sires Tevered nad praised, Not less do we—last of the three Of geuerations thou bast graced.

Probably there can be found no class of human beings poseessing such varied and extreme char- scteristics as the genuine newsboy. Pluck and impudence, heroism and treachery, thrift and shiftlessness, love and hate, deceit and frank- ness, envy and generosity, malice and kindnoss, are g0 strangely mixed avd intersoven in their make-up o5 to always make them a fit subject of interesting study aud analysis. Whether tZis need be or not—whether this strange snomaly of a human being must be found a8 one of the constituent parts of all large cities—is not the quertion I intend to discuss in tius article, but to notice some of tho TRICKS AND WAYS of this peculicr, but little understood, clasa. Bat ope thing is certain: No real progress can be mnade in seeking to aid and benefit these boys unless they aro thoroughly studied, and the couses which make them what they are thor- oughly underatood. One of the most trying aud perplexing experi- ences wo meet with in dealing with them is the variety of ways in which their inexhanstible stock of impudence manifests itself. It 18 one of their most effective woapons, as well for offense as defenso. AT THE TABLE they sometimes display an amount of unblush- ing impudence absolutely immense. Imagiuethe boys sitting at tbe supper-table. We have s beef stew, and each bov is served with & plata full. a large slice of bread, potatoes, and & bowl of tea. Lutyou ece a boy with no plato before him,—notlung but the bowlof tea. He looks up with a most innocent expression upou his face, ond calis out : * Plense pive me some stew, Mrs, Billings.” Knowing that thers was a plato before bim, su examination reveals tho fact that the boy has stowed uway his plate in bis lap, and maybo the one next him also, if it 5o happens that the place for the moment ia vacan:. The “ situation " is made more interesting when it becomes appsrent that the boy conld by no means eat more than what he hud stowed away on his lap. ‘We had a notablo instance cne evening this week whera tho quality of impudence had growa into rank sssuravce. I found our miiting-room occupied one eveving by a company of youug men of rather doubiful antecedents, and by no means well calculated to improve the chaiacter or morais of my turbulent family. Two of them were precticiug the * manly urt of sclf-defense” with the *gloves,” while the rest of the new-comers and wy family of boys made the sudience. When Iput in &n appear- auce, oue of the boys hastened to_gay that thoy were ** just baving a little fun.” But my idea of “ the eternal fitnoss of things™ compelled me Lo stop tio ** fun,” much to the chagrin of the “company,” who claimed to have been invited thero by the boys in the “Home;” ona of the company remarking, while expostulating against the sudden termination of the exhibi- tion, that I must bo aware thero wera but for places vhere thev could have so good a chanes 10" practice.” Bat though this aspirant for pu- gilistic bouors seemed to think his argument a strong one. it failed to convince ma that the *“Newsbeys’ Home " was the placo to cuitivate » tasto aug admiration for tho * prize ring. ne of the most discouraging things we ha to contend with s tho. o g O BATE HATRED OF OTHER BOYS not of themselves. The first appearance among ti:em of a * greony " from the country, or & boy doing ordinary storo-work, is suro to causea series of peniccutions against the uow comer, of aJmost vexations and anuoying kind. 8o, too, with & boy taken from amoog them and placed in better condition; they try every means 10 get bim back among them, by taunt, ridicule, and indignity of one kind or another, snd it re- quires more conrage and roal independence for the boy to keep onin his new course success~ fully. ~ We bave an instance of this lstter kind at presens in the person of a brave, manly Jittle fellow of 11 yearsof age, who has fought his own way for threo yeam, bui_remained proof against nearly all of the bad E‘mfim of his class. Ho is now “cash boy” in one of our large dry zoods stores, and wo shall be sorely disappointed if ho does not make a splondid rec- ord for bimself. This, and other individual cases, will be made tho subject of a futare articlo.
