Of tkls sum, only 171,875 have been received on subscriptions to the capital stock ; £0 that, except the present ontstand- ing ndebtedness of abaut $30,000, and $1,49L60 received from rent, the entiro amount has been paid from the Tt carnings of two exhibitions, 2nd within less thun eighteen months from the date of the first contract for 1he conxtrastion of the building. In ordinary times, and under ordinary conditions, {his showing would not, perhaps, be justly rogarded a5 a remarkable success in Chicago; but, Laving been ac- complished within threo years from the date of our great desolation by fire, and during tho existenco of finaucial depression and business demoralization, almost, if not quite, unparalleled in the history of thiy country, it can hardly be regarded as less {han satis- factory, Of the causes which have contributed most largely to this gratifying result, I desiro to mention very brindy the following : #irst—The well-nigh universsl recognition among inznufacturers and other producers of the fact that in- Austrial exhibitions of the higher class afford the very best mediom svailable, in connection with the press, for brinping their product, and methods, and processes to tho knowiedge of the people for whose patronage they Ishor. S:cond—The locstion—and by this is not meant Lake Park, on which the butlding stands, nd which: is in all eespects tha best poseible 1 Jace for it,—but the City of Chirago, with its controlling central position zs it etands relatad to the great industries of this country, and to the active, energetic, and fhtelligent population of tl:e Western States, by whom thoso industries are prosecuted. st Third—The estreme thorougliness and liberality which bave characterized your arrangements for ex- bititors in almost every Cepartment.

The poltcy you have adopted on the question of oficriag prizes, ~ At the Internutional Exposition of 1867, the Commissionere, representing all tue leading Dati>us of Earope and Amgrica, becamo €0 déeply fm- pressed with the sbsurdity of the whole system of competitive exhibitions, and tho gross injustice. s0 often * resnlting from ita prac- tical application in the awards of juries, fbat they unanimously recommended its entice sbamdenment in the mauagement of future exhilition of the industrics of all nations, and I learn that of latea strong eflort hus been mude $o conform the olicy of the Centennial in 1876 to this recommenda- tion, Tour own organization was the first of any magnitude to make thie new departure, and to bring the principle to o practical test. Instead of compell- ing your exnibitors to submit thewr contributicus to the lottery of a jury trial, you have wiscly preferred to ~3pend & portion, st leist, of the large amount re- quired to carry tirough such a system, in aiding those exhibitors by cheupening the co:t of exliibition, and by increasing the fucilitics for preseiting their contris butions tu the public in a favorable manner, Ifence, ar the cloeo of the list Exposition we found, for the first time fn the history of en- terprises of _this churacter, the great mass af exhibitors after baving been here an duty for thirty Alays, petitioning for a two weeks' oxtension of time, To any one famidliar with the closing scenes of a fair whero yrizes have been awsrded, whether he bo an exhibitor, an officer of tho orgamzation, or » mere spectator, no better or stronger cvidenco of the wis dom of your policy on this sabject could be offered, Fifth—The adoption of 4 liléral excursion scheme by the raflway companies whose lines centre in this ty.

You have alreadr con- sirucied and neatly finished paying for an exhibition that nearly every material in-* ‘bullding with all appointments admirably adapted ta {he purpoee, ituated on the spot of yOur own srles- tion, in tho very heart of the city, withont protes: or objection from any quartor, and, in fact, with the unanimou and hearty approval of the city’ suthori- ties and of the citizens.

Taese public exhibitions are the great popular schools whera lessous of the hign- est practical importruce may be best studied by those whoseactive brain iv constautly on the alert for new fuventions adapted to promote the geuernl welfare of mankind. Speaking of the first Industrial Exhibition ever held in Frauce, and, at that time (17953), the largest ever ueld in the world, the French Minister, having in bis mind the rivalry of thr ancient encmy, Great Britain, remarked: *The Esposition was not large, but it 14 2 first campaigu, and this campaign s Qlsas trous to English industry, Ouar manufictories are the arsenals from which must come arms the most deadly to Epgland.” While no similar spint charac- terizes the management of such enterpriscs fo these laltar daye, yet the substan- tial fact Temains, that if Chicagosnd tho Nortlwest desire to mintain themselves in the front rank of progress and fmprovement they must f0sier, encour— Age. aud protect theso great educational sgencies aa 2moug tho most cfficient, the most profiable, and the ‘most pleasant, means it is possible to devise THE TREASTRER'S EEPORT.

Studovater, Franklin MacVeagh. /TNSUBSCRIBED £TOCK. Ar. Bouton gaid that thero was some dissatis- faction relative to the balance of uusnbsciibed stock. For wany reasons the Board did not wish to proceed legally against the defaulting parties, ‘because many who subseribed in good faith were presented from carrying out their designs by tho recent paaic. Mr, John B. Drake moved that the balance of unsubscribed stock be divided Pro rata among the stockholders, provided thatail the stock- holders would concur therein. v Ar. Georgo W.

F. STOREY. He Is Indicted for Libeling N, K. Fairbank. The Action of the Grand Ji ury Takes Him by Surprise. Mr. Fairbank’s Explanation of His Motives. The Indictment. Yesterday afternoon the legal frequenters of the Criminal Court wore surprised to learn that an indictment had been found against Wilbur F. Storey, editor of tho Chicazo Times, for an **un- Iawful, willful, and malicious libel " against Mr, N. K. Fairbank, of the firm of Fairbank, Peck & Co. \E. STORET. The fact of the finding of the indictment azninst r. Storey was first communicated to the Iatter by a TRISUNE reporter, who called to soe him as to the course he should take in the mat- ter. Mr. Storey, on being informed that tho Grand Jury had found a truo bill -against hi seemed rather cmbarrassed, and sat for s few minutes in silen¢e, with his head bent down, and & deep flush on his faco. Ho was somewhas astonished that a stranger should give bim the information, but when ho beard wheece lus ir- formant came, he scemed to recognize the in- variable necessity of learning the news from ‘Fug TrovsE, and significd & desire to hear tho particulars of the indictment. As the reporter was bent upon obtaining information, not giving it, the conversation was rather briof. Mr. Storey—You say I am indicted. for ? Reporter—TFor Jibel, On complaint of the State's Attotney, a trite bill for libel Laé been found against you for libeling Messrs. N. K. Tairbavk and H. A. Johnson in the articles pub- lished in tho Times sgainst tho characters of thosa goutlemen. - i Mr. S.—Then the bill was found against the Times—not ngainst mo ? R.—T think it is agaizst youn personally. Mr. S.—Well, I don't know anything about it. R.—What sbzll you do about 1t ? Mr. S.—Defond myself ; what olze can I do? R.—Yos, of conise, but how?

MR, TAIMBANK, Mr. Storey having nothing moro to eay, the ro- orter witidrew and cal'ed upon Mr. Fairbank. "'he lattur cxplaived Dis pare in 1ho mautor as follows He had arrived at the conclusion that somo- thing must ba dona to protect bimself from the persistent, venomous, and uojustifinple attacks made upon him_by Mr. Storey. He bad two courses open to hiin to obtain rodress. He could commence a civil snit, claiming a sum of money frow Ar. Storey for damago to his reputaticn, or ko cocll appear bafore the Grand Jury and obtain an indictment for libel under the luwa of tho Stats; the samo as for 2ay other criminal act on Alr. Storav’s part. The law defies livel very clearlr, and tho vunish- ment thasefor, so that auy person wao_ha been maliciously. uefsmed cnn make complaint before the Grand Juxv, and obsnin the ind.cinent of the offeadiug writer o uiblusior. Tz LA upon this point is as folluwa: A libel is 2 malicions defamati by pristing or by sigus, or pi:tu; ing to blacken the momory of impeach the Lonesty, integrity, virtue, or refmtation, or putlish the natural defects of one who is ulive, and thereby to expose him to public hutred, ccntermpt, or ridicale, or financial fojucy, Evers person, whether writer or publisher, couvicted of libel, shall ba tinud not exceeding 3500, or confined in the Connty Snil not exceeding one vear. Inall prose-utions for litel, the trath, when published with good motives and for jus- tifiablz ends; shall be a sutlicient defense. Acting npon the foregotng, Mr. Fairbank Fri- Ga¥ mado his compiaint beforo thie Grand Jurs. I preferred to proceed in fliis manuer rather tiiau by commencing o civil suit for damages, in- asmuch a8 L did not desiro money damages por to appear a4 if actuated by mercenary motives. But the attacks of the ZTimes were 5o bitter and persovering that he resolved to see whother Lhere was any means under the laws of tho State for sitencing them. Tho epecific articlo_upon which tlie widictmen*, ¥as found_was published inthe Times of July 14, and is given in the 1n- aictment. THE LAST STRAY. Mr. Fairbank moved to action at this time by o paragraph iu the Zimes of Nov. 12, as fol- Tows: If tné Chicago Relief and Atd Socloty lias ot for- feited the pablic confidence, wo do_not know what it could do to forfeit 1t, 1: hus just lield its annual e'ec- tioa for ofices, and has retsined on its Executive Committce 1wo men . whoare notoriously guilty of Baving spproptinted relicf funds to their own use, Wealiude, of course, to Mr. N.

It an in- splt to every honest man in the communlty, It is ac- tion that sEould provoke not _only public reprobation; but withdrawal of public confidence from the Society. He acted entirely upon his own judgment,and did not consult a lawyer; nor mention his inten- tion to Dr. Johnsou. " Tho first 1atimation of the matter to the latter was a summons to appear before tho Grand Jury as a witness. Afterhoar- ing the testimony of Mr. Fairbinkand Dr. John- #on, the Grand Jury had uo hesitation in finding an indictment against Mr. Storey. Mr. Fairbank has engaged 8§ bis coousel the Hon. Lyma: ‘Lrumbull, Leonard . Swett, Esq., and Siduey Smith, Esg., and ho intends to push the matter to the utmost. Ha expects a furcher attack from the Times, but he is prepared to meet the samo way, and propoics to show Mr. Storoy that he cannot elander and vilify men of bonor and reputation with impubity.

As the circumstances which led to the slan- ders of the Zimes occuried over two years ago, . THE HISTORY OF THE WIOLE AFFAIR s will be of interest at tie present time, and witl serve to show the character of tho charges mado aguinst Mr. Fairbank aud Dr. Jobnson. The Helief sud Aid Society was in existenco & long time before the great firo, and_ was designated by the Mayor as a proper and well-orpanized meaos of distributing the relief funds seut to the city after tho fire. Tho great majority of ite members were men of sufticicat moans to enatlo them to grve their time sud ecrvices to the work of distrivution of the relief funds free of charge. The Execativé Ccmmittee selected Dr. H: A. Johuson, a physician of high repntétion both professionally and eocially, to be the head of the Hedical Department. Dr. Jotinson had & lirge and lucrative practico, but was pot wealthy n, exprossed eftlier of the He2, tend- wlio i dead, or to nor of strong phyeique. In the arduous dutiea 1mposed tgon Nim- by the Re- liof and Al Society; mE tmo was #holls omplayed, fo the complete meglect of { Lis own practice. Beside this great pecuuiary _tlv, the contracs ought £ bs cons: sdcerifico, which was mado wholly without ex- pectation of recompense in any form. Dr. Johnson, at the end of nine months, found his lhealth, never very robust, in a fair way to fail bim altogether. His friends wero alarmed at Ius condition, and endeavored to raise a sum of money to enable him to go abroad fur his healta. After n conmdernbla enm. had been subscribed, 3. Fairbsok went to Mr. W. 1. Coolbangh, of the Union National Bank, to obtain subecrip- tions from the baunkers. Bir. Coolbaugh was the Treasuiror of & fund sent héro' from thio National Bauks of New York to relieve the necessities of bani-clerks who bad suffered by the fire. Wien the applicants of this class bud ali been relieved, there was still a cousiderable fund remaining in {he Ticasurer's bands. It was impoesible to re- turn this_ remainder to the subscribers pro rata, henco it was held subject to tha order of the Nutional Dank Presidents of this ity for such charitable purposes as they migat consider worthy. At Mr. Coolbaugh’s suggos- tion, an oudor wds drawn upon himself, as ‘Iressurer of tho fand, which order was signed by tlic Presideut of every bank in tho city ex- copt two, whoso Presudents, essrs. Rutcer aund Blnir, were ot of town. Tho amount of $2,500 s thus subcribed to' nssist Dr. Johoson to go sbroad for his héal'h. It was rogarded as only & slight means of ropaying Lim for tho time ho had devoted to the service of the city. The health Idst and the nnxietics occisioned by the responsibiiitios forced upon him were more than monoy could pay for. L3 ‘The points to bo noticed hore particularly are that the money ro_subscribed was o part of a apecial fund, not in any way undor the control of Mr. Fairbank nor of the Relief and Ald So- i It was the remnant of an Eastern sub- scription . which had been proverly and th-., oughly distributed, but which it had not been possiblo to wholly use up in the exact.way originally intended. The bankers took tle responsibility of giving the money to Dr. Johnson, and Mr. Fairbank in no wiso inter< fered with the gift nntil 1t was drawn from tho Treasurer and placed in his Lands for pressnta- tion to Dr. Johnson, On presenting it to tbo latter it was given him 28 & subscription from tho National Banks of Chicago, sud he accopted it as such, without any knowledgs of its provious Listory. ' Ho went abroad and, in a greal meastire, recovered his lost health. The public is familiar with Br. Storey's onslanglic upon Dr. Johnson, tho bitte: ness of which extended even to the latter's friends. XKnowicg that Mr. Fairbank warm personal friend of Dr. Jobnson, rey has not scrapled to distort the truth as far as possible, and, when necessary, to invent things. Mo bas ko frequently charged Dr. Johnson and ir. Faicbnk with ‘having doliber- atoly siolen reliof funds that many worthy people might bo led to believe it. T'he facts in the easc, however, may bo briefly summod up as follows : Neither Dr. Johogon nor Mr. Fairtank over used & penny of the Relief and Aid Socie wmoney ; the baokers of the city made a gift of $2,500 to Dr. Johnson out of the remains of a specinl fund, the intended recipients of which biad all becn relievad lone before; Mr. Fuir- baok, personally, bad nothing to do with this fund ; Dr. Johnson was intormed that the Chi- cago banks had made the gift to him, and, on the first information that snch was not the case, he returnod it to Mr. Coolbaugh, the Fund Treacuror. The public will thus readily see that Mr: Sto- roy's solo animns hag been tho gratification of an unreasoung and bitter bate of Dr. Johnsun friendly. He would therefore mako the rule, but mive until next Saturday to stow why it should not be made abyolute, or foran opporta- nity to adjust matters botween ' tho opposing jo- terosts. Messis. Bennett, Krewinger & Veeder, swho appeared for tha Receiver, stated that they Wore dedrons to ave the quesiion amicably ad- justed. - Thoy.bad boped that tha Receiver and Asmgues could go and taks stock tozether, and that the Receiver couid account to the Assignce, 60 a8 tobring_Ebe latter uuder tho_control of thio - Siate - Coart,” as well a3 that of the United States District Court. ~ The caeo was therefore contimed a week, but it 18 prouablo that some amicable arrangameunt will be msdein the mesntimo. Iudecd, eteps toward it bave slrasdy been taken,-but the dulli- cnlty is aboat tho Receiver, ho insisting that, on his ‘muking & final repors, ‘he ehall ‘ba dis- charged,aud his sureties relensed, and tho bank- raptey creditors refusing to giva an absolute ra- leaso until Iy accounts sre examined. A BOARDING-HOUSE KEEPER'S TROUBLES. Stephen Zoellor keaps a. boarding-house, and Plilip Loebsteia is lis guest. ‘Ihis fact may 110t Lie aatonishing, but tho two -circumstsnces taken towother, and some incidents of their rolations, have been {ranght with 8o serious _consequences. that a lawyer, & clerk, Judge, Deputy Shetiff, and re- porter. huve ail been wvolved in some way there- with. We do not iutend ta fuply that Philip was Zoeller's only boarder, because, judging from theamount he received from that boarder, he must Lave lived on air, promise crammed ; but be was Zoeller's guest par oxcellence,—the ona around Whom his alTections settled, the subject of his inmost tlicughts. Nothing is known as to Phil- ip's appetite. but there need be no_hesitancy in saying it was good,—tlie appétite of men of his class usually is fair to ~middling. Bat the mode adorted by Pbilip in paying his board-bill is what has caused the troudle. Ho ecorned to ray in paltry gresn- backs, but woula pay ju gold. . To ba sure ha did uot bave it at the time, but it was coming due him from a little legacy of $500 just left him in_Germany. thoagh Zveller is inclined to think it . must have been a castle in Spain. To make _macers suro, the wily Thilip aud connding Zoeller, wont to the German Consuls ofice, and tho former tiere formally instructed the official to collect tha legacy, aad pay it over to Zoeller. Thia sufticed for héarly a year, but the stupid boarding-houss keeper now claims that Pmilip bas privately sent instructions to GGermany to remit to him direct. and not through the Con- wul, snd he fears Le will, after all, bo cheated out of 3135, the amount now due. As Losb- stein baa no real estate, or other tangible prop- erty (nor any cupital stocl or franchise that can be taxed), Zocller fears thas, less 2 mne exeat id iseudd’ ‘to duce the fuscinating Philip to prolong his 6tay hord, ha will tranafer his operations to some more congenial climate, 2nd leavo him behind. How the tmoaey is to be collected, oven then, is not sown, but Zoellér was mide happy by the Teceipt of an order for the roquired writ of ne excat on his filiug a bond for &370, 5 DIVORCES. Agmes J.

Jequenbourg, to pro- vent-him laying any more water-pipcs in the town under a contract mada with him last spring. An ihdepéndeiit ¥lew wad tiken of the matter vesterdny by Edwvard Martin, of Duchess Conaty, Now York, who, from his standpoint. considers tho wholo contract void, aod that Tlequenbourg is ouly entitled to as much as tho services and piped were reasomably worth, and Mdrtin exolains his apparently uhreasonabie interference in tha mabter by etativg thaf he oiis aiont $0.000 of feal esiaté in the littlo sabury referred to, snd by virtuo of his non- residence takes his caso into Uncle Sam's par- ticalar courts, where ho possibly thinks he can bLiave mdre completo justice. Tho first teason why, according to Mr. Mar- ered a3 voi 3 been mado Feb. G, 1574, it with a formor Board of i% becauss, it havi was enterdd iots Trustees, and that, under the law of 1973, its powers were Hmited. Ib was the duty of the Board as alleged in the other bill to advertiso for bide, and accept the lowest. The bill then sets out the various fail- ures on the part of Hequenbourg to fulfill the alleged contract, aod claims the amount to be id was limited, if the contract b3 valia, to 15 miles. Yraud is charged in the inception of the contract, in ordor to favor Hausadourz. Itis also charged that the contract was signed at the Grand Pacific Hotel, in Chicago, instead of the Town-Hall of Lake, where town business sbould bave been done, and even then not uutil the old Board had retired from office. Mar- tin also clsims that eome fraud was used to induce the present Baard o accept the pipe. II6 also alleges that the contract ia void 28 to~faxravers and landowners, and that the bonds already isstied to the dmonnt of 2239, 631.83 are frandnlent and void, either in_the hands of Hequenbourg or of third parties. Mar- tin has asked the town to bring suit for the Piiiposs of having the cofitract declared_void, but_it has refused, and be therefore takés the burden on Ins own_shonlders; and asks tue Court to Have an sccount tuken, claiming that. the contract being Toscinded, it will bo found that Iequerbonrg i already overpaid, aud also to grant an injunction restraining Hequenbourg from lasing any more pipes ; to prevent the town from 1ssuing anv ‘more 'bonds or payiug thoso already is<ued, and for s decréo for any balance that may be fonnd to bo dné_from Haquenbonrg to the town: The fdtion for injunction will be taken up by Jadgs Blodgett Tuesday morning.
