Occasionally ono seos o Bpot congist- Ing of a fow acroa of arsblo land, but, or~ divarily, only & vocky, desolate eurfece greots the oye.” Tho conolusion which one bas to draw from Mr. Birol's lettor is, that Sweden is o desolate country, with & rocky surface, not being able to support ita inhabltants, sud lhaving no induce- monts whatever to keep them at homo. Wo aro, however, abla to xofute Mr. B.'s apinion by tao official statomonts of tho Statistical Bureau of Stockholm, Thng show that Bwodon, for two doconniums, has been & grain-exporting country, with the excoption of a conple of yenrs when tho orops failed v Norrland. 2 Mr, Birch, d"'i"‘ixn fall senaon, had made an oxeursion throngh tho extonsive plains of tbo provinces of Wartro- gothin, Ortrogothis, or Scanis, ho would have found large fields covercd with rich crops,—gso rich, indeed, that he might bave changad the op!nlo“n that Swedan baa enly ‘' fow arablo acros. In his “Land of Thor,” Mr. J. Ross Browno snys that the country sround Matats, Ortrogo- thin, is undulsting and picturesque, and hias an abuudanco of rich farms. Of tho couutry from the Laka of Viken to the Lako of Venora, Wor- trogothin, he romarka that it is o rieh and beauti- ful_ formjug-land, and undulating; that farms and moadows extond all tho way to the shoros of Vonarn; and that the Gollin Canal preses through farming districts which, ns to cultiva~ tion, moy bo fully compared with what ho haa soen in moro gouthorn parts of Europe. *The farm-distriots in Swedon have an Amorlcan ap~ Bummco. and tho farm-houses call in remems~ rance the farms of New England.” S As totho causce of tho omigration from Swe- Qon, thoy have, in later vears, totally vanished, Tho fault with that couniry has boen “that it did not understand hosw to uso ita rosources.

Mr. Egan—I do not know any reaon why Gen, Lioh docs not sign it, I bave mob soen him sinco Lo rofused todo 80, Iam nob awaro thal tha absonco of his signaturo affocts thoe validity of tho contract, Tha County Attornoy was in- stracted by s rodotutfon of tho full Uosrd to mako out the oontract, o mnde oup the con- tract and bond with the name of tho bondsmen fMled in, The hond was for $260,000 and it took ma n wook ta geb it. I depositod the bond last Monday § on the Tucsday following tho Ohinir- mau of tha County Board callod upon me to sign tha contract, and I did so, Reporter—Hava you na idea of the naturs of Gon. Lieb's objections ? Mr, Egan—I hava heard that one of bis objoc- tions 18 that I havo not boon appoluted Superius tendont—that thora is no wording in the resolus tlons giving mo that position. Reposter—What do you think sbout it ? Nr, Egan—1I hold that tho resolutions of Lha 15th of Juno, by which I am calied upon to fle this largo bond, directly dofiued my dutics ar Buporinteudont, As well as I con racolloct, tho words arg * ¢hat I aball take chargo of tho con- struction to complation,” and again, I hold vhaé 1t would ba a fidiculous thing to nak for 8o lnigo n bond wunless the Buporintendenco wero impliod. Tho _simplo drawing out of tho vplans implies no respousibility, 1% somotimon bappena in smail buidings thst thes architeot s called upon morely to provide the drawings, iu which case his rosponsibility ceasca with tholr accoptanca by tho person ordoring theta, but tho connty nover has dono businesa in this way. In addiiton to thls, tho percontaps a1 upon of 3 per coub would be an unusaal price for drawings alone, while it la tho usual prico for plana and mporintondence, Tho con~ tract nalls for my attondance evory day, and ns mavy times oftenor as tho Duilding Committed shall direct, The resolutions referring o my ecloction apd contract aro datod June 15, July 20, end Nov. 16, In nono of thoso tao word “‘guperintondont” is used, but, as I bofore showed, the dutles of Suporlutendont aro strictly mptied. Here is suother point of objection which I noticed in an ovenivg paper yastordey, to tho offect that my contract would undoubtzdly, on its baing banded to me, entitle mo to $156,000, The tact'of tho matter is, hat T am entitted to thab pum whon tho building Commttee and the full County Roatd approvo of Ty plans and apecifications which I am to make, and when the coplos and plana thoreo! avo de- Kos“m‘l with tho Board, It will take until next [y to accomplish this smonnt of Jabor. I ox- pect to have Lo mako for this building over 200 plons with my own hands besides what my ageistants will do. In consideration of this, Xdo not think that the pay is excessivo, TRoportor—What do you think Gen, Licb's object i in rofusing to bign? Br, Egan—I cannot imegine, Everything in the mattor has boon conducted openly; there has boen nothing fustive in the arrangemantst. I am incliped to think ihat tho deneral wild withdraw his oppasilion whou ha has looked 1wto the morits of the ecaso, I would like ta draw your attontion to tho artiole in this morning’s TornuNe on the subjoct. It snys that the resoe lution of tho 16th November, confirming tho provious election, made it conditional tiint there should bo s previous arigngoment With the Board of Publio Works for the city portion of the buifding. ‘Cbint is nat the fact atall; on tho contrary, the resolutions distinetly provided that, in caso tho county cannot agreo with tho Doard of Public Works, then tho county should buitd indopondontly, ouly obliging me to produco such a design a8 comld extonded for city pirposes at any futuro time, so a8 to make un harmoniouswhole. Another poink wop mado that tho fact of my conteach buing signod with the county would compel tha city ta accept my eorvices. That cortainly cannot boj beeauao if tho eity build Indopendantly of the county, they have no moro to do with mo than it thoy wera buflding at Jofforson. I hava to keeg on ons side of the disiding lino of tho building, and the City Architect on tho othor; and if tht city appointed an architect befora I got fairly ta work on myside, the mutual interesis of the twa architects wonld be g0 cloarly tho harmonizing tho design that by deolining o to do they would siultify thomsolves, snd piva theix yospoctivo Bourds a good ploa for discharing them both—n right the connty has aiways held and stifl holds ovor mo in the presout contract in casa 1 shoutd neglect to do tho bidding of the Building Committos of tho Board. I may sny that I havo been trying of Jato to got my con. tract finished with the present Board in order o mave tho trouble which might occur turough the apimslfion of oven a now mombor, Reporter~That is business. Mr, Egan—That is what it {s, QEN. LIED, Tho roporter nlso called on the County Clerk, with whom ha had tha following talkc: Teporter—Gencral, what wora yoar ‘reasons for rofusing to sign the contract with J. J, Egan for tho orection of tho now Conrt-1louss ? Gon, Lish—Thoy are thoza: Firat, I will not attach my sigoaturo to a contrach whioh was nat {u epirit or lotter according to tho rosolutions passed by tho Darrd. Socond, thoso rosolutiona 8 I viewed thom wero that a conforence or un- dorstanding should bo bad with the city suthori- ties, s Committeo from tho Common Couneil, or the Board of Public Works, in regurd to tho so- loction of & plan. 'Third, this contract leaves it entiroly in tho hands of Mr. Egea and tho Com~ mitteo on Public Works whother they shalf go on mduyundontly of tho city, adopt n plan or tho county hialt of the bulldiug, nud procood ~forthwith with {te orection under the Bupervision of Mr. Egan, Fourtly, tho contract la giving Mr, Egan_$15,000 ‘upow the accoptance of tha plan by the Commit« too, not & word of which was meutioned in vosolution, s Toportor—By what authority, Gonsral, do you withhold your Bignature us Clerk of tho County ot Gon, Licb—I do not know of any statnto which weuld give ma the tight to withhold my signaturo, nor do I know swhethor iy signature is ahsolutely necesnary for tho completion of the contract phuk I do Lnow, that as o publio rorvant it In my diity {6 provent, if within my power, tha consummatiofl of » mistake in which mfltions o’ monoy aro involved, for tho tax-pnyers of Cools Conniy. Neporter—Do you thint, Genoral, that thero is any fruud copnected with this transaction ? Gen, Liob—I huvo not tho sbiadow of suspl- clon, I danot kuow. Imay sny moro,—1 kiow somo of tha Commissionors who' voted for the regolution, who conld not, for any sum, be inda- enced in thair ofiiclal aatfon, and I think thid, upon maturs dol{boration, this precipitate action will ba roconsidored by the Board if poasible. Raporter—Do you kuow any of the Cominis~ stonors who vatad for tho rosolution who could bo infinonced by money? Gen, Liob—1 do not. SPECIAL NOTIOES.
