Negotiations for the Purchase of Thousand-Mile Tickets, Freight Rates to the West, FREE PASSES, TUE LART DEVICE OF A BCALPINO YIMH, About bo years ago, the various railroads loading to and from thia city entered into a cum: poct agrecing tu ixsio no more froe paRKen except to manayors and employos of tho various lines. 'The mansgors of those roada had beon compciled to take this meusure because the ayetem had be- como one of atmple plunder. They fonnd thot much of their Ume was consamed in considering thono applications in all the variod forme in which the sharpert solf-interest can present thom, Almost anybody can find somo exoune forunsing for a frea pass, and mort of them an fortify their demands in n way that makes it qtite imporsiblo for a managor to dixcriminato Justly and fully between gevuind casoy aud iin postors. Doubtless this syatem originated as s method of oxchanging equivalents, and there aro many who reccive a free pass who give mora than ite valuo in return; but they ara the exceptions, and not the rule, The agreement abolishing the froe-paes syatem was avery sweeping one, no passes being alluwod to be ismued to auy one ex- copt to oflicers of roady and employes whilo traveling on business, Had tho agreement beon Jews aweeping in its terina, and proper divcrimi- natious been made between such porsous as are entitled toa pars and such as are ifot, the ays tem would now be dead, Ag it was, it was con~ Htantly violated Ly one road or the other, and there was constant quarreling about these viola- tions between the various lines, andl, finally, soveral roada withdraw from tho compact. The first road to go back on it was the Illinois Contral. Thi road has always been known a4 one of tho most liberal and charitable iu the country, When the yellow foyer raged in Mowphis aud Shrovesport, its managers iexucd froo pagnes to all porcons who winhed to leave those placas, and to all who wished to go there aad net as nurses, Other roads which were not as chutitably inolined cloimed that this action was Virtually a violation of the agreement. Tho managers of the Ininois Central, bowever, thought they liad acted right, aud so did the publi When, therefore, about two months ugo, another agreement wea drawn up as BWweep- ing, if not more eo, than the first ono, tho man- agers of the Illinois Central refused to sign it, claiming that they woukt sign no more ayrec- ments that oy would afterwards be compelled to violate, and, a3 soy- eral other ronda refused to enter the compact unieas tho Tllinoia Central became & party, tho effurt to 1onew the agreement failed entirely. Lut the refuenl of the Mlinois Central to join the compact is not the main cause of the failuro of tins reforay, Te wanthat no dikcciminations wero made in tho ayrecment, this offering a premium for the violation of it by nelflul roads, In the firrt place, nono were to bave free purses except oflicers sud employes of ronda, Atter a while it wae found that the roads were losing money iu not peering men in charge of stock, avd hence this rule was modificd. They the country editors rofueed to publish the time- tables of the soads unless they were passed free, and this rule was aleo modi- fied, and It waa decided to givo them 1,000-milo tickets inetead of passes. Tho two modifications had uudonbtedly more to do with tho failure of the agrcomeut than anything also. Itsoon became upparent that almost any one could bo passed ag a stockman without violating tho agreemont openly, | Numborless lawyers, doctors, Congressmen, legislators, and other prominent peoplo, with argo diamond pins in thoir shirt-bosoms aud gold spectacles on their noses, could Le seon travoliug a8 bog or cattle drivers—at loast thoir passes thus read; thoy themselves sitting in comfortable eents in firet- elaeacars. Then tho country editors who re~ colved 1.000-milo tickets were flooded with cir- culars from ecalpers avking them ta sell the tikets which were given them for their own private use.

Ho thon turned his attention to the building up of tue First German Church, with the hope of avawing from it what tho misionary fleld bad failed ta supply for his stipport, Te roon gath- ered around hit a small cougregation, to which ho devoted, it scems, too much attvotion to please his friends of the missionary work, who had snmmoued bim to Americavize tho youthtul ‘Yeutons, to the oxclusion of oyerything clase. ‘This state of affairs grew from bad co worse, unl, at the end of the good brother's first year of labor, the Sunday-school and church wero soparated by A TERUIDLE CHASS. At this juncture, Mr. Wisner was invited to “shake Lands” by the fathers of the echool, but refused, Ho in roturao asked tho schoo) to como and drink at bis fountain. teacbers and all, but without accomplishing ‘anything. Ilo wanted to Gormanizo them, and they wanted to American- dzo him! This is the rock upon which they split, and this is what has divided tho First. German Presbyterian Church against itself, Mr. Wisner wos soon given & polite hint, by way of an attempt to starve him, to “stop down and ont," but, for some roagon, 110 did not take it. He did tako, however, a donation from tho Board of Home ‘Missions for bis support, and was ao trell pleased that ho is anxious to do the same thing again. BOSH SIDES HEARD. At the meeting yesterday there appeared Mr. Wiener and ono of bis church Deacons on tho ono wide, Ana the Buperintendent and several teachers of the Bunday-echool on tho other, Tho representatives of the Sunday-school inter- ost told the Committes that Mr. Wisner was a good, clever follow, but that ho did notknow how to runs Sunday-schoo), and that they had told him to quit tho tleld several times, and, ns a per- sunsive ineagure, had reduced bis salary for the tocond year about €800, They furthor ‘told the Committee that thoir object was and had beon to get rid of Brother Wisner, with view to fur- nishing the school and chureh with {ustruction which would tend to Amoricanize them. Mr, Wiaver and his Deacon, in the church in- terest, sat up o wtrong defonuo, stating that, of the forty members of the church, not ope was acquainted with the Boglish language, and that in the Sunday-schoo!l thochildren proferred to kee educated in the mother-tongue, Following these two statements, the rcalous interouta -clasued eoveroly. Pastor, Superin- tendont, Deacon, and teachers found occasion to call one snother ugly names, and to make many uupleasant intimations, il was poured continuously upon the troubled watare by the gaveral members of the Board, but tono avail. The animosity of tho coutend- ing slotnoute wos beyond suppression, each battling sellighly for rights they imagiuud the general Church was about to wrest from them,— theone wanting tho Sunday-echool prasided over by Americans, and the great Bible ¢ruths ox- nuded by most any otber tongue than Mr, waer's,—the other side wanting Mr, Wiener’s ministry in tho German lauguage or nothing. ‘Thus the war was continued for some time, when the Hoard adjourned to end the wrangle, ‘The wholo question will bo submitted to the noxt meeting of tho Presbytery, whose duty it will bo to dotormine whether the German or En- tinh language ia most affective in persuading acd winning souls, and whether Mr. Wisnor shall leave the church, or tho church the Dros- bytery. 1¢ will require calm deliberation to set- tle tho vexed questions st issue, aud, in tho meantime, 6 great deal of forbearance and Christian fortitude—if nota high fence—to keep the church and Sunday-school from a contlict of 108, as MINISTERIAL MEETINGS, ‘WY METHODISTS.

White introduced an order directing the police authorities to enforce the ordinance role- tive to cleaning anow trom sidewalks. Referred to the Committee on Police, ‘The resignstion of James Goggin as a member ‘of the Board of Education wan rocetyed snd ace cepted, and the nomination by the Mayor of W. J, English to fill the vacancy was referred to the Comittee on Schools, THE LEOISLATION NECES#ADY. Ald. Cullerton introduced a rerolution calling for o epocial comnilites of five to confor with tho Mayor, Comptraller, and Law Department aa to the legislation necessary for the City of Chicago. Iio supported the motion by eaying that tho Common Council, and not the Citizene’ Associn~ tion, was best qualifled to judge of the Icglula- tion necensary at this time. Ald, Campbell opposed the motion, saying that Chicago had had too much iegislation wlready. An attatapt to reincorporste the city under the genoral law had been frustrated by tho tricks of ubrewd politicians, andin place of the reincors poration it was pow sought to cumber the Cuar- ter with amendments, Ald, Hildreth thought it ovsential that the rea- olotlon sbould pass. In proof of the aswertion that additional logislation waw necossary, he cited the caxe of July Wilbelm, whose house wag torn down to check a fire, aud, though every Alderaan 1m the Couucil thoucht he ought to ba tee for bis property, they could not vote to pay im, because thore was no clause in the Charior whereby sich payment could bo made. Unlcsn auch 8 law'were passed, people would defend their property with their lives, aud resist any at- fount to tear dawn their houses. ‘Ald. Schaffner favored the pasage of the res- olution, believing tat such a committee could with profit vonsult with the Citizens’ Association and lawvare with refercuce Lo needed legislution. Ald, Waterman said it was a lomentable fact that the iaw was ancl that the city could noteul- loct ita taxes, unlexs people felt disposed to pay them: aud unlews something were done the city would be iveolyent intwo years, Tho tmatter ought to be taken into consderation by a com- mittes of the Counoail, to suggest to the Legisla- turo the legislation neoded. Ald, Schaffuer moved to amend by instante the Special Committee to repart to the Council the legislation neceurary. ‘The amendineut was adopted, and the ro-olution was passed. The Chait appointed aa such Committees Ald. Cutler- tots, Catapbell, Scuaffnor, Waterman, aud Rich- arddon, Qn matin, the I’resident was added ta the Committee. ‘TNE THACKS ON CLANK STREET. Ald.
