He supposes that, with Governmental bauk- ruptoy, tho United States, a8 = power, would be reducod to its military, its militacy to its Ohlef, and his exchequer to his daily plunder; yet thateven thie might be preferred to prevalent violence, and thus tho total eub- yoraion of civil liberty be sctuaily warrauted by necessity, He declares that each living negro has cost in property 3,000, or five times os much os the averago total wealth of a white man, besides half a million of livox, and that to carry hin and the bondholder longer is toa big ecobtract.

This carcleasness, good nature, or lack of information, hasbeen imposed upon iu the caso of tho man Snmmorifield, who is working day aud night to influence the Judges to zend his nnme to Springfield. Summerfield’s record, and standing, and examplo, aro certain to be tho subject of thorough sud searching inquiry to-day, and the moro thorough and searching the inquiry, tha moro certainly it will bo loarned that hits naino will not be found in the list, Hia character will be annlyzed by mon who cannot be hoodwinked, and who, know- ing the facts, would regard his notoction as Jus- tico of the Poaco in the light of a public calam- ity. Lhera is tho best ot renson to beliova that the sppointmonts will bojearefally, thoughtfully, and judiciously iado, and that the new Justices will,as a whole, bo u yaat improvement upon the present lot. ° 2” R.

Bir. Porrina donica indignantly all tho allegations made sgainst him, and claims that ho did not collect all tho feos allowed him by law. Daforo going any further into this subject, it may bo proper to romark that tho namo of Mr. Porro daca not occur on tire official list of Constablos furnished by tho County Clerk Iast month, and it Is thorefore in order for him to oxplain whother he is entitled to act as a Conatablo at all, and whether any collection of fees on Ins past gore not subject him to trial and punish- ment. Mr, Perrine makes out a bill by which he shows that ho was entitlod in this particular caso to 84,50.

Stull ho makes another charge of 50 cents for the round trip, But, sotting aside Mr. Porrine's extraordinary assortion that hoverved s summons upon a doad mau, and is ontitled to collect miloxga therefor, the bill which he presents is an imposi- tion on tho fsco of it, and can be excused only by tho fact that he admits that ho bas been acting for only four monthe. Ho dovelops iv tho course of his letter s number of orthographical eccentricities, such as spolling trifle with two fs; and it is not uolikety that he construos tho foo bill in the sama geverous spir- it, and isin the habit of doubling charges Tost precisoly as he doubles lotters in his spelling.

To the Editor of The Chicuan Tribune: Cutcado, Jan, 23.—Weduesday Inst, before Justice Koelle, of tho North Side, was tried o caso in which Constable Bayaos was plalutitf and William If, Bheppard, n livory-stable koapor, was defendant. On the 26th of Decombor Inst Mr. Bhuppard sued out a writ of *'capias ad rospond- endum" before Justice Kaufmann, for the atrcat of George Mitchell, then visiting his friends in thie city, but a resident of Cleveland, 0.; who has [for some time past beon indebted to Sheppard in the eum of 6195. Mr, Baynes was tho Constable chosen to execute the writ, and succeeded in fo doing by briuging Mitchell to Justice Kaufmann's office late in the evening, but could not find that worthy functionary thoro, Ife then took him to the Shoriff's office, and requested that high offi- cial to lock Mitchell up all night, This the Shoriff refused to do, on the grouud that it was not acaplas ad satisfaclondum, Mitchell soated himsolf in the office of tho Jailer, knowing that ho was not locked up or restrained of bis liverty, and the hawk-eyad Constable ecampored homo to his wito, Meantime Mitchell asked thoshentt if ho bad to remain there all uight, and, receiving an answor im the negative, took log bail ond went to his hotol, aud from thence to Cleveland by tho first train in the morning, leaving Mr, Sheppard minus his $195, through the negligence of this rascally Consta- ble who loaves himself liable to Mr, Shoppard for tha amount of Lis olnim againet Mitchell, Ho brought suit against Sheppard for the exorbitant sum of $10, backed up by the teatimony of two other Constables, who valued hiy services at that gum, when tho atatute regulating fecs only al- Jows him 50 conte. Tho Justice, in dofiauce of the law regulating the feos of such officers, ren- dered o judgmout for the sum of €10, from which Mr. Shoppard takes an appeal to the Cir- entt Court.

PRESENTATIONS, Unptenasaunt § Predicament of Mesars: Morbert aud OBricns Acano pregentation camo off soma months ago which, from prosent appoarnncos, bids fair to bring cortain participants in the affair into the Criminal Court, ond if if does not tho investl- gation will certainly uot ptaco them in an envia- Lie position bofore the public. ‘Tho immediate parties intorosted aro.a jewelry firm, an express- inan, a grocoryman, a clerk, a policeman, o 62- loon-keoper, and a Giand Juror. Tho story, as toldtoa Tainuxs roporter, will boar ropeating. and to give the particulars in.the affair itis necossary to go back to tho fire of July Inst. During the conflagration an oxpressman, whoso namo is uuknown, purloined from the jewelry store of Wondeli & Wyman two gold-headed walking-canea, and in making off with them he was met by Oflicor Richard O'Connell, of tho city police-forco, who, suspecting that tho articles woro stolen, relieved the oxproasman of thom—but failed to tako him into custody or procure his name—and carried them to tho Conttal Station, Thero ho rotained thom for some length of timo, and failing, as ho states, to find an ownor, conceived the idoa of get- ting up The A OANE PRESENTATION for somo of his friends, ‘Tho “ boys” woro noti- fled to be on Laud at John Ryan's saloon on Stato streot on « cortain ovoning to witness theccromony, Jon Iferbert, the owner of a moat-markot on State stroot, aud Pat O'Brien, who keops a saloon on the asmo street, and who is now sorviug on the Grand Jury, wero selected as the happy recipiente of tho sticks. Thoy were invited to be prosent on tho occasion, and, as usual in affairs of that nature, wero supposed to be in total oblivion as to what was to Lappeu, At the hour gelected for the presentation, tho gentlemen were assombicd, aud, after partaking of stindry “nips” all around, 'Mesers. Herbert and O'Brion were completely taken by surpriso— atleast itis tho proper thing to say so—by one of the party, who ind been solocted on account of his woll-kuown ability in speoch-maxing on such occasions, who stopped forward, and, in hia best stylo and graco, bestowed the ebony sticks inthe name of the donor to the fortnnate, or unfortunate, choson ones. ‘I'he usual responses wore mae, toasts proposed and drank in many a bumper, aud the event was a merry one. Ata late hour in tho night the party conelud- od, from the condition of many there prosont, that it was about timo to breakup. A final toast was proposed and washed down with a bot- tle or two of John's best Mosello,—at the oxpenso of the caned gontiomon,—and tho donor, recipi- enty, and gueets separated, ‘fho cyent waa ono long to be romembored by tho participants, —such oventa generally are. This one will certainly bo remembered by two of the gentlemen, if not moro, ina manner that they will not rolish, On tho night of tho presenta. tion thero wau prasent as o guosta man named JouUN OUI. Mr. Hough was a clerk in the moat-market of Horbert, who had tho honor of recorving one of tho canes. For reasons best known to Hough, ho started to find out where tho sticks came from, and discovored they were stolen from Wondell & Ioyman. ‘fhis information ho retained, and was careful not to divulge his Knowledga to any ono, nt lonst not at that timo ; neither did this sagacious clerk of the mont- market forgot hia discovery, but, as tho sequel will suow, reserved bis information till ho could turn it to advantage, Homo fow days ago Herbort surmised that Tough was EMNEZZLING SMALL AMOUNTS from him from time to timo on the sales of steaks, roasts, aud niby, and eupe- clally was be holding back certain suma recoived from tho salo of oysters, a spocialty of tho houns. Snspecting bis clerk, ho informed iim of his suspicions, This accusation enraged Mr. Hough, and he at once called ou Mr. Wendoll, ths right- ful owner of tho canes, and “GAVE AWAY" 118 EMPLOYER, 8 well an Olicer O'Connell aud Pat O'Brien. Mr. Wendell catied on Justice Haines Thursday and sworo out s search-warrant against Herbert, as wot! as warrants for tho arrest of both Horbert oud O'Connell, on the charge of rocciving stolen property knowing it to bavo beon atolon, Armod with these documonts, Constable Crean proceedod to the house of Herbert, and thero found tho ebony stick with tho gold head. O'Connoll and Herbert wore next honored with a visit from tbo Conttable, who gently broke the news to them, aud inyited tho donor and recipient to accompany him to Justice Ifaines’ office. Yesterday tho parties wero INTERVIEWED DY THE JUBTICE, who informed thom that he was campelled to forego an examination of the charges till Thurs- day, and haa to require them to giva bail for their appearance before him on thatday, Bail was furnished. Constablo Crean thon sot about to get posses- sion of THE REMAINING STICK. With that intention ho waited on Mr. Pat O'Brien, the Graud Juror, and politely informed him of his orrand. Mr. O’Brien expressed his astonigbmont,—and this timo thors is no doubt but what luo surprise was greater and mora genuine than on tho occasion whon the presonta- tion was made,—and informed tho Constable that ho had nevor carried the oano, and by going to his residence ho could obtain it, Conntable Croan called thero, and tho article in question ‘was surrendered. OFFICER O'CONNELL haz been reported to the Board, and he will bo called upon to explain why hadid not turn the proporty over to tho cuatodisn of stolon goods, instead of getting up a grand blow-out, such a8 was witnesacd at John. Ryan's saloon on the night of the presontation ceremony. loroafter porsoue who are often taken by sur- priao on being the astonished recipionts of gifts. such as gold-hoaded canes, watches, pins, gold stars with a diamond in the contro, horses ond buggies, otc., would do well to inquire of the donors whore, when, aud how they caine in pos- aowvion of tho gift they are called upon to receive. By so doing, thoy will in alt probability evoid the unplogeant notoriety that now attends tho donor and recipients of Wondoll & Hyimun'a canes, It fs but just to Officer O'Connell to add, that tho parties connected with the alfair are of tho opinion that he did not thunk thet he was doing prong in disposing of the property in the mau- ner that he did, and that the ouly blamo they at- tach to him waa that he did not turn over tho aticks to the cnstadian at the station, During the investigation by tho Hoard, some inforina- tlon may be gained in thoaffair by the preveuco of Olllcer Muboney, of the city police force, — Civil and Kelizgionus Marriages in Hurope, Tho Palt Matt Gazelle sayy: ' Some intorest- ing dotails rogarding tho practical worwiny of civil marriage laws i Catholic continental coun- tries came out during the discussion on the sub- joct in the Swiss National Council, the result of Which was telographed on Friday. ‘Tho chief speaker agaiuat the propoual for making the clvil contract a necosaary preliminary waa SI, Wock- Treyaold, a Catholic member from Friburg ; and hho ubowod that tho wimilar law of Italy waa very largely evaded on purpovo by thove who dosire to be wedded without incurring certain legal obligations, ‘Thus oficors ond non-commis- sioned ofilcera of tho Italian? army, being !for- bidden marriage oxcept with cortain guaranteed moans, ayail themsolves of the pricai’s sorvices tocontract a union which is valid iu tholr own eyos, though it dooa not bring them under a penalty.
