REPORT OF THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. Upon the organization of the new Board of Connty Commissioners, they fixed and agreed ‘upon a new schedule of salaries for county employes. At the last regular meeting of the Board, Commissioner Clough, doubting the legality of such a schedule, offered a reaolation requesting an investigation of the matter. This reaolution was referred to the Judiciary Com- mittee. Yesterday, that Committee was in gession in the Committee-room at the County Building, and considered the resolution of Com- missioner Clough, agreeing upon the following report: Tt is evident, to use the language of the Attorney L General in his opinion to the ‘State's Attorney of Menard Counts, of date Dec. 6, 1873, that the inten- tion of the framers of the Constitution was tbat the gompensation oF slay of county officers should be ‘and ascertained before the commencement of {heir official term, to the end that the County Board thotld be compelied to act {mpartialiy in fixing gach Compensation, without being influenced by any favor SP affection for, or ill-will against, any pariicnlar in Giunbent, and that the candidate might know what his galary isto be when he sccepts the offico; and, from the Jangaage of the Constitution, the compensation of no fig iib acre or Gnied devin ie ea office, ‘The Constitution defines an office to be a “public caition created by the Gonstitution or Taw, continued g the pleasure of the appointing power, or for a Sari ie Twith a successor elected ar appointed.” The statute authorizes the Sheriff and clerks of Courts to appoint deputies, and it is but a reasonable inference they are officers, for their acts are as valid and binding as that of the principal officers themselves, The revised statutes of 1874, entitled “Counties,” ‘See, 38, provides, “the time af fixing the compensation of county officers whose compensation is to be fixed by the County’ Board shall be at the meeting of such Board next before the regular election of tho Officers whose compensation is to be fixed.” Taking the language af the Constitution, and of the statute in conjunction, it seems evident to your Committees that 4f the reason assigned by the Attorney General, quoted above, is correct, the September session of the Board ‘was the proper session at which to fix the componsa— tion of the county officers, whose salaries it was the duty of the Board to fix, and if thisreason holds good with reference to the county officers, it certainlyis as sound with reference to the county employes, although, ‘Sith regard totue latter, it might not have as much Sere ee hi might operite upon. tho juences, good or ill, that might operate upon the Board with ‘reference to the ofticera, in view of the ‘nnuniber of employes of the county, might be as strong ‘when the Bosrd came to fix the compensation of the employes, ‘Your Committee upon examination find thst the Bosrd at its meeting Dec. 30, 1874, did not un- Gertake to change the compensation of any officer fixed by the Board at their September session. It did make some changes with reference to the employes, but inas- much as the employes elected Dec. 30, 1874, en- tered upon the discharge of the ‘duties of posi ly, Jan. 1, 1875, it. is a legal conclusion t they accepted the action of the Board of Dec. 30, 1874, fixing their compensation. Your Committee, therefore, are of the opinion that the officers and em- ployes of the county are entitled to the compensation awarded them by the Board at ita meeting of date Dec. $0, 1874, " ‘After disposing of this matter, the Committee considered @ ciaim of O. Niahor for $6.85, for arresting a prisoner and bringing him to the County Jail. ‘The pefition of Jona Bobrback, asking to be appointed Constable for North Chicago, in place of Nicholas Dries, deceased, wes also taken up. The statute + did not recoguize claims of the nature of Niebot’s, and, consequently, it was ordered placed on file, and as tho Board are not empowered to make appointments of Con- stables to fil vacancies fora longer time than one year, Rohrbach’s petition met with a similar fate. The unexpired term of Drics was two years. ee THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE. WO CONCLUSION YET REACHED. The Produce Exchange is again at sea in re- gard to its removal. The project for a change to Market strect, which had promised to be the solution of the question, has fallen through, owing to the action of agpeculator, who made s0 big a grab that he has overreached himself. The produce-dealers met at the Exchange yesterday morning to bear the report of the Committee ap- pointed to receive proposals from landlords in regard to providing new quarters for the mem- ders of the Exchange. ‘Mr. 8. B. Chase, of the Committee, reported that the movement to Market streot was practi- cally dead, andthe Exchange muet look for some other location. Mr. H. G.{Powers bad intended to secure the Freer property, on Market street, and would have put upeight stores. Mr. E. G. Mason, the Trustee of the Starkweather estate near by, would have put upeight other stores. ‘The Freer property had been offered $1,000 for the first year, $1,200 for tho second, and $1,500 for the third. A Mr. Stannard, s flour and feed dealer, having no connection with the Exchange, had bid the property up to $3,000 per anuum, and taxes amounting to over $1,000 per annum. He doubtless thought that he was going to make something out of the Ex- change, but they were going to let him enjoy his ‘bargain by himself. Owing to his action, ten- auts on the Starkweather estate bad became de- moralized, ghd wanted to make money out of their leases, so that Mr. Mason was obliged to relinquish his plan also. ‘The Market street movement was, therefore, a failure. ‘he Com- mittee had received a very good proposition from Quincy street, and soma good stores an West Lake street had been offered. Mr. Chase con- cluded by expressing hie sense of thegentloman- ly treatment the Committee bad received at the banda of Mesers. Powell and Mason. ‘Mr. T. B, Ware then offered the following: Resolved, Tat the thanks of this Exchange sre due and are hereby tendered to Mr. HL. G. Powers and Mr. E.G. Mason for the prompt, gentlemanly, and busi- esplike way in waich they have met the efforts of the Exchange to secure quarters on Markét street, ‘and that it is not owing to any lack of effor’ on their part that the move to Market street ia 2 failure, The resolution was adopted unanimously. ‘Mr. S. B. Chase then offered the following, which was also unanimously adopted : Reaoleed, That, as the proposed move to Market street is a failure, the Chair appoint a committoe Of two to take action to secure suitable quarters in some other location, ‘The Chair, which was cccupied by Mr. N. Ww. Hewes, Second Vice President of the Exchange, appointed Mezsrs. 8. B, Chase and 0. +. Black- man ag the Committee. ‘The meeting then adjourned, subject to call. A-conference was then held by the Committee previously appointed to provide for the recep- Fon of the National Batter and Egg Assocla- tion which is to hold’ its annual Convention here on the S$dand 4th of March. It was arraoged. that a speech of welcome should be delivered to the Association by Mr. C. F. Dexter, President of the Exchange, or if ho could not roturn to the city in time, Mr. George E. Gooch, Chair- man of the Gommittee of Reception. S ee TEMPERANCE, Fe ADDRESS TO EMPLOYERS. ‘ ‘The Chicago Temperance Alliance ‘has issued an address to the merchants, manufacturers, and employers of labor, in Chicago, of which the following is » part: ‘We are satiafied, from general report and personal examination, that a large amount of suffering exists smong the laboring classes of our city from the want Of nec-ssary food and clothing. We are also satistied, from investigation, that one of the prime causes of ack of the noceasarios of life, as well ax of re munerative labor which would ‘purchase ther, ia the waste of money in saloons, groceries, and places of public resort where mtoxicating liquors are sold. About $10,000,000 are snnuslly wastod in this wayin Chicago, ‘Of which it is estimated one-half is spent on Sat~ uréay nights and Sundays ; 2nd thus, by the improvi- dent and recklces habits of many workmen, the pro- ceeds of labor which should go to support their fami Bes during the following week is often wholly spent at these iimes in rioting end erunkenness. It Je hardly neceseary to add that the Isbor of an employe who commences his work Mondsy morning fresh from healthful rest, is worth more than that of the man who comes jaded with debaucheries and the criminsl in- Gulgences of Sabbath-breaking, in ways far more tire- some than a whole week of labor. ‘The zemedy which Wa venture to suggest, and commend to your carnest Rtention, is only partial in its operation; yet, if Universally obeerved, wonld mitigate the evilé com- plained of, and save’ millions of dollars each year to the poorer classes of the city, aid to thatextent in- crease working capital, lighten tho damands upon re- Wief fonds, and prevent much of the sufferings which existy under the present order of things, We refer to the much-mooted rulo of changing the pay-days of your employes, wherever practicable, from Saturdays 2¢ each week, 28 is usual, to Mondays following, and 80 avoid the evils mentioned. ‘ue other point in this connection, In the present condition of financial and industrial pursuits, ai:d the prostration of business depending thereon, any mens- dye which tends to preserve the capital and wealth of the country, uaould be favorably regarded by all buri- of the Seat intarcats of his fellow-men ; and who aids and ‘pets this system af waste, is toa respon sible for i and uD arsgement 5 should be deprived the his labor given to those who will save the proceeds of ft. In other words, we ask ‘in proference to those who, by the support ops, are destroying the wealth, and hasten- bankruptey and downfall’ of the coun- trp.

Te the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Curcaao, Feb. 27.—In your issue of Thureday last there appeared an acconnt of a so-called Scandinayian indignation meeting held a day earlier against the Swedish journal Vya Verl- den, which, scoording to some resolutions adopted at that meeting, and constituting the chief part of your account, had been guilty of making grave accusations against the publisher of another Swedish paper, but refused him space for vindication. You were, of course, led to believe that that statement was true. For that I cannot blame you ; nor would it be reasonable to say that you should have acquainted yourself with the matter before you consented to give it publication.

"The Board of Public Works have called upon several of the more promineut ice-dealers in the city to visit them in » conference abont the feasibility of sawing a channel through the ice in theriver. It is thought that theae ice-deal- ers, having all the machinory necessary for the work, would thus be enabled to do it cheaper than the city authorisies. The use of dynamite is dernier ressort, as it is not quick enough in ita action. = City-Engineer Chesbrough yeatorday received atelogram from the crib stating that the water in the well was only 92.5 degrees above zero, or one-baif degree above the freezing point. Under these circumstances Mr. Chesbrough wonders that the city has escaped so lightly from the trouble of frozen water-msins. New York sad many other Eustern citios are in & much “worse condition than Chicago, and the danger from fire is excedingly great. The water-moins are not gotting worse. bat do not thaw out rapidly. In several instances cakes of ice, some 2 inches in thickness, have been taken out of water-mains where they must have been formed. _ ‘The rosdway of the Washington_street tunnel nas besn closed for repairs by the Board of Pab- lic Worke.

The sub- ject supposed to be under consideration was the Propriety of the Comptroller paying Commis- sioner Reno his sslary as 8 Police Commissioner revious to the settlement of the Reno-Cleve- land imbroglio. However, it proved to be a de- sultory conversation about the city finances in general. There were present the Mayor, Comptrol'er Hayes, and several Aldermen. ‘The new Conrt-House was next discussed. One member of the Finance Committee rashly assert- ed that s Court-House designed ons certain plan could not be built for less than 95,000,000. He was ailenced on this point, however, by a unani- mously-expressed opinion that $2,000,000 should be the limit. During all this conference not one word was eaid about the delinquent tax-certifi- cates held by the Comptroller, although Ald.

He said his name was George G. Green. He paid me a month’s reut then, and I did not see i ben he paid Gn Naw ears ‘until Jan. 15, me another month's rent. asid that Day my cash boy ‘ho had never seen a horse or buggy in the barn, although they nad hired it for.a stable. My brother-in-law, who was present, remarked that it was funny that a man should rent a place for astable and never vao itas such. We Eon went out to see what waa in the barn, but could not got in, We got a hatchet and imocked in board, and the cash crawled in. He anid there was nothing there but emoty boxes and & dark lantern. This made me suspicious o! burglara, and my brother-in-lsw said that he would speak to the detectives about it. I did not take any notice of the matter until Mr. Wat- gon spoke to me abcut it and asked me what was going on there; that there was, hammering and packing of boxes therd at night. Itold him that my brother-in- law bad spoken to the detectives abont it, and that they had taken no notice of it, He said ho was going to apeak to the police also. That was last Saturday. The witness declared that to be all he know about the matter until the police canght the men. In anewer to question, he then acknowledged that on the night of Jan. 14 hesaw the young man who had rentod the barn loading box on_& wagon, buthe did not ask any iestions. He paid his last rent Feb. 16. The witness objected to the atove being there, as it affected his insur- ance, and the man promised that he would not make a fire in it any more. MICHAEL SCHAACK, a North Side pcliceman, eatitied that he wae jotailed to watch the place last Friday week. Saturday evening ho was pretty suce something ‘was wrong, as he saw a bloody,shcet in the barn. He and his comrades watched Saturday acd Sunday, and no one came. They were concesled in the barn in the rear of Mr. Watson's house, and opposite tho barn in which the men had been working. On Monday evening, about 8 o'clock, & wagon was driven up by two men. One of them got off and wentinto the barn. He was just lifting a barrel into the wagon whon tho witness grabbed him. He resisted, and aatragzle followed, in which they both fell and rolled twice, notwithstanding that the witness clapped a rovolver to his side andthreatened to shoot him if he did not cease his resistance, Witness fell over the barrel in the struggle, and the man broke away and ran. Witness fired twico and was positive that he was hurt, and was about to fire again when a woman got in line betwean them, and he ran across a lot and got away. ‘They found two shovels and pick-ax in the barn and the five dead bodies. te OWEN DOWEN, the other policeman who was present st the en- counter, corroborated the former's testimony about the time of watching, and gave the fol- lowing description of his fight with the otner resurrectioni: “I went for tbe driver and said to him, ‘If yournaT'ilshoot you.’ He made as if feeling for a pistol, and then jumped on the other side of the wagon, go that the team was between us. A pistol-shot waa fired.in the fight of the other officer with his man, and the team started andI had to wait until they got by me, go that the man got a start onme, I ranufter him and as he would not stop, I fired, snd took him in the hand.

I followed bim and was as near as across the atrect to him, when I hsllooed to him to stand or Vd fire again. He took up an alley. By that time two or three otlzr officers had joined me, and one of them ht a candle and we went up tue ab loy and found him fying there.” ‘In anawer to questions ‘the witness testified that the bodies had stockings and gloves on, bul no other clothing. The old man had a cat on his forebead, and his hair was matted with blood. Tho bodies Icoked as if they had been atolen tom graves. Could not give an opinion as t¢ ‘THE CAUSE OF DEATH. Coroner Dictzech then said it would of cours¢ ‘be impousible to determine the causo of the death of the persons without medical examina- tion. Dr. Winslow, the physician connected with the Hospital, said that that would be almost im ‘possible in their present condition, it had been expected that the expressmex would be ablo to throw some light upon the sab- ject, but the three who wera examined {testified they were informed that the cases and barrels contained dry goods and notions, and tant they took them in the ordinary course of business at ordinary rates.

Coroner Dietzsch atated that ho hed talked with, the captared body-snatcher, but could get nothing out of him. He simply asserted that be was hired to drive tho wagon, and knew nothing about the bumness he was engaged in, He did not think it woald have been of aay use to have him present at the inquest. Neither did he think a post mortem examination of the bodies discovered was neces sary. It seemed to bim tha: it was clearly acase of body-snatching. He did not wieh to influence their verdict, bot that was his opinion, and so saying he left the case to them. THE VEEDICY, ‘After having retired for a few minutes, the jury returned with the only verdict they coula yendor on the evidence presented. They found that the unknown bodies came to their death, to the best of their belief, from natural causes + that said oodies were interred and resurri from some cometery unknown to the jury, by parties also unknown to the jury. ‘It had been expected that penne might have come forward who would have been able to identify one or more of the bodies, but such waa not the case. Four North Side undertakers put in an appearance, but conld not recognize any of them. ‘Sergt. Gerbing informed the reporter that TOE REAL NAME of the captured resurrectionist is Dr. L. R.

Tho two are well-known resurrectionists, and were, some time ago, fired upon by the sexton of Concordia Cemetery. They hung zbout that Cemetery for several days, some time ago, and tried to cor- Tupt one of bis assistants. No clew has yet been obtained as to the identity of the bodies, Sergt.
