Bills for $762.90 for Scandi- navisn books, one of Mesars. McDongall and McKinley for carpenter-work, amounting to $114, and one of the Staats Zeitung tor $302.80 for bookbinding, were reported to be correct, and ordered to be paid. CLERICAL CIANGES. Mr. Rosenthal, from the Committes of Ad- ministration, reported that Mr. Carroll, one of ‘tho assistants on duty in the Library in the even- ings, had resimned, and that it would beneces- sary to fill bis piace. The salary was €3 per week. So ordered. Also, a report recommend- ing that two assistants be employed at a com- pensation of $68 week each, in the place of Mr. Anthooy, one of the assistants who hsd re- “signed. ‘Jt. was stated that Mr. Anthony bad: been receiving s salary of $600 per annum, 80 that tho tro in bis place would cost but little more, while the increaze was absolutely neces-. sary. ; "Wir. Raster said that there had been a meeting of Bohemians, at which resolutions had-. been, :adopted calling upon the Board to recognize ther nationality inthe condact af the Library, | and that he would suggest the appointment of & Bohemian as one of these assistsate. THE READING-200%. Mr. Anthony wae opposed to making any &P- pointments st oxce, as ‘he believed thst by & re- breacization of the Library the present force would be sufficient. ‘Ihe troubie was, that the tims of ‘the attendants in the reading-room was continually taken up in going istotho library roper for books to be read in the reading-room. Ba plan was to havo the reading-room up-stairs ; then if people ‘wanted books to Fett lot them go into the Jibrary for them, nat BO take up the Hime of the reading-room attendan's By the proposed chango the practico wor bo Pooken ap. and it would save the cost of the ox: tra assistance. Ho moved that the whole subject be postponed until the next ‘meeting, when it pond be considered in connection with the plan fors gement of the library rooms. ‘Mr, Rosenthal was in fayor of economy, but theories would notrun a library for five minutes, and they should get at something practical. 3nd icaded these assistants. The plan sdvo- ented wonld also require sdditional assistants. gatet ought that Mr. Anthony's place should be filled in the way suggested. ‘Mr, Anthony theaehy it wes all very welt to say theory. _ Ho felt positive that if the systema £2 tvocated ‘was adopted, they could get along with thelr prosent foico. | Mr. Raster said that it was news to him tbat the resding-room had been used in this way. Ho thought they shold dispense with issuing pools in the library-room. ‘Mr. Shorey said that it was the practice of all the libraries in the country to allow readers to uso books in tho reading-room. People came thero who had no- convenient room to read in. Of course, the cost was greater, bat the whole lbrary.was a cost, and the de- partment where the greatest good was accomplished at the least cost yras in this read- ing-room. It had oeen obj ected that novels were principally called for. If thoy were tobe read at all, it was better that they should be read in the resding-room and he would advocate & chango Tooking to tho keeping of those books in that department.’ When the Library had the neces- sary means aresding-room should be fixed up for people of moro acholarly tastea who came to consult special books of reference. ‘Wr. Antnony said that the call for novels from the resding-room sometimes amounted to 180 per day. if that labor wero cut off it would save fhe ned for another assistant, which was ao im- portant thing, in tho prosent stato of their finances. - _ Mr-Poole, the Librarian, who was present, ras called upon for an expression of his views. He said that an assistant was abealately nee: sary to take the placo vacated by Mr, Anthony. ‘The ides in having two assistants in his pico yras not to put them both in the reading-room, but to secure avother assistant for the library. ‘There were ofton fiom thity to fifty persons ata time waiting to obtain books, and another Sesistant was absclately necessary in the cireu- Isting department. In regard to the demand for books in the reading-room. he thought the aver- age wes about 176 a day, of which only « small proportion was novels. ‘The demand for a good Pies of books was increasing, and be thought this supply of books to the reading-room was one of tho most valuable features of the Library. Mr. Wickersham, Secretary to the Board, stated that it would not be possible to get along without two assistants in the reading-room. ‘Tho nero filing of periodicals was in itaclf no incon- derable task. ‘Tho greator part of the books called for were of a good class, and if the giving out of novels in that room were stopped it would CUrisit the labor toa very small degree. ‘The statistics of the reading-room, 038 compared with the circulating department, would show that in tho former 75 per centof the books given ont were standard works, while im tho latter it was just the reverso. net ‘Mr. Onahan asid that he concurred in the re- marks of Mr. Shoroy and of tho Librarian, and, 20 far from cnrtailiug in any way the accommo- ations offered to the public by the Library, swould be inclined to extoud them. Mr. Authovy finally withdrew his motion in favor of one offered by Mr. Raster, that an as- sistant, in place of Mr. Anthony, be engaged at a salsty of $6 per week. ‘Lhe motion was adopted. ‘At this stage of the procesdings, WE. PROSOP HUDER, qho has figured as a lesder in the recent Com- munistic moctings, appeared in the room as delegate from the Committee appointed at the mecting of Bohemians lust ‘Sanday, to present yesolatious to the Board of Directors of the Pablio Library. Mr. Hudek presented a set of resolutions, reciting that there was s Bohemian population of 20,000 in the city, and petitioniug fhat worka of Bohemian literawure be obtained fortho library 2nd 2 Bohemian clerk be engaged for the Loneiit of the Bohemians, many of Whom Wore very imperfectly acjuainted with English, Mfr, Raster, a8 a member of the Committee on tho Library, explained that efforts had been Jnade to secure Bohemian works in the same proportion as those of other langnages, but they were not able to obtain lists of books. If the Bohemian residents of tho city had taken this ‘action aome time ago, aod had given assistance to the Committee to let them know what books to procure, they would now be supplied. ‘This Was done by a Scandisavian society, who sap- plied a list of worus from Scandinavian litera. Faro, which had accordingly been procured. At present the Board was withont fonds, and would Pave noue until tie next aunual appropriazion, when it woald procure Bohemian bouxs. ‘Mr. Raster promised that ins year no library in tho coautry would have as many Bobemian books as this. - ‘The resolutions were referred to the Commit- tee on tho Library. ‘Mr. Onahan moved that tho Committee on the Library ehould mature and report sume ayate- matic method of book-buying.

He also of- fored the building entire for $30,000, the coun- ty to pay taxes, ineurance, ropairs, and all ex- ponees. ‘The Committee, after s lengthy dis- cnssion,, concluded that the rental was exhorbi- tant, and decided adversely to Dr. Major'a pro cation. They were of tho opinion that s build- fog coutraily located could be, or ought to be, secured for about 310,000 per anpum. In the foeantime they will use due diligence in looking eleewhere for the much desired accommodations. There being nothing further before thom, they adjourned. —.— TOWN POLITICS, ‘THE SOUTH SIDE. ‘Town polities hsvo suddenly become interest- ing, owing priucipally to ‘Tue Tarpuse’s local articles, which have reminded business men that to vote 1n:April will be to secure something like 8 good, first-class dieposition of town business, In the soveral towns tho tickets in the field have been alladed to thus early, for the simple purpose of attracting attention to the reputation of candidates. The machinations of the, pro- fessional politician in the way of compromizo, and so forth, have been alluded to with marked effect. The situation of the present writing supplies the evidence. . It is now certain that Ald. Foley, of the First ‘Ward, is a candidate for Collector,—a fact men- tioned as probable heretofore in Tax Tamunz,— from the circnmstance that negotiations wero ponding whereby the Cleary interest in the southern portion of tho South Town could be transferred from ® certain combination to swell the votes certain in the northern portion of the town. These wegotiations have doubtless proven’ successial, 28 the Alderman has uecepted the candidacy for Collector. The party on the ticket for Supervisor, itis aid, will bo an Amorican. For Assessor the name of Edward Phillips is méntoned. This gentleman was Assessor before; isa man of Zood atunding, both sociably and politically Speaking ; sud is undoubtedly a very popular candidate. Reforonce has slso been made to Mr. P. F. Driscoll. The -Town Clerk, it ia said, is to be a first-class, ro- liable German. Against this combination the atrongest ticket will be taat of Mr. Evaoe. The fight, thas arranged, promises to be ono of much interest. The doughty Evans will no doubt mate a lively contest, but Foley’s supporters are contident that, by s good ‘‘draw,” he can cap- ture the colored _people,—now, it is undoratood, the property of Evans,—and, with skillful manip- nlation of tho black ball, win the game, —that is, if there iano sosp placed on the cues. Asto “goap,” the spoculator is respectfully referred to Mr. Michael Corcoran, brother of Ald. John T. Corcoran. TOWN. Here is where the tickets multiply in swift succession. In addition to the tickets so far publiabed, there 1s one on which John Wade iso candidate for Collector, Thomas Noiaa for Su- pervisor, Jonas Johnaon for Assessor, and George Hartwell for Town Cierk. ‘Ihe opposing factions, itis said, are putting forth desperate efforts to conciliate this combination. Tho other tickets have been published in Tue ‘Tneuxe. Mr, Wade is in the liquor businoss, eo is Mr. Nolan. -Mr. Jobnson is in the livery business. Mr. Hartwell is a plumber and gas-fitter. The heavy artillery of this com- bination, it is anid, will be furnished by John- son, who, in addition to his own vehicles, has chartered every available institution in the city for the transportation of voters. Meetings aro beld at regular intervals in Wade's Hall, it is ramored, to further the succass ot the ticket, psoriasis 7Y. MC, A NOMINATING A TICKET. A meeting of the Chicago Young.

Prosident of the Asaociation. ‘Tho Association had progressed greatly within the past faw years, but there was still room for improvement. What was wanted was s Preat- dent who could go out before the world and taxe ‘a prominent part in religious movomenta, which was a thing he could notdo. He had hoped to hear the name of Mr. John V. Farwell suggested. He positvely declined to accept the nomination. Philip Myers objected to his name being placed on the Committee. * Phe Chair suggested the name of H.G. Spaf- ‘ford for President of tho Association. On motion of Mr. Bouton, the name of Mr. Farwell was substituted for his on the Commit- tee’s report. On motioa, the name of Dr. T. C. Duncan was substituted on the Board of Managers for that of ir. Myers.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cutcaao, March 6.—In theee days of piercing winds snd dnfting snows—whon the mercury shrinks down into the bulb of the thermometer, ‘and the water is solid in the pipes; when the Jake is a vast field of ice, and the landscape an endless waste of snow ; when the coal-dealors aro the only class who maintain a show of com- posure ; in these days we turn wistfully to the Pacific elope, whore the breezes blow balmy in "December and the‘orange turns golden in the January sun; where the strawberry ripens in February, and the rigors of winter sre un- known. To thoso who listened to tho lecture on ‘Southern Californian” last Tuesday evening, at Farwell Hall, the glowin description of the country and its wonderfu! productions, verified by the photographic repre- sentations with which it was accompanied, made alasting impression, andno doubt many who bad long hoped to escape the biting blasts of our winter months, left the hall fully determined to aceka more genial climeon the Pacific ccast. ‘That many of these will abandon tue idea ss the ‘summer days of spring approach, there is no doubt ; but still there are many others who long 8 det “plan of action with which they could unite.

L. HOW THE NEW TAX BILL WORKS ON CIGARS, To the Editor af The Chicago Tribune: Cricaco, March 6.—On the 2d of this month a law was enacted to raise the tax on cigars from $5 to $6 per 1,000. On the 8d of this month the Collector’s office for the salo of stamps for cigara at the old rate was yet open. A cigar manufscturer who had ready money to invest in cigar-stamps could purchase them at the old rate,—that is, 5 per 1,000,—for an walimited smount, and 5 great many purchased thousands of dollars worth. According to the nice decision of Com~ misaioner Doug s cigar manufacturer who invested hie movey fin cigar-stamps will be able to manufacture cigars for the next two or more years and pay tax only at the rate at 85 por 1,000, and a manufacturer who had no ready money to invest in stamps will have to pay tax at the rate of $6 per 1,000 not only on cigars manufsctured after the Sd of this month, bat for all cigars he had on hand after the 3d of this month, though ho manufactured them two or three years ago. ‘The unfairness of the decie- fon of the Commiesioner is go plain that I hope he will be induced to withdraw 1t and issue what Yeousider ao just one, that is, that all cigars manufactured prior to March 2, 1875, will pay tax at tho rate of $5 por 1,000, and all cigara manufectured after March 2, 1875, will pay tax at the rate of 26 per 1,000. .

Tho Board of Police yesterday accepted and filed the following recommendation from the Suporintendent of Tetegraph: Genrirxes: I respectfully suggest, in view of the uncertainty that exists as to what, if any, appropris: tion for the extension or reconstruction of the lines of our fire-clarm telegraph the Council may make for the ‘approaching fiscal year, that such of the new boxes how under contract asare destined for uso on tho Weat Sids be accepted from the contractors complete inall respects except as tocircuit-wheels, The con- tractors étate that thsy are and have becn seriously delayed in completing their work, by reason of not having numbers for the boxes, Not knowing what to expect in the way of sppropriations I have found it impossible to furnish the nambers required with the certainty that they would not be changed when we come to place the boxes in position, ‘The lines now in service are overloaded with boxes, and no more should de connected with them, and in’ any event the new boxes shonld bo on lines cntirely soparate from thase now in service, The former givo their siguala by Closing tho circult, the Intter by opening it, If wo shall receive an appropriation in accordance with my ‘estimate for reconstruction now on file in the Secre~ tary's office, the lines can be 80 placed that the new boxes can be placed anywhere at pleasure, If, how- sever, only a light appropriation ia made, I should recommend placing them on lines as short as possible, and in that ease considerable expense would be in- curred in (ebanging the numbers of doors and whecls of old boxes displaced by new omes. It will cost no mors to have the wheels made when it shall have been. decided. what numbers they shail bear than to have them made, andt may, and probably will, effect a con- siderable saving 1a coat of changing. For these Taasons Trecommend that the boxes be accepted com- plete in all respects except circuit wheels, the con— frsctora giving o bond to furnish them when required, ‘The cost of tue unfurnished portion of-the boxes will prrbably not exceed $100, and, when finished, can be Attached to the box by myself’ or the men in the office as well as at the main factory. ‘THE RELIEF 4 AID COMMITTEE. ‘The special Committee appointed by the Com- mon Council to investiga:e the Relief and Aid met yesterday afternoon in conjunction with the Commune Committee.
