A Tnrinvye roporter called yesterday afternoon at the oftice of tho South Park Commissioners, on LaSalle street, in order to learn thor opinion of an articlo published in yesterday's J’ost and Aait reflecting sovorely upon thom genorally, and charging them with sending an attorney down to Springfleld to accomplish the pasrago of a bill by which tho recent verdict against them of 500,000 for the 80-rcre tract might be avoided, and with sihemlog to secure possession personally of anothor 2 acres of land, commonly known as tho Phillipa tract. Tho reporter wae lucky, in that he found in thelr ofico tho three Commissionors, Monsra, Chauncoy T, Bowen, George W. Gago, and 1, 3, Sidway, and their counecl, Dir. . I. Ayor, The following convorsation enaned ~'Roportor—I aco by the Post and Mail, gentlo~ mon, that Mr, Root is at present down at Spring: old on your bohalf. Commisrionor Gage—I twas not awaro of it; in fact, thin is ‘TNE FST INTIMATION I [AVE IAD, Commissioncr Bowon—And I. ” Commisaionor Sidway—Aund I. Commissioner Sowou—The fact Is, that Mr. Toot has been alck ot homo for tho past thres days. But can you lot me seo the article ? ‘ue Tninune reportor handed scopy of tho Post and Matito the Comminsionors who carefully read the article headed ‘* It 1s a Steal," aud com~ montod upon it ss follows : Mr. Gage—I sco the article states that Mr, Root bas gone to Springfigld with a bill on our account, Idon't know soything about the bill, This is all ontirely mado up, Such o thing was never apokon of in the Commission. ry aicieoas about the lability of $2,500,- Mr. Gago—Thbere nover waa but $2,000,000 worth issued, nnd a portton of these have been taken up in accordance with tho Canatitution. I nevor tostified that there was 22,500,000, or any other amount, in tho Treasury, but tho oficial report of the Park Commissioncrs of last Decom- ‘ber shows a cash balance of Q13,101.00, Reporter—What truth is there in the inginaa- tion regarding ‘rue 200 Acne TRACT? ‘Mr. Gago—With regard to that, I may ray that tho Commissioners, in 1869, under the advico of tueir attornoys, contracted to purchase 200 acres, known as the Phillips tract, for 2800 per acra, to be paid for when tho title was perfected, Under that contract we got all tho titlo that ons of the parties in the contract could give, and that title was considered tho best title py the attornoya of tho Park Cammissionora, who were of the opin- fou that wa woro not to pay the $300 per acto until the title was adjudicated and shown good inthe Commissiouors. Tho matter of the 200 acres is now in contest in tho United States Courts, and tho entire history of tho proceedings is on tho Conrt record, and subject to ublio investigation, Uniler this title the Parke Commusgionors took posseasion in the fall of 1869, and bayo held it sver since, aud oxpect to bold it pormanently. ‘The whole story about the Park Commisstoners being intoreatad in any part of the Phillips land és simply ridiculous, Roporter-—Where did it have its foundation? Mr. Bowou—It Is gotten up entirely OUT OF WiOLE CLOTH. ‘The {dea {s to ecato the Park Commissioners into asottlement in accordance with tho outraccous verdict recently recorded in connection with the 80-acro lot.—a verdict which allows $5,750 an acre for the poorest aud Ieast valuable tract of land in tho entire park syatem. Why, the Park Commissionors have purchased tho landa on the threo sides of this land at 666,66 an acre for ono pleco, st $80U on scra for two other piceos, and at £1,000 anacro forn fourth picce, all of them higher and moro vatnable land than the 8O-acre lot, I may add that Mr, Greoly, an ox-County Survoyor, testified thal 63 of tho 80 acres was so low-lying that it was not surceptible of drainage, and waa utterly useloss for resitonco purposes. When Olmatead and Vaux propared tho original plana for tho im- provemione, of tho park, thoy found it necorsary o makes Inko of this portion of tho 80 acros, as it wae utterly Immposaille to mako improve- monts upon it, Tho Commissioners consider that 8800 on acro is a fair valuation of this land, aud do not think it would fetch more if put up for alo at & public auction. Mr. Bidway—A pieco of land right south of and adjoining this 80-scro fot ia at present ad- vortived in Tux Tainvxe for salo at €2,000 por acro; land on which all tho tnxes and assosu- ments havo boen pald since 1869, which has been laid out in stroate, supplied with water-pipcs, d otherwise improved. ait oporter—How do you accaunt for THY VERDICT? Mr. Bowon—It will bo oxplnined when the proper time comes. Wo havo tho anthonty of one of the jurymon for saying that, on tho first vote of tha jury in the case, six of the twelve men voted for from $12,000 to $16,000 per acro forthe ground, which is from $2,00u to 26,000 an acre moro than tho highest valuation mado by the wituessea produced by the owners of tho a nd. Reportor—What are you going to do about it ? Mr. Bowon—Tho Park Commissioners will ro- sist to the bitter end any attempts to recover on such an outrageous verdict. Reporter—Would you change ‘TUE NOUNDARIES OF THE PAIX to foil thees attemnts ? Mr, Bidway—To quiet all oars in this rogard, I would aay that the Commissioners have no power to do go, and ara making no effort to acquira the powar, Br, Ayer—The thing {s practically imporsible. Achancein the boundaries of the park would invalidate tho whole assessment. — AMUSEMENTS, M'VICKED's THEATRE, Mrs, Roueby s9 far rocovorad from the effects of hor aicknoss as to be able to play at McVick- er's Thoatro laat evening.

Te the Editor of 1'he Chicaga ‘Tribune? Curoaco, March 19.—It mung seom strange to ony one who las submitted the provisions of the now Incorporation bill toa careful examina- tiou, and compared them with thoso of the pros- out charter on the samo matters, that tho Journal and the Times should be so anxious to repeal {t, or that thoy should aedigo as the causa of their hoatlilty to it the interest every good citizen should take fy good municipal govorn- ment, Aftora protty thorough comparisos of the present charter and the proposed one, it atrikes mo that in all respects in which the lattor repeals or alters the former, it is a great im- Provement on it, andau fioprovement in the interest of the public and the tax-papers. It ia better calculated than the present onc to exclude corruption iu tho mavagement of our city affairs. ‘That Mr. Heaing advocates the Lill is porbaps tho only reason why tho Times and the Journal oppose it, aud thia on the ground, doubttess, that Mr. Heslng can doro good and intends no good, Idanot feol called upon to dofand Mr. Hesing. But I cannot think ho would dace advocate % measiro glaringly contrsry to the Intorcats of the tax-payers, and of honenty and economy in tho adminatration of the city, In tho firat placo, Mr. IMosing’s Intorenta are in Chicago. Io ina tax-payer limeolf, and a rop- regontative of tho German population, who are Dleo tax-payers. Our Gornian population aro frecholders tu n very groat oxtent; and not only tho wealthier anong thom, but thousands of tho mochauics and tradesman. ‘They would not long follow tho load of a man who would add to tho burthen which, aa payers, they aro already ealled upon to bear. A ‘priori, thorefare, we should uot expect to find Mr, Hosing workin nual nat those wlio support him as their politic jendor. ‘The ery of corruption is equally absurd,—nay, more absurd. Boforn the bill can becomo a law, it must pars both Houses of the State Legiela- ture; one-eighth of tho legal voters must potl- tion that it be aubmitted to tho people whether they shall choose to reorganize undor tt or not; and then pn oisjority of the yotors of tho city is necessary to carry it. It would bo strange in- deed if tho Stato Logislaturo and a majority of the logal voters of the city should conspire to {aston a chartor on the goad people of Chicago, all in tho jutoreste of aring! And aupposing thoy did conspire, what remedy is there for it? But to como to tho main prorisions of the charter itself, It provides that, instead of ono Board, thera shall bo two, constituting the Com- mon Council,—a Lonrd of fiftoon Directors, aud a Board of Aldermon, threo from each ward of tha city. Now, thie is certafuly s vory great im- provement, It modcla our Municipal Logisia- tlye body after the pattorn which bag been ad- mitted from time immomorial to be the moat poxtock of all Jogistativo bodics,—tho British Parliament, It ig aftor tho model, too, of our National Congress. and of most of our State Logislatises, In this particular, therefore, the proposed cuarter I infinitely proforable to the pregent, Again, it provides that tho fifteen mombers of tho Board of Directors shall be froeholders. Horo is » guaranty docidedly in the iotoreat of tho taxpayer, of municipal honcaty, and econoniy; and in this, slxo, thore is an aualogy with tho best representative bodies in the world, which require of tha membera of the upper House qualitications suportor to those of the lowor. In‘ thia way, property is directly ropre- sented in tho City Council, as it ought to be. Anothor advantago of the Board of Directors is, that oight of its mombers, constituting a majority of tho Board, have s yeto on all city legislation, whotlor it relato to tho imposition of taxes, or to any othor mattor, And suroly, with our rystom of minority ropreaente- tion, Chicago ought to bo able to elect eight men freo from roproach, who would act as a chook on tho Board of Aldermon ond on tho Mavor, if those were disposed to bo tuo Invish with the people's mousy, Under tho proposed charter, if Chicago can find only cight honest and able men, it has the assurance of good government, Wo have no doubt that it hassnch mon iuabundance, and votors enough to put thom in power. Not tho least of the good points of tho charter is that, under it, tho people may compel any citizen to accept any place of trust in tho Common Council thoy bolisvo ha ought, because of bis poculisy qualilications, to fill. . ‘Thoro has heen much objection made to tho proposed ** Mayor's Cabinot,” conuiating of the Comptroller, tlio Couusol to tho Corporation, the Commisstoner of Public Works, tho Fira Com- missioner, and the Commissioner of Police, Any objection mads to thia Cavinat, however, would appiy_ equaily to tho Privy Coancil in “England, or to the Cabinet of our own President. Thoro 1s wisdom in counsel ; and it in a good feature of tho bill that tt re- quires theao officers ta moot woolly to consult, and daggest auch measures ng, in their opinion, will best advanco tho interests of tha city, This “Cxbinot" is roquirod to cousider and approve ail proposals for any puplic work or contract, and to award eitch contract to the loweat respon- siblo bidder, No award or letting isto bo valid unless approved by & majorty of the Mayor's Cabjuot. Thin insures, ns to all contracts, g con- contration of responelbility which cannot fail to be highly advautageous to the intoresta of tho city. It hay x tendency to excludo favoritiam, So far wo havo boew inablo to find any provis- ion in tho proposed charter in tho intorost of corruption. Wo might oxamine the whole bill with & like result, Wo would inquire, for in- stance, whathor it ia in tho interost of corruption that the Comptroller is reqwred to mako & mopthly statemont of all monoys or- deral to bo pet out, and on what account the samo have been paid? Oris it in tho intorest of corruption that this statement is roqnired ta bo made public? Is it in thé inter- ext of corruption that itis mado his duty to ex- amino the reports, booke, papers, vouchers, and Accounts of tho Treasurer, or that the Treasurer is obliged to submit tis scccnnta at any time to tho laupection of the Compttoiter or of the Fi- nance Committoa ? Wo have failed to find a siegio provision in the proposed charter which {s not in tho luterests of tho tax-payers and of good government, and wo yonture to eny that, if ovontually dofeated, whether in tho Legislature or at tho polla, it will be, not by the tax-payord, but the tax-eat~ ors. dvs. v SERVING MON8ES, To the £uitor of The Chicaaa Tribune: No, 263 Cutcago AvEeNue, March 19.—Having hada great many calls this winter to examtno some very bad cases of Iamonoss in valuablo horses belonging to private gentlemen, and hay- tug found a great many of theso animals had boon *unnorved,” I have takon thia opportunity to caution the owners of good and valuabio horses against an operation 60 injurious and useless. For my part, have naver known any bonofit to bo derived from the operation. In nine casca out of ten it has been performed on horees that had uothing serions tho matter with them, and the reault ia that thoao lores bave beon Jeft blemishod, and most certainly unsound, ~ns I would pronounce any horse that has lost pait of bis natural structure, The operation is porformed a8 follows: The horse is thrown and secured, and the limb to ba operated on removed from tho hobblea and ex- tended, tho hair having been previously ahaved off trom the paatern. Tho oporator thon feels for pulxation of the artery, or the round, firm body of the nervo itself on tho sido of the large meta- catpal bono, or on the os-suffraginie or large pastern jolut. Tho velu, artery, and nerve here run close togethor; tho vetn nearest the front of tho log, then the artery, and the uerve hehind, Tho ekin ia next cut through for an inch and ® half in length, ‘Tho vessels will then bo exposed to view, and tho nervo {a dia- tinguished from them by ita being bebind, and by its whiteness, A crooked needle threaded with silk is then passed under tho nerve, and it ja slightly raised up. It is thon diusccted from the cellular tisuues tat surround it, and about three-quarters of an inch out ont. The nerve should be firat dlyidod above, and the laat below, towarda tho foot. The horse is then turned over and tho samo operation performed on the other aldo of the leg. ‘Tho animal ia thon lot up after aeuture has been put through the skin and the wound closed, Ifo ia then kept on low diet for twoor threo wooks, until he is euppused to bo ronay for work—that is, so for #8 battering that foot to piecca which bas beon operated on, for, a8 thero ia no feeling leftin that member, he will use it with doublo the yvlolenco he would otherwise, and 60 deatroy the internal stractare, ‘The horse, you will bo told, is perfectly cared. Of course, Yee how nicely ha goca; not a article of lamenees. Now, I would iike to wow where the cure is. I say such a horse is not cured,—bhe is only botched. You have do- stroyed the fecling—that is all. A horse with- ont feeling could not possibly go lame, Grand roault! But ag thore is no Ismences without cause, and no cause without effect, the real canue not belug fonnd out, it bas uot been re- moved, snd go no cure, Of tho horses brought undor my notice all haye been muro or leas Jamo fa the limb that bas becu operated on, probably two or three years ago. I havo oporated on their feat, and succecdod in reliaving most of them by very simple troatment, which gocs to prove that many need not have been unnerved, Neurocomy, when first put in practica at tho Royal Collego of Vetorinary Surgeons, En- land, was an experiment to relicve what is own as paviculare folut diseaso—that is, ulceration of tho naviculare boue, & disease very rare indoed, gonerally found in hunters, horses that jump big leapa, whore tho front feet would meot with violont concnasion, as in such work Not ove horao in 200 has this discaso. Horses with contracted feet are not so diseased in all cases. Many that I have dissected after death, with bad contraction, had no ulceration of tho naviculare boue, the tones aud their surround- ing parte being inauoztmal condition. But 1 found most of them Jame from oxalfication of tho latoral cartilage of the foot, and neurotomy iu such cages would bea failure. ‘Ihe only way T could rehove such casca would be by operating on the foot itself, ‘Tho general terminstion of unnerved horsca (that ix, if tho operation bas beon done proper: ly) is tho decaying of the jnterual structure of tho foot, and often the foot itself drops right off, acd the euimal is then troyed. Some pooplo will tell you that they havo pad horses operated on, aud no such result happens; but you must bearia mind that those horses have been operated on in what is called the “Low operaon " of unuerying—that is, only a por ttonof tho nerve has been removed—a small branch bolow tho feilock joint, back of the leg, down cloao to tha coronut; but, though the foot did not comte off, 1t docs not prove the op- eration anything elao than a blominh, which will alwaya show. Any gontleman purchasing a horse should look in tho back of tho finrso’s front fetlocks for any such marks, and, if thero, tho horse is unsound. ‘Tho operation of unnerving should nover bo allowed in any caso, as it Is a pieco of treolosn cruelty, and in many caeos doce great harm, I remalh, yours rospectfully, DP, BR.

Tho loud-boasting Yankee hardly existed; the Amori- can gentloman was sa cultivated and refinod ag tho English gentleman, and what were called tho common people wero westly better, with tess radouoss, boorishnoss, and vulgar self-asuertion than in this country, Tho Americans were joalous of one another, and the consequence was that the manners of the lower classes woro far finer thao in Eogland or Scotland, aod from ono cud of the Union to another « woman might travel without trouble or inault, The rapid and extreme changes of temperature to which Amori- cans were liable told in many ways, not only in their constitutions, but om their institutions; and thelr climate tonded to produce that brassy sound and nasality with which they spoke En- gel, ‘tho people wero thinner-akinned, more excitablo aud loss ratisfled, lesa quiet, more restloss, aud more versatile than Britons. They wore proud of their free schoola; but the difil- culty was how far free education sbould go. There was on absence thoro, as here, of any in~ telligent teaching of the principles of political economy, and the consequence was that somo of he laws of tradoa wera worthy of tho middle agos. Sut, on the whole, the schoola were good —well built, well attended, and well taught, with &® little tendency, perhaps, to routine, The Amorics of tho future must bein the West, aud the ecat of empire in the Mixelssipp! Valley. There were excellent low and bigh schoola for the blacks, but he did not believe that education would make the negro a useful citizen, Negroew could noyor stand agsinst the Chincse ag labor Bongs— -Gchumann ers; but ies was to be dono with them ho did not know, ‘Ihe peril hosstting Amorica just now—and it was a dangor aa groat aa any which throatoned tho country during tho War—was bow to rexture the preponderance of the whites {n tha Houthorm States without taking away from the nogro what thoy wore obliged to give hitn,—tho franchtse,—or reducing him bnel to bondage, ‘Tuo oureo of Amorica waa its utter, unspenkablo, political corruption.

The New York Oatholics and the School Fund—German in tho Public Schooln. New Yons, March 19.—Tho Gorman mane “meoting yesterday evening at tho Coopor Inati- tuto to protest agalnet the proporal in the Board of Education to oxpunge Inatraction in tho Gor- man language from the public schools wan, in point of numbers and cnthusiasm displayod, practically o success. The action of tho Trustees of the,Roman Catholia rchoola in asking for sharoof tho benefits of tho public aenools haa boon recolved with surprise by many mombors of tho Board of Edueation. Vicar General Quinn states that undor the administration of tho Into Mayor Havo- moyer not a dollar could bo obtalned for their support, and tho Trustocs doapsired of obtain. ing any assistanco from the proseut corporation, Tho oxpenes of maintaining the parochial schools amounted to about $250,000 per annum, oxclusivo of tho school buildings. which bad alroady cost botwoon $2,000,000 and 3,000,000, Tue number of children attending theso schools amounted to fully 80,000, assigned to about fifty schools. Of course, tho Roman Catholic praperty-owners, by supporting the parochial schools in their respectivo parishes, woro not'exompt from paying thelr proportion of taxcu, which wont to tho fund for the education of tho children of other people, Conssqueutly it wonld be impossiblo to maintain tho parochial schools in suck a manner as to afford tho punily all hie advantages to ba obtained in tho public achools, The Rov, Fathor Farrell, of St. Peter's Church, a prominent advocate of the parochial system, says it ia ouly fair that the Catholics, who were all taxed for tho support of the public schools, should receive a portion of their taxos. for tho support of thoir own achools, as long as it could bo shown that the standard of cducation taught in thom was in every way equal to that of the public schools. ‘Fhey would bo satisfed with oven one-third of tho amount paid per hond for tho childron of tho publio schools, Tho support of the public schools cost about $36 por child, and the pnrochial schools ould be antisiled to recelva $12 or S13 per child. Thoy wore porfectly willing their claima should be submitted to tho Commit. teo, and had entue confidence in the judgment of any body of conscientious citizonr. A committee of the Hoard of Eancation is soon to confor with tho Trusteos of the Catholic schools. Tho present School Iaw provides that no school shall bo entitled to, or reorive,any por- tion or the school monoys, in which religious doctrines of tenets of any pniticular Christian or other roligtous sect sliail ba taught. An Ancedoto of Capt. Mnarrynt.s Tho Boston Adrertiser says that, about forty oars ago, when Mr. Ditlaway was Principal of the Latia eclool in that city, Capt. Marryat, the woll-known English author, waa thoro on a vieit ; ond about recess timo ono day, when the boys wero scatterod all around tho echool-houao, Marryat wandored out of his hotel, which waa near tho school-house, ina framo of mind ovi- dently oxhilarated by drink. It was the work of buts fow minutes to got tho whole crowd of boys around him, and then he began to ‘tell stories. The play-timo was over, tho bell had rung, but none of tho boys mored away, for Marryat hod told them to wait, saying that he would seo that no trouble camo to them. Master Dillaway came to tho school-howso door, but bis bockoninga wero usoloss. The boys stayod until Marryat had finished his tales, and then tho author marched in at the head of a proceasion of boys, evory trace of intoxication having dis- appeared, andin the largo ball of tha achool bogged pardon of the Principal for having kopt his echolars away, Glen Flora, Great preparations are being msde at Waukegan, Ii, for tho great closing out aale of the Glen Flora herd, which {s fized for Wednoaday, April 7, ‘Tho sala oatalogues just issusd contains pedigrees of 149 lic3d, 116 of which are cows and holfers repre- senting all of the popular families of the prosent day, Peculiar interest attaches to this asle from the fact that the hord ta largely mada up af Bates and Princess blood, Being substantially the frat important sale of the yeor, the result will naturally indicate whether provigus prices aro to be msintained, Mir, Parka an- signs as lis ils reason for reliring from active particl- pation in tho busincws of breeding cattle that the rowing popularity of the Glen Flora mineral spring offora suiicient inducement for tho employment of hia entire time and capital, —___.+—___ The Groat Overland Sunday Mall-Train will leave Chicago Sunday, March 21, at 10:16 a, m., via Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, stooping at all regular stations on main line, connecting at Omsho with Monday morning express for Denver and San Francisco, Tickets via Chicago & Northwestern or Chicsgo, Burlington & Quincy Railroads will be taken on this train, —__-___ .
