I think it will, for the following reasons; ‘That by increasing the responsibility of differ entiofilcers, and doing away with tho oxiating di+ Yided opinions in thediGeront Boards,it will tond to promote harmony ju their working; couso. queutly we shall mout likely hayo more efticionc) en leas for it.

If you ask why this ia allowed, you will bo told that it ts uselena to say anything because the owner or contractor Ia a policeman, consequently allowed to do any thing right or wrong. If necessary you can find any quantity of similar abusss to thero in the Dopartmenta proposed to Lo changed, which shows how much wo have to thauk divided ro- spousibility for, Tho more the authority 14 di- vided amongat politicians, tho more friends of theirs there aro tobo provided for.—penurally in- compateut,—and tho more ditliculty in fixing tho blame whore it belongs. ‘Tho fact of abolishing the different Boards tn almost sufticiout to warrant any ono advovating tho proposed amendment, but you may go fur- ther, and consider whether undar tho new char- ter it would not be more dilicult to mako the two clatmbors corr than tha present one. Most mon would think it would take mote money to buy twenty mou thao ton, and no on propur- Honately and I think by having § body of men chockod ft would be more untikely to pans auch ordinances os tho Wabash Avenuo Railroad ordinance, ete, and porhans tha rivalry of the two chambors might result in giving’ our gus companies a olieck, aud euable 1s to bave a fair article fora fair price, That st is much easior tu manage ono ting than two of threo is gencrully admitted, .

It will bo time enough to open fire on this man, or his uominoe, wien the election comes. ‘Lheso advocdtes must have little faith in citizens of Chicago or Republicaninin, I prefer to Lavo & higher opinion of them, and think the influence of demagoguca and tho Povple'a party to boot will have less chance under tho uew charter tian the present one, a6, there will bo loss offizers to oluct, consequently they will take less iutercst, aud tha importance of the lection will wive on impetus to tho better class of citizouy which they radly need, aud theroby make it an impouuivility to olect any nominee of nuy man to such s posi- tiou. On tho contrary, it will, I believe, consign such with the party to the oblivion they merit.

ANGLU-AMERICAN, v= ‘TME SOUTH PARK CONDEMNATION CASE. To the Liter of Phe Chteago Tribune: . Cutcago, March 23.—In common with thou- sands of our citizens, tho recent South Parl condemnation case and tho oxtraordinary award of tho jury bave arrested wy attention, With your permission I will give my views on the sub- Ject, valueless though they may be. An honest desiro to werve the cuusd of justica ts tho only apology I have to offer, 5: In the taking of Innds for the public benefit an adequate compensation should be paid. ‘Chis ix an indisputable ralo, both of law and equity. But wheu a groater price is pald for auch land than the land will bring at o fair sale, the excoss igthe meavure of injury to the community. it is 8 wrong and a robbery that ebould be redresaed, whether dono in tho namo of justice or under the forms of Inw..

In’ fact, if thena public parks aro moro especially for one class than suothor it must bo for that groat bofly of tho people who cannot afford to buy private Frounds for their health and social enjoyment, They are for tho poor rather than for the rich; accees to them should, therefore, be conyenlont andchoap. 1n tho name, therefore, of the peo- ple, whogo rights in thiy cave aro paramonut to all others, I desire to enter a protest aguiust the rocont verdict which has beon renderod. ‘Tho jury porhaps aro nat to plame, a8 the ovt- deuce Was of w very contradictory charactor, It was founded upon a rule of average, which in this case resulted ina verdict double, and I be- lieve quadruple, what the Jand could possibly avo been sold for bad the park not been in ex= istonce, Lhe extravagaut valuations given by some of the witnesses would avo startled Munchauses hinwolf. It is needieus to refer to particulars. ‘Theso parties, drawing ontirely up- on their imaginations and paying no regard whatever to facts, might as woll havo valued the Jand taken, at $1,U0U.000 per sero, ay at tho yalue to which they testified. Would they have been willing to buy the proporty at ouo-lralf their own yatuation, Most certainly not, nor for one-quarter, wora there ane probability that the Park act would be sot aside. There ia but one just ruloto bo adopted In such casos, ‘This is tho measure of actual sates (Qiot trades or fictitious trauesctious), which have takon place im tho vicinity, This ty tho only eound, healthy, logitinato mode of reach- ing’ conclusion,—fair to {he owners aud just to the public. The Commissioners aro incroly oficersa and ropsegentatives of the people, So farfcom being misrepresented and abused, aa they have heon in somo quarters, they are an- titled to, aud should receive, tho liberal support of the community, Are tho peopio to be plun- dored in order that o fow — non-residents may bo curlehed?
