While such & reduction would be hailed with jov bywtho peopls of Chicago, who have long been suffering from excessivo rates, still there is but lirtle occasion for rejoicing, a8 tho a=duction made amouats to but very little. At the last meeting of the Board a modification was made in the preacnt tariff, and the rates 8o adjusted as to bring them more into_accord with the charncter and occupe- tion_of the building. Thus the rates on high buildioga \will hereafter be higher than on low ones, while herotofors mo distinction was made. Lowbuildiogs have been reduced, but the rates on high ones remsin the same as they were heretofore. This was done to prevent the pon-Board companies from knowing the exact Taes, and prevent them from * cniting under” the regular Board rates. Even this slizht reduc- tion was conmiderably modified at 2 meetag beld ¥ morning. There is somo talk of recon- sidering the whole action st the next regular meeting of the Board.

TIHE CHICAGO UNIVERSITY. ‘The Baptist Weclly, of Philadelpbia, publishes tho resolatious offered by Mr. Greenebsum at tho last meeting of the Board of the Chicago University relafive to divesting tho University of its denominstional character if the Bapliists did not pay off its indebicdness, and commenta thereon as follows: ‘These resolutions confirm tho reports long current of effors that have been made to deprive tno Baptist denomination of their chartered righls in that school, The knowledge of these edorts, and the fear engen- dered by the inefliciency of the administration, hav Trevented that hearty co-operation of the friends of the Univorsity which might otherwise havo boen en- joyed. And now, if our Chicago brethren desire to avail themselves of the advanisges of tho centsnnlal educational movement, they will find it mecessary to adopt a eourss by which the peril threatoned by Mr. Greenebaum may never | arise, Whether these resolutions originated in hos- allity to Baphst interests, or in a policy of despair on the part of the adminintration, does not appear. But if they become the poiicy of tlio Board they will injurs the prospects of ths University, The only course left the presqat administration, in_ case it i3 unable to pre- vent istakblo threat from passing the Bowrd, i8 to step dovn and out, and thus sccomplish two desirable ends, viz: clear itself of the suspicion of treason to tho denomination, and maks way for an efficient and trusted Baplist headship.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE. T the Editor of The Chicago Tridune : Crmoaag, ‘April 8.—Fearing that my character and that of my sister, Mies 8. H. Stevens, may saffer in the good opinion of some of our friends from the attack made upon us in the Baturdny’s isans of the Times, in which that paper accused us of illegally drawing money from the county, by misrepresentation of work performed, I beg you will ailow me sufficient space in your paper to vindicato myselt and her from this cruel and wanton aspersion ageinst onr good name. The following is the truth in the case: Last sum- mer, while waiting in the County Clerk's of- fies, I began cssually to examine some tax-decd books Iying befora me, and, while doing 80, mentioned to my busband, Hermaun Lieb, that I was familiar with legal copying (my father having been Under-Sheriff in one of the largest counties of New England for over sightcen years), andthat, if there was noille- \ gality in my performarc: of the worlk, I should bo glad to doit. Whilo tho subjoct was under discussion by us, Conaty-Attorney Rouutree en- tercd,—he then occupyibz the office with my ‘hnsband,—and I bronched tho matter to him. In reply, as ke will doubtless remember, he said tiat ho saw no cartnly objection to my doing all the work I ,wanted to, aud, by way of compliment, I eappose, added that ko knew I could do it better than onc-half the men topsiats. I turned to my husband and re- marked, *‘You hear what the Attorney says 2" My husband replied: ‘ Woll, you must do all such businoss with my Chiet Clerk, Mr. Drary. T shell hevo nothingsto say about 1t.” I forth- ‘ith sought Mr. Drury, stating to him my in- tention, and asking of him to take his best malo copyist, and make an average of the namber of pages ba was able to write and compare_in = dey by continuous labor, and that I thought the estimale would be the just one by which I shon!d bo paid. I accordingly took home, cno block from the Court-Houss, the following books, which are ‘open for inspaction at the County Clerk’s offico : Vol. 27, Admiristrator’s Accounts, “Vol. 28, Guardians’ Accountg, Vol. 29, Inventories and Appraisements, Vol. 80 do., Vol 31 do., Vol. 24, Tax-Deeds, and Vol. 83, the same. I have con- scientiously performod myework, as well as my sister. and most acceptably to the Chjet Clerk, Mr. Drary, as be will testify to, only taking for our compensation such pay as wo were entitled to by the pages, without reference to the days employed in such work, and the pages have been counted at the end of tho month by ‘tho Chief Clerk or the bookkeeper. 1t is certainly with feelinga of humiliation that Ithus explicitly give the dotails of my conneo- tion with the office of my husband asan employe, bat when Iam wantoniy aud maliciously thrust ‘before tho public in the light of a thief, I deom it my duty towvards myzelf and my family to place the truth befdro a fair-judging people.

To the Editor of Ths Chicago Tribune: ¥ Cmcaco, April 3.—Your rocent articls, on “How American Boys Are Wronged,” because they are not generally welcome in learning trades by some of the tradosinions, is very well timed. You show that our boys have serious difficulty in gotting the opportunity to learn a trade, and {hus fit themaelves for the task of self-support when they must depend upon thomsalves: that they are, in fact, compoiled to becoms boot- blacks, or enything but competent workmen, because *‘union ” men make no placs for them in tho places where they work, and ‘which places they are interested in fllling for their own benefit. 1 . From the standpoin of right, or co-opera- tive, condition of things, such trostment of the boys by their elder brothers is indeed shameful. 1f anybody or everrbody was acting on the prin- ciplo of co-operation, wstead of this -overlasting strife of competition, such a thiag as keeping down tho weak by the strong would bo un- known ; bus so long a8 it is the rule of sction among men to compote 28 against ono aunother for tne best end of the bargain (overy fellow for himself and the devil take tho Lindermost), I exzect to seo the nnion men look out for their own interests , in the woy they ate doing, without exciting spocial wonder. Do ot believe their conduct in the premises is such be- ruusu they love to discourage tie boys, but feel that they are only living up to the requiroments and necessities of our preseat competitive system of ibings. Do not blame them above any other class of men living under and personalizing the Bamo system. Thers is 0o way given amonz men whereby such things—such ill-troatment sa indicated: I plan or incentive of action. Notthat 1 expect people to atop competing as an element of righteous progress, but that the end for which they compete shall embrace general good. in which the particular good will necessarily be incladed. 4 As we are now situated, we cznnot with safety throw stones at one another, becauss we are +allin tho same bost,” and somo distance yet from the laud of promise.

We have asked modastly of pub- lic charity, and have received vory little. The total cash contributions to the Terrizorial Reliot Committee is 81,208.90. ° During tho last two wecks every plan has been attompted and every method tried to secure soms holp, even slight, from Chicago. Ihave been treafed with grest ceurtesy, and our nofort- unate and helpless sufferers havo received much sympathy from many of the leading bosiness men of ‘this city, hut I have so far bsen wholly unable to soccure’ any practical results or the ective co-operation of ‘suy citizen. We have tricd to take care of our own during the wintor, and have been .unable to continue doing sc. ‘Ihe Governmont appropriation is rendering us temporary belp.

A OASE IN FOINT. T the Eéitor of Tho Ciicage Trioune: Citicago, April .—The Jlichigan avenme im- broglio and the resultant belsaguerment of a Brooklyn Tomple, of whicn I readin your col- umns yesterday are, in connection with the bay- window to which the venerable Hippocrates is obliged to resort to receive his moral shocks, sufficiently amusiog. Tha whole affaic * reminds me ™ vory forcibly of an anccdote, the scope of which lies to the east of us: A Germazn with his wifo and daughter lived in the outskirts of the city sbout a mile from the river whith gives its name to the locality. Ono fine day the Mayor was astonished to ro- ceive a complaint from tho worthy Teaton that naked men hsd lately gotten into the habit of bathing i the river in the mornifgs, and that his dsughters were much shocked by such inde- cency. ' Why," said the oficial, the river is 80 far from your house that I am at a loss to un- derstand how the young ladies can seo the bath- ers.” *Ob,” said the complaining paterfamil- ias, *“mein torters has shpying-glasses, you know!” My impression ig, though my memory has not been soverely taxed on this puint, that the *' gpying-lasses™ wera obliged to give way to public opinion, and tho bathers were no moro seen from the houso. Honce, let Hippocrates take comfort, and resolve to withdraw himsolf fram the bay-window, aud contne bimself to thore alfaire which may be_diasinctively sod ex- clusively called his own. He will soon loam, be- liove me, how much his morality will becomo clevated. Coxrox BENSE. Z¥T JUSTICE TE DONE. T the Editor of i Chicego Tribune: Cmcago, April 8.—In your report of the great spelling-match at Farwell' Hall Jast evening you doan injustice to one of the principal partici- pants. You ssy that Mr. Newhall was given two opportumties to spell the word ¢ frachygrapby.” This statement 18 but half troe. Ouly ono attempt to spell the word was afforded” him, although, 8t bhis request, it was twice pronounced. Tous in tho andience, Mr, Pickerd scemsd to utter the word asif its first syllable was **frack,” which pronunciation would natorally lead. one not familiar with the word to suppose that it wes spelled with two +4¢'s," and this i precisely the error into which Mr. Newhall fell. “The remaining syllables were correctly spelled, and 1t-i8 evident that, had the ‘pronunéiation of the word been correct, bo would bave mastered it without difficulty, although it was obviously a new word to him. As both Hfr. Newhall aod 3r. Fisher missed this word, the protest of the latter againet receiving the prizo for the beet spelling was not only a grace- ful thing to do; but was also 1n excellent taste, inasmuch as the result was not & demonstration of supenority. The finale was very unsatisfac- tory to the nadience, the goneral desire being that the contest should coutinue till one of tho spellers oaptured a word which had escaped his advorsary. FAIRPLAY. A GROWL. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cmecaao, April 3.—Now that the list of Jus- tices who are to be appointed has been revised, wonld it not be proper to aek why the Germans:| are 80 entirely ignored ? The revised list con- sists of two Irish,®two Scondinavian, twelve: Americans, and threo German Hebrows. It; ustbe understood that the gentlemen whobave, as Germans, becn recommended, are not Gor- mons, but simply speak Germap. This is an jmposition on’ the Germans, and does them a great injustice and reflects no credit_upon the- udges who mado the selestion. GEDMAN. —— 3 THE CITY OFFICES. The City Treasurer yesterdny paid out $3,000 to the Board of Health ‘and $58,000 fo the school-teachers. ] The Committes on County Relations will mast at 2 oclock Mondey afternocon in tho City Clerlt’s office.

John Parker, stoker of Engine No. 2, who was snspended for one month for carelessness i run- ning his engive, thinks ho has been vindicated by the fact that tho engine was burned through the negligence of the engineer, a8 has been fully proven by tho repairs found necessary by the re- pairer, Mr. Mason. He says that the engine was burned on the night o! the.24th inst. o bedty* that tho fiues had to be replaced and other re-. pairs made. He will apply for reinstatement. Tho Fire Marshal yesterday submitted to the Bonrd of Poiice bis report of fires for the month of March. During that month there were 22 fires, 7 of which were caused by carelessness, 7 were incendiary and sapposed; ovor-heated stove, 1; defective chimpey, 2; stovepipe too near woodwork, 1; and 8 resulted from unknown causes. The valuaof the buildinga and contents was £352,675 ; loes on baildings, £3,830 ; loss on goods, $3,280'; total loss, 87,110 ; _total insur- ance, $204,750; insurance over loss, $198,745. The report was accepted snd placed on file. . Mershal Petrie had a narrow escaps from » horrible death while runniog to tho Madison street fire Friday night. Just as bis wagon was aoout to cross the railroad track at Sangamon gtreot, a locomotive.came up and bumped a car from one side of the street to the otber. The coupling attached to tho oar caugbt the wheel of hi8 wagon, upset it in & demolished condition, and dumped the Marshal and his driver on the hard pavement. The diiver and the horse ‘es- caped uvinjured, snd the Marshal now carries around a geverely sprained arm. The Board o Police intond to take stops to_provent sect of this kird by stationing watchmen at crossings generally in nze after dark. 5 Sovoral property-owners along Wabash ave- nae, prominent among whom was Supt. Crane, of the Wabash Avenue 'Bus Company, yesterday called on the Board of Publio Words, with rof- crence to the repairing of Wabazh aveoue. As soon 28 tha frost is out of tho ground Wabasn avenue will be in o ‘fimny bad condition. The Board have no fonds with which to repair tho streot, unless they use the $20,000 appropriated for street-cleaning purpoges. Every cent of this, and more, too, i3 needed for the oleaning of uppaved stroets.- They are oppoed to paving the siroet, as that wonld neceseitate rais- ing it to grade, involving & specinl assessment. Bosides, the Chicago City Railway Company have the franchise of a track on the street, and it would not do to malke any improvements until the Railroed Company decides what to do. Br. Crane suggested tbat the worst holes be filiod up with stons. This seoms to bo the only feasible plan of improving tho road for the present, shd will prohably be the one*adopted by the Board of Public Works. The Committes on Police met yeatordsy after- noon, aud, sftar listeniog to the claims of Alex- andor Bucher for the night-scavenger contraot, adjourned 1o witness an exhibition of the Phila- delphia machine. The Committee have givan Mr. Bucher ons more week to get his machine roady, and st the expiration of the time they in- tend to award the contract. Blr. Bucher seems inclined to claim tod mnch. He was fortunato in secaring the award of the contract from the Board of Health as being oue of the lowest re- sponsible bidders. The Committee on Police have declned to concur in the award until they have witnessed the machine, which, Mr. Bucher avers, i8 now in process of con- struction. Mr. Bucher maintains that the coctract, if awardad to him, gives him a monop- oly of tlie busiusss, Tho ordinance passed by the Board of Health proscribes the mode of performing tho work, andit is said by several emineat lawyers that the contract cannot create »monopoly, aud that every mun perfornsing tho worlk according to tho inatructions of the Board of Health ig'entitled to a fair share of the work. Tho Turner case of 312,000 damages against the city for giving the monopoly of !ll.nfht_ezing 0 Reid & Sherwin is cited in defonse of this ment. The above constitates the defense set up by the old scavengers, and they will fight it even to the wnfia. . THE PUDLIC LIBRARY.

Blitz and Whitney to give an entertaizment for the bonefit of the Library on certain coaditions was respectfally declined. The Committee on Buildings snd Grounds re- ported that they had failed in their efforts fo ne- gotiste ‘for a lower rental with Mr. Myers, and that conssquently they were in favor of the re- moval of thelibrary to the Dickey Buildivg on the terms proposed at their last meeting. Messrs, Raetor and Rosenthal wero very coaser- vativoin thoir viows regarding tho change, but manifested no objections on hearing the full rezsons for the removal, and the treatment to which their Committee had been subjected.
