Fourth—The chief vaiue of thelot is 1n its be- ing opposite the new Government buildings, and | the extension will not add to this value. )’Zm’—?l'ha ‘convernuce of the waost 40 feet to Iis danghter was made nearly threo yvesrs ago, aud was not a put-up job,as some seem to thiuk.

This puts the matter 5o far as Mr. Otis is con- earned 1o a very different Light. —_——— . LITTLE JOE, AXOTIER MEETING OF HIS ADHERENTS.

Ths expiration of the term of Justice Bayden as presidinz genius of the Soath S.de Police Court leaves vacast one of the most important of the minor oftices of the City Government. The honeaty and firmuess of the incumbent of that position deside, t> a great dogres, the ex- tent to which gambling saall bs car- ried on on the South Bide. TWith an inofficient Polico Justice, McDondald and the Haunkiness and their followars aro left practically fres to work theirowa sweet will ; with an efiet entone thay findthemselvescurbod and restrained at every point. By the re-enactment of the Alay: or's bill the =authority to select the Justice to it at the Sonth Side Police Court is taken from the Conncil and practical'y vestod in the Mayor. Y'resumably, therefore, this important ofice is not to be controlled by Conncil rings or combina- tions, 'The judgment of ths Mayor is ihe chicl factar in the selection. ; Tad the matter been left to the Connel, it seems likely that Mr. John Summerfield would have beer chosen. The turniug over of the ap- poiniment to the Mayor dampened, but only for a time, the hopes of his friends, who are now i working on Mr. Colvin as aesiduourly as they had been toiling with individual Aldermen. Sn- perinterdent Rehm and the Hoo. C. B, Farwoll, assisted by Mike McDonald snd. the whols gam- hliog frateroity, bave been fightiog vigorously for the appointaeat of Mr, SBummerfield. That gentleman was Polics Justice for two years, and it appears that the record he made f.r himse'f then was such as to convince the gamblers that he is a ** safe man.” Not satisfied with extolling Snmmoerfield, h's friends have beon s'exdils irving t) blacken the charzacter of Logan D. Wal;ace, confessedly his sttongest opponent. They have circalsted the rero:t that Wallace was the gumblers’ candi- date, & storv which 18 untrue in every particular, forwl.‘w geatleman bas no sympsthv whatever'for that cass of robbers. Tuo last fabrication igthat Mr. Wallace served as a. XMajor 1 ihe Rebel army. This also is nntrue. Mr. Wallace, who was a schoolmats of Robert T. Lincoln at Springfield, has lived in llinois for the last nine- teen yeare. Hs is 3 gentlemsan of cultare, logal abilitv, and inteenty, qualifiel in every respect for the performance of the impo.tant daties of a Police dlacistrate. 1t seems gingular that Mr. Summerfield caonot be satistied with being & simpla Justice of the Peace, which is notorionsly & vers profitatls office. Why should he be 80 dead set on becom- iz a Police Justics, who presnmavly bas io work harder than his collesgnes, and yet makes no moro money? ‘Lhero must cettainly ba some hidden in this, and the support he recoives from the gamblirs seems to indicate what it is, itissiocerely to be hoj that Mavor Colvin will resist this preasure which s brought to ‘bear upon him; that he will not vield to the demands of the gamblers, but preserve his own indepsrdence, and nomi- nate the man he thinks the fittest. et st THE CITY OFFICES- ? The Board of Public Works yesterday awarded the contract for the conetraction of sidewalks in aod around Weshinzton Squars to ihe Portland Cement Company at a prics of §1.78 per equare sard. ) 4 Theitem vow going the rounds of the press about the pressntstion of a waich to Tom Brsn- nan by 2 few of his bachelorhood-admiring lady friends is really too bad. Tom's blushing face removes all necessity for sunshine in the City Treasurer’s office. Two peldlers hinted to the Mayor's 8acratary that spring was pear by stealing Cleveland's “chapean” which e has so Jong boasted of as to its antiquity. - They left in its place & worm- esten hat of a similar make. Klokke was called ou and succeeded in the course of the aftornson in building & hat for the unfortanate’s amole crown. The Board of Public Works yesterday opened bids for the filling of certain streets throushout the city, 28 a means of prolection to esposed sewers. W. F. Hiflredlth was uniforaiy the 1 lowert bidder, and to bim the contract will un- doubtedly be awarded. The prices averaged 33 centa per Tho Board of Public Works resterday opened bids for sweeping, spriokling, and cleaniue tne river tunnels during the Lresent year. Thers weeinall twent:-four bids, varying fiom $514 i to @835 for the Washington street tunnel, £560 to 300 for the LaSallo street tunuel, and 8720 to 81,635 for both runpels incluvive. John .| Mahony was the lowest bidder for each of the fwo tunnels eeperaiely, and Petor Grady for both taken together.

It was hoped thas he wonld not sign it until the Couocil bad had a chauce to repeal the ordiuanco if they saw fit, but His Honcr was of the opinion that his sigua~ ture aid not stand in the way of a1epeal. Ar, Behm stood the champagne ou it, however, and the contract may be regarded as scaled. Tbe Hesing party, having beld Jittle sociables mthe Grand Pacific Hotel about tho General Iucorporation acts, it yesterday devolvea upon the Rehm faction to [ollow-gnit, and they further saw fit to draw. the. inspmation of the meeting from the same kind of "charfipsgne bottles, aud in the same 10om which-was selected by the Hesing party.

THE PUBLIO LIBRARY. = The regular meeting of the Pablie Library Board was held at their rooms yesterday after- noow, President Hoyne in the chair, und presant. Tnspectors Queal, Bhorey, Mason, Rosenthal, Raster, and Anthony. In accordance with a resolution of the Board of Diregtors directing the Committee to presaut the financial eondition of the Library, Inapector Raster, Chairman of ilhe Finance Committee, submitted the following interesting roport : During the theoa years of jts existence the appropri- ations for the Library by the Common Council have !Egr-phd $3 103 $34,531.40 In 1872, $19,9)1.68 in 13.3, and $95," in 1874, But the actual cash funds credited to 1] on account of taxes col- Library Iocted have run far Lehind thess approprintions.

Up to the same date the actual expen-litures wero $39.474.64, znd the amount of vouchers issucd but not paid, §4,174.21, Lelog a total of £13,873.%5, and abowing ‘s deficieacy $1,618.38 a5 aguiust the cash funds.

The Committee ou County Relations of the County Board were in sosaion yesterday lookiog into tho cost of disting prisoners a; the House of Correction. ) Buperintendent Foltoa was presont, and gave a. statement in regard to the expense of disting aud clothing the county prisoners under bis care. ~The amount - received by | Mr. Felton~ at present is 40 centa per diem for each pensiouer. This sum tha County Commissioners regard 28 excessive, and think 1t onght to be reduced.

Commussioner Lonergan sugmested that 35 cents for dieting be ailowed in the futars for this purpose.’ -AMr. Felton objected, and at oncs rejected the offer.
