TIZ STPFRAGE LaW. Jadge Doolittle presented the following: WaEnEas, Witkin the last few years there have arisen questions ¢ ffeting the fundamental law of :?ubllnn goverun eat in which ull patriotic citizens, thout distinction e. party, are equally in! namely : The l2w of sufirags—in what manner and by whom the best good of tho State requires that right tobe exercised ; sad, Waznzas, A tnited expression of the Bar wonld re- celve respeciful consideration, and perhaps poiat out & more certain way to sectre this only sure basis for reputlican government, trus civll liberty ; therefore, esolved, That the Blanding Commities n Amend- meat of tis Law be requested 1o consider this subject, and to Teport to this Assoeiation at its nest meeting such proposed amendments to the Consiitution or Iaws as in their opinion 'be wise and proper. In lmn'nzil the adoption of the resolation, Judge Doolittls eaid the question of suffrage ‘went to the very foundstion of all laws in our country, relying as we do mpon the sovereign wiil éxpressed through the ballot-box ; and what- ever was necessary Lo protect it was absolutely essential to the public weifare. Thbat great de- fects exieted now all would admit, and, if the le- gel profession could not lead the way in suggest- iog & remedy, there was mome. Tha subject seemed to him to be & very important ono, and if the Committee, composed as it was of sble men, would bring the matter before the Bar Association with tha view of getting a united expression, it might result in inducing the law-- making power of the State, aud the people, to make sach reforms as would secure what muat be secared, or all was loat. The resolution was nnanimously adopted, and the Association adjourned. é St BACK-WINDOW STUDIES. A DOMESTIC SEETCIL The landecapo is always the same,—a narrow yard, with a plank walk down the centrs, a high board fence, and soveral litsle coops of yards on tho right hand, and a wall covered with scarles creeper on the left ; bus the creeper is not scar- let now. A stable and woodshed serve for back- ground for many of the varying scones I have observed. Early in the morning I hear exclama- uonsof “Iamytarn!® *“I'm goingto take mine over | * * Thers, now, you've missed it1” ete,, and I know the children are playing their matutioal ganie of croquet.

AL W. P. ———— THE COAL EXCHANGE. PA OF LABORES. The regular monthiy meuting of the Chisago Coal Exouange was held a¢ their roomsn Meiro- politau Bloox yesterday sfternoon, thirty mem- bera being present. In the absence of the President, Vics-Presi- dent W. E. Johnson occupied the chair. A QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY. Tho first order of business was ths reception of a report from the Arbitration Committes oo & resolution adopted by the Exchange at its last mesting in zeferonce to the ohgibility of D. AL | McGarry a8 a member of the Board of Directors, becanse the firm of which he was & member bad fotlod to pay a fineimposd, The regort was as ollows : The Committes of Arhitration beg leave fo report that, in view of theresalution passed by this Exchange at Gia last moeling, we find ihat & check for §140 was presented to the Treasurer for payiment, and payment was refused ; and that, according to the records of the Exchuuge, West, lcGarry & Co. are still liabla for their fine, and ihat in view of the resolution passoll by this Exchange, o the effect that any member who baa any unpaid fines against him ehonld nat bs eligi- ble to olfice, your Committce, therefore, Tevort that they consider Ar. McGarry not eligiblo to the office of s of the Board of Direciora, 2 This report led to some discussion, whep, on motion, Mr. McGarry was allowed five minutes for a personal exp anation. He said he was not guilty of the charge against himw, and had a re- oeipt in his pocket for $400f ths amount charged against him a8 unpaid. The Committes was prejudiced against him ; the action throughous was irregular, and ought to be declared void. Before taxing his seat be guse notics that hs should agpeal from the report of the Committee, whether adopted or not. MNr. Hatheway said the charges had been ven to the satiafaction of the committee. o hoped fo see the report adopted. After some farther discussion the report was adopted, witk but one dissenting voice. Mr. Law moved that an appropriation of $300 be made to test a coal-howsting macbine, which wes lost, aft:rseveral members had stated that they had machines. that coald be tested without ccst at any time. EMPLOYING LABOR. _ . The question of employing labof for the un- 16ading of vessels the coming season was then consideced at length. Seversl member. stated that they bad adver- tised for proposals, ana provosed to lot the un- lmd.mi:! their vessels to Lhe Jowest bidder. Mr. Law said tha Laborers’ Union was organ- ized and very strong, and determined to get £5 per day for “ wheslers,” and $7 for **shovelers,” the same as was charged last seasom, when he had 10 unload cosl at Milwaukee, on sccount of the r.hu&nm of Iabor thers, to fill Western ordere. He wonid ot pay more than $4 per any for lIsbor; others conld do what they pleased. © For dealers to pay mors was - an cfojustios o0 the city at laige, and would bave the efect tomake Milwaukes the receiving point for cosl consumed in Chi- cago. o After gome farther diacussion, en motion of Mr, Morley, it was resolved not to pay more than $3 per day for "x rs" or *‘shovelers" during tho summer £8F unloading vess On motion, the Exchange adjourned. feseiasi THE CUSTOM-HOUSE. THE SECRET INVESTIGATION of the Custom-House affairs mas still continned vesterday, the Committee being in seesion in the Superintendent's pnivate office most of Fha day. What they find to occupy their attention %0 long when the Castom-House itaelf has not yet been subjected to a critical examination, it is uselesa to surmise, and"probubly no_one has, or will bave, -reason to cars. They have wot yet taken mny measurements, to soe whether or not the reports concerning the structure are true; mot a survey has yet been wade to determine any of the levels, and tho “cracks” snd * patches™ have beon but super- ficially examined. The rainy weather, which haa prevailed ever since 'the Washingtonian experts arrived, has effectaally provented the paving of attention to these details which one wonid naturaily suppose wero the preliminaries of the investigation. It is, therefore, not likely that anything of very great import has ye: been done, nor i8 it probable that anything will be until the weather admits of a coraplete survey of the buildmg. If the skies brighten, thus will bo done this week, and probably before the week has ended the re- sult will be arrived at ana forwarded to the Bu- resu of Construction st Washington, whence Chicago may expect in time to Liear of it. The only thing that enlivened the Superin- tendent's office vesterdsy was the payment of emploves. They received the sum of §3,750, the smallest amount which bas been paid for a month's work' since the construction began. Durirg the summer the pay-rolls average 315,000 s month; during April, on acoonnt of the dis- chargo of many hands and s suspension of work, they declined to the figure mentioned. At thestone yard at the foot of Twelfth street yosterday, notbing was going on besides the Gaily routine of fabor. Hr. Oakshatt was in charge, but he believes that his swav will be but sbort. _Looking upon his appointment ag tew- porary, he will probably make no changes in his department. He has continued the employes under Coey, and for the {reaenl. su lonst, will lenve labor matters as he found them. e THE REUNION, EXROUTIVE COMMITTEE. A macting of the Exccutive Committes of the Reunion of Soldiers and Sailors was held yesterday at noon at the Recorder’s office; Col. H. Hulliard in the chair. After the reading of the minutes by Capt. Healy, the Sccretary, Gen. Cletlain stated that on the 12th inst. he would ba obliged to be present at the trial of a number of cases in the County Court in which he was inter- ested. Ha had tried to get the cases continued but had failed, and he did oot sce now how he could consistently assume the position of Chief Marshal. ‘Whe forty-five collectors had been at work, and he regretted to siate that while there was a disposition on the pate of the people to sabscribe, thers was rather an apathy on the part of-thoso sesking subacriptions. Ho sub- mutted the following lotter to the meeting : Gen. P. I, Sheridan, Chutrrian Exccutive Commit- itee, Soldiers® Reunion—Sim : 1 find thst my el Fotnia Lo the, Caok Gownty Courh on tho 120k sk sod for several dsys theraafter, will provent me from act- ing a5 Chief Maranal at the Soldiers’ Beunion on tha ‘Lith inst, . ‘Thauking your Commttes for the honor they coa- ferred on mo in selecting me for that pouition, xad re- gretting my inabulicy to crve as contempistol, I have tho hoznor 0 be raspacifully your ossdlent servant, A, L.

Gen. Sheridan, too, hed sent to Rocx Iuland for bunting aud two Napoleoa guns, and for thirty-seven tants, all of whicn wili be for- warded bere to the Coief Quartermsster. Ar- rangements bad been made to sscure the proper smount of evergreens from Michigan, and. tue peopls would all be invited 1o decorate . on their own aocomnt. The Commicttee couid not go any farther, or maze any artangements conceruiug arches, eto., until they lexined deunitely from the Fi- Dpagco Committes what amount of money was to ve placed at their disposal. Une twbiug which they were in doubt abount was the size of the camp-fites whicn were L0 be built on the lake shore. If they were to be of the ordivary size no great expense would attend toem, butif a big biaze was 1utended the material would cost some mouey. ' After an uninteresting discussion on minor topics, the meeting adjourned uutil Moudsy at noon. THE TWELFTH CAVALEY.

KELECTING DEPUTY ABSESSOBS. The West Town Board of Audit met last night a¢ Justico Morrison's office, on the southwest corper of Randolph aud Halsted, Supervisor Bater in the chair, and all the mombers present exoept Justice Sheridan. The room was packed and jammed with the “ byes * long before the moeting began, and members of the Board were tudustriously button-holed in behalf of the vari- oos little jobs it was desired to put throngh. The first business in order was the list of nom- inations for Depuiy Aesessors. On motion of Justice Bcully, the Board resolved itself intoa Committee of the Wholo on'the nominations, and retired 10to an adjoining room away from the crowd, Larry O'Brien; the ex-Collector, Assessor Ryan, and hia chief-clerk, Crowley, followed them in, and ex-Assessor Rafferty was afterwards called in. The subject was pretty thoroughly canvassed, and, on motiop of Justice Bcully, it was frally resolved that eight- een ~ deputies should be vymalified for the realty, and nine for the S:mm.lr.y. These with the three oppointed at the previous mest~ ing of the Board for the ofice work, made up thirty, sud as_the list banded in by the Asses- sor numbered_thirty-three, thres unfortanstes were dropped, Larry O'Brien and the Assessor caucuaing together to make the solection. The slate was further spoiled by a motion of Judge BScolly ‘that the different rationalities should be represented in the list of depnties, in order to secare efiiflen‘t;{ 1n the assessment. So many sections of the West Side were occupied by non-English-spoaking residents chat this was necessarv. Justice Morrison and others sup- ported tho motion, which was adopted unavi- mously. 1t wasthen detarmined to adjourn to Monday evening, in order to_give time to the Asgogsor to revise his nominations on that basis. Tne Committes then rose, and the Board re- gnrAned to the other room. communication was presented from ex- Town Clerk Ttzgerald, asiing $800 compensa- tion for his services. It set forth that the amount allowed by iaw was inadequate, and he therefors appesled to the generosity of the Board to giva him the sum he pamed as having beon aded 1n the tax warrant for that pur- R T 0! some bt Justice-Boully st -] them off by & motion, which was adopled, that all bills shonld be Iaid over until the regular semi-annusl meeting of the Board. On motion the Bosrd then adjourn- od until Monday evaning. ity SO YESTERDAY'S GALE, THREE LIVES LOST. A wmall fishing sloop waa observed ont in the -1ake abont S miles off trviog to make the shore ¢ the southern limits of the city. The aea was very heavy and rough owing to the gale pravail- ing at the time. A the liitls eraft neared the shore thyes firahermen were observed on board, doing their best to save the. little craft. A large crowd colleoted and watched the move- ments of the three imperilod men. Just when deliverance was almost within their grasp, the vessel was capsized by the breakers, and the ‘unfortunate flshermen found themselves in the water. Measares were immediately takea tosave them, bui before succor could resch them they bad gone down. The boat was a Nor- wegian fishing craft, sharp at both ends, snd abont 25 feet in length. The storm was too se- vero to allow a small vessel to get near the and consequently its name has thus far not been ascertained, nor have the bodies been recovered. It is belioved that it is one of the missing boats reported lost off St. Joseph, Mich., day bofore yesterdsy. There is hardly a doubt thot 1t was the Sca Gull, Capt. Frank Keyduck, as this vessel had three men on board, ‘whilo the olber missing boats had four each. The splendid steamer Chicago, of Goodrick's Line, daring the storm of yeaterdsy morning, while on her way from AMilwaukee to this city, broke her crank-pin, which completely stopped her machinery and _placed her st the mercy of the wild and roaring waves. Fortunately sho was' overtaken by the steamer Heath, Capt.
