The mo- tion apecially sot forth that an article in Tur TRInuye of & wesk or more aga connectivg Thir- nor indirectly with tha latoat burglurious attempt of Willinm ‘Wray had addod to tho genoral prejudice. Inthe argument of tho motion thu articlo in question was submitted to tho Court, who, after readiuy it, refused tho application on tha ground that it did not tend to prejudico tho public or in any wise interfore with tho defond- ant soeuring a fair aud impartial trisl. This being defoated, Mr., Hweit asked for n continuanoe until Monday ou tho ground that ‘I'urner'n brother, & jont detondaut, was abaent mvdwwunt of sickucss.

Stock on hand, ... Of theso itonis, the open acconnts wore worth face value, ns no bad debte had been fncludad in the inventory, and the bills recoivable were also thougbt to bo worth their face. The atock of tho Ameriean Iridgo Company and of the Industrinl Expositiun uwas worth about 50 per cent of ity face. The #tock on band had boen ostimated at what it would bring at n forced sale, and to any one buying the mall it might probabiy bo sold at rbout £2,000 above the valuation given, In dilion to the items in tho account, tho books showed a charge of $7,700 against Mr, John M. Ayer, being the zmount to whichus account had been overdrawn. This had not beon stated ameng the awsets, os 3Ir. Aver declared lineelf to ba without any property or means to make up tho amount.

In doing this ke bolieved hio would loso 5,000, sud if any pue thougkt he conld take the assets and do better ho would accapt the wame groposition. "I'io majority of (ho creditors were inclined to clodo with tho offor at onco, but a fuw held off, saying they wonld mather loso their ontire ac- counts than recoive 8o little. Dr, Asay, who was present as counsel for Mr. Ayor, won ovor moat of the dluatlectad, and all sigued the ugrecomont excapt two ur three. TI'wo suits, nggregating about $1,300, have already Lieen brought ugaiast the Company, but 1o trouble is expectad ou that acconnt, and tho compromise ‘arranged, 1t 18 thought, will ba ef- focted without trouble. ——— WISCONSIN LUMBERMEN, MEETING OF THE OHIPFEWA LOOOING INTEREST, A meotiug of lumbermon engaged in manutac- turing and logging ou the Chippewa River was held yosterduy at the Grand Ll'aciic.

What That Gentleman and Mr., Miller Think of the Action of the County Board, The action of tha County Board in bringing the building of tho now Court-louso to a crisia was & gonoeral toplo around town yosterday. Nently ovory peraon encountered by the rapdrt- ers of Tite Tunune hoartily tndoraad tho sction of tha Commimsioners, and hoped thst thoy had nucceeded fu foreing tho Common Council to act promutly and decisivoly in the mattor. Among othor prominont citizens who wero in- torviowed in the courso of tho day woro Mr. A, C. Hoslug aud Connty U'renauror Miller, Noither of thom was very communicatlve, and the sub- stanco of what thoy said can bo cmbodied in a few words. MR, nESING atated he hoartily coucurrod with the County Board in what they had done. Hin oplnion for aJong timo Lad Loen that tho Couuty Beard ought to butld tho entiro structuro, lssuing bonds for tho nocossary funds, and that the city should rent or purchaye tueir portion of tho building. Ilo bolhioved in making tho next generation shoutder tho indobtedness, as, 1 point of fact, it would bo of mouro bonofit to them than to tho existing citizona of Chicago, who had to bear tho burden of a great calamity, and had quito enongh to do in pasing debts that camo di- roctly upon thomselves, As for tho architect business, hin favored oither one or threa; but two ho thonght an sbeurdity, as they would bo foravor wrangling and pulling againet each other, Mo had no porsunal objection to Mr. Egan, aud thought that Lo was capsblo . of putting up A good, monsie Dl building, snch. a8 Chieago wantad. Ho thougtt 1t would bouefit the city matorially 1f work wero hegun fortliwith, and ho hoped the Council would seo the wiadom of henrty co-op- eration, Labor avd matena! would never bo choaper, and thoro was no rational ground for furtber vexatious delay.

Qoo good man would, ho thought, suf- fleo for the work, as it wna not Iikoly, in his opinion, that ** tha sole architeet " would quurrol with himself, This ** nationality ® mat- ter ho did not pay much heed to, butif thero were to bo threo architects, ko thouzht the laading *'eclements ' of the population vught to have oach o show, ‘Tho probability was, nowever, that the Council would coucur in tho activa of tho Couuty Board, which would bo n great welief to averybody who bind becoms tired of the eternal squabblo nbout the new Court- House, ATOUND THE COURTY DUILDING, The members of tha Conuty Bonrd who op- posod the actlen of tho Loard” Moudar in refer- ouco to hulding the new Lourt-Ilouro woro yea- terdny filled with nnxicty to know what had so suddonly revolutionszed cortain membecs on the architect yuestion. The snzioty was vory natural, becauso the action was entirely unexpected by all outsido of what in Kknown as tio Jomd ring, Jleretofora tho plany o the propused vuilding had beeu considered of far mozo importanco than the building iiself, nnd wheuevor the_question of buiding a Court~ Ilouse wan raised tho Lourd was found at war about the nrebitacts or the stono for tho stenct- ute. Bomo bad contended tor ono urcliitect, othors for two, and othors still for three, and opinion was aqually divided about the natiovnality of whoover was to Lo sclectad to such an oxtont as to for & time almost causo tho nban- donment of the iden of building & Court-Ilouso atall, With such a history, the action of the Board In so suddenly sgrecing upon ona archi- tect, and commoncing the work m a fow wooks, while 1t ploased, equally astonished tho puble, causing tho inquiry to bo malo by othors than momuers of the Uoard a1 to the reason.

The action of tho Doard, it id stated, was but tho FULFILLMENT OF A CONTRACT cntered Into soveral weols nga by patty meon, looking to the clection of Mr, eung to tho afice of County Tressurer. A pard of tho contraet tho letting of the county intiag to the Union and the Cowricr, which ia belug laithfully adhiered to on the purt of the Duard,§if the fro- quency of Board meotings sinco the letting i any criterion. l'ho lotting of the printlog to tho Union, 1t 18 enld, appeased cortain Germaus who could not othorwiso be reaciied, and tha letting to tho Courier securad for Mr. Hosing nn Lu- glish orian, if nothing else.

At a counci] of Heslng's frioudn held soveral weoks ago, after carofuily surveying tho futuroe, it was determined that it wae necousary to leave nothwg undone tonp- pease and win the Irish vote It Mr. Hesing hoped for anything &t their hands. At tho council this question of Court-Ifouss urchitect way divcussod and tho election aof Fgan was agreod upon, on tho theory that Karls aud o fow otber Gornfans might botter Lo nacrificod thau lose su opportuuity to gnin a fuither foothold with tuo liish. 1t is undors stood that the rensongng which brought the con- clusion was aftor this mtyle: Eagun, as archi. tact, would have under his control a very large foice of men, and, slready popular with his countrymou, his influence at tho hoad of such s work iould bo very materially incrensod, I'huu the couucil reasoned aud worked, and the result in seen, When the mon aroe taken into account who ad- vancod and wrought the revotutiounry ideas in tho County Board, tho iuformation set forth above ia given un additional hikelihoud.
