THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: ‘SUNDAY, AUGUST 29, 1875.—SIXTEEN PAGES, many 1nootrect statements have been made, I deem it proper to correct some of them. On the'19th of May last, Mrs, Lincols, being in court, was dsclared ** inssne, and a fit subject for treatment in a State Hospital for the In- sane.” The warrant for commitment was af the request of her friends, directed to the un- dersigned, commanding him forthwith to ar- rest and convoy her to Bellevao Place, Batavis, o It has been publicly stated that I have ‘‘cer- tified” to the recovery, or mentsl soundness, of Mrs. Lincolo. This is not true. Sheiscer- tainly moch improved. both mentally and phymeally ; but I have not at any time regarded her as & person of sound mind. Iheard all the testimony ac the trial, May 19, and saw o reason then to doubt the correcinees of tho verdict of the jary. I believe her to be now insane. The question of Mrs. Lincolu's removal from this place, notwithstanding her mental impair- ment, has received careful coneideration from ber conservator, Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, and my- self. The propoeition haviog having beon made that shie shoald go and live with hor sister, Sira. Edwards, in Springfield, I atoncs said that if she would do this 1n good {sith, and thus secure & quiet home for Lerself, I shonld favor it, ** ua- less ber condition ahould change for the worse.” This was written to Mr. Robert T. Lincoln in a letter addreseed to him on the 9th inst. And this isall there is of the “‘curtificate™ eald to baveybeen civen by me of the * recovery” or * meptal soundness” of Mra. Lincoln. In ac- cordancs with the above couditional sanction of the proposition for removal, 1 Lave occasion to know that Robert T. Lincoln made efforts to rfect arrapgements for the transfer of Mra. incoln to Springfield. o It 18 well known that there are cortain ingane porsons who necd what in medico-legal seience 18 termod interdiction, which dues no’ necessari- Iv imply restraint. If tima should show that Mrs. Lincolo nesds only the former, without the Iatter, all will rejoico to see_any possible en- largement of hies privileges. ‘And now, althongh the conditions upon which, 08 the 9th inst. I favored her romoval, have begn modined by the presence of a greater gres of mental perturpation than at that time existed, I am still unsilling to throw any obstacle in the wav of giving her an_opportunity to have a homs with her sister. But 1am willing to record the opin- ion that such is the character of ber malady she will not be content to do this, and that the expenmont, 1f made, will resalt only in giving the coveted opportunity to make extended ram- bles, to renew the indulzenco of her purchasing mania, and other morbid mental mamfestations. In regard to the treatment of Mrs. Lincoln while ander my care, it bas been stated that she has been ** kept in close confivement,” *‘virtu- ally imprisoned bobind grates end bars.” * lock- ed by ber jailer 2s a prisoner,” * incarcerated,” etc., ete. Theae and other like harsh terms are not used in tho interest of truth. They aro unjust, and do mo credit_to those who apply them to the case of Mrs. Lin- coln. She need not remam in doors unless by har own choice more thau two or three waking hoursof anydey. Acammiage is always atber com- mand. She may nde or walk when and where she pleases, on condition that she sball reture at proper hours, a2d be accompanied by some suit- sble person or persons. Bhe receives calfs from Jadies of her acquaintance in Datavia, and may return them. Sue has Leen called upon by Gen. Faroswo:th, of St. Charles, and by some of her relatives in Springfield. She has had, until the 16ch inst., private unrestricted personal intercourse with Judge Bradwell, who. in & threatening and insuliing leiter to me, calls himself “ her legal adviser and friend.” The wifoof Judze Bradwell, ntit the date above named,, has been permitted "~ THE CITY.

There had been received of bituminoss coal this year 102,030 tons; last year, 144317; Jeaving a deficiency.this year of 42,000 tons. The firm of F. Bchroeder & Son was, nn mo- tion, admitied to membership, and C. S. Hale ‘was reinstated s a member, r. C. H.

As to **guarded windows,” [ havs only to say thoy are mado as unobjectionable na it js possi- bleto make them. A light oinamantal screea was st first placed before Mrs. Lincolo’s win- dows. These wers subsequently removed. Pot when it is rexiembered that the same evening on which Mrs. Lincoln was do- clared insane she sttempted suicide, all nght-minded persons will apree that guarded wiodows were among the proper precsutions against accident. As to ““barred doors,” thera are none af Belle- vue Place. Xlrs. Linooln’s doors leading to the outer world are never locied dunng the dav time. The outer door onlyis locked at bed- time at mght by her private attendaut. and the key retaincd by the attendsat, who slseps in an adjoiomg room communicating with that of s, Lincoin. This, to my mind, ia the proper tning to do. Mrs. Lincoln bas beon placed where sha is ‘under the forms of law, and, if any have a griev- auce, the law 18 open to them. This sad case bas commanded the constant endoavors of thoso wbo have the care of her unselfisbly to do tha = a tions bo au;ylied at Dot cost. On motioo, a | best for alre. Lincoln. ¢ R. J.

A motley arowd of aboat 100 disappointed office-seekers, Communists, loafers, intormingled with a few honest workingmen who merely came o see the fan, held anodher fire limits meeting Iaat evening at Lochaer's Hall, No. 460 Milwau- kee avenue. This meeting was gotten up by the same parties who engineeied the one at Ogden's Grove two weeks ngo. The objoct of these meetings is 1esa to work for & contraction of the fire limits, for ‘nearly all those attending the meetings do not cars whother ths city is bailt of wood cr. brick, havieg never paid a cent of taxes 1 their life, but to bring a somi-Communistic organization styled the Guard of the Kepublic into promiuence, and help its leaders into office. It soems that the botter class of workiogmen havo already becoma aware of this fact, and for this reason the meot~ ing laat evening was but pooriy attended. and the next ons will undoubtedly fare worse. The fire- Jimuts question Lias been chosen by these hungry liticians because they thought 1t most calou- Fouim to enthuse the workingmen. They, how: evar, do not enthase worth a cent, Most of them have ccme to the conclueion that it is as cheap to vuild of brick as wood, and those who Lave 1ot are too wide awake not to sec through thie flimsy pretenses of this clamorous body of office~seekery, and will bave nothing to do with them. The meeting was called to order by Mr. John W. Hoffmsu, who stated tbat THE OBJECT OF THE MEETING ‘was o protest against the present extended fire- limits. They had a similar meeting on the North Side, s conple of weeks previoms, and resolutions were passed asting the Common Conncil to chauge the present fire-ordinauce. They had thought it best_to give the suffering workingmen of the West Side a chance to ex- Hoole, Golbarg, Rysn, and Hatheway, wss ap- rointed to determine how much cual ehall be Gemanded from each dealcr. and &t what price. ‘I'be meeting then edjourned.

GENRGE. _The inquest on the body of Mrs. George, who disd from the effects of a wound inflicted by -Mra. Backsteder Friday night, was held at the Armory yesterday afternoon. The first witness ‘was the accused (dre. Sacksteder) herself, nho anado substantially the esme starement as was publizhed in yesterday's TistNE.” Dr. Hooper, ¥ho was next examined, stated that deceased died from the effects of a out in the juguiar vein, evidently caused by a penknife, aud that about & gallen of biood was found in her chest. George B. Backsteder, husband of the mur- deress, tostified 88 to the quarrel which occurred between his wife and deceased. He tried to pacify them but without effect, and he knew nothing more uutil he was arrrestod and was toid that Mra. George was dead. The jury then retired, and after an absence of ten_minates delivered the following verdict : *“We find tbat Elizabath George came to her death by a wonnd inflicted bya kuifs in the hands of Mary Sackstedor. We therefore rec- ommend that Mary Backateder bs committed to tue Graod Jury.” The busband of sccused was discharged.

Advantages of the Site Selected by Them, The Chicago Rifle Club took the field yester- day. They attacked, with great enthusiasm, the lnke shore division of the Bouth Park, and piayed to & nicety the cloud-compelling Jove. At noon tlie warciors took the Hyde Park accom- modsation-train to South Park station. Ali were fuily armed and equipped. The following braves responded to the oall of gunpowder and glory : Gea, Julms White, Judge Jameson, Col. Thomp- son, H. H. Handy, H. W. 8. Cleveland, Goorge Beuttenmailer, 8. B. Sexton, Judge Bradwell, C. Fuller, Joba Mur, Dr. Williams, John Enuus, S. 'W. Buroham, sad H. G. Howe. THE WEATHER. Tho sun was excaedingly hot and the wind was correspondingly high,—circumstances not at all caloulated to promoto accuracy of aim or stead- iness of nerve. The club men were armed in a miscellaneous manner, and regarded the whole alfair'as a prelminary meeting. Bome very good shootiog was done when the wind weny down, and, strange to B2y, most of the gentlemen did better at the 200 tuan at the 100 yard range. Nearly all of them were quite unmsed to rifle-shooting, and, al- though many of the bullets went outeide the rings and did pot count, comparatively few *‘ goose-cggs " were recorded. ME. H. W. 8. OLEVELAND acted as Captain, and gave very general satisfac- tion. He scored some_ bull’s-eyes himself, and, with an inferior ritle, held bhis own against the chamvions who catried the improved weapors. Blr. Cleveland’s choice hooter 18 now absent on the Miasissipoi, where his gun is having a high time among large and small game. THE GROUNDS SELECTED for the shootiug are very conveniently sitnated, and offer tair facilities for long-range and short- range praciice. In firing for shors range, the men hava to face the lake shore, which is pro- teoted 3{ o line of high ewbankments, admira- bly calculated to stop tho bullets in their mad career. DBy ehooting in the edge of the woods to the sonth, and firing in a wortherly di- rection, obliquely toward the lske, a raoge of 1,800 yards can be obtained. This is very ° satisfactory, = although most mombers cf the Club would prefer Gale- wood, only that £o railroad faciliti-s are tot nearly 8o gcod. Therefore, they must make the most of the grounds selected, which can be im-" proved at very little exponse. Targots must be constructed and a svstem of signals agreed upon. Also, a pit must be dog out and foitifi=d for the marker, aud, in faci, the example of Creedmoor ‘must be followed as closely as possible. THE TRIAL ‘UF YESTERDAY nced not be subjected to erticism. It, atall events. eviaced a fine spurit, and gave promise pf better things in the future. ~Some Very creditable ehots were made by Judge Bradweli, Gen, Whnito, S. B. Sexton, H. H. Handy, Joha Ennis, Dr. Wiliams, George Boutten- moler, H. W. B8 Clevelsnd, and otbers. With the wind more favorsble the acores would hive been far bester. Next time the gentlemen will. no doubt, eclipse the performance of yesterdsy. So far sa heard from, mo simple-mmnded cow or wandering Granger has been killed or wouaded, although 23 the afiernoon sdvanced the firing becams s regular fusillade.

What Correspondents Have to Say Con- cerning the Counly Treasar~ - ership, RIOTOUS DEMOCRACY. TBYING TO ORUANIZE [N TEE SEVENTEENTE. A meeting was held at No. 477 North Wells streot last evening to organize a branch of the Jeffersonian Club. The attendance was small, the non-voting element _prsdominating, but those present were true disciples of the origiual or contral Club, which has been charac~ terized by its noise, Gisagreements, and mob- biskr .: ipensities. James Ennis, who was sent from the central Club for that purpose, called the crowd to order, and stated the object of the meeting to be to organize for the campaign in opposition to “ Grantism, third-termism, and corruption.” He was subsequently called temporarily to the chair, which was & beer-kez in the rear of the room secreted behind a pool-table. Upon hie ..5ing the chair the greatest confo- sion, approximating a mob. ensued, in which,a half-dozen weraon tas floor at the same time, making motions, speeches, and oaths in English Ang Gertmtxn. ut of the confusion it waa indistinctly nuder~ atood that an effort had been on foot lz elect & 'I:rnaldent of the Clubin advance of its forma~ ion, Adolphus Schoeninger and Robert Loshey ware finally placed io nomination, which was the signal for ) - ANOTHYR BCENE, diszracefal to all concerned, and beyond de- seription. A voice was heard amid the din attacking Mr. Leahiey because he was an Irishman, which aroused big iro, and made him say some ugly things, and {o denuunce the whole movement in the Dbitterest torms. Finally the election was proceedsd with, the Chair adopting the novel plao of having the crovd march aroand the pool-table, and give their names to the Secretary as they passed. The plan worked well, and the ‘bors enjoyed it beattily, many of them succeeding in passing around several times. - . The rosult was finally anoounced as the elec- tion of Schoeninger, whereupon Mr. Leahoy de- clared in an excited manner that he nad been SWINDLED OUT OF AN ELECTION. Ho was joined in his remouvstranca by his Irish friends, who eaid the ward contained abott 400 Irish voters who might be needed at the polls thia fall, but who woald be wanting in the war on the Republican party if they were to be treated as they had been at that meeting. . Mr. Leahoy was finally appeased, however, and induced to sccept the position of Vico- President, with Jobn urkey to assist him. Dr. Bbippers and David Smith were after a manner elected Secretaries, and Mesers. Zimpel, Markey, Wheeler, Leshey, and Dorls, a committes to select & Ward Contral Committes for the club, to report at the next meetiog. The remaioder of the time of the meoting wae given to personal wrangles between the speakers and the chair, which at times thresten~ ed to lead to blows, and probably blood-letting. On the whale, 8 mora disgraceful, inbarmoni~ ous, unrepresentative body never sssembled in the Seventeenth Ward. Had all been dropk or insane, the meoting, fromthe President down, could not have possibly been more boisteroua or indecorons. ——— THE COUNTY TREASURERSHIP ‘WHY NOT AN AMERIUAN ? T's the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cumoano, Aug. 28.—In your issue of Pridsy there appears an article on this subject which containg some incorrect and, decidedly objeo- tionable atstements. 1t ssys tbe Republican party have been for some time endeavoring to find some promineat ana popular German who would accept the nomination, but as soon as they proposed it to such &n one he declined, and up to the present time no German of.any - note bas been discovered who would consent to run. The resnlt is the leading men among the Repub- thau thros hours, sod retired from the field jubilant in their ability to hit oven o swall a mark as a hay-stack. It in supposed that rifle-shooting will take placa of base-ball 25 a national amasement. No doubt “‘teams ™ will be ramased by the different profea- elous in thig city. 1f so, THE TRIBUNE réporier begs leave t0 TEOULLUEUY Limaalf to the nEFE- paper [raternity as a champion of thelr skill. He beat everytinng on record, having made five ‘‘goose egzs” in rapid succersion, snd with incredible accuracy. Modesty compels ths knlght of the pencil to refrain from invidions comparisons. His opinion of his own prowess bas reen 8o high that be haa no hesita- tion in betting that be would hit Mont Blanc at 100 yerds once out of every three shots. Now that the ball tas fairly opened, the public may expect somothing _ etirr- iog from the Chicago Rifie Club. Should there be suy sudden death from guasnot wounds over in Michigan, at any point faciog the South Park, let not the Michiganders blame the Ceicago riflemen for theresuit. Thoy ought that all neks may be avoided. It is rumared that a picked Chicago eight in- toud to challenge the heroes of Creedmoor and Dollymount betore auother year bas passed. WASHINGTON.
