CONGRESS STREET EXTENSION. Parsoant to a notice which had been circulated. @n entbusiastic meeting was held at the corner of Leavitt and Coner:e#s streets last ovening, forthe purvose of taking steps to secure the opening of West Congress atrest to Western avenue. After organizing, the following was ‘wnanimously adopted: Resolves, That the interests of the city at large, and of the West Side in particular, demand thst West Con- gzres strest bs opened to Western avenue, Col. L. H. Whitney, Capt. C. P. McKay, George J. Titus. A. P. Thoms, and B.C. Hayman were appowted a committee to wait on the Common Council. snd urge on chem the necessity of the improvement. : A petition, which bas already been signed bya large number of the property bolders, was aico sntrusted to the Committee for them to present to the Council, asking that steps be immediately taken to accomclish the above. zoade by Messrs.

It was also resolved thatthe Becretary furnish to THe Cyicaco TEIBUXE & copy of the resclutions for publication, after which the meeting adjourned. DR. STEWART. Thecase of the city sgsinst Or. Stewart, charged with violation of the health ordiosnce in not registering the deaths of three babies which died at No. 183 Twentv-first sireet, wi: heard before Justice Summerfield yesterday morning. ‘Mrs. L. Quackenbush testified that ahe took care of the babes which died. Dr. Stewart at- tended the obildren, and told her what to give them, but never made a prescription for them. Charlotte Beers swore that ehe bad secn four funerals going from No. 183 in ope month, and three im one week. Dr. Stewart attended the children, sbe understood. Mary McGraw testified that her child died at the house named. She thought it had been Kindly treated, and did not expect it to live when sbe took it there. When it died Dr. Stewart made out a certificate and gave it to her. G. W. Merrill. Secretary of the Board of Health, swore that of the four deaths, voly one had been reported, and that from the wrong number. 2 + The attorney for the defense said that their explanation was that the misteke was one of osisaion, and that it meant nothing. Tne Justice said that it did not appear that ‘Dr. Stewart bad meant to conceal anything, or dosoy harm. It sppeared that he had made out the certificates and given them fo the mothers of the children, He should accordingly fine re- spondent €10 on cach charge, and remit the ‘Ones on payment of costs. A CHICAGO FIONERE. Among the members of the National Pomo- Yogical Society that met in Convention in this city during the last week was Mr. 8,8. Graves, now of Geneva, N. ¥.. who lived ia Chicago when its bonndaries were somewhat limited, its bugs blocks of marble buildings never dreamed of, and its fire-record of no account. Mr. Gia es came here in 1535, and remained one year with his uncle, the late Cart, Huyunin, and re- members very distinctly the general apvearancs of the town as it then was, and relates many in- teresting incidents connected with the early settlers and the then email settle- ment. The trip from Auburn, N. Y., was made by stage, steamboat, and farm-wagon, the iatter vebicle being bis palace-car from Niles, Mich., to the end of his journey. At that time the *‘Sauganash Hotel,’ ted oo Market ”_ locas treet, pear Lake atreet, offered ‘‘ entertainment for man and beast,” and here it was that the farmer unlosded, after being out three davs from Nues. The Post-Office was kept in a general country etore on South Water etreet, near Lake, and was vo doubt a beavy institution, having a short time before gotten bovond the historical Doot-leg dimensions. Chicagoans of tbe Present day can perhaps form something cf an idea of the exteneiveness of the then embryo city from the folloning actual oo- currence: Young Graves snd a few other bors were one day on the float-bridgo that crossed tbe river at Randolph street, woen a traveles on borseback c approached tho bridge from the west, and inquired of the boys whether they could tal him where Coicago was. ‘Mr. Graves is uiill im the prima of life, and re- members come of his companions of eaily Chi- cago days, some of whom are among our promi- nent citizens, the worthy ex-County Treasurer, J. 8. Rumser, Esq., being among the number. Jar. Graves is stopping with a relative at No. 116 Egan avenue, and will isaye the city Monday or Je 4, sherman House—G. W. Divine i }. W.

The West Town Board met Inet evening at their rooms, No. 56 Halsted street, Supotvizor Baker in thechair. and Justices Scully, Sheridan, Salisbury, Morrison, Eberhardt, and Ingersoll, and Town-Clerk Lavio being present. After the minutes of the last meeting bad been read and approved, the following claims sgainst the towa wore allowed : Daniel Adame, clerk of election Ninth Ward, $7; C. McDonald, additional al- lowance for services 2s Deputy Collector rendered before the Collector received bis books, $50—bemg §20 less than was claimed; William Ramsey, fitting up roome of the Board and moving safe, $150; Cameron & Amberg, stationery, $252.54; W. O'Haiz, Moderator Ninth Ward election, £70. The bili of Timothy Haves for service (extra) 88 custodian at the Gan Works, $22, was first re- jected and then cnt down to $20, when Tim with- drew it, snd proclaimed then and there to the Board that he'd sue them. Thomas F. Gleason's bill for buegy hire as Dopnty Collector was tabled, when ho also noti- fied the Board to their faces that he'd sue them, and was advined to go ahead. About this juncture Thomas F. Gtassbrook in- terrapted to ask about hia bill for services as assistant and cashier in the Collector's office before Collector O’Brien bad received the books end given bis bond. ‘Lue bill was for 11-5 months’ service st $250 par month, The clerk bunted up the bill and it was rejected, ayes— Lavin, Salisbury, Sheridan, avd Blake—4; noea —Eberhardt, Ingersoll, Matson, Morrison, and Senily. Sustice Sheridan moved to reconsider the voto by which the bill waa rejected—carried, Messrs. Lavin, Sahsbury, Sheirdan, Scully, and Baker Voting in the affirmative. Jastics Ingersoll thon wanted to know what eervices could have been rendered oeiore the Coliector got the books and gave bis bond. Messrs. Glassford and Collector O'Brien farther etatedthat in order to expedite the work, it was doue at the County Clerk's olive while the Clerk was oat of the city, aud thore- fore couldn't take the Collector's bond. After some disoussion, on motion of Justice Sculir, Gtassbrook was allowed #5aday for forty-one days. Collector O'Brien's petition for extra allow. ance (in addin to the $1,500 allowed by Iaw) was theu called up. when Justice Scully stated thst at the last meeting the bill had been laid over until the decision of the Supericr Court in the Wabl case, which involved the question whether the Board bad power to make any extra allowance. After farther discussion, it being generally agreed that, though the minutes didn’t sho ¥ it, Justice Seu ly was correct in his statement. No action was taken on O'Brieu’s clain. Pending the dis- cussion, Justice Ingersoll Jnsigalioantiy remark- ed, that if Larry wanted ro press it now, he might force a ventilation of certain matters,— what they were a6 did not stato, But thereafter it was noted that “ Larry” didu’t insist on his ciims being passed upon, and Justice Ingersoll aM&pped in the middie of a sentence, sotto voce, that eounded like ** $6,0C0 or $7,000 to be ac- counted for.” Oa motioa of Justice Ingersoll, the matter of sppropniation for the year was takeu up, and the Cierk was directed to notify the County Board that the Town Board bad appropriated the $20,- 300 voted at the town meeting as followa : Col- ae $7,500 ; Assessor, $7,500; contingent, 5,000. A motion was then carried that when the Board adjourn it be to Tuceday evening uext, when the acle business should be that of signing the Clerk's record of bills. On motion of Jastice Scully, s resolution was adopted declaring tha: no orders for bills allowed, or to be allowed, should be issued until a list of all such bills hes been made out and furuiahed each membir of the Board. Ex-Clerk Fitegerald’s bill for bis arduous ser- vices as Tuwn Clerk was then taken up—3i2 days’ services at $1.50 por day. Pending its consideration, Justice Morrison offered the fol- lowing, which was carried unacimously : Reaovocd, That it is tho snso of this Board that the officers of this town whose compensation is fixed at a certain rate shall in no case receive s larger amonnt shan that prescribed by law, Bor shall esjd officlals re- czive pay fora greater number of days than those neo- ly devoted by them to the service of the town in tbe duties of their respective offices. Then the majority of the Board proceeded to eat their words by allowing Fitzgerald (whose sotire services 86 Town Clerk aid not exceed tuelve days, as stated by Justice Morrison), for 200 daya’ work, $800 in all. ‘The vote stood ss follows on Fitzgerald's bill: Yose—Eberhardt, Lavin, Matson, Salisbury.

The opinion was published in these columns at the time, and was communicated tothe Grand Jury. fHE CHICAGO TRIB ! have a right to do so. SUNDAY. ‘hat body decided that it was unadvigable to find indictments against che me.abers of the County Board, for the reason that thoy had fixed their per diem on tbe authority of Judgo Garr, who decided that they bad such s might. The Grand Jury, however, sekec Stato’e-Aitornoy Reed to communicate the contrary opinion of Judge Fa: well in tne matter to ihe Citizens’ As- socisticn, with the rec.mmendation that the As- sociation pray that the County Clerk be enjoined from drawing orders for the pay of the mom- b:rs of the County Board for a sam in excess of 22.50 rer day, which Judge Farwell decided they were antitled to under the statates. Yesterday Mh, REED PERFORMED HIS LORU-DEFERRED DUTY in tye matter by inditing the following lette OFFice oF SraTE’s ATTONNEY, Carcago, Sept, 1.— The Hon, rranklin MacVeath—Dear Sm: A late Grand Jury of this county investigated the question of the right of the County Commissioners to tix thelr own compensation, ete,, at $5 per day, Tho question was subn:itted to His Hovor, Judge Farwell, who was then pre iding in the Criminal Court, and he gave sn opinion that the Commussionere had no lawful right to fx their compensation, and that they aro only enti- tled to receive the per dismm fixed by the Legislature, viz., $2.50, Seo Herised Statutes, 1814, pago 517, See. 3. Judge Farwell sdvised against. any indictments. ‘The Grand Jury then roquestod that I communicate this matter to you as President of the Citizen's Arsocia- tion, The proper way to test this question is for come tax-payer to file a bill and pray for an injanction to tLe premises, if such « proceeding ia ttesired. Yours, Cuantes H. Resp, State's Attorney. MR. MACVEAGH'S INTENTIONS. fl Areportor waited upon Mr. MacVeagh during the afternoon to ascertain what action, if any, he wonld take in the matter. He said the ques- tin was jost such ag came under the rrovince of the Aseociation, and he wourd ba gind to lay it before the Executive Commi'tee of the Asuocia- tion, which wonld meet in a few days. TRE BOY JORN. The fact thst this action of the Grand Jury bas not been suffered to elamber, but that Tae Taisune bas continually referred to it, is one of the thinge which has specially grieved the soul of that long-suffering man of peace, the gentle Jobn MCoffrey, the dove of the Eiehteenth Ward. Grand Jnries may hint, and papers scold, but Joun the meek can stand it; but when they touch the breeches-pock.t of Jobn, then ho wincer. Last quarter McCaffrav, tho conl- contract man, drew from the County Treasury $385 for seventy-seven days’ hard mental fabor—the labor i which John excela— for which he charged @5 per diem. When that injunction is asked for and granted McCaffrey's braiu will bave to work for $2.50 per day, which is much leas than that brain is worth,—it being the one which saw that a did at.$3.99 per ton for coal was lower than one at $3.80, At the close of this quarter no salaries can be drawn, and John may be expected to neck like the little bird from whose beak some one has snatched tho form if was about to awallow. ————— THE EXPOSITICN. HOW IT LOOKED YESTERDAY. ‘The vast panorama down by the lake-shore is now in working order. The machioery is moatly in its place, extubitors have got their goods ar- ranged, and the show has fairly begun. Of its value ag an exhibition the public has already judged, and the crowds that fill the ouilding day sud night testify to its beiug worthy of patroo- age. Yesterday, as was to be expected, there #2e a larger number than usual in the building during the day and evening. At one timo in the afternoon locomotion in the main hall was se- riously clogged. As a consequence, Secretary Reynolds and hie fellow-ofiicials wore particular- ly good humored, and their faces frequontly melted into amiles a8 they reflected upon the handsome receipts at the door. THE DAY ITSELF was oxcecdingly propitious for sight-seeing, bo- ing 10 this respect in strong contras: with the day previous. {here was just enough sun to maintain a good hgbt inside the building, sud just enough breeze to render the atmo. phere 200] and refreshing. although a trifle too strong for promenading nponthe roof. Yet, notwith- standing this latter drawback, the elevator for bearing passengers to the look-out was con- stantly employed daring the day. If there were ang criticiam to be made upon the general appearance of the Exposition, it would be regarding THE GALLERIES atthe northend These for a long distanos are unoccupied, and, while not particularly notice- able from the ground floor to any oue in an cle- vated part of the building, they convey = sense of bareness, and, compared with the crowded state of the main floor, almost of desolation. ‘Lhe sound of the hammer and of the eaw is still beard, though Jess frequently than on the preceding days. There are a few exhibit- ora. who are either too careless, or too lazy, or too procrastinating, who, by their want of energy, act as a hin- drance to all their neighbors. Bat even these are getting into share, andima few more days the Eovsting touches will have been made, and the Exposition will stand complete. Looking from the centre of the west gallery down upon the busy throng below 18 an inter- esting occupation, and is indulged in by many people. The sceue presented to the eye is &o varied, bnilliant, snd changeable that one can never tire of it. There are the gatly-ornament- ed booths, with their sich and manv-colored con- tents, diepiaved so as best to ca'ch the eye and charm the wind. Gazing northward, one takes in at a glanco the pyramids of paper aud iron, the sbafts of grauite, the glirteuing steel of ma- chinery. Opposite is the Art-Hall, with its var- row door, through which the crowd uncessingly surges. To the south ara the paiacea of candy and magnificent furniture, jewel-oases, and rare devices in wood and porcolain, while, at the lowest end, one catches a glimpse of green, in- dicating the place of the conservatory. The never-ending, ever-changing throng,—who can describe it? PRECAUTIONARY. No sccident or mixhap of any kind in the building bas vet been re; d. An extra force of police are detailed daily to watch the en- trancee, and prevent suspicions-looking obarac- ter from obtaining admittance. Everything pos- sinle bas been done by the management for the comfort and security of guests to the Exposi- tion, that tne latter may bave no cause for dis- satisfaction. During the coming week a still larger atreodance from abroad is expected. C, H. Jenomgs. Superintendent of Police in the Exposition Bailding, hss his men thorongh- ly drilled for the work required of them. Any irregularities that may ocenr if reported to him will be promytiy inveatirated. His office is st the south end of the building. —.—. AN ALLEGED STEAL. PURSUING THE CICERO TRUSTEES.

The most of the time of the Criminal Court was occupied yesterday in the nearing of the ease of the people against Webb and Lyman. The defevdants were indicted eome time ago for conspiring to defraud one R. J. Percy in the sale of stock of the Chicago Courier Company. Percy alleged that he had bought of the defeudanta, a8 he supposed, a controlling interest in the Courier, apd that eubsequently, and efter taking pcaseasion, he found other cer- tificates of 8:ock on deposit as collateral security in tho Fourth Nationa) Bank, of which he knew nothivg at the time of the purchase. Upon these a'legations the indictment was found. ‘Fhe evidence in the case yesterday waa volum- inous, going to show that Mr. Percy, at the time of the purchaso, knewof the existence of out- side stock. A jury was waived in the case, and the facts were submitted to the Court, wo, after wearily listening to the arnay of testimony, decided that the defendants were not guilty of tho charge of consniracy to detraud, and said the case never should have gone to trial, and they ware discharged. Wha: adda interest to the case is the fact that the attorneys for the defendaute pro tose to have Mir. Percy arraigned to anawer porjary, which they clan he committed m swearing that ho knew nothing of the ontetanding stock at the time of his purchase of what he supposed a con- trolling interest in the paper. The mass of evi- deuce elicited yesterday was to the effect tbat he did know of the existence of euch outstanding atock, and, unless the same can be overcome, Mr. Percy bas trouble ahead. —— THE COUNTY BUILDING, Commissioners Clouzh and Guenther visited the Poor Farm yesterday to look after the public interests. The Committees on Public Buildings, Chari- ties, and Hospital, met yesterday and audited a aumber of bills. Themas Judge, one of the most affable and in- dustrious em ioyes of the Connty Treasaor’a office, is apnounced aga candidate for Clerk of the Superior Court. Johannes Schmidt, Rosina Schmidt, snd Gus- tavas Andereon were adjudged ineane yosterday by Judge Farwell, aud conveved to the County Insane Asylum. - ‘Tho matier of paying for the abstract books recently purchased 1s being discussed. Tho money must come from the General Fand, the condition of which is not encourasing. The mat- ter is in the hands of the Committee on Public Reooras, and there will be no undue haste in disposing of it. The sa'e of Hyde Park property for State and county taxes was ccmmenced yes.erday. The sale of city property for State and county taxes it ia expected will be reached Tuesday, cum- mencing 10 the Ongival Town of Chicago. The sale of “property im the original town for city ‘axes will be completed in a few dave. * ‘The contractor for the brick-work for the new Cotinty Hospital paid bis men yosterday, and the members of the B aid baving the su: ervi- siou of the work ia charge are hopeful that the troubles are at an end, and that the building will go oa, and be so far completed as to be occn- pied this fall, as was origioaliy intended. > The Committeo on Public Buildings and Pub- lic Service met yes arday -nd agreed 10 recom- menitothe County Bonrd to advertise for pro- ‘po als for pling for the fouudat on for the new Couri-House, The recommendation will be for two proposals, one for piling, and the o!her for oiling and the necessary masonry for the foun- dation. Inquiry was made yesterday at the office of the County Clerk in reference to Conasiable 3 .inburn, who s fewdays ago brought samt for ibel against the. Times. Tho inquiry was as to wuerher Saioburn was an authorized Constable, aud the responso was thst he was not. Mr. Swinburn is lixely to hear further from the mat- ter in a few days. ——s THE CITY-HALL. Ihe members of tho Police and Fire Depart- monte walked up to the Captain's goak yester- day, and went off smiling like Cheshire cats with plenty of cheese. I: touk $85,000 to go around. Fiijay evening Mayor Colvin cleaned up, donned his immense white beaver, and rode ip a Parmelee "bus to the train for Milwaukeo on social, political, business, pleasure thoughts in- vent. The bridge, streat-cleaning, ond street repair- ing employes were paid at Cicy-Hall yesterday, instead of st the Exposition Building, as here- xofore. Fora time the old rookery assumed its ancient liveliness. City Attorney Jamieson yesterday returned from his vacation, but finding the office so duil and no business at allon hand, he betook him- self to more lively haunts, and was not scen around the place all day. The bowstring in the Fire Department does notact with as much slacrity as does the one that is operated by Supt. Rehm. A whole week's work resulted in bat one decapitation—that of Ols O, Jonnson, charged with disovedisnce. ‘The Comptroller’s department yesterday filed for record in the Recorde:’s Office tax-deeds to about 100 pieces of property which have been forfeited to the city for non-payment of the waxes of 1871.

Unleos steps are soon taken to replace it, Benner will find himself in the midst of an enraged delegation trom the Nioth Ward. ‘The Board of Public Works yesterday ended a long controversy by awarding the coutract for tbe completion of the Fullerton avenus conduit to Fitzsimmons & Connell, whom they consider the lowest and most respunsible bidders, It is undezstood that work will be commenced imme- diately, and will be carried on thiough the win- ter 88 fast as practicable. From the apnearanco of some of the city side- ‘salks, it would seem as if nothing was ever done cowards repairing them. But appearances are false, for danng the month of Angust the Soard of Public Works laid, or caused to be iad, 23.558 feet of sidewaik inthe West Di- ‘vision, 11,940 feet in the South Division, and 1,414 feet in the North D.vision. Of this amount, 1,514 feet was of stone, and 800 feet of Portland cement. Supt. Bailey's department having been a suc- cess ever since it war organized, his corps of building inspectors have taken courage and are poing to petition the Common Council to give them an additional stipand for the use of their horses. Each of them says he is obliged to have some kind of convevauce to ao bis work, and as they 1eceive bat #1.000 per year they thivk thoy are entitled to at least $300 anooally for the beé of their horaes. To limit the nomber of violations it is alssiutely neces wary to travel over each district at least ouce a day, aod when tne distncts are as large 28 thoy now are, it iv impossine to travel them on foot.
