Betweon midnight and_moran Friday vight the Sophomores went through with the farce known among colleginus ae ** Burying Loomis,” who is avnnally copsigned to the grave for tne heinous ofisnse of haviug built matbematical text-books. Last fall there was a grand rush between the Fresbmen and Sophumores during the performance of tlis absard rite, and the excitement of the event lasted for the rest of the term. But the buwial Friday Dnizht must bo considered a fiasco,—a stale, flat, and unpiofitablo busincss. The reason lav partly in tbe fact thay Loomis was finished witn in the class-room Fiiday week, and on that bight the Freshmen were swaiting the funeral procession, Ppreparea for a rumpus and row and roll on the greensward. It rained. however, aud the mourn- era nont not forth to bury, and bowl, and weep. The next Mouday night was favorasle, and the Treshmen were again ready ; bat no Sophomores appesred. ‘Then tho Fresumen took Looas and marched out and buried him with pomp, doing tio Bophomores’ work for them, since taey did not veniure forth to remonstrate or assist. This was 8o well done that it turned the laugh on the Sophomores, who would bave been wigo to brve let the matter diop tben and tuete. But they bad not made a noise, » big noise, and could not rest t:l they bad. Bo, regardless of the fact that there was an iovahid Indy in the College buildiug, and otber good and sufficient reasons for pebaving themselves like gentlemen instead of coyotes, they wade several hours of the night mentioned hudeous. There was nothing orizinal i the programme, which comprised & torchlight = procession, fife aod drum, marches, sn oration. college sougs very badiy perpetrated, filing & grave, saloon pies. and a roaring noe. The I'reshmen unly Isughed at the performance, having the sense ot to joun i & rush with those wno had taken ap with a second-hand part. ‘The anreaco of col- bsion made the ceremomes lackiug in the only excitement that ever at:aches to them, sod zave 10 cltance to wiu fame or anythiog but ridicule. THE MATRIMONIAL INSURANCE COMPANY. Several prominent capitalists of thia city have investod in 2u encerpr.so which not unly prom.ses to be immensely profitable, but also to supply & want long felt in social circles. This is * The Chicago Mammonial Insurance and Lovers' Guaranteo Company ;" cazial, $500,000. As might with facilicy be inferred from its name, the Compauy poposes to insure husbands for it customers on payment of an sunosl fee, or premium, proporijoned to the risk assumed. There are several classes at correspondiog rates, sccording as the insured wisties Ler husband at once, or in oue year, or two, five, ten, Or twenty years, Thers arealso variations i premiums, according to the sort of husband destred, or the clasa of woman desiting Lim.

THAT SULT. Although Mr. Charles E. Hibbard about a month sgo recovered & judgment for 853,800.42 againsc John H. Mueler, vet he is 8o obling that ho does not seek in tha least to enforce the collect.on of that pice Lttlo amount. On the contrary, bo yesterday allowed Maeller a year or 80 more &t lesst in which to turn around bofore o would be called on to pay. The judgmont Va8 recovered by defanlt, and fow dags ago, on motion by Mueller to have the judgment sst aside, dJudge Gary ordered that Hibbard shonid sgree to n trial Thuredsy, or that the judgment should be set aside on the defend- ant giving bond in the sum of £5,000 to pay any judgment that might thereafter be_made. Yes- terday Hibbard elocted to take & £5,000 bond in- stead of & €50,000 judgment, snd the case will therefore be placed on the docket, the judgment having been vacated, to take its regular turn, 8o that it will probably not be tried. How generous aod how unusual for amsn to give up a good thing when he had it. But it could not be that the plaintiff's case was too *‘thin" to bear inspection. THE PRUDENT FATHER'S STRATAGEM. The father of & beautitul, ricl, and accom- plished daughter on Wahpansch avenue bas lonz been tormented by a racking anxiety lest his tressure and prde should be stolen ‘from bim by a designing lover unworthy of her. He has accordingly devised an cffective plan for disconraging _sdmirers, and some nights last scoson, whon he gave laige dinner-perties, he Liaa scared olt 85 mauy a8 four soung men inside of Afty minates. When the lover comes into tbe lbrary, baving besought & pri- vato interview, the wiso old man main- tains a eolema silonce till he has murmured in- coherently, * Your daughter—devotion—hopec— uoworthinese.” Thon the old man suddenly leaps up and preeses tho youth to his bosom, cries ** 1 koow she'd hook Bome one yet—I told the old woman when Ceriutha first come out, ¢ Cerintha’s only 19 now, and mark my * ™ Niuateen 2" save the young man ; «T thought Miss Hobson was ouly 17 last March.” “Did [ esy 1927 eavs the old man, dramng his hand wearily across his forehead; “I meaut 13, Sov- enteen ? 5o she is; 80 sbeis; 17 on the 23d of March.

Now, run of and tell Cerintha,” and he pushes the dszed young man ouc of thedoor. And thar dazed young man goes off with his brain ina whirl, and, instead of flyiog to impart the glad tidings to Corintba, he thinks it over, aod resolves to eleep oa it. and takes his overcoat with an air of mental uneusiuess, and goes hon.e muttering: **Thinks he plavs me for a sucker, dges he?

He can't fool your uncle; bet your boots.” Meanwhile the old man smiles a erene smilo aond sets s trap for the next suitor. PO THE COUNTY CLERK.. COMPARISON OF THE EIPENSES OF THE OFFICE. To the titor of Ths Chicano Lrivune: Cixcaco, Nov. 6,—My attention has beeo call- ed toacommunication sent by Gen. Hermann Lieb, 88 County Clerk, to the Board of County Commissiouers, on the 25th October last, which was published in the Slaals-Zeifung, Times, and other papere, and, if the papers pub- lished the same correctly, it seems to me to be nvothing else but an argument of the General to show that under the preseat system—that is, where the county re- cetves the bepefit of all the fees, —aod under his ‘management the expenses of ruoning the Coun- ty Clerk’s office, in comparison with tbe costs under my sdministration, where the county, un- der the old law, paid for the work actus ly per- formed, the expeuses were reduced, according to s figures, the sum of §5,643.63. Now, 83 Gen. Lieb has thovght proper to present to the DBoard an of- ficial statement, by whioh he proves, according to his own figures, that the county saved during his first year's administration the sum of $5,- 613.63, and, at the same time, published the duf- feront items sud amount of Teceipts collecied brus respectively duting the same period ;of time, I consider it a duty { owe to the citizens of Cook County to correct the statement thus offi- cially made by Gen. Lieb, aud I beg 1o cail atten- tion to the fuct that, by careiul perusing of the items and figures published, that just thereverse istho case,—that 18 to Bay, that ins:esd of the county gaiing by the chauge of the system, as it was generally beiteved it wounld, 1t did actualiv cost Cook Couuty the sum of 1,943.33 more to pov the expenses of the Countv Clerk's odice than it did during my administration, according to tho General's own figures, which I will pres- ently show. ‘And permit me here to ssy thatI do not believe the General oxamined the figures carofuliy, as ho ‘published that statement during the excitement of an election where he desired to give his party a respectaole ehowing, and as he was not person- ally & candidate I refrained from suswering his statemewt puniicly, although I called nttention of such gentlemen as Judze Wallace, Charles H. Reed, Thomas A. Moran, H. M. Siger, and oth- ery, to the one-sidea statement. Yet, the caretnl reader must bave observed that immfbdi- ately afier reading of the genersl state- ment, the Co oard passed an ap- propriation of 000, besides the estimated receipts from fees of 220,000.—the total being the ¢mali sum of 375,000,—towards defraying the expenses of tho Coauty Clerk's ofice and County Court, and by the Goveral's own show- ing the total amount paid by the connty to me for all the work performed was $30,766.43,—a small, lituo dierence ! Now to the facts and figures. General Lieb says that the county paid me, a8 above stated, the sum of $39,766.45 for work actually done for the county. Under the old system, whete tae Cleris had the benefit of the fees and paid ke own expenses, 80d [ supposo, 2s [ have ot the official records to refer to, the amount 18 cortect, as the figures were undoubtedly furnished by that excelient and faithful officer, Willism Bye, Depty Treasurer. _ Now, nmong the items of reccipts tho General ciums | got was the amount of $7,591.96 for making_ the judgment record and precept for 1372. I supnoze I did receive that amount, but not from the county, altbongh tl:o money was peid to me by the Treasurer for the reason the money 18 oniy collected by the Trensurer for the benefit of the Clerk from the delinquent tax- payers. By reference to the revised statntes of 1874, poge 525, you will find that the fees of Couaty Cloiks of countios of the third claes (which means Cook Couoty) is for tax matters as fol- fows : For maing list of delinquent lands and lats for judgment, for each tract or lot, 3 cents ; tor enteriog judgment for each tract or lot, 1 cent ; for making Lista of delinguent lands or lots t:n precept and sale, for each tract or lot, 2 centa, Now, on comparing the items of receipta as furpished by the General himself and coliected by him, you will find no receints from that eource, although the judgment record for 1873 was a great deal larger than the one of the pre- vious year,and at the lowest estimate the amouot of £10,000 ougbt to have been received from that source ; and when you deduct the sum of $5,643.63 (which the General ciaims the county paid me more for the work done for the county that he drew from tbe rer) from " 87,591.96 it leaves $1,948.33, which the county actually paid more, by the General's own figures, thun was paid to his predecessor. Bat this is not sll. The Geooral saysIre- cerved from the South sod West Park Commis- sioners, for extending their respective taxes on the warrant for 1873, £4,031. I snppuee I did; the law allowed me a certain fee for doing cer- tain work. But is it not straoge that the Gen- eral forgot that the county is entied to the same foes a4 I received, to Wit: 1cent s lot or tract of land, for the ssme work? And, i did not forget it, why don't it appear iu his items of teceipts? On page 525 of the Revised Stztutes of 1874 sou will also find that the Clerk is eutitled, for extendiog other than State and connty Laxes, to 1cent for each tract or lot, and each pereonal tax, to be paid by the sudharity for whose beaefl tho same i8 extendod. Query: Does Cook Couni now, when enlitled to the fees, worlk for notning: In my estimate by the incrouse of lots which 3te annually added to the tax-list by new enbdivision, the amount of fees due from the South and West Parks and Lincoln P'ark Commissioners muet be at least 85.000. Again, the General says that I have re- ceived from feos, from probate mattera and special assessments, tho Bum of §2L502.- 41. I suppose 1 did, while he himselr onl; received from tho samo = source $9,764.81. While I admit that tno fees in probate matters have bean reduced about 25 per cent, it is my opinton that the natural in- croase of the business will nearly balanco that difforence, and the business in the probate de- partment of the office must have increased won- derfully, otherwise it would not require five clerks “to attond to it, while proviously two did all tho work quite satisfactorily. And aogain, the Goneral claims that I bave received from tavern snd peddier licenses, cerliied copies, efc., the round sum of $8.000. while he himaell collected only from the same items $3:9.42. I8 the difference between the two sums in the item, ete.? Of course, a8 I have not tho official records befors me. Icannot tell how much fees were received for making tax-certificates, for which the law allons 15 ceuts apioca (see page 525). I will only state that I made some 13,000 for the city at 1214] oents apiece, as Mr. Barley, the lato Comptroller, will certifv to, and, judging from the large list advertised, the smouut of fees from the ity and others must have been quite large from this source. But enough is shown to convioce the carefal reader that Gen. Lieb's ents a8 to how mauch the couaty saved under the rule of the People’s or Opposition varty fall to the ground, especially when tho Board 18 compelled to make an appropristion of $55,000 beeides estimated Teceipis of $20,000 to provide for the runping expenses of the County Clerk's ofiice and Coun- ty Court. Official figures aie Btubborn facts! Bot I do assert, based on an eight-vears'expe- rience, that the County Clerk’s office should bs self sustaining, and does not require one siniio cent, 88 the law now is, of an appropriation to sustain it, and the remedy is simply that the gentleman who has charge of the oflice shall not, inthe goodnuss of ius heart, permit um- self to be imposed upou by everybody who clsims that be has done great work for lus party, and has to be provided for at the expense of tue county. Then employ none but compe- tent clerks to fill the positions and have no more than there is actually needed for doing sl the work promptly. If the General tries that ave- tem for a few months I am sa:isted be will agree that I am right. Rospoctfully, Jos. PoLLus. P THE CITIZENS' BANK. A BECKIVER ASKED FOE. A bill wes filed yesterdsy in the Circuit Court by the Portsmouth Sevings Bank againat the Citizens’ Bank of Chicago and others asking for the appointment of a Receiver and an account. Tho complainant alleges that the Citizons' Bank, for some three years prior to Oct. 6, 1875, had been doing a general bankiog business. Ou the 17th of May Iast complamant gave it for collec- tion a achool-bond of ihe Town of Hinedale tor 81,000, due June 1, 1875. Thiy was collected with interest in July, but the defendants negiected to pay over the amount received uutil the 6th of October last, when a draft for $1.035.23 drawn on Opdyke & Co., of New York, was forwarded to complanant. ~This drafi was presented for payment and aishonored, aud sull remains mn- aid. ¥ s rurther allogod that ' the Citizens’ Bank suspouded payment on the 7th of October, bedg udterly insolveat, and owing some $3).000 (o depogitors and others.

A ToIsvNE reporter yesterday followed up the commencement made in Savurday’s 1esue rog: ing tho illegal appointment of Assistaot Grain Inspectors. Mr, George Armour, President of the Board of Trade, and aiso one of tho repre~ sentative men of the elevator and grain interests iu that he is the head of toe firm of Amour, Dola & Co., owners of elevstors A, B, acd C, was first visited, An assistant In 8] ector was recently as- signea to their Eievator B, on a commission ns Tird Assistant Tospector. with a salary fized at 75 per month. subject to an increusc of $25 extra in the event of his proving a carefal and _ apt Inspector. The - law clearly prescrjbes that all Third Assistaot Inspectora shall receive $100 per month, and jn~ asmuch as Le was made responsible to tne Iu- spector at Elevator A, the crookedness of the appomntment was made stll more apparent. ‘When Elevator B closed some time ago, the ap- prentice was trapsfeired from it 1o Elevator A, where be was made clerk at o eulary of 8100 per montp, $25 more than during his aporentice- ship, aod $50 more than is peid to receiving clerks according to law. Now, asthe man's ap- titude for learaing was not great, nor his oppos- tupity to learn of the best, as Elevators A and B do no business other than in corn, the ques- tion anses, What inducements were thers for the Chief Inspector to lower him in position and 1ncrense his salary, and what personal friend- ship prompted um 1o gee that the apptentice is mantamed in position in s!u'.a of more compe- teut and mare experienced Inspectors 7 As to the appointment of this individual, Mr. hog your attention for rmour said he supposed the Warohouss Com- ‘missioners had nothing at ali to do, nor bad thev anytbing whatever to’ do with the Iuspectors after their appointment, unless cases.of tzouble- some nature in_inepecting should ause, in which case the Inspectors might be conversed with. As to the appointment in question, Mr. Armour knew nothing, excopt that it had besn made by some one. He thought it no objection to 8 man that he had been thrifty, 2nd hadsaved Tuoney in some other occupation, rather should it redound to his credit, provided that he understood the business io which he was attendiog. Bot the mischief of no eystem was that during the Iast two or three years, tho State had had the appointment of To- spectors, and the appointments did not seem to have been always made with any reference cither to the ability of men to grade grain or their moral character, Tho facts were that some of the ap- intees were mere loafers before being taken 1nto the department, and were capable of being little better than bummers in that or any other capacity. TIRAM WHEELXE, algo & prominent representative of the grain in- torest was present during this conversation with Mr. Armour, and on being appealed to, re- marked that he supposed it wes pretty well underetood that the State Inspector's Depart- ment was being run as a mers political machine, and had beeo 80 from the beginning, with but little excaption. He tbonght 1t well that under such a eystem matters had been no worse than horetofore. But this he did not wish to be con- strued as an opinion that the grain-inspection could not be materially benefited by a radical change. PR — LOCAL LETTERSI MR. HOOLEY RESPONDS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bmermax House, Cmcado, Nov. 6.~—In your issno of Friday last appeared a letter over the signatara of one A. L. Rockwell, who assumes to speak as the ‘‘legal representative” of Thomas Maguire, making cerwain allegations therein in anewer, asthis *legal representative states, to cortain statements made io Trk Tris- UNE of the 4th inst. As I have already been befors the public in my ucfortunate connection with Mr. Msguire more than in agreeabls to ma, I shonld rest con- tented without any farther hearing of my owvn motion, wereit not that such statements as are made in Mr. Rockwell's letter are such absolnte falsehioods from beginniog to end that I deem it my duty to the public to deny each and every statement therein a8 false, and that each snd ail of soch statements are made without the lenst sbadow of fact upon which they could be based. Thestate- ments that appeared in your issue of Nov. 4 were substantially the same as appear in the pleadiogs, whizh aro sworn to by myeelf, in the case recently brought by Mr. J. H. Haverly against me in the Ciremt Court of Cook County, and all of such statements are fully corroborated by the affiaavits of numerous witnesses under oath and filed in the above case, As to my desira * to court favor and sympathy with the Chicago public,” I have smpiy to say that my public and private life since I came to this city is opcn to investigation, and I ask no favors of the public except that they read the evidence produced in my behalf in the case be- fore alluded to. As Mr. Rockwell has asaumed to make his starements from his ‘own intimate knowledge of the fremises,” I shall in due time give him an opportunity to substantiato those Etatements ‘before a court of justice. Respectfully yours, R. AL Hoorer. THE HESING TESTIMONIAL.

Now that the elec- tiou is over. und there iy apparently no immed:- ate necessity for further Iyiog on eitber eide, I hope that private citizens, entirely disconnacted {rom politics as a profession, may be permitted to attend to their own businessin a quiec and unobtrusive way, without the mortification of baviog their names 8o often paraded before tha public in & manner wholly foreign to their tastes and occupations.

The Committee on Hospital and Public Char- ities had a meeting yesterday. Contractor Willard was overhauled, and reminded that he would eiher have to do the work on the now hospital more rapidly or make room for some one else. He made fair promises, and the arch- itect was ordered to report to the Board Monday how well he kept them. Some of Wulard’s em- ploves were around during the day complaining thet they had not been paid, and, on the whole, Willard’s prospeots looked gloomy. THE COUBT-HOUSE PLANS. Architect Egan was before the Committee on Pablic Buildings and Public Service yeaterday aftornoon, to press the formal acceptance of his plans for the new Court-House. He explained the plans st length, and hia expisoations seemad entirely eatiefactory to the Committee. In regly to inquiries, he said his plans hod been pruc- tically indorsed by the city’s architect, but he understood that now he was draw- ing new ones. Ho (Egan) had made several alterations in his plans at the sug- gestion of Mr. Tilley, m order to jromoto & spicit of harmony, and if Tilloy was now making now clsns he did not considor that be was act- ing very conrteously.
