»n THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1875.—SIXTEEN PAGES. el A RAILROAD MUDDLE. Three Railroads and Twenty Men Tangled Up in a Lawsuit. The Chief Offenders Appear to Be the Chicago & Alton Road and Corydon Beckwith. Mr, Hudnutt Says that They Have Foully Dealf with the Railway Con- struction Company. Therefors Ho Demands of the United States Circuit Oourt a Beceiver. And Would Like a General Account- ing All Around. A pleasant-looking little manuscript of about eighty pagesof legal-cap was filed a few aaysagoin the United States Circuit Coutt by Joseph O. Hudputt sgainst the Cbicago & Alton Railroad Compavy, the Chicago & Iilinois River Railroad Compavny, the Chicago Railway OCcnstruc- tion Company, Georgo Straut, the Union Rolling-Mill Company, Corydon Beckwith, the Chicago, Pekin & Southwestern Railroad Cowpaay, F. W. Pack, C. L. Peck, J. H. Rice, R. . Whipple, George R. Clark, Alexander Mo- Donald, Benjamin Field, R. E. Goodell, Phebe Anu Norton (executrix), E. H. Talbott, J. C. Haines, E. F. Pulsifer, 3. D. Buochanan, O. P. Chass, P. C. Hanford, G. W. Getchell, B. R. DeYouog, . A. Frisbie, M. C. Evans, G. P Tarding, and H. L. Graham, askiog for s largo amounnt of relief. The complainantsets out that on the 25th day of Febraary, 1367, the Chicago & Illinois River CRsilread Company Woas ncor- porated, for the parease of constructing A BATLROAD FBOX CHICAGO TO STREATOR. The Cocupany, however, cot beginning at once tobuild the road, another corporation was or- ganized in 1873, called the Chicago Railnay Construction Compaay, for the ssme purpose. The caprtal of the Construction Compaoy was fised at 2200,000, of which complainant took £5,000, and it was paid np in full. An arrange- ment was then made with the Illinois River Compapy by which the Cousfruction Company was to build and equip the road at its own ex- peanee, and was to ?nve as comgensation all the stock of the rovd, amoantiog to 2,000,000, and boods, to be issued by the Illinois River Com- pany at the rate of $20,000 2 mile. The contract wus subeequently modiied £0 as to have the stock 81,000,000, and the Jength of the road onlv from Johiet to Streator, and under this modified cousract the road was constracted from Joilet to tue Masoun River, & distance of about 30 miles, aod accepted by the Iuinois River Company. ‘Lhe pice was fixed at 81,000,000, and the amount of the bonds at the same sum. to be terured by an incumbraoce on the road and 5,0 acres of coal lssd. % The Iikinois River Company stockholders NEVER PAID ANYTHING on their stock except 4 tominal. sum, 2and the scheme was to bave tbe Construction Company tase the stock, 1esue bonds, and do the work. Whea the 80 miles of road was accepted by the Illinois River Company, the complamant became, &s he charges. entitied to $20,000 in stock of the Railroad Compsns. that being Lis proportion according to bis share in ihe Coustivcion Company. 'This piece of road seemed to be ~ gquite valnable, 81t flmed terough excellent codl Jandx, and would hiave been advantigeous Jeasehold proper- ty either to the Chicaro & Alon Comgauy or to e Chicago, Rock Isiand & Pacitic Compsoy. In Octaber, 1874, Je=sup, Patou & Co., the nan~ cinl agents of th Chicago & Alton Roadm New York, ostezeivlv on their own account, but. a8 is «charged, eecretly for tne road, maje an offer to lease the 80 miles of road built by the Con- struction Company. 1u perpetaity, agreeing to gaarantee 700 bonds of the Lilinois River Compan ¢ 12 the hands of the Cons:ruction Compaay. and paya pro rata oo tbe amount of freights re- caived. They also represented tbat by such guerantee the bonds could be xold at nea.ly par, and tha: they coold and woull dispose of the oonds st 95 per cent. The Ilinois River Com- pany agrecd to soch lease, but afier walting ‘until Alarch lasr, the Chicago & Alton Road DECLINED TO KEEP THEIR CONTRACT, vnless it conld be mcdificd 8o as to cllow them ooly to gusrantes the cocpons of the bonds. Previously 10 this, bovever, Je:ssun, Faton & Co. sdvanced about $157,000 secared by bonds, #od euch bonds indor:ed by the office:s of the exscutive Committees of both tho lilinois River and Constraction Companies * only for form,” 88 was alleged. Abont this time the first installment of notes given to secure thn advances came due, and Jessup, Paton & Co. urged pavment, threaten- ing authe same time to sell the bonds given aa collateral security. They did this, as is claimea, at the instigation of tho Chicago & Alton Com- f“y in order to coerce the Construction and llinois River Compavies into making the lezze, end to avod gusraoleeing tbe bonds. The scheme was successfal, ana in April last the lesze was made oo the terms suggested by the Chicago & Alton Road, Short- iy efter this an arrangement was made by whica the first-mortgage boncs of the Iilinois River Road, including the 700 bonds in the bands of Jeesup, Paton & Co., were taken up sod the deed of tiust canceled and a new trust-deed made to George Straut, an officer or employe of the Chicago & Alton Company. The new bonds were to be for $1,000 each to the number of 1,000, the firet 7,000 secured by tne IXDOBSEMENT OF THE CHICAGG & ALTOX Road, and all secared in addition by a trust-deed n of the Illinois River Com- sany's property, but ooly the con- JomE wero secured by the Chicago & Alton Road, and the bonds accompanying were talled preferred boods. In the lease it wascov- tnanted that the 8 miles of road and the coal lands ware free and clear of all liens or claims of auy kind, while the fact was thatthe Illinois River Cam&:ny ooly had & contract for the ccal land, aod what the Union Mull Rolling Company bad a lien to a very large amount on the road for supplies furniebed, but1t is claimed that thisface ‘was made kpown to the Chicago & sAlton Com- any. The whole amount advanced by the last-named Company was $408,000, and this wzg used by the Construction Company in pay- went of debts incurred in the construction of tbe road, and it still owes a large additional amount for work sad suppliea. 5 ‘The 1linois River aud Construction Companies expected irom the sale of the 700 guaranteed or preferred bonds to TAY OFF ALL THEIR DEBTS, complete the road, and repay the advances of Jesup, Paton & Co., but they were surprised to £ind that the Chicago & Alton Road refused to give up the 700 bonds, but turned them aver to their egects, who sold 474 of them at 90 cents on a dollar, instead of 95, thus entailing a loss of €23,700. Worse than this, the Alton” Road has kept the remainder of the 700 bonds, on the Fruund that the road leased was not free from iens, l!‘hon&\l:thfl_\' had known when the leass was ‘made that the road was not in fsct fres from liens. About the 1st of Iday last the Conetraction Company, no: being able to get the proceeds of the bonds, becams embarrassed ~ to . meet the payment of the notes, and applied to the Alton Company for help, but the Istter refused to give aoy aud, onless the Construction Company would transfer 1o them all the movable property on band for the construction ot the Illinois Kiver Boad The Construction Company was OBLIGED TO YIELD, end an arrangement was made May 1, 1875, by which the Alton Compsny was to put the road in order, build a 2-mile bracnh, and was to be paid & proper compensation to be com- puted by the engineers of the two roads, which was afterwards ascertained to be £52,780.80, and were also to receiva at the price of §181,631.41, all the personal property of the Illinois River xpd Construction Companies. The Alton Road, however, utlerly failed to fnlfill this contract, but ran the stock off cn its own road, stopped all work, and took possession of aniused 280 tons of rails for_its own road, on the pretext that the Union Ralling Company had a lien on the zoad which bad not been paid. It is alleged that real reason & desire to reduca the value of the road and avoid the fulfillment of their contract. In May ANOTHER PROPOSITION was made thatifa majority of the stock snd bouds of tne Illivois River C choull be pleced in toust in ibh basds of Corydon Beckwith to secure 106 claim of the Union Rolling-Mills Compasy they would meet their contiact. The Constroc- tion Comypavy refased to agree to do this, but on the Alin Liad threateuing to immediately sue the oflicers on their notes, they succumbed, and agreed to the proposition. ‘Even ther, and thoogh the Alton Road gained :\;t cnnu‘nl)l ::( the Dlnois River Road, ey sl jused to complete road, acd sull anothe: .. £ o oontract — was .. made_ for the cancellation of the bonds and trust-deed of the Ilimois Road, and their issue of others. This arrangement was also agreed to. Corgdon Beckwith thon, being President of the Illinos River Company. to which position he had been elected some time previous, after the ORANGE IN THE DIRECTORS of tbat Company, and the transfer to him or to the Alton -Road of a large amount of stock, made a secret arrangement with the Chicago & Alton Road in Julr, 1875, by which that road should vot be required to complete the Illiuois River Road, Dor repair 1t, until the hien of tbe Union Rolling Mill Company ehonld first bave Leen satisfied. This act of Beckwith's it is charged was fraudu- lent and void, and in gross viclation of his Gu- ties as Trustes. Apother arrangemouvt Was then proposed for the Copstruction Company to surrender its rights to the Iilinois River Com- pany oo ceitain conditions, but it was mDever carried out. On the 20th of November, or a week ago yes- terday, the Il'inois River Compauy oaused mo- tices to be issned ealliny a meetiog of the Direo- ln;n 2nd stockholcers to discuss the advisability of ity GOIXG INTO BANKRUPTCY. £ The complainant allegea tbnt the Company is Dot a bankrupe and tbat it conld easily meo all its debts if it were free from the incubus of the Chicago & ton Company. In Augnust last the Commercial Loan Company filed a creditor's bill_against tho Con- struction Compsny and M. D. Buchanan, tbe President of the Loan Company aud a'so of tbe Coustruction Ccmpany, appeared in behalf of the latter and entered his consent to the ap- paintment of a Receiver, and Biadford Han- cock. Eng., was thereupon appointed Regeiver. This action also, it is claimed, is TTTERLY UNNECESSARY. s the Construction Company owns the right of way of the road from Mazou Ruver to Streator, and bas partially graded tna same. To compli- cate affairs, the Cbicago, Pekin & Southwestarn Railroad Company has a contract with tho Chi- cago & Alton Road for the use of the llinois River Rosd, and is to pay a !aige amount to tho Aku; Company, but noae to tbe Iilinois River Road. 1n conclusion, the complainant charges that the affairs of the Construction Company have heen shamefolly managed; that the agreement made by that Company under coercion of the Chicago & Alton Company, by which the contract of 1673 was yescinded and the latter road exoverated from its bability, was a fraud beyond the powers of the Com] and hence void ; that Beckwith has exceeded his power, and TRANSGRESSED HISDUTY} that the Chicazo & Alton Company has violated all its contracts for the purpose of depreciatiog the property and bonds of the Illinois River Road 80 a8 to gain posseseion of it ata low price; that it now owes the Illinois Company & sum equal to tho valae of the bonds, and an additional amount for rent, having, for no con- sideration given, gained possezsion of §1,000,000 of boods and personal property wortn $151,000 1 more ; and that the officers of the Coustruction Company, though often asked, Liave refsed to take any steps to preserve their richte, but have combined togsther apparently IN THE INTEREST OF BICKWITI and the Chicago & Alton Road. Complainant therefore asks that a Receiver may be appointed for the Iltinois River Road, and that an account- ing mav be hed of all the amounts the Altoa Iioad may have received ficm 1t either in money or from tne sale of bonds. Meesrs. Lawrence, Campbell & Lawreoce appear for the complain- ant. —_——— The Duko of Brunswick’s Property. My readers (eays the Paris correspondent of the Boston Advertiser) bave doubtlesy heard of the Duke of Brunawick, acd perbaps remember the noise which his eccentric will made through Europo a few years since. He left one only reo- ogpized chiid, the Countess Elizabeth Wilbel- mine of Bruoswick, of Biakecbonrg, aad of Col- mar, supposed to be the itsas of a morganatic marriage; but, at all events, being the one child brought up by ber father, with every prospect of inheriting a part atleast of bis large for- tune. It was under these circumstaucos that she married Comte de Civrs, and eizht child:en were born to them. They bad always relied upon ber father’s promise, and 0o lezal seltle- ment was made upon her; and when one fine dsy the eccentric oild geotlemaa refused to continge ber allowance she found her- self forced to go to lax or see ber children staive. The result of this lawsnit in France was his beiog obliged to pay 30,000 11socs a year (£6,000) for ber support. & drop In the ocean when compared to his roval tevenue; but the Duke of Brunswick was & testy old geutleman, and resoived to be revenged upon the law, and stopped at no expense which the transformetion of his property necessitated, in order to disinherit his daughter. Hedied be- lieving this object attained, as he left 20,000,000 francs (24,000,000) to_the Town of Geneva, and not one ceot to her. Up to tha present time tius will has been tespected ; but the eldest son of Com:e and Comtesse de Civrv, Ulric Guelfe ds Civry, has jast addressad an elognent protesta- tivn 1o tue City of Geneva, in which be vindi- cates the right of his family to the inheritance of one-fourth of the snm left by his grandfather. As no reply bas as yet been made to this cry for justice, it is impossible to predict what the republican City of Geneva will do. Avd as “‘po:gession is nine points of the law,"itis probabie that a lswauit will precede a_solution to the quesuon, ** To be, or not to be.” In the meantimo I know the claimant is backed by in- fluence and money. So his chances are g0od, eveu against a city. Did pot the Princess de Beauvean-Craon, after twenty years of lawsuits, gain her inheritance to the Chateau de St. Ouen, iven to her mother, the Countess du Cavls, by uis XVIIL, and that sgaiust the City of Paris with Baron Haussmann at its head? And yot the rights of the Princess de Craon were nothing like as clear as are those of Count Ulric Guelfe do Civry. ¥ : —_— Macaulay at Rome. Lord Macaulay, when & young man, was visit- ing Rorae, and oue night went to see the Coli- soum by moonhight. Whila alone under the dark arches, whee it is as black as night, a!l of a sudden a man in a large cloak broshed by bim rather rudely, as Macaulay thought, and passed into the anrkness. Macaulay's first impulse was to clap bis band to his watch-pocket ; and sure enougl he found that the watch was not there. He looked afler ths man, who he doubted not had stolen his watch a8 he brushed past bim, and, peeriog ioto the darkuess, could just dis- tingmisb the outlines of a figure movin away. Macanlay rushed after him, and, seizing bim by the collar, demanded his watch. Macaulavcould speak vory little Italian, and understood none when epoken, 80 he was obliged to limit his at- tack o the thief to a violent shasing of him by the collar, and an angry repetition of tho de- mand, “Orologio! Orologio!” (** Watch! Watch!") The man just sttacked poured forth a torreat of rapidly spoken words, of which Alacaulay understood not one syllable. But he again administered a severe shaking to his captive, stampig his foot angrily on the ground, and vociferatiog, *Orologiol _Orolo- io ! Whereupon the detected thief drew forth he watch and handed it to the captor. Macanlay, satisfied with his prowess in having thus recap- tured s property, and not caring for the iroubls of pursmng the maiter any further, turoed on his heel as he pocketed the watch, and saw pothing more of the man. But when he retorned to bis spartmeut at night bia landlady met him st the door. holding out some~ thing io her hand, snd eaying, * Ob, sir, you left your watch on the tatle, sol thought it better to take care of it. Hereitisn” Good gracious ! What is this, then ? What is the meaning of it ?" stammered Macaulay, drawing from pocket the wawh he had so gallantly recovered in the Coliseum. It was a watch ho had never seen before. The truth was plain—he had been the thier ! The poor man he had violently attacked and spostrophised in the darkness and solitudo of the Coliseum arches had been ternfied icto sur- rendering bis_own watch 1o the raflian who, 25 be conceived, bad pursued bim to rob him. The next morning Macaulay, not a little crestfallen, hastened to the office of thie questor with the wateh, aod told his story. , I see,” said the qaestor, **you bad better leave the watch.

Beneficial IZesults that Would Follow Lts Sale. Tmmediate Increase in the Value of All ths Neighboring Property. This 1s the Opiinion of Leading Real- . Estate Men and Merchants. Ald, Spalding States What the Bailroad Will Do, His Opinion as to the Wisdom of . Belling: the Property. Public feeling in favor of the proposed sale of the Lake-Front for depot purroses seems to be daily on the hmcrease. ‘‘The property as it now stands is worae than worthless, and there is no prospect that it will ever be used for sny- thine except by the railrozds in the manner sug- gested. There is m2 urgent need for s grand union depot, one that will accommodate the vast business that is ncr transacted with difficulty in the present limited guarters at the foot of Lake street. And the geoeral ‘opinion is that the space on the Lake-Front for which the railroads bave offered £80(4000 is exactly the locality for such.a depot. Why any properiy-owner in that vicinity oan object to the sale cannot be conjectared. The prico offered is certainly lib- eral, and more thau could be obtained from any otber purchasers. As to ‘the effect which the salo will have upon the adjacent property, there can be little doubt. Business men who are best posted in such matiers express but one opinion. In order toshow tho general seutiment of the best citizens on this subject, a TRIBUNE reporter visited yesterday soveral Tepresentative men, whose views are wourthy the attention of tliose Aldermen who oppose the project. MR, MARSHALL FIELD, bead of the house of Field, Leiter & Co., was first approached. 12e was found in tho whole- sale department of kis enormous cstablishment, deeply immersed in & sca of correspondence. To tke question as to his opinion on the pro- posed aale of tho Lake-Front, Mr, Field promptly responded tnat he favered it herruly, and hoped thalt the projecs wouid be carried out immedi- ately. Reporter—How do rou think the sale will affect the interests of the property-owners in the vicinity ? Mr. F.—Czo any cne soubt the result? The prices of property ou Mishigan avenue will rige, of_course. Mr. Field stated further tbat be did not own any land there, and was uot per=onally inter- ested either way in the measure. He regarded 1t. however, as one ir which the public at laige were concerned, snd ip which they bad a right to epeak. The sale of the vacant land on the Lake-Iront would bo & great public benefit, and go tar from ipjuring any adjacent property- owners, it would benedt them especially. MEB. HENRT W. KING was also stronglyin favor of thesale. Inanswer to an inquiry, be said that he hoped 1t would take place immediacely. The Cily Council ought o ratify the &ale at 1ts first meeting. Keporter—Will the sale work an 1ojury to tho property-owners oa Michigan avenue in the neighoorhood ? 7 Mir. King—Not at all. Ob the contrary, so well am I conyinced of the beuefit accrmng to them that I might almost ssy that they could afford to pay the railroad companies £800,000 for bur'diog the depot tnere. Reporter—What do you thiak of the property asitis? Uir. Eing—I don’t comsider ths land worth anything for any other purpose. 1t is not 1n the line of business, and cennot_be used as a loca- tion for buriness blocks. No oge would bo eo fooliah as to erect such buildings in tual place. Reporter—In regard to the depot ? ‘Mr. Kiog—I thiok it 18 s great mistake for people to oppose the depot project. The land offers s _patural gite for such a depot as is gro- posed. By proventing the eale the ecitv will drive the roads into building in some cbscure pa. t of town, uct easily acoeseiblé, and thus pro- ducing an endlcss amount of trouble ana useiess expense. ME. W. D. KERFOOT mav be qnotod as a reliable suthority on real- estate matters. The reporter cailei at his oftica ieslemly afternoon {o learn Lis opinion on the ake-Front question. Mr. Kerfoot was at first somewhat divinclived to be interviowed. He exd, howerer. that, baving seen a statement in | Tae TRIBUNZ to the effect that the railroads bad agreed oot to ask any riparian rights fiom the city io case the Jand was sold to them, he was now earuestly in favar of the sale. Reporter—What effect will the carrying out of the project have upon property in the vicinity ? AMr. K.—It will have this effect if nothing elee, it will establish a value for the property on the other side of Michigan avenne. Reporter—How ? Mr. K.—Property in that neighborhood at present has no macket price. It is not wauted vy anybody. _The establishment of a uaion depot on the Lake-Froot would set things going in that vicinity, would create a demand for building lots, and therewounld be a stated price— and a high price at that—where now there is ab- solutely vo fixed valge. Repo:ter—Do you regard the sale 23 beneficial to the puotic? . Mr. K.—Certalnly. Look at the immense advavtago which would accrue to the city in the way of enhanced credit alone. The sum realized from the sale, properly applied, would reduce the city’s debt nearly a'million dollars at a single blow. Tho effects of such a reduction wonld be to rase very decidedly the reputation of tho city abroad. 1 TRIBUNE reporter also called on ALD. SPALDING at his residence last evening, for the purpose of getting Ius views oo the subject. Rbishe di in the following conversation : i Reporter—What do yon know, Mr. Bpaiding, about the much-talked-of sals by the city of the Lake-Front property to the Illinois Central kailroad ? 8.—The Illinois Central ia ready and willing to buy the three blocks bounded on the sonth by Monroe, on the north by Randolph, on the east by the west line of the Iilinois Central Railroad night-of-way, and on the west by the east line of Michigan avenue. < R.—Ip what manner do they propose buying the land ? 8.—By metes and bounds bounded ss I have stated. R.—Have you spy autbority for making the aseertion that it is the Company’s intention to uy 8.—Yes ; I have understood from Mr. Doug- las, President of the Company, that it is ready and wiiling to make tho parchase. R—.How much does the Company propose to pay for the property ? 8.—Eight hundred thousand dollars. R.—How will this sum be paid ? 8.—One'third in cash, and the balance in three, six, nine, and twelve months, so that the ciey will realize the whole sum within a year, R.—Does any other company enter into the movement ? 8.—No; not that I know of, R.—In case the Company should buy the property, would it bwild a depot, or otherwise improve the land ? 5.—I noderstand a depot will be buult as soon s the salo 18 consummated. R.—Do you know auything further abont this depot ? : 5.—Nothiog, except that it will b asfine s depot a3 auy this side of Now York, aod, in fact, 88 fine as apy io that or any other city. R.—Have you any ides of its cost ? B.—Tbe amount to be expended 1n its orection will be equal to the sum paid for the property, and perhaps more. R.—~What is the general the FELLING, 430XG PROPERTI-OWNERS oo the other side of the stiest as to the cil - iog the Lake-Front ? vl S.—Neariy all of tksm bave given their consent £o the sala. R.—Can you give me the names of & few of the most promineot amoog these property-own- ers who bave thus eiguitied their assent. 5.—Yes. Among them are George Armour, Chauncey T. Bowen, Sol A. Smith, C. H. Ale- Cormick, C. H. .Starkweather, C. H. Beckwith, and others, 2 R.—How about Mattbew Laflin ? S.—1I am informed that he is zlso in favor of the salo. R.—Do yon think it is desirabloe for the city to disposs of the property ? N S.—Yes, and for several reasons. Ia the first placs, the city needs money. Again, the im- provements to be made by the Compavy are much needed, aod will establiat the character of the improvements 1o that section, which would enable the people on the other mde of the street signed a paper, ‘| t0 know what kind of improvements to make on" their own property. Thirdly, with there im- Pprovements comes an increase in revenue to the Citv in the way ‘of taxation; and, lastly, the money which wonld be disbursed among the laboring classes in the erection of the depot and in th introduction of these improvements would be another bensfit to the general public. R.—What would be the effect on the valus of other ?ropeny in the vicinity ? 5.—1I think it would increass the value of property, not only on Michigan avenue and Wabash avenue, but through State strest be- tween Monros and Lake streets. The value of all property in that location, and especially on Michiflgm avenue, I think, would be materially benefited . R.—I understand that Mr. Hoyno and a fow other gentlemen are oppoaed to the sale. B.—Yes, I understand that, too, but I don't coneider that there is muck merit in tbeir ob- jections, Peopie who are equally interested in Pproperty in that immediate peighborhood, and some of them more interested tban Mr. Hoyne, are in favor of sale and see no good reason {or his opposin, R.—Wonld this sale, as has been assured by many, carry with it any 8 RIPARIAN RIGHTS ? z. 0, I don't understand that it will. \What do the officers of the Company eay aboat this ? ¢ 8.—They don't care anything sbout riparian rights, but are parfectly willing to buv the prop- erty by the metes and bounds I have mentioned. I.—If the eale is made, Will it be neceesary to dissolve the present injunction, prevanting the city from selling ? 8.—Well, I suppose it will. Some say the in- Jjunction is still in force, while others maintdin that it is not. DEARBORN TARK. . R.—How about Dearbora Parlk, Mr. Spalding ? It has been proposed ta eell that, What do you think of the project ? 8.—I am in favor of its eale. The place has entirely changed from residence to business property, and [ think 1t would be the best thing the city could do to sell it. I have noidea what could be realized from the sale, but I think it is a chauce to replenish our treasury, of which the city should take advantage. And with this the interview terminated. WAI.T[‘—ER SAVAGE LANDOR. (Some of Iis Freaks. Galazy Yor December, Lato in 1808 Landor, in a sudden freak, went to Spain to fight against the French. Landiug at Corunua, he gave 10.000 reals to the inhabit~ ants of a town which had been burned, and pro- poted to equip and pay a thousaud voluateers, with whom he would go on foot, and fight with them ** under the commaud of any brave Span- iard who had taken :{P arms in defense of reli- gion and liberty.” He returned to Eugland in a few weeks, without seeing service in the field.

One of them had threatened some mischief; Landor posted & bandbill accusiug him of meditating a felony, was prosecuted for Jibel, and cast in damages. He was not on good terms witn bis neighbors. He applied in vain to the Lord Licutenant of the county to be appointed on the commission ot the peacs, although there was no magistrate within ten miles of him. Within thres years from the time of the puschase, Landor was thoroughly disgusted. He would eell it, if ha could, for less than half of what it had cost him. And in the meanwhile he wou!d leave England and go to France. Hence arcse a new and stil worse trouble. ‘Thrce years before he had suddenly fal'en in love. by 0o meaus for tLe first time. *I have found,” he wrote to Southey, “a girl wirhous 8 sixpence, and with vary few acoomplishments. She 18 pretty, graceful, and good-tempered— three things indispeceabls to my happiness.” He seems never to have thoaght that good tem- per op his part might be inaepensabio to her happiness. ~ After turniog his back upon Lisn- thonv, be tariied a little while ou the island of Jersey, accompanied by bis wife and ber_sister. Ho bad made up bis m:nd to reside in France ; sbo bad made up ber miud te the coutrars. He dusliked ro have any talk about it ; she wounld tals of nothiog else. He begged her pot to drive him 1o distraction; sha retorted that thivgs bad come to a fine pass 1f he mus: never be contradicted, and finally called him some- thing like an old brute. - He was almost 40, per- baps twice ner age. Before daybreak he was up aud off aloue fur France, nobody for a month knowing what bad become of him. But in bis beautifal Italisn home, from which be could shut out everything disagreeadls, and admit onls those persons wbom he liked, and who lised bim, Lando; could not be at pescs, A few woeks before he took possesston of it be had iovolved himself in a quarrel with the authori- tiee. One of his servants had stolen some of maplate. He made complaint to the police, adding that since the offenso bad been commut~ ted nnder bis roof he did noi expect to obtsin redrese, The chief acked, in no pleasant tone, why he rresumed to say this, Enndnr replied that a pictare had been purloived from him not long before by some one to whom it had Leen intrusted, and, when he lald the matier before the Presideut of the buon goterno, ha was told that if he coutd not live quetly with his_ neigbbors he should be eent out of Tuscavy. ‘L'io Chief of Police shrnzged hia shoulders, and said, * The President of the buon overno does what he sces geod.” *Then tell im for me,” shouted Landor, *tbat if he uses such threats again L will diag him by the throat bofore tno Grand Duke.” Next day he was sum- moned before the President and ordered to be out of the Ducby in three days. He said be would not go in three days, and would stay as long 24 he pleased. Ho wrote to the Grand Duke, and in the meanwhile took a trip to the baths of Lucca. The Grand Duke decidea that he had complied with the order to leave the Duoby, aod might come back when he pleased. He had bardly got 1nto his villa when he fell in- to snother quarrel. His nearest neighbor was M. Antoir, an old attache of the French Legr- tion. Some dispute arose about a water course which Il:rflgdn"d ‘Him Jauds of each. ‘At first,” 8ays Laodor, ‘I gave up to him eve iog heasked; but bearing fim I had a:{t‘:gx I would give up everything rather than have s lawsuit, he made fresh protensions, which I must Teeist, as without the water I must lose the pro- duca of nearly a hundred lemon irees, each at least a ceutury old. They have enjoyed this water norestricted for above forty vears." In the courss of the dispute the Frenchman charged Laodor with stating what was untrue. Lan- dor challenged him, and put the matter in the hands of Mr. Kirkup. one of his friends. An- tor's friead waa the Freoch Minister. The two met and agreed that thers should be no fighting ; there were faults on both sides, and both must make and mccept mutnal explanations. The Frenchman was quite ready, but ic was hard work for Kirkup to briog Landor around, al- thongh he had promised to abide by the decision of his second, who had slready lost one friend in a duel, and bad no mind to loso another. The original dispute nppears to have been kept up atterward, for we find Lander subsequently writing of being persecated by a rascal about o water-course,” —_— CROSSED IN LOVE.

Organization of the Third Ward Ree publicans, THE CENTRAL CLUSB, AN ADJOUBNED MEETING of Republicans of the city and county was held yesterday afterncon at the head- quarters, corner of Lake and Clark streets, to receive the report of the Committeq on Organi- zation of the new Cook County Central Republi- can Clob. The mesting was largely attended, among thoss present being Louis 0. Huck, Gen. Chetlain, J. E. Atwater, Gen. Mann, Justice Balisbury, Col. Ricaby, Marry Neleon, Ald. Cloveland, Jas. P, Root, Geo. M. Bogue, John C. Clough, Ald. Bpalding, Avery Moore, Gen. M. How, Ald. R. B, Stone, Col. Etephens, Commissioner Burdick, Simeon W. King, Richard Michaelis, Gen. Hotchkiss, Reuben Cleveland, Conrad Falzy, Jobn Lyle King, J. J. Healy, Elias Shipman, Capt. Mullios, Col. ¥aine, Julian F. Rumsley, Oapt. P. M. Ryan, Gen. J. D. Webster, John F. Beanlon, Fred.

Jack Har- rlogton, ex-Ald, Gill, Mr. Beech (Blue Island), Gen. Reynolds, Robert Willisws, Msj. Wakeman, ste. Mr. Clough occupied the chair, and in opeming the proceedings calied for the report of THE COIBMITTEE ON OBGANIZATION, Ex-Ald. Sherwood said the Commiitee had met anl made their nominations for submiseion to tlue meeting, but it was found upon consult- ing the gentlemen nominated that some of them were eo situated as to be unable to serve in the capacities assigned them. Therefore, the Com- mittee had instructed bim to ask for two weeks farther time in which to conclude their labors. Ou motion, this extension was granted. Col. Pawne then rose for the purpose of moving AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITCTION. He thought Secs. 2and 3 very obscure. The only coostruction wiuch could be put upen them was that each ward in tho city and town in the county was only eutitled to delegates from one ausiliary elub, which would make but a poor or- genization of the party. ln order to remedy this serious defect, be submitted the following resolution : Jtesclved, That the second snd third sections of the constitution of the Cosk Oounty Oentral Ropublican Cl_:b be stricken out, and the follawing be inserted, to- wit: Szo, I.—Aniliary clabs shall be arganired in the 'wards sud towus of Cook County in such manner and l'u'“h such officers as the Republicans thereof shall de- e, B£0, IIL—There shall bs & grapd council of the Central Club, fo be composed of {ho Executive Com- mitteo aforesaid, and the delegates from auxiliary clubs, The auxiliary clobs of each ward or town shail Ee eutitied to send o the Grand Council ona delegate {for each 500 Ropublican votes, or fractional part there= of, cast at th election proceding their sppointment, In support of these amendments, Mr. Paine eaid they were not only definite but eqaal, fair, and just to all Republicans in the wards and towns, no matter bow mauy auxiliary clubs might be formed. He moved that Article 8 be euspended 10 order to pass the resolution. Maj. Wakeman moved to Iy on the table nn- til afier permaneat organization, but withdrew the motion temporarily o allow Mr. Paine tosay thag aftar the permanent organization the clab would have o right to change the coostitutios. Capt. Mulline espressed himself opposed to organizing wore than one ciud in each ward. If 00 limit wete imposed there would be ward clubs at every corner saloon kept by s Republican, which would injure the party in some wards, )'aj. Wakeman then renewed his motion to talle, which was voted down. ¢ .. How moved torefer the resolution tothe Committee on Organization, which, after a stiort disouseion, was carriea. _ Mr. Julian F. RBumsey moved that the Repub- licana of the different wards and towns be re- quested to PERFECT WARD AND TOWN ORGANIZATIONS DMME-~ DIATELY, 80 that they may be able to act understandingly and in upison with the Club in pertecting 1ts or- ganization. iir. Rumeey said he did not believe that a few of them ahanld select officers to run futuze campaigns, but thatthe general party ehouid parucipate in this important work. Justice Saiisbury moved as an amendment that clubs should be authorized to orgamze in the wards and towns, and that each ward send two delegates and each town one delegate, to meet the Commuttee on Organization for the purpose of nominating officers for the Central Club. Mr. Rumsey could not accept the amendment, as he wished the general party to have s voice 1n this maiter. Ar. 8canlon considered the original motion an appropriate ove, and trusted it would receive the supyort of the meeting. Ar. Bherwood did not ses the pecessity for the motion. ‘ihe people were at libertvy to at- tend the next meering, and take part 1n the election of the officors. If the nomications of the Committee were wrong they could be re- jected. Col. Paine, in supporting Mr. Rumaey's mo- tion. g3id it simply contemplated a request to tho towns and wards to seod citizens to assist in the permanent orgamization of ihe Club. Ex-Ald. Gill doubted the authority of the meeticg to proceed as dosired wichoub first effacting permanens organization. Mr. Roou was of opiuioa that po further action was_in order until the report of the Committea on Organization was pregented. He considered it a very prom:sing feature that this Committee was determined to take tume, and seleot respon- sible msn, wstcad of rusbing haphazard through their work, He boped they would take three months to complete their repurt if necessary, so that tbe names they might select should be a guarantea to the Nortowest that toere was & Republican party in the city and county. For on- be Wwss not afraid that the general party would not be fairly repre- sented by the officers. If the report was satis- factory, it could be adopted ; if not, there was intelbgence and integrity enough in the pasty £2 send it back with iostructions. After further discussion, based eotirelyona misunderstanding of the motioa, Mr, Reot offer- ed the following substitute, which amoants sub- stantially to the aame thing : Resolved, That all Republican crganizations of this county be Tequested to organize, and to send repre- sentatives Lo co-operate with such other Republicans 25 may meet hers at the next meeting for the purpose of comacering the report of the Gommittos on Pormea: ment Orgaaization, 2nd to elect fwd and live Republi~ cans a8 officers of this Central Clab. The substitnte was unanimously adopted, and ;he meeting adjourned to Baturdsy, Deo. 11, at p.m. —_— THE THIRD WARD, THE BEPUBLICANS ORGANIZING. A large number of the most influential citi- zens of the Third Ward aesembled last evening, a4 405 State street, in accordance with the f lowing call, which showa the object of the meet. ing: You are respectfaolly fnvited to attend s meetiog of the {ax-payers and legal voters of the Third Ward, knowing, as we do, that you have the intereais of the ward at heart, and that Dothing wrould give you more pleasure taan to see capable and honest men fillin, 3ur public offices.

Noue but Lonest men should be elected to office hereafter, and he bojed that all'the good citizens of the ward would aid i 80 laudatle an object. On motion of Mr. Vierling, ic was decided that a committes of five be appointed to nominate permanent officers and an Executive Committee of twelve, and report at the pext meetiog. The Chairman then announced the following %&g& men as the Committee: E. G. Mason, th . Artbory, Willism E. Doggett, Addison Ballard, and 8. W, P . Mr. Anthony declined, be- cause he had not lived long enough in the ward to be properly mglmunted. Mr.J. W. E.Thomas was selacted to fill the place of Mr. Anthony.

Tasopone F. Pxioe. An lndian Cosmogony. . Powell, in_Scriwner for Decsmber, gives the following uccount of the religious traditions of Indians who inhabit tho Moqul towns of Arizona:) They worship & god of the north, and a god of the south; a god of the east, and a god of the west; & god of thunder, and & god of rain, the sup, the moon, and the stars; and, in addition, each town has its patron deity. There seems also to be engrafted on their religion a branch of ancestral worship. Their notiou of the form aod coustitution of the world is architectural ; that it is composed of many storiss. e live in the second. Ma-chi-ts, literally the leader, probably 2o ancestral , god, is said to have brought them wup from the lower 8t0] to the next higher, in which ry we now live. The heaven suove ie the ceiling of this story, the tloor of the nex:. Their ac- count of their rescue from the lower world by Ma-chi-ta is briefly as follows : The people be- low were a medley mass of good and bad, acd Ma-chi-ts determined to rescus the former, and leave the latter behind. So be called to his friends to bring bim o young tree, and, looking overhead at the sky of tbat lower world, the floor of this, he discovered a crack, and placed ths young aod growing tree immediately under it. Then he raised his hauds and prayed, aadid alt his followers ; and, =8 be praved, the tree f’"" uotil it branches were thrnst through he crevice in the lower-world sky. Yhen the people climbed up, in one long stieam; still up they came notil all the good were there. Ma~ chi-ta, stanaing on the brint of the orevice, locked down, and saw the tree filled with the bad, who were following: then he caught the growing ladder by the upper bonghs. twisted it from ita foundation in the soil ben~-*. and threw it aver, and the wicked fell dcwnin~ i's of manglsd, groaning, cursing huni. ty. Wi o the peopls bad epread out through .. s wu.ud, n;:{ found tho ceiling, or sky. 8o low thui tuey could not walk without stooping, and they mur- wured. Then Ma-chi-ta, standiog io the very centre of this stary, piaced his_shoulder agamst the sky, and lifted it to where it now is, Still1t was cold and dark, and the Jmupla mor- mured and eursed Ma-chi-ts, and he said: % Why do’ you complain? Bring me seven bas- kets of cotfon;’ and they brought h.m seven baskota of cotton. And ne sad: * Bring me seven virgins ;" snd thev brought him seven virgins. Aud be taught the virgins to weave a wonderfa) fabric, which he held aloft, and the breeze cartied it oway to the ekyj and behold! it was transformed into s full-orbed moon. -The same breeza also carried the flocculens fragments of cot- ton to the eky, and Io} these took the shapa of bright stars, ~ And etill it wes cold; and ‘again the people murmured, and Ma-chi-ta chided them once more, and eaid, ‘“‘Bring me seven buffalo robes;” and they Lrought him seven boffalo robes. ‘‘Send me seven strong, pure young men;” snd they sent lum seven youog men. whom he taugbt to weave a wonderful fabrio of the buffalo far, And wheg it was doae, he beld it aloft, sand & whirlwind carned it away to the sky, where it was traosformed into the sun.
