The Doctor bad been, it is salleged, this man’s medical adviser for somo time, and ap- pei as tho principal sud natarally the best witness against him when the case was tried in court. When-this individual—whose name i8 withheld from publicazion since be has recovered his reason—was broaght before ihe Judge, he was certainly in a condition which ap- peared to show lunacy, and the aaswers of Dr. Wilder to the questions addrossed to him were 80 decisive that the Court bad no besitation 10 declaring the maa ingaue, and ordering 1hat he be committed to the hospital.

Subsequently Angelina provailed upon him to purchase another cow, & cow of experience and doclity, one that had recently boenm a mother heigelf, and without aDy assistance fsom the milkmsa sod Laks Michigan could give &ix quarts of milk daily.

THE GAMBLERS, To ths Editer of The Chidago Tribune Crxcaco, Dec. 4.—Would i not be a good Ides for the Youog Men's Onristian Association and the Citizens’ Associstion to make » combined af. fort to drive the gamblers from this city? Surely they have the influence necessary to acco! mplish such & blessing.—tho Young Men's Clu:munn As- sociation especually (as coming within its sphero of looking after the moral welfare of young men) should take the matter in hand, and de- vote a little time to investigation. By do{nk 80 they will find that a thief is generally an invet- erste gambler, stealing at every opportunity, in order togratify an insane desire to ** buck the tiger.” As is well known, people depending on salaries, whea once initiated into the mysteries of gambliog, are gane:lllg regular patrons, hop- ing thereby to_add to their limited ;u_y. little oxtra money. What is the result? Perhaps they take their esroings and visit such cursed denn of gilded iniquity as *The Store” or the * Hankios’ rooms,” aud of course ses their moaey graduclly golag to swell the baok ac- count of the proprietors of the dens. The next atep leads to the sideboard, where liquors are to Lo bad free, then out mto the etreet, wild with intoxication aud loss of money, perhaps with a vague thought of a family at home awaiting their coming, to get necessary supplies, and the thoughts that follow, how fearful to contem- plate—thelt, murder, and suicide. Stnike a deathi-blow to the gambling-helis, and many a poverty-stricken famity will bless the act. Think of the curse inflicted by the Hankins Brothers upon jthe absconding clerk of s Fifth avooue banking-house. Thmnk of the bereave- ment caused Mrs. Whyland by the act of & gam- bler, probably led on todrink by losses at the gamiog-table, only ta become & murderer. Skall we submit our lives and houor::to the keeping of the Alike McDonald crowd any lopger ? Not by ‘any meaos. - Now is the time to act, and because South Clark streot has not enongh lamp-posts to hang the peats of that thoroughfare to, thers 1s no reason why a few conld not bo used to advan- tage, if other means shouid fail. 3 INVESTIGATOR. THE M'CONNELL OLADX. To the Editor of 1'he Chicago Tribune : Cuicaco, Dec. 4.—Vill you allow me a brief space in your columos to correct some of the errors in the telegram of your: Washinzton special which appeared in - your issue of the 8d inst., with reference to what is known as the **McConnel land chim,” which claim, let me say in passing, does not extend north from the Tiver to Chicago avenne, as stuted 1o Tax Trin- UNE of this morning, but onlv to a point or line s few feet north of XKiuzie street. Your epecial. speaks of this claim a1 hav- ing “beon sleeping in the Iinterior Derartment since the dacision of Jake Thomp- 8oa, Secrewary of the Interior, in 1858, and which bas now been revived by speculstors.” This is wholly egoneous. Ay late father, Murray Mo- Connel, entered the land in questivn in June, 1836, and since that date thore has never been a day when tho claim hny been allowed to **sleep, technically or actually, bat, on the contrary, it bas beon pressed with all the vigor a single claimant could command againet the forces which opposed, ever since that day, before some tribunal, in some shape, and all the occupants of the ground bave had legal cotice, and most, if not sM, of them actusal notice othermise. Suits woro pending in the courts of this county in the winter of 1868-'9, aud & dedimus issued tberefrom, directing the taking of iy fatber's deposition in the matter, reached Jacksonville, where ho rosided, on the train which arrived there from Chicago three hours before he was murdered in Lis office, Many then thought the two events were copnected, aud many think so atill. 1 have never thought 80. Mis murder and the subsequent destruction of many of the papers inthe case in the grest fire of 1871, involv- ing loog and tedigus lsbor to replace them, have been the only canses of delay for which Government or court oflicials have nos been di- rectly responsible since 1835, Neither bas the caso ** been revived by specn- lators.” It has never slept. - Since the death of my father it has been pressed by myself alone as one of his heirs, aod his_oply legai representa- tive. Whatever responsibility aitaches to this eifort to assert a vested right, I assume. Ido not desire 1o mako any statement of the facts or of tho argument based on them. That has been and will Ledone in proper tims and place. You will, bowoser, Tardon mo for trespassing fuither to eay that there is not, nor conld there be, any gronad for tha implization of deveption of Premdent Giant. The record subm:tted to bim was the woik of Government officers, of couise, with which counsel or parties could bave nohing to do. a Pardon me if I add, alao, that while thers can be no objection to the publication of fairly- astated facts of gencral interest, there is alwars just cause of objection if tno pubiished state- ment ia pattial, ex parte, and full of false impli- cstion. It wears too much the appearance of au attempt t0 manufactare pablic opinion, Yours, &e., G- M. McCoNNEL. AGNEW'S YET. To the Editor of The Chizago Tribune : Cricago, Deo. 3.—1I have reaa several articles in & late issue of Tur I'mk TRIBUNE bearing on the Agnew-Madden caso, and I would like to ssy s few words in reference to that matter. The question to be answeredis : Did Sheriff Ag- new know that Blennerbassett and Madden were at large on certain periods ? As Blennerhasset is firet, I will tell what I know about his case. It was no secret in jail thathe was allowed his liberty whenever he felt hke going out. Oune day after returniog from oue of bis periodical drunks, in company with Jailer Doyia (who was 88 drunk a8 Blennorhassett),they me® the sherifl at the entrance of what ia known a8 the *‘cage.” The Sheriff sposo to Doyle, sod passed on. Doyle nulocked the *‘cage” door, and brought Blennerhassett in_the corridor of the jail, and tuen depatted. Now tne Sueriff appears before the Grand Jury, and says ho never kuew that Bleunerhasgett had his Ifberty, Still he waa out of jail, and the Sheriff mot him reiurning. Surely if Mr. Agnew ivquired he would have been told that Bleunsrhassett was ont, and I am 1uclived to think that he did navire and that it w88 with his permiscion that Blennerhaasett bad bie hberty. Thers were several witoesses to the above facts. Itwas no uncommon thing for Blennerhuesett to leave the jail early in the evening, visit & house of ill fame, and retorn in {be morning. In reference to the Madden case I knaw that previous to election he was in the habit of going home in the eveving, remaining all night, and returging in the moruing. When Blenncrhassett wenu ont he was generally accompauied by the Jailer, whereas Madden was allowed to go alone, It wus not the Sheriff’s fdult that both of thess men did not escape. The Sheriff deserves oredit for removing the drunken mub of might watch- men. If he would keap on aud make ** Brennan™ stop down and out, he would confer a blessing upon a great many. Hoping you will publish the above, { remain yours, etc. A PRISONER. BOARDING-HOUSE REPEATERS, To the Editor of The Chicago T'ribune : Cmicaco. Dec. 4.—In bebalf of the 1,001 boarding-bouse Leepers of this city who are monthly, if not weekly, victimized by the profes- sional dead-bezt, I call aitention to a set of re- peators who, when not at the polls, make a businees of going from honse to house, &pong- iog a week's board hero and a week's board there. It is surprising to what an exlent repeat- ing of this kind is carried on. Some men who -are adepts in the art of “boarding round,” as they call it, seldom pay a week’s board from gne year's end to another. Getting their board for nothing, chey can afford to Joaf, dress Jn style, sud smoke the best cigars. Their modo of op- eration is to prepars from the Sunday paper a list of places, 850 88 to have one engaged when another gives out. Thess boarding-honse VAETants carry little or no baggage with them, that they may losc nothinz when compeiled 1o suddenly decamp. They excuse their lack of Linggage by saving that it hss not arrved from the country or their last stobping-place. As their intention is to defraud. they make no ob- Jection {o the price, but simply remark, if any allusion to price is made, that they are nccus- tomed to pay by the week or month, by which time they are ready with some plausible excuse for failure, and 80 it goes on from week to week until pationco is exhausted and deud-beat is told to leave, or, foreseeing the storm, hetakes warn- ing aod suddenly decamps without notice. No one can compute the amouut of loss to which widows and others who keep boarders are sub- Jected by reazon of shese rascally maranders, who onght to be described and buileticed, 1f not arrested for obtsining money (board) under false pretenses. A BURNED PAPERS. To ths Kditor of A'he Chicdgo Tridune : Caicaao, Dec. 4.—In your issue of Saturday appears a communication signed *‘Pro Bono Pablico " in relation to neswspapers held for post- age at the Chicago Post-Office. The writer knows go little of the subjoct that be is wrong in nearly every ststement bo makes. Itistrue that hundreds of newspapers aro held at the Post-Office for want of sufficient postage, but it is absurd to oy they are disposed of as your cor~ respondent asserta. The law is very explicit in its directions as to what disposition shall be ade of suck matter. ‘Buck us i held for poste 8ge s simply » 88 waste paper, - and the law says that afl waste paper shall be sold to the bighest bidder, and the procoeds of the same accounted for in general accounts to the Department. The Devartment and this office have taken great pains to inatruct the public in_regard to the proper postage required on the different clases of mail matter, and the consequences resulting from a non-campliance with the postal Inws and regula- ti0n8 in this respect. Your correspondent evi- dently is not very well road in postal matters, if it ia nis understandiug that it is only since last February that prepayment on third-cluss mail matter has been required. No ope in the Chi- 880 Post-Office—and 1t has some veterans—has 8 memory that goes back to the time when such mattor was permitted transmiseion through ths mails without prepayment. X OUR MILK LAWA. To the People of Chicago: Last Bunday’s ‘article met with a response from “Qitizon,™ changing isnae to * Milk Inapection,” and claim- ing that the lactometer was untrustworthy. Let *Citizen " meet mo Bquarely, signing his own nn{n&(nuf-hing like individual reaponsi pility in Chicago)—and I will prove my assertiony aod demonsirate that his articlo waa written in the interest of that nico little ** Inspectorship * (5,000 to $10,000 per year), and not in the m- terests ef the poor milkman, who is lisble to Lave his milk seized, a8 he states, ** because it has too much cream.” “Too thin.” He can't chango the subject that way, A petition in blaok, ssking the Council to stop the salo of swill milk, has been printed by the Milk Dezlers’ Union, and can be obtained at &heir rooms (Headlam's Agency), 148 Madison street, Room 4. Dr. Benjsmin C. Miller, Sanitary Superintend- ent of the Board of Health, stated to me to-day that in Chicago typhoid fever had been directty traced to the use of *‘swill milk,” and that he was in favor of prohibiting its eale. The assist- ancs of the public is asked in this matter. Call 2nd sign the petition, and, if possible, take tbe blanks and have tbem signed by voters and residents of Chicago and Cook County, and return them for presentation to the Common Council. We, the people, ask 1or a law to pro- tect our interests, and not entirely in the inter- 0t8 of aa Inspector levving a tax of 820 on all milk-dealers, said tax being levied solely for tho purpose of supporting that Inspector. The people, as well as the milk-dealers, ara willing to be taxed, providing they get protection. Gene tlemen of the Common Conncil, we nsi a hear- ing. I have heard as much by many members that we should have it. Wrrrray Heaprax, Jo. —_—— CALVARY, A DAPFLED ATTEMPY, A TRreUNE reporter yesterday ran across Mr, T. D. Guines, Superivtendent of Calvary Ceme- tery, and as the public, since the desecration of Graceland, has taken a more Lively interest in the gentlemen who have charge of the last resting-placo of the desd, stoppsd him and ssked & few questions in regard to the graveyard in his specinl charge, the auawers to which will Pprobably not be without interest to the public. Reporter—Well, bfr. Guinea, has Wilder's per- formancae stirred up your people to exsra vigi- lance 2 Mr. Guiren—We always have been on the look-out from the fact that more attempts per~ hapa bave been made on oor cemotery, or a por- e of it at least. than on some of tho others. R.—Any recently ? Ar. G.~The last that we koow anything about was nearly a moath sgo—the 8th of November. That evening & couple of our men wers Iying in the ditch near where the single grave division is located. They were waiting there, watching to see what might turn up, when a coupls of men came along and seitled them- selves down also in the ditch, and rght near theny, tho two parties being separated onlv by a little brushwood. My men wgited and waited, expecting that these two men would presently leave thewr hiding place and set to work. While thev were watching they beard the sound of digging ot & littla distance off in the cemetery and started 1n the direction of the gound. The moment they left the ditch the two fellows who were there whistled to their confederates who bad Leen digging, and the lattar at once set off at fall 8y eed, leaving behind them a pick, shovel, ax, and coat, all of which wero captured. The guards fired at the flving men, usiug a Spencer r:fl> and revolvers. Unfortuvatsly the riflo be- cume clogged after the vecond discharge by acap whca coald not be ramoved, and, siuce itis rather d:fijcalt to shoot straight al night under the best circumstances, the maraaders escaped. I biave the coa: at our oflice now, aod would be very glad if you would request its owner to call and see me for tho purpose of identification, R.—Have thers baeu any successful attempts that you kuow of ? r. G.—No. The portion of the cemetery which is the most exposed is. of coarse, the sin- . gle-grave part. I bave never known of men venturing up 1ato the lot division. We keep a wood guard, bowever, all the time, well armed, and relieved at intervals during the night, so that I apprebend no davger. In order, however, to make salefy a little more safe, I have been authorizod by Biskop Folay to offer A REWARD oF 3100 to any ono producing evidence which will lead to tho conviction of any person who may have pre- viously made any attempt upon the cemetery or who may try to do any body-snatching thers hereafter. I am ioclied fo think that the commotion which has been occasioned by this Wilder affair, and the prompt arrest of the four men who were his em;lnyes, will have a de- cided effect in preventing a repetition of the offense for some time to come. - The 1eporter, m conversation with Mr, Guinoa, was asked by that gentieman to correct a httlo error which bad receutly been made by some of the papers in regard to the lawsuit brougnt by the Town of Lake against Bishop Foley. Itbad been iucorrectly stated that the cemetery which was concerned in the suit was Calvary. Thatis not the case, however, the burial-ground in question beiog the German Catholic Cematary, which lies in Lake View, Calvary bemng in Evaaston. ——— THE COUNTY BUILDING. The Bheriff will start for Joliet Thursda; accompanied by a batch of his boarders. 4 The Jail was the scene of a marrisge ceremony Yyesterday forenoon, the parties being all the way from Norway. The County Treasurer's oflice yesterdsy was undergoing & general cleaning, preparatory to being occupied by Mr. Euck to-morrow. The janitor of the buildiog astonished every- body yesterday by etarting the work of cleaning the chandeliers in the Criminal Court-room. Three of the parties connected with the resur- rection of the body of Mra. Adams wers yestor- day given over to Sheriff Agnew for keeping. Those who made the disgraceful fight on Com- misgioner Burdick at the last meeting of the Bozrra, were vesterday noticed to be on the stoot of repentanca. The supper. bill of Commissioner Crawford, incurred In feeding his delegato friends to the late Opposition Couvention, was_ yesterday pisced in the hands of & collection agency. Many of the members of the County Board have reached the conclusion thata compromise between the nval Court-House architects will never be aitained, and that it was never inended otherwise. THE GRAND JURY. The Grand Jury completed its Iabors yesterday forenoon, and reported to tue Court. ‘The only indictment of moment found during the day was one found against Igo and Flyn, the parties dis- charged Friday on a peculiar ruling of the Court. Thirty indictments in uli were returned into Court, the more important of which bave al- ready been noted as they were found from day to day. Among the indictiments returned worthy of es- Ppecial mention was one against Jailer Doyle, for aliomng the escape of Michasel Madden from the jul Accompapring the indictment the jury handed in the fullowing excuse for its conduet, which will also serve to vindicate Sherift Agnew : That a complaint was made before us against Fran- cis Agnev, Sheriff of Cook County, for malfeasance in ottice, by allowing & prisoner named Michael Madden 10 go'at largo whohad been convicted and sentenced to a perloa of cocfinement 10 the County Jell by this Honorable Court; that we have examined carefully into the matter, acd report that ead Madden was alowed to bo ocf of jailus chargod, but we have mot Leen ahle to obtz!n proof that aald Francis Agnew had Inowledge of the fact.
