Spezal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, New Yong, Dec. 18,—Ouskey Hall in his time hos playod many parts; first a reporter on the Tribune; he subsequently became editor of the Review, s weekly paper in the intorest of the Tweed Ring, with which ha became politically con- nected ; subsequently he became, possibly byno ocollusil but certainly by carelessness, con- nected ¥ith the £6,000,000 or more frauds of Tweed. Once tried but not convicted, s second time iried snd sequitted, he stoutly mantainod hia incocencs, and finaily compelled acknowledg- ment from ths papers which had sccused him of bis ionocence. But accusation sometimes is 84 deadly as omot,Hnnd whether guilty or not, the cbarges ruined Hall's hluiumgmflzrwu the first to see that it was affecting the intorests of his firm, Brown, Hall & Vanderpool, and he was msvly enough to give notice of its dissolution. The law and the papers lost to him as a means of livelihood and of justification, ho tarned to the staze, ana to-night appeared in s piece which was mtenced to be his justification. Ey wilom written is Dot known. Hall is sas- pected, and the wewght of evidence, in forced parts and extravagant similes, is decidedly apaiost him. The play is a mere skeleton. Tho only scens of any pe- culiar interest or novelty is & jury room, and th's ig rendered rediculous by a cheap exhibi- tion of fisticuffs. Hall's part is the worst sort of a walling gentlemsn's, and he walked throngh it in a painfally stili- ed manner. The personal statements in the justincation of himself wers numerous, but not forcible. Once. when be talked of res- titution being equivalent 0 confession, hs rose 8bove tho mete automaton that he was through- out the pluy. At the close, he mace sn insudible specch st the «call of a homse mado up largely of personal friendu. Judges of the courts aud politicians were in largo atlendaoce.

FORREST'S TREATMENT OF COLORED PEGPLE.

Probably afew facts to strengthen this assertion will not be onf of place. ;. Last Fourth of July Gen. Forrest, Col. Gallo- way (editor of the Appeal), and Gen. Pillow, dined, by invitation, with the * Pole-Bearers,” the largest society of colored men in Mamgg:l& There was & guskiog time on both sides. For- rest and Pillow made lengthy speeches. Gallo- way excused himself by promising to writs, be- canse he was not in the habit of speaking. A young colored lady presented Forrest with*s bouquet, and Forrest returned thanks, sayiog, among other ihings, that “he always loved the ladies™; which somo of his old friends, who Loew him when his business was o0 buy and sell ‘*Indies,” maliciously asserted that they kuew to be true 38 to the good-looking ones in whom he deslt. It was reported that Gal- lowsy and Pillow were jealous and somewhat chagrined because they did not receive the same attentionsas Forrest in the matter of flowersand 80 0. This wants cofirmation.

Tecontly Forrest hes added proof palpablo| to his words. A few months ago he gon- trocted with the county to take the poor, and with tho city to take the chain-gang,—feeding and clothing them, snd paying 10 cents por day for their labor. To matke their Iabor profitable, he rented 640 acres of land on President’s Island, in sight of Mem- Fhll. This valueble tract of land has been most- ly cleared up and cultivated, siuce the WanZg negroes who were living upon it.

Brown Irun-Works, and terribly beatez ; that tho spe- cal backed his horse into_theditch, turnad him out of his buggy, strack him with his Ismp and elub, kicked bim in the head, sad did all a man could to kill him. On the othorside, it is claimed that tho Doctor waa drunk; thathewas attempting to drive into the iron-works yad, whea Leonard ardered him to stop, &8 nobodywas permitted to driva thers under such circumaances ; that the Trusteo then struck him over tls head with his whip, and undertook to thrah him ; snd that nothing wss done which wasnot done in self- dofense. 'The gpecial wns =rested on Dr. Hews' complaint, and locked apin the station to await such time a8, the complanant might re- quire bofore hie would be sble ti appear againat Lim. Justice Horn had » partid examination, and committed Leonard n defanit of £2,000 bail. This bail vas afterward oltered, but those in charge of he station would not let the man go. It was eident tuat they wero bound to do all they could to curry favor with Hews, who is Chairman of the Police Com- mittee. Mr. Torrence, of the ion-works, got a Wwrit of habeas corpus, and Depuy Shoritf Loog- ley served tho papers Friday. 4e found Capt. Binford gone, and Owen Shridan, station- kaeper, refused o recognize the power of the writ. Forthis he was summaed before tho Criminal Court vesterday, aud gven a lesson as to his daty,” while Leooad was finally set ot liberty. .The trial, as aforosaid, will come off before Justice Forn to-morrow merning, and some interestin; developments may be expected. The Trustee rill try to make out that Leonard dessrves to be sant to Joliet, and the latter will try a8 hard to wow that Hyde Park has one Trustee who is o s stranger to “big druvks.” Dr. Hews thinki Leonard in- tended to kill him, aoa assigns as:he motive the fact that bo had introduced inbthe Board s resolution by which Leonard, mong others, would be diecharged from polictservice.

Meetings in Other Sections of the Cityess The Central Club. THE FOURTE WARD CLUB. A meeting of the Fourth Ward Republican Club was held last evening at No. 690 Wabash avenue, Mr, C. )L Culbertson in the chair, and Mr. W. O. Cole acting as Secratary. Mr. J. H. Clongh submtted a constitution and by-laws. All the sections, except one in favor of speedy spocie resumption, wers easily adopted. That in regardto the resumption of sp ecie payments called forth a short discussion. A, Ira W. Buell thought that the declaration of intention to maintain the principles of the Republican pacty covered all that was neces- sary, Mr. B. C. Cook was strongly in favor of the carrency plsok. The Republionn party had al- ways shown tho most strength when it was fighting for a certain principle, and, as the peo- vle wanted a sound currency, he meant to fight for that. A number of others exprassed their desire to bave that principle embodied in the constitn- tion. This section was then sdopted unani- wously. On motion of Mr. Murry Nelson, it was de- cided to hold the regular meetings of the Club on the second and fourth Baturdsy of each month. On motion of Mr. A. C, Calkins, it waadecided that the ofticers previonsly elected be declarsd the permanent officers of the Club. On mo:ion, the Chairman appointed the fol- lowing Committes to report names to fill vacan- cies, if there be any, at the nex: meeting of the Club: Messra. Buell, Calkins, and Keith. Mr. J. H. Clough stated that the Committee on Coostitution and By-Laws had drawn up an address to the voters of the ward, which hehoped the meetiog would adopt. Mr., Kirk Hawss then read the following ad- dress, which was unasimonsly adoptad : To TEE REPUDLICAN VoTERs oF Tz FOURTH 'WARD : A% » meeting of the Fourth Ward Republizan Club, held on the 11th of December list, the under- sighed wers appointed o committee for the purposs, among other things, of devising means by whizh to secure the support and active co-operation of the Re- publican voters of the ward.

Of one thing we are confilent, that with the ballot in the hands of tho fgnorant and the vicious, who com- poss no inconsidarable portion of onr YoHng popius- tion, it is fmpossidle, in _great metropolla lize ago, to eloct honest, capable men to offiice, unless the roapectablo business men of the city who now decline any active part in politics can in some way bo ht toa realization of the fact that they bave political du- tics to porfarm that are just as sscred and o them as any they owe Lo their famuly or to soctety. Owing to the neglect of those who teally have the largest interests at stake, unprinciplel and design- ing men bave oblalned control of many of the lm- portant positions of responsibility and trozz. Esery now inveatigation brings to light new crimes of which these men aro guilty. Thoy not only encourage the practios of {roud and” deceit in municipal elections, ‘but unblushingly use their official power o shield the gutlty when called to anawer for their crimes. In onr city are many unprincipled men who make politics their trade, and grow rich by atexling tho money of whiich honest aitizens have bech plundsred under the guise of taxation and, special assessments.
