Allport, of this city, bas been lecturing on dentistry before the Medical College of the Michizan State Uni- versity stZAon Arbor. The lectures have been Mlustrated by practical operations upon the teeth, and have been highly entertaining and profitable to the class and the subject. Mrs. Laurs Horn, residing st No. 700 Seven- teenth street, reports her dsughter as abeent from homs since Thursday. She is 13 years of age, light bair and comblexion, biae eyes, and bas a mole on the right side of ber face, near shenose. She was dressed in dark clotles, and spesks Germsn.

About 8 o'clock yesterdsy afternoon, & horse owned by Mr. Armbeim, residing a¢ No. 225 Monroe street, took fright and ran away from the owner's residence. When the frantic apimal resched the corner of Mourco aud Halsted stroets, the buggy to which he was attached col- lided with & lamp-post, precipitating AMr. Aro- heim to the pavement, He received sovere ‘bruises i the head and right side. He was taken home, and the Liorse was cavght & short distance from the scene of the accident. Reynolds, the candidate for Mayor sccording £ the principles of '76, now has an organ. Itis a dininutive oce, to be sure, but_te sass he will haveit from the bottom up. It is known a8 the Reunion Record. It is to be s four-page paper, hen *Conch” gets the type. DButashe bas ot the type, it is but one page st present, snd very small at that.

The tree, which sir. Peterson will present to the city, will be planied with becom- ing ceremonies, 1n presence of the Board of Public Works and citizens, on that corner of Washington Park which fronts the Hon. Mablon D. Ogden's residence aud the Rev. Robert Collyer’s church. THE NEW CUSTOM-EOTSE. Abont two months sgo a ditficnltp arose be- tween Mr. Mueller, the contractor at the new Custom-Honse, avd the Government as to when the cut-stone farnished by the contractor shonld be paid for. Mr. Mueller cisimed that the money was due as soon as the stone was fornished, and he held out his purse that it wight be ‘replenished forthwith. Pending dis- Tusson, the work of cattiug stone was stopped, snd the fight went bravely on, while the 300 atone-cutters stood aronnd eod watched anxious- 1 for the settlement. A short time ago Mr. Mills, the agent for 3r. Mueiler, went_to Washiugtcn and succeeded in having the dispute settled in favor of Alr. Mueller's theory of immediate payment, and Teturned here with the cheering information that the werk of stono-custing would shortly commencs sgain. During the week a letter same from Mr. Potter to the effact that the whole business had been confided to 3lr. Bur- ing, the Buperintendent. Mr. Burling saye ‘bat thers is plenty of cat-stons on band, and That he shall not need any more until April or dereabouts. Whoreupon the 300 stone-cutters \rise and protest, and, in pursuance thereof, sve presented s petition, numeronsly signed. The petition sets forth that at the commenca- nent of the present winter the potitioners were wmployed in catting stone for the new Custom- House, with the understandiog that they should ‘ave employment throughout the winter seadou ; that early in February the work was suspended because of an alleged difficuity between the con- ‘ractor aud the Government, which difficulty the etitioners ware informed would be soon settled, “ind a8 800N a8 it was settled the work wounld re- Jommence; that they waited patiently for & nonth, snd were informed last week that every- ‘hing bisd besn arranged, and that the work ould start up again as soon as suticient stone ahonld arrive to employ the force; that the pe- Yitioners were finally mnformed that the time for ppening up is left to Mr. Burling, who cousiders t inexpedient to cut any more stono at present. Wherefore the petitioners say that oy further postponement of the work will entail great suf- Tering npon them and their families, which suf- Jering is enhanced by a similarsuspeneion of the work 1ast summer. Therefore they pettion the 3uperintendent to devise ome means for pro- seeding at once with the work, and tbereby re- heve thie necesgities of the petitioners and “ earn she gratitude of every good citizen.” THE CITIZESS' ASSOCIATION AND ** LETTERS FROM - THE PEOPLE.” The Secretary of the Citizens’ Association states that his attention has been called 10 vari- pns commanications 1n Tne TRIBUNE at differcnt times, on matters of interest to the Association, three of which in Saturdsy’s issue are devoted to subjeots which are at presont engaging the attention of the Executive Committee. An extensive correspondence with men of in- finence m every part of the State has been car- ried on since the middle of January relative to the Revenue law aud kindred matters. It has bscome very voluminous. but it is not completed ; when it is, it will be carefully collated by a sompetent,_committee, and tho results given to the public ; for the present it is sufficient to state that the pnucipal points elicited are: A general feeling of dissatsfaction with, and a desire for the abolition of, theState Board of Equalization; an simust upiversl recom- mendation for the assessment of a1l property at its cach value ; the application of exietiog or in- cressod penalties in the cases of Assessors who do not 80 comply with the Iaws, and the selec- tiop, at the ballot-box. of Assessors of koowa Integrity and competency. Under the actnal circamstances of Cook County, this last is of the greatest and most urgens importance. Relative to the nominations for ofticers at the toming spring election, the duty of the Associa- tion seems to be to use its influence with both political parties to induce them to nominate men of ubexceptionsl character. Tho member- ship of the Association is large, sand composed of men of differing political views, and although it has been urged upon the Executive Committes that, for local offices, a list of nominees irrespective of party,.accept- sbls 10 & very large class of the community, rould be made, they do not gce their way clear Ior & depsrture from the well-defined and ex- ed policy of the Association in this regard. en the time for the coming elections is nearer at hand, they will have formal and earpest com- munications to maks to the members on this subject. i ‘The continually increseing city debt has en- gaged the attention of the Executive Committee, and 1o at this time under the consideration of their Jegal members, :This question 18 surrouud- ed with many difficulties and embarrassmenta wbu:e require care and deliberation in its treat~ manf —_— MR. PICKARD. FOB INTENDED RESIGFATION. Yor some time past it has been mooted that Prof. Joshus L. Pickard, Superintendent of the Chicago Public Schools, intended to tender his resignation of the position which he has occn- pied with credit to_bimself for so many years t. Yesterdsay afternoon s TRIBUNE reporter ralled at the gentleman's residence, No. 142 Park avenae, corner of Lincoln street, from whom he gained the following information: w1t is unders sir, that you intend to ten- fer yonr resignation a8 School SBupenntendent. Is that 502" b sy “Yea, sir. Ibave had that intention in view far some time past.” LY ; N o ety tntion .3l + No, 8ir ; signi my intention % org, President of tne Board of Educa- tion.” “t Are there avy unpleasant reasons for your sed action 2" p'fipxl:'ono whatever, eir. They are wholly per- sopal, Ipeed rest.” L = * Then there hae been no misunderatandiog 7 «Q no, ir. Everything is just as pleasadt as eonld be dosired.” . a oo “ When will vonr resignation take effect ? « At the end of the school-year, Sept. 1. I felt jt 2 duty to let the President of the Board of Educatiou know in time what my intention was, in ordar that they might be prepared.” « Have you mentioned the subject publicly 2 *¢No, sir, snd I had no intention of making it public; but I pever denied it to any who asked me about it."” This ended the conversation, Prof. Pickard came to this city from Madison, Wis., in 1864, and has held the position of Su- perintendent up to this time,—a period of twelve years. He went to Wisconsin thirty years ago, and for eighteen years prior to 1864 was connected with the educational cause in that State, the last five years as State Superintendent. Prof. Pickard is an experienced educator and talented gentleman, and Chicago will lose in him a valuable adjunct to her system of popular edu- cation. — e H. N. F. LEWIS. SOME MOBE HARSH THINGS SAID. A patition was filed yesterday in the matter of Horatio N. F. Leria by John W. Tope, Bradnor, Smith & Co., and the Northwestern Paper Com- pany, which makes some-very serious charges against Lowis. The petitioners state that they are creditors of the bankrupt, Tope fo the amount of $1,000, Bradner, Smith & Co. to the amonnt of £4207.41, and the Northwestern Paper Company to the amonnt of $6,576.93; that on the 19th day of March, 1875, Lewis was the proprietor of the Ieslern Rural, sud slso of the Young Fulks' Monthly, locsted at No. 407 West Madison street. Lewis was at thut time receiving from $50,000 to $60,000 s year for subscriptions to and advertisiog in those papers, and was also the owner of type, Pressos, and machivery to.the amount of I12,- 000 or $15,000. At that time (March 19, 1875), peing, a8 he claimed, indebted in the sum of about $6,000 to D. A. Davis, aad also in a large amount 10 pelitioners, Lewis, a8 is alleged, oxe- cuted to Davis s promissory note for 215, 000, and secured it by a chattel mortgage on all bis personal property, worth 340,000 or 50,000, and including the eubscription lists to his pa- pers, good will, stock, ete. ‘Chis mortgage and note wera given entirely without consideration, the 26,000 of bona fide indebtedness not being included in it, and were only given with the fraudcient intent to cover up his property and hinder hig creditors from col- lecting tbeir claims. This 15000 note and ~ mortgsge wero _immediately turncd averto A. 8. Trade, who advanced all the money loaned by Dz<1s to Lewis, and who Was a party to the whole echeme, as petitioners allege. About the 25th of January last the petition- ers haviog heard that Lewia was intending to have the mortzage foreclosed 80 as to put his property in_the hands of a third party, went to him and demanded the amount of their claims. He then-stated that he had only owed Trude or Davis about 6,000 inall, and that that had been more than eatirfied by payments, of usurions interest. Petitioners thereupon went to Trude to tuke up the note and mortgage for their cwn protaction, a8 they toid him. That oily individus}, however, did not know ex- actly how much was due on the note, but thought it was about 6,000, and promised to find ount in three days. On_ the day, however, that they wers to go and see Trade a second time, they were surprised to hear that he had foreclosed the mortgage with- out giviog the requisite notice, and had gold tns entire property at 9 o'clock in the morning for $3,000 to one G. L. Hoodless, who v i8 charged, a man of Do Decuniary responsibility, aud who was acting as agent for Lewis and Trude. The mortgage demandsd that the sale shonld bs for cash, but Hoodless ouly had about £2,100 in cash, and execated his notes for 35,540, and also gave back a chattel-mortgage on part of the property to secure them. He then removed the business and editorial officea of - the paper to the southeast cornerof Randolph and State streets, whence the papers are issued under the nominal name of G. L. Hood- less, It is. however, alleged that Lewis really controls the _papers yet, and that & relation of his is stiil cashier, and receiv- ing remittances for subscription or advertising. Lewis aud Hoodless are also endeavoring to sell the large stesm boiler, printing-press, and ap- purtenances coversd by the mortgage, and are 1ntending to remove the publications from the State, 80 toat they cannot be scized by the cred- itors. 1Itis further charged that, at the time of the pretended sale, Lewis was receiving from #200 to $400 & day from the papers, and has been in the receipt of that amount on an aver- age to the present time. Also that, a few weeks prior to this fraudulent sale, that ho had bought from 81,200 to 31,500 of new type, which was not included in the mortgage, but which was frauduiently sold by Frude under the mortgage powers, and yet it is in possession of Lewis. The petitioners therefore ask that Lewis, Trude, and Hoodless may be restrained from in any manner eelling or disposing of, incumber- ing, or removing the property §0 pretended to bave been sold by Trunde Jan. 28, that Trude may be restrained from disposing of the note for $15,000 and mortgaga securing it, and that they all may be compelled to give an account of sll oneys received by them, and of the proper- ty of Lewis in their possession. An injunction was issued by Judge Blodgett as asked. e POLITICAL. BEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS. A special meeting of the Republican Club of the Seventh Ward was held at No. 530 Blue Island avenue last ovening, to perfect organiza- tion and appoint delegates from the Club to the Central Club. Henry Valk, the President, called the meeting to order, and announced the first business to be the signing of the Constitution. To this the response was general, about tlurty names being added to the membership. ’ The following were elected members of the Execative Committee: John Vauderpool, Jr., V. Fitecher, Adolph Westphal, F. Fusik, C. Alkin, Jacob Erpelding, and Karl Kasparck. The fol- lowing were chosen Vice-Presidents: A. 0. Mil- lard, C. Tegtmeyer, A. Kakuska, and C. Land- giedel. C. Tegtmeyer and John Vanderpool, Sr., were elected delegates to the Central Club. The following preamble and resolutions, ad- dressed to the Common Council, were read and 1aid over for the action of the next meeting: W Our Mayor's term having expired Last fall, and our courts being unable to decide whether he is the rightful incumtent or not; and WaEREss, The early decision of the courts may cause the people considerable trouble by declaring his official acts null and void; and WuEREAs, The wishes of the people are always fore- most in the hearts of our representatives; thereforo be it Resolted, That we, a8 the Seventh Ward Republican Ciub, would respectiully ask you, as having suthority, £0 call en election for Mayor at our April election. Reaoleed, Thot s committes of two be appointed to present the same to the Common Council at its next meeting. After the transaction of some other unim- portant business the Executive Commitiee was authorized to make arrangements for a ball for future meetiogs, after which the Clab adjourn- ed nntil Tuesday ovening. e THE CITY-HALL. Water-rents yesterday were $1,785, and re- ceipts from the City Collector $17,876. Mike Ervans handed in $25,000. The City Collector amassed the sum of $1,300 yesterday. Nothing further has been done with the banks, and will not be till the in- junctious on the collection of the 1871 tax have been dissolved. Mike Evans took in about 30,000 yesterday without the need of levies, He ha paid during the week $75,000 to the City Treasurer and $20,~ estate is due, aud persons desirous of saving 2 per cent thereon shounld pay during the month of February. The indictment of Hildreth and Cullerton made a stir at City Headquarters, Nearly the whole Council was present in the morning to talk the matter over, while many others watted to catch a glimpse of two whisky ‘men. The 1ndicted ones appeared 88 if nothing had happened, aud do not yeem &t sli doudtfal of proving their ivnocence. In that opinion most of their colleagues ngree with them. The Board of Public Works had a talk yester- day with the owners of the patent smoke-con- sumers which have lately been under test in the Water-Works in regard to ndopting the patent permanently. Much was esid on both sides, and the Board are svxious to adopt the inven- tion if 1t be proved as nseful and economizing s the owners endeavor to show. The question will be thooght of and further investigated. Tho regulat. meetiag of tat. Oh eeting of the Chicago Public Library Board was belda t their moms“yemxduy lflaml;ulx;.

After a long and earnest debate, this re- port was submitied to the deliberations of the President of the Board, and the Chairmen of each of the several Committees. Tnspector Onahau introduced a resolution to the effect that it wasthe nnanimous sense of the Library Board that an appropriation of $50.! Tor the current year was essential and necessary to tho proper maintenance xnd support of the Li- brary. This was unapimously carried, and it was resoived to appoint the President angd the Fi- nance Committes to lay this resolation, and the Library's need of such an lppmpnulmn, before the proper city officials. Adjourned. TUE CITY PRINTING. uabble for the city printing has been The if raging but mildly duriog the past week, and especially so fsr as tho Infer- Occan is concerned. Its manugers have put themselves on their digoity, 2od by insinu- ating that they have done enough for the cor- poration and present administration to make their claims much botter than they ever could bo by entering into any ‘button-holing competition 000 to the County Treasurer. The tax on real" with othor aspirauts. This will bardly hold among the Aldgxmen. for in tho first place they are altogether_ too indopendent and saucy £o re- member any kindnesses done by a paper, and in the second place the Courier has offered too great inducements for them to adopt its low fig- tires. The Post and Mail remains quiet, seldom making any strikes for popularity, while the little Bourbon bummer, the Courier, has it3 minions around headquarters by day and by night solicting votes. The inler-Ocean claims to have a sufficient number of votea slready pledged to it, but this statement is bardly coun- tenanced. The Courier certaiuly gave the low- @st bid, and i3 reasonably entitiod to the con- tract, wera 1t not for the fact thatitis so frail a concarp that it may fail at any moment. ‘'he contract and titte of City Printer, however, in- volves nothing, and if the sheet should fail the city would luse nothing, but wonld be obliged to readvertise and relet tho job. A most serious objection to the Courier—that it has not euough circulation for a City Printer—is bardly coun- tenaneed by the Aldermon, for tho reason that they believe the printing of Council proccedings, except 1o 8 _pamphlet form, an expensive and unwarranted luxury. What end the matter will have it is impossible to predict, but the fight avpears to be entirely between the Post and Mail and the Courier, with the odds greatly in Tavor of tha latter. The fricnds of the Jnfer- Ocean aro thooght to have thrown overboard at the last meeting their only chance of pulling through. —— ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The North Town Collector reports £3,000 as his gross receipts for the past week. The Hon. W. W. O'Brien is mentioned ag the Democratic candidate for State’s Attorney. Hia more ardent admirers, bowever, name him for Governor. O'Brien and Kehos! Think of it! The salaries of the engineers at the new hos- ital wero considered again yesterday by the ospital Committee. A motion to fix them at £1,400 per year waslost, and the question is lef: where it was. The Connty Collector yesterday pounced down on Cbarles Miehle. who keeps s saloon under the Sherman House, for his personal tax for 1874, smounting to ¥45. In the absence of any money, lie took charge of a billiard table, upon which he hopes to realize at an early day. e CRIMINAL. Anowner is wanted at the Madison Street Sta- tion for a brown empress-cloth dress and o set of false teeth, which Officer Hogan took from James Holmes, & thief, Charles Fendt was yesterday held to bail in bouas of 3500 for further appearance before Justice Haines to answer to the charge of as- sanlting Emanuel Aronstein with a deadly weap- on with ictent to do bodily harm. L Henry F. Scheidemann, living at 749 West Lake etreet, opened s letter yesterday which be- louged to anosher party. Forthis trifling indis- cretion he was bronght before Commissioner ‘Hosne, and held in $500 bail to asgit the action of the Grand Jury. Louis Lubenstein, a sausage-dealer at No. 27 Canal street, was set upon by thres men about 7 o'clock 1ast evening, at the corner of Peoria and Lake streets, and a robbery attempted. He drop~ Ped his load of minced meat and yelled murder 80 emphatically that the men fled. Officer Killcrane discovered Charles Brown last evening etaggering along Washington ?gsetjnen.hnl.ha ne:ggc uo;f less than a ton of 2ad pipe. He assis! 6 weary wayfarer with his 10ad to the Madison Suuc‘é{nfiom when he was assigned to rest and & bunk. there being a suspicion that ho possessed no legal title to tne freight. A Jako Mathews came to the city 2 short time ago s stranger, sod Matthew Yost took him in. Alzor availing himself of tho hospitality of his room on Division street for & season, bo ropaid his benefactor by stealing and pawning an overcoat belonging to the host. He was arrcated last evening for the crime, and will plead before Kaufmann to-morrow. John Diers’ saloon, at No. 915 State streot, was the scene of an affray yesterday afternoon, snd that it-did not resulc in murder was due chiefly to accident. Abont 5 _o'clock two men John Fitzpatrick and Henry Fidelki, employed in the stables of the Citv Railway Company, met in the saloon, and became involved in a disputo regarding some trivial matters. From words they proceeded to blows, and during the en- connter Fitzpatrick,apprehending defeat, drew a pocket-knife and plunged it into Fidelki, intlict- ing a serios of dangerous stabs about the head and shoulders. The bystanders succoeded in separating the antagonists beforo any fatal stab had beon given, and sent Fidelki to his boarding- house, No. 20 Archer avenue, where & physician dressed his wounds and pronounced them of a serious character. Fitzpatrick wos arrested. SEmge SUBURBAN. BYDE PARE. The suburban passengers who are obliged to take the Tllinois Central trains st the Gentral Station, arealong-sufferingclass of people. but ni weather like that of the past week they are some- what disposed toinquire whether the railroad com- pany cannot give them & passagewsy to the train without making them wade through 6 or 7 inches ofmud. Icmeybo impossible to give them a decent depot, bnt at loast the filthy slime at the foot of Randolph street might be cleaned off once or twice a day, 60 0s to eonble ladiee to reach the train without going ankle-deep in mud. Osk strect. from tho railroad nearly to the lake, hau been a sheet of water during most of the week, and while as a thoroughfare the street has been practically useless, the residents on that frontage have been considering the practi- cability of fish culturo on a large scale. Thore is s fine sewer on Oak street too, but the street was graded 8o far below the level of the surface con-~ nection pipes as to make thom available about the timo the water in tho etreet risee to 8 height which would endanger the lives of small chu- dren in the vicinity. There are s number of boys in Hyde Park who frequently violate the village ordinances by shooting within the limits aud around the parks. So incessant was their practice of shoot- ing small birds last fall that the number of these little visitors was perceptibly diminished. Lately they have taken to shooting tame pigeons whenever and wherever they can get a shot at them, and it is no unusual thing for clothing hanging out to dry to be pecforated by shot. On the Iake-frout especially the practice has be- come exceedingly annoying, and unless the pa- rents rostrain theso juvenile Numrods, the police will be called upon to enforce the villags ordi- nances. e e CASUALTIES. FELL THROUGH A HATCHWAY.

The Former Based on Numbers, the Latter on Intelligence. How They Manage Things in Londons Paris, and Berlin. And How They Mismanage Them Just Now in Ohicago. The Duty of Good Men at the Present Crisis. The Fourth Ward Republican Club met last evening at No. 960 Wabash avenue. In the ab- sence of the President, Mr. A. J. Gallowsy took the chair. The Committes appointed to consider the question of appointing delegates to the Central Committee was given one week longer to make their report. The Club then listened to an address from Jo- seph Medill on MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT IN EUROPE. In beginning, Mr. Medill said that he acknowl- odged the receipt of the invitation of the Clab to be present at that meoting, and make a little informal talk about the con- duct of city governments in Europe, as he saw it when abroad. What he had to say he would say in a free and conversational manner, rather than in the way of a set speech. With this introduction, ho went on to esy that what the gentlemen present most wanted to know was, no doabt, whether he had seen anything in European municipal government worth adopt- ing. A mere dry detail of the varions modes of government would have no value unless they could bo applied in the way of comparison to those in our own country. He had found it very difficult to discover really what the systems of government in Europe was,—in fact, they had 1o real system, even in their National Govern~ ments. Their systems, such as they were, were very ancient, that of London being eighteen couturies old. There was a sort of municipal system existing when the TRomans con- quered the island, and the Romans eatablished city governments wherever they went. In many respects they had remained un- changed since. He had found, also, in France the same atate of affairs, There the provincial cities claimed charters from the old feudal rulers, and, being still primitive, they could not be easily compared with the municipal govern- ments of America. There was hardly a thing in all the Europesn methods that he could recog- nize as similar to what he had before known. He became early discouraged in his investiga- tions, 28 he discovered that there was NOTHING WHICE COULD BE TAKEN AND INCORPO- BATED inour American system. Our idea was that power abides in and springs from bodies of voters—taking in the entire mass of population, esen to the psnpers in the poor-house. Our governments were not, therefors, founded on educational, property; nationality, or clags quali- fications, but on numbers. They might ba the ‘most ignorant of people, but it made no differ- ence. Our systom embraced the immoral, the reckless classes. There was nothing of that kind known abroad. You might search from Cork, where you first land, to Ruesia and you would find nothing of this kind in any theory of government. LOOE AT LONDOY, the chief city of the world in point of numbers, and wealth, and impor:ance, and power.—a city that coataing more than four millions of souls, & grester number than was ever brought under s municipal rule. Thespeaker had commenced, after being thers a few weeks, to study the City Government. He had tound first that London proper was only a little settlement in the eastern part of the city, similar in proportion to the whole 83 one of our wards to the whole of Chi- eago. There were only 75,000 people living in it at present, though 400,000 inhabited it through the day, it_bemng composed of banks, hotels, shipping offices, the Mansion House, and & wall, So much for London. It was. THE ORIGINAL LONDOX. Occupying only 450 acres of ground, it was littlo changed from what it was when William the Conqueror came into_the city over London Pridge. For the past eight or niae centuries it bad remained the same. In that little city he had found » Board of twenty-five Aldermen and 205 Councilmen. The Mayor was elected by the Aldermen. The Aldermen wers elacted for life, and the electors were only the ‘men who paid a tax of £10 per aonum. There were twenty-five wards, each_electing an Alderman. Each ward was divided into sight or nine precincts, each electing a Councilman. ;The Aldermen were electec for life, and they electad each year two men for Sheriffs, & senior and a junior. Out of the Aldermen the Aayor was elected, being genarally one of the oldest mem- bers. His period of office seldom lasted more than & year, ouly five or six Mayors having been re-elected eince the timo of the Conqueror. The duoties of the Mayor were, in part, to try police cages, such as dronkenness, Wife-beating, stesl- ing, etc. He had no power to pardon out of the Dridewell, that being vested in tho Queen. His principal duty, however. was to preside over the Board of Aldermen, and pre- side on State occasions, such as annual dinners and great celebrations. The Aldermen were also Police Magistrates, the Alayor being the senior ono. They had a very limited power of levying taxes. The 206 Councilmen did not geem to bave any particular power. THE REVENUE wag obtained from fines, dnties, imposts, and & small tax on the rental value of real property. For instance, there was the fuel tax, 13 pennies on every ton of coal brought iuto the city proper. There was also s _tounage tax on sll shipping passing up and down the river. Also amalt tax on the public houses. Thero was a tax on fish, ealf, and oil The whole revenue amonnted to £100,000, or $2,009,000, a year. With this they kept the bridgesin order and paid the salaries of the police and all other expenses. Tha guilds of 0ld London were priv- ileged companies of curiouscharactor. - Forin- stance, there was the Tailors’ Guiid. similar in .some respects to the Trade Unions of this coun- try. Their only nse seemed to be to havo anan- pual dioner, over which the Lord Mayor pre- sided. So, also, the fishmongers, the builders, aggmnthar trados and occupations had their dilds. & 1t could be seen, then, that there was no sim- ilarity hotweon London and Cbicago. Outside of the city proper was the great metropolis of London, extending a8 far a8 from Evanston to Hyde Park. OUTER LONDOY, embracing millions of people, had no muaicipal government, 8o to speak. ‘'hat portion compos- 1ug more than nineteen-twentieths of the popu- lation were governed by Boards appointed by the Queen and her Cabinet. The Police Board took in an ares of 100 square miles and 2,000,000 people. The polica force numbered, when the speaker was there, 11,000 men. It was governed by the Cabinet, and paid out of the Treasury. The policemen wore paid about £1 108 a weok, and were given two suits of clothes annuslly. The Police Board had control of all ontside of the old town. Thore was also the Board of Public Works. They controlled a still larger territory than the police. There was a Board of Charisies, having & general rupervision of the paupers of London, numbering 100,000. Then they had & echool sys- tem, and that was tho only one where the offi- cers were elected by popular vote. The town way dividod into districts, and any men and woman who paid taxes had avote. Each dis- trict was a8 large 88 Chicago, and elected a mem- ber of the Board. Edacation was compaisory. The gas and water of London were furnished by companies outside of the city government, General expenses were paid partially out of the treasury and partizily by 3 TAXATION. They did not appraise property ss is done here. People were taxed on the rental value of their property. They never valued the capital invested, but made uniform nsseesments on the income received. They never entered a house as they did here aad assessed each article of farvitare, but they looked at & house aud guessed at what it would rent for, and the tax would be somuch & pound. Thetax cameoutof the rent. The tax was on the incoms oniy, exemp- tions beiog at present as high as 2101, The speaker had found that for ail purposes tho entire tax paid by each citizen was not one-sixth ot whnat the Chicago man pays. The heaviest taxed city that the speaker had found was Paris, TAKING PARIS a8 tho specimen ity of France, he had found that there the Governmont wasmore centralized. ‘The Mayors were appointed by the Government, and the Prefect also. ‘Lhe office of Prefect wag scmething like that of Sheriff, only it ranked above that of Mavor. Paris was divided into twenty districts, each having & Mayor and a Council. Over Paris they had ons man, called the Prefect of the Seine, who con- trolled the Mayors and Councils. They had aiso Boards of Education, Police, etc., but the pow- er was contralized, . They had what were called Octroi duties. The city was_surrounded by a wall having eight gates, Noman could enter the wall with mer- chandise without paying a tax. Eggs, chickens, flour, and everthing, paid a tax according to the estimated value of the articles. The tax amount~ ed from this source to $£24,000,000. They had taxes also on the sale of liquors, and all kinds of produce. They also taxed the rental of the property. It was, all in al, a fearfully taxed city. The City Government waa very expensive, and tho Parisians had also to pay & large share of the war indemnity to the Germans. The annual taxes amounted in all to 50,000,000 or £60,000,00, yet it was a rich city, for all the world went there to spend money. The third city that he would refer to was BERLIN. He found it more democratic than thy others. The Council consisted of two bodies. For the Upper House the Aldermen were elected by bal- lot, each voter having a number of votes, ac- cording as he paid taxes. The Upper House olocted the Mayor, who held ofice only one year. At the same time the Na- tional Government interfered 8o much with the Council that no comparison conld he instituted with our system. The Fire De- partment was made up from the army. The police also were old soldiers relieved from active Bervice. The schools were run under the super- vision of Goyvernment. Everythiog was central- ized and responsible to Parliament. The old City of Borlin had an old_charter, bat nothing that included the whole city. Those were the three methods of municipal government that he had inspected in Europe. To Italy they bad nothing that was practicable for American sdoption. One observation, how- ever, could be made, aud that was that in all the municipal governments of Europe, the cities were GOVERNED BY THE EDUCATED CLASS, That was the distinguishing feature after all. The American system was entirely unknown. Such a thing a8 & bummer was unheard of. There was no clsss similar to our tax-eaters. We had broneht that into & ecience in this coun- try. We epent in this city between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 a year, and in the county from 7,000,000 to £8,000,000. Dividing thatup, it gave amplgiment to 6,000 or 8,000 wen. How were they chosen? They were elected by force of pumbers. They were generally men who did not want any other employment. The men who sought office were those who wanted no other employment. ‘There bad grown up in this country a band of men work- ing together to proy upon the people. They were unable and upwilling tosupport themselves by productive labor. The mass of our people were basily engrossed in honorable labor, while their Government was being run by a set of men HALF PAUPER AND HALF BUZZARD, and who were banded together to keep them- se]ves in power. Each man had his cronies, hig brother pickpockets, and brother rascals, and it was the easiest way for them to earn a living in the city. The stuffed ballot-boxes forced charters npon the people that were never adopted. They sent men out to levy taxes. They put light taxes on their friends, and on all men who had property they levied blackmail. The men who_were realiy responsible were the men who allowed them to steal in the face of our Government and laws. The nation had entered upon its centennial year, and under disconraging suspices. One hundred years ago we had a good Government, but we had allowed it to be taken away. Ameri- ean affairs were being _GOVERNED BY IGNOBANCE and depravity instead of education and respect~ ability. The evil was growing, and unless it was crushed, God help the country! To-day our great danger lay in_the rotrenness of Municipal Government. In Italy Municipal Government lived where the National Government had de- cayed, and they kept the light of liberty burn- ing. Long after the National Government bad failed, the City Government maintained its purity. Our city, considered in relation to 1ts wealth, whson the road to desolation, going from bad to worse. Every man in the sudience with gray hairs could eee the terrible deterior: that had taken place in City Government wi hia recollection. 1o Now York they had a debt of $140,000,000. Yet that city was only three times as largeas Chicago, and already that amount represented a third of the value of taxable property. Philadelphia was following in the same road. Boston was not far behind. Nuow Orleans and St. Louis were full of the sawe CRIMINAL NEWS, Rubenstein, the Brooklyn derer, Sentenced to Hanged.

The robbery was not committed on Tues. day nignt, but Wednesday morning. The vault has three doors, and no one of the bank officers can unlock them all. Packer’s door was the outside one, and when he left the bank oz Tuesday afterncon looked his door only. Itir supposed he was first at the bank Wednesday morning. He pereistently asserts that he had no préconcerted purpose of taking the money, and the crime was the result of a sudden and irresistible impulse. A bond for 2130 was missed a month azo, and Packs is supposed to have appropriated it, but he stoutly denies it. Sympathy fou Packer is veryestrong on acconnt of his previons excellent character, and in view of the fact thal he bas & young wife and two children. Hi3 ags is not over 25.

POTTSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 12.—The hearing in tht habeas corpus cases of the men recently arrested for the murder of Policemen Yost was beguy this morning.

Jones, and whose confession implicated elements of destruction. The taxes of Chicago were dreadful when one thought of it. There way nothing like it in Europe, except in the case of Pans. . HOW TO TOP IT. That, said the speaker, was too deep and vast & subject to be entered mpon that even- ing. There were many ways to cure the evil, Sowething could be done by Grand Juries, aod prosecuting attorneye, and the Citizens’ Associa- tion. Buc the property class, tire honest class, and all thoss who are in favor of good govern- ment, must come forward at the crisis. Ths bold robbers lookod you in the face when you remonstrated, and nsked what wers you going to do. They could defame vou, and 1f you try to do anything, they get appoint- ed on the Grand Jury and prevent indictment. Eternal vigilance was the price of liberty, and all the people before the speaker could do would be to enliss every respectable, God-fearing man in the ward in a band, to make stern and bitter war upon the thieves. Let them go to every ward in the city, and fight the thieves at the Spllg a8 they would the foe, or rather the incen- iaries and burglars, for they were all the same. The villains, the class who had immunity from crime, were with them. The whole city was banded together ; the fight must be continued. The best government was. that which was best administered. If men in Chicago did their duty they could SEGURE GOOD GOVERNMENT under any charter. Itis not power or form of words, a charter, or any reatriction in law, that could save. Thioves would break thrcugh and steal. Every man must act intellizently, Tho only advice he could give was tbat the intelli- gence and education and honeaty of Chicago ;xuxte against the depraved classes in self-de- enso. _The speaker was satisfied of one thing to be- pin with. They must act together as a party. They had tried Citizens’ tickets, Independent tickets, and a bost of others, but they didn't work. If the Republicans of Chicago were una- ble to get into power now. he wanted the Democ- racy to tske it,—not the People’s party. Then, if there was bad government, there would be some one to hald responsible. At present no ome was responsible, except a set of bankrupt thieves. NEXT SPRING let the twenty Republi:an clubs in. this city unito and pat their best men on the ticket. Let them select them s they would men for their own private business, as a man would his em- ployes, a8 & citizon _his partner, and then chal- lengo the Democratic party to pat a better ticket in the field. When one of these tickets was elected, the men of property and intelligence would have some voice in tho government of Chicago. It was 8 good desl cheaper to support hummers and scoundrels in the Poor-House and _Joil than in office. They would put the decent men there if sucha method was not adopted. It was a strugele for life, and unless the peopie looked out, their acts would go down to posterity 8 a magnificent at- temt to secure good government, but a failure for,want of hounest, persistent labor. At the conclusion of his remarks a unanimons vote of thanks was tendered to Alr.
