To the Bditor of The Chicago Tribune: Cmcaco, Aprll 9.—Pormit me to roply to your editorial of this morning upon the subject of township organization, Tho statement it con- taing, that I bave undortaken to render tho Town officora a gorvico, is cntirely without foun- dation. As you aro mo doubt aware, {t has boan elaimed for tvoor throo years that towuship or- gaoization was abolishied in Cook County by Soc. 7, Att. 10, of tho Conatitution of Illinais, That goction isasfollowa : **Tho county affairs of Cook County ehsll bo mausged by a Board of Com- missloners of Gftoon persous, ton of whom shall bo eclected from the City of Chicago and five from the towns outside of maid city, in such mannor ag may be provided by law.” fTho Bupromo Court, nt its Iast Boptembor aes- slon, decidod that townahip organization was not abollebod in this county. Thoro eooma to bo an almost univorsnl desire npon the part of the peoplo of thia city to abol- sk town ortz’nnlznuou in this county fu the mode dosignatad by law, namely, by presenting to the Couuty Board a patition, duly signed, ror}uuutlug tnem to enbmit tho quaestion to tho people of tho ontiro county at tho noxt fall elootion, and tho Board's submitting it 1t township organization shonld be abolished, thio Bherilf of tho county becomea the Colloctor of tho taxcs, and the County ‘I'rensurer becomes tho Asscssor, Inu tho country towna throughout {he county the desiro to retain towuship orgauization, 80 far a8 I have been informed by prominent citi- s:oos from the country, is ns universnl as is tho desire in tho city to abolish it, There 18 n di- versity of opinion aong prominent members of tho legal profossion a3 to whother tawnship crganization can bo abolishod in Cook County, by reason of tho foregoing constitu- vonal provision. If the attempt is wado to aholieh 1t noxt fall, and tho warrants for the oallection of the rovonuo are delivorad to tho Bnorlfl, it s vory clear that tho colleotion of that rovenue will depend outire- 1y upon the flnal dotormiuation by ({l Bupreme Court of the question of our power to abolish township organization, and if that de- cision sbould be adverso to tha power, the reve onna cannot Lo colloctod, Tuatoad of oxpressing an opinlon upon this queation, as you foom to think 1bave, [ Lave rald tn membors of the County Boord, when thoy buvo consultod mo upon the subject, that inas- nach as this doubt oxists in tho minds of law- vers of ncknowledged ability, and ingsmuch ns tho law was not porfectly clear, I thought it tho a1te courso to havo tho potition presontod to tha 15 srd ot an esrly day, for the Board, ns n more matlor of form, declinve to cail an cloc- tin, and then ot the mext June ecenlon of tho Bupreme Court let an application La mado for o mandamus, upon &y agreod caso, vlien the entire matter can bo ndjudicatod, as 1t caa and would bo in amplo time to permit sub- mitting tho quostion to the poaple at the fall olection, if tho Bupromo Court should doaide It coild bo dono. We would thon have a docision f tho Supromo Court upon the subject, and the ca'lection of the revenue next yoar would be suved from pertl. It seoms to me that evory prudent citizon will at once soo the proprioty aud wisdom of such & courao of procaoding. U'loro is not in my opinton any practical ne- cetaity for township organization witbin the li.ita of Obicago, nor have I thio least desiro to perpotuato 1t, your editorinl to tho contrary notwithstanding, I do not believe the County Jourd bas tho lonst doeiro to thwart tho will of tie peopla upon this aubject. Yours, atc., Jony M. ROUNTREE, After tho recoption of the abovo leitor from Mr, Rountroo, a roporter called upon him, aud bo inade the following additious! slatoment : llo sntd if it shonld be concluded to be tradent to hava the Bapromo Court dotor nure in advance whothor towuship organization could bo abolished fu Cook County, and thoreby #ecire the colleetion of the rovenuo, ho would ndvise tho moaking of an agrood caso, at the least possible expenso and without dolay, so that tho Court might dotermino thio qucstion at it June scaion nt Mount Vernon. In order to do go, it would bo necessary, ho said, and he wonld advise, the proparation” and presentation of a vatition, signod Ly tho roquitite numbor of the legal votors of the county, to tho County Board within tho mnext fow weeka, Ho'had no disposition to rosist tho ap- vlieation for a mandamus, as suits aro ordinarily yeeistod, but would bo willing for the Bupremo Caourt to docide tho guestion without argument, 1f it would do so. Mo believod, however, that tho application for » mandamus would be op- pocod by aomo of tho citizens of the country . tawaou, whero township orgemzation was regarded in o moro favorablo light, and 1n somd instances 23 & noceasity. e THE SOUTH TOWN FRAUD, DECIDEDLY REFREBHING is Dave Thoruton's explanation made o & re porter, Thoruton, who was solected by the ballot-box Btuffors as tho fittest man of them all to do tho work, sud by them was shouluored in » Modarator of tho Houth Town meeting to do it, who himsolt from tho atart and throughout the wholo rascally buslness was o fraud, placidly admits that ho “thiukn® thore were frauds in tho elootion, Ilo.adda that he bad nothing to do with thom. ‘Cbat, of courss, waato Lo expected. It I8 luvariably tho plea of tho chief scoundrol who bed' moat to do with the pepsteation of wuch infamies, that ho ‘‘had nothing to do with it.” But what wero he and Glaason doing in the safe contaiuing tho ballpt- Loxes at 1 o'clock in the night? lie does dob explain that mysterious trausaction.

Upon maturer roflectlon a number of Repub- lican Joaders havo como to tho concluslon that tho Republican Convention dovoted too much timo to debato concerning tho delogatioas which the bummor elomont attompted to palm off upon thom, -and too little timo to the discussion of the monta of tho several candi- datos. Tho tlckot is concoded to be a very weak ono in various respocts. The Campaign Com- mittes, which maots this morning, will attompt to forca tho rosiguation of two of the principal candidates, Olark Lipo and Caspar Butz. Tho first is excosdiogly objactionsble to alarge closs of Ropublicans, and tho second has a checkared political record, and politica must be as flcklo as summor broozes it he now protends to be a Republican. Theso sentiments found vent yoatorday in a consultation botween Ropublican leaders held nt tho Polmer House, st the hoad of which movemont the name of T.oonard Bwett appoars pasticularly prominent. At this consultation thoro was o diversity of opinion as to tho bost courso to pursuo, Some thought that a now ticket oatirely, Mayor, city ofiicers, and Aldermen, sbould be nominated at tho moss-mooting to bo lold at the Exposition Luilding, but wisor heads predominated, snd advocated tho nomination of a Mayor only, on tho ground that the Campaign Committos was capablo of cousidoring and sot- thng all objections to candidates for city olfices, while the Republican voters in the varions warda could toll best at the polla whom thoy wanted for Aldermen. The latter opinion appears to provail, and at tho Tuesday ovening grand mass-meoting it 18 talked of puttlog Thomas Hoyue on iho ticket a8 o candidate for Aldorman from tho Seo- ond Ward, with tho underatauding that, aftor ths new Council convencs, he shall bo elestod to tho vacancy caused by tho grand bouncing which will bo given the Protonder to the ofiice, Harvey D, Colvin. Tho Demacratic Convention paseed a rosolu- tion levoloa directly at Colvin's head, and in it rocommended to the Republicana tho pame of Mr. Hoyno ss n jaint candidats for Mayor, and Lenco the Democratio Campaign Committoa will bo in duty bound to reapect tho vote of the Couvontion, in placing Mr. Hoyne on their ticket under the same understanding as tbat which will place him upon the Republicau tickot. To iske tho placa of Olark Lipe, no prominont nome has yot boen proposed, but plenty ore to be found whon the time comod, Ly somo it bss boen suggosted that tho Democratio nominso, ir. Brigis, be placed upon tho ticket, and tue only objection to this move appears to be (hat suoha’ combination would substautinlly be an ovorthrow of the Ro- publican party,—Excoutivo Committee, ward clubs, snd all—and & blending togothor of tho bost elomonts of DLoth partios in au honcst, upright, anti-ballat-box-stufiug, Re« form tickot, designed to affectually holst Colvin an} his crew into very thin nir. 'Tho objections to Mr. Butz will probably take faily as virulent o form, but who the pow nomince will bo fa yot unkuown. Both changes will be brooght betore the Ropublican Campaign Uommittos at their meoting this morning, and, it 18 said, thio most sousible thing that will bo proposed ot the meuting will bo to submit tho mattor to the Exposition Building meas-moeting. Hogardivg Aldormeu, it ia thought bost to place tho ward nominees only on the ticket, with tho possible oxception of such namluces a8 were solected by fraudulont vatos at tho primasios. Anothor oxcollent move that has becn sug- goated to bo placed beforo tho grand madi- wmooting {8 tho nomiuation of an eutirely new ticket ‘for tho Bouth 'own officos, selectod equally from tho very choicest men m both partied, aud & formal domand, fu tho namo of a lang-suffering Chicago publie, upon the so- olsimed clectoos to resign aud forfelt all claims upon thewr varfous oftices. Buch s move, if mado in good faith Dby both par- ties, could not fail to rosult in ‘tho fullest harmony and_tho greatest msatis- faction to tax-payors, and it is bolieved that the bummers who wrougly clalm that they were clected would stccumb to the pressure,—in other words, tliey would rathor resign thnn allow the continued publication and horalding to the waorld of tho dishionest namo they boar. —_—— PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
