The banks, he thought, in thls aty would now come forward and help, because It was thoir intercsl to sus- tain Chicago’'s crodit at home, This city was not badly off financially, becauso it has more to show for its indebtedness than any othoer in tho county, Tho water-works, which wero really an investment ; her perfect system of nowers and other improvomonta, all wers thingy of which our citizens could be proud.

It will take some timo 1o communicate with tho gentlomon who may bo tho first choion of the Committoe of Three, sud to learn 1f 1t wilt be convenient for them to give their time to the work. Though it is desmea ancortait that tho Commission has anv vital work to do, yot tho detormination is to make an active workiug body of it to moeot soy possiblo emergonoy. . The Rev. r. L.

Ho had enclosed the Commit- to0's aard to naveral persons aupposcd to know sometbing of tho csse, and had received no soswer whatever. Mr. Btono ‘had given notice to Mra.

Bowen of the wishos of tho Committco, bat 8o far ao ho know had rocolvod no satlsfac- tory answer, Ha had given up sll expectation of golting suy evidenco, Prof Bmsth, of the Antlovor Theological Sominary, had sald thero wero several persous who would testify beforo tho Mutnal Congregational Council. The mem- bora of the Committon bad writlen to Lrof. Bmyth to mend thom the namos of thoso per- nans, bat he had not respouded. Wo thought Tlymouth Church had taken a wise step in seling that tho Commission bo coostituted, and that in doing ®o it bad dowe all that courtesy to the Advisory Council demandod, He thougnt it very doubtfal, nnd the lenllug of doubt grew upon him. if any evidonce wonid bo broughit before the Comumniualoa, At onotime, Dr. Hobart said, be bad coufidenco that there was unlieard testimony pertainiug to the cade, DBut his falth was wenkened daily, aud if at tho end of thirtv days no one appearod before the In- veutigating “Commussion with charges aud sup- pamni‘mclmany. he thought Plymouth Church wonid have good grunnds for claimivg lasting poace, unless, indeed, somobody snould como forward aud claim to bave important testimony, bot at tho same timo rofuso to lay It Lefore tho Commission boeauso of objection to its compo- sition. 1n such an event ho thought I'ymouth Churol mlight, without disrospect to tho Ad- visory Council, acospt any other mothod of in- vestization which promised to bring out all tho facts, Ho thought the Commission would provo a falluro from the no oxistonce of furthor testimony, put it sway yot possiblo thas porsond were waiting to soe if tha men chosen for tho Commission wora suoh as would sfford perfect fairness aud vomwmsnd publio confidence, [n his opinion, auy five out of tha twenty placed at the disposal of the Com- mittoo of Throo ought to socure fairness and confldence.
