A Model Speech and Some Choice Rhet- oric from the Great Usarper. fhree German Aldermen of the North Side Denonnced by a Crowd of Bummneers, AT TOE CITY-HALL. QUIET. The sudience around the City-Hall yesterday was bardly up to grade in number. It be- fokened s falling off in the popular intcrest in the farce now being presented by the Colvin- Hidreth combination, and indicated that the waning popularity of the actors was the result of utter lack of merit. The day itself wasa wait between the acts,—ihe twenty minutes givon o the young man who would £o out after offee. Thus looked at it was a success, for from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the throng’ of disap- pointed sigbt-seers crossed and recrossed Ad- ams street, coming back each time moister than they went. Tnferest or event there was none. When one }ad gone into Colvin’s rooms and looked at his empty chair he began to give up hope of & rows; and when be came back from seeing Mayor Hoyne chatting glibly in his domain, he was struck with despair of 3 sensation, and generally went gway home. Even the armed authority at the ex-Mayor's door was gone, and the Council Chamber entrance no longer furnished an excuse for police lounging. There was only one active thing in connection with the whole Mayor busi- ness, and that was the reporter,—cspecfally him of the evening paper who went about mald potes in a deswltory and furtive manner. contemplative gentleman who marked bis con- clusions on a blank wall while resting, showed the writeralist of twenty-six names of reporters who had, he ssid, already asked him after the news. THE EX-MATOR'S QUARTERS were mainly deserted during the morning, and the big wan who pretendzd to have 2 right to them Wwa$ mainly on the move. He &pent an bour or more in the Comptroller’s room con- sulting over the troubles of his hold-over ‘brother, the Collector, and then put in a good deal of time with his lawvers until, after the common _dinner-hour, Phil Conley cune in and made 8 liquid sugrestion that carried the ex- Mavor away with him like a ehot. The populous part of the Building was THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE amd the committee-room at the back thereof. Here were gathered a large number of the par- tidpants — in the matter of the Mayoralty, and constant coming and poirg kept o comfortable crowd —always on hand. After about 10 o’clock, the hour at which the Afavor came down, he Was constantl; besieged with talk, and good advice_poure down upon him in basketfuls. - But all these thlhn]gs moved him not, and he sat through it all Dobly. If there ever was a_happy man in the world, that man was Mark Sheri Hewas entirely in kis clement, though fading a little at the idea that perhaps there might not &2 any fight after all,—a consummation devoutly prayed against by the pu?"mfious soul of Colvin’s most unrelent- ing " foe. Frequent deep cousultations 00k Vetween the gentiewen g\s&nh and, though they could nct part the result at once, they promised that after a little somcthing should be given out that would have an cfect on the general subject. After much waiting about, the press was put in poesession of THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT: MaTOR'S OFFICE, CHICAGO, May 12.—DEAR St Iam informed by the City Clerk that you have been furnished with & copy of the resolntions of the City Couneil adopted on the 9th inst., declar- Ing that 1 have been duly clected and gualified Meyor of the City of Chicage, and requiring the varions depsrtments of the City Government to recognize me as Mayor. X reply having been received from yon, T here- by respectfuliy request of you an immediste an- ¥wer, cxpressly consenting or declining to comply with esid resolation of the City Council. I am, uirs, yours, etc., TioMas Eoyxe, Mayor. Copics of this letter were sent to all the heads of Departments, and of course replies were ex- ccted, but, owing to the late hour at which the etters were sent ont, no answers were received. After thinking the matter over, it did not ap- pear likely that this letter would really affect matters much, because of the pecaliar flexibility of the English lan e, which cnables an acute office-holder to reply 1o a letter and spread bim- self all over a subject without sa; anything about it or answering any guestion. To test THE PEELING OF THE PARTIES ADDRESSED, 8 reporter marched sround into the Comp- troller's office and sought to et Mr. Hayes opinion on the subject. That officer took a new lcad out of the difficulty brought up by the letter, and said, in effect, that be should not snswer it at all. ' He was, he eaid, in the Labit of meeting Mr. Hoyne frequently, and, if that gentleman bad m{)mmmunimfian to make, he tould easily do 50 by word of mouth. City-Attorney Tuthill, on being asked if he bad been presented with a copy of the letter, cald be had pot, and, further, that he did not wuch expect, to be. His ecntiments were so well known that it would hardly be worth while 2o ask him to write them out. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORES. An hour or o after the Mayor's circular note o the various heads of departments had been delivered, Mr. Alexander Sullivan, Secretary of the Board of Public Works, appeared in”the Littie back room of the City Clerk’s office, where- in Mayor Hoyne malkes his teadquarters, and Informed him that 2 meeting of the Board of Public Werks would be held to-day, when his :.:‘r: ‘fl.wauld be considered and au answer re- 3 THE CITY MARSHAL. A reporter asked Marshal Goodell yesterday T he had received the Mayor's letter. 4+Yes,” said Mr. Goodell. Have you made an answer yet!” asked the Dews-man. . Alter the Marshal had answered in the nega- tive and he had been asked what his answer ‘would be, he suid, ¢ I shan’t tell you.” He then eutered a complaint in the ear of the Teporter that he did not want to be interviewed; in fact, he would not be. It would be timo enough for him to answer to-day, He could not ECC anyway why such 2 question should be 2sked.” If the departments were going on all Tight why not let them alone, and g0 forth, and &’gh‘ ha’fifi reporter made up his mind that s] id not want to say anything that would throw any light on the abieck g TRE OBJECT OF THE LETTER, Which does not clearly appear on its face, Is found in that act of the Legislature known 28 the Mayor’s bill, which gives the Mayor of a city potker to remove an appolntive officer sub- ect 10 a concurrence in l& act by two-thirds of the City Council. The bearing of this act on the present situation is clear to the most casual Observer. If Mayor Hoflne demands the obe- dience of the Comptroller, for mv.mm and that officer refuses to obey, it forms suflicient ground for his removal, and his "case then goes tothe Council. In the present temper of that body ft would be too much for any officer tohope hat he could eount on two-thirds of its mem- P to back him in a refusal to obey the only Mayor whom they recognize. It is another turn of the screw which force Colvin out of the sml:-whinhheh:ng!vnwith ‘more force than . THE WHOLE TONR of yesterday’s procecdings was pacificatory rather than warlike, and the most stren- Uous efforts of at least one aurty were toward & resort to the = ecduris Tather than to arms. By a sort of mutual con- sent, hostilities were held over for the day in the hope that the usurper would eventually see way clear_to obey the people’s will” and stand down. During the morning Mr. Hoyne, in conversation on the matter, said that he ‘had been considering the subjeot of letting the question come before & court for settlement, Wi willing todo 50 snd abids by the but still no agrcement to that cnd had up to that time been reached. FIRING THE PUBLIC HEART. ALD. BAUMGARTEN. Exasperated by the faflure of all his past efforts to wean over to his side the German vote, Mayor Colvin has become desperate, and is at present circulating base lles, calculated to further his baser ends. The cue to somo of these prevarications was given him by the con- duct of certain candidates for Alderman gt the recent election, wko, for the purpose of palning the honest German vote, circulated rumors that the “‘temperenzlers” were trying Easccnrea majority in the Common Connell. olvin and his most unprincipled henchmen proved apt pupils at this new cfi)dgc‘ and have ever since been busy Flnying 1t on their follow- ers. The accession of a new Council, a majority of whom were opposed to everythin, bearing the official name of Colvin, nggmvatef them in- toa distemper, and now they are all running mad, foaming at the mouth, and s, iug their falsehoods in whatever districts they think the m(’i_!x:. apt tu‘l;?lllil\'n lhcl‘x;. 8 new lerman, John Baum, el the Fourteents Wanl, was. supaosed e oa {riendly to the Colvin clique, until hic proved to be altogether o differcnt kind of a man. But Mr. Baumgarten was uominated and elected upon 2 Republican ticket with Reform’ as its motto,—a word which meant all that could be inimical to Colvin's crew,—and Mr. Baumgartcn courugeously stuck to his colors. The Republican voters under- stood his principles and voted for him, and, further than that, elected him, much %o the discomfort of the Democrats. Instigated by Colvin and his henchmen, these sorcheads got gp 2 meeting Thursday evening at No. 21i-6 Milwaukee avenue, after first calling upon Mr. Baumsnm:n and demanding him” to swerve around to the Colvin side. At this meeting a pompous little fellow named Ald. Ryan_ played a very prominent part, as did also Fred Maas, a defeated candidate for Town Collector at the Iast town election. After the meeting was over they visited Mr. Baumgarten’s residence, and, not finding him at home, saluted his family with cat-calls and all sorts of fnfernal music. An- other mesting will b held at ihe game place his evening, pro c ice do not sto theathur, o e e PO g It is necdless to add that such demonstrations as these on the part of the saloon-keepers and lowest vagabonds in his ward but strengthen him in his position, and cause him to fight the would-be political boss who prompts these oute rages with all the more vigor. HILDRETH AT WORK. Colvin's champion in the Council, Ald, Hil- dreth, endeavored to make arrangements for the holding of a meeting in his master’s inter- est, in West Twelfth Strcet Turner Hall, last evening, but had not shown up Jast night o en- gage the hall as it was understood he would. So it is quite likely that, finding 2 failure prob- able, he has abandoned the undertaking, COLVIN’S MASS-MEETING. ATTEMPT TO TERRORIZE ALDERMEN, Therewas 2 'meeting at Miller's Hall, corner of Sedgwick street and North avenue, last even- ing. The object of the meeting was to fan the dying flame of Colvinism on the North Side, and to resolute against the course pursued by AlQ. Linsenbarth, Waldo, and Boser. As a col- lection of ignorant, bigoted, prejudiced par- tisans, led by designing -and unscrupulous men, the meeting was a success, if mere noise and the display of passion are to be taken as. evidence, On the platform was seated the grand lumi- pary, H. D. Colvin, while there moved about him a circde of choice satellites, fit men in every respect to constitute his body-guard. Charley Cameron and Joe Forrest accompanied Colvin to the meeting, and when they arrived they were welcomed by such blatant blather- skites as Ald. White and ex-Ald. Schaffner. The crowd cheered vociferously at signals from 2 German leader on the stage. When his hand went up the cheers ascended from the coarse, unkempt crowd ;when it went down,the cheering ceased. It was very well regulated, and not once during the whole evening did ‘s appeal to the worst prejudices of the audlence escape the speakers which was not moticed by this obliging performer .on the }:huom who mamulated the crowd accordingly. The meeting was called to order at 8:40, and George F. Zerngibel called upon to preside. Charfey Cameron was invited to lead ofl. He arose and smmnglmmc to the front. He said they had met as Americans, representing 1aw and order and recognizing Government. They were present to protest against the revo- Tutionary actions of ce ons determined to overthrow the City Government. They were resent to uphold and maintain law, and to pro- st against violence and mob-law. They were preseiit to denounce traitors, be they Alder- Inen or others. Colvin's Government, bo said, was the Government instituted by law. Colvin was_the nn!]yk man who was leaally Mayor. [Cheers. is had been a bad Gov- erument, and if_fie bad been 2 bad Mayor, why Qidn’t bls accusers specify their charges, and not come out in 3 gent way ? Because, he maintained, they could not truthfully do s0. He bhad put such honorable and tried men in wer as Louis Wahl, Prindiville, Dixon, Hickey, Boodell. What was the matter with them't Nothing, Why had Mayor Colvin been attacked 7 Because he wonld not throw himself into the bosoms of the SILE-STOCKING ARISTOCRACY, who had complained to him of the low saloons, and wanted them replaced by beer-palaces. Col- vin had indignantly spurned the demand. The silk-stockings wounld probibit men from drinking beer on Sundays and establish a sys- tem of police cspionage over their houses. Colvin had said that he knew neither poor nor rich, and for this the row had been kicked ngA It was a war not by the pooer against the rich, but by the rich ssaiust the poor. The property” owners were determined to rule, and he was Yreannt to protest against it as oligarchical Would they stand this? [Cries of “No. "] Charley next went into a tedfous history of the charter of 1§72, and the succeeding trouble connected with the Mayoral question, paying considerable attention to the press whose,attacks on poor Harvey and his course be stigmatized 15 everything that was bad. He charged Mr. Hoyno with having once signed a statement to the effect that the new charter would have a tendency to continne Colvin in power until April, 1577. What had converted him? Tt had ‘been charged that the new ebarter was carried by ballot-box stuffing, but, cowardly as the pa- pers were, crucl as_thiey were, and vindictive as they were, they had not dared to accuse Harvey D. Colvin of any participation, silent or active, in this ballot-box stuffing. The people were in this position: they had_appealed from the de- cision of the Supreme Court to the mesting at Exposition Hall. He had heard such Generalsin buckram as Leonard Swett, Wirt Dexter, and Elliott Anthony talkc sbout being ready to shoulder muskets, and he, Charley, had inti- mated to them that about fifteen years ago would have been s very approprigte time to shoulder muskets, but they didn’t do any such thing. The history of the petition for & man- damus before the Supreme Court was discussed, and the Hoyne men denounced for acting in o) position to its decision. These men had not pald their taxes from 1869 down to April 1, 1376, They amounted to something over $8,000,000. ‘WHO PAID THE TAXES, ANTHOW? ‘The poor men, and yet these silk-stockings had bad the impudence to assert tbat they owned and carried on the city. The poor had been called tax-eaters. He would the silk-stock- fngs tax-fighters, law-breakers, denouncers of the Supreme Court's decislons, the men who had trampled law under foot. They were out~ side the pale of law. Thg poor were entrenched within the battlement. Let them attack. Charley roused the prejudices of his hearcra by raking up the matter of the paving of Wa- bash avenue. _According to Charley’s account, such men as Jobn V. Farwell, Judge S8kinner, and others, had fought the matter, and saddled the expense on the people of Sedgwick street, at which explanation the audience howled. The remainder of Charley’s oration was of a piece of the foregoing. It in- dnlged ~in reckless statements calc- lated to excite the prejudice of . the oor idiots before him against the men whom e loved to designate as the silk-stockings of Michigan, Calumet, and Prairic avenues. In windiog up he Asfokc of what he termed the treachery of . Linsenbarth.

He stepped for- ward in his usual bland manner, lifted up his voice and said: My Fellow-citizens: I must first scknowl- edge the high compliment pald to me by the Committes who were the getters up of this baving sens the people to walt upan me to invite me to meet and participate in. your I &ink roceedings, Now, entlemg hat what we 'wungc to en'ta!k about tonight is to talk to the question, and the questfon, if I understand it, is as to tho sction of men who regrcsent you. We cannot misunderstand that In 1673 there were two par- tles in Chicago. One was called the Law and Order party, and the other the People’s and Liberal party. A gentlemen who I very highly respect and Is one of the best menin Chicago, was placed upon that ticket that was called the Citizen's ticket and I was selected by the Lib- erty or People’s to represent” them on their ticket. Now, thers has been a cause for ;l'u: establ(a?‘m:n:hof the People’s party. It as 8 cause that there were peoplein Chi and headed by the man w{o guw reprem Tae TRIBUNE, that undertookto deprive tho seop!u, as they thought’ of their liberty, and hey determined not to submit to it any longer. They united with thelr neighbors, and they succeeded fn electing we to the office of Mayor. Now, the question is whether I have done what the people expected me to do when I Wwas elected to the office. [Cries of Yes!") HavoIeverfaitered in any placel [“No!?} Iwas elected regardless of nationality, re; less of politics, regardless of religion. They were of one sentiment in regard to that. My adminis- tration has mever recognized either of those things during my—since I have been olected. I have never inquired when a friend was a candi- date for office whether he was a Democrat, Wwhether he was an Irishman, whether he wasa German, a Pole, ora 8weds, or anything else. The question has always been with me: ¢Is he a competent man to fill the place that he seeks or that he scnds his friends to seck for bim? Thave tried, during all this time that 1 have oceupied this place, to recognize all na- tionalities—never was any question on the sub- ject of religion at all, but recognized all na- tionalities just so far as I was abletodo. I have appolnted a great_many men to office since I have been in oftice. I have appointed men to the Board of Educatfon, to the Board of Public Works, to the Police Department, to the Fire Department, to the Board of Health, and all these dxflemnl'pbces and the Board of Public Library, and I have always endeavored to RECOGNIZA ALL NATIONALITIES, Thave esteemed it to be my duty to do that because I was elected non-partisian and mnon- nationality. Now, gentlemen, if that personal Iiberty at that ttme was dear to_us all, for I confess I want mine just as much as any of you, Tam not restingas for as I am individially concerned in regard to the holding of this oftice. Ispeak now purely from the principles we- adopted at that time. If at this time we had the same united front to rcgrcsen!. your ward aud a few other wards, we should hate been in a position to have prevented the pcople, who called themselves then the lx.'nw and .Order party, {rom ridin: rough-shod over law and evervthing else, nug attemptiog to put a man out of the office that the Supreme Court has decided occupfed {t by law.” " [Cheers.] Having ;.]',}rcn enough of Harvey’s discourse to show that he has not lost those characteristics of style and composition which have made his oratorical efforts famous, the rcaders of THe ‘TrrsuNE will no doubt be exccedingly thankful that they are to be inflicted with no mare of his remarks verbatim. ALr. Colvin said he bad the consolation of see- 1 beside him a geptleman with whom he bad been connected in the Common Council for tventy-ight months. It wes cx-Ald Sdl er, who was deeply consclous of the comphmcm, and sat, with his legs crossed, betsween those disciples of the mastcr, Joe For: rest and Charley Cameron, by merit ralsed to that bad eminence.” Colvin said that Schaffner and Lengacher had never failed under any cireum- stances to stand by cvery singxlc })dndplc adopted by the People’s party. In fact, the North Side had been pretty solid. But it was pot o at present. Some of ‘““our’ German friends in the Council had not scen fit to under- take to sustain the positions occupled by the People’s party then and now, and by Colvin as its great Moses. It was no matter to him whether he was Mayor for a longer or a shorter time. He had s much abuse as most men ‘would care for for t“‘el!ll:tg-eight months. No- body could say why he had been ABUSED SO SHAMEFULLY. Storey had once told him that it didn’t amount to much, and that he must be a very thin-skinned man if he couldn’t stand a little abuse, and therchy scill a few copies of the ZTimes. Mr. Colvih then went fnto the tax question, and commented on the assertion which he put forward that the silk stockings did not pay taxes, much to the delight of his audience. He neglected to state the true reason for this, however, which the reading peo- le of Chicago by this time fully understind. E{e then ‘stated his famous proposition to submit the «case to the courts, and left the impression on the audience that a fafrer man unever lived. He safd if the courts decided against him he would retire with the greatest pleasure in the world. If the law was for him, he should endeavor to occupy the position as long as the law required. He would go still farther. Ilc had been JMAGNANIMOUS IN ALL HIS PROPOSITIONS, and the pablic had said so. If Mr. Hoyne, or anybody else among the Puritanical element, [vmposod to fight the thing out, he would goout o-morrow morning and resign his place, with the perfect understanding that he should have Mr. Hoyne put right 1o the field aesinst him s a'candidate. ~ If Mr. Hoyne beat him he would scquiesca s a gentleman, and if he beat Mr. Hoyne he shoul expect him to do the same thing. ~ Inclosing he resorted to the shallow trick of saying that his office had always been open to all, rich and poor, invited the crowd be- fore him to call upon him if they wanted any- thing, and eaid be would do what he could for them. He thanked them for listening to him (they deserved some sort of commiseration) and 63id he should be most happy to come and sce them again. [ctmeml> On motion of John Paul, the following Com-~ mittee was appointed to draft resolutions: John Paul, T. Bugheck, J. Kernitz,J. Rhinewald, . Schmehl, J. Wagner, J. C. Goebel. While they were out Ald. White was culled upon, but modestly pressed his friend SCHAFFNER into service. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the remarks of the latter. They were charae- teristic in their display of ignorance and ego- tism. There was one thing in his speech, how- ever, which deserves credit. ® He admonished his sudience of the folly of resort~ i:'ni to violence against Ald. Linsenbarth or an; other objectionable Alderman, g THE REBOLUTIONS. The Committee were out long enough to copy off a lot of resolutions cooked up between Col- vin, Cameron, and Forrest, and to express them in uncouth language. ‘The resolutions were as follows, and were adopted without the least difliculty: Wiprgas, The majority of the citizens of the North Division of Chicago held as right that the Flon. Harvey D. Colvin is the rightful Mayor of the City of Chicago according to the charier of 1872 until April, 1877; Wnensas, Messrs. Linsenbrath, Boeer, and Wn:lldo were elected Aldermen at the last election; an ‘WaEREAs, Safd Linsenbarth, Boser, and Waldo show by their actions and votes in the Council that they act agninst the wishes of their constitu- ents, voting for and supporting one certain Thomas Toyne 38 Mayor of the City of Chicago, and by 1his action helping to produce disorder and law- lesrnees in our city: therefore, it Reeolved, That the citizens of tho North Side dieapprove of the nctions of the said Aldermen in the Council, and demand of them now that they will henceforth support the lawful Mayor of Chi- cago, the Hon. Harvey D. Colvin, until his term of office is ired, in April, 1877. Should the eald Aldermen refuse to accede to our just request, then we demand of them to hand in their resiguations, that more sble and trosty men be elected into their ofices,~men who il sct fn sccordance with the wishes of their con- stitaents. ‘Besolced. 'That we heartily indorse the action of Mayor B, D. Colvin in offering to submit the ques- 1ion of his legal right to his office to the Supreme Court, and we denounce the mob spirit of the ma- jority'of the Common Council in refositgto sub- mit their case to this legal tribunal. Resoled Tuat wo pledge our licarts, support to Mayor Colvin in all his legal acts, and that, if it chould become mecessary, we will raily to his ag- sistance when he shall eall’ npon us to protect him in his legal rights. And then the'meeting adjourned. . THE CONFERENCES. AT ALD. THOMPSON'S. Yesterday morning there assembled fn Ald. Thompson’s office in Reaper Block, corner of Clark and Washington streets, Judge Beckwith, James P. Root, Mr. Goudy, and Egbert Jamie- son, for Mr. Colvin, and Lawyers Jewett and Tuley for Mayor Hoyne. The cause of the gathering was to discuss the prospects for an amicable settlement of the difficalties between the two, Hoyne and Colvin. Messrs. Jewett and Tuley proposcd on behalf of their side that the Colvin faction recognize Hoyne as Mayor and then proceed to obtain a writ of quo warranto, bat on no cousideration was the sut to be taken to the Supreme Court. In case they would accede to the proposition, the Hoyne party would agres to put no obstacles in the way nor do anything that would cause delay; on tho contrary, they would do all in their power to aid and assist & spcedy suit and a decision as 500n as it could be obtained. This decision was to prove final, and both par- tics were to ablde by it. This proposition was met by the other side with a flat refusal. Another pmiyosman was_informally made b one of Mr. Colyin's connsel. It wasthat bo Mayors should step down and out, and tho Councll elect omo of their qun number as Mayor. This scheme did not meet with any mcnun{icmtnt. It was con- ceded by the majority of the Council for the usurper that such a camBromisc would amouut. to surrendering to the Council just what they demanded, that he should give ug.[ On the other side it was contended thet Mr. Hoyne wus elected and declared Mayor, and he would not resign. The people bad chosen him as their standard-bearer, and be couldnot desert them in their hour of victory. The conference ad- journed about noon, without having accom- plished anything. EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON Messrs. Beckwith, Goudy, Root, and Jamieson beld o consultstion-over the situation in Sehimp- ferman’s. It lasted for upwards of an hour. ‘What conclusions, if any, were reached, the in- terested parties declined to announce. AT IT AGAIN. ' After almost every employe had left the Cit; ‘Hall last night, and the place bore a deserte appearance, Mr. Colvin, Comptroller Hayes, and Lawyers Root, Goudy, and Jamieson had a long and earnest consultation in Mr. fayes offiec, on what was the best course to pursue. They talked for some time on the proposition of Hoyne’s legal adviscrs, and agreed that the; could not aceept it. They had-been magnani- Dfous encugh, and did not fecd called upon to agree to any pna&nsmon that made themn con- cede s0 much. Mnch breath was wasted, and it is supposed that many plots and plans were laid, but what they.all were is not known, and time and Colvin's actions only probably will develop. MAYOR HOYNE. Late last evening a TRIDUNE commis- sioner called on Mayor Hoyne at his residence on Michizan avemie, with a view of ascertaining the latest news on the situation. Mr. Hoyne stated that he had heard nothing from his “counsel during the afternoon, and supposed that things were | just in about the same condition as they were in the morning. He still occupied the defensive osition. He was elected Mayor, had been con- rmed and declared Mn{'or by over two-thirds of the Common Council, and, therefore, he did not know of any reason why he should rush futo court and demand that’'a writ of quo war- ranto be issued on Mr. Colvin. The boot was on the other leg. ~If Mr. Colvin did not feel satisfied that Mr. Hoyne was the Mayor de facto aud de jure, he could, 1f he saw fit, apply for such o writ. As far as he (Hoyne) was con- cerned, he should interpose mno “obstacle, and would abide by the decision of the Court. He wanted peace. The citizens wanted peace, and he would do anything in his power to secure peace, so long as it did not place tim in a false position. RAILROADS. CHEAP TRANSPORTATION. A meeting of the Chcap-Transportation Asso- ciation of New York was held last Thursday, at which the following Interesting report regard- ing the present waramong the trunk lines was submitted by the Committee on Railroad Trans- portation: The Committee on Railway Traneportation re- spectfully report that the munagers of the trunk Tines leading from this city huve at laat taken the position that ratesto New York from the West shall be as low ax those to any other seaboard clty. This is a concession wlhich the Cheap Transporta- tion Association has long maintained ebould be adopted for the reason that the cost of transporta- tion decreases very rapidly in proportion 1o the amount of business done, and even if there were no West-bound traffic, toe immense masa of mis- cellancons productions of the West which ara shipped to this market would entitle her toevena {ower rate than cities from 100 to 200 miles nearer the producing centres. The cost of hanling a train of cary 100 t0 200 miles farther, when once started on their journey tothe scaboard, is very small, and, s above stated, is more than compensated for by the quantitics’ of beef, pork, lard, butter, cheese, cggs, flour, and livo stock, besides the large miscellancous class of goods for which there there is bat little demand at other seaboard cities. The most forcible reason, however, why New Yorkis entitled to o fower rate than other sea- board clties s that she furnishes s much larzer percentage of - West-bound freizht than any other city. By far the lafzer pum- ber of freisht ‘cars from New York even are hauled back to the West empty, but New York has an advantage in this respect over cither Baltimore, Philadelphis, or Boston in the proportion of mare than two to one; yet this feat- ure has never been recoznized by railroad man- agers in making up their tariffs, and New York hus been the goose which has always furnished an in- definite supply of golden eggs. ~ At last, however, the fact bas®become apparent to everybody that has long been noted by closo cbservers, vir. that tho great trunk lines; which naturally work in the in- terest of Baltimore and Philadelphia, have eo far diverted the commerco which formerly came to this city that even our trunk lines of railroad begin to feel it seriously, and hence have taken the posi- tion above mentioned. Their action has had an immediate and positive effect of the most gratify- ing character, and, if continued, cannot fail to permanently 'benefit the commérce and real estate interests of our city. It Is claimed thnt the present rates arc mot remunerative to the roads, and that the customary dividends will be lacking If these rates are continued. Itshould e remembered, however, that the capital ttocks of all our trunk lines have been watered from time to time until it hus long been & marvel to our busi- ness men hoyw they could manage to pay dividends atall. The best judges claim that if the Now York Central Railrond earned 3 per cent upon its present ontstanding obligations it will still be earning at the rate of 8 toO per cent on the amount actuaily paid into its treasury by its stock and bondholders, and it wonld, thercfore, scem to be less of a hordship {or these gentlemen to_accept reduced rate of dividends than it would be for the entire basiness and real ostate interests of the city and State to continao io aufler s they have In the past. In- decd. inthe opinion of your Committee, the wisest possible couree for our railroad manazers to take ‘wonld be to foster, fora time at least, those fnter- ests which for a nimber of years have been o de- reseed, P'This brings us to the consideration of another ‘moat Important feature in the sitnation, viz. : TIE RATES ON WEST-BOUND FREIGHT. ‘The policy of the roads in the past has been to give very low special contracts to wholaeale mer- chants in the interior, but to charge the retail mer- chant_there their rezular tariff rates, which, in some instances, have been two and three times as high as the special rates before mentioned. The effect of this policy has been, during the last ten years, to buildup in all the interlor citics, and eventowns of any size, an_jmmense uumber of wholesale houses, whoke chief source of profit has been the discriminations which they were able to obtain in their rate of freizht. This has resulted in the fact that not one retal] merchant now visits thus market to buy zoods where ten formerly came, much to the detriment of onr jobbingtrade in every branch, many houses of which have been driven out of business, and it has only been tho stronger ones that have been able to sustain_this, and even they have been driven into importing and absorb- ing in a variety of ways other branches Which for- merly had a distinctive existence of their own. In doing this the railroads have greatly injured their peasenger tralics have mearly Lankrupted our otel intercst, and all they have gained has been the exchange of o large number of small customers that paid them remunerative rates for a smail num- ber of large customers that now psy unremuncra- tive rates. This Association bas already takon measurea to bring these facts to the notice of the men most Jargely interested in the manazement of our trunk lines, the exccutive officers of which have for a Jong time recognized these facts; but those higher in _onthority do mot come in contact with the medium class of mer- chants who are thelr best customers, and are there, fore elow to recognize the fact which would be of the greatest mutaal advantage. It is to be hoped, however, from the apirit manifested in our-East ‘bound freight matters, thata better understanding may be arrived ut in regard to our West-boand fn- terests. Your Committee are in favor of makin: every proper advance looking toward this end, an would therefore respect{ally submit the following resotutlon: Resolved, That the thanks of the merchants of thiucity sré duc to the mansgers of our trunk lines for thelr recognition of their intercsts in rates on East-bound freight, and that we respectfully solicit at their hands 2 consideration of the facts herein- before ontlined in regard to therates on West- bound freight, and the policy which in the past has sesulted so disastrously Lo the jobbing trads of this city.

The wondrous o that crowns the edifice of man is not only the seat of reflection snd the home of idealty, but it is the governing centre of the nervous system.*When it is oyerwrought, unduly excited, or affected by irregularities of those bodily orfans with which it most closely sympathizes, all the perves suffer, and the gen- eral health i3 impaired. The reason why Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bitters exercise such asoothing in- fluence upou the brain is, that they remove those digestive and bilious derangements which react injuriously upon it, and that, in relieving irrita- tion or weakness of the great sympatheticnerve which conncts the stomach and the brain, they beneficially affect the latter organ as well as the former.
