Cnicaco, June 4.—The people of thiscity have cleeted a new Board of Aldermen who have thus far given substantlal evidence of thelr desire to so legislate as will promote the Inter- ests of the city. I therefore with confidence direct the attentlon of our new Aldermen to the business of pawnbroking as carried on in this clty. The ratc of interest charged by them {s exorhitant, viz.: 10 per cent per month, and for- feiture of the articles pawned after thirty days if the Joan fs_not paid or renewed within that time. Iam told that in New York the rate of interest charged by pawnbrokers I8 usually 23¢ {mr cent per montli, When a person beconis 8o inancially embarrassed that hie has to resort to u pawnbroker for relfef, he is in no condition to mulctb himself, und if legislative protection is be extended to any cluss of people it should bLe to the poor peoplé wha are compelled to ob- taln financial accommodation at the hands of the leartless pawnbroker, The cxorbitaut rates of interest demanded In this business will explain the cause of some of our best streets being crowded with those who do busincss uniler the slggn of the three brass balls, to the manifest in- jury of other and more leglumnle businesa o~ terests. Pawnbrokers, in addition to lending moncy, usunlly deal in second-hand jewelry, watchcs, ns, pistols, clothing, ete,, which thoy obtain by purchiase, and in many cases of peraons of doubtful integrity. 1 would, therefore, suggest thut the rates of Interest on smull sums be re- duced to 5 por cent per month, and in sums of over $20 to !4 per cent Pcr mounth, and that in no case should the articles pawned be forfeited under three monthe, If this were done, the business to e profitable would necessitate the employment of # larger amount of capltal. “This would tend to put the business into o less number of houses of the more wealthy ond reputable kind, and thus compel the amaller and most disreputable class of puwnbrokers to seck some other business, Instend of the one they now diegrace. Pawnbrokers who purchese second-hand articles should bLe required to take out n scpurate license ~for that pur- puse, and to keep books upon which should be entered the nanics and address of the vendors, together with a description of the ar- tleles purchused, such artleles to be kept by the purchuser in the state in which they were re- celved for ten days, aud such hooks nnd articles to be subject to police inspection. The Couneil has ample powers to regulate the busitess, as will uppear by referring to sutrsections 41 and 95 of Article V. of the et to provide for the fu- corporation of cltics and villges, I the Council will properly exercise their powers, s0 that pawnbrokers sliall be compelled to nccount for all thelr property, whethier re- celved upon pawi or I?' purchase, they mnfght be made u valuable auxilinry in the detection of criminals fustead of Leing, as they now are fn many cases, fences for thicves, BSEHVER. ROBERT COLLYCR'S ORATION. v the Editor of The Tribune. Cuicago. June 4,—~The criticlsms in the Jnter- Ocean on the orativn of the Rey. Robert Collyer on Decoration-Day at Graceland, I bave notlced with much regret. Having llved in the South for four years, 1 believe myself in possession of facts which fully sustain the ussertion mede by Mr. Collyer fn regard to the anlmosity which continuully 18 kindled and kept up by the so- called *Bloody-Shirt Republicans. The Jnter- Oceun belleves that it is dungerous for Republl- cans to utter frecly their political sentiments fn the South; and that the Rev. Mr. Collyer, if he would reside for a short time winong South- ern Demnocrats, would get cured of his present congervative and concitiatory views. I cau assure the Infer-Ucean thut durlug my sojourn in the South 1 have always uttered publicly my un- sbaken belef In the Republlean cause, I'have upenly voted the Republiean ticket, but never aid I experience uuy difllcultles, nor wus I {n uny way ostracized. Oun the contrary, 1 was treated’ kindly und respectfully by all those with whom T camo in contact. 1 also know of officials who are good and outspoken Repub- leans, and who command thy respect and esteern of thefr fellow-citizens, frrespuctive of party. ‘The truth s that somne officlals through thelr conduct, huve brought disgrace upou themselves nnd the party. They ure displsed not only by Democrats, but wlso' by Republicans. Thoy Tett the SBouth not on account of ostraclsm, but on account of having tulled tomect with the success which they expected, to-wit: a renuvmination. Iam confident that the sentiments expressed by tho Rev. Robert Collyer are re-echoed not only by all the people”of the South, who are anxlous to forget the past, und thus to secure thelr prosperity, but also by all slucere Repub- Nleans throughout the North, who wish to lead the party to succees in tho coming Presidential election.

A Canadan paper, not at all gliven to invent- Ing or exaggerating itsnews, tells a very strange and sensational story sbuut & condemned murs derer, Trotter, who is said tohaveacknowledged that lie, and not Patrick James Whelan, was the murderer of that cloquent orator, earnest patriot, and most churining companion, Thomas D'Arcy McGee, McGee, then o member of the Government in Ottawa, was shot, it will be remembered, at about 2 o'¢luck ou the mornfug of the 7th of April, 1665, He had delivered one of his most brilliant speechies, and, leaving the Canndian House of Comimons, had walked to his ludgings, a couple of hundred yards away, As he stooped to put his night-key fu the lock some oue, suddenly coming up bebind him, ploced u pistol close to his head and blew out his bralus. Whelan was arrested on suspiclon, and, though st tirst the case against bim scemed very slight, he was finally convicted, mainly ou circumstantial evi- dence, and hanged. Trottes was a page in the House of Cominons at the time and the son of the woman with whomn McGee boarded. He was the first person to discover the body of the murdercd statesinan, sud was a companion of Whelan, the murderer, The cvidence at the tria) showed very clearly that McGee belicved hlmself to be followed, and had walked with unusual haste to the dour, where he was delay- ed while trying to open it, the key within I Ing, contrary to custom, been left In the lock, Whelan's friends alwuys maintained his Inno- cence, and his own assertion, never till now inude public, was that he had not doue the shooting, but knew who hud; and zpain, that he “yras there, butdid vot kil bl It hasulways been held by the detectives that there were three m."rmus coucernrd in the crime, Whelan, his un- i owncuu;]mnlun; and u third persou of much I)l;;lnzrnod position. The lateJudge O'Reliley, of Kingston, whose masterly conduct of the case for the Crown secured Whelan's conviction to the surprise of every une, held the same theory, und even had some thought of pressing the charge sgaiust some one whom he suspected of being the third person in question., Tne de- velopment of the evidence signinst Whelan was etartlingly dramatic, and the suspiclon thiat there were accomplices with ou belifud him who had never been reached, lus always been so strong that those acquainted with’ the case are guite prepared to sceept Trotter's story as In part true.

Maniste, Mich, May 80.—For many years past the City of Manistee has been somewhat behind the times {u the matter of celebrating the Fourth of July. A reqular old-fashioncd celebration of the day of our Independence has been a very rare oceasfon in our history. Thls arose, not from the fact that we had no patriot- {sm, but mainly from the division of fecling ex- istlug winong our people. We have always heen troubled ore or less with Inbarmony and bit terness between our classes. The temperance fight, which raged n our city to some extent for the pust five or six years, created and Kept alive s very bitter contest; and, while this has eutirely susided now, still the ordeal through which we pasted has ralsed the tone of morality aud temperance 100 per cent higher than it was five years ogo. This year, all our own people hisve come together, through the representatives of our opposing classes, and agreed upon 8 good old-fashioued cclebration, such as Manistee has never seen be- fore, The Women's Temperance 8uclety and the German Workingmen's Soclety mingle together fu making arrongements for the grand oceasfon, Al other Socleties in the city have come furward to take part in the ceremonies of the day; and, In the general cxhibition of pa- triotie’spirit and love of our common coutry, ull old sores und wouuds huve been forgotten aud Leoled over, Of course, under these circuinstances, we in- tend to have a celebration thut shall attract o large crowd, not only from the adjolning rural districts, but from eome of the large citics of the West and villages along the lake-shore. ‘The usual dlcrhny of fire-works, inartial music, und reading of the Declaration of Independence, of course will not be forgotten; nor will the atnuelng games, cousisting of cllmbfn;,v 8 gressed pole, running sack-races, catching greased pigs, ete, ete. But one especlal fenture “of the ocea- slon, that {8 entirely new and very interesting to ull lumber-regions, will be & genuine log-riding contest, open to the world. To the uninitiated, will explaln that on our rivers the pine logs are driven down frum the woods by log-drivers, who stand upon the logs with loug " pules, and drive the ln%s along with them. Many of our experi- eneed log-drivers work all summer upon logs fluutlufi: over dccgcwnber in the lake and around the mills, and it becomes quite o feat to_retain one's equitibrium upon one of those foatin: pieces of timber. A person uot used to fi couldn't keep out of the water three scconds; but we have plenty of men in our lumber-dis- tricts that walk about over these fOuating logs with us much cumposure us if moving along overa stone pavement, This log-riding con- test will take place on the river, the contestants starting just at the mouth of the little lake, and going down the river about half-u-mile. prize of $50 and the champlonship of the world 18 the reward offered to the person displaying the greatest skill in malntalning his position on the Jug.
