To the Edilor of The Tridune, CnicAgo, June 10.—I read a letter in last Sunday's TRinuNg alluding to the extortionate wages required by the female help in the clty. It1s oncof manyI have noticed on the aame subject. It fs always held up to us that the men are working for less pay. I do not sce any reason why that should lave anything to doin regard to our wages, If the men can work for less; and can hire in our place, we are willlng that they rhould do our work. They tell us dry-goois are so cheap 1t does not cost much to dress. That s true, but we aro not work. g altogether for’ dress. I do not find that thuse who want to reduce our wages are willlng to reduce our Iabor. On the coutrary, the lower the woges the harder tho work {8 the gencral rule. "It Is strange, but true. We ure wearing out health and strength for the sake of a few dollars, and yet we are wanted to work for less. It vosts 80 much at the prescnt time to mnke up wiat they eall fasiionable women that they must practice ceonomny somewhere so that they can meet ex- penees, and not being willng to roll up thelr sleeves and go to work, they hirea girl and then grumblo becauss they have to pay nfew dollars a month for Lier Inbor. It I8 the old, old rtory,—dollars and_dimes. O, that almicht, dollar, low hard it s o part wit it, particularly when it goes to pay the poor working-ghl, It~ Is strange that those who want to cut down our wages are the very ones who are living in lnxuri;, perfectly regardless of cost, If they only kiew how much n dollar or two nmonth more looked in the cyes of the poor girls who work in their Kkitchens, they would not bo so hard-hearted. As long as thic work continucs the same, we pro- poso o look for the sume wages. Iam not writing for myself alone, but In bebalf of work- ing-girls in gencral; and hope that those who want to lower wages will consider alittle, and conie to the concluslon that we are not so ex- tortionate as what thoy represent ua to be; and Jet thelr niotto be, **Liveand Jet live.” Yours respectfully, Ax Avrocnar oF ton KITCHEN, THE CHARTER OF 'Th. v the Kditor of The Tridune. CmioAso, Juno 16.—There are two reasons why the Common Council should not act on the petition for adoption of tho 1875 charter. One reason s that the adoption of the charter of '72 after tho passago of the charter of '75 may be construcd as a virtual rejection of the latter by the popular vote, so that, according to ita own provision, it canuot Le submitted to the people prior to April 1877, A second roason fa that there {8 rensonnble doubt as to its constitution- ality, Now, s it for tho Common Council to jznore these pertinent questions snd order the election demunded by the petitioners? Is it not rather its plain duty to shield the city from pos- sible_complications that might arlsé In any fu- ture Iwsuit on the part of the city, when thus orgauized under the charter of 761/ This would mean plainly thut the duty of the Commion Councll, a8 guardian over tho city's best Inter- est, Is to decline acting upon the petition hefore the Supreme Court Las lawfully adjudged the questiona first ralsed.

That remains £3,000—n - sum never pald any preceding Assistant Superintend- ent, even when curtallment was unthought of. Now, why docs that salary remain $3,000, when o1l others are recelving reductions ranging from 10 to 20 per centi The uceessity for such an office is donhted by many. Tlhe presont incuinbent has devoted the past year to_two fdens, and has been well paid for them. Will it be worth while to pay him 1,000 for repeating those fdeas next year? The novelty has worn ofl.

COLVIN'S RCONOMY (1) Tt. was supgested to a TRinux® reporier yesterday that aince Mavor Colvin has tried to gecure the removal of the Board of Publie ‘Works and had apread it sbout that it was merely a step to ccondmy that he (the reporter) inquire futo the case ol ses how well Mr, Colvin's specch and action coincide. The re- ‘mmr adopted the suggestion, and from those n posscasion of information obtained somo fncts which, though malnly a rehashi of what the publle know, whl eerve to show the exact conditlon of affalrs. The Bonrd of Public Works, as will be remembered, discharged the d:(ny water-policemen about Dee. 1, which action niet with the greatest dis- :Fprm'nl fram the then {rate Colviu, who sald hat those men were rfends of his, snd had to be provided for during the winter By dint of much perstinsion and the exerclse of his power, tho men were rolnstated at a ealary of $45 per ‘month, belng a reduction of 815 a month. Theae incn on the 1at of April were deposed altogether, mucli to the displeasure of Colvin, swho fumed and swore around that they must be retalned till after the election. Instead of cutting oft any of them, lic would have more _put ov, and ured the best, of his cfforts to have them enrolled, but the Board refusedto comply with his demands, and the men twere not put on, not the old ones retained. Colvin argued that the men were friends of his, were on his hands for past aer- vices, and he fiad to make a placa for them. Tho Board vaed abstinate, and refused Lo agreo Lo Colvin's :xtmvnpimm demands. 8ince that time, from which It may be sald that the Board has acted firrcapective of tho expressuian's ‘wishes, the expenees of the departinent havo }»c:u reduced monthly several thousands of dol- ars. To substantiate thess statements nothing cauld be more convincing than Mr. Colvin's lxamlwming scen i scores of letters which hie has writien to askemployment for some of his pets, Huqh Reed and others. Tho Board looked upon hisldeas of economy aa wonderful, A few of the Alderman were knotted together vesterday noon talking about the Board of Public Works, Amoug them was an Alderman who has been at the bottom of all reform move- ments siuce the Inauguration of tho new Conneil. Hesald: *It {s sitnplc foolishneas to talk about abolishing the Doard of Public Works, at lenst for the present. Talk about economy! It only needs an exsmination into the workings of the body to convince anybody that thére fs economy enough thero ~ already, ~We could ‘get” mo onc man physically or mentally eapable of performing tho work now done by*that Board. "I don't believe that there everwas uny scrious talk of removing - them. ¢ thero was and I did not kuow it, itis some- thing unconmmon.” CITY FINANCES, The muddie [n which our financial aflairs have been brought by the bummer dique with the locum tencus at its_head, and doctored by sol-disant Comptroller 8.

Hayes and Hold-on Colvin stood In the way. The Ynur amploycs would have recelved thcie pay long ago, and much actual suffering been avelded. But thess n, to whom tho city is a0 much In debt for snrv‘cca readered, are soon to receive thelr pay. Recently the Financo Committes has held many fmportant scsslons. The mem- bers are” men of business, and they propose to conduct the eity as they dothelr own affalrs. As an evidoncothat the Committeo has done well, and that it hos the confidence of the ublic, it {s but necessary to state that recently Ehu Finnnce Committes were offercd by Messra, Blair and DeKoven, of the Merchants’ National Bank, all the mnouey they nced to pay up matur- ing indcbtedness, provided they were author- fzed by the Council to do the business, This hos at last been accomplished, Yeater- day afternoon the Flnance Comunitteo submitted a re[crt and resolution, fully reported In the Council proceedings In an- other column, which covers tho case, and which was adopted on motlon of Ald. Cullsrton. On the 1at of suly there will become due $400,000 Interest and $95,000 of mataring bonds, mnklng in all §661,000. Messra, Blair and De- Koven have signified their ability and Intentlon to care for theso slngle-handed, and have so stated to Ald. McCrea, Chatrman of the Finnnce Committee, and they will pny the interest and redeem tho bonds, as parties in the Kast are enger to invest thelr money. here. t was lenrned last evening, from one of the members of the Finance Commuittee that there are three other banks which waut to pay the wmoney coming due on the et prox. - It is likely that the amount will have to be divided among tho four. It wus also stated that the city would be ablo to get all the money it “nceds at g(renenf., providing, of course, that Mr. Iln; ceps his finger out of the pie. He has all along stated that he could get all the money that was wanted by the city, but, some- how, he has failed in ;;eu.(nf it, and now the Financs Committes are tendered financial ald almost without solicitation after tho bauks have found out that they (the Committec) bave been empowered to negotiste loans, TIE COUNTY BUILDING.

A CHANCH TO SELL MORE HONDS, The Joint Committee on Hospitals aud Publle Bulldings of the County Boord met the County Medical Board yesterdsy afterncon to discuss thu propriety of erecting the amphithestre for the new hospital st once, which will cust about $50,000, Messre. Lonergaa, Busse, and Guenther wera urpuml to expendIngZ any more wioney on the bullding at this tine, tron the fact that the taxes wero ulready high, and the amphitheatro was not indispensable, The other members of the Committee were fu favor of going on with the work at once, and the Medical Board wereol the sume opinlon. The propusition to make the expendituro was lost upon being put to a vote, which occasloned constderable discomfiture. Cominissloner Mulloy, who hud voted with the wajarity, was subscquently inducsd to change hisvote, but not before otlior busiuess had been taken up.

" WIAT TNB STATE HAS GIVEN TIEM, Bpectal Correspoidence af The Tridune, Des Moixes. 1a.,, June 15,—~Very few people comprehend the vast extent of territory or the fimmenso amouyt of wealth the Btate of Jowa has bestowed upon raflronds. Under the vari- ous acts of Congress, there have been granted to thoe State,aud by the BState to rallroads, 5,262,208 acres of land, distributed as follows: Burllngton & Missourd River. . 202,045 Missies!

Then odd to this the bonds donated by countles and citles, the right of way and the subscriptions in form of taxes voted to'ald in buflding roads, the swamp lands given, and the money %h-cn biy private lodividuals; aod the sum total fs cnormous. Estimating the lnnd donated by this Btate at o falr valuation,~soy $4.50 por “acre,~und we have: 50, Lands, , 204, 142 Tonda i 13,000, 000 RIZht Of Way-ressrers 3,500,000 Donatlons to secure shops, et , 750, Tax ald Y 4,375,000 Swamn-1anda, ... .... 2,250,000 Indlvidual subscriptio 00, 000 Totlicssivsserens +.308,070,342 According to tho last report of the Executive Btate Councll, there are 8,823 miles of rallvoad inthe State. Of these, thore ars about 828 which have recelyed no ald from land-grants; which would give to the land-rrant roads this munificent ald of $00,070,H2, Allowing the cont, of thess ronds to be $15,000 per mile, it would malke a total of $57,845,000 for the 8,823 miles of rond, or $10,734,343 lces than the sum donated, The estimated price of the land is low, for It fs well known that the rallroad com- punlea are selling their lands at $13 an acre, But this fa notall, S8omeoftherosdsarc claim- g and recelving lands for which they have built no road, and have, thercfore, not “earned the land. The old Des Molnes Valley Road has rocelved, according to the records of United States Land-Office, scveral thousand acres more than it was entitled to; and yet it Is now claim- ing, and will recelve, thousands of acres in the northern Emn of the 8tate, where no road hns been built. Its Land-Grant act says the road shall be bullt to the northern boundary of the State. It has been diverged from its “original line to Fort Dodqe. where it stops. Havin, thus orfeited its right to t.hnfinnd, it a a little singular that the State has not taken some mcasurs tfo resumo the lands, as fu the case of the McGregor & Sloux City Railrond Compuny, in which grant are in- cluiled some of the {dentical lunds claimed by the Valley Road by reason of the McGregor Tond erossing tho thi Valley Road's grant. Another conspleions featurs of this land-grab Tas just been doveloped. At the United Btates Land-Oftice hiere there was received, this weels, list of 2,600 acrcs of 1and which are to be fur- ther certifie to this Valley Road,whicli will soon be followed by anotber similar list. The land is situated’In Palo, Alto, Kossuth, and Em- nict Counties. Now, it {a well known that the old DesMolnes Railroad Company is a dead cor- oration. Its property hos been sold undera orcclosure of mortgage, and its debts wiped out. 'The rond hus been divided, and s now owned by two other and distinct Companfes. 1t is a littlo singular how any party csn now como in'and clutm Tand in the name of a defunct cor- poration. And, further, what witl be done with ho land? To whom will it go? - Certainly not to pay the debis of the corporation. havo sald that o portion of the land grant to the Valley Road was clatmed by the M- Qregor Rowl.” Just here, under present appear- anees, crops out o little schems which necds ex- lanation. A big lawsuit wos imminent over lio titla to these lands, There was also the canllrficm’y that the Btate might possibly get worked up'to n scnse of its own righta in the promises, and put a stop to this wholesnls sequestration of the publie dommin. Of course, the United 8tates wili give the land 80 long us there is any to give, and the State in- terposes no objection. To prevent objection, aud socure the Jand, it appears ns thourh Mr, Cowdry, representing the McGregor Roud, and Mr. Bmythe, representing the Old Valley Road, hud arrauged o compromise, by which no litigation was to be had, and division to be mado of the land between them. luving got the 1and, what will they do with it, both coinpanles having forfelted tiiclr charters, neither having carned the Jaud, and one of the compunics hav- lug become defunct? have it frum o good source, that at Washing- ton {a located nn lfiuucy for the purpose of working up raflroad land-clalms, forn certain fee per acro certified to the vompanies. By its rsussive puwer, alded by the sytnpathetic na- ure of Departmont and the urgu- wment of raflroad cowpanles, there have been cortificd to the State, for rollroads, over 230,000 scres more thun she {3 entitled to by.any act of Congress. It is the privilege of ruflroads to get all they can. The title of these lands once vested in thiem, the State will have to account to the Governmout for them, ss she only holds them as Trustec, ‘T'he day of reckon- ing’is surely mmuxF. Bome Jyux-gyed and lion- ta%om:lnl at Washington will yet dlscover the {raud, and o scttlesncnt will bé demanded, The State will havago refund and pay for what it bus flegully didposed of. Another noticeable fact in this'connection is, that, In this excess of grant to _the Valley Roud, w0 cufil:r was the Deparfment ~to gratily the de- mand that * Jands _were Included which had been sold by the Government aud the State long before the” Lund-Grant act waa passed by Congress, and wers improved farms ut that date. The yecard of that fact existed in the archives of the Lund-Department at Washing- ton, and, therefore, thore was no excuse for the ermr,—dmc cumpclllngl&urchucn to defend thelr claims against the Ralirond Company.
