Rockronp, IIL, Noy. 23.—Lessons can often be learned by looklng over the officlal returna after a hotiy-contested election. The official returns of the Fourth District are uncommonly Interesting figurcs just now. They polnt out in unmistakuble language the carncst destre for Civll-Servies Reform which exists amone the people, and stow the determination on the part of the voters to cast thelr bale lots for a man whom they know to be honest, and who was pledged not to use Federal oflces to promote his Intereats at county convontions and town caucuses. For theyfirat time since the days of Washburne, the Fourth District will be ropresented by a man who ls absolutely untramincled by s single pledge, and who gocs to Washington fully de- termined to carry out his principles at sll hazards, In 1872, only four years ago, this samo Mr. Lathrop was laughed at by the machine politicians of the district becauss he would not aceept o proposition which would turn over to 1ifm the Marengo detegation, and tlhereby bave secured his eletlon beyond question atthat thme, Iie could have insured his election beyond a per- adventure. To a modern politieian the propost- tion was o “businees’ one. Ile was simply to glve o written pledge to four men that ho would obtain four Federal offices for them, which of- fices were withiu hs power togive. Some of his unwise fricods smd, “You will never get to Cungress unless you do nake u promise.” Otlicrs eald Lathrop ncver was a * politiclan.” On being approuched, the Winnobago-County lawyer quleily sod dignilledly sald, “Gentle- men, 1 would MUke to gu to Congress; but say to you, ond to all my friends, tint do mot proposs tu go to Washiugton tpon a certificate that onght to send me to the Penitentiary at Jolict,” Thls ended all diplomatic refations with the gentle- men who were mnmln;?- the Mellenry delega- tion. Lathrop was ‘‘counted out' of “the ame.” Hurlbut was nexu ealled upon, and cculingly accopted the proposidon, But, while the machiue was couniting Lathrop out, tho voters, by reducioz Hurlbut's majoritles, were preparing to “count fu'? the lawyer who had the moral courage to refuse a scat in Con- sress because to accept it would compromlise s Idvas in respeet to Clvil-Service Reform. luribut squcezed through {n 1874 with 1,200 majorlty,—7,000 Republican voters ataying at lome. “Fne’ machine eetine alarmed, I was eyident tuero was trouble ahead, fHow to fore- ¢tall public opinion and force a nomination was the airnw question, Accordingly, the Boone County Convention was rushed through, as the yote since J»ruvcd, ugainat the wishes of the peo- rle, and delegzntes wers elected pledged for {urlbut, Shurtly after that, Hurlbut cama hume trom Congyest .tml whipped in his Post- masters fn MeHenry County.” 'They heard tho distant murtmurings of mustering hosts, and would have gladly rebelled; but theie master forced them futo line, and, against the wishes of the people, Mcelieary County was carried for Huelbat, “fuo game was blocked tu W innebago and Defall Connties, but in Kane the maching mon very vearly came out shead.

THE RAILROAD WAR. The business on the rallronds Ieading from this city has greatly fallen off during tho last fow weoks, aud therois hardly a lne which is not loslug moncy now, at the present low rates on freight and passengers. During the past summer the tralllc was unusually large. Bo mtch frelght has been golng forward that none of the roads could get all the'cars wanted, and the poarengers eame forward with such o rush that & few lines had often nine to twelyve sleop- cra attached, and had to usg two engioes, and in somo fnetances trains had to be divided up and run in scctions, But now all this hus ceased, Tho poasenzer traflic small, and the freight traflic has fallen of to such an extent that tho ery for cars has cnded. Whilo tho trailic was largo the quantity made up to sume cxtont for the Jow rates, and the roads, oratleast goma of them, wode quite fair net earninge. But since business hins again sssumned 1ts or dinary dullness there 8 nut & rona which can make both ends meet at the prevalling ligures, sud heaven aud carth are being moved by the disgusted managera to briug the present rail- rond war to an end, Thers can be but hitls doubt that if the present state of aflairs con- tinues during the winter, next spriog will sce a number of the Nnes leading to the East fol- low in tho wake of the Oalo & Mississipp! and go into bankruptey.

Last evening tho annual meeting of tho con- tributors and members of the Athenmum was Lield fn the locturs room of that institutlon, No. 03 Washington street. About 800 ladies and gontlemen wera present. Upon the staga were seated Judge Booth, Ald. Throop, C, C. Bonney, Murry Nelson, and Honry Btrong. Judge Booth occupled the chalr, and briefly summarized thefive years' laborsof the Athen- #eum, which are more claborately alluded to in the report of the Board of Gavernment, written by the Buperintendent, and given helow. Judge Booth sald that the Athenoum hadjasseried its rightto exist by the work it has done. 1fe pre- dicted great success for the institutlon in' the future. Ti8 ANRUAL REPORT, Sapt. T. B. Forbish then read the annual re- port of the Board of Government, which de- talls the listory of the Athenmum, and says that the Chlcago Young Men's Christian Unfon came into oxisteucein1871.

The report gocs on to say that since 1871 tho work to be done hae changed, After u tlme the necessity of special relicf work ceased apd {1t was sbunduned. As the braken ranks of soclety reunited, the valuc of the Atlienwuin a8 u 8oclal centre grew less, and now its chicf reason to beis the work which itis dolng for the young peopldof this city. But even this work s ctianging, The soclal lmrt roceives less attention, while the educa- funal grows constantly {n scops and {mpor- tance. There 18 less entertalmnent, but more study.
