Therecords develop the appearance of Mra. inole Le Cummings in legal proceedings other {ban those prescritied by statute as essential to the procuring of a divorce, Margaret Paynoand Willlam Payne Dave filed a Uil in chancery, gettlng forth I mournful verbiage the detalls of acertaln land swap, in which they claim that the paxom Minnie dld falsely, fraudulently, and in ofter ways begulle them out of certain vested rights In and to lots, pleces, parcels, and broad seres, lua way they desplsed. It appears that Medsm Minulo bloomed forth one moralng with sn adveptisement offering to exchango yaluable domain fn West Virginla for property situate, Jying and belng, and commencing at a goint Iu the County of Cook. Mrs. Paync saw the advertisement, and belng selzed a3 of her own right of certaln messuages, tenements, ete,, communleated the fact to Madam Mlnnie, with aview to exchange. At the mecting belween Mr. and Mg, Payue and Madam Minnie, tho lat- ter spoke in culogistic terms of the falr and peautiful stretches lying far away in her own sunny State, and besought the Paynes to touch ot the trade casy, so as Lo make her parting with her patrimony ns painless ns possible. Tuen she produced au abstract in which a methodical clerk certifted to the absence of in- cumbrances and tax licns, and which, down to o fxed date, scemed to indlcato that Madam Min- pleand & specified Jo Frank Cummings were Jwlully vested in the property and beld an estate therein, Then they told ber of thelr possesslung, some of which lay In Mount Forest, some in Washington Ilecights, and some in gsmpson and Green’s Addition, on the West fide. But thoy convinced Madam Minnia that thelr property, belug nearer Chicago than hers, bora the predter market value, ‘hereat sho soswered that she would THROW IN A CHATTEL which she then and there scheduled asomo plano, be the same more o 1es, This was Jook- ed npon with favorable eycs by the Paynes, and the contract of exchange was niade. The blll proceeda to the allegation that short- Iy before the exccution of the exchange convey- ances, Madam Minnie, in preat distress of soul, emerged from documenta and went fn on her word. 8hehad agreed to have the abstract brought down from tho date it bad reached, but behold, inpossibilitics had intervened. “Lex neminem coglt ad linpossibilia,” sald Madam Binne, referring to the by-laws of the Teachers' Leaguo for the pronuncintion of the worda, * and I can't get thatabstract continued that's 0at. Now what sball we do?” So 1t was nereed that Madam Mianie should make an aflidavit that she had neither conveyed sor Jncumbered the West Virginia prnlpnrly, and upon this tho deeds wero exceuted. Madam Minnie, with a fragrant mgh, guve up all her right, title, and intercst In the roods, perches, and poles of Masou County, and therel gmld ssaigned, trunsferred, and’ set over to the sald Paynes, their helrs, assigns, exccutors, and ad- miufatrators, the same, warraoting a good, clear, and suflicient. tll.‘e, and binding her ex- ecutors, admninistrators, or sasigns, and her Lelrs, and thelr executors, administrators, or as- tlgng, to tho svlemnn duty of protecting the sald porties of the second part aguinst ul comers, forcign and domestic. In return, tho Paynes, with equal solemnity, Mudam Minnle became smenable to the divers tax-collectors for the annual usscssmenta upon aer landed wealth, S TIT DOMAINS. Now the property on which the West Vir- ginla sunbeams shone golden was rather vaguely described as beginning at o somewhat, mdefinite **ash and white oak, on n brauch of Mud River, belng the most westerly coruer of atract of land contalning 10,000 acres,” From this yemarknblo starting-polut, it ran with o line of the sameo south 52 degrees east, 1,310 les, to two sugar trees, which lad conven- ently sprung up on “‘another corner of sald tract™'; thence, with another line thereof north, Y degrees cast, 824 poles; thence due north, 830 pales, to another point in the most north- erly line of said tracty thenco with said line south 86 degrees west, 1,840 poles, to the ash or white oak, the polut or i:hwe of bc%hmlug, the whole containing |60 neres, Nay, mure, it was not swampy, nor was it murshy, "1t was iunt the kind of laud for asmall fuily to own, “But tho Paynes, in fm- plous bil] in ¢hancery filed, say and dver, and to the proof thereof put themselves upon the country, that such land was mountalnous, and in high bilows and low vatleys rolled; and fur- ther, that when for thelr acres. they did call, they fouud thero was noland atall,” The ash and white-oak, the sugar-trees, the most wost- erly corner aud the most northerly line came not forth at their beliest, “Mother,” sald the falr young daughter of Madam Minnie,ns sho looked from the window, v:':m ;L:OEIW'E' “lhere comes Payne, which bought e land,’ Madain Minnle braced hersclf.

Ot course, it thia process were continued, the Electoral voles of ull the Statcs would bo thrown out, In this case then, after the two Houses had finished thelr work, there would bo no election of Presldent, beeause it would bo deelded by the two equal witnessce and Judges which the Constitution had convened, namely, the two Houses, that no Electora wera appolnted, And in this case the Houso could not procecd to elect a Lresident, beeause there would be no Hst of persons lav- ing the hizhest number of Elcctoral votes to choosc from. In this case the President of the Scnate, after March 4, 1877, would become Prcal;lcnt until o President were chosen by the ople. pcn';l)‘ some may object, and lll‘{ that the Elect~ orat votes of all tha Stutes could not be thrown ot but it must be remembored that Congress 18 supposed to bo acting under the iwenty-sec- ond jolut rule, and this rule gives either House the supreme sight, from which there {s no ap- cal, to object to the vote of any State. And, ndeed, it might bo wise for either House to throw out the votes of all the Stotes, and thus compel another popular vote for President in November, 1877, {f 1t should appear thereby that the danger of @ popular raclution were averted, 1t will be seen’then that the joint rule twen. ty-sccond invests Congress with supreme ju- diclal, 88 well a5 minlsterlal, lut.lmrlt{ over the Presidential questlon when it mcets to count and judgu the Electoral vote, The Coustitution clearly makes it the duty of the Ilouse to choose a Presldent when there I3 atlo In the Electoral votes betweon the two highost Prosidentlul candidates; but it does not provide for the grave dileinma of wlon thero is & tlo between tha two Houscs a8 to whols chosen for Presldent. It 1s now probable that when the Elcctoral yotes are placed before the two louses that the Senate whil declde that Mr. 1fnyes has 185 votes, nnd {8 elected Prealdent; while the House will decfde that Mr. Tlden has 185 votes nnd fa elected. Here then fs a tio, not between the Presidentinl candidates, hut be- tween the two judges—the two llouses which were to dectde o8 to whether there were a Presldent chosen, Divesting the subject of all legnl quibbling, and remembering that we are now confronting a dilemmu that the Constitu- tlon made no provisions for, what liad we het- ter do nbout 47 Under this case the bald- faced truth stands fn bold reliet that the ques- tlon us to whether we have chusen a Presldent or m‘n fs in doubl.

The next hest thing under the sun to the worlt of the fathers {8 tho conmon sense of their cilldren, It will never do to Mexicanize tho Republle simply be- cuuso we don’t know whether cithor party has chosen President or not, It the worst comes to the worst, and the matteris allin the deepest doubt, there is one rond, }lm one rond, aad o sure one, out of all trouble; nnd that is to let the President of tho Senato becone our Chief Exccutive untll next November, when the peoplo cau choose n President. This will by digoitied sclf-government. But it will not be suceessful self-government to plunge into revo- lution and anarchy simply because we find our- sclves confronted by a condition of affalrs which tha good old futhers falled to provide for in the Constltution. ‘To carry out this purpose, and exclude all possibility of revulution, will perhaps come nearcr satlsfying the majority of the people.

Condemnation Proceedings by the . Metropolitan City Railway. A Question of General Intorest to Chi- cageans About to Bo Tested. Mr. Bennett Gets OQut of Jail---Record of Judgments and New Sults. The trial of tho case of the Metropolitan City Raflyvay Company v, The West Division Rail- way Company came up for trial before Judge Rogers yesterday afternoon. A formal motfon was first made by Mr, L. G, Pratt on behalf of the complainant to strike the suswer from the tiles, and overrnled without argument, The suit is brought to condemn, in the man- ner provided by statute, whatever right or fran- chise tho West Divislon Rallwoy Company may haye in Canal street from Fourteenth street to Lake strect, aud {n Lake from Canal street enst to the Unfon Depot. The West Division Company clalins that, Ly certain ordinsuces of the city, it acquired a right to 1ay a track on the nboye named streets, which right was alter- ward surrendered on condition that no ather Company should thereufter be sllowed the same privilege. The Metropolitan City Rattway Company was organized about eighieen months ngo, the first ever heard of it buing at the time the Cominon Council granted it leave to lay tracks on Lake and Canal strects, Hoon after that ordinance was passed, and in Scptember, 1875, the Mectropolitan Company took steps to use Its newly acquired rights, but was stopped Ly n bill fled in the United Stutes Circuit Court by a Mr, Foster,n stockholiter In the West Di- vision Company. An Injunction was granted by Judgs Drummond, and the case hung for some tine. The Mectropolitun Rallway Com- pany then Gled o petition in the County Court to condomn, and (¢t was then ruled to show causo why {t should mot be punished for contempt in disobeying the apirit of tha injunction. Aftersowe aruments, Judgo Drumnond finally directed that the Company should be allowed to prosecute a po- ourts, and haye it varried to the Bupremo Court, and should then inform him of the result aud awalt further orders, Jn necordance with this order, a peti- tlon was filed in the Circuit Court, but subse- quently dlsmlssed on account of a technieal er- ror and thie present proceedineg cominenced. A loniz st of pleas were filed Lo the petitlon, but ware stricken from tha fllcs a few days agzo, and an suswer was flled instcad. This answer 18 very voluminous, consiating of clEhty—ulght pagus legaleap, and setsup every possible pround of " defense. It denfes the Jegal existence of the Metropolltan Ul:& Rallway Uonl:'run{ or the passage of the ordinance of April, é75, which gave It life. _The maln ground, however, i3 that tho West Division Company hasa prior right granted to it by the ety years ago, and wiijch, though subisequently surrendered, was only given up on condition that no similar privi- lewres wero' glven to any one clse, so that the Motropolitan Comnpany” can therefore never Iegally acquire any riglits on thege strects.

M.~llaving read it your pa- per of Saturday an account of a dog selzed with hydrophobla, and biilng many persous, it bas oceurred to me to suzgest a fow commou-sense remarks regarding the treatment of dogs. In my childicod I lived In & country village, and tho iden nmong the fuhabitants nt that time wnsLuml. the cuusa of the disease called hydro- puobly uriciuated with the foxes in the woods during the winler, when, ull the streams belng frozen, they could ot obtaiu water, and went tmad for the want of it, and bit the dogs when they eame In contact with them, Now, may not the'same cause produce the disease in u large city like Chicago, where all the dogs, with few cxeeptions, ure clmluuxl up atl the time! The water given them mur)' freeze or be upset, nud 80 they have to o thirsty half the t‘mc; and we all know the agony of thirst unappeased. To my mind the havit of chnluing a dumb brute by @ short chalu to a miscrable kennel, or, worse still, in o dark barn or underground cellar where he never seea the light of day, for If Lo s taken out of his dreary prison, it 1310 run a few blocks at night with an Indifler- ent servant or o thoughtless boy-guide. Dogs are soclal unimale, fuliof love for their master even when he beats them cruelly, and yet they are treated as though they were wild beasts, who would devour every oae within reach, and i1, after spending w Lrofling hot summer and freezing winter {n wesriness apart from thefr own kind and the companlonship of man, with n pleco of salt meat, perchancy, for food, hall the timu eraving water and pulling at the chain they cannot DLreak, weary nature eives out, and the fermonted blood” becomes polsonous, and the dog goes mad, every one woners at the phenomenon, aul some person entlrely inno- cent of the eruclty that produced the dire dis- case becomes the ¥ictim by the bite of the rabld beast. Noone witha spurk of kindly fecling can walk through the streets of Chlcago with- out having pity excited by the sight of the over- 1aden or half-starved Lorscs, or bearing the mel- ancholy wall of & pour dog rising from under the eldewnlk where he heurs, but sces not, fu his Jonely, dark, aud dreary prison, In New York that goml man Bergl las got public fountalns, where at the base a small basin {s made for the dogs, where they can allay their thirst. Hore there scemns no such provislon for them. Cannot the Humane Soclety see to theso thivgs? and, perbaps, when giving to the dog they may benefit their fellow-men by eaving wany from the dresdful desth of hydrophobia. A rerdict, PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE. v tha Editor af The Tribune. Cuicaco, Dec. L. —Every theatre, every hall, every church, cvery public echool bulld- {ngg, and all the city and county buildings shonld bo vonnected by telegraph with the Fire und Pollce Departmonts. Alitheschuildings should be provided with applinuces for extingulshing fires, as well as means of cscape.

At each church, ball, or place of mmusement, one tireman should bo stationed, under strict orders not to leave his pust or Wis apparatus. The doors should "be in charge of per- song strong onongh to control, if not divide and_ direct the outrushing throng, If ut each door could be let down ron-rods forming parsllel bars or gateways Jt would sten the panfe-stricken crowd, and glve au fu- dividual avenue avenus of escape. Iu time of paule doorways are too hrond—thus enabling the crowd to rush pell-mell ngainst snd over one _another,—whcreus several narrow {nde- pendent passage-woys as between bars would ennble all to escaps without fettering cuach othier. A narrow stream rushes more swlitly than a broad one. Ten narrow entruiices or exits aro much safer thun one or two large onee. When o erowd learns that it must take its turn, then du will be calin uud orderly, Bomething is needed to stop paufes o8 well “as put out fires, A shower bath of cold water upon the heads of a pande-stricken crowd would bring it to its seuses In short order. A sudden and mo- mentary estiuction of the lights might haye the sunie effect Every publie nudlence should possess at least one fidividual of commanding vofee and presence, who {s capable of arresting uzunhmnmle rush of the pante-stricken in thme ol re. 4 B WIAT MR, PRUSSING BAID.)

Proposed Organization of & Branch of the Illinois League in This City, A Committee Appointed to Set the Ball in Motlion. ' An Instructive Speech by the Hon, Charles Hitchcock. A mecting was beld at the Grand Pacific last evening for the purpose of organizing the Chi- eago Club of the I}linois Free Traders' League, A number of prominent citizeus were present. The meeting was called Lo order by Mr, Edward 8. lsham, who stated that they bad come to- gether {n the Interest of free-trade principles,— perhaps one of the best known principles in uolitical economy. Ile moved to elect the Ion. Cnarles Hitchcock to preside, and the motion was carrled, Mr. Hitcheock, on takiog the chair, read a rather exlinustive treatisc on the subject of free trade. Tho Assoclation which they pro- posed to form was to toke on a nun-partisan character, and he considercd that it would attract the sttention of the people from the political muddle at preseut existing in the vountry, whereln one party claimed that it was cheated st the polls, and the other that an attempt was being made to count out its candf- dates, It lnd been asserted that, whichever candidate wos clected, Lia party was virtually beaten. If this were true, it were well to have rome broad question of natfonal political cconomy, such sa the question of free trade, to occupy the attention of the public. The spenker was awars bat this-question was well understood by the majority of his auditurs, and, therefore, any remarks he’ might make would be somewhat unnecessars, Nevertheless, he proceeded to define the ndvantare arising from ree trade, and to expose the fallacies of protee- tion. The latter, he declared, was in opposition toevery principle of common eenseund falr cotpetition in the markets of the worid, Labor w3 most I)rolll.abluwbcu producing the greatest number of articlex for use and exchanze, Coulld the labor and cupital necessary, within certain couditious, to produce vertain articles, be applied soasto crentes product cxchangeable for such articles made under different condi- tlons, it Was clear tiut Jubor and aipital ought to be eo applied. An Iilinols farmer, for in- stance, was compelled, under o protective tar- T, to GIVE A DUSUEL OP WIEAT for & hoe made in Penusylvaniu. Without any turil he could purchiaee His hoe, and yet equatly as good @ one, frow Shetlicld, England, for half a bushiel. His industry was taxed upon every hoe hought by Just the value of Lulf 2 bushel of wheat, Still worse, the Public Treasury celved notling, ud the FPenusylvania may facturer recelved no just - cowpensation for the prudu of bl industry, Nevertheless, it was generadly held that the greiate of production was fucreased by the arti- tieial diversity of pursults, causcd by such tuxa- tlon of proauietive powers. A torifl levied fur the protection of auy industry must fall to ne- complish the reeults at whieh it simed; or, fn other words, while it fmposed aburden upon many clusses It guve no sdeqguate protection to the fuvored closs, Expericuce had proved the truth of this oasertlon, The speaker hod some years ago discussed this question, or thls phase of the question, with o manufacturer in New = England. This _ manufucturer once hicld a prowinent office in Ilinols aud fn the Government. ence, hix oplnions on any question within the scopo of s inquiry were entitled to great respect. e wus then manu- facturine a certain line of leather goods, aud he ¢lafmed that the jdea of protection was delusive. It failed, at lcast, to protect lim in hia special industry. e wanted cheap hides, and there was a high turiff on hides from South America. ‘That country was then the chief source of sup- ply. 1lebud a_tannery in Michizan, aud there wWis also o tarifT on hemlock bark bronght from Cunnda. He ueed 200 workinen, and thicrewas o turltfurt wool, coal, timber, glass, steel, crock- cry, lluen, and cotion guods, and even on sait. ‘Tlie result was thut ho was obliged to PAY HIGH WAGE3 to Lils laborers so thut they might be able to buy the nceessaries of Hfe. ~Nevertheless, many could not see that protection does not proteci. In the speaker's opinlon they were led astray Ly a mere nane, Lvery duty levied upon an fimported article was added to 1ts cost and paid by the consumer, This was asiclear as the demn- onstration of a vroblem in Euclid. And yet many supposed that the tariff wag an ingentons device to compel farelguers to contribute to the support of Amcrican_Government, The happluess of mankind was directiy derived from the consumption of useful articles, and not from thefr mere prodactlon. It was, therefore, to the interest of the consumer that all desira- ble articles should Lo abundant and clieap, and to the Intervst of the producer (not {cnumuy but of any l&xcual thing) that it should be scarce and dear, Nevertheless, the gain to the pro- ducer often blinded the syes of the political ceonomist to the far greater losses of thy con- sumer, It was his hope that the principles of {ree trade would be mude moro famlliar to the publie by the Club, and lie called upou Mr. Mac. dowell, the Bceretary of the Illinols Free-Trade League, toinform the meeting asto how mat- ters stood In the State. MR. MACDOWELIL reported that the League was Ina very pruns}cr— ous condition. Much vatunble assistance had Leen derived from the brethren In Boston and New York, and he hoped a committee would be chosen to draw up a Elnn of organizatlon. On otion the Chairinan appointed the fol- Towing-named geutlemen as 8 coinmittee to de- vise a sultable plan of orgunization, with in- structlons to report at a subsequent meeting whichi they are to call : H. A. Huntivgton, Franklin MacVeagh, E. O. Brown, Willlam"Macdowel}, and H. D, Llny-l. The mecting then adjourned subject to the cail of the above Cominittee. e —eD—— .
