DanviLLE, Ill., Dece. 80.—Belng u reader 6f your paper, I notlee several artlcles of 1ato on the subject of revenue und leglslation for the rellef of Chicago. Any legislation with & view to the reliet of Chicago would undoubtedly bo looked upon by many ns intended a8 speclaldeg- {slation for your city, and undoubtedly woukl meet with auch opposition in both Honses of the Leginlature, although I think some things mizht with propriety be done, If presented {n the proper manners and, if you will permit me the spuce fu your paper to say something about revenue, [ wish to offer some suggestions that wotld be a reliefl tothe taxpayers of Chleago, as well as every other city fn the State, It is o well-known fact that our scnool-tax ia one ol if not the most hunlensotno taxos of the State, partleidarly in the towns s cities where Iligh 2nd Academle Schools aro supported; and I would sugyest that an amendment tothe pres- ent School “Jaw be enacted, so ns taallow freo schooling to children between the ages of 6 and 16}, tho 16th year Inclunive, instead ot from 6 to 21'ss now. That would glvoa child ten vears' schuoling at publle expenae, amd would lessen tha school-expenses in all our large towns and cities one-fourth, as it would virtnallycut out the Hizh School at. publicexpense, which, 1 belleve, hus been crowded on to the people by the Stato Buperintendent, cuntrary to the contemplation of the School law. And I think the pcople would bave juat grounds for refusing to pay the tax lmposed upon them for the qummrl of the 1Igh Scliools; and, 1€ tho matter Is rufli- clently brought before the people, it will anpear that they arc ready for a chiange lr that matter.

A BRIEF BKETCIL 3r. Raster was born in Zerbst, a small town in North Germany, ahoul twenty miles from Mngdecburg, Alter mmlplnl!ng a ‘vourss of ine struction at the gymnasiun in_his native towu, be went to the University of Lelpsie, where he devoted four or five vears to the study of languagzes and political sclence, and graduated wllnd(sflng\llsll:d bouors. When the revolu- tion of 48 Dbroke out,=he, in common with mearly all the ~brillfant youug men of the time, joined tho unitication party, which hiad for its object the consclidation of all the tiernan Principalitics and Duchiles into ono confederation, The revolutionists were defeated, and the revolution suppresaed. Jts active workers were obliged to flee the country or o to prison. Mr. Raster preferred liberty, and in 18%) gt eall for America, In 1851 he'accepted an editorial posiiion on o small Gerinao_puper in Buffalo, where ho remalned a few months,and then returned to New York to accept the manag- ing editorahip of tho Abend Zeitung, and {n that pusition soon achieved o prominent place among the German journalists of that city. The Free mont campalgs of 1856 enlisted hia active sym- pothles, and slmost from fts fnception he was ong of the Jeaders of the Gorman wing of Repubdllcanlsm. Bnortly after Mr. Tdncoln’s Insuguration Mr, ° Raster wns appointed to sn important position in the New York Custom-House, where ho rematned until the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Prest~ dential chair. 1n 1807, ot the earnest sollcila- tlon of Mr, Hesing and other promiucnt stock- Tliolders tn the Staats-Zelfung, he woa induced to mever his rclatbons In New York, come to Chi- tago, and accopt the position of Viee-P'resi- dent snd managing-editor of the most Impor- tant and intluential’Geripan paper in the Northe west,—oflices which lis a¢ present holds, In 1870, TPettibone, wife of Georgo F.

A reward of #5300 was offered for the npprehon- slon of the murderer by My, Alhert Mortensen, arclative of the deccased.
