[ FEMALE SCANDALS. The Tempest in a Teapot Now - Agitating Christ Church. Anonymous Letters and an Unavailing Search for the Author. What the Husband of the Accused Has o Say on the Subject. Apain hos the anonymous letter-writer stirred up strife in a once happy, peaceful block. Dis- cord has succceded harmony; confidence has given way to suspicion; and & committee of in- vestigation is on the track of the guilty party. Anopymous communications, as @ general thing, are best disposed of by simply letting them alone,—ibe cowardice that must animate the guthor being pretty safely assumed as an argument against their truth. But when,in a religibus soclety like Christ Church, over which Bishop Cheney presides, some score of ladics receive communications reflecting in a very de- dded way upon the moral character of their ‘hushands, and when sald communications seem to point to a certain member of the aforesald “ Ars Shy cx;inincd that she could have no motive for writing these letters, and that she had received seme herself.” THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH:1l, 1877--SIXTEEN ' PAGES. .

During the past,month or so these letters have been coming, at intervals, whoever he or ghe js, to the ladies of Bishop Cheney's flock, some of them containing a great deal of tedious matter which didn't amonnt tomuch in any case; in short, such innocent h-lvallfics‘u many ladles will talk abour over tea and toast, and others containing matter of a more serious nature. In fact, the latter even go so farasto assert, for instance, that Mr. A, the hueband of the lady to whom the letter Is addressed, is pay- ing altozether too much attention to a certain woman, or, as in other instances, they charge, with amazing directness of statement, that Mr. B- is supporting another woman who sustains 10 him, for the time being, such relations as ought only to exist between husband and wife.

That was the question, and the Iadies undertook to solve it. During - the time the Bisbop had ministered to his -flock Mrs. Clieney had .vers naturally received large number of potes, cards, leiters, ctc., 1rom the ladies of ke congregation, and, while averse fo thinking that any of the ladies whom £he had considered herfriendscould be so utter- 1y base, 50 thoroughly depraved, as to indite such wicked calumnies, yet, in order to eift the matter to the very bottom, she gathered to- gether what had been presented of this mass of correspondence and compared it with thenotes received by ber indignant friends. After a vast deal of ing and comparing it was found .that the handwriting of the anonymous letters was jdentical, or at Jeast the ladies were positive it was, with _the bandwriting of n Mrs.—,a member of the church. Discovery No. 2. But 4t was sstounding, S0 much so, in fact, that at | first blush it appeared actnally improbable. WEAT COULD BE THE MOTIVE 1o inspire such conduct in & member of this church family,—a commuvicant at the same altar, 2 believer in the same faith, and, furthermore, a woman heretofore associated with the ladies of the church in the most inti- mate and pleasant, relations, and agaipst whom there had pot been the Jeast breath of suspicion? Tac stern facts, however, stared them in the face, and, Iike Banquo's ghost, would not down. After ully pondering over the matter, they came to the conclusion that the only possible motive of the writer could bave been jealousy, coupled with thedesireforrevenge. Theyremem- bered that Mrs. —— had aspiratiops towards an office of their sodlety, but that, when it came to canvassing the ¢lectoral vote, she was, to use a familiar phrase, * counted cut.” Hence, they cenjuded, arose the notive—this petty desire 10 gt even with those who had subjectea ber to 1his fuucied slicht.

A Bunguen. CORRESPONDENCE. LET TAE LAW DE EXECUTED. To the Editor of The Tridune. Cricaco, March 10.—As an Inhabitant of this city allow me to thank you for your timely editorial in the fssue of Sunday, March 4, in regard to the local elections eoon to take place. As you remark, this election is of scarcely less importance to every citizen as well as those who are connected by business relstions with us than the na- tional -ome recently settled st Wash- ington. If business should- revive all over the country, as we have good reason to hope, there surely could be no more cer- tain way of sccuring our due sharc of such busi- vesu than by the election of a good and stable City Government, such as the present onc has proved tobe. On the other hand, it is as Jully evident that if we place in powera City Administration of ‘baa repute, whether such reputation be deserved or not, we shall drive away from us and other lo- calities much capital that would otherwise come here, perhaps enough to keep up the present duil- ness in businese circles and the distress which bas Eprung from this sonrce. Evers ome knows how eensitive capital is to ali such infiuences; indced, instances must be known to many Individuals, as well #s to the writer, where money which came bere for investment was withdrawn on acconnt of the evil name we achieved under a former Administration, There is not a working msn in this city who is not personally interested in this matter, and who cannot understand that not only the volume of labor _required, but the amount of daily wages they reccive, depends very largely upon the character of the City Gov- ernmdnt, If this be bad, if taxes are high, life and property unsafe, surely those who have money to epend, and are seeking new homes, will not come and settle with us, ond here use their capital in setting mechanics and laborers to work in building houses, efc., or in other pursuits_which require money for thelr dne performance. If, as you just- 1y remark, **the resnectable and property-owning ciasecs cannot do better than to nominate the present Mayor and, as far as may be, the Aldermen und associutes who have acted with him,™ how much more important is it that those who are de- Eenflen( upon their daily labor for their daily read should make such nomination, and one and all vote for -its ratification? 'This is not s quession of party -politics st all It is as bad to 'starve under omc party name as another, and Sirely there are hundreds of Iaboring men who cannot be deceived by any call- ing of names or promises of employment or {:us(- tion on the part of those who, by this means, hope 10 obtain their votes. A far-sceing political writer tells the people to reverse all a corrupt officesccker’s promises before he gets into power in_order to know how far he will” make dgaml these promises when he shall have attained his quest. “And indecd, from the very nature of things, ench promises could not to any extent be fulfilled, as a hundred or more are made for each position or place which may be within the province of the promiser to influence. There is another point of view in whicn the pres- cnt City Governmert deserves epecial commenda- tion from every onc who believes in the ** reign of Jaw and order.” uUne who has not traveled ont of the city can scarcely conceive of the change which has been brought about, as it regaras it cood name, eince the present Government came into power. Smile at it as we will, we bud surely got the repu- tation of being **the wickedest city'*in the conn- try. Now the whole thing is chanzed asif by magic. Our credit, which was at the lowest cbb, jsat hightide. Our police arc managed with con- summate gkill and judzment, and are most eflicient in the performance of their arduous duties. Our Fire Department js one of the best in the world, and is, s it deserves to be, the pride and boast of the city. There isno grander sight than to wit- ness the rush of men and horses with the engines 25 the alarm-bell calls to the scene of doty. But gnku of the most wonderful changes which has aken n place s ‘in regard to crime “and’ the criminal classea in the city. As yom remark, r. Editor, *Lifeand property under the old Tecime was rendercd insccure by tne enconrage- ment of the criminal clasees.” And itisa ques- tion for the people to decide. whether the city elsll again be turned over to the depraved and vi cious classes; whether the thieves and bunco men sball enjov immunity from prosecution; whother the gamblers ehall ‘have Jicense to reopen their hells, and whether licentious shows and infamous dens” shall be publicly tolerated to lurv the yonng into vice. and be encouraged by the epecial favor 2nd personal attendance of **city officlals.” The change whichhas taken place In this respect re- minds me of o similar change wrought in Cuba in the old time when the bold buccancer sailed the seas and the crews of numbers of captured vessely Were compolled to walk the blank bechise 1~ dead men tell o talea.” As 1have made this compatl. £on, it may ot be uninteresting to your readars 1o give some few facts in regard fo it.

And where the law was such ihata very large number of crimos -wese punishable with death, capital punishment became Jess freguent thon 'in thos¢ countrics where comparatively few crimes had thia pepally atlached (o them. Thus the sure infliction of the death penalty almast sholished the necessity, a8 perhaps would be the case with us if the class ' 6f criminals who are sub- jected toit were sure of detoction and punish- ment. v 1t may be thonght by some that there 1§ no com- parison between the two cases as regardy the difi culties of the task the two Governments had to per: form, and this certanly is the case, if we rezard the Government of our city as being the least difil- calt of the two. In the casc of Cula the Governor had absolute power withan army to do his bidding. In this city the power of the Executive is every way hampered, and the worst and most noted criminals often escape from this cause alonc. Who shall say then that the Mayor aud his asso- ciates inthe Government have not bada most Herculean task to perform, and that they have not done their work well, and,if they are willing to go an with this labor, onght not thic voters of Chica- go rejoice in the opportunity of thus employing them?

HOW THE RESPECTABLY CLAS3ES MAY AGREE UPON AND SELECT A MAYOR. 7o the Edisor of The Tribune. Curcaao, March 10.—All respectable citizens of Chicago are agreed that it ls most desirable that the era of moderate taxation and no bummerism should be continued in our city, for we all feel that two or threc years of cconomical, reputable rule will give ns a repatation (not to speak of the materml advantages to ourselves) worth millions and tens of millions to our city. The only dificnlty scems to be how to call to- gether men of both partics to agree upon a candi- date,—for that a)l good men of both parties must unite in order to beat the disrepntables is acknowl- edgea by all. Here is my plan: Call a Joint Convention of both parties. Select the members of the Convention by ward meetings, or in uny other way that may seem best, only nom- 1nating from each ward an equal number of each party. Let the Couvention then make two nom- inations, one of a Democrat the other 8 Republic- an, aud being selected by both parties the selec- tions will be likely to be from the best clement of each party. ‘Then decide by lot which of these two men shall be the Union candidate for Mayor, all the members of the Convention first agresing for themselves and their respective parties to abide Dy the result, 1 sugzest that this agreement follow the nomina- tions and only precede the choico Dy Jot, so that Doth sides may see that however the final choice goes the result will be satiefactory to the_taxpay- ers of the city. Uniox. [The practical objection to this **lot™ plan is that it will not be adopted.—Ep. ] MAYOR DEATH. To the Editor of The Triduns Cnrcaco, March 9.—I notice in geveral commu- nications to the press that friends of several of our Dest citizens have suggested their names in con- nection with the office of Mayor. ‘Ihis is natural and to be expected, but while all they eay about the qualifications of thelr respective favorites ls probably trae. will they answer the question which noturally suggests itsell to every good and disin- terested citizen, Why should we change Mayor Neath? Heis noexperiment. He has been tried and found capable, honest, energetic, and saccess- ful. Somemen oppose him—gamblers and dis- honest politicians, and a few miseaided but honest men Who have not followed his adwmimstra- tion sufliciently to judze of its merits correctly for themeelves, and have imbibed wrong impressions. The last cry started by the gamblers is that the Vagruncy act is not enforced. Now the record tells the tale, and the followinz shows the conv tions on that charge: In 1572, G73; 1873, 6UL; 1874, 1,077; 1875, 1,133; and in 1876, 1,333, If ome of our zood citizens who renily want an hon- est_and economical administration would hunt down other charges as they ure mado I_think they would arrive at similar results, ISQUIRER. SAMUEL G. SPAULDING. o the Editor of The Tribune. Coicago, March 8.—Various names have been proposed as suitable candidates for the office of Mayor, all undonbtedly very good men, but can any one of them be elected? We can't afford to risk any eccond-ratc man against the **Colvin combination.” The candidate who beats that combination must have pot only the quali- fications for a good Mnyor, bLut the abili- tv to get enough votes to elect him. Such a man 15 Samuel G. Spaulding, head of the great manufactaring house of Spaulding, Merrick & Co. Mr. Spaulding is & native of Brandon, Vt., where his boyhood was spent in acquiring an ed; cation, and where he developed that vizorous in. dependence of character nnd sturdy honesty which have since been such marked traits in his character. While yet a boy, those sterling qualities, aided by industty and enterprise, had ruised him to an en- viable position in the mercantile world. In 1865 he established in Chicago_the great manafacturing induetrywhichgivea employment to nearly 1,000 ueflnlc. and whose prodicts have made his name a ouschold word with the mercantile community from Maine o Oregon. SouTE WATER STREET. .C. G. TRUSDELL. To the Editor af The Tridune. Cuicaco, March 10.—Will you, through your Paper, allow. a citizen of the Thirteenth Ward to express his opinion in reference to our coming spring election, and the kind of man that shonld be nominated for Mayor? We want a man of abil- ity,—exccutive as well as administrative; one who has been tried and not found wanting In either quality; one who nas always stood ready to nsslst in the maintenance of right and justice; who wiil look to the best interests of the greatest number; one who will have influence with the business por- tion of our city, and with all representative class- es. It such o man can be. pamen will ot every citizen rut shoulder to -the wheel, pat him in nomination, and elect him? I have heard. the, | names of diferent men and good men mentioned, but nove that have been received with more en’ thusiasm than that.of C. G. Trusdell.

Provisions, whéat, and corn broke early, and other markets followed sulit, thoughthe advices from othet points _werc not. discouraging” to_holders till after New York had felt the mflaence of the weakness in Chicago. The feeling was somewhat influenced by the fact of clearer weather. The trading was chiefly for future delivery, thongh a fair business waydone in provisions for shipment. In the market for domestic dry goods no changes werd apparent. Quictudestill prevails iii most de- partments, and prices maintain a steady tone. There wisa moderate movement in staple and fancy grocerles, and & comparatively steady set of pricos. Atthe decline of the day before sugars ‘were firm and {n better demand.

In the butter and checse markets Jittle change wes developed, the former remaining dull and imauttled, and the latter firm at13%@1435c. Leather was quiet and steady. Bagging was firm and unchanged. There were no changes of moment in the market for paints, oils, and colors. Hogs were dull and weak at $3. 20@5.75 for poor to chotce heavy grades, and at 5@5.35 for, light. Cattle were quiet and firm at 83.25@5.75 for common to choice. The sheep market was steady at $3.00@5. 50. > The lumber market was moderately active and steady. Hardware was nnchanged. The demand for wool, hides, hay, and broom-corn was again moderate, and prices were unchanged. Seeds were alittle more active, timothy being a shade easier. Green fraite were generally steady and in-fair local request. Fine dreesed pouitry was in good de- mand and firm, the offerings being scarcely ade- quate. Eggs were slow and easier. Rtetailers bay only from hand to mouth, and the supply is kept upin spitcof the cold weather. Potafoes were selling more freely from store, the cold preventing liberal deliveries Ly the farmers, bat car lots were slow and casy, excepting peachblows, which, how- ever, were seldom offercd. - Rail freights were dull and irregular, with no change in asking fgures. The nominal rate was 35c to New York and 40c to Boston' per 100 s of grain. Lake freights were quiet, with no change in fig- ures. Corn to Buffalo was quoted at 34@34%c, and 7c to Kingston, to load immediately. There was some inquiry for freight room, but nothing re- ported. GOODS RECEIVED at Chicago Castoms March 10: L. M.
