To the Editor af The Tribune. Ciiicaco, Match 3L—Very few people under- etand the real issues in the Town of North Chicago, and puppose there are a number of tickets in the feld, when there are really but two. As no state- ment has et appeared, T have written ont a histury of the several tickets and the efforts for true re- form made. iaving had an opportanity to exam- ine the town bookeas kept in former years,—which are, 1 must eay, a disgrace to this community,—I was prampted to write this article. Like the other parts of our city, the North Town had been taxed ona robed in 2 shameless manner, and <o, a year the taxpaying citizens determined to put a ticket in _the field, composed of such men as they conid trnst.’ to protect themr intercste. The weual party tckets wers nominated, but badly beaten. Having noticed the great difference it madein town affairs,—a saving of $10,000 in salaries alone, ~the citizens prominent in the pre- Tivus movement orzanized the North Side Citizens' Tnion, whose ohject I to sce that noue but honest and eficient men be _elected to’ local offices. To accomplish this all party ties were dropped and a practical reform commenced, A town ticket Wis seiecied, the Coilector and Supervisor being the same elected Jost year, whose record has been such thut they need no” commendation from me. The Assesgor is a well-known citizen, formerly in the wholesale grocery buziness, The Town Clerk s a mian of high character, and is agent for 4 steamboat company.” The Constables have been picked out ‘With reference to their capacity for doing the busi- ness they have to perform, and not with regard to their abihity to ~manipalate primaries, ~twhich s the nsual way. Alarmed at the prospect of ing azain beaten, the bummer politicians of bott Ppartice nnited and formed a so-called Fusion ticket. This ticket was then imdorsed by both the Re- publican and Democratic Couveniions, with the £xception thatin thelatter tae Fusion candidate for Asecesor was beaten, The following partics were aclive in securing the indorsement of the Fosion ticker: Frank Agnew, Peter Hand, John Cruwiord, Michael Corcoran. Jobn Wagner, William Vocke, Conrad Voltz, and John Mullms. The Ucket, comins from such a source, nceds no clenzation at my bands, and 1 would but sy, 1hat one of their nominees was indicted for bis ac- Lionas judgoat, the time of the charter election. ctwen these tickets the people have to choose.

JILDRETIL. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmicaco, March 31.—Beyond a doubt the most diercputable asplrant to the Council in the present contest is ex-Gauger Hildreth. Lis success at the polls next Taesday would be a disgrace to the voters of the Seventh Ward, and lasting reproach to the citizens of Chicago. Suck being the case, the voters of that ward owe it not only to them- sclves but to the good name of the respectable peo- ple of the city to make every effort to secure his defeat. This can be effected only in one way: by the respectable voters of all parties in that ~ ward laying aside partisan pride sod emulation, and uniting upon a3 respectable man who is capable, ou his own ac- count. of receiving the greatest aumber of respect- uble votes. Notwithstanding the necessity of thus acting in concert, the voters of the Seventh Ward are disposed to divide their votes. and the conse- quence will be the election of Hildreth. There are now three candidates in the field: Hildreth, who was nominated by the rag-tagele- ment of the Democrutic party; Riordan, Who was chosen by the respectable people of the same or- ganization; and Gardner, who was nominated by 2n obscure fraction of the Republican vote of the ward. The Democratic vote in the past clections for Alderman has more than doubled that cast for the Republican nominees, even when the latter were men able to command strength outside their party. 'Divide that vote equallv etween the two men now running, and both would receive a grcuter number than their Republican rival, eren thouzh he should receive the entire Repablican vote. To insure the clection of the lstter, outside votes must be commanded, and that is not to be thousht of. Tne entire vote of even the Lepublican Clnb of the ward cannot be counted on. Such being the cace, it follows that one or other of the Demo- cratic nominees wmust e elected; and, as one of these, Mr. Riordan, is a respectable and honest man, and opposed toone who is in the other ex- treme, wouid it not be a commendable act for the Républicans, with their minority of votes, un- able to elect their own men, to casi them for Mr.® Riordan and aminst Mr. Hildreth? To do so wonld_deteat the latter, which would be an in- mably greater benefit to the ward than the welfarejof any party, Mr. Gardner will not allow this; he will remain in the field and draw the votes of afew men who, hike himsclf. prefer fidelity to party to the welfare of the commaunity. HoNESTT. DOOLITTLE AS A COAXER. To the Editor of The Trivune. Cmicaco, March 3i.—In view of the election, T would call the attention of my countrymen to the remarks made by Mr. J. R. Doolittle, Jri, at the last Democratic Convention. He suid he wished that all the German and other foreigners would unite with the Democratic party, which was the only party taat respected their liberties, etc.,—or words 10 that effect, 3r. Doolittle meant to ray, i in Englsh: *‘Vote with us. We let you he beer youwant, Sunday or no Sanday. " ‘This is aninsult, aud it is surprising to ree in what estimation the Germans are held by Mr. Doolittls Heis a gentleman of culture and consi learning, and if he thinks that by pointing *“beur-1nug " he can coax or scare the Germans of this city info another alliance with the supporters of the Democratic ticket, he is sadly fooled. Times have chunged. The past is zone and forzotten, but Mr. D. may -be pardoned for his ill-judgment of the. Germanx. MHe Las lately been in company with (not many eitker) whose character has led him to form euch an opinion.

It is fun- ny how zentlemen of Jr. Doolittle’s inteliizence an be duped by men who control no votes wh er, not_cven their own. His experience in the *Muyor” busincss is amusing. very.

NEew Yonrx, March 81.—There is hardly room for doubt. that A. Oakey Ilall, of New Y i: the passenger Sutcliffé, discovered to-day on the steamsuip Victoria, which_arrived at Liver ol. He enzaged passaze Monday, the | inst., in Boston, and on the same evening at- fended the opeding performance ot the Globe Theatre of “Lomlon Assurance.” Durinz the day he ealled at the office and asked whether he could take passace on the Viet nd how soon ehe would sail.

Th Ezpress says: *That. the ex-Mayor left the city and country, as he did, and when he did, on'account of the Tweed trial, we think will he made evident to all when a proper exposure of names‘and dates are laid before the public. The statement _is made that as much as 3500,- 000 was paid for getting through the 1 charter, and that members of the Legislature, Democrats and Republicans, shared alike. We hear also of drafts as hich as £30,000, and runming down from 820,000 to §5,000, having been paid by a roundabout proe- ess through parties who may not have been di- re.tly interested, and every draft must have borne the signature of Mavor Hall. What has delayed Tweed’s release has been the necessary reconveyance of the transferred property back 10 himself, and by him to the city. 1t is under- stood that the Putnam County property is in- cluded in this transfer, and ‘that the water privileges of the lakes under contract, arc also to be translerred. —_ - 'DONALD. - Bpecial Dispajch o The Tribune.

Chiel-Justice Davis, who writes the opin- ion of the general term, gives warning and ad- yice to the legal fraternity. He says the evidence tended strongly to show, first, that all these irregularities wercunknown to the Baron- css Von Wallhofen at the time tue certificd copy of the judfiment was presented to her by the respondent, and that she made payment of 1he $2,000 under the agrecinent believing it bad been fully performed by the defendants, and that ber divorce was cffectual and complete. She was afterwards married to er present hus- band, and at such marriage ihe respondents were witnesses. This state of facts tends con- clusively to show that at the time the $2,000 were paid on the agreement the respondents were not eutitled to receive any portion of it, and that the appellant paid it in good faith, be- Jieving that the agreement had been fully per- formed. The law requires that every attorney and counsellor shall possess aud use” adcauate skill, und that he shall employ it in_every case, according to the importance and invricacy of the case, and if the case miscarrics in consequence of culpable neglect or gross ignorance of the attorney, he can recover no compensation for the servives which he hns rendered, but which were uscless to his clieft by reason of his neglect or iwmorance. lnorance of the laws and rules of practice on the part of attor- neys, or neglisence in conforming to them in us- obtaining judzments arc altowether iney able. Such iguorance and neglizence subj uttorneys to actions for injuries which tl clicuts iay sustain. In these days, wien lnw- yers are wade with suci casy and rapid facility, their unfortunate clients ought not to be de- prived of such protection as the right of action for malpractice can securce. In resuect to the introduction of proof before the referce of adulteries commitied long alter the action was commenced it Is a mild form of desciption -to gy that the act of the attoruey wes a gross irrewularity. Upon the question of actionable negligence or ignoranee of tho attorneys there was abundance of evidence to require ilie statement of the case to-the jury. Ticre was proof of very heavy ex- pense ‘in_court Ly_the appellant by reason of such_mnegligence. The general term of the Court reverses Judge Donohue’s order dismiss- ing the Baroness Von Wallhofen’s' complaint, and directs o new trial of the case. THE RAILROADS. A RAILROAD CAPTURED. SANDUSET, 0., March 81.—This city s greatly extited over the -change in the management of the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland Rail- road. So fas as known, Rush R. Sioane gotan order from Judge Finnefrock, of Fremont, yes- terday, for the appointment of James A. Lea as Receiver. Lea filed bis bonds and took pos- KL ) this morning. Sloane is the real manager of the road. Ordershave Leen received to dis- chargze all the men employed by the late Boston managers, and a complete change will be made in the personnel of the Company. The change will involve a suit at law which will probably end in the supremacy of the lute managers. In this city, however, the popular fecling 15 against the late manazement, not beeause of any luve for Sluane, but beeause of the discharee, from time to tine, of Sandusky men_by the Boston wanagel Sloanc is jubtlant. Heis “ondeck” and in possession. Moderate men rezardit as a shirewd trick, which, fora time, is successful Sloane has wany warm friends, Who are rejoic- mg over his success. WAR TO THE KNIFE.

FOREIGN. Official Announcement of Signing of the Protocol. the Yet tfie Signs of Peace Are Not Re- markably Reassuring. Turkish Defiance in the Way of an Amicable Settlement. The Russion Army Making Ready for a Forward Movement, ’ ° THE EAST. TIE PROTOCOL. Loxpox, March 81.—The 7imes’ correspond- ent says the protocol, in its final form, {s a sort of solemn call upon Turkey, recommending well-known reforms which are specified. There is no question of Turkey’s signing it, nor is there any form agreed on to which Turkey is expected to give adhesion or consent. The samne correspondent says Russia expresses readiness to treat directly with the Porte rela- tive to disarmament, and for that purpose to receive a special commiseion from Turkey in St. Petersburg, thus removing the objection Russia had to allowing the Powers any right of interference in the matter. BIGNED. Loxpoy, March 31.—It is officially announced that the Protocol has been signed, The Times leader says: * We cannot but see Turkey in the background behind all these fair arrangements of the Powers, so much depends on whau the Porte will do ordecline to do, and Russian disarmament is promised in expectution of g0 many things which may not easily bo fulfilled. On’the contrary, the domi- nant fecling in Constautinople is still defiance. In thelr present temper, the two Empires? sug: ‘gestion of negotiations for common- disarma- ment to be carried on by the Turkish delegate at St. Petersburgy DOE3 NOT APPEAR PROMISING. It may be said that the success or fatlure of this new attempt at pacification must be decided at Constantinople. The Government is in cir- cumstances fully justified in sending out Mr. Layard. The Turks are full of animosity against Russia, and distrust of Russia’s sceming abet- tors may be cven less reasonable than three months ago. Manyinterpret Russia’s overtures as signs of pusillanimity and weakness. Layard has had experience of the Turks, and perhaps there is no Euglishman to whom they would more readily listen. To him and the other Ambassadors we - must look to impress on the Torte the expediency of doing nothing which may be represented as nullifying the protocol. B A PERA DISPATCH éxplains the changes in the Constantinople gar- rison. It says: * The garrison exhibited symp- toms of sympathy with the seditious Softas, and is being gradually removed and replaced by recruits from Syria and other remote provinces —uncouth, wild-looking men on whose readiness to fire Government thinks it can rely. There are many Turks, as well as Christians, who only look for a chance of safety in foreign intervea- tion.” ’ THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The following is received from KischenefE: Gen. Skobeleff has been nominated Commander of the four corps which form the first line. Concentration towards the frontier is ordered to be complete by the Sth of April.
