C., June 23.—~Charles Reed, Edmund Jucssen, and Anton Juuker left to- night for Chicago, having accomplished one of tho purposes for which which they came on the 22Qtust. Separate petitions were presented to Becretary Sherman on bebalf of Roclle, Junker & Co.and . )L Ford & Co. to open and sot aslde the judgmenta ngainst them fo the United Btates District Court at Chicago, aud to allow _them to Interpose defenses {rfthie sults, These petitious were at onco referred to Ase sistant - Sccretary French, who referred them to Commisioner Raum. Gen. Rautn examined them and this morning con- sulted with Secretary Shorman aboutthem. The result is that a letter has hieen writton to-day District-Attorney Bangs directiog bim not to oppose motlons to open and sct aside these judgments. This leaves the proposition to comprom!ise the {ndn‘munl by tho payment of £10,000 stiil pending in the Departinent subject to nccoptance unicas withdrawn, The order which Commsslonier Rawin hus sent is pract!- cnlly the samo as that sent to Judge Banga in -tho'Healng case. I Is not a mandate to the Judge, and undor the law could noy be, Itisa dircetion to the Government Attornev not to opporo the otionitu reopen the judgment, but whether the judgment shall be opcped is left to the discreilon of the Judge. Theso aro the ouly two reniuining cases whore judgments have been found in which cither tho defdodants or tue bordamen are worth anything.

Editorials gravely state that he was fu com- pany with United States Yudge Bond, agalnst ahom the chivalry havo a spite on account of his actlon fn connection with tho sults rela- tive to the election; and that for that reason ho could not recelve soclal consideration.

The chivalry may bo ashiamed of thelr condugt, but they cannot, and no one for the Chle{-Juatice can, deny the fuct. NO NEGHO DEMOCHATS. One of ths frequent bonats of the Democrats in the campaign was that numbers of negroes voted the Democratio ticket, and bad become Democrats, The Richmond Dispatch, which arrived to-night, deules this fu an editorial, which opposca allowlng negroes to vote at the Democratle primary elections, ‘t'he Dispatch says there are no Conservative ne, s, and to open the baliot-box mu:firou would be to o‘pen 1t to fraud, The DispatcA adds,** Wudonot belicvp that 100 negrues voted the Conservative [mcan- ing Democratic] ticket at avy election ever \c}d in Viginta.

Bpectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Deitnost, Mich., June 23.—The Michigan Cen- tral election, which occurs next Monday, Ia now virtually decided. Thero {s no longer any doubt that the present Directors, headed by Sam 8loan and Moses Taylor, will carry the day. Informa- tion was received hero today that bothJay Gould and W, If. Vanderbilt have given up the fight. Mr. Taylor telegraphs Mr. Joy that on the 10th of this month Mr, Vanderbliit calied on him and dellvered to him proxies for 40,000 shnres, with the permission to vote them as hie pleased. Mr. Vanderbiltstated that he madethe fight for the purpose of getting a representation in the Board. This actlon of Mr, Yanderbilt was undoubtedly caused by the fact’ that Jay Gould, in onler to beat Vanderbilt, had pre- ylous'y decided to give up the proxics he held flo Miares) to Mr. Taylor. Sidney Dillon ind proxies on 11,000 shares, which will proba- bly also be turned over to Mr. Taylor. Hut if ali these gentiemen had acted In concert they could not have beaten the present Dircetory, ns Mr. Taylor hnd proxies for 50,000 shares, and this was prohably the principal vause that the fleht has been given up.

Still there are somce who 1nalst that Mr. Harris will bo the man. As far as the pres- ent Directory I8 concerned, there will undoubied- Iy be two or threc changes. Mr. Joy says 10 conceeslons have been made to the Can- nda Bouthern or to. Mr. Vanderbilt. Mr. Muir, the General Mausger of the latter rosd, Insists, however, that concessiuns have been made, and that the new Dircctors will be favor- ohle tothe Canada Bouthern and New York Central, the Canada Southern agrecing in re- turn to work in harmony with the Michigan Central, and not.to bulid Ita Hneto Chlcago within tive years. ~ QUINCY, MISSOURI & PACIFIC.
