There were present Judge Caton, Chairman; Melville W. Faller, Secretary; Judge Drummond, the Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Potter Palmer, Col. Plumb, of Streator, and B. F. Friedles, of Plano. The cpecial business of the meeting” was the opening and discussion of propusals for the construction of the Douglas Monument. There were twenty bids for the whole and part of the work. Those under the first specification were for the. architectural work, such a8 the main shaft, etc. The Hurricane Granite Com- any was the highest bidder, at $20,395, er & Compson the lowest, at So, on kind of granite not being spevified.

THE COUNTY BUILDING. ‘The case of Pike is set for trial Tuesday. Saturday will be sentence-day in the Criminal Court. The jail yesterday contained over 400 pris- oners. About fifty of the number were in for riot, four of whom were wounded. The Grand Jury returned a true bill yester- day against Joseph Garrity, for burglary. It walt remain in session the coming: week. Gen. Lieb’s veteran mub-subduers bad their arms stacked in tbe jail-yard yesterday, and were ready for any emergency. The report that they had attacked the County Board during the day is without foundation. W. H. Piper was on trial yesterday in the Criminal Court for rape. ‘The’ prosecuting wit- ness was Elizabeth Brown, and the history of tbe case is familiar. The partner of Piper in the affair, who w: as the least guilty, is now serving a-ive years’ seatence in the Peni- tentiary, which makes the outlook for the de- fondant rather gloomy. Now that mob-rule is comparatively at an end in the city, the Commissioners—the working- men’s friends—are coming from their holes. McCaffrey bus not yet appeared, but there is yery little apprehension that he bas been killed in any of the numerous battles in defending the rights of the workingmen. What little there was was removed yesterday by visit tu the Morgue. WALRER’S EXTRAS. While everybody cise was preparing to quell the mobs to whom moet of the members of the Couuty Beard owe their electiva, these digui- taries touk advantage of the absence of the re- porters from the County Building to do what they could toward helping Walker forward in his aim for extras on the Court-House work. Wednesday the architec: laid before them the following document on the subject: ‘Lam in receipt of the communication addressed to your honorable body by Wiiliain McNeil a Sun, wiih reference to their demand for an increase compensution on account of the use of thick stone. ‘As the statements made in that communication. with reference to my rejeetion of stones provided for in the contract a;e kndwn to your Superintend- ent on the ground, as weil es to myself, to be not m accordance with the focts, I shail pass over all such misrepresentations us unworthy of further Coument, and uddress invaelf to the main ques- tion, namely the increased value of thick stone, ag used by Messrs.

I wish to state that J have taken the prices named in the proposx] of Mr. Walker, the owner of these quarries, made to the county fur materials in the rough for this building, a3 my guide in estimating such values. This proposal specitice 70 cents per foot as the price of all stones of from forty to sixty cnbic feet contents, ‘The contract price of Messrs. MeNiel being 30 cents per cubic fout, therefore allow the ditter- ence, or 40 cents per cuoic fovt, as the value of thick over thin material as per item No, +. In item No. 3, involving the use of stones over three feet in thickness, I find that the propo-al of Mr. Walker names $2.10 per cudic foot as the price of all stones over 100 feet m cubic contents, and the contract price of these stones be.nz G0 cents per four, accordiny to the alteruatice design, Itherefore allow the diiference, or $1.50 per fout, as per item No, ‘The items of setting and handling the different kinds of materials are the same, as there would be eighteen inore courses to handle and set by using the thin stone. As against the fact that the thick stone is, of course, more expensize to act, stone for stone, I therefore inuke no showing of tacse iteus, only calling attention to the fact, and placing one item of setting off ays net the other. Tn conclasion, perait me to state that, In conse- quence of the larze amount clanaed by the con- tractors on this score o: thick stune, I have siren this whore sabject attentive consideration, and have consequently delayed my. final report some- what longer than I should have done if no seriuua issue Were invoived, and { believe that, in the above statement a fail ineasure of justice le riven tothe contractur. 1 therefore now reauest that £ may be released from fartner consideration of this supject. Kespectfully, J.J. Euas. The document has created quite a fiutter among -the Commissioners, who waut to give Walker about $100,000 for obvious reasons. It has aroused Walker, tov, and there is war at hand. ‘The final result, itis thought, will be the appointment of an Arbitration Committee, and unless the courts interfere Walker will gc. all he ciaims, notwithstanding that his contra.t makes Egun sole arbitrator tn all such matte The Comptroller yesterday redeemed popular loan: certificates amounting to $4,700.

THE CHARTER OAK. The Company Reorganized on a Solid Basis. Ex-Gov. Marshall Jewell Elected President. What the Chicago Investigating Com- mittee Discovered. Stupendous Idiocy and Incompetency, if Not Stealing. BY TELEGRAPH. Special Dispatch to The Tribune, Darrrory, Conn., July 28.—A complete re- organization of the Charter Oak Life-Insurance Company was consummated to-day, according to an arrangement that lad been agreed upon between Commissioner Stedman, the Company's officers, aud the Investigating Committee, rep- resenting the local insurance companies and policyholders. The result is that the old man- agement is completely wiped out. The initial step this afternoon was the resignation in a body of Wigain, President; Furber, Vice-Presi- dent; White, second Vice-President; Nelson Hollister and Daniel Phillips, of Bartford. Thereupon the new Board was immediately organized, cousisting of ex-Gov. Jewell, Sen- ator Eaton, Judge Elisha Johnson, Col. George P. Bissell, and Robert E. Day, the latter the Receiver of the Putnam Fire-Insurance: Com- pany of this city, which succumbed to the great losses at Chicago. All are gentlemen of high standing and competent to solve the dificult financial problem beiore them.- Goy. Jewell was chosen President. The remaining offices will be filled next week, and on Monday Judge Pardee will dissolve the temporary injunction, leaving the new managers a clean field to go on with tneir work of getting the Company on ita feet again. Jewell will be absolute manager of the institution, as he has purchased flve-eighths of the stock from Furber at u price reported to be very low. Furber relinquishes all claims, present and future, to the earings of the Com- pany, and, while recovering largely on the assets ‘ucnisued by hitn, loses ow his stock and other- wise tua figure said to approximate $100,000. Jewell says to-night that he don’t propose to lose anytuihe on his investment, but expects to make money by the appreciation of the value of his stock as the Company's alfairs improve. ‘The Special Investigating Committee made a Jengthy report to-day on the condition of the Company. Of the $12,499,980 of assets report- ed July 14, they find $9,263,099 good, and 303,473 of doubtiul value, while the linbilii are placed at $18,302,597, of which $12,750,301 is the net premiuim reserve at 4 ver cent. The Broadway, New York, property is reduced from $3,030,000 to $1,035,000; the Crosby-street pruperty from $30,000 to $335,500; the Com- pany’s bufiding from $344,000 to $300,000, Western property taken under foreclosure is cut down 40 per cent, aud other propert: held by the Company in the West 1 per cent. The Allen, Stephens & Co. mortgage is rated as good for $0,000, with $500,000 doubtful. The Committee decline to express an opinion as to the results of the titi- gation. The liabilities exceed the good assets by $4,096,477, or $733,000 over the amount of items classed as doubtful. This gives a tech- nical deticiency upon a4 per cent reserve, and the Committee thinks recuperation possible, there being a minimum recuperative power of nearly $30,009 per annum exclusive of possible reeipts from doubtful assets. In conclusion, the Committee say: We have considered many items of assets with reference to their outcome under a management interest- ed and zealous for the Company’s continuance, and not with reference to their value w-the hands of a Receiver or a preseut sale. in view of the results from the figures herein given, and of the fact that the Company's risks appear to be located in a healthy portion of the country, we believe that under a management of the highest. efficiency, which shall make the most of its present assets and reduce ex;enses to the lowest possible point, and that shall possess the fullest confidence of its policy-holders, the Com- pauy can be made to pay its legal liabilities in tull, and its impairment be made good.” cd BY MAIL, Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. Hanvrorp, Conn., July 25.—The readers of Tne Trisoxe know that tha Chicago policy- holders of the Chicago Life Insurance Company sent a Committce to this city to inquire into its condition, and to do for them whatever in their judement would best promote their interests. Since reaching here on Monday noon they have conversed freely with a member of the State Committee, appointed by the last Legislature to examine into its affairs; with Mr. Insurance Commissioner Steadman; with Judge Van H. Higgs, of our city, who represents Mr. H. J. Furber; with Judge Wigsin, President of the Charte: Oak; with members of the Com- mittee’-of the Insurance Companies who | have been selected to examine its securities, and with many prominent citizens of Hartford. From facts gathered from all these sources, the following seems to be the truth in regard to its PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT: So far as known, the “‘crookedness” of Mr. Walkley, the former President, commenced with the building of the Connecticut Valley Railroad a tew years ago, of which he was also President. He advanced the money (mainly from the funds of the Charter Oak) for a m ion of the first mortgaye honds of the Com- pany; but these were subsequently sold at par, aud the money was replaced. The road needed a mach larger sum to complete it, and it is scarcely credible that he should simply have drawn his checks on the Charter Oak for about a million and nquarter of dollars, and they were counted tor along time as cash, and for this large sum there was tiot a particle of security except the per- sonal responsibil.ty of Mr. Walkley, and he was virtually bankrupt. To meet this dilemma sez- oud-mortzage bonds were issued by Mr. Walk- Jey and his toals, he as President of the railway, and accepted by him as President of the Charter Oak Life Insurance Company for his checks, which had been packed away in its vaults. ‘Yhese bonds have never hal anythlng but a nominal or mere speculative value, If this is not swindling—in fact. stealing—what is it? These are the bonds that have figured so prom- inently in the famous real estate transaction of Mr, Wiggin and Mr. Furber with Mr. Matthews of New York. : BUT THIS IS NOT ALL. ‘The Company, under the direction of the Presi- dent or or the Vice-President, Mr. S. H. White, luaned over $409,009 on coal Jands in West Vir- ginia, for which they had no security whatever, and on which for several years no interest was paid. They loaned over $200,000 on sume fac- tories in Connecticut, owned and run by Mr. Walkley, and they made several other invest- ments ¢qually reckless, and generally misman- aged {ts affairs most villainously. And now comes Mr. White ana deposits large sums with Allen, Stepheus & Co.,—and hence stands out in bold reliet the “¢ blanket mortgage ” of B.-F. Allen on lowa and other property. Now it may be asked, while Mr. Walkley and Mr. Waite were using hundreds of thousands and evn millions of money at their own sweet will, what were the Directors of the Company doing! ‘They were carefully drawing the $ percent on their stock and dividing pro rata large commis- sions on all the business done in the home office. By THIS VILLAINOUS DEVICE All the: officers were really swindling the policy- holders of the Charter Oak mght ana lett, and 80 eno:mous were these stealings that cach was satisticd with his share of the swag, and was careful not to peach on his fellow-thieves. It aimost surpasses belief, but no records were kept of mectings of the Directors aiter 1368, and no regular cash-book was kept for several years, Certainly no books or records can be found, for the’ rascals have doubtless burned them to de- stroy ail evidence of their villainy. When Judge Wiegii and Mr. Furber undertook to bring order out of this inexplicable confusion, they were obliged to take an invoice of stock and se- curities and commence a new set of books, as one would ina country store. In this way they Tound a deticit of a cool million in premium- notes, as previously reported. With so much incompetence and villainy, it is imarvelous that anything was left in the shape of assets to save the Company from ; . HOPELESS BANKRUPTCY. The fact shows how very profitable the busi- ness of; a large life-insurance companyis, And, besides, whatever may have been the ulterior objects of Judge Wiggin and Mr. Farber, it is agreed on all hands that they have managed the affairs ‘of the Company with great etticlency and success. They have -traded the secund- martes bonds of the Connecticut Valley Rail- way for New York real estate, which paid last year 6 per cent, and now pays 534 per cent on the entire investment. They have secured the West Virginia venture; put the furnace in operation, and it now is said to pay $140 per day net prolit, Must of the other dubious loans have been put in the best possi- ble shape. They claim that the assets of the Company have ‘actually improved under their Management to the full amount of $1,500,000, aud Mr. State Commissioncr Stearman’ admits that they have increased the actual value of its securities as property at Ieast $1,000,000, Then why have they becn so widely and bitterly de- nounced as ‘*wreckers” of life-insurance com- panies as Sam Tilden is of railways! ‘This comes from Mr. Furber's former reputation, which justly or unjustly attaches to him. He has acontract with the Company by which he ‘wus to receive enormous profits in the future; but on the start it was manifestly bis interest to put the alfairs of the Company in the best possible condition. But, bowing to the temper of the puplic mind, he is now willing TO “STEP DOWN AND OUT,” and through bis friend, Judge Wiggin, to trausfer his stock to those who are to be se- lected from the oest men in the Hartford to take the management of the Company, avcept- ing such settlement of his claims against. it as shall be deemed just and equitable. It is un- dersts at this writing that ex-Gov. Marshall dewelf is to be President, with a very able Board of Directors. He will-claim a round sal- ary himself, bat those of all other officers, em- ploves, and other expenses will be reduced to the lowest figures consistent with efliciency and successful management. These are some of the reasons why the nolicy- holders from several States passed the resol: tions which were doubtless published in ‘luz Trusuxe to-day. They strongly urged that policies be continued, for the very good reason that, under honest, capable management, the Company can in a year or two:be ‘placed on a sound, and Ina few years a paying, basis, The capital, though somewhat impaired, has not sunk below the figure on which it will be per- mitted to do business in this and other States. They will undoubtedly be able in such case to pay wll death losses and other just claims as they become duc. ‘TUE RASCALLY MANAGEMENT of Mr. Walkley, Mr. White, and the other old officers of te Company, should teach all those Whose lives are insured to watch carefully the movements aud the duings of those who have the sacred funds designed for thelr wives and children in charge. Put. out or enjoin at once all officers who are enguged in building railways or other doubtful enterprises. The Connecticut policy-holders of the Charter Oak have known, tor w long time that its oflicers were mismauag- ing its affairs, it not stealing its assets. They ought to have given warning long ago of the storm that has broken on them and on the whole country. The agitation herein New York and elsewhere will do zood. It has not come a. moment toosoon. The public will sternly de- mand that all exorbitant salaries be cut down; all reckless expenditures stopped; and that in- vestments be made only on the best and safest of securities. Olfcers of stock companies can- not successfully dodge behind their certiticates, and the managers of mutual companies can surely, with a little effort, be made to act hon- estly aud for.the best interests of their constitu- ents.

It might have been for selling at any time, but the one churze was all that was preierred. [he wary Peter took a change of venue to Justice Bradley, of Evanston, and was forthwith escorted thither. TheJustice fined himn $100 and costs. but Peter did not take kindly to the infli.tion, and was granted ten days to perfect an appeal to the Criminal Court. Another charge for keeping a whisky-diso-nsary upon on. Sunday was withdrawn because the witnesses, not having been tendered their fees, which the new Jaws require, were not. on hand.

Asingalar murder case awaiting trial in India has given rise to much legal discussion as to. whether the cireumetances justited the charge.

A similar case occur- ted in England afew years ago. A wizard at one of the theatres begged one of the audicnce asa favorto fires gun at him, The spectator, thus invited, loaded the gan witha charge of shot be had brought with him for the express purpose of testing cracially the alleged invalnerability of the wizard. The result was painful in the extreme, — the wizard’s face was peppered with shot, and the spectator who fired the gun was given into the custody of the potfce. Both narrowly escaped Seatiyerons by the gan and the other by the gal- THE NEWBERRY ESTATE Important Decision of Judge Williams on the Interpretation of the Will. He Holds that the Collateral Heirs Are Now Entitled to Their Share. Judge Williams yesterday rendered a de- elsion on the demurrer to the bill of Heory W. Newberry and others avainst E. W. Blatchford aud W. H. Bradley, trustees of the Newberry estate. Mr. Walter L. Newberry, it will be re- membered, died several years ago, directing, among other things, that in case his two daughters died without issuc, then immediately after his wife’s death, or if she did not survive his daughters, at tneir death, his Trustces were to divide his estate into two equal shares. One of these shares was to be divided among the lawful descendants of his brothers and sisters, and the other was to be devoted to founding a public library in the North Division. . His widow, after his death, renounced her share under the will, and chose to take her dower under the laws of this State. Both his daughters have died, and ashort time =go ‘his remaining heirs—the de- scendants of his ‘brothers and sisters—filed a Dill, asking to have the estate divided according to the terms of the will, and claiming that Mrs. Newberry having renounced under the will, her estate was fixed, aud that the remainder over to them was accelerated. In other wordés, that, by her taking her aower, and by thedeath of her daughters, they were entitled at the present time to the half of Mr. Newberry’s estate, and were not obliged to wait until Mrs. Newberry’s ecease. The Trustees were advised by their counsel that the estate could not be divided until Mrs. Newberry’s decease; and, in order to “have the question decided by a legal tribunal, they have conteSted it, though not desiring to willfully do anything to prevent the establishment of. the proposed public library. The complainants also claimed that the words “surviving de- scendants,” as used in the will, meant those surviving after the decease of the daughters, and that Mrs. Newberry having oy her own vol- untary act climinated from the will her testa- mentary estate, it was as to them the same as though her natural life had been extinguished, aud that the antecedent life estate being gone their estate was azcelerated.. Judge Williams, in deciding the case. said there was no rule more imperative than that tie intention of the testator, as it could be ascer- tained from the will, should govern. The old rule was that if the testator’s mtention was expressed it controled, if not apparent from the instrument, then his wish was sup- posed to be better effectuated by having sur- Vivorship referr.d to the tine of his own de- cease, Thuse cases which had apparently held this way only did so to better carry out the in- tentions of the testator in each case. Since the decision in the celebrated case of Cripps vs. Wolcott, vhich overruied the former authori- tiez, the rule was that in the absence of any- thine in the will dis:losing an intention on the testator’s part to reier survivorship to any par- ticular time, it must be presumed that the tes- tater roferred to the period of distribution, and that, in case there was a tenant for life, Was the death of such tenant. THE NEXT STEP, therefore, was to sce whether Mr. Newberry had shown any indications of limiting the survivor- ship in point of time. He first wished to pro- yide for his own immediate family; taat failing, for his collateral kindred, and lastly, in certain ways, for his fellow-citizens. The Newberry name and blood were dear to him, as was shown by his will, He also showed an attachment for us home,—Chicago. If, then, he showed an at- tachment for his home and kindred, and he had made devises tor their benefit, the natural in- ference would be that he desired to have such devis.g take effect at the carliest possible mo- ment, If he had hada contrary intention, it likely he would nave “exaressed it was in tbe will, As to the division of his estate = between. his, collateral kindred and the public Hbrary, Mr. Newoerry had said that in case his daughters died without issue **then immediately ufter-the death of my wife, if she survives my dauchters, but if nut then immediately atter the last surviving one of my sald daughters,” the Trustees were to di- vide the estate and “at once” distribute, ete, The other shave was to be upplied ‘tas soun as can consistently be done” toward tounding a public lib The use of tue words. “imn- mediately,’ “at once,” and “as suon as cam consistently be done” were all at varian..e¢ with the idea” that the testator desired that hs estate should -be leit to .accumu- late. Nowhere was it provided that the estate was to accumulate in the Trustees’ hands, and if the testator bad so wished be would have so satd. “And as soun as it bevame absolutery certain that no one of his immediate family or lineal descendants were to enjoy his fortune, ‘‘then immediately,” “at once,”? bis Trustees Were to distribute it. The use of the word “survive” showed the testator re- ferred co the death of bis daughters, not to that of his w.fe. That view supported the well-set- tled rule of law that estates were to be held to Vest ut the earliest possible period, unless there was a clear tntent to the contrary. If, then, bis daughters died without issue, his collateral kin- dred became vested’ with a moiety of his estate, and had a present capacity to take, if the possession had been vacaut. ‘The meager estate given his wife, and that only for hfe, showed, in connection ‘with otier provisious, 2 purpuse on the testator’s art to preserve his estate for his lineal or vol- Tateral descendants and for the public charity, iving his wiie as little as he could and for as Briet a period as possible. Buthad Mrs. New- berry taken under the will, no distribution would at present be nad; first, because the will was clear that three |.ves must terminate ocfore distribution, and, second, in the nature of tuings no division could be had so long as the widow's testament ate existed. But the law on accelerated remainders in the present instane came in in favor of the com- plainants, and vested them with an estate. The principle was that a mft to A for life, aud frum and alter the decease of A, to 8, C, D, or any- body else, meant from and after the determina- tion of the estate, aud whether the estate was determined py re’ “on or by death. or by the incapacity of the devisee to take, or by any oth- er circumstance, the life estate beg out of the way, the remainder took effect, having only been postpones, that the life estate might be givento. A. Mrs, Newberry’s life estate in the present instance having determined, it was very clear that the remainder over to the complain- ants was accclerated, and that they WERE ENTITLED TO TAKE, The Judge said he felt very clear on that sub- ie’, The law had been for 400 years that if the ife estate failed for any cause, the estate of the remainder was accelerated. The Judge quoted a long list of authorities in support of his yiew, and carefully and ably eriticised and distinguished them, “Any interest in the tenant. for life, which postponed the possession of the estate from such persons as, but for the life in- terest, would be entitled thereto, was a sufll- cient “intermediate estate” to support the dov- trine of acceleration. Mcs. Newberry’s reaun- ciation of her testamentary estate blotted it out as conpletcly as though 1t had never existed. In conclusion, the Judge said that the inter- pretation of the will was not free from diflicul- ty, but he thought it was evident, from an ex- amination of the whole will, the words *sur- yiving descendant” must be understood to mean those surviving at the time of the death of the hast daughter; that Mrs. Newberry’s testament- ary estate having ceased. the complainants’ estate vested, und they were entitled to one- half of Mr. Newberry’s estate at onve, and that the other half would go tothe formation of a free public library, as he had intended. The demurrer was therefore formally overruled. The Trustees will probably take an appeal to the Supreme Court. $$ A BROOKLYN SCANDAL, Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. New York, July 23.—Brooklyn has another scandal in high life. Action has been brought against a lady on the Heights for $1,000, due for the maintenance of an illegitimate child at the rate of $14 per month, from May 22, 1871, to May 12, 1877. According to the plaintiff's story the defendant elght years ago was a handsome girl of 17 years of age, the daughter of a rich Brooklyn citizen. §$he. fell from grace, and her illegitimate child was placed under thé care of the plaintiff, who at present resides in New York. For a time the. board-bill was regularly paid by the father of the child. but since May 12, 1871, plaintiff has not received a doliar, and to a few weeks ago was unable to find ont where the mother lived. By mere accident she tound ber to be the wife of a gentleman who holds a high Position | in the largest life insurance com- pany in i¢ country, who resides on the Heights. The defendant has made several attempts to compromise to suit, but the platnti demands the full sum due her, and up time no satisiactory arrangement. bas be tried in September.. George Theodore B. Gates is counsel for the defendant, who is a leading member of a very fashionable church on the Heights. WEST SIDE GAS COMPANY. To the Editor of The Tribune. New York, July 25.—1 beg the use of your columns to say a few words with respec: to the gas question which bas been under discussion the past twelve months. I will begin by frankly admitting that Tam now and have been for many years a sto-kholder to 2 small amount of the People’s Gas-Light and Coke Company of your city. As one interested I have naturally watched the discussions that have taken place, both in the City Council and in the newspapers, and I have now before me your paper of the 17th inst, in which appears a de- tailed report of the proceedings of the meeting of the City Council of the previous evening. I find that a resolution was passed by a vote of 24 to 9 to pay the People’s Gas Com- pany $1.50 for the gas consumed by the city since the 28d day of October last, leaving the price to be pafd in the future still unsettled. As a luoker-on at a distance from yuur city, and as one who has always believed in the great future and integrity of what is now the fourth, if not the third, city in population, and, as I re- gard it, the second in prominence and im- portance in the United States, 1am disap- pointed to find what appears to be a disposition on the part of the City Council te violate both law and good faith in their treatment of this fas question. In fact, it would look as if the: City Council intended to punish the Gas Com- pauy for furnisiung gas while the settlement of the question was in abeyauce, and the method by which the punishment is to be inflicted is by compelling the Company to accept $1.50 per ubic feet for all the gas consumed. by the city since the 231 day of October last. Now just here is where 1 think the City Coun- cf] will sce on reflection that they have made a great mistake. To protectthe Company against precisely such a contingency, the amended char- ter, approved Feb. 7, 1465, provides in Sec. 3 that the ‘Common Council of the City of Chi- cao shall in no case be authorized to compel the said Company to furnish gas at a less rate than $3 per 1.000 feet.” If the city did not in- tend to pay that price for zas it atl the chotce of going without or of substituting some otber illuminating agent; but if it saw fit to use the gas, then here is a law probibiting the city from compelling the Company who furnished it to accept anything under No one knew better than Mr. Billings that, under this provision of the charter of bis Com- pany, he could compel the city to pay $3 for all the gas consumed; but, evidently in a spirit of forbewrance, and with a disposition to lighten the burdens of the taxpay ‘ers 8o far as he could do so without ruining his Company, it seems he offered to accept $2 froin Oct. 23 last for all the gas already consumed by the city. What he will do now, I know not; but, if I were he. I would discontinue any further atte:npts to ne- fotiate white such a vindictive soirit is shown towards the Company by certain members of the City Council, I would simply stand on my ‘ights. e “ie is now about time that the interests of the stockholders were looked to, and their char- tered rights respected. If I were Mr. Billings, I would now simply decline to furnish ras at an arbitrary price, dictated too by those who are evidently ucting in ignorance of the cost of the article, and 1] would demand the price allowed by the charter for all the gas already consumed and not pafd for. If veste: rizhts are to be treated with con- tempt by the Council, and if good faith fs to be violated with impunity, then I for one want no more Chicago investments. If the peuple of Chicago are realy to repudiate the rights of the stockholders of the Gas Company to-day, they may be willing to reaudiate the rights of the holders of their own obligations to-morrow. The city hasso good a name now tat to tar- nish it bythe adoption of any such action as the C.ty Council contemplates would, in my judg- ment, be worse than criminal. A STOCKHOLDER.
