The regular inonthly meoting ot the Hepub- lean Qlub of the Fourteenth Ward were beld at Lochner's Hall last evoning, August Wendel in the chair, aud John Gibbs Secretary, The ut- tendunce was not large, but at the begluning of the meoting the reanectable, thinking, sud ct- ive members of the party of the ward was farge- 1y In the ascendancy. Later, however, the riff- rafll wero mustered, and, under the leadership of Commissioner Moyer's recont appointoes the County Agent'soflice, confusion was the rule, they having understooa that the Club might posalbly take some actlon reprimanding Meyer for his conduct in co-operating with the old riuaters fu the Boanl, Alter the transaction of some routine buai- ness, an individual fn the back pare ofuthe rooin arose Lo start the ball, and sald he had heard many stories in the Jast few days fn referencoto what had becn gotug on In the County Hoard,— stories which seficeted on Mr, Moyer,—and, see- ing bim present, he would like to hear from bim aud what be had to say for himself, Jln Malone, one of the Meyer's appolnteos in the Aveoi's ollles, uross to object, and was greeted with hisses loud and long, Ho man. azed to make himscl! heard, lowever, as b wpposed tu Meyer ln&uz uuytbing, but it was siuid the greatust nofse, a8 the seutiment of the Kathering wus sgatnst him. COMMISSIONEY MEYRR finally came forward, however, 1le sald there had been u great des! of tulk about his conduct, and that he had heard that the Club proposed to expel bio, snd then proceeded to what De Locw about, sud what bad been Biis experfence lu, the scveral caucuses between the city und the Stock-Yards in his efforts to “reforin ¥ the wamagewent of Cook County affaire. Ills story wus very dull and entirely devold of futereat until he undestook to tell Low be bad descried bls party for the sake of getting McGrath, Maloue, sud Eckhardt n tue County Agent's oitice, which was uot new, but served to stir up some fecling. lo concluslon, Bo aaid e did wot think be bad done suythin: wropy, and {f there was 8 disposition to expel him from the Club Le wanted to Lesr from w(u)wt u;‘.‘l‘himemwrl. 5 0 110 Tiacher was not avor of expellln; Mr. Meyer wm?uuc the fullest luvemz-uung. and thowslit the whole proceedings were out of ope, o ln’::, W, ¥i. it order. ns there was no motlon beforo the meeting. MR. o1ons, the Becretary, then took the floor to make & motion, fle deprecated Meyer's conduct In iulnlnz the Democrats and deserting his fiiends. 10 tind been elected in the Interest of rcrorml and cspacially to break up the * Ring” he had joined. His explanation of his vouduct would ot satis{y the Kepubllcans of the county,—the men ywho had elected him because they had been led to belfeve him an honeat man. “What liad he done? Tie had voted to elect MeLaugh- 1in at the Hospital, and other men not noted for atheir clean hauds in managing county affairs, which was enough, he thought, to justily his lieing reprimanded, e had” done enough for the ward, perhaps, but had scled in csucus as it there were only three men in it, and, to cserry his point, had gone back on 1is friends and his most solemn pledges to the entire party of the city snd county. e concluded by moving that Meyer be repudiated by the Club for acting ‘with the Democrats, aud for lending his vote to perpetuate or create a “* Ring." ‘The inotlon was heartily scconded by seversl, and numerous short apeeches denounclog Mey- er's courso were made, notwithstanding the al- tnost constant interruption of his henchman, AMr. Meyer agaln arose when qulet had heen restored, atd piteously told haw he had stood by Mr, Senne for Chalrman of the Itoard, and liow he hiad thus helped+to secure the appoint- ment of Republican commitfecs. Ie did not see that therc was any ** Ring" In the Board, nor could he understand how there could be. Mr. Wendle, the Chafrman, sa(d the {ssue last fall with the l(npuhllenns hnd been reform and the breaking of the * Ring." He had looked, as had the public, upon Mr. Fitzzerald as an honest man uptoa few weeks axo, but since Meyer linil been elected he had heard of a purse of s'm,ouu to perpetuate the old ** Ring,” and it had taken to members of the Board to do it He wanted Meyer to sav what had been dono with the money, sand {f he faffed to make a sstisfactory explanatiun he was In favor of the Club waahing i1s hands of him, {le hiad been disappointed in Meyer, and a0 hwi the Repunlicans, not onlf of the “ward, but of the county, and unless he was r:mn‘lnlcd by the men who hed recommended and tndorscd him, the Repubiicans of the ward vould never agaln go into a ltepublican conventlon and get any recogaition. Hisaction was not only aa imputation on his own character, but upon the Republicans who bad_put hiin forward and pusted bim through. During the campaign the spcaker sald Republicans from other wards had come to hin and asked If Meyer was straight, and he had asaured them that’he was, and now that affairs had taken the turn they had, he did not want to have to go arsund and apologize to thgn, The Club should take ome actlon at once, and set themselves stralght belore tho comimunity. Mr. Tisch wanted to defer action until the next meeting, and made a motion to that effect, A fellow named Hastlan arcse to dcfend Meyer, aud, {n so doing, procecded to attack Mr. Hesing, but, betng called to onler by Ald. Bsutngarten, he finally subsided so far as to get back to the defense of Meyer aod {n oppo- on to the motlon, amid cries of **8it down (" and **You are crazyl” MR, SMEYER AGATN CAMK TO TITE FRONT ani aked the Chalr where hio tiad heard tat he hadl been paid to join the Ring."” ‘The Chairman repited that he had scen Iotl- mations of moncy having been used In the pa- ers, had acen Meyer’s nanie In connection with lie clinege, and had never hicard tim deny it. Mr. Meyer responded that he had not gone to tiie lying press to defend himseif, but pre- ferred 10 vone before the Club, He denied that he had ever gotten uny mouey, and, furth- ermore, sald thut he never expected to get sny. He conld not be bought, not cyen for $560,000. Mike Gernhardt, another of Meyer's appointees in the County Agcnt’s office, about whom thero are some storica afloat reflecting on his moral rectitude in connection with a Twellth street difileulty, which wouid seem to unfit him for the pusition ot * Visitor," to which he has been appolnted by Meyer, wos the next speaker. Ho Jdofended Meyer, Eck- hardt, MeGrath, and himself. and abused cvery- body who did not faver them, and made 'a vlrn{cm thrade, which Malone applauded, Mr, ‘Thompaon wAs not In favor of ecnsuring Meyer just now any more than ho was In favor af censuring Prestdent Hayes, In his aglnlun, both gentlemen had broken faith with thelr party and disappolnted their best friends, yet e was in {avar of dealing lealently with then i1 the hope that they would ropent and como buck among thelr fricnds, | Alter sumeo lurther wild 'discussion a mation was made Lo tabis theresolution to defer action, ‘which was lost. % Ald. Baumuarten then took the floor to urge that the question bedisposed of atonce. Meyer hiad gone back on the party Lo sccure & pasition for two or three men, and “he thought he ought to Lo censured therefor, for, while clected an a Republican, he had voted sulidly with the Dem- ocrats. Malone, and Gernhardt, and a few othars mada thelr characteristic nofse for half an hour tmore, abising the Chalr, and by motlens and counter-motions trylng to tire out the roapecta- ble clewent aud deler actlon. They dnally suo- cecded by adjourning the meeting in the utmost disorder, but their victory promlacsto be but of short duratlom, Another mecting will bo heldthe first Wednes- day lu February, when the suie question will uguin most Likely be uppermost.

INGRAIAM, Died, at Hyde Park, 11l Jan. 2, Mrs. Frances 8, Ingranam, daughtcr of the late Hiram C, Foster, Esq., and wife of U, 8. Ingraham, Eaq., of Lhis city. Mrs, Ingraiam was born at Wilton, Saratoaa Caunty, N. Y., Jan, 31, 1825, She was the cldest of four sisters, of whom the remalning three are Mrs. James Gllclirist and the Misses Foster, of this city. On Lhe 14th of July, 1847, sho was married, and ten years later accompanied her hushand to Chicago, where Mr. Iogratiam soon became promincutly fdentified with the buesiness taterests of the city. Previous to hee marrisge o tumor had made Its apoearanco up- on ber face, but was successfully removed, and dhil not reappear for several yeara., Upon its ro- currenge the best medical ald was promptly summoned, and fur yeurs hier life was one long strugglo with the insidious, relenticas foe. A constant sufferer not only from the terrible dtscass itscif, but from the efforts made for its removal, she still malfitained her positfon in society with wonderful courage and ability, ‘The falthtul ally and counselor of her husband, she bore lier part bu the generous hospltality which has nlways choracterlzed thelr home with ruro Judgment and pood seuse. In herown fainily and among the large uircle of their aequalntauce she was known and admired for her devotlonand fidelity, and {n every relatfon ol lile she was more thau ¢qual to all just re- AQuirements. In 1804 she united with the Bec- ond Presbyterian Church, of whicn Dr. Putterson ‘was tho postor, and the re- latiun continued untll her death, In Februe ary, 1674, Mr. and Mrs, Ingraham austained a severe foss fn the death of thelr onlv ehild, Mr. 11, F.

From this time Mrs, Ingraham’s mind was caprelally turned towards” that future world to which'it was now evident that she was surcly hastening, The record of the Jast threo yesrs Is somethiog of which one may well heaitato to write, becausc the very plainest und shinplest utterance of the truth concerning it must seem to those who have not Leen famlliar with the sick-room an exazgeration. The stiending physiclans give it as thelr opintons that the records of medienl sclence efther in Europe or Amerva scarcely afford the parallel of her case for long-continued suffering, Yet ft Dbas been borne with such patience, auch fortitude, such unvarying swectness ang tender consolation for those who watched by her bedsiae, as no worda can fitly portray, For months it has scemed she could not hive from day today, yet she retained slmost to the last hour ber conacfousneas, and all the swect herole nttributes of hor mind. Her laat thoughta werg for others quite as much as for heraell, and though her sufferings moved strong men to Lears, shie could still romember to leave bahind hier words of wisdom and tenderness to those who so surcly needed consolation. Nelther would justice be douo If no mention were made of the tender and uwever-falling_devotion which hos watched by ber bedside, So to suffer, und 80 Lo ininlster, Tequires a herolsin of noble and yarer type than-much that has been celebrated i immortal verse.

Dr, Carr stated that Mr, Murray’s death resulted directly from the necident and the subscquent unnceessary exposure, and that, hud the driver and conductor acted humancly, thero was no doubt that his life could have been eaved, a3 the fnjury of fteaif was not nocessanily fatal, Tho deceased was a young man, 27 yeurs of age, winl well kinown fu the West Division, Jle was moat exemplary in his hablts, and, besides bils brother, he loavi aged anid beart-hroken mother and a sistor, Coroner Dietzsch has beew natificd, sad will hold an {nquest to-day and get at all the particulars tu the vaso as (ar as possl- ble, The funeral will take blace to-morrow afternoon at L o'clock frum the [fate reshlenve ol the deceased, and the remaine will be finally Interred ab Builal ¥ Mr, 8tophen Sivley, a lawyer, and for some ears past connected with the firm of Walker, Izon & Bwith, died suddenly last Monday, He was of s very retiriug dlspusition, and henes ;;mn parativety fittle Kuown among the pro- cssion.
