A jo!{:t meeting of the Republican City Cen- tral Coimittee and the West Town Committee was held vesterday afternoon in the club-rooms of the Grand Pacific Hotel. There were pres- ent Messrs. Abner Taylor, J. Q. Grant, John 0. Clough, D. Harry Hammer, Louis Hutt, Chris Mamer, D. W. Clark, Jr,, 8 G. Seaton, J. C. Haives, H. L. Herts, Conrad Felz, Valen- tine Rub, P. A. Sundelius, H. H, Thomas, of the City Central Committee, and Messts, J. Vanderpool, W. S. Dunbam. R. V. Kennedy, A. C. Arentz, Tu M. Boud, R. D. Hildreth, of the West Town Committce. The meeting was valled to order by the Chair- man, Mr. J. H. Clough, who stated that the object of coming tozether was to determine where the city and town elections should be held, to appoint judges, and to confer with the Town Committees as to the time of holding Town Conventions. Col. Abner Taylor, of the First Ward, stated that there was no Town Committee on the South Side. Gen. Thomas, of the Eirhteenth Ward, the same statement regarding the N G Mr. R. D. Hildretn, of thg West Town Com- mittec, stated that no action had been taken by that Commiitee in rezard to primaries. The Chairman_ thought an cxpression of opinion from the West ‘Town Committee as to the time of hoiding primaries would be in order. Mr. D. Harrv Hammer, Fourth Ward, thought it woutd be prover for the City Central mittee to arrange for town and cily primarics for the Sout Side on the sume day, inasmuy, n?d:hcre was no Town Commiitce on the South Side. Mr. Chris Mamer, Seventh Ward, moved to hold the town and city primarics at the same place, on the same day, at the sawme hour, with only one set of judzes. Conrad Fo:z, Fifteenth Ward, objected to this, fnasmuch as 1t would open the door to people who were not Repubiicans. Mr. Clark moved, as an ameundment, for the purpese of getting the sense of tne Committee, that each ward bold a primary for the selection of a candidate for Alderman. Gen. Thomas was opposed to holding prima- ries for Aldermen. Tue nominations for that oflice should be leit to the clubs. Mr. J. C. Haines, Thirteentn Ward, remarked that there were two clubs in some wards, and toe holding of vrimarics would give rise to jealousics ~and bickerinzs, and a Democrat ‘might elide in, as bad_happened before. Mr. Clark remarset toat there were objec- tions to tue holding of primaries tor Aldermen. Unicss great cnut:on was exercised, wen might be run in who would not be aceeptable to the people. He thouzit the vomivations ought to be Joft with thie clubs. Mr. Clark’s amendment, was lost, The question recurring on the motion of Mr. Mamer, Gen. Thowas said he did not think the City Central Committee had anything to do with the matter. Hildreth said the Town Committee of the i soon. defure 1t best for the City Central Committee to decide unon HOLDING JOINT PRIMARIES. Mamer witncrew his motion to move that 1 tor a Town Convention of the West Division, and the manner of electing delezates to the same, ve referred to tue West Town Committee. Mr. Clonzh called Col. Taytor to the chalr, andremarked thut it had long ago beee decided by the purty thav the primary systemn ouznt not to be abandoned. The cluts mignt bring out candidates, bur he could not see what objections there could be to gong to the polls and baving such nominations ratitied by the voters. There were objections o the primary, to be sure, out nothing better, in his ooiniun, had been sug- gested. Mr. Clark adverted to the fact that only one Ilderman was to be elected from each ward, and said 1t would not do to run the risk of wetting a ‘bad man in, whitch might be the result of hold- ing primaries, at which Democrats could come up and vote as Repubiicans. Mr. J. Q. Graut, ti.e volored delegate from the Second Ward, spoke in tue same straim. Gen._Thomas thought every ward had its club. In his opiniun the primary system had onl ageravated the difliculties erowing out of factions. Whatever action the Committee took, he had no idea that his club would hold a primary, snch was tneir confidence in the sys- tem of club nominations. At this point Mr. Mamer’s motion was carried, and the West Town Comuniteee retired to de- liberate. Mr. Clark moved, with the intention of set- tling the question. to refer the whole matier of nominating Aldermen back to the various ward organizations to take such action as they shonld deem prope: Several objected that there were two clubs in some wards, but the motion was fiually carred. Gen. Thowas moved that the nuestion of se~ Iecting deleates to the Towa Conventions tor the North and Sout Sides pe reierred to the Reoublican organizations of the several wards. . Carried. Col.

Mr. Folz moved, as an amendment; to make the hour 2 p. m. The amencment was aceepted, and the motion, as amended, put and carred. Mr. Folz and Cul. Taylor were requested to seleet places for holding the Conventions in their respective towns, and to call the same to order. _They od the houor. Mr. Hildreth reported that the majority of his Committee was in favor of holding pri- maries. All the members of the Committee were not present, but a meeting would be held ina few days ana the question settled. On motion, the Committtee then adjourned 1o meet azain subject to the call of its Chair- man. THE DEMOCRATS.

Mr. Loewenthal moved that 8 commitice be appointed to inquire into the propriety of the Leazue nominating Aldermen instead of the City Convention. Mr. Tuler stated that, though there wasan apparent_apathy on the part of the peoole in the coming Aldermanic contests in the wards, there was a movement on foot to foisl unvrin- cipled men upon the community, and to malke a worse ring in the Coundil than bas ever before existed.

Merritt actinz as Secretars. Mr. MeNally moved that tke resolutions adopted at last meeting be taken up, and that 2),u0 copies be privted for reneral circulation. State Superintendent ot Education, Mz. S. M. Etter, beinz present, stated his views on the silver question. He held that it was necessary for the Demecratie party Lo be radical on money question, if it wanted to save itsell. He confessed to having been an origrinal Greenba er, and was in favor of withdrawing the Nation- Bauk notes and replacing themn with green- acke. He wanted the Democratic party to come out square on the money and lubor questions, if they wanted to succeed, sud_then there would be o necessity for, nor would there be, a third was in favor of carly conventions, the other parties benefic by the Democrati , if they made any. He believed in being on the offensive fnstead of on the defensive. Some other discassion was had, in which J. R. Daolittle, Jr., John Forsythe, and others took part. MeNally’s resolution was passed. On motion of Mr. Doolittle, the Secretary was directed to send copies to all the Demoeratic papers aud promiuent Demacrats throughout the State. Senator Robinson then went on to state his views on the political issues, and saw immense Drospect for suce le compared the Demo- tic party to Ajax, and wanted it to defy o eversihing that looked like lightuing or monop- ofy.” He next rehashed the views he anounciat- ed before the State Committee at the Palmer House on the 22d of February. He saw viciory 1o tie air for next fall. William McNally called up the auestion of acting in the coming local clection. He moved that the primaries be held Wednesday, March 13, for the purpose of electing precinct oflicers, ©te., having no connection whatever with the municipal election coming off in April. The mozion prevailed. Afier transazting some other unimportant business, the Conimictee adjourned for one week. THHE CANDIDATES. ALL XTOUS TO SCRVE THE DIAR PEOPLE.

He was the standard- },‘-fim of that party for County Treasurer last all. In the Seventh and Seventeenth Wards no less thau forts candidates have had tickets printed” bearing taeir names, and announcing 1. Gurderson, toeir candidacy. Inwards like these it is cus- tomary for all the keepers of grog-shops to ‘apnounce themselves,” so that they can be bought off. Itis rumored that Ald. Sweency has® retired from the field in the Scventeenth Ward in favor of John McCaflrey.

KING WAS ASKED several questions by certain of the members who either were not favurable to the scheme, or were seeking more light. He went on to explain the law on the subject, taking the ground that its provisions made the movement perfectly feasible. That the consolidation ot the threée towns would reduce expenses by cut- ting off a lot of ofliceholders, could not fora moiment be doubted. ‘I'ne only possible o tion that he saw was that the consolidation might atfeer the park organizations, but he did not douot that tavorable netion by the Legisla- ture would remeds any pessible objection in that regard. Mr. John Wentworth said he was for the hange,—tor anything that_cat down fecs and saiaries, The pauic had affected everybody but the ofliccholders, who ot their payas usual ana stood around cursing the tax-fizliters.

While he favored the movement, he doubted whether the City Council and the County Board would take Toll of the matter—nob us they were at present constituted. Mr. Felton thought the members ou: have time to consider e resoiutions, and moved to lay over until the nexe meetinz. The motion prevailed. On motion of ex-Ald. Dixon it was decided to hold the next mect:ng uext Saturday evening. SPRING ELECTION. Ex-Ald. Dixon moved to take up the Alder- ‘munic question, but the motion was lost, and a motion to postpone consideration of the matter for one weck prevailed. Maj. Roberts moved that it be the sense of the meeting that the primary system be adhered to in clecting delegates to the Towa Conven- tion. Mr. Wentworth opposed the primary system, aud denounced it on accoant of the opporiunity it gave bad men to ruu in their cabdidaies. 3ir. D. .

Ald, Szcwa:’ expiained, saying that the amendment heoffered to temporanly suspend the High Schpols and devote the money to the common branches, was a * feeler.” He dide’t ~wish to do the schools avy injury. Thousands of children wanted ac- commodations, and he was in favor of small buildings to cost from §6,000 to $12,000. The four-story structires cost so much that they could not be erected fast enouwh to keep pace with the growth of the school pooulation. Allud- ing to the annual appropriation bill, he safd it had been cut down to §3,675,000, and would be &till further reduced $150,000. Enough votes were now_pledzed to wipe out the §75,000 for sewers. The amounts for the different depart- ments would be appropriated in bulk, and the Mayor was pledzed to keep inside of what was levied. This would necessitate the dis- charze of some _employes, in order to “avoid a deficien Referring to ward matters, he hoped the ditliculties that had agitated the Republicans would be settled.

A lively discussion followed, some favoring and others opposing a club nomination, the Int- ter urging that it was not vizht for 403 or 500 to dictate to 2,500 voters. There was some talk about amending the constitution so as to drop the 31 initiation fee, since tnay barred many from joining, and ap amendment was subinit- ted, out it was raled out of order, us the meet- ing was vot a regular ove. _Tllxc Club then adjoured until Thursday night.

Brockway as being onc fally 1n the interest of the peopie, ana particularly of the taxpavers. and &hould rezret any action of the County Board look- Taz towards Jeasinz the county abstract books to any private party. Mr. Gill spoke in favor of the resolution. He compared the present state of affairs in the Ttecorder’s office with that of former vears and i t administration. He stated way had made an income of §25,0003 year for the county. He cxposed a scheme of coliusion between “certain members oitne County Board and one Otto Peltzer, by which the latter was to obtaie a leasc of the abstract books, and to occupy county rooms, at the county’s expense, and that the” whole was a plan to defraud the county. The resolution was carried without a dis- senting vote. 1t was resolved that all names proposed for membership should lie over for one week. 1t having been stated by & member of the Central Committec that the nomination of Alderman was referred to the Ward Club by the Committee, Mr. Roach morved that it be the sensc of the Club that it hold a primary for the *| nominatioh of Alderman. great deal of talix was indulged in, after which the roll was called, and the motion was carried by a vote of 5910 24.

A few days ago a Springfield, 1il., dispatch announced that articles of incorporation had been filed and recorded for @ new railroad, to be known as the 1llinois Extension Railway. The names of the incorporators are William Youns, of Valparaiso, ind.: Leonard Pearson, Benjamin B. Witey, Fayette L. Simmons, and David L. Tlough, of Chicaro. Tic incorporators state that the new road is to extend from the City of Chicazo, throuah the Townsof Lake and Thornton, to a pofot near the State line between lbinols and ludiana and in said Town of Thornton, there connccting with the Indiana Extension, which runs to Yalparaiso, a distance of abous thirty-six miles. ‘The capital stock is put down at $1,030,000. This capital stock is divided into 10,800 shares of 3100 each. _The Directors of this Company are William Young, Leonard Pearson, 4 Witey, F. L. Simons, D. L. Hough, and E.§. Alexander. As there are already two roads leading from this city through that section in Illinois through which the proposed iine is to run, it puzzles a great many people to koow what the real obiects of the Company are, and a Trinose reporter set about investizating the mysterious affair. Evers rauroad ofliciul ‘in the city ap- proached in ferard to this matter claimed to be enterely iznoraut of the objects of the incorpo- rators of the mnew line. and could nmot see what purpose such road could sarve, or how it could prove a profit- able " fovestnent. Mr. E. S.

I now seems to be the mteotiop of the incorporators of the Illinois Exteusion lh’iiway to build the link between Thornton and Valpa- rai in order tosell it in the same way the Chicazo & Northeastern Raflway—the hink be- tween the two sections of the Chicaxo & Lake Huron from Flint to Lansing—was sold to Vanderbilt.

PHILLIPS & COLBY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. P Tuz TRIBUNE yesterday stated that the cred- itors’ bill filed some time ago for $§107,000 against The Phillips & Colby Construction Company by Mark T. Seymour & Co. bad been sevtled. This action deserves some special men- tion, eince it fs one of the most important railroad suits that has been in litigation for some time, and the record runms over a period covering nearly five years. The amount really paid over was SI33,000 in cash and $15,000 in first mortgage bouds of the Wis- consin Central Railroad. 'The plaintiffs in the suit were Mark T. Seymour, E.S. Alexander, tud Joseph H. Rutter. The original claim was for $107,00, and an unliquidated account of $11.050, which was_not brought in the action that was settted. The suit was originally com- menced in July, 1573, and a judgment obtained against the Phillips & Colby Constructfon Com- pauy for work and labor performed in the con- structlon of _the Wisconsil eatral Railroad Compaay. 1t is alleged that there was_no real deuial made that the money was not_due the plaiutiffs, but the_defense appealed to the Unated States Supreme Court, which aflirmed & judgment for $107,000, aud reversed about $10,000. Matters remained in statu quo for a brief period, when suit was brousht atrain by the plaintiffs azainst the Con- struction Company in the Eastern Distriet of Wisconsin upon the transcription of judement, and Dec. 19,1577, a judement was’ recovered for $135,000, covering principal and interest from 1873; at that time, also, suit was brousht for $11,000, witich never camné to trial. An exe- cution was issued on the judgment, but it was returned unsutistied. The next thing done was to nle a creditors’ bill against the Coustruc- tion Company, making the Wisconsiu Central Railroad Company also a defenaant, and a motion made tiat a Receiver be uppointed for the Construction Company with power to operate, control, and manare the rairoad, which was largely the prooerty of the former, being a sort of o wheel withina wheel. There was g zood deal of hurrying ana_ seurrying be- tween Chicazo and Milwaukee, the defense be- ing vcrf’ anxious that no Receiver should be ap- pointed, and made some proffers for a settle- inent, which were not acceptable to plaintils. In the cariy part of January last the Guted States Court appointed T. 'S. Fauntleroy Re- ceiver for.the Construction Company, with an order that the Railrozd Compauy stiould have power, uniil the further order of the Court, to operate its road, but required it to make a monthly report to the Court of its earn- ings and cxpenditures. Finding themsclves thus baffled. the defendants commenced anew their negotiations tor a serrlement. Last Monday was fixed as the time when the money was to be paid over, but there was another hiteh, plaintiffs demanding their full claim and costs. There was another short delay after that, buc on the 2sth of February there was paud into the bands of Mr. Ed Walker 3135,000 1 eash and $15,00) in bonds, as above stated, in settlement in full for princivat, interest, aud costs. from 1§73 Mr. E. 8. Alexander, of this city, is the gentleman wno prosceuted the suit, d'the attorneys for plaintiffs were Messrs. E. Walker and Sleeper & Whiton; for the defense, Edwin H. Abbott and L. 8. Dixon, of Milwau- kee, and Dent & Black, of this city. CAIRO & S LOUIs. To the Editor of The Tridune.
