THE THADES-UNIONS. The United Trades-Unions held a teeting esterday aftornoon at Caledonia Hall, No. 167 {Vuhlnuton street. Therewera but few Unlons represented und not many persons present. Mr, James Rogers was called upon to preside and T, C. Brownell was made Secretary. Tho object of the mecting was understood to be the scicc- tlon of @ _dclegation to eeod to the State Convention of the Na- tional Farty (to bLe held at Spring- field, March 27) for the Eurpm of pressing tho adoution of a ‘“plank® decrying the cm- ployment of convlcy labor. Several of those present spoke In ceneral terms ahout convict labor, ‘and John McGilvray made an address of over an houtr in duration. When somebody finally moved to appoint a delegation, ono_of the Nattonals presont enld that unless the delegate was a Natlonal, rep- rescnting s Natlonalorganization, he could bave no voleo in the Convention. ‘Then, ns & kind of ** suap game ™ to get * the united trades-unjons of Chicago to announce themselves as Indorsers of tho Natlonal ideas, one of the wiro-pullers present moved that the fiftluml platform as bullt at Toledo be apted. After some little discussion, In which was mado apparent the fact that tho trades-unlons men saw tbat the Natlonals would Illke to haye thelr expressed sentiments indorsed by them, the motlon to adopt the platform was lald upon the table upon the ground that but few Unfons were reqrnacmcd, and that the mecting was one of a pol {tcal party. Upon wotion, Messrs. John McGilvray and Iichard Grifiith wero selected as delegates to thie Convention, they to conflne thelr work to lobbsiug for the measure shove named.

It will be remembered that some weeks ago the Chicazo Ball Club sccured from the City Counctl permission to oceupy s part of the Lake-Front for use as & bail-park. The Coun- cil’s action was in form of au order to the Mayor to gradt & license to the Club. The city ofticers have been, since the passage of the order, very busy about the Appropriation bl and other finunclal measures, and it wes not untii last week that they found time to prepare snd sign the lcense to the Club. Thero huve sll along been threats and ruwors of an Injunc- tion, which it was clalwed sowe party or par- ties unknown aud unidentified wero preparing toapply for. It was not exactly caay Lo trace these rumors to their source, but it scemed to the Club uuthioritics that, if tbere was to bo & tight, they would prefer to fight from the in- side, nd that they would very likely be bLutter It (o possession than Lo the courts 8gbting for that possesslon. Thus belleying, President Flulbert and Mr. ‘Thomas E. Courtney, the contructor, appeared upon the ground early yesterday morning with balf & dozen drays loaded with cedar posts and boards. There were also about s score of wen with shovels aud bawmiaers, and the whule force aet at work briskly to put thewselves inside s fence, It was not attempted to bulld anything very high, buv only s common farm feuve,~ e then resolved to try yet an- cutting piece of a broomstick and somo solder and car- short,” and he went nmlpimrued nothiing but what might be cailed & “lawful inclosure.” Posts wera set fourtcen fect apart and boards nailed lengthiwise on these, and, when the wholo ground was aarrounded, the force went over the work and put {n other posts half way be- tween thoso first sct. The work was proaccated with such activity that before noon the whola ground was surronnded and the ball club hely passession with a watchman In charze. The ground inclosed 1s that part which ex- tends from the south lino of Randolph street to the north linc of Washington strect, axtend. ed. It might be larger to good advantage, but Its convenicnce ol location makes up for any deflefency it might otherwise hiave, The dia- mond can he rlnml sothat o falr hit over the fence fin leit fleld will b impossible, but font balls will very likely pop over. The room for play back of thini base is, however, fully as great as on tho St, Louls grounds, The right- fleld fence wilt be rather close in, and a special ground-ruie for hits In that direction will have tobe made. [t sccns now us it the beat loca- tlon for home-plate would be ncar the south. west corner, but the plan has not yet been fully decided on. TIE COMMUNISTS. THRIR RATIPICATION MERTING.

Thayer was appolnted by President Qrant in February, 1875, and his commission has sbout cleven months to run. On the 11th fnst. President Hayes surprised tho Senate and people gewernlly by sending In the nameof dohn W. Moyt, furmerly of Madlson, Wis., os Governor of Wyoming. Back of all this there {s a history. Last spring the President nominated Judge Teck, of New York, as Judgoe of the District Court of tne Ter- ritory, Judes Peck took hold and ran the Court for sevaral months, but when the Benato met that body falled to take action on the nom- Juation, At the npcmnkg of the present session uni’relldent renominated Judge Peck and tho Benkte confirmed him. Meantimo Judge Pecic had succeeded in rene derfug himsolf unpopular not ouly with the Legislature, but with the people of the Territory. ~ He was too arlitocratic and high-toned In his notlona _to sult thy somewhat § frco-nnd-casy Northwest, and the Leyflalature cast about for some means ol getting rid of him, Way up In the far north there - district, composed of the Counties of Dense anid Crook, whers the Indlan roamns nnd the whits man is almost unknown, llnvln} o titioued the Prestdent and memorlalize Fhu Seuats without svall, and tinding that thoy must keep Judge Peck, Lue Legislature passed an act whereby ho was relegated to thess froutfer countice. This act Gov, Thayer vetoed, on the ground that the fnhabitants of the countles in question had not asked fur onranization, us pro- vided by law, The Legislature then passed a new law = takiug the power entirely out of the hands of the Governor and organizing the above counties intoadis- teicty 1o which they asslrmed Judigo Peclt, Bo ewphatic was (he manitestation this time, only ouu dissentiog vota being recorded, that Gov. Thayer dld not fecl it to bo his duty to fnter- pose, aud the bill became law, ‘The suppostion is that the President con- strucd this action us being an {nsnlt or robuke to himself personally. A repotter of ‘l'ux Trisuxs had an interview with Gov, Thayer auring his short stay (n tho city, and tnquired of hiin as totho facts. Gov. Thayer stated that nelther he mor the Wyoming Legis- lature intended any disrespect to the Prestdent who mada the uomina- ton, or the Benate which confirmed it ‘The peovle of the Territory objected to Judze Peck; the Legislature passed an act in pursu- anco of what thoy consldered thelr duty to thelr constituents, and Le, as Governor, could not stand In the way of such an omphatic declara- tion. 11 had taken no elde_whatever In the matter, and bad vetoed the Grst bill, But {t would ~ have beecn uscless to veto the second one, for the Legislature woa Eru-m:n"y unanimous, and any action which 0 izt havy taken could have beeu, and In all umbablmf would have been, overruled. The rules would have been suspenned, and in ten mioutes the bill would have been passcd over thn voto. Tho Uovernor declioes to go Into any con tion of the merits of the case, or o express any opluion in vegard to Judie Peck, He clalmed to bave dong bis duty and no moro in the premtses, aud bad no fll-feeng towards the Judire. Wit the result of tiov. Thayer's visle to Washingtou will be rewalns to bo secn. SUBURBAN, LARE. -/ ‘The regular meetini of the Board of Trustees was beld Saturdsy afteruocn, ell the members present.

The lnnn{em cannot understani why Mr, Condit and Mr. Muirhead, who bave heldl thelr ofiices for so many years, should not now retiio and give place to other men, espe- clally if the only perquisites of the offive are those allowed by law. There are rnbl(uplrllml men in the town who, like President Woodanl, wonld fill tha position without pay, or, like Mayor Ifeath, relinquish a portion of thelr pay tonn overtaxed tuwn. Bome of the taxpayers are In favor of changing the government of the tows to a village organization, which they claim conll be conducted more economically, The Trustocs belng pald for mectings only, and nothing allowed for committee work, the office is not sought for the pay It brings. A petition signed by thirty voters of the town calling for the subiniesion of the guestion of s sillage organization would compel the Board of Trus- tees to hold nn election aud submit the ques- tion to A vote. Belorethis fs dons a public mceting will probably be called, and the ndvo- cates of the change be ollowed to explain wherein the benefits would arise. An Incident bappoued Yin Justice Fleming's Court Inat week which shawa tho way justice is administered in some’ of the courls of the Town of Loke. A butcher by the name af Dickenson was summoned to nppear before the Justico at a cortaln hour. ‘Thosummons was served by leaving o copy at Dickenson's honse while ho'was out. This brought Dickenson Into court at the nrpolnled hotir as he aupposed, but the Justice had declded the caso a few min- utes before fn favor of tho plalnti. Dickenson attempted to expostulate with the Justice, of- fering no violence except In words, which 86 ex- asperated Fleming ~ that he stepped down from - his kcat and pummeled Dickenson unmercifully, ond, it s sald, kicking _and jumpiog upou him when down. Tho punishment was so severe that Fleming himself was incapacitated from nusing his hand for several days. Dickenson gathered himsell up and crept from the presence of the ;Yumcc, and has since been confined to his hotne.

And Shows How Chicago Shounld Im- prove Her Opportunities, Boston Preparing to Discontinue Her New York Branches. To the Editor of The Tribune. Naw Yorg, March 13.—Tha citizons of New Tork aro at last really alarmed in view of the marked decline in the business and prosperily of this hitherto Empire City, A large and carncst mecting was held here last week to con- stder the mattor, and to try to deviso means to arrest this downward tendency. Tho journals of New York are alivo to the imporiance of the subject, all admitting the stubborn fact, If the declina in business and {n the value of real estate In New York were only such ns I8 com- tnon to other citles in these hard times, It would Lo cause forno extraordinary approhension. But the decling §s far Leyond that of any other, heeause fte business has been diverted to othor voints. ‘The decline in valug of real estate In the best parts of tha city Is unprecedented. It Is stated In the public fournals that Messrs, Morton, Bliss & Co. are changing their place of business, for which they pald a rental of $25,000 o year, to another equally eligible at $4,000. ‘The facts concerning this decadence sro as follows: Tha firat great cause ia corruption and misrule In the City Government. This en- toils constantly Increasing debt and excessive taxatlon. New York is almost entirely under Irish rule and influence. 1rish people are a vale uable population nhd good citizens, and would Improve and prosper 1t properly governed and restrained; but Irish ride {a ruin, 1s there n 1nan In New York or Chicago, not an Irishman, who will gay that this {s not so? Then the whalesale trade of New York, under 4 chango In circemstances, hias largzoly departed toather eftios,—principally to Chicago. In ad- ditlon to the great wholesalo houses of Chicago, such firms as that of A, T, Stewart & Co. and others of Now York have deemed it necessary to establish In Chlesgo also, And ft s not probable that thelr prices on any article in thelr extensive atocks in Chicago are advauced be- yond that of thelr New York houses. A few years ago no merchant from &ho foterlor over thought of buying at any, placo than New York. Then every small dealer came hers to buy; whilo now only the wholessle merchants of the interlor cities purchase here, while at the same timo they purchaso largely nt Boaton, Philadelplifa, Baltimoro, and other points, and even lmporting direct. Manufactures have nover cxlated to any con- slderablo extent in New York. Extraordinary exponscs, or the fear of such, or othor cauvaes, have kept such ventures away, But the principal cause for uneasiness and alarm fn New York fs, that the forelgn come meree, eapocially theexport of our great staple, grain, has sought other outlets, and ia bolog di- verted to other citics. This because of excess- Ive charges attending transshipment hero; or, as it is summed up and reported by the Com- mitteo of the Chamber of Commerco, * Bad Clty Government, cnormous taxation, miserably paved and dirty strects, and Insufficient and ex- pensive terminal facilities, and rafirond discrim- instions.” Or, as Mr. W. II. Vanderbilt says over his own sipoaturo, * Within the past ten years Philadelphia and Balttmore (and he might have added Montreal and Portland) have mada rapld progress In competlng for the foreign and home trade, and that trade will continue to Incresse ot tho expenso of New York, becauso Now York merchants are subjccted to terminal charges of {rom 75 cents to $1 per ton, a bur- den from which thoso rivals are free.” And he adds, “Whilo steamnships at sival ports land at comparatively frec wharves, tho rental of adock m New York—owned by the city—is about equal to? percent per annum upon tha. flrst cost of o first-closs ocean steamer, and at the same time the raflroads arc probibited from reaching those docks.” ‘This lost prohibition’fs to give cartmen and others an opportunity to levy tribute upon tho passing property. Mr. Vanderbilt enumerates other burdens to which Neow York commerce Is subjected, all of which Is upon the principlo of extorting by the city authorities the last possible cent of tribmte from all who may place themsolves within their reach, Dut the present ** bad City Government " ‘llvfllueonunue. and New York will continus to ecline. ‘Therelorc, while the vast products of the Waost are sccking an outlet to the Old World with uneatisfactory results, the pcople of Chl- cago and the whols West shoald encnunfu and ald our Canadlan friends In completing s upecdily as posalble thelr capal improvements, whereby ocean-going steamers shall be .f’““l alongalde tho wharves of Chleago, This Is practicable. Ocean steamers can load in Chica- %0 and discharee tn Eunfl)e at 8 saving of time over shipping by rall to New York, bes{des nay- Inz tho txpenac and wasta of tranashipment. Alrcady many veasels have cleared from Chlca- o for European vorts, but the claes of vesscls capablu of passing through the Welland Canal are too small to bo profitable, The elevators of L‘!ncnqo haye been stored at times with an acen- mulation of over 18,000,000 bushelf of wheat, corn, and oats, notwlkhllnndlng constant ship- ments there(rom, This shows Chicago tobotho largzest receiver of praln the world bas ever secu. Of course much of this goes to the Eastern Btates for cousumption there. Thls will continue to zo by rail and lake and canal as at present, but let the Canadian Improvements be mmnlel"d as Frojeclod. and every bushel of cralo croaMog the” Atlaotic will go by ocean steamer or sall from Chicago direct by way ol Montreal, A dally Nne of stemwucrs betwoen Chicagzo and Europe, in addition to sail craft, could easily be maintained., < Buch an outlet for I!vnlu from Chleago would make it atill morc & desirable market, and would consequently draw to it the grufn of Central Ilinols and Bouthern Jowa, and other parts which is now largely diverted by being shipped to Kastern points dircct. - ‘Then thers is the product of the four millions of hogs annually slaughtered fn Chicago, and the beef and tallow, and the butter and cheese, and alcobol, and boue fertilizers, and other commodities fn constautly Increasing quantities sceking European iarkets, and for which no other routa could equal this, Ever cotton would undoubtedly be drawn into this channel, Bhips und steamers from Europe secking car- Rocs from Chicago would gladly bring heavy koxis—{ron, hardware, salt, suds-eab, sal-sols, bleaching-powders, crockery, and, in fact, all kinda of ;fwu-—u a4 lowrates as to New York, ‘This would place Clicazo far in advauce as a distributing polnt, besides atimulating inanufac tures throughout the West. Chicago, too, must cvoutually control the tes trade, as she now docs that of Califorma fruit; and us Baltimore 13 scquiring thot of coffee and sugar, and Boston the oot and shoe trade, all wiil be tothe loss of Now York. Cldcago and European stcamers must of courss be for frelghting purposes princlpally, but n::? may be fitted 11 & plain manner, some- thing after tho plan and styls of tha Ogdens- burg Lino of steamors, for ‘passengers. Those steamers aro carrying passengers from Chicago to Oudensburg fn & comtortable and plessans nanaer, with good board and full atteudauce, for §13, ‘That is pearly onc-fonrth the distance *to London. Why then should they not carry passeugers through to Ewrope for $501 And why stiould not that be a favonte route for travell From Chicago as far as the Graud Banks it would be unequaled for variety of scenery, for besuty and pleasantacss, by any route “of equal distance fu the world. " And then, w?. 1t would be uncqualed a8 & route for camigration. 1n tho winter the steamers could run to Port- land and New Orleans, as the Montveal stoamers are dolug at presont. And provisions which are of greater value, sud are needed for immediate consumption, can go forward by rall and meet the steamers ut the sea-board. ‘Thus Cbicsgo, being the central point and market of tho most productive country inthe world, aud belog paturally s perfectly healthy Jocation, with unlimited spaca for extenslon, haviug ao unbounded supply of pure water, and «with mcans or possibilitics—by loweriog still Jurther the bed of tue caval—for the most per- fect dranage, and baviog ibe suminer attrac- tions of the Lake Buperioz regions and Color- ado, and the winter resorts of the Hot Spriogs and the Sunoy Boutb, fo close pruximity, and with unbroken rall congection with the varly ocean-going ahips, there can be no reasun but that of bad government why Chtcaza should not become the largest, the wealthfost, and the most attractive city the world has ever heheld.

Doston Tierald, “ Yes," sald one of our leading merchants, in reply to s quostion, ** I have been talking about the propriety, and not only the propriety, but Lhe absolute necessity, of our cotnmisslon mer- chants for the eale of domestic fabrics dlscon- tinuing thelr branch honses in New York City. The tiine has passed when the conditions which gavo birth to these branch houscs are of suflicient importanca to eall for thelr continus ance,” 4 What s tho new order of things which has made a recall of thess branch houses feasibled” * Principally that Now York has ceased to be the great distributing centre for the domestle inanufactures of the country. 'There are otlier and incidental reasons which have equal force in the matter. Bomo tweaty-five or thirty years ago all the goods turncd out by our fac- torics in Lowell, Lawrence, Manchester, and other places were sold In Boston, and merchants from all parts of the country came hers to buy. Branch houscs wern first ‘establishcu fn New York by F, 8kinner & Co., who found there a larger fleld for the d'sposal of their paper, a great deal of which they made, and by J. K. Mills & Co.; and these were soon followed by others, who, fn order to meet this new competition, were forced to move ugnn of thelr buslncss to New York, wiiers the branchos soon grew to be larger than the parent inatitutions, It has becn eald that this first movement ivas made fn the interost of sccuring Bouthern trade, whivh was begioning to flght shy of Boston on account of the feellog of enmity which had grown up on account of tha abolition ngitation, of which it was tho centre, Bul this has been denied, and perhaps with justice. However, the movement was made, and the ro- sult was that millions of dollars’ worth of busi- nees tvas taken awoy from Boston whick conld sud should hiave been done just as well here as In New York."” **But now that the muschicf Is done, what would you do Lo repalr 1L *1 would, first of all, rocall all our branch houses from Now York, and make Boston the great centre of the woolen and cotton goods trades, as It 1s now of the shoe and leather in. dustries. 1 think this Is a duty ourlarge cormisslon flrms owe to themselves, as well as to the real-estato Interesta of the city, In which tho‘y are also largoly interested.”” *‘But do not these marchants also own real estate in Now Yorki” “Many of them do own their own stores and warchouses, but their principal Intercsts, their residonces, and their greatest risks, aro hero.

He haa his branch house fn New York, which he main- tainsat a great expe: when the busivess could be done in Boston at & little addition _to the cost of his present establishment here. Be- sides, the system of doing business has radieally changed within the past ten or twelvo yeard. Now most of the scliing business of our manu- facturcrs Is done by commercial travelers, ana tho goods which are manufactured at our doors can just A’Ewell bo ornlered through ‘runncra’ from our stsldent houscs s from New York branches. This would bring the buyer nearer by at least two removes to the manufacturer, and would, therefore, eive him greater induce- menta Lo trade directly by giving him some of tho profits of the Incvitable middleman under the prescot system. The zooda could be shibped direct from the factory to the merchant South or Weat, through the agency of thie commercial trayclers, by the comntnission merchant rosident 1in Boston.' *But do not tho varfons scctions maintatn purchastni agents In New York " *They do; bat our traveling agents ore sup- nlnnunfl them altogetlier.

I tll oy that New York has lost its sigulficanco as a alf-way market to tho West for us. Itls no longer our rival in this respect. Chicago has becotne the yreat distributing polnt for the orthwest, and various other citfcs fn the West are taking position as contres of alstribution for manufectored goods, Chicago, however, is tha great rival of Hoston for tte distribution of domestics, and New York {s no longer to be fearcd; thereforo New York asa distributing wolnt is no longer to be desired.” ‘8o that you would urge our merchants hav- ing branch Houscs thero to come liouie, withtle hapo of doing just as much business here as thoy are now dolng at both placesi” “Precisoly. And at the samo time thoy would ba building up our city, and incidentally adding tg thelr own prospesity, Our real-cstato futer- cats have been sutferluy badly because some of our Jeading branchcs of business that could be done here a8 woll as elsewhere have been moved away to other placos. These great intorests have suffered during the late and presont de- presslon In business, while the only intercsts that have aporeciably crown during this time are those of the shod and leathicr trade, which have been centred here. This, I think, will fully illustrate why, in my opinlon, it would he wise to withdraw our branch houses froin New York, and do all ihe busineas pertatniug to them in Boston. Iwant you to see Mesars. A, B, and C, and Fuv. theie views on tiis matter, which I concelve to be onu of vital fm- portance, aod one I think an influcntial pa- per liko the Jlerald should atrungly und per- sistently advocate. The times are ripe for a <hange, The revolution fn business whizh is now golng on can suver return that busincss to the old conditions tnder which it wasdeveloped in tiines past. Wo must meet the new order of things by now methods and devices, and if some af thesa would scem to bring us to a rcturn to slvst principles, why, all I huve to say s, Iet us return. Boston was prosperous when sho was the great mart of our doinestic nanafactures, and 1t Is tot unrcasonablo to supposu that prose perity will return acaln with o return of that trade which has been diverted tram her by a factitfous combination of circymstances, think this is uulxiccl deserving ot the deepeat attention, and which our leading commission houses would do well to ponder ou and duly weigh and consider, to tho end that our trade i the future may “LL st ftscl! to a changed, but let us hope more healthy, couditionof things.” Fhe Wager of Lattlo In Missourl.
