Mr. Cooper replied that it did,~uncondition- ly and immediatels. K Mr. McCoy moved that the report be received. The motion prevailed. Judge Miller moved that tbe thanks of the Aszociation be griven to the gentlemen of the Committee for their very admirable paper on the subject. This also prevailed. Mr. Moses stated that Mr. Georze W. Camp- bell, one of the Assiznces referred to in the re- port &s having an avparent penchant for charg- ing bie fees, was present and desired leave to £y 3 word for himeolf. b MR. ANTHONY remarked that, while the report had been re- weived, it bad pot been adopred. He thought itshoold be disposed of before anybody was Leard. The Chairman remarked. that recefving the Teport simply broaght it before the Association for discussion. 3ir. Anthony thought it had been before the Louse all the time. * It seemed to him that oue defectin the report lay in the fact that the Committec had eelected a certain lot of cases which mizht or which inizht nut be fair speci- mens. He would like the Committee to state gue thine: why these assets did not bring more. Was it owing to the manver in which the law Fas administered, or what was the difficulty? The matter of fees was not, in_ his judgment, all that pertained to this law. He uuderstood thatthere had been iustances where members' of the Bur Assocition had litigated cses i which the amounts involved ¥ere sinall, aud the awountscharzed—whether teder the Jaw or not the Committee didu't Flste—had been perfectly enormous. Whether 1lbe Bar Association was wholly or entirely to blame, or ‘whether it could trace up the difli- culties, be did not know. He had had a few bankrapt cases himeelf, and had never made 2urthing out of them, although, as before £tated, he understood there were cases in which the omounts realized had been very small, Thile the amounts chatzed by attorneys had been very larges in fact, immense. While the Teport reached the matter of fees, it did not touch the general system of the law, or poiot out whether the fact that this property did not realize more was duc to the manner in Thich the law was administered, or to tue nature of the law iteelf. 1f the Association Was trviug the law as a system, it should have a rescntation of the whole matter. Even from Mr. Hibbard’s own _statement it appeared that the amount of dividends in certaiu cascs wis entirely out of proportion to the amount of assets. The sabject was being discussed lglruu:lmut the whole country. [t was not love the exorbitant fees which this law permit- ted that were objected to. Our law was, to be sure; vot like the English law, in that it did not allow the assets to be manipulated under the charze of a committee where the persons_inter- ested had something 1o do with them.

Here was 2 report on a_subject 2tont which he bad long entertained de- ¢ided opinions, having been convinced that there ¥ere radical defects in the lawand in its ad- Mivistration. But becsuse the law was uot Properly administered. because the officers over- arged, and becsuse creditors did not get what gssets they ought to get, was 00 reason why the law should be absolutely repealed. He was Obposed to its ‘repeal, believing that its princi- DleSwere correct. Whenever persons were 50 Teduced in circamstances. that there was mo hope left, they oueht to have some Possibi] of recuperation, and there ought tobe some pos sibility of hope. 1lc was in favor of an amend- ment to the law so that all the defects, so {ar as ascertained, might be remedicd and these overcharees and irregularities cured, If the law was repealed, as it would scem it would be, by the present Congress. the namerous States would adopt Bankrupt laws of their own, and there would be no uniformity whatever. Mas- £achusetts had already anticipated the repeal of the law and had adopted one of her own. Iili- mois had adopted a sort of a law, but ot an absolute Bankrupt law. Varfous laws would be enforced in various States, and it was unjust that there should be this lack of nniformity throughout ¢he country. He therefore moved the followive amendment ; .

JUDGE MILLER made one of his vizorous speeches. The Bank- rupt law, he remarked, bad been in operation about ten years. Some of fts defects had been very distinetly set forthin thereport. These were the cvils on the surface, Lawyers hid always apprehended their existence, but unti this report was heard had wot any definite ~ evidence of the fact, This evidence had been procured by s very careful and detuiled examination. He presumed the experfence in Chicago bad been repeated in vearly all the citiesof the Union. Bur there was auotber difliculty eogendered by this lasw, oressing very closely on our commercial inter- ests, which had uotas vet been touched upon or suggested by the report. It was this: so loug as the Government provided a way where- by a person could be absolved from bis personal obligations by paying fees to the ofticers con- nected with i{s courts, these persons would not be veryapt to makea full and clear surrender of all therr proverty. In faet, they would not be vearly 5o apt to do this as when they were brought into a Bankruptcy Court by compui- sion. When a person in debt cante to the port- als of such a court he wus greeted by the par- tics interested in his suit by reason of the pro- spective fees they were to enjoy. They wero very easy with such a person, taking almost any statement be might choose to mive resarding his assets. Nor would they be very scrupalous in their examinations of them. Practically, n man surrendered to these oflicials just the amount of praperty he chose to surrender. ‘'he balauce he kept, generally in the name of some friend, so that the real assets were not appropriated to the payment of his debts. The larger part of the assets was 50 kept that bank- rupts might enjoy the benefit of it after they | shoud have obtained their discharges, This evil excited distrust in commervial Jaw,—the fact that there was a passare through a Court of Bankruptey where a person could escape his pecunlary oblizations, slip throuzh them asa reptile siipped through Wis skin, and leave noth- iug but a valueless cuticle behind for;his credit- ors to feed upon. A faw that made it possible Tor a debtor 'to avoia or escape nis pecuniary obligations_ in that wuy ousht to be’| repealed. It engendered dishonesty” smong oflicials, among debtors, and was a great shadow upon the commercial prosperity of a community where it was in force. This cvil, he thought, far transcended all the cvils that resulted from ex- travagant fees. But there was another consideratfon demand- ipg its repcal. A and B, in the same line of trade, were struggling along for years to pay their debts in full. A had approached the poiot where his assets just equaled the amount of “THE FIKST.” Laying of the Corner-Stone of' Their New'®Armory. The Prog;ramms Carried Onf in 2 Drenching Rain-Storm. As cach member of the First Regiment opened his cyes from sleep yesterday morming, his first thought was as to the staté of the weathor outside, and before he eettled himself for a last nap he arose, rubbed his peepers, and looked out of his bedroom window ot the sky, for bets had been frecly wagered during the week that Saturday wonid be & rafny day, because. the gailant First was Intending to lay the corner-stono of 1its new armory with a display which had been appropri- ately advertised to the people. Lo aud behold, surc enough, when the afore- said member of the organization looked upward from his window, he was frowned down upon by pitiless heavens, which had zlready, between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock, burst forth in a small tor- rent of pent-up emotions, 0s & presage of what was to follow. Then it looked for a time as though it ‘might be intending to blow over.

From 12 o'clock untli the time the Firt went out, the members could be scen peering out of the win- dows of the armory at the threatening sky, which was sending down torrents of rain, filling the streets with the vilest mud that could be imagined, and repdering Michizan avenue a literal illustra- tion of the Slough of Despond.

Arrrived in the vicmity of the new Armory building, on Juckson street niear Michigan aveuue, about a dozen shots from artillery announced the commencement of the ceremonias, It was raining fast and furiops when the pro- cession approached the stand whero the exercises of lnying the corner-stone were to take place.

He hadn't got the stufl. Then he wus asked how much he could pay. Well, he replied that he could pay30 ceuts on the dollar provided thev would give him six, twelve, and eizhteen months’ time without interest. If they didn’t do that, he saig, he would have to put his effects info bankruptey and then they would probably get about 20 cents. The creditors, as reasonable _men, not understaning the eflect of this upon B, said at once ‘* A has bought goods of us for many vears. He has been a 7ery honorable trader and we will let him go because he will continue trading with us.” So they took A’s paper at 50 cents on the dollas, payable within six, tweive, and eighteen months, and gave lum his discharge {rom all his oblizations. What bad A made out of that? If his goods were worth $100,000. 2nd he owed that amouut, he bad made just $50,000, aud all he had to do to make this ‘was to hold.un to his creditors tnis ruinous alternative of remitting them toa court of bankruptey unless they accepted his proposition. Well, they had forrotten B. A returned to trade with his £50.000 of mage capital, undersold B, and gradually ran him out until B had to go into bankruptey, or repeat tae same money- making process.

After the soldiery bad been drawn up in proper sbape, Mr. D. C. Cregier, Past Grand Mauster of INinois, A. F. and A. 3., stepped to the front of toe platform and made an introductory epeech. He gaid that they had assembled tozetber for pur- poses that were ahke honorable to themselves and for the good of the community. At the command of the Communder-in-Chief of the military forces of the State. they were abouot to put in place the corner-stone 6f 2" new building for the accommo- dation and use of the citizen-soldiers. There was also a proceswion of solaiers and Free Masons, join- ing in doing honor to the occasion. They were all members of an open and enlightencd Government, and, being at peace with all men, it was not imappropriate that for the cere- mony af hund they shonld pot away the sword and take'n hand thé trowel to perform the pleasing task of dedication. They ehould not forget that, however simple he work might be, they owed it to themsclves to commence it with the blessing of the Almizhty. Prayer was offercd by the Grand Chaplain. Tl following was then read: of this faw, which ought to be repealed at ouce. It had imbedded it; in the commercial sys- tem of the country like a malignsnt cancer, and was slowly consumiug its life. The way to cut it off was to do it at once and not to wait tour months, in which it would stimulate its activ- ftx. The Assoviation had better not sav any- thing about it all, i it d1dn’s fatend to work for its repeal altogether. The country had been tryinz o amend it ten years, stiffering these evils all the while. 1t was not possi- bie to amead it, because Congress would not acrce upon any Bankrupt law which would be acceptable to the whole country. The conditions of commercial men in differeni parts of the Union were different, sud the same law would not do in Illinois and Massachusetts. He would submit it to any gentleman present, whose experience extended back to the period preceding the passage of the Bankrupt law, whetlier he ever saw an honest merchani in Chicago—who failed honestly, and was aisposed to give up his property when be couldn't pay bis debts—who bad any difticulty. in getting along with. his creditors.

He therefore moved to postpone the discussion un- til the next regular meeting and have 200 cop- ies of the report printed for the use oi the As- sociation.

It clearly, as-clearly as implication conld do it, su2gested the wuspicion, or possibility, of o conspiracy involving us and our client, Commis- wioner Fitzgerald, 1o let the case go by default and thereby defraud the county ont of the $33,000 i dispute.

The Company oceupy three floors of "the commodious building known as Nos. 110 and 112 Madisoa strect, having a front- age of forty-five feet. The first and second floor have an aren or 45 by175 fect each, andthe basement belug 45 by 203 feet, viving o total arca of more than 25,000 square fect of floor. It may be interesting to the readers of this paper to learn whence this larze establishment came, and how from small beginnings it has grown to become the most complete tea gud grocery house n the country. The story of its rise 13 the story of perseverance, attention to strict business principles, and unexampled en- terprise. In the vear 1865 Mr, Christian Jevne started a tes store on Kinzie street, subse- quently opening auother uugic on North Clark street, where he gradually built up a fine retail trade. This store was destroyed by the fire of 1571, but tue cnereetic proprictor Immediately proceeded to recommeace business by erecting a building on Halsted sireet, between Washing- ton and Randolph strefts, the trade of the city at that time and for 3 vear afterwards being Iargely on the West Side. Later, when the city began to reassume its accustomed ~ currents of trade, Mr. Jevne opencd another storeat his old place on North Clark street, near the bridge, running Lbth establishments with continued success and prosperity. But he had long been anxious to secure a good location in the centre of the city, and eeveral times negotinted for the lease o the premises now occupied by him, but without beingz able to effect ao arrungement. On the 1st of May this year he was finally enabled to rent the building, and here may now be seon his consolidated establishment. In the basement are stored huge sacks and barrels of coffees, spices, aud sugars, fimnll::[ the ere, vast -space almost to the ceiling, too, are ponderous steam engines for roasting coffees and grinding spices. There are complete steam coffee and splee mills, two largest-sized Burns’ roasters, nuviu% 3 capacity of eighty bags a day, four coffce mills, and two burr-stone soice mills. The ground floor is arranged in departments for the saleof all kinds of groceries at wholesale or retail, and on the upper floor are stored still greater quanti- ties of grocers’ goods The establishment should be seen to be appreciated. Some idea of its size and commercial importance may be gathered from the statement that the sales average from $40,000 to $30,000 a mouth the year round, and that its customers are found in every State throughout the Wesl JUST WHAT WE HAVE LONG * NEEDED. Enlargement of the Renowned Tivoll~It Is Now to Chicago What Declinonlco’s Is to New York. Chicago boasts with pardonable pride of the evidences of permauent prosperity in the shupe of magnificent hotels, colossal business houses, and palatial residences, and with this prosperity comes the demand for all the elegant trifles and epfcurian luxuries to be found fn older and more wealthy communitics. The cullnary de- partments ol our hotels and restaurants al- ready compare ‘favorably- with thote of any Eastern clty in the preparation and sery- jng ot dainty dishes. But in one very fmportant partfcular our best res taurants _have been nmotably deficient. ‘There has iong been a demand for the cosy and elegant retirement of the private parlors and suppgr roons such as the New Yorker finds at the Delinonico, and of which be is never tired of boasting. ‘With their characteristic business sagacity and enterprise, the mavagers of the Tivoli Garden, that favorite resort of our leadiug citizens, ap- preciuting this demand, have undertaken to supply the necessary accommodations. For the past month a small army of artisans have been at_work oy the second foor of tne Ex- chanze Building, "and the result of their Iabors - was shown in the opening last week of the elegant recention parlors und pri- vate dinfng-rooms. A fluely finished staircase invites the visitor by its broad aud easy ascent {from the ladies’ department to ethe réception parlors on the second floor frooting on Washin; ton street. Here the eye, is carmed by the ex- quisite taste displayed “in the furnishing and decorating, and a tour through the differcnt apartments ranged on either side of the hall- way shows that nothiog has been forzotten or omitted that would tend in any wav to add to tbe comnfort and attractiveness of the rooms. The soft yielding carpets, the tasteful frescofuz and decorating, soud the elegant furnishing leave nothing to be desired. The business man who wishes to entertain A cus- tomer, or the gentleman who bas oceasion to lunch with bis” family, can_bere discuss their private affairs, free from intrusion or inter- ruption while enjoying the best of serviee and the choicest productions of the culinary art. Of the mavagement it is sufliclent to say thay it will remain_unchanged. Mr. Bemis, of the firm of the Downer & Bemis Brewing Com- pany, whose extensive brewlng cstablishment 18 s0 well-known to all lovers of the foaming amber neetar, is the mastér. spirit of the undertaking, and he is ably seconded by that veterun in the ort of catering, Col. Wilson, the active manager, who numbers bhis fricuds by the thousand, and who has no superior as a caterer in the world. Withsucha management the high character of the place will be Tuily maintained. it requires no proph- et to predict & successtul future for Chicago's Delmonico. . ————tr— THEODORE'S STORY.

Inthe past the great desideratum of the trade was a large, showy. and spongy loaf, to manufactare which the dough had to be fermehted or rotted until the tlavor of the flour was complete- 1y gooiled. The result was families were compel- led to bake their own bread oreat that alike un- healthy and anpalatable. Mr. D, F.
