The fovitation of the Democratic County Central Committee, sent 10 prominent Demo- crats 10 meet at the Palmer House last evening 10 consider the plan of organization adopted by the Committee, heretofore published, was responded to by a large number of the Democ- racy. Among the prominent ones preseut were Gov. McRae, William C. Goudy, 8. C. Judd, Rebert Ray, Col. Snowhook, Judgze Forrester, Alg. Riordan, Gus Van Buren, Jobn Hise, . B. Boyden, J. J. Crowley, C.C. P. Holden, Justice Ingersoll, Hugh McLauchlin, Frank Cunningbam, Moses Wentwortt, John Mattox, Judge Miller, Chris Casselman, Col. Voss, Hank Shepherd, Frank Asmnew, Judge Shreve, Charley King, Senator Robinson, Cbarley Audrieux, George Eberbardt, Hans Herting, Ald. Daly, Cal. Shruley, P. McHugh, Mike Evans, Miles Kehoe, Pat Rafferty, John F. Scanlan, Al Rysn. ex-Ald. Hildreth, Commissiouer Cieary, and William Lay, Jr. 'PI:r:rc were about 100 in all present. Mr. Jolin Forsythe, Chairman of the Central Committee, in calling them to order, said the Committee, in instructing him to extend them an inyitation to meet with it to consider the plan of organization adopted by the Committee, and to make sugizestions to perfect and execute the plan so as to Secure an eflicicnt organization of the Democrstic party in the county, fully recognized the fact that it was simply the representative of the Democracy, {rom whom it derives its authority to a:t, and ‘to whom alone it was respousible for its man- agement. The plsu of organization was ma- tured by a select committee composed of five members from the Central Committes. aided Dy representatives of auxliery Democratic or- ganizations and prominent representative Dem- ourats, who cheerfully comphed with the request of the Committee to meet with it for the considerationof the plan of or- panization. The plan was simple and demo- cratic, and left to the people the selection of representatives, who would have the manage- ment of the affuirs of the partyin tha several clection preancts, wards, and districts 50 as to oryauize the Democratic sentiment and make it eflicient in securing a Democratic victory in No- vember. The statements published v the news- papers that there was a corflict of authosity be- uween the Cook County Central Comwitie, up- poiuted Oct. 25, 1877, dnd this Commitiee were without any foundation. To prove this state- uent, Mr. Forsyibe read a lettec eizmed by seventcen of the twenty-three members of thie old Committee, which st forth that they fully recogmzed the right of the County Convention of April 6, 1578, to appoint a new committee, and that their term of office tad expired. [Ap- plause. | TUE COMMITTEE DESIRED SUGGESTIONS made iu regard to the plan of orzunization, and as 10 the best mode of carrying it wto effect. It was apparent thut its success depended on the support of the Democratic voters of the county, and without their confidence it woula ‘The first_important step was 1o select proper men as jud<es of the clection in the several precincts for committeemes nd . it was the desire of the Committee to select them so a3 10 meet public approval. Those vreseat were invited to sugeest names for consideration. He assured them that the Com- mittee had no personal ends to achieve, but its only wish was to perform fts duty by making un ctlicient organization of the “Democratic voters of the county and then retire, leaving the power in tue hands of their successors to be chosen under the plau adopted. Every political ‘varty to be successtul must be 2 party of priu- civlés 2nd measures, and whenever it was pros- tituted to personal gims it must and ought to meet with defeat. [Applause.] Judge Forrester said that, iu order merely to brine the approvat of the plan of the organiza- tion hefure the meeting, ire would move a reso- luticn, which be did, as Toilows: .

Mr. McRiae, an attorney of this city, was ealled upon the Chair, under the name of **Gov- ernor.”” He expressed Liwself as greatly pleased Wwith the display of an approach to harmony in tue ranks of the Democrucy. In & residende of two years in Cook County, he had been sur- Triséd and painca at the dissensions in the party. He could understand a quarrel over the spoils when the party was in office, but could not understand why they should reluse to share With one avother the consolations of defeat. He wanted the slx members of the old Comunic- tee to give i their udhesion to the document " siemed by the seventeen. Furibermore Le wanted to know whetber the League was goiug 10 come forward sud harmon- ize,and whether the City Cent Committee would do so also.

There would not be a County Couvention un- til shorily before election, and unless they got to work bt away they wonld find themselves in the usual stute of disorzanization. al sense and at the baliot-box. He believed that the rich were no better than the poor, the educated no better than the igoorant, the men who wore clean shirts no better than those who wore dirty shirts. Having gotteu ofl this picce of demarrozury, which —ought to help him greatly in bis race for the United States Senate (if his party entertain such notions in their en- tirety), Mr. Goudy proceeded to argue in favor of orezanization under the proposed plan. They wanted to overthrow corruption and subsidies, and to cut down the taxes, and that was all. He did mnot care who got the oftices. lie was not a candidate for office, and never expected to be one. All he wanted was that good men should be elected, and_if they joined for this purpose they would die with clear consciences. MALCOLM ’DONALD deplored the lack of ormamzation, referring to the failare of the “Tamwmauy,” and saving it it was for the interest of the Republicans to keep them divided. Opening barrels did no good. The voters must be gotten out. The ouly move in the right direction for years was that made by tbe present Committee. The Democrats bud been ignored. He wanted to know who illled the oflices. Honest Democrats were necded. (Applause.] Corruption and fraud had stalked the whole land for sixtcen years. They had not worked as Democrats, but came _together to sec how much money they could make. Men Lad to be paid $5 or 310 for peddling tickets, cte. He indorsed the plan of orgunization pro- posed. It was & burning shame that the Deimocracy were not better organized. Every mun went in forhimself. [Applause. ] ‘The Chairman read a letter from Joseph E. Smith, who said he fully sympathized with the objects of the meeting. Harmony was the first law of the party. With it he had no doubt avout the result of the tall election. Huns Hertm said they sadly needed organ tion. If the Democracy ever hoped to succeed they must cease what they had been doing for ars—relying upon accidents to belp them. ley must get rid of those men who were Democrats for momentary and utilitarian reasons. and also of_those who were Democrats only because the Republicans refuse to buy them. [Applause.] If the proposed orsariza- tiou would do no other good, it would result in & purification of the party. Heargued that the present Central Committee could not delegate thieir powers to another body. Miles Keboe was called on, aud said that he approved of the plan. It digu’t make any dif- serence to him who effected the orzanisation, and be didn’t believe in finding fault with those who undertook the Jabor. [Applause.] They allowed the people to have the power. With the orgapization, he thouzht something could be accomplished in the county. [Applause.] he previous question was then ordered, and the resolution wis unantmously adopted. Hugt McLaughlin thought it was a good time to senc in the names for precinct juds Mr. Judd remarked that that would take up a great deal Ot time, and he suggested that the names be sent to the Committee. “This was adopted by general assent. The meeting then adjourned. ANOTHER WHACK AT IT. In pursuance of the call issued by Johr For- gythe, the represeutatives of the old County Central Committee, the new ditto, the City Ceu- tral Committee, the Tammany organization, and the Democratic League, met last evening in Room 17 of the Palmer House. William Law, Jr., of the old Committee, presided, and H. K. Merritt acted 8s Secretary. There was a full Committee from all five of the organizations, as follows: 014 County Central Committee—William Law, Jr., J. B. Calhoun, Col. Sharley, David Thorptun, Mate Fleming. New County Central Committee—Frank Agnew, J. H. Hildretn, M. W. Itobinson, N. . B. Boyden, W. J. liynes. City Ceutral Committee—W. H. Conden, T. J. Fitzgerald, D. Thomton, J."B. Caflioun, "W 3. ryin.

Senator ‘Robinson instructed the assembled wisdom as to what the new Central Commiitec were groing to do. Mr. Thorotou wanted to know what author- ity the representatives of the new Central Com- mittee bad for their statements. ‘The Chair said he also wanted to be enlight- ened upon the same subject. Mr. Thornton asted 1f the new Committee calculated to abide by the action of this body, and what they would do if the plan was re- jecled by thes Senator Robinson read the plan. He said that, no matter whst they did, this had been adopted by the new Committee and it would he carried out in any case, He appealed to all good Democrats to help fn the cause aud to or- ganize for the commou defcuse. But the plan was sure to be carried out anyhow, and, this blex:]v_; understood, be wanted the co-operation of all. z Mr. Sullivan objected to the introduction of any B CUT-AND-DRIED L Mr. Hosmer and Ald. Tuley joined in the be- Hef that the Senutor not justitied in the use of coercive expressions. On_wotiou of Col. Shurley, the plan was re- ceived for consideration. Ald. Tuley introduced.the following resolu- tions, which were adopted without debate: That the plan of the Committee appointed by the pew Central Committee mwets the spprooation of this Jomt Committec, with the following excep- ione: ‘Tne plan should he £0 modified as to mske regls- tration precede the election of 1he precinct men. ‘hat ‘the ward comunttees, compored of the committeemen of euch precinct. should be required 10 mee: within twenty days afler their election of the commiticemen, and select tue men to form the new County Central Committee, tnd that said Committee, when appolnted, snould immediately on theyr eiection have ll the power lieretofore ex- grcised by the County Cetral Committee of Conk County. That the plan be so modlified that the members of the County Central Cowmittee representing the wards of the city shall constitute the City Central Committee. That if thie new Central Committee is willing that this Jomt Committee shall sciect from the preseut new Central Committee tive men who shall name the first judges of registration “and election, this Joint Committee will indoree the plan yropored with the modifications herein specified. “Thata committee of five be appointed by the Chair to snbmit the plan as_above modifed to an adjourned meeting of this Joint Committee. The Chair named as said Committee Messra. Tuley, Hynes, Calloun, Condou, and McNally. It wes settled that: the -Committee of Five should mect in Mr. Hrues oflice on Tuesday asternoon, and that the adjourned wmeeting of the twenty-five ehould be held at the Palwer House next Saturday evening. The Democratic League want it understood that, even if the scheme is adopted, and last night's activn does not give much hope thereof, that body will contiue in session as 1 check on toe Central Committee. In fact, it seems that five Democrats willing to trust otner five out of their sight, or furthier than they can throw them, cannot be found in Cook County. The new eru of conciliation opens with the prospect of a Jovely row i the near future, *MISCELLANEOTUS.

The ofd officers were re-elected for the ensufog six months, and the tlection of delezates to the coming County Convention to send deiegates to the State Convention was discussed. 1t was finally sgreed that, at 8 meeting to be neld two weeks beoce, nine candidates for delegates to be voted forat tie primaries should be selected, atter which A.

Fully 8,000 Well-Armed and Drilled Men on Hand for Action. Behind This Is the Full Strength of Law-Abiding Citizens. * Should the Communistic leaders see fit to in- dnce their followers to show their teeth again this summer they will find the Mayor and citizens of Chicago prepared to give them a warm reception. Suid the Captain of a Com- munist company to a reporter last Monday cvening, while in convereation with him at Ssch’s Hall, Brown and Twenticth streets: “If them big-bugs had seen us sll drilling yesterdsy morning at Silver-Leaf Grove, I guess they wouldn't talk much about cleaning of ug out—not much. Why, I could take my company of seventy-five or cightymen ad I could clean outall the police and them baby-soldiers put together. The regiments would tura tail and run before we could get a chauce to fire a shot at’em. I tell you we mean business.” Yes, they probably **mean business” about as they meant busiuess Izst summer; they fully resolved to conguer or dic when they first started out. They robbed the lumber- yards of laths aod Dbillets of wood, and, collecting in crowds, they strolled about wherever tney could find a man or boy at work and stopped him. The latter they generally persuaded to joiu them ard assist in preventing others from laboring. A few of the former were ulso pressed into the service, but tue bet- ter dispused went to their homes, or helped to swell the immense crowds of spectators, who only stood around and looked on, retarding the police in their work of quelling the disturbance. [he bauds of lawless ones strolled about from pillar to post, threatening the authoritfes aud the capitalists aud the busiuess portion of the coninunity with dire vengeance; they even went 60 lar 4s to comuit wauton ucts of vun- dalisa. But how did these heroes of the cause act when the autborities took hold of this casef Under the Constitution aod the laws, the au- thorities bave no might to interfere with any person or party until they commit gome o1 act; then the pofice are to arrest persons uctu- ally engaged 1n lawless proceedings, und if re- sistance is oifered it becomes a riot, and all the available forces at commaud may beused by the Mayor in_putting down the insurrection. Well, after all the bombastic bravado, the Cow- mumsts were found to be fust what all men who ever had any experience in_such matters suid they would be,—arrant cowards. They evaded the police, and they fled like sheep when the armed and disciplined Torces of militia were brought vut and marchea in their dircetion, It was the auty ot the writer to visit the lum- ber regions of Twenty-second street at the com- menvement of the riot. Fully 3000 men and boys had assembled there und were marching through the dilferent yards, some bearing bau- ners with iuscriptions ‘upon thein, totlowed by the wrathful horde, armed with clubs and stones. They COMPELLED EVERY MAN in the district to stup waork, and drove off the proprietors. They were furious,and their oaths and indignant cries might have been heard for blucks away. Presenuly, Lieut. Vescy hove in sight = with eight licenen, each armed with an old_muzzle-loading musket with arusty bayonet. There were no signs of any ammubition about them. The crowd divided respectinily to the right and the left as the brave squad marebed through their midst direct to the centre of the field. A man came around the coruer of 4 lumber-pile bearing a bavner. e was arrested. Several men spraug forward and protested. Each of these were arrested, and thenme policemen walked off to the stution with at least twelve of the 3,000 brave rioters, besides carrying their musketscarelessiy in thefr hands. The prisoners wer locked up 1 cells, aud the squad returned for more. s ‘T'hat was about the way they meant business. ‘Their intentions were all right, but ike the Irishman, they **had cowardly lezs.” Then the militia was brought out. The Second Regiment was marched out first. Teo Comuunsts nad a forlorn hope thatu the boys of this organization would turn in with them, even as the militiamen of Pittsburg turn- ed in with the rioters; they had made their boasts to this etfect, and tue report had been circulated over the eity. In consequence of this, the Second was permitted 1o get iuto close quarters with them. But they recioned without their host, for the gallant boys in blue did their duty promptly, obeyed the commands of thetr oflicers, and routed the insurgents. The First Regiment was marched out on the following day. These were called *lick-spit- tles™ and “sons of cupitalists” by the eurased but cowardly assassios, aud they hated this organization as a rabid dox does cold water. But the gallant boys In gray were actually not able to ger within rifle-range of a blood-tub, and many in the command did not see one un- til they went to Braidwood. R company of regular soldiers warched Jdown Tweifth streec, and a person would have thought it was Suo- duy, so deserted wero the streets. So much for the bravery of the Communists, who “would rather dis by a bullet than to starve to death by inche.” As for the prepara- tions for theur reception, thecity is betterable 1o cope With 40,000 of them tlus” suminer than it was to meet 3,000 o year ago. Then the police were in_a partially demoralized coudition, ow- iug to changes made and others coutemplated, THEY UAD NO ARMS to speak of, and very little ammunition. The militia regiments bad as good us dis- banded preparatory to reorganization under tae new Militia faw, aud the old beroes sud veterans of the Iate War had become unsuspecting pri- vate citizens, with never a thought of contlict i their heads. There was no cavalry, no ar- tillery, no awnmunition, “no notbing.” The two regiments marched out as skefetons, with the ranks parciaily filled with green boy-volu: teers, most of whom had never had a musket i their bands. Yet their very presence was enough to queil the mob. Now, the militia is thoroughly organized under the laws of the State; all the members are enlisted for fiye years, and a wmajority of 1hem have been drilling from two to four yeare. There fs no better disciplive to be found “in a battation of rerular soldiers than may beffound in either the First or Second Regiments. The members will muarch as one man wherever ordered by their commanders. The Police Department yesterduy received from he Citizens' = Association” a von- sigoment of 1, fmproved Spring field breech-loading rifles, calibre 50, with a tull compliment of buyonets, and quantity of amuunition. 1t {s quite likely.that 4 compuny of police will be formed, which will bearmed with these muskets, though ‘to arm all would piainly be to destroy the etticiency of the police in making arrests. * Yet, these guns will be most usetul as a contingent to arm volunteer veterans, ol which the city is well supptied. The Department also received from he same source a consignment of * billtes,” to be used by special police, sworn in for the oc- casion. The tollowing able will show the ap- proximate number of fully-urmed, equipped, and thoroughly-driled troops in the cicy sub- jcntiw the command of the Mayor at au hour’s Totice: ) Firet Regiment Infantry. 020 Second Fegiment Infantry 230 Sixth Battalion Infantry.. 175 Sixteenh Batwlion Colored Tutunt: 80 First Regiment Cavairy 100 Total about 1,255 The above are ail State troops, which may be relied ou in an emergency, asud which could be put upon the streets wside of an hour. Besides these, there are several independent organiza- tious, which could not find any better enjog- ment than to lend a helping hand in case of trouble, Luckey's Zouaves, numbering about thirty-five cuns, would tura out asacompany in the Sixth Buttalion. Then there is an inde- peadent battery, recently organized, under the control of the Police Departinent. The officers of this organization are: Captain, E. P. Tobey; First Lieutenont, F. 8. Allen, and Second Lieu- tenaut, L. F. Jacobs. These have been elected for oue year. Every one of the enlisted men,— thirty-two in nuwmber, thus far,—are skitled in the bandlivg of light artiliery, from actual practice in the late War, and a finer looking lot of fellows it would be bard to find. The name of the organizationis the *Chicago Veteran Light Artillery.” Their headquarters s fn the Exposition Building, along with the Secoud Regiment, and the place is well guarded by the latter. The battery held a rezutar wouthly meeting last evening, at which Lieut.-Col. Joe Dixon, of the Police De- partment, was appointed Chaplato. He made o speech, in which he thanked the members for tne courtesy sbown him, and made » few state- wments for ‘their information and encourage- ment. He suid that he considered them a part of tie Police Department, and their success was able to sccure two more new ones, making a full battery, or six pleces. He was glad to sec the men comfng fn so fast. A committee of ten was appolnted to solicit aid among the busi- ness men_ to buy uniforms and equipments. A vote of thanks was tendered the pressof the city for its eacouragement. The meeting then adjonrned, and the two new uns were unlfm- bered for the boysto driil and practice upon. ‘These guns are twelve-pound brass Napoleon light artillery pfeces. In addition to the permanent military and clvic orzanfzations aiready mentioned, there are in this ity many bundreds of veterans, belong- fug tothe Veteran Club and the Grand Army Posts. These will be supplied with guns from the contingent, and they know very well how to use them. ® Thus it will be seen that therawill be not less thun 8,000 ermed men ju this aty, ready for any row that the Communists may kick up, and they will uot want better sport than to put it down. The City of Chicago is as well prepared to meet a riot as any city In America. or HYDE PARI. Passage of the Aunual Appropristion BIIL. The Board of Trustees met at the Villuge Hall yesterday afternoon. All the members present. An ordinauce was passed to compel all able- bodied males between the ages of twenty-one and fifty, to work on the streets for not more than threedays in each year, or to pay in de- fault thereof the sum of $1.25 per day, and every team furnished will be allowed $3, 1o be charged in the acconnt. Nine Street Commissioners and as many Road Masters were appofnted. The Judiciary Committee reported that cou- siderable progress has been made in the matter Ireasurer’s defaleation, and that measures intended to protect the incerests of the villaze are being pushed es rapidly as the nature of the case will permit. No etforts are beingt spared to investigate ull facts in this con- nection, that we muy act understandingly; snd, as it is probable that considerable complicated litigation will result, in the preparation of which much Iabor and cure are requisite, your Com- mittee are not uow ready, and at present do not think [t wise, to report further details of ju- tended action and the results of investigation. ‘The License Committec Lo whomn wasreferred a petitionsigned by 636 names asking the Board not to grant licenses for the sule of liquor in the First District east of Woodlawn avenue, reported recommendiug that all applications for licenses to sell liquor shall be passed upon separately at the meetiug of the Board subsequent to the one that the application was read and referred, and that the prayer of the petitioner bo not granted except us above.

The clearings of the Chicago banks for tast week exbibit a decresse e compured with the corre- sponding week of lasi year. The Sigurcs ate re- spectively $18,689,075.21 aond $20,872,576.90. This decrease is to be accounted for in o good many other ways than by a decreuse in business. This has been ulladed to more than once n this column, but s worth repeating. Bank cloarings, like all other staifsticy, need explanation and aunalyeis. There are many causes at work which, even if busi- ness generally was a8 good a3 it was lust year, or better, would make the clearings less. These are the decline 4n prices, the decrease in the | £ook Lo0%-e- sumber of banks, the absenco of specu- | Luniber. mi.fi Intion on the Board of Trade, 1n real catate, and | §hinele .- stocks, the number of small dealers who, since the bunk fuilures, have given up keeping bank ac- counts, and the exstension of tho cash system in wholesale as well s retail trade. The aggregote allowance for these makes & large total, and wakes it unsafe to argue from a decrease in clearings toa decrease In business. The loaus of the bank were light during the week. The country applications for rediscounts were vory few. Rates of discount were U@10 per cent. New York exchange sold between banks ot 25¢ per 51,000 preminm.

Erida LOSSES IN SUGAR-REFINING. The business of sugar-relining has become 80 un- profitable that some of the New York banks refuse to discount reduers’ paper. The President of a well-known commercial bank, in an interview with u reporter, acknowledged thut his bank had declined singie-name sugar paper, because it was kuown that sugat-reliners were losing money. The loss omounts 10 0NE OF LWO cents & pound, 4 Was shown by the losses of Edgar & Booth. The First National Bank of New York censed some time ago to duscount sugar paper. The troable with the sugar trade 1 over-production, and thls can b corrected only by the exterannation of the weaker concerns. The loases of the sugar trade have been from 5,000, 000 to $10,000, 000 in 1870-'77. GOLD AND THE STNDICATE. Nobody outside of tne Syndicate and the Treas- ury Department knows how much gold bas been paid into the Treasury by the Syndicate. The specie.lost by the New York banks since the con- tract wont into operation atwounts to $16, 000, 000. ‘The representative of the Syndicate {n the gold- room has been observed to buy ubout 312, 000,000 ingold. These facts aro the busis of estimates which place the gold put into the Trensury by the Syndicate wt all the way from $13,500,000 to $18,000.000. ‘The balance of the Syndicste’s 1n- debtedness to the Governmeut has been settled by the deposit of bords upon which, till Jun. 1, the Syndicate will draw G per cent interest.

The leading produce markets were lesa active Saturday, and grain was steadicr, while provisions were again un the down-grde, after s firm open- ing.

The receipts of grain were smaler, while those of hogs wure large for the closing dsy of the week, and the footings for the past week and month showed o heavy aggre- gate. The shipping movement was not very active. The dry-goods market was devold of new fea- tures. A fair scasonable demand for staple and fancy goods existed, and tho gemeral temor of prices was steady. Grocerles met with increased attentfon, aud were generally firmer than at the beginning of the week, though no articie in the 1ist was subjected to any quotable change. The butter market was weak all around, with some grades selling lower. Cheese aizo was dull and declining, with fuli creams offered at TX@Tlsc. Dried froits and fieh remalned as last quoted.

The demand for green {ruits was good, and domee- tic varicties were nearly ull sold early, berrles tak- ing the lead as usual. Foreign fruits were abund- ot and rather quiet. The supply of poultry was emaller, and o stronger market was noticed for anything desirable. Eggs wero rather weak.
