Nervous Feeling Among Timid Citi- Zens---Wild Stories in Curea- lation. No Cause for Apprelicusions--What the Militia Are Doing. The Loose Views of a Socialist Answered. " THE PICNIC. A PEACEFUL DAT. The much-advertised Socialist pienic comes off to-day at Ogden’s Grove, and {f the weather holds flue the probabilitics are fn favor of a large attendance. 1n addition to the societies represented there will be a good many present of the class which attend every Sunday picnie within reachable distance. Then there will be & number who are possessed of the unaccount- able morbid tendency to beon hand wherever there is even the slightest possiility of a row. The processfon will rendezvous on Randolph, between Unfon and Halsted streets, nominally at9 2. m., but probably not before 10 o'clock. A Marshal and sssistants bave been apoointed, and the different trades will be divided up ioto sections. The Lebr und Webr Verein hayo at Iast decided to join fn the procession, but the Boliemlan Sharpshooters will not do so, being engaged at another picoic. There will be a band ‘or two along, some wagons with tablesux, ana A gcore or two of banners, but the * Breud or Blood ** moutoes will in all likelihood bo con- spicuous by their absence. At 3 o'clock there will be speakine in English and German. FOOLISH EXCITEMENT. The stories, many of them very wild, which have been published during the last few weeks regarding the Socfalists and thelr proposed pie- nic, bave stirred up a wonderful amount of un- called-for nervousness among the timid people of the city. Although there never was auy in- tention, so far as human knowledge can” find out, on the part of the Socfalists of gettfug up any disturbance ac their pienic, or at any other time, yet there are actually merchants in this city who are in a condition of abjeet terror on account of what they fear will happen this after- noou. Some of them, it is understood, have removed some of their most valuable per- sonal property outside of the city, hayvo chanired thelr Habits of liviog soas to attract less attention in case of a warfare upon eapital, und are doubtful whether it would not be best for them to shut up their stores Monday and leave the city until the expected diftfculties have gone by, The story reluted below, about an cugineer’s advice to his employer, was told all over the city last evening, magnitied a thousand- fold, and scores of timid men and women went to sleep last night firmly convinced that this eugineer had revealed the secret of a plot to cap- ture and destroy the city to-day. There was also some nervousness at the Stock-Yards, someof the clerks inthe packing-houses com- ing up to the oty yesterdsy to fuvest in cartridges. Another story was that the Super- Intendent of Police had gotten a lot of rowdies to promise to atteud the picnic and kick up a row €0 as to wive the police o pretext for inter- fering, and thus start a disturbance, Of all this nervousness these people will be exceedingly ashamed inaday or two. There will be no disturbauce unless it should be precipitated by cxceeding folly on the part of the police, and they have discussed the matter so long and so thor- ouehly that there is vo reason to fear any such action on their part. The best evidence of the honesty of the Socialists is the fnct that they take their wives and children to this plenie with tham. Where people give such pledges for good behavior they are notapt to conduct them- folvesfll. There will undoubtedly he o Jerse erowd, thanks to_the liberal advertisiuz of the papers; there will be much drinking of Ueer, mueh daning, much talking, and, if the roughs find their way in, there may be some knock- downs. WILD STORITS. A reporier sought out a gentleman fn the evening who was &uid to be badly frightened, since one of his employes had told him that he nad been warned by Communists not to attempt 0 open his establishment Monday morning. “ Do you expect any trouble”’ said the ro- orter. “Noj but one can’t tell what will hapven. To my mind, it only requires a spark o set the thing agoing. I think all good citizens ehould caroll themselves, 50 a8 to be preparod for an emergency.’” “ Are your employes satisfiea, or discontent- ed?! ¢ They are satisficd, and none of them would take part in aoy riot.” * How is it with the men of other cmployers 1a your lnei” I can’t say; but the men, I think, are begin- ning to understand the situation of affnirs—that they are better off than a gond many of the cap- jtalists. As you know, mauy men who were rich two or three years azo have nothing now. an you give e no information sbout the probabilities of to-wmorrow.™ “Well, 1 understand there are 1,000 regular troops in the city.” “fudeed; that’s news to me.” +1 also understand that Field & Leiter have armed all their clerks, avd requested them to be on hand in the morning.” “You astonish me! Have you armed your- self ¢ *No, but_twe all subscribed to the militia fund. We depend on the authorities to protecs s, “ Do you really fear a riot¥” 4] don’t know. Some of my men asked for their wages to-night. That is an unusual thing, a3 we don’t pay off until Monday; and some of them said mci‘wcre foing to leave the city and be, gone a week. I don't kuow what to make of it It wos very evident that the gentleman an- ticipates ared hot time to-day or to-morrow, though he wouldu't admit it. He and others who are as timid will be laughing st themselves next week. TOR MILITIA. " A great deal of excitement prevailed among the women, and those who were not noted for great courage. Yesterday afternoon ¥ Com- pany of the First Regiment, under command of Capt. E. B. Knox, marched dowa LaSallestreet in fatigue upiform, with muskets and smmunition. Large numbers. of the excited populace followed the boys, apa . the most absurd rumors filled the air apd were tloated to the utinost limits of the city. The squad was headed toward Braid- wood, snid some, and there was blood in the eye of every man. 'hxu_\' took 8 train ‘at the depot. at the foot of Lasaile street, and that was the last secn of them. They went out to the Stony Isiand shooting park, and spent the afternoon firing off their guns at a tarzet. No doubt the people withip bearing distance imagined that & war of extermination had been commenced, and fearful carnage was goiug on in the vicinity of Stony Island. Last evening o curious crowd congregated about the Armory of the First Regiment and 1he Exposition Building, wherein are quartered the Sceond Regiment and Tobey’s Battery. They no doubt expected to see ewarms of mifi- tia soldiers pouring into these places to protect tho same and the city. But they were disap- pointed, for beyond the usual guard there was Do stir, Do excitement, Tobey’s Battery held a rezular business meet- ing last evening, at which uothing was trans- acted of more importance than electing scveral new members. Col. Quirk stated to a reporter that there had been no orders issucd as yet relative to to-mor- row, and there was po occasion for any excite- ment. There was a guard at their headquarters suflicient to repel any body of men which might be brought agaivst them. There would be nothivg extra for to-morrow tnat he was awarg of. It was customary for many members of the Secoud to visit the Exposition Buildiog on Sunday. They came and went. A discussion ensued between Col. Quirk, Gea. Torrence. who was present, aud two or tiree others regarding the powers of the Mayor and uis authority to cafl out the State troops and dispose of them accordiog to his own ideas for offcnsive and defensive purposes. Col. Quirk was disposed to thiuk that the Municioal Executive bad the right to call upon the troops for aid, but that here his authority ended; the commanders then had the command of the situ- ation. Others thought differently. At the First Regiment Armory, Col Swain and Lieut.-Col. Williams were met coming down the stuirs on their way home. A comi- pany was drilling on one of the floors. The officers mentioned stated that there had been no orders issued for the men to appear ar the Armory 1o-day, though it was expected that most of the members would be around, and most likely the guard would be slightly streogthened. ‘They, tov, thought there was no cause for excitement, but the Colonet said that the troops were fully prepared for auything. From an official of the Policc Department it Intend was learned that no extra_movement. was con- templated by the stars. The policemen would patrol their beats as nsual. 3 Tha scare, from all appearances last evening, wns confined to u few women and weak men of the outskirts of tne city, who guthered in kuots before front —gates, and insfsted upon it that at a certain hour on Monday every locowotive enrine in the country would “be brought to a stand-still, and then trouble wonld commence, nétwithstanding the emphatic statement of Mr. P. M, Arthur, Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engincers; a few days ago, that no_strike was contemplated, that there was not the slightest excuse fora strike, and that the Brotherbood had no aflilia- tion with the Soctalists whatever. The members of the various zun clubs of the city have, it s autnoritatively reported, offered thelr services to Sherill Kern in case of a riot or rebellious outbreak, THR AGITATION COMMITTER of the Soclalistic Labur party held a meeting last evening at No. 7 Clark street, Mr. J. B. Belohradsk in the chair. Afterauditing anum- ber of bills ond transacting some umim- portant business, Mr. fI. Swil took oc- casion to bring before the Committee an adver- tisement which recently appeared in an evening paper, and which set forth that vapitalists, thioves, and rowdies were wot wanted in the processton. e wished it particularly under- stood that this advertisement was not put in by suthority of the party, and that the party repudiated such contemptible expressions. Mr. Belohordski fully agreed with Mr. Stahl, and thought the man who used the expression should be censured. Mr. Morgan explained that the advertisement ‘was put n by the Cavtain of the Fifth Ward, and the expression was his own, and not of the body he represented. At the next wmeeting of the section the man would undoubteuly be cens sured for his action. Mr. Bielefeld said be was informed that Supt. Hickey meant to make their turnout the oceasion for_carning some laurels. It was stated that Tlickey bhad hired a pumber of roughs to create a row, and thus give him u chance to show himseif. They ought to take steps to guard against such an oceurrence. Mr. Morzan could not sce how they could vrevent Llickey from carrying out any desizns he bad. They might seud a delegation to tbe AMayor asking for & platoon of police to keep order. Mr. Stahl could not see the necessity of such astep. It was the duty of the city suthaorities ta maintain order and not to create disorde: ‘There was altogether too much talk about in- teuded trouble. The sooner these sensatlonal storics were stopped the sooner would the peobte of the city become quict and reassured. Nothing else of pablic futerest was done. LEHR UND WEHK VEREIN. At the meeting of the Agitation Committee Friday evening, a resolution was introduced asking the Lebr und Wehr Verein not to turn out with their arms. 1t was 1aid on the table. There appeared In vesterday's Slaats-Zeitung an official declara- tion, purportiug to be signed by Mr. Schultz, the Recording Seeretary of the Lelr und Wehr Verein, to the effect that the General Counctl had decided, owing to the action of the Soclal- ists, not to turn out at all. This, however, ap- pears to bave becn the act of an unauthorized person, since Mr. Schultz yesterday denied fts correctness, and handed ovey to the Socialist vaper for publication a notice 1o the effect that the Lebr und Webr Verein would, notwithstand- ing all the nonsense that had been said, take part nthe procession. The declaratiou of the Gen- eral Council in the Staats-Zeitung is denounced as a forgery. This terrible organizatfon, there- fore, which numbers at the most about 200 men, will proably turn out. As 1o whether they will carry their muskets with them, they have notyet decided. It {3 probable thac g few will take them. If 8o, this will be the only armed organization in the fine, since the Bokemisn pshooters are going to another picule, which will be held on the West Side. ELSEWHOERE, WASHINGTON.

CORRESPONDENCE. COMMUNISM KILLS INVENTION AND EFFORT— TUERE WOULD BE NO EDISONS, MORSES, WATTSES, OR FULTONS. To the Edltor af The Tribune. Criicao, June 14.—Again 1 find something in the columns of your valuable paper quite at variance with my conception of the truth; and sgain I have come with my modest reply, hoving to be as conrteourly reccived and as handsomcly disposcd of as on former occasions. Trefer to your editarial entitied *‘The Faise Puilosophy of Comumunism,™ which appeared Iust Sunday morning, and which commences thus: **The fundmmental ideas upon which the Com- munists base their system of philosopy are not only false, but absolutely destructive in their tendencles.” T sttnch great Importance to this sesertion, because if it be correct, and If the further assertions brought to support it be true, then T muat admit that I have no grountds upon which to base what I regard ns the omly truc solution of the social and industrial problems: but, on the other hond, if these assertions cannot be sustained, I cluim tnat they cmbody the only semblance of an. argument that fins besn brought to benr against Communism. ‘Now, let me direct your special attention to these words of your own: ~ **’The most disastrous effect of Socialism, ~in which terms we al#o include Com- munism, —if it should ever obtain the ascendency, would be the fatal blow it would give to self-effort and eelf-respect.” And I would express a hove that you may never regard this as a mistake, For my part | am willing to accept this desision a8 tinal, presuming that i I can prove ** the blow iven to-self-effort nud self-respect™ to Le very ight iudeed, you will still hoid the same opinion, Idomnot expect you would grant me epace in which to criticize in detail the flood of assertions with which you follow and eupport the above, bnt you will pefcerve they all have their basis in the supposition thut the Galy possible incentive to hu- mau exertion is the acquirement of material com- pensation or wealth, whieh, In my opin- ton, s taking an unwarraptably misan- thropical view of human aspiration. Far- ther on you @ay, ‘‘Apply Commaunisn 10 the case of Mr. Edison." **Take away all mo- tive for eelf-effort ana all reward for intense labor and inventive ability. and what would be the ef- fect!” **Inmstead of applying his busy brain to the study of sciences and mechanicalarts . . . be, like all others, would have been living a mere hand-to-mouth ’exisience , . . with no more incentive for effort orambition to nee himeelf or his kind than the clods he was hocing.” There you have made o assumptions which are not only infstaken, but waich dieplay great lack of knowl- cdgre of the motives which actuate mankind. Tho first is that society, under a Soclalistic form of or- ganization, would ‘not grant great material com- ‘pensation 10 & man who had Contributed so lareiy us Mr. Edieon to its knowledge and factlitice: an the second and ereatest mistake is to suppose that s man of such vast eenjus could be actuated principally by the desire for such Compensa- tion. -.But to prove that you agree with me in this, let me quote from “your editonal imme- diately following, entitied, **Edixon and Hughes.” The irst wordy_arc. *‘Mr. Edisov, after having excited the admiration of hir counfrymen, 19 called. upon to suiler ong of the most ordinary penalties n?:enlus. A rival hag attempted to'rob him of part of the credit to which he Is justly eutitled.’ 1f you believe Mr. Edison works for material com- pensation you shonld substitute the word mouey for **admiration,” bat_you: know very well thut such a man wou'd epend the last cent of his money sooner tuan lose any bart of the **admiration™ of \which you spcak. ;s Thore {8 nothing, howerer, about the principles of Soclalism 1o denote that the material roward of genins or merit would be ‘withheld; but even if there were, subeistence and the obportnnity for labor being secured, that very **admiration™ of which yoa speak, nnked and alone, wonld be a enfiiciént incentive for the ntmost porsonal exer- tion or *‘self-effort”; but if it were possible to withhold even this, there restd within the soul of every homan beinz an fnert and irresistable Impulse to exercise such powers as are | poasessed, and which I would {llustrate thue: Let ou and I'put our joiut fortuncs together, amonnt- ng perhaps to many millions, and say ‘to AMr. Edison: Here, sir, give up your hard labor, take all thia and go live in'ldle laxury. Suppose even that we could prove to him that to continue in his course was to sink in the most abject noverty, and to forfeit the respect of all bis fellows., Whatdo you think would be the resuit? If he be wise In the philosopy of hapviness. he wonld know that nothing could compensate him for the loss of his dear **creations™ and tha hope of creating mars. The opportunity to continue hit researches would be the one great boon be would ngk, and surely true location wakes far better and more universal provision for such opportunities thun the preseat wystem of Industry. Acain, teking it for granted (or proven) that the nscendency of Communism wonld stop afl cent- ive to self-cflort, and consequently all imorov ment. you proceed to arzue therefrom that, if Commanism had obtained control a century Bgo, we, ‘‘instead of enjuymg the com- forta and convenicnces of innumerable inventions which tend to make life more endurable and en- Jognble, should bo toiling on in the old rough aud painfal way. " 1'would call yoor attention to the fact, howe that when yon come to use the pronoun ** it does not include the sama 1ndividuale as when used Ly your correspondent. e are not cnjoying the comforts and conveniences of which you speak. 1¥e sre stilt toiling on in the ofd rough and pain- ful way. ¥, in fact, are worse off than oar grandfathers. ' It is troe wo have the satisfuction of knowing that somebody cnjoys those thints; but, if you expect us to take great pleasure {n this, you have more confidence in brotherly love und sympathy than the rest of your urticle seems to indicate. BENIAMIN SIBLRY. & OuszrvaTIONS: We are told in Scripture that “the poor always ye bave with you,” and it will bo s0till the end of time. There will al- weys be multitudes of impecunious people. Some by reason of misfortune; some by thrift- lessoess or weakness; mauy on account of luzi- uess and ignorauce; aléo, great numbers by reason of dissipated habits and teudency to loaferism, vice, and vagaboudism. Men and women differ from each other enormously in their natural characteristics, abilities, and apti- tudes, and similar dilferences in their mnterial coudition cannot help resulting therefrom. It is nonsense to suppose that a drunken, lazy spendthrift. will acquire property ns fust asa sober, industrious, and frugal man, or thata weak-bodied, weak-minded person will get ahead in the world 8s fast as the man with a sound brain in s sound body. futellizence helps forward; jguorance pulls the vietim back- wards. Tho great bulk of the poor in this country are not the Americans, but forgigners, who find thelr way hither from the old, overpopulated couutries, withont money, or trades, or edu- cation. They arrivo here strangers, helpless aud destitute, and half of them unable to speak the language of the countrj. They were most~ 1y tenant farmers or day laborers where they came from, but wheu they reach this country they squat down fn the suburbsof cities or towns to scarch for menfal employment, and &re wholly disinclived to go on the lang as farm- ers or laborers. They become too numerous for the city labor market. The supply of their kind of work far exceeds the demand. They Jive from hand to mout, in want aud destitu- tion, and lay the blame on the American social system. They organize themscives into Com- wunistic clubs and purties, and fall into the hands of heartless demaogowues, who inflame their minds with chimericalnotions aud fill them with si)l¥nd absurd bopes. As arule, foreigners as well a3 natfves who are industrious and_frugal, and don’t fool their earnings away on liquor, tobacco, and useless amusements, inuke headway o this country and accumulate a mmpctemfi'. Millious of citizens are in comfortable and independent circumnstances who commenced with nothing, aud worked up by application of industrious, temperate, and economical habits. If the Com? munists are not willing to employ the same means they will remain impecunious in spite of all their red-fiag fulninations aud free-and-easy principles in regard to other people’s earnings and property. Mr. Sibley utters great foolishness in sayfng that men like Edison would plan and fuvent in 8 Communisticstato of socicty for the mere love of the thing. If Communism had been adopted a century aeo ln civilized countries, there would have been no telerraph lines; electricity and its capabllities wonld be unknown; men like Edison would have no opportunities, to say nothing of inceutive, to invent. Oune of the tundamental priucioles of Communism is opposition to labor-saving machinery. In a Communpistic state of soclety there would have been no Guttenvbrg, Wurts, Frank- lin, Prior, Bacon. Robert Fulton, Stephenson, Ericsson, Whitney, Jacquard, Courtright, Arkwright, Howe, McCormick, Hoe, Morse, or Edison. These “labor-savers™ are looked upon ss enetnies of the laboring classes by g~ porant Socialistic blatherskites. It is only s state of soci bused on personal frecdom, self-effort, self-interest, scll-independence, and which secures o every man tha safe and quiet possession of his luwinl earnings, und confers profit und honor on meritorious works, that culls forth the best efforts of the bumun brafu. To begin with, there must be training, educa- tlon, and opportunity; nest there must be tho spur of nccessity and hope of reward. Hence ‘atent laws are necessary to protect the {nvent- ors. Mechanieal inventions have multiplicd very much in proportion to sach protective lawg which Commuuism would fastantly abol- ish. As all property Is to bo owned Dy the State, and held ia comwon under the Com- munistic system, a man would Lave no motive or object in racking his Lrains to fo- vent a patent that may never make his fortuno, or toput forth any effort Jooking to the ac- quisition of property, us he could hold none in lis own right and transmit none to bis ehil- dreu. Al incentive to accumulation or im- provement would be lacking, conacquently there would be neither luvention nor progress. Mr. Edison undouptedly desires fame sud ad- miration for hle wondertul discoverics In telegraphy and acoustics. He Is naturally averse Lo having Hmi)ms, or anybody else, steal his beat and most nnportant inventions, and sccure both the credit and profit of them. Our correspondent I8 vastly mistaken if he suppose Mr. Edison cares nothiug for *material com- pensation” for his {nventions, He has care- sully patented every useful mechanical idea he bas’ made known to the world, and makes whatever moncy be can therefrom. If he sells somo of bis vatents too chieaply it is because he 18 too busy with new mventions to devote the requisite time to ‘‘selling territory” and driving good bargaing.. But if Mr Edison knew that po more patents would be issued to him, and that others would pirate alt the fruits of his Leadaches and hard thinking, we suspect that he would slack up in bis work aud enjoy soms leisure. The force of habit might carry bim forward with a certain jmpet: but the tendency would be to rest. Com: munism, in destroying inceutive to effort, and stilling individuarity, und removing hope of re- ward, would quickly reducs mankina 10 a dul), dark, dead level, an fuert mass of sodden dough, und place then nearly on n plane with the cattle of the ticlds, in which the highest ambitjon would be to eat to live, and to live to eat. The worst would be s ood as the best, the brightest s durk as the dullest, aud the whole commuuity would rust and rot. THE LAW AGAINST RIOTOUS STRIKERS. To the Editor of The Tridune. Citeado, June 15, ~There i3 some apprehension in the public mind of riotous demonstrations this summer by Communists and strikers. And there is much eaid abont mecting the emergency by military preparations. There may arlse a con- tingency when the military arin will become neces- sary s 20 adjunct. But that should mot be em- ployed astho first romedy, and never as the eole one. Wo ghould at tirst attempt, and at all times endeavor, 10 preserve the public pence and protect the righls of property and persons by the civil e sbould repress lawlessnese by lawful messures, and 1ot by those which are in them- selves lawlese, turbulent, and dangerous to the ublic peace. Fortunately We have on our stutate- ok a taw fulfy adequate for such occasions, passed by the last Lezislature, and entitled ** Obstructing business of railrouds,” etc., wnich may be found on page 778 of Hurd's Statutes,. 1877. It provides, in substance, that if any person, by any act or by intimidation, impede or ob- struct the business of any raiiroad. or other cor- voration, firm, or individaal, he shall be panished on conviction by fine not exceeding 3200 and im- prisonment not exceeding ninety days. It further provides that if Lwo or three persons shall conspire tozether to ohstruct or impede, by any act or by means of intimidation, such business of any rail- road or other corporation, firm.or indfvidual, they may on conviction for such combination of con- epitacy be punished to the ame extent. Com- ista, Socmlists, and oOther people may meet, resolve, picnic, and parade 1o their hearty' content, They may strike and remamn idle il they choose. But if they attempt or conspire io induce athers to strike by persuasion or nnmida- tion, the law should be enforced; those who par- ticipate in such lawless acts, and the leaders who advise it, should be eought ‘out, foilowed up, ar- rested, prosecuted, and punished to the extent of the law. Tt would prove far more effective than fring volleys into the canons crowds who always assemble to wilness street demonstrations. L ZX. —————— FIRE AT BUFFALO. Burpano, N. Y., June 15.—The Wadsworth El;‘ E.z'yrxs burved. Loss, $23,000; issursnce, ONE MAJORITY. The Bar Association Has Another \Interesting Meeting. Effort to Reconsider Its Action About the Register in Bankruptcy, by a Yote of 89 to 40.--A Protest Presented. 1t Fails, An attempt was made yesterday afternoon at 8 speciat meeting of the Bar Assoclation to re- voke the action taken in regard to Register Hibbard at g adjourned meeting one week 8go. Ever sinco that memorable and protract- ed meeting there haye been expressions from many of the members of strong disapproval of the action then taken, and not a few have de- clared that such action did not by any means represent the fecling of the Association on the ;subject. Some of the mewspapers have also :been stirring the matter up during the week, and the result of all the talk was the spuclal mecting called yesterday afternoon. The at- tempt to undo the action taken one week azo took shape in the form of a mation to recousider, and both sides of the house were confident of ultimate victory. The sequel showed, however, that the Register aud his friends had buflded Wiser than the other fellows. During the tak- {ug of the vote members of both parties were scen to siide out of the door and presently re- appear in company with one or more new~com- ers, who demanded that their votes be recorded. The Hibbard side did the heaviest works, although it accomplished its triumph by a majority of just one vote. The other side were not aito- gether disconcerted at the result. They had shown their strength, which was more than re- spectable. The meeting was called to order at 2:20 o'clock, Mr. Wirt Dexter, President of the Association, in the chair. ‘The Secretary, at the request of the Chair- man, read TAG CALL, which ran as follows. Cuicaco, June 11, 1878.~7 Heary 1. Sheldon, Secretary of the Chicugo Bar dssocwation: We. Whose names are hereunto subscribed, menibers of the Chicago Bar Association, beheving that the actiou of the Association in passing the resolutions at the meeting Saturday, the 8th_inst.. relative 10 the renort of the Committce of Inquiry as to the operations of the Bankrupt law, wns unwise, and calculated to biace the Committee of Inquiry and the Assoclation in a false pasition witi the profession and the public; und, further beliey- ing that the safd action ought not to be taken as a fuil expression ot the Bar Association, ks not one- third of the members were present, request you fo call a sgcdnl meating of the Association to be held on the 15th day of June at 2p. m. to reconsider the action of the Assoclation above referred to, and to further consider and act upon said report, M.

Panbocx, o, A Molay, Gaones 0. Ive. MR. W. C. GOUDY bad aresolution. It was as follows: Resolved, That Messrs. B. F. Ayer, C. B. Law- reuce, . F. Waite, Elliott Anthoay, and Thonuas G. Frost be anpointed a committes o prepare the reasuns of the majority of ho Assoclation for i action on the repors of the Committee of Inuniry on the Bankrupt law, and that the same bo re. ported at the next rezular meeting, Judeo Henry G. Miller didn’t think the reso- Jution within the pursiew of the cail. It might cowe up afterwards, but the first busiaess was the recousidcrationof the vote sdopting the resolutions. = Mr. Goudy replied to the point of order. The meettuz was called to take action regarding the report of the Comimittee of Inguiry, and the resolution came within the meaniny of the call, as he viewed it. Mr. F. Tuley d!sugrced with Judge Miller, but thought it eminently proper to wait and see woether the gentlemen wno were in the ma- jority on the 8th fnst. were in the majority now. ey mizht be in the minority now, and " there- Iution on the table. cided, was out of order. and the Chair was sustained by a vowe of 28 to 17. Capt. 8. F. Brown moved the reconsideration the resolutions were adopted. A POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Goudy raised the point that a resolution considercd at the next meeting, whether it was must be wmade during the wmeeting when the resofutionwas adopted, unless the time for such & motion wus enlarged by a rule of the Associs- tion. (;flr. Elliott Anthony supported the point of eration in Congresa. The motion to reconsider, lie claimed, could onlv be made by one who voted with the majority. Judge Miller Delieved the Assoctation had Jaced on jts records sentiments that would estroy is life, and now an attempt was maae to stave off a reconsideration of the vote adopt- ing those sentiments by a mere parliamentary trick. He did not believe the Association con- Mr. Ayer contended that the Association’s rules meade the motlon to recomsider out of order at this juncture. Ar. W. H. King replied to Mr. Anthony’s point that none but a member who voted with the majority could move a reconsideration. This vractice, be clafmed, held only where an association adopted ft by rule. Ar. Brawley ggot up to read from Cushing on this point. & Mr. King said he was tolerably familfar with the autbior named, uud, when he had finished his remarks, the gentleman could read the whole book, if be chose. [Laughter.] He then went on tosay that be supposed the intention ot the majority was to facilitate business, but it secmed that some gentlemén were ready to thwart that object. ‘The Chair held the motfon to reconsider in order. In'soholdiug, he disclaimea any parti- san intention, and declared it ashis opinion that the association, or o majority at least, desired to nct on the main question and avold. parlia- mentary wranghing. Mr. Goudy took anotber appeal, supporting it in a long speech. Cushing himself was against the Chair and these gentlemen, who would give no reason for their opinfons. Mr. W. H. King bad a decided reason. When an associution had dne wrony it was proper to right it. {Avplause.] Mr. Goudy suid that meant just this: That an Association could go on and undo all its ncts whenever it chose. Mr. Ira O. Wilkingon referred to an instance 15 which a fine lmposed on Gen. Juckson had been remitted twenty years afterwards. |Laughter.] Mr. Goudy couldn’t see the similarity be- tween the two cases. ‘After some further exhibitions of parliament- ary learnive, the appeal was lost by a vote of 84 to 3l The Chair announced that the motion to re- cousider was before the house. Mr. Tuley moved the previous question, with the avowed object of cutting off debate. Mr. Goudy and Mr. Judd ratsed the point that Capt. Brown had not voted in the aflirmative, but the official declaration of the Secretary that he bad sovoted koocked that poiut on the bead. a’l‘g«: main guestion was ordered by s vote of 41to 9. THE VOTE. The Chair was about to put the motion to re- consider, when Judge Miller called for the ayes and noes. “Mr. H. W. Jackson called for the reading of the resolutions, and the Sccretary read them. The roll was then called ou the motion to re- consider, Messra. Larped and Whitehouse being appointed tellers. Before the vote was announced, several gen- tlemen came in and requested that thefr names be recorded. Judge Miller~No. They've sent ont and got. in n lot of people to vote. [Laughter.} Mr. Edwin Walker was one ot those who had come in, and he stood in the afsle ready to ask that #i8 vote be recorded It was iscuerally understood that he would votc in the nega- tive. Mr. E. 0. Brown—You'd better pair off, Mr. Walker, with Mr. Herrick, who has just come iu. [Réncwed laughter.] Tt now appeared that ‘the Secretary had not kept the record of the names of those voting, fore would not care to express the views of the majority. He therefore moved to lay the reso- The Chair s1id there must be an end to the business sowme time.

A motion to reconsider order, refersing to Cushiug and the rules fu op- tafned fools enough to be hoodwinked by any sucn trick, (Laughter.] Mr. B. F. Ayer asked Judge Miller whether the Association ought not to be governed by its own rules. 5 Judge Miller~Not in such an emergency as this. [Laughter.] and that the tellers, supposing he had done so, merely kept the count. After considerable skirmishing, another vote was taken. . During tne eslting of the vote, Judeo Miller objected to Mr, Walker’s votfag, for the renson that the vote being taken was for the purvose of correcting the former one. A storm of Lisses followed the statement of his objéction, and the vote was recorded. Several others came in before the vote could be auvuounced or even counted, and Mr. §. A. Goodwin asked that their votes be recorded. Judge Mitler—1t isn't fair to get people in here to vote, Mr. Goodrich thought it was; an expression of the Assoclution was what was wanted. The Cnairian’s attention was devoted at this stage to the tellers, who desired some informa- tion or other. While thus eugaged, Mr. Goudy 2ot up and called * Mr. President ” several times. The President not answering, Mr. Goudy numinated Mr. . if. King to presiie, put the motion, declared it carried, and sat down to thy accompaniment of a decidedly stbilant expres 8i0n of opimou fromn seversl or the wembers. Col. Cooper indignantly protested azainst this assumption of authority by Mr. Goudy, and some one clse yelled out, ‘¥ Who's running this meeting; the President or Mr. Goudy {7 Alr.

The snnouncement of the vote was received with a storm of applause by Mr. Hibbard's fricuds. Somebody hastily moved to adjoura, and a generul hubbub ensued. The Chairman pounded vigorously on the table and called upon the Association not to disgrace {t<elf by adjourning in such disorder. Iis brief speech brought the desired quiet. M. Goudy renewel his resolution, offered early in the meeting, providing for a setting forth of the majority’s reasons for voting u3 they did at_the lust meetiug, The motion to adopt wus lost. 5 A PROTEST. Judge Miller now took the floor to make his fioal effort at setting himself, and thuse who sgreed with him, fn the right lent. “*1t has become my painful duty,” said he, tto participate in the dlosing seeucs of this sad ceretnony. [Laughter from the anti-Hipbard people.] I have u protest which I desire to pre- gent to this Association, and I have endeavared 10 express the sentiinents it contains in courte- ous lanuage, and Lo suy nothing in it but what is obviously true.

In one of these resolutions 1t is de- clared **that the members of the Assuciation, in view of tho statements of the report, deem it proner to express their confidence in the ntegrity of Homer N. Hibbard." 1t appeared frow the report that Mr, Hibbard in the anuual report of the fees sud emoluments re- ceived by him from his ofiice as Register at Chica- g for the years 1875, 1876, aud 1877, wade under oath. and purportinz to contain & statement of the “*total amount of fees, eharges, costs, and emolu- ments of every sort_recefved or carned” by him durine said years, in(nnliunn\lfl omitted in the ng- gregate nearly 311,000, with the ovident purpose of concealing the true iimount of the receipts of bis oflice.

We bave been shown an entirely novel tool for writing, patented this spring, which, it is claimed, is the best for the purpose ever sccn. Tuuses any kind of ink, is casily filled, and holds enough for two or three days’steady writing.

When closed (being air-tight), it way be carried in the pocket. The iuk cannot leak, nald, nor dry up. and at any time when needed it i3 as ready as a lead-pencil.
