The recovery of . the securitics stolen from the Lechmere Bank, of Cowmbridge, Mase.. and the refusal of the Boston detective who turned them over to the bank officers to tell from whom he got them, have provoked some speculation on the part of the Boston papere, and the theory is ad- vauced that the bonds, etc., wero procured 1n Chi- cago, the robbery having heen committed, it is sup- sed, Dby thieves who live in this city.

The motion for new trial in the mandamus case of **Juck " Sturges vs. The Board of Trade came up yesterday afternoon before Judze Rogers. Mr. Dent, on behalf of the Board of Trade, spoko over two honrs lu support of the motion, urging several ressons for the new trial, und quoting o number of suthorities. Judge Kogers, withont walting for arguments from the other side, then overruled the motion, and rendered jndgment in favor of Sturgee. Defendant’s counsel then made & motion to dis- miss the petition non obstante ver edicto: also o molion in arrest of judgment, both of which were overruled. On motion of Judge Beckwith, the pleadings were amended so as to make the form of the case technically correct. Le also entered a remittitur %10 the one cent damages and Costs, and only 100k judgment for o petemptory writ of man- damus, r. Dent prayed an appeal. Mr. Pratt, on Uehalf of Sturges, suggested that, under the statute. the writ should issue at once. Judge Beckwith urged that as in mouey judg- ments the Judze had a discretion in fixivy thie terms of an nppeal, the smount of the bond, etc., so in other cuses not for money he had a diserction, and would, for instance, al- Jow an appesl in the present instance, on condition that Sturges shonld in tne meantime be allowed to go back on the Board. e hud won his case and ongnt not to be debsrred from his privilezes because an appeal was taken. Jndge Rodgers said he did not think he had any such discretion, and if he had he did not feel like exercising it He would, therefore, allow the p- veal ou giving bond, which woull amount 0 8 Eupersedens. “After some aiscussion, the bond was fixed at $5,000, and will be filed to-day, This leaves Sturges the winner of o barren vie- tory, as onc of his counsel said, for he cannot in- dulgge 11 any more corners on the loxrid uutil after the decision of his cuse by the Supreme Court.

JUDGE WILLIAMS DECLINES TO RUN IT. A wotion wis mnde yesterday morning before Judge Wiliams In the case of Broadway ve. D. W. Stone & Co., owners of Stone's Circus, for the appointment of a Recelver. Mr, IL 1. Anderson stated the object of the motion, and asked that o Receiver be apvointed. . Mr. George F. White abpeared for the mortgagee and objected to the motion beeause all the parties were not fu court, not baving been served with process, Judge Wiliams said that if the partics had been notifled of the motion a court would not wait until service of other procees. Mr. White said he not ready for argument; Te hnd sent un ulidavit to the morf e, who re- slded in New York, to be signed and retnrned, and she had not sent it back. Guou. Eldridge sppeared for the circus owners, the mortgugors, and stated that on the I12th inst. o petition was dled by D. W. Stone & Co., in New York, and a rule was issued againstone of the par- ties who was out West, which rule was returnable June 29. They would then undoubtedly be ndju- dicated bankrupt, and the Bankrupt Court would take jurisdiction from June 12, and any proceea- ings in Chicogo would be of ‘no use and only cuuse expense. The property was in the hanas of the mortgagee and way being taken care of, and nobody else could do auy better. 1f Stone & Co. were dicated, the sttachment procecdings would fail utterly. Mr. Anderson then proceeded to state the con- tents of the bill, and cluimed that the circus prop- crty was perishable, and must be sold at once dur- iflf the circus seuson, in order to realize its full value. Gen. Edwards objocted to the bill a8 not the proper mode of determining the questions between the parties, If there was a dispute about the own- crship of the property, the way to determine it was iu tne County Court under the statutes. Mr. C. W. Constantine, one of the attorneys for the complainants, said there was no provision i the statute which sllowed the Sheriff tosell the property before tinal judzment in the attachment suits. That would be sometime, and 1n the mean- time the berforming horses would fose their value from want of training and cal their heads off for their keeping, and the tent would mildew. e then read the afiidavit of John B. Jetfery, business msnaver of the Journal job-oflice, 1o the effect thiat ho had given Stone’s Circus credit on the sup- position that Stone & Co. owned the vrop- erty without incumbrance, and that its value was rapidly deterioratung. The atlldavit of Robert T. Stckuey, a performer in the circus, was also read, in which he deposed that the property was worth 20,000, and that Stone & Co., when they sct ont on their tour, represented that they ownes the property withoat ucumbrance. Mr. Anderson arggued thatthe complainants were the real owners of the properiy. Their liens smounted to $7,500, and the defendants, having subjected themselves to the jurisdiction of the Banxruptey Court, should not be heard here. Mr. White offered to read some aflidavits. Judge Willfams declined to heur them. He said that he dd not propose Lo bear the case then. It was a very tempting provosition to the Court to ap- point a Keceiver. Buthe had from time to time been called on to run pretty nearly everything that could be run in the city escept a house of prostitution, but had not as yet had much fun ont of any of them. If he could now only run a circas, soasto kecp the horses (n traininy and give his professionsl brethren some occupation, {t would os grond. mood thivg. Batserionsly the fens doncy of courts had been to appoint Reccivers for everything. Every deparument of fudustry was be- ing ran by conrts; ruilroads, bauks, theatre manufactories, atl came into thetr hands, and was not in favor of e¢xercising such powers save in extreme cases. It mizht be proper to appoint a Re- ceiver tn toe present case, but he would not d¢o it at the present time, nor until the defendants hua a better n{mormnll)‘ to be heard. ‘The complainants had their attachment liens, and if they were noL divested of those heus they would be protected. Whether they bad prior claims over the mortgagee would be determined afterward, but in either cuze thev did not need the immediate aid of the Court to preserve their rights. The borses wonld have to be without training unless the Sherift trained them, and there would be the same trouble 2f » Receiver had charge of thew. He was in favor of waitiug nntl the defendants filed their answer, and until after something more definite was known of the baukraptey proceedinzs. He dia not wish to appolnt a Necelver when there wus euch o likelhood thst a Bankruptey Court might divest him of all control atany time. On the other hand, it was very cer- tain the horses, etc., could not be kept until the attachment suits were disposed of. a3 they would in the meantime cat themselves up in costs. ile also wishied to be sure that complainants repre- wented the majority of the parties interested, und that the bankrupicy wroceedings were pressed in oo faith, before making any order. ‘The Judge then overruled the motion for Re- ceiver now, but withont prejudice to havinz the upplicationrenewed after the answer was fled, e alzo said e would not require un nuswer to be filed until after June 29, the return-duy of the rule 1n the baukruptey proceedings in New York. CORRESPONDENCE. NO HELP. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, June 1 We who live in the block ‘bounded by Madison, Weshington. Throop, and Ada streets arc in trouble, the cause of which is as follows: Fate, co-operating with and nssisted by the God of Confusion, who makes us an apnual visit May 1, brought to our hitherto quiet and orderly community this year some people who scem to consider it their especial right and privilege to test the religion and patience of the entire neighbor- hood. Last night was tho worst of all. A crowd of men and women (asvurcdly not ladics and gen- tlemen) nssembled in the parlors of & hoase in our block, the exact locatiou of which is at present un- necesuary, and proceeded to freat us to un enter- teinment Iiken 11 unto which Bedlamn must seem as Taradise, They gave us colleze songs, ylees, ser- enades, Moody and Sankey hymns, and an oc sional comic Irish picce, all in the most horrinle wmanner imaginable.

T doubt if there i3 a saloon in the city that would tolerate such a racket for ive minntes, and yet we were obliged to endure it for nearly three hours. Is there any recourse for us through the police force? If not, will some resident of our bloek suggest some way of ridding aurselves of this out- Tageous nuisancey 'SE DerENDO." The correspondent’s indignation fs pardonable, even thouzh based on a mistake.. It was nndoubt- edly the first time he had ever heard a parlor con- cert, for that is the technical name of the riot he refers to. These things arc.indeed fnventions of the Enciny, for the purpose of tormenting man; but, in the present low state of civilization, there £eeme uo way of stopping them except by hirmg o skilled pianist to move futo the neigliborhood, who, when the rucket bezins, will strike up one of Lecthoven's ops, or one of Wagmer's nowlers.

VERNON, IlL, June 14.—The term of the Supreme Court held at this quict and beautiful pluce has practically come to a close. Last year, although the Court had taken for decision all the cases that it could determine of those pend- ing, over 140 were left continued to this year. 1f the Appellate Courts had not been orgaunized at least 125 new cases would,have been added to its docket by this time.

THE SIXTEESTU WARD REPUBLICAN CLCR 4 wil meet Tuesday eventng at Myers Ial, corner Sedgwick and Stewel- PHE dvisians, it will take nearly four years for the Supreme Court to caten up, and cases taken to that Court will rest ou its docket two years be- fore they can be reached, unless they involve questious whose decision i8 necessary to the ad- ministration of State governnent, or are other- wise of such pubfic importance that atl private fnterests ought of rignt to yield to them. For instance, in the City of East St. Louis there are two sets of Aldermen aud two Mayors. The question_is, what law of incorporation is in force. One set is Jawfully in offica; the other ucither de facto nor de jure. Each attempts to nullify the ucts of the other. Justices fine und imprison for breach of the ordinances of one or the other as they think best; the people are in doubt_and apprehension, and muuicipal govern- ment for public interests is not only suspended, but itsadministration is a constaut menaceto the public peace. The cases which will restore loeal State covernment in place of anarchy were advanced. So, too, the Chicago scrip cases. It was shown that by suspension of the functions of Clueazo by the fire i 1371 and the strike in 1877 the busiuess of the State was paralyzed; that during such suspeusion agriculture, for want of market, gave noreturns; that the lawful administration of* revenues for locul State government four times as great as the entire annual taxation for State reveaue required fmmediate Qecision, suu if Chicazo had to stop for want of means all private inter- ests in the State would have tostop till she suould start again; so the Court laid aside private controversies und took up those on which the lawful administration of government depend. The Judees are diligent. At 8a.m. sharp they enter the court or conference, and work till after noon; 8t 2 p. m. to 6, and 8 to 10 they are towether at work, besides eacn Judge having to do one to two hours’ work a day separate, being from ten 1o twelve hoursa day cluse personal Iabor for six days in the week.

The Judzes of the Supreme Court do_nearly or quite three times the work of any other Judges in the State, and have to support themselves away from home 1more than one-third of the year upon a salary of $5,000. 1t would appear better if the offices of the highest dignity and greatest labor were paid as well us their inferiors.
