Of this amount $25,075 was for Laxes on Soirits, $3, 358 for tobaceo and cigars, and 33 for beer, Commissioner Hoyne heard another elec- tion case yesterday, but the result was harmless to all concerned. Chiris Miller was one of the de- fendunts, and Charles Dornbusch the other. The offense charzed was that Miller swore in his afli- davit to the possession of naturalization-papers when he hadn't any. and that Dornbusch _swore to the fact that Miller lived in the ward. The evi- dence showed that Miller had no earthly icea of what he #as swearing ‘to, for, after muking the afidavit, he stepped up 1o the poll, and, when ssked if he had any naturalization papers, unhesitatingly blurted ont **No." His vote was. of course, refused. Asto the affidavit of Dornbusch, it was dincovered on in- spection of that ducument thatit recited that Dorn- busch himself was o resident of the ward anda leaal voter,—facts which nobody can controvert. The whole case was therefore dismissed, and the two defendunts went out and grappled with the ]fonm’linz schooner 1 token of their joy at being re- eased.

With tears in their cycs they asserted thar they supposed the money was all right, and that they would put up the equivalent in zood money if it wasn't. T'he matter ended in their paving Will- jam 2 yood haif-dollar, and being told not to do it aguin.

They received considerable _additional light on the sub- ject yesterduy from the testimony of Cooper, 3c- Queenly, and Davoust, who were employed on tne new bullding, and who revealed the schemes in voeue under the Mueller reign in all the length, - breadth, and thickncss of tneir gemeral and - particular badness. 1t is begnning to dawn on the minds of the jurors that these things could not very well have gone on without at least the qulet winks, and perhaps the uctive collusion, of 1aose who were.supposed to be looking after the interests of the Government whoich emploved them. Three of these officials have, it is understood. already been ‘drawn futo the net, and the jury—or the best portion of ft— is lookng after other fish to fry, —Gsh swhich for- merly disported themselves in” the turbid waters s little mearer home. Whether they . will be caught or not remains to be scen. 1f. they are, it will not be because at least three well-known criminal law- ¥ers 1o this city have not done their best and their cutest to prevent the haul. It is uncenain how long the fuvestigation will runm. bat it would scem that it ought 13 close by the last of this week. In fact, it has secmed 10 some that it should have clozed by this time at the farthest, and it is further believed that jt would had it not been for the work of certain jurors who are, with ap- parently good reason, said to have been prompted 1n one way and another, by the tegal lights alinded 1o, to drair it out o indefinite lenzths in pursuance of an alleged schieme to cive the caxes of the par- ties dnder consideration a certificate of moral caracter, and, in the event of a trial of the three big fish' referred to, to -use these persons With the clean bills of health ns witnesses in therr behalf. If the Jury does its daty honestly, .such a &cheme’ must fail, Enough has aiready been shown to make oat a case 2gainst 21l the suspected people, and all the absard dilly-daitying, and 2l the impudent buildozing of Government witnesses by certain jurors who are making for themselves unenviable records in this connection, should, it is claimed, be stopped short. 1t is felt gencrally that it is time for the day of in- ;lgilm'l.:gw. nn(:xlhn Jjury cnulhd 1ot do » betier thing n fuu them in on what evidence the: have, and then—go home. - Loy CRIMJN.:&L. At 6:30 last evening en unknown man was’ Tun down by switch-engine No.148 on the Pittsbarg & Fort Wayne Rond. The accident happened on Stewart avenue, between Lumber strect and the river.

No. 24 Larra- bee street, the plunder stolen by William Holland and Johanna Tiloerg, recently lield to the Criminal Court for vurglary. The volice assert that she was an accessory to five burgluries, but therc wasa lack of evidence to that effect, and tho case was dropped, and that for receiving stolen property was made stronger in consequence.

There is evidently a mistake somewhere. After all that had been said and wrictten about the dolnys of **tarbulent tugmen ™ at Michigan City, a dispatch was received at police headquarters lust evemng which repd as follows: ** Col. Seavey, Superinteadent "0f Police: The parties are getting all right, Tell Marshal Smit! W. B, Hurciixsos, Mayor.™ Marshal Smith wasail ready to -leave yeuterdny afternoon with Capt. Napicr, Charles McCarle, and Thomas Roddy, the only three men of the crew whom he wanted, but Mc- Carle's illness prevented, and it was arranzed to leave Monday evening. Whu. he will do now is unkuown, as’he was not scen about police head- quarters after the receiptof the dispatch. It wug understood during the day that Marshal Smith had received & telegram announcing that Constable Taylor was dyinz, but it is hard to reconcile uny such aiepatch with toat received last night. Thomas Clifford, saloon-keeper at No. 134 West Harrison strect, guve a free aance in a base- ment that wos used during the campuign for po- litical meetings. Along apoat 11:330 at night, while a number of customers were standing at the bar up-stairs, three well-known thieves entered: there were plenty of other thieves present, but Mr. Clitford noticed this tr1o in particular. While ho was busy drawing ale, onc of them speaked into a room in the rear of the saloon, forced open a burean drawer, and abstracted $150 cash. Mr. Clifford had a susicion, and went to the door of the room, and was there confronted by the fellow, who made 2 dash at him with his fists, and then darted out of tae rear door, escaping with the plunder. In the morning Oflicers Muhoney and Carey, of the West Twelfth Street Station, nrrested a well- known thief named Patrick Lyons, who was fuily identified by Mr. Clifford. The fellows who put up the job will be chagrined to hear thst in the sume drawer was another puckage of S600 cash, und a gold watch and chaln. A BRAVE WOMAN. Between the hours of nudnizht and 1 oclock yes- terduy moraing tae resideuce of Martin McNicho- las, No. 46+ West Taylor street, was the scene of u desperate robbery. “Mr. McNicholas isa well- known sewer-contractor, und hns been doing consid- erable worls for the city. Friday was pay-day with such contructors, und McNicholss slong with the others presented his vouchers during the day, but owinz to some little carclessness regarding tha matter he did not wait to get his money, and con- cluded to put it off until yesterday. In the even- ing he went to the Exposition Building, The rob- bers evidently expected to find the large sum of oney due him concealed about the house, and for the purpose of securing it, it i8 snopposed that “one of the pang concesled himself in the house during the early evening hours. Birs, McNicholns was confined jaet Wednesduy, nnd was sleeping oundly at the bour mentioned, but was nwakened by 3 man’s besrd touching ber face, She rose Lastily o find 2 man with & long light beurd utooping over her, aud in the mnct of . abetractng from ntnder her pilloy a ‘pocketbook’ containing a uumber of papers and avont $150 cash. She asked in a whis- ver, *‘Is that you, Murt?" and, perceiving that 1t was not, she grabbed the fellow by his beard. le guve 8 low growl of paiu, and struck her hand down. She gradbed at him again, but he made threats to kill her if she epoke; but, nothing daunted. she held to him, and ealled out at the top of ber voice: **Grandpu, burglaral Shoot him1" until the burclar, becoing siarmed, strucz her down by a heavy blow in the breast, and then escaped by ruoning down-stairsand through adoor which he had taken the precantion to leave open. The lady rewsined unconscious, or partiully so; until the retarn of her huspand, about a half hour later, and was unable to raire an ularm. The fel- Jow had packed up about $500 worth of clothing and jewelry iu a bundle, which be had with hiw - AMrs. MeNicholas' room, but in his haste to_get out of the room he left tne plunder belind him, and took only the pocket-book and cash. COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. MEETING OF TUE CRICAGO DELEGATES. A meeting of the Chicago delegates to the Na- tional and International Commerciai Convention, which i 1o assemble at Farwell Hall Tuesday, wus held yesterday moon in the reading-rooms of the Palmer House for the purpose of arranging & programme and transacting other business of im- portance. = The meeting was callea to order by the Hon. C. B. Farwell, and the Hon. William Dross was chosen to preside, Mr. Bowen was called upon for an exprassion of views a8 to what should be done. He stated ot leneth the objects of the Convention,—which, in bhis opinion were of *‘vast and vital importanc, " — and read a considerable amount of correspondence from Governors ana Mayors in different parts of the country, and from o number of wanufucturing associations, all promising to send deleguies o the Convention, except one body in New York. While Mr. owen was going through his corre- spondence, Mr. Farwell expressed a desire to know more specifically juetwhat the Convention was for, and what it was iniended to accomplish. Mr, Bowen went on to show that the Convention was called to discuss the best measures and means 1o be undertasen by the people of the United States to improve our foreign commerce, with cs- pecial reference, tor instance, to improved facil- aties for transportation, by the establishment of more direct steamship lines’ between this country and Mexico ang Brazil. Mr. Farwell asked if it was_understood that all these things were inthe end to be done by the neral Government, or, if not, how. Mr. Bowen replied that the *Convention was to discass tnese matters ana expreee its conclusions, hie supposed, in the form of resolutions, waich mizht be presented to Conzress, althoush as to that there would proosbly be great differences of opinion amoag the delexates. Vs : Nr, dohn C. Dore thought the plan should be ! 1atd down moes particularly, i know just what would be discussed at the sessions that thev might of the Conventlon. The Chairman remarked that 1t was mcambent on “the Chicago delegntes, appointed by Mayor leath, to arrange for the receptionof outside dele- fgates on their visit to the city, #nd their entertain- ment while in attendance on the Convention. * Mr. Bowen, resuming, went on to show how' cheaply manufscturing implements, machinery, etc.. could be bourht in Chicazo, and how the lack of proper trunsportation facilities prevented the growih of her trade and 1ts advancement to the proportions which it should occupy. _He supposed the first thing to do was tuapnointa Finunce Caommitree und a committee o prepare and report 8 prozramme, and he so moved. The Chuirman suzgested that it wonld be well to defer the appointment of a Finance Committee until Monday, when another and fuller meeting could be heid. Mr. Farwell moved that the Committee which had called the Convention prepare the prosramme instead of having a committee epecially appointed for that purpose. The motion, was agreed to. On motion, tee meeting then adjourned until Monday noon, when a larger uttendance 13 expect- ed, and when something will prooably oe done. THE CHANDLER CASE. THE ARGUMENT ON THE MOTION FUR TEMPO-' RARY ALIMONY in the case of Lydia DeKalb Chandler ve. Will- iam W. Chandler came up before Judge Farwell yesterday. 2lr. Sleeper stated the object of the applica- tion, and offered to reud the bill, but the Judge said be bad read it when he made the order of ne exeat, and knew its contents. Mr. §. K. Dow apoeared as solicitor for Chand- ler, and read the afidavit of the latter. Inlt Chandler stated that all the material allegations of the bill were false, and have no in fact. Downd to the rirst 1876, ‘he savs ho supported two boys 1 comfort, and even luxuriously, considering his income. His credit was good in his neighborhood, and as long as he kept houte his wife did the ordering and purchus- ine, and bought what she chose without limit, and the bills were paid by him: and he denics utterly woat he has ever faled to provide for his wife and family properly. Ile has been cblized, as manager of the **Umon'Star Line, " to work from tweive to cizhicen hours a dav, and bas had no time to de- vote to licentious pleasures, und be denies that he lns spent his time in such waw The cause of his trouble, he thinks, is the jealonsy, high temper, and strong will "of Ius “wife, and during his married fife be bhas mever known her to admit . that she was in the wrong. ‘The difticulty has aleo been greatly aggravated by the conduct of her relatives, who have sought to maie mischicf, and who have wrought her up until she has at times charzed him with all sorts of crimes. On tae 18t day of January, 1876, he gave Berasilk dress costing at wholesale prices over $100; but, instead of thanking him, she became angry, made several accusations aguinst him. and said, ** You are not prompted by love to do this, but by fear; you know I could have you discharzed from "your position any day; you kuow I could send you Lo the Penitentiary if I chose to do 50.” She wlso - charged that her il health was owing (0 him. On_this account, feeling that he could not longer endare such bicKerings, and feel- ing it would be better for both, be left his wife, leaving ner all the pronerty he had in the world except his clothes, Besides paying the $100 a montl to his wife, he hus paid his_younger boy’s bourd and_other expenses. The older boy is able toand is earning his own living. In September Iast he refused to pay her any more mouney, as she had roken her vrouiise not to speak evil of him, and had beea traducing and slandering him. Af- ter the bill was filed, in which she stated under oath that he wus willing to retarn - and live with bim, HE SENT HER A LETTER, dated Nov. 6, by R. C. Meldrum, otfering hera home, and promising to send a carrizge thé next day if she would accept the offer. ‘The letter wus read to her by Mr. Meidrum, and Mrs. Chandler accepted the propoeition. ‘The carrisge way sent the next morming (Friduy last), when she refused to go with hun, saying she was not well enough then, and did not know when she would be; that ehe had promised her lawyers she would uot do anything withiout cousulting them. 1llc tried to changze her resolution, but without success, and was obliged to leave her, and xo buck slone. % The letter above referred to of Nov. 6 from Chendler to his wife was also read b{ Mr. Dow. It is very finely written, and evidently hud u atrong effect on the Judge. In 1t Chandler draws a patiietic picture of his condition, of the pleasures of lns married life: he promises to care for his wife sgumn, to overlook and forgive past errors; refers feelingly to their comfortacle home, to her cruel sccusations, and_of his efforts to reconaile their disazreements, He #ays he employed per- sons to see and talk with herand her family, and promisced that he would do whatever he thoaght ouzht to be dome. His attorney worked at the case seventeen days to effect & reconciliation, but was obliged to give it up, declining to make mry further effort, unless Mrs. Coandler's wother, brothers, aed sisters-in-law should first leave the house. e recalied to her attention that he had also employed his brotaer. the lon. John A. Chandler, to efiect a reconciliation, but in- citectually: that he hud since the suparation spent over $5,000 on her and her children, while she had taoght his boys tocall him **Old Chandler" ana in other ways speak disrespectfally of him. e then offers to give her & home where they can live together alone; that tneir sons were, by his edorts in great part, well avle tv support themselves, and fight the battle of life, and neither would the parenis be a burden to the children nor the children to the parents. He thinks he is likely to lose his place, and therefore cannot promise more than & humble home, and cannot do anything else for a living. He says he cannot take to lecturing, even tho the ** power of the press,™ which has published the scandal **with startling headlines and sensational headlines in varied type," has made him **sufliciently infamous,” becaose the scandal was not sulliciently larze. He then asks her to forget the *‘late unpleasantne w join bim in contriouting to the support of the **united firm," and enjoy -*toils, strugeles, and sorrows’ together, if their former’ affection ‘should not re- turn. In another exbibit atached’to this offi- aavit, Chandler showed that since the 1st of January. 1876, and up to the 1st of Aucustlast, he had speat nearly $6,000 on his wife and family, that he had paid their board, given tnem money. 'and alxo costiy presents. ME. DOW then went on to argue that Mrs. Chandler's allega- tious were entirely denied by the affidavit of Chisn- dler, aud that it was shown by the vonchens which he had in court and offered to out in evidence, that Chandlcr Ead even lavishly provided for hs family. Counsel charged that tne letters that were said to incriminate Chanaler had been burned, be. cause Murray, the Secretary of the River- sude Improvement Compsny, and the mutua] {riend in whose hnnds they had been placed, had been showinir them to Tom,” Dick, and Harry, and even endeavoring to blackmail Mrs. Mosher. He enid that the wreat trouole in the case now was be- cuuse Chandler would not consent 10 paying his wife's'Tawyer for his services. . MR, SLEEPER then took up the argument, and began_criticising. Chandler’s afiidavit and letter. He charged that Chandler had not, by bhis general denial of the charges of the bili, denicd that he had committed adultery, time and time again; that there were dumning letters in existence which would prove it compietely. It was not deuled tiat he had deserted bis wife, and that he was not supporting her now. His offer to 1ake his wifc toa home He bad prepared, even if bona fide, which it was not, was too indefinite to be uccepted. When Mrs. Chandler asked him where e home waa he had prepared he refused to tell her, and ebe was justitied in declining to Fid with him on sucha vaeue offer. JUDGE FARWELL said he was_in doubt whether a party who was en- utled to a divorce could waive that nght, and live apart from her husband and have a separate maim- tenance. He wished 1o scesome authoritics on that pomnt. Chanaler bad promised to support his wife, and [t was an uncertsin question whether #he would have the right to make hum support her, and vet not live with bim nor get u divorce. But, if she was intendiug 1o accept nis offer, she had 4 right to know where the house was he had provided for her, and to examine it first if she chuse. The Jdudge therefore declined to make any order in the case at present. Hesaid he wished to sec if the negotiations toward reconciliation were made by Chandler in zood faith, and whether they were ac- cepted. e wished 1o give both partics a chance to consider the matter o little. COURT-HOUSE BONDS. THE NEXT STEP. No further returns huve been received from the missing precincts on the Court-House bond ques- tion, but there is no reason to change the conclu- sion previously stated, —that the proposition has been defented. There Is a story in circulation to the effect that in a few precincts the Judges, throuzfi blunders or through opposizion to the bouds, counted all those Republican tickets where both ‘‘For™ and ‘*Against™ the bonds were printed, and where neithor was. ecratched off, as Yotes «against the bonds, while, of course, they should bave been considered blank., Some of the {riends of the measurc have faint hopes that the vote will be s0 close on the ofticial count that, if the judges sctually did count these blanks 28 nesinst the measure, lheiv may be able to show that the proposition act- ually carried. So, after the official result 18 an- uounced, which will probatily be Wednesday, thoy will, if the result is against them, resort to the conrts to sec what they can do. _ According to law, five electdrs must unite in a petition, which Is fled in the Circuit Court, praying for an examination and decision of the question. 'The county will be made defendant, and the Coart will zo on and cx- amine the macter. All the bailots will be reconnt- ed, und, if i uny case the judwes have credited the newative with more votes than 1t uctually got, théy will be cast out. From a rough glance at the returns, however, it does not secin tnat -this nas been done jo any vrecinct, —certainly not to any conriderable extent. The point has also been raised that, even had the proposition for the isene of the honds been carried, the matter would Lave been void, indamuch 83 the resolution of the County Board suomitting the question Lo the electors was not pasaed thirty days vrior to the time of holding tae election. 1t does not appeur, however, that this is necessary, or that 1t 18 required by tfie law. . Notice of & general election has 1o be mven thirty days in advance,’ but. accordine to the opin: fons of lawyers who have pald special attention to these mitters, It i3 not necessary that the vnb- mission of the bondd suomid be 1ncluded in thac foundation notice, provided always that the electors are ad. vised of the proposed submission ; reasonavle time prior to holaing un clection. The unquestioned fact, however, of the defeat of the uonds does away with the necessity of going iuto law points abodt the matter. e e A CARD. LouisviLLg, Oct. 5, 1878.—1, 0. P.
