Their Tawless Removal from Home— Seizure of Their Property. A-Tale of Hardship and Death---Stand- ing Bear’s Return. The Habeas Corpus Proceedings and Their Result. A New Suit and What It Is Hoped to Accomplish by It, A Meeting to Be Held at Parwell Hall : To-Morrow Evening. ‘The attention of the public is urgently invited to the following call: Inthe celebrated babeas corpus case, recently tried before Jedge Dandy in Omaha, an Indian, for the first time in history, was recognized a8 having astanding in the Courts. Many eminent Jawyers and citizens believe that a successtul test case may be carried to the Supreme Conrt of the United States, by a suit to resiore the Poncas, & friendly tribe, to their reservation, from which, it ts alleged, they were removed against their con- sent. If this can be done, it setties the principle that an Indian is a person, entitled to the protec- thon of the laws, and that, instead of going 10 war, he can gain his rights and secure justice by process of the Courte. A decision of this sort will change the whole aspect of the Indian question. It will at once take it ont of the conditions in which it has £0 long been a menace to our peace and'a disgrace toonr civihzation. In furtherance of this object, tne undersigned unite in, calling a public meeting of the citizens of Chicago, to be held at Farwell Dall Rvuday, June 3, 1874, to be addressed by T. U.

T. H, TIBBLE of the Omabs Hera’d, a gentleman who took a deep inte.est in the wrongs of these Indians, * and who started the movement whick led to their release on habeas corpus, Mr. Tibbles isa geotleman well known through Nebraska, hav- ing been connected with the Omaha press for many years, andcomes to this city with the strongest letters of indorsement from the Mayor of that city, and from Gen. Crook, command- ing the military district. a “] wish,” said the reporter to him, “that vou would tell me concisely, beginning at the begin- ning, the facts connected with the removal of the Ponca Indians, concerning which I see you are going to speak at Farwell Hall Monday night.” é “This tribe of Indians occupied s reservation of about 160,000 acres of land in Dakota, be- tween the Missouri River and the Niobrara, which separates Dakots from Nebraska. it was far- ‘ther advanced in civilization than any other on the plains except the Omabas. They lived in good houses, were generally dressed in citizen’s clothes, and had schools, which were largely at- tended, and churches, They were a quict. peaceable community, and had always been fmendiy with the whites—specially so; and were rewarded for being so in the special treaty made with them by which they were given some lan@ they wanted. They had never been charged on. any occasion with ‘haying killed awhite man. or taking any property of the whites, “THE FIRST THAT THEY HEARD anything about this business was in the spring of 1876. They went to church as usual on Sun- day,, and. after the missionary had gotten tnrough talking’ to them, he.said he had some bad news for them; he heard that they were to _ move to the Indian Territory. "As soon as sery- ices were over they sent out runners to call the tribe together, and when they had assembled they asked the: missionary what it all meant. He said he couldn't state anything farther than ‘the mere fact that he had heard that they were to ‘go. Things remained in this condition for some time, -until three © persons appeared on ‘the scene. They were E. C. Kemble, Indian Inspector; James Law- rence,. United States Indian Agent; and S. D. Hinmav. They came to the Agency and called scouncil, at which they told the Indians ‘that the President had issued an order for them to be removed to the Indian Territory. They im- mediately protested, and said they would not zo; theland on which they were Hving was theirs; they had never sold it; it had been deeded to them by the Government; they had always kept their treaties with the Government, and they did not want to give up their farms or sci] them, or to go to the Indian Territory; they bid good farms where they were, doing well and living well. These three men still insisted that they. must go;. the President had given the order, and it must not be disobeyed. They cailed another council for the purpose of srranging with them to give up their Jands, but. the [naians refused to attend f, and would have nothing to do with it. These three men staid at the Agency quite.a while, and all the time kept. ‘urging these chiefs and trying to cet some sort of an agreement out of them to go to the In- dian Territors. Finally, they made A PROPOSITION OF THIs SORT, after worrying them a great deal, and having irightened them with tne idea of leaving: That if they would send their chiefs to the Indian Territory they could see the land, which was- better than theirs, and if, after inspecting it, they did not want to stay there, they could come bat and that would be the end of it:-The sgent said they would not ask them to stay if they didn’t want to. £: “To this the Indians‘ consented, and sent their chiefs to the Indian Territory, accom- panied by these three men. When they got there, they saw the land. the number ofsick people, and the condition of the other tribes that had been moved there, and absolutely re- fased to recommend to their: tribe to go down there and giveup their Dakota Iands. Then these three men took them .to the.eouthwest partofthe Indjan Territory, ang still they re- fused. Finally, the chiefs were told that they had tocome,—that the President had issued such an order, and it must be obeyed; they could not help themeelyes, and they might as well select these lands then as at another time. This they absolutely refused to do, Then they were informed that if they didn’t select land they would LEAVE THEM THER! TO STARVE, 2nd wouldn’t take them back. standing Bear told them in the council there that it would be better for ten to die than the whole tribe;. that, rather than t9 recommend that the tribe go down there, the ten’ who had gone should stay there and'die. These fellows went out, slam- ming the door, end said, “You cap stay and die”? Then the chiefs sent the interpreter to them, who told them if they wouldn’t take them back home to give them the money to pay their way. The white men said they would not give a cent. Then the interpreter was sent again, and asked them if they would not give them the money to take them back, would they not at least give them a paper to show to the whites whom they met on their way back to the effect that they were not vagabonds or thievish Indians? ‘They. refused that, saying that the chiefs should die there nuless they agreed to remove to the south. . Of these Chiefs one was blind and snother decrepid and anable towalk. Stunding Bear said to them, “You go in the room where those men are, and when they go out you vo with them and get in the wagon or cars with them, anddo not leave them or allow them to get out of your sight until you get back home. It is your ony chance for. life. As for us, we will foot it.” This the two chiefs did. “As. for the others, they started from- the’ southwest cotner. of the Territory. and traveled on foot without ‘a cent of monsy or any’ provisions. They went for days over a rough, rocky country, and their moccasins were coon wornout; ~ THEIR FEET WERE CUT AND SWELLED Up.to twice their usual size; they had nothing to live on but raw corn. They went on in that- way, growing weaker and weaker, until they could not make more than five’ or six miles a day. nally they reached the Otoe Agency almost dead and ina wretched condition. After they got there they found that Kemble had sent word to the Agent -that if they should - touch there on their way back to drive them off, and not let them have’ anything to eat, for they were . bad and __rebellious indfans, and should have no assistance. The Agent,- when he saw their desperate condi- tion and_ their. bleeding feet, ssid to them. “I will give you something. to eat anyhow, and talk. with you after- wards.” Next morning he went to them, and they told him what had been done. Then the Agent sent a ‘telezram to Washington to the Comunissioner of Indian affairs, stating the con- ition of the Indians were in; and bow they bad been treated. He didn’t, think.the Commis- sioner would. sanction such a thing. The Otve Indians gave them ponies, and they went onto the Omaha Agency. --Many of the Omaha In- dians can read ‘and write, and from there a telegram was sent to the President, also a letter written. ‘These, of course, went ‘to the Indian Department. from this vvint. the chiefs weot to their reservation again. . “ABOUT THIS TIME, WHITE EAGLE, seeing be could not help himself, sold thirty-six. horses at the best prices he could get, and hired alawyer, who went to Washington and appeal- ed to the Department in every way possible to prevent the removal of the tribe. He sent back word to White Kagle that he “couldn’t do any-_ thing except that he had gotten them to agree = to_—treat the . Indians well while they were going south. ‘Then the soldiers appeared upon the reservation. ‘They got therein this way: When the Indian Ring want them, they send a telegram to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the effect that the Indians are rebellious-and dangerous, and troops are wanted, : ‘he Commissioner re- fers this to the Secretary of the Interior, who sends it to the Secretary of War, who gives the order to the General of the Arms, from whom it passes through Geu. Sheridan down to'the com- mander of the department, and the troops are sent. None cf the military officers are respon-" sible for these thing. Thus the Ring get the troops out ‘there to hold up the Indians’ hands while they rifle their pockets, to the dis- gust of the army, which is constantly used in that way. When the Indian Agent got there they had an interpreter from the Omaha tribe, who was an educated Indian, and not in the interest of these three individuals; so they dis- chargea him .and took another, a half-breed, who could not read or write. All the commu- nication, of .course, that the Indians coulda have with them. ‘was through this inter- preter, und he told them what he pleased. This interpreter went . to. .the reserva- tion and said the soldiers had come from the President to. make war on them. - This frightened the women and children half to death. He said that ther had got togoto the Indian Territort, or: they would be killed. Then the undertook tohold auother council, at whicl they still persisted that they would not sell; their lands, or give them up, or consent to go- ing South. * FINALLY, THEY SENT AGAIN FOR WHITE EAGLE and his chiefs to hold a council.’ Another man went there and talked to them kindly, saying he was sorry, but: this order had been given and they must go, and couldn’t helv it. After the close of this council, White Eagle called’ his men around him and said: ‘f£ und you other chiefs have been fighting to save your houses and lands, und we have failed. ‘they are going to take everything that we have, and drive us down there, where we will die. Now we will resieu our chieftainships, and you can appoiut others, if you think anybody can save you.’ ‘The. Indians pulled their blankets over their neads, und said nota word. He said there were only two courses to pursuc. One was to sub- mit and goto the, Indian Territory and die of fever and sickness,. und the other was to rally and- undertake to defend their homes. If ‘they did, they would all be kilicd; but perhaps that would be better than to die of fever. When people looked oo their graves they would say they died fighting for their rights. The Indians still refused to make: any reply. Then the Indiana went back across the river to. the Agency. The soldiers had gathered all the women and children together and had them under guard. They told them they had to march the next morning. Then White Eagle went where the troops were in line and brought the original treaties made by the United States with this tribe ceding to them the land,—treaties with the Government’s’ seals upon them,—and showed them to the communding officers, and said, ‘Read them. The gave us this land for- ever. We-haye not violated these treaties nor sold this land. It is ours. See if this is not so.” The officer read the treaties and handed them back, saying, ‘ What you say is true, but I. am simply a soldier, and bave orders to take you to the Indian Territory, which J must obey.’ 80 OFP THEY WENT. They got to the Territory about the middle of the summer of isi?. which they were located they reached about the middie of last July, ana right * by, “the side of that Agency were 110 graves. Twen- ty-four families have become extiuct, aud of many other families but one or two-are left. ‘The chiefs then went to Washingtop aud un- dertook to nave this righted, but could nut do anything. On the 2d of last January Standing Bear, a Calef of great natural abilities, honesty, and integrity of.character, took thirty of his people—relatives and those nearest him—and ran away from the Avency. Ten were sick when they started. He brouzht them away 60 as to save the lives of the women and children. it took ten weeks: to make the journey to the Omaha Agency in midwinter. “They suffered almost unheard-of torments trom , ccld, hunger, aud sickness. During their jour- ney, however, they touched nothing beloaging toany white man. When they arrived, the agent of the Omabas telegraphed to Washington -that these Poncas had reached there. The Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs asked the Secretary of the Joterior to retura them to the Inafan ‘lerri- tory... This went through the regular routiae, and finally reached ‘Gen. Crook, 0 detailed soldiers to take:.them back to the Indian ‘Territory. The Indians got to Omaha about the Ist of April, and there they held acouncil with Gen. Crooix, at which Staud- ing Bear said to him: ‘I never committed a crime in my life. 1 was aracsted when I was at work. I bave never done any wrong. Does your. jaw do that? I belizyed it didnot. I went to work and ” : LAID THE MATTER BEFORE MESSRS. POPPLE- TON AND WEBSTER, leading lawyers of the State, who generously undertook to conduct the case without fee. It was brought finally before Judge Dundy, who heard the case, and the prisoners were discharged. ‘lhere’ was an appeal taken . by the Government to: the Cireuit Court. In all cases ot habeas corpus where -white men arc parties and the prisoner is discharged and an appeal taken, they take his personal - recognizance for ap ice. The Government could not in this case take the per- sonal recognizabces of the Indians without acknowledging their personality, ‘The Habeas Corpus act says: ‘Any person who is Mlegally confined” or restrained of his liberty, or im- prisoned.? They held that‘an Indian was not a person. So no bond was taken for their appear- ance at the Circuit Court. When the matier came up befcre Judge Miller for trial, the first question he asked was, ‘Where are the prisoners? The District-Attorney informed him that ther were discharged and had’ gone North, and be dian’ know. where they were. ‘The Judge told bim it seemed to him that he hsd no case. The writ of habeas corpus was for the purpose of releasing somebody illegally-re- strained of Iberty, but nobody was ‘restrained in this case, and he didn’t see what the District- Attorney had to do there. The Government would sooner; let thirty Indians go at tiberty than recognize the personality of an Indian. “STANDING BEAR has thirty people with him. There are eleht men, two of whom are unable to work. A large part of that party are orphans, whose families have all died, and be has taken care of them as a matter of Christian charity. He is at present located near Decatur, Neb. ‘They are working for farmers aronnd there and living in that way. a “THE: PLUNDER 7 : that there was in this operation consisted in taking all the persoual property of these In- dians.’ ‘They were allowed to take nothing with them except a light camp equipage. Many of them arc /well off They nad horses "They. have been moved - two or three times since. ‘he last place at: who! and cattle, a large amount of grain, household furniture, stoves, bedsteads and bed- ding, ahd all that sort of thing, with reapi and mowing machines, vorn-plavters, breakin plows, etc., all of which has been estimated by ‘barties living there to be worth $200,0W0. ‘These were all afterwards sold, but our attorness have never been able to find any record of a cent of it being turned over to the Government, “There wasjan appropriation made by Congress also of $40,000. I believe, for talking them to the Indian Territory, with 2 proviso that their con- sent should be given, Of course, $25,000 of this Wasaclean steal, for it would not cost over $5,000 to take them. Shetinny , Be . “THEIR. PRESENT CONDITION in the Indian Territory ia pitiable. They are scattered around over a large tract of coun- ‘try, they are suffering from matarial fevers of ‘all sorts, and have no treatment. ‘They cau only lie there and burn up with fever during these hot days, without s cup of cold water. ‘The mortality in that tribe since their removal. is greater than tbut among our troops in Auder- sonville, or of any of our regiments in the late war.’ Soldiers are at present guarding them, and two of their Chiefs, Big Suake and Gahega, ‘were recently arrested and confined as prisoners in irons in Keno on account of an ex- pected escape like Standing Bear's, Their res- ervation in Dakota is still untouched, and ‘it is thought by those’eminent lawyers who have ex- amined this matter that a case can.‘be made which will return that reservation und the’ an- uuities due them under the treaties which have not becn paid for two years, and start them in, life again in their old homes. ‘The dead cannot be brought to life, but the Government might do justice to the living. he tribe is now re- duced: from 715 to a little over 400. They are still dving- every day. ‘The character of this case is such that it will cost considerable mouey to bring it to trial. ‘Che reservation is Dakota, while the Indians are far away in the Indian Territory. But if a case of this kind can be brought, and a decisiou obtained, recognizing Indian titles to laud and the personality of the Indians, and their right to go into a'court for protection, it is the opinion of all wio-have examined this question with any thoroughness that it will put an absolute end to all todian wars. ‘The Indians do not go to war uuless they are driven to it. 2 ae . {THIS INDIAN RING s is one of the vastest combinations ever formed in tais couotry. Seven million dollars are ap-° propriated by Congress every year in clean money. ‘Then there are the traderships, which’ bring in a larger revenue to the ring than that. They hold thatan Indian cannot make a con- tract of any sort; that he canoot buy anything from or sell.anything to a white man. Take the case of atribe partly civilized, and. raising larze quantities of wheat and grain. ‘They cannot, under -the law, sell this to apy ono except a trader. - There is no competi- tion, A.trader cao buy it. for what be basa mind to pay for it, and he neyer pays in money, but always in goods at whatever price he chooses to put-upon ‘them. So every Indian tribe is, under this present policy, absolutelyat the merey.of the trader, without any protection whatever, unless there is an appeal to the toma- hawk and the scalpiny-knife.. It gives meo.an opportunity to rob without fear of punishment. it offers a temptation to meu who go there with the best intentions, but whovare unable to resist the pressure which is brought to bear upon them. 2a “SOME. TIME IN MAY LAST _ : I sent Joseph La Flesch, an Omaba Indian, and’ his daughter to the Indian Territory to investi- gate the condition of the tribe there. Khe- tha-ska (White Eayle), the head Chief, sent to me by them a letter with a detailed statement of the whole affair... Somie passagés in ts let- ter are as eloquoct as the historic speech of Logan.

Cutcago, Jtine '25.—There is nothing shows more clearly the wealiness, and at the same time the selfishness fdf-the men claiming to be teadera in the Democratic party, than the dis- ‘sensions produced by them in the ward clubs in seeking indorsements for official employments. Tosuch an: extent: bas disorganization been produced through this causes that there already exist. in many wards 2 number of clubs orzan- ized since the : Mayoral election, and made up for the most part.“of members who have been expelled from the older clubs for their opposi- tion to’ men: ‘eccking these indorements. In nonc of the wards bave these expulsions been so great in number.as in the Fourteenth, where since the Judicial election the names of-no less than eleven of the most prominent and respected Democrats of the ward have been ‘erased or withdrawn from the membership roll of the old club, and there are now injexistence three cluos where formerly there was. but one, each totally ignoring: the others, and each claiming to be the representative club of the ward. . BERMAN GresE. Soul and Spirit Matter. To the Editor af The Tribune. “- Lass Forest, Lake Co., Il., June 28—In to-day’s Trimune “Transcendent” says: Our’ strongest telescopes and.microscopes are alike inadequate to discover even a vestige or a par- ticle ‘of soul ‘or spirit.matter.. The soul or ‘| spirit, then, cannot possibly be material.” His inference, evidently, is that spirit cannot be ma- terial because it cannot be seen. The same ar- gument would prove that there is no such thing as the air we breathe, for no one. ever saw it. ‘The very word “spirit” suggests, and original- ly meant, breath, air. He then goes on to say. that spirit, not-being material, cannot exist. That it is not even conceivable, because it has no body, form, weight. tengibility. Has this thought of his a Roman nose? Does it weigh abundred pounds? Does it teel soft to the touch Jan be cook a slice of it?’ ‘* Transcend- ent”? has transcended all rules of logic and jpmped to an unwarranted conelusion. jalaam’s four-lezged counselor was wiser in his day than-“ this same learned Theban.””- ‘There ate more things in heaven and earth than are. dreamt of in his “ philosophy.” ‘ET. Bryant Block. To the Editor of The Tribune, 2 Cutoaco, June 23.—Having noticed in Toe Trrsone for -seyeral’ days past various com- plaints respecting the. management of Bryant Block, 1 wish to state to the public that I no longer have. anv contro} over the building; it is now, and has been for about two years, in the, bunds of ttenry P. Isham, Receiver of the Court, and if the c¢mplaints’ made that the butld- ing is so managed as to bea gross viola- tion of the laws and good morals, the people should Imow upon whom to attach the blame. The Receiver has full knowledge. of the character of bis tenants, for [ -have per-. sonally remonstrated with him recently respect-" ing this feature of his’ management. The janitor, who is also Mr. Ishain’s tenant for the three upper floors, said, in reply to my remon- strance, that he could not’ be expected to keep a different class of tenants on his floors, other. than those under the imnrediate charge of the Receiver'on the floors below. 1 also emphatic- ally. called. their attention to the ‘fact that, unless the evil was completely remedied, I should submit,the matter to theGrand Jury. aint eee as J. M. Bryant, . Personal Property Assessments. -_.. |, To the Editor of The Tribune. Cuicaco, June 23.—Messrs. Field, Letter & Co. complain that their’ personal property is’ valued by the Assessor at one million of dollars. The West Division Railway. are aggrieved that. their horses are assessed at $30 and their cars at $250 each: The West Division Gas Company: are quite sure their property is valued at more than it ought to be. * a fo The law requires the Assessor to assess all’ propérty at its fair cash value. Noueof the par- ties mentioned will insist that their personal Property is not actually worth the sum at which the Assessor bas placed it, but they claim that relatively they are assessed too hich. Such is not the case, “The personal ‘ property they own fequires large expenditures on the part of. the. Dublic for its protection, and it should bear its” full share of the public burdens. Unimproved: real property, lying away from. rewerage, water, Eas, aud street-improvements costs the public.nothing, and yet in proportion toits value pays twice ‘the tax that does per- sonal property. - et Property is ordivarily assessed by the As- sessor in about the following ratto: Improved real estate at one-third; personal property at one-fourth to one-fitth;- and vacant reat estate lyme Gevond the reach :of all public improve- men, where no use canbe made of and no in- \ “ve ovtained from it,at from vne-balf to one an. + balf times its marketable value. By mar- ketame value I mean, of course, the sum in cash for which the property can upon reasonable notic and effort be sold: i If Messrs. Field o& Leiter, the West, Division Railway, or the Gas Company doubt this, let them offer to exchange the personal property they think {s relatively. assessed too high for outside lots and Jande:assessed in the aggregate at like sums, The offer would be accepted so eagerly aud so quickly, as to make them open their eyes, if they are really laboring under the delusion that their goods and chattels are about to be taxed for more thap,as compared with the property of their neighbors, they ought to’ be. For the past three yeara outside. lots and lands—that is, lands ayd lots outside of and away from all public ‘imnprovements—have been assessed. upou the averaze, for every dollar they could have been sold for. 2 Ig: there any ‘merchant, manufacturer, gas company, street railway that will take twice the assessed value of- its personal ‘proverty for the same? _ i : Fam Puay. Sabbath, Desecration> To the Editor of ‘The Tribune. Curcaao, June 28.—The desecration -of the Sabbath being a subject, much discussed by min- isters.and papers, [ desire to say a few words on this subject. Believing the Bible to be true, let us look to it for,light. Inthe second chapter of Genesis, second and third verses, we read of the institution of the Sabbath by:God, who cqm- mands to keep it holy in, Exodus, xvi, 23: xx., 83. xxiii, 12; xxxb, 18; xxxliv., 21; xxxv.,2; Leyv., xxv., 3; Deut., y.3 12; Neb., x..31;° xiif., 153 Is., lvi.; lviif., 18; Jek., xvii., 21; Ezek., xx., 1%. These texts of the ‘Old Testament should be enough to convince guy one that the Sabbath was instituted -pv God.’ ‘Christ, His Son; no- ¢where in the New Testament suggests a change, but consccrated-and observed the day appointed by His Father. Even thé Avosties entered into the'senagogues und preathed on the Sabbath- Day aud observed it. : Yet the Christian Churéh—shame on it !—does not observe the day set.apurt by God, hut dese- “crates it and observes the'first day of the week, appointed by men as defifz that on which our ‘Lord ascended to Heayén, as in their mind the. most appropriate, aud then hold up their hands iu. horror because the, world desecrates their Sabbath. fa : Now, my opinion as 8; Christian is, let the Church first show their Jove and veneration for the Sabbath which God’ appointed from the foundation-of the: worll; snd then may they, teach others the observauce with some hope of succebs, CuRIsTiAN. The Ont-Door Paupers. To the Editor $f The Tribune. Cutcaco, June 28.—Mr. Pilgrim, the agent: ‘appointed by the County’ Board to investigate, ithe recipients of the Charity Fund distributed to the different towns of the county, has just made his report for the Town of Evanston. He reports forty-seven ‘familics out of fifty- eight receiving out-doorrelier, as-it is called, to ‘be unworthy, this being more than 90 per cent. {f this be true of the’ godly town of Evans- ton, what mizbt we not'expect of the ungodly Town of Lemont? Col. W. 8. Brown’s master- ly report, which was at. firat thought to bea gross exaggoration, is being sustained in every direction, aud was the eufering wedge and open- ing duor to the exposition und explosion of the whole system of pauper-fraud which had “as- sunied such gigantic provortions in this ‘county. ‘the Inter-Ocean, remariting on Mr. Pilerim?s report op Evanston, expresses the opinion that it will save the county at-least $10,000, It has aiready saved more than that sum in the ‘town of Lemont alone. 0 Mr. Pilgrim, who-isodoing very thorough .Work, was not apoiuted- until Col.

CrtcaGo, Juice 25.—Inasmuch as there appear- ed in to-day’s issue of Tux ‘TRisunx-an article about the complaint made against me as a Con- stable, I beg leave, injustice to. myself, to occupy sufficient of your space to reply and re- fute the unjust accusatigns, aud to state the real facts of the case: 5 Mr. La Jeunnesse removed all of his goods from his house at 4 o'clock in. the morning of Monday, intending to legve the United States for Canada with his family, and thus escape from his creditors. He deposited his zoods in a propeller atJackson and Market streets, and trom that propeller, and not from his house, the levy was made. If there was any food seized it was bailed ap in boxes.. 1 deny emphatically that I refused to summop;the three household- crs. [did summon them,—James Walsh, John Kelly, and Patrick Flynn. ‘ Since Miss McKee shot McElligott,- people haye on ‘all occasions ‘taken everv opportunity .to tread. upon Constables, simply because they are Constables. Constables, like any citizens, haye rights, und are not,always at fault. ‘Their dutiés may at times be disagreeable, but under the law they have tobo.pertormed, like the @utiesof policemen, detectives, or any other city or county officials. .-All I ask is a fair show —believing that itis wrong that the papers should by their reports.’ prejudice the. public against meuntil both ,sides of the case are known.

Jomnston, Clerk’ of'Board of Education.“ Everything Booming Under Harrison. : To the.Editor.of- The Tribune. Cmicaso, June 28.—Car it be possible: that the reports that sometimes are* to be beard about some of’ our polige standing in with thieves, bunko stcerers,, and prostitutes are: trae?- For the good ngme of-the city and all coucerned, we hope not;: but from appearances it looks as though they were true, in.some cases atleast. Now, ‘since the gag order promulgated from the head of the detective department has been in force in regard to giving reports of rob- beries, ete., to the press; there are many com- plaiats that do not get into the papers, espectal- jy against buoko men.: ‘Two or three cases irom Fourth avenue; and:some from Madison and Randolph streets, to:the writer’s knowledge have: never been ip anyof the papers, and we are: sure of sume of .them being reported tothe police, or at least those suffering from these worse than highwaymen claim. to have re- ported.’ -A nest of: these:sivek fellows are to be found in every disreputable~ locality betweert’ Van Buren and Harrison'streets, and when some greeny is ‘roped in and made crazy with drink by some of the gang and robbed, be will get very little satisfaction or information'if he wishes toconiplain, from any one. in that neighbor- ,hood, as. they are ali -about the same: ‘class, aud will advise Mr. Granger to let itdrop, -as nothing can be ‘dgne; ‘or if any one goes there. to make any inquiries about those places, he will never find any one who ever heard of any- thing of the’ kind going on in that locality., But there is no mistake about it; there has been more than one mai rope@’in there from State and other streets, nud sume of them by street-walkers, and one man was threatened with bis life if he did not “git” and keep stiil after losing bis little pile, and he atverwards - poudd told a friend that he considered himself lucky to get away with bis life, and wasactually afraid to go and make acomolaint; and we supoose it is just as well, as nothing would have been done, for they, with his own money, would have bought themselves out of trouble. ‘Those fel- lows walk and sit around those corners with as little fear as any. honest man could do. ‘They know what ‘they are doing, and fear nothing from onr officials; and when such is the: case there must be something rotten in Denmark, and a “divy”. must be the nigger in the wood pile. And there is something behind all of this when street-walkers, and those who rent them rooms, laugh and tell you out boldly, as they will, that they are all right and not afraid of be- ing molested. There fs another pieger in the wood pile,.und a very black one atthut.. A very fine state of affairs indeed, not to speak even of the thieving and gambling mére boldly carried ' on than would be allowed in the heart of Mex- ico. These peopte wil all tell you .that this is the best administration we ever had in Chicago. “What Is Light?” To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmroaco, June 23.—Mr. G. P. Randall, in his article, “ What Is Light?” in to-day’s TRipune, describes very ably the result, action, and prop- agation of ‘‘light,” but not its natare. What- is the use for repeating the everlasting ‘ undu- latory.” theory, which requires 2 medium (ether) in apace? Is it not held by all defenders of this theory that this medium (ether) consists of matter,—of matter of certain density? if this be the case, aud no defender of the theory denies it, then it bas certainly a retarding influ- ‘ence on all bodies moving in “ space,” and this, again, i not disclaimed by the upholders of said theory, bat it is acknowledged by them that the contraction of the comet orbits is the result of this retarding force, ete. In an article sent to you, published in Tae TRIBUNE June 22, I gave indisputable proof that there is no’ such medium (ether) in “space.” Why try to dudgca truth established «bv undeniable logic? appeal to the setse of justice of all honest, thinking minds to set aside all presuppositions and weigh the logic in my defense thut “space” in its condition is ‘vacuum.’ I showed plainly that, by dropping the “undulatory” aud “corpuscular”? theortes, a substitute in principle, if not worked out in itg detaila, cau tuke ucir place—gravity, licht, heat, and motion are synonyme, and originate all from one source and from one cause. Mr. Randall, in his article published in THE Trisune June 28, repeats only what has been timidly so often mentioned by the defenders of the undulatory theory. as follows: ‘Though these Waves cross aud recross as they go, they do no doubt blot each other out at times, but are ‘quickly? replaced by other waves,” etc. Mr. Randall and all defenders of said theory will bear in mind thatir the “wave” theory was true, then there-would be no spot, however small, in’ “space,” where these waves would not meetund destruy themselves mutually. This settles the ‘ waye theory.” - ADoLPH STEMP! ‘The Court-House Contracts, * To the Editor of The Tribune. Curcago, June 28.—It is of the utmost im- portance to the taxpayers of Cook County that the contract .for the completion of the county portion of the new Court-Honse be let to honest and responsible parties. The Commissioners who were elected on the Republican and Reform tickets should guard the people's. interests and overturow all Ring and corrupt combinations. Ring contractors have already grown rich out of this Court-House, und itis time that the over- burdened.taxpayers should cease to be the prey of public plunderers.’ It is clear that a power- fal effort is being made to award the contract to Sexton.and other alleged partners of his who are said to have put in straw. bids, and are also believed -to be totally irresponsible. Sexton las been the pet contractor of the County Board - {n its worst days of jobbery and. steals. Contracts bave been ootained for Years past by placing larce amounts of mouey where it would do-the most good. ‘ oo An opportunity now presents ftself to the Re- publican majority of the Board to cast ont all that remains of the corrupt‘vontractors and ir- responsibles whose deaiinys witb the county are a diggrace and a shame’ to: public decency. Itis to be hoped now that there is enough of virtue left in the County- Board to. bury Ring contractors out of sight. ‘Iht!peovle'ure ‘heart-, ily sick of jobbers, and will fadofse ‘the honest action of the honest men the’ Board. No further opportunities should’ ven riugsters to’prey upon thie’ County Treasii : Before this contract is“ aiuraed' the Com- missfoners should well consider whether or not it would be wise to let it by pieceniéal or to the lowest responsible bidder ‘for’ the entire work. it is well known that some of’ the parties whom the Committees recommended’ yesterday are notoriously impecunious and yaworthy of con- fidence. .A business-man about to put up a store or residence would be tooked- upon as partially insane to intrust such parties with the work. Isit likely, then, that the men whom no intelligent business-man would trust are the fit aud proper parties to finish the County-Build- ing in an enduring, substantial, and workman-~ like manner? A Taxparen, . Sewer Ventilation, © To the Eaitor af The Tribune. : -Cuicaco, June 28.—A short time since you published a letter from a correspondent con- deimning street-opening sewer vestilation. By reading the'Ietter .in question. many persons have been Jed to believe that the ventilators are injurious to public health, being avenues through which pass noxiotis vapors and poison- ous gases Into houses, through ‘doors and win- dows.: 1t is to eradicate this idea that I write this letter and ask its publication in your valued journal of news. Chicago in'thus ventilating sewers is not ex- perimenting; she is putting into practical use that whieh has benefited and ‘proved a biessing to every” community that hes adopted the sys- tem. yn a Sewers sre a necessity, and through them must pass the refuse fluids of dwellings, such refuse matters being animal find vegetable com- ig, are somewhat offensive, but not poison- ‘ous when they: enter the sewer. . It isin non- ventilated, dark,.and damp places, by a process of fermentation, that such gases as carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, carburetted-hydrogen, and sulphuretted hydrogen are geuerated from ani- mal and vegetable matter. All of these gases are poisovous..and totally unfit for respira- tion’ in. any quantity. The temperature and condition of non-ventilated sewers in this. city. will produce rapid decompo- sition of the refuse passing into them, resulting in pratrescence, and ‘generation of poisonous gases of an expansive and forcible character, filling the entire space: within the sewer, and spreading with equal force in every direction, unlike fluids which spread only in a lateral: direction, thus entering dwellings se- eretly and forcibly, permeating and passing through substances that are impervious to air. or water, giving no warning or indication of its presence, except by development’ of some ype ofcontinued fever or infectious eruptive disease, frequently resulting in death. * The ventilators admit.a current of fresb sir, and light.in quantity that will prevent -the gen- .eration of gas in‘ any: amount ‘that will prove injurious, thus purifying the avenues of filth and applying # corrective where it is needed. Air and light accompanied with rapid motion. twill purify any foul atmosphere when ‘brought in“‘contact.’ Air within’a ventilated sewer it srespired will support life. Air within the sanie sewer Without ventilation will destroy life. ‘he work of sewer ventilation should be pressed forward with vigor and completed soon as “practicable, and I hesitate not to declare that,” with the abundant supply of good water ‘which Lake Michizan will constantly afford, the future record of Chicago will prove it.to he one of the healthiest cities in the world. Wat. Haney. ., Zhe Bohemian Plenic, To the Editor.af The Tribune... a‘ CurcaGo,* June 28.—After reading over the | account of the examination of the Bohemian sharoshooters in your issue of to-day, I would, in bebalf of a peaceable community, ree their conviction to.the fullest extent of the law, and thus give to the Communistic rabbie a lesson to the. effect that the Jaw is not to be dispensed by sa mob, To. state the -facts-briefly.a motley crowd, under the guise of 'a Sunday-schoo! (one that neither fears nor knows 2 God),gavea picnic on the Sabbath, aud before their departure for their pleasure-seeking grounds provided them- selves with an armed escort of aliens. It was well understood in their minds to use their con- voy of Bohemian, sharpshooters to the best ef- fect on those who should in any way or form of- fend them io their Communistic ideas. The re- sult is only too. well known. They took the law into their own hands, and for tbls presump- tion they should: be punished. If their plans were of a peaceable nature, and they anticipated trouble, why did they not usk protection trom the authorities, and if on so doing were relused seek the redress that 1s gaaranteed to citizen and alien alike? A word to our City Fathers would not be amiss here. Why not pass a law similar to that in force in New York, viz: Nohody of men are allowed to parade in the streets as a society ‘without first asking and securing permission from the Mayor, which, on being granted, a squad of police is detailed to head them and sce that the route is kept clear, aud are:also on hand for any emergency.2, : . ‘This, you see, would keep all demonstrations under the control of the authorities. * Our Mayor took occasion to. remark that, had the ‘ Militia bill’? not been passed, he could haye prevailed upon the Societies anticipating a parade on the Fourth of July to do so without arms; he does not say, however, that should they attempt it he would use every available pow- er to preventit, and enforce the Jaw. On the face of this Task our vaciilating head if he caters to the interest of a mob. or law- abiding citizens? To the working-class I would say, that you bave chosen leaders when you * pool your issues” with. the Communists who do not understand the first principles of free and self- government. They are filliny your minds with the . incendiary doctrines. of the oppressed classes: in - Europe, which . there they dare not express, and -if so doing were ‘either. imprisoned or- banished; and now that they are in, a free country, not Knowing how to appreciate God’s blessed gift, they wish to incite you-to deeds of violence und actions that will avail you nothing. Outside of the man who {s‘ merceaary in bis motives you have the sympathy of the nation, and will pos- sess it as Jong as you use peaceable and quiet measares to gain your ends, but just as sure as you fullow the Socialist‘and Communist~ plat- form you will meet with inglorious defeat. It is an undisputed fact that the country is now in a more healthy financial condition than it was.before the Rebellion, aud why fs it? Simply because everything has found its level, and that we are on‘a sound basis. Youcan do no more than abide your time, and prosperity will be your reward. Native Boxy. a es y - Home Talent. F .
