The Qeneral Government having driven the warlike Sioux beyond the border line, ft. would now be well for the munteloal authorities of Chicago to turn thelrattention to the uxtingzutah- ment of tho Barbarfans who inhabit South Water streot, known as Commilssion-men. Civilization has softencd the aspect of cverv- thing modern, excent the nature of some South Water street merchants. A journey along that rugged thoroughtaro fe more hazardous than crosalng the Alps during a winter's thaw. If one escapes being crushed by huge erates, Anttened out by rolling barrels, mangled by huge trucks, or maimed by falling boxes, one fe then in danger of falling into the rude hands of these savage people who hire stores and then transact business on the sidewalk, by whom ho is kicked and cursed until he disappears ont of the street, The forbearance of the Chicago pablio fins been long; its patience has surnnssed oll pratse. A time of retribution will surely come, when they will rise up in their wrath, tear down and destroy the mountains of freiaht that ob- atruct the strecta, and linug avery commission man who docs not retire to his now empty estore and drag bis bulky merchonilise after him. They will, also, arrest, fine, and imprison those who punch, prod, kick. or curse Innocent pedestrians who, by endeavoring to gratify an seathetic tasto for the sublime, are becuiled into pasaing through the strect, thinking they are crossinga rorky range, The attention of the host Mayor Chiengo ever had {s called to, this monstrous tax on Chicago patience and forbear- ance.

Many complaints having recently been made of the condition of the grasain Lincotn Park, which, {t was said, had been burnt up boyond hope of redemption, by tack of watering, a re- portor called yeaterday nt the oflice of the Park Commisstonera to Inquire about the matter. ‘The Secretary, Mr. E. 8. Toslor, said that the complainte were well-founded. It was perfectly trite that the grass had oren defed up and that the lawns were parched and withered, The rea- son of this was the tong-continned drought, It scems that Lincon Park ta verv short of water, The ponds are supplied from the two artesian wells, which aro respectively (in round nitmbera) 1.100 and 1,800 fost deep. ‘The flow from these wells has gradually diminished of late years, and ft fs feared that at no Tate day the supply tnay conse entirely. For purposes of freleation the Dark fa dependent on. the supply obtained from the Citv and Lake View Water- Works, This {s cutirely {nsufllcient. There ore three elty meters on the south aud southeast, and one meter on the Lake Shore drive, near the northern ond of the park, the water betng obtained from Lake View. But the pipes are very sal, ranging from two to alx inches in diameter, and cannot conver half the water re: uired, The anpropriation for the extension of the pipes ‘has been already exhausted, but the amount of water recelved dally Is scarcoly putit- sent to keep the flowers, shrubs, and trees alive, At n recent meeting a committes was np- pointed with instructions to REPORT A PLAN OF ACTION. ‘The Commissioners have the alternattye of in- creasing the number and size of the q@ocs or of bullding water-works of thelr own. ‘The latter plan tins most aupnorters. [t {s stated tbat o bamolng engine can bo erected near the loke shore and a lino of pipe run out a short distances into Lake Michigan at a much smaller exrense than would bo entailed by the extension of the city or Lake View pipes. Meantime the grass is perishing for lack of water, and the Commissioners ara powerless to remedy the evil, [tis too Inte this season to put in additional pines, and those at nresent in use afford a yery Inadequate sunvly.

Minor fsa man rather under mid- dle azo, quiet and atert inconversation, aud pol-, ished and pleasant in manner, Ie sald that ho did not cara to add anything to the letter publisticd fn the Tribune to-day. Whatever information he possessed came to him in his capacity as family physician, and he was not at Hberty to. disclose it, Moreover, he had not soucht to inform himself, ns he proferred to be nbte to plead a lack of knowtedce In answer to tha Inquiries of friends. | f1¢ would say, how- ever, that Mra. Stewart had felt very keenly the injustice done Judge Hilton in the report that he had decelvéd her and induced Ler to belleve that the body had been recovered. She had en- tira confidence tn dude Hilton, who bad kent her fully acquainted with every atep in the ease whieh she desired to know. She felt also the injustico to herself in the {dea that. she could be go weak as to beso easily decelyed as this re- port claimed. Bho therefore desired ber phy- alcian to write the letter to the Tribune, Dr. Minor would sav little more about the ense, but in the course of conversation {t was learned that Judge UH lton had received many communications from persons repreeentine the thieves, They at first dem-nded $2,590,000 for the return of the body, but finsltv reduced their domunis, step by ate, to $200,000, Gen. Jones had been only one of several persons through whom letters lind come from the grave-robbors, Every effort had beon mado to trace theac com- rounications and to got at the original sources, ‘The Montreal clew, or suposed clow, had been thoroughly examined without result, It was not now beticved that the body tnd aver been tnken to Montreal. It was thought likely that, it might now not bo far from New York. aA great amount of money and antmmensa amount. of tabor and time bad been spent in tracing every porslbic clew, in going over every bit of ground that afforded the falntest promise of suecess, In these fuvestications tt had been found that aeveral men now of reputable position in INew York were connected with the robbers. ‘Their vames might yet be disclosed, and would startle the community. Propositions had been made to Judvze Hilton to go to various places in the State, where it was promised the body would be delivered. In favt, there had becn proffcrs, suegestions, and negotintions of the most varied and remarkable sort: but Judge Hilton had no disposition to pay for the return of the body without the arrest of the criminats, ‘The robbers had tried In every way to bring him. to their terms, but he was inflexible. They were holding out, and he was holding out; and tn patience, persistence, nnd determination ho was more than a mateh tor them. Dr, Minor sald he believed that neither Judea Hilton nor Mrs. Stewart would ever consont to the terms of the grave-robbers, ‘The Judea showed no frelinaiion, at oreseat, he thoucht, to pay more than $25,000 for the return of the body, and would not compromise at any price in the way of promising immunity to the erim- Inala, Dr, Minor enid he know nothing of Dr. Carnoy’s detective works, and very Httio about Dr, Carnoy himself, odid not know where Dr, Carney had gone. He himself was Inclined to take a hopeful view of the case, aml to be- lieve that the boas woula yet be recovered, and the criminals be brought to justices but ho ad- mitted that he had no special knowledge of re- cent progress made in the case to establish a firm foundation for such a bellef. sa a THE CHISOLM MASSACRE.

When the cireumatances which led to the massacre are re+ membered it seems no more than just that the reported contributions should be made.
