Just previous to his departure the man of many ventires was found closeted with his trusty henchman, Fitz, who was nearly smothered under the lond of in- structions which his chief was leaving bebind. In the course of a fragmentary conversation the General gaye s few facts relative to his future plans, which may be put together in this- way. He proposes being abzent for only afew weeks, merely going to finally arrenge for such attractions a2 he requires for the few re~ maining dates at his several theatres during the seuson of 88-'s]. He will return here, take a hasty revicw of the field, and fly to Colorado, where he will remain absorbed in quartz and uch things until the season is, well advanced At his Fifth-Avenue Theatre in New York he proposes to play the highest cluss of entertain- mente only, and umong the chief attractions at this house will be Fanuy Davenport, Mary An- dergon.Jobn McCullough, and the Strekosch- Hess English Opera Company. It is expected that the engagements here will be, prolonged ones, and speeial attention to the mounting of piays will be observed. Haverty willuim to make it “one of the foremost theatres in the coun- ty." The class of-amusementsoffered the public at the Fourteenth Strect house will be of a dight- erorder, He will endeavor to cater to the popu- lor taste.. Among the companies now booked for this theatre‘are: Goodwin's “ Hobbies,” the Hice Surprise Party. Rice's new “Evangeline” party, Jarrétt & Rice's “Fun on the Uristol” organization, Dudley Buck's new opera troupe, Bartley Campbelt’s several companies, Salsbury’s ‘Troubadours (upon their roturn from Engjand), the Tourists. “Widow Bedott,” afd others of a. similar nature, Haverly says the Fourteenth Street Theatre has proved under his managemeut one of the best paying amusement houses ia York. * Indeed,” said he, “itis doubtful Ne if any other theatre in that ‘city can show an equal profit.” Whether this be true or not, the uct remains that he has been able to keep it open since he assumed control of it, and it, had ways been looked upon as a “Jonan.” A grand spectacular vives (whether ‘of Kiraify’s construction or not remuins to be determined) ‘Will be preduced at Niblo's fu the fall. It will probubly hold the boards for the great- er, part of the " season. Miss Fan- my avenport will play an engagement at this house. , Louis Aldrich and Charles Pars- Joe will a!so appear there in “My Partner.” In speaking of bis future management of Nib- Jo's, Haverly suys he intends to keep a lookout for ‘The etrongest up-town Successes at the various theatres with a view of capturing them for that’ Rouse. With » few exceptions the engagements inade for the New York theatres are also made for Bruokiyd and Chicago. Here the chief event of the ecason will be ‘the en, ment of -Her Opera, with which will come Mme. Gerster and Cum- panini. “Jam very confident,” said the Gen- eral, * that my list of attractions ulready booked will make the coming season the most _brilliunt one known here for many years.” Not satistied with whut be has now in hung, Havérly progoses to put a few more irons in the tire. He speaks of possibly arrauging for two or three traveling orgunizations. in uddition to the Mastodons, who sailed on Wednesday for London; and the Col- ored Minstrels, increased to 10v performers, will- be Kept in the States andCanuda, Haverly is noth! if mot colusssl. The Musto- gons, a3 everybody knows, yo to Her Majesty's Theatre, and until the London opera season opens Billy Emerson, the ercat, and the other Mastodons will be found in the vicinity of Haymarket. It will depend very largely upon eireumstances whether they will make the tour of Great Britain or return home: after their London engagement. We may say here that, including wgeuts, bill-men, and the families of performers, seventy-one people sailed under the Haverly banner last Wednesday. which is quite an advance on, “the orginal’ furty—count ‘em —forty.’ As stated the other day. it is the purpose of the mangement to close the theatre Jn this city afterthe present engagement of Daly's com- pany, which terminates on the ith. On the 2d of Adgnst thé ‘house will be redpencd with the Talon Square. company, and during the recess the Painters, will busy brushing up the in- terior. : # GERMAN TNEATRICALS. Like Mr. Wurster, the former manager of the German Theatre in this city, Emil Hochster, the cxterer during the past season to the dramatic tuste of the - - Teutonic element, bus come to the conclusion that there'is.no moucy In it, and he bus consequently decided to atep out of the business entirely. The patronage is not generons cnough, he claims, to warrant more than une performance 2 week, and, agcording to Mr. Huchster, the au- diences in attendance at this one performance are not Inrge enough to defray bare ex- penses, leaving. out the question of, profit for a manager. He. says he could not raise the curtain on a Sunday night entertainment at 2 cost of Jess than $600.’ The. average receipts during bis season or thirty-six performances were #610, and this is taking into consideration the Jrschik engazement. That Lragedicune yppenred three tincs. the receipts i. raged $1,0X, she cleared about, $h2k, and Vocusier ovtted nearly 60 protitupan’ the speculation. ‘The Gende engagement was not, contrary to general belief. 2 tinaucial success, By the two performances Hochster cleared only about $100. ‘There is another.side to this story, however. Jt fs clusmed that the reason for bis pon-success Jay inthe fact ukzt he violated his promises. ‘Wheu Wurster broke up inthe middie of last eeason, MY. .HGcbster engaged the stronger members of his ccmpany, generally strength- ened the troupe witn fresh importations, and carried the performances at Huoley'’s through successtully. German patrons of tho theatre were satistied, and, upon his agrecing to present even a better organvation at the rinning of the prescnt season, his su} rteré declared that they would Hberuily second his efforts, But the season opened, and expectation was not revlized. At firet the ciences were large enough to leave “a margin or $200 or $30) a performdnce. * When the weak- ness of the troupe decane appurent the at tendauce begun “to diminish, until the receipts fell xway below the expenses. In louking over the history of Germain theatricals in this city. the fact xeherous patronage hus always been given meritorious entertainments, the running of a “German theatre. even™une night inthe week. seems perfectly feasible.

Clancy is the maiden name of their mother. Accord! tothe New York World, a curious legn! question ts likely to arise in consequence of the death bf John Brougham and the probate of his will, About two -years ngo several the- atrical benefits were organized for him, at which, by tpe sale.of tickets- and boxes, a sum of $20,000 was realized. _ When he applied, it is suid, for this money the cormitteemen who ba supervised the performances informed him that they feared his spendthrift hubits, and had, therefore, determined upon buying him an an- nuity with the proceeds. Against this determi- nation Str. Broughain is alleed to have then and always siuce protested, declaring that his name and the public good-will which he hud gained had produced the $10,000, and that, therefore, the sum was his own, to do with ashe pleased. However, an annuity was purchased which yielded him $8 per week. By his death so svon after the benefits referred toand the conse- quent purchase ofthe annuity the company to which the money was transferred has made” about -$8,000; so that practically, through the action of the Committec, Mr. Broughum's friends, instead of putting that sum {nto his coffers, have bestowed it-upon a corporation in which, by the way, it is not al- leged that any one of the Committeo is a share- holder. Mr. Brougham, it is said, received bis stipend under protest. He made a will, and now it ig represented that the lady in. whose favor it was made is ubout to institute a suit against the members of the Committee for the recovery of so much of the benefit moneys which they .re- evived as they failed to pay over to Mr. Brougham. This will be a ‘novel luwsuit, and ‘one likely to originate several questions 03 to gratuitolls trusteeship and the effect of implied consent by a beveticiury to the acts of his Trus- tees. It must be remembered, however, that if Mr. Brougham had lived to the age of 8, like John Brahun and Macready, or of 86, like the dramatists Cibber hnd O'Keefe, “neither Mr. Brougham nor his beirs would ever bave com- plained of the committeemen’s action, uor would the corporation which took the annual risk have bad much reason to be picased with its in- vestment.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cnresco, July 10.—The little News, which, while claiming to be a Itepublican puper, put forth the idea of Grant coming out as the Dem- oeratic candidate, and now supports Hancock in preferetice to the Republican nominee, says the charges against Hancock “don't stick.” I wonder whether this one “will stick,” and whether the News will indorse it. In the simmer of 162, when McClellan's biindering bud so nearly lost us the cause us to wiurhht Lee in invading the Northern States, resulting in the battle at Antictam, public opin- ion at the North ran so-high that the Adiminis- tration felt culled on to relieve the treacherous friend who so mugnaniwmously played into Tee's hand at Malvern — Hill, White-House Landing, Antictum, ete. “A movement wasstarted among the high Democrat-_ ing tu the establishment ofa Dicta- icoflicers luo!

Be- sides these two is another, Mr. F. D. Park, who arrived in Chicago Aug. 20, 1831, and is Sstillaresident of the city, an esteemed citi- zen, who has never intermingled im public affairs to make himself widely known. One of these, Gurdon S. Hubbard, has already been memorized in preceding chapters, as_his active life has in- terwoven its‘records into Chicago history. The other is Philo Carpenter, who is associ- ‘ated with later records of Chicago. Le came to the place in 1832, starting from Troy, N. Y., in May. He took the Erie Canal to Buffalo, and thence took passage‘on the steamer Enterprise (Capt. Walker, Master) to Detroit. Four and a balf days was then the usual time for this passage. Detroit was the western limit of estublished lines of West- ern transportation, but a mail-coach consist- ing of a Pennsylvania covered wagon with a concave body was drawn by two horses slow- ly through the wilderness road to Niles once a week, from whence the mail was caryied to Chicago on horseback, a half-breed general- ly performing the service. From Detroit to Niles, Mr. Carpenter, with another gentleman. named G. W. Snow, came in the mail-coach, ALy. Carpenter with Alr. Snow took passage from Niles to the mouth of the St. Joseph River on one of these boats, expecting to complete the last part of their journey on buard a sloop which made occasionnl trips frou this place to Chicago; butin this they ppointed,, ‘The last trip made-by this craft to Chiéaxo was just after Gen. Scott’s arvival at the place, and so great was the terror caused by the contagion. that he brought that_ no induceinent could influence the master of the sloop ta return. IN THIS EMERGENCY two Indians came to Mr. Carpenter, and by means of signs offered to convey him and his companion to their destination ina small boat along the shore «wound the head of the lake. Fiye dollars was the fare, half down and the i balance at the end of the journey. - The | terms being accepted, the Indians took to the ; woods, and soon returned with several long | strips of elim bark.- ‘hese were quickly tie together till a long tow line was improvised | and attached to the rude boat, which was the | exeayated trunk of a tree.

Only 23 votes were cast, which was but a feeble constituency with which to start a metropolis. P. J. V. Owen, George W. Dole, Mederd Beaubien, John Milter, and E. S. Kimberly were elected as Trustees. log jail was built on the public square where the Court-Ilouse has since been erected. An estray pen was also built at an expense of 12. . ‘The next year Mr. Williams was elected President of the Council Board of Trustees. Entering upon the responsibility of his office he found many difficulties in his path. There were various public improvements necessary. to be inade to keep pace with the progress of such public works as had been projected at Government e: pense, such as the Illinois & Michigan Canal and building the North Pier, and opening a straight channel for the mouth of the river through the sand-bar around wach ithad formerly tormed a circuitous jelta. - : Ciark street was then the principal high- way from north to south.
