A Sickles Case at Chicago. {From the Chicago Review, Jan 28 } HE OBEAT SOCIAL PROKLEM—THS GROWTH OF UM- MOBALIFY AND CRIME AMONG THE INTELLIGENT, THE WSALTRY AND THE PIOUS—SCANDAL IN HIGH IaTiil be readily conceded by those who ave read tho hits previous meus tl Ree rove previous mae ial barns Pune ‘any of the glaring acts of immorality and indecency which Bave found a place in the columng of the daily journals, while it has sgnored all of the numerous scandals which have been $0 industriously circulated by those winged messengers of Wrong—the gossips. We thenght nothing ‘was to be gained for the morals of the community by pa radig before the eye the vices of our neighbors, and net wishing to cater to the appetites of the depraved, we have Bhherto scrupulously avoided reference to such makers, ‘We now arrive at ferent conclusion, and believe that ‘the good of society demands an expose of those wretches, for the grati(cation of their lustful apj , dese: erate homes, render miserable through life their yietims, With whole Housebolis of their friends, gtain the fair ez eutcheon of many ipnocent families, and drag themselves fmto disgrace here aud perdition hereatter. Nothing but the newspaper lash seems te us to mect ‘such cases, and since our Chisago daily xg Yay bare cenly the crimes, the follies and vices of tbe poor and ‘owly,excepung where @ political point is to be gained, and pats over @ case ten thousand'times werse than the breaking up of @ den of infemy by the police, of John Kelly's getting drunk, or Mrs. 8., having a row about the ‘water supply, knocks Mrs. W.’s eye into mourning; or the case of the poor girl who, friendless, homelese and cold, ‘emsnared by the world’s love of show im dress, becomes, an outcast upon the street—all of which are detailed with Whe names, places and uncomplimentary annotations. Bat when Michigan avenue becomes the scene of a low and debasing crime, and when a mansion is proved to be Bifouler den than the harlot’s home, our cotemporaries me silent; they have not a word tosay. The amenities of society directs them Wo be silent, It is thie silence, perbaps, which has induced os to spread tho matter before our readers. We have no re- spect for adultery, because it is committed by the el t, ‘the learned, the seemingly pious and the wealthiest of the wealthy; therefore, we Unhesitatingly take up this matter, ‘and shail continue to take up all similar cases which reach ‘us equally a8 well authenticated as this. Our object is, by showing up these immoralities, to arouse sufficient interest to induce discussion, and to find, M possible, a solution of this great immoral question. Some one may rise up who can tell us why it is that as we are growing in intelligence, we seem to be falling back §mto the licentiousness of the dark ages; why itis that while the church is boasting of i millions of heathen cor- ‘verts, we are doing worse than the unchristianizes caui ‘bal; why it is that in the very church itself, many of the sbining lights—divines, deacons and sisters—are the ones whose bearts are given over to lust. and infamy. Is this ‘te moral of our book learning’ Is this the result of the mistion of the fine arts? Taere is something wrong in all this. It needs a solution; who shall give it? Here, within the past year, two Chicago clergymen have ted from their flocks because of immoralities practised ao among the very ones whose gouls were confided te their pastoral charge; two men in high, responsibie po- @itions in life, have been guilty of the seduction of their ‘wives’ sisters; one equally respectable has been guilty of jmmmora) conduct with a niece of his wife—upoa ail of which our daily journals have not dropped a word of re- oval. Two. more of our churches are now agigated by ecan- dale. One, a canting wllain rums a respectable girl; and ‘the other, a case where a married woman had consented to recetve the illicit embraces of a member of the same Almost within our ken, another disgraceful sceno is fwanspiring on this very lake shore. Up at Rasine the ‘whole community are agitated by the flagrant immorality of a clergyman of the Presbyterian church, who, having Deen taken into the home of a happy family, hgs turned and stang his entertainer, by robbiog him of his wife—a ‘woman forty years old, and the mother of noble grown up daughters. Wo have only to cast our eyes across the At- Jantic to find Mrs. Gurney running away with her footman; and thus we have the consolation that we are no worse mor better than our neighbors. The world seems tw be full of this species ot crime. But, for this case:— The city was startled early during the past week by the yumor that a leading banker had discovered his wife to be holding improper intimacy with a disinguished lawyer: and coon the story got afloat, as all bad ones will, and the faets in various forms, and dressed to suit the teller, have been since ventilated in every place where two or more persons have been gathered together. ‘This case has remarkable features in it, and fewer pal- Rating circumstances than, perhaps, even the famed Sickles affair. Neither of the guilty pair is handsome— en the contrary, she is a slight, sallow woman, very plain, cuty interesting for her fine black eyes and biack hair, ‘thirty-two years of age, the mother of two girls, and a ‘bird an infant in arms. She was a meek, lowly woman, apparently absorbed in her Christian and domestic duties: @ member of a fashionable church on the avenue, and seemingly much wrapped up in her self imposed work in fhe Sabbath school. She was brought up under the roof @f an ex-member of Songress of New York State, and a railroad magnate, whore honor and fair fame in private Mfe bave never becn gullied. She was adopted by him; her generous dower furnished by him; his sensible ideas ef dress were implanted in her bosom, for she was re- markable in our streets for her neatness of apparel, while ber unostentatious manner was the theme of comment. Many times she might have been seen drawing the bab: ‘earriage through the streets with ber own hands, althoug wbe was surrounded with servants, and lived in a villa- built palace of Milwaukee brick, on Michigan avenue; on the graperies and hothouses to which, alone, $100,000 had been expended by her generous and too confiding husband. She was a jain, modest, courteous woman, of more than ordinary telligence; and her fali is certainly more surprising than she bad been a young giddy, pretty woman, badly Dreught up and suddenly arisen to fashiouable life aud all Diandishments of a new and flattering position. ‘The eeducer is a lawyer of some eloquence, of consider- ‘able ability and of marked success. He was a member of Congress from a neighboring State, and is a husband and fatber of eight children, and resides in the North Division. ‘Any one who has attended our courts has observed a fa:;, thin man, with a turn up nose, light hair, sprinkled with gray, 2 face almost covered with hair, and shaved im the Evgileh or ior Dundreary style, with rather an affected, but nevertheless canner, conducting cases before the several tribunt man who has Drought ruin and shame upoa ao crush- ed the heart of one of our best citizens, and who seams now by his brazen parade of our streets to be without shame. The pogsone f ha fall, © dificult for us ‘to comprehend as it for Hamlet to account for bis mo- Sher’s crime, the murdering of her novle husband for his graven brother. ‘Whai makes ihe crime still worse, much of the busi- ness of this honorable (7) was gained through the man ; whom he has se bagely wronged; and the best of it—the Jucrative railroad attorneyehips he-held—were gained through the wronged man’s influence with his unfortunate ‘wife’s adopted father. Ho was likewise the banker's at- torney, bis confidant, his friend; and was not only received into his home, but through him he gained access to other families ot note and espectability. Shall we sermonize upon base ingratitude? No. Let this suffice: For eighteen months this villain has been defiling the home of his best friend. Besides being a libertme, he lost some $3,000 at lay some two years since at one of our leading hotels. Wie in Washington he was the subject of a rumor as Deing one who tried to ruin a daughter or niece of a now ‘Wabinet Minister; in 1857 he effected the ruin of a married ‘woman on the Nerth Side; and while be was betraying fare banker's wife, this ugly lothario was recently seen dancing at the hops gotten up by abandoned women. *~ need not dwell on the hypocrisy of this ~ - we man, who, when a n-'~** —~ wan; or this wo- Be _-guvoring female was accused of a __—aeon, ne ‘‘cast the first stone,”’ and said she would not Peeognise her in society, even while she was receiving ‘and returning the visite of this wretch in the form of a man; aye, and meeting him tn his office. ‘The affair was discovered strangely. Jousy was aroused by the familiarity of = bite J hman, an insurance agent residing here, with his wife, ‘and in watching for some overt act on their part, canght im company with her his friend, his counsellor, under cir- ‘eumstances which led him to charge his wife with disloy- alty to her marriage vows, and she confessed to acts of ‘eriminality, not only with the lawyer, but a'so with the Mmsurance agent, and a distinguished artist, well known in this city and in Washington. This confession was ac- Kknowledged before a notary public. ‘We have it from good authority that the banker set his ‘eonfidential clerk to watch the guilty pair, and one Sunday while he was supposed to be attending his miseion school duties, be, with his clerk, took part in the watch. The @lerk saw the honorable (?) enter the house, and saw him enter the room of the wretched woman. The clerk then Jeft, returned with the husband, who caught the pair in inte delicto, ire husband of the bruised heart then repaired to their Aeyoted nastor, aud communicated all. As soon as the minister's surprise was over, he bade the brother to join faim in prayer, so that the Lord might counse! them upon the couree to be pilrsued ; and upon their bended knees ‘they earnestly prayed for many minutes, and tne nusbatid farove refreshed, strengthened and somewhat comforted. His plan was soon Loe ee was a he step. She was sent to her adopted parent, resigning ‘elaim to the children, save the baby. He told ber that he woul make such settlement of property as her adopted Yather thought right. He wrote thus to the pergon re- ferred to, and subsequently went East to make the neces- Bary settlement. ® Such are the main facta of a case of the truth of which ‘there is too little reason to doubt. The ingenious attempts of the wily lawyer to cast over the whole an appearacce of doubt, and meet it with positive denial, only tell more ly the departure Pt redeeming quality from the f this un; 3 we are the anosent husband has refused to The banker’s Eng- it bas pot pudlish- | tmbrne ictpands in the blood of the rillain, and it is ru- he #® may, ® panisbment more certain than that which can ‘be meted out by any injured husband or human tribunal ‘awaits this heartless villain.

The receipts of cotton continue to increase, and the crop estimates now range from 4,250,000 to 4,500,000 bales. Notwithstanding this prospect, the price steadily advances. Late steamers from Europe report a buoyant market at Liverpeol, and higher prices; hence our market has advanced fully } a cent. The movement is predicated, in part, on, the increased demand for raw cotton which will flow from the adoption of free trade in France, and the commencement of a new era of manufacturing industry in that country. Indepen- dently of this, however, there is no doubt that the consumption of cotton is increasing even more rapidly than the production, and notwithstanding the large area of new ground planted each year, we look for no material decline in the price. The shipments both from here and from Southern ports continue to be liberal. The unsettled condition of the European grain and flour markets has almost put a stop to our ex- Port of cereals; there has been, however, an ad- vance in both wheat and floar since last week, in consequence of the increased home demand for consumption. Corn continues to decline. The grain receipts at Chicago keep up. This time last year there was very little wheat, flour, or corn coming into Chicago; at present the receipts, especially of corm, are very large indeed. There seems no doubt but last year’s crop in the West, notwith, standing partial failares here and there, will, in the average, compare favorably with past years, and, unless the foreign demand which we have been so long told to expect should arise, will enable the people of the North to purchase bread at a mode- rate price all sammer. There is a better demand for pork and beef, and both have advanced, especially the former. In Dilinois the receipts of pork are larger than last year; elsewhere the report is that the crop is short. The foreign produce market exhibits no marked change. Sugars are very firm, without much do- ing. Coffee is buoyant at an advance. Teas are firm; some old green lately sold at auction was wanted at an advance of two cents a pound. Hides are steady; considerable shipments to foreign mar: kets are being made. The dry goods importers are a little disappointed with the week’s business, the purchases having been less than was anticipated. There are buyers in town from the most northern of the slave States; but they, like the city jobbers, are buying with great caution. It is too early for the buyers from the tar South ot the West; but the expectation is that when they come they will purchase freely. There can be no doubt but the Western purchasers will be able to buy more than usual; and, as the South is richer than ever be- fore,,a similar increase is lgoked for from that quar- ter, The imports from Europe are about the same as Jast year. The following are the comparative tables of the trade of the port for the past week and since Jam Li ‘Iuports. For the week. 1868. 1859. 1860.

At the close of last week the banks held an average specie reserve of $19,924,301, and the Sub-Treasury a balance of $9,010,569. Yea- terday the Sub-Treasury balance stood at $9,676,732, nearly the whole of the $1,100,000 having been paid in on account of the loan awarded on 31st January; and the bank reserve probably stood at about 1 table of the railway traffic of January on the prin- $19,250,000. This is, however, exclusive of $1,476,000 received on Friday afternoon from Cali- fornia, which will restore the bank average to the neighborhood of twenty-one millions. There is no prospect of a revival, for some weeks at all events, of heavy specie shipments to Europe, and a9 g90n as the Post Office Appropriation ‘jit passes, the Sub-Treasary balatiée heté will be speedily trans. ferred to the banks. For the present, therefore, the banks standin no danger of embarrassment from any undue drain upon their bullion; though, if they continue, as last week, to increase their loans at the rate of a million a week, it is certain that before the year ends they will have trouble enough. Many of the most experienced and sound” est financiers in the country are already looking forward with great anxiety to the future. Everything now looks well. The crops are good, and are netting good prices to the producers; commerce is increasing and confidence is gaining ground; the only dark spots on the horizon are the bank expansion and the im- porta of dry goods. If any guarantee could be offered that the banks would this spring keep their discount line within moderate bounds, and that the dry goods importers would not increase their pur- chases from abroad, it would be safe to predict a of single name paper, or paper that {s offered at @ high rate of interest. The movements of the government will probably exercise mo small juftuence on the money market this year, Notwithstanding the heavy receipts for duties, it is likely that very shortly after the passage of the Post Office Appropriation bill, Mr. Cobb will have to re-enter the market as a borrower once more. It is supposed that he has on hand not more than $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 of Treasury ‘notes; too small an amount to carry him through the semmer. It would not be surprising, therefore, if Mr. Sherman, on whom now devolves the duty of providing ways and means for the government, should bring forward a scheme authorizing a new toan of ten to fifteen millions of dollars. Foreign exchange has been dull throughout the week, and closes } lower on both sterling and francs than at the close of the week previous—the authorized quotations for bankers’ bills being 108} @ ¥for sterling, and 5.183 a 5.20 for francs. Im- porters are unusually backward in remitting to the other side—a circumstance which is ascribed in some quarters to the dulness of trade, in others, and apparently on better grounds, to the moderate indebtedness of the United States to Europe. There probably never was a time when our people owed less to Europe than they do at present, not- withstanding the heavy importations of last year. We published, the other day, a report of a meet” ing of the Chamber of Commerce, at which that body adopted the report of a committee recom- mending the President to mediate between the Chinese andthe maritime Powers of Europe, and held over a report concurring with the Chamber of Commerce of Bremen as to the wrongfulness of privateering in time of war. There seems to be a fatality about the proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce. Its membersare,in general, sagacious, sensible men, whose opinions as individuals and on general commercial matters are well worthy of at- tention. But as a body, we are bound to aay that we know of none in the country which so frequently comes before the public in a foolish and ridiculous light as the Chamber of Commerce. Happily for that body, the sensible remarks of one of the members of the special committee prevented the adoption of a report on privateering which would have shown the world that New York merchants are ignorant of the fundamental principles of American policy, and are willing to see the empire of the seas, in the time of war, ex- clusively in the hands of European Powers. Bat there was no member, it seems, who had nerve or eense enough to point out to the Chamber the ab- surdity of the proposed mediation between the marit'me Powers of Europe and China. In the first place, the United States have not credit enough with the Chinese to get their own treaty carried out, or their own Ambassador received at Pekin; and, in the second, to propose a mediation would atonce convince the Chinese that the maritime Powers of Europe were afraid of them; and Eng- land and France, well knowing this, would never hear of such a step. We are not stre that the cause of commerce, which the “Chamber” is supposed to have in especial charge, will be a heavy sufferer by a new Chinese war. There are races who cannot be civilized and brought into the family of nations without a free use of the bombshell and the bayo- net. Many good authorities class the Chinese in this category.

There is no great demand for stocks (with the exception of State stocks) either for investment or for specula- tion; but, on the other hand, there are no stocks pressing on the market for sale; hence, prices are well supported in a dull market. The leading operatoys at the board are bears, but, against the steadily maintained reports of increasing traffic on the principal railways, they are not able to cause any material decline in prices. It is evident that the game of last year is not going to be renewed successfully. We reprint, with additions, our comparative cipal roads:— Fronds. Jan., 1859. Jan. , 1860. ~ Increase.

Both will probably show an improvement over lastyear. All the Western roads, except the Galena, are doing better. The Galena shows a small falling off, in consequence of the want of corn on that line. The Michigan roads, especially the Southern, are doing unusually well. On Saturday the “assented stock” of the Erie was called at the board for the first time, and was quoted at the same value as the old stock. We understand that the number of “assents” rendersit certain that the plan of reorganization will be car. ried out; the managers have therefore extended indefinitely the period for assenting to the scheme, in order that every one who is interested may come in and avail himself of the advantages of the new plan. Parties who have already assented will now do well to call and exchange their old stock for the new. A committee of the Stock Exchange has been appointed to report upon the admission of the extended bonds and preferred stock. A subject to which reference was made several months ago in this column has again come up dur- ing the past week; we allude to the project for an ‘open board, like the Paris Bourse. The scheme is now set forth in the shape of a bill which has been laid before the Legislature by certain parties, who, not being members of the present board, have la- bored unsuccessfully to obtain the rights and privi- leges of members. Coming from such a souree it is hardly likely that any attention will be paid to it; though the revival of the project may lead those members of the board who were a year ago in favor of the open system to reconsider the matter. Connected with this subject is the trade in “calls,” which has been much discussed in the street of late. By this system, parties who choose to speculate in stocks can limit their losses. A. is willing to sell B. the right to call on him for 1,000 shares of the stock of the New York Central Rail- road Company at 71} at any time within sixty days from the date of the contract, for the sum of $1,000. B. pays the $1,000, and goes into the market a seller of 1,000 shares of stock at 70}, de liverable at his option in sixty days, thus limiting his loss to $1,000, but taking his chance of a dectine period of solid and unexampled prosperity for the country. Money remains as easy as it was. Till yesterday there was a fair demand for money among the brokers at aix per cent; yesterday the demand fell short of the supply, and some lenders were forced to be satistied with 5}. At bank, the applications continue moderate; some banks are said to be de- parting from sound principles in order to get paper. At the discount houses the supply of paper con- tinues fair. Good names, 4 & 6 months, go at 7 a8 per cent, while short firs class acceptances find a market at 6. Second class paper is hard of sale at9al2 percent. A few small failures take place from time to time, and rendez capitalists aby in the shares, not only of one per cent, which les- sens his 1,000, but of 1 or 2 per cent more, accord- ing to circumstances. Thia traffic is now carried on to the extent of many thousands of shares weekly, an unnatural and excessive supply of stock. Contracts can be made, and are daily being made, for the right to call for thousands of shares of Galena and Ghicago, Rock Island, Read- ing Railroad, Panama and Pacific Mail Company, besides many others, as well as New York Central it will at once be perceived that here isa new source of apparent supply of these various stocks, which, for the time being, and duriog periods of suspended confidence, must necessarily tend not Moptso pilot boat | only to depress the stock market, but to keep it depressed for longer intervale than usual. It will be equally clear that new elements are introduced, calculated to retard the growth of confidence, and new incentives created to induce individuals to labor for the reduction of prices. There are, how- ever, two sides to the question. While this singu- lar method of dealing in stocks may be very pro- lific of profitable results during the periods of public disorder, it must tend to produce great changes and very high prices the moment a favora- ble change occurs in the community at large. The houses selling the “right to call” must enter the market to protect their engagements. They must compete for stocks with the natural demand that must then exhibit itself. Between the two com. petitors it is not difficult to calculate the result. conetrenretsiemeetinsmciiliceess CITY COMMERCIAL REPORT. Sarurpay, Feb. 11—6 P. M.
