We are not disposed to enter into any wrangle with the 'limes about the matter. But it is proper to remark that we sincerely believed, prior to last Monday, that the bona tide, regu lar, laving circulation of the daily I'ebss and Tujiu'nb was very considerably larger than that of the Timet, both in aud out of the city, and we ure htill lirtnly of the same opinion. Wc re gard the statement it tent in to the I'ost Master us an evufiicn or violation ot the true intent and meaning of the law. An inspection ol the statement plainly shows that it is not honest. It is notorious among newspaper publishers, that December is the worst uipnth in the year for circulation. It is time when subscribers are most apt to dis continue, when settling their quarterly bills; in January they commence again taking the papers. The past month has been destitute of exciting news ; travel on the railroads has been very light, und there have been but few strangers at the hotels. The puMic demand for .newspapers has been dull. Now, in the faceof ltt"ta, look at tie Tina* statement. Com mencing on December iiih, as it claims, with 4,4jS papers, its*ells to 5,7-I'J in the next twenty issues 1 Here is an increase, in the absence of all legitimate cause, of l/.SU subscribers in the Che short space ol three weeks, or nearly SO per cent!

OLE SPBIXCFIELD C()H£ESPO,'\DE\CK. PiZnsfcr Ji'Oryahiziti'jn of i/u Court of Common J'ltits—Tom Dytr & tichtmt for Africiuizing Chicago • The Iftmbtr for IViU: a Xozei Quest ion —lmjtrocid Mamurs and Jldbi'.i of Lt'jidators. Sr£if criELD, 11L, Jan. 2d, There are two projects already developed for the re organization of the Court ot Common l'»eas in Chicago. Mr. C. lieckwith's contcm | plates the appointment of one add tional Judge by the Governor, and tho election of the same oilicer by the people quadrannnally thereafter ; ; the cpnointaient of a Chancellor for the equity j cases ; and such other changes as may be necea ! 6ary for facilitating tbu buaintad of that import out tribunal. Mr. Ui2gina has n bill that pro vides for the election by the people, primarilv, of two additional Judges, with the same powers cow wielded by Judge Wilson, und with concur rent jurisdiction—one of whom may do •• cham bers buoineba" while a second is engaged in the trial of equity cases, and the third is at work in the court of law. The bill is drawn in accord ance with that by which the Superior Court of New \ ork ia organized. Neither of the gentle men who are raovirg in the matter propose to unseat Wilson; but the imperative ne cessity for increasing the jadicial machinery of our city, will compel him to accept two asso ciates who will divide with h m the munificent puy that he now receives. Ex-Mayor Dyer in here as the representative of the Chicago Democracy ; and it is understood that he will detnucd, us a party measure, very important amendments of the city charter. The plan elaborated for giving Lim and his partisans the control of the city, and for indefinitely in creasing taxation, has not yet seen the l'ght; but it is understood that it embraces the follow ing : 1. The d-vicioa of the city iuto twetty-one wards. 2. The aunexatiou of Hridgeport and the parts thereunto adjacent. 3. The creation of three Police Commission ers who will exercise the power now wielded by the Muyor; and 4. Tbe organization of a Board of I'ublio Works, of three or more persons, to whom will be entrusted tbe duties now discharged so ably and satiefactori-y by the Sewerage Commission ers and the Water Commissioners, "as well as the labor now performed by the City Superin tendent. Mr. Dyer has no hesitation in saying that these ere purely partisan measures for bringing Chicago under the rule of his political Iriends, aud that they will be passed as such. It remains to be seen whether in opposition to tbe wishes ol all the local representatives and a large mrjorlty of their constituents of all parties, in the absence cf any demand of tbe proper i>u tLorities tor cuch action, and without any real tiecessity for tbe changes proposed, the Legis lature w:ll do a thing as shameless as this re quired at their bands. Let us see how these s.icklers for popular soverignty in the Territo r.es will treat the question at home. It is said that trouble iii regard to tho right to his seat of the Kepubiican member of the 11-use from Will, is likely to arise. Tbe case is th.s: lion, lliram Norton some years ago was 0 resident of Canada, and while there became a cit zjn and was elected to the Colonial Parlia mint, in which he played u conspicuous and honorable part. Now the question arises: Does his former profession oi allegiance to the Cro-rn disqualify- him, an American by birth and residence, from bold'.ng the otlicc to which he h;s been elected ! Tbe question is a novel 1 one. 1 oui not awar<* that it ever been de- 1 bated; una though there can be no doubt of the 1 final decision of the House, if bis case should come up for discussion, the different opinions whicL it will call out will excite attention. Mr. Norton will prove himself a capital legislator; his afe, experience in Lffairp, especially in com- 1 merce and finance, and his general ability, will give lim a frout rank among his peers. It issife to say that the Legislature about to meet * ill, in both its branches, be one of the ablyst itiat ever assembled in the State. In tbe contest that preceded its election, both parties put forward their most unexceptionable if not their ablest men; and tbe result is a House and Senate which would do honor to any State in tbe L'a.on. The Democracy are represented with mcch more ability in the Senate than in the Loner House; but even in the latter the material is far above the average. The improve ment in manners and habits of the legislators is not the loost grat.lying of the evidences cf pro gress. The day for popularity to follow unlim ited driiking, unmitigated cursing and such other eviiences of barbarism, bos gone by ; and in legislative circles, as well as in tbe admirable society ol the Capital, the observance of the proprieties of dress, language and demeanor, are not lets necessary than in Chicago or St. Louis. Hree in a bed and fourteen in a room, and other iees exclusive and gregarious habits that prevailed in tbe olden time, have gone out with the exclusive bog and hominy diet, the whisky bottle and card table. No man now in becoming i legislator need cease to appear and act the gentleman. Value of Exports of Produce, Live Stock, Arc., in 185 H. Uelow wil. be found a statement of the princi pal articles (f produce, provisions, llTe stock, A.c., exported east from Cnicago in ISSS. Tho valuation of these articles, as will be seen, amounts to n-arly twenty millions of dollars. If we were to ucd the value of our entire exports, the amouut vould bo swelled greatly beyond this sum. Ai it is our desigu, however, to give only those iteas, the great bulk of which are sent.east, and therefore go to clear of!' western indebtedness, ve have limited onr list to articles generally coniidered western staples in our 1 markets: Artic.'i*.

Auother Aliasing Steamer. The steamer ll r <ue-, belonging to the German Lloyds, sailed from Bremen for New York, on tbe stb of December, and has not since been heard from. Serious apprehensions are felt for her safety. Three c.tizena of Chicago are re ported as having beet on board—Herman Baer, Julius Wieke and Wm. Wescher. THE CITY. The Annual Review. The demand for our Annual Commercial Jie view of Chicago for 1659 has exhausted the large extra edition of tbe Dailt Frxss and Tribd.vk, of Saturday, Jan. lit, containing the same. The Review will be found in the Wkcklt Pekss asd Tbibcsb issued to-day, of which we hare an extra edition ample enongh to supply the orders of our friends. To be had in wrappers ready for mailing, at our counting-room. No. 48 Clark street, over Geo. Smith & Co.'s Bank. tSF See announcement of matters of interest to stockholders of Western Marine and Fire In surance Company. Lakcbkt.— A man named William Keenan is in jail in default of S3OO bail, for the larceny of a gun. U. S. Cocbts.—The continued December term of these Courts opens in this city tbe present week. The jnries will be empanelled on Thurs day. CoiLPLiiiKSTAEr.— On New Year's day the employees at tbe Custom House, through F. C. Russell, presented a gold headed cane, suitably inscribed to U. S. Collector D. F. Strotber of this port. Wjsll Donb.—Fourteen thousand dollars it is said were realized as the proceeds of tbe Fair held during Christmas week for the benefit of the Young Men's Christian Association, to be devoted to the erection of a build ing suited and designed for their use. Past Couk.—A boy who cannot yield to the influences of the excellent Superintendent of the Reform School, Rev. D. B. Nichols, is in a des perate condition indeed. One of these incur ables is George Turner, who has ran away seven times frcm the Reform School, and was yester day sent to Bridewell to work ont a line of $lO. £sf~ The ladies of the West Presbyterian Church tako this opportunity of returning their tbaoks to those citizens of Chicago, who so libe rally patronized their " Christmas Carol," on the evening of the 24th December, and beg to inform their friends and tbe public generally that after deducting expenses there remained for the funds of the congregation a balance of SCCO. Stealing at tub Fibs.—On Monday a man named Henry Foote was arrested in tbe act of carrying cfT an armful of hardware, belonging to the stock of Becker «fc Dean, whose establishment was destroyed in tbe Clark street fire on that day. He claimed he was only removing them for safe keeping, when the Justice taking his cae from Henry Foote himself, sent him, the said Henry, to Jail in default of ssoo.bail forthe i same purpose. t-g" Tuppen means wiiat he says. Just now he is filling a large space in the public eye by bis enterprising way of pushing forward his an nouncement of a business change, and conse quent advantage to purchasers in the clothing trade. Those who do not believe wbatTappen says cin easily settle the matter by a call, and all who call are sure to settle on bargains. The stir made really indicates what is the case, that a superb stock of goods are being sold,out cheap. Tub Absconding U. S. Dsrurr Marshal.- We learn that Dr. Matthew?, late one of Ex. U. S. Marshal Davidson's deputies, who, at tbe expiration of bis officiul career suddenly ab sconded with about SB,OOO in his possession, has turned up by returning and giving himself into the hands of the oilicers at Monmouth in this State. He has been tbe object of a most diligent and persevering search, on th* part both of Chicago and St. Louis oilicers, and has for some time past been privately lurking in tbe vicinity of St. Louis. Wearied at length of such a life, he came forward voluntarily and surrendered himself up. A Bakeer's Erboe.—One Lyons, a dealer in still milk, residing in the southern part of the city, who has been in the habit of selling bis * t chan<je u for currency at the banking offices, some days since sold $123 in silver coin at L G. Barber's on Clark street, receiving therefor through a mistake of tbe banker, $229, a "trifle over" of some magnitude in these times. After the discovery of the mistake Lyon was found by some search, and pleading entire ignorance to the charge, was arrested and brought before Justice Milliken. The case is an unusual one. Lyons is said to be too ignorant to count money, and that his accounts even are kept by otherv. " Union is String™."—For union to be strength the doctrine of affinity must be fully observed; there must also be in each of the el ements qnalities, not alone relative, but inde pendent, which shall give to the result of union what neither element alone possessed before the union. And all and several of the above condi tions are complete»y answered which in tbe just consummated union blends the valuable expe rience, the sterling reputation, the right excel lent qualities of head and heart of Judge Bell, with the established success and indefatigable energy of Messrs. Bryant & Stratton—an union in Chicago of 11 Bell's Commercial College'' with that of Bryant & Stratton, and an union of the proprietors under tbe name and style of Bryant, Bell h. Stratton. Messrs. Bryant & Stratton's elegant suite of rooms in Larmon Block, on the corner of South Clark and Washington streets, will be retained by the new firm, and there the familiar face of Judge Bell may be found, and bis presence and labors be invaluable to the institution to which the accession will give a freah success and pros perity. BiGQAOB.—The age of railroads has advanced into the dignity of distinct departments, we had almost said sciences, in the divisions of itsbusi nesß. Experience has been gained. Some of it dearly bought, and now, on all well regulated roads the same unbending, well-adjusted system controls and guides the working of the various and myriad details, and all parts are strictly parts of one intelligent whole. And the results of this system are marvellous, when compared with the best results of former days. Think of a Stage Company, a quarter of a cen tury since, transacting its business for a twelve month without a single claim for a lost trunk or band-box gone astray. And yet we have that model of well-managed roads, the Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy giving from its Baggage De partment a statement of tbe year ISSS, showing the handling of ninety-six thousand pieces cf baggage without one single instance of loss to or claim from a passenger, and but $5 paid for damage, and that for injuries to the same by a car being thrown from the track. Well and handsomely done for the employees of tbe C. B. Ji Q. R. R., well done for its managers and its stockholders. A List or New Ybar's Calls.—On Saturday, a man named George ..Gardiner, takicg the ad. vantage of tho season ot calls, made his way into the premises of Michael Keboe, on tie cor ner of Randolph and State street, and not only that, bnt he further very improperly presented himself with a new overcoat, valued at sl2, which he found in the balk He was arrested and examined yesterday, and held to bail in SSOO. Akin to the above exploit was that of Patrick B)88, who attempted to make off with aa armiul of overcoats from the hall of O. H. Salisbury's Boarding House, No. 240 Madison street He was overhauled, and locked up yesterday in de fault of S3OO. And still another of the 6ame class of opera tors. On Monday evening a colored man named George Greer was arrested, charged with hav ing entered tbe hall of D. B. Blakesley, No. 45 Michigan Avenue, while tbe boarders were at tea, and snatching two valuable overcoats off of the hooks, belonging to T. D. Radcafl and G. W. Watson. The coat belonging to Mr. Rad cliff was found in possession of Greer when ar rested, and when questioned by the Captain as to where he obtained it, be could only answer tbat he must have won it in a hnrry from some pUce, and at a raille. Greer was committed in default of SSOO bail yesterday morning to await triaL Two other colored persons still at large, are said to be implicated with Greer in the same class of operations. The warning oar housekeepers may and should deduoe from the above is, the better at tention to the security of ball doors. ■CHICAGO, VEMESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1859. Death or Coablis N. naKcaasoK.—Oor en tire community was saddened yesterday by the painful intelligence of the decease of a late high- ly esteemed and widely known merchant ot our city, than whom few held a higher or more en- S e viable place in onr mercantile circles, the senior k, partner of the firm of C. X, Henderson k Co., who expired at the Clifton House at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, after a brief bnt severe ill ne£s, re Mr. Henderson was in the prime of life, and yet among tbe older merchants of our young rs city, whose growth he bad witnessed and aided, and in the ranks of whose businesj men none than he, were more highly esteemed for those qualities which need in a high degree to blend to B t produce tho pattern of the Christian merchant and gentleman. Mr. Henderson was a native of Connecticut, and the obsequies paid last evening over bis re is mains were in escort to their removal for inter if ment among the graves of his kindred. The funeral service was performed by Rev. Dr. Pat terson, of the Second Presbyterian Church, a . and attended at the Clifton Hoose by a nutner ons concourse of the friends of the deceased. h As a token of respect the wholesale stores on South Water and other leading streets were e closed throughout yesterday afternoon. De> ! # ceased leaves a wife and two children. Codbt cr Comvox Plias.—The January term of the Cook County Court of Common l'leas opened on Monday. ! B Two cases of more than usual interest will r occupy the Court this wetk. That ot Curran f cs. Beach is a suit instituted for a lad, by his e next friend, against a well known city medical j practitioner, claiming damages iu slo,oilo for Malpractice, in amputating an arm of the pl&in tifl", no sufficient cause alleged to have existed B for the same, 8 The other case ia the suit brought by Elisha W.

A hearee was summoned and carriages were ip. attend- aucc Cor the last obsequies, when ftom some ap pearances in the face of the corpse,• proceedings were stayed and ijjedical aid sum moned, when the case was seen to be one of sus pended animation, and after some hours of judi cious and skillful treatment, the vitality was re stored, and Mr. Powell is now doing well.

That the Common Council has no power ' except that which is expressly granted in the j charter, or which results trom a fair construc s tion of the powers expressly granted. That a power to regulate, amend and control the streets 1 of tbe city is legislative in its nature and design ed to be exercised from time to time as the pub* j lie exigencies may require, and the Common Council has no authority under the charter to enter into any contract by which that power may be impaired or surrendered. I 2. Tbat the ordinance in question undertakes by contract with them to confer rights and priv ileges npon the grantees, in tbe streets therein wood not common to the public, and ia tho n- ture of a franchise; rights exclusive is their ie nature, and for a period which maj become per* petaal, without the consideration of a dollar, and which if validamoant to aa absolute extia ir guisbment of the power of legliMea and con. b* trol vested by the charter in tne Common Coon- Jr cil over bo much of said streets as is embraced within the terms of s&id ordinagte.

Tnat a franchise is an ex ll elusive privilege or right o! a public nature, vested in an individual for the eojoyment of > some liberty or privilege not common to the whole people, and can only be conferred by the government itself, or by its express authority.

That said Ordinance is also illegal, as in express violation of the Charter in the follow ' ing respeet: :• The Charter provides that the Common Coun cil shall have power to license, regulate and tvp prm hackmsn, draymen, carters, porters, omni bus urivers, cabmen, packers, carmeo, and all others tchomay pursue It it occupations, urith or s tii'Jiout rthiclet, arid pracriht their compensation.

The Charter provides Hut the Common . Cuimcil >tiu.ll have power to authorize the .Mayor or Oilier proper officer of the city, to grant and is. sue licences, and direct the minaer ol issuing and j legistenns thereof, and the lees 10 be paid there . Xoliccnxe shall be granted for more than one year. CJau.-e 13, Seetiuu 40, Chapter 4. The licensing power contained in this clause j embraces the subject matter under consideration ; but lij this Ordinance the Common Council sub vert this entire provision by a.s-«umms,' in effect to Kraut and bsue the license Itself, and lor a period greatly exceeding that authored by the charier, viz: lor a period of ttveuty-Uve jean*,in manilest di-regjrd ut the express word* ol the Charter limiting the liceu»c to one, and prescribing the niann-.rin which licenses shall be granted and is f-ued, viz : l»y the Mayor or other proper officer of ibc city. Win-re a power is given to a corpora- Hun, and a particular method is prescribed in which it shall be exercised, the power cannot be legally exercised in auy otherrray. s:h. That whether fee in the etr«eu is in the city or'not is a question wholly immaterial; that in either case tne pow er granted to the Common Council is the same ; they are the mere trustee's of a public easement and their power over it is one of control and government for the use of the public at large aod authority to farm out the same to contrac tors and companies is not implied within the power. Such a power can only be obtained through express grant of the Legislature ; but whether it may be exercised without the con sent of the owners of property along the street ts a mixed question of law and fact which the Court is not called upon to consider or de termine—ls Bjrb.Sup.
