The Administration Yields.
A raajorlly In thn present Congress have
so frequently evinced thuir determination to
refuse the Secretary oftbc Treasury tbe power
to issue bills paytblc for the daily wants of
government, without at the same time secur
ity Euch a modification of the Tarlif as would
promise a restoration of tbe national pros
perity, that the Admiaistralion has been ter
rified Into a concession upon which bangß im
portant results. Only yesterday it seemed to
be certain that Congress would adjourn with
out any change in the rales of duties, aud
that Mr. Buchanan would bo compelled to
call the next Congre?s together without de
lay ; or attempt the novel experiment of car
rying on the government without credit, cur
reucy or coin. From the tone of the Union,
of yesterday, an extract from which may be
fv-u ul under the telegraphic bead, it would
fd m that the Administration ha 9 caved iu,
u -.1 hat It now consents to a revival or the
T.tMtf of 184C,for tnrec years, coupling the
cui cession with the coudition,that there shall
b2 u further Issue of Treasury-notes.
We hope that no man ia favor of a change
in the commercial policy of the countty will
accept tho Presidential otter. The present
pecuniary necessities of tbe Administration
arc of the smallest possible consequence.
Thsy may be relieved or not, and the results
in either case will not be particularly dis
tressing. Bat u change of tbe Tariff for the
time indicated—too long if the object be sim
ply the replenishing of the Treasury, and too
frhurt if it be iutended to stimulate manufac
turing industry—involves consequences far
more important. If the Tariff is to be al
tered, let it be done upon principles that will
bear the test of time, and in such a way that
the capital invested in mining and manufac
tures will not be subject to a sliding tcalo of
Prudential wants. The country demands an
intelligent and deliberate revision of onr
commercial pystem; aud if Mr. Buchanan
and his advisers stand in the way, another
turn or two of the screw will compel compli
ance with the wishes of those who made them
what they are.
Tlie Campaign.
Never since the orgnnizitionof the parly
has a campaign started off with such precis- 1
ion and certainty of success for the Republi- *
can nominee?,as the preseuU Thercnomlna- 1
lion o! Mayor Haines has been hailed with
enthusiasm throughout every word ia the city. f
Hundreds of voters who never haudlcd a Re- ]
publican ballot before, are now cordially «
Hjppnrting the ticket, and not only so, but i
are ready to "back up their opinions" to i
any amouut. The Democracy have given up ]
the hope of electing a single candidate on
their general ticket, aud ate undetermined
whether to try the dodge of a "citizens™ 1
movement, or to nominate a new caudidate
for Mayor out ot their own ranks. It peems
to be settled that their prcfent candidate
must have his shoes pulled off aud go Into
the hands of the larricrs, to make room for a
faster nag. The Irish are in an uproar, de
claring they will teach Sheahau & Co.ales
son not soon to be forgotten, for the unbear»
able insults {[heaped upon them In the late
pro-slavery convention.
Look out for majorities next Tuosduy!
John C. Haines.
The hboriog classes will support the Republi*
can tickvt this in greater numbers tliau at
auy former election. If the are anlici
patiog Haccenti through the supposed luke-warm
uchs or defectlou o< disappuiuled Republicaus.tbey
will soon be mightily undeceived. For the loss of
every such vote tlier.? will be twenty others from
tbo-c who have heretofore blicdly supported the
pro-slavery ticket, to supply its place. That the
adiuiuistraLioD of Major Ha<nes has been satisfac
tory unJ popular with the mechanics and laborers
<»;' Chicago, cauuot be dented or gainsayed. The
s.vret of his popularity is the general belief that
he is the pour mau's friend. Be has helped them,
and tiicy are grateful to him. The sneers and in-
Uftidos of Wcutwortb, aud the malevolent falsifi
cation of tbe Time*, cannot shake the confidence
oraHzuatc the friendship of the masses from him.
He his acted well his part, has been true to
the interests of tbe city, and he has been faith
ful to the working men, famishing them em
ployment or assistance whenever it has been in
his power. There has not been a particle of snob
br>ry in his boots, but he hai always behaved him*
wlf a* a plain, straightforward and conscientious
officer, meeting all classes of citizens on the same
h-vul,aad keeping an eje single to the public
good.
Mayor Haines has bad a year's experience to
aid hie steps in the future. It requires consid
erable time and much close study to become
acquainted with tbe routine and duties of the
Mayor's effise. These he has mastered. In
commencing his second year he will be able to
correct many errors and avoid mistakes that
may have been committed during his first tenn.
He will know how to apply the remedy to abases
and to remove the cause of complaints, that
from time to time arise in all municipal govern
ments. The ensuing year can be deroted wholly
to the promotion of public interests, and we
doubt not it will be. We anticipate ode of the
best and most popular administrations the city
bos ever esjored. John C. Haines has no mo
tive to swerve him from the straight path of
daty. He has the highest incentives to prompt
him to make his administration useful and sat
istaetory. He has it in his power to leave the
mayoralty in March, 1860, the most popular and
esteemed chief executive that Chicago has had
for manr yeara. We are not only sanguine of
bis re-election, but that his second year will
prove ft model administration.
Collecting Taxes.
The Act the Legislature giving
Township Collectors longer time ia which to col
lect taxos, so far as it afiects Cook county reads as
follows:
Sec. 5. That the revere! Township Collectors of
tho counties of De Kalb and Cook shall have to

to the County Treasurers, inrtead of the 15 Ik day
of February. Tue provisions of this act shall ex
tend to tbe Collector of Revenue in counties not
adopting the Township Organization. Provided,
That tbe sureties of any collector in this State
Khali not be released by reason of the passage of
this act
It will be sees that the time for paying in
Cook connty without penalties has almost expired'
Location or the Next state Fair.
After an animated contest in the Executive
Board of tbe State Agricultural Society, the loca
tion of the next State Fair was assigned to Free
port—notßockford,as some of car contempora
ries have it. Mr. George W. Gage, of this city
made a trip to Springfield for the purpose of se
curing it for Chicago, and was so far successful as
to come within one vote of it on the first ballot.
This rote, which was supposed to hare been se*
cored, was unluckily cast for Galeshnrgh the first
time, as a matter of compliment. Chicago baring
failed on lhls ballot the chance was lost, and tbe

Jolict, Thursday, Feb. Slth, 1659.
Dear Pre si and Tribune.
Never since Stoke Pogis has there been any
parallel to the distress acd excitement that baa
for the week past hung orer our devoted com
munity. A condition of eiT&lrs has existed suf
ficient to more to compassion even the bowels
of oar stone quarries, and what is worse, dread
and donbt hare sot ret given place to that hope
which the proverb aays is "hanher td after by
the aoat," and—jee, we ore in an awfal ease.
Joliet may be deemed a peaceful commanity;
it is so in the records, and neither domestic
wars nor rumors of wars have ever affected
oar city bonds. We art> patriotic too. With
one hand on the pillars of the American Union,
and the other on that self respect which is the
only sore bolster to oar State rights, we have
ever been read? at the call of onr country to
moke eur bed with those who die for their coun
try, without the slightest regard for the ques
tion of funeral expenses.
" Mut tehai it our country 7"* That is the
question, and jast now or recently it has got
rather mixed in this region; individual mem
bers of school districts, wards, the city, the
county, the congressional and representative
district, the State, and the General Govern*
ment, in cue of a jar in these, what S. Weller,
Jr., wonld call " veels within reels/' where
may the patriots look for a decision among con
flicting responsibilities. What shall they do in
such a crisis? The crisis bas occurred in Joliet,
and as lovers of onr common "kedntry" we
are in an agony lest a disruption, here com
mencing, may tear in two our beloved Union.
On the other hand; can we brook insnlt to our
commonwealth.
The news will course over the State like a
prairie iire, that Illinois has been grievously as*
saulted, insulted, shaken nntil every tooth chat
tered and assailed u a posterori," a few inch
es belowthe ornamental buttons of the coat-tail,
in the person of one of her Deputy-Sheriffs, and
ell tbis by no less a person than James Buchan
an, President of the United States, by bis next
friend (alas, poor Jeems, he has no other sort), a
U. S. Deputy-Marshal. Farther, it is grievously
true that James Buchanan, represented as above,
was arrested by the indignant state of Illinois,
and set at hard labor in breathing his requests
through the key hole of a cell in our lock-up.
Pen, ink and paper was wisely denied him, or
he wonld doubtless, ere this, have brought down
ft charge of dragoons in answer to a charge of
assent and battery.
1 sit down at the earliest moment to advise
' yon of our perilous condition, and trust that no
distorUd statement of this may reach " the
marines" "in your U. S. Hospital, or blood
shed may become a precipitate. I propose to
give you the tale witbont any varnish on it.
Here are the facts:
Some weeks since & hardware dealer of this
city, J. H. Hills, failed. The creditors were
some of them hungry, and all were will to re*
ceire their dues. Several executions were lodg
ed in the hands of onr Sheriff Leach, sued out
in our Connty Court, and npon two or three of
them, in the aggregate no large amount, he had
actually levied npon the property. Later than
these a judgment was obtained in the United
States Circuit, before Jndge Drummond of your
oity.
The plaintiff* were Norton & Co., New York
creditors of Mills for $2,500. Early tbis week, one
of the Chicago attorney* of Norton k Co. came to
this city with Deputy U. S. Marshal Boyer. The
£wo " lay round" quietly, ascertained the amount
of the executions actually levied by Sheriff Leach,
and actually bought np the whole. The Sheriff
had previously stated that he held the goods on
these levies and no others, and he surrendered the
same, unsuspectingly, only to learn a few minutes
later Unit the whole Army ao«l Navy of the Unitc-d
States, from Generalissimo Winfield Scott to un
lirceclied cadets and middies, were frowning big
guus and little guns at him in his attempt to die*
possess U. S. Marshal Boyer.
Boyer looked at the county officer mildly
through his glasses, and asked him if he had ever
been to the White House. (Most of yoor Chicago
officials enjoy the advantage of several trips
thither, and brag of the quality of the tea aud
muffins at the Presidential Mansion.) Then the
Deputy Marshal went further, and instructed the
Sheriff that the American Eagle didn't care a
penny, "uary nickel" for county seals and pro
cesses, but could cat them witbont discomfort at
the rate of a pecker diem, with other more £olid
fare. Then—the couuty succumbed.
'-he deputy of James Bucbanau then left his
priucipal to be represented by Deputy William
Faugruan, and "took hi* journey into a far coun
country," even to your city, secure tint the Gov
ernment was safe ia its grip on the hardware.
But Shenff Leech was undaunted. The Prairie
Stale was good enough for him, aud if any or her
sisters chose to cut loose from her, he was ready
to sec her play the game with destiny alone. He
got out an—injunction.
Mr. U. S. Fangman in peaceful possesion,
proud in his consciousness of representing
Uncle Sam, was suddenly surprised at being
punched up by the injunction, which being ,
a new thing to Mr. Fangman, he the more im
plicitly believed the statements of the County
oflicer, that an injunction was of the nature of
an "ad damnum," something always ready to
go off percussion, that it couldn't be held for
an instant, nor wouldn't keep over night, and
that, once, one exploded and killed ft man.
The deputy left.
He went to the telegraph office for wire-drawn
instructions from Chicago, and was told in ft
message to stand by his gun. United States
came back to the store, and found Illinois in
possession, in the person of Deputy Sheriff
O'Brien. Fangman was human as well as ra
tional. He taw be had been dnped, or too bas>*
ty. He bared bis bosom to death and dashed
in;—there was "asmart chunk" of a fight, a
ripping, verbal and integumentary, and—l shod
der to record it—our beloved Commonwealth
was sent flying into the street, with three legs
attached to its spine, the supplementary one
being boot-shod at the point of spinal contact.
United States barricaded the doors and sat
down to sleep, bnt shortly got op to answer
negatively a polite invitation to *'come out of
that" and be arrested on ft warrant for sasault
and battery npon Illinois. Then the indignant
Commonwealth grew more urgent and battered
in the door. United States drew his revolver
and fired three balls. Evidently his purpose
was midway between suicide and murder, for
the missiles placed in the angle of equal dan
ger his own head and that of Sheriff Leech. Did
Illinois fire back ? There are those who are
ready to swear they smelt two different kinds of
powder burned on this terrific hour, the hour of
10 o'clock, Wednesday evening. Nombers car
ried the day, and carried off the Marshal to du
rance rile, to await examination the next morn
ing.
Will it be wondered at, that when early dawn
brought day, and the milkmen and morning
papers, all Joliet was in disturbance. As nearer
home to all, the general feeling stnek by the
State. The money market was seriously affect
ed. Consols (the funded canal and railroad lia
bilities of a late distinguised citizen) sunk visi
bly, and one of onr leading quarrymen gare
orders that no more powder ahoold be used for
blasting until further orders.
A dispatch sent to Chicago brought one of
the Attorneys in the Norton case to the rescue.
At the hour of IK this day, the whole city
turned ont to the examination of the U. S.
Deputy before Justice Hawley, which was held
in our largest court-room.
A terrible excitement prevailed. Our bar,
almost to a man, gare their adherence to the
State, and most of the bar-keepera took the
tame ground, which went largely to sustain the
spirited position of onr community. Though
the town was not strictly "*n arm*'' as ft whole,
your correspondent aaw at the examination
nearly a score of tender citizens that were so—
infant Hannibal*, doubtless brought np toswear
ftgainat the invaders of State rights, which some
of them will infallibly do.
Just at this point in the excitement, and In
sty letter, a motion for eontinusnce on the part
of the counsel for the defendant prorokingly
lets fall the curtain, to the disappointment of
Joliet and jonr readers. The case will be tried
on Taeaday next, and in the meanwhile, if there
it any appearance of ft movement of U. 8.
troops on Joliet, the most fearful retail* will
eesue. Hearen ae»d James Boehanaa reason
Md forbearanoe. We will sol to trifled with.
1 t . A.FB,
No Difference at all.
It is currently reported that Mr. Oilman has
been prerailed npon to withdraw his name as
candidate for Mayor on the pro slarery ticket;
and that said withdrawal will be published in
season for the tax-eaters to try a better dodge
than nominating ft Republican for the first office
on their ticket. Well,'it makes no difference.
They will not probably find a man to make ft
better ran than Douglas did four months ago.
WThfi Timet is fooling its readers by publishing
ridiculous criticism? on the Comptroller's Finan
cial Report, garbling his figures and perverting
his statements. It is republishing its former Don
sense on the same subject, on the idea that they
are good enough Morgans until after the election,
when it will make no diQerence it tbiuk9, even
should its readers lind out the deception practised
upon them. But the Timet is whistling
the wind. It isnot in the pins to defeat the Re
publican ticket.
The Prospect of War ia Europe*
{From the N. Y. Evening Post]
"An intelligent American, now in Paris, who has
access to tbe best sources of information, writes
the following, in a private note, d<ited Feb. 3d, on
tbe present political aspects of Earope:
" Here, I think, the sentiment is almost univer
sal, that war must come—that the Etnperor is de
termined upon it—that it may be delayed a little
time, but that it is the only termination to exist
ing troubles.
" It is undoubtedly true that the utmost activity
prevails in all the French arsenals, naay yards aud
dockyards. A Iftrge additional number of men
have been employed, and tbe work is prosecuted
with tbe greatest energy by rchys of bauds, work
in# extra hours, and nights as well as days.
Arms, munitions anJ provisions are accumulated,
and are transported exactly to thOße points
where, if war was to exist to mo-row, they
would be wanted to morrow. The army and navy
have both been reinforced—large additional num
bers of men have been added to the artny ou the
southeastern line of France. lam told, on what
I believe to be entirely reliable authority, that
the government has recently nurcbast-d twenty
fire thousand horses; and 1 also hear, as a
rumor, and which seems to be confirmed by
some circumstances, and certainly is credited
by rery intelligent and generally well informed
persons, that en army of SIB,OOO men is on its
way nominally to Algiers, really to reinforce
tbe garrison in Cirita Veccbia and Rome, and
thus to secure an approach toward Ancona and
a morement in tbe direction of Venice. Tbis
reinforcement will make the French army in
ltome 50,000 strong.
*' It is asserted, with the utmost confidence,
that a treaty of alliance, ofiensive and defen
sive, has been actually signed between France,
Russia and Sardinia. It is impossible to know
the actual truth with regard to this, tor tbe
government keeps it own counsels—but a gen
tleman who has mere than ordinary means of
getting ut tbe truth that is kept from tbe public
eye. told me, two daja since, that be 'had no
doubt of it,' although be could not positively
assert it."
TheSoothern Pacific Railroad Wrangle
The wrangle over tbe abstraction called tbe
Southern Pacific Railroad, has been re-traos
ferred from Texas to New Orleans. The Ddta
of tat city, of the 14th, says:
"List night tbe usual audience of victimized
stockholders—still more rictimized newspaper
reporters, and tbe lovers of combative sports—
was in attendance at Odd Fellows' Hall, to hear
the champions in this grand scrimmage of
words, figures, deeds of trust, compromises,
&o. Our pleasant and pacific ancient friend,
Thomas E. Price, Esq., graced tbe Presidential
chair, and on the stand was Dr. Jeptha Fowlkes,
looking more lean and Cassius-liko than ever,
flanked by the Attorney of tbe "sold outs," Mr.
Richardson, a respectable looking gentleman,
with that dissatisfied aspect of alawcrwbo has
been non-suited. The fun was kept up till a
late hour. Tbe squabble promises to last as
long as the siege ot Troy, and will end about as
progtably."

CHICAGO, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1859.
Grand Ratification Meeting.
THE CITY TICKEXjj|tii)ORSED.
THE BEPDJSLICiN BA&iY AT IKCHAtIUS
INSTITUTE HALL.
The demonstration at Mechanic's Institute
Hall last evening, was a noble one in numbers,
despite of wind and weather, showing that at
the right heat Republicanism is above meteoro
logical inflaences, which we hope may hold true
through both the brief campaign and the day of
election.
! The. .weather has too often wrought
our opponents. .A rainy day or
one, and while Democracy lought knee
'' in mcd or snow abont tbe polls, Republicans
stayed tenderly at their firesides or office fires, or
trod gingerly the dirty streets In awe of mire and
miry/Crowds.
It was well begun last evening, when a noble
rally of Republicans braved tbe weather to attest,
at Mechanics' Institute Hall, their sympathy with
and support of the city ticket there formed on
Saturday. Let this spirit prevail throughout, and
the contest will be a short, merry and sure one.
Tho meeting was organized with Wm. Jones,
Esq , in the Chair, and G. W. Noble, Secretary.
We have not the space for the aeparate com
ment the speakers deserved. As a whole tbey
were characterized by a cordiality and ft seal
frequently responded to by cheers from their
Budience, and never has better feeling pre
vailed.
Messrs. N. B. Jndd, I. N. Arnold, John
Wentworth, John C. Haines, John Lyle King,
Geo. F. Crocker, J. K. Botsford, Bradley, A.
Kohn and J. N. Henricks successively as well
as successfully occupied the stand.
The following, letter was also- read from a dis-
Inguished aud sterHog Republican member of our
late State Legislature:
LETTISH FR3M EOK. L. S. CHUBCH. !
TacnosT Ho?3B, Frldiy EveV. Feb. SS, IV9.
Charles L. Wilson*, Esq.: lam unable to
leave my room, much less to be present at your
Ratification meeting, now being held; but with
; your permission, I submit for the consideration
of tbe meeting the following sentiment:
The Chicago L<compton Charter : Conceived
in the disordered imaginations of sour poli
ticians; born nuder the aunpiees of Egyptian
darkness, in the House ot Kepresentatives, at
Springfield; slain in the house of its birth on
the night of tbe 27th of J.nuary, by the arm of
the Cook County delegation; laid out and cof>
fined by frieuds of tbe delegation in attendance;
kindled by Sheaban, of tbe Chicago Times : On
tbe election day, next Tuesday, let it be buried
by tbe free electors of Chicago, so deep that its
skeleton can never be disinterred, even to aid
the science of doctors in setting "broken legs!"
If you desire, you may give the abore a
reading. Yours in haste,
L. S. CnoBCH.
As a whole, the meeting was a brilliant success*
a startling one to any with whom the wish may
have becu father to the thought, that the ticket in
the flfld was not the cboloe, and borne as the
standard at the head of tbe serried ranks of our
Republicans.
SPBrxa asd Sraisa Thadb.—Superadded to
the meteorological tokens of Spring, come the
preparations for that season, among the busi
ness community. It may seem to many a work
of supererogation to call attention to tbe dry
uoods house of Cooley, Farwell St Co., whose
advertisement appears in another column.
Their long connection with tbe trade in the
West is the best notice that can be given, for it
is practical, and has a meaning in it, which
country merchants will do well to study. One
stable friend is better than forty vacillating ones,
and it is a good deal so In commercial transac
tions. Those houses which the frosts of a do
zen winters and the scorching furnace of the
late panic have left without the amell of fire or
the wrinkles of age, are to the trade what
Washington was to politics—the cornerstones
and beacon light in mercantile history, with
which all who know the worth of a clean ledger
aid a fruitless balance sheet, will do well to
make their connections in the matrimony of
commerce.
Cooley, Wadsworth & Co., stand prominent
on this list in tbe West, in their line, and are
now filling up their splendid six story business
place (the largest west of New York) with ft
most full aud attractive stock of dry goods,
Yankee notions, hosiery, etc., to meet the wants
of tbe spring trade.
Far e-well benefits come offin their salesrooms
every day, worthy the name and the fame of the
house, and profitable to those who participate.
The music, we are told, is played to the tune of
"small profits*' and tho banquet served op to
the motto of "prompt pay," and guaranteed to
suit the most fastidious, and we should say that
if any one could not be suited there, that they
had better choose aome other calling, or take
another lesson in the dry goods course in the
university of merchandise.
Focara Night or res Italiak Opera.—l Po-
RTTANt.—Last evening Bellini's noble opera of
IPuritani was given at McVicker's Theatre, to
the goodly numbers present, one the most mem
orable feasts enjoyed by a Chicago audience. .
Madame Cora de Wilborst, her second
pearance before our public in tbe character of El
vira added tojthe fresh laurels won on Thursdsy
evening as Lucia. No cast could have been bet*
ter than to give to tbe poet's touching creation,
Elvira, the beauty, grace, and charming acting,
and perfect vocalization of De Wilhorst, and
never was part better sustained.
Amodio, Junca and Nicola in the other princi
pal parts, each won golden opinions. The Lib*
erty duetto "Suoni la Tromba," of the two for
mer, was one of the gems of an evening stndded
with brilliant effects. The audience, notwith
standing the wretched condition of tbe weather
and the streets, was a large and brilliant one.
These evenings of ths Italian opera in its per
fection are an occasion to be slighted by no
lover of .music, and we are glad to believe that,
in the enthusiasm with which his splendid lib
erality and enterprise is received here,
kosch, than whom no other has placed under
more obligation the music lovers of Chicago, is
reaping a goodly reward from his seaaon among
us. So it should be, and Chicago be much the
gainer.

He was to have made his appearance before
an audience in his first entertainment is this

A Rascally Husband avd 80s xx Law.—A
yonsg German woman now at the American

against one John Wn. White, her husband, de

was Margaret Groaa; that they were married in
Cincion&ti on the 16:h inst. by a Jcstics of the
Peace; that he stole $95 from her mother; they
came to this city, and he then deserted her.
Mr. Viucok Fcn>.—Tbe amount still to be

been erroneously stated at $40,000.

Chicago Hat Maukbt aqaiit.—Since our last
week's issue, we have seen ample evidence that
somebody felt hit by our article last week, and
the stirring up it produced has brought out new
faots. We find thai not only are fictitious
certificates presented, but that certain ow
ners of scales give certificates of fictitious
weights, and in this.manner secure tbe custom
of hay deters. For instance, we know of one
honest man whose scales are sealed and who
weighs accurately. But he is too honest! An
other owner of scales in this vicinity makes a
load of bay weigh two or three hundred pounds
more than he does, gives certificates according
ly, and thus secures tbe weighing of the hay of
tbose who enter tbe city from that direction.
His scales, we are informed, have nerer been
sealed. Tbe friends -honut, good.neighbors of
the honest owner of scales, assure bim they
would weigh with him ii be would make their
loads weigb as much as the other man does.
They are honest dealers, forsooth! Tbey pay
a premium for heavy weights 1 It 10 also a fact
that hundreds of loads are sold in this market
that have never been weighed, and yet certifi
cates are shown of their weight. Honest dealers
are tbe snilisrers as well as tbe purchasers of
bay. Is there no bay inspector? Are there no
city scalea fortbe use cf the inipector ? Itseems
to us to be tbe right and duty of the sealtr of
weights and measures, in case no other provis
ion is made for the detection of these scound
rels, to look after this matter. Unless there is ,
some reform, we shall give the public the names
of some of these offenders.—PrairU Ihrmtr.
