CROTJEXDE.VS PLAN,
Senator Crittenden yesterday presented
bis plan of adjustment, which is suhstan*
tlally a re-enactment of the Missouri Com
promise. We infer from Mr. Crittenden's
remarks that he desires it to be understood
on general confidence principles that slave
ry shall hare the territory south of 30 deg.
30 min. This seems to us a quack remedy
—no less than staving olf an Important set
tlement a few years longer, merely for hick
of courage to meet it now. Whatever h
done, let us have nothing which is unable
to stand alone, bat requires bracing up
with private understandings and the assur
ances of gentlemen.
ILLINOIS.
The Illinois delegation in the House of
Representatives, yesterday, performed a
manly and prtriotlc duly, in assembling to
gether and resolving that tho Union mv*t
a7id thaU be presetted. The vote was unani
mous, although Mr, Lovejoy and Mr. Mor
ris were, for eomc reason, absent. There
is no ground for doubting that they
would have agreed entirely with their col
leagues on this point, if they bad been pres
ent. Tins, we repeal, is a good beginning.
The position they have taken is the one al
ready assumed by the entire State. It is
one in which they will be bravely support
ed by 1,700,000 people* whenever such sup
port becomes necessary.
SOUTH CABOUNA.
The small-pox has prevailed over theuis
unionrsts, nnd the South Carolina Conven
tion has incontinently fled from Columbia.
Several members were apprehensive Ic.st
the stampede should he cficctcd at the cost
of their dignity—in fact, they' feared that
outside barbarians would laugh nt them I
Cat the majority’ in favor of immediately
seceding from Columbia was overwhelm
ing
Previous to the adjournment a brisk de
bate sprang up on a motion to leicr the
question of an Ordinance to a Committee
—one party desiring to plr.ee the ic/iola bu
siness of the Convention h\ the hands of
such u Committee, and th% other favoring
the appointment of several committees to
consider the various details of secession.—
This is the first open manifestation of tv. o
hostile sections in the Palmetto Slate, one
of which goes straight for monarchical the
ories and the other for a semblance of dem
ocratic institutions. It is not exactly deer
which party carried its point, but we infer
from the dispatches that the monarchists
were successful

General Seoit on Secession.
[Fpccial DUpalcii to Uie N. V. Evening Port.]
Wasbikutun, Dee. IS.
General Scott has given the President an
elaborate opinion in reference to the present
condition of the military defences of tbe coun
try, and what should be dime iu view of pos
sible contingencies lie deprecates secession,
be begs his own Stale of Virginia lo pause
and bear the ills the Ins rather than tlytothot-c
she knows not of. Dul if scrafeiun occurs, he
says. It will result not in the formatiou of two,
but four distinct ualioualitie.*, Th(*c are, ns
near os I recollect, us follows: New York, New
England, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
lowaand Minnesota. Eveepr what 1 will next
mention, as one; the second will consist of
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Western Virginia, and
so along down the Blue lUdge, taking in West
ern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Arkansas. Kentucky, Missouri and
Texas. The third will consist of South Caro
lina, Georgia, East Florida, Eastern Virginia,
and. perhaps, Maryland and Delaware. The
Pacific Stales will constitute the fourth. Good
graclons!
The General treats the exclusion of the grain
growing States of the West from a direct com
munication with the Gulf of .Mexico, as on im
possibility. They will have free course to go
down the Mississippi, and will jurist upon
Pensacola as a nav-4 depot.
The General also gives an elaborate state
ment of the disposition of the military forces
of the nation, and the condition and needs of
the fortified places. It is an important paper,
and ought to be published.

VOLUME XIV.
OCB ■WASHINGTON LETTKB,
Probable Fallnre of tbo Crisis Com*
mlttce.
[Froth oar Own Correspondent.]
London is known ns the city of fogs, and
V ashlagtou should be culled the city of pan
ics and crises. We overage two big ones a day
besides several little ones thrown in to keep
the pot boiling. The Donn resolution went
off like a musket that does as much execution
*4 the breach as at the muzzle—it kicked back
badly—scaring the Republicans ond frighten
ing the fire-eaters. The latter have been pro
claiming that the North did not seriously in
tend to entertain any measure of conciliation.
The wish was father to the thought, and when
the Dutm resolution was passed the Are-eaten
were thunder-struck, lest something might
be proposed that would arrest the disunion
epidemic sweeping through the slave States.
At the same time the Republicans outside the
Committee were fearful tliat the resolution
looked to a surrender of the Territories to
slavery, and other ruinous and humiliating
concessions. Dut it was amusing to sec the
alarm depleted upon the countenances of the
Dlsunionlbts, lest the North should remove
their Intended grievances} and adopt the Baltl
more-Brcckihridgc platform. These men arc
resolved to leave the Union; they are opposed
to being conciliated; they do uot want thtlr
demands to he complied with. They inslat
upon a revision of the Constitution, giving to
slavery unheard of guarantees, because that
places the remedy beyond the power of Con
gress to adminslcr, knowing fuli well that the
people of the Free States will indignantly rc
f sc to make such sacrifices of their rights.
These men are dreaming of founding a great
slaveholding empire, extending from the
month of the Chesapeake to the Orouoco—
taking in Mexico and Central America and the
Islands of the Gulf. SiaVc-codes for our pres
ent territories and more stringent Fugitive
Slave laws arc matters of small consequence
in the eyes of the Utopian gentlemen, who
arc after a “big thing.’’. They want to get
clear of the checks and restraints thrown
around them in a union with free States. If
the cotton States are allowed to secede the
form of government is to be mondrclilcaL The
States are to to stripped of their sovereignly
and reduced to provinces. A centralized form
of government on the model of Franco Is to
be adopted. A large standing army will be
organized, to put down servile Insurrections,
and to crush any democratic manifestations
that the niggcricss whites may attempt A
President will first he elected for ten years
then for life, then crowned Emperor with a
titled nobility, an aristocracy, gentry, poor
white serfs, and African slaves. These wII
constiluie the grades of society. A censor
ship will be established over the press, pulpit,
and schoolmaster, and slavery and monarchy
will be set up and worshipped as institutions
emanating from oa high. Africa will bo an
nually drained of half u million of new slave.-,
to toko the place of those worn out and de
stroyed, and to extend over nc\vsblla, as rapid
ly as masters can be found to take charge of
them. Every disunion leader is a party to this
programme. They have therefore determined
to make the Union unendurable to the Free
States, if they arc forced to stiy in it, and if
they are let out, a government of the sortherc
described they will attempt to inaugurate.
The belief now generally prevails, that no
measure of adjustment can possibly be framed
tliat the Secessionists will tofleh. The Crisis
Committee hadaLng session yesterday, hut
came to no conclusion. The Republicans were
asked whether they would give up the Terri
tories to sl.ivciy to “save the Union,” and
they replied NEVER! They were asked next
if they would consent to “peaceable seces
sion. They replied tliat Lincoln's administra
tion would enforce the laws and collect the
publiu revenues at all the ports South os well
as North. “We will resist their collection,”
answered the Fire-Eaten?, “and wdge war
against you.”X“ Very we.l, if you think yon
“can whip Uncle Sam, try it. Your experience
“way make you wiser though sadder men.”
From all this your readers will perceive that
it is idle fur tbo North to offer any terms cf
pacification, short of unconditional surrender
to tho clave power. Indeed, Wigfall declared
inhtsiwodiys speech, that the Free Stale \
must not only give up the Territories to slave
ry, catch all runaway uiggers, or pay for them,
allow fclaveholUers to tiring their slaves with
them into the North, concede that the Con
stitution recognizes property in the bodies and
souls of men, (that nos his language'), hut hav
ing done all this, “you must,” ho said,
“change Northern sentiment, ceau to cjd
slavery n tenmg. You shall not permit men
“to nuke speeches against slavery within
“your borders. You shall not publish papers
“aud pamphlets, or preach sermons, or make
“stump speeches against ottr peculiar Inslilu
“ tiou. You ihj'f uiA —that’s the word I cbooso
“ to use.”
The whole tone and language of WlgtaU's
speech was insolent, violent aad insulting, hut
evidently reflects the sentiments and feelings
of the slave-drivers of the Colton, States.
The Fire-Eaters publicly gave ont that the
following Stales are determined to secede on
the days named, unless they conclude to keep
their Conventions in session until that of
Georgia meets, which is on the Slh of Janu
ary, when they will all go out together
South Carolina —Convention meets De
cember 17; will retire from the Confederacy
December IS.
Alabama—Conreul'on meets January 7; re
tires January 10.
Mississippi— Convention meets January?;
retires January 10.
Florida—Convention meets January S: ami
will probably retire with Alabama and Missis
sippi.
It is expected that Arkansas and Texas will
not be long behind them.
The various lire and military companies of
this city have been holding meetings, and with
great unanimity have pledged themselves to
blond by the Union, the stars and stripes, to
the bluer end, and to aid In putting down and
crushing auy treasonable scheme to the “Cock
ade Minute-Men M to prevent Lincoln's inau
guration. Tint such a purpose is on foot
there Is little doubt; but it will bo met with
crushing force. Gen. Cass's res gnation Is
producing great excitement, and is damaging
the dlsunionists terribly. Chicago,
Sister.”
A New Slap of the N'ortliwest.
In this age of map making, when maps of all
countries, States and cities, and of every size
and kind arc being published, and few or none
of them of any real benefit, as they barely
show the outlines of the places they claim to
represent. We arc pleased with a new map
now about being published by R. Fanner &
Co., of Detroit. The work shows the whole
of Michigan and "Wisconsin, Northern Illinois,
and a largo portion of lowa and Minnesota.
It is compiled from the United Stales surveys,
and shows the town lines; the
marshes, swamps and prairies: the roads, rail*
roads, cities and towns and villages; the coer
ces, and distances and soundings of the Lakes;
.the mining region, with location of mines,
course of the veins, i Icvaliun of the hills oro
shown with wonderful accuracy. The work
will commend itself to the patronage of every
man engaged in railroading or lumbering, and
to any one dealing In real estate we think the
work will be Invaluable. To business men, of
' all classes. It will be valuable, ns showing the
position of Chicago in its addition to the great
lakes. In point of fact- it Is a public benefit,
and should receive a hearty support even in
these times, os it is a work of high and intrin
sic worth, and will he a valuable appendage to
every hotel and office in the city. An agent of
the publishers is now canvassing for subscri
bers and will show a specimen of the work.
Let every one examine into its merits and act
accordingly.

but what little there was went Into liquida

Rush Medical College. —We are informed
that Prof A. S. Hudson has resigned the chair
of Physiology and Pathology in the Rush Med

chair oro being discharged by other members
of the Faculty fur the present. There are
about 120 students now in attendance upon
College lectures.
The Seating Ponds.— A correspondent is
down on the skating ponds fordrawing off the
head of wider. One at least, of these ponds
has a steam pump drawing an independent
supply from tho lake, and for the rest it may
be urged as a very good use of the water. The
whole subject is safe with the Water Commis

The Condemnation or North itkeet. —
The matter of condemning a portion of North
street oa the West Side to the use of a private
warehouse Is still in agitation, and during tho
interim of settling the question several thou
thousands yards of earth have been removed.
This is wrong, i nd the whole scheme is an in
jury to many property owners. The street
should and must be revered to its former con
dition, and all warehousemen must purchase
outright the ground their business requires.
Mrs. Bostwick’* Concert.— The excellent
and pluming concert at H r ya:i Hall last even
ing well deserved a larger audience. It could
not have had one more appreciative and bet

executed than many that have been given by
imported artists. It was unfortunate that the
inclemency of tho evening did much to dimin

have accepted as of real value.
At the request of the audience the concert
will be repeated on Tlrmrsday evening, and
many of our city readers will be the gainers
by this second presentation.

Mo. Gocon ix Chicago.—Ths brief sojourn
of Mr. Gough in Chicago has been a perfect
ovation. He has drawn on each oceasion au
diences limited only by the area of our amplest
halls. Some idea may be gained of the de
mand for his eloquent service#, by the fact
that there were thirty-eight applications from
societies and organizations iu this city for n
lecture from him, or upwards of sir weeks
of his time, working every week-day evening.
He has delivered three lectures here, and will
probably give four more, and for triple that
number would draw fall houses.
Not among the most imposing hnt certain
ly one of the most entertaining and pleasing
occasions of his appearance before a Chicago
audience, was Mr. Gough’s address to the
children of the Foster Mission Sunday School,
on Sabbath afternoon last This school is the
largest in the city, and on this occasion some
five hundred children with their teachers
were present. The address was one of the
most charming talks with children to which
we have ever listened, and the little folks will
long remember it, and not a few of the adnlts
who witnessed Mr. Gough’s magic power in
holding and enchaining the attention of listen
ers. Mr. Gough left to apea’c at Peoria last
evening.

New Tear’s Address*
CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1860.
GAMBLERS AND THEIR PRIVILEGES IX
CHICAGO.
The He lan go Case Iti Conrt and What
Followed*
The Chicago Democrat has been persistent in
Us attacks upon the Recorder’s Court and Its
oUlcers, at times rising to the pitch of charg
ing upon Recorder 'Wilson and District Attor
ney Haven crimes against public justice which
if sustained should place both of them at the
bar for trial and sentence. That neither of
them has been the sufferer from these charges,
always made more by Insinuation than with
directness and detail, seems & sufficient proof
that the foundation in fact has been lacking.
In the Democrat of Monday morning an edi
torial of some length, and possessed of must
characteristic features, closed with the follow
ing paragraph:
Recorder Wilson is represented as insinuat
ing what he knows to be false, that the present
administration protects gamblers. Ifhc knows
of any gamblers in this city It is his duty to
have them brought to justice, and he crimi
nates himself when he insinuates that there
are any such. If there arc no gamblers, then
be has insinuated a falsehood. He can lake
cither bom of the dilemma be pleases.
Whether the article in question was inten*
tionally to preface and prejudice In a trial set
down in the Recorder’s Court for yesterday,
wo leave our readers to imagine. The ease it
self In Its developments incident to the pro
gress of the hearing, we have deemed of suffi
cient importance to present in fall as reported
verbatim for bur columns;
The case of the People vs. John G. Belange,
who was indicted at the term last for
keeping a gaming bouse in the cliy, came up
and was disposed of in the following manner:
It will be remembered that Bslange was in
dicted at the same term with George Truusell
and others. Bclange at the time left the, city
and went to Milwaukee; bui having some
business to attend to here, came forward and
gave bail in the sum of $500; was defaulted,
and at the present term Belange appeared and
plead guilty. The counsel of Belange claimed
that the defendant kept his gambling room
with the knowledge of the present Mayor, and
with an undemanding that If complaint
should bo made against him he was first to be
notified; and if curetted would have a friend
“in Court;” and that this arrangement was
made upon consideration that Belange and
the other gamblers would make up a pony
purse to be vsed to secure the election of the
present Mayor. The Court said ho would hear
any proof that might be offered.
The defendant then proceeded to produce
the following testimony; -
rscTinoKT op c. il barker.
Cuarles ft. Barker, called by the defendant,
being duly sworn, testified as follow.*;
Question by .Mr. Willard.—Do yon know Mr;

A.—Mr. Wentworth aud Iliad a conversation in

down on him: he understood they were going for
Gurnee: 1 told him 1 didn't know why there down
on him: lie &aid he never troubled the gamblers,
and he didn't intend to trouble them unless there
were complaints made against them, and if there
were complaints made against them, why he should
give them no: ice, and if* they didn't get ont of the

A.—Yes, air.
Tub Court—Wait a moment I He said he didn’t
Intend to trouble gamblers unless there were com

Tue t'uuirr—You had got as far as that he want
ed you to go and «ee thc»o gcntlru,en 1
A.—Yes, sir. He wanted me to tell them what
Iluve just stated—that if ho was elected Mayor,
he would not trouble them unlees there were com
plaints made against them—or until notice was
given him that »uch complaints bad been made. I
went to Mr. Nebis and talked with him aud a>kcd
him to talk to some others. 1 thought he had as
much Influence wuh them as anybody. 1 *aw Mr.
Nellis at Doty's billiard room.
Tub Court. —Why did you go to Mr. Nellis?
A. —I went to him becan-o licncw he was keep
ing n room at the time and that he would have a*
much influence as others.
The Court. —Keeping what kind of a room*
A.—AgnmUUngruom. Isold to him what Mr.
Wentworth had said to me to say to him. lie told
me he would; that ho would talk with tho others
of the tame profession, and he would let me know
wbul they would my. That is what Mr. Nellis
told me.’ He said they had raised eoine money for
the pnrpoee of asslding in the election of Garr.ce.
and they had paid il into the treasury cf the other
party.
Tiik Court.— They—who 7
A.—Thcgsuiblurs; tm?y bad paid ft in already;
[Liughterj; they bad raided money aud paid'it
into thu truai-ory or the Democratic party to assist
in the election of Mr. Gurnee: [Renewed laugh

bo elected: I tried tu persuade him that he wa*
mistaken; he tuiid then he would see the other
men in hit profession aud let me know what they
said: 1 think 1 had some cunrer-aiton with one or
two other.-, but not of any account; 1 think it was
the nest day, or rather 1 think it was the evening of
the same duy that 1 spoke to him in the morning
that I met Hartley Nellis again; he took ue oat to
one side and tpicriioueiTme pretty sharply; he
questioned me pretty clo-riy in regard to what I
had told him: beseemed toratherdouhi Mr. Went
worth's doing what he promised; he said ho would
like an Interview with -Mr. Wentworth himself: i
told him I would so* Mr. Wentworth, and would
let let him know whether he would sec him or nut:
I saw Mr. Wentworth and told him what was said
bvMr. NcliU; he said he did'nt want to see him;
Mr. Wentworth said he did'nt want to see them
himself; ho said ho would send Mr. Geo. W. Gage
to them.
The Court—Did he cire any reason why he did
not want to iec them hhutelf r
A.—Well, yes; he Mid If anything came op af
terwards, he didn't want to be known in the mat
ter; that wan his reason; [laughter]; he said he
would send Mr. Gage to them, ami lie thought Mr.
Gage and I could fix it, and they would be satisfied
that he meant what he said.
Mi:. Haven — l suppose, Vour Honor. Ihat per
haps this jury would like to get tumcihlngto eat:
it is now between one and two o'clock.
The Court—This will only bea moment; goon.
That he and yon could fix ii ?
A.—'Ye*. tdr; well. I saw Mr. Nelli? afterward-*
and he said Mr. Ga-rc had talked with him. and he
presumed it was ail right; at any rate, they had
gone in and made a pool.
The Count—Wait! What I? that ?
A.—Mr. Garc had talked to him. and he guessed
It would be all right, and consequently they had
gone in and made a pool.
Tub Count—A poo! ?
A.—Yes. sir. and had paid over the reonev, 1
think, to Mr. Gage, but 1 would not swear to that.
The Court—Did he say anything about the
amount ?
A.—Well, he said there was a hundred dollars

A.—Well, that'? all 1 know about It.

Tub Court.—Fifty dollars for what ?

help elect Mr. Wentworth; It was applied to that
purpose; that is the wav 1 understood It; all I
knew about. I got from Mr. Nellis; J was not here
at the time.
Tub Court—Did you account for it yourself on

A-—\ es, sir; It was charged to me; at least that
was what be said—that he had charged me with £f

Q.—What waa the whole amount paid by your
concern Into the pool ? J

one hundred dollars.

This evidence shows beyond doubt that there were
assurances from the foremost of the city authori
ties in the event of Wentworth's election, these
men were not to be tronbled.jThere Is no evidence
that this party has him*elnbecn engaged in the
matter, any further than to famish money to the
hank; and although perhaps, Jt mar not be s legal
license under which they acted, yet it is a moral and
equitable one so far as the city government is con
cerncd. and I regret—— i

by Mr. Barker. I beard my name mentioned, and

Mr. Haven— That I? right.. ..f-
The Court— So I think., \. t
Mn. Gage.— ldo not knowAwhat It has to do
with this case, bat I snnporo some connec
tion with it. or it would not have been brought in
here. As to the conversation is >'regard to contrib
uting money to the election otMr. Wentworth, I
have no objections to suiting precisely what took
place between Mr. Nellis and myself, and the par
ties who paid the money, and also the expressions
made use of hr Mr. Wentworth.- 1 remember dis
tinctly that Mr: Wontworth said that he would say
e«* morcto me than ho would say on the stage nt
Metropolitan llalk I used the argument to Air.
Nellis and his friends that it v.fisprebablc (bat Mr.
Wentworth would be elected, and that it was bet
ter for them to have a friend than an ene
my. *>
The Court— Wnlt a moment l r Mr. Wentworth
said be would say no more to yoa than he wunld
sfiy on the ({luge at MctrojKilltußllall?
A.—lie said those worus, t , .•/j
Tun Cockt,— What did you rtf to Mr, Nelli* *
A.—That probably Air. WeotAorth woedd be
elected, and hid bettr? busy, friend ;;l craft
than io» enenili* Mr. Wenlwnrii, liad said most
distinctly, a* i understood, that ifi there was a vh»-
latiou oflaw, and they \vmd complained of. he
should proceed against them, lie ecemea to lav
great stress iu hi* conversation with me. which
was about the only one I have bad with him upon
this subject wlthiu two rears, that a gentleman
gambler was not half a* bad as those who “roped
ju.' l ns he expressed It customers.
The CmruT.— 'Wu not half a* bad a* tboto who
were roped in.
A.—No. sir, those who .were roping in tun out
sider*. He had not half a* ihurh (ear, of a gentle
man gambler, as of those who were Inveigling
outsider* into gambling houses. I never represent
ed anything different to Mr. Nellis, and let me >ay
here, as to ilu* money 1 received Irom Atr. Neills,
perhaps It would be better to say this: that niter
the conversation I had with Air. Wentworth, 1 bad
acouverrMtlonwith Air. Nelli* and Air. Tnuscll,
and another party, whom I do not now remember.
Ido not know that I ever knew his name. 1 think
I did know his name at the lime, but I neverknew
the man. and do not know him now, although I
should recognize him if I saw him. 1 did not repre
sent anything different then from whit I have
stated hire. 1 did not say that Air. Wentworth, if
elected Alayor, would wink at the violaliou of law.
because 1 had no assurances from him that he would
do so; but I n-cd the argument that probably be
would be more friccdlv to those who were in favor
of hi* election, than to those who were against
him. 1 wanted to make votes. [Laughter.] After
talking for tome lime, they proposed to give me for
electioneering purp ses. one hundred dollars. I
refused it then. 1 told them that before I received
it. I wished toconfcr with Samuel Hoard. George
W. Mule and Henry Howland, who were a commit
tee, colled the Campaign Committee. I told them
what I had said to these parties. They said they
saw no impropriety iu my taking it and expending,
It for that purpose. The same parties whom 1
have mentioned said they had contributed to assist
iu the election of Air; Gurnee, a* testified to by Air.
Barker.
—Anvthlng else ?
A.—l don’t think* of anything; it seems toms
that that explain* everything that can be of inter
est or value in regard to this case; ! do not know of
any other particular point that I can explain.
Sin. \ViLi.Ar.o—AJluw me to ask where was thi*
interview ?
A.—lt was in my private office—tho last Inter
view.
o.—Didn't von meet Darner Kellis on the side
walk at or near the Tremont l!on?e, and (ell him
that you had been looking for him fur two or three
days, or had been looking for him ?
A.—l refer now to the lost interview, Mr. Wil
lard ; 1 had several Interviews with Air. Nellis.
CJ. —At the time you hid this interview in your
private office was not Mr. Wentworth la the hoiuc?
A.—lie might have been,
q.—Didn't yon go out of the room and consult
with Mr. Wentworth during the consultation with
these parties?
A.—No, sir. I did not; my only object in saying
I would not receive the money was to consult with
the Committee, which I went to see at once. . .
Q.—Was it not Hie understanding, either directly
or indirectly, between yourself and Mr. Went
worth, chat if they contributed towards the election
he should be their friend at court ?
A.—Never, air, so far as the violation of law was
concerned.—
Q.—[lnterrupting.]—l did not askyou as to law;
Mr. Wentworth has no connection with that gamb
ling business any more than any other man; he
cannot prosecute, or fine; but was there not an un
derstanding that If they contributed they were to
be favorably looked at, or, as yon express It, “have
a friend at court.”
A.—l had no information from Mr. Wentworth
of that nature, except that in the course of conver
sation he made this remark: “1 never had any
difficulty, nor do I believe the community ever
have with a gentlemanly gambU-r: but it is'those
parties that go outride and rope la outsiders for
the purpose of deception and fraud, who are the
only persons from whom there is any such danger;*’
in this conversation 1 urged the matter upon aim:
I was anxious for him to nay something that could
be represented favorabiutohis election ; and I did
get him to say all ho ought to sav, and I represent
ed it to those gentlemen precisely as it was told to
me.
(».—Don’t you know that Charley Barker bad
been to these men prior to yonr seeing him?
A.—l am pretty confident that I was at no inter
view between Mr. Barker and Jlr. Nelli*.
Q.—Didn’t you go to these men on Jlr. 'Went
worth's direction or solicitation 7
A.—No. air: 1 first suggested U to him.
Q.—Didn't he acquiesce In the suggestion ?
A.—What suggestion?
<j.—You ray you urat suggested to Mr. Went
worth the idea of going to these men ?
A.—l first suggested to Jlr. Wentworth that I
thought some votes might be obtained In that di
rection.
<Jv— State whether this interview between your
self and Mr. Nellis, and this other man was with
Mr. Wentworth's consent or procurement ?
A. 1 presume to say that Mr. Wentworth knew*
of my meeting them.
B. Don't you know he did ?
A.—l think he did. Yes.
Q.—Waa not the idea held oat by Mr.Wentworth
or by you to them, as mediator, ttlat if they would
contribute, they would have a friend at coart In
the administration ? Was not that idea carried to
these parties, either hy you or Mr. Wentworth, or
by somebody else In yonr presence ?
A.—l know It was my Idea that It would be bet
ter for these gentlemen to have it understood that
Jlr. Wentworth went Into office knowing they were
friendly to his election, than for him to know thev
were au alnn him.
Q.—Was it not talked between von and these
parties at that interview with Mr. Nellis, that
these other men bad refused to contribute unless
they could have the assurance of some responsible
party that they did have a friend at court. They
must have it from some grand mugwnmpus of- the
concern—from close quarters—from the commit
tee?
A.—l was not on the committee?
■ Q.—Was it not talked up between you in that
private interview, that they required to have this
assurance, whatever it was, from headquarters, if
you please, or as near the bouse as thev could cet
without getting behind It? b
Hr. Neills* Impression
was:Mr.Nellis had the conversation pretty much
much to himself; be and 1 did most of the talking,
and I really do not remember that anv expression
was made nse of hy myself that would lead him to
suppose that in case of complaint being made
against him. or any other pany, that the Mayor
would place himself in a position to connive at the
defence of these parties; this might hare been the
understanding, and perhaps It was talked no be
tween myselfand Mr. NeUls. ibat in case a com
plaint was made against him. the party complained
of might bo arrested In doe process, without being
locked np in jail, or something of that nature; but
that he would for one moment hesitate to proceed
against them was never represented to me by Mr.
Wentworth, nor did -1 ever so represent to Mr.
Nellis.
Was It not represented to Mr. Nellia or these
parties, either by you or Mr. Wentworth, or some
body else la your presence, that la case they did
contribute It should be so, and did not Mr. Nellis
insist that be wanted the assurance that the thing
was to be as talked of. from some par:y near the
throne—some responsible party?
A.—ld uo way did Mr. Nellis ask of me anything
more than to be fairly treated; he said that was all
that be wanted.
Q.—U as It nut understood and talked between
yon, that In case complaints were made, they
should be from respectable parties before they
were noticed; and they should hav* due notice,
and be fairlv dealt with?
A.—Mr. Wentworth said distinctly that If com
plaints weru made against any of the parties he
should proceed against them.
Q.—Don't roe know that Mr. Wentworth could
not arrest or dee those panics for gambling ?
A.—l knew nothing about that: I supposed he
was to be the executive officer of tho city, and could
take cognizance of crime.
Q.—Didn't you know that the Mayor could not
Issue process, or impose due or Imprison ?
A.—l did not stop to consider.
Q.—Didn’t Mr. Nellis tell yon that without yonr
assurance he would not do anything; or that he
had no confidence in Wentworth ?
A.—He told me he bad no confidence In Mr.
Wentworth.
O.—Did he not tell rtffi that be had confidence in
you?
i..— He said If Ipromi-ed him anything he snp
po.-td 1 would endeavour to perform it.
q.—Well, the mocev was paid, won’t it George ?
A—Yes,sir.
Mu. Willabd.—' That is all.
Mu. Gage—l wUh to say here, as it has gone bo
far, that Immediately after Mr. Wentworth's elec
tion, the trouble aro-c with Mr. TruseelL Mr.
Trns-ell came to me at once, a* a party who had
canTcrj»ed with him In regard t« what I knew. He
said he knew enough to know the fellow ought to
be in the. penitentlary-rthak.no matter what I
might aar, he said heknevr enough to know that
the other party in that establishment ought te Buf
fer the penalty of the law fcr what he had done,
and they would .100. so far as be conld bring it
about. That was within a week after his elec
tion.
<!•— I will ask yon further, though I don't know
as It cuts any figure in this cam, what he saldabonc
Trusscli. I*havc no doubt he went bock oa bis
friends after election. 1 will ask yon whetheryoa
do da know some of the parties he made that re
mark about having been in Ids employ as private
detectives ?
A.—No, sir, Ido not.
[The witness wa* here dhmfesed and the conn
ed announced that ho bad no fitrthur evidence to
present.]
The Co cut —Mr. Haven. If yon or Mr. Willard
wont to pres? upon the tnied of the Court any ar
guments upon this mural question, or the question
of this mural license, yon can do so.
Mr. Willard—l don’t know that I do. yonr
Honor. 1 think that I have established all that I
ought to. Ido not regard the question ss one that
requires anv argument.
Tcb Cotrirr—WelL Mr. Belange, I might as well
dispose of this now as at any other time.
[The prisoner. Belange. here rose np and present
ed himself at the Bar of the Coart to receive his
sentence.]
The Court—ln this place you speak of, sEmit
ting what has been done thcres were yon In con
nection with Mr. Nellis?
The Prisoner—'There have been some two or
three parlies concerned In the matter. When the
concern was first opened there were some three or
four. 3tr. Daniels wa* the father of it.
The Court—Now, Mr. Belange, I presume from
the evidence that has been introduced, that yoU
wtrecoaeidcml by the tiiv authorities to belong
to the gentlemanly class of men.
The Prisoner—Well.
Ton Court— That yoa had a place for gentle
men to divide what they bad. I should suppose so
from the evidence
The Prison:—Well, fir, I have never as long
as I have kept the place, done anything different.
1 allow nobody In the bouse but those capable of
superintending and taking care of themselves—ca
pable of lehwr their own guardians, acd Liking

The Conrr—Vet the paymcut of money, :• ▼on

who ia base enough to make rnv such statement,
or any Mich agreement, with gambler's, ron owhc
not, as gentlemen gamblers, so far debase your
selves as to hold any communication with any such
functionary.- It la worse, u hundred times worse,
than your u'ambling. audl sav it. willing that any

“gentlemen gamblers," arc gentleman compared
with the man who. occupying or aspiring to an of

through these gambling houses, to promote him to
a public position. I do nut know but it Is true
that this money which was obtained for the par
poses of th!-* election may have been obtained
from some gentlemen. It is possible. but as fur
you, Air. Belangc. this is la point of tact the third
time that you Lave been here. Now. you are an
Intelligent kind of a tuau. nr.ri e<» is liarncy Nellis
so far as 1 know him, and ! hau* m;n him on the

that no matter whether It la from a Mayor of this

ses, Air. Harder states, of this complaint, before
yon arc troubled, if yon ever attempt to make oa
argument like this in your defence again, you need
never a -eeond lime introduce It here a* an excuse
for keeping III!: rantldlng house. I d;» uot blame
Charley Barker there for being trended that you
would not take bis word for this: that %'un wanted
somebody else; that you wanted this authority to
come from some higher source; some one nearer
the throne thau Charley was: and the Mayor did
net, of course, want to speak himself, because a*
one of tb« witnesses mts, it might come up here
after against him. I do not alarac Mr. Nelli*
cither; I will nut cnn.-Id-.-rlt dtivUdu* against your
character herethat you know Air. Nellis, and that
Air. Neill* did uot havy any confidence Id the word
manwhocjuld agree 1.»1.;kb such money for the
purpose of eleclitg himself. I think that Is rather
commendable iu Nellis—rather corurm miabic.—
[Laughtcr.] The man had a right to say so. and
ought to have credit forlc I believe myself that
in everything in this world there i* such a thing as
off-ct. I l»elicvo tu the doctrlncof oCsets. It may
be tbattbe Inhabitants of the city of Chicago arc
*n favor of placing such a man iu olUce upon the
money of gamblers, for which these gambler*
have nssaraucty that give th**m good reason to be
lieve that they will be treated gentlemanly—treat
ed kindly—and never Interfered with, unless It Is
done in some polite way. and then to be notified.—
It 1* true iu regard to tins tuau Trussed, that after
the Prosecuting Attomev here had been after him
for a long time, and had the evidence against him.
the Alayor told Air. Gone he wo* a dreadful fellow,
and ought to be in the'Peulteut iary.
But i am glsdof one tiling—that the Alayor of
the city, having received yu'nr money for the pur
pose of electing Uimsi-K. aa* thus fur kept his word,
and that you nave uot recr. one of tho-fi gen*Vmen
with star* on about yotirconceiu. But I can tell
you one thing; after exposing this mailer, having
introduced it here as a reason why you should not
be punished, you may expect to* see the *tara
around there pretlvsoon. Vou will certainly see
there directly, and I advise von that you have noth
ing to do with this e-tabll-firacnt. that yon do uot
go near it; because these star* will w standing
around there all the time. Barney, it i* tme. has
uot come here. Ue may run the concern, perhaps,
and these fellows will treat him kiudlv, because he
liasnoltold. But thl* is the last time: I want to
do everything which It is my duty to do: bat lean
assure you. Mr. Bolange, that while I hold this
place. I chail never disgrace any ** gentlemen gam
blers'* who bare arrangement* with the city to
run their gambling houses, by sending to any city
Bridewell, where that city government bus any
control. [Laughter.] Never. That is not my
doty.
1 have some doubt whether it Is a gentlemanly
business my?«lf; I have really some doubt of it:
hut under the circnruriauccs of thid ca*e, 1 well
remember that yon have already paid a consider
able sum. It has not. it Is true.'exactly gone into
the city treasury, but it has gone "round lo that
direction. We arc all In favor of ••economy.*’
[Laughter.] All of ns in this city are In favor of
economy. Dot you, having paid this, not exactly
into the city treasury, though the “pool*’ went
somewhere in ihat.difcction, I stall this time con
sider that in fixing vour punl-hment. Cut certainly,
nevertruri me*gain on tint -object.
in this instance. 1 shall fine you to the extent of
the law. one hundred dollars and costs: and IJieg
von. if you have any regard for yourself or Barney
Nellis, never make a similar arrangement with a
similar person.
Alter some further remarks in regard to the
line, costs, dec., by the Court and District-At
torney, the prisoner paid his fine ($100) over
to the Sheriff, and was discharged.
Second Philharmonic Concert,
Hie second concert of tlie Philharmonic
Society, which was given on Monday evening
lost, deserves a more especial notice. At an
early hour Bryan Hall was tilled with a most
select and appreciative audience, and precisely
at S o'clock Jlr. Baialka was on bis stand, and
opened the concert with the overture to “Ro
bespierre,” a punctuality which we commend
to other concert-givers. This overture is a
most effective musical picture of revolutionary
times, which reaches its climax in the happy
introduction oftheMorsellealsc Hymn. The
too high temperature of the Hall, by raising
the pitch of the wind and lowering that of the
string instruments marred n happily the eC.
feet of this composition beyond the control
of the performers. The same effect was much
fslt in the succeeding pieces. The Tenor
Solo by Mr. Mauss was very creditable. One
of the great features of the evening was the
concerto by Chopin, performed by Mr. Paul
Becker, a most elegant composition, full of
originality and peculiar effects, and of which
it U said, that only Clara Schumann was capa
ble of rendering it in the composers character
istic style. Mr. Becker's rendition of this
most difficult work was really classic, and
elicited the heartiest applause. A more pow
erful instrument would have been desirable.
The choruses from “Elijah” and “Lohengrin”
snug correctly, but seemingly with little ani
mation and spirit. The soprano in the terzetto
to Elijah deserves praise. The ever pleasing
allegretto to the elghthsymphony was heartily
encored. Miss Anna. Fesscl, possessed of a
voice of remarkable power, sang the pleasing
aria to “Gemma diVergy” with good effect,
and though the control of all the finer nuances
is only a prerogative of the greatest singers,
jet Miss Fesscl proved herself equal to our
best sopranos here. This concert by introduc
ing some new classic gems, has been true to
the object of the Philharmonic Society, to
raise the standard of musical art In our city,
and we look forward with high expecta
tion to the next concert, which is announced
to come off about the middle of next month.

GUTard’a Injector.
Messrs. Higgins, Mowry A Co., say there Is
no exclusve agency In this city for the sale of
Giflord’s Injector. following are extracts
from our Contract with William Sellers & Co.,
of Philadelphia, the makers of the Injector:
“ We will make you our sale agents fur the
sale of GlfCtrds Injector In yoursection. * *
“This arrangement not to preclude us from
idling In your section, should we consider it
necessary so to do; bat we should make no
effort to do so, and shall endeavor to direct
the trade into your hands.” ***♦♦♦
“All sales made by us to other parties will be
at list prices, terms cash, delivered at our
works, packing and hauling in addition, ex
cepting only to machinists, those in the trade
who buy to sell again,” * * * “in which
case we will make a discount of —per cent,”
We suppose it Is true that Higgins, Mowry
& Co., may “buy to sell again” as well as oth
ers. We bad not supposed that that they, by
that means, became agents. But of this we
leave yonr readers to judge, with the single
remark that we can sell Messrs. Higginst
Mowry & Co., and all other dealers or ma
chinists, as low as they can buy of the manu
factnrcrs.
