Cijicago Suitunt WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY C, 186 L DANGER AT WASHINGTON. We call attention to the letter of our as sociate and correspondent in Washington, printed herewith, in which the danger of an attack on that city is announced. A private note accompanying his letter gives us the sources of his information; and while, for obvious, reasons, we withhold from the public the. particulars which he communicates, we beg to assure the read ers of the Tribune that he derives his facts from the highest sources, and that Ms let ter is a plain, straight-forward statement of the apprehensions wMch Gen. Scott, Mr. Hob, Gen. Dix and other patriotic men who are in* a position to know the extent of the danger, fed. To what reflections do the words of our correspondent lead? TTbat a stale of the country they reveal? ‘While the brave aud patriotic men whom Mr. Buchanan has finally, but, alas too late, called about him, are straining every nerve to repress dis order, repel force with force, and to save the government from dissolution, we find that the pretended followers of Gen. Jack son, —the men who have claimed to be the exclusive friends of the Union of the States —ln open sympathy of not in actual con sultation with the enemy, and in party conventions, in public harangues and their fhimcicss newspapers, discouraging the efforts of those who would themselves abide by the laws, and encouraging those who would defy aud overturn them and the* Constitution upon which they are based. Meanwhile the Secessionists of the South arc firing on the national flag which droop? dish onored before them,seizmgupon tbc national strongholds, stealing the gov ernment money, occupying the national arsenals, hospitals and custom-houses, and by other acts of war os unprovoked as they are outrageous, insulting the national au thority—all to culminate in seizing the na tional capital, the archives and treasure of the i:ovcrnment,aud from ‘Washington pro clalmis\g that the revolution is complete and tint the South, rebellions, defiant and anarchical is, in all its rights, privileges, and prerogative?, the rightful successor of the Federal power. In this work, bywith holding from the constituted authorities the moral and political support which they demand, and by comforting the traitors with assurances of sympathy with their “ wrongs,” the Democracy of thcNorthare aiding more effectually than if they had organized an army for Southern aid and challenged the Republicans to meet them iu the field. We hope for the honor of our common country and the American name, that these abetments of treason are confined to the leaders of the discomfited Democracy—to the fleshless, gibbering skeletons of a defeated organiza tion. Wc shall not believe that the rank and file of that party, once renowned for the exaltation of its patriotism whenever the countiy was threatened with* danger, is about to surrender to domestic traitors the government and honor of the country which they would have laid down their lives to defend against any foreign foe. Let them speak! Let them put behind them a;I propositions to compromise until the government of the Republic is vindi cate!, and the honor of its flag is restored. With the Capital threatened by men who want ao compromise, no concession, no conciliation, no peace, and who are, at whatever cost, determined on disunion, this is no time for boy’s play.l mt. KELLOGGS BILL. The Breckinridge platform declares that Con- Ui c no power to abJUh slavery la tbe Terri luricvi. Kellogg proposes to abolish it forever in all icrrltorv noithoi SI deg. 30 min- Theßreckln ]ilutf.*r«i: tela forth f.iatthcTerritotialLegis lature baa n*» power to abolish slavery in the Ter ri:orie®. butxiiiit Congress shall protect It there. Kellogg propose- that neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature shall prevent uic emigra tion of -iavc-i into Territory bouth of 36 deg. SO min., where slavery exult, bnt that snch Territory ma? come in ae a tree or slave State, as the people may de .ermine.—C/< icago Journal, This is jjrccisdy untrue in the vital point Mr. Kellogg’s amendments to the Constitution (which will be found in anoth er column), propose that slaves may be taken into any Territory south of 36:30 from any State where slavery exists; not“in -41 to any Territory where slavery exists,” as the Journal has it Now let us bare no dodging, nor sneak ing about this Kellogg measure. If we un derstand the* English language it proposes to grant to. any slaveholder the right to settle in any portion of the federal domain south of 30:30 with his slave property, and to forbid tbe National or Territorial Legis lature in any way molesting or in terfering with the institution of slavery there. Docs not this legalise it ? Is there a mental reservation lurking behind Mr. Kellogg’s bill, that although slavery cannot be molested legally in the Territo ries, it may ycl be molested illegally? That although the-Legislature may not abolish it yet the mob may do so? If this be the scheme, then we are opposed to it for two reasons: Ist, on account of its duplicity; and 2d, because it will necessitate another **« compromise ”in less than six months. If the amendments are adopted, any slave driver con demand that the army of the United States, and the whole power in the hands of the Federal Government, be em ployed to protect bis “property” in the Territories; and President Lincoln cannot refuse to comply with that demand. We are opposed to this as an original proposition, and we arc opposed in toto to any double tongued proposition which shall add the crime of swindling to the offense of com promising with traitors. FORTS SC3ITER AND PICKENS. Tbe reported reinforcement of Fort Sum ter and attach on the fortress by tbe South Carolinians arc pronounced all bosh by a Charleston dispatch received last evening. It is true, however, that the “ citizen sol diery” of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi liavc withdrawn from the neighborhood of Lieut Slcmmer’s guns at Fort Pickens. A letter in the Mobile, Register says that money and provisions have become so scarce at Pensacola that the officers who resigned their commissions in the army and navy of the United Slates, for the pur pose of aiding the rebellion, were reduced almost to bcggaiy to obtain the means to reach their respective homes. COERCION. The latest'base of “coercion” is that which the Collector of New Orleans pro poses to exercise over the merchants of Louisville, refusing to allow them to bring foreign goods up the Mississippi river unless they pay duties to the independent nation of Louisiana. This is also a_ -bright, and interesting evidence of that free navigation of the Mississippi which " the nation .of Louisiana proposes to grant to all “ friendly States.” But let os not talk about “ coer cion.” Let us COMPROMISE! ACTION AGAIN. The screw frigates Colorado (40 guns), Minnesota (40), Eoanokc (40), and the aide wheel sloop Mississippi (11), are at once to he put in requisition lor the collection of the revenues at ports where they cannot be collected by the usual .means. This looks as though there might be sUHs Gorem- the United States. Let us hope that me orders will not be countermanded tQ-moirdy, arid that the vessels wffll.aot be to the week. VOLUME XIV. RAID BPOS WASHIKGXOjV. Zt&ter Pevelopmontfl—..Approhongj^ng of Gen. Scott. TOE FORCES ASSEMBLED AT THE CiriTiL Plans of tlie Conspirators. [Special Sorrespondence of the Chicago Tribune.] Washington*, Feb. 2d, ISCI." The excitement and alarm iu relation to the seizure of this capital by the Insurgents in Virginia and Maryland, have been again-pro voked by recent developments made to Gen, Scott end the Cabinet. I fpcalithat which know when I say that the fancied security, of the week past has given way, and that in the circles composed of men whose business it is to guard this place, the utmost apprehension exists. The alarm, wisely enough, has not been communicated to the public; hence the property-holders and others here who have permanent interest in the prosperity of the city still fancy that the storm has passed over and that they may go to bed in peace. But there Is no doubt that a widely extended conspiracy for the armed occupation of Washington ex ists ; and that to that end the minute men of two adjoining States ore drilled, now, as the time approaches, daily. The plan is supposed to be to bring into the city quietly before a given day, a sufficient number of seces sionists with arms, mid on a precon certed night and a given hour, come forth from their hiding places and take pos session of the great public buildings—the Cap itol, the Post Office, the AVer and Navy De partments, &c—and, as each one of these has the strength and solidity of a first-class tonifi cation, hold them, as they might, until rein forcements could come. Letters setting forth these plans with great particularity are con stantly coming to the officers of the Cabinet from all parts of the South. They are from sources which entitle them to the utmost re spect, and they arc addressed to men who can not be fooled by bug-a-boos which alarmists invent Sufficient for me to say that they are, after being compared with cadi other, sifted out and examined, as far os practicable, in re gard to their alleged facts, convincing to the military men here; and that Gen. Scott has made them and the result of his indepen dent observations the subject of a communi cation to the President as Commander-In-Chief in which he does not hesitate to dedare that the safety of the city is Imperiled and that against the forces in organization for attack, he cannot answer for its safety with the means utbls command. The President Is still vascillating and doubtful—promising to-day andretractlng to-morrow—advising with Scott and Holt In the morning, and sending for Slidell In the af ternoon. He will not sec, or, seeing, wilfully disbelieves, the danger; and hoping that nothing will be required, leaves everything undone. There are nblmt seven hundred troops in the city, with some twenty-four pieces of artillery; but in the event of trouble they would not be promptly backed by tbo militia of tbc District; and by themselves they are far 100 few to stand against the over powering force that Maryland und Virginia would launch against them. But Gen. Scott is as untiring as he is zealous, and whatever he can get permission to do, he will do with an eye single to the peace and safety of tbc coun try ; and it is possible that his preparations may be so complete before the day of the con templated attack comes, that the treasonable effort will be indefinitely postponed. We shall see. In the meantime do not suppose that I am writing a letter for a sensation merely; my information comes direct from the highest sources, CH.II. CHICAGO PRODUCE AND PROVIS ION TRADE.

Mess pork closed at a decline of fully 25c per brL; lard declined 14c; and hogs 25c per 100 lbs. In view of the dull state of provisions all over the country, our city packers have been cutting very lightly, and some have stopped entirely. NATIONAL CONTENTION—SIB. JAB BOPS RESOLUTIONS. The following preamble and resolutions were introduced by Mr. Jarrotof 6L Clair,in tbe House of Representatives at Spring field, on Friday last, and adopted by a vote of ayes 40, noes 22: Whereas, Although the people of tbe State of Illinois do not desire any cnaticc In onr Federal Constitution, yet as several of onr sister States have indicated that they deem it necessary that some amendment should be made thereto; and Whereas. In and by the fifth article of tbe Con stitution of the United States, provision is mad«i for proposing amendments to tbit Instrument, either by Congress or by a Convention; and Whereas, The desire has been expressed in va rious parts of the United States for a Convention for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution; Therefore!

Resolved, That copies of tbe above preamble and rleolutions be sent to each of our Kcpreccntativcs aad Senators in Congress, and to the Executives of the several States. First Four Forward and Back. The Chicago Tribune is under infinite obli gations to that elegant quartette—the Times, Democrat, Jbsi and Journal—forlheir simulta neous onslaught, and for the pains they have taken to get into line where, they can all be raked together. The doily circulation of the four combined is not equal to that of the Tri bune, bnt we shall not take undue advantage of the discrepancy. Pint four forward and back. The Times leads the dance to the tune of “Carry mo hack to Old Viiginny.” The Democrat capers in With considerable awk wardness and a horrible grimace, vowing that it prays three times a day that every bond may. be broken, (referring, of course, to city bonds whose place be filled by sixteen per cent scrip.) The Post follows next with an embar rassed doable shuffle, not being quite certain whether it is a political paper or not. The Journal blunders in as usual at the wrong time and the wrong place, disconcerting the musicians and kicking the shins of its part ners. We pray that the dance may be kept np. Tbe public are just now in the humor for something of the sort to break the monotony In politics. A gay party they make, by the powers! Go It Times; go it Democrat; go it ibif; go it Journo!/go it boots!

MACK’S KEW BASKING BELL* [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Springfield, Feb. 5,1661. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. The Senate to-day held an afternoon ses sion only. Besides the usual business, twenty one bills were put upon their passage. Those of public ini crest were: An act to provide for receiving and recurlng the maps and plates of the .United States surveys; an act to enable the trustees of the Illinois and Michigan Ca nal to establish certain police regulations; an act to cocourage mining; an act to establish the town of Hyde Park;-aud acts amending the statutes under the following titles: Limi tations of actions, oaths and affirmations, wills and testaments, and landlord and tenant. Mr. Mack *s Finance bill, of which a synopsis was given at tbeconcluslon of lost night’s dispatch, passed bothtfacSenateandHouscto-day. This bill is of much importance. Tbc introduction of bills has been the chief business of the House to-day, and the whole number there introduced is now 601, and In the Senate 303, of which less than 200 are for gcicral laws. Not more than 20 bills have been approved by the Governor. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Brown of Cook, from the Committee on Public Accounts and Expenditures, Introduced the general appropriation bill, which was read, hud on the table and ordered to be printed. CONGRESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT. Hr. Blades of Vermillion introduced a Joint resolution, appointing nine on the part of the House, and five on the part of the Senate, to constitute a committee to apportion the State into thirteen Congressional Districts. Mr. Hurlbnt of Boone moved. a substitute, appointing thirteen on the part of the House and seven on the part of tbc Senate, to consti tute the committee. This movement seemed to take the opposi tion by surprise, and alter ineffectual attempts to adjoom, the Democrats meantime deserting the Hall, the previous question was moved, and the roll being called no qnomm was found present. A call of tbc House was ordered, and pending it the Honsc adjourned. The Democracy declare they will use every par liamentary expedient to defeat this measure, and no doubt they will not hesitate to use ev ery means, good or evil. M'ALLISTER AND STUBBING BONDS. John 32, Devlin and M. M. Freeman, Eeqre., are here from New York. They are interested In the Stcbblns & McAllister bonds, cither as attorneys or principals. By an agreement nude some time ago they are to have shearing before a Committee of the Legislature? Let m> hope this claim will be equitably adjusted. NEW ARRIVALS. Horace Greeley lectured to-night to a crowd ed hou-ie. He had a three hoars’ interview with Mr. Lincoln at the St Nicholas to-day, at which Mr, N. B. Sinclair of New York was present Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln have their last private reception at his honso on to-morrow evening. The town is full to the brim. A frc-crh delegation arrived from Chicago this morning aud another this evening. A large representation is here from the Illinois Cen tral R. R. Co., and a sumptuous car of that corporation stands on the siding at this station for their accommodation. ilev. : John L. Smith, Dr, O. L. Ciark, and Albert S. White, M. C., all from Indiana, arrived to-day. They press the claims of Caleb B. Smith with a good degree of pertinacity. Will Comback left yesterday. He is figuring for Mr. Colfax. MU. LINCOLN’S MOVEMENTS. Warren Leland, of the Metropolitan Hotel, was hero yesterday to prevail upon Mr. Lin coln to stop there while in New York. Mr. Lincoln referred him to Mr. W. S. Wood, of New York, who has volunteered to act as his courier on the trip to Washington. It is hardly possible that Mr. Lincoln will be able to avoid making the tour of the principal cities as far East as Boston, and thence to Washington, so numer ous and pressing are the invitations extended him. A reporter of a prominent Eastern newspaper now here says openly that he has been instructed to make a big thing out of his last week in Springfield; so look out for sen sation dispatches.

Mr. Horlbut, of Boone, from the House Committee on Federal Relations, made the following report: The Joint Committee on Federal Relations of the House and Senate, have bad under com ••iteration the resolutions of the General As sembly of the State of Virginia, requesting the appointment of Commissioners to zueut-in Washington on the 4lh of February, and in* struct me to report: That the Committee recognized the tact set forth in said resolutions of the present unhap py and distracted feeling in portions of the United States, tending toward the destruction of the Union and the overthrow of the Gov- ♦Turnout, and deplore the existence of such feeling: lour committee further agree with the statement in said resolutions that the only mode of correcting such feeling and healing euch alienation consists In a common effort among all who love the Union and stand by the Constitution to cause to be luifilled every where, Impartially and exactly, the provisions of that instrument, in the spirit in which it was framed by the Lathers of the Republic. Your committee are further of the opinion that the Constitution, if it- requires amend ment, can only be attained in the mode therein provided; aud that the final and controlling power over tmy proposed amendments resides und should reside in the people of the United States : Your committee therefore do not consider the proposed convention of commissioners as offerin * any pow- r or authority to suggest or propose any amendments, but deem such con* veution extra constitutional, and simply on as* sembl&gc of private persons who may be pre sumed to represent in a greater or less degree the sentiment of the acvcrtd-fitates who send them. Cut although your committee hold as clear constitutional law, the principles afore said in reference to said proposed convention, and expressly decline to consider the State of Illinois bound by any action of said body when assembled; yet they do realize the possibility that the said convention if animated by propi r spirit, may act as a meins to diminish and do away with the embittered feelings which influ ence the popular mind and dispel those preju* dices which interested and malevolent persons have created and fostered among the people of the cilfercnt States in relation to < ach other. They are further of the opinion that the ac ceptance of the invitation ol Virginia under these circumstances will strengthen the hands and nerve the hearts of those who in the Southern States still stand Arm against the in roads of revolution and secession. And for these reasons, briefly above state, they ask leave in response to the Virginia resolutions, to report the following to be adopted by this Legislature: Whereas, Resolutions of the State of Vir ginia have been communicated to the General Assembly of this State proposing the appoint ment of Commissioners, by the several States, to meet in convention on the 4th day of February A, D. 1801, at Washington: Jlesolvcd by the Senate, the House qf Hcpresenta tilts concurring therein. That with the earnest desire for the return of harmony and kind re lations among all our sister States, and out of respect to the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Governorof this State be requested to appoint live Commissioners on the part of the State of Illinois, to confer and consult with thc'Com mlseioncrs of other States, who shall meet at Washington,prorirffti that said Commissioners shall at ull times bo subject to the control of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois. Jhsolixd, That the appointment of Cominis- sloncrs by the State of UlinoiSjin response to the invitation of the State of Virginia, is not an expression of opinion on the part of this State, that any amendment of the Federal Constitution is requisite to secure to the peo ple of the slarcbolding States adequate guar antees lor the security of their rights, nor an approval of the basis of settlement of onr dif ficulties proposed by the State of Virginia, bnt it is an expression of onr willingness to unite with the State of Virginia, in an earnest effort to adjust the present unhappy contro versies in the spirit in which the Constitution was originally framed, and consistently with its principles. Desoivcd, That while we are willing to ap point Commissioners to mccct in convention with those of other States for consultation up on matters which at present distract onr har mony as a nation; we also insist that the ap propriate and constitutional method of con sidering and acting upon the grievances com plained of by our sister States, would bo by the call of a Convention for the amendment of the Constitution in the manner contemplated by tbesth article of that instrument; and if the States deeming themselves aggrieved shall request Congress to call such "Convention, the Legislature of Illinois will and docs concur in such call The Now York Petition. [From the N. Y. Tribune, 2d.] Pronouns and particles are useful parts of speech if properly used, but also capable of mischief when out of place. So when Air. Seward is made to say in the report of his speech in the papers ot yesterday that 03,000 of the people of this city “have signed t?di ap peal to the Senate,” he should have been re ported as saying only that that number of per sons had signed appeals of a similar character. It is a distinction with a difference, far a great many men may he willing to ask that a certain thing be done, not one of whom, perhaps, -would ask that a certain wrong way of doing it, which others may' propose, should be adopted. The particular memorial referred to and pre sented by the Senator from New York is that put in motion by the Committee which met a fortnight ago yesterday in the Chamber of Commerce. They had little more than a week to work in, a very short, time in which to can vass Curly so large a number as 38,000. The simple truth is there was no such fair canvass. We know that names by the thousand were taken on both sides of Perries in the city and out of it, and' that the names of office boys who neither knew nor cared what they signed, hat signed for the fan of it Whether canvas sers were paid by the hundred names or not, it is known that they only cared to get mere names without regard either to their responsi bility or locality. It was rather a remarkable forbearance, however, on their part that the number of signers was not made to approach nearer than eighteen thousand to the fusion vote of this city. It is not to be supposed that those who were the bearers of this memorial were cognizant of the facts in regard to it, hat it Is well that it should be known at Washing ton precisely how much credit should be atributed to it as an exponent of public opin ion in this’commnnity. Forts Sumter and Pickens to be At- tacked. have been allowed by a gentleman of this city to make an extract from a private letter just received from Charleston, S. C., dated on the 29th uit, Tuesday. The writer says:’ “I know by direct Information that the Slate Engineer will on Friday or Saturday night re port to the authorities that preparations for the reduction of Fort Sumter are completed; a demand will then be made for the surrender of the fort; if this is not complied with, a lire from three batteries wiU bo opened^ at once, • “If Major Anderson's shells cannot reach the city, he cannot hold out long, unless rein forced ; for the Revolutionists have a masked battery of two columns and four 24-poundert bearing on the weakest part I also heard it openly said by the foremost of the radical secessionists that Col Hayne was sent $p Washington merely to occupy the attention of the' Administration, delay and give to South Caroltiifetisfielohiu&eberprepa ntlou, .. - THE CITY, False At.arm No., 2. — The alarm of fire for the second district, between eight -and nine o'clock last evening, was occasioned by a bon fire near the South Side Skating Pond.

Skating Polka.— Messrs. Root & Cady of this city have just issued in tiandfomc style a piece of music entitled “Thl, Skating Polka.” It is dedicated to the South Side Skating Club, by its author, C. C. Smith, and has an appro priate lithographic title page, illustrating a skating scene. That Messrs- R. & C. have published it, is sufficient praise of the music. A Museum op Art.— Thirfdon’s Museum of Art, now on exhibition at iingsbury Hall is well patronized, as it deserves to be. The life-like motions of its innumerable mechani cal figures of men and animals, aside from the interest attached to the scenes and acts depict* ed, render it a sight well worth beholding* An exhibition will beheld for children this acd Saturday afternoon.

On Monday morning, when a demand was made for the goods, Golden refused to give them np or admit Collins to his house.

Yesterday the business was as follows: The case of Thomas Sampson, which was pend ing Monday night, was taken up. Sampson was charged with larceny of drafts and SSOO in currency from Wm. Calhoun. Ho plead “not guilty.” P. Sullivan, connseL The Wells street burglars, Patrick Regan and Peter Flynn, plead “ not guilty.” The Coart assigned D. Driscoll as counsel. One Martin Singer plead guilty of stealing nine dollars and put in poverty os the cause of his crime. The Court said he should try and keep him from the penitentiary. It is general ly the cose that the man who commits a larce ny to preserve the life of his dependent wife and children, is the very man who gets pun ished. One who takes money enough to boy up a jury la safe. The Court Is to be com mended for a charitable, if a harsh view of a too common phase of life. John Powers, charged with.appropriating iron,the property of the Galena Railroad Com* pany, plead “ guilty.” Peter Flynn, second indictment for larceny; Andrew J., alias Perry Daly, charged .with lar ceny and burglary, and Sophie Wolner, a girl but twelve years of age, charged with stealing a dress and brooch, plead “notguilty.” Court assigned C. R. Jones' counsel for tbe latter. Stephen Sidney plead guilty of stealing a pair of pants, and Patrick Comfort acknow ledged the corn on a small matter of taking some brass or copper fixtures worth $15.00. Counsel for the latter, P. Sullivan. The record presented from day to day In the local columns of the Tribune would lead a calm and dispassionate observer to an expres. sion of the opinion that Chicago, item its nu merous: burglaries, robberies, assaults, and crimes of a similar character, was anything but a safe and comfortable place of residence lor a nerson of less than tbe usual amount of stami na and nerve. Canwesaynaylosnch an as sertion? .-We fear not. It was once onr boast that wo were a better protected and better defended people than any in the country. Now it appears we arc learn ing a lesson of another character; perhaps a lessen in experience by which another genera tion may profit, bat which is far from being profitable to those whose tills arc rilled, whose houses are robbed, and whose property is oth erwise made way with, however much the thief, roober and burglar may enrich himself thereby. _ Car streets are supposed to be patroled &> night by watchful and efficient policemen; still this docs cot seem to put i quietus to depredators. Is ibis because onr police force is inadequate in point of numbers, or. are its members ineffi cient? It is notibr us to say, but it might be well enough to suggest on inquiry into the ex pediency of adopting some care for the disease. Perhaps it uouZd be economy to have a some what larger force. ‘these remarks have been suggested by look ing over onr files for the lost month, and also by the arrest of Nathan Kingman, .onMMo- t day night, by officer Cleves. This burglar broke into the dry goods store of Messrs. Bho field Bros., on North Clack street, on Monday night, and carried oil SIBO inhills,s2o In small change, and a dress pattern. He effected an entrance with the key of the front door, and made Ms exit by breaking open the rear en trance. \ The dress pattern was found in the care of 'a Yeoman of the town living near, and the oh the person of the prisoner. Kingman was examined before Justice Davis yesterday morning and held in SBOO for trial It is but a few days since the robbery of a tin box, containing a large sum of money, on the West Side. The robber is yet loose. The listmighfc be extended, but it is unnecessary to mnltiplywords on thc.snbject . These things are suggestive. Citizens are getting; to bo fearful, and distrustful, and are constantly annoyed by their sense of insecuri ty. Why is it? . What shall be done that we may get rid ofuf : -• ,V :V : >r - . Recorder’s Court* Why Is It? ,*iSßh£r- Tlie Blstell Case. In the Superior Court in fall bench, a deci sion has been rendered adverse to the applica tion from BUsell, the alleged Bock Island bridge conspirator, for change of venue from the • Recorder's Court to the Superior Court. The arguments were heard in the matter a fortnight ago. This decision, after a careful hearing, is a stinging rebuke which the editor of the Democrat must - feel, even through his rhinoceros hide. - Column after column of venom and slander has been, by that sheet, h aped upon Recorder Wilson, District Attor ney Haven, and theofficers' of the Court, and now all this Is turned back upon the author, like chickens come home to roost. V It is astUlmore significant fact that since the decision above noted, an offer freely made by the prosecution to transfer the case to the Superior Court has been refused by Bissell and his counsel. What was wanted, after all, was not the furtherance of justice, but to fix a stain and smirch upon the former trial, that there from a weight might be thrown in the scale in Bissell’s favor. It will be remembered that the issue of the former trial and conviction, was defeated on. purely technical grounds, which the prisoner and his friends hod no hope would occur again, hence the machinery for a change of venue, which has liberally received the attention, and given large activity to the malignant hate of the Democrat for Recorder Wilson and his Court. The attempt to try the case against Bissel, out of Court, has been left to the defence and aided through motives above referred to, it has been characteristically attended to by the Democrat. Will that sheet now leave Bisscll to the result of. a fair trial unteached by out side influence—justice asksno more than that. In striking contrast with the reckless course of the Chicago partisan of Bis sell, in the attempt to bully and brow beat the prosecution deserves to be noted the fact that when in the progress of the former trial BUscll’s Chicago bail expressed a desire to deliver him up, they were dissuaded from such purpose by the prosecution, on the ground that the act in the progress of the trial would prejudice and endanger the interests of the defendant. Blssell’s trial will come up daring the pres ent term of tte Recorder’s Court. Barricades and Secession. —Matters had decidedly a warlike look about theTrcmont House yesterday. An excited foreigner from Palmettodom, in describing It, would say that a large force of workmen were throwing up earthworks on both fronts and digging a deep and broad moat. Perhaps his imagination would have seen ranged a tier of guns along the parapets, and inquiring within and finding Hamlin there, ho would make the rest of the story easy, to the effect that the Republican Vice President was putting his house ona war footing. All is peaceably explained by the statement that the Tremont House is to be raised bodily six feet, to grade, and that the work has ac tually begun. The Guards’ Volunteer Movement.— Pursuant to call, a meeting of our citizens was held at the Armory of the Highland Guards, in Lind’s Block, on Monday evening for the purpose of aiding and asslatiug in placing the Highland Guards in a proper con ditlonfor active service, if required. The Hall was crowded at an early hour with an enthu siastic audience. The meeting came to order by electingMsjor Wallis Chairman, and 'William Quinton Secre tary. After speeches from Messrs. McArthur, King, Jones, Perry, Harveyand Edgar, the fol io wing preamble and resolutions were passed: Whebsas, In the present troubled state of af • fairs-iu oar* tt-beaerves military company to prepare tbemeelvis for whatever du ties they may he called upon to discharge. There fore be it Rejoiced, That this meeting approves of the coarse taken by the Highland Guards to place their company in an efficient and available state, and ex tends them oar hearty co-opcration and sympathy, and recommends the young men of our city to en roll their names in some such organization. The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to call'npontlie citizens of Chicago to solicit uid for the company; Messrs. C. K. Jones, Capt. John McArthur. Capt. A. C. Du cat, Lieut.

McArthur and the officers of the Company in procuring arms and equipments from the State authori ties if possible, the present armament of the corps being entirely useless: Capt A. C. Du cat, Major Wallis, S. B. Perry, A. A. Wyllie and J. Lyle King. The ro'U of the Company was then opened forthe signatures of active members, when a number oi good men and true joined the Com pany. Tue meeting adjourned, subject to a call of Committee on Aid. The following is the Report of the above mentioned Committee: The undersigned, a committee appointed at a meeting held at the Highland Guard* Armorv. on the evenim: of the 4th fast., to solicit subscriptions from the citizens of Chicago, for the pnrposc of placing the Highland Guard in an efficient and available condition for active service, should occa sion require, respectfully give notice to the public that subscriptions will be received at the office of E. 1.
