THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1801.
NEVADA TERRITORY.
Gen. J. W. Nye, of Kew York, has been
appointed and confirmed as Governor ot
Nevada Territory.
A FOOLISH QUARREL.
The Democrat and Post are having a
quarrel over the mighty question, ’whether
the latter aheet was bribed to support the
charter amendments. We do not believe
the Posf was bribed at all Nobody throws
away cash in those tight times.
FORT SUMTER,
The telegraph informs us that the order
for the evacuation of Fort Sumter has been
sent to Charleston. Like the pulling of an
obdurate tooth, it is a thing to be done
quickly if done at aIL While the act itself
will occasion general and acute pain, the
anticipation is far less tolerable. Let us
trust that this ia Buchanan’s last legacy of
shame to the new Administration.
CARL SCHURZ, ESQ*
The President has tendered to Mr. Carl
Schurz of Wisconsin his choice of the
mission to Portugal or either of the mis
sions to South America, and it is staled
that he has accepted the former. There
are three first class missions to South
America—Brazil, Chili and Peru—with
salaries at $12,000 each. The mission to
Portugal is one of tho second in rank, with
a salary of $7,500 per annum. It appears,
therefore, that it was from no inclination
to proscribe citizens of foreign birth that
tho Sardinian mission was not given to
Mr. Schurz. The delicate and peculiar
relations subsisting between Sardinia and
Prussia, and Mr. Schurz’s unsettled ac
count with tbe Court of Berlin, have been
the sole reasons for giving to another per
son the place which we, In common with
nine-tenths of the Republican party in the
West, would have rejoiced to see assigned
to him.
THE CBiBTBII AND THE CITE
EIECXIOS.
The Democrat ia endeavoring to show
that (ha defeat of the Charier Amend
ments authorizes Mayor 'Wentworth to
hold office another year without re-election.
We presumed that this -would be the con
clusion of his clamor about “CourtHouse
clique,” “high taxes on manufacturers,”
and the like trash which he has dished up
from day to day.
As to the question of law raised hy the j
Democrat, whether the voting down of the
82d section—to wit: “This act shall take
effect from and after its passage,”—does not
invalidate the whole charter for the term
of at least sixty days from and after the
adjournment of the Legislature, we have
to say that the first section of the charter
declares;
“That the municipal elections in said city ahall
be held on the third Tuesday In April, at which
time there shall be elected by the qualified rulers
of eaid city, all officers to be elected at the general
municipal election. The first election shall he held
on the thlri Tuesday in. April 1801, and no special
election shall he held in said city for the electron
of city officers, except aa this act piovides.”
Every judge and every lawyer knows
that “ the intention of the law-maker is
the law.” If Mr. Wentworth thinks it was
the intention of the Legislature to leave
the city without a government for the com
ing two years, or to prevent the people
from choosing any officers during that pe
riod, he cm go before any competent court
after the April election and have the thing
tested. The duly and necessity of holding
an election on the third Tuesday in April
are equally clear. Any different course is
the sheerest lomfoolety. If any person in
the present city government deems him-
Eell better entitled to his office than any
person elected to succeed him, the courts
will decide which one is the legal officer,
and the decision will he acquiesced in and
sustained hy the people.
The Democrat's bubble about the Police
bill is equally maudlin and pointless. Two
or three weeks ago it alleged that some
body. else believed that the Police hill was
not regularly read in the Senate. It now
assumes the fact to he incontrovertible;
and If the matter ever goes before the Su
preme Court the files of the Chicago Dem
ocrat, we suppose, will he offered to rehut
the records in the Stale Department at
Springfield. '
Boq« Goatarus Koerner.
We find the following mean aspersion go
ing the rounds of our Illinois exchanges:
»• The Chic igo Poet says that Gov, Kocm«*r made
some pretty Serious opposition to the appointment
of Jndd, of Chicago, as minister to Berlin. Itix
eald that tho Governor wanted this appointment
himself.”
Wejluppen’toknow that Gov. Koerner never
stood in the way of Mr. Judd, nor Mr. Judd
In the way of Gov. Koerner, In the matter of
the Berlin mission. On the contrary, Gov. K.
•was consulted in regard to the appointment
of Mr. Judd, end gave his cordial and unqual
ified assent thereto. Wo are not aware that
Got. Kofimcr has been a candidate for any
thing in the gift of the President, but if he
-were so it is not likely that he would bo dis
appointed. '

OFFICE SEEKERS.
About forty clerks are required In the re
spective departments to read and file appli
cations for office. There are nineteen in tho
Post Office Department alone. No important
Ohio appointments have yet been made,though
th ey are gradually being screed on.
The pressure is so great on the President
from the West that he cannot settle the rela
tive claims of the hordes of office seekers.
Yesterday afternoon audio-day a large Bom
ber of Western men left forborne. Some con
tinue to arrive daily, and the number seems to
be equally balanced. Indian lans are here In'
swarms. Most of them are spending their
funds with pleasant prospects for returning
without office in the course of a few days.
Hundreds who arrive here soon become aware
of the small chance they stand. Gov. Chase
Is overran with office-seekers as usual, and at
times, too, when most of his official hours are
required for the business of the Department.

Tbe New Missouri Senator*
[From the St. Louis Democrat.]
Monday the General Assembly elected "Wal
do P. Johnson, Senator, to sacceed James S.
Green. In the Presidential contest Mr. John
son -was conspicuous as a supporter of Breckin
ridge. He was one of the Commissioners to
the Peace Conference, and we understand ex
hibited anythingbutadlsposition for compro
mise. Inpolitlcs be differs little, If at all, from
his predecessor. They are both conditional
or prospective Secessionists—extreme South
ern or States rights men. Personal considera
tions most, therefore, have decided the choice
of the majoiity in preferring him to Green. '
The Senator elect has always borne a high
character for integrity and personal propriety
of conduct among his neighbors, the people of
the Southwest, In the struggle between Ben
ton and his enemies, Judge Johnson sided
with Benton, and opposed Phelps. For varl
i oos reasons, we regard the election of Johnson
an omen ol the overthrow of Phelps, who, it
will be remembered, bad a very narrow escape
last August.
The number of Conditional Union men
elected to the Convention is an accurate crite
rion of what its strength was in the hour of
greatest excitement in the State. Xet Messrs,
polk and Johnson are of it and in it The
latter has lost no‘hlng by rejecting regular
nominations. - He supported Hancock Jack
son against the incumbent of the Executive
chair: he supported Breckinridge against
Douglas. In fact, he has laughed at Conven
tions and regular nominations. His election
plainly signalizes the rise of a new party on
the rains of the old Democratic party.
[From the St Louis Republican.]
Baring the past winter, Judge Johnson was
sent by the Assemblyas one oi the Commis
sioners to the Peace Congress, at Washington,
attended there, and recently gave an account
of hU mission to that body, which looked bo*
ceseionward. Explanations made prior to the
balloting, which resulted in his eleejion, leavo
room for doubt as to the extent which he is
willing to go lu that direction, and we shall
wait, now, for some authorized statement of
his political status. If disposed to represent
the people of Missouri, he will give up any
extreme opinions—such os have been main
t ined by Mr. Green—and seek to carry out
the wishes of a constituency which is now,
and Is likely for a long while to be, loyal to
the Union under the Constitution.
Exciting Scenes at Richmond* Va.
[Correspondence of the Morgantown (Va.) Star.]
Mr. Cariile on Thursday made a speech of
two hours length, which struck the Seces
sionists like a thunderbolt. It was decidedly
the boldest effort of the season. It came right
up to the point upon which the Union men
are bound to stand. It was very effective, and
though the galleries werenot so muchwithMr.
Cariile as with Mr. Willey, for he handled the
subject without gloves,) still the Union men
of the Convention were excessively pleased
with Mr. Cariile’s effort. As Mr, Cariile was
leaving the Convention, accompanied by two
very respectable lanies jrom his boardlrg
hsnse, he was hissed by the crowd. And this
in your great city of Richmond, where free
speech is guaranteed to every man
of rights and the la*e of Wa country,
I leam that O. Jennings Wise told a mem
ber of tbe Convention a few days ago that if
this Convention did not pass an ordinance of
secession, it ought to be driven from its hall
at thepolnt of the bayonet
The Hon. Wm. G. Brown offered resolutions
a few days ago, requesting the Virginia Sena
tors to resign. The next morning the Rich
mond Examiner abused him in tbe most vil
lainous gtjl.-, denouncing him as a brother, cr
son, or father of old John Brown. Wm. G.
Brown, who has been a life-long friend of the
South and its institutions, to be abused in this
style, simply because he chooses to advocate
bis sentiments, and evidence his devotion to
his country, shows that madness rules the
hour.
This afternoon & crowd assembled at the old
market and took down a Union flag, which
bad been floating there for many days, and
hoisted in its stead, amidst the cheers of the
crowd, the rattlesnake flag. Speeches were
made by several persons, among whom was
Charles Irving, Esq., Mr. Clemens’s second in
the duel with Wise. In the course of his re
marks Mr. Irving impressed upon the people
that resistance was not enough, that the true
policy was to drive the Convention out of the
city at the point of the bayonet. Scarcely had
Mr. Irving uttered these words when tbe mob
shouted, “ That’s it,” “That’s right,” “ Drive
them outand these cries were followed by
deafening cheers. This is hut a faint sketch of
some of the indignities to which your rep
resentatives are subject in this land of free
men. We have fallen upon sad times. It is
truly a reign of terror, but I hope it will not
last forever.

MOST SHOCKING CALAMITY.
THE FIRE ON DIVISION STREET.
TWO CniLDBES BURNED TO DEATH.
A most shocking calamity took place early
last evening on tho comer of Division street
and Clyboume avenue, In the North Division.
The alarm which was sounded for the Fifth
District a little after 7p, m. was caused by the
breaking out of afirointhe two-story frame
building located as above, owned by Richard
Thompson and occupied by John P. Lenx, be
low as a dry goods store and above by his
family, consisting of a wife and two children.
Mr. Lenz was about on an errand to the
city, and temporarily his wife was colled to at
tend upon the store below, leaving the two
boys, aged respectively three years and one
year, by themselves in the rear, or living room
upstairs, occupied as a kitchen. She had been
below about three quarters of an hour, and
asked a lady, a customer, to remain In the store
until she could go up and see tho children.
She went up stairs, and on opening the door
into the rear room, was met by a powerful vol
ume of smoke, which drove her back. She
at once gave the alarm, and then attempted to
enter the room, and creeping upon her hands
and knees passed around the entire extent of
the apartment, agonized!? calling upon her
little ones.
By the imminent peril of suffocation she
was driven again -into the ball, and there
she met a stranger who had been at
tracted by her loud screams. Again she
entered the rocm, the man following and at
tempting to hold her back. Both with diffi
culty got out a second turn', but by this time
the air given the fire, had filled the room with
flame which rapidly spread through the upper
part of the house. Even then the poor
mother was only held back by main force from
braving what must have proved self-destruc
tion, in quest of her darlings.
The general alarm was sounded promptly,
and the steamers were on the spot with little
delay and did efficient service in staying the
progress of the flames, which were confined
to the roof and upper part of the building.
The most intense excitement prevailed outside
as it came to be known that the children were
in the upper part of the house. Daring men
were ready and willing to brave everything,
but nothing could avail.
At one time when tlie room was bo well
cleared of smoke as to show that they were
not on the floor, it was hoped that by Home
unaccountable means the little ones wcr>i oat
of the building, Jast at this time the father
returned from the city, and to what a scene.
He and Chief Engineer Harris made every ex
ertion to enter and examine the upper part of
the building, and did so when the fire was
partly extinguished. There in a little clothes
closet opening off'the kitchen, were found the
half consumed little bodies of the children.
They were burned bayond recognition, and
the eldest almost beyond the semblance of hu
manity. They lay together, the larger partly
covering the younger, as if in their infant ter
ror they had crept to the closet for shelter.
The sight Wia a harrowing one and the most
profound sensation passed through the crowd
as the two little blackened and crisped bodies
were pityingly borne away to the residence of
the father of Mr. Lenz, a few blocks distant on
Goethe street.
The lesser share of the calamity maybe dis
posed of by briefly stating that the building, a
now frame structure, was injured in the upper
story to the amount of S3OO. The store was
opened here by Mr. Lcnz in January last. His
stock of dry goods was valued at $2,500, in
sured SSOO, and SIOO insurance on fixtures.
He holds a policy of SSOO on Ms furniture,
voided, however, by its removal from his for
mer place of resilience, his policy not having
been transferred. Mr. Lonz’s whole loss is la
the vicinity oi $2,800, less than one-fifth cov
ered by Insurance.
The origin of the fire can only bo conjec
tured. The distressed parents have not the
least idea how it could have been caused. It
was only seldom they were left alone, but as
Mr. Lenz’s business did not warrant an assist
ant, the wife was at times left with the premi
ses. The goods saved were much damaged by
water. The ill-fated couple, with the wreck
of their possessions and the poor remains of
their little ones, were removed to the house
of the elder Mr. Lenz at No. 302 Goethe street,
whore they passed the night
Word had been promptly sent to Coroner
James, and a little after 9p. ir. -when, oar re
porter visited the scene of the disaster he
found him there. The eight was a most sad
dening one. Two young parents, of the most
intelligent class of Germans, their hearts
wrung with this sadden and appalling stroke.
As tho father led the way to the front room,
whera In a large bureau drawer lay, covered
by a quilt, two shapeless masses, and drawing
down the covering said, pointing to
one little half burned body, “This was
our baby Johnny,” and to another, larger, by
its aide “ This was our eldest Carlie,”—as the
ear caught tho half suppressed moan of the
poor mother, hovering about the door, arudouSi
yet shrinking from a sight so appalling for a
mother to look upon, there was not a dry eye
in the group.
Mr. Lena is a young man of about 28, who
for eight years previous to January last, bad
been in the employ of Messrs. Cooley, Farwell
& Co.,and had so well won the confidence ofhls
employers by long and faithful service that
they had aided him in locating himself In bu
siness in a store of his own located as above
stated, in a neighborhood largely made up of
his own countrymen, and thither only a few
since he removed Ms wife and two sons, Char
les, aged three years and John one year old,
to a pretty home. How sadly have poor
Lena’s plans and prospects of happiness been
devastated.
An Inquest will be held this morning by
Coroner James. The funeral of the children
will take place this afternoon from 203 Goethe
staeeL The heart of every parent will sympa
thise as only parents can, with the surviving,
victims of this, one of the saddest calamities
that has for years visited the city.
Secession for Family Use.
Last week one of our Chicago detectives
received a dispatch from LaCrosse signed by a
Mr. Goldthwattc, asking him to arrest detain
and stop his runaway and seceding family,
consisting of Mrs. Goldthwaite, aged about
twenty-flve, and two young sons. Capt Brad
ley on this hint went to the train on its arrival
hero and had no difficulty in identifying the
party.
On showing the dispatch, the wife, an Intel
ligent, sharp and wide-awake looking woman,
consented to go to the Briggs House and
await there there the coming of the deserted
Goldthwaite. She did so, and the husband
reached Chicago by tho next train. In the
meantime Mrs. Goldthwaite had expounded to
the officer, and to mine hosts of the Briggs
House the grounds of her departure, her right
to w Setetsion ,” and her determination to resist
“ Coercion ,” and the surrender of the boys,
and tho public property she had seized.
When the injured Goldthwaite arrived ,we
wish we could say be made an excellent im
pression on the officer and the new-found
friends of the woman. They insisted she
should he entirely free to go or stay as she
choie. ’ A long Conference was held, and she,
throughout, held' to her ‘determination to go
homo with her boys to her native beatt ** in
Now Hampshire, and teetotally “ dissolve the
Union” with Goldthwaite.
The latter begged and plead, but she re
mained fast and firm to her intent When the
hour came for her departure in the omnibus
for the cars, the husband became demonstra
stratlve, and proceeded to a laying on ofhands,
whereupon the lady screamed forhdpi and in
troduced a claws or two into the face of he**
liege lord that will leave him a written record
of the event.
'Mine hosts of the Briggs House interfered,
and bid Mia. Goldthwalte go her way. and she
wenti and ere this is safe at home in the Gran
ite She complained of cfqel treatment
and neglect on the part of her husband, which
hud led to a' complete alienation of feeling,
without which there can be no Union, large or
small. The deserted G. has gone home to
La Crosse sadder and wiser on the point of wo*
man's will and woman’s way-
CHICAGO, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1861.
Important Daemon Agalut the City*
The case of Tattle, Green <fc Co. against- the
city of Chicago, has been on trial before J odge
Goodrich of the Superior Court for three days.
It resulted yesterday morning in a verdict for
the plaintifia of $4,500. The plfllntlfis in 1858
were lumber dealers, having a yard on the cast
side of the south branch of Chicago river, at
Van Buren street The city determined to
erect a new bridge across the river at that
point, and also to widen the stream by dredg
ing. Bat owing to some mistake of some of
the city officers, who thought it unnecessary,
the usual proceedings required by law for the
condemnation of private property for public
use were not taken. The contract for-the
bridge and center protection was made with
contractors —the city itself undertook to do
the dredging. The work progressed during
three months in the summer. In the course
of it, large quantities of material for the bridge
were piled on the plaintiffs’ dock, and a con*
slderable proportion of the dock itself was
tom away and destroyed. The plaintifis
claimed that these obstructions interrupted
and had the effect, virtually, of breaking, up
their business.
They were only tenants of the premises, and
the action was trespass and for injury to the
possession. The trespasses on the part of the
city were not denied, but for part of them it
was insisted the contractors alone were re
sponsible. The main controversy in the case
was as to the proper mcaenre-of damages to
be allowed, and as to the sort of evidence ad
missible to prove damages.

A New Process for purifying Oils.
It is a fact conceded by all who have had ex
perience in lubricating machinery, that fish
oils have greater body and are more durable
than any other, and the fact of the particles
being globular, perfectly adapts them for
lubricating purposes.
But there is an universal objection to their
use on account of the fiberous and gummy
substance contained in them, which every per
son who has used them on machinery perfect
ly understands.
We have recently had brought to onr notice,
a process by which all the gnm and Impurities
are takenbut, leaving the oil pure and trans
parent, so nice that many are procuring it for
sewing machines.

Illinois School op Trade.— Some three
years since, 3. Dyhrenforth of this city, wno
'was prepared and qualified by a long experi
ence in the practical details, of business life,
opened a School of Trade at Waukegan with
view to instruct students in the details and
mode of transacting business. His experi
ment was successful, and with the opening of
the present year ho established a Branch
School of Trade in Chicago, over the Bank of
I, H. Burch & Co., which is well attended and
flourishing. Such progress indeed has the In
stitution made that, contrary to the original
plan it .is believed it will bo necessary to keep
open the evening classes until midsummer.
These latter favor a very large class of young
men who are disposed to employ their leisure
hours for their own advancement. Such as
these and all others could desire no better
teacher than Mr. Dybrenfurth.
Arrest por Largest op s9oo.—Onr city
readers will remember that some weeks since,
in & moßtmysterious manner,the room of L. J.
Hnsa, a furrier on the West Side, was entered
in the day time and a tin box containing S9OO
abstracted. The empty box was little later
found in an adjoining outhouse. The only
cine to the affair was the statement of a young
girl, that she had seen. a man, whose descrip
tion she gave, opening a bos In the shed in
question.
The case was given to Messrs, Bradley & Co.,
and so well followed up that a few days since
officer Whitney Frank arrested on board a ca
nal boat on the Illinois River, near Lasalle. a
named J. W. Fhelan, believed to have
been the guilty party. He has been brought
to this city and is folly identified by the girl.
Ho will he examined to*day before Justice

«. tho City of Chicago: *
OPINION BYXnitF JUSTICE WILSON. h
This is an action of assumpsit to recover of the p
city the amount of an aa&es.-Tncht made upon the p
anihorltyof the dty for property of the plaintiff p
taken and appropriated for extending La Sallo ri
street. •, *-• ‘ ' r<
The action la cased upon the assumption that tl
the city promlsedto collect and pay over" the w
amount of the assessment within a reasonable k
time, and that it has failed to do so. a
The power exercised la tho right of eminent do- 1‘
main conferred nron the city hy ita charter. The ti
city having exerefeed the power, the law imposed t
the obligation to\proceed with reasonable dill- Ii
genes, and one whose property is thus appropript- .t
ed to nubile use, may compel thcciiy by mandamus a
to proceed, and collect and pay over tuck assess- Ji
mant- ' . a
Higgins vs. tho Sty of Chicago, is El. 270. In n
this class of property may be taken s
for public uses, yithout the consent and even t
against the will oCthe owner, the Constitution, n
requires that compensation be made and imposes a
: this duty upon th£State pr Corporation exercising
this power. .In thft.case of a corporation liable to L
banned, an action tm the care is maintainable for e
negligence or xrarelsonable delay In tbe perform- t
1 slice of Ita doty. JMcCnllogh-4he Mayor &c. of v
i Brooklyn, 93 WencU 455.
I I understand t'seflupreme Court to have,decided s
lln this case notmcxely that an action of assumpsit c
. foe moaeyUadandjt-ceivcd could be maintained if t
i the city had collected the awcismenr, (for of this a
there can beno dodbt).bnt I tew this action for not V
collecting in reasonable time fs maintalnsNe. t
See this'case reported in &4 EL, 105. If this is c
' po, tho only question remaining is whether tlie
facts ehowjhat thpldefendmil has delayed an un- t
reasonable time inflecting thij assessment. *
The assessment’ was made and confirmed by the t
Common Council op the 9th of June, 3SSS. And on i
the same day, theybassed an order for a warrant t
to collect the assesKhunt, and -the Collector pro- *
ceeded and collected 1 $28,913.03, and returned tho t
balance uncollecteds?.tdy, 2d, 1856, and on that day <
the Common Councjunade on order: that the lota
on whicn assessments were unpaid be sold to pay -
assessment and lasted warrant. t
This sole was coigmenced March 2nd, 1859,' al* 1
most three years after the assessment was confirm
ed, and two aud a half years after the Couucil or
dered a sale of the lands assessed. ' ,
The lien upon theiandsby the charter continued '
only two years from; the coulinnation of : tbe as
sessment. The warrant for- the sale of personal
property to satisfy assessment havlngbeon return- i
ed, and two years haring elapsed after the confirm- l
ation without collection Ihe assessment, it la an- (
parent that the dty Lad no power when this suit ]
was commenced to collect the assessment, and a j
Court would not even award a mandamus to com- j
pelhertocollectnafpscsement bythetale Of tho .
lands alter the lien had ceased. The only remedy
left for the plaintiff fea by suit. 1
The city by collect the assessment of i
those assessed to p»y*it had deprived the plaintiff <
of the special provision the la a* had made fur Lis i
■compensation, and Jwithout hiich provision, the ,
land could not be taken for public me. It is clour
chat if ho cannot recover in this action, ho cannot
obtain compensation at all.
And as to the question of unreasonable delay, 1
tbe Legislature, It Wdnld seem, had settled that by
limiting the lien to swo years; certainly a delay
beyond the two year?.deprived the plaliuifl'ot the
only means of compensation provided by law uv.dvt
the Charter, and it Itf difficult to conceive whet de
lay would be unreasonable if this was not, for fur
ther delay for any length of time would place'tho
plaintiff in no worse position.
It is insisted by the city that it was prevented
from collecting In consequence of injunctions. If
Ibis la so by the charter, tho time during which
they were enjoined I* to he excluded tu reckoning
tho two years.
Tho first injunction was issued at the suit of tho
Board of Supervisors of Cookcouuiy vs. Tbe City,
September 1856, to restrain them from selling thu
Court House Square upon the warrant issued tu col
lector Colby on the 26th of Jul -' 1350, under an or- I -
der of the Common Council. The second injuuc- J ’
tionwas at the suit of V. E. Eoscoe, issued on tho j
29th day of January, 1857. Others threatened to en
join and by agreement between them and the City
Attorney—the city agreed not to proceed against
those parties and that tber would abide by the de
cision in the case of Roscoe.
The whole amount assessed. upon the, laid of
Roscoc and the otherpartics to the agreement wa i
only $7,230.32—whi1e the balance due on tbecs
opcßmcnr roll over what had been collected, was
$108,916.18.
In roe case of the County vs. Tbo City, this Court
decided in 1856 that the warrant to Colby was.ln
valid—yet that case was not dismissed till April 7,
1830, four months after tho Suprem- Court n tho
case of The City vs. Colby, 20 111.,614, had decided
the warrant to Colby invalid. The cite of Koscoe
was dlsmisscdMov. 5,1853. Admitting that with
out regard to tho confirmatory act of February,
1857. tbo lien would continue upon the lots of Eos
coe and those who made the agreement to abide
the event of that salt, Ism at a lues to discover
how this could continue the lien upon the property
of those who had obtained no injunction or ex
cused the city from proceeding to. obtain an order
to sell each property. .If this doctrine is sustain
ed, then one man b.> enjoining the sale of a single
lot in an assessment may controue ihe Hen npon
all other lots assessed indefinitely, and excnee the
city from all further proceedings* till such case Is
decided. The complainant in such cose would
have no motive to move iu tbe case, and tho city
could if she desired keep men's property encum
bered by lien perpetually. Such a doctrine is not
sustained upon any legal principle. Tbe injunc
tion only operates upon the lota to which it lufera,
and the exception intbA charter extending the lieu
by reason of the rojanvston can extend no farther.
The Supremo Jourt ia the case of the City vs.
Colby, 20 111-, 614, decided that the order of the
Common Council for sale of lots, was invalid and
that the order could only be made by the County
Court, under the act of March Ist, 1834. This de
cision was made at tbe November term, 1858—more
than two years after tho confirmation of tbe as
sessment. Inconsequence of this and the act of
Feb. 10,1857, the Court of Common Pleas refused
a judgment against the lots assessed m January
1859. No application was made for judgment in
January 1858. to the Court of Common Pltas.at the
term at which judgments wero rendered upon its
and assessment roll*, except by Collector Colby.
But judgment was refo-ca on the ground that uc
was not the proper party to apply under the act of
Feb. lSs7,as was insisted by the City Attorney. Bat
forthls, judgment might have been obtaiucufrom
tbe County Court before Feb. IC, 1557, or from tho
Court of Common Pleas, January 1833, against
> most of tbe property.
After the decision in City v?. Colby, no applica
tion could be made for judgment till the following
January, and after the Hun upon tbe lota bad ex
pired. There was, therefore, no laches in not ap
plying for judgment alter that decision, for, unfor
tunately, it was too late. Thc act of 1857 had con
’ firmed tho assessment so an to appropriate the
■ plaintiff’s land, and the City could not obtain judg- I
ment against the a?sassed: lots because tbe Hen 1
i had expired—the new act making no provision for :
l continuing the Hen.
■ But it is contended by the City, that the whole
1 proceeding is void, aud numerous grounds are
* stated. But Ido not deem It necessary to decide
r upon this branch of the argument except as to the
L dollar mark question, so called, for if tbe act of
i February 16,1857, makes the assessment valid, as
r it assumed to do, it may be admitted that tho as
-1 aessment was invalid independent of tho act.
1 Numerous authorities have been cited to show
that the Legislature cannot make valid a void act.
;* This is, doubtless, true in relation to all acts
1 wherein tbe Legislature assumes J adichtl functions
y and attempts to settle the rights of propeity be
tween man and man, and moat of the cases cited
* embody this principle, and I fully subscribe to this
r doctrine.
9 There is, on the other hand, a large class ofcasca
0 In relation to proceedings for the coudemnat;on of
s private property for public use where acts of tbe
Legislature have been declared to be effective in
r matins IrreguLr and Void proceedings valid ret
rospectively. _

Now wfjateyer insy ’be fhe technical defects In
this assessment inasmuch as compensation was u
•, provided. The Legis alnro might have authorized y:
■Q the city to take this property in tho precise man- .
ncr it was attempted to betaken. Admitting that Ik
as the law stood, many provisions were not com- T
4 plied with. If they might do it in the first In
stance, how do they become incompetent to waiye, 11
e what they might have omitted! it being mailer
it of discretion to insist upon not In the firtt
, instance. Tee city Is deprived of no right, for by G
L act she is obtaining what she eonght to do, bus q]
;e failed to effect by ner own errors and mistakes. t
And the owner of the land is ceprivcd of no right fil
for he has his compensation secured, and the pub
lic npon that condition have a right to bis land.

til opinion of tho Court, says •
iq “In tbe assessment roll'are twp columns, one

with the provisions of the charter In relation to
opening streets and as I understand tbe principle
adopted by the Supreme Court in the case of Cub
eon vs. Chicago, is all that is necessary.
Tho objection certainly comes with a bad grace
from t’:e city. The acts being to confirm defects
in her own proceedings, wbich arc presumed to
have been taken in good faith to effect a lawful
Sose. By the act, property is condemned jo
ic use, and the plaintiff is deprived of all
power ard control over it, as property, except tha
right to retain the possession, as security, until he
receives compensation. I know of no way in which
the plaintiff* property can be restored. If the street
was discontinued he would obtain no title to it. I
know of no law authorizing the citv to convey. In
anyview. It Is not the pleiutUTs proper!? now. It
is oat of the power of the city to collect compensa
tion In tee manner provided by law, and it either
the fault or misfortune of the city that it is so. If
It Is her f->nl f . and by her negligence, as she has ob
tained the plaintiff’s property without his consent,
and aga’.nrt hla will upon tbe common principles of
Justice she should he held liable to make compen
sation. Kills her misfortune that her advisers
mistook the law, and she was thus pieced in a po
sition that she could not obtain compensation from
those who shouldmake it, such ml=foitone ought
not to be visited npon the plaintiff, who had no
agency in producing the result.
it is true, as suggested !u araument, that the
large amourt of this assessment unpaid will neces
sarily he paid by tbe citizens at large. Instead of
thos-j who are specially benefited aa the law pro
vides.
This, however, i? no answer to the plaintiff. If
a corporation Is liable tor the dilatory proceedings
of those who rcpre-ent her. when tho law imposes
upon her a duty which she performs so negligently
as to cause injury to another, his Is undoubted
ly tbe law, and as U e Supreme Court have decided
that the law implies a promise on the part of the
city to perform that duty within a reasonable time.
I can tee no ground for refusing Judgment in
this case, conceding, aa I do, that the Common
Council and City Attorney, and counsel acted in
good faith and did everything wlrch they deemed
it their duty to do/and that they made every effort
to prosecute the matter 1 igorously and as speedflv
as possible, yet thero’has been legal negligence, if
the Court is to presume that corporations, like in
dividuals. know the law.
It 1* due to the ci.-unsel, Messrs. Farwell Ss

Quarterly Report r.r the Tenth Ward
Temperance Legion*
During the past quarter this Society, as be
fore, has held semi-monthly meetings in Ed
wards’ Chapel, which have been regularly in
creasing in enthusiastic interest. ‘ it has been
succ ssivtly addressed by the following elo
quent friends of Temperance: Rev. Dr. T. M.
Eddy, Rev. Dr. Tiffany, Roila A. Law, Esq.,
C. J. Hull, Esq., Rev. J. Hartman, Her. Henry
Cox, and Rev. Henry Whipple.
By an error in the last quarterly report the
name of Dr. N. S. Davis, who has favored the
Legion with several most appropriate and in
structive lectures, was omitted.
All these lectures, given gratuitously from
love to the cause, were equal in value to many
for which hundreds of dollars are paid when
given in our public balls.
Connected with these meeting a Juvenile
Temperance Society has been formed, called
“ The Band of Hope,” like those now so suc
csrsfol iu Great Britain.
The Legion, uniting with many other of our
citizens, has petitioned the Legislature to pass
a Prohibitory Liquor law. The expense of
lighting and warming the chapel having been
generously borne by the Vice President, our
only pecuniary collections were given as a
mite to aid the sufferers In Kansas and to pro
vide badges for the Band of Hope.
Seventy-nine new members have taken the
pledge la the last quarter, making one hun
dred and seventy-nine in the past six months.
And our labors and example have, we arc as
sured, induced many more to cease from
drinking.
E. S. Weils, Esq., having kindly invited tho
Society to hold its next meeting ia Metropoli
tan Hull, and hoping greatly to enlarge our
fluid of usefulne-s, the name of the organiza
tion was chanted from the “Tenth Ward ” to
that of “ the Chicago Temperance Legion.”
Encouraged by past success, the L gion en
ters upon Its new quarter with increased de
termination to use efficient means to save
our fellow-citizens from that destroyer that has
murdered scores of our inhabitants in the past
, six mouths. 'Who that loves his city will not
Join xis in efforts to barricade ihc way to tho
drunkard's grave ? Take your friend that has
been a drunkard and bring him to the next
meeting at Metropolitan Hall, on Monday,
April Ist, at 7 o’clock, and hear the Rev. Dr.
Boyd of this city, and with that friend take the
solemn pledge aud save many a widow’s son
from the drinking places ofour city and from
the blood thirsty tiger’s grasp.
Officers unanimously chosen for the next
quarter are Robert Barry, President; C. J.
