During tho lineal year the Secretary has drawn upon (ho Treasurer llfly-nlno orders, numbered from 101 to 100 Inclusive, for the payment of obligations incurred by tho Institute, Ihe corresponding vouchors for which arc submitted. These orders amount in the Aggregate to the sum of $4,802,42, of which amount $2,810.80 lias I*ool expended for books, tho remainder being for miscellaneous expenses, such as salary of Assistant Librarian, insurance, repairs, etc. [The usual docu ments, list of names.of persona for whom orders were drawn, etc., accompanied the rojtorl.l In conclusion, the Secretary begs leave to congratu late (he Institute upon lie present prosperous condi tion, and to express his confidence that Its future prosperity and success are well assured by its record fur the last three year?. Tho report was accepted and adopted. TBB LimtAlllAN, Mr. Julius Rosenthal, made tho following report: The whole number of volumes added to tho library of the Chicago Law Institute since the last yearly mooting amount* to h77, consisting of Khollhu and American text-books, digests, statutes. periodical*, and EnglUh and American reports. All tho law books of any note published during tho year have been added m GQ7Q as they appeared, and the already large list of legal periodical* has been materially increased. The total number of books In our library is 8,135, among which there ore about 2,370 volumes of American re ports, and 920 English, Irish, and Scotch; 218 volumes of American statutes, and 331 volume* of session laws, 1,131 volumes of text-books, 167 volumes of digests, and 221 bound volumes of legal periodicals. Ah to American Reports, we liavo all, ex cept about 30 exceedingly scarce volumes, for which order* ary outstanding. H may not )>o uninteresting to you to learn that, according to Mr. Guernsey’* aletluHc*, In 1820—the time when the tirat volume of Kent's Commentaries was published—there were lu existence about 600 vol umes of Reports, both English and American. In 1839, there were about 530 American Reports alone. lu 1873, the number of American Reports had increased to about 2,346 volumes, and. during the year 1879, ninety-eight volumes of American Reports were pub lished. Wo are still deficient in original edition* of English Reports, as also in regard to the statute law* of usveral of tho State?. We have succeeded in secur ing a complete set of tho Philadelphia Law Library; a deportment of works on civil law, legal biography, and constitutional law and history—English and American—baa boon again opened—a good commence ment being already made. All tho later, and latest, English works on civil law will bo found in our schedule. Tbo following books have been lost during the year: Woguor’s Missouri Statutes, two volnmen; Cooley's Constitutional Limitations, one rolmno; Blackwell on Tax-Titles, one volume; Dillon on Municipal Corpora tion*, the second volume. A notice published in the Legal News for the return of those hooka was of no effect. Orders are outstand ing for a full set of the Lhw Journal Reports; the new senes of the Jurist; a full sot of the Weekly Iteporter { a duplicate set of HUnols Reports; and other works which. If they arrive, trill exhaust the balance of our treasury. Our thanks are due to the following donors: J. L. High,for his valuable treatise on “Extraordinary Reme dies”; U. C.

TEMPERANCE. Tho Lttdioa’ Cook County Totuperauoe Union met in tho chapol of (he Methodist Chnroh Block yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, about 150 being present. In the absence of tho President, Mrs. Qoorgo Hounds occupied tho chair. Tho moot ing opened with singing, reading of the 40th Psalm, and prayer by Mrs. Van Osdcll. On motion, a committee of throe, consisting of Mrs. Wirts, Mrs. Van Oadoll, end Mrs. Hobbs, was appointed to wait upon Mayor Colvin and request him to enforce tho ordinance prohibiting tho sale of liquor on election-day. After tho Committee had departed on thoir mission, tho ladies spent a few moments in of fering silent prayer that thoir errand might bo crowned with success. After tho singing of “ Rock of Ages,” Mrs. F. E. Qriflhlh, of Mt. Union, 0., was called upon, and said sho had more to say to women than to men. God bad u wonderful work for tho women of Amorioa to accomplish. Women wore pe culiarly adapted to work of a reformatory char acter 5 they had a nameless something about them that gave them faith in God arm humanity. Mon rondo promises to women quicker than to men, and kept vhem better. God bad instituted this temperance reform, and when Ho did so Ho not only meant tho eradication of tho giant evil, but wanted to show to woman that tho work of the world did not all belong to men. It wbb wrong for women to sit down and spend thoir lives in idle sorrow. If they prayed for tho ex termination of Intomneraoco (hoy mud also work for U. God worked through Hie spirit and hu man instrumentality combined. When they read of noblo-bcartcU missionaries going to hoathou lauds, it appeared to bo a grand and boiv achievement, but they forgot the heathen all around them at homo. When they consecrated themselves to the Lord thoy must give Him choir work also. It might prove a cross to many, but it would bo a cross twined with flowers and crowned with immortelles. Dared they think that every day ICO graves wore filled with drunkards, and not lift up thoir hands to stay the progress of that stupendous curse ? Mr* Grittoth' hero related several interesting incidents of the cru sade movement iu Ohio, and said tho crusade movement had had its day, and hod accomplish ed its work. In two States 800 “Baloonists”— —who called them—hod been converted, and now tiio.se who had not listened in morov must listen in judgment. As to the work in Chicago, oho said public sentiment must be worked up: pledges should be circulated; young ladies should combine, and organize, and go down through the dork valley of old-molacnhood rather than accept tho Attentions of a man who drauk, and thus thoy would become a power in tho land. She also spoko strongly against tho uso of fermented wines at thocommunion-tablo, and tho uso of liquors in cooking. Many a drunkard bad been made so at home. If tho women would but work, eho said, God would bo with thorn. During Mrs. Grlffoth's “talk,” the Committee appointed to wait upon Mayor Colvin arrived, and at this point reported that tho Mayor bad already issued a proclamation ordering the en forcement of tho ordinance to-day, and that ho apprehended no drunkenness. Mother Stuart related a few anecdotes of cru sade life iu Ohio, and indorsed tho opinions of Mrs. Griffoth on the use of fermented wines at the sacrament. A rising vote of thanks was then tendered to Mrs. Stuart for her presence and labors In Chi cago. After giving a notice of tho temperance mass-meeting in tbo evening, the following women’s pledge was then read by the Secretary, and a number of signatures aQixod, making 220 In all: VTe, the undfindpncil, women of Chicago, earorally pltdgo oiiT*oltM, in integrity nmt honor before Qofi, to aUtnln from tbs use and trafllo In Ml Intoxicating liquors as a beverage, and that vro vrlt not in any way oiler the same to others to be roused; and wo further solemnly covenant before Ood henceforth to work and and pray for the suppression of Intemperance as a oln against Ood and man, and that In this work wo will uko aurli means, and forward such mcasurco, as Ood shall direct through the Holy Spirit iu answer to prayer.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune 8m: I bog that you will allow me space In your columns to give to Hie nubile my positive denial to an article having reference to myself which appeared in your Sunday morning's ie.sue. While X can but smilo at tbo petty malice ot the writer of that article, I must frankly admit my morliilcatinn in being made to appear iu so piti ful a light before tbo friends and admirers or my husband. Gtatofully remembering as I over shall tho hearty and generous recognition which Mr. Manning has over mot from the public, 1 have little cause to resort to any cheap artifice to further aeauro hie popularity os an ortist in Lis profession. In toia Chicago will bear mo witness. Again. X were grossly Ignorant could I for a moment have supposed that a basket of (lowers placed directly upon tho railing of the box occupied by Miss Kellogg could by any possible chance bo intended for Mr. Schoolcraft, t rightly bellovo that tho llowora wore placed there ns a delicate compliment to tho distinguished singer. Tho fiowors presented to Mr. Manning wore not ordered or sent for by mo, and tho allusion to myself by Mr. Manning woo but a part of his act. Ho was under con tract to Mr. Aims at a salary of $l5O per week to contribute bis share of amusement to tho public; tbo audience came to laugh, and who should complain if they wore not disappointed? Mr. Mouning was, and is still, under tho doctor's care, Buffer ing will: bomorriiage of tbo lungs. Tho article in question, as referring to mo, was untrue in the extreme, as tho public bare loft me no room for envy or Jealousy. Bo far os my husband's reputation as anariist Is concerned, were I so potty and contemptible oa to barber such feel ings in my nature, if there bo jealousy or envy in any manner relating to Mr. Manning and any member of the company at tho Opera-House, tbo informer of tbo article in question can with more truth search at other doom than mine.
