There Is considerable dissatisfaction among
tbo conductors on tbo Madison and Baudolpb
street linos of borso-cars, regarding tbo patent
register which tney are required to carry sue
}>ondod from tbo shoulder. They are not al
owod to see Abo register after handing it in at
tbe office, and consequently do not know wheth
er tbov are treated fairly or not. Borne assort
that tbe register like tbe Tice motor, is n worth
less piece of moi'hsnlsm, and that tbo registra
tion of fares by it is but little bettor than gooes
work. Tho conductors claim that they are
cheated day by day out of sums varying from 10
cents to rl. Yesterday two cars on tbo Han
dolpb-streot lino were laid off, because there
were no conductors to run them. These regis
ters, however, have beau thoroughly toetca at
tbo East, and aro found to bo oaly too accurate.
That is what hurts tbo conductors.

A meeting of rcaidoota on tbo lino of tbe
Milwaukee Division of the Northwestern Hoad
waa held yesterday afternoon in tbe office of
Warren, Keeney & Co., to take measures to pro*

resenting tbe Towns of llavenswood. Bummer
dale, Itogere Hark, tbo three Kvaustous. and
Wilmette.
It was settled to adjourn to Monday at 3 p. m.
In tbe dob-room of tbe Sherman House, at which
time and place theio ia expected to be a large
representation of all tbo towns ou tbe line, Tbo
Committee on Resolutions will present a series
of resolutions to that meeting for consideration
and, perhaps, adoption.
It baa been before noted that Gen. /. D. Web
ikt im suttcring torn m acute attack of ty*
phold pneumonia. Yesterday bo grow worse,
and daring the afternoon It wn.* {sported that ho
could not outlive tho night. During tho evening
he Improved somewhat, and an inquiry as
to bis condition made at midnight was answered
with the information that ho was considerably
easier and better.
THE " TIMES.”
It OAS GONE OTEU TO TUB DSMOCIIAOT.
Por two or throe days past there baa been a
good deal of quiet ohuealing among tbo leaders
of tho Democratic parly in this city over the
fact that arrangements bad boon almost, if not
absolutely, consummated whereby tho party will
bo placed in tho possession of an organ, which
shall givo utterance to nothing but genuine
yard-wide, dyod-ln-tbo-wool Bonrbumsm. Bomo
two or throo weeks ago propositions were mado
to purchase tbo Courier, and an agreement was
made, though not placed iu writing, whereby
several loading Democrats woro to obtain tbo
control of that paper. Percy, however, changed
bin mind, doubled np Ins price, and thought be
had a sure thing. Tbo trade fell through, and
tho Democrats turned their attention
elsewhere. Tho recent visit of Dan
O'Hara, Fred Winston. Tom Hoyno, and
n few other loaders of tbo groat imterriflod to
Washington, while It was nob successful in ob
taining for Chicago tho honor of holding tho
Democratic Natioual Convention, was not a fail
ure. Those gentlemen thoro met Gov. Tildon,
of Now York, and other A No. 1 Eastern Demo
crats, to whom was explained the absolute neces
sity of an organ In tho West. They pleaded
that now was tho accepted time, and (bo
day of salvation; that tho groat Democratic
heart of the Northwest was boating londiy for
ah organ, and if tbo Eastern Democrats wanted
to do anything towards securing tho victory in
tbo approaching Presidential race, they should
come down with pecuniary assistance for either
tho purchase or maintenance of a strict party
iuno-griodor. Tbo proposition was taken un
der advisement, and a favorable answer
was returned. Bam Tildon agreed, on behalf of
himself ami a few political friends, to put up
£50,000. Other distinguished opponents of Re
publicanism agreed (o subscribe, and (ho Chi
cago Committee came home In tho most joyous
manner. The toasts that were dramc to tho suc
cess of tho schemo wore numerous, and hope
boat high whore hope had boon a strauger for
many years.
Some six months ago, the story ires current in
newspaper and political circles that J. Kterlmg
Motion, a prominent citizen of Nebraska, was
about to come to this city and secure a half-in
terest in the Times, and assume tbo manage
meut thereof, while Mr. Storey was in Europe, a
trip which that gentleman contemplated at
that time. For eotao reason or another
the scheme fell through. Mr. Morton did not
purchase the half interest in the Times, and Mr.
Storey did not go to Earopo.
On tho return of Messrs. O'llara. Hoyno, et
al., with tho promises of tho Eastern Domocrstlo
magnates, negotiations wore entered into with
Mr. Morton, who by tho way is an in
timate friend of Mr. Storey, whereby
he might bo induced to renew bin
dosiro for fame and glory as tho editor-in-chief
of the Times, lie agreed to do so. Several
conferences wore then hold with the “old man
persistent," and a basis for a trade was agreed
upon. The Times property, buildings, machin
ery, etc., were scheduled and appraised, and a
completion of . figures w«s achieved,
showing tho expenses and receipts of
tbo establishment. That tbo array of
numerals proved satisfactory, Booms evident
from tbo foot that arrangements havo boon per
fected within a day or two far changes in the
editorial staff. Mr. John D. Bolhwoll, late of
tho Courier, will assume an important editorial
function under tho now management, which, it
is stated, will go into effect about the Ist prox. It
Is rooro than hkoly that tho gonial Dan O’ilara,
who has abjured ail dosiro for ofilco-holdlng,
will havo something to sav about tho editorial
conduct of tho paper, and may contribute daily
his views on tho situation for tbo delectation of
tbo patrons of tho paper. Tho price agreed
upon has not transpired, as those who aro inter
ested decline to tnako it public.
THE FARCE OF INVESTIGATION."
AS PLATED BY THE COUNTY BOARD COKTANT.
Again tbo iovostigatlon of Recorder Jim Stew

tbo Committee on Public Records of tbo County
Board agreed to meet at the Recorder's office
Wednesday morning and .begin a thorough
examination of the books, bnt only Commission*
or Malloy made himself conspicuous by his
presence. Bo nothing was done that day; nor
tbo next. After patting off the preliminaries as
long as consistent with tbo tomoer of tbo public,
the Committee Anally camo together yesterday
morning. Tboy were in no haste, however, but

He wanted his innocence to bo shown at once,
and the sooner tho Committee walked into hh»

bo bod previously boon bolding mysterious con

dered around tho office with a wilted and bewil

soon as tboy decently could, Chief-Clerk Over

them tbo receipt-book and tbe pay-roll, bat bo
might as well have exhibited to them a tablet of
hieroglyphics, Tboy did not persevere. At about
11 o'clock they assembled in Stewart's private of
fice and began a conference as to
TUB VLAN TO BB BUMPED.
Commissioner Mulloy, Chairman of tbo Com
mittee, acted as moderator.
Commissioner Holden thought they had better
decide upon some definite course of action. For
bis part, bo did not boliove there was anything
wrong in tbe Becordor's office, but tbe Board
bod instructed them to investigate, and there
fore they ought to Investigate. Ho did not boo
exactly how they were to get at it.
Commissioner Carroll seconded tbo sentiment
of bis colleague os to tho correct condition of
tbo Becordet’s accounts. lie had hoard it stated
Inst tbo Hecordor was behind in bis cosh, and
had not pain his employes, but be did not bo

Btewart shook bands with him very gravely,

Now came Mulloy’s turn. He said that be bad

ALD. M’CLORY.
ACTION OP TUB COMMON OODKCIX*
A called mooting of the Common Connell was
held yesterday afternoon to take action on tho
death of Aid. McClory, Tho attendance was a
very foil ono. Tho obair and desk of tho de
ceased Alderman were ornamented with crape in
token of tho grief of tho Council.
On taking the chair President Dixon said that
tho meeting had been called in response to a
general desire to take some action on account of
tho sad event which had saddened their hearts.
Tho calamity was tho more deeply felt because
ovory member of the Council had so familiarly
known deceased ; they had mot him in the
Council chambers Tuesday evening, and tho
speaker said that ho hod soon him in the Mayor's
cilice oolv two hours before the sad accident
had happened. Ho was at that time on a mis
sion of charity—one congenial to hia tortnpora
tnent. Tho speaKor ban seen deceased before
him for four years, nud had always recognized
him as a worthy man.
ALD. COLLEUTOS
said (fist it hod become his sad duty (0 announce
tho death of his colleague, anil tho burden was
made heavier by tho (ntrmato relations which ho
had sustained to deceased, which mode It tho
most distressing occurrouco of his life. Mr.
McClory was true as steel to hie friends, nud
kind and thoughtful iu his domestic relations.
After passing some further compliments to tho
character of deceased, tho speaker offered tho
following resolutions:
WnxnxAft. Divine Providence has removed from life
and our midst our respected, honored, and beloved
colleague Patrick McClory; therefore bo It
iUtaltAt, That, while we receive the bereavement
with due submission, we would express our deep sor
row at the loss which wo, in common with his friends
and tbo public, have sustained. Deceased had been a
resident of Chicago for many years, during which
period he had filled many positions of Importance and
trust, and to bis credit it may truthfully Do said that
In ell his associations public and private bo Imre a
character above reproach. Ito was respected and es
teemed by ail who knew him, and bw loss brings sor
row to a very large circle of mourning friends, a loss
infinitely mors severe by the particular conjuncture In
which ithappened.
JleaoteeJ, That the City Connell hereby tender to (he
bereaved family their heartfelt sympithy in this their
hour of deep distress and affliction, and direct that
these resolutions of respect and oomJolonoobo promul
gated to the various departments of tho City Govern
ment; and that all city offices be closed for ono day
Immediately following the adoption hereof.
JUenltrd, That this Council, os a mark of respect to
the memory of the Alderman Patrick McClory, do at
tend his funeral, and that o committee of three from
each division of tbo city bo appointed by tbe Obair to
make UlO necessary arrangements.
Jleiolved, That tho City Clerk bo and he is hereby di
rected to spread upon tho Journal of this Council tbo
foregoing resolutions, nnd that copies thereof bo fur
nished to tbo press for publication, and also a copy be
scut lo the family of deceased.
ALP. BCHAVFNSR
in seconding tho resolutions, said he desired to
pay a tribute of respect to the high regard in
wnicb lie held (bo late Patrick McClory. This
was the first time tho Council bad, during tho
speaker's term of service in it, been called on to
mourn tho loss of a member. Ho had always
found deceased courteous, generous, and bind,
and it bad always scorned bis greatest pleasure
to bo of service to some quo. The speaker clon
ed by warning his bearers that any one or them
might bo tbe noxt to no called on by Death, and
it therefore behooved them to bo prepared fur
his visit.
Tbo resolutions woro (ben passed by a unani
mous voto.
On motion of Aid. Richardson it waa voted
that tho Connell moot in its chamber at 9 this
morning to attend tho funeral of Mr. McClory.
Aid. Cullorloa announced that tho mmains

EVANS’ PROGRESS.
TESrEBDAT's COLLECTIONS.
The time allotted to Mike Evans for collecting
the personal taxes, and lu fact of oil the Town*
Collectors, expired yontosday by Umitailon of
tbo warrant given them under the State law.
However, the County Treasurer baa extended
tbo time for collecting tbo persons! tax by the
Collectors to tbo 20tb lost. It is claimed that*
under this extension tho Collectors can still go
on and make levies for persona! taxes. Tbcro
Is a division of opinion on this subject, and emi
nent legal talent bold that no levies can now bo
made by the Town-Collectors, as tbo warrant
limited them to tbo 10th of March, and no ex
tension could bo bad unless the .Legislature bad
grantod that power. County-Attorney Boun
treo, so Miko Evans says, bos told
him that bo could still levy where
the payment of personal taxes is
refused, but Mike prefers to got other legal ad
vice upon the subject before endeavoring to
force a collection,
Tbo South Town Collector's office was crowd
ed nearly all day yesterday by people who came
there to pay tbolr taxes. Tko receipts wore very
large, and will aggregate over $50,000. Among
those who paid were tbo Tbird National Bank,
about $16,«00{ tbo Union National, nearly
$23,000, iuclodiog taxes on real estate; Hoatu
A Milligan, $1,725.60; J. A E. W. Block!, 20
Market street, $591. Borne of tbo taxes wore
collected after levies bad been made. During
tbo day tbo millinery establishment of 35, J.
liobsoo. No. Cl Washington street, was taken
possession of by a custodian, for a tax of
$609,40. This, however, will bo amicably set
tled.
Mr. ’William IT. Coolbangb is without doubt
tbe heaviest taxed mau for personal property at
his roaidenoo. Tbo fool of an Assessor placed
tbo estimate for household effects at $12,000,
which tbe State Board liberally raised 62 per
coot, making it slß,2iu in all. This seems liko
idling it on out of all proportion. The Union
National Bank is also taxed twice on a portion of
its capital stock, as a part is invested lb real
estate, which is taxed os well as the shares.
This seems unjust, and (ho same thing has been
done with several other National Banks, which
own their banking buildings.
Mike will continue in office ton days longer,
and will have his ropoit ready about April 1.
Tho delinquent lists aro now being made out,
and will bo completed about tbo 25tU lust. lu
tho meantime, parties desirous of paying their
real estate taxes can do so, and save costs of ad
vertising, ole. Evans says there is about $150,-
OUU of personal tax which ho cannot collect at
all, tho parties having sold out, or loft town.
THE COUNTY BUILDING.
Tbe Collector of tho Tbwn of Niles yesterday
turned bis books and casb over to the County
Treasurer.
Judge McAllister was bettor yostordar, and,
dropping Into tbo building, said be hoped to be
ready for work Monday.
W. Bidnoy Young, lately connected with Mo.
Vlckor's Theatre, was yootorday consigned to tbo
insane department of the County Jail.
The County Agent roporta that be is now mak
ing a revlsitatiou of tboso receiving suppliee
from the county, with a view to cutting down
the list to the lowest possible number.
Coroner Oletzsch u mentioned, among many
others, aa a candidate for Sheriff ibis fall, tiinoo
tbo party electing him baa given up tbo ghost,
however, bis party affiliations for tbo future aro
a little uncertain.
Tbo Grand Jury yesterday gave some alien
tlou to tbo Wilcke murder case, which is so old
that most people have lust sight of It. Aa usual
witnesses wero scares, and the case bad to bo
deferred until tbis morning.
Tbe Road Inspectors of tbe county yesterday
ordered all toll-gates to ho thrown open, except
ou tbo KUtou and Northwestern road*. Tbis
Is a triumph of tbo public over the Countv
Hoard aud tbo owuers of tho roads. 1
Homo timo ago Superintendent Hiokev aakod
tbo County Hoard to appoint au attorney to
prosecute cases iu tbe Polico Courts. Tbo q<h
cessuv of such an appointment wiii be laid bo*
loro Judge MoAUUter Monday, and tbo Hoard
will act ou bis advice.
Commissioner Cleary carries in bis pocket al.
ready tho names of twenty-five persona who aro
enxioua to sorvo ou tho next Grand Jury. This
fact will convoy to (he public an idea of tbe de
sirableness, in tbe eyes of a cousin class, of be
ing sppolnted Jurors.
i In 1872 1). S. Fisk petitioned tbe County
Board for the payment of a county bond for

J. M. Hanson, of Brooklyn, a oopltallst, and
holder of a considerable amount of Cook County
bonds, b&a addressed tbo County Treasurer m
reference to tbo now Court-House, inclosing a
lengthy description of a court-house and city
hall Just completed in that city at a cost of
£1,328,676.78. Ho says tho building Is without
Its equal in tbo country, is Just what Chicago
wants, and bis object In writing was to
have the authorities Inspect it before
lotting the contracts for the Court-House, oto
Tho description, If not overdrawn, would lead
ouo to suppose that a similar structure would
moot the wants of this county and cltv, and tbo
fact that its cost is a little more than half what
Is proposed to bo expended here would seem to
make It advisable to examine plans astloat. If
tbo examination dooo nothing else, it may load
as out of our present architect war.
TUB JJOSTiTAL JOD.
Tbo lotting of tbb contract to Sexton for tho
work on tbo now Hospital by tba County
Board, in tho face of tbo foot that
tboro woro lower and equally responsi
ble bidders, will, • it is highly probable,
bo reconsidered. Thero Is great dissatisfaction
among some members of the Board with tbe
conduct of Architect Cochrane in tbo matter,
tbo allegation being that bio estimate was en
tirely too high, and that bo manifested an undue
interest iu having tbo award made to Sexton.
A reconsideration, however, can amount to but
little, for the reason that K would not materially
ebaugo tbo lotting,—that ie, it would leave tbo
job practically whore it now is, in tho bands
mostly of men -who have enbeistodoa county
contracts, so skillfully have the bids been
made. If there bos boon any money used to
eoouro tbo award to Sexton, it ie thought that it
has boon disbursed by tbe old combination of
contractors, with tbe understanding that they
would coma ia under blm as subcontractors,
which, as already intimated, nas been agreed up
on, to which compact be must bare been a
party. It ia apparent that tbo only hope the
jmbllo have for relief in tbo matter u to bo
found In tbo better members of UlO Board in
quiring into tbo conduct of tbo architect and
tbo correctness of his estimates, and by roadvor
tifling for bids. A simple reconsideration of
Sexton's contract, it is evident, would leave tbo
work Just whore it is, and result in covering up
whatever of wrong thoro was lo tbe original lot
ting of tbo contract.

Police Officers Race and Watson had a farther
examination yesterday on tho' charge preferred
by a man who complained that ho had been

that tbo complainant was drunk and fighting

will probably got a “ lecture " on tho principles
of humanity from Bapt. Mickey. The idea tnat,
when a mao has been arrested after fighting tbo

Ottawa, Can,, March B.—la (bo House last
night, Mr. Workman moved an amendment to
tho motion to go into Committee on the Supply
bill. Tbo amendment road oa followst
Tbit House deeply regrets that tbo Government has
not proposed to Parliament a policy of Increased pro
tection to our various and Important manufacturing
industry,—the large amount now Invested therein and
their present depressed condition rendering such n
policy necessary to restore them to aconditlon of pros
perity.
Mr. Workman eupportod the smondmont in a
long speech, recapitulating arguments previous
ly addressed to tho House on tbo same subject.
A number of members spoke for and against
tbo amendment. 1
Bir John A. Macdonald said ho'wolcoracd Mr.
Workman’s motion as one of direct want of con
lldonce in the Government, and expressed tho
opinion that tho circumstances of tbo country
called for a roller of protection both to manu
facturers and agriculturists. Ho read a passage
from an edition of John Stuart Mill’s work in
support of protection, aod said our national ob
ligations would require for many years to como
heavy taxation, and direct taxation was an im
possibility. This, ho argued, made on Increase
in customs duties essential, and he alleged that
tho policy of his Government since IKJ9 had boon
tho same os that ho now advocated and applaud
ed. Tbo national policy of 1870 and 1871 admit
ted that slaughtering could not bo prevented,
but though it could be alleviated.
Mr. Mackenzie in reply reminded Mr. Mao
donald that John Stuart Mill had, in a letter to
Horace Qrooloy, publicly withdrawn tho state
ments he made on protection. Mr. Mackenzie
avowed his life-long disapproval of protection,
and Illustrated the success of free trade by rof
oronco to tho roporQ of tho BminU Navigation
laws on tbo one hand, and tho ovils of protec
tion by its effect on American shipping on tho
oilier. Ho wont on to show that protection, if
effectual, meant no revenue from customs, and
a poll-tax upon tho people to supply the de
ficiency. At tnq conclusion of Mr. Mackenzie's
speech tho house divided on tbo amendment,
and tbo vote stood: Yeas, 61 j nays, 110.
