turo in tho Times Of Sunday, expressing 4 |
very natural ttate Of annoyance at our stric-
turcs on Ills lecture before tho Young Mems |
Association, on Friday evening. Wacan hayo |
no possible reason to treat Mr.. iTaslstro, un-
kindly, 1t is grave charge TINT he brought |
before an audience lecture largely cmbcl- !
lisbcd with stolen matter. II It "a o fnlse |
charge NC should sincerely regret that 1t WIS
made. We sec no evidence that satisfies us on |
tho point, in his letter in his own behalf, !
Ourreportcr took the entirely usual course Of |
seeking to procure careful and thorough
abstract. Mr. Tasistro did not deem 1t an IN
noyaucc. None Of his predecessors. haye re-
garded the practice as other than tending to
: Go them oven better Justice than reporters
hasty notes Of tho lecture as delivered, could
furnish. Thus much, then, Of this share Of
Mr. Tnaistro's letter. Now, as to tho charge
Of plagiarism. Does hi. Tasistro stand forth
at this late day to claim joint authorship In
Mr.. March's book? Are some Of the most
notable sketches In the "Reminiscences Of
Congress- from his pen? II SO, let Us under
stand it. Certainly, they figured without credit
in this .lccturc-not simply confined to the
incomplete portion entrusted in advance to
our reporter, but prominent in other parts
Are they Mr.. Tasistro's? They certainly orc
to be found In extenso In volume with Hnacn
his maine has never been publicly associated.
This is tho whole extent Of the matter.
rl,e Tze-Distrtctfn. OF the City.
The new City Charter divides the city into
sixteen wards instead Of ten as heretofore.
thus allowing thirty-two members for the
Common Council instead Of twenty, the pre-
sent number. The charter provides that one
| alderman shall be elected from each Of
the sixteen wards next spring, ten Of the pro-
| sent incumberts holding over. This is mani
fcstly unjust. Some Of the wards will thus
be represented BY one member, others by two
or possibly three. In this manner some Sec
tions Of the city will be benefited while
others will suffer. It seems strange TINT the
ffancrs Of the new Charter did not reflect
| upon this. The new Charter should make IN
entirely new deal, and the Council should
either be composed of thirty-two members,
| two from each ward, or Of the sixteen
elected members, SO that no part Of tic city
shall be benefited ut TIE expense Of another.
a CorTos FACTORY IN Cn1oAao.-Wc un-
dcrstand that Henry ". Fuller, Esq., has been
for long time debating upon the expediency
Of erecting a cotton factory in this city. He
has laid his plans before some Of our more
prominent buslness mon and capitalists, and
met with such cooperation as to justify him
in commencing the enterprise. He has also
been in communication with Eastern capital
lists upon the subject, aad from that direction
comes the offer Of ''material aid.''
The proposed building is to be Of stone OF
coarse rock, bnilt in the most substantial
; manner, $50 by $50 feet, md three OF fou,
stories high. To erect this building and stock
; 1t with machinery would require capital o!
$l00, 900, over onc-haIf Of arAicA sum Is s.ou Of
.tsytd. A large number Of persons woult
: find employment in this factory, at onco In
creasing the population Of the city by induc
ing emigration from Eastern States. Thu
general benefits that would accrue to the city
are obvious, and need not be particularized
This will prove the first step Of q gigantic
system Of manufactures yet to be completed
in Chicago.
