the Board Of Trade By the following section
Of It's cherter:
EEc 10. Said corporation shall have power to
appoint Que qr more persons, as tseE naaF see it,
to exnmins, weigh, MEASURE, ga1ge,, or inspect.

IsquiEing Or asserting to the employment Of sach

ne ne employment by any one, OF any sueh appoin-
As tlis section has nerer been repealed, 1t
follows, as matter Of course, that the Com
mon Council, BY proposing to pass an ordi-
nance Of the above nature, are attempting to
arrogate to themselves powers which do not
belong 10 them. It Is IN attempt to place in
responsible positions worthless politicians, in
place Of men Of character and experience,
chosen By merchants who are daily buying
and selling the property to be inspected, and
who arc ratheE more competent to Judge Of
the fitness or un1tness Of inspectors than
aldermen, no matter what politics they may
profess.
g. But The ordinance Itself has some clauses
which would undoubtedly greatly damagethe
Flonr Trade Of Chicago. One of these Is
worded so as to compel the inspection Of
every barrel Of -four offered for sale in this
city, and the payment Of d tax therefor, no
matter whether the buyer and seller desire it
or not. This, OF course, would drive large
proportion Of our receipts to other markets,
and so injurc the general business Of the city.
But what of thats Coppcrhead politicians
must have fat offices to pay them for double
voting and bal1ot-bo1 stuttlng, and let the
city suffer.

The Chairman addressed the Blshop, briefly
stating the object Of the occasion, to meet

Bishop Simpson said 1t was with no ordl-
nary feeling that he met lis friends on this
