A PERTINENT IEQuIRT.-There Is section
Of the city charter which VIC Wish our readers to
retd. It is In chapter eecion 20 Of the revised
city charter. The following ia the text:
"But no person ehal1 be eligible to any office or
plaee under this any other act In relation TO said
Is ss o nos T.
thereof; and any person shall he considered de-
faulter who has refused or neglected, OF may here
nadc, to account er and pay orer 10 ts party au-
thortacd to receiYc the snme, any public money
which may hare come into his possesslon+'
There is q certain city official who holds IN i'm
portant and lucrative position directly under the
eye OF the Mayor, who filed similar responsible
oficefn 1855 under the administration Of Tom Dyer
of immortal memory. At that time moneys came
into his hands By virtue Of his official position. In
1857, Republican Mayor was elected, and this man
LEFT the position he held, and took With him seyer
hundred dollars belonging to the City Treasury
funds which had been set aside for the payment Of
street lAborefs and jurymen, and moneys belonging
to individuals Deposited for tho redemption OF lots
sold for taxes. The then City Comptroller vainly
endeayorcd to have him restore this money to the
City Treasurer and up to the close Of the last Re-
publican administration had signally failed. In
hie last report Comptroller Hayes makes no men-
ton Of lts having been paid over, md tho conclu-
sion Is Irresistible that he has 1t still.
This man was again appointed to office by May
or Sherman, and by virtue ofhis office is intrusted
with the safe keeping OF the valuable papers and
documents Of the city. By provieion Of the new
charter, he does not now handle money The peo-
pie are interested In knowing If that money FORM
erty carried away BY him is returned, and II not by
what right he, under the provisions Of the charter
standing at the head Of this article, fills the Office
Of City Clerk Of the city Of Chicago. We desire
light upon this snbject. Can any one inform us II
this money has been returned VIII Mr. Z1m-
me,mrn or his friends tell uss

Ing of the 9Th Of August, 1871, the following or
dinance passed the then Common Council Of the
city Of Chicago: ....,
An ORDINANCE concerning Disloyal Citizens.
Be Il 0rdained BY the Common couac'' Of ase
City Qf Chicago:
Tint any citizen Of the United States, who Is
now Or may hereafter become an inhabttant Of this
city who Ia not ready to take the oath Of allegiance
TO The Government Of the United States. be and Is
hereby requested to leave the city Immediately md
that the Citizens Union Defense Committee be re-
quested to investigate and ascertain with regard to
the views Of any suspicious individuals and re-
quest that they shall take such OATH md In case Of
refren1. to publlsh the names Of such persons In
the daily newspapers Of this city, and report the
fact Is ascctta1ned. +.
Sec. 9 That the said Committee be requested to
make the necessary arrangement for the edmlnis-
tratton Of euch oaths, With come qualified officer,
50 that there shall be no expense incurred By the
person required to prove bis loyalty.
The effect Of that ordinance was satisfactory.
Many Of the traitors who were then anxious to give
their friends over the border material aid and CON-
fort, were induced to suspend operations. John
Comteky believes that the time has arrived when 1t
will be safe to remove all restraints from cur cd-
zcns, and allow them to publicly sympathizc with
the traitors if they elect, and go several weeks
since introduced IN ordinance rcpealing this for
mer ordinance, and allowing the traitors Of Chicago
to help their Southern friends with men, money
and sympathy, II they choose The ordinance In
t1oduced by him WAS referred to the COMMITTEE on
Police, where it now sleeps.
