with the further services Of Alderman Barrett,
Of Tie mott pcstilcnt coppcshcads In the Common

The Third Ward Unionfsts have one OF the finest 1
halls in the South Division, and tonight they ex-
poet to see 1t filed and oyerdowing with the loyal
men Of this and nljacent wards. There will be cx

RrNoRs.-A rumor WIS current on the
street yesterday, that certain coppcEhcad Alder
man OF the West Division, had concluded to ex-
change this beautiful city and the Ward he repre-
seEtp, for Hore saluhrious dwelling place near
the eeaboard. Els Irish Coppethead friends arci
consoIable. They would regret his absence less
hs he not left behind him certain documents which
will enable them always 10 hold him In adectfoaatc
remembrance. Before he departed, he borrowed,
it II said. Ill the money he could raise, from his
political friends, giving therefor his autograph
notee Of hand, eincc when nothing has been heard
of him. The politicians over the river should not
take this matter too seriously. We not say thft
1t is according te natur" for Coppelhead Alder
man to abuse bis political friends, but we do say
that when man, entrusted with responsible po
sitiou, lends himself to further the Ti1lalnous
schemes OF traitors and disloyal men, whether
in office or ont of 1t, VIC arc fully
prepared to believe that he will commit the smaller
ofense without sny particular twinge Of conscience.
An Alderman may be subject to impecnniostty,
like other men, and in thAt erent be may DO just

province to decide just now.
REcaU1TEG The recent announcement
that the quota Of Cook county undcr ul1 the calls
for soldiers ia largely exceeded, has taken this COM
munity BY surprise. Although not yet officially
confined by the Provost Marshal General there Is
| general disposition to accept the announcement
az true. It ia get too carly to determine what its
| effect viii be upon culistnentt. The Inference Ia
that they Will cease, OF very nearly cease, unless
stimulated BY the continuance Of high bounties.
The County War Fund Committee arc still paying
bountlea, and we presume will do 20 until oticia1
notice shall hare been received that the quota il
full, md no further immediate call Ia anticipated.
There was como talk yesterday that the bounues
should cease altogether, hut the manifest Injustice
Of tuch course, and the uncertainty which pre-
walls In relation to the quota and credits, will
doubtless deter the esmmittee from euch IN inJu'

veteran soldiers which must be kept. When the
Board Of superTifors decided to offer the same
bounties to veterans that they did to ncr recruits
VIC thought the: did unHise]y, but having offered
to pay them, thcs are morally and legally sbound to
pay them to srefy one without partin1tty OF favor
Wehope the policy Of continuing bonntIes w.n be
adhered to until the let Of june indicated BY the
resolutions passed BY the Board Of Supervisors.
Up to noon Yesterday, e,ooz men had been paid by
the County Committee, and by tonight this num-
bc1 will doubtless aggregate e,10o. The Provost
Marshal enlisted ten men yesterday, aud the other
recruiting officers about thirty.
THEN AND Now.-There is work extani
which has wonderful interest to the tax payers O
Chicago Just now. Itis entitled 'The City Comp
tsollers Anuunl Statement Of the Receipts ads
Expenditures Of the City Of Chicago. from Apsi
1st, 1e6a, TO April 1Bt, 1863" In ordinary time.
this li:tle work would be looked upon as dul
array OF facts and figures, bat now it has all tn

we'll bc stated that the work is out Of print. III
Historical Society has single copy done up Il
gold and yellum, which good Dr.. Barry ehowa t.
The curious, never forgetting, however, to keep

historical value, and he may well be pardoncd, II
notwithstanding 1t bears the imprint Of the Cop
