f: ne 2lss Of January next en- which day
!. sill finally be settled the much discne-
ed question Of Who is to draw he
opera House p So far as the public is
oncerned, the enterprise is = success
he sales have realized TIE value of the
property, arrangements for the convey
ncy Of the Opera House and lot and
he distribution OF the paintings and
other premiums have been concluded,
and the matter is practically in the hands
Of the committee. No similar scheme
was ever organized in America on so
grand a scale, and none ever occasioned
4 1.-THE OF the interest throughout the en-
tire country Its successful accomplish
ment is, therefore, a matter OF great
satisfaction. In ease there should be
any lingering doubts in the minds ofany
as to the perfect good faith and imparti-
atty with which the drawing Will be
conducted, we may state our belief that
no intelligent person in Chicago doubts
that the interests Of every ticket holder
will be carefully guarded, or that the
distribution will take place with perfect
fairness; the position and standing Of
the gentlemen who have the management
of the drawing are sufficient guarantee
OF this. They are. moreover, adding to
their number gentlemen as well known
from other cities. that the entire country
may be represented in the committee.
Mr.. Crosby himself will have no more
control over the drawing than any hold er
Of single ticket in the scheme. 1t is
proper, however, that, in the interest
and qualification excited by the approach
Of the drawing, we do not entirely lose
sight Of the object Of the scheme, which
is to dispose of his magnificent Opera
House so as to realize it's first cost To
accomplish this, it is requisite that all
the certificates should be sold
It has taken more time to conduct the
enterprise than was expected; it has
been advertised with unparalleled liber-
atty, and all the expenses have largely
exceeded the original estimates. twill
therefore, readily be seen that Mr.. Cros-
by;s prospects of realizing any advan-
tages from this vast undertaking depend
upon the remaining certificates being
disposed of at the earliest day possible.
Let Mr.. Crosbv's expenses, which have
been SO heavy, cease now, that he may
realize something like a fair valuation
for his property. There are thousands
who intend purchasing before the draw
ing takes place, and it can make no pos
sible difference to them whether they
buy this week or four weeks hence, bat if
they sOiU all buy noao, the expense which
will in consequence be saved will materi-
ally aid in securing a surplus. Chicago

TREAsURKR's OFFIcE.-The eligibility
of Maj. JOHN SIN. Treasurer elect of
this County, is called in question, from
the fact that he has never been natural
lied. He came to this county, from
England, when about thirteen years old.
his father died ia England, having NOV
ed there from Scotland, where the Major
was born. He has been in this country
for nearly thirty four years-he has
voted, held office, served his country as
soldier in snppressing the late slave
holders rebellion, and lost the use of his
good right arm by rebel bullet, and
neither himself or any of his friends
ever dreamed that he was not, to all in
tents and purposes, bona fde citizen of
the United States. Had it not been for
human -cormorant, who failed to get
the prey lie had asked the people to give
him, and was refused by an overwhelm-
ing majority, this dernier resort, of
ousting brave, worthy, and crippled
soldier, who was exposing his life to the
bullets of the en- envy, whilst his opponent
was at home, actively engaged with his
copperhead party denouncing the war as
g failure" and decrying it as mig
ger war" never would have been thought

From the written opinions We have
seen of some of our leading Attornies,
the election is void, and another election
will have to be held next Fall for Treas
urer- Major SIM, who has already
given proof of his attacilm ent to his
adopted country ''by his works. will
become citizen in form, as he has been
in fact, and will then be candidate,
and grateful people will re- affirm their
verdict, and again elect him by more
decisive vote than he received last Fall.

THE END TIE SLAVE TRADs.--There is one
short passage in the Report of the Secretary of the
Navy, just presented TO Congress, which, probably
overlooked amid the imposing details given in that
document of the strength of naval arm, and the
movements of squadrons in different parts of
the world merits, think, particular notice. 1. is
this
But SLAYER has been fitted out the southern
coast of Africa within the past and she has b
captured the coast of Cuba with hsr cargo 1t was
the opinion Of prominent officials at ,ando, ncludng
the French Admiral that station, that the slave
trade had expired and that this blot cvza had
become at last matter of history
We also ind the following in the report:
"The vessels the West India station were in.
structed to exercise vigilance in detecting savers add
preventing the sla~etrade. provided any lingering
remains Of that nefarious traffic sti existed Blu. no
captures bare been made, and IL is be hoped this
infamous trade is extinguished."
So. il would appear it is to be the happiness of the
present generation witness the lust Of of the
greatest curses with which humanity has ever been
afflicted the extinction of the -.scum of all VII
