CHICAGO, Nov, i,-G0vcrnor
Palmer has written letter to the
Attorney.General, directing him TO
present tho facts in regard to the
killing of General Grosyenor to the
grand jury of Cook county. Gov
Palmer argues that the act was the
result of usu?paiion on the part OF
General Sheridan aud others.
Gov. Palmer after alluding to tho
circular, proceeding To the death OF
Col. Grosvcn0r, concludes:
II think you will perceive il is
now the duty of the Governor and
Attorncy.GoncrIl and all other Of
iicers, to see that tho laws aro en-.
forced against all parties concerned
in these illegal and dangerous acts.
II is not necessary in determining
upon the limo of duty to bc adopt
cd, to enquire whether the Mayor of
Chicago, Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan and
Frank Y. Sherman and his ass0ci-
ates, and supposed subordinatcs,
who were agents by which the death
OF Thomas Grosvcnor was produced,
in assuming powers they did not
possess, and which cannot be con.
icrrcd upon them, were influenced
by proper or improper motives, or
purpose. They assumed to suspend
the opcrationot the constitution and
laws of the State and substitute in
their stead, law and force to be dc.
fined as applied by themselves.
They by their lawless acts attack
ed and insuIted the dignity and au-
thoritv of the State, and have by
their dangerous example weaken
ed the public confidence in the
Constitution and laws, and in their
attempt to enforce usurped and law
less authority, they have sacrificed
the life ola peaccablc citizen An
mated by their confdence,and the
confident belief that the State of
Illinois acting through the proper
department of itsown people can
enforcing the dignity of its own
laws | have to rcqucsthat you IN
conjunction with the States Attor-
ncy of the circuit will bring all
the facts before thegrand jury Of

sons concerned in the unlawful kill

just rs the struggling parties OF

their old homes, the advanced
guard of the Grand Army of lmmi-
grafton comes in. We see them
passing westward through our town,
and we hear of them coming South
ward through the Indian Territory,
and entering npon the sunny land
of Texas, with internal wealth,
greater than has caused the Indies
of the East to abound in evidences
of tangible riches-the pompons
splendors of barbaric glare. Our
wealth is not much in glittcrlng
ore, but fatty black soil, in alluviaI
river bottoms; in superficial and
subterrancan deposits of iron almost
pure; of coal in immense bodies; in
Gypsum, Salt and Copper. But
the greatest of all-the most valua-
bic, the most extended, the most
readily conv cruble into the uses of
life is the 'ich black soil; though the
iron is superfciaIly presented, rich,
and covering an immense area, in
many parts of the State.
So we have land out of which
untiring industry does not exhaust
itself for compensating returns; but
Il land in which the least industri-
Gus may live easily, though plainly;
but in which untlinching industry
is certain to grow rich by accumu'
lating its fruits.
And of all this land, and it has
immense areas of fertility, pleasant

pality for what he could sell Il lit
tie farm for where he is, that all

ever saw elsewhere, without regard
to temporary valuation by dollars,
and he cannot err, unless rich
enough and in all respects pleased,
if he sells out and comes to Texas.

ASSASSINATION OF TIE ACTING
CHIEF JUSTICE OF lNDA.-Mr. JUS

Of the High Court Of Judicature at
Calcutta, who died on the 2lst ult.,
from wounds received the previous
day at the hands of an assassin,
was the son of II Sommersctshlrc

in 1852 In 1856 he became auth
lzcd Reporter for the court of Ex-
chequer' and in 1861 was given the
,iudgcship of the Supreme Court ut
Calcutta. He enjoyed the reputa-
ton of II profound jnrist, and wad
peculiarly gentle, kind and cour-
icous, though never tiinching from
his own opinion. A few months ago
he was appointed to act as Chief
Justice during the absence OF Sir
Richard Couch.
The murderer, who is believed to
be a mber oft Wahabee conspir-
cy, ascertaincd at what time the
court opened, and waited on the
steps until the arrival of Mr. Justice
Norman, whom he struck with a
tapering Goorkia knife. when
stabbed, Justice Norm fell, but
recovered himself and ran, then
stopped and flung brick ut the
murderer, who was promptly cap,
tured. Mr.. Justice Norman receiv.
ed one wound in the abdomen and
another on the left shoulder be-
tween the spine and blade bone
The murderer made no defence. In
reply to % question, he said that
Hearth is sunk below the waters
and the men have gone up to the
skies the dog is eating the wall.
He is believed to be foigning mad
ness. He is a wild, ignorant man.
and evidently an adept at murder
1t is believed that the crime had
some connection with the final tria
of Ameer Khan, a leading Wahabee
which was to take place in short
time.

to apportion the quota Of taxation

councils arc to elect members of the

The time has gone by to be either

r,uIldIng Societies In England,


have come 10 hc IN important ica.
ture in the labor reform movement
there, and are closely identified with
the improved industrial life of the
kingdom, in spite of ariStocratic
opposition. II middlc.class Is being
constituted thereby which will he
the strength, perhaps the salvation
of tho nation. Tho value of the
dwellings which, through those 50.
cieties have become the property of
workingmcn, is estimated ut 81 900.
OOO, 900. y great many OF these
societies are called Buwkclt soci.
cites, from DR.. Bowkclt, who orig.
mated them. The Fundamental
principle IL that, by certain ar-
rangcment, men uniting together,
can realize ih tho first instance the
same amount of interest for their
own savings tnat they are accuS-
toned to pay for the use Of other
peoples money; next, that they can
practically obtain 0nc-tourth more
than that rate Of interest; and next,
that the rate of interest is compound
interest. The result is, that whilc
ordinary men, out Of their savings
can secure very little indeed, thro'.
out their lifetime, ii they arc poor,
yet if those small earnings accumu-
late at high rates Of compound in
tcrcsJ il is sufficient absolutely to
emancipato any Of them, or all of
them, from poverty. In Birming-
ham alone, 1900 houses belong to
the workingmcn through this agcn-
cy, and there are Streets more than
IL mile long, wherein every house is
the property Of the working classes.
The society does not build hoascs,
but lends the money to IL member
to build. The streets are all drain
cd, and every man is bound to drain
INTO the main sewer. The society
advances on the certificate of the
surveyor as the work proceeds, al.
ways taking care not to advance
too much. lfa man goes to II sale
and buys by auction, the surveyor
goes with him by order Of the com
mittee, and charge is paid if he
buys the property; but if he gives
more for it than tho surveyor has
valued it at, he must find the sur
plus himself
These Birmingham societies also
serve as banks of deposit. a SER
want girl can put away fifty dollars,
draw thereon ten shillings II year,
aud at months notice get back
every cent, with interest up to the
time notice was given. A great
love for freehold exists in Birming-
ham, and thousands ofworkingmen
possess them. The great object of
the land society is to buy II large
estate; to buy land wholesale, and
sell it to the members at the whole
sale price. Thus the society gave
lately E33,O0O for one estate, AMI
divided it, after draining it, into
nearly 500 aIotments. "Thc first
thing we do" says the secretary,
sis to have u plan made of the land;
then streets are made aud drained,
foot-roads are paved and curbcd,
and cutters are formed, and so on,
and whatever it. costs is added tn
the original cost of the land. Thus
great deal of the old wrctchdencsS
among English workmen is done
away with the only trouble is they
are adding another element to the
force that promises to make an un-
easy throne for the Prince of Wales
to sit upon.
