CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 2.--The strike of the
clothing cutters has lasted fourteen days
and still continues with no prospect of
cessation. The Plasterers' Union, four
hundred strong quit work to-day because
employers proposed to reduce their
wages to 81 per day. They were getting
s., having demanded dollar extra
some time ago and getting it. They
say the bosses have made contracts on
the basis of s., and want to speculate
on their wages.
The firms owning all the abstracts of

to the county, which will probably be
done.
The Chicago Typographical Union
held its regular meeting Saturday. Its
legitimate proceedings were varied by
the introduction of resolution to the
effect that Horace Greeley was the frs
choice of the Union for President. The
resolution was received with a perfect
storm of applause, mingled with Kisses,
which the chair was powerless to APP
pease. No vote was taken, the Union
not being political society.

THE sHRrEyALrY CONTESTS

Yesterday change took place in the
Office of Sheriff, General Wright retiring
and Colonel Curry taking possession
under the late writ of custer issued by
the Supreme Court. The change is a
significant one when taken in connection
with the approaching shrievalty contest.
Colonel Curry being in office, his chances
are thereby improved. the man in Of
fee" having as usual, large number
of admirers and friends, the majority Of
whom, of course, want something. This
gives Colonel Curry few hundred votes
which he would not have got had he re-
manned oat of Office, his patronage con-
trolling at least two hundred votes.
In social and business point OF
view Colonel Curry has made himself
quite popular with the Southern people,
and may secure few votes on that &C
count. He will receive the undivided
white and black Radical vote. In 1870
he received in the city 1888 votes, and in
the country 455-total, 1913. Colonel
Curry's advocacy Of Grant and his I'M
swerving fidelity to Radicalism is not a
popular position to take in this Southern
country, and although it is admitted that
he made a good sheriff, yet his political
predictions will materially weaken his
chances of success in the shrieyalty
race. His vote at the ensuing election
will run up to about 1000, and this vote
Mr.. Jack Doyle, his opponent, has to
encounter. In the shrieyalty election
Of 1870, 94O9 votes were cast for
the candidates, Wright and Curry.
Mr.. Doyle has all the elements
of popularity and strength. He
will, no doubt, receive at least five
thousand votes throughout the county.
His war and peace records are every
thing they should be. Being conserva-
tive to the core and thoroughly identi-
fed with the people of the South, his
claims as against his opponent cannot
be ignored. The Office of Sheriff is the
most important in the county, and is ca
pable of being used as political en-
CINE. No man can divest himself of his
political predictions during heated
contest, and he will find himself uncon-
sciously aiding his friends by virtue of
his office, and this he can do without
acting corruptly. 1t is to the interest
of the people of Shelby county to elect
a square out Conservative man in 1872
to the office of Shorthand that man is
Jack Doyle.

BAD LEGISLATION.

The bench of county justices, known
as the Quarterly Court, met yesterday
and did both wise and foolish thing
The order heretofore made providing for
the advance of their own per diem from
two TO five dollars was reeinded. there
being no law in existence authorizing
such an advance. This was wise legis-
lation; but the action Of the court re-
ending the order granting to the judges
of our courts two thousand dollars per
annum additional salary lin county
scrip was unwise, because the allowance
is admissible under the law organizing
the courts, and the Quarterly Court
but acted in accordance with the
provisions of the law when such ad-
ditional allowance was granted to the
judges. The consequence Of this hasty
legislation will probably be, that some
of our judges will have TO resign, the
salary Of S25OO per annum allowed by
the State not being sufficient to induce
any respectable lawyer to abandon his
practice for the bench. A cheap judi
ciary is nuisance, because it win be
composed Of poor lawyers who never
controlled a practice. 1t is said that
the reason governing the justices in
this matter was that, if they were not
authorized by law to collect FIVE dollars
per diem, the judges were not entitled
70 the additional allowance. No pro
vision exists on the statute authorizing
even BY implication an advance Of a
justices pay from two to Eve dollars,
unless it could be deducible, according
70 learned justice, from the fact that
the lay does not provide that a justice
on the Quarterly Court bench shall not
be allowed more than two dollars a day
an amusing but weak argument.
On the other hand, the Quarterly Court
is sutborizvd BY Law to make the allow
ance to the judges. Il lie TO b hoped

TIE pALTIMoRE CONVENTION.

The Baltimore Convention will con-
tain ZIG delegates, of whom $50 have
already been chosen. 1t appears that Of
the thirty.five States that have held con-
ventions and appointed delegates to Bal
timore, only one (Delaware) has in
structed in favor of nominating a
straight Democratic ticket. In all those
States where the delegates have been
left uninstructed, especially those that
have held conventions since the Greeley
ticket was nominated, the preference
is clearly for that ticket. As the
matter now stands, it is fair to presume
that the recommendation of the Greeley
ticket by the Baltimore Convention will
be almost unanimous. This course has
been decreed in advance by the people.
The thing is settled beyond peradven-
ture. The withdrawal of Judge Davis
and the expressed determination of Mr..
Groesbeck to decline the nomination
rendered him by the boilers at New
York, fixes the fact that there will be
but two tickets before the country
Greeley and Brown and Grant and
the friends of the latter
already read their doom.

NEW YORK.

New YoRE, July 2.-The great strug-
gle for the supremacy of the American
turf between Harry Bassett and Long
fellow is to be decided on Monmouth
Course this afternoon. Three races are
anticipated to-day, and this important
contest probably will not be run before
three o'clock this afternoon. Both
horses are in excellent condition, and
their respective owners are equally con-
fdent of success. There are fifteen
horses entered for the race, but besides
Bassett and Longfellow, 1t is thought,
there will be only two others started. 1t
is announced that Harper's Littleton
and McDaniels' Abdelkore win also
contend in the great struggle for the
Monmouth cup, thus leaving Harpers
and McDaniels' stables as the only con-
testants for the greatest race of the sea-
son. Pool selling last night averaged
one hundred to eighty-fiye in favor of
Bassett. 1t is estimated that the race
will be witnessed by over one hundred
thousand spectators.
The difficulty between the Erie railroad
and Jay Gould has at length eliminated
in legal proceedings being instituted
against the latter, and yesterday volu-
minous complaint was served on Gould's
counsel by the lawyers for the Erie rail-
way Since the new management Of the
Erie company was inaugurated, the
company's attorney, assisted by Presi-
dent Dix and the Board of Directors,
has been diligently oyerhauling the books
of the old board. They have found
what they consider sufficient proofs of
fraud to sustain an action for damages
against Jay Gould, the former President,
and have accordingly sued him in the
Court of Common Pleas, claiming dam
ages to the amount of $l0,000,000. The
afIidavits in the case are very lengthy,
and allege that Gould fraudulently Sc
cured the election OF directors in favor
Of his scheme, and then proceeded by
their collision and with their aid to
swindle the corporation out Of vast sums
of money. The compliments say they
can prove that he. has appropriated to
his own use the legitimate earnings of
the road and made them the means by
which to perpetuate his power.
