THE BOARD OF TRADE AND THE MUHN &
SCOTT CASE.

70 the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
SIR: Your commercial article in to-day's TRIE-
uNE asks. Will the Board Of Trade tako any &C.
ton in the alleged fraudulent warehousing
transactions of Mum l. Scott? It then pro-
cecds to say, il substance. that the Board will
consume two or three days in ndiHcuasing the con-
duct of member, the extent Of whose alleged
default is measured by few hundred dollars,
but that it does not follow that Munn j. Scott
will be locked after; that the big fish are not al
WAYS caught, but that the little are, etc.
Such language as this would not surprise ne
If uttered By few persons vino are restive rn-
der the wholesome restraints OF the rules of the
Board. OF bv less Intelligent and candid person
than your commercial editor; but au certainly
more than surprised that your journal should in
thi instance, become the medium OF de-
traction through which the Board Of TIado is
thus aspcrsed. Your commercial editor ought
to know that there ia no real foundation for lis
charge that the rules of the Board OF TRACE are
not impartia1lv and !earIassly enforced BY the
Directory whenever complaints OF theat sioiAi'oil
are dul7 made and proven. # you, as puonc
monitor and guardian Of the commercial hcnof
OF Chicago merchants, viii caG6e tor1aal com
rlaint to bo made to the Directors Of the Board
Of Trade that Munn g. Scott have been guilty OF
any businezs misconduct, derogatory to TIER
honor as business men and members OF the
Board, will assure your readers that tne charges
will le fairly and fully Investigated, ana; II
proven, punished. But, as the power vested ID
thc Board iu such cases ia limited to the 6ample
exposure and expulsion Of Offenders and

as Mum l. Scott, SO far as any business inter-
ests or intercourse are concerned, have virtually
Withdrawn themselves from the Board, the ques-
tion will ariBe What greater punishment can We
inlict. after an official investigation, than has
been inflicted by their public exposure, already
made? Would it add anything to the dignity Of
tha Board Of Trade to supplement the fall Of
Mum t. Scott By 8 formal expulsion There
are very few members who would care to person.
ally assume the position Of public prosecutor
under these circumstances. Tho Directors can
not act unless some one does assume this func-
tion. But, il you will furnish the complainants,
the investigation VII! be hao, ana Judgment WILL
be rendered without fear or favor.
Again. our State Legislature, by direct enact
ment, has sought to diVest the Board of Trade
of all supervision OF the warehouse business in
this city. It has created a Board Of Warehouse
Commissioners, and has armed them with au-
thority such as the Board Of Trade never
poasessed. even before it was divested Of what
little supervisory power it originally had under
it's charter. or BY voluntary assent OF the eleGa-
tor uroprietora liz it not, then, rather to the
Commissioners, the States Attorney and the
Grand jury that you should make your cen
serious appeal in behalf Of outraged justicse
In conclusion, l beg to ask. as q merchant, .
member of the Board Of Trade, and one OF its
officers, if the occasional ings at the honor and
integrity of the Board, kindred to THE OF which
I now complain. are the kind OF encouragement
and support that Chicago merchants have a right
the leading commercial body Of the Northwest I
Such spectacle Of disreBpect is Witnessed on
the part Of the prese in no other city in this
country, or in the world. Respectfully.

STATE STREET BRIDGE.

The True Reason Why the Structure is Not
Couplcted-TAe Iron Roof of the Water
Works Also Delayed.
Many persons have asked the question, "Why
is not the Stato street bridge dnishea?" and the
Council. believing the Board Of Public Works to
be responsible FOR the delay, passed g. resolu-
ton. at it's last meeting, calling upon the Board
to complete the structure Immediately. Tho
Mayor, yesterday, when asked about the bridge,
answered the interrogatory satisfactorily. He
said the iron for the superstzucture should
haEs been delivered long ago, under the
contract, but had not been, owing to the inabili-
ty Of the contractors IN Pittsburgh to furnish it.
There eeemB to have been an extraordinary de-
maud for iron all over the country the present
wear, and the various establishments which man
ufacture it have been unable to fulfil their con-
tracts within tho time specified in the agree
ments. The difficulty which interfered With the
retarded the work on tho roof Of the waite
Works. The last instalment Of iron for the lat
tor reached Chicago only few days since, when
it should have been here two or three months
ago. Very little more Of the Tou-work
for the bridge is required, and that
little ia expected to arrive in week or two.
When here. week at least will be required to
place it in position hence three weeks more
must elapse before the North Side will be
The Mayor thought the Council Was too hasty in
passing the resolution referred to, remarking
that the Board Of Public Works was doing every
thing possible in the way Of writing and tele-
graphing to the contractors to make haste to
complete the work, and that the adoption Of 500
resolutions day would not hurry forward the
work an hour.

CHICAGO GAS.

Everybody around the City Hall WAS talking
about gas yesterday. Many opinions were e1-
pressed the majority favorable to the new com
pany. Although nothing definite could be
learned. it was generally believed that, with
some amendments. the National Gas companJ's
ordinance would be passed by the Council
Mayor Medill said he was not opposed to addi-
tional gas companies :; on the contrary, he want
aon ed to ca,a see more IN II
He however, denounced :;black mailing"
companies, and did not propose that any sham
ordinance should so through his hands and be
approved. He had no objection to signing the
gas ordinance as originally presented by the
Cornm:ttee On Gas Lights, when it provided
safeguards and precluded the selling ont Of
steel. or the formation of combinations buthis
autograph would never be appended to any docu-
ment which would enable the men who engineer
ed it through the Council to e1tort money from
the old gas companies.

COLONEL ROBERT BRECKENRIDGE on THE
SITUATION He differed from General llou>'
ton, who had preceded him, in that he had
always been Democrat; had been Il rebel
Democrat, and tonight was II Greeley Dem
ocrat He had not changed, but Horace
Greeley bad become the representative OF
the only party which promised peace and
prosperity to the country, and the plat
form upon which he stood was 4 platform
OF Democratic principles. 1t RENTED the
question of tariff to the people, and where
else should it be RENTED 1t advo-
Gated amnesty and equal rights, aud if that
il not Democracy what is ii: Horace Gree
lev has been, it is true, one of our most bit
ter foes. He had more brains than all the
rest of his party put together, and we can
well afford TO swap him for Grant-yes, and
throw in Butler for good measure. [CheerS.
If the Radicals can stand Grant, an old Demo
crat, / can stand Horace Greeley, an old Re

can stand the devil. Laughter and APP

will not vote for Greeley; with few cXcep-
tions, | learn they are for Grant. II
is not so with It's over the river:
we do not need them we can carry the dis
trict without them, and we do not ask them
to vote for us and with lis. Some Of Them
came into my Office the other day and told
me they would vote for Horace Greeley, and
many Others Of them will do so. 1t would be
we'll if your colored men here would act on
the same principle; for although in the
great national election we do not need them,
yet you do need them to help you to elect
your sheriff. And there is no reason why
they should not vote with us. Is it be-
cause we did not fight for their liberties!
But those whom they follow were
not at the front with glns in their hands.
Those whom they follow were never
friends to them until the negro was needed
to give them place and power. There was
never a better time for them TO come over
and net with us than now, when they can
vote for man who was always their friend,
and who has done more for them than all the
ether Radicals put together. Whether they
do or do not, Horace Greeley will be our
next President. and there never will be an.
other election after the 4tl Of March. 1873,
