The Dam Broken Away and the Water
OF tho Desp1aincs Runring Into Chi-
cago River
Theirs was an important conference in the
oEco OF the Board Of Public Works yesterday
afternoon. In addition to the members of the
Board, there were present Mayor Madill, Corpo-
ration, Counsel Tuiey, and Commissioner Tai
colt. Of the Board OF Police. Tho subject under
consideration vas the Ogden ditch, which runs
from the Desp]aines River to the west fork OF
the South Branch. It will be remembered that
Mr. Ogden, Mr. Nickereon, and others, who own
property between the west fork Of the South
Branch and the Desplainea River, cut q ditch
through their land With s view Of en-
BANGING it's value by constructing docks
along the water 'front.' When the
fact come to the knowledge Of the city authori-
ties, they protested against it, and 4 dam WAS
built at the junction, between the ditch and the
Desplaines, and the how Of water stopped. The
water ran through the ditch Only short time,
but long enough to demonstrate TINT, If permit
ted to do SO continuously, the South Branch,
south Of the mouth OF the vest fork, and the

NEW JERSEY,
Address from the Liberal Republican
State Committee

Address from the Liberal Republican
State Committee.
TO the Liberal Republicans Of Neeo Jersey:
In the grand effort to redeem our country
nomination Ring, New Jersey should bear no
ble part. She has often proved her patriot ism
and va1or in defence Of the nation. Her fortunes
wore nobly cast with the patriots in the RevoIo-
tionary struggle. She grandly came to the
res an the late of ion Our
army, equipped with the destructive enginery Of
war, but by desperate band Of Office
holders, whose safety depends upon an extern
sion of power. Liberal Republicans OF New
jersey you, alone and unaided, cannot prevent
this; but you can do your part. Should the re-
suit of the late elections cause one desertion
from the Liberal ranks? Far from it. When
there is danger of defeat the true soldier is most
watchful and active. II We conscientionsly be-
lieye in the Justice Of our cause, reVerses should
which we contend less desirable than they were?
On the contrary, they are doubly precious, for
We have had fresh evidence Of the corruption
and power Of the Presidential patronage.
There is much in the October elections that is
encouraging to the Liberals. Every day new
facts prove the vil1ainous tricks and frauds by
which PenuBylv was carried. The result in
Ohio RhowB large Liberal gains, and is practical
y an Administration defeat. The contest in In
diana, despite the gigantic efforts OF the office
holders. is substantial victory for the Liberals.
How does our cause stand to-day? We do not
doubt OF victory upon q full and fair vote.
Arrayed against Us is all the powers that lavish
and unscrapulous use Of money, with official pa
tronage, aan WELD. For our part We have only an
earnest conviction that our cause is just. II
We win, it must be by undagging zeal and ener-
getic action. If the. Liberal Republicans and
Democrats do their whole duty, victory is Ger
tain. Liberal Republicans Of New Jersey. close
up your ranks: Unite earnestly with the Demo-
Gratis, and adopt all honorable means to bring
out our full vote On the day OF election. Let us
1Gorthly perform our duty at this critical period
OF our nations history. Then, whatever may be
the result, We will have the comforting assnr~
ance that We deserved SUCCESS.

Chairman Of the Liberal Republican State Com

- The Journal des Debats quotes letter dated
Nijni-Novogorod, the 10Th ult., in which an &C.
count is given OF daring robbery perpetra1ed
by thieves at that place. The correspondent
says: On the Sd Of September, at o'clock, the
great theatre, which contains !, 900 persons, was
1u!. The piece represented WAS H.
Vorlte one, entitled ss Crime and Its Punish
ment." Among those present we're the leading
military and civil officers, the head Of the po-
Ice: and q largo number Of police officers.
While the first act was being played, and the at
tention of the spectators was hxed on the stage,
report was suddenly heard, a slight smoke
filled the upper part Of tho theatre, aud cry OF
q fire was raised. Everybody rushed to the
doors, but only one vas open. Terror became
general when this was discovered. The crowd
was enormous, and persons were thrown down
and trempled upon. The thieves who had COM
bined to cause this alarm took the opportunity
Of seizing whatever they could lay their hands
upon. They tore earrings from the women, aud
stole watches and studs from the men. This.
scene lasted for about ten minutes, until the
people employed in the theatre and the police
made it known that there was no truce Of fire.
When tranquility had been restored, inquiry
was made respecting the articles stolen, and it
WIS found that the value exceeded 100000
roubles. Several persons we're killed; three
men and q woman were taken to tho hospital
wounded, and an actress received
a very serious wound. The thieves contriyed to
escape.

the canal is just sufficient to carry OF
the water from the sontb4 Branch, and
by increasing the water. flow, as this
ditch did, every additional gallon dimin-
ighed the power of the canal to draw water
from the lake. The protest Of the authorities
having been needed, no further attention was
paid to the subject The dam, h oweyer, has re-
Gently been cut or washed away ,t.nd there isnow
flowing through the ditch into the South Branch,
by way Of the west fork, 3 column Of water
twenty-five feet vide by eighteen inches deep.
Sand and mud, as before, are carried along, and
deposited in tie river and canal. None Of the
property owners interested,in the land adjacent
to the ditch are at present In the city and hence
no explanation as to the reopening Of the ditch
can be had. The people living along
the Desplaines River, south OF its junction
with the ditch, are without water, the cut com
pletely shutting them of, and they are COM
planning bitterly. They have legal remedy,
and viii undoubtedly bring suit against tie
ditchers, unless the ditch is closed up. The city
authorities can do nothing, the junction being
outside Of their jurisdiction. II another dam
is not constructed, incalcuiable injury will be
done to the dock property fronting the South
Branch, and the canal in q very short time be
unnavigable, and useless as {. purifier OF the
Chicago River.
The conference yesterday was informal, and
no action was taken.

generation Of France; and tho last Of which

in Parisian women's memories for yet some
weeks to come. But it may be doubted whether
anything that NJ. Dumas writes in his present
frame by mind can evoke results deeper than
success de curiosite, or will survive him and this
for the reason that, falling into an error very
common with professional censors, he has got
to paint his countrymen much blacker than they
really are. II. Dumas fancies himself still un-

There are really few countries where honesty is

than in France. To ignore this, argues either a

County, North Carolina, under martial Law. Il
failed but the game is interesting. :,
CURED at Greenyille, between young man named

OF his official duties in any manner. The tWc

Roach bad names. Roach drew his pistol and
commenced shooting. He shot four times, and
the frs time he hit and killed one OF his Owl
friends. The second shot went through some.
body's pantaloons, and the third struck Smith in
the arm. The fourth took effect in Roach's own
hand, and then he stopped shooting. He seoms
to have been great1y annoyed and panied at hie
want Of skill as marksman, and determined to
get some satisfaction in another way,
NOV; NOV the f affair was just as related. Roach'e
TREND was killed BY, Roach's hand, but Calvin
Cox, q leading Radical in tho county, seized
upon this accident to- create an impression that
the man was murdered BY mob. he accord-
lngly wrote sensational latter to Hon. g. 7.
Carrow, United States Marshal, aud, in view OF
the facts of tile case the following extracts from
the letter are curious:
ave are in 8 very helpless condition here.
The mob is victorious. Edmund Wilson is dead.
He died from the effects Of wound received in
the mob. We wish for the law to be executed
here. We doubt whether it can be done without
some aid from the Government. II you do not
send US the marshal and Commissioner as re-
quested, you must send us 100 men to enable Us
to do it ourselves "
The letter then gives the names Of sixteen
rioters, and states that these we're all that could
be then obtained, but asks blanks sent for those
and fifty others.
The letter concludes as follows:
1.-THE civil authority hero is impudent (impo~
tent? y except Conservatives in their own inter-
ests.. Our rights can only be protected by some
power outside Of the county. From what we
have already seen, We believe the United States
authorities will continue to bo resisted
Several arrests we're made. and an investiga-
ton was had The. afidavits Of Cox aud othcr
Radicals were taken before United States Com
missioner Robinson, ut Go1dboro', on charges OF
" conspiracy and impeding the Deputy United
States Marshal in the discharge OF: his duty..'
Upon hearing, the Commission dismissed all
the warrants and discharged all the prisoners,
pronouncing the conduct of Cox and his asso-
ciates as infamously disgraceful. Such arc tho
facts, and such was the little game Of "con-
spiracy'' in Pitt County, North Carolina. Dur
ing its progress it created much indignation
against Cox and his political tools.

RAILROAD FREtGHTS.

The Tariffs and Business Of the Year.
The Recent Advance In Freight
Rates.
The railroad companies, on lines between Chi
cago and the sea-board, have recently advanced
their freight-charges. 4 reference to the bus
iness OF the year will be Of interest. The fall OF
1871 found these lines engaged in competition
all felt to be destructive to prohts, but carried
on for purpose Of the special kind that Is no
novelty in railroad annals. ALI classes Of freight
westward were taken at 8 uniform rate Of 30
cents per hundred This could not last, but
while it lasted shippers reaped a harvest. Said
leading merchant of Chicago, "The low
freights had placed in Chicago, in time for the
fire, millions of dollars worth of merchandise.
more than would have been brought hore at the
rate usual at the 6eason," On Thursday, Oct
ment to call Of the fight, and tariff at 51.25 fo
frst~clasa to Chicago, and other points in pr J.
tion was fixed to go into operation on Monda v,

cy by an extension Of the cheap tariff to No,

This tonches the whole range Of shipnsents Of
gram and provisions, and is one Of the present
added burdens OF the market. The 1ate, We
believe, is conceded to be cents higher lian the
corresponding rates last season. The "a ilroads
find their reason for this advance in the i'm mense
pressure upon their facilities at this 8 eaaon.
At least one Of the three great lines is refusing
to forward from Chicago grain from roads from
tho West, and cannot resume until q 1t.t-up
comes to their rolling stock detained for local
business at this season at. AL parts Of their road
The State laws, as theytahould do, give these
local points stringent remedy in case their
quota Of rolling stock ia denied them, and ct
present the only through cars to Chicago from
Eastern roads are those loaded for Chicago
This pressure will be of, in short time, and to
the relief OF Chicago shippers.
