A STATEMENT.

10 the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
SrR: In to-days's issue OF your paper, OBJ
serve an article headed, " Compelled to Dis
oorre.n where my name iB conspicuously men-
Toned a. the " Harrison Street Lawyer" and as
nv being the means OF encouraging swindle
upon an emigrant.
As wish this to be contradcted, and not have
my name brought before the public in such way,
and in the light of q swndler, will give you the
details Of the transaction:
On Wednesday last, about noon, Mr. Lansing,-
who, by the way, is, and has been, q customer OF
mine for gome time,--ca to me and requested
me to do . favor for him. He vas accompanied
by two men, one OF whom WAS Mr. Volmuth, the
complainant and the other bis friend. did
not stop to inquire the nature OF the request,
but told him I would do what could for him,
taking into consideration that he was GUS
toner Of mine, and entitled to such at my
hands. He then explained to me- that he wished
to borrow s400 OF Mr. Volmuth, one OF the men,
and requested me to make out q note for such.
I did as directed not thinking of the proper
form Of making out such. They were both sat
thought. not knowing at the time that WAS to
be the victim and theme for scandal. Mr.
Lansing then bought box OF cigars, and Mr.
Volnuth bought another, through the solicita-
tions Of his friend, and 80 the matter was set
tied.
Either the reporters or Mr- Volmuth's state-
ment is incorrect, for I YVES not introduced as q
lawyer, as the article goes to show. an inno-
cent Of any completely in the affair; and, as
do not wish my friends or the public to miacon-
strue my true character as an honest and law
abiding citizen into that Of an unscrupulous
swindler, Us you make me out to be, ask you
to give this vindication space in your coulumns,
in order to exonerate me from any completely in
the case, as far as swindle ia concerned By 80
doing, you will much oblige, yours truly,
WILLIAM GooDK1Np.

SMOKING IN THE STREET-CARs.

To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
SR: fully indorse the denunciation, in re-
cent number OF your paper, against that intol-
erable nuisance, smoking in our street-cars, apd
Icannot see why the practice is allowed. The
owners OF the cars evidently deem it nuisance,
as they have made an attempt, by means Of no.
tees posted up, to confue the smokers to "the
three rear seats" But Why, I ask, permit an Of
fensive practice on any part Of the cars
Others besides smokers are often obliged to get
on the rear seats, and among them, frequently,
ladies have to sit, when the other seats happen
to be filled; and yet your smoker, perfectly in
different to their presence, puffs away self.conn-
placently, sending small cloud occasionally in
their faces. But more; the limited prohibition
day, with their cigars and pipes, on any Of the
seats. Was forced, q short time ago, to leave a
one-horse car on State street, to avoid inhaling
the s1noka and odor OF an inferior cigar which
fellow was putting BY my side
I once saw lady On one OF "the three rear
seats between two smokers. Well, she grim
ned and bore the insult for some time, but at
length made her escape by betaking herself to
come vacant. L will not attempt to, describe
what manner ct men your car-smokers are, but
one thing is certain: they are not gentlemen,
for the distinguishing mark Of gentleman is
Difference to others, and OF this your car-smoker
who ride on the cars should suffer annoyance by
the few:who smoke is simply an outrage, and l,
for one, hereby enter my protest against it. I
have heard ladies declare that they had aban-
doned the cars in consequence OF the indulgence
allowed to smokers.
It is only few minutes that men remain in
the cars, and they surely would not suffer by
keeping their pipes and cigars out Of their
mouths for that short time. The car-companies
should ut once: adopt strict rule prohibiting
the practice and feel persuaded they would
be the gamers in the receipt Of nickels, and,
moreover, receive the thanks OF the public.

10 u Editor ef TIE Chicago 15i6t1ne:
S1R: Herewith give you statement Of the
financial condition OF our county and city, With
the assessment rolls for 1871 and 1879:
Valuation Of property assessed in 1871 169 90
Levy for County, Territory, School, and
railroad taxes, per cent. 1a3, ,39738
Amount collected on s1u6. 6l,42l45
The above shows delinquency which has
been occasioned BY the taxing Of lands granted
to railroads, and also Of our National Banks, Of
which taxes our laws would not warrant collec-
ton, and the same we're, therefore, abated.
The total valuation Of city property proper
for TT I'M a,nonntino T. az 6a5 70
Amount collected on same. s2,3ol9a
which also leaves delinquency, most Of which,
however, is available, and can be collected.
Our county valuation, as per assessment roll
for 1872,-which is not as yet quite complete
will amount to S11, 100000 or 1000, 900, and
our city will amount to over 97,000,000.
Our County, School, and Interest on Railroad
Bond tax (Which levy has not as yet been made1
will not amount to more than Is OF 20 mills, and
our city 8 mills; which, altogether, putting it
high, will not be more than $40 per cent. We
have no Territorial tax this year, as We haYe
now money enough in the Treasury to pay our
debts for the next year.. .
Our county owes about 3490,00o railroad

afford reasonable promise Of its accomplish
ment in this generation. It is easy enough to
show up the scheme OF college On paper, but
establishing colleges is another matter. We
should be heartily glad to see such college in
Massachusetts, but to represent or imply that
it can be done with $3.50, ,6oo, even il buildings

One Hundred aud Fifty Ladies' Search.
ed for SmuGgled Goods.

ed for Struggled Goods.
From. the Detroit Fr<e Press, Oct. ~.
It is fact probably better known to the Gus
tom House officials than. to outsiders THAT al
least every tenth woman who crosses the Detroit
River carries snuggled goods. The goods may
be tea, coffee, socks, thread, ribbons, or some
thing else Of greatva1ue, but the intent to smu.
gle is there, and the success in bringing over
small lot is nearly always N inducement TO,
the snuggler to try the game on q larger scale
Men may and do smugg1e clothing now and then
but it is the female sex which carries the burden
Of guilt The Custom House officials at the fer.
y dock in this city are as vigilaut as officers can
be, but what chances have they against monster
hoop-skirts and gigantic bustles. They cannot
stop to peep under shaw1s, examine pockets,
look into baby carts and hold q crowd on the
boat, and 80 they must continue their work with
the knowledge that goods are being smuggled,
nets can trap the guilty and frighten the inuo-
cent so that they shall never dare to pursue tie
business
The net was drawn yesterday: The officers
commenced about O'clock, walking fifteen or
twenty women up stairs into the custom rooms,
and handing them over to woman to be
searched. Every boat load which landed, for
about three hours, Was treated in the same man
ner-that is, all the female portion. Some were
indignant, and appealed to their husbands, who
vainly appealed to the customs officers. Others
wanted to faint away, but, after looking at the
planks and the dust, concluded not to. Others
wept, laughed, or turned pale, but none Of them
we're permitted to escape. During the afternoon
about one hundred and fifty women we're con-
fronted by Uncle Sam, aud the old man had q
good deal Of fun and made some wonderful dis
coveries.
For instance, modest little woman, who Was
in q great hurry to so home to her sick child,
pulled out q few pins, and ten yards OF English
flannel fell to the floor. A tall woman, with
tears in her eyes, who asserted that ahe would
sooner chop her head or than to think OF snug
Cling, unfastened pound Of tea from her ske1-
eton, and asserted that it must have been placed
there by some designing person. Another one
Indignantly denied q the right OF search," but,
after remaining prisoner for an hour or two,
told the searcher to take it and 60 to grass
throwing package Of ribbons and laces on the
floor. 4 lot Of calico WAS found on another,
some velvet on another, and at least 10 per cent
OF the whole number we're found to be engaged
in smuggling. The officials we're satisfied With
confacating the goods, and it is said that wonien
who land from Canada during the day to-day will
be marched up stairs and turned over to the care
Of the grim female, who heeds no threats and
melts at no Highs.

to get on the floor, pushed up through the sliP
