I
up to rebel against the authority OF Captain
French, md take aides with the revolutionary
appointeo. They will find themselves greatly
mistaken.
| YOUNG HEsNa.
The number Of hangera-on at the Board room
yesterday was very small, and was composed
mainly OF Aldermen and other small politicians
who represent the whiskey interest. The Ger
seen, but Mr.. Washington Hesing fanked by
obsequious reporters Of his papas paper, was
kers created decided sensation, If nothing else
about him did. Washington whispered with
Mark, and they smiled and shook hands very
cordially. It WAS touching scene when the
Commissioner threw his arm around the bog
neck at parting, and reminded him, in acconte
Of the gravest possible character, that civil
liberty was in danger OF being hurled from its
throne at any moment. Little Hesng nodded
his head, and pompous1y strobe away, followed
BY the obsequlous reporters. 1t is rumored
that the German Sage has grown tired OF visit
ing the Commissioners, because the reporters
| turn his most solemn utteranceB into ridicule,
and that young Hesing WAS sent around to take
his place, and help fire the revolutionary heart
It is we'll known that Washington doesn't like
the Mayor OF tho Chief Of Police, aud would
like to see both Of them hunbled before tho
people, But, then, Washington ia very young
yot, and has plenty Of time before him in which
| to acquire some sense.
| MARK DISAPPOINTED.
At q late hour yesterday afternoon Commits
| sioner Sheridan expressed aatonishment because
the members OF the Cook County Legislative
delegation at present in the city had not called
! upon the Board during the day as well as
| upon the Mayor. The Board clique arc begin
! ming to suspect that those Senators and Repre-
| sentatives upon whose support they had conf
IDENTIFY counted are not what they call "sound"
on the question, and the failure Of some OF
them to visit the Commissioners yesterday tends
to confirm the painful suspicion. McGrath and
Cullerton are now set down as doubtful both in
the Legislature and in tho Council.
ANXIOUS 70 COMPROMISE.
The e1-Board have been exceedingly anxious
to compromise. h1r. Goudy is not too hopeful,
it is understood, and would willingly allow the
matter to be sent to the Supreme Court on an
agreed case. a proposition WAS urged upon the
Mayor, two or Three days ago, as suggested by
Mr.. Reno the other day. The city's legal ad-
wiser shook his head, for the Mayor had too
strong case to let the Board slip through his
fingers by any such tactics, This refusal The ex
Board Immediately seized upon, as drowning
men are popularly supposed to grasp at floating
atraws. They intimated that they had made =
fair proposition, and II had been refused Now
let the Consequences rest upon the Mayor. They
had done their duty he had refused to do hie.
reporter having heard this taunt, presented
himself to Wr. Tnley, and the dialogue that en-
sued appears to take the roof off this boast Of
the ex-Board. It was as follows: ..,
Keporter-Mr. Tuley, do you still persist In decltn
ing to take agreed to the Supreme Court for
decision, whereby this hard knot may bc unrnveed III
Tuley-No, atr. We are ready to go to the Supreme
s It. but se
light TO lake the inattve The WY for he decapi-
men tho Mayor will appoint and then apply for writ
Of quo carranto to compel him to show By what right
ing to aecede, bit to 70 other. -.

The Cook County delegation. after discussing
the situation at Springfield, determined to visit
tatiye Wicker, who presided at the meeting, Was
captured by reporter of tho Euening Post yes
terday, and interviewed IS follows:

" WI understand such bill is In preparation, and
qill probably be introduced on Monday. I have no
self drawn resolution expressing the sense Of the
delegation at the meeting last night but owing TO tho
Eant Of nnantnity growing out Of wsnt q nfora-
t. Tho resolution WIS as follows:

a "p1AN,"
A prominent and intelligent citizen, who is
ut Of the papers and out Of the mouths Of the
eoplo, suggests the following plan for adop-
on By the Legislature: Abolish the Board Of
olice without delay, and place the Police Dc
unicipal government under the control Of the
ayor, and Cabinet composed Of. the Chief of
oiic, Fire Marshal, Comptroller, City Treasurer, !
I'd Secretaries Of existing Boards, who shall r
