CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, January 29.-The splendid
residence at Springfield of r. L. Good
man, removed to this city, was destroyed
by FIRE last night. II caught from the
furnace, where the servant girl had just
made Ere to keep the water pipes from
freezing, the family being absent. The
house was built by Governor Watson in
1867, and has been the scene of many
great gatherings. 1t cost forty thousand
dollars, and the elegant furniture half as
much.
The remains Of Mrs. Horace White,
the wife Of the editor of the Tribune,
will reach New York Monday next, and
win be taken in charge by the friends Of
the family. The bereaved husband is in
New Orleans, in obedience to the orders
Of his physician.
In the trial Of Mrs. Boyce, for the
murder of young Johnson yesterday, the
medical men testified that the examina-
ton of the body convinced them that the
deceased had died from the effects OF ex-
IRENE violence, and not from conges-
ton, as the woman bad stated. Several
bruises were found on the body.
The meeting of the stockholders Of the
Great Western Telegraph Company yes
terday was occupied with discussions of
the financial affairs of the company,
which seem badly involved. Judgments
to the amount of $4,000 are now stand
ing against it, but it is thought the re-
organization will place it on a good
footing. A decision may be reached to-
day.
The exciting differences between the
police commissioners and Superintend-
ent Washburn reached such point that
the commissioners yesterday passed a
vote suspending Washburn from his po-
sition on account of disobedience of
order, and appointing 4. P. Ward, the
clerk of the board, superintendent pro
TEN. Washburn refuses to recognize the
authority of the board, and proposes to
go on without noticing the order. Wash
burn has already decided to rescind his
obnoxious order regarding the time that
policemen should be on duty. 1t is
serious question where the present dis
turbanee will end.

THE NEXT QUESTION.

The Credit Mobilier investigation has
proved to be brilliant and almost un-
expected success. The evidence which
was first taken in the dark as a light un-
der bushel has been made public, and
is known of all men. The general fact
is known, that about two dozen Con-
gressmen were indirectly if not directly
bribed by Cakes Ames to give votes that
would increase the value Of their stock,
and that subsequent TO casting such
votes they accepted the dividends that
shortly accrued from their work. The
shares we're nominally sold to them, but
in reality we're donated, and the mem
Der holding such shares was as much
a member Of the Credit Mobilier as the
original members, who happened not all
TO be Congressman. In their seats
they knowingly voted almost whatever
the Union and Pacific railroad asked,
and thereby made little fortunes for
themselves. Their moral and legal guilt
has long since ceased to be matter OF
any doubt; they stand selfconvicted,
aud all the whitewash in Washington
will not cover up their crimes. Now the
practical question that arises in every
mind is, what will be done with these
men; what will be their punishment
II they 20 scot free, then the exposure
had as well never been made, for villains
will feel that if they can only 60 to Con-
gress they will secure immunity and
protection FOR any moral obliquity they
can commit
