Horrible MutiIation.

In the Chicago Inter Ocean of Monday
the 10th, there appears what purports to
be the notes of opinion of Judge George
W. Peasants, of this circuit, in granting
the injunction in the case of Dimock,
Gould q Co., and the fifteen other corpor-
alton cases in this county resistingj the tax
assessed by the State Board of Equaliza-
ton. Either the copy furnished was hor-
in transcribing, or the'printers
committed rape upon it, for it is almost
anything but the notes of opinion as writ
ten out by the Judge. The errors in it
are positively shocking to the nerves of an
ordinarily sensitive being-in some cases
whole lines omitted, in others words used
that have no more resemblance to the
words used by the Judge than a striped
ribbon has TO rainbow.
Judge Pleasants's notes of opinion, as
written by himself, are correctly printed in
the brief of G, NJ. Osborn Esq.,, (printed
at The ARGUS offce) to be filed before the
Supreme Court, in the cases named, and.
in justice to the Judge, the Inter Ocean
ought to republish them correctly, from the
copy as printed for Mr.. Osborn.

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.
Mr.. Durham Makes an Effort for
Equality Of Representation.
His First Proposition Rejected.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-The House
spent several hours discussing township
organization as set forth in the revised bill.
Sections were passed quickly by, until
Armstrong moved to amend so that no
town officer should hold more than one Of
fee, but, as majority of the members are
Supervisors. Justices of the Peace, or
Road Masters, of course the amendment
was not adopted.
ADDITIONAL TOWN SUPERVISORS.
Westfall desired to amend so that towns
having over $500 inhabitants be allowed
an additional Supervisor, and one for each
additional 1000 inhabitants.
Durham offered substitute making the
numbers 1900 and 1900. Bloomington,
Quincy and Peoria, and other cities spoke
for the amendment. A motion to table
was lost, and then Durham made a strong
argument in favor of giving cities repre-
sentation in proportion to their population
Moore, of Adams was on the same side
Savage and Cassidy, in the interest OF
the agricultural element and against coun-
ty-seat rings, spoke at some length. Her
rington held forth on the same side
Quinn spoke for his Peoria, and Dolan
and Mofitt insinuated that the cities ought
to be thankful to the county for furnishing
them honest county rulers.
HOURS WERE CONSUMED IN TALK.
Finally, the Durham proposition was
voted down. and the Westfall amendment
adopted. Innumerable minor amendments
were offered and rejected; then the House
undid all it had done by reconsidering the
vote by which Westfall's amendment was
adopted, and after much wrangling another
amendment was adopted by which each
town is entitled to supervisor, and an as.
sistant for the first 1000, and for every
$500 thereafter an additional assistant su-
pervisor. These supervisors are to re-
ceiVe $3.50 per day and mileage. A pro-
viso was adopted that nothing in the sec.
ton should reduce the present representa-
ton. The bill was ordered to be engrossed
Every man in the House offered loca
amendments which were laughed at,adopt
ed. or rejected in such hurry that no one
knew what they meant, and the bill was
ordered to third reading, when it will e
to the Senate, with the earnest prayers O
its friends that there it will receive more
deliberate consideration. The general fea
lures of the bill are regarded as suitable Il
the whole State, but details that suit one
locality are inapplicable to another, hence
wide diversity of opinion.

MORE JUST REPRESENTATION.

During last winters session of our legis-
lature THE ARGUS agitated the subject of
more equal representation in Boards of
Supervisors, and as far as the House is
concerned, some progress has been made
in that direction, for which our people are
wholly indebted to the untiring efforts OF
MIR. Durham.
