and presented an amendment to substitute

colleague spoke strongly against the amond-
ment, tile former giving rlodgo that Ponnsyl-

mirat1on for tho sincerity Of tho efforts to savo

DO criticised gently, and to DO forgotten In
tho SUCCESSES that wero gained. The same
subject camo before tho weekly meeting Of
tho Methodist ministers Of this city yesterday,
and WIS treatod with equal consideration. a
resolution WAS passed declaring that the move
mont vas ~ a ProYidontial iustrumentality," and
tbat women we're it's proper leaders. The only
dissent was that Of German Clergyman, who
did, not think the Germans could be
influenced by praying and singing. Tho
Chicago Presbytery decided yesterday that
on Wednesday Of next week special prayer
meetings for the cause Of temperance should
bo held in each Of tho Presbyterian churches Of
the city, ut which temperance sermons should be
delivered by tho ministers.

Tho Springfield papora do not take kindly to
the proposition Of repeating all the taxos on
land md town lots and livestock in this stnto !;
they arc shocked at the idea OF raising revonue
without tnxing land, and without paying 20 per
cent for the cost OF collecting it. They havo al-
80 discovered that to repeal that tax would let Tie
bottom out OF the railroad-grab law. While We
had not mentioned this in the argument, we urge
1t now as all additonalreason why the tax on land
and livestock should be repealed. As I'll argu-
mont in favor Of the policy Ut raising oil tho
revenue possible from tax On business, which
is the nearest approach to Tux on incomes,
tho suggestion that the Railroad Bond
net Of 1869 would become null
lity, ia nlmoat irresistible. We thank
the Springfield papers for the suggestion, aud
will honcetorth try to keep 1t before tho public.
In timo wo have no doubt it will hayo It's full
weight upon the public mind. In tho meantime
it is woll for the pooplo to understand that the
Springfield organs Of the holders Of these bonds
unite in declaring TINT the Republican party aud
the Democratic party OF Illinois will never con-
sent to the ropoal OF tho tax on land, town lots,
and livestock and household furniture whom
that tax is no longer needed. Tho State Is out
Of debt, but these chaps about the State Capitol
insist that the taxes shall continue just tho
same. It ia necessary, perhaps, to lave large
surplus on hand at Springfield to loan to the
baulss. Repeal a taxi Never, while we havc tho
spirit Of man.

a now phaHo Is announced OF the astonishing
trial OF Mrs. Waite, at Portland, Me-, On tho
charge Of bIeamy. Tho charge was preferred, 1t
will bo remembered, by John Waller, who
claimed that tho defendant was his wife, aud
that sho Ind deserted him anl Ills two ohildron.
Ho named marks upon her body by which aho
could DO identified. Hrs Waito boro these marks
upon ler porson, and tho children Of Mr.
Waller aworo to her identity. In spite Of this
evidence, A1rB. Waite maintained tho most re-
markable composure, and convinced tho many
spectators present at tho trial that Rhe was oith-
or most wonderful actress or tho victim Of
not less wonderful combination Of circumBtan-
ccs. Tho last move is the publication Of o
letter from tho true Mrs. Waller, who Ia known
by the aliases Of Hate Wallor and Catherine Nc
Konze. This porson claimB TINT sho was n,ar-,
ried to John Waller, May %, 1869, and that her
children wore born Feb. 24, 1868, mud Sept 2,
1864; that sho left him four years ago, because
he abused her; that she has a scar on lor arm
wAero he cut hor with an ax, and smother in her
temple whore lie struck her with q block Of
wood. She adds that she will hayo her children
before long, II Bho has to steal them. II tho
1ot!er ia genuiuo and the true wife OF John
Waller produced and placed on tho witncss
staud, tho reality will surpass in interest many
Of the creations OF fiction.

4 BAD CASE OF BAGGAGE SMASHING.

Tho Council Chamber was Inst night tho sceno
Of disgracoful squabblo, for which Mayor Col
vie seems to have been mainly responsible. Nfr.
Colvin, as VIC have said before, IL a baggage
emaahor. Ono might as woll expect to send
now Saratoga trunk from Chicago to Now York
without scratch as to run the City Govern
ment under tho management Of Mr. Colvin With
out staving in somo Of it's parts. Mr. Colvln has
STAYED In good many Of these parts already,
and continues to wroBtle with tho remnants with
rooklossnoas characteristic Of his calling. Wo
forosaw this when ho was elected but, as we
were riding on tho same train, we endoayored
to savo AZ much Of the baggage as we could, and
to this ond gavo Mr. Colvu q holping hand. Ho
prefers, however, to go IN smashing baggage In
tho good old way, and wo suppose there Is noth-
ing to do but to bear it with the best grace pos
aible. We have mover yet heard Of q remody for
baggage-smashing.
Last night'a trouble waa simply this AIr. Col
vim, while acting as President Of tho Council,
made vorbal announcement that be appointed
DR.. paoli, who hal previously boon rejoctod, City
Physician. The Council wanted tho appoint-
mont made in writing. This Mr. Colvin refused
to do. Mlr. Colvin also refused to entertain
motion to this effect. He further refused to
ontertain motion to postpone notion Tor two
weeks. Ho ordered members Of The Council to
take thoir seats, and made special onslaught
on AID. Campbell. Alr. Campbell refused
to be put down, and Mr. Colvin
theroupon ordered his immediate arrest. Mr.
Campbell proposed to shoot the first policeman
who should lay haudH on him,--a proposition in
which the other Aldermen seemed to sus-
tain him,-and tho officers refrainod. Then
general melee onsuod, which was finally con-
trollol by q premature adjournment, secured
mainly by turning off the gus. The Bcone WAS
certainly mortlfying from every point OF view.
The Mayors bill, ao-alled, expires no1t Mon
day by limitation. Perhaps this is tho reason
why III. Colvin determined to avail himself Of
his last opportunity for conspicuous and ag-
greasiyo baggage-smashiug. We have always
had strong faith in the principles Of the
Mayors bill but much depends, after all, upon
tho " application on It," We cannot, therefore,
regret very seriously at this timo that the effort
to ronow 1t haB met With no success
whatever. After this week, Nlr. Colyin will
relapse into IN obscurity Which, though the
Mayor Of Chicago ought not to suffer 1t, Mr.
Colyn individually doaoryeu. He will honcc-
forth be moro hguro-hond. We only hopo
that the representatives Of tho Peoples Party
will 50 control tho various Boards and De-
partments aa to justify their opposition to the
Mayors bill, and that Mr.. Colyin will bo moro
successful Oh Agure-hend than he has been as
Mayor. At all events. his baggago.amaahing
proclivlties will bo considerably roprcased.
