tho part Of New York to sccure q repeal of

cities ports of entry, Al error was made in
stating that thero arc Scarcely any free goods
imported at thoport of Clicago. Tho statement
did not affect tho gonord tenor of tho article,
but its correction III ono or two important par
iculars is duo to tho real magnitude Of the
commerce Of Chicago. We refer moro par-
tcularly to coifecs aud tens, the receipts Of
which at the port Of Chicago win surprise the
general reader. Tho receipts of Rio coffee pia
Boston for tho year were about e, 900 bags;
of Ceylon and JAVA, 5000 amounting in all
to three aud n half millions Of pounds. Ono
Of tho most prominent ten houses OF this city
has just issued circular which contains
some very valuable information regarding tho
direct importation Of toas to Chicago and
their distribution. The imports Of blacks,
green's and Japnus to Chicago for the cleyon
months ending Dec. l, 1874, amounted to
50,83+ half chests, or about I, ,270, s50pounds;
Of Japans alone, 3s,yo1 half chests. As conn.,
pared with Chicago during tho sanlo time iu

chests; Detroit, sG7; Milwaukee, 3,c53

It will require about $4,000 to cover
outstanding orders, and this will leavo
only cbout $2t, 900 to meet tho running ox-
penses Of tho ycar 1876, which amount to
100000. Thus, without adding ono book,
actual bankruptcy md starvation stares this
t1ourishing institution in the facs within less
than year; and, il nothing more is done
for it, it will bo obliged to close it's doors.
Such a result as this would bo an overlast-
ing disgrace to tho City Of Chicago md dis
aster to tho people. We might just as freely
contemplate tho closing of q number of our
public schools. Tho result in tho ono case
would 10 as damaging to public welfare as
that which would follow in tho other. When

CHICAGO, Dec. II.
There arc several errors 1t, tho above communt-
CATION which require correction:
l. No ono over proposed TINT the INDIGNANT
should draw intorest ut 10 por cont. Tho propo-
Hition was. TINT in addition to tho per cont In
tcrost which tho judgment bore tho Court
should hsyo the power to nfix az q penalty 10
per cont upon the amount OF tho Judgment
whcro the appeal waa vcxatious or taken for de-
lay. "Lawyes" says ho "conprehenls" The 10
per cont interoat suggestion ns valuable. No
such suggestion ever having bcon nude, what
becomes Of hia comprehension?
2. No ono evor proposed that tho Court Should
deliver any opinions orally; but simply whore
tho case did not warrant 1t, no opinion whatever
should be delivered. That tho Judgment should
10 simply revorsed or affirmed. This euggeB-
ton, ho says, ho "comprehonds" as vatnab'n.
It never having been ulade. tho comprehension
sooms to bo 1ittlo shaky.
8. What bo means by saying eH roason
for retaining tho present clumsy bill OF OK
coptiopa, tint "casoB aro as 1requert-
]y reversed on the evidence falling to
sustain tho instructions az Oh tho law of tic
case," ia !" ono Of thoao things no felah oyor
can find out" II thore ia no evidence in tho
case on which to base tho instruction complained
of, il would bo erToneoua a8 mattar Of Inv, nnd q
very short bill of exceptions would DO Bu1icicnt
to presons tho fact that thoro was no ovidel4co
on tho point covered by the instruction.
4. Ho says, "Whoro error IL 40 liable to
porvado tho fchoe record, 1t ought to bo loft
to the Judgment Of tho attorney, az noe.
how much Of thnt record 1t Ia important Tor the
higher Court to review" It is certainly cursoua
TINT errors aro no liablo to pervado tho scoo req
ord. II the Court porsistent!y orrs, or it ia
claimed that 1t po1aisteutiy errs. In Its rulings
upon tho admission or exclusion Of evidence, n
proper bill Of exceptions would present t!tem
for 1oview, and that too, without taking ul' al
tho evidence II Tho Judgment is against oyi-
douce, that could bo ahown without taking u2all
the evidence. Moreover, III legal theory, What
the bill Of exceptions shall contain does
not roat in tho Judgment Of the attorney
preparing it, but III the judgment Of The Courtdy
.c|.om il is settled. What VIC ask is, TINT the
Judgment Of tho Court BAall be exercised In tho
1nannor We hnve pointed out.
6. "Lawyor" says, in speaking Of. the lustruer
tions, "His Instructions arc given Ia writing,
and must DO sound il Tie Judge doe:
his duly" Arc erroneous instructions
breaches OF judical duty? The Judge
guilty Of breach Of duty ought to bs
impoached. we meoLly suggest that such pun
ishment would be too seyero, and would be dis.
posed to treat tho giving OF an erroneous in-
struction as mistake rs TO the iaw rather than
broach Of duty.
