Wee President Wilson gives some wise
aud timely counsel, in his letter. Though ad-
dressed to an independent journal, 1t is
really written to the Republicans of the
country. and they will do well to heed lis
warnings and ponder itsadyice. We do not
believe that the Republicans Of the North
desire to Cypress the Democrats OF tie
South All that they ask is that there shall
be at the South such fair liberty and expires
sion of opinion. such fair and full freedom
OF the ballot, and such orderly acquieseen6e
in the results of honest elections as We have
at the North. They wish to see the "blotting
out of divisions on the line of color, which
divisions are kept alive by White Leagues
and white mens parties at the South, and
that is all. of course all honest men desire
to see corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS politicians
rebuked, and personal ambitions subordinat-
ed to the public good. Mr.. Wilson's coun-
sci, if trite, is good on these points. That
with reference to the Liberal Republicans,
is equally So Most of them belong with Us.
They are Republicans in principle, and are
not conscious that they abandoned any prin-
cipe in their support of Mr.. Greeley. They
must be satisfied by this time, also, thatall the
Democracy wanted of them was their votes
The name Of Senator Fenton, the leader Of
the New York Liberals, was not even men
toned in the Democratic caucus which nom
mated Mr.. Herman. Mr.. Sherman, the most
competent man on the Democratic side OF
the New York assembly for the speakership,
was compelled 70 yield to Tammany Demo-
crat because he was a Liberal. In Missouri,
Carl Schurz, has been set aside for an I'M
known Democrat. Such occurrences. show
Just how much recognition the Liberals can
expect from the Democrats. On the other
hand. in this State, where the party could
best spare the Liberals, 50 far as numerical
strength is concerned, the Republicans have
as rule extended hearty welcome back,
to the Greeley Republicans. They mingled
in our conventions last summer, and had
their fair share Of nominations, and ii has
been made plain to them that the Republi-
cans of Vermont consider them of their fold.
and have no desire to remember past diyis-
ions This example can well be followed
elsewhere

Professional billiards in Chicago is quleaoout,

Ohio, are still in the city, remaining from tbs
tournament. The former Fill soon aaeu1na =

Amateur billiards received huge Impetus
from the tournament and tho rooms ara all
pretty well patronized Just now. The City
Clerks register asserts that there weSe up to

At least that number paid city licanse. Asaum-
iug that this aumheE ia uue-haH Of tue whole
number Of tables in the ci.y-nnd that brings tie
estimate certainly low enough-it may be noted
that Chicago pla7s now lnst about one third mora
billiards than before the fire. This is due N
part to tho better facilities for the game, and n
part to the greatly reduced prices SET BY ROOM
keepers upon the use OF their tables. It NAV 10
noted a|ao that those rooms which hare tue low
est prices have the moss custom aud pay the
best profits An example ia certain room
where the price is Is cents per game Or 80 cents
per hour. Such prices we're undraamt-of before
ls7t. and 1t is fair to suppose that the lowering
In price has produced tic increase 10 playing
and in profits.

yesterday morning at O'Clock. after engaging
in m attempt to blow = safe. The credit OF the
arrest belongs to Officer Reid, OF the Sixth Pre-
cinct Nfadison street) Station. and to him only.
It was daylight yesterday morning when Dauiel
0Leary. laborer living in rear Of Johu R.
Case's real estate Office, No. ~ South Green
street. between Madison and Washington, got
heard a noise in the ittle frame build
ing in front OF his. His daughter
a young girl peeped out, and aaw the door Of
4t once for policeman, while he cautiously ex-
amined the premises Of Mr.. Case. The girl re-
turned with Officer Reid. one Of the most ylgi-
liant aud cool men On the forco. She found him
as the coraor of Madison and Halsted streets, =
block aud half from the scene of the sttempt-
ad burglary. As he came into Green street, Reid
saw two men walking rapidly n0rthWard, sud they
Eero then at Washington street, He took
in the situation In a moment and ran rapidly
toward his game. They saw him when he bad
COMO = short distance, and started on run.
One Of tho fellows, separated from bis COM
pauion as they neared Carroll avenue, but Reid
is good runner and caught up with tbs other
man when he reached that street, He raised
his club md ordered the fugitive to stop, which
ho did reluctantly and, and he mar marched BIT! bin

like grip on his arm which made
him feel be was not in child's hands. Reid did
not know he had Wray in charge. sud when he
asked the prlsoucT his namo he gsvo that Of
Green. When he was taken to the station,
sergts. Callahan and johnson recognized hin, It
once. The latter, With Officers Hickey and
Barry, were also notified by oIeary Of the
attempted burglary, and went 1t once to
the scene. Tbs robbers had bored two holes in
Mr. Case's fre~proof SAFE and made one attempt
to blow it, which failed. There was no money
in it, but lot Of valuable papers, which we're Of
no use to any ono but the owners. In Wray's
possession vas found sst OF burglara' tools,
consisting OF a jimmy, braces and drills, keys,
ETC., and fifteen OF twenty feet OF fuse and
half pound Of powder. The stun was in
leather valtse, which Wray carried. Entrance
was obtained to the Office by cutting out
hols in the floor, the operation being
performed beneath the building. No weapon
was found on Wray, but it il thought that he
threw revolver away. The name OF his CON-
panion is not known.
It is thought that tho early movements Of
OLeary and the mar approach Of daylight
scared the burglars on. They probably believed
that the safe contained largo sum OF money.
Wray was examined before Justice 6cul1y
yesterday morning, and held to bail in S5, 600 to
snswer before the Criminal Court two charges,
larceny and having tnrg]ars' tools in his pos

THE NEW CHARTER.

The Executive Committee Of the Citizensf AZ.
! sociation held an important meeting yesterday
afternoon, at which the questions OF prosecuting
| the fraudulent judges in the lato election aud
| contesting the election were fully discussed
! and, after thorough interchange Of opinions or
| the subject it was decided that the Judges
should bs prosecuted, and that contest OF the
election should be had. It was decided that the
services OF Judge Lawrence should be retained
to conduct al Lhe legal business in connection
with the work to be undertaken and Moss1s.
Macfeagh and Fairbank we're appointed COM
mittee to wait upon the Judge and secure his
services, Tho determination to contest the
election was unanimous, Mr> Hea;og declaring
that he would subscribe $40 towards the e1-
penaea, even it he were forced to borrow tho
amount to settla his subscription, and all tile
ing equal readiness to supply tho necessary
sinews OF war.
At THE C1Tx-HAL1-
Peace and harmony and plenty Of blarney still
probably continue to do so until the annual ap-
preparations come fairly before the Committee
on Finance and the Common Council No action
Of any kind has ret been bad looking towards an
organization undor the recent aet, and probably
nono will be for several weeks. The Aldermen
appreciate the responsible situation in which
they arc placed, looking forward to bright
future. and making good resolutions Of their
future conduct just as it each and every one Of
them WAS enter1rg + new life
The Mayor and that old political warhorse,
Mark Sheridan, shook hands yesterday in cold,
clammy, peculiar manner, and amused
themselves by repattees about the frauds iu the
last election. Sheridan WAS the aggtessor, rs
be came around for the special purpose Of inter
viewing the Mayor, but all that he got Was few
taunting iec1iminatiuns about things Of the
past.
Mayor Co1vin evidently has the idea that
he Is the lender now in tho city political field,
aud has been telling ssveral persons what hep5o-
poses to do. One thing ia the aboltion OF
tue Board OF Police. fhe publication Of his
propositions has created great deal Of comment
among certain Aldermen, and thay are wonder
ing what reforms nre left to thsm when tho
Mayor proposes to take SO many reforms upon
h,mself. IN regard to the Police and Fire
Board, the majority Of the Aldermen hope that
ALI. Campbell will seo fit to introduce his pot
resolution, which be threatened to do At the last
regular session. merely for the pleasure o. see-
ing it placed, where it most certainly will be, On
dls Sentiment is entirely opposed to any de-
cided chsuges for the present, and the city CAN
not properly be said to be working under tho
act OF 1872 until the ordinances are revised &C.
cortling to tho limitations OF the act. Tha
present week will no doubt sss totne action
