10 the Editor Of The Chtedoo Tribune:
CHICAGO, Nov o7.-The wsnton and deliberate
murder OF poor Whyland is but the natural fruit
and consequence OF the toleration and even
protection afforded by the city authorities to the
gamb1e1r and desperadoes who infest the city.
Your remarks on the subject in to-dsy's TRlB-
USE are worthy Of most serious attention, no t
only by the officinls 1hose inefficiency or worse
has been the indirect cause OF the foul deed, but
also by the citizens Of Chicago. upon whom now
rests the grave responsibility OF seeing that
prompt and stern justice ia done. There is
but one feeling amongst decent people,
and that is, that things have now come to such
. PASS that, at all hazards this horde Of gam
bling and murderous blackguards who block up
cur sidewalks in their numbers and insolcnce,
looking out for their prey, must be driven out
from our midst- It is tho last STRAW that breaks
the ca.nel's back. It is about broken. Should
JUSTICE DOW rniscarry, there will DO immediate
stepa taken for the formation Of vigilance
committee whose early duty, after disposing OF
Whyland'g ASSASSIN. will be TO give notice to
each Of the fraternity to leave the city within
twenty-four hours, under the penalty Of " sus

APPEALING 10 THE P0IICE-
70 tas Edisor Of The CHICAGO Tribune:
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-"L Law-Abiding Citizen, !" in
your Issue Of the 9th, appeals to Supt. Hickey
to rid the city OF the gamblers thieves, and
bunko- steerers that infest IT, Does he not
know how utterly fut,le all such appeals are?
It is veil known that official has ability. and that
he understands his business well. He knows
cyery prominent rufasn and lsw-bzsaker better
than most lav-abldipg cizixens know the prom
inent merchants Of the city. he has long had
the force and ability to drive all our pests from
our midst in few weeks, If not days. 1t is.
therefore, we'll established by past experience
that hs will not, and never intends to.
unless compelled. How shall be be CON-
PEELED? By superior officer. That officer
being now our potorionsly y-ineompetent Mayor,
ne can look for no aid in that quarter.
We must exert ourselves at tue next city
election and SEQ that some man like Gen. Chet-
lain is made Mayor. In the interval, ieE COM
rnittee Of safety be aopointed.-one OF such
numbers and responsibility as to awe even our
poiice force, Is did tho Citizens Guard that %.
Tended our city after the great fire. In the First

thoroughly ave the gamblers and thieves Many
citizens may not like the idea Of doing police

that our dwellings, are entered nightly in large

DEKyyE OF NOTORIOUS CRIXHALa.
IL The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-I know without asking
what lawyer wonld rush to the legal defense Of
the nurd ,rer Of Charles Whyland-if not de-
TERED by the outcry against Mcdonald and the
gamblers; because know whst class Of lawyers
have prevented the conviction Of the criminal
classes in our midst. I care not what may be
the etiquette OF the legal profession which
claims that it is wrong to refuse to defend
when asked the most notorious OF public cri1ai-
nails. This IL false notion, and when carried.
as it has been, to tho exGeme, highly
pernfcious &c society and the en-
forcement OF law and order. To
this false sanse OF duty-whica enlists the
brightest and best intellects in defense Of the
most deprayed criuinals-do We owe the Lax and
GLOW administration OF justice and the virtual
subyersiou Of law. No Legislature in the world
can frame statute which Soma shrewd lawyer
may NOT destroy in behalf of some abando4ed
criminal whom he ia hired to defend. This OK
plains why criminal procedure has bean farce
