-Cu1cAao, May 22-Has Polico Commissioner,

any other merchant? Tho ordinance prohibit
ing sisn-boards being placed on the outer

Police Commissioner Klokke, who il allowed to

sit at tho weekly meetings Of the City Council
aud vote; and that the combined wealth Of said
individuals could not furnish sufficient means to
build single car. And to I>y certain knowledge
they do not own single foot Of real estate on
the pror"~ed route- A few residents on West
Fourte t stree. were induced to sign peti-
ton S--h >ho promise OF being refunded tho
amount i. choir assessment. ~
This ring of speculatoIs have engineered this
ordinance through, with the aid OF their silent
partners in the Council, With no earthly object
but the prospect Of selling ont to some rospon-
e;blo partiee, who, in the near future, would, no
doubt, undertake this much-needed improve
ment- The street has been. for the past
eighteen months, in i frightfus condition, and is
nov, likely to remain 30 for some time it this
ordinance is not annulled. or until this
sek-sty1ed Metropolitan Company knocks
it down to tho highest bidder. How
so many OF the solid men Of the
City Council waro induced to vota yea On
tbs passage Of this ordinance ia mysters tn
many reputable citizens on West Fourteenth
street. I, With many others, would Ike to see
this much needed improvement made, but dis
like to SEQ our prospects Of anything Of the kind
retarded By the charter getting into the hands OF
irresponsible parties, who will hold it a. an

n HINT TO DIRECTORY NEN.
10 the Editor Of The CHICAGO Tribune:
. CHICAGO, May q. Il was called On to-day for
my name and place OF business for the city d.
rectory now preparing. The canvasser pro-
posed to take it ~ in certain building, say tho
bryant Block" end to that I strenuously and
peremptoriiy objected, and gare tho street and
number only. Now there is reason for this.
Take tho present directory and look for business
addresses, aud sea how many OF them
aro in some building, giving there
no +: street or number, and named
after some one to "nemo1y dear" Then an
other look must BE- had for th4t building. Some
times that is omitted but even If it is found it
simply awells the volume and cost OF tho book,
without tho slightest benefit to auy one, not
even to these men whose questionable taste leads
them to fout in the eyes Of all passe1s-by their
claim Of proprietorship.
1t is to be hoped that the directories for this
year will contain references to the Numbers on
the streets where thai OF room in building is
given using tho street number OF the main en-
trance. II. T. B.

will find the authorities of Eureka

however, that we have but little con.
lidence in the sincerity of the officials

veniion has been called To meet at Bur
falo. July 4. to consider the best means
of speedily uniting the United STATES
and Canada. 1t is to be composed OF
three delegates from each congressional
district in the United States, ard each

will do no hurt to talk this matter over
in a friendly way. Union would be a
good thing for both countries. They
belong together. United they would
form a people as homogeneous as
either of them exhibits to-day. 1t
would be a wise, economical measure.
1t would settle veXed questions which
now and then disturb the peace. 1t
would save a long line of custom
houses on the frontier. 1t would in
crease the prosperity of Canada with
out decreasing our own. But IL -
union which cannot lie hurried. IL
must lie a love match or no match at

There must be no constraint, and not
90 much urging. Let it be talked
over frankly and freely, and, If the
young folks agree old John Bull may
lie confidently asked for his blessing.

JUSTICE OUTRAGED IN TENNES.
SEE.

It is a few such ou.ragess a the fol-
lowing, perpetrated generally by an
Irresponsible mob of degraded whites
in some Southern city, that gives the
limited amount of capital necessary for
q starter for a chapter of imaginary
Ku Klux outrages which are dali Y
published in the radical journals of the
blood and thunder persuasion: "a
Nashville negro shot a policeman dead.
The negro was arrested and impris-
oned. The people assembled, and in
their anger broke open the Jail and
took him to the bridge to hang him.
A rope was put around his neck and
the poor wretch suspended from the
bridge; but the rope broke, the negro
fell over ninety feet upon the rocks
beneath and rolled into the waters.
Two shots were fired at him, and his
body sank. We do not remember to
have read, for a long time, of an act
more cowardly and brutal than this
killing. The negro was in custody.
There was no chance, no pretext that
he would escape. The laws offences
see are clear and supreme, and in a
city like Nasbville-a Southern city
controlled by the whites-there is no
fear that an indulgent public opinion
would arrest the operation of the law
But the man was a negro and the brut-
al feeling, which seems to be inherent
to the lowest order of Southern whites
toward the negro. was allowed to bring
dishonor upon justice in Tennessee,
and upon the American name. Prob
ablg not q solitary person, claiming
even the semblance of responsibility,
wa connected with or sanctioned the
outrage. And yet, it is just such affairs
as this that have furnished texts to'
radical Q mons and given the tinge Of
p%lausibility to fanciful sketches OF da-
bolical outrages perpetrated upon the
negroes by the respectable whites Of
the South.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MOTION.

The Grand Jury of Humboldt coun-
ty has found an Indictment against j.
w. Rover for the murder of j. N.
Sharp, at the Sulphur mine. The de-
PENDANT was arfaigned upon the charge
and granted until to-day to plead.
Rover, by his counsel, moved the
Court that a process issue and be
placed in the hands of the Sheriff re-
quiring the prosecuting witness to ap
pear forthwith; that copies of photo
graph be taken, that counsel may be
enabled to identify him as a certain J..
F. McWorthy, concerning whom he
had received several letters informing
him Of certain operations performed
by him at various points from Lower
California to British Columbia, the OBJ
.iect being to secure witnesses to i'm
peach his testimony. The Cont con-
sidered the motion an extraordinary
one, but, as the case is an extraordinary
tie, took the matter under advise
ment.
This is one of the most remarkable
cases that has ever come before court
in this State. The defendant, against
whom the circumstantial evidence APP.
pears almost conclusive, focuses the
prosecuting witness, McWorthy,o of hav-
ing committed the horrible deed for
which he, the prisoner, is arraigned,
and maintains hat he is the victim,
of a plot %concocted by the former.
Some of the circumstances give a slight
coloring of truth to the prisoners state
ment, and should he succeed in con
Meeting McWorthy's past life with a
record of criminal or disreputable
deeds, the principal testimony for the
prosecution will be impaired to a de-
gree which will render a conviction
improbable if not impossible. No
pains should be spared to bring to
light all the facts connected with this
mysterious affair, and we are of the
opinion that the Court, under the cir
cumstances, would be justified in
granting the somewhat extraordinary
motion of defendants counsel.

lister must first obtain a license from
the District Judge by procuring ere
dentials that the said minister has
been regularly ordained in some re-
ligious society or congregation within
this State. For tho violation of this
statute, the minister may be fined in
any sum not exceeding $500.
