Still, in tho language Of TINT Prinuc Of tux
caters, Mr.. TWEED. "what aro you going to
do about it?" The Chicago ta1.eators ask
tho question with tho most porfeot insurance.
They urc utterly Indifferent to criticism.
Thoy do not pause even to consider tho OBJ
iections or interests Of tho taxpayers. They
havo IN eyo single to tho disposal Of tho
horde Of wartl-bummers who control tho pri-
marics and atu1 tho bnllot-boxcs. With this
olasa properly provided for, Tiny hayo no
apprehension Of tho wrath Of tho tax
payers, and no fear that thoy cannot got re-
elected. II is time for tho poop1o Of Obi
cago to undoceiVo these professional tax-cat-
ora. It Is timo to show them that
public opinion still haa some forco in this
community. It Is time to give notice that
tlis plundar shall not bo continued, or at
least not by tho Bano sot OF tax-catora who
havo already betrayed their trusts. Every
votor Is other directly Or Indirectly ta1-
payer, unless ho is tax-eater. It is for
ovory voter, therefore, to inquire ut tito CON-

datos for Aldermen in his ward havo been

Protecting Forests.

> Mr.. Dnnnell, Of the First Minnesota
District, has presented a bill providing
or the appointment of commissioner to
INQUIRE into the destruction of forests,
md to ascertain what measures are nec-
.ssary to preserve the timber. The bill
S now before the House committee on
Public Lands. It is beyond ques.
ion that there always has been most
yanton and reckless waste of timber, and
,nless some measures are taken to renew
orests and limit the use of those al.
.eady in existence to what is reasonably
necessary, the country will, at no distant
lay, find itself seriously crippled.
Whether Mr.. Dunnell's measure is the
gisest action which could be taken, we
re not prepared to say, but it is in the
light direction, in that it points public
.ttention to the Importance of some pre-.
:autionary legislation, The bill is as
8 follows:
Be it enacted, etc., That the President be
nd he is hereby authorized and required to
ppoint, by and with the advice and consent
f the Senate, a man Of approved attainments,
rho is practically well acquainted with meth:

an intimate acquaintance with questions re-
lating to the national wants in regard to tim
ber, and with the measures that may be best
calculated to meet these wants as they arise, to
be Commissioner OF Forestry.
SEC. Q. That it shall be the duty o! said
commissioner, under the direction Of the Sec-
retary OF the Interior, to prosecute investiga-
tions aud inquiries, with the view OF ascertain.
ing the annual amount OF consumption, inn
forest products, the probable supply for future
wants, the means best adapted to their pre,er-
vation and renewal, the influence Of forests
upon climate, and the measures that have
been successfully applied in foreign countries,
or that may b. deemed applicable to this
or planting Of forests, and to report upon the
same to the Secretary Of the Interior, to he by
him transmitted to Congress.
SEC. 8. That the heads OF the executive de-
partments be and they are hereby directed to
cause to be rendered all necessary and practi-
cable aid to the said commissioner by access ia
the public records and otherwise, in the pros
ecution of the investigations and inquiries
aforesaid.

besn arrested on suspicion. He is now
in the lookup. Linquist denies the
charge, but says he can tell who
the parties are that did the deed. Mike
Hoy has the picture of the murdered man,
and up to this he has been identified by
great many.
The man arrested confesscs, but says
the other man did the deed. He says
Erickson threatened to kill the man who
murdered him, and that the murderer
came all the way from Hastings with the
knife to kill him with.
1t now appears that there was no
money in the case, but a woman. The
deceased was keeping company with a
woman on the cast side, and tho murder
ers were jealous of him. They on their

its committee pleases to produce on its
own side, let it. Such On investigation
cannot settle anything, and will leave a
distrusting and portentous public opinion
where it stands to-day. Plymouth
Church will not produce Mrs. Tilton as
witness, if any doubling delegate may
cross-examine her, nor Mrs. Bradshaw.
nor Mr.. and Mr.. Richards. 1t will not
produce the unproduced evidence that is
known to exist, that the pastor, before
the Goth of December, 1870, and before
he wrote the letter ofcontrition ''intrust.
ed to Moulton," that he had been charged
with criminal intimacy with Mrs. Til.
ton. Wien they escaped the council,
they knew that you knew Of Mrs. TIL
toms repeated confessions of that crimi-
nal intimacy to several persons, and was
prepared to prove those confessions and
he probably knew that the fact of his
previous knowledge OF the charge was
susceptible Of such proof that it could
not again be denied with safety. You
have been too long and too we'll known in
the best circles and the best Christian So
cicty of Brooklyn to make it necessary to
vindicate yourself here and I venture
the opinion that, before this painful con.
troversy ends. your truthfulness and
Christian integrity will be recognized by
all the world. You have properly cared
for the good name and fame of the Con.
gregational church, but the chruch must
now take care of itself. It must determ.
inc for itself whether its members can be
driven from its pale without hearing
k-s~
securely intrenched within its walls that
inquiry cannot drag it forth to the light
of day. Congregationalisln itself is now
on its trial, and it remains to be proved
whether it has enough iron in its blood
to continue to live.
With great respect, truly yours,
JOSHUA NJ. VAN Corr.
