The good work goes forward brayely. The
North Town Board yesterday took action on
the claims Of tho Collector for compensation,
and instead Of tho extravagant stms hereto
fore voted with prodigal reoklcssnoss the
Board only consented to allow fair and
moderate sum for tho services rendered. Tho
Board, moreover, adopted = resolution In fa-
vor Of abolishing township organization in
North Chicago, and, ouriously enough, the
only negative votes vera those Of tho super-
visor and Town Clerk. The South Town
Board has yet to deal with MIKE EyAAa'
claim for compensation, amounting to
$4,000, and 1t should hardly be necessary
to suggest To tho Jussices that this Is not .

Tho House having called for the report Of
Mr. D. Il Pn11L1ps, Of Springfield, ILL.,, who
was appointed Special Revenue Agent to in
sestigato the whisky and customs frauds In
BAn Francisco, tho publication Of TINT docu-

his report Mr.. pl1L11pa distinctly INSERTS that
tho whisky thieves in California hnvo enjoyed
the powerful protection Of Senator SARGENT
and other Congresrmen from tint State, aud.
backed by this influence, have set at defiance
all attempts to probe and punish tho frauds
upon the reyonuo. Secretary Ba1srow has
undertaken to protect tho Government and

third mortgage on two miles Of Tho road, W.:

would sanction such an expenditure Of

tirely unnecessary for tho purpose OF build !
ing tho bridge, but, In order to borrow money |

It was supposed that this hcyday Of cxtor-'

cisfon Of tho Supreme Court, which declared
that tho Omaha bridge was simply n part Of

APPEALING TO TIE COURTS 70 PUNISH
ELECTION FRAUDS.

E4EG41VN EhA0ud.
The plea that the four men who have
fraudulcntIy seized the town Offices in South
Chicago, in behalf Of themselves md four
score hummer doputics. should not be dis
turbed until dispossossed by tho Supreme
Court, however good in ordinary cases and
under orSlinnry circumstances, is wholly inap-
piicabla in this cese. The people Of Chicago
have for yenrs danced obsequIous attendance
on the Supreme Court, begging that Court
to interpoas tho judicial authority Of tho
State to protect them against 1awlosaneaa,
official bribery and corruption, and against
fraudulent elections and forged md parjurod
returns, and the Court has invariably dis
missed the appeala, telling them in ef1eot that
there waa no legal redress for stuffed bal1ot-
boxes, no punishment for odlcsHa bribery,
md no logl powor to restrain illegal and
dishonest official acts.
We arc not arralgning or criticising tho su.
premo Court; we aro not questioning it's
learning OF lis politics; We refer to these
things to chow TINT, as against tho opon, con-
feased, and notorious frnuds oflast weol, thoro
ia no legal radress, NO judicial deliverance, no
remedy md no prevention, and for such
crimes there is no legni punishment. Such
is the aolemn adjudication Of tho highest
Court in Illinois. Tho courts being closed to
the people both rs for protection and redress
OF frauds and for punishment OF tho crime,
the fatal consequences arc now upon the pub
lio. A year ago there was town election in
this city, in which the conteatanta, ToM

much shall make out Of u" "Not dollar" was
Mg Webster's reply. After this there consider
able correspondence between Gen. Meigs and Mr.
Webster-an order for 800 worth of the preparation
a misunderstanding, some impudent letters from
Webster about rings, &c, and then more letters.
Such testimony rs this against Gen. Meigs surprised
and shocked every who heard it. If there is or
has been in Washington, within the last II years,
civil OF military officer who has enjoyed reputation
that has been above suspicion, that officer has been
the QuartCrnastcr-Gcne of the Army. HIS very
name has been terror to Rings, dishonest claim
ants and swindling contractors With Opportun-
ties and temptations greater than those of almost
any other official during the war, breath Of sus-
picion was ever raised against HIM, and to suppose
that as late as S7i he should make such an infa-
nous proposition as Mr.. Webster described TO per
feet stranger and for such paltry sun as cc1ld
possibly be paid out Of an appropriation of $30,0a
was simply incredible. Gen. Mcgs was at once
summoned before the Committee, and positively de-
MED any such conversation He also brought all his
letters and papers touching the and laid them
before the Committee. The most charitable expia-
nation of Mr.. Websers testimony, and. indeed, tho
only explanation, since he seemed TO think he was
telling the TRUTH is that he originally mi,under-
stood Gen. Mcgs and tha his troubles since have
caused him to exaggcrats lis original mistake.
