GENERAL SuERMAS Is reported as

and never had occasion to doubt his
integrity. I know that his previous

pulous honor. OF course ! do not
know the caaSe of this decentralization,
but having lived in Washington dhr
ing his tenure of Office l can form

his downfall is due more to the vicious
organization of Washington society
than anything else. ! refer 10 the III

who wss born andraised with n. end
have gcnd feeling for our people.
The strangers whom we have put
into high Offices BY our votes, and who
have gotten rich BY our support, do not
know Us when adversity overtakcs us.
When We first obtained our freedom by
the war, a set Of strangers came
amongst us and told us they were our
special friends, that the people we had
been raised with were our enemies.
and that we must not vote with them,
but must vote the Republican tick
ct.
We have followed their advice, and
have put these strangers into Offices,
and they have gotten rich by taxing our
people and putting the money into their
pockets. What good has it done to you
and me: II we want any help we
have to 60 to some one who knows Us
and will trust to our honesty. These
strangers whom we have promoted will
not help US. They tell us We must vote
the Republican ticket and yet they tell
us it will not do for any Of US 10 ask for
office. We may have a place if there
is no pay in it, but il there is any il
must be given to them. The Repabli-
cans have cheated Us several times,
why should we trust them again:-
When We had money they persuaded and
almost forced US to put it in the Freed
mans Bank which they said, to help the
colored people and make them strong.
They put black man as President OF
the bank and one of their own white
men from the North, as Cashier, and
he had all the money, and the next
thing We knew our money was all gone,
they had taken it out Of the bank and
used it themselves.
They even made us swear to support
their men who were strangers to U.S.
They sent preachers down here to dc.
ceive Us and to keep US from trusting
those who had never deceived U.S.
But every time we have been fooled.
/ am tired of it myself and think you
are. Our friends are the Democrats,
they made this government and We can
remember when they had the govern
ment at Washington that times were
good. We could make more money
then as slaves, than VIC now can as free
man. shall trust those that know

people Of Chicago to subscribe to TINS loan.
It is the only why, indeed, in which the CITY
can bb relieved from its temporary enoar-
rassments and enabled to MAINTAIN the
Police aud Fire Departments, and other lndls-
pensable adjuncts Of the Municipal Govern
ment. The payment Of the new certificates
is positively assured, since they will not III
all exceed one-fourth of the tax-leyy Of 1876,
out of which they are payable. Meanwhile,
the prospect of recovering the tax-levles OF
1873 and 1874, which were supposed to be
irevocably lost by the decision Of the Su-
preme Court on Bill 800, is exceedingly
good. We have explained in another article
the procedure by which it is hoped and eS-
pected to enforce the collection Of the lost
taxes Of those years by means of reassess-
ment under the General Law, which the
Courts are now committed to sustain. The
plan seems to be in strict compliance with
the law, and it is only reasonable to expect
that it will be successful. This will
restore about S., ,oo0,0 900 Of the revenue Of
the city, supposed to have been lost
81. 600 Of contested and unpaid taxes,
and another large sum of tax-certifcates now
lying in the Comptroller's Office. With this
assistance, Chicago will be able to wipe out
its floating debt, and the credit of tha city
will be completely restored throughout the
world Then the certificates drawing S per
cent interest, which are now sold by the city
at par, will be worth premium.

The proposed improvement of State street,
from jackson to Twelfth, still hangs fire. and
what should be the most splendid thorough
fare in. the city, and in any city in the United
States, remains al almost impossible quag-
naire in wet weather, and common recep-
tacla for garbage at all seasons. Three
fourths of the property-hol have agreed
to pay for the work, but few Of the re-
naming property-owners, with an obtuse-
ness to their own interests that is incompre-
hensible, stand in the way Of theimproyement.
The marked improvement in Wabash avenue
property consequent upon its being paved to
Twenty-second street has sufficiently demon
6trated that such improvements pay, espe-
cially on the South Side. But Oh State
street, with its hundred feet of roadway, and
with now more splendid buildings fronting
on it than upon any other street IN the city,
there could be no investment that would so
we'll pay property holders as that required
for this improvement, which is absolutely
necessary to Lift State street out Of the mud
and garbage, and make it the Broadway of
Chicago. How much longer is picayune
pig-headedness to prevent that being brought
about?
, 1876-07-23


Relative to the proposed Saving in the gas
bills (Which is imperatiyely necessary, not
only on account Of the city's embarrassment,
but because the years appropriations for gas
are insufficient to hold out at the present
rate of consumpion), all will agree that it is
better to reduce the capacity of the burners
and shorten the time Of the illumination
than to arbitrarily turn off eve alternate
light throughout the city, if the same reduc-
ton Of expense can thereby be accomplished.
We are informed that the hours time saved
by the new table which has been adopted
for lighting and e1tinguishing the lamps,
and change from 5~feet to 3-feet
burners will actually save as much consump-
ton of gas as if one-half the lamps should
be extinguished altogether, and the other
half kept burning at the old rate. If Mayor
HEATH vetoes the ordinance passed by the
Council ordering one-half the lamps to be
extineuished, it will probably be because of
tho danger that the gas companies under
their contract will be able to hold the city
for damages from such a course: and with
the expectation that the Council will adopt
the other plan Of reducing the capacity Of
the burners. At all events, the saving must
be made,-f net in one way, then in another.
