TO The EdtteT OF The Chlcaao Tribune:
CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-A few weeks ago the min
listers of thiscisy wore engaged in discussing the
lamentable moral degeneraoy Of the churches,
and whether there Was any feasible way to make
church members moro conscientious. II these
ministers have discovered any such way, the
public,-tho outside public,-would like to know
it. especially If it ia anything worth trying; but
if it is something which they have not tried on
their own members except in theory, thoy had
better hodit back, lest the world laugh at them
for their simplicity.
Let them not imagine that cleaning the outside
Of the platter will do, or that & new set
OF indu1gencea or patdons will maze things love-
~ aud right, for herein is the great obstacle to
conscentiouspess. The Church expressly te.ch-
ca and oldains that nothing is surer to be par
doned than sin-that no matter what person
does, no sin or crime 80 black that repentance
will not wash it white as snow. Wnat does a
church member care It, led into the by-wa}s Of
dishonesty or tho pnrlieus Of vice, his garments
get covered with filth? All he has to do is to
wash thea in Bible blood and repent, aud he ia
al right, as white-souled rs before. Protestant5
condemn tho Catholics for having in ths dark
ages granted indutsenees and vet the Protestant.
Repent and Forgive which costs nothing
ia teutold more harmful and searipg 20 the aver
age Christian conscience. L.

To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Feb. 2G.--Lest Gov. Deveridee may
claim during the ensuing campaign that bis fra
quens and unexampled exercise Of the pardon-
ing power constitutes l34 reasons why be should
again fill the Executive Chair-and lest he may
boast when he gets to the other world OF the
multitude Of desperadoes whom he has pardon
ed in this, thus making himself rival OF il not
equal With the Supreme Pardoner-it may be
we'll to inquire what all these pardons amount
to IT not Us license from Devsridge to go and
sin again. Ought the people to thank, or curse
and kick the Governor for this rock
less interference with Justice WHAT'S the
use Of courts and iuries it, the moment 8 rogue
iB sentenced, the Governor steps up to him and
saye, ''Ftlend, that Judge and that jury made
a mistake.-they arc a set Of fools; 1 know
what's what-you may 60" Thus in one short
year Beverldgo turned loose uoou the omm1:;-
ty 134 convicted scoundrels whose arrest, keep
ing, and tl,al mus! have cost the public 50, 600
to SlO0U for each convict, ,--tla snm OF $3.50, 600
to $500, 100 Let Deyer1dge DO longer claim to
be au economical officer, when, in single year,
he throws away so large sum. Before Bever-
idge can derive any credit for turning loose up
ON society go many yagahonds and murlerers,
let him follow these liberated 1asca1s to their
"a homes" and at the end OF ai1 months, tell us,
If he can or dare. how manv Of them have be-
come honest, Industrious, laT-ab;ding citizens.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Your local notice headed
q *1nsuranco in this mornings TRIBUNE con-
tains few errors which, in Justice to the par
ties whose names and regulations are somewhat
involved, need correction. In the first place,
my resignation Of the agency Of the Pheni1 IN
surancs Company WAS purely voluntary on my
part. My appointment as agent Of the Spring
field Fire and Marine Insurance Company Of Mas
sachusetts ia % one Of the firm OF R. S. Critcholl&
Co., the other member being 4. J. Harding, Esq,
General Agent Of the Springfield. The relations
between that Company and AID. Case (who has
been their agent here for many years) have
always been entirely pleasant, as they are now,
and that Company esteemed him 80 highly that
they would not have transferred their agency
from him unless he had suggested it, as be did
some time ago, with the view Of the above
named firm beng appointed his SUCCESSORS. The
above will explain the ''mystery." Respectfully,

assemble, do not appoint some one, it too busy

attend to such things, and hence the importance
Of placing the responsibility for the comfort
Of the audience upon the managers who should

from the moment they enter till tho

10 the Editor ~ Tho Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Your reply to the Phila-
deIphian who asked how many ChicagoanB wore
going to the show Was very good, but you might
ba7e added that the number will depend very
materially On what the railroads charge them for
getting there and getting back. Unless Pills
delphia and the; Centennial managers have
enough influence to induce the railroads to offer
the public more generous terms than those en-
bodied in their late Ring Circular, not many
people will 70 from Chicago OF any other distant
place to the Centennial. TIC railroads seem de-
termined to kill the Centennial in advance, and
could have done nothing more efIectual for this
purpose than BY forming ca=tiron Ring
aud throwing it around Philadelphia
II the Ring agine that because it ia nstional
show people must and will 90 there and pay
them any price, no matter how illibe1al, they are
much msstaken, IS they aud the Centennial man
ayers will iud to their cost. 1t is said that the
railroads made up q large purse to be used in
lobbying through the Centennial appropriation.
and to reimburse themselves for this large out
lay we're compe1e 10 put up the fares aud get
it back out OF the peop]e-a very dlscred1taple
transaction. at any rats they delayed the an-
nouncement OF their Ring rates until the bill
passed. The fare from Chicago to Philadelphia
