It will be seen by notice in the an
nouncements for religious services that DR..
WILLIAM ". PATTON is to speak in Farwell
Hall at o'clock this afternoon on the ques-
ton OF the Bible in the public schools, which
is at tbs present time exciting 80 much in
terest. DR.. PATTON has long been recog-
nized as one Of the prominent evangelical
clergymen Of the city, and be has few, if
any, spperiors as clear andlogical rcasoncr.
It is understood that his views are not in
sympathy with those who insist On the read
ing of the Bible in the public schools The
address is given in answer to call from
large number Of prominent citizens who are
connected with evangelical churches, and we
arc grathed to observe that so many intelli-
gent and considerate men of all denomina-
tons and classes are coming to recognize the
fact that, under our Constitution and Gov
ernment, sects in q minority have equal
rights to protection with those that consti-
tute majority.

There will be found in smother part Of
HE TRIBUNE list of the places for holding
the Republican primaries, tomorrow after
noon, for the selection Of delegates to the
First and Third Congressional Conventions
that are to nominnte the candidates from
two Chicago districts. The importance of
these primaries is scarcely second to the
Congressional election itself. Chicago has
been mis1epresented in Congress for two
years by three Democratic Congressman,
who acted with the Confederate majority in
the House, and who got their places BY
mere **scratch-" It is very likely that these
three men will be candidates for reelection.
They can be beaten without any trouble if
the Republican voters will do their
duty and nnminate gentlemen of recoe-
nized ability and character against them.
This part of the work will be
determined largely at the primnries, and the
result can be assured by sending only good
men to the Nominating Conventions. We
have no doubt the various aspirants for Cou-

day the dollar greenback represented 9o5

The Rev. WILLIAM ALVIN BARTLETT, pas
tor Of the Plymouth Congregational Church,
sewers his connection with that church to-
day and breaches his farewell sermon this
evening. During his stay in this city the
Doctor has made a large circle Of friends by
his genial personal qualities, as well as by
the performance Of his ministerial duties.
During his occupancy of the pulpit, the
union Of the Plymouth and South Congrega~
tonal Churches was effected, likewise the
building Of the large and handsome edidce
DOW occupied by his flock, and the large in-
crease Of his congregation These gratify-
ing results DR.. BARTLETT can point to as the
direct fruits Of his labor, and he will 60 to

A very important matter, and one that
zhould engage the prompt attention Of the
Mayor and Common Council, is the necessity
nf filing up the mud-hole left in the Luke
Park. It will require but comparatively
kma1 sum to pay off the workmen who have
been engaged in filing and grading, and to
supply the top-dressing necessary to COM
plete the work. OF course the public will
easily do tho filing, as it is crest favor to
be allowed to dump in that cavity. When
this is done the city viii have one Of the
handsomest walking perks in the country, a
mile in length from the Exposition Build

With proper e1ertions the work could be
done and the park all graded before winter
sets in Tho result is so desirable and in
portant to the city that the Mayor and Coun-

Yesterday We printed an extract from
JACOB THoupsoN's report to JEFF DAVIS, giving
the result OF his mission to Canada, in COM
pany with CLEMENT G. CLAY, in 1864, to pet
up fire in the rear. In this issue VIC give
the document in full It throws blaze of
light on the purposes, objects, and opera
tons Of the Order of the Is Sons Of Liberty, "
Of which S. COMING Jupp says he was q
member and Grand Commander for the State
of Illinois. It will be seen that JAKE THoAp-
SON regarded them, and acted through them,
as the Northern wing Of the Confederate
army. He says that while he failed
to establish an open and successful
rebellion in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio by
the help Of the secret Order Of the s'Sons
of Liberty" nevertheless he produced such
commoion in those States and such appre-
hension in the mind Of the Administration
as to cause LINCOLN to keep back from the
field or withdraw from the front 60, 600 Fed
eral soldiers, who were employed to watch
tha ':Sons Of Liberty" JAKE suggests to
JEFF that in this view Of the subject
"T The same amount Of money has effected so
much in no other quarter since the CON-
mencement Of the War" He does not in
this document tell how much of the Confed-
crate money he distributed among the Of
fcers end Commanders OF the t8Sons of Lib
erty in Illinois. Perhaps S. CORNING JUDD
knows, as he Gays be WAS the Grand CON-

special monument to the enterprise of our
people, and lasting testimonial to the hon.
esty and efficiency Of the gentlemen who
have composed the Board Of Public Works
from time to time. Noy that retrenchment
must be the order Of the day, the city is in
the best possible condition to pursue it, and
it is only necessary at the annual charter
elections in the spring to select Mayor and
Common Council as honest and public-spir-
tied as the present Mayor and Council, to
insure the preservation of these works at
the smallest possible cost.

cies. The animal cannot be caught, and the
Prince has issued manifesto that he shall
not be hut. Meanwhile, the indignant peo-
pie are on the eve of revolution. They can
not appeal to the Emperor or B1ssnRcK,
since by the articles Of confederation the
Prince has the absolute right of regulating
his internal affairs. He cannot meddle with
outside politics, and no outsider can meddle
with his politics or stags. Not being able
to bring the stag to bay, at last accoupts the
people we're devising ways and means to

Of war, in which that stag or somebody else

WQMEN IN POLITICS

Upon that never-ending and always-recur.
ring subject Of the influence Of woman in
politics we have received letter from an
esteemed lady correspondent. The letter ID
IN criticism Of IN article which appeared
some time since in The TRIBUNE, based upon
Mr. H1GGHsoN's 'Four Boston Women ~
and discussing the relative honesty Of men
and women in Office. Upon this point onr
correspondent quotes the following satirical
extract from paper written in the National
Teachers Afcnthly by Mrs. MARGARET B. SUI
11VAS: "Perhaps it may be pretended with
some aPpearance Of jusiice that the political
morality Of the country cannot be reduced
below the degradation to which exclusive
parties of men have brought it. Be that as
1t may, we cannot afford to let women have
the ballot if they are going to use it for pub
lie theft, for men alone have shown
themselves capable Of doing all the stealing
which the country can bear" Our CORE.

That was very cheerful gathering at th
funeral Of the Board Of Public Works, whe,
the principal employees celebrated the goot
feeling that has existed in the organization
and when Messrs PR1HD1vn1E, THOMPSON
| and VAIL retired to private life with tn.
| willingness and grace that al citizens il
public service should exhibit when the public
has no longer any need of them. In parting
with the Board Of Public Works as an oficia
organization, it is only proper TO say thai
the people Of Chicago have been more uni.
formly fortunate in the selection Of the gen.
tlemen who have composed that Board than
any others of their public servants; and,
while larger amount Of money has been
disbursed by that Department than by any
other, we think it is safe to say that
less OF it has been misapplied or
wasted. The public works of Chicago
are marvel of skill and enterprise,
and fully adequate to the wants of city of
much larger population, as they are also
far in advance Of other cities older in years
and of greater size. The reason why the
old Board may now be abandoned is because
the public works are in so complete and
excellent condition that they only need to be
kept in order, and because the subordinate
branches Of the service are so well organized
that the expense Of a separate Department
can be spared without injury.
The water-supply system of Chicago is
now one of the most thorough in the world.
The last report of the Board-for 1876
showed that there were 40 miles Of water
pipes in the city, and there are now nearly
double as many as at the time of the
fire Of 1871, Of which = greater pro-
portion is Of n larger size than the
pipes of New York City. It is estimated
that eleven-sixteenths of our pipe are Of
sizes considered aafe for fire purposes in all
cities Of the world. This vast system of
pipes is supplied by two lake tunnels and q
double system Of pumping works, and the
full capacity Of the works, when both are in
operation, is probably equal to double the
average consumption of the city for all pur-
poses. Our water-system is more than self
and yielded surplus over the
expenses and interest on bonds Of over
$4,000 during the last nine months of 1875.
Dur other public improvements are in m
equally advanced condition. We have all |
ho bridges aud river tunnels necessary for
he accommodation of the vast traffic
which passes them, and nearly oil
he railroad viaducts demanded for safety
nd convenience. 1t the end of last year |
here were 2G3 miles Of sewerage, over 100
niles Of which had been constructed since
he fire Of 1871; and large part of the pro-
erbial healthfulness Of Chicago is due to
be admirable system Of drainage which has
cen adopted There are about 120 miles of
aved streets, and about $50 miles of side
ralks. The river and harbor, the engine
ousas and police-statons, and indeed all
ae necessary adjuncts and modern improve
lents Of thorough-goins city, with the
ngle exception OF City-Hall, are in con-
ltion that will compare favorably with those
any other city on the Continent.
Nearly the whole Of this vast system Of

He chased the Indians about sixty miles,

state that Sitting Bull crossed the river below
Fort Peck on the "a b, and had sent word to

be erdty, but he wanted ammunition.

THE DEBATABLE STATES.
ISt. Louis Republican,
or the sixteen Southern States bnt four are
being cor tested by the Radicals with any hope
of success in the approach in & presidential cleo
ton, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee. Virginia,
Georgia, Alabama, Maryland, Mississippi, Tex
as, Arkansas, West Virginia and Dela ware, with
their 100 electoral votes, having been conceded
to the Democrats from the very first. There
remains North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina, each of which four States
is low presided over by a carpet-bag governor.
To avoid any danger of dispute in Congress
over the returns from these four States, the
Democrats mast secure no fewer than seventy
six electoral votes from among the Northern
States. New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, California, Oregon and Nevada supply
exactly seventy seven votes, or one to spare (;
and each of these Northern States is to-day
of these last seven States are claimed by the
Democrats. and with good reason, for every
one went Democratic at its last election I; but
notw 18th standing every one of the seven is to-
day placed in the " doubtful" column by the
Radicals. With the exception of Nevada, all
are in reality as safe for Tilden and Hendricks
as the twelve Southern States first named.
However, they must all be considered in the
list of debatable" States, SO long as the Re-
puhiicaps remain unconviuced.
Among the Northern States seven are con-
sidered 10y the Democracy hopelessIy
Radical that it is not worth while to discuss
1iden's chances therein, and these are Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska. Maine, Vermont
and Rhode Island. Subtrscting these seven
strong Republican States, together with the
strong Democratic States, FROM the entire num-
Der of tie American Union, leaves (in addition
to the four Southern States and the seven
Northern States first mentioned) Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois. Msssaoh usetts, Michigan, Wis
consin, New Hampshire and Colorado, all OF
which are very close States, and az debatable
betw cen the two parties as the seven Northeru
States claimed by the Democrats.
