Hand by which the destinies Of Nations and

Senators, Representatives, Judges, fellow
me in an earnest effort to secure 10 our

"a Union depending not upon the con.
straints Of force, but upon the loving devo-

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Auswcring business call
to the East few evenings since, I, for the
fourth time this season, boarded a Fort Wayne
q chicago car at the depot ut Canal and Madi-
son streets, bound for the City OF Brothery
Love, anu 1t has occurred to me that / might
confer some benefit somewhere if I mentioned a
lew OF the evils connected with such a journey,
and, IN the first place, wish to call attention
to the very high price Of slccping-ca accommo-
cations. The palace car price for 4 thirty-six
s9 aours, m ride from Chicago to New York is S to
days Of the Var, or in tue flush times alter
WARDS, Tie price Tor such an accommodation was
never more than wha4 it is now. '' Why is this
tnns;" Or, more pertinent question, Why
Should it be thus?
1 eau for the fourth time this year take crisp
sto greenback or twenty jtngtins half-' dollars
o. o. our daddes ~ upon MY return to my cosy
nilrree,,sldc, pass it over to nv wife, and say,
mere, old girl, behold the result Of little sac-
rit'ce OF personal comfort, ouc-ha1f Of which
the Company might have had, checrfully, too,
were the prices right" am we'll satisfied that
less style" throughout and rates cut square
III t"o would be proper as we'll as profitable
'nS yrpr ior tue paaee Car Company to consider
prompt and fairly decent road is the fact that no
safety platforms are used Oh the cars. No i'm
provetnent over the hideously dangerous plat
lorlns OF ten Or more years ago prevails within
eue proflnce OF lon scott's doulinions, except
a narrow board perhaps sixteen inches wide
stretching across the yawnins chasEn between the
cars,-a bcGearly apology for safe means Of
transit. Doubtless the managers will say that
the curves are too sharp On this road, etc, and
M that passengers hayeno business stepping across
while the train is in motion, vet it is patent to
every traveller on other roads that the Pennsyl-
sania Compauy's cars are narbarously construct
Gu in this respect, and public opinion should cry
out against it.
To conclude wish IN ear word oho,t +1,n |
eating-houses along this route,-not that thcy |
average any poorer, perhapa, than do those On |
other routes. scventy-dve cents is the present |
price, and so has 1t been to my knowledge Tor |
fifteen years. Now every man who thinks one /
OF the '.jineling half+aollar5'' aforesaid is uot
enough for what even a hungry man can stow |
away in fifteen minutes will please s'hold up bis
hand"!

g. It. STANFORD.
Last evening tribune reporter called upon
Mr. G. ". Stanford, ex-Prcstdcnt and Auditor
Of the West Park Board, at his residence, No,
2o.3 Ashland avenue. Mr.. Stanford was found
you newspaper BOYS, for you're always around
when there's anything going on.f
'tThen you know that You have been in
ssYes, learned SO this afternoon. Do you
know what I am indicted for! II
charge of conspiracy-yourself, Henry Greene
baum, and Eben +. kunyan.''
$50 they have got poor Runyan in9'' inter-
jected a1r. Stanford. II am sorry for the poor
fellow. You know he has had his experience.
But I believe indictments arc fashionable now
adays. They're unbiased, generally, though. I
must say, am embraced in the present case"
The reporter continued:
"You and the other two gentlemen are
charged with .conspiring to dctraud the West
Town out Of $G0,000.''
''Woll, nov, that is too bad" said Mr.. STAN
ford, / am sorry for ourselves"
"You seem to take this matter coolly,n said
the reporter.
"Why shouldn't I; 1t doesn't worry me any,"
replied A{r. Stanford.
s. But it is serious charse.''
Yes, but there is no truth in It. Tam ready
for trial anY time, aud ii they find ANYTHING
wrong against me, nm willing to abide the
consequences. The whole thing is the spite
work Of Millnrd and Holden. They are un-
scrl1pulous schcmcrs. Outside OF the trouble and
expense this thing occasions me, it doesn't
worry me one bit. Ny family don't even know
anything about 1t YETI
What have you to say as to the indlct-
mcnt3o
~ haven't seen it yet, but the place to try
case is in court, and not in the newspapers. I
have learned that in my experience as Il lawyer.
This YOU can say for me, that, so far as ain
am ready for trial any time, and
tue sooner it comes of the better I'll like it'
That it is all Mr.. Stanford had to say on the
subject OF his Indictment, and the reporter lett

not, he might be communicated with By letter,
If he would be kind enough to leave his adj
dress.
Did Mr.. Lamb know anything Of the charac-
ter Of the Missouri Iands1 OF course he did.
With the Tolubility Of the curiosity in
travelling museum, aud the eloqucnct OF q
Peter Funk dealer in orcide Watches he dcserib-
cd ut length the general features OF the soil IN
christian County, its running waters, juicy
pastures, argcptifcrous lead mines, iron ard
zinc deposits. The title was as clear as that Of
saints to mansions In the sky. 1t was not owned
by Johuson; 1t was the property Of parties in
the city.
'sWhen will johnson be hcrcl" querled the
scribe IS Mr.. Lasnb stopped for an instant to
ut is very uncertain. You can write to him
here. Make your proposition and send y.our at'-
stract Of title. No doubt Il trade can be had.
Leave your address and he will communicate with
you"
This terminated the interview, and the re-
porter left fully persuaded that the party Of the
name OF johnson, whose front name is j.,
does not matcri alize except to write or receive
letters over or under that cognomen. Should
be have an actual existence and make himself
manifest he will confer a sweet boon on the
scribe who for three weeks failed to discover him.

The great and general decrease IN property
values in Philadelphia IS shown by the de-
creased assessments. Although during the

in buildings in Philadelphia, the Assessors have
been obliged to make decrsase OF SloNy0, IVY

The monthly figures are large, but after de-
Quoting railroad mortgage Of S3,000.000 the
amount aud number Of actual local business arc
the smallest OF any preceding month OF the
gear. Payments are above the average standard,
, and are in the proportion OF IS per cent to
new indebtedness. These payments represent
mortgages, the average consideration Of each Of
which is nearly double the average of instru-
mcnts now filed for record. Thus during the
past month the average was $22,2200 each; ]; in
November. 1876, the average was 3,es0, and in
1875 was In excess of $4,000. Hence, the num-
ber Of releases scarcely tells the whole story of
the rate at which the West is reducing its in
debtedness. In all fairness, the gross number
OF trust deeds and mortgages ought to be re-
duced one-haIf in order to compare With the
number OF releases.
