They arc Interesting In themselves, and
have historical value In revealing the
political inanonces mud purposcs Of tho auo
when they vera renncd. As private aud,
for tho time being confidential communica~
tons, they arc luoro trustworthy Indications
OF character and 1aoavo than any public Ut
tetanccs could bc. The most interesting
letter from ouAsEs baud dates back to 1871,
when ho Was young man struggling at his
profession To pay hta debtsaud earn living;
but evsn then ho was sctuated by an earnest
hostility 10 the spread Of slavery, and cou-
adent Of the ultiulato growth and suc-
cess OF Tie anti-alavery movement to
which he afterward contributed 80 much
vitality and foEce by hfs personal influence.
Thi4 letter, in connection with the two lot

THE WE5f CHICAGO PARK COMMISSION.
FRI

The West Side Park Commissioners-L1rf
HOLDEN, MGL1Aap, and Muus-have refused
To vacate Or surrender their offices from,
which tho Governor has removed them.
Mr. G. @. DoSaEx has written ,an opinion Oh
the subject, In which ho advises the Board
that tho Governor had no power to remove
them; that the members may therefore con-
tinue to exercise all the lawful powers Of
Park Commissioners, including that OF om-
ploying counsel to defend them, and paying
such counsel out OF The public moneys In
their hands. This legal opinion Of Mr. Boa-
NET IL indorsed by Judge q. D. LAWRENCE,
aud the opinion thus indorsed has bsen
printed apd circulated. Despite tho high
respect due 10 the opinion Of Mr. DoasEr
and his "associate counsel" taking q m.
tional vlew Of tho subject, We fail To SEQ any
force Of reason or Justice In the arguments.
To US the Argument Of Mr, BossEY seems 10
be made 10 order, to meet the exigsnc,es OF
tho case, and 10 givo sort Of prstoxt to a
gang Of official dead.beats to hold On to tho
otico 50 long aa there Is dollar OF public
money to be used In their defense.
The Constitution OF Illinois provides !:
"The Governor shall havo power to remove
any ofdcer whom he may appoint in case
OF inoompetency. neglect Of duty, or NAL
teasance in Office and he may declare his
Office vacant, md dll the same as " horein
provided in other cases Of vacancy" The
Offices Of Park Commissioners are Of the
class which under this provision tho Gov
exaor may remove. The Governor, in max
Ing the removal, placed On record the follow

MT tho people Of each Territory to organize
tho Stato A. FREQ or a s'avo Stato by ropu
lar vote, and, In antagonizing It as the grcal
danger threatening Republicania1n, L1xcoLs
showed that the real purpose was to resist
tho eneroachn'ont OF slavery on now ter:
| zitory. A further confirmation Of this may
be found in Ltxco1N's lettor nrging sup.
| preston Of tho pink In tho Ohio Republican
platform which demanded tho repeal Of the
Fugitive-slavs law, and holding that such q
plank In the national platform would prob.
ably prove fatal to tho party. No such reso-
luton Was introduced into tic national
platform Of 1860, md these fnterchangca Of
confidence between CHAsE and LINCOLN servo
good purpose in tho historical confirmation
that tie South was victim TO its own rage,
gFoet1, and disloyalty in tho war It waged
without provocation.
The interest Of ths other letters in tho col
lection is chiefly porsonnl, except that curl
oua parallel Is suggested by Ltsco1N's opin-
ion as to the cons.itutlonnlity of tho Fugi-
ttge-slavo act. His viow was that, as tho
Constitution provided that tho fugitive slave
"shall bo delivered up" aud o. It did not OK
prassly say who should deliver him up, 1t
was the province and duty Of Congress to
carry out tho behoss md provide the means.
Whatever the Constitution saya shall be
done and has omitted 10 say who sl,all do
IT, A1r. LINCOLN continued, "tho Govern.
mcnt established by that Constitution, ~ ri
trmini, is vested with tho power Of doing,
md Congress is, by The Constitution, ex-
proasly empowered to make Ill 1aws which
shall be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution all powers vested by tho Con-
stitution in tho Government Of the United
States.' But this Same argument, without
the change OF word or syllable, would ap.
ply with equal force To tho approval Of the
last Congress Which created tho tribunal
for passing upon tho Elcctorn! rotnrns,
and provided tho manner In which
the Electoral votos should bo counted The
Constitution provides that tho Electoral
votes "shall be counted" but omi.a to say
who shall do 1t; II was, therefore, tho right
and duty Of CoDgreas, undor tho same argu-
mens, to soy by whom tho votes should 10
counted. In view Of this expression Of opin-
ion on totally different subject, It may be
fairly concluded TINT LINCOLN, II ho woro
alive, would believe with the venerable
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS that HAyEs' title to
the Presidency Is better than that Of any Of
his predecessors, because ho obtainetl 1t by
force Of law, while theirs was only zr4na
taek. This Is an illustration of how In.

The news Of Mrs. L. j. Suggs
having given birth to four babies
last week, was brought to this city
BY a lady who lives near her IN
CASTOR County aud whose veraci-
IS is beyond question. Tho story
was good deal talked Of in the
city yesterday, and doubts were,
expressed as to It's truthfulness.
We will supplement it: Having
stated it at the time Of it's occur
renee, and having again, yester-
day, referred TO the fact that Mrs.
Sups.s gave birth to tripiets less
than two years ago, we now recall
the tact t at this lady gave birth,
one at time, to thrce.children be-
fore ,he tr.plets were born.
She has been married now but
five years, and is the mother Of ten
childrcn--an average, il they had
come siugly, Of one during every
six months Of her married life.
We we're informed yesterday by a
citizen OF CASTOR that when she
presented her husband with the
trinlpts. Governor Brogden, who
then occupied the executive chat
OF the State, presented her will
three hundred dollars. We cal
believe anything but that, and W.
hope the Gastonians will not insis
upon our swallowing the thrc'
hundred dollars. His Excellenc.
is an eloquent man, and we bcliev'
, him to be a sympathetic man, bu
he is not the kind of cat to throw
his three hundred dollar bill
around in any such style as that

sitting Bulls Quarters.

cypress Hill Letter to n Y, woridl
The region IN which Sitting Bull
is encampcd is full Of pleasant
places. Not many years ago the
country between Wood Mountain
aud Cypress Hill swarmed with
buffaloes. Now their skulls whiten-
ing on the plain and the deep worn
paths which traverse the prairie in
every direction are the only evil
dences of.their former existence.
Lately, however, vast herds from
the north have been passing south
ward, aud the Sioux are laying in
abundant rations. Foxes, wolves,
badgers and mink TEEN both in
these hills and Wood Mountain,
and muskrats arc very abundant in
the swamps and rivers. On the
prairie the little gopher or ground
squirrel and mole are found in
populous colonies. Prairie chick
ems, ducks and geese, cranes, Bit
terms, plover, sand.pipers, snipe,
and other warders, as well as pig
cons, blackbirds and larks, are
found everywhere, and serve to
keep the wolf from the door Of
Sitting Bulls lodge. Wooded
belts are scattered throughout thu
| country. The hcrbage is clean III
a well-shaven lawn, and clumps o
aspen aud poplar abound. be-
tween the Cactus Plain and Woot
Mountain the Great Salt Plain
that begins just west Of Touch
wood Hills, seems to renew itself
Hundreds Of small lakes OF salin'
water, without any visible outlet
are to be found, aud these are fire
qucntcd by wild fowl IN counties
fiocks. Sitting Bull has ammunl
tion enough to keep his camp SUP
piled with the luxuries Of the sca
son, his braves being wonderful
expert in stalking the cabri o
prairie deer.

uReScinded."

Inasmuch as the late action OF
this board, concerning an allow
ance to buyers Of three pounds
per bale. where side pieces form
part Of the covering Of cotton, was
partly Influenced by the assertion
that therc existed a law Of Con-
gress permitting their-non-use, as
was set forth in positive terms at
the late session OF the National
Cotton Exchange Of America; and
inasmuch as the law requiring the
thorough covering of all cotton
shipped on passenger steamers
has not been changed, but the re-
auirement of the use of side pieces
on all such cotton remains IN Mll
force therefore be 1t
Resolved, That until Congress
shall have Withdrawn the present
legal requirement Of side pieces.
this board does not feel called up
ON, in opposition to the wishes OF
the great body Of those who ship
cotton by river, to enforce upon
members Of this exchange tue OBJ
servance Of it's rule Of September
s, relating TO side pieces be, and
the same IL hereby revoked. and u
no longer binding upon member'
OF this exchange.
| Reso we'd, That this board den.
that their former action in relation
to side pieces was in any manneI
unjust to sellers or producers Q

buyers. That in their opinion
was just and equitable to oil par
