An Immense D,nsrsnee.

The bids received yesterday, oy the
Lovy Court Committee, for leveliDg and
grading the old baain lot at Tenth and
Market streets, where the new Court
House Ia 10 be erected, form most con-
elusive argument in favor of we'll
regulated and properly guarded contract
System. For this work proposals were
requested by public advertisement, and
fifteen contractors responded, their bids
ranging from S777.T TO 1892. This is
certainly wide range of estimate, but
~ the lowest bidder IL o well-known and
Responsible contractor, IL IL reasonable
to suppose that be carefully considered
the nature and character of the work to
be lone, and IL prepared to fulfill the
contract In manner satisfactory TO the
committee, and reasonably profitable to
himself. The difference between the
lowest and highest bid is S2,634.23, and
the difference between the lowest bid
and the average Of all the bids (about
$l65O) Is $S7223. These figures give an
idea OF what the county saved by gividg
the work out by contract, instead Of
having 1t done by the Levy Court.
These figures should also suggesiively
impress upon the minds of the mem bers
of City Council the importance Of all
herihg to the contract system In the
various departments of city work. True,
all large job of works are given out by
proposal to the lowest and best bidder,
but only fe " years ago the cleaning of
the streets was given out by contract at
figures whi.:h enabled the city to save
several thousand dollars; s;while the streets
were as well cleaned AZ they were before
or have been since. The contract sys-
TEN, properly conducted, his always re-
suited In a saving of money, particu-
larly in the performance of work for
municipal or other political incorpora-
uons.

The star chamber investigating COM
mittee, appointed to try Geo. M. butcher

last night, in H. F. Pickel's office, and
took testimony bearing upon the case.
Those present were Messrs. Fraim,
Pickels, Hayes, Green and Gawfhrop,
OF the committee; Mr.. George w. Wells
who acts as counsel for butcher, and
Mr.. John Cullen Bryant, who will not
appear as witness, so he says.
Mr.. Fraim examined the witnesses
and acted as secretary, and Mr.. Wells
m ade things once lively In a while, 80 tits
said; and hot words were uttered. The
only witnesses examined personally were
Crawford Spear Esq, Of Philads lphia
and Col. Jno. 81. Moore Of this city.

Mr.. II. q. FraIm said this morDing that
all testimony will be in at the session to-
night. He thinks the testimony against
butcher will be ended early In the even
ing, and the rebutting testimony will not
last long. Affidavits from Mr.. butcher
and Mrs. Watson Will be presented.
The committee are already widely diff
ferent In their opinion, and It Is probable
that difficulty will be experienced in
reaching verdict.
"There are some in the committee who
can talk" said Mr.. Fraim, dubious-
ly,. "and is hard to tell how the thing
will end"

fve dollars. The plaintiff was Adam

he refused to pay for them, he had
brought the suit Captain Denny on the
other hand, claimed that shortly before
before he got the shoes, Mr.. Thomas
