this week. This is a cool city, cool
in every way, except in its greeting
and entertainment of guests. Chi
cage, rs a city, is doing all in her
power to entertain the crowd, many
private families throwing open their
doors to visitors who are perfect
strangers.
The parade was the event of the
conclave. 1t was over seven miles
long; one hundred and fifty bands,
with 5000 knights were in the pro-
cession. The streets were most Gle
gantly decorated thousands of yards
of bunting were thrown to the breeze
uniquely decorated with the Masonic
emblems. Imposing arches spamed
the principle streets at intervals. The
parade was enjoyed by all except the
Knights, who were six or seven hours
on their feet in the sun. The wealth
er was the warmest of the season
in fact the warmest Coicago has ex'
perienced for years.
The Moberly commandery is here
with a good band. Missouri is well
represented, as she always is and viii
be at everything of merit. Among
those from Mexico we notice the fol.
lowing well, known persons:

The Mexico Knights presented
bold front in the parade. No Knight
%presented a better appearance tina
those from Mexico. Jas. CAIRO
deserves great credit for the system
attic way in which the details of tn
Mexico lodge were attended to. Th
next conclave will be at San Fran
cisco in 1888. We learn that Mobei
ly put in a bid for it. The ball wa
too big to roll /; the crowd was jus
terrible the floor of the hall coul

twenty thousand people were dancin
at one time. In short, the conclas
was too big for the town.

The Grccnback orators % find
nothing else to berate the Democratic
party of Audrain except that our
county court has reduced the wages
of those working OF the roads from
81 TO rs cents per day. The facts in
the ease are these: The court reduced
the road tax from 20 cents to 10 cents
on the hundred dollars, and wages
per day from 81 to 10 cents, which
really makes less work f,r the farmer

Prosperous Times.

The return ofprosperity as now evi.
donced by the increase Of business oil
around this city, is remarkable. The
appearance Of West street, North river,
for theplst twenty four hours, is calcu
lated to give a stranger the impression
that the large number of trucks congre
geted there are competing for special
premium to be given the one that car
ties the heaviest load and becomes the
most entangled with the other. Great
Inns occur at numerous points, and
The police are kept busy preventing
confusion.
The sales for the West are enor-
Inous, some houses reporting them
100 per cent. greater than last year,
while the advance in Southern trade
IL said to be simply amazing.
One Of tho largest houses in this
city sells 200 per cent. more goods in
tho South than it did last year, and
has orders ahead that can not be filed
in two months.
Inquiry at some of the largest up
town dry goods houses show in every
case that the Southern trade has doub-
led since last year. Heavily laded
irucks may now be seen at all hours Of
the night as well as the day on their
way to discharge their loads for the
West and South.
some of the houses here use electric
lights, and do heavy business long
after the usual hour. The hotels are
crowded, and local business is very
encouraging, the dry goods housesre
pJrting an advance of rs to 30 per
cent. in sales over last years trade.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. @. Dec, 10, 40.
On monday last the Supreme Court
rendered a decision which seems to
me to be highly creditable to the
Court and highly important to citizens
generally. An individual who believed
that no had been wronged in the Off
cid acts Of the Secretary Of the Inte-
rior, and who who failed to obtain re-
dress or even the consideration offur-
Their evidence in the matter on which
the Secretary had acted, applied to our
District Court for a mandamus upon
the Secretary, directing him to perform
u certain act in the case. The District
Court decided that it had not jurisdic.
ton over q Cabinet officers official con-
duct. The case was taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and,
though the Attorney General held
that Cabinet officers were responsible
only to the President the Court re
versed tho decision of the lower Court,
and ordered the mandamus to issue.
So, from this time forward, the Cabi-
net officer is, like other citizens, an
swerable to the Courts of the country.
Only those who reside in this city, and
those who have business relations with
the government, will fully understand
tho gravity Of the question decided,
but all will understand that public
officer restrained by law, will be n
very different person fron one having
irresponsible power.
The House went on good naturally
with the electoral resolution discussion
on Monday, but to day it was dropped
with an assurance that it would not
DO taken up again until LAT Democrats
"a quorum of the House-were
present. Our Republican friends have
an unpatriotic way Of refusing to vote
and thereby breaking quorum when
they don't like measure and have not
a majority.
Exit the electoral resolution, and
enter the refunding bill. This latter
was discussed yesterday afternoon,
and will be for some days to come.
The Committee bill provides far some
$500, 100000 in twenty years bonds,
of three per cent, to be used in retir-
ing like amount of higher interest
bonds. Secretary Sherman and some
Congressman prefer three and one
half per cent bond. Representative
Kelly has bill providing for $780,
100000, in three per cent. bonds, or
Treasury notes, of denominations re-
deemable after July LIST, 1883, and
$273, 100000 of like bonds redeema
bic two years later. Representative
Buckner wants $6OO,OO0,OOO in Trea-
. s,lry notes, of which not more than
S6O,OOO,OOO shall mature each year.
: The reapportionment bill will be
presented to the House before the
holidays. The figures Of population
will be ready on the 21st. Probably
three hundred Representatives Will be
agreed upon as the number in the fu-
ture, and the population of each
District will be 10000,
; The Senate yesterday did its part
in an act of justice by authorizing
Mr.. Hayes or his successor to restore
Fitz John Porter to the regular army
as of the same rank he held in that
body at the time of his dismissal. Gen
eral Porter was then Major Genera
of Volunteers, but Colonel of regul
lars. tits believed the House will pass
this bill. 1t does not provide for the
payment of any money for the time
Porter was out of service.
