CHICAGO LETTER.
Correspondence Public Ledger


CHICAGO, February "a, 1881.
The outrageous resolution recently
passed by the Inauguration executive
committee at Washington favoring the
exclusion Of so-ealled rebels from be-
ing assistant marshals is severely com
mented on by the. Chicago Times of
this morning. While scourging the
"idiotic" and s'brainless" action of
the "narrow-minded' and "bigoted''
portion of the committee voting in
favor of the resolution, the Times
pays a we'll deserved tribute to the
honor and bravery of the southern
people, and winds up by hoping that
General Sherman will entirely ignore
the cowardly and grossly insulting
part played by those who passed the
malignant fling at General Field, and
through him at the whole south. 1t
is a source of great satisfaction that
the section of the country so cruelty
outraged is intelligent enough not to
hold to account the north for the base
conduct of a few assinine bipeds who
have proved their ability to misrepre-
sent the feelings of a section of the
nation of which they claim to be hon
orable representatives. The ovation
now being given the Boston militia
ia New Orleans should bring a blush,
if such a thing were possible to the
cheeks Of those factionists who would
like another lease of villainous power
by keeping the north and south d.
vided. But such vipers are powerless
now. The blue and gray are once
more united and their friendship and
love will only be more thoroughly ce-
mented by such demonstrations as
that made against Gen. Fields, but SO
promptly and contemporary frowned
upon by Gen. Sherman.
The late action of the French gov
eminent in interdicting the importa-
ton of pork from the United States,
has caused a loss Of over $1,000, 900
to Chicago dealers during the
last few days, and the end is not yet.
The Hebrews Of Chicago are going
to have erected an institution for the
benefit oftheir old and infrm.
Nearly every night sympathy meet
ings for Ireland are held in Chicago
and funds raised for the land league.
Most Rev. Archbishop Feehan, of
Chicago, celebrated solemn requiem
for the repose Of the soul of the late
Bishop Foley. Two years have come
and gone, since that distinguished
prelate was called from among his
devoted flock.
Chicago scientists Of good repute are
advocates of butterine as a blessing to
the gdneral public. They contend
that it is in many cases superior to the
butter ususally found in market, and,
as a general thing, not far inferior to
the best brands of butter, and should
be c%ountenanced instead of being
frowned upon.

o'clock tomorrow evening. It's
movement will be up Second street to

theater, where it is expected to arrive
about 8 o'clock. A band of music,
embracing forty-eight pieces, led by
Eichorn, of Louisville, will move at
the head of the procession, a
squad of police in the van to
clear the way. Parti-colored lights,
including calcium and the latest
improvement in chemical appliances
have been provided in copious abund-
ance to illuminate the tableaux as they
move, The theater has been elabor-
ately decorated for the grand occasion,
the parquette foored over and car
