OFFICER 11 nd 73 Weit Market Street. AM U SE 51 EX TS JIE. E. L. D0WXI5G IS TALLY-HO AT TOE CKAKT. Honday, Tatsday and Wednesday evenings next, and Wednesday matinee, the attraction at the Grand Opera Housa will be the talented and popular young actor, Mr. Ji, L. Downing, in the realistic drama in four acts, by Joaquin Miller, Esq., author of the "Danites" and ,;43," entitled "lallyEo," a play depicting fronteer lila as it is. Hhe story of the play is based upon the life end adventures of Hink Monk, tbe once noted stage coach driver, made famous by the late Horace Greeley. The Ecen?3. sitaations and ciimexea, are all dramatically Btron?, and wrought out in the mcst natural and elective manner. Mr. Downinz, who assumes thefctellar role, is one of the best young actors in the profession, and is veil remembered here a3 the leading support o! Edwin Booth, Mary Anderson and Jo3enh Jelferecn for several seasons past. He poasüsses a magnlrlcont physique, powerful voice and handsome face and form. He has rust with great success in the impersonation of heroic roles, many critics pronouncing him the equal of Frank Mayo. Miss Ida Zlulle, who assumes one o the leading part3, is well remembered on account of her recent appearance here with ILice's Surprise Tarty in "A. Bottlelof Ink." She is pretty, petite and winsome, and tings like a nightingale. The other members of th company are Mr. James Wallis, Mr. Jeff D'Angeli3, 2Ur. Julius Kahn, Mr. J. E. Sldley and Mi33 Florence White. Speaking of a recent performance, a Brooklyn paper says: A Western drama without a piötol-shot is an anomnly, end a pleasing one. Tai3 was a noticeable f&rt in Joaquin Millers nsw play, "Tally-IIo," at the Grand Opera House, l&3t night. The house was filled with a very latpJitgent audience, drawn there doubtlesi by the reputetIonof the Poet of the Sierra3 fed an inventive dramatist, ami they were in to wie disappointed. "lally-Ho" is founde 1 on a simple incident in the life of Ilank Monk, the famous stae-driver who carried Horace ,Greeiy overihe Sierras on his fir3t trip West. It is based on a contest between the hero and one Thomas Crabtree, the villain, for the hand of Kosie. Monk marries her, and atterward a man named Sailor Hill 13 stabbed to death in a scuille in Monk's csbia, as he Is led to believe, by his wife. To To shield her he claims he did the deed, and i3 convicted on his own statement. Before lie is fpunished Crabtrea is disclosed as the culprit ana taden out to be lynched. The play is a strong one in its simplicity. Thj plot is not . obscured, tha characters are not over numerous. "VICTOR DU.?P,, AT THE GRAND. There will be no more notable engagement, theatrically, in this city this season, than that of the great Wallack Theater success, "Victor Durand," at the Grand Opera House the last half of this week. "Victor Darand" was written by that talented and popular literary man. Mr. Henry Guy Carleton, and put on at Wallack's Tneater, New York, tome two months aso, and had a tremendom ran in fact, it at once jumped into popular favor and captured both pres3 and public. It has stare been produced in San Francisco, and Is the reigning sensation of the Pacific Coast there at the present time. The company plajiDg it on the road is a superb one in every way, numbering among others, such well-known professional people as Mr. I. N. Gotthoid, Mr. George Clark, Mr. Charles Bnckstone, Miss Sophia Eyre, Mis3 Louise Dillon, and a host of others. All the original tconery, mechanical effects, etc., will be used in the production here. The engagement Bhonld, and doubtless will, prove one cf the most encceasfal of the season. Ealeof eeats opens Taesday morning next at the theater box-oCice. 'MARTS OF OAK" AT ENGLISH'S. Tins week we have a rare treat in store for us. James A. Hearne's "Hearts of Oak" Company hold the board3 for the entire week. A great many have seen this play, and no doubt are anxious to see it aain. To those who have not seen it the foliowiag brief explanation or description of the play may be of some interest. As may be seen, it contains nothing immoral or degrading, bat is fall of beautiful actions, which have an as elevating and ennobling effect as a g3cd sermon: The story of "Hearts of Oak" is that of a brave-hearted mariner who givei up his home, his young wife and bis child for their own happiness, who sails away to the frozen regions and permits himself to be thought cf aa dead, in order that the young girl who married him out of gratitude may became the wife of -ne to whom her wifely affections had been given. The pathos involved in bis return and the ensuing scenes of sorrow aie suggestive of other stage Pictures Enoch Arden" and "Kip Van Winkle" jet the character seems in no sense aa imitation. Mr. James A. Hearne as "Terry Jnni9on," the eelf-sacrificing hero, acta with a good deal of strength and niskts the leading points very ctl'ective. The other characters are well supported. Not the least trne to life is the "real live baby," whose movements are such as to delight the heart cf every mother in the audience at least. Tie play is excellently mounted. The following from one of the leading journals of the country will prove that it is an attraction worthy ot being numbered amongst the best: Although presented at Chicago a great many times during the psst two years, "Hearts of Oak" has lost cone of the public f vor which it so readily gained upon its first represantation, the theater last night being filled to its ntmest capacity. The story of the play is now a familiar one, and deals with ordinary characters in humble life so faithfully, and with absolutely no attempt at exaggeration, that the interest cf the audience is never allowed to flag. The company, by perfect familiarity with the parts to which it is assizned, and careful study of the same, has reached a point of effectiveness highly gratifying in these day?, when one star and a bundle of sticks . are so frequently placed before the public as worthy ot patronage, and the success of the play is not a matter for wonder. Jame A. lie arne, as "Terry Dennison," represents a well-balanced and intelligent conception of the part, and the others are deserving of praise for the capable manner in which they performed the work assigned them. At the low price of fifteen, twenty-five and thirty-five cents admiasion all should ba able to see this enjoyable play and the sweet, cunning little baby, who plays the part of Bby" with such tact as to win even the hearts of old bachelors. Next week Charlotte Thompson in the new "Jane Eyre," "East Cyna." "Kamanoff" (new), 'Taillis" (new), and other standard play?. Charles Craig, the well-known artor, is the leading man: admission, twenty f.vo, thirty five and fifty cents. the dime Mrszr::. Drew Ä Sackett. proprietors ot the Dime Unseam, closed another very successful week last night having given an excellent chow and entertained thousand ot people daily. For the present week, opening tomorrow afternoon, another very strong list of attractions is anneunced, chief among Which are Charles E. Tripp, the armleas phenomenon, who sketches, writes, eats, ana, in fact, accomplishes every conceivable performance with the aid of his toes alone; Sir Jos. Lncaile, a Madagascar wonder; Isaac W. Oprcsne. Bunum's living skeleton a triUble phintora man; pert, pretty and petita Jeania Quigley, the Queen of all LitlipuUins; Lczir's "Bright Lights :,k the original "Mnidcca Qcirtit." America's greatest feer; Ilka i;ttl Martyn, the sweetest singer of Cfenaia; Prcfccror E. G. Johnson, the wti::t EtrsciiiUathatrorid; Perry tad Lola Ejca, refined society sketch artists;

Luigi Dl Oro. the wizard of music s unit wonderful artist; Mai com & Melville, Kings of the air, on tin trapeze; GriSin, the wonder Worker; Olivia, the mind reader; Panel and Judy; Bohemian glass blowers; a novelty ; Sam and Jim, from Alabama; and our old friend, Marsh Adams, in a new specialty. This wiil be the banner show of tb season, and packed houses are assured. Ten cents admits to all. GILMORE S ZOO. This house will return to drama and specialty Monday night, after a very snccessful twoSweeks of combination?, Mr. George France, the well-known eensational dramatic star in his famous play called "Block Game," in which he will be supported byi the Zoo stack and his educated canine, being the principal attraction. Mr. France is an old-time favorite in this city, and the announcement that he will appear will doubtIes3 fill the Zoo to its ntmo3t capcity. In addition to the play, which will be produced with new ececery and mechanical effects, a fine olio will ba presented. Among the names appearing will be seen Miss Cunniegkam and Curren, the famous Southern "winging" team, surnamed the "Two Jambo3." Miss Ada Weat, the seriocomic brilliant, in a choice selection of songs. Mr. Bart Saunders and Miss Nellie Daniels in their comedy sketches, Introducing banjo eols, duets, etc, beside other artists of note. S0TE3. The daughter of a millionaire is in the chorus of the Abbott Company. Harry Miner and wife are in New Orleans and playing in 'The Silver King." Mrs. Julia Brutonne has sued Nat Goodwin for alleged breach of contract "Hearts of Oak" has always been popular here. It will run all week at English's. Lotta has been doing remarkably well in Cincinnati, Louisville, St Louis and Chicago. Emma Abbott is called a "Mascott" by opera managers for the good fortune she always brings them. The sprightly contralto, Lizzie Annandale, 13 again with Abbott- She made a sensatioo

in opera in London last year. Poland Reed began life as the call boy in Mrs. John Drew's Arch Street Theater, Philadelphia, and is now a fall-fledged star. There Is a pi03pect that Mis3 Payne, one of the brightest members of Irvine's ComI any, may remain in the United States. More changes haye recently occurred to the "Bice Surprise Party." which may soon try a Tevival ot "Evangeline." Emma Stanley has left it If the statement of an English acquaintance be correct, Yseult Dudley, who shot O'Donovan Rosea, at one time played chamber maid on the London stage. An enterprising stage manager in London has had his stage grass manufactured of feathers dyed and then sewed into mats, the whole having a mo3t realistic effect. Rose Eytinge left Denver last week for Lcadville and from thence to Aspen, making a stage ride of sixty miles across the Rockies. The citizens give a guarantee. Talk of Lydia Thompson's return to New York continues in England, but most of the reports are unofficial. William Elton is booked to accompany her if she returns. The Booth family debutantes are increasing. A niece of Agnes Booth recently made her first appearance on any stage, in Newark, N. J. Helen Hosmer is the young lady's name. Reports have reached Jacksonville that the schooner on which Colonel Hall's circus sailed December 3D. has been lost on its way to Nassau, and that all on board were drowned. The attraction at the Grand Opera House ntxt week will be Charles Hoyt's funny comedy, "A Rag Baby," first three nights, and the Hanlons' great spectacular pantomime, "Fantasma," last three nights. The fourth and last week of Edwin Booth's engagement at the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York, proved to be quite as successful es the first He seems to retain his hold on the public with wonderful tenacity. If he be not a great actor some deny that he is we should like to know who is now the great actor of the American stage. Mr. Booth attracts the crowds and he piles up the ducats. This must be received as the infallible test in this country. George W. June, business manager to th9 "Three Wives to One Husband'' Company, thinks Miss Patrice, of his company, is the coming Lotta of the stage, and, like the shrewd bu3iness man that he is, is striving to secure a five years' contract with her to star. She hails from the City of Churches. Brooklyn, Minnie Palmer's birthplace, and is the daughter of ex-Judge Whitbeck. Of her talents there is no possible doubt, and as these are combined with youth and beauty, there should be no question as to her success. TUE BREAK IX WHEAT. It lias Caused Great Excitement tu the Chicago Karket, Which ila He. com Very Active Corn and ProviAious Oaiet. Chicago, Feb. 28 The paat week on 'Chansi has been one of great excitement and activity. A big break has livened up the wheat deal amazingly. The down tura is peculiar, too, in that it was not caused by any raiding; of the bears but Dy "longs" themselves. For a month patt tho market had been in the hands ol the crowd. There was a wonderful amount of grain owned here and in the country, bat It was in little jagi and much scattered. Holders clang on week after week hoping somehow to get out with a profit. They told and retold all possible bull arguments from rulaed crops to bloody wars between all the great Europeau powers. The "short" interest, however, wouldn't scare, and to raise the market by 6hcer force of boylne, with such stocks as are now in Uht, is well-nign impossible. Scalpers, at the tart, boosted nrices up about c, May touching 8iKc The best efforts, however, could get It no farther, and the impression seemed to become general among the 'longs" that there never would be a better time to ect rid of their loads. So they commenced to realize all at once. This started the break, which the enormous amounts forced on tne rcarket by stop orders and exhausted margins soon caused to develop Into a panic. Of course Xa.t. Jones. George EldriJge and the Adamses, who are always on band when decline is under way, seid heavily and helptd on the weakness, but they took ad ran tage of the drop rather than engineered it. Whether there tas been break enou?hyet is, of course, a question, but prominent conservative brokers with whom the writer has talked say that they would not at least not advise further "short" sales, as they regard the chances cf a lc further decline and a 3c bulge aa about equal now. It is ; just such times as this when the little balls have all been shaken out, even to the second crop, and when success has made the bears willlu to tell any amount at any figures, that some strong man or combination quietly puts in brokers to take all offerings, and when the market ii given a little twist the shorts." sedn? the tables turned, will do the rest in their eorts to get oat ol darger. Then, too. although crop scare stories appear pretty riimscy now, the time for the breaking up ol the ice and Know can't be lar off, and at that season the co'.d nigMs and warm days have always, on raper at leat, cancel a great deal of damage to winter wheat, which ha served to Ive the market a cool many sharp upturns, and there secrrs no reason why this yeir should ba auexctrtion. On tie other band, enormous stocks, lack ot export demand and the alleged dcties to be imposed upon American wheat by France ana Germany den t make the outlook any too encourBgtng. Covn has been very quiet There are not many who care to go 6hort at present prices, while the number of those who would like to buy May around 40c is large. This atate of things keeps thesiarket pretty well pegged. The fact that prices have withstood the panic In wheat so stubbornly, too, is regarded a evidence of an immense amount of Inherent strength, and holders l-eüeve that when the latter market tarns on, the up grade corn will go with it. Frovissons are about steady. The excitement In what and the absence ol Mr. Armour have placed thii market somewhat nndcr neglect. Receipts of hoes this week have been about doable what they were last, but they have sold well and have not had much influence on product as the packing season ends with this wees.

WASHINGTON'. Our Usual Illustrated Budget Front the National Capital.

Senator Cameron, Ex-Senator Kellogg and General Slocatn, Ilusecrans, Pnll Thompson and Others. Wajhisgton, Feb. 7. One hundred and fifty gentlemen are just now serving their last week in the Congress of the United ! States. Next Wednesday they will shake the dust cf Washington and cf official life from their feet. It may be fcr yeara it may be forever, for of the 4CO Senators, Representatives and delegates in Congress 150 lay down the robes cf office at the close of the present session of Congress, not being returned by eleetion. Of these retiring statesmen eleven are Senators, seven are Delegates and 132 are members of the House. Of the 150 about one-half have served but one term In the body In which they sit, while the others fange through term3 of years running up to ten and twelve. There are a half dozen men who retire at the end of this session who have served ten years ap'ece, and a half dozen more who have served twelve years apiece. The aggregate legislative experience of the l'O who retire at the end of the session is about 750 jear3, or an average of five years apiece. And the most wonderful leature of the whole matter is that of the 15j who go out of olSce at the end of the session of Congress sixteen, or a trI9e over 10 per cent., do so from choice, having decllnpd a renomination. This "roll cf honor" is as follows: Budd, of California; GENERAL Sr.OCUM. Hardeman, of Georgia: Cameron, ot Wisconsin; Washburne, of Minnesota; Davis, of Illinois; English, of Indiana; White, of Kentucky; Lacey, of Michigan; Jordan, of Ohio; George, of Oregon; Patton, of Pennsylvania; Houseman, of Michigan; Dlbrell, of Tennessee; Poland, of Vermont; Miller.of Pennsylvania, and Maginnis, of Montana. Bedford, Blair, Lapham, Pendleton, Cameron and Dibrell have served ten years each, and Kehcgg. Maginnis, Vance, Smith, Backner ana Poland have served twelve years apiece. Of .the hundred and fifty thus retiring, there are a number who are worthy of more than passing notice. Take Senator Cameron cf Wicconsin, for instance, who refused a re-election. His departure Is greatly regretted by a great many men here who know him best .He is one of the hardest workers, best natured men, and mcst popular members of the Senate. Hi3 as33ciates of the Committee on Claims, of which he is chairman, are especially attached to hin, and evinced their appreciation of him but a few evenings since by tendering him a dinner at one of the most fashionable establishments of the city. Mr. Cameron is an extremely agreeable gentleman personally, cspable of telling a good story and telling it well, but not often indulging in that sort of thing, a hard and cocscientioua worker. His sturdy Scotch determination and will power carries him through many difficulties which many other men would think could not be overcome. Recently he met with the misfortune of Itsing the ue of his writing fingers, probably from long and constant use of the pen. And what does he do? Sit idly down and call his well-paid committee clerk to do his writting for him, as nine out of. ten men would have done? Nothing of the sort; he simple seized the pen as one would the handle of a dagger orawalkihg stick, the point of the pea projecting past the lower portion or "ball" of the hand, and in a few days had learned to write with the pen in this position. Almost any day, if yon are in the gallery, yoa may see this white-haired and white-bearded man writing in this odd way, rather than ba dependent upon his committee clerk or a private secretary. He retires to resume the practice of law, his firm having continued tne business during the ten years he has been here. m. SENATOR CAMERON. How edd it will seem to William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, to be out of office. Poor fellow! he has not drawn the breath of a free American citizen for twenty-five years. Appointed Chief Justice of Neoraska in 1SG1, his career has been that of a public servant ever since. He held that office until he got a better one the Colonelcy of the Seventh Illinois Regirrent and in his war eipericcces found the climate of Louisiana and the opportunities for office both agreeable to him, eo he tettled there at a good fat salary as Collector of the port ot New Orleans, which place he resigned as soon as he became United States Senator in 1S0S. He held his Senatorial position until 1:72. when he resigned to become Governor of Louisiana, and after serving his term was elected to the Senate again, whence he, two years ago, drifted to the House. Unselfish fellow; he has always been ready to reeign an office when anolher and better one was fairly within his grasp. Office-holding is supposed to be unremunerative, but Mr. Kellogg seems to have been able to scrape together a pretty snug fortune In the twenty five years ne has been in the business. He lives at Willard'a Hotel when here, rides in his carriage, and is usually accompanied when walking or riding by the prettiest little spaniel in Washington, one pronounced by dog fanciers to be the finest in the United States, having cost $500 in London, where it was purchased two years ago by Packard and sent to Kellogg. General Rosfcrans ia another gentleman ho makes his adieu to public life next Wednesday. Fcr the present, at least, though it is quite probable that his disappearance may be only temporary. He is a man of a good deal of reading and study, and with a name which would do a good deal toward establishing him at some nice cczy foreign mission, to which Mr. Cleveland will be pretty likely to appoint him if be wants it; and he will want it, provided he docs net gti something better. Another gentleman who stepa down and out, with a heps of stepping up and into a better plica, ii Phil Thcnpccn, of Keatcciy. XI baa His eye oa the Internal Revenae

Bureau, and is concentrating the re of Kentucky on Cleveland to gat it. Phil U mere asked for than almost any other man on the floor. His personal career ?-as been

such that a good many leop'.e wast , to see . him, as they would want U ee any subject for its individuality. He is cot an orator, his weak voice and small fisure unfitting him for oratorical preatne. Be made a pretty good record for himself in Isst lesslon of Congress. His Pacific Riilway bill and his bill relating to internal revenue were among the best measures predated to the House. But his constituents did not appreciate them, aDd Governor McCrearv is to fill the teat that Phil vacates next Wednesday. Poor Chalmers. He goe3 out, regretted by nobody. The Southern Democracy, who he served too faithfi Uy during the war as the lecords of Fort Pillow testify, despisa him, for did he not turn acainst them when they refned to support his unsnpportable claims In a eeat in tue Forty-seventh Congress? Tne Republicans with whom he then cast his lot dt spite him for what he had been and what he is, fcr they recognize his "conversion" as merely one for the sake of tho ioave3 and fishes- He retires to obscurity, as he ought. He glides silently about the halls of Congress like a shost, seldom spfa&ing or spoken to, fteling himself the political outcast that he is. Another man who gees out unwept and unhonored is Mr. Doräheimer, of New York. He camo in with a blast of trumpets but gees out amid the hcotiegs of the mob. His two years in the House have sho;vn how greatly a great people may be mistaken in a rx an that they suppose great. If Mr. Dorsheims has any greatness other than that of a physical nature, it is cf a sort to fit somewhere else than Congress. A big, overgrown baby is the general verdict of those who have watched his career here. In appearances he is a rather remarkable man. He is considerably more than six feet in height, and big In proportion to his length. His'glistcning white head, surrounded in its baldrecs by a fringe of black hair, looms above everything in the retiring band of pltiicts. Unbappy the lot of the man who comes to Congress with a reputation which be is unable to sustain in the hand to hand fight which hs there encounters, A man who gees out really regretted by friend and foe is Horr, of Michigan. His career has been a remarkable one. A busy, buttling eoit of ffcllow, who has never had tin e to study the graces of oratory, ha i3 aa lull of-kctn mother wit as any fallow that tas graced the halls cf Congress for a long time, unless it be Mr. Reed, of Maine He has proven himself a ically able stadent of national questions, a ready debater, keen in repartee, and an excellent story-teller in private life. He and Reed and 'Dunham, sorxetimcs Bayno and Cannon, have a habit cf getting together in a little knot on the ficor of the House, after the session, to comment upon the day's work, tt 11 stories and chat about whatever may come t3 their mind?. It is a merry party, but it will sadly miss Horr's smiling face and fat, pudgy figure, and sparkling witticism, when it comes together again next winter. A man who goes out of the Senate with a great deal more of genuine respect and honor than he even had when he came to it is Senator Pendleton. Hooted at and derided fcr his civil service idea3, h9 has taken this for his particular theme in Congress, realizing that true sncce33 comes from concentration upon one or more important subjects, rather than an attempt to be brilliant in everything. And by this coursa he ha3 EX SirSATOi: KELLOUU. made a ?uccess greater than that of almost any x;oÄempc4aueou3 statesman. His civil tervice system will carry his name down to succeeding generations long after those who have hooted at it and him are forgotten. It ii whispered that Mr. Pendleton, if he does not go into the Cabinet, is pretty sure of a mission of the first-class at some of the foreign courts. Gceral Slocnm, of New'York, is another gentleman who retires without having entirely fulfilled the expections with which his "debut" was announced. He had been here before, too, so that it is perhaps not exactly prrper to speak of his coming on this occasion a3 a "debut," but rather as a reappearance. His only brilliant performance in this Congress has teen to thus far defeat the Grant Retirement bill because of his chagrin over the veto of the Fitz John Porter bill. Mr. Randall still hopes to get the Grant bill through, however, in spite of onpositlon. Slocum is rather a good-looking fellow, with a pretty gocd address, but aside from his two fights for Fitz John Torter and against Grant he seems to have accomplished little, although he had been in Congress for a couple of tcrmB before coming to this one. Mr. Ochiltree, the "only native Texan ever elected to Congress," i? another retreating figure. He has not disappointed anybody, for nobody expected anything cf him. What is to become of him after the protection of Congress is with drawn from his now sacred person, is bard to say. for Mr. Alexander still swear3 he will slice him up the day he ceases to be a member of Congress. How sad a fate for one so young and innccent. Mr. Belford, the red-headed roarer of the Rockies, goes too, after ten years continuous service. He is a quer character, but in more senses than one a "brilliant" one. If Belford would take advice and "look not upon the wine when it is red," would eliminate the color from his red face and nose, wear clothes of a fashionoble cut and a comfortable fit, and omit some cf his oddities, he would make one of the moat successfal men in public life, for he is as "sharp as tacks" and well read. But alas, there are too many "ifs." John D. White, the Irrepressible, al30 oes. He will resume the practice of law, probably, lor he htvi a fine legal training. He had at one time a thought of removing to Louisville and settling himself in the practice of law there. Of course there will be a good many men in as well as out of Congress who will rejoice when Mr. White takas his place in the throng of retiring statesmen, but there will be few among that 15' who are brighter, better raad, or gentler in private life than this same noisy and demonstrative member cf the House, who;e appsarance on the floor is alwrys greeted with a mental KTCan of anguish by a large majority of tho3e who witness it. And there is another of this c!as3, ''Richelieu" Robinson, of New York. Heaven rest him. There have been a good many worse men in Congress, but few who could make more noise when the tail cf the British lioa ai in sight Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, gives place to the man whom he succeeded, Mr.Eastia. Jonas has made a record as a political manager in the past year, and will not be long out of a job. There are plenty of nice positions in and out of this country, any one of which he would grace, Mr. Money, of Mississippi, who wanted to be Postmaster General, will perhaps rise to the surface again some time, though for what Earticnlar reason is pretty hard to say. If e has done anything to warrant it in his ten years in Congress it now escapes attention. Wcäbnrcf, of MinnctA, one o! ths bc:t workers in the House, it is whispered, may

'trap back to the Senate in a couple of yeus

o st cceed Mr. McMillan. He muht have -id in the House as long as he liked; in-'-d. be remained as "long as he liked." for it was enly after the most vigorous and psi-tiv-ielcfal cf a renomination that his du tr et named a successor to occupy the seat he has so long held. And there are Eaton, and Finerty, and Williams, and Culbertscn, and Morse, and Brcadhead, and Lapham. aad Potter, and Keifer, and Hurd, and Converse, and Poland ard dozens of otters deserving of ment;cn. But time and space forbid. &.nd perhaps there are things to say about them that 9, tte better not said. CHICAGO. i X Full Resume of the Recent Election Frauds Trial. A Statement of the Case Jade Iilodget, the Defendant?, Their Attorneys, the Result, Etc. Chicago, Feb. 27. The trial in the District Court is ended and the verdict rendered. "Guilty" ha3 been written against the names of Joseph C. Mackin, William J. Gallagher and Arthur Gleason, three of the defendants in the election fraud conspiracy case, and ii&shed across the continent and over the seas. The jury have retired to their peaceful homes; the defendants are out of custody on heavy bail, and the public await the decision cf Judge Blodget on the motion of Thompson, Gallagher's attorney, for a new trial. The story has been roosated, till repetition may seem vain, but I will venture: A few days following the last Presidential election the community wa3 startle! by a report that a stupendous fraud had bean commit'ed, that a forgery had been perpetrated end spurious tickets tabstitutei for the original ones in the rrturns ar.d ballots of tbe Second Voting Precinct cf the Eighteenth Ward of Chicago. Tne rumor was on tverybcdj?s lips. If it were trae, waere was tte bcar.ed liberty end pretecUon of t-e ballot? Men who had canva:ed the political situation and conned the qualifications cf the nominees to tbe various positions to bs voted fcr, had partisan, personal and les3 pelfish reasons for casting the Laliot3 they did. Whatever their decision, whichever party was their choice, whether they voted straight or net, the man and the vote was legally and rightfully unified, and the responsibiliiy mted alcne with tbn voter. But here corn-is the rumor of a fraud, the discovery of evidence pertaining to it, and the papers to take it up. Citizens and politicians gather here and there and discusi the po33ibiiiL7 cf such a thing pro and con. The party org ins wax warm over the allegsa discrepancies, until finally the unprejudiced and patriotic citizens, men and women, regardless of party preferences, asserted in no unmeaning terms that If the alleged thing were true the perpetrators must be discovered, be th?y friend or foe, punished to the extent of the law and the honor of Chicago vindicated. In due course of time a citizens' committee composed of eighty men equally from the Republican and Democratic parties, formed an organized body for the purpo33 of ferreting out the scheme, if scheme it be, and raised $15,0C0 for the purpose. Step by steo the work went on, little by little the evidence accumulated, and every shade of information was followed until its reliability was established cr exploded and the foundation for personal beliefs even W3re canvasFed and sized to the bottom. District Atterney Tuthill secured evidence sufficient to file an information in the United States District Court against Mackin, Gallagher, Gleason and Beihl, charging them with haviDg planned and executed the fraud. Thes9 charges include the altering of tho certificates made by the Judges of Election in the Second Precinct of the Eighteenth Ward that it was made to appear that Rudolf Brand had received 471 votes for Senator for the Sixth Senatorial District of Illino's, and Henry W. Leman 220 votes for such office, and wten the fraud was exmsed it was found that Leman had received 120 votesand Brand only 274. The charge alf-o alleged the removal of the tickets from an envelope containing the ballots voted in the Second Frecinct of the Eighteenth Ward and substituting 230 others (false ones) in their place, wfcich were made to look line the regalar ticket voted with tho exception of Braad'a e am es candidate for State Senator ia the place of Leman's. The prosecution wai bated npon the ground of a conspiracy on the part cf the four defendants, by which they committed a crime agtinst tbe United Slates election laws. It seemed a debatable point with many, because the defendants were tried upon an irformetion alcne; bu: Judge Blodget, in his charge to the jury, explained ilia "matter a3 follows: "The law authorize, in this class of offense, the District Attorney to file an information, and the defendants are as correctly put upon trial upon the charges in that information as though tbey were cn trial oa an indictment presented through the medium of the erand jury." It was also discussed that affidavits secured on information and belief was not a legally proper way to bring it before this court. Udou this point Judge Blodget said: "Inat the only function or force cf that affidavit was to guide the mind of the Court upon th.9 question of whether the case was sufficiently grave to authorize the order and issue of a tench warrant, and direct the amount of bail which ehould ba indexed upon that warrant to be given by the defendants, so that the question whether this cas8 was properly brought before you is not a matter for your consideration at all. It is a matter of law. solely for the Court" There seemed to be various opinions a3 regards the prosecution on a charge of conspiracy, but you will find in th9 Revised Statutes of the United States, Section 5,110, the following: "If two or more persons consoire either to commit any offenss against the United States, or to defraud the Umited States in any manner, or for any purpose, and one or more of such parties do any act J to eiiect the object of the conspiracy, alt tne parties to euch conspiracy shall bs liable to a penalty." In the Judge's coarse, he aild, in substance, that if acts were committed whereby such objects as were included in a censpiracy, were accomplished, that it wai as complete as a crime, and the penalty must as surely follow. The law also teaches that a violation of any duty pertaining to the performance of the provisions of the United States election laws is also an orTense and punishable, and if any perfon interfere with another who has such duties to perform, it is also an offense, as is the destroying, tampering or forging the records or documents pertaining to the result ot elections deposited in public offices. The law cf Illinois requires that the County Clerk and his deput:e3 shall safely keep the poll-books. tally-sheet3 and ballots given to him by the Judje3 cf Election, and it i3 their duty to see that they are kept from the possibility of being stolen or otherwise changed. In the evidence that was brought out by the prosecution it was shown-that the returns were altered, and the fact discovered at the time cf tbe canvass by the Cjuaty Canvassing Board. The District Court was then in session and the matter was brought before the Grand Jorv.and aiubpcna was issued for the County Clerk, M.W. Ryan, to lay returns, poll-books, tally-sheets and ballots of the Second Precinct of the Eighteenth Ward, before the Grand Jury, but tne same day, November 21, between 2 and 3 in the afteemoon, defendant, Mackin, engaged S. B. Wright, of P. L. Hanacom's Printing Company's office, to print a ticket like the regular Republican ticket used in the election, with the exception of the name of the nominee for Senator, which was dona, aad 2 OOO of theaa delivered to Mackin between 9 and 10 thit night.

Sullivan, Charles Edward N. Simor.s and Geor3 1. L'.trrun testified that there were tickets x rinted on November 3. and circulated on the -1th, but the testimony was ot such a chapter that th connected part showed almc. conclusively that it was a made-up story; The next day following Sullivan was arrestü for perjury, and cn Tuesday, February 17, he gave a new testimony and added an ex .Hing feature to the trial by acknowledging under another oath that he had before swevn to a lis or a succession of lies, and ihatt he knew nothing cf the atlair, did no e7en know Mackin until since the trial opened, whom he said had paid him almost $ I I t his testimony with the promise of more and a position In the Government Printing- 02ice at Washington. He eaid he made, this confession on his own responsibility without p8y or reward or promise of any kad. Sullivan, Gilmore, Simons, Litnan and T. F. O'Brien, tho go between who i;itrodac3d Sullivan to Mackin, were arrested as havin? sworn to rank perjury. Mackin claimed that tbe perjured testimony came to him accidentally, but in the evidence it wa? shown that Sullivan and. Litman visited the defendant, Mackiii's room, at tte Talmer Hou:e. and had been famished by him with Earuples of the ticket thsy were to swear was printed by Eullivau in hitman's printing rcoms. Litmaa gave biil, the rcst were placed in custody, In the evidence there was ehov.n to be an unknown pa:ty, and a man by tbo name of Michael buliivan was one o the clerfcs of election in thi3 precinct, who went away shortly after the election. Soma proof tend ?d to show that the altered toll-bcok i3 part of it in the handwriting of this man, and fro this feet, Gallagher's friends claim that the forgery was dene by him, and he lr;3 left the country to avoid the punishment. Gallagher waa known to be an experl eleoticn omcial, and the intimate friend of Mackin. and when It became evident to the "toss cf the machine gang" of tie city and county that mere and finer work still rerraiced to be done, It would be natural to suppose that the mostintimato friend would be selected rather than a stranger, end we are tn sappore that the jury reasoned thus also. Wednesday morning, February IS, the argument? were opened for the prosecution b7 General Hawley, after the counsel for both sides had retired fcr fifteen minutes, fcr ths purpose cf deciding upon a plan of procedure. He occupied the remainder of the day. Thursday morning, Frank D. Turner urged his plea in behalf cf Mackin, char.'ing politicftl persecution. He was followed by H.W. Thorr sen, coucsel for Gallagher, who made it a point that no conspiracy had bean proven. About 3 o'clock Judge Tarpie, of Indiana, began his address to the jury, and reviewed the evidence offered by the prosecution, creating much merriment by his sarcasm and wit, and referring to the t32timoay on the handwriting as the wonderful rroof to be established by the "doiiets.cver tie i'e." Friday morning General Stiles hgan his addreas for the prosecution, scorin,; Mackm most unmercifully, and complimenting G lllaghfrcnhis tnore fortunate make-up as a gent! - nran, but said that the two were corner d through each phase of the trial. They wer- together when the subpna was servad cn Ryun and when Mackin was brought before a Justice of the Peace; th6y were enprged in the same business; thoy were boon companions; and while Mackin wa3 tho greater schemer, they were both guilty. Mr. Grcsscup followed in behalf of Gleison, claiming that his client's act was oae of necessity, not of criminal intent. Thit he had aged parents, a wife and sieter dependent upon h:m. "And," said he, "drive the chariot üf justice as fast as you niiy, but ses that its wheels crush not the innossnt as well as the guilty." Alderman Young claimed that no shalow of guilt rested npon Beihl. In the afteraeon Leonard Swett spoka for Glenoa, which speech seemed to have more eilest than Grosscup's. At 3 p. m. District Attorney Tathill began a loug argument, which occupied the remainder of the afternoon aad a few minutes Saturday morning. It was exhaustive and comprehensive. At 10: 15 Judge Bledget began the charge to the jury, which retired at 11:50, remaining out until 5:25 p. m. During the intervening hours ladies and gentlemen vaited in the courtroom for the final scene. A packed room greeted the returning jurors. Mackin, Gallagher and Bsihl were seated near your correspondent. Mackin wes calm but pale. He watched with a canning Intensity each juror as they ascended the tench. Gallagher wore the same expression which ha3 characterized him through tbe trial, and other tfcan a prolougai loos and a slight falling cf the under lip, nothingindicated that it was more than a moarit of ordinary interest.

H'3 every movement and look betrayed ihs nervousness he was endeavoring to cooca'. When the clerk of the court read tbe verdict cf guilty for Mackin, Gallagher and Gleason, and the consciousness of his acquittal came to him, a shiver passed over his frame and the next moment a rush of tears were brushed quickly away. The revulsion from sntnanse to certainty was so sudden that pent up nature gave way. A young wife acd babe and the thought of an unfavorable verdict had nearly unmanned him, Gleason was not present. Mackin and Gallagher did not change expression nor position; and bail for them was fixed by Judee Blodget at $20,000 each, and Glsoniat?UV00. Next Tuesday is the time fixed to disposa
