The Weekly Pantagraph from Bloomington, Illinois • 3

0 CITY. AND COUNTY. Pantagraph. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1870. Judge Merriman and County Clerk Straight will be released from jail -that is, from the old jail.

The list of delinquent taxes due on McLean county real estate will be published in our next week's issue. It will be a statement worth preserving, by everytody. Two prisoners were taken from the county jail to the penitentiary yesterday. Their names are John Gibbons and Geo. Dunlap, and their respective terms are three and five years.

A subscriber to the P'ANTAGRAPH at Leroy writes to us to change his paper to Saybrook, but does not tell us his name. Let us know the pame. Fruit Grower" is the name of monthly journal published by E. Rumley, of Gilman, Ill. It's object is denoted by its name.

It is a creditable paper, and has a wide circulation among the fruit growers of the West. The election for township officers, yesterday, passed off' quietly. Up to the hour of going to press, not enough votes had been counted to indicate the result, which will probably not be known before to-Inorrow morning. The Logan County Teachers' Institute was in session at Atlanta nearly all of last week. The exercises were of the inost interesting character and the attendance was large.

President Edwards, of Normal University, closed the exercises with a lecture. Superintendent Hull commenced his second tern nt the Teachers' Examination yesterday at the court room. About 25 candidates for certificates were in attendance. The examA inations will conclude to-day. At the previous term about 80 were present, which, added to the present number, shows over 100 who wish "to teach the young idea how to shoot." The 4O1 Jail," which for SO many years has defied the elements and stood as a monument of historic interest in the public square, was yesterday sold at auction to James Goodheart for the sum of $201.

It is to be taken away within thirty days. The public offices therein will be removed to the new court house to-day. The new German Turner Society organized one evening last week at the Western depot. Place of meeting, J. M.

Augersback's building. Officers for ensuing year selected as follows: H. Gephard, President; John Weichlin, Vice President; F. Behr, Secretary M. Hausen, Treasurer.

They now have something over thirty members. Regular meeting the first third Monday evenings of each month. Mr. Percy, living near the town of Benjaminville, brought into the city, on Saturday, something over 100 ducks and brants. The shooting grounds are located near the county line of McLean and Ford counties.

Owing to lands in that vicinity being covered with water the shooting is all wing. He reports that almost all the geese have gone for this season. The Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue of this district advertises that appeals from erroneous or excessive assessments will be received and determined at his office in Springfield from April 18th to 23d. We would remind our friends that income returns should be made at once, else a penalty will be incurred that isn't very pleasant. Contracts for building are being closed daily for the erection of buildings during the coming season.

We hear of one man who already has contracted to lay in the walls six hundred thousand brick, and has other proposals not yet acted upon. This informatiou certainly is encouraging to the laboring classes, as this is an evidence that the services of all will be called into requisition at an early day. The following is the result of tho election of members of the Board of Education in this city on Monday last T. F. 840 J.

W. 670 A. Wag 491 The election passed off very quietly something over one thousand voles being cast. Dr. Samuel Witherspoon (colored) floated in and plucked the first fruits eminating from the XVth amendment, by casting the first vote ever cast in this city by a colored man.

The following item was mislaid on Sa' urday, but has lost nothing by keeping The friends of Mrs. E. D. Wilkin, of Normal, wishing to surprise her ou "All-Fools' day," sent a bag Containing a handsome China tea set and silver cutlery te the door of the parsonage on Thursday evening, not noticing, till too late, that somebody's almanae was wrong--terribly reversing the joke. A few days before, Mr.

Wilkin was presented with a fine set of the "American Cyclopedia," the young people of his church being the donors. The citizens will remember the youth known as Crabb Penn, the youth who acted as ensign in the Germania Africana parade on Friday of last week. He has come to grief! For some time past his mind has been aflected, and, at times, it was hard for him to distinguish his wearing apparel from that of his friends, On Friday, while suffering under one of these spasmodic attacks, he walked away with a cap and a pair of boots belonging to Lee Cheney. Crabb was arrested and lodged in the City Hotel. He has for some Limo kept the company of a party of juveniles, who, if not attended to, can soon answer roll cull with their friend Crabb at the Hotel de Bull in the alley.

Thomas McNulta, and Clinton R. Mitchell, were, OIL Wednesday of last week, admitted to the Bar as practicing attorneys. The examining committee consisted of Mesar9. Weldon, Williams, and Pa kard. The examination was rigid and complicated, yet both gave evidences of having vigorously prosecuted their search for the fundamental rules upon which our laws are established, and passed the examination with high honors.

Mr MeNulta is a fine scholar, having grad nated at the head of his class. We wish them success. The following dispatch was received at this flice last Friday evening ST. LoUIS, April 1, 1870. DR.

E. RoE: Who is Rev. Frank Whitcomb? Would he put in a bill for lost baggage if it was not correct? Answer quick. W. HI.

STENNETT. An answer in the affirmative was returned. Would it not be well for those who cared for Rev. Whiteomb so kindly during his severe illness in this city, some time ago, to purchase their presents now, as the reverend gentleman is drifting this way and will expect kind tentions? Last Thursday a gentleman left at chis office a paper box addressed to E. R.

Rye, editor the PANTAGRAPIL. The editor was absent at the time, an as the stranger who left box gave 10 information as to its contents, the employes of the office were taking servatioss through an aperture in the of the box. At this moment the editor in his appearance. In his usual fearless manner, he raised the lid partially open thrust his hand into the box, and drew forth a majestic bird, black as inky darkness, the mystery remained unsolved. True, it either a Crow or Raven, but the knowledge this fact that it was a member of the feathery tribe was not all.

There was a card attached to the bird ou which was written Amendment." This explained all. Crow or Raven was emblematic of the ored race, who, by virtue of the XVth amendment, are entitled to citizenship. Mr. will keep this messenger of darkness subject to the order of the editor of the Democrat. Col.

Morgan, Chief Engineer of L. B. M. Railway, returned home Saturday night, having completed the location of this railway to the Indiana line. We understand that found the route a very favorable one to building of the road.

He has completed profile of the line, and he has his ready for the inspection of persons may desire to bid for the work of grading and building. Col. Morgan found the ple living along the route from Paxton, greatly elated at the prospect of the speedy completion of the road.

Professor Powell has deposited temporarily in the Museum of the Illinois Natural History Society, at Normal, specimens of ever five hundred mammals gathered during his Rocky Mountain and Colorado expeditions. Among these are four grizzly bears, several antelope, deer, prairie dogs, and numerous other animals.

An experienced taxidermist will set up and properly mount these specimens, in a "The colored troops fought nobly," and they voted nobly, too, on yesterday. We do not know the exact number who exercised the citizens' privilege in this city. One hardshelled old gentleman, who visited the polls and saw his African brethren voting without hindrance, refrained from voting, and in despair wandered into a lawyer's office. Here he confidentially whispered to the lawyerWhy, the niggers are voting over there." was the reply, "Isn't that all Perhaps so," said he, but I shall never, never vote again." A well known Democrat was very active 111 trying to secure the results of the Fiteenth amendment, by inducing the newly made voters to support hix candidate. At Normal, also, the colored men voted freely.

Not Palatable, 46 The Rubicon is Passed." Some correspondent of the Peoria Democoat, from this city, of date of March 28th, under the title of P'. Sojourner, speaks this city in anything but complimentary terms. He says, in substance, there was more Jusiness done in Peoria on one street than in all Bloomington; that we have but one manufactory we bave no smoke stacks; no whirl of machirery to be heard; that the Sabbath is not observed, the side-walks and streets are miserable, Now, this is good, sweet talk for some dead beat" to write. This P. Sojourner was undoubtedly, during his two weeks' stay in our city, a Prison Sojourner, judging from the manner in which he censures the city government.

He says people here in Bloomington cannot even get a drink Sundays--in other words the saloons are not kept open here on Sunday like they are in Peoria. He speaks, probably, from knowledge in regard to the miserable condition of the streets, as one would judge, from the tenor of his letter, that he was in a poor condition to keep the, walk. Having been reared under the shadows of those smoke stacks which stand as death sentinels along the river of his boasted Peoria, witneseng the distributin of its 4a eighty rod" peison going out among its people; this he would call business. He judges business from an 66 Oshkosh point of view anything to make levity among the boys. Now, the facts are simply these Peoria is becoming iealous of Bloomington; its rapid growth and the energy of its people is attracting capital, and Peoria does not like to see them locate here.

We doubt if P. Sojourner's name appears opOD the register of either of our hotels, as man who is capable of writing so many blunders in se short a letter would not wait for an introduction to tackle a lunch. New Orleans Fair. We would call the attention of every one interested to the Fourth Grand State Fair, given by the Mechanics and Agricultural Fair Association of Louisiana, to be held in New Orleans, commencing on Saturday, April 23d, 1870, and continuing nine davs. This will afford those engaged in the traffic or manufacture of agricultural implements splendid opportunity of advertising, and at the san.e time afford ample means for more intimate acquaintance with our Southern brethren, thereby opening up traftic in the various channels that have for some years past remained stagnant.

To those of our citizens who are in any way interested in Agricultural Implements, and mechanics of every branch of trade, we would urge you to go aud make some exhibition of your industrial pursuits. The premiums are large and offered to almost every branch of trade. Arrangements have been perfected whereby tickets can be secured via I. C. R.

at one and one fifth the usual rates for the round trip--all articles of exhibition to and from New Orleans carried free. Mr. Hawley is already there with his Evaporator. There are certainly a large number of our cittzens who would favor the formation of an Excursion party, and besides visiting the fair, spend a few weeks in the pleasant climate of Louisiana. Tickets good for thirty days.

Now, who will be first to'take this matter in hands Organize an excursion party and represent Bloominzton at this fair. For full particulars we would refer you to F. K. Phoenix, Kersey H. Fell or Win.

Perry, No. 4 Liberty Block. They have printed pamphlets containing list prizes, railroad communications, rules and regulations, 'The B. W. We had the pleasure of meeting at Urbana, a few days since, several of the general officels of this road, and inspecting with them some of the improvements now in progress ur der their supervision.

That portion of the line now in operation, viz: from Leroy to Danville, is already, even in the present dull season, doing an excellent business, much better than one expected from the local traffic between thoge points. At Urbana the company have erected a first rate round for their locomotives with the necessary switches They are about erecting a splendid large hotel in the grove north of Urbana. It is A basement and three stories above, with a Mansard roof, making altogher five stories. The first florr will be used for the oflices of the Company, and the rest as a hotel. We Were shown several new passenger coaches, not yet in use, but which will be employed when the road is opened to Bloomington.

They exceed, in both exterior and interior finish and gorgeous decorations, anything we have seen. Several of them have the Miller patent automatic coupling. Everything upon the line, from the locomotives down to the smallest spike, is entirely new, and of the best. Among the officers whem we had the pleastire of meeting there, were Thos. King, Chief Engineer; H.

C. Diehl, Gen. Freight Agent; Mr. Oliver, Gen. Superintendent; Mr.

Otis. Master Mechanic Mr. Warren, Superintendof Repairs, and others, whose names have escaped The track is now laid from Leroy to within about four miles of Bloomington, and with present prospects of fair weather, will reach here on the first of May. The indications are that this road will have much greater amount of traffic than was anticipated by its originators, and that it will become one of the great trunk lines of the West. PROMENADE EXTRAORDINARY.

Dr. Schroder Parades the Streets of Bloomington with Negro Woman, Martial Music. Crabb Penn with American flag. Dr. Schroder and Miss Ham.

Citizens and Small Boys. After the reception of the news of the passage of the Fifteenth amendment, we wrote An article in regard thereto, and wound np with the inquiry, Where is Dr. Schroder and Dinah We are now prepared to furnish an answer, for since making the inquiry we have seen them. Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a large crowd gathered upon the walks in the immediate vicinity of Minerva Block, and extending as far south on Main street as the Post Office, to witness the parade of Dr. Schroder and the colored lady." Some doubts were expressed among the crowd as to whether the doctor would attempt the task.

A band, consisting of fite, tenor and bass drum, made its appearance and took up a position immediately in front of the doctor's "up town" residence. He soon made his appearance upon the walk accompanied by a daughter of Ham, whose color certainly entitled her to all the benefits arising out of the 15th amendment. The procession was then formed in the following order Everything being in readiness the command of forward march was given by Mr. Wm. Van Seboick, who was instrumental in getting up the show.

Miss Ham took the arm of the Doctor and the procession moved forward down Main to Front, west on Front to Center, north on Center to North, east on North to Main, then south on Main street to his residence. The sidewalks along the route were crowded, yet in every instance the people gave way and allowed ample room for them to pass. This unique performance was received by some as a good joke on the Dector, others condemned. The doctor made a few remarks after the parade was ended. The lady who condescended to make the promenade, only consented after numerous solicitations.

Dr. Schroder tells us that long Ago he promised that whenever the negroes were granted the right to vote, he would promenade the streets of Bloomingten with a negro woman and a band of music, to show that there should be no. distinction on account of color; that the time had come for him to fulfil his promise and be fulfilled it. FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Grand Celebration.

R. BLUE, WELLS. W. WATSON, J. PHILLIPS, H.

MARLY, A public mass-meeting of the colored citizens of Bloomington was held in the a. M. E. Church on Monday evening for the parpose of making arrangements for a public demonstration of the Fifteenth amendment. The meeting was culled to order, and R.

Holley was appointed Chairman, and W. T. Hill Secretary, after which the Chairman stated the object of the meeting. Lu conclusion there was a committee of' ire appurted to prepare a preamble and resolutions ex. pressing the gratitude they feel toward the men aud party who have been instrumental in bringing about this grand achievement.

Committee. While the committee was preparing a report there were several speeches made by prominent citizens. The committee reterned and reported as follows: Your committee beg leave to submit the following report that-WHEREAS, we, as people of color, deeply feel the embarrassing ciacumstances under which we have for 80 long been compelled, and are still compelled, to toil; feeling, as we do, that our condition as a people cau best be elevated by such a change in the constitution and laws of our country as shall guarantee equal rights before the law; and as the State Constitu ional Convention, now in session in this State, have adopted the Fifteenth amendment, which gives to every man 21 years of age, without regard to color or condition of servitude, his equal and political rights; therefore, be it Resolved, That we express, in some appropriate manner, our sincere thanks and esteem for the wen and party who were the means of carrying the Fifteenth amendment into effect in the United States, and that we have a public demonstration, and that there will be appropriate speeches made ou the occasion, with vocal and instrumental music. Resolved, That our proceedings be published in all the Republican papers in Bloomington. It was concluded to hold a celebration at Schroder's Opera House ou this (Wednesday) evening, April 6th.

The exercises will consist of realing the declaration of independence, music, speeches, songs and the appropriate ceremonies. Twenty-nine guns will also be fired in honor of the event. All are invited to attend this demonstration. Forrest. Those who have seen Forrest in years: past, Shakspeare.

City Treasurer's Report. To the Honorable City Council of the city of and witnessed his historic personations long ago in the East, may think that age has dimmed the lustre of his eye, or marred the purity and strength of his voice. This is not so. Every one who listened to his rendition of Jack Cade last night, and followed him through the deep troubles of his outcast and troubled life; who recognized the intrinsic majesty of that character, will say, with us, that time has only improved and heightened the glowing truthfulness of his represeutations. A large audience were present, and gave frequent evidence of their recognition of the master spirit of the stage.

The company, as a whole, are greatly superior to the mass of theatrical performers who so poorly oceupy the Western stage. High encomiums were expressed of Miss Lillie, as 66 Mariamne," and Mr. Harris, as "Clifford." The people of Bloomington will to-night have probably the last opportunity ever to occur, when they may witness such acting as will be presented in the great Shakspearian drama of King Lear. All should see it, not merely as they would look at an ordinary theatrical performance, but because the greatest actor of America will appear in one of the greatest plays of the greatest of all authors- Bloomington: The following is a summary of all the moneys received into the City Treasury, and sources from which they have been derived; also the disbursements, and on what account, for the month of March, 1870, and balance on hand April 1, 1870: DR.

Respectfully submitted. From a private letter just received from Levi Dillon, of Normal, now in Rowen, France, March 17, we are permitted to make the following extracts: are stopping now in the city of Rouen, sitnated in the heart of Normandy.

Grack Washburn in traveling with us. He speaks French very well. We are having A good time. The city of Rouen is an old city. We seC buildings that have been built over 1,000 years.

This was the home of the renowned Joan of Are. The city in situated in the valley, on the river Seine, surrounded by high mountains, and has a population of 100,000. The Seine is a beautiful river, navigable for large vessels. The roads in this country are all macadamized. They never know what bad roads are here.

We have looked at quite a number of horses, but 8 id it difficult to get a horse that all right. When we come to examine them closely, there in goncrally something wrong with them, and when we tired a horse that is right he is not for sale, and if we get him we have to come down with the gold. The French people know what a good horse is a8 well as anybody, and they are the hardest horsemasters in the world. It is astonishing what the Norman horses endure here. We have bought two noble auimals.

full-blooded Normans. One of them will weigh 1,900, and the other both dapple grays, five years old. They are the largest horses we have seen In England or France. If we get them home safe, I think we will have two or the largest horses ever imported to the United States. We are not done buying yet will probably get two more, if we can get them all right.

I am taxing my eyes pretty heavy. If they do not give out, I will see something before I leave France. The French can use up more language than any people Lever saw. We have to call Washburn to our assistance on every corner. Our Ianguage seems to astonish the natives, but they fake it all in good part, and try hard to make us understand them.

We have wine In everything. Wine for dinner, breakfast and supper, and it is much cheaper than water. Cirenit Court. Montier ya. Darst.

Judgment in favor of plaintiff for $148.15 damages. Motion for new trial. Crigler vs. Shorthose. This suit was brought on note, defendant claiming said note had been paid.

The jury found a verdict for plaintiff for 9210 and interest for thirteen years, making total amount of judgment $495.30. Wm. Van Schoick v8. Packard Thomas. This suit grew out of the mode of measuring brickwork in the wall.

Judgment in favor of plaintiff. H. G. Brown Wa Hursey. Judgment In favor of defendant, County Court.

March 30. Trustees of town of Pontiac vs. Neifing Steinbach. This case arises out of an alleged violation of a corporation ordinance made under the authority of what is called "The Princeton Chartor, now in force in Pontiac. It In alleged that one M.

S. Robinson, the late corporation attorney of Pontiac, did fraudulently and withont authority compromise a certain fine assessed against defendants by receiving a less amount than the fine so assessed, and stipulating that the preceed inga should be dismissed. It appears also that said Robinson has since departed from the State without paying the stipulated amount into the treasury. Several attorneys from Pontiac were present and argued the case, which, after decision in this court, will probably reach the Supreme Court, that the validity of the Princeton Charter" may be decided. This case was closed last evening and judgment withheld.

The people vs. John Roberts. Charge: and petit larceny. The charge of grand larceny was withdrawn, and the prisoner plead guilty to petit larceny, Ber. MoSWOrD in regard to the of the prisoner.

Mr. Willian had remaria to make to the court, sad being absent the sentence was suspended until this mornin Montier v8. John Darst and others. This case comes from county on change of venue. A jury was empannelled, but no evidence beard.

This case will receive attention this morning. March 31. John Montier vs. John Darst and others. This suit was brought by Montier, to recover damages from John Darst and others, for forcibly taking possession of some beer and whisky, in Montier's saloou, at the town of Eureka, in Woodford county.

The case by change of venue was removed 50 this county. It appears from the testimony that Montier came from Washington, Illinois, to Eureka, for the purpose of establishing an eatinghouse in that place, and sell beer, the timeor starting in business, some citizens notified Moutier that there was an ordinance against the trafte of beer or whisky, aud wanted him to desist, and not heeding the warning, the Marshal, with some police, came and took charge of the liquors, and and locked Montier up in the calaboose. In order to get possession of the liquors, doors were broken open. The case was argued at length by the attorneys, and given to the jury. John Roberts, charged with petit larceny, was brought into Court to receive sentence.

The Judge fixed the penalty at ten days in the County Jail. Case of H. Y. Brown vs. Wm.

No one in that office saw it before it was introduced, or was consulted in its preparation. The House bill leaves the army the same size as it is now, but Wilson's cuta it down seven thousand men, fixing it at twenty-five thousand after next September. The House bill reduces the pay of all officers from Brigadier General up, and increases the pay of all but chaplains below, and Wilson's bill- does the same thing.

Chicago calls loudly for a reduction of the rates of freight by rail along the lines west of her. Speaking of the resumption of navigaLion the Chicago Post says: The event is of importance, generally, too; because one of the first effects of the opening of navigation on the Mississippi river is to reduce the tariffs on all the railways running westward from Chicago. The opening of navigation on the lakes, soon to follow, is accompanied by the like reduction on the roads rauning eastward from Chicago, and the eff ct of ail is greatly to revive business, of cour e. It may he well enough to this connection, to correct an error into which a morning cote feil the other day, when it spoke of the secrease of business on the navigable rivets of the West since the construction of our great system of railways. The tact is the other way, There is very much more business on these rivers now than before the railway era, and there are many more steamboats, of immensely more tonnage, on the Mississippi now than there ever were before.

The truth is, the most remarkable fact counected with the construction of our immense railroad system is, that it has 50 greatly increased all kinds of business, the carrying trade, both passengers and freight, by river steambeats inclusive. The bili fixing a uniform time for holding elections for Members of Congrese in all the States, has just passed the House by a twothirds vote, the day fixed being the Tuesday after the firs.

Review of Bloomington Markets. As has been usual for severa' weeks, we have to report had a centinued dullness in trade and trafe. We heard our neighbors and the farmers speak of the roads as being in an awful condition, and aseribed it to the usual custom of the country people, in th spring, of speaking of "such awful roads as we do have." But on Saturday we took a horseback ride of about Ave miles, out to the end of the track of the B. W. railway.

We have lived in McLean county near a score of years, and bare experienced the bottomless condition of roads many times, but never in that whole period have we seen such terrible streaks of never-ending mud as we then witnessed. Talk about bringing produce to town. Nonsense! Since that time, however, we have had bright, sunny, spring weather, and the mud has dried away with great rapiuity. Ouly day or two more efvuch weather, and trade, as well as farm work, will begin with great vigor. There is no differeuce in the grain markets since our last report, except in corn, which has advanced to 55c.

Stock of all kinds is unchauged in price, dressed hogs being worth cate $5 g6, and sheep $5 per ewt. Hides are lower. We saw a few loads of hay on the streets yesterday, which were selling at per ton. Butter comes in rather more freely, and of' better quality, during the last day or two. Pricey are the same as last ween.

Eggs are more plenty, and quoted at 15c. Poultry Is unchanged, live chickens rating at 22.50 3 per dressed at 100124e per 1b turkeys at a per and ducks and geese at per lb. Groceries of all kinds are quiet at the decline noticed last week Dry goods are without material decline in price, the stationary position or gold controlling the market. Hardware, agrienltural implements, and staple aaticles other branches of trade, are without change in price. We hope another week will show increased activity in all kinds of business.

A change has been made in the market davs in New York to Mondays and Fridays, while the dave fixed on at Albany are Mondas8 and Tuesdays. In order to meet these alterations, buyers have also changed the days of purchasing here.

The demand for city butchers was rather light, but the quality was about equal to that of' the week previous. Mich Cows have been in fair supply, but there is no material change in values.

16,732 14,502 The supply of Hogs during the week just closed www light, but owing to the demand being correspondingly so, there was no inconventence experienced, and prices have undergone no material change, although irregular and variable. Owing to the roads being in such bad condition. is attributable the smallness of the receipts, which, had they been of a more liberal character, a decline in values would doubtless have been inevitable, as the demand from the East Is only limited, Atthe close prices ranged from $8.250.9.25 for common to choice grades. To-day the market has heen fairly supplied, but trade has been more moderately active, though prices have declined 10(150 per 100 1b9, both on heavy and light Hogs.

BECKWITH. The Ladies' Sorosis Club, of New York, recently changed their discussions from woman's suffrage to hair preparations and pimple banishore. They declared where nature had not endowed them with beauty, it was their right- yea their duty to seek It where they could. So they all voted that Magnolia Balm overcame sallowness, rough skin and ring marks, and gave to the complexion a most distingue (Sorosian) and marble-like appearance (dangerous to men, no doubt); and that Kathairon maule the hair grow thick, soft and awful pretty, and moreover prevented it from turning gray. If the proprietors of these articles did not send the sisters an involce, they are not smart.
