TIIE DAILY EVENING TKLEGllAPII. Pffl'tjAf)iLPiriAt MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1866. THE TICKET QUESTION. CoKTINFNTAl, IIOTM., I'iM.RT'n News Ejchaho and Tickut Aorkot, November 24, 1906. 1 (he KHiUrr of The Evening- leUyraph t Gentlemen: The article which have recently appeared to tho dally papers of this city In 1 re ference to "speculating In tickets" for amuse ments, bo strongly indicated that I am the per son alluded to by the writer, as to induec me to lay before the public a tew facts concerning one portion of my business; and I am willing to roaVe such a statement concerning in y busi ness, iecling confident that no one, in thi9 city at least, could, even with tho knowledge thus given, become my siicce.-Fful rival. Among my many customers are the, loading gentlemen of this city, who, findin their time too valuable to warrant them going to the bos otllce of a theatre or concert-room, commission ine to seoure for them reserved seats. Again, the majority of these gentlemen are business men. They are aware that the box olficeaof the different place ot amusement open at 10 o'ctook A. M. and clo at 3 o'clock P. M., which, for a man ot business, is both too late in rbc morning and too early in the afternoon. With me. however, they can leave their orders for tickets as they pass down early to their stores; or, as they eo home in the evening, tbey can, up to halt-past 7 o'clock, obtain as choice a ticket as If they bad called in the morning. This, certainly, is an accommodation to business men, which they alone can appreciate. Finding that I have enterprise enough to secure lor them the best seats, they have always paid me a commission for the work performed. As this is an every-dav occurrence, I have the satisfaction of both pleasing my customers and putting money in my purse the true aim of every business man. In a hotel like this, there are always a large number of transient guests, who, from the facr that they are siraucvrs in the city, ask me in reference to the different places ot amuemcnt, and also desire the most eligible seats for the ditlerent entertainment-. It is almost unneeea swy for n e to add that I trlve them the advice irratis, and charge a fair premium for the choice tickets whirh my enterprise alone has secired for them. They are grut?ful for the accommo dation I am satisfied with the profit By this statemebt it is apparent to you and the public that I conduct my business iu a satis factory manner, both for my regular and tran sient customers, which, together with a desire to accumulate a fortune, is my only aim as a business man. Like other members of the business world, I transact business first lor my own benefit; but, in case of any overplus, I will onerouelv donate it to some benevolent object, i know that there are persons in this city and perhaps the writeis of the articles above alluded to arc among them who think I keep this stand merely for the sole accommodation of those who have nut time to purctiase their amusement tickets in the morning, or their f upcrs at the ditTorenl offices of public ition. n one sense I do an accommodating business, but I flatter myself that I make the accommo dation a mutual benefit as between John C. Kis (cy and the public. If 1 did not, I should find a news exchange and ticket agency as unprofitable as soliciting subscriptions for benevolent wbjects. l)o the proprietors publish their papers solely for the benefit ot the public ? If not, why not? If I should insist on paying them a dollar per line for an advertisement, would they not take, itf If the public should bo so desirous of read ing the newspapers as to be willing to pay ten instead of three cents per copy, would not the price of the paper be raised immediately upon the evidence of such an uraer.t public demand t Is not alt trade regulated by s.ipply and de mand? If you have an article tor sale you are generally willing to take all you can get lor it, etpeciaif; if your customer is satisfied to give you the price demanded. I do not solicit cus tom, because 1 find that custom seeks the most enterprising man. If parlies do not wish to pay me lor sei vices performed, I have no objection to their occirpv ing poor seats or standing-room tn any of our places ot amusement; that is their business, not mine. In conclusion, I would state that I shall have for sale a number of the !est seats for Histori's performances; but I shall not sell them lor the ame pnoc for which they can bo obtained on the evening of the performance. If, after these foregoing statements, any one should believe himself capable of starling a suc cessful business in opposition to myself, I iuvile his competition, and will allow him several years in which to prove his ability before I make proposals to bV hiin out. Thus, while I invite competition, I do not believe it could be succewlul. tceltns confident that my many Vatrons believe me to be all that I claim io be, The public's faithful servant, John C. Rislky. LETTER FROM BALTIMORE. Sequel to the Politico-Police Troubles Judges of the Late Election Claim of fjoyal Slave-Owners Against the Gov eminent LfgUlatlvcJCaucun, Etc. VIMKO TELEGRAPH SPECIAL CORRKBrONlWSSCE. Baltimore, November 25. It is asserted, upon what nitty be deemed reliable authority, thai Messrs. i'oung and Valliant, the new Police Ceminlt-sioncrs. and Slieritf Thompson, design bringing suit against Judee Bond, of the city Criminal Court, and the old Police Hoard, lor damages and false imprisonment. This case, when it comes up tor trial, will excito more Ihan ordinary interest. A variety of nice points ol law are involved, as well with regard to the powers of the police as to those of the judiciary. Whatever may be the political opinions of Judge Bond, enthusiastic as he is in workiner, heart and soul, lor what he conscientiously thinks right, no one doubts his houesty of pur pose. Ii he errs, it is from the head, not the heart. Socially, he is a gentleman in every sense of the word. That he nas been, and is, an uncompromising Union man, there is abundant evidences-. This is a fault only iu the eyes of those whose loyaltv is doubtful a thine which the Judge haa suflicient independence' to dis regard. One thing is certain, those who have been the true triends of our country those who battered :gainst treason, and tinally subdued it, would rather trust htm to-day than they would his enemies. The judges of the Tocent 6th of November elec tion are likely to gt into trouble. Some ot them have already been prosecuted for damages, because they refused the vote of certain parties whom they considered distoyal. One suit of this kind is now pending, and upon its final de cision may depend many others. If judges of the election are to be held responsible and mulcted with heavy damaees for an independent expression ol opinion, and conscientious render in? ot official judgment, then, indeed, is their position onorou and unprofitable. The case of Blscoe vs. the Juices of tho Nineteenth Ward, on trial for some dajs, before Justice Forrester. for $300, for refusing UjB vote, will be decided, on Tuesday. Thi Is to be made a test. The Government has rccutly appointed three new Comuiiu8ioner9 to ioru a, Board, winch will bold its sessions iu BalttiLore, to decide upon the claims of loyal slave-oiers In Maryland. Delaware, and West Virginia, w.0se slaves were enlisted In the United States aruii and who are entitled, according to the act of Congress, to ROCKHILL & WILSON, FINE CLOTUING HOUSE, ' Koa.603 and 605 CHESNUT St.,PhUa. foreign and Domestic Fabrics Madeto Order, Eeaionable, Serviceable and Fashionable, $300 for each slave. It is believed, however, that in consequence of the late political tXatun Assumed by our State and Delaware, Oongrtss may feel 1cm incl'neo to favor them, and there fore repeal the law, leaving it to these Common wealths, as well as Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia, to provide lor the payment of slave-owners out of their own State treasuries. There was a meeting of the city delegates elect to the ICsiebUure ou Saturday night last, at Governor Swanu's residence, in thh citv. It was entirely private; called for consultation, chiefly, in reference to railing an eitra session of the Legislature, and to conduit about ome oHic matters. The Governor made quite a long speech, in which he announced, positively, his opposition to the extra session. He believed there was no necessity lor It that if time wa too short at the regular session, he bad power to entend it. He fuither asserted there was really no inten tion of impeaching President Johnson; that It was all talk, gotten up bv trold eamolers, specu lators in stocks, and ambitious politicians. There is, however, a determination to revolu tionize the so-called radical s'atus of Baltimore, so as to turn out Mayor Cnapman, and secure a new election. The conservatives do not want to have this city against them. They are de sirous, also, of reorganizing the Courts, and of turning out Juee Bond, as well as all the olher Unconditional Union judges, clerks, and other judiciary officials. The course of lectures uow going on at the Pcabody Institute are attractine much atten tior, and promise to be very instructive. There is a perfect uror of excitement in refer ence to the advent of Ristorl. Every seat in Holliday Street Theatre has already been taken tor hi r entire engagement. Unless she plays a second cnjrngement,oue-half ol those anxious to see her will not have an opportunity. The weather is quite cold. We now have occasional slight sprinkles of snow. Business very dull, and somewhat of a panic in till branches of trade. "Bono." OBITUARY. Sir Wllllnm Parker, Admiral of the It oval .av- of Knglaud.

To-morrow evening has been set apart tor the celebration ol the twenty-fourth anniversary of the Mercan tile Beneficial Association of this city, an insti tution that embraces within its membership not only nearly every prominent merchunt of Phila delphia, but hundreds of young gentlemen who arc in their employ. The object of ttie society is such as to forcibly commend itself, especially to those who are in their noviciate in ousincss, with a reputation yet to establish and a fortune to make; and we earnestly suggest that every young man who intends in the future to devote himself to commercial pursuits, should take the earliest opportunity of becoming a member of the same.
