Ouf Chicago Letter.
Chicago, Nov. 12, 18T7.
A Bolemn effort is ritv making lb Wood
out tho Chicago bar, which is overrun with
shysters, jock-lawyers nnd disreputables of
an kinds, w Here a man is reguianv a mem
ber of the bar, it Is hard to net the Judces to
shut him out, for it isdiflicult to get proof of
.l:-l , mi T.-...
msiiuiii'sb i-uimuou jLiit'iu ure, uuwever, a
numuer ol jicopio rho never wero admitted
to nrnctice. nnd those, tho Bar Asiwintlnn
and tho courts are engaged in making war
upon, ino present otato law requires nil
admissions to tho bar to bo by the Supremo
Court, and its requirements are at present
quite rigid. As n class, these bogus lawyers
confine themselves to tho divorce business
and the Criminal Court, chiefly tho latter.
Their Bole object is to get all their clients
have, nnd then Boll them out j to take a con
veyance of the defendant's lands or chatties,
in order that they may not fall into tho
hands of the law, and then persist in hold
ing on to tliem no matter whether tho ac
cused arc convicted or acquitted, Not long
ago a man got into some trouble was charg
ed with receiving stolen goods. Ho called
in the aid of a lawyer, who advised him to
transfer his proiicrty to him. Ho did so
"Now," said tho lawyer, "do you plead guil
ty. I havo mado nn arrangement with tho
State's Attorney and Judge that you are to
bo let oil" with a month in jail." Ho plead
ed guilty, and much to his amazement, got
two years in State's Prison. " It is a mis
take," said tho lawyer : "tho Judge forgot
but that will be remedied before it is time
to go down." Tho man lived in hoiio till
tho dav when ho was routed out of (nil niul
off to Joliet. Then the lawyer attempted to
take possession ot ins goods and chatties,
Tho wife objected, and threatened to raiso a
riot. "Well," said tho lawyer," let Us talk
it over. Your husband is gone for about
two years, nnd you arc entitled to a divorce
anyway. Suniwso wo live tocether." She
accepted tho arrangement, apparently tho
best thing she could do, aud they live in
comfort, while tho husband is cutting stone,
or making barrels.
Another land sharper lias opened shop
here, and is spreading his circulars far ana
wide, throughout Eastern and Western
towns and villages. Ho wants to secure
numberless agents for the sale of farm lands
in Christian county, 111., away off in the
south-western part of the State. His oilers
are liberal, 'iho agent is to keep nan want
he receives. Ifhe sells $1,000 worth of land,
ho may keep $500, llut it is necessary for
him to nay a fee in advance, running from
$3 up to $30, depending on the amount of
land no minus ue can sen, it is needless to
say that the sharper owns no land in Chris
tian county, and that tho abstracts, deeds, 1
etc., which ho shows, are purely bogus and
of no more valuo than if they related to ex
tensive tracts in tho moon. All tho fees he
gets arc so much clear profit j and if an
agent should make a sale and remit, thnt is
also clear gain. Tho lands arc so attractive
ly deflcriboil, ami tho priocs put SO low, that
some fanner, toiling on a rocky home
stead, might easily bo induced to invest in a
Christian county paradise, unless ho was
forewarned.
From a local jioint of Vicwjtho chief event
of tho week was tho election, in which.how
ever, there was littlo to interest an outsider.
Only County officers wero voted for in Illi
nois, and no general importance attached to
tho contesti In this city tho Republican
ticket was successful, owing in great jmrt to
tho fact that its leading candidate was ex
ceptionally good, and that the Democracy
had nominated a couple of men who wero
offensive to tho communitv. To tho sur
prise of nearly all, tho Socialists polled over
six thousand Votes, which indicates that tho
strength of this disorganizing clement is
quite respectable. They are extremists, w'ho
disbelieve in the recognition of property
rights, and want the State to step in and do
a little equalizing between man and man
leading up the jioor and leading down tho
rich until they meet upon a common plane.
The followers of this party aro drawn, with
hardly an exception, from foreign nationali
tiesPolish, Bohemian, nnd German. The
only Americans aro leaders. Tho Green
back ticket polled less than a thousand
votes. Tho general public sentiment out
here, on tho question of running in debt,
was plainly shown bv the defeat of a proiio
sition to issue Court Houso bonds, onu of an
appropriation for the completion of the new
State House.
A warning for quick tempered young wo
men. T).iv liefnm vpatenlav a weddinfr nnr-
ty drew up at tho church door. Tho groom
eiepiieu up to tno carnago to let oui me gorge
ously caparisoned bride of the future. Her
train was very long, and ho was doubt
less nervous. For some reason he stcjijieil
uion it, and sadly marred it of its fair pro
portions. Kven at such an exciting moment
with the altar in view, she could not forget
her dress, and sho said, "How awkward you
aro" said that, and looked something far
more than serious. Ho made no reply, re
serving it for another occasion. The proces
sion moved on up the aisle, and funned in
order duo before tho minister. Tho cere
mony began, and moved on with great
smoothness until it reached the point where
lie was asked if he would tako her to bo his
wedded wife. Then instead of making tho
stereotyped formal answer, ho observed,
"No, you are too awkward for me." Under
cover of the consternation caused by this re
mark, he lied from the church, took a car
riage, and dqiarted for home, leaving tho
young lady to meditate on the folly of trains
and quick temers.
Tho indictment which was found last
summer in the United States Court, against
11. F. Allen, tho former owner of the Cook
County National Bank, has been stricken
from the docket Allen was indicted for
perjury, etc., chiefly at the instance of the
Charter Oak jieople, to invalidate his testi
mony against them in a certain suit. Allen
having "been thus indicted, turned on his
enemies, and had Illennerhassett, of New
York, a member of the old firm of Allen,
Stephen! & Co., likewise indicted for jier
jury. Since then the two jmrties have been
looking over Ihe situation, have decided to
cry quits, cither being glad to send the other
to jail, but each being unwilling, tinder any
circumstances, to go their himself.
The West is just now filled with broken
theatrical comjianies who have suffered
shipwreck on the road, and tho trunks of
whoso members aro held as security in a
score of hotels. A communication minus in
almost daily from some afflicted brother,nsk
ing for a small remittance to bring him back
to Chicago. One manager of a strolling
troujie telegraph, dismally from Lincoln,
Nebraska, tor the stoutest kind of a pair
of boots, as he finds out it will be necessary
for him to walk in. Regular performers
and negro minstrels aro alike Uhforlunate,
and tho lecture business seems to be about
as bad. In placo of tho hundreds of men
and women who aro careering around at
this season, with much-thumbed manu
script's in their carpet-bags, but a dozen can
be found, and they arc not making any
thing, with perhaps one or two exceptions.
Tho last new hand who has showed up in
this section is Habberton, tho author of
"Helen's Babies," and a dismal failure he
mado cf it. It was not that what ho read
was so bad ( hod Jil nppeartl in print, it
would Iks called amusing ; but neither man
ner nor voice of the lecturer possessed any
attractiveness, and tho auditors were in a
state of drowsiness before ho wos half-way
through. It is hard to understand why a
man, who lias Written n successful book,
should at once jump at the conclusion, that
ho would also make a hit at a totally dillcr
cnt business lecturing.
During tho week tho Lake has been swept
by two Violent North-casters, each of which
has smashed numerous vessels, but iimnm.
ly enough Without tho loss of a single life.
The other day tho sandy shores north and
south of tho city were covered with lumber
and shingles, tho deck-loads of unlucky
ships, while hero and there somo schooner
lay high and dry. the tendency of the
Chicago river to form a bar at its mouth is
temporarily counteracted by tho contructlon
of piers which stretch far out into the Lake,
and which arc j-carly extended farther and
farther. Ono result of thia is that it is much
harder to malto the mouth of the harbor
during a North wind, and a vessel trying
tho experiment runs tho risk of going to
liieces on the pier, or drifting far south, and
landing oil tho beach. These seasons are tho
harvest clays of tho poor who live any
where near the shore, nnd who nrn nMn in
accumulate fire wood chough to run them
through a good part of the winter. These
two atorins have put about thirty sailing
crafts fiora du combat, nnd that too at a time
when freights are good, and every vessel is
pusiH-u iino fcervico xo scna grain .cast, and
bring lumber hero from tho Michigon ports.
A year ago an effort was made to open di
rect trade between hero nnd Enirland. nnd
somo loads of deals, grain, Ac, were sent
over, but tho experiment did notprovo to te
successful, and those who went into it were
bankrupted. It was Teas b e. but the ves
sels which could be used hod to bo of small
siee to get through the Welland Canal, and
could not comjwto with the ocean vessels
sailing from Eastern ports. Cnic.
