m1 0 RELIZF COLLECTION. The severest a. most hopeless sufferers by the fire tn Chicago wore 18 artists. An Academy of Art had recently boo: a*ablished in the city, sod under the stimulus of wealth and taste a spirited and prom 4sing school of artis was growing up. Their annual ality, and the public spirited citidens with just pride 100! f decided and couraged theil Lative talent with liberal orders po kindly appreciation. Dut the fire put an end to oll this. Not only Jud the artists of Chicago lose most of their preducticrs in the flames that de gtroyed their si wis and their Academy, but they saw swept oul existence in a night their entire field of Jab: 1. ‘I bere is no money fn Chicago to-dsy to buy pict ies; it will be long before there js any.

Mr. George Catlin bas in Sy in tis hall hi ollectio of hes of the abingiin! thes America, and no BY omit a vit 1 tiis1emarkable gallery. It was the intention of I1'z9¢, in his Comédie Hu maine, to give so con pliten) ietnre of French society in the nineteenth century that if all other literature ceased to exist, an exact pi esentation of the life and manners of the aze could be gained from that work. A plan so gigantic wis, «f course, impossible of ao complishment, but even this colossal fragment is the most consideruble ntribmtion ever made to philo sophical fiction. The plan which Mr. Catlin forty years ago propos: d to himoelf was of the same sweeping character, though fur more practicable. He pesolved to preserve, is fur as it was possible, the faces, forms, costumes. and manners of the vanish fog races of America, so that when the extinction which threatened them kal overtaken them, the world could at least know from his pictures what manner of wen they were, The plan, though ambi tions and audacious, was not altogether visionary; for, uficr all. the number of tribes wae not very great, and their habits and customs were far eagicr to seize and delineate than those of our complex civilization. He went cour ageously about his work,and for fourteen years, living constantly amoug the savage tribes of the two con tineuts, pursued it with a passionate devotion. The result 18 to be seen nt Somerville Gallery. The col Jection embraces 60 oil paintings, containing 470 portraits and more than 2J,000 figures of the Indians of the two Americas. It will be impossible in these eolnmns to give even s classification of so vast a variety of sketches. Bat, large as the collection is, there is very little repetition, very few dupicates. It is a most in structive page of pictorial history. Already the pre vision of the artist has been proved by the facts, and some of the most interesting tribes have already ceased to exist. The group of Keokuk and Black Hawk” has already gained a high historical in: terest, with the extinction of their families and the dispersion of their tribes. The four days’ religions ceremonies of the Mandaus are in tbe highest de gree interesting and important in view of their close relations with the self-torturers of the Oriental sects. These ceremonies have utterly ceased with the disappearance o the tribes which practiced them, tha ertain Indian experts bave accused Mr. Catlin of foventing them—a charge which be readily dis proved by the evidence of intelligent pioneers and euch scourate observers as Humboldt and Neuwied. No.2 18 a singular sketch of Chicago as it was when Mr. Catlin tirst visited that Sifu group of Winnebagoes dancing on the grass. and only three houses by the lakeside. No. 234 is a portrait of one of those supard Crow warriors who bave long since vanished. He is oiling bis long black bair, which peaches like a borse-tail bauner to the ground and trails there for several feet. Very carious, also, is the portrait of Eltono, a chief of the Apaches, who after long persuasion consented to stand for his pic tare. He came to the artist surrounded by his wives sod retainers, and threw his rich vestments around among them until he stood baked, or only clad in his was-paint. “Paint me!” he shouted to Mr. Catlin; “my clothes can be seen always, but I shall pass away!” Ome of the most characteristic sketches is that of the Mach-e-0-a, or Dance of Beauty, with which the artist was favored by the Chief of the Gooagives of Venezuela. Three young girls, dressed in a severely simple costume of brace lots and silver hair-pins, their red limbs whitened with pipe-clay to resemble statues, are dancing on a carpet of tiger-skins in the fresh morning light on the prairie, and form a pretty enough group of South American graces. There is one bit of savage satire in the picture of a Crow Chief on his way to Wash ington, and the same personage on his way back. The first picture is full of dignity and even beauty. It is bard to oonceive of a more impressive costume than that superb one of furs and feathers. But the portrait of the unfor tunate chief after his visit to the Great Father is to grotesque for caricature, and is evidently true. He wears a full colonel’s uniform, given him by Jackson, the sword drags between his groggy legs, a bottle of whisky protrudes from his pocket, s black hat disgraces his head, and a cigar slants row. dily toward bis eyebrow. This is what civilization hae dope and is doing for these picturesque savages We should be very grateful to Mr. Catlin that he caught them before they began to look like Cauca sian loafers, and to dress themselves from the slop shops of the Pale-face. u in Dr. Charles C.

The following are the majorities by towns for Secretary of State, Benator, and A aaatrihlvrenra yn ISTHE NEW BOARD LEGALLY ELECTED 1—DETER MINATION OF THE OLD BOARD TO CONTEST THE POINT. Considerable discussion has been elicited in political circles by the expressed determination of the present Common Council of this city to refuse to recog nize the new Common Council elected last Tuesday. The Board of Aldermen has already held several meetings to deliberate on the best means to attain their object, and with one exception ite members appear unamimonsly determined to resist removal. Tuis exception is Alder map Edward Welch, who has issued the following: To the Editor of The Tribune. fIR: As there is likely to be some confusion in the pubde mind relating to the next Bourd of Aldermen of thas city, I desire to state publicly what my course shall be. The term of office for which 1 was elected Alderman expires on the first Monday of January, 1872, at 12 o'clock peou. My name was among the list of cundiaates for Aldermen on the regular Dewocratic ticket voted at the last election. IT Iam officially declared elected I shall expeot to take my seat for the new term, and under no ofher circumstances shall I do so. I do not recoguize the right of the Legislature to extend or abridge the term of any incumbent of an elective office neither do I acknowledge 1ts right to dclegate the power to any official to appoint persons to till whatsuould be and swiways have been elective otfices. Haviog always been, snd expecting always to be, Democrat, I cannot acquiesce in the anti-Democratic docwrine of legislating persons iuto or out of office. I further hold tuat sng charter for this or any other city should be submitted, Letore its adoptiow, to the people who ure to be goverued by it EDWARD WELCH, Alderman of City of New-York, The history of the present Common Council 18 as fol lows: In April, 1870, Hall, Sweeny, Tweed and Connolly caused the passage of the present city charter, by one of the provisions of which the Common Council elected in December, 1869, was legislated out of office. This was partly in retaliation against the majority in that body for having sustained the Young Democracy, and partly that the Ring might appoint a set of figure Leads at $4,000 a year each, who would not interfere with the sway of Tweed Co. The new charter provided that there ehon!d be a Board of Aldermen, consisting of fifteen members, to be eolected on a general ticket, and a Board of Assistant Aldermen, which should consist of one member from each Assembly District This election was to be on the third Tuesday in May. These Councilmen were entirely shornof th epower pos sessed by their predecessors, and were to hold office from the first Monday of June, 1870, to the first Monday in January, 1872. Another passage in the act declared that Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen elected in the gen eral election in November, 1871, and annually thereafter, at every succeeding general election, shall take office at noon on the first Mouday of January in each aud every year following tueir election.” At the last sese!in of the Legislature the Ring, yg its agents, passed an sct extending the terms of the Boards of Aldermen one ear longer, causing them to expire in January, 1873, and f is upon this extension that the present fucuwbents rely. Alderman Coman, for the past five years President of the Board, states that he has uo doubt but that the pres ent Boards will continue in office. He believes that the Pastas of the extension clause referred to gives them legal tenure of office which cannot be abrogated, not withsranding the fact that she Court of Appeals has de cided that the Legislature bas no coustitutional power to extend the term of an elective officer. Mr, Coman fur ther states that there was no notice issued for an elec tion of Aldermen, and that there is no law whereby any provision for an‘election of these officers at the recent election was made, as the section providing for such an election this Autumn was repealed. He also argues that it the extension clause be unconstitutional, then the Mayor, as the head of tbe local goverument, has the sole power of appointment. Mr Coman states that the Mayor has promised to recog: “.e ouly the present in cumbents, and that upon OfFaiiziug for the Shing year be will receive the Committee only from their vard, and will transmit his message only to them. Also, that the Common Council never coutempluted the 1mpeach ment of the Mayor. On Tuesday next they will meet as a Board of County Canvassers, and whether they recog ‘nize the legality of the Aluermanic ballots or not, witl Sanvase thei in the presence of all who may choose to atten: The new Board of Aldermen is understood to consist of the Jolion ing members Peter Gilsey, Jenkins Van Behaick, Willam Joyce, Solomon Melrbach, Wm. Radde, Michae) Carroll, James Fitzgerald, Samuel B. H. Vance, John Falconer, Alexander Martin. John Cochrane, Jas. McLaren, Alexander Wilder, Daniel D. Conover, and Bryan Reilly. Gen. Cochrane holds that there can be no question of the Jogulity of the recent election. The ex tension of an elective office had been declared {illegal by the Court of Appeals, so that the Common Council could not legally hold over until 1873, and tue election of the new Hoard rested on the section of the act of 1570, which provides for the election of the Boards of Aldermen at the regular election in November. Both sides promise to hold out, and there is every indication of an iuteresting le xnl coutroversy. re THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES AT WORK— DERELICT POLICEMEN—~—HOW THE OFFEAND ERS CAN BE PROSECUTED. ~The Special Committee appointed to dis cover and bring to punishment the culprits guilty of fraud at the late election in Brooklyn took the testimony of a number of witnesses on Saturday. The proceedings of the Committee are secret, but it is rumored that evi dence has been obtained which will lead to the arrest of at least five Inspectors of Election, and upon which the returns from several districts will be thrown out. The Committee appointed at the Academy of Music meeting will begin operations this evening in the Directors’ room of the Academy, by organizing and appointing sub-committees, which will at ence take in Land the work to which they are assigned. The election returns st Police Headquarters are still incomplete, and the result will therefore remain in doubt uutil the official canvass is completed. The returns from the IVth District, Twenty-first Ward, reported missing in Baturday’s TmIBUNEJ were found lying under a desk in the City Clerk's office, on the morning of that day. The clerksithink, ‘or say, thut some one entered the office during the night, by mesns of false keys, ané replaced tue returns.

David Pell (Kepublican)’ was elected sheriff by a majority of 12. rt en HOW GEN. SCHENCK WAS COUNTED OUT. THE NOTORIOUS “PETE” SCHWAB STUFFED A BALLOT-BOX AT THE CONGRESS ELECTION IN 1870. Nobody has forgotten the indignation of the houest Republicans of Ohio, last year, at the exclusion of the votes offered by the disabled soldiers of the Dayton Home, and the consequent defeat of Gen. Bchenck by a majority of 63 returned for Lew. D. Campbell. It now appears that Gen. Schenck was really elected without the soldiers’ vote, and that Campbell's apparent major ity was the result of ballot-box stuffing in the Second Ward of Hamilton by the notorious “Pete” 8chwab, against whom aun fndictmeut has been found. In the ward where the fraud was perpetrated three candidates were running at the municipal election of 1871 for the office of Councilman—a Republican, Cole, a Democrat, and Potter, who was nominated on a “Citi zens ticket, Schwab, who was one of the Judges of Election, favored Potter, and during the election it was reported that he was putting votes for Potter into the ballot-box. When Cole heard of this, he personally charged Schwab with it, and this led to loud words ana even blows. Mutual friends interfered, and the matter was hushed up. Cole was elected, and after the vote was announced, not only repeated his charges, but added that at the October eloction in 1870 similar frauds were committed, and by the rame man, Some Republicans who heard these stories induced Cole, after Congress had dis posed of the case, to go before a Justice of the Peace and make two affidavits, one that Schwab stuffed the ballot-box at the municipal election of 1871, and the other that he was guilty of the same offense at the Congress election of 1870. On these afidavits Schwab was arrested, “and gave bail, but before a hearing of the case was had Cole had been bought off, and withdrew his charges. But the Republicans who had taken an interest in the case wero not disposed to let the matter rest, and, having learned who the witnesses iu the case were, caused Schwab's arrest for violating the United States election law, The witnesses summoned were Cole, Andrews, Sheriff of the County, and Nickel, editor of the Degno cratic journal at Dayton. Bchwab’s attorneys first en deavored to have the case continued, and, failing in that, waived an examination, thinking that by this means they would prevent any of the testimony being heard. But the Commissioner desired some data upon which to fix the amount of the dail bond, and therefore decided to hear a portion of the testimony. Echwab’s attorneys blustered, insulted the court, and, at length, when they fouud that the Commissioner was determined to hear the testimony, left, The facts divulged were breifly as follows: Sheriff An drews saw Mr. 8, standing by the ballot-box when the lis elosed, In his one hand he held something look like tickets; the other held the lid of the opau box; the contents of the one hand were swiftly oirptied futo the box, the other hard closed the box with a snap. Schwab noticed that Andrews observed the movement, and after explaing to Andrews, and saying that the number of tickets put in was 62 or 63, Andrews enjoined the strictest secrecy. This took place in the room where the ballots had been voted during the day. Nickel walked home with Behwab immediately after the polis closed. On the way Schwab explained to Nickel what he had done, and requested him to have the same thing done at the Fourth Ward polls. Nickel was in crednlous,” to use Lis own expression, when Peter told him if he could not credit his statement to ask Hob Andrews who saw me do it.” After supper the ballots were counted. At this time Cole came in, and observed mysterious movements on the part of Schwab, who had possession of the box. In taking out the ballots he arranged them in four convenient piles straight Republican, straight Democratic, mixed Republican and mixed Democratic. Cole noticed that Schwab frequently carried his hand in his coat pocket, and Schwab explained to Cole that his hand was exceed ing weary with much handling of tickets, and it sought lis pocket for needed rest. Cole was surprised, and Behwab finally asked him if he “sees how it 1s done,” and on Cole answering affirmatively, Bchwab cautioned him to say nothing to no man. The tickets Androws saw Mr. B. put in the box were Campbell tickets the tickets Cole saw Lim withdraw were schenok tickets. To make the JoiScke cor respond with the ballots, a number equal to those he put in must be withdrawn; the confusion incident to the clos ng of the polls gave him the opportunity to put them the position he took while counting them out gave him ample facilities to transfer to his pocket an equal number; and to the testimony of the one who saw him put them in, and to that of the other who saw him fake them out, we have Schwab's acknowledg ment to Nickel that he did actually put them in. Ou this evidence Behwab was heid to await the actiom of the U. 8. Grand Jury, which has now indicted him. After the evidence before the U. B. Commissioner be came public, the Grand Jury of Butler County also found a similar indictment agatont Bchwab for violating the Btate Election law. It now looks as though Col. Campbell may vet lose his seat in Congress. a FURTHER ELECTION RETURNS—POLITICAL COM PLEXION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

But any man of sense can see the reason. In this State the position of parties was reversed the Democrats were the reformers. Our last Legislature was Republican; what did it do? Why, one thing was to sell out at a good price to Erie; another, to appointa so-called reformed Government for Jersey City, which is the greatest curse this ¢ity has had for years. Our old Democratic Boards were rascals, but they were not scientific in their rascali ties. Our new Commissions are Tweeds on a small scale vou can't get hold of them.

The fact i I received 150 votes exactly, which I am told by those who know is more than any other man in West Jersey could get. I had Mved in the district only one week. Tuls number of votes (running against the regular Democratio and Republican candidates) was a most significant pro test against the corrupt Ring who have run and ruled Republican politics in West Jersey for six years. In 20 years, the Ring candidates have not been defeated in Camden Couunty. Tals Fall their defeat was a Wuterloo—only one man being elected; he hy; 100 instead of 500 IAorRy. his antl-Ring sentiment defeated Mr. Walsh because the people were Jostosed with the idea tbat the Newark junts and Camden comn Muation meant to enslave us by corrupt coalition to buy the Governorship and the Senatorial purple st the same election. “Money,” not PHneiple, rules Now-Jersey, and no Pretorian cohort evor sold the Emperor's throne in Rome more unblushingly than a dirty and avaricious {olitieal cabal selis the highest political positions in New ersev. This thing must be ind Mr. Walsh himself has been devoured by these po litical buzzards in the year last past to ths amount of $60,000. Independent Republican organ izations have grown up like magic all over New-Jerscy, and just what the Ring want us to do that thing we will not 10. One of these defeated Ring leaders in Camden County said, bafore election, “that man was a fool who expected anything but corruption in delegate elections.” Honesty in nominating couventious we mean to have, The young Republicans are awake: and if men like Mr, Walsh bin us in this crusade for principle and against dollars, the people will hovor him in the future. 1am u Republican, and cannot be kicked or cursed iuto the Democratic ranks, Now and forever agaiust riugs, cliques, and corrupt combinations, I am yours, Camden, Nov, 11, 1871. J. M. BCOVEL. FAREWELL SERMON OF THE REV. DR. THOMPSON. The Rov. Dr. J. P. Thompson, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle Church, preached his farewell germon to a large congregation last evening. He sald: Of the 363 members who composed the church at the time of my settlement, ouly 21 now have their names upon its roll, and there remain to-day in its active mem bership but eight brethren whojwere here when I was installed. Of the Congregational Union in New-York, Brooklyn and vicinity, this is the mother church and I aw the senior pastor, and among all the churches of this city there remain in the full discharge of their pastoral offices, enly eight ministers who were bere when I came to this church. This church has illustrated the capacity of the local church for self-government. It had its origin in the assertion of the principle which we regard as the fundamental law of the New Testament, that the church properly consists of all persons who have been spiritually renewed through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In its early history It had its differences, some times of policy and sometimes personal, but they were uiways adjusted without disruption and I think It will be adoiitted that it has set a good example in minding its own affairs. Its Moerts. of discussion has conduced to harwony of action, uui J of purpose, and force of com bination. Through all its experience, the unanimity, practical wisdom, and coiperative $iBcieuey of the brotherhood have justified the priuociple of selfgovern ment. Equally important has been the work of this church fn furthering the union of churches of its own order, es pecially between New-England and the West, and in de veloping the vital coherruce of the Congregational body throughout the land. The independence of the local church in matters of government Is counterbalanced in our system by fellowship of the churches in matters of faith and common concern. It is not too much to claim that this church has been the medium of fusing the old and the new—of bringiug the churches of the East and the West to the consciousuess of a national life, It was the pastor of this church who drafted the organization of the association of New-York and Brooklyn, and brought the infant churches in this vicinity into vital communion, and who alded in the establishment and for years assisted in the conduct of the weekly journal which did so much to assert the power and aid the progreas of the pripeiple of liberty in urch and State. Again, the pastor of this church originated the call and constructed the plan of the great convention of ministers and dele- gates of the Congregutional Churches of the United States which met at A any in 1852, and which was the first step toward a unification of the Congregational body throughout the country. Tuls series of measures, repro- senting the spirit of this church, gave to it a national reputation for leadership in ite own communion, and be cause of its cordial sud comprehensive spirit in all things pertaining to the welfare of that union it has been the center for moetiugs and movewents which concern the whole Congregational body. Within these walls assembled, in 1364, the preliminary couference that recommended the great National Council at Boston, iu 1865; ulso the national delegation waich planned tor the Jubilee of the Pilgrims by commemo rative services at Chicago, Boston, and P.ymouth, and by preaching and contributions all over the United tates. ren Thy as it has on the platform of govern mental i jependence, this church, by its teachings and its cooperative example, bas illustrated and promoted the re of the Church Universal. The nawe Congre ational” does not once veeur in the title of this church, in its articles or its rules, so little do we care for its name as such. It is simply 8 church of Jesus Curist, without regard to modes of ecclesiastical administration, and I trust that this pulpit may never be desecrated by sectarian uttersuces, aud that no embassador of the faith will ever be debarred from it by reason of his church oy no-chureh connection, if he only have the fuith and spirit of Christ. Paring the past 26 years this church has ecomtributed to the various objects of benevolence brought before it, in round numbers, $350,000. During the same pel od it Las raised, by coutcibutions, for sustaining its own worship, $233,000; toward the purchase of the old Taber nacle ab the time of my settlement, $15,000; to cancel the debt on this house after we came in, $65,000 (840,000 of which was raised on one Sabbath orsiag) for repairs and meidental improvements, $15,000; making a total of $078,000 given vy this cougregation tw support the worsuip of God aud to send abroad the knowledge of Christ. 1 am sure that I shail be purdoned for adding that the munificent provision pledged to the retiring pastor will sates Lhe sum total of their charities to more than $730,000. church has increased froin 67 members to an average of nearly Su; the addition under my pastorate has been 457 on the first confession of faith, and 900 by letter from other churches, tal of 1,357.
