Brnckway in having published a defamatory article in tho Juth of tK-tober, was to have come up at o'clock yesterday artcrnoon before Justice lioblnson. The prisoners were all on hand promptly with their counsel, Harry Kubens aud Richard Prendergast. Tho firosecutor was represented by Messrs.

J. N. larker and Ira W. Buell. There was an apparent desire on tho part of the defendants, through their counsel, to make a --settlement or some kind.

Various propositions wei-e made and refused. The defendants feared that if they made an unqualified retraction that it would kill them and their Journal. But the plaintitr would accept nott.ng but an unequivocal retraction, tho defendants to have it published in every paper in Chicago. The aggravations in the original libel lay in the fact that especial pains were taken to give it great circulation, and au extra edition of it was thrown upon the streets after the defendants bad lieen arrested. After some delav the parties, by consent, adjourned the case until next Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.

In the meantime an amienbie settlement will no doubt bo made. The defendants are in a bad fix. apparently, and they seem to appreciate the situation. A PROPEIXER AVD A BRIDGE. ADOiit a quarter liefore 8 o'clock last eveninc the propeller Sweepstakes, one of tho Peshtlgo Company's boats, pulled into the river, and, when near Bush-street bridge, attempted to make a turn in order to get back to the docks of the Company.

The engines would not reverse, and the impetus which tho boat had gained scut her crashing against the bridge in the middle of tho north draw. By the collision one of tho locks of the bridge was broken, a small section of tho railing was knocked over, and a few boards on th footpath were ripped up. The Sweepstakes i a small propeller, looking like a large-sized rug, and the bridge had decidedly the best of her. Her smoke-stack and cabin were literally torn from her deck, which was swept clean by the bridge roadway. The Captain sustained a few slight injuries, and a man in the pilot-house wus knocked off nis perch into the river, but vrw picked up uninjured.

The propeller went under the bridge, and tied up at the dock just boyoud, on the north side of the river. The collision amcared to be purely accidental. There was no signal given for the bridge to open, as it was not intended that tho boat should pass the bridge, and the accident was due to the fact that the boat did not take the engine.

Mrs. Mott was also the friend and co-worker of Elibu Burritt in his plans for the abolitiou of war and the establishment of universal brother hood among the people and nations. She was a promoter of tbe temperance, as she was of every movement that seemed aimed tor tho good. be education, or the elevation of her fel low-creatures.

When a young man, ROBERT COLLYEB, who not long ago was a popular Fnitarian preacher in Chicago, worked as a blacksmith in the neighborhood of Mrs. Mott'S residence, on tbe old York Boad, near Philadelphia. He was then an earnest exhorter or local preacher among his Methodist brethren. He came under tbe influence of Mrs. Mott and her son-in-law, K.

M. Davis. Mr. Collyer has said that Mrs. Mott made him an Abojlitionist and Davis a Liberal Christian.

It should ait be presumed that Mrs. Mott's teachings of toleration and liberalism were a countenance of license and free-thought. It may be better described as following tho advice of the Apostle, "Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." She took her stand with tho gtxxl Klias Hicks when the division between the Quakers took place in 117, and ber ground of faith was. To adhere to the sufficiency of the light within us, resting on the truth as authority, rather than taking authority for truth." The more orthodox statement of the same ideas might be, "yielding to the guidance of tho Holy SHE HAD A READY ANSWER for every defense of her opinions. While in London ia 1840, at the time of tho World's Convention, She visited the famous Zoological Gardens.

A gentleman of the party calltjd her attention to the gorgeous plumage of the tropical birds, with the remark, "You see, Mrs. Mott, our Heavenly Father believes in bright colors. How much it would detract from our pleasure if Rll the birds were dressed iu ornb." es." she replied, "we admire these colors on birds or flowers, but In immortal beings we do not depend upon feathers for their attractions. With the intinit variety of the human face and form; of thought, feeling, and affection, we do not need gorgeous apparel to distinguish us. Moreover, if it is fitting that woman should dress in every color of tbe rainbow, why not men also? Although Lucretia Mott has been prominently before the public as a philanthropist and a public laborer, she shone none the less brilliantly in domestic life.

Motherhood was proved in her the glory of her bf e. She was the- mother of six children, who have been trained up iu the way of love and usefulness, and have risen up to call her blessed above even tho common lot of women, E. DRAKE. yrw Ynrk Timsi, ft or. 10.

Little credence is given it, however, for the reason that if be had intended to make any such move be would hae made it liefore. If he does anvthing in the matter, it will be to help in the spring election, of course. The Superintendent of Buildings and Fire- William Lloyd Garrison, tho most pronounced of all this sect, shuffled oft the mortal coil." There aro but few that remain of this class, though it is only about half a century since this modern agitation was begun by these people in its intensity. As we look over the scene only John G.

Whittier, tho poet, seems to remain of the old stock. Mrs. Mott stands forth prominently as one of the most active of the Atw fttionisti during the dark days of mobocratic supremacy. It bas been remarked by one who has sketched a brief biography of Mrs. Mott, that she was not much a champion of any particular cause as of all reforms." Sfao was conspicuous as an associate with Susan B.

Anthony and Mrs. Stanton in the advocacy of the rights of women. Perhaps it is no more than true to say sho was the pioneer of this cause. Her education as Quaker may have half prepared her for the advocacy of these advanced Lucretia Mott's maiden name was Coffin. She was BORN- IS THE ISLAXD OF NASTPCKET in 17TO; her parents belonged to the Society of Friends, and she wa3 trained strictly after the tenets of that sect.

Her father was of the family aistlnguished as whale-fishermen, and of which an American novel of distinction was written half a century ago entitled "Miriam Coffin." During the absence of her father on long voyages her mother attended to the mercantile business of the family firm, going to Boston to purchase goods for the "store" in exchange for oil and candles, the staple products of the island. The exercise of woman's talent in this line of business, and the responsible duties assumed in it, Mrs. Mott thought tended to develop the intellectual powers of the mother and children; and it doubtless had the effect to lead her in early life in sympathy with that cause which she centralized as Woman's Bights. In 1H04 her family removed to Boston. Her father had a desire to train up his children for lives of usefulness.

At the age of 14 she was placed with a younger sister at a Friends' boarding-school In the State of New York, where she remained for two years without returning to her home. At 15 she became an assistant teacher in the school. Th served to develop early a eenso of individual responsibility and self-reiiance. Her parents removed from Boston to Philadelphia before 180f, at which time she returned to reside at home. In 1S1L at the early age of is, she 'MAUItrEO MOTT, A TOCXG QCAKXIt, with whom an attachment had been formed at the boarding-school.

Young Mott immediately entered into the commercial business with his iafher-in-law. The business culamitie- which came with the War of 112; and the death ot bcr fa-her, involved the family in financial dilHeulties, and the young wife was compelled to resort again to teaching to aid in procuring sulrsisienco. She remarked, "These trials in early life were not without their good effect in disciplining the mind and leading it to set a just estimate on worldly pleasures." The most important step, next to that of her marriage, in the life of Lucretia Mott, was taken at tne age of when, as she says, "summoned by a little famiry ana many cares I felt called to a more public life of devotion to duty, and ENGAGED THE M1XISTRT in our Society." Sho then became a Quaker preacher. That denomination does not read the words of St. Paul as some others do.

A little family and many car0 usually call in an opposit direction from the ministry. She states her own religious or moral views: "Ialwavs loved the good, in childhood desired to do the right, and bad no faith in the generally received idea of human depravity." It. was jnst about this period that Klias Hicks, the Quaker expounder of doctrine and works had come to the front as a sower of seditious words and the ad vocate of notions that were heretical. He was locked out of the old orthodox Quaker meetimr-house, which was the hive of goodness which William Penn had set up, and he became the founder of the sect known as tho Hicksites. They set up a place for their worship in Green street, and were afterward known as tho Green street meeting.

Though this branch that was broken off was regarded as unsound even to the extent of heresy, yet they said thee and thou as much as ever, and wore coats and broad-brimmed hats, aud the women their bonnets of drab. Mrs. Mott was A PREACH 1TR OF THESE HICKSITE QUAKERS. Now, the world does not know much about what Hicksites are. They are-said to bo a sort of Unitarian Quakers.

But Liias Hicks, we are told, was a cry good man. No kind of Quakers have much of a creed. But they have considerable machinery. F.Uas Hicks preached a doctrine of goodness and of works; his was reallv a religion of humanity; and those from whom he had come out, or was driven out, had a religion of humanity also, no douot. but it was considerably one of belief, while Elias' was largely in works.

However it may be, there is a great gulf fixed between the orthodox and the Hicksite Quakers, so that tbey- will not pass from one to tho other. All tho world knows sometbiisgabout tbo history of Lucretia Mott, the Hicksite woman preacher, and knows of her deeds, and where she lives, except tbo orthodox Quakers of ber own city. Klias Hicks preached against the sin of slavery before the modern Abolitionists begau their agitation. lie also preached thodoctrine of immediate repentance, which meant immediate emancipation, lctoro Garrison sounded that slogan and put a caveat upon it in this country. AS A OK EU.W HICKS, Lucretia Mott became very early one of the unconditional emancipationists.

Bcnjnmiu Lun-dv, who was born a little way from Philadelphia, in New Jersey, who is set down in Greeiey's "American Conflict" as the pioneer of Abolitionism, had commenced his life-work in Tennessee, Ohio, and Maryland liefore Lucretia began to preach. Lundy whs also a Hicksite Quaker. He used to come up to hi brethren according to the faith, in Philadelphia for comfort, advice, and help. Tbe meeting in tirecii street, and the philanthropic doctrines of Klias Hicks were the mainstay of Ben Lundy's patient, persistent work," that began to be felt in many sections of tbe country. Lucretia Mott was perhaps his earliest confidential adviser.

He was jority of tho early operators iu oil. he made a fortune, lost it, and in his declining years found himself in poverty. Unlike many of the same class, however, he was not reduced to abject want, for the State of Pennsylvania, reeognfz- ing the benefits hich sho had derived from his Js'otblnjf was done twyond considering1 toe advanced rates agreed, upon at the meeting of the day before.

THE ANTHRACITE COAL PROnCCEKS concluded their session at the rand Pacific Hotel yesterday afternoon, and returnt-d home on the evening trains. The result of tho session was that the producers determined to force a general advanceof 25 cents per ton on all grades of anthracite coal. This, they claim, they are 1 orcetl to do by the advance in transportation rates, which bat also been determined uxn on lines running from the coal regious to Buffalo. The rmes from there west will remain unchanged, nt least until after navigation finally closes. The coal meu say that the raiironds.

will cet about one-hair of thia advance. This advance, for the present, will full on the dealers only, as the Exchange in this city has already advanced the price to $7 on all grade of anthracite, and they claim that no advance will bo made to dealers for a tew weeks, although after that time a general rise in prices may be confidently expected.

Tho prisoner was represented by W. W. O'Brien, and State's-Attorney Mills conducted the prosecution. On the night of tho 21th of January last the prisoner, who is a low-lived but tastily-dressed negro gambler and bully, was on a spree on Harrison street, in tho vicinity of Fourth avenue. He staggered against a post and knocked eff bis hat, and at about tbe same time an inoffensive colored man named Fen ton Beatty came along, and Campbell accosted him, abused him, and then shot him in tho abdomen.

The murder at the time was considered most wanton and unprovoked. The prisoner was promptly arrested, and has been lying in jail awaiting trial, havim? made affidavit previously that all the Judges in Cook County were prejudiced against him except McAllister, beforo whom Campbell pleaded guilty yesterday morning to murder, and threw himself upon the mercy of the Court, fcelingr perhaps that the Judffc was loath to inflict capital punishment'. State's-Attorney Mills briefly reviewed the case. The plea of guilty did away with the necessity of impaneling a jury ana materially expedited matters. The first witness called was Officer ShandleT, who testified that at 9 o'clock on the evening of the 24th of January last Capt.

Ebersold and himself were notified of a shooting affair which had just taken place on tho south side of Harrison street, between Fourth avenue aud Clark street- When he came upon the scene a little while after, he met Charles Campbell coming out of an alley. Tbo policeman took charge of him, and Campbell pretended to be drunk and not to know what had taken place. Tho officer thought that Campbell showed that he had been drinking, but be was not drunk. Campbell insisted that hediduot know what had happened. John Deprato said he was coming down Harrison street about tho time mentioned, and saw two men quarreling on tho sidewalk alxnit a hat.

In walking towards them he heard one of the two men say, You are down ou me." The other replied. "No, I ain't," and finally one of compelled Beatty to pick up his hat. They had a few more words, which tho witness did not catch. Campbell then took a pistol out of his pocket, and, cocking it. said: Now, you take this, you and shot him.

Beatty, after the first shot, started to cross the street, and while ho was going over Campbell shot him again. When tho first shot was r.red tho meu were not more than four or fi ve feet apart. MLssLetitia Miller, a colored girl, swore fhat she was up-stairs, directly over the scene of tho tragedy. She happened to be sitting near an oien window. saw Campbell daggering alotig the street, and he staggered against Miller's show-sign and dropped his hat.

Beatty came along, and Campbell accosted him in an offensive way and told him to pick up his hat. He said, "Pick it up," with an oath, and then pointed a revolver tit the man and saiL "You enn't down me." Beatty replied, 1 don't want to down you." And Cainpttell replied quickly, You don't, you don't," and then saying, You fired. He shot Beatty again as he was going across the street. Campbell coollv went into Murray's saloon, as though nothing had happened. Altiert Herbst, Mrs.

Isabella Hughes, and Lewis Sternberg corroborated the previous testimony. Dr. Biuthardt testified as to the resuit of the post-mortem examination, and that death resulted from a pistol-shot wound in tho abdomen. Mrs. Fenton Beatty, tbe wife of the deceased, told the story of the dvlng man's last moments.

She found her husband at the Armorv. with the life-blood fast ebbing away. She asked him to pray, as he was culling upon the Lord to have mercy upon him. She asked her husband who had shot. him.

and he said "That wicked man, Campbell." She asked, "What for?" and her husband said for nothing. Campbell had asked birn to pick up bis hat, which ho had knocked Off in stumbling. Capt. Ebersold testified as to the prisoner's condition at the time of his arrest. His impression was that he was not drunk, though he had been drinking.

At this stage the prosecution asked for further time, in order to produce some other important witnesses, who were not iu court. The Court granted the request, and the trial was adjourned untit Saturday morning at o'clock. IXQUESTS. M1CHAKL HENNESSEY. Deputy-Coroner Waite held an Inquest yesterday at the County Hospital upon Michael Hennessey, the drunkard and loafer who died there of injuries received iu a street light election-day.

The only witness examined was Jeremiah Itogers, keeper of a lodging-house at No. 405 Clark street, who gave the deceased shelter the night after he rewired his injuries until the following Sunday morning, when he was sent to the Hospital. Hennessey said be was set upon while drunk at the corner of Van Buren and Clark streets by four or firemen. There was no evidence to show that Waldron, who died Tuesday at tbo Hospital, or any other person in particular, had inflicted tbe injuries, and the jury brought in a verdict that death was caused by acute meningitis following cuts and bruises indicted by unknown persons on tbe night of Tuesday, Nov. 3.

OTHER CASES. An inquest was also held at the Goodrich steamboat dock upon George Compton, bead-waiter on the steamer Michigan, who died rather suddenly at 1 o'clock yesterday morning on board ship. The jury found that death was caused by consumption. The deceased has a mother and relatives living in Buffalo, who were telegraphed the facts. Inquests were also held at No.

181 Wesson street upon Peter Anderson, 54 years of ag-e and single, who died of consumption: at a'o. its Wesson street upon John C. Olson. 5 vears of age. who fell dead from heart disease in Weliel cooper-shop, at No.

Cummings, proprietor of the. Briggs House, was last evening; the recipient of a pleasant and deserved surprise at the bands of his guests. During' the fire of Wednesday night, when the destruction of the hotel was imminent, Mr. Qumminss, notwithstanding' prospective satisfied from his observations that Seueca oil was possessed of more proiierties than had ever been credited to it, and that a fortune was in store for tho man who could secure it in any quantity. He suggested tbe idea that the oil could be obtained in paying quantities by sinking a well.

Inspector Hoyne, front the Committee on veiling Schools, repor ted that they were opened Monday, and that the attendance was increasing. The same Inspector, from the Committee on Rules, submitted an amendment to the regulations, providing that, liefore a teacher could become a PrincipaL he or she must obtain a Principal's certificate.

This provoked gome discussion, the main objection offered being that the rule would require competent teachers to pass a technical which few of them could do without "cramming." The rule, however, was passed, but it will not take etleet until Jan. 1. On motion of Inspector Curran. it was decided not to elect Principals for the throe new schools until the last meetingof the Board in lkecemter. Superintendent How land submitted the usual monthly statistics for October, as follows: Total enrollment, SI.

179; average dally mcni-bership, average daily attendance, per cent of attendance, 94.7; teachers, S'27; Dupils attending half day, pupils in rented buildings, The Board then adjourned. THE FOOjl-JIOITSE. A BAD STATS Olf AFFAIRS. A meeting of the County Board of Public Charities was held yesterday afternoon at the County Agent's olhcc, at which Commissioners Purlngton, in the chair, Senne, and Hutt were present. A long talk was had with Mr.

Reynolds, storekeeper of tho County Poor-House and Insane Asylum, whose management of his department was severely Mr. Purlngton insisted that, while the number of occupants of the Poor-House had been only about half what it was formerly, the dry-goods and other bills were not diminished. Ho also complained that the quantity of meat served out daily two pounds to each man was altogethor too large. Ho did not wish to impugn Mr. Reynolds' honesty, but he thought that something was wrong, and that it should lie explained at the earliest possible opportunity.

During its visits to the Poor-House the Committee had frequently noticed that it was a very dillicult matter to gain information regarding the quantity of goods used and the manner of their distribution. Mr. Reyuolds said that ho knew nothing of the disposition made cf tho goods which he supplied to the different deoartmeiitftof tho place after they had passed from his hands, Wth regard to the difficulty tbe Committee had had in obtaining definit information on the subject, ho stated that the bookkeeper who had beeo detailed from the Poor-House inmates to assist him was continually drunk, and did not attend pro perl to his duties. Mr. Purington If he is always drunk, why do you not report him to the Warden? Mr.

Reynolds said that tho Warden was fully acquainted with the bookkeeper failings; hence he had cot thought it worth while to report them. Mr. Senne remarked that he knew for a fact that no entry had been made tu the books of Mr. Revnolds' department since last May. Mr.

Reynolds acknowledged that such was the case. Mr. Purington then informed Mr. Reynolds tbut the Committee was not satislied with the manner in which tho clerical part of bis labor was performed, and the gentleman withdrew, after makiag an appeal for retention in his position. The Commissioners present made no answer to this, but the probability is that they will recommend Mr.

Reynolds' removal at the next meeting of tho Board. the PltF.rAltlMl FOR THE EVENT. About 100 representative ierman residents of Chicago met last evening at Chlich's Hall in response to a call to consider the preliminaries of tho great National Sangerfest. which meets in this city next June. The Germans are deeply-interested in the success of this grand musical feast, and propose thus early to provide means to entertain their brethren from abroad.

Mr. William Floto was elected Chairman, and in taking the chair made a few remarks upon the necessity of prompt and efficient action pun the part musical fraternity of Chicago looking to a successful reunion. He advised a spirit of liberaiitv iu all their arrangements, to the end that tho Sangerfest of liSl might be a grand success. Mr. Alfred Bucher was called for, and stated that it had already been ascertained that St, Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, ami other cities won lil send delegations of singers, and that, although nothing like tho necessary amount of monov had beeu raised to properly carry out tho elaborate program which won Id be arranged, vet there wua a fund of $900 ou hand to commence with.

He advised the appointment of a committee of forty-live to solicit contributions, and also several smaller committees on trans-lortation, entertainment, etc. Mr. Bueher also moved the appointment of a Committee on Permanent i Irganization. Mr. Rubens thought the time had not arrived for such organization.

He therefore moved that the question of permanent organization be deferred until a meettug could Ins held at which the various elements could be united, whose cooperation was necessary to insure success, and without whose cooperation, in his opinion, success could not be attained. The matter was discussed at some length, and it was finally determined to postpone action until a later day. Among those present were Hans Balatka, Charles F. Wagner, Harry Rubens, William Floto. Alfred Buchor, Bernard Bautn, and Gus-tave Meyer, After detailing a Ion? list of cures made by the loudly praLsed St.

sure to make his appearance every few months in Philadelphia: aud he had a most unassuming way of making his approaches to tho hearts of sympathizing friends; but somehow or other Lucretia would discover if he needed mouey, and his need would be supplied. In isj Garrison, who had been converted by Lundy, went from Vermont to join Luudyin the publication of his paper at Baltimore. GAKBISON had a sharper way of setting forth his v'ewsthan Lundy had, and he called a fellow-townsman of Newbury port a pirate for being engaged in the slave trade between Baltimore aud New Orleans, and thereby he got into jail. Arthur Tappan net him free by paying his fine, and he left the Baltimore jail pretty well stirred up a to bis future career, Vowing eternal hostility tx slavery and to all its supporters. He wrote up his indignation iu an address.

probably much of it had been done within the walls of his cell, where he wrote that beautiful sonnet to tho Free Mind." And as ho came on his way North from the jail he stopped at Philadelphia, and visited tho friend of bis friend Lundy, Lucretia Mott. This was his first introduction to her. He wanted to deliver his address, and begin to make that stir which he had vowed to And she got him an opportunity at the Green street, meeting, where she herself had began to hold forth. He pulled out his manuscript and went through with it. Mrs, Mott says it was, of course, a very strongly -written production, but delivered without animation.

LUCRETIA WAS Aft ORATOR, and knew how it should be done. She said to her young friend: William, if thee expects to set forth thy cause by word of mouth then must lay aside thy paper and trust to the leading of tbe spirit." This was a good hint to Garrison. He atterwards became an effective speaker, to set forth the marvelously tolling sentences that came from his pen. If Garrison had not been au Abolitionist, his fame as a writer would long ago hare gone throughout the land. He was not surpassed in forcible sentences and in the power of denunciation by even Junius.

The husband of Mra. Mott was in perfect accord with her. As early as 1812 he refused to use any article that was the product of slave labor. Many years after this be established a store in Philadelphia for tbe sale of free-labor goods, it being a very difficult matter then to procure such in cotton productions.
