Our fall and intensely interesting special dispatch from Washington comes from our special telegraphic correspondent, whose position is such that he cannot he deceived as to the intentions of the President and his Cabinet We offer it to our readers as the summary of the present plans of the Cabinet, and as conclusive of the scope and aim of Republican policy.

In connection with this matter, we may be permitted to say that dissatisfaction with the meagerness of the information us by the arrangement of the associated Press, and with the unreliability of that dished up by the sensation papers of the metropolis, we have determined to incur the great expense of a special correspondent at the of government, and daily special dispatches copious enough to give our readers a correct idea of all passing events which have a bearing upon the great issues now presented to the people of the West. We need not say that the expense of all this is heavy; bat we rely upon the friendship and generosity of our friends to make us whole. For them we labor. BOABD OF PUBLIC WORKS. The new chart that one member of the Board of Public Works shall be taken from each Division of the city.

It does not say that each Division shall elect one: The whole Board will be elected on a general ticket This is right and proper. In making nominations to-morrow, the Convention should observe the same rule. The whole Convention should pass upon the merits of each candidate, selecting one from each Division. As the candidates have to stand a poll in all the Divisions, so the Convention should act as a unit in its scrutiny and selection of the candidates. By adopting this mode, the party will have additional safe-guards against imposition.

A cunning, unscrupulous trickster might readily manage to secure a majority of the delegates of the Division in which he lives, and yet be a very unpopular candidate and unfit to be elected. He might be very obnoxious to the people of the other Divisions, ani in consequence be defeated and drag the rest of the ticket down with him. But let the whole Convention make choice of each candidate, and these dangers will be in a great degree removed or avoided. The selection of a Board of Public Works is altogether too important a matter to be left to the management and disposal of selfish and corrupt demagogues. Three of the very purest and best of Chicago's citizens should be nominated and elected.

"Will our people pay a few hours attention to this matter, and see that it is done right We can only give them honest advice; it is for the citizens and tax payers to act. ABSCONDED, All our readers have heard of Hie funny Hibernian who described his visit to a house, by saying, Be jabers, an before ever I got my feet within the door, kicked me out, they did, to The case of Arizona is not dissimilar. Arizona, which was never in the Union in any proper and legal sense under the Constitution of the United States gone out of the Union and has discarded the Constitution. A fast people they are out there. The net cost of that enterprising but inchoate sovereignty, was, when the territory was purchased, ten millions of dollars, in lawful coin to certain speculators paid, the receipt of which was never acknowledged.

Certain items to be added for government, militaiy expeditions, surveys, Indian affairs, mails, make the total, we assume, not far from twenty pretty dowry for such a daughter. But copper-heads, rattlesnakes, sandy deserts and Yumas and Camanche Indians are expensive luxuries in these days! We ought to be glad that Arizona has quit The purchase of the Territory was an unblushing (rand, in the beginning; it has been the sink into -which much good money has since then gone down its taking off is a bit of robbery unparalleled since Texas went off, and Louisiana and Florida seceded. Now let the handful of white men and their peons fight their Indians, carry their own mails, make their own surveys and hoe their own potatoes generally.

John P. Chapin declares his adhesion to the Hepobliean party and his support of the Administration of Abraham lancoln. Of course, in doing so, he separates his connexion with the artful Democrats, who have made unjustifiable use of his name, for the purpose of giving them the control of the fat places in the city government Well done, Sir! VIRGINIA. LOTALIT. The following infamous resolution passed the Virginia Convention on Wednesday.

It describes exactly the position of the Chicago Times, and harmonizes with the views of the Democratic candidates on the bogus Union ticket, which it so warmly supports: Richmond, April 10. The following resolution was adopted by the Convention to-day; will await reasonable Hinw for an answer to her propositions, but with the indispensable condition that a pacific policy be adopted towards the seceded to attempt to subject them to Federal authority, nor reinforce the forts, or recsptnre forts, arsenals, or other property, or exact payment of duties, and that all forts in seceded States ought to be The plain English of this resolution is, that Virginia pledges herself to hold the Federal Government while Jeff. Davis and his disunion confederates cut its throat! Virginia will wait a reasonable time for the South to coerce the North into her disgraceful pro-slavery demands. She will leave the Union if those exactions are not granted, hut with the that, while the free States are making up their minds to accept or reject the terms dictated, the Federal Government shall be gagged, handcuffed, and put under bonds to allow Jeff Davis and Co. to do just as they please.

There is to he no reinforcing or provisioning of Fort Sumter or Pickens; no collection of Federal revenues in seceded States; but on the contrary all the said forts must he evacuated, the right of secession granted, and the independence of new Dahomey Such are the market terms of the class of people in Virginia who call themselves Peace and Union Delegates. IS We have a class of men in this vciy city who correspond exactly with those Virginia Cow-Boya and Tories, many of them are from the same State, and the others have been inoculated by the same virus. Next Tuesday they expect to cany the municipal election of Chicago, hy sailing under false colors. The Unionism to which they are devoted is exactly of the stripe of the Richmond article. Let every honest and patriotic manheware of the wolves in clothing.

The true and only Union men are those who uphold and support the President and his administration in their efforts to maintain the Constitution and enforce the others are bogus and enemies of their counter. important Announcement. Editors Tribune my absence from the city, I find that I have been placed before the public for an office that I am not and have not been a candidate for, by a selfbrought constituted committee, composed mainly of the leading Democrats of the city, under the guise of Union men. I am, and have been for some time, a candidate for the office of Commissioner of the Board of Public Works, end being a Republican, I shall submit my claims to a Republican Convention, and no other. I am convinced that this Union Ticket was gotten up by Democrats, and that they have used the Union dodge to draw off a sufficient number of votes (which they know cannot be obtained by open and fair means,) in the hope of electing themselves to the most important offices In the gift of the people.

Plain Words to Whom it may Con- The Republican primary elections will be held this afternoon in the different Wards, at the places named in the published call A general turn-out of all true Republicans is desired. We want the rank and file to take the management of this City Convention into their own hands this time. We hope that schemers and tricksters will be told that their services are not needed on this occasion. The cry of has been so often heard that many people begin to think there is good cause for it. It is true that the prince of cliques and pahaia is the one who has made the most noise about It; but that help the matter.

Let us have a Convention so fairly and squarely held that not even the father of cliques can bring that charge against its proceedings. It is desirable that the Ward Committees shall provide plenty of paper and pens so that every Republican citizen may make np his own ticket for delegates; or, that he may change or scratch as many names on the printed tickets offered him, as he desires. We earnestly hope that each voter will he careful to have no delegates on his ticket but the very best and most respectable men of his acquaintance in his Ward. A little circumspection on the part of each voter will weed out the scaley names, and thereby save present trouble and fixture loss. Brine Oat Strone Ken.

The most important candidates to be nominated to-morrow are the three Commissioners of the Board of Public Works. Each one of them is of greater interest to the city than Mayor. There should be more care and circumspection exercised in their choice than in selecting candidates for all other places. A high order of executive ability and sound judgment, and integrity above suspicion, should all be combined in the candidates. And to these qualities must he added personal popularity.

Our Convention should nominate not only first class men, but men who possess the confidence, respect, and esteem of their fellow citizens, to the end that they may be elected as well as nominated. More Scrip Afloat. Editors of Tribune The Mayor announced with a tremendous flourish of trumpets one day this week, that he had paid off all claims against the city, and had $97,000 oyer in cash. If any one bad a claim he desired the party to bring it on and have it cashed, as the Treasury was flush. How does this profession tally with the case I am about to relate? I am creditably informed that E.

J. Wentz settled with the Mayor and Comptroller yesterday for some building arrears, and that he was allowed the sum of $937.08, and was paid in city scrip. The sum due him was put into two pieces of scrip; one piece, for $88.44, dated back to May 1,1860, payable May 1,1861, and bearing 10 percent, interest for a whole year, though it has only twenty days to ran. The other piece is dated April 11, 1861, and payable on the first of Hay next How does this transaction tally with the boast that all the claims were, or would be, paid in cash? How many more such pieces of scrip arc afloat, and made payable just when the term of office expires The town is said to be full of this uttered and kited by our liberty and economy Mayor, and left for his successor to care while he is going about the street boasting that he has ran the city government for seven and a half mills. When the whole troth comes out, it will be found that it has cost nearer seventeen than seven mills.

In the course of an interview with, Indian Commissioner Dole last eveiimg, the President Raid that he did not expect any decisive events to occur in Charleston harbor before to-morrow (Friday).

He also remarked that the country will then see whether they dare to fire upon an unarmed vessel carrying relief to onr starving soldiers. He expressed butlittle hope for peace, and intimated a determination to relieve Major Anderson and hold other Southern forts at aU hazards. Washington was again fall of warlike din to-day. Pennsylvania avenue looked like a military camp all the afternoon. Enrollment of volunteers into the United States service, from the ranks of the District militia, was continued.

Upwards of 1000 men have already enlisted. A whole regiment of inihntry and five companies of cavalry will be organized. The oath of allegiance was administered to the troops in order to purge them of disunionists. About one-seventh of those that paraded refused to take the oath. The recruits were ignominionsly marched back to the armories amidst hisses of spectators, disarmed and stricken from the roll OPINIONS OF THE COUNTRY The President continues to receive enthusiastic congratulations from men of all parties, in all sections of the North, on the firm stand he has taken.

An address to the President offering the services of thenon-residentsojonmers, in defence of the Capital, was circulated to-day and signed by nearly one thousand individuals. Ulinolsens were foremost in the movement. The Department Clerks are also about organizing companies. Collector Barney and a number of prominent financial and commercial men arrived from New York to-day. They all agree that a majority of their business men are to see the former state of uncertainty ended and matters brought to a head; and that the determination to assert the Federal authority excites confidence rather despondency.

It is now positively known that the President never for a moment tho tight of surrendering Fort Sumter, and that while all other Members of the Cabinet were ready to recognize the military necessity of svacnation, Mr. Blair opposed it from the start. COL. LAiION, o. B.

DENIO, LIEUT. ELLSWOBTH. Col. Lamon was sworn in to-day as District Marshal. Denio will bo appointed Master Mason at Island Naval Station, Cob Ellsworth is drilling the District militia.

Everybody expects to hear of the roar of artillery in Charleston harbor to-morrow. The Republicans lament, but are ready for Dispatches to the Cincinnati Papers. Washington, April 10. the The movement of so many volunteer troops thus suddenly, was soon by the fact that Gen. Scott, through Adjutant Stone, had ordered seven companies to be mustered into the United States service, and.

remain in active duty until ordered to report at the War Department- Quite a number'of volunteers resigned on this step being taken; others, who were more anxious to know the duties to be assigned them, and the time they would probably be in the ranks, were informed by the War Department that the Government desired no soldiers who asked questions. At three the companies were reviewed by the Secretary of Wax, when one company was dispatched to guard the Virginia end of the long bridge; a detachment of another was put inside the Patent Office, while others are under arms awaiting orders. Most of them will guard the Department offices, the Capitol and the house to-night. WHY PRECAUTIONS HAVE SEEK It has been widely rumored that Gov. Wise was in the city, and that Ben McCulloch was at Alexandria, but investigation shows no truth in the statement.

The Government has sent agents to Alexandria and places lower down in Virginia, but can find signs of no suspicious movements. Still Gen. Scott says he has reliable inlormation showing that these precautions are necessary. He is of the opinion that martial law will yet de declared here, though ho hopes that no inconvenience will arise from the steps already taken. cern.

The scene at the War Department was very fine during the grand review. It was witnessed by quite a number fromthe windows of the White House, while thousands crowded the streets, all anxious to know if we were going to have war in Washington. Gen. Cameron did not review the troops, but they were inspected by Assistant Adjutant General McDowell, of the U. 8.

Army. During this review, the people, who have been anxious to hear from Fort Sumter all day, forgot it and seemed to fear that equally important events were going on nearer home. WASHINGTON AT UNA- The excitement to-night is unabated. The evening papers came out in great sensation style foil of rumors which served to feed the public appetite, andincrease the general alarm. It Is quite Impossible to say what we may expect next, for the city has not witnessed such scenes in its history, not excepting the time of the John Brpwn raid.

The events about Charleston have momentarily absorbed all other matters of interest. Fort Pickens is, however, likely to attract 'equal attention in less than five days. The Administration is satisfied that the appearance of the vessels which sailed from New York will signalize an attack upon the Fort the rebels. The Administration is in possession of positive information thowing that a surprise of the Federal Capital has been seriously contemplated by secession sympathizers, and. hence lelt in duty bound to provide additional protection of the public property under its care.

mu- policy has been misunder- In Justice to the President it should be stated that although the majority oi his Cabinet advised him to recognize the military necessity, and evacuate Fort Sumter, he was at no time fully prepared to submit to the humiliation of surrendering the Federal property to the Southern rebels. The amende honorable is due him by the press that attributed other intentions to him. ANOTHER WARLIKE DISPATCH FROM A CINCIN- A leading Democrat telegraphed to Gurley last night We are for the President to the death, if he will hold Fort Sumter. The necessity of holding it is PEESISTBKOT OP OFFICE SEEKERS. The prospect of civil war has rendered the onslaught of office-seekers upon the Executive none the less fierce.

There is an increase rather than a decrease of the crowds that daily while away the weary hours in patient expectation in the ante-rooms of the White House. The-President is said to have humorously remarked this morning that he would henceforth require all applicants to demonstrate their patriotism by serving three months at Forts Sumter' and Pickens. The announcement of this resolution would doubtless cause the last of these hungry gentry to vanish from vision. Boston, April T. Buckingham died this morning, aged 34 years.

Miss Dresser spoke clearly and with good elocution, was dressed in black silk, low necked, and a lace cap, with but little effort at ornamentation.

The case of the city of Chicago against John Johnson, one of the persons charged with dis-. orderly conduct in attempting to secure the person of one Hays, who had been Instrumental in giving information concering the whereabouts of the Harris family, came before the Police Court, Juetice Aiken, yesterday morning, the remainder of the defendants to appear this morning, and by consent of counsel, to be tried by one jury. Chancellor L.

Jenks, appeared forthe prisoners, and C. M. Willard, Esq. for the prosecution. A jury consisting of the following persons was called by an officer of the Court, to hear the case: John Sanders, W.

H. Simmons, Geo. Holt, F. Miltenger and Michael Hart. The charge was simply disorderly conduct.

As the principal weight of the case made by the prosecution is contained in the testimony of Adolph Miller, the officer who arrested the defendant, we give his evidence in full. Miller testified as follows: Adolph Miller Am a Policeman I arrested Johnson in iront of the Armory; he was up on Wells street raising a disturbance, and trying to get the colored man Hays out; was saying at the place, nigger mast come ont, dead or a man by the name of Hays was np stairs; there were five or six hundred colored persons there when we took him ont; Johnson was there awhile before and when I left with the prisoner; said that Hays had informed some kidnappers, and they were going to take some slaves away South; they talked about gettting Hays ont and punishing him; prisoner was there part of the time, bat had left when we went in; mere were eight or ten officers there; we told them to disperse, bat not while this man was there; Johnson said Days had informed, and he mnst be got out, dead or alive; they were all trying to pet him out; five or six men were standing at foot of stairs trying to break open the door; it was afterwards tnat Johnson made the remark; defendant aas in the crowd outside at time; the noise made was calculated to disturb the peace of the city, and two women living up stairs came out and asked ns to use onr endeavors to disperse the mob; this was between 10 and 11 one week ago last Monday, on south Wells street, between Polk and Taylor. were a good many white people there, and they were oil talking; I did not arrest any whites prisoner was very near me, and I heard him make the remark; he followed after us with the crowd to the Armory, and came skulking about again at 2 when I recognized and took him custody. Testimony was also heard from T. A.

Ranstead, John Cooper, officer Beach, and a colored boy by the name of Elijah Hull, when the case was closed. Speeches of counsel were then made, in the course of which some pretty sparring was indulged in by both parties, and the case was given to the jury about IF. M.
