Thero is no Bection of Brooklyn where more good may be accomplished than in the 12th and 6th wardB, and no tax payer will object to a good round appropriation by the Common Council for this Hall.

May tbe blessing of the sainted dead, as in his dally vigils, his invisible spirit broods over the people, rest gently but abundantly upon this Society and its nsw Hall; and may it be speedly followed by like structures all over the country, blessing and improving the race of Celts who so long have waited for the freedom of their native land. TRAVEL IN THE AIR. A New Flying Machine Men as Birds.

From tho Journal of Commerce. A flying machine of novel form is now in process ot construction at Hoboken for the United 8tatea Government. It was commenced during tbe war, and was intended for use in aerial reconnoissahce? of the enemy's position. The war is over, but the machine is going on till its success or failure is an established fact. The idea of tbe invention is an old one, bat this is the first time that an attempt has been made to put it into practice.

The government was induced to embark iu tbe enterprise upon the strength of certain experiments made by the late distinguished General (and Professor) Mitchell. He had long been interested la the subject of aerial navigation, and believed that tbe principle of screw propulsion could be made to work in air as well as in water. His first and only point was to demonstrate the lifting power of a screw fan moving horizontally at different rateB of speed. The experimental fan waa placed upon a pole as an axis, up and down which it could move freely. The fan was then made to revolve at various rates of speed ot tho pleasure of the operator.

At one rate it would merely lift Itself; at another rate it would raise twice its own weight; at another three times; and so on, until tho fact was ascertained by comparison tbat a fan with blades of 20 feet diameter, revolving at a certain rate of speed, would raise six tons and bave considerable power to spare. It is only a child's toy upon a large scole. We see every day in the streets toy venders who give a quick twirl with a string to a little fan upon a stick, and lo 1 it shoots into the air to a height of 20 or 30 feet, and descends slowly, still revolving as it comes down. The government toy as some persons will probably call it is a cigar shaped canoe, built of copper, with iron ribs. An engine Is placed in tho centre with sufficient power to work a Bcrew ian with 20 feet blades.

There are four fans connected with the engine one below, one above the ci noe, and ono at each end. The upper and lower faos ore worked together to produce an ascent; and tho ter initial lane aro made to revolve together or separately in tbe same direction, or in opposite directions, for the purpose of propelling the craft horizontally. The weight of the whole, fully equipped and manned, is about six tons. It is otaimetl by those upon whose recommendation the machine is constructed, tbat it can be guided through the air with as muoh easo as a veBsel through the water. This is conditional of course to some extent upon tha wind.

If a veBBel can be propelled through still air at a given number of miles per hour, it may be made to Btom a wind of an equal number of miles per hour. If the power of a head wind, exceeds or is leas than the pro pelilng power, the machine actually falls back or pro greBseB in exact proportion to the difference between tbe powers. This truth should be borne in mind in considering all schemes for alr salllng. An accompliahed government officer is superintending the work, and hopes to have it done in a monib, when tho pretensions of the new flying machiuo will bo tested. Mr.

Solomon Andrews, of Perth Amboy, N. whoso remarkable achievements In aeronautics have beou certified to by a number of unimpeachable witnesses, is ready with a proposition, which may enlist the interest of specu minds. Tho invention of which Mr. Andrews is tho undisputed father, is a cigar shaped balloon or rather three balloons fiaiened together like a trilobite filled with hydrogen gas. A car, in which the aeronaut Bits, is hung below this.

The long, flat balloon is so arranged that either end of it can be depressed or elevated at will, while a rudder, with a large surfaco, enables the voyager to steer his air ship. The contrivance Is not dependent upon tho wind for its lateral motion, like tho ordinary bulloon. The principle upon which it is operated in still air is as follows; Ono end of the pointed gas vcssela 1b elevated at an onglo of (say) forty degrees, the other end being depressed and kept in position by shifting ballast The machine then rises obliquely in a direction which iB tbe reBUitont of two forces, ono tho ascending power of the gas, and tho other the resistance of the atmosphere. When a suficlentheigbthas been attained, tbe ballast is shifted again, and tho elevated end of tbe balloon is depressed, At tho same time, a email quantity of gas is allowed to eBcapo, and the machine descends, obliquely, still following tho general linool direction of the ascent. On nearing the earth, a quantity of bal laBt is thrown out from the aeronaut's car, the balUat of tho balloon again shifted, aud up Bbe goes; and so on until gas aud oar halla't aro both expended The gene eral Jaw exiressod above with regard to wind applios'to Ibis as to all other flying machines.

If by oblique ascension in still air it makes a given speed per bour.it will stem a bead wind moving at the same rate of speed. Tbe testimony to the success of Mr. Androws' invention is (as we have said) abundant and positive from those who saw him ascend to the clouds and curvot and pirouette through tho air, with perfect freedom and as much safety as could bo asked of a balloon excursion, To this evidence are now addod the scientiflo opinions of Piof Bache of the Coast Survey, Joseph Henry Secretary of the Smithsonian luBtituto aud Major WoodruS ot the V. 8. a commission appointed by Secretary Stanton, who, after a thorough Investigation of tbe lasts, united iu recommending tho government to moke a Bultablo appropriation to build a large machiuo for army use.

Tbis was in July, 1S61, Tho report went before the Congressional Military Committee who quietly entombed it; aud it was not bforo March of (he present year that Mr. Andrews could find out tho fate of the ofler which he bad made to tbe government, of the tree use of bis invention during tbe war. Mr. Andrews nov looks to pilvate enterprise to do what the government was not in ibe humrr to undertake. Ho wants to raise money to build an Aeieon "and prove her by ono trip, and return between New York and Philadelphia.

Ho does not ask contributor's to tbe fund to accompany him, but will assume all thepersonal risks of the voyage himself to which part of the proposition few will object. While these revolutionary experiments in locomotion aro going on here, tbe British aeronauts' 'are not idle. At a recent meeting of tho Britlsfl Polytechnic Association, a Mr. Barbour stated that by using compressed oaibohic acid gas, ho had obtain ed one and a half horse power from an iron engine which weighed with all its auxiliary apparatus only 450 lbs. An engine of aluminum would weigh only one third aB much.

The gaa reservoir was strong enough to bear 5,000 lbs. to the inch, and the gas that could be forced into it would suffice to drive the engine an hour and twenty minutes. Mr. Barbour proposes to use such an engine In propelling an air ship by revolving spiral fans, upon the plan ot tbe ona building at Hoboken; and at onoe gets rid of all tho difficulties resulting from a heavy steam engine or hot air engine, furnaces, tc. His soheme waa looked upon not unfavorably by some of the English scientific journals.

Tho trouble about all these inventions is not so much to convince intelligent men that machines can be made to fly, as to get intelligent men to fly with the machines. There's the rub. Amusements. The Pabk Theatre. "The Prodigal Son" gaining upon better acquaintance in the good graces of the publio will be repeated for a few nights longer.

We are again called upon to correct an erroneous impression which appears to bave unaccountably got into the heads of tbe public, We are getting to be ashamed of the public; a short time ago the public didn't know the Park Theatre was open until Manager Hitchcook told ihem, now tbe stupid publio is under the impression that Brother Hitchcok is the manager instead of riisui'j5 manager as will be Eeen by tbe following CARD TO THE PUBLIC. An impression seems to prevail that I hare relinquished the management of the1 Park Theatre for the summer, and tbat Mr, Hitchcook haB assumed the re epcnBibility; I beg to assure tfy friends and patrons that tuch not the cate. I am tho tole lesiee and mana gertu, and have never contemplated retiring. Mr. Hitchcock is under my control as bueineit manager.

For the nogroesattbe South, if allowed to vote, will be no purer and no more nninflu enced" than voters at the North. On tho contrary, they will, ofnecessity, vote as as their employers vote, and as long as they aro a dependent race, they will follow and not lead. More than this, will tho anti Democratic men, who favor negro suffrage as a means of keeping down tho Democratic party, please explain on what principle the negro at the South, who votes on independent principles, can possibly vote for any other party than the Democratic, i Can he be persuaded that a high protective tariff is for his good? Can he be taught that paper money is better than bard dollars? Can he be initiated into, the mysteries of National Banks? This is worth thinking about. The negro suffrage idea must not be adopted by men in haste, to erect an anti Democratic party. The chances aro ten to one that the negro, at his own permanent residence in the South, will vote the Democratio ticket." The admission of the negro to the full privileges of white citizens is advocated by men who claim thSt only in this way can harmony be maintained between both races, but in the admission that the negroes will vote with a party which never had any.

existence in the South, it is shown that the success of the Republican party can only be maiutaioed by keeping up an irrepressible conflict between the races. A party which hopes for success through its ability to keep alive discontent is too costly a luxury to be sustained, and sooner or later the American people will come to this conclusion. Effects oi the Hot Weather. The heated term is provocative of personal discomfort and irritation, for which some allowance may be made, but its effects on some of tho editorial fraternity hereabouts are really alarming. The New York editors are on a fearful "rampage" and did we not feel assured that these terrible fellows are not addicted to shedding anything more sanguinary than ink, we should consider it our duty to ceil upon the authorities to bind them over to keep the peace.

The Tribune accuses the World of "doing the devil's work" in this community. The World accuses the Fuelling Post and Herald of undermining the public credit by preparing the public mind for a repudiation of the national debt. The 2fews devotes all its energies and nearly the whole of its space to demolishing the Herald, holding up Bennett as a monster of iniquity and the arch enemy of Irishmen and Catholics. Not to be behindhand in the dirty business of degrading the press, our weak witted local cotem poraries have been snarling at the Eagle for a week past. The seven by nine concern in the E.

D. is in a fearfully frantic state; the chap who runs the concern is evidently qualifying himself for another retirement to his rural retreat at Flatbush. It would be dangerous to let him run at large much longer. The Shoddy organ faintly chimes in chorus. We let these little concerns yelp away, on the princi pie of the good natured tar, who let his wife beat him because it amused her and didn't hurt him.

If they hadn't the Eagle to abuse these sheets would die of inanity. But something is due to public decency and to the good name of the profession, and if this sort of thing is continued we shall call upon the authorities to extend the dog ordinance and have these scolding scribes niuazled during the warm weather to abate a nuisance. Shoddy. The Tribune this morning gives its readers a very faithful pen and ink sketch of the shoddy patriots of the country a class largely represented in Brooklyn: The natural, genuine rebel is a bad egg; tbero was scarcely a blackleg, libertine, rowdy or profligate in the South who was not one of them, or in the who did sot wish them success; hat the reveler in Shoddy was a more hypocriticol.delestabie scoundrel, in that he oftener oflected patriotism if not piety alao, and, while Bebel was sairing at the throat of Uncle Sam, Shoddy was picking his pocketoften with his eyeB turned up to heaven and with protestation of loyalty on his lips the incorrlglDle villain. Several bave been cashiored from high official truBts for swindling their country when she was on lie very brink of rum; others have just escaped a similar late by hiring Senators and other "big bugs" to engineer for tbero as "counsel," of course As building monuments seems now in vogue, we suggest the erection nf a pyramid on which the names of all these gentry shall be chiseled'deep in everlasting stone with the amount of each man's stealings debited op; posite his title.

A good portion of our moneyed ariatoc. racy might be thus iavored; while our "first families" of following ages might traco back their pedigree to one or more ancestors hero emblazoned, being thus enabled to establish a strong presumption of hereditary talent for finance. No, Mr. Cookel you must not prove the magnates of Shoddy entitled to popular gratitude, or you will compel us to dissent from your theory, if only to avoid this deteBted deduction. "Take any form but tint!" England has followed France in withholding belligerent lights from the Confederacy for the good reason that there is no longer any confederacy, belligerent or otherwise.

In defense of England, in giving belligerent rights to the South, the London Times says: 'Belligerency is a fact which mayor not be recognized; hot when it ceases to exist it can, of course, no longer admit of recognition. At the outset of tho war the Proclamation of President Lincoln blockading the ports of the South would have forced us to recognize the belligerent character of the Confederacy had no other reason required tho step to bo taken. The Federal government announced its in intention of exercising rights which were in fact the rights of a belligerent, aud one belligerent implies another. President Johnson, in the interest of foreign commerce, still recognizes the privileges of neutrals attempting to trade with the porta of Texas. Wetnpo that tho moderation of tho President wiii not be unrewarded, and that English vessels will not be found attempting to enter Galveston aud BrownBville." Mayor Wood, it is reported, has vetoed the resolution of the Aldermen endorsing the action already taken by the.

Committee on Renaming and Re numbering the streets. We trust that the Mayor's veto will have the effeot ot stopping this bad scheme1 altogether. The $10,000 appropriated is said to bo all gone. Thero is no use in throwing good money after bad. Genebal Sueemak Denounced as a Cop.

pel head." The Philadelphia News, a Repub lican Shoddy paper, copies approvingly an article from the Spirit of the Times in which General Sherman is denounced as a Copperhead, "and ridiculed as a "suspicious blunderer," "a creature of ridiculous efforts," and of antics and Reconstruction. President Johnson has appointed James Johnson Provisional Governor of Georgia, and Alex. J. Hamilton Provisional Governor of Texas, and directed these gentlemen to reconstruct the government of their respective States on the same basis as is established in the case of North Carolina. A Singular Case Is it Mtjbdeb ob Suicide I On Sunday morning the body ol Mr.

George 0. Maun, Btationer, No. 141 Fulton street, Hew York, and residing at No. 130 Willow street, Brooklyn, was picked up in the river, near Fulton Ferry. It appears that on Saturday he visited Central Park, and returned about 9 o'clock in tbe evening.

His wife uw him Bitting on the front stoop and asked him to come in, when he replied rather abstractedly, No, I'm going homo," Mrs. Maun thought the observation a very strange one at the time, De got up immediately thereafter and passed down tho street, and that was the last seen of him alive. It is barely possible that ho may have fallen oyer accidentally, or, perhaps, robbed and pushed over. His pocketbook and two pairs of gold epeotacles, which he usually carried, were gone. It is not known how much money ho had in hia possession.

There appears to bo no reason why he should have committed suicide; still his peculiar language and actions when he returned home would lead to that impression. It is thought that during his visit to Central Pari tho sun may have' temporarily affected his brain. Coroner Lynch will examine into tie circumstances tO'day. Long Island Items.

Negro Suffiage and Political Parties. Bofore the actual commencement of hostilities between the North and South, numbers of men believed that war was the worst way to secure a solution of the difficulties between the people of the two Bections. The extreme radicals, represented by the New York Tribune, would have consented to a dissolution of the Union, rather than go to war for its preservation. It was the manner by which secession was effected, rather than secession itself, which the Tribune condemned. If you can Bhow ns, said the Tribune very distinctly, addressing the political leaders of the South, that a majority of your people decide for dissolving the connection of the Southern States with the UnioB, compatible with our belief in the great truth enunciated in the Declaration of Independence that governments are of right based on the consent of the governed, we cannot prevent you by force.

If you desire to leave, we shall be sorry for it, but go, and God speed you. The Democratic party of this State, on the other hand, met in Convention, at Albany, in 1861, and resolved that there should be no war. The Democratio party, bo far as it was represented in the Convention held at Albany, would have compromised the questions at issue to preserve the Union; rather than compromise the position taken by the Republican parly, the Tribune and its followers would have accepted disunion. This is, we believe, loir statement of the feeling of the majority of the two great political parties in 1860 1. The Tribune's opposition to war was based on the belief that even if war was successful it would not restore the Union; Democratie opposition to the commencement of hostilities grew out of the belief that the public liberties would not survive a war between the two sections, and that though the South might be conquered, the principles which lay at the base of our system of government would be overturned in its conquest, and in the attempt to hold the Southern States in the Union by force.

The opinion of neither party has been justified by the logic of events. How can you, the Tribune asked in 1860, compel the Southern States to send members to congress, assuming that all opposition, except that which is merely passive, is put down The Tribune is to day puzzled to know in what way it can throw obstacles in the way of the white men of the South Bending members to Congress o( their own choiee. The Southern people have accepted their defeat with almost entire unanimity. The Tribune feared that Southern men would not exercise the rights of citizenship. It is now troubled because they evince a general desire to do so.

The radical journals are full of complaints, not that the machinery of the government is useless because of the reluctance of the South to put it in motion, but because of their unanimous desire to do so. In 1861 there was no way of saving the Eepublican party, in the opinion of the Tribune, except by going to war or by consenting to a division of the Union. In 1865, there is no way, in the opinion of the Tribune, of preserving the ascendancy of the Eepublican party, except by securing for the negro the right to vote in the Southern States, though as President Johnson says, we are clearly forbidden by the Constitution from determining the question for the States mainly interested in its settlement. The chief argument urged in favor of giving the ballot to the negro is that his assistance is needed to save those who were loyal to the Union in the South from oppression at the hands of those lately in rebellion. But the so called Southern loyalists had, under shadow of military power, lull authority to determine the question in Louisiana, Missouri and Tennessee, but in none of these States, under their revised constitutions, has the ballot been given to the negro.

The constitution lately presented for adoption or rejection to the people of Missouri was favored by men who claimed a monopoly of the loyalty of the State. The convention which passed the constitution enacted that no man who had by act or word aided the rebellion should have a right to vote, aud yet no provision was ninde for negro suffrage. The power of the State over the question of the rights of its citizens is very forcibly illustrated in the case of Missouri. President Johnson has, by proclamation, decided that with certain exceptions all who take an oath of allegiance shall be restored to all their rights as citizens of the United States. But in Missouri it is decreed that no man who has by aot or word aided the rebellion shall be entitled to exercise his former privilege as a itizen of the State of Missouri.

This is in direct opposition to the President's policy, but the President has no power io interfere. He cannot' give white men whom has restored to their full rights as citizens if the United States, the privilege of voting ij Missouri, aud et he is asked to do for the black man in Virginia what ho caimot do for the white man anywhere. The President may believe that the future peace and prosperity of the country demand the restoration of repentant rebels, except in a few specified oases, and yet Missouri steps iu and says no, and the President must concede that Missouri has the power; to Bay so. Those who were lately in the rebel ranks, and who have been able and willing to accept the President's pardon, are to day citizens of the United States, and if in a foreign country any thing was done to them, the President would ba bound to protect them, if every soldier in the United States army, aud if every ship in the United States navy, were required for the purpose. Yet the President cannot give one of these men a privilege denied to them by their States.

It is a poor rule which does not work both ways. If the President can interfere in a business entrusted to the States, for the negro, he can for the white man. He may or may not believe in the policy of giving the negro the right of suffrage; he does believe in pardoning the great majority of those lataly in rebellion, but he cannot restore them to their former status in Missouri; how can he be asked, then, to interfere to give the negro a Status he never had, and which nobody, loyal or disloyal in the South, seems to ba willing to give him. If it can be shown that the admission of the negro to the full rights of citizenship will be of no advantage in a party sense, we believe the President need fear no opposition, The Journal of Commerce makes au attempt to show this, and its views are not unworthy of the consideration of those who desiro to profit by the votes of the negroes: "The amnesty proclamation has alreadv restored to' volinp, powers enough men to swoll the Democratic vole in the country to on immense majority over the Republican vote of last fall. To meet this' vary idea, a party eeems now determined to introduce negro suffrage in the South, so that the Democratic majority may be defeated.

is not this idea rather dabious? What is likely to bo the influence over negroes voting? Who that remembers old times in New York, can forgot that negroes aro vory apt lo vote wi their masters. Men who imasrine that there is to bo a negro paradise at the South, where the negro sill be an independent voter, acting on liigh moral principle, unswayed by scrdid and worldly influences, are very foolisn men. It the issues in the future were to be the old issues oi the past, then possibly there night be an array of negroes on the one side, all for one idea, against Blavery and slaveholders. Bat those issues are notio by. And this is tolerably certain, that the piindpleB of the Democratic party are very likely to p) adopted by the employers of labor lit the SPORTS AND P19TIMES.

Base Boll. Atlantic vs. Empire The Champions im ice FrELD, Tbe season of Base Ball has been opened now for some time, but the only challenge tbe AUantlca Lave received is from the Empire Club, and tho first game will be played on Wednesday afternoon, at Hoboken. Tbe Empire nine is represented as very Btrong, and their pitcher is announced as a veritablo "big thing." Tbat the Atlantlcs will be greeted with a large crowd ond good feeling, no one can doubt. What kind of a gome they will play, of courao, remains to bo seon.

It is a noticeable foot this season thus far, tbat bo many of the playtre overrun their basaj and slip awjy from It has been found, upon investigation, to arise from the fact of their playing without spisos. Com plaint is also made tbat shoes with spikes in, cannot bo obtained. Everv boll player Bhould wear shoes with good fpiles, ibat be con break up at short notice, and Btop BUort, without slipping down It will bo soon, by reference to the advertising columns of the Eagle, tbat Slater, No. 2 Courtland street, Now Yort, has constantly on hand Base Boll Bhoes. They ore just the things a ball player wonts, ond are put down at reasonable ratos.

Never attempt to play a game without boll shoes well spiked, or you may lose many runs through your neglect. Eckfoed vs. Union. The ex champions what is left of them will play a match with tno Union ol Morrieanio, on Wednesday next, at Morrisaoii. Tlio nine will embrace, Gram, Manolt Beach, Jos.

It was deferred from Jast Saturday, on account of the unavoidable absence from to of Borne of tho Enterprise. They did not leavotown "to recuperate their strength, for this match," as has been ungraciously remarked, To tell tbo truth, tbey don't need much recuperation for this game. Tbe Enterprise boye have never shirked a game, and when beaten, have submitted like true gcntlemon and noble feUows. Of conrBe they do not feol like going into a contest with only boll their men, ond suffer defeat therefor, and the? aro right. They would bo lully justified in a score of postponements, if they cannot get out a thorough nlio without.

ACRES OF TEMPERifllCE PfJOPLE. MUSir, ADDRESSES, CONTRIBUTIONS, Yesterday was a great gala day among the Father Matthew Temperance men, it being the day set apart for dedicating tbe new Temperance Hall, which has been erected by the Father Matthew Total Abstinence Benevolent Society No. 1, of Brooklyn. The new hall is a very neat, pretty building, composed of brick, with brown stone trimmings, 91 by 41 feet; occupying two lots of ground on Hamilton avenue, near Hicks street The crowd in attendance yesterday was very large indeed numbering not less than from 6,000 to 10,000 persons. From an early hour in the afternoon people began to throng ftom all sections of the Gth and 12th Wards, the locality where most of the members of No.

1 hail from, and by 2 o'clock, the hour for tbe commencement of the dedicatory services, the main building was thronged, as was also the basement and the Btreete in the vicinity, 'with temperance folks, anxious to hear what was said upon the great theme of Total AOBiinence. Among the audience, which filled the streets of the neighbor, hood, conspicuous, by music, banners, regalia; were Beveral visiting societies, viz: No. 2, of Brooklyn, Nob. 1 and 4 of New York, and No. 5, of Brooklyn, THE VISITING SOCIETIES looked very well, indeed.

Their regalias of green and gold, together with their new bassers, many of which were very haudBomeindeed, assisted by the eloquent notes of martial and other music, made the attractions of the hour still more and more marked. No. 2, of this city, looked and marched extremely well, and this is one of the largest and best managed societies iu the city No. 1, (the Parent Society of New York, turned out tolerably well, and attracted much attention, from the 'act of being the oldest organization in tbe country. No organizations have over done more good than IheBO same Father Matthew Societies.

Wherever one is pleased to go, for the study of their influence, he may observe bow very marked are the improvements among tbe claBBes brought into contact with them, Not alone in respeot' to pledge giving and receiving, but in the benefits attached, the Father Matthew Societies prove to be very excellent Savings Institutions. As an instance of the valuable work accomplished in Brooklyn alone, since No. 1 was started, just take A GLANCE AT THE TWELFTH WABD for five years. At that period Sundays seemed, from the habits of the citizens, to be a grand drunk day. Men, women, and often children, were daily seen all along Van Brunt and Columbia streets, and Hamilton avenue, more or less under the influence of liquor Fighting, brawling and assaults were constant and brutal, and the small body of police in charge, had their hands always foil.

No. 1 was started, and almost immediately a change was manifest. The appeals to the reasoning powers, by the speakers, soon convinced these poor followers that by abstaining from the use of liquor, they would bave fuller coffers, and live on more agreeable terms with their families and neighbors, aud tho little pledge of total abstinence, began to be taken very freely. Now, observe the contrast: No streets are freer from drunk en rows, or tbe sights of intoxicated men, women and children, than Van Brunt street or tho avenues contiguous. The neatness of the houses of the Father Matthew peojle, the cleanliness of their children, and their own cheerful, happy appearance, betoken how great and won derful has been tbe change.

All this change is due, not to the pulpit, for the clergy have been too much taken np with politics and the like, to preach on this subject; and besides, too frequently, they would stop rathor severely on somebody's toes in tho highest seats in the synagogue. Nor to any ordinances passed by the Legislature or Common Council; but Bololy and entirely to the Society, which yesterday dedicated their now hall. Ever since tho project of this new structure was originated, tho completion of the BUILDING WAS ATTENDED WITH DHTTSt7iTIE8. As in every other enterprise for good and charitable purposes, thero were found large numbers of doubting ones, who were always airatd it couldn't be done. After tbe thing was fairly started, there came a split in the Society, a large number starting another organization on Court and Sackett streets, under the title of the Young Men's Father Matthew T.

A. B. Society No. 1. This circumstance gave the croakers full vent to their oppo sition, and the doubting ones were even more sanguine of a failure.

But instead of injuring tho cauBe, this "split" was overruled for good. A new organization, in a Bection of the city much needed, was secured, and the old society began to augment its members largely. But lothing daunted, some of the leading spirits in No. 1 wore determined the building should go up; so all parties redoubled their exertions, with tho gratifying result already achieved. Another difficulty they labored un der was tho heavy taxation.

They made application to tho Legislature for a remission of taxes, but without avail. Tbis being clearly a charilablo institution, the Common Council should cancel their taxes and thus enable them tho better to get along. There are many public institutions receiving from $1,000 to $5,000 in donations from tho Common Council, of less need and worthiness than tbis building, and with a little help from tho Aldermen thoy can Bpoedily wipe out thoir debt. THE NEW TEMPERANCE HALL is a good sized building, 94 feet in depth by 44 feet in width. It is built of Philadelphia brick, with brown trimmings.

It is of Doric style of architecture, with a niche near (ho peak, in which is to be placed a statue of Eov. Theobald Matthew. There are but two rooms in the building, a largo basement hall, and the tempi6 room on the second floor; The main room will seat Eomc and about 2000 poisons oin be crowded in tho hall. It is well lighted by chandeliers suspended at reasonable distances, and a neoessary number of side lights. The platform is 15x41 feet, and is just about as well proportioned as it possibly could be.

In front is a splendid, massive, brown stone stoop, with' Botne seven or eight Bteps, tbe stoop alone costing about It sets the frontage appearance of the building off to a most excellent advantage. The build ing and lota cost about $24,000, on which were raised yesterday $8,300, there remaining now a debt of some The corner stone was laid with appropriate Ceremonies October 16th, 1864. The basement ball of the structure was dedicated on the first Sunday in April, 1S65, and the main ballycBterday afternoon. Tho society owning tkis structure was organized Nov. 19th, 1880, and chartered December 10th, 1861 Tbe membership Is about The benefits of the society are $3 per week to Blck members; $10 towards paving funeral expenses' in case of death, and $83 to the widow, and $5 to each of tbe children.

Tbe initiation fee is but $3, with a small sum per month as dues. Tbis building was constructed under charge of the society by James Ashfleld, mason, aud P. If. O'Brien, carpenter. The rooms will be let for concerts, lectures and all other entertainments, except balls and sparring exhibitions.

The meeting yesterday was tinder charge of Messrs. Malachl F. Murray, Peter Kelly and 13 others, as a Committee of Inauguration, and they deserve much credit for the manner in which they arranged tbe details. THE MEETING OT STAIES was organized by the President, Charles Murphy, who introduced Hon, D. Veeder as presiding officer Mr.

Veeder accepted the position in a few well chosen remarks. This waa followed by music from Stewart's Band, "Hail to the Chief." Mr. Peter Kelly then read a lengthy addresa, whioh was surreptitiously obtained by a person representing hjpself as a reporter cf the Eaqlk, and we are therefore prevented from publishing it. Its main features are already embodied in the introductory remarks of this article. Mueio, Star Spangled Banner Band.

Sevcrol smaller subscriptions were taken, and the total amount realized was" $2,800. After a few Bhort speeches the meeting adjourned. A 1IEETING DOWN 8TAIB3 was organized for those who were unable to gain admission in the main ball, and addresses were delivered by Messrs Jobn Dunn, Brophy arid othera. In the evening the large Hall wai again orowded, and the regular Sunday ovening meeting was held, whioh consisted of addresses and songs by Temperance men. Neither of the Factions by him quoted, has the slight, at bearing on, or reference to, the present case; there is no Imperfect description here.

The simple fact is. there is nothing here to Jdesorlbeand the courts bive decided tbat tbero never was anything. He would alao wish his readers to believe tbat he is unable to distinguish between an unpaid tax on a ploje of real estate being assessed back on the ward, that in two years will be sold for the unpaid tax added thereto; ten per cent for the first ten months and seven per oent per annum for tbe remainder of tho time, together with $2 25 for advertising, the taxes In this case being credited lo the ward, iVjdefault and percentage go towards making up the city revenue aud the $2 25 to poy (be printers. This is ono oase, and the case to which section 19 and 20 rotor. In the other, or in the present case, the courts (as I have said before) have decided that there is noiAmo, nor new wot, whereon to laya tax, nothing that may he sold in two yean, (rior at any other period of time,) nothing to be credited to the ward, nothing whereon to collect 10 per cent, default for tho first 10 months, nothing whereby 7 per cent per annum (for the remainder of the time) may be realized; In fact nothing to even pay tho printer.

Yet the representative of the (unknown) quantity would wish usjto believe that he can discover no difference between these (iuo cases. This, I think, is doing himself great injnatice; but, if true thai he cannot, I venturo to say he is the only person, who has given to the subject any attention, who remain in tho same state oi ou srui mnocence Healso appears to think that because tbe'Common Council did something wrong, and what thev had no right lo do, in the year 1858, that that is a reason why thov should in the present year of our Lord perpetrate a still greater icrono'. I bave, perhapB, no right to differ with as to the amount of weightitu may be disposed to give to the above reason; still 1 may be permitted to say that I am inclined to believe ibat not a few of his readers will be stupid ennoogh not to see the point and take it as a leason why tbey Bhould donoiftino of(hthini. The great difficulty with appears to be his inability to comprehend the difference between the above two cases, Re naming and Re numbering Streets Job. To Ike Editor of the Brooklyn Eaglt: It appears the street re naming department still pursues tbe even tenor of its way notwithstanding tbe fact that theBe who compose it know perfectly well tbat every person who has thought on tho matter at all, looks on the whole affair as a Bwindle.

If it la the $10,000 these gentlemen are after, it would be much better for the oitizens that tbe Common Council would appropriate the remainder of that sum to tueir piivate use and special benefit, and say no more aboob the matter, than allow them to proeeed as tbey intend, and capBize things generally. Tbe changes foreshadowed iu the renumbering of the streets will be calculated to and will create innumcra bio difficulties. The system, as I understand it, is, to give to every fifteen ieet a number, without any rogard as towboEe property this fifteen feet may cover. In the city of New York, lor tho better designation ot properly, tho street numbers aro entered in the tax rolls, and are (he means. whereby innumerable errors ore avoided that occur in this city yearly, by one man paying on his neighbor's lot and leaving his own unpaid.

Lctony one picture to himself the agglomeration of numbers and tbe confusion they would create i( they are ever intended to designate property. This system of numbers might run from one end of a street to the other, w.thout ever designating one man's property, no more, or no less. It will not do to say tbat it is not the intention to have them so entered in the lax rolls. Wby not Why spend time, tiouble and money to introduce a system so defective tbat it cannot be used for tbis purpose, wkich bos proved so valuable in tbe city ot New York! Any tinkering of this kind that will require to be done over in a few years iB worse than useless. But although the changes in respect to the numbers will be troublesome and vexatious, they will bo trfling; a mere nothing, aB compared to may be expected from the renaming of the streets that will thereby be In.

traduced into tho Register's office, thero to be mot and contended with for all ttmo to como. The communication in your paper asking his Honor tbe Mayor to interpose his authority, and Bigned by many respeotabie Lawyers, men who clearly see these difficulties (and I do not believe that ono man in tho city, who understands searching, could be found who would not say the same) will witness tbe truth of what I hero say. Suppose twenty years from now, a young mm goes into the Register's office to Bearch agaiuBt a piece of property situated on Seymour street; ho gets along very well to such' time as he arrives back at the year 1S65. Here ho meets a conveyance from spme party, but tho piece of property is situate on TillaryBtrect. It la the same piece of property but he does not know that, nor is thero anything tbere to inform him, or set Mm right He closes the book and puts it away.

He hoe lost the thread of his searoh. True, ho may find some one in the office who will be ablo to tell him what the Common Council had done 20 years back, then again ho ho may not. I doubt very much if tbere be any one In the Register's office this day tbis 17tb day ot Joxo, 1865 that could tell, or is very conversant with what the Common Council did twenty years ago. To those who do not know the difficulty and liability to eiror in searching down a chain of title, tbe foregoing objection may appear rather obsuuro; but to those who do know the consequences of any change in the name of a Btreet, change of its location or any alteration in its lines, the liability to error will appear more clear, and tbey are the arties who are to be affected, and who ought to be consulted in this matter, aud whose advice should be followed. I do not mean to say that all change is unnecessary, but I do Bay that tbe changes should be as few as possible and made only where imperatively demanded.

The Indian Herb Doctor Again. Kikk wood House, I Washington, June 17. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Allow mo to ask as a great personal favor, Ibat yciu give tho enclosed card publicity, in order that thoso oi your city who know mo may Bee that I am again at liberty, having been entirely exonerated from tho foul charges brought ggsinst mo iu some of tho Northern journals. BeBpectlully, T. Tumblety, M.D To the Editor of the Star: After thieo weeks' imprisonment in tho Old Capitol Prison, in this city, I bave been unconditionally and boa orably released from confluemont by direction of the Secrotory of War, there being no evidence whutovcr to connect mo with tho yollow lever, or assassination plot, with which Bomo ot tbe Northern journals have charged mo of having some knowledge My arrest appears to hove grown out oi a statement mado in a low, licentious sheet published iu New York, to the efeot that Dr.

For tbe truth of this assertion I can bring bunditds of distinguished persons throughout tho United States to vouch for my vera itj, and, If necessary can produce certiQcatts from an innumerable number of gentlemen in hlgb official positions. bilo in impiisoumont Inoticed in some of tho New York and other northern papers, a paragraph sotting forth that tho villain Harold, who now stands charged with being one of the conspirators iu tho attrocious assassination plot, waB at one time in my employ. This, too, is fulse in eyery particular, and I am at loss to Bee how it originated, or to trace it to its origin For tho poet five years I have had but otio man in ray employment, ond he is yet with me, hia character being beyond reproach, I never taw Harold to my knowledge, audi have no desire to see bim Anotber paper has gone so far as to inform the publio that I was an intimate acquaintance of Booth's; but this, top, 1b nowB to hie, as I never spoko to him in my lito, or any of his lamily'.

Mr. Lamar, and others oi n9ie. With tbese lew remarks in justice to mysolf, I will close by submitting them to the public. Respectfully, Dr.

When the Doctor was in Brooklyn the young man who was with him, and who was Bince identified with Harold, gave his name indifferently aa Farrell and Blackburn, and the Doctor used the latter name at one time In his business.

However, as the Doctor has been discharged ills fair to suppose tbat he is innocent Of anj offence agalnBt tbe government. Twentieth Ward Street Cleaning, To the Editor ff the Brooklyn Eagle: Dear Eagle: What is the name of the contractor for cleaning the streots of this ward Why is be paid if he violates hia contract Portland avenue, between Fulton and Lafayette has not been swept and the dust carried away for three years, and it is about time there was a refoim in this mode of doing business. My neighbor, desparing of having the street cleaned, employed a man to do the same at his expense, thereby establishing a precedent tor non performance of contracts. Lop off these leeches If the people have got to clean tbe streets at their own expense, and save Borne thousands to the tax payers. I would most respectfully call the attention of our indefatigable Health Officer, Dr.

Jones, to the homo oa the south west corner of Lafayette and Portland avenues, from the yard of which is wafted the most offensive odorn, thereby impregnating the night air and driving people within doora to escape the foul stench. Yours truly, O. W. H. National Debt.

To the Editor of The Brooklyn Eagle Sir: You have had many plans to pay off the national debt. I will now givo you a worklngman's plan. Working men sometimes are hard puahed and borrow a few doUara from a friend ond pay It back by instalments, When the lost payment is made they take adiink together to cement their friendship. Tola national debt of ours was incurred by the nation being hard pushed. The holders ot it wore not born to inherit It like the old country bond holders.

So If we pay them the principal there will bo nobody hurt," andpifit. by instalments. It has rolled up by depreciated legal tender;" let that be the bonus for tbo loan. Webster said truly that a national debt could not exlit with universal suffrage; I go in for paying, aay in 10 or So years. I bave no notion of a national debt being a national blessing.
