Prepared with special refer. ence to durability aud economy. The attention ol property owners Is called to this notice. Sola at the GLOBE WHITE LEAD AND COLOR WORKS, MPesrl street, corner of Plymouth street. the North (backed by the capital of manufacturers), and the negro vote of the South, they hopo to defeat any ordinary candidate the Democrats may nominate.

The Radicals argue thus: Pendleton helped to defeat McClellan. The Chicago platform alienated the War Democrats, without whose aid Lincoln would never have been elected. Even to the platform itself McClellan refused to. subscribe, and for some time it was doubtful if he would accept the nomination. The Democratic Convention may now commit a similar error.

The unconditional peace party, they think, will raise some issue, or incorporate Borne plank in their platform at which we can raise the cry of treason, copperheadism, or repudiation and all this will take the place of argument. The past acts of the Radicals, obliterated under a blaze of military glory; will be forgotten, and their future policy and usurpations be lost sight of in the enthusiasm of a nation for a successful General and military The masses, believing that the firmness of the hand that held the line ot battle in its fiercest moments from wavering, will be a guarantee for repose in peace, and for the unswerving execution of the laws, and thus trusting to the man, they will lose sight of the fanaticism of the party that supports and controls him. To oppose a mere soldier to Grant is of fight a chief with tho subaltern. To oppose him with a person whose record will need to be defended from the start is to re enact the blunders of the last Presidential Election. To incorporate any plank tending to upset the statu quo, is to create a panic with the threat ot counter revolution, as politicians can only deal with existing facts, and must adopt the condition ot States as they find them.

Congress has nothing to do but leave the States to themselves, abolish all laws disfranchising citizens, repeal all laws clearly unconstitutional, inaugurate civil for military governments over the Union, renew the period of constitutional liberty, and establish universal amnesty. To accomplish this every thing depends on the next Presidential Convention. Upon the wisdom of its proceedings and the selection of a candidate for the Presidency the future of the country rests. Since the time the first Continental Congress convened, greater issues were never brought before the people. Nor ha3 a period arisen requiring more prudence, and less political buncombe than the present.

The Drainage or the County Buildings, About two years ago the Board of Supervisors determined that it would be necessary to construct a sewer to drain the County Buildings at Flatbush, the drainage of these rather populous buildings, the Almshouse, Nursery, Hospital and Lunatic Asylum, ran into a cesspool, threatening to become a nuisance dangerous to health. An act authorizing the improvement was procured of the Legislature of 1867, and proceedings have been taken under it to the extent of surveying the ground, laying out the course of the sewer and the appointment of commissioners of Estimate. The latter body met yesterday to hear parties interested and take evidence as to the amount of damages due for land taken and so on. From the report of the proceedings published in another column it will be seen that there are grave objections to the plan laid out by the engineer and surveyor, and if persisted in it will add over a hundred thousand dollars unnecessarily to the cost of the improvement. The plan laid out is to run the sewer along the line of Clarksou street, on which the County Buildings front; passing the line of the county property, the cursc of the sewer is turned abruptly at right angles across lots, through private property taking the most direct route to tide water, emptying into Bedford Creek which runs into Jamaica Bay.

This makes the line of the sewer as short as possible, the objection is tha.t it cuts through private property, the owners of which object to it, and claim heavy damages. By continuing the line of the sewer about; a quarter of a mile further on Clarkson street, a public road is reached, running parallel to the proposed line, and along which the sewer might be laid without expense to the county for the right of way. The properly through which the sewer would pass, if the surveyor's plan were carried out, is very valuable, there are many handsome villas and county residences on it, and the land is in a high state of cultivation. We cannot understand how the construction of a covered on a level or above the surface, can damage the property to the extent some of the owners claim. The sewer would occupy a space but a few yards in width, and a close culvert cannot become a nuisance.

Still the county will have to pay for the land taken it the sewer crosses private property, and the Commissioners of Estimato will have to act upon the sworn evidence presented. The witnesses now insist that the land will be depreciated in value from three to five hundred dollars an acre, at which rate the county would have to pay over a hundred thousand possibly two hundred thousand dollars damages, a sum altogether beyond reason. If the route laid out is the only one line practicable for the purposes it wTould be cheaper to open a public road, paying for the land taken, and then lay the sewer upon it. We are assured, however, that it is practicable to carry the sesv er along the line of roads now open, by making a slight detour, adding a few hundred yards to the length of the sewer, but the additional cost of construction will be trifling in comparison with the amount claimed for private property which it is proposed to cross. The attention of the Supervisors is called to this' matter; the Board should request the Commissioners to stay proceedings until it can be inquired into, and further legislation obtained if necessary, to save the county from being committed to a plan unreasonably expensive.

Tlse Approaching Democratic National Convention and Its Duty. Upon the action of the next Democratic Convention depend the future hopes of this country and the perpetuity of our institutions. A candidate should be selected upon whom all the old elements of the Democratic party can combine. The conservative Republicans are sickened with the revolutionary conduct of the Radicals, as is evidenced by their defeats in all local elections that have lately taken place. These, however, are but the skirmishes that precede the battle.

They may give us hope, but their result is swept away by the issue of the great conflict. The success of the Democratic party is a matter ot necessity for civilization and that word embodies constitutional liberty stability of Government, national honor everything that is glorious to contemplate and necessary to secure. Defeat throws the nation at the feet of desperate political adventurers men who have triumphed over constitutional rights, and scorned constitutional impediments who care for nothing but perpetuating themselves in office, and who seek through negro votes at the South, and through tho moneyed influence ot manufacturers, secured through high tariff and redundant ksues of depreciated currency, to give artificial prosperity to the country, until the election is over. When then objects are accomplished, tlie crash and panic mustcome property sink, workmen be thrown out of employment, and beggiry and demoralization follow. But their tenure of office is secure, and the object they labored for accomplished.

Why is Johnson impeached; the Senacors supposed to give judgment under the sanction" of their oaths threatened why is justice insulted by delegations going to Washington to influence the judgment of the Senate and clamor tor conviction why is Chase read out of the party, the greatest man that was ever in it why are Sprague, Fessenden, and others calumniated in the Radical press why are all the pledges of reconstruction given by Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Johnson ignored; the Constitution set at defiance and violated why are the militaiy bills and pro consular governments established in the South, confiscafion threatened as a lastresort, and the only intelligent people in the South as a mass disfranchised, and slaves that can neither read nor write, nor understand the difference between liberty and license, and whose ideas of government are obfuscated by total ignorance, permitted to vote and rule, when intelligence alone should govern The answer is for nothing but political success. In Russia, in 1824, duiing the revolt in St. Petersburg, the soldiers mutiny were instructed to cheer for Constantine and the Dedication ot St.

John's OT. Churcu Description of tbe Edifice. St. John's Methodist Episcopal church, until recently known as the South Fifth street Society, was dedicated 1Mb afternoon with appropriate religions services, a fuller report of which would have been published but for tbe crowded state of onr advertising columns. The dedicatory sermon was delivered by the venerable Bishop Janes and was one of singular force End imprtssivencss.

Every available standing place was occupied on the occasion until the close of the services, by an attentive audience. Services will be held acain this evening, when the Rev. R. S. Foster, D.D., will deliver a discourse.

The following description may serve to give some Idea of the style aud finish of this addition to the attractive public buildings of tbe Nineteenth Ward. The chnrch occupies a Pit of ground on the corner of Bedlord avenue and Wilson street. It is built in the decorated gotblc siyle of the thirteenth century, of Bellville brown stone. The IVont on the avenue Is 10o leet, including 20 feet for parsonage, and runs back ou Wilson Blreet 167 feet, including the lecture room. The principal features of the Irontare two noble tower? and the cenlrii entrance.

Tbe towers are of flue proportions, supported by clustered buttresses, canopied niches, pinnacles, mullionedand tracened windows. The one towards the parsonage will end in (lying bnttreEsess meeting toward the centre and supporting a centre piunacle. The corner tower will finish with a lofty spire rich In ornamental work, including four life size angels, one on each angle of the Bpire, The ribs of the spire will be finished with carved crochet work and ending in a foliated flnial. All the entrances are large, and those in iront enter ibrongh the towers. The entrrnce through the vdstl bale Is furnished with fun tracery ceilings the large crntre door way is one of Ihe principal feature? of tb.i front it is icctBscd with columns and ribs, with heavy crochet work on the lop, ending iu a large firnal.

Above the door wav is a large rosu window of hi Fiutilnl geometric tracery and painted glass. From ibis window up, the surluco la covered with moulded panel work, making a rich harmonious whnl j. The; side elevation on Wilson street is in keeping with the front. Though less oreate, it e'ill has an imposinu appearance, from the size and harmony of its parts, ciie window in front of the lecture room bein llix 'iO feet, giving character to this part of the building. The ftone coping is now being laid to surround the outer edifice, and is to be surmounted with a fine heavy gcthic railing.

THE AUDIENCE ROOM is a large and beautiful space, free to sight aud sound, having no large columns to obstruct tbe Bight. Every part of the auditorium is equally desirable. Tho groined ceilintr with its intersecting arches, moulded ribs and rich bases, all ending on beautiful moulded corbels on tbe side walls, with the recessed apsis for the organ and choir, makes the whole a beautiful picture. The organ is of the largest size, only excelled in Ibis State by tbe one in Plymouth Chuich. It will be worked by a large hydraulic engine in tbe basement of the church.

This instrument is from Jar dine Sons, New York. The eeating will accommodate from to 1,100 persons. The pews are circular, rangirg around the sneaker, and are beautilully puinted and carved in black walnut. The whole church is flited up as regards carpets, upholstery, light, healing sud ventilation, in first class siylo. At night the principal light will be received through the douie light 1n the Celling.

The lights will be lighted by electricity from below. Tbe altar furnilure designed and made especially for this purpose, is unique and rich, especially the communion table, which is a work of art in itself. These were made by Charles S. Schmitt from designs by the architect. The prevailing color of the walls of the airlicnce room is a soft Caen stone color contrasting admirably with Ibe blue oi the upholstery, and dark red of the carpets, gas fixtures, Ac.

LECTURE ROOM. From tbc rear oithe church or direct from Wilson ptrc et, access is had to the lecture room, chnrch parlor, Bible and class rooms and Sabbath School rooms. The lecture room will seat 100 to 500 persons; is a flue liebted and ventilated room, and so arranged that when needed can be connected with the church parlors by mertly moving back the sliding doors. The parior 'Bunipluously furnished, is a large r.iom 11 feet ceiling, and is entered on (wo sides by double doors, (lour in number) andEurrounded by fonr class rooms, which, when the occasion warrants, can be used aa anlc rcoma with convenient retiring rooms, Jbc. Iu connection with the above is a largo kitchen, range, hot and cold water, sink, iu tie basement.

From this tte hret from laivo, roomy and broad easy stairs seven feet wide at the base, is reached the SABBATH SCnOOL ROOMS, which It will not be loo much to say, are the finest in the country a model of convenient light, heat, and ventilation, as well as rare artistic beauly. Tacse rooms have been visited Dy persons far and near, aud but one opinion expressed, that of admiration for the arrangements, for the practical working of ihe school, acd the rire beauty in which all the details havo been carried out. It would take too Ionir to go into detail, suifliceit to Eay, that ttc seating is black walnut, each seat forming a segment of a circle', the leather having Ihe scbolais larohud him. Ou a raised platform at one end is the Principal's table in a long recces or apsis on one side is the library with fifteen hundred volumes, and on the other is the Secretary room, botii seen through large open arches, over which isaniche with sta'ues ofanecls. The ceiling is broken by a large dome light which lights the room by day and by gas above it at night, in the same manner as the Houfee of Representatives at ia lighted.

The walls and remainlue part of the ceiling have been splendidly paneled and frescoed by Nedtc naumi, from a design prepared for the tunic by the superintendent of the Sabuath Jos. F. Krapp, who also presented the school with the bcanlilul fountain lhat adorns the centre ol Ibe room. This gentleman, with Samuel W. Trus low.

Yours Truly, Babnaeas Lincoln. Sanplere Ind. My WliisUiiiC Neighbor. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: There is some satisfaction in making a complaint, even when you know it will not rem3ve tho grievance. Sorrow is assuaged by being uttered.

It is on ibis principle that boys hallo so when being caned. Well, I have a grievance agarnst my neighbor. I don't wish him any harm. It's finch a small thing, apparently, that I should be ashamed to bring my complaint before tbo party himsclt. I coulcf not get him indicted by tho Grand Jury, or abated by iho Board of Health.

And yet he's a veritable nuisance, a moat eerioua annoyance to me. I am a bard working man, and much of my work is done at niahtlall, and going to bed late, I wish to sleep in the morning until a reasonably late hour. But my neighbor bas horticultural tastes, and to indulge them he parades himself in his back yard at early dawn as near as I can judge, about four or five o'clock A. M. Unlike the urjust steward In the Gospel, he can dig, but he won't be content to dig in eileuce, or to carrv on his eardening except iu such a taihion as to let all the neighbors know what be is doing.

He begins to whistle shrilly, piercingly, slowly, so that every note gees through you. Out of bed you get and close the windows wmch were left open for ventilation. It is in vain, tbat slow, sad, incessant unmusical whistle pervades the block, entering every rear apartment for two hundred feet each way, in a vindictive screeching which renders it impossible forany one in the neighborhood to remain in slumber. I am not nervous fcave stood bolf an hour on a car platlorm, resisting the impulse to no inside, while beside me was a ball drunken mau humming snatches of comic songs lnlenupleil by hiccups; lean stand any nmonut of noise of 'any sort by ooy, and I C9n sloep on Broadway in spite ol ihe vehicles" and at the Delavau at Albany, in rjiitc of the locomotives: but I cannot endure the solitary whistling of my horticultural neighbor, and in acspair I come to you, asking what Ithall do. Matters In General The Country and Its Present Appearance Street Improve.

ment Arcade West Side Railroad. Albany, April 21, 1883. Dbah Eagle Although business is being rapidly prcBBed forward there Is very little to write of local interest. The weather here is mild and springlike; the grass coming up beautifully green, and it is likely that the vernal season will not long remain spring in name only From Albany westward the country still suffers from an excess of water; the snow still lingers upon the high hiUs, and under tbe influence of the sun, which is warm at noonday, causes the mountain streams to pour down plentifully into the valley of the Mohawk and along the Central Railroad. Tho frcqnent enow storms have bad a beneficial effect in bringing out a plentiful yield of maple snear.

Tbc farmers have begun to plow the yielding soil, the birds are singing gaily, and all tturc is bright with promise. LEGISLATIVE. To day in the Assembly tho only particular local matter, wgg the passage of the bill to pave Fulton avenue, Livingston street and Hanson Placo with Bel. gian pavement. The bill now goeB to the Senato for concurrence.

Mr. Mallison, of your county, returned last evening from Rome, New York, whither uu wuo summoned to attend tbe bedside of a dyinu mother. The sad event which he feared was realized on Saturday morning and on Monday he followed the lifeless remains of his mother to her last reEting place. The West side railroad project was defeated in the to day. The bill was introduced by Air.

Has" brouck, of Ulster County, and provided forthebond ingol the townB of several counties on the West side of the Hudson river for the purpose of building the proposed railroad. The vote was decisive being nays, G8; 20 ayes. So the West aide road is, what would be called down South, by the freedinen, "done gone." Senator Pierce's bill to partially reorganize the W. D. Fire Department, was to day reported complete iu the House, and will probably pass in the course of the week, and become a law.

There are rumors afloat that tbe Governor will veto the Erie R. R. Stock bill, which yesterday passed tho Houee. THE BROADWAY ARCADE RAILROAD. The Senate was engaged this afternoon iu discuss, ing the Arcade railroad bill.

This measure passed tho Assembly some time ago, and has since lain quietly in the drawer of the Railroad Committee of the Senate. In many respects it is ttte best bill for the people of Brooklyn, but there IB little hope here of its successful passage. The road, if built in accordance with the plans, would run down to tbe South Ferry, and thus improve property in South Brooklyn, while the Brooklyn underground read will Mart from the City Hal! Park, the proposed termination of Ihe new Bridge. The Brooklyn people are not opposed to the passago of the Arcade hill, believing that Governor Fentcn would surely veto the bill. The plan looks well on paper, but is impracticable in consequence of the heavy grntU along Broadway.

The people ot New York desire a road a ropid steam road, but the merchant princes along Broadway do not mean to allow that thoroughfare to bedlelurbed, as it would by the construction of the Arcadelroad. Stewart is opposed to it, as are also manycttere, and if the bill passes tbe Senate, they will use their influence with the Government ta defeat it. Ttosewhoareto build the Central Underground Road will apply next year to have the road cxlended to South Ferry under Broadway, but they are afraid to do this the present year lest tho official veto of his Excellercy should interfere. It is safe to predict that no road will he in running order lor the next five years. By that time Brooklyn should have a steam road from the East river to East New York iu the most central port of the city.

She is behind the age now in this respect, and the people who would with rapid commimicatron go to the outskirts of the city are goiDg over to New Jr? ey and out to We3'chestei' Couniy In prelcv, nee. Brooklyn should have a steam road by all means. It would add millions of dollara to the taxable property and thousands lo tbe population. Among t'uose present here from Brooklyn are Surro ga'o Veeder, Theo. Hinsoalc, J.

Pryor Rorke, Stephen HayneB, J. S. T. Stranaban, W. Colt, James Mc Cauley, Martin Brccn, John N.

Taylor, A. M. Blies, and others. An attempt to carry a resolution to adjourn sine die on the 2Qth failed. The session will run oyer to next week.

Truly, O'Pake. About Atlantic Street The Inebriates' Home Passage or tbe St. Francis monastery BUI Notaries Public Confirmed. Albakt, April 22, lSOS. Dear Eagle: The weather is magnificently bricht to day, and tbe members from the rural districts look at the green grass in the Capitol park and sigh for their pleasant homes.

Disintegration will probably occur next week at the very latest. The chances are that a quorum can be kept over until next week. THE PRESENT LOBBY here now iB stronger than at any previous time during tbe seBEion. From Brooklyn this morning arrived Captain Woglom, Wm. A.

Colt, Geo. B. Lincoln, Sidney V. Lowell, Sam'I T. Maddox, S.

D. Morris, John Cashow, and others. Now that Erie is over and passed, the attention of members and lobby is closer than ever to local mat ters. Among the Notaries confirmod by the Senate to day appears the name of Alex. Macgrotty, recently deceased in your city.

Tbe bill regulating the rate of terries to and from New York and Brooklyn, other than those run by the Union Ferry Company, to carry passengers at the same rate of rare as at Fulton Ferry, which was introduced early In the session by Mr. C. L. Smith, of your city, baB passed the house attor a little modification. THE ATLANTIC STREET PAYING.

In reference to the bill some time ago Introduced to repave Atlantic street, the Eagle holds the following The Eagle's correppondent, who onelrl to know, staled io his correspondence that the bill has been defeated. In one or two of tho New York papers it is asserted that, the bill bas passed. May we call the especial attention of the representative of the diBtrict embracing the Teeth Woid lo the subject, or must we rely on the Senate, in this as in other inBtanccs, for the defeat of a jnb no representative of the people of this city can sustain and'dare to ask their eudursemont in tho luture In reply the above, Mr. Mallison. the "representative" of tbe Tenth Ward, informs your correspondent 88 follows The writers of the Kagi.k appear to have misapprehended the provisions of the bill to rcpuvc Atlantic treet Irom tbc day of its introduction iu the Assembly.

It in. ve provided for replacing tbe present pavement by Nicol. ou pavement, butthu word Belgian waa Iilaced in the title of tbe bill. Tbe hill was strenuous advocated on the one band and as strenuously opposed. It will noi even pa'rs the House, auu if it hid patEed and become a law the Nicolsou pivemeut would not have been used, but au experiment might have been made in Scrim haw or some other improved pavement.

The Eaule, therefore, has innocen'ly mislead tbe property owners upon Atlantic street as Co the object of this bill. On all hands it is admitted that so straight and broad a n.bfare as Atlantic street shou'd be placed iu beUer condition than it. now is. The bill of Mr. Mallison proposed no more than and Ib sub stannally tbe tame bill as the one which has the House to repave Fnltou avenue, Livingston street, and Haneou Place, also introduced by Mr.

Mallis iu. In or case rcmonsirauces were numerous in the other but a single croak" was beard against it. THE INEBRIATES' HOME. This morning, in the Senate, the bill to aid the Inebriates' Home, of Kings Connty, located in or near Ihe Eiehih Ward, was reported adversely. Mr.

Mnr pby oppoeed the lCDort, urged the merits of the pro, poaed plan, and after explaiuing the work which was now being done in a limited way, succeeded in having the report agreed to, and tho bill committed to the Committee of tbe Whole. As It is now on the preferred calendar for a third reading, it will doubtless pass. An amendment has been made makiDg no ex Senditure legal except wi'h tbe coLCurrence of the layor of the city, the City Judge aud the County Juoge. The Mayor and two Judges ex officio become members of the corporation.

Emerson's Mail of the World. Ralph Waldo Emerson instructed and entertained a large audience of ladies and gentlemen at the Packer Institute last evening, in describing his idea of The Man of tho World." The first lesson of nature was ascension.

Everything was repeated. Nothing wbb new, Tho earth showed age and the benefit of that age to it, and the fossil indicated how often it bad been through the mill. A man of the world, to be great, must be catholic, not frivolous he must be horn well with a bias to find out something. When nature made a man she observed a nice bil as to preserve a beautiful symmetry in tho combination of the intellectual and tbe physical, eornmcn senEe was as rare as peniua, and it was as useful in certain spheres. All nomer's kloes in the Iliad were woikers, and it would be well if the young men of America were dipped in the of common sense.

The lecturer distinguished between English and American common sense, and described the dtf feiecce by a strlei of illustrations. Beauty consisted In doing tbe best where doing well only was required. The great evil of tbe world was its blockheads; its was ItB men of common sense. The man of the world, of ibe lecturer's idea, was the lover of worK, not ine preienaer to woik.

Ita value aa an AdYertiains BXadlum la therefore apparent. Tlio Indebtedness, Growth and Wealth 01 Brooklyn. The peoDle of Brooklyn are indebted to a Special Committee of the Board of Supervisors, of which Mr. Scholes was Chairman, for perhaps the most interesting statement of the indebtedness, growth and wealth of this city and county which we ever had the satisfaction of placing before our readers. Ia our wholesome fear of incurring responsibility which we may not be able to meet, we are perhaps disposed, at times, to deal too fcarshly with the public servants, but it affords us great great gratification in, as it tvere, taking stock, after carrying on our business as a corporation for nearly forty years, to find that, after all, we have been very iully served by our agents.

While we are not disposed to relax our vigilance, it would be churlish, indeed, in closing a decade in our history and finding ourselves unexpectedly prosperous, if we failed to felicitate each other on the fact that through our common el forts we have, upon the whole, faithfully executed the duty imposed upon us. From the statement published in extenso in yesterday's Eagle, it appears that the indebtedness of the County of Kings was on the first of July last a little over three millions three hundred and forty thousand dollars. In other words the property of the city of Brooklyn and the five country towns of Flat bush, Flatlands, New Lots, New Utrecht and Gravesend is liable in common for the payment of this amount. Towards its payment we have raised in the taxes the current year one hundred and five thousand dollars.which leaves the net liability of the County three millions two hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. It will surprise the public to know that ol the whole amount of this debt but three hundred dollars were expended for what may be termed ordinary local purposes.

In responding to the calls of the General Government during the late war, and in protecting our citizens as far as we could from their personal liabilities, we have incurred a debt of over two millions one hundred thousand dollars, or about nine tenths of the entire amount of the liabilities of the county. On the credit side of the account we have seven county buildings valued at one million eight hundred and sixty thousand dollars, so that if we exclude the war debt we would have propel ty on hand representing six times the amount of what we owe, excluding all claims on property owned by individuals. In other words, if we could close our county account, the public property would represent six times the debt upon it, not including, of course, the debt we incurred in sustaining the general government, on an occasion never likely to occur again. The city proper has, of course, an account distinct from the county. The public debt of the city is found to he, in round numbers, twelve millions threa hundred and sixty two thousand dollars.

At first sight this appears to be a very heavy liability on the property of individuals, but when we come to count the public properly we have got to show for it, it will be seen that the debt is not due to reckless extravagance in carrying on our local government from year to year. The waterworks alone cost us six million four hundred and Sixty thousand dollars; lor Prospect Park wo have already paid three million twohuudrcd and forty two thousand dollars, so that over two thirds of our indebtedness has been incurred in these two great undertakings. The water works are almost self sustaining, and we hope soon to see them entirely so. The greater part of the cost of Prospect Park has been already met, and within a few years we shall have a public domain worth many times its needing only to be kept in order. Besides these items on the credit side of our account, we have the City Hall, which is valued by the committee at the nominal price of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars the City Hall Park the City Park and Washington Park; the public school houses, engine houses, station houses, and other property owned by the city, which ia the aggregate would very nearly balance the in the event of the City Government closing its business, not one dollar liability on the private property of our citizens.

Besides all this, the ci'y has lent its credit in numerous instances for local purposes, and it is fair to assume that every dollar thus lent will be paid back. The debit side of the account is made to look worse than it is, for the reason that the city charges itself as a debt with an amount for which it merely goes security. The city has lent its credit to the several commissions now under way to the amountof one million three hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. This sum we expect will be refunded by local assessment What may ho called the floating debt, incurred tor grading, paving and sewering streets, is also guaranteed by local assessment though it figures as a permanent debt. The Committee seem to be justified in coming to the very gratifying conclusion "that the "real estate owned by the city would, with "the money in the sinking lund, pay double the amount cf its debts." It is equally satisfactory to know that we not only met our expenses as we went along, but that we have accumulated public property while maintaining the sound policy of "paying as we go." The table given to show the growth of the city is exceedingly interesting.

Brooklyn commenced its career as a city in 1830, and it started with a capital of about seven million dollars six millions in real and about one million in personal property. Up to 1834 the wealth of the county slowly but steadily increased, despite the general troubles inthese trying years. In 1834, when the effects of the panic ceased, the assessed valuation of the property of the county was nearly eighteen million dollars in 1836, it rose to over thirty eight millions in the panic times of 1838, it iell again to thirty millions, and It had barely recovered when the panic of 1843 came on, reducing it again to thirty seven millions. The wealth and population of the county in the several decades since 1830, are shown the table which follows Assessed valnc. Population, 1830 20,000 31,103,218 1S50 1SB0 87,143 The assessed valuation of the property of the county last year was in round numbers $151,000,000.

We doubt if any city in the world will show, withm a little more than a generation, such substantial and marvellous progress. For the future the Committee does not hesitate to challenge the rivalry of New York. We beat our sister city in the first essential measure of progress we have more room to grow in. In New York there are 143,625 building lots in Brooklyn 152,762. Wchave now accommodation for a population of two millions, and we have the whole area of Kings county back of us, and destined sooner or later to be embraced within the city.

The statistics of buildings finished last year in the two cities show how handsomely Brooklyn is taking the lead. There were 658 first class buildings erected in New York last year, in Brooklyn 1,106, nearly double the jiumber. For manufactories and work Shops there were 298 building3 erected in New York; in Brooklyn 149 double the number in proportion to our wealth and population. While looking after our material interests, we still preserve our reputation as the City of Churches, for while New York erected but twenty six places of public worship to provide for the increase of a population of eight hundred thousand toute, Brooklyn finished nineteen places of Wflthip, proverbially ample as she was sup pffei Ixfore. fi'i oiK the way for still greater progress fcU Uiv bridge is needed.

Compared fW rtmm Ito cost is trifling. Nothing Vl fi)4 celfhh folly will stand in the (4hV (tQtzrprUs'i at once, andbsfore any of 'New York can invite the fXtpyMUm, which if directed here, fiffxMfR It point of population, ilm foremost city ot the EESVY CLafflS AGAINST THE COUNrY. TIic Proposed County Sewer from Flat busu to Bedford Creefc, Flatlands. The Commissioners appointed to assess the damages caused by the construction of the proposed sewer from Ihe County farm at Flatbush to tide water, have held several meetings and taken a good deal of evidence, besides having personally examined the whole of the proposed route. The Bower has been laid out in a route surveyed by non.

Tunis G. Bergen. It commences at Ihe County Almshouse, follows the line of the street (Clarkson street) which was laid out by the county in frout of the County Buildings, it has got past the county buildings then turning almost due south, it is laid out so as to take a strip of land, 10 feet wide, as follows Extending 708 feet through land of Dailledenze, Zel ler, Co. 10SO feet through land of John Necfus. 1251 leet through land of Michael Stryker.

1500 salt meadow of various parties Terminating at Bedford Creek, an inlet of the Jamaica Bay; making a total distance of nearly fonr Ihout aud yards, or nearly two and a half miles in leDgth. Tho Commissioners by whom compensation for the camnge to be couseu to the above owners by the passage of the sewer through their property is to be estimated, are Messrs. C. J. Lowrey, John Vanderbllt and John L.

Ryder. Mr. Ditmas has appeared belore them as counsel for the claimants, and has objected to the validity of the acts under which the proceedings are taken. The followin" evidence has been given John A. WyckofT, sworn, deposed that he lived in Flatlands, and knew the value of property in that town had had his attention directed to the land of B.

Kouwenhoven. There were two pieces through which tnis sewer was to pass. One of them, on which the bouse stood, wub worth eight hundred dollars an acre the other piece was worth $500 an acre. After the sewer was constructed the first pleco would not be worth over $500, and the value of tbe Beooud piece would be almost entirely destroyed it would not be worth over $200 an acre. There were 75 acres of the piece on which the house stood, and 20 acres of the second piece.

Tho land of P. Q. Kouwenhoven was now worth $1100 an acre, but after tho eewer was built it would not be worth over $400. Tnero were 00 acres of this faim. The laud of Michael Stryker was now worth $1,500 on acre; there were two puces of tuts the first 60 acres, and the second piece 72 acres.

After the sewer was built this land wouldnot be worth over $1,000 an acre. Did not lake into consideration. In making these estimates of damages, whether the sewer was to be below ground, or above ground, or on the level. Anderson's place was worth $2,000. Tho sewer would damage it to the extent of one half.

John Ditmas's land was worth $1,200 an acre. Twelve acres of it would be damaged by the Eewer, to the extent, at least of $100 an acre. Samuel E. Vandervetr's land was worth $1,300 an acre after the sewer was built it would oe only worth $700. Elizabeth Ditmas's property was worth $1,200 an acre it would be damaged $300 an acre by the Eewer being built.

The value of the salt meadow land was 50 au acre. John C. Vanderveer, sworn, Btated that he lived in Flallauds, near C. B. Kouwenhoven's and knew the value of properly in that vieiuily.

C. B. Kouwenhoven's land was worth, the flrst piece 750 an acre, anc the second piece $050. Tho flrst piece would be damaged $300 au acie by the Bewer, and the second would depreciate one third in value. The land of P.

G. Kouwenjoven was now worth $050 an acre, aud it would be damaged one third if the sewer wenLbuilt. If the sewer was graded on the top, level wlni the adjoining lard, the damage would be $75 to $100 less. Michael Striker's land wus worth $1,500 an acre, and it would be damaged to one third of this value if the sewer were built. The flrst Stryker farm was worthil, 500 an acre, and tho other $1,200 an acre.

The damage to each wonld be one third of the value. The land oi Samuel E. Vannerveer (who was a brother of witness) was worth $1,200 an acre. It would be by the sewer to one half the value of the land. The hind or Elizabeth Ditmas was worth $1,200 an acre, and the sewer would damage it one third.

The land of the heirs of John Ditmas was worth $1,200 aud would be damaged $250 an acre ror twelve acres. John W. Anderson's land would be damaged $1,500 by the sewer. Peter Williamson, sworn, stated that in his judgment C. B.

Kouwenhoven's laid, the flrst piece, was worth $750 an acre and would ba damaged to one third this va ue. The second piece was worth $250 an acre and would be damagf one third. P. G. Kouwenhoven's land was worth $500 an acre and would be dama ed one third.

Michael Stryker's land witness did not know the value of. Should think it worth $1,500 an acre and that it would be damaged one third. Should think the flrst Stryker's farm worth $1,750 1 tbc secend $1,500. The Commissioners propose hearing further evidence belore makrng their award, but tt is not ltkely that the high valuations of land, and the expressions or opinion respecting the great damage to be done by the sewer, will be materially changed by other testimony, as the opinion is general in Flatlands that the sewer would be a very great detriment to the elegant residences near which it has been laid out to pass. The wonder is that, such a route was ever selected for a sewer, in spite of the remonstrances and protests of the parties whose properties were to be injuriously affected, when at a distance of about a quarter of a mile is a public highway, along which the sower could have been laid to the salt mendnwa.

Kieses have for thousands of years been considered the prerogative of man. When women kiss each other the sham is too apparent to deceive any body, but when men kiss there is a meaning in it, an evidence of regard, a token of affection, Adam is popularly believed to have given lile to Eve by a kiss; Abraham blessed bis childrea with a kiss. Jndas betrayed his Master with a kiss, and James T' Fields, publisher, saluted Dickens with a kiss alto Dolly.

Ficlas 1b just the man to do that sort of a tbing. In tbe flret place he has poodled about Dickens continually since Mb arrival gaininc thereby a puppy's privilege and he is a peculiarly organized chap too, with a great deal of hair and beard and all that soit of thing, bo that afier all it isn't so very strange that he should decline to bo content with an honest shake of tho Then, too, it had a flavor of publicity about it which was very pleasaut. ft would Eurely be put iu the newspapers, and to the end of time it shall be known that Fields (of Boston) kissed DickeuB of England. But why Bhould he kies Dolby That we can't understand. Dolby is simply and solely a big, fat, good natured Englishman sent over here by Mr.

Dickens to ascertain the lny of the land. Ho came, was well cared for, was soused at Coney Island, ate clams there, went back, brought over bis master and attended to his affairs. Tnut's the whole of it, and yet Fields kissed him too. That wasn't tho square thing Cnuncn TiiEATnicAxs. The Pacific street Congregational Chuich Literary Society held one Of its pleasant and instructive meetings last evening at the elegant suburban residence of Deacon Hutchinson, St.

Mark's Place. This gathering, composed of the elite of Bedford, was unusually large and interesting owing to the brilliant talents of the members filling tbe appointments lor tbe evening. After the opening prayer by the president of the society, several essays were read, which from appropriateness of the selections and the able manner in which they were delivered, deserve the highest commendation. The musical part of the entertainment, ably conducted by the host oi the evening, was all that could be desired.

Yesterday Mr. Boutwell, on behalf of the Managers read a speech which would fill about twelve columns of the he finished but about two thirds of his lucubration when the court adjourned.

If the President was guilty ot crime, his offence could be stated in aa many minutes as his Impeachrs occupy days. What was meant to be a one act tragedy has extended into a very tedious five act farce. A correspondent of the Tribune tells a story about some Arabsgetting hold of two or three copies of that journal and soaking them in water under the impression that they possessed some magical power, ani selling the water for medicine. It the liquid had been subjected to chemical analysis it would no doubt have been found to contain a strong solution of lie. The Hon.

Mr. Keady is reported as rising in the Assembly to move a reconsideration of the bill to suppress obscene literature, asserting that it was an assault on the Democratic press. Mr. Keady should speak for himself or the particular papers he is interested in. Topics of To day.

It is officially announced that the public mind" of France is tranquil" and that the work of building roada will be pushed rapidly forward. The Empire is peace until it serves the purpose of Na poleon to make war. Italy was excited by a royal marriage yesterday. Humbert, son and holr presumptive of Victor Emmanuel, and his cousin Margaret were the parlies to the contract, which was perfected in Turin, with much magnlQccnce of appointment. The Crown Prince of Prussia, Prince Napoleon who doubtless thought the affair a bore since he wag compelled to pay some attention to hia wife Clotilde and very many persons of noble origin andstation weie present.

Toe bridal parly expected to go to Florence where a brilliant reception was preparing. The bridegroom ia twenty four and the briae sixteen and a half. Boutwell presses heavily on the newspapers and there is an eruption of triple and quadruple sheets. The Tribune spreads BoutwelPs 33,000 words over fifteen columns, and the jyiwtfeondopses theminto fourteen. The Georgia election has astonished the Radical politicians, in general result aud particular detail The World telegram Bays "that the Constitution is undoubtedly defeated," that General Gordon has been elected Governor by a eurprisingly large majority," aud that the counties which have the largest negro majorities have all gone Demociatic." The Triltme telegram says that Gordon is considerably ahead," that the Democrats are sanguine of success," and that the Savannah vote "is acknowledged by all to be in favor of the The Fenians Barry and Kccfe, suspected of incendiaiy intentions in regard to Buckiughain Palace, are held iu ctiB'ody until the alleged Greek fire found in their possession can be analyzed.

Fuuuer evidence was taken yesterday in the trial of the Clerk ekwell Fenians. Episcopal Bishop Cicero S. Hawks, of St. Louis', brother of the late Rev. Dr.

Francis L. Hawks, by whom he was educated, has just died at the age of fifty five, lie has been Bishop for twenty four years. The interest attaching to tho questions of the abolition of the Irish fjhurch Establishment, and the probable course of the English Ministry, is shated by another which, plainly speakicg, is this Was Mr. Disraeli drunk when he made bis last speech in Parliament before his recent defeat It is widely and confidently asserted that he was. The Jleriew says that during the delivery of his address while he seemed to be drinkiDg' water he was really drinking gin.

The Pall Mall Gazette designates the speech as one oi the "post prandial" sort. Most of the reporters revisedandamended the incoherent remarks with which it clOBcd, but the Star printed the "mixed" peroration juet as pronounced by the Premier. The occurrence fB the talk of the city, and It Is said this ia not the first time Disraeli has made a like exhibition of himself. He no doubt has the sympathy of our bibulous public men Miss Kellogg's snccess was continued and even increased on her reappearance at Drury Lane, London. A correspondent says: "Of all Mr.

napol eons troupe she is at this moment the favorite among both critics and the larger opera goiae class which Hues youth, and freshness of voice combined with culture." Miss Kellogg has appeared in Traviata," Linda di Chamouni," and Don Giovanni," but has not yet measured herself with Lucca, and Patti, and Nillson, ub Margherita. Yesterday Dickens went and Trollope came the former in the Russia and the latter in the Scotia. Both gentlemen were moved to visit this country by business motives, and both are well paid for their troublo Trollope by the British Government and Dickens by the American public. Dickens read his novels and had a complimentary dinner. Trollope proposes to atteua to postal arrangements, but whether he shall have a complimentary dinner before he goes home the Press Club must decide.

Mr. Whitwortb, the celebrated engineer, has asBoctated bis name with a nolably munificent deed in London. He has appropriated the sum of 100,000 for the endowment of thirty scholarships for engineers, of 100 a year each. While the fashionable season draws to a close in America It is just beginning in England. According to this difference of social arrangements, as the leaders of tho gay world here anticipate and prepare for a career of greater or less triumph at summer watering places, there they crowd in favorite resorts and display toilet and kindred extravagance at tho opera and to the park and at royal and other drawing rooms.

London succeeds where New York lamentably failed iu running two opera houses simultaneously. People who believe in Spiritualism will be startled on learning that the spirits are subject to rheumatic affections. The Davenport Brothers, whose brilliant success In this country and Europe has been duly recorded, have come to grief in London. Fay, their familiar spirit, has been laid low by rheumatism, and Euffcra severely in his legs and Jtrms. Unfortunately the attack bas extended to the "spirit hand," and it refuges to work.

In vain do the Brothers Bit patiently and await manifestations which are never made. While Fay la suffering the sympathetic spirits can do no ordinary work. But if spirits are not superior to gout, fevcr and ague, headache, "lnco herency," lumbago, measles, and "the thousand natural chocks that flesh, ia heir to," we might as well not have any spirits. The Senate has reconsidered its rule, and resolved to permit tho Managers and Counsel who may desire to millet all their tedlousness on the High Court of Impeachment, so that from now until a week from next Saturday, probably, the flow of eloquence will be copious and uninterrupted. Logan, nervously apprehensive that he might not have an to fire off a speech he had prepared, procured its publication before any of his assoclato Managers had spoken.

It is perhaps hardly worth wh'Je to remark on the gross breach of taste, not to say Indecency, involved in this. Lotus, however, thank Logan for having delivered himself in a remote and obscure Philadelphia newspaper. The singing and shooting Germans intend holding two grand festivals this year. The singing societies, including the Alton and Liederkranz and Constitution." When they asked who "Constitution" was, they were told she was the wife of Constantine, and was imprisoned by Nicholas. Could such a people keep up representative government? Are the blacks more enlightened or mentally superior to the Russians The farce of the impeachment is the beginning of the end the trial is a mockery of justice.

The Chief Justice in his rulings on the admission of important evidence has been almost invariably over ruled and the truth establishing the President's innocence pre meditatedly excluded. Since the death of Mr. Lincoln there has been nothing but one continued series of totally Constitutional usurpations, tending to revolution, and the impeachment is the first great historic act of the conspiracy. The most distinguished of our native poets has said "truth crushed to earth will rise again" unfortunately he was unable to foretell the period of her resurrection. Where the liberties of a nation are struck down it requires ages to restore them.

The first attempts are always insidious, such as perverting Constitutional expressions, raising false issues, corrupting votes by distiibution of corn or public money, as in Greece or Rome, or by issuing paper money as in France during the revolution, or here now summarily removing public officers, setting aside elections, raising disturbances in the finances, and finally, by open war on the constitution all sure to end in military usurpation. We do not believe that the American people will permit their liberties to be trampled down, as has been done in the old world, but circumstances that foreshadowed the destruction of popular government in all ages, have been developed of late by the conduct of the Radicals. Their total defea at the next general election is necessary to vindicate the majesty of the law, and show to politicians that the constitution cannot be set at naught for party purposes. To secure a popular support the Radicals will nominute General Grant, hoping his military reputation will give an eclat to him in the campaign, as was the case with Jackson and Taylor. They must recollect that Gen Scott, a soldier every way equal to Gen.

Grant, was defeated by Gen. Pierce, who had hardly any. military record, and was known slightly as a statesman. Their banners will be U.S. Grant." "United States Grant," "Unconditional Surrender and under the sound of names and trumpeta, with fictitious issues at Amusements.

The performance laet Saturday delighted the people, and there will doubtless be a great crowd in at the dance on this occasion. The Eastern District Industrial School. This charitable institution celebrated its fourteenth anniversary the Lee avenue Reformed church, last evening, and gave a pleasing entertainment.

The children showed careful training by their teachers, in a varied programme of speaking, singing, and dialogues. Rev. J. Hyatt Smith also favored tho audience with a characteristic speech, and urged upon all the necessity of rendering assistance to the work of AfiBOCiation. The trustees) have secured, by donation and pnrchaee, eleven lots on North Second street, on part of which it is proposed to erect a substantial brick building with ample facllitieB for furnishing food and shelter to tho children under their charge.

An appropriation by the Legislature, of 10, 000, wbb secured, on condition that an equal sum should be raiEed by Ihe Trustees, which, according to the Treasurei'a report, hashceh accomplished, there having been collected tbe sum of 910,481 44, and the funds wero yesterday received from tho Comptroller, by means of which they will be enabled to prosecate ine work at onco.
