A military parade on the coming national anniversary will not only, add to the eelat of the occasion, but afford an opportunity for official information in regard to the condition of all our local military organizations. General Grant's letter accepting the nomination of his party is published. It makes just thirty lines, and it bears internal evidence of being written by its author a great point in its favor. The General says that it is eminently improper for anybody to lay flown a policy at this time for the next four years because new issues may arise, and the people may change their minds on pending questions. Jack Bunsby, of the Cautious Clara," never said anything better than this.

Are we to understand the General as giving a sly dig to the men who met in Chicago a few days ago, and who at least pretended to have some opinions of their own? We endorse the closing sentence of the General's letter, which is apparently the work of an outside hand, for it has no connection with what precedes it Let us have peace." Amen say we, and to this end we propose to displace the party which cannot exist a day after peace shall be restored in fact as in name. If Grant desires peace, he is found very suspicious company, and the sooner he gets out of it the better. lastoveving to hear and enjoy tho closing reading of tbe season of the Plymouth Young People's Association.

Wo have not space to enter into a more detailed account or Mr. B's splendid success last night. His renditions already place him In the highest rank readers. We have a word or two in regard to the association whose success at its formation was guaranteed by the activity and energy of the young people who organised and sustained. Its social musical entertainments, scientific lectures, and Shakespeare readings have afforded instruction and amusement to both old and young.

Its influence has been widely and most beneficially felt in the church and beyond it also. Other churches have formedlmllar associations, and lecture and Sunday school rooms which heretofore through six days in the week have been as silent and almost as dark as the grave, bavo become radiant with joyous faces', and replete with Improving entertainment, and this is as it should be. Brooklyn Opera House. Miss Rachel Denvil announces her intention of opening the Opera House in the Eastern District on Tnursday evening. If Miss Denvil Is snpported by a company at all like herself, she may confidently anticipate a lasting" success.

THE MANUFACTURE 6F GUSS, THE OFFAL CONTRACT. Alderman Guck, from the special committee to whom Ihe bios for removing offal, dead animals and night soil, had been referred, reported that the lowest bid, thjtt of John Kuhn, was informal, and the sureties, as appeared from an examination of them, under oath, by the Committee, were clearly insufficient.

The next lowest was that of Thomas H. Van Brunt, who offered Mr. WDlett Jarvlfl and Mr. Jarvis Whitman, well known citizens, as his sureties; and tbe Committee consequently reported a resolution In favor of awarding tho contract for the remainder of the year to Mr. Van Brunt, at $600 a month.

Aid. Whiting asked whether the city would not have to go on paying the old contractor, Mr. 8win, at $800 a month, until the new man coord get his preparations completed for beginning the work. Aid. Guck replied that Mr.

Van Brant was ready to begin tbe moment the contract was signed. Aid. Armfield said he would like to know a little more as to the nature of Mr. Van Brunt's preparations for the work. He felt interested in the question of docks, sb a representative of a ward whicuhad an extensive water front.

He wished to know where was the dock on which Mr. Van Brunt Intended to have tbe night soil damped It might be at a point where the dumping would be very offensive. Aid. Whiting contend that if Kubn's sureties were not sufficient the Committee should have allowed him to withdraw them and substitute others and in this way the work could have been done for $100 a month Instead of $800. Wheffier Kuhn or Van Brant got the contract, it was certain that the work would be done by tbe same parties, for both these biddere intended to transfer tbe work to the "Rendering Company." The city could have bad the same work done cheaper, and by the same parties, by adopting Kuhn's bid.

The report of the Committee was adopted, fourteen to ibree. Aid. O'Keeffe moved to make the contract for one year, Instead of for seven months. The Chairman ruled this motion out of order. WELLS AND PTJMPS.

On motion of Aid. Guck, the contract for repairing wells and pumps of tbe Sixteenth Ward was awarded to H. J. Simon for the remainder of tho year 1803. at $200.

On motion of Aid. Brady, the contract for tbs well and pump repair of the Fourteenth Ward waB awarded to Charles Baker, at $033. On motion of Aid. Armfield the well and pump repair of the Thirteenth Ward waB awarded to John Holt, at $230. JiE NOMBEIirNG THE STREETS.

The Special Committee on re naming and re numbering streets submitted the following report That they have given the subject careful consideration and have endeavored to find a system ot renumbering that will supply the present need and be sufficiently elastic to be adapted to the constantly occurring changes incident to the growth of cities, and yet providing a permanent and consecutive numbering. The Committee propose to use the maps and surveys In the office of the Board of Assessors, as tho basis of the eystnm. The city has been surveyed and mapped ont to a large extent in lots of 25 feet front, and property has been sold, bub divided and builtupon, on this basis. Tbe Committee propose to assign to each of these origiral lota, or to a frontage of 25 feet, two per manentnumbers. tho surplus number to bo available for any sub division of the lot tbat economy of space may render necessary or in olher words, the Committee propose to assign to everv twelve and a half feet ol frontoge a permanent lot'number.

If the original lot is occupied by one bniiding only one of the numbers will be used, unless applied to side entrances, The Committee propose to number the entire frontage of the streets, so that corner lots will be numbered on two streets. The length of the blocks being readily ascertained from the maps, the numbers to be left for unoccupied spaces can be calculated with exactness and permanent numbers assigned to lots far beyond the built up portion of any street Tbe plan involves but little expense, as it is proposed to use the office and organization of ibe Board ol Assessors with whatever additional clerical lorce may be necessary, and ihe Committee offer it as the best general plan and fixed rule they can adopt. The Committee offer for adoption the following resolutions: Resolved. Tnat this Common Council do hereby adopt the plan contained In the foregoing report as the system on which the streets of the city shall be re nnmbercd Retolved, that the Street Commissioner be and iB hereby directed to advertise for proposals for mtking copies of tbe ward maps In the office of the Board of according to specifications to be prepared by tbe Special Committee on re numberiDg streets. The report was adopted.

James Buchanan. Therefore resolved that the keeper of tho City Hall be directed to cause tho flags of the city to he suspended at half mast until after the funeral of the deceased statesman and patriot shall have taken place Aid.

In private, he was never weary of assuring those who would listen to him that he would have no difficulty in proving to the South that their rights were in no danger. Mr. Buchanan has been denounced for not inaugurating war, but what would be said of him if he had done so, before his opponents had a fair trial of whatever plan they had to offer to prove to the South that its cause was foolish and ridiculous What right had Buchanan to assume that the Republicans would sustain the war they blame him for not commencing? The New York Tribune was and is the foremost organ of its party. Its Editor claimed the credit of having nominated Mr. Lincoln, and it was not unreasonable to suppose that he was in his confidence.

A month after Mr. Lincoln's election, and whde South Carolina was preparing to adopt an ordinance of secession Tribune declared, "that while "tire right of secession was a revolutionary right, it existed nevertheless. We must," it said, "ever "resist the right of any State to remain in the "Union and nullify or defy the the laws there "of. To withdraw from the Union is quite "another matter; and whenever a considera "ble section of our Union shall deliberately resolve to go out, we "shall resist all coercive measures designed to keep it in. We hope never to live in a Republic whereof one section is pinned to another by bayonets." This was the accepted position of the party in whose interest Buchanan is assailed for riot making war.

Mr. Buchanan's offence, if any, in the eyes of those who so persistently vilhfied him is, that he gave them credit for statesmanship they did not possess, or dared not en foice and live, and in resigning the Presidency in peace to his successor, he assumed that he had some method of reconciling the whole country to the principles his supporters asked the people to endorse under this pledge. 'J he Nicolson Jobs Unshod Through Illegally. The Common Council passed resolutions yesterday awarding contracts for paving Pitrrepont street, Portland avenue, Fort Gteene Place to the Nicolson Pavement Company, on the lowest of their two bids, pretence of competition being made to get over the provision of the charter designed to guard against imposition by monopolies. The Common Council has acted with undue haste in this matter, which taken in connection with the sudden change of opinion on the part of several members who have heretofore stoutly opposed the swindle, looks suspicious.

The law requires that all bids for work required by the city, after being opened shall be advertised in the corporation newspapers for ten days before they are finally acted upon. The official notice containing the proposals for Nicolson Pavement on the streets named, will be found on the fourth page of to day's Eagle, under the head of corporation notices, and as will be Ecen by reference, it is dated May 27, and had only been published five days when the Common Council awarded the contracts. The objection we urge may look like a mere technicality, but it really involves the legality of the whole proceedings. Under the order of the Common Council the contract may be executed and the contractors proceed with the work, and the city is responsible for their pay but when the assessment comes to be levied any property holder may raise the question of legality of the procedmgs, and by showing that the provisions of the law have not been complied with the assessment is vitiated, not a dollar can be collected from the property owners on the street, and the city at large must pay for these improvements. The requirement that proposals must be advertised for ten days before acceptance, is an important provision designed to afford parties interested an opportunity of protecting themselves, by giving them time to examine the proposals to see if they are all right and that no trickery has been practised.

It is designed to guard against traudulent bids, and at the same tune it protects honest contractors, remaps me majority of the Common Council, who voted to award the conducts yesterday, did not intend to disregard this requirement of the law; it may have been an oversight on the part of the advocate of the Nicolson jobbers in theBoard, who was in a hurry to rush the jobs through. But it is certain that if the contracts are made and car, ried out under the resolutions adopted yester. day, the property holders on Pierrepont street, Portland avenue and Fort Greene" Place are likely to get their streets repaved at the expense of the city, the proceeding being irregular the local assessments cannot be collected. The tax payers at large will look to Mayor Kalbfleisch to protect them from the danger of this imposition by vetoing the resolutions. From the vote yesterday it is evident that the Nicolson men have secured a sufficient majority to override the Mayor's veto but the delay in consummating the contracts will bring the proceedings within the legal requirements, and relieve the city from the risk of having to pay for the work.

Let those who want, and who will have the benefit of the Nicolson Pavement, pay for it, that is what we want to make sure. How to Celebrate tbe Fourth of Jul v. The Fourth of July is only five weeks off, and a committee of the Common Council "is now considering the programme for the celebration of the day. Our suggestion that a military parade should be one of the features of the occasion meets with the approval of most of the officers ot the local military organizations, who want to show the public what they are doing, and arouse a more general interest in military matters. The Aldermen have more money than is needed for fireworks and firing salutes, and they cannot make a better use of it for the public gratification than by applying it towards the expenses of a military parade.

The only outlay will be for music, each regiment will want a band, but we believe they are willing to contribute something themselves towards the expenses, and will meet the Common Council halfway. Let the Fourth of July Committee call on General Duryea and ascertain the views of the military men upon the subject of a general parade, and what the expense will be. As the interval is growing short prompt action is necessary, that the proper arrangements may be made. Our customary way of celebrating the Fourth of July, in the hurrah style and amid a blaze of gunpowder, may not be the most rational, but it accords with the American idea of a jubilee. Exercises of a quiet sort, particularly of an oratorical character, have been failures.

We remember the last attempt at indoor exercises in this city, on the Fourth of July, 18C3, when the Academy of Music was opened for patriotic exercises, including an oration by an eloquent and distinguished member of the bar.

The Board of Aldermen met yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, Alderman Bergen in the chair.

THE FIREMEN'S ELECTION. The Superintendency of Buildings and other offices created under the new fire law, gave rise to an animated discussion. Aid. Bergen presented a communication from Dom inick Roche, President of the Board of Trustees of the Fire Decertifying to the election of Mr. Pryor Borkc, as Superintendent, Mr.

Foley as Clerk, and the parties heretofore announced, as Inspectors, of Buildings 1 Aid. Thome asked if the communication was signed in the regular way by the Secretary of the Board of Trustees? Tbe Clerk replied in the negative. Aid. Thome then presented affidavits in opoosition to tbe proposed confirmation. One of these documents was Bigned by himself.

Mr. Samuel Bowdcn, Secretary of the Board ef Trustees, and fourteen other members of the Board of Trustees. It certified that each and all of the parties signing, had voted for JameB Wright for Inspector, while the tellers reported only twelve votes given for him. Upon this proof that the vote was not properly counted and declared to the Board of Trustees the parties asked the Aldermen to investieate the matter hefore confirming the elections. Another document was a protest from Dennis tilattery against tho confirmation, on the cronnd that the tellers reported for bim but six voteB, while appended to his protest were affidavits from eleven Trustees who swore they had voted for him.

If the matter were referred to a committee he had no doubt he conld show that he had received votes enongh to elect him. The parties signing the affidavits were Thorne, Mr. Secretary Bowden, and nine others. Aid. Thorne also argnoa that Mr.

P. Korke was not eligible for the Buperln tendency, not having been an underwriter for ten years as required by the act. He moved that tho matter be referred to the Law Committee for investigation, so that they might inquire into the allegation of the affidavits and also into the eligibility of Mr. Korke under the law. The law in question was iniquitous enough in itself, and it should not be made more so in its operation by a successful fraud being allowed in filling the places under the Act.

Alderman O'Keeffe contended that the Common Council had notbms? to do with tho before tbe Trustees. Thcjr duty was either to confirm orrcjectihe nominations, it would be only waste of lime to the contestants for this Board to undertake the proposed investigation. Aid. McGroarly submitted affidavits from W. H.

Windsor, of Alleghany county, formerly seccetary and vice president of the Corn Exchange Insurance and Irom Arthur W. Lowrie, of New York, for ten yearB connected with said company, certifying that Mr. Korke bad lor over ten years been an underwriter in connection with tbe company in question. Aid. Thorne said the office of the company was within a slone's throw of Wall street ferry," the President of it was a resident of the city, and why did not Mr.

Rorke's friends go to him for a stotement extracted from the records of the company, ae to Mr. Rorke's connection with it. Why should they have to go to a man in Alleghany county for proof, if the thing was straight and fair There must be some fraud about it when the Secretary of tho Board oi Trustees refused to sign, and when the party dared not go to the company's officers for evidence of his connection with it. If the thing was right, and Mr. Rorko and the others had been fairly 'elected, there could be no harm in reterring it to the Law Committee one of the fairest Comm'ttees in the Board for a report next week.

It was Baid that this Board had only to confirm or reject. True, but this involved the right to investigate. They could not be asked to con fiim a fraud, and they had evidence before them that the Board of Trustees had been imposed on. Aid. Guck spoke in favor of ihe reference.

Aid. O'Keeffe said tbe reason why the affidavit of the gentleman from Alleghany county was taken instead ol that of the preBent President of tho company was that tbe former had been connected with the company while Mr. Korke was, and the latter had not been. The explanation of the whole matter was that there were two parties in tho Fire Department, one pnliiDg against tbe other, and it would be only a loss of time to investigate. Who were the tellers at the ballot in tbe Board of Trustees 1 The Clerk Justice Delmar and Mr.

Hugh Campbell. Aid. O'Keeffe said both of these were honorable men, and i. was not to be supposed that they were capable of returning the vote falsely. Aid.

Thorne said, their conduct in the matter did not li ok very honorable, when the affidavits he had presented were taken into account. Tue officers who weie to enter on these places would have important duties to diECharge, and the city might be involved in thousands of dollars expense if there were any doubt of their title to the office. Property owners would not allow these officers to dictate to them in re Bpect to taking down or alteiing buildings, if they were not legally entitled to the authority they undertook to exercise. Then the matter would got into Court, and the city would be largely mulcted in law costs. Aid.

O'Keeffe said Mr. Rorke was well known to the members of the Board. They knew that he was not a man to go on and order things to be done wh.ch he bod not a clear legal right to enforce, bat he was one who would fullr carry out the provisions of the law in preventing unsafe buildings from being erected. He moved the confirmation of Ihe nominations. Aid.

Arm field hoped they would not now be confirmed. If there had been fraud and the Board in tbe face of it confirmed the nominees without investigation, they would make themselves parties to the wrong doing. No one conld suffer, fora week's delay, while the matter was being investigated Aid. Whi'Ing held that the Act gave the Common Council power merely to confirm or reject, and not to investigate. Aid.

Thorne said the confirmation was being hurried through this Board, just as the law itself was hurried through the Legislature, before any one could investigate or find anything out about it. The Act was drawn so as to confine the choice of Superintendent to a practical build der, and in that shape the bill was published. Then it was altered and made to read, "an underwriter of ten years' experience, and an exempt fireman for five years," instead oi "a practical builder," thus misleading the depaitment and the public as to its provisions. voted for by Aid. Thorne, Merceln.

Armfield, Cunning bom, Whiting and Gack, the other members, twelve in number, voting no. Aid Whiting advocated postponement of the matlnr on the gronnd that there baa been grave charges of jraua hdu iuu nuuia ougur, nor. to act witnouc giving time for inquiry. Aid O'Keeffe, in some remarks on the subject, intimated that there had been so many paid officers put into the Fira Department that he was now disposer! to have a paid department altogether. Aid.

Thorne said the grossest fraud he had known in the Fire Department was that perpetrated on Friday night in the nomination of these men.andAld.O'Keeffe knew that, it was a fraud. Aid. O'Keeffe said these men who had been nominated were Democrats, but they belonged to a sectton of tbe parly from which he had never received any favors. They had never done anything toward him but opposition and endeavor to injure him. The only friend of his in the contest was a young man connected with a company in hie ward, who had been defeated, tbe firemen having gone back on him, but he regarded this as a matler fur the flrcmeu themselves, and therefore was in favor ofcotfirming the parties nominated by tbe Board of Trustees.

Aid. Whitnty moved to reconsider the vote refusing to refer the matter to the Law Committee for reconsideration. The Chair ruled that the motion was out of order. Alderman Thorne appealed from the decision. The appeal was lost and the chair sustained, 5 to 12.

The nominations wore then confirmed, 7 to 12. The announcement of the vote was received with applause among the numerous firemen In the lobby. NICOLSON PAVEMENT. The Gradinir and Pavinr? Committee, hr AlHprmmi Daniels, reported in fdvor of awarding a number of eouiruetB ror mreer wor. xne onrv ones which presented any feature of interest was the award to the Nicolson Pavement Company of the contracts for the re paving oi Fort Greene place.

Portland avenue, and PicrrepriBt sireet. The resolution contained a clause, inserted by Mr. C. W. Wjlie.

of the Street Commissioner's ciuce, who acts as Clerk to the Committee, providing that the city authorities shall have the privilege of iuakiog repairs on payment of a nominal royalty, and that the city shall not be held liable by Ihe Company, or be prosecuted by them, for infringement of the patent, for making such repairs. The reports were adopted by the votes of all the members except Aldermen Whitney, Markey, Richards and Guck 35 to 4. SCRIMSHAW PAVEMENT. The Grading and Paving Committee also reported in favor of allowing Ihe Scrimshaw pavement to be laid where desired by the property owners as a sidewalk, the Company reserving to the city power to repair the same. Aid.

Whiting opposed the resolution, claiming that nntier it this pavement might be forced on a street where the people, or a portion of them, wanted flagging. Aid. FiBhcr waB opposed to the Scrimshaw, from what be bod seen of the sticky specimen in front of tbe Times office in South Seventh Btreet. AW. Guck admitted that the Times sidewalk wis a bad one, but said he had Been another specimen laid by the same company in front of Mr.

C. W. Goddard's premises, which was harder than flagstone, In all wea'heis. Aid. O'Keeffe was opposed to having varieties of sidewalks he wanted all flagging, throughout the city.

On motion of Alderman McGroarty the report was referred back to the Committee. STREET REPAIR APPORTIONMENT. Aid. Daniels, from the Grading and Paving Committee, also reported in favor of dividing the street repair fund among the different wards, as follows Ward. Amount.

Ward. Amount. 1 $000 11 $800 2 BOO 12 800 3 700 13 1,200 4.. 600 11 800 5 1,00 15 BOO 6 1,500 IS (too 7 SCO 17 1,000 8 1,200 18 300 1,400 19 500 10 1,700 20 800 Aid. O'Kciflc contended that SSOO was quite inade qnateto the necessities of Ihe Twelfth Ward, as Hamilton avenue alone needed five or six hundred dollars ot pair.

Aid. Whiting also opposed the appointment, alleg. ing that according to the amounts allowed to the Third and Fifth Wards, the Twentieth had not got its share. Aid. Bergen claimed that it was on equitable division and thatnofiva men in the Board could have divided tbe amount in the fund, $18,000, more fairly than the Gracing and Paving Committee bad (done.

Aid. Guck considered tbat under this plan of allot tlrp a deftuite snm to each ward, to be expended under the dirdion of the Alderman, in the course of two or three years the streets could be got into a proper slate. A motion to refer the matter back to the comnittoe was lost by 15 to 3. Aid. Cunningham moved to add $200 to the amount for the Fifteenth Word.

Several other additions were suggested. Aid. Bergen said tbat making any addition to the amounts would kill the report, as the funds in band would not allow of more being given out. The report was adopted without alteration. THE rtJBUC LIGHTS, Aldeiman O'Brien, Irom the Gas Committee, re fiorted in favor of awarding the contracts for public amps and public buildings in the districts of the three GaB Companies, as follows Brooklyn Gas Company, $3 25 per thousand feet lor both lamps and buildings: two cents per lamp per night for lighting and extinguish ing, and $2,700 for keeping the lampB In repair.

The report was adopted. THE CARTMEN'S GRIEVANCES. The following report from the Commissioners to whom the petition of tho public cartmen for a change of thecity ordinances, bad been referred, was presented by Aid. FiBhcr and adopted: The Law Committee to whom was referred the petition praying for an amendment of the ordinance relative to licensing of cartmen, respectfully report the following ordnance for tbe consideration of the Board: The Common Council of the City of Brooklyn do ordain as follows: Section 1, Chapter 2, Article 1, Section, of the ordinance of tbe city of Brooklyn is hereby amended by striking out the following words: "Shall own a good horse and cart over and shrive all debts due by him" and as the sameocenra In lines 10 and 11 ol said section, as printed in McCloskey's edition or said ordinances, and also by striking out the words "the actual and bona fide owner thereof," in the 181b and 10th lines of said section, so printed as aforc The Superintendents of the Poor Want $75,000 More Interesting Debate on the Subject Xhe New Parade Gronnd What It Will Cost for Its Construction and maintenance The New Superintendent of the Poor for the Second Dls trlet tEOs Salary Is axed at $2,800 per annnm, Dating from the 1st of January, 1867, Ace.

The Board of Supervisors met yesterday afternoon, tbe President, Supervisor Osborne, in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. THE RECENT ACCIDENT AT NEWTOWN CREEK. Sup. Clark presented a communication rtom J.

Kelley, a resident at Hunter's Point, asking lobe reimbursed in the Bum of $857 tor the loss of his horso and wagon, in Newtown Creek, recently, through the alleged carelessness of the man who was placed In charge of the light which should have atarmecf travelers of tne absence of the regular bridge. The matter was referred to the Law Committee. THE SUPERINTENDENTS OF THE POOR. Sup. Bloom presented the following communication: To the Hon.

the Board of Supervisors of Kings Co. Gentlemen undersigned. Superintendents of tbe Poor of Kings County, respectfully apply to your honorable boay for an additional appropriation of $75,000. We have, during the past year, built a large kitchen and operating room, and introduced gas in the building, which Improvements have considerably reduced the annual estimate made by your honorable body. The number of inmates during the past winter was very much larger than the year previous, and the expense lor tho support of Ihe poor proportionably greater.

We have also been called upon to expend in tho die tribution of temporary relief more money tor suppiios than was intended In the annual estimate, and this large increase is owing to the want ot employment of hands in almost all trades and pursuits daring the winters of 1W7 and 1808. It will be impossible tT carry on the affairs and conduct the business during the remainder of the year without, at least, the Bum of $75,000. Respectfully submitted, Coiutemus Fbroubos. John J. Soott.

John Delanct. Hkhbt Conn John Montgomery. Sup. Bloom moved tbat tho petition be granted tup. Scholcs hoped that the reqacst of the Superintendents wonla not be complied with.

The work done at the Almshouse and Lunatic Asylum, for which tblB extra money was claimed had been done without any authorily of tbe Boaid, anil he hoped that ihe precedent would not be established of the Superintendents of the Poor spending as much money as tbey pleased first, and then coming to the Board afterwards. The Joint Board raised last year all the money which was aeked for the support of these iusti Intlons, and if ihey bad gone through that money before the end of the year in work which was not warranted by the Beard and for which the money was not raised, he (Sup. claimed that it was the duty of tbe Board to not only reiuse the proposition but to present theBe men for impeachment for spending money improperly. There was a certain amount ol money raised every year for the support of the poor and be (Sup. claimed tbat it was the duty of the Superintendent of tbo Poor to confine themselves to that nmumt; but instead of dotng bo, it was, he claimed, a notoilons fact tbat in this city we are spendiug every year twenty five or thirty percent, more for the support of the poor than any other city in the United States in propoition to our population.and it was time, in bis opinion, that this thing was put a stop to.

Sup. Bloom said there was now about due to ti employes of the Superintendents of the Poor and no money In the treasury to pay them. Kvery member of the Board understood that the severity of last winter made the coat of lelieving the poor much greater I ban was anticipated when tho appropriation was made, and tbe as Bertions of the Supervisor of the Nineteenth, to day, were just as broad and unfounded as tbose be waB continually making last year in reference to the Superintendents of the Poor. It was very easy to make charges, but it was also necessary to prove them. The bulking of the kitchen and operating room, and the introduction of gas were all necessary.

As to tbe legal power of the Superintendents of the Poor In the matter, they had tho right, in his (Supervisor Bloom's) opinion, to do just as they did It would be an utter impossibility for the Superintendents of the Poor to make every year an estimate which would answer for all such emergencies as were presented last winter, in the great amount or suffering Irom want of mplovment all over the city. Sup. Crookc said that according to the argument of Supervisor Bloom, it would seem that if the law meant an) thing it meant that the Baard was to supply the requirements of the Superintendents of Ih Poor to any extent ttey might cbooBs to ask. He, (Sup. had always supposed tbat the business or tbe Board or Supervisors was to supply the Superintendents of the Poor with the amount necessary for the relief and support or the poor, but if the argument of Supervisor Bloom were correct, then the Board of Supervisors had nothing to do but answer all tbe demands which the Superintendents ot the Poor might choose to make upon them.

There was an application for money for Ibe Superintendents, to pay for doiDg tbat which they bad no right to do and because the coutity credit has always been good it is now proposed to borrow 75.000 at the instance of tbe Superintendents of tho Poor. The fact had never been denied that thu Western District ol Brooklyn pays mot money lor out door relief than does the entire Cit of New York in the same time. He (Sup. claimed that the Board had no authority to authorize thi borrowing of this $75,000, and the County Treasnrer bad to rieht to lend it, because there was no authority to get it back again. In regard to the distribution of the moneys raised for Ihe relief of the poor durino the winter ihe Superintendents of the Poor were supreme and the Boura of Supervisors had no right to interfere with them but the Superintendents of the Poor had no right to put up a new building when there was no money appropriated for that work, and he would ask the BoarU to sustain themselves.

This Board was not a mere cat's Daw to draw the cbesnnts nnt nf th fin and diaw money out of tho treasury for the benefit of ine cnpennrenaenis oi me roor, ana tbat was just what tDey asked them to do. It was not for the Superintendents of the Poor, after they had beoa scattering money aronnd Ihe conntv. as with nhnni until they bad none left, to come to us on the 1st of uune anu tay, we aave expended so miny thousand dollars appropriated (or one purpose, to another, and now we have nomonty left. Why did they dolt Why it would be a matter of impeachment against the French nt of tbe United States if he had used the money raised lor special purposes for purposes for Tibtch lutac bad been no money raised. Ho moved tbat Ihe communication be referred to lire Law Committee.

Sup. Bloom said tbat there hao always been hostile feeling between some of the mcmberB of the Board or Supeivif ora and the Supeiintendeuts or Ihe Poor. It was very easy to make loose aUtements of all kindo Eitch as thnt New Tork spent less for out do.or relief than the Western District oi Brooklyn but why were not these Blatements proved. Sup. Crooke eaid the charges had been made and never been denied.

blip. Bloom claimed that the charitable Institutions of Kings County er! managed as economically as any others in the couLtry. These men were all elected and re elected by the people, and if one half or the charges so frequently ond bo frivolously made were true, none of them would be le elected. Tbe Supervisor or the Nineteenth had treated the members of ite Board to a threat of inipachm nt. Why did he not carry out hlB threat? Why, iacc ho has been in the Board there has not been a einglc measure affecting the interest or the Almshonee brou ht ud when trie Eame threat has not been made.

Let the gentleman carry out his threat, and when tbe management of tboe insulations under the charge of the Supe irtendents or the Poor was examined. It would be founa that they would compare favorably with auy olher county, nnd that the Superintendents uro as careful In tbe di of tbe moneys at their disposal as It is postible to be. Sup, Scholcs The canity treasurer told me last Jatuaiy that th Superintendents of the Poor were i penoiiig their money so fast, that it would not lait nniil July. If the necessity was so severe, why did tbev not go to the Legislature then, and apply for aulbotity lo raise more monev. The Mayor in his message lo the Joint Bjard spoko of the money spent by tbn Albany Commissions, but be (Sup.

The Iate Ex Presldcnt Bachanan. Jamea Buchanan, whose death, leaves but One man living who has been entrusted directly with the first office in the gift ot the people of Republic, was himself a striking example of the worth of our form of government in seeming for the individual a fair field for the exercise of such gifts as God has given him and this it is the very highest purpose of human governments to secure.

He was the Bon of an Irish emigrant, and was born eight years after his father landed on our Deprived Of Influential connections, as the Children of those who commence life in a new country necessarily must be, lie rose by his own efforts to the highest office any people in the world have it within then power to bestow. James Buchanan was indebted to his father for the opportunity of obtaining an excellent education, and he availed himself of it. At the age oi twenty one he was admitted to the bar and entered upon his profession. Within four years he had an assured reputation. At the age of twenty lhiee he was elected a member ot tie Legislature of his native State.

At the age of twenty nine he entered Congress, and early secured in that body a reputation as a national statesman. In 1828 he took the place of Daniel Webster as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. After being elected five successive terms he wilhdrew from Congress, and practically from the laborious duties of his profession, in which he had secured a well earned competency. Soon after he was nominated by President Jackson as Minister to Russia, and in that position he rendered his country conspicuous services. In 1831 he was elected to the Senate, and he at once took a ioremost place in that body as an advocate of Jackson's Administration anu was proud to feel Jackson's "own great "arm lean upon him for support." There were giants in the Senate in those days, and Buchanan was accepted a3 the peer of his gieat associates.

In every measure in which the peaceful extension of our empire was involved, Buchanan stood forward as the foremost defender of what was known as the manifest destiny doctrine. Under his theory of Confederated Republicanism, not merely the New World, but the Old might ally its destiny with the Great Republic, and find a Confederation which embraced the nations of the civilized world none to large. Called fey President Polk to a place in the Cabinet he showed so much vigor and sagacity in the management of our foreign affairs, that England was Willing to concede claims to the North Western territory, which she had once rejected, and Buchanan so clearly vindicated our rights in the dispute that the cry Of" fifty five forty or fight" rallied the nation around the position taken by our government. The Mexican war followed with all its astonishing successes over foreign and domestic enemies. Although the Republic was actually engaged in a conflict with a foreiga power, the opponents of the Administration in and out of Congress denounced it in every form and with unprecedented vehemence.

Whig leaders in Congress openly denounced their own government, and predicted and prayed for the defeat of its defenders then engaged in upholding the dignity of the flag on foreign soil. Mr. Corwin proclaimed that it was the right and duty of the Mexicans to welcome the American volunteers with bloody hands to hospitable grayes. Resistance was prolonged by this encouragement. The leading Whig press and the leaders of the Whig party openly justified the course of their representatives.

The Administration, of which Mr. Buchanan was the principal adviser, met this opposition not in the modern, but in the old American fashion. They vanquished it peacefully before the high tribunal of public upiuiou. newspaper was suppressed no opponent of the war was arrested the door of no Government bastile was closed upon an American citizen for exercising his light to freely criticize the conduct of his Government even when that Government as face to face with armed foes. With the return of the Democracy to power in 1852, Mr.

Buchanan was selected as Minister to England. The difficulties with Spain growing out of ner possession of Cuba had long occupied the attention of our government. At Mr. Buchanan's suggestion our representatives at European Courts met at Ostend, and indited the famous protocol in which the pretensions of European powers to interfere with this continent were exposed, and in which the policy was baldly advocated of releasing once for all the hold Spain still retained on the Western World. A fair price was offered for Cubs, and if that was not accepted it was held that it was not for Spain to complain if she failed in resisting the Bpread of Republican Empire, and secured nothing but trouble for her useless officiousness.

Complaint was made abroad and echoed by opponents of Democracy at home that the usual courtesy existing between nations at peace was violated at the Ostend DieetiDg. The Democracy of which Mr. Bu. chanan was then the foremost leader treated the foreign aggressors and their apologists at home, in what Choate in announcing his accession to the Democracy so happily characterized as "a spirit of gay and festive defiance." It is common to speak of Mr. Buchanan as a feeble minded man.

It must be admitted that his political life up to this time at least, more than refuted this Stigma. The Conservative party had settled on Mr. Buchanan as the candidate with whom it was possible, if at all, to stem the tide of sectionalism on which both sections were rapidly drift log towaids war. He returned from England to accept the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. Nineteen States, confined to neither section, ratified the selection as President.

Of his administration of the government the time has not come to speak with a chance of addressing the unbiassed judgment of the people. The passion then excited has not had time to cool the lava is still burning beneath our tread. No man was ever tried with sorer difficulties. He was the Chief Magistrate of the Whole country. He was elected as the representative of a party which found no difficulty in governing the whole country prosperously and at peace.

He foresaw and predicted that the principles enunciated by his opponents would lead to war, if tbey were given the opportunity of enforcing them. He was called upon to meet a conflict which he had no hand in provoking, and which he held to be unne cessary. One month after it was known that Mr. Lincoln had been elected. South Carolina passed an ordinance of secession, and five or six other States were preparing to follow her example.

Mr Buchanan had but three months to serve. He might have initiated war and left it as a legacy to his successor. But it would be cruelly unjust to the masses of the Republican party and possibly to many of its leaders to say that they were prepared to accept civil strife as a consequence of their success; in other words that they relied on the rude instrumentalities of force to govern the whole country. Up to and after the close of his term, patriotic men in Washington were laboring to effect a solution of the pending difflcnliies. The first blow Btruck would have Drought their patriotic purpose to a close.

I Men say Buchanan might have nip ped the rebellion in the bud. How? i No resources of statesmanship were left to him, for he was about to resign the government to othere. Ho had not the re quisite force at his disposal to do so and a Bepublican House of Representatives, wisely i We think under all the circumstances.hesiiat ed to place it there. Mr. Lincoln had announced that Governor Seward would lave the foremost place in his Cabinet, and lie was certain to be its leading spirit.

As late as December, I860, Mr. Seward ridiculed tbe notion in public that a war between ie two sections was possible. In Street Numbering. The Committee which has been considering the subject of re numbering the streets for over three months submitted a report to the Common Council yesterday, in favor of adopting Aid. Cunningham's plan of allowing one number to every twelve and a half feet of frontage, so as to guarantee a sufficiency of numbers of all the houses that may be built under any possible sub division of lots.

The plan is a clumsy one at best, but as the Committee were in a hopeless muddle and there was no prospect of their agreeing upon any other plan, this was accepted. The chief recommendation of this plan seemed to be its simplicity, it might be carried out by directing the Street Commissioner to have the houses re numbered in accordance with it, taking the Assesors' maps as a guide. This, however, the Committee have not proposed but recommended that new maps be prepared in accordance with their plan, and with this recommendation, which the Common Council has adopted, the Committee rests, the subject goes back to them, probably for another three months. At this rate of progress nothing will be done this year, and the public will have to put up for the present with the inconvenience and annoyance caused by the confusion in the numbering on many of our business thoroughfares. How to number houses in regular arithmetical order seems to be too profound a problem for the Aldermanic mind to grasp.

News. On local news the Eagle has established its claim to have distanced all competitors; but in foreign topics wo must give our cotemporaiics credit for publishing some exclusive items of intelligence. The Morning Union of yesterday states that Lord Brougham is still living at Cannes, and enjoying robust health. The E. D.

Times stated a few days ago that the family of John Leech, the English caricaturist, were in receipt of a pension from Lord Palmer ston, which they would lose on the death ot that nobleman. The news that these noblemen still live will astonish some folks on the other side of the water. Topics of To 'Day. As an offeet to the two horse omnibus the one horee niinnibus has been introduced In New York. It is a Scotch cab or "ehay," comfortably carrying six persons, and having tho driver's box separate from the body on the springs of the front wheels.

The representatives of the Army of the Potomac contemplate an organization similar to the societies of the Western Armies, and to that end a call has been issued. The Teutonic elements of New York society were salient yesterday. Whitsuntide or Pfingst Montag was celebrated with much fervor. There was mnfcession of alnointy Rocinites and Tni i. lions.

Jones's Wood was theBceneof apic nicand Cbncert, and festivities were indulged 5n at various parks and gardens. The Germane eujoyed themselves in their characteristically genuine and well ordered way. yesterday's affair, however, was but an appetizer for the grand fecautz shortly to be held. The Tribunes economy ot head lines and its studied imitation ot the non displaying system of the London Timet occasionally involves it and its readers in a sad paragraphic mixture. To day, for example, an item referring to the proposed enlargement oi the Church of the Pilgrims iB so arranged as to locate that ecclesiastical edifice in the city of New York.

The facts of this item are of course appropriated from the Eagle, and, as usually happens to papers over the liver when they make mention of Brooklyn affairs, incorrectly stated. Dr. Storrs, if he reads the Tribune, will leam with surprise that "a pastor's residence" is to bo built In tbe rear orhis church. Another blunder of the Tribune credits this city with a sportive "crib" tbe like of which has no existence outside of New York. A morning paper states that a confidential clerk in a New York house has been arrested for embezzlement.

He is reported to have squandered tno misappropriated money some $9,000 on an actress Instead of naming the lady orsayingnothingabouther the paper says she will shortly appear on the Metrol politan stage. By thus suggesting the inevitable qnes ion. Who is she? suspicion, which must be unjust in every case but one and irhaps in that, is directed toward ail actresses having professional engagements in New York this summer During the session of the Democratic Na tioLal Convention, Masonic Hall, in Thirteenth street, will be the headquarters of the Pendleton Club of the West, who will appear in full force, 1,000 strong, with a band of iorty pieccB. The Senate yesterday passed the bill for the admission of Arkansas. It returns to tho Uouae for action on amendments.

The Senate passed the resolution of thanks to ex Secretary Stanton by 37 to 11, Fowler, Henderson and Koss, Republicans, voting in the negative. An amendment thanking Chief Justice Chase for his conduct on the Impeachment trial was rejected by 11 to SO, the Bame Republicans voting in the aflirmative. In Committee of the House of Representatives yesterday Schenck made a long speech on the new tax bill. The Committee on the Washburne Donnelley difficulty reported that the former had withdrawn all the charges affecting the latter as a member of the House, and that the Committee did not regard other matters as proper subjects of iuvestiga tionr A resolution suspending bo much of the guardroom resolution as requires lliss VInuie Heam to remove her model of Lincoln was tabled by 01 to 47.

That gallant and efficient military corps, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boa ton, celebrated its 280th annlvei6ary yesterday, by a parade, a sermon and a dinner.

The first was under command of General Banks, the second was delivered by Rev. Dr. Storrs, and the third was eaten at Faneuil Hall. Banks' term as Commander having expired George O. Carpenter was chosen as his successor.

The Saratoga season began by the calendar jesteroay, when the Union Hotel was opened, but some time will yet elapse before the victims of fashion and Bickness find their way thither in any considerable numbers. The systematic and enormous swallowing of the waters which heal or are supposed to heal and the pursuit of folly and iujrigae suspended In the hot wehtber in the city will fairly set in next month. The report that Father McMahon was flogged for reading Fenian papers in the Kingston, Canaia, jail is so outrageously absurd on its face that the prompt denial of the prison officers is probably well founded. Catharine E. Beecher writes to the Tribune 1o explain the purpose and progress of the American Woman's Educational Association, or which she is Secretary.

The managers of the enterprise began in a moderate way, by isaulng a work on domestic economy, which was and is used in female schools with maiked Eiiccess. Then was effected an organization to find employment lor school teachers at tho West. Mnch was accomplished in Ibis direction. The later and larger measure is tbe establishment of educational institutions including a preparatory school, a collegiate echool, and a professional school, wherein women shall be fitted for the duties of an active at useful lite. The Association Is incorporated under the presidency of Hon.

What the Glass Is Made From, and How tt ts manufactured A. Visit to the Largest Glass House tn the United States Interesting Facts, fcc. But very few people who use glass in all its forms, such as in bottles, vials, have any idea of the immensity of the business which theBe articles represent, and the rapid manner in which it his increased within the past twenty live years, for daring that time the quantity of glass manufactured for vari ions purposes has Increased in more than double proportion to that of any other manufacture. These facts were brought prominently to the notice of one of our reporters, during a casual visit to the Gliss Works ot B. B.

Haggerty Bituated in Smith stteet, near the bridge, and it occurred to him that a short description of the works would not be without interest to the general reader but first, a few words as to the enterprising proprietors or the establishment. Mr. B. B. Haggerty and his brother, who are the principal proprietors, arc eminently self made men.

WhenB. B. Haggerty commenced business, about twenty years ago, there was not a glass house this side of Jersey, while all the finer descriptions of apothecaries' vials, were imported from Germany. Mr. Haggerty determined to change.all this, and to that in connection with his brother, Mb efforts have been directed, until they now ran the largest glass business in the United States, keeping no lesB than seven factories employed in addition to the one visited by our reporter, and which is used principally for the manufacture of botlles.

The buildings which comprise the works occupy an entire blcck, having a front of 340 feet on Smith street, and running thence back to the caual some 270 feet. The principal building, which contains the furnace, is situated in the centre, and is built of brick, three stories in height, with a front of some fitly feet on Smith Btreet, and seventy five feet deep. Accompanied by Mr. P. J.

Regan, the affable manager of these works, our reporter made a short tour, 1I13 first place visited being THE MIXING ROOM, which is situated on the ground floor. It 1b a large room with a brick floor and a high ceiling, and in it are immense heaps of sand, soda, ash, and lime, all of which are used in various proportions for the of tbe different sorts of glass required. Atone end of tho room is an immense trough at which two men are busily at work in mixing the ingredients above mentioned, and others to which we shall allude, properly. This mixing Is a matter which requires a good deal of care, not only as to the ingredients being put in In proper proportions, bnt also as to their being properly mixed so tbat caoh ingredient shall be distributed as nearly as possible equally through the To give an idea of the relative proportions oi these ingredients, and the number of them, our reporter was furnished with the following as the contents of one pot going into the furnace, viz: 500 pounds of Band, 20 ounces of black lead, 40 ounces of powdere coal, 50 pounds of rock Bait, IB pounds of manganese, and 15 pounds ol soda, In order to produce the different colors in glass, various other chemical ingredients arc put in the mix before it is consigned to tho furnace. From this department, following the course of the manufacture, he next finds himseif In THE BLOWING AND FURNACE ROOM, and this Is really the main point of attraction in the building.

I' 1b a room somewhat circular in form, and in the centre is a huge furnace of such capacity tbat its daily food consists of ten tons of coal and four cords of wood. In this fnrnaco, with tho exception of the months of Jnly and August, when It is necessary to build a new one always, tbe fire never goes out, link la oItvojo heph fc ft wbllo bent bj tbo aid of bel lows worked by steam power. Night and day during ten months of the year men stand round this furnace pouting in coal and wood now and then to its devouring hunger. Each evening eight earthern pots are placed In this furnace, and while the fierce fires rage all night, in the moruing the mixture alluded to above, with which tbo pot waB filled, is a mass of molten fire, which is soon to be transformed Into glass bottles and viols of every description, from the smallest homeopathic vial to the largest demijohn. Around this furnace, when our reporter entered, were Bome forly or fifty men and boys, all busily at work.

They form two rings around tho furnace, the inside ring being composed of the men blowers, and the outside of the boys on them. Tho process of glass blowing appears to the casual observer lo be very simple, but on investigation it is found to require for most kinds of work, and especially bottles, a great aeol of experierce. Each blower has an iron tube about five feet long. He dips one end of the tube into the pot ctntainiag the liquid glass, which looks just like liquid fire he turns it around in the pot until enough of the stuff has adhered to It to form tho bottle, jor, or vial which he is working upon he then pulls Ihe rod out and rolls the esd that has tbe glass on it, backward and forward overa smooth stone, until the glass bos taken the sbapc ol a small bag. HethenpulB this on a mould which he openB and closes with bis foot, and blows through the pipe, when the glass is blown out the shape of the mould, and here is where the delicacy of the operation commences.

Each bottle is ordered to be of a certain weight and holcing capacity, it therefore requires a great beal of experience to be able to manage so tbat these conditions shall be fulflllcd.bccause as the blowers are oil paid by the piece for their work, all bottles wLich do not arc rejected, and the blower gets no pay fer them. Blowers when workiDg steadily average from $25 to $40, and sometimes even $50 a week. On completing tho blowing process, Ihe blower opens the mould with his foot, and then the bottle, or vial, or whatever description of vcbbcI it may be is taken bold of on an iron supporter by a boy and carried to the oven, of which there are sixteen, around the furnace room. Hera, as well as in the furnaces, a constant heat Is kept up, but considerably lesB in degree; the glass wara iskept here for three days for the purpote of being properly annealed, when it is token out and transferred to THE PACKING ROOM to bo properly packed in boxes for dispatch to its des tlration. Althoueh apparently but a minor department, after the manufacture is completed the business of packing is really one of the most Important the packing requires considerable experience and skill, and as these are'more or lesB exercised, the profits of lie blower Increase or diminish, and it Is to this room therefore that he looks with dread.

In filling np an order every article before being packed away in its bed of straw is carefully examined, and If found defective in any particular, either from defective IhickncES or other flaw, it is mercilessly thrown Into a heap of other broken bottles, and tho blower is only paid for tbeso bottleB which remain good and sound and are packed. The spoiled waro is not, however, altogether lost, for it is re melted iu tho furnace, and again formed into bottles which will probably pasB muster. Betides all the broken glass mide at the works the firm purchase all ihey can procure at the rate of from ten to Dlteen dollars a ton. These are the principal features or the establishment, so far aB the mere manufacture of the glassware is concerned, bnt in addition to these there ore a great many other features of interest which our spoce will not allow us to detail. Some idea of tho extent of tho wotkB may be inferred from the fact that nearly a million articles ol glass ware are made every month, and packed In boxes, which, as well as everything else necessary to be used in the business, is made on the premises, and for this purpose there are carpenter's shop, blacksmith shop, a potmaker's shop, a where the demljuhns are covered with the wicker work which prevents them from breaking, and a great many other interesting features which our spaco will not allownsto go into at length, but sufficient has been said to give an idea of the interesting nature of the business.

Drill ofB. Company, 13th Regiment. A large number of ladies and gentlemen congregated at the Arsenal lu Portland avenue last evening to witness the drill of company, 13th Regiment, N. G. It was the closing drill of the season and the company paraded in the new dress uniform lately adopted by the Regiment.

This uniform Is very hand, some, the cloth Is grey; tbe coat Is cut In tbe pattern of dress coat, and is trimmed with black. Tbe dnll was sboit but was excellently gone through with; the manual of arms and the various company.evolutious were perforated with a precision and regularity that beepoke the care tbat has been used in the drill daring the past season. At the close of the drill, the band mounted the platform, and to its music the assemblage tripped the fantastic until a late hoar. Fourteen dances were gone through with, under tbe direction of Captain Baldwin. Among the visitors, were General Jonrdon, Lieut.

Col. Dakin, Major Mason, ol the 13th Regiment Lient. Tally, of the 1st Artillery, Lieut. Amborc, oi tbe Howitzer Battery, and Captain JohnBon, ot the 701b Regiment. The daughter of the Regiment, MIbb Lucy Lyons, also lent her beoutifal presence to the occasion.

The following are the commissioned and non commissioned officers of the company: Captain F. A. Baldwin, 1st Ltent. fThomss Dean, 2d. Llcnt W.

The fruit prospect in Passaic county, ia unusually promising. BUSTEED IN A BAD BOX The Hump a nt Richard as Seen Through Official Spectacles He Seems Ignorant, Corrupt and Tyrannical. We had fondly hoped that Mr. Brigadier General Richard BusieedjUnlted States army, was per mently shelved, when he was hotetedjfrom the saddle on to the judicial bench, but It seems we wore mistaken. For many months after he was appointed it was "nrisnfe" for his milltaryship to venture within the pale of bis jurisdiction so he remained in New York and drew his pay with the regularity of a loyal Christian.

Finally he went South, much iurther than when he wore the epaulettes, and took his seat upon the bench. Rumors of all sorts and kinds of complications have been rife for more than a year, and his rencontre with the District Attorney there will not Boon be forgotten. At last it would seem that matters are brought to a bead by a PETITION TO THE SENATE and House or Representatives, praying lor an investigation Into the conduct and character of the Judge on tbe ground that he Is ignorant, arbitrary, tyranical and corrupt. Alter specifying sundry esses of professional ignorance as to the law of the land, and the law of the state, the petition goes on to say: On every occasion in whiclihe has presided on trials of infoimation for the condemnation of property as 0fl.aieu unaer inu acta ur ouiigreBS lor cue Sup pros elon of Ihe rebellion, he has refused to allow the claimants of tbe property a trial by jury: and has proceeded to sentence of condemnation, without reducing Ihe evidence to writing, except in such notes as he chose to take of the evidence, and which he keens bimsciramocg his private papers, and yet constantly refers to as part of tbe record. It is also a fact which will be established by the clerk of tbe Court and many other witnesses, fiat this Jaoge adiourns Mb Court without hnvinn.

nnirioBTnan of Ihe judgments rendered in the common law side of the Court, and permits the clerk to enter minures of juuguieuiB mumuts airer iuc aojournment ot the Court. In support of the charge of ignorance and incompetency, the recoids of the Comt may be examined. They will demonstrate the fact and the whole bar will concur in declaring that ihey have never witnessed 6uch lamentable incapacity even in the most iniericr tribunals of the State. Ab to bis arbitrary and tyranical conduct, no description of it can do justice to tie subject. He habitually outrages and inBults counsel, parties, or.d witnesses before bim, and seems so entirely nn conecionsol what is due to the dignity of his office ar.d common decency, that he is Burpneed when they retire indignantly from his Court, disclaims all intention of r.fience, and begs them to return to practice before him.

Eveiy member of the bar of.Montgomcry andlMobilo will be a witness to these facts, and if there be any exception it will be found in the late District Attorney at Montgomery, who was removed from office for Ignotance, incapacity ami malversation in office, and who is strongly suspected or baviog adinieistered bis office as part cf a partnership, in which the Judge, wbo decided tbe causes, was the other partner. The latter charge can be lul snstained by a chain of circumstantial evicencc, conclusive in itself, but too voluminous to be recitel here, and will form a chief leatnre in tbe charge of corruption against the JuCge. As to tbe main charge of corruption It ennnov be expected that a decen man cou'd know personolly anything of the main fuct, tbe actual receipt ef money by a Judge for judicial action. But counsel know of intmy things which they do not know personally They can name persons who will be able to make proof or corruption, and they can be and frequently are satiBfled from what they do know, that bribes have been given and received; and if any body of men authorized to make investigation into such matters should be sent to this point or Mobile, the writer of the petition and olher gentlemen whom he knowp, will furnish the names of witnesses who will prove facts which would convict the unjust jndge beyond all reasonable doubc. The ofheers of tue Court so far as he has the selection of them, are fit agents for the purposes for which a corrupt man wonld require them.

He solicits men to bringJcauecB beforeibim, consults with them and their counsel while they are before him, and it is fair to infer, as there can be no honest motive for such conduct, that it is upon some hope or expectation of reward. Such is his niter neglect and contempt for Judicial integrity and bis oath of office, tbat the result of a trial before him may be predicted with tolerable certainty, without reference to the facts of the case, if either party is upon specially agreeable terms with him. And some cases have occurred where strangers have been benefitted bv bearing the name of Borne friend of tbe Judge, and being mistaken for bim. The parties referred to as witnesses among the best men in the State of Alabama inclnding tho Governor' Governor elect, United States officers and well known citizens. What action Congress will take upon the subject we do not know what it should do, Is very clear.

Amusements. Park Theatre." The Streets of New York" occupied the attention of a large audience at the Park theatre laBt night. The play was carefully muaniea una excenenny casi. miss viola Crocker aal the spoiled pet of the rascally banker dressed afflW acted the rote to the life. Her entrance was enthusiastically welcomed, and her exit unanimously regretted.

Mrs. Conway played a ehrowd and winning card when she secured the available tact and talent of MisB Crocker, and we trust the engagement will be permanent. Miss Saville as Lucy Fairweather acted sweetly and modestly, and Mrs. Howard as Mrs. Puffy interpreted her bois tercus role with hearty emphasis.

Mr. Mestayer as Puffy. Mr. Lamb as Van, Mr. Saville as Mr.

Livingstone and Mr. Chippendale as the Sea Captain were severally gcod. Mr. Claude Hamilton essayed successfully the favorite part of Badger. His rise and progress were regarded with tho utmost interest by an attentive audience, and bis successful foiling of the vllliancns plans of his old employer met the uproarious approval of the people.

As a whole the play was admirably done, its spectecular points were effective and the tableaux artiBtlc.

A large attendance was secured last night by the very attractive bill detailed by us yesterday afternoon. We commend the week's programme to the liberal patronage of the public.

Broadway Theatre. Last evening Matilda Heron, with her own little delicate Camille," appeared at this theatre, and a very full houss gave the artist a very flattering welcome. It is now fouryeats since Miss Heron appeared on the Metropolitan boards, and her renfree was tbe subject of much comment among her many friends and admirers. Camille" was, of coiubc, selected as the best piece in which she could appear before a New York audience after so long an absence. And to say tbat she played her part with all the characteristic excellence of old, would but give an idea of tho very satisfactory manner in which she acquitted berself.

The character Is a peculiar one, and demands of those wbo attempts its interpretation a somewhat remarkable type of dramatic talent. Miss. Heron was loudly applauded, and the performance gave eminent satisfaction. Mr. JanTes Carden appeared in the rote otArmand and i ho pays III tic closer attention to his manner and the Inflexion of blB voice will make it a success.

Mrs. Gilbert was the Madame Prudence of the evening and gave her part in the finished style which has so characterized her successes heretofore. The balance of tbe cast with an occasional exception was quite acceptable Camille" will bo repeated every evening during tbe present week, and will be given at a matinee on Saturday.

Every color and thtde always on hand. Xi Fulton Street. mr28 Ut must take the form of outdoor display, and a military parade is the most attractive and suitable for the occasion. It is a long time since we had a full turn out of our local militia; we hear a good deal of, and occasionally see, some of the regiments on parade; we neither hear nor see anything of others, except in the proceedings of the Board ot Supervisors when bills are sent in for rent of armories.

Let us see the regiments all together and give them the benefit of a comparison. It is said that two of our local regiments exist only on paper; they have a full complement of officers, but scarcely a corporal's guard of privates, and that they are dotng no good to the service. Yet these regiments are just as much expense to the county for armories and other incidentals as the more effective organizations on which we should have to rely, in case of emergency requiring military assistance. If a general parade is ordered the public will be able to see what these regiments amount to. The law organizing the State National Guard requires that the ranks of every regiment shall be maintained at a certain minimum if they fall that they can be disbanded.

It would be better to disband these skeleton regimentst and save the county some five thousand dollars on each, and at the same time benefit.
