Mr.Fahys and Mr. Higglns also declined the nominations, so that la tbe fluul ballot there wero only four candidates, Murray, Bacon, Jarvlo and Jarman who, were elected tbe.new trustees. MOBS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BACON AFPAIB. Mr.

Goodrich said that alnoa ho had made his remarks touching tho slander ngninst Mr. Baoou, Mr, Mackay, an employe of J. Wilde 'of No. 92 Thomas street, New York, where Mr. Bacon made a purchase, bad come into tho room, and desired to make a statement.

Mr. Mackay said tbat be was much astonished and grieved to hear that his name had been used. In connection with an attack on Mr. Bacon. Ho remembered the circumstance of over two years ago, out of which these allegations grew.

Mr. Bacon came to tho atoro where ho is employed, mado a purchase for tbe church, and after agreeing to pay a certain' amount BUcooeded in getting a discount of 5 per which went to tbe benefit of the church. He nover meant it to be inferred from what be said at any time that Mr. Bacon was in any manner personally interested in the matter. Mr.

Goodrich Can the gentleman tell un' exactly what he eaid in referenco to the matter 7 I Mr. Mackay I said the church will lose nothing by having Mr. Bacon is one of the trustees, referring to his manner of making a church bargain. I meant nothing disparaging to Mr. Bacon, but quite tbo contrary.

At this point It leaked out, by an incidental remark from one of the brethren, that THE AUTHOB OF THE STOB7 THE BOSS STREET PRESBYTERIAN ODORCH. Iter. Dr. Arclilbald McCullouffb Accepts a Call Co Become lis I'ustor. Owing to the resignation of Eev.

Dr. William A. McGinley, the Boss street ProBbyterian Church of the Eastern Distriot has for some time past beon without a pastor. During that time the pulpit has been occupied by different olorgymen, among the number being Rev. Dr.

Archibald MoCullongh, of Germantown, Pa. As he at all timeB greatly pleasod the congregation by his oloquouce and ability, it was decided to request him to become permanent pastor of the Church, which requost the reverend gentleman has accepted. Air. McCullough has lor seven years boBn paBtor of tho Presbytorian Church at Germantown, which ho leaves in a prosperous and united condition. He has ft reputation for scholarship and pulpit ability, and as he baa preached on several occasions in the Boas street Church, ho is consequently well known among tho members of the congregation.

Under his ministry tho church will undoubtedly attain a prosperity such as it has not before known. TAXATION. The State A.ssessm.ent XJpon Brooklyn. Mr. Brlgffs Tolls the Mayor that TVo Haro Nothing to Complain of.

large, lam not sure that nine members would be enough. Fifteen suggested itself to my mind aa about the right number. The oity Is "now, in some way, divided Into fifteen sohool districts. I think If there were one from each district who wonld be in a special sense responsible for tbe sohools in bis distriot, it would be the best plan. But if, in the opinion of those who have had experienoe, nine members is enough, certainly we ought not to havo more than nine.

There is more or less difficulty in getting forty five members who are qualified for a position In the Board and who have time at their disposal to attend to the duties coming from the same, Doneat John French's Opinion. Honest John Fronoh said he bid not studied the charter oarefully enough to frivean opinion on all its points. He was in favor of single headed commissions, bnt thought tho Mayor should Appoint and tho Board of Aldermen confirm. Tbe proposition to elect the Aldermen by Assembly districts he looked upon as a movement in the interest of the Democratic party. It wonld be impossible, he thought, under anch an arrangement to ever get a Republican majority in the Board, Ex Mayor Samuel Booth said ho was opposed to single bead commissions on the ground that thoy afforded better opportunities for dishonesty than In cases where thero was mora than one head in each department.

Mr. Daniel Cbauncey, President of the Mechanics' Bank, said this afternoon that he bad not read the new charter carefully. He felt that there was neod of a reduction of taxation, and was in favor of anything tbat would Borve to bring It about. From what he had observod of the provisions contained in the charter amendments, ho was in favor of their passage by Ihe Legislature. Hon.

Benjamin 0. Silllman. An Eagle reporter called upon Hon. Benjamin D. Silllman this morning, and asked him concerning the proposed ohanges in the chartor of the city.

Mr. Silllman eaid ho was not prepared to spoalt definitely upon its provisions, as he had not yet examined them in detail. He said be was going to Albany this evening, and If he saw Senator Pierce ho would talk with him about it and then he might be able to eay something about it. Mr. Silllman said however, he was in favor of anything that would simplify the maohinery of municipal government, and lesson its expense, and in so tar as the amendments will have that effect they would havo his support.

The Bill of Senator Pierce Warinlr Com mended by the Solid Men of the City. Needed Rerorms Which are to be Tntrndncfid lionestv.

Efficiency and Economy to be Combined in tbe Hanage ment of Municipal Affairs How the Im. proyements Will be Brought About Opinions of Rinley Bopes, President Studwell, Daniel Cliauncey, ex Mayor Hunter and Others A Flutter Among the Politicians. The amendments to the city charter introduced in the Legislature by Senator Pierce and published In tho Eagle of yesterday, aroused a great deal of interest among business men and substantial citi. zene, and oroated a flutter among tho politicians. The proposed changes and reforms were the subject of a great deal oi diecuaslon.

Among the solid and intelligent men of Brooklyn the expressions of opinion today were largely in favor of the passage of tho amendments, and the introduction of the reformatory measures and features which they contain. Some of the politicians objeotod, but most of those who did so are interested parties, who follow politics for a livelihood, and who think they see their bread and butter in danger by Iho impending change which is' to bring long looked for reliei to tho taxpayers. A number of prominent gentlemen, on whom Eagle reporters called today, gave their views on the subject very frankly. Thoir conclusions will bo found In lha appended interviews. Ripley Rope's FavoraBlo Opinion.

Ex Alderman Ripley Rope, Presidont of the rook lyn Trust Company, when asked by an Eagle reporter this afternoon for bis opinion of the new charter, said: I should want to Btudy it more carefully than I have, before I would feel mjself at liberty to give an opinion on the proposed change In all its details. My general nnlninn hnwnvar. is favorable to tho measure. I have fbug'Yhougbt that "both'tbe ctiee of $Jtr York and Brooklyn had too many heads of departments. The responsibility is not euffleiently concentrated, and I havo felt that wo are too much governed.

The simpler the government and the fewer the officers the better wo Bhall be governed. I think this bill is a Btep in tin right direction, and I don't care from what source it emanates. The Mayor should havo tho appointing powor. I believe the people can be trustod to put in tho Mayor's office a man of honesty and Integrity at every election. Thoy are sufficiently Intelligent to elect a man who can be depended upon.

They can always bo trustod whon they are properly appealed to. The People are responsible for their own government. They have the right of seleotion, and if they fail they must acoept tho responsibility. I don't believe they will fail. Regarding the proposition toeloct the members of the Beard of Aldermen by Assembly districts and at largo, I can only say that I va la favor of it.

I have been a monitor of the Common Council when it bad twenty two members, when It had twonty flve members and when it had tbirty six members, and I think that eithor is too large. Tho city can bo governed much better by a smaller Board, and the present proposition strikes me moBt favorably. Under a judleiouB apportionment ot the Assembly districts every part of the city will secure a fair representation. Tne proposed abolition. of tho Tax Oflice, tbe Department of Arrears, tho Department of Audit and bureau for the collection of water rates and their consolidation in the Department ot i'inanoo is a very important matter, and I would have to give it more careful study bafore I could givo a definite opinion.

On the whole, I am disc OBed to regard it favoaably. In tho matter of the propoael reorganization of thB Board of Elucation I feol hardly compet3nt to givo an opinion, as I hare never boen connected with that Board. After I have given the subject careful consideration I will be better able to give my viows on that section of tbe Tho bill is a good one and I hope that it will pass. President Studwell'si Commendation. Mr.

John J. Studwell, Presidont of the National City Bank, said to tho Eagle man The bill is a good one. There are altogether too many offices at present. Everybody has an ax to grind, I think well of tho proposition to hr.vo single heads of departments. If we can get honest men at their head it will bo all right and they will require no particular check to secure an honeat administration of their places.

I think Mr. Howell is going to be a good Mayor. I voted for him although I am a Republican, and I am perfectly satisfied as far as wo have gone. In tha future tho people are to be responsible. Tho Mayor is only their mouthpiece.

It would be very judicious to elect tho Aldermen In the way proposed. Tho fewer Aldermen we have tho better. 1 indorso that Bection, especially the clause whloh abolishes the Aleormanic salary. That alon9 will savo the city $25,000 a yoar. The proposed consolidation ol the Departments of Taxes and Collection, Arrears, Audit and tho Bureau for the lleotion of Water Rates in tho Department of Finance is a very good thing.

Tho business of the oity should be managed in the same mannor that a man manages his private buai nesB, and no sensible business man would have ao many useless officials. These departments should bo con.olidated at once, and THE NUMBEB OIT EMPLOYES SHOULD BE BEDUOED as Boon as possible. There aro at present entirely too many members in tho Board ol Education. The more men we get into these as well aa other plaoes the more money thoy spend. Every man has a hobby and an expensive ono at that.

The curso of this country is that wo havo too much government, or rather mlsgovernmant. A reduction iu all tho departments wild bo beneficial, and it can undoubtedly be secured under the proposed new charter. r.x iTIrtyor Hunter's Objections. Ex Mayor Jolm W. Hunter was found this morning at tbo office of tho Dime Savings Bank.

Ho was reluctant to express an opinion on tho subject of the proposed charter, and said that he had not yet read it caref ully. Ho finally Buccumbed to tho persistent efforts of the reporter and expressed his views ob follows I can't soy that I like it, as a whole. By that I don't want to be regarded as oppoaing it or as saying that there is noroom for improvement at present. After I have oxamiued its provisions more carefully I can give a moro detailed and definite opinion. There may be some very good things in It, but take it altogether I don't exactly like the look of it.

It seems like an effort to revive tho practice of governing the city by Albany legislation, which canio to an end under my administration in 1874. GoodGoi! Hav6 not the people of this city suffered enoughfrom Albauyintorference in their affairs 1 The legislation of the past bas added $10,000,000 to tho debt of tho city. Isn't that enough Another objection that I have ia that tho bill should be submitted to (he people boforo election, eo that they could voto understandiugly for thoir ohief magistrates. I don't think we are roady just yet to erect an autocrat. 1 think that too much power is given to one or two men.

Not tbat I havo any objections to the gentlemen personally, for I think that they aro good enough men. It is the principle that 1 dislike. In my opinion, tho abolition of the ofiiceB of Tux Collector, Registrar ot Arrears aud Auditor and their consolidation in the Controller's office or department of nuance w.ll not promote Ihe efficiency of tho municipal administration. It would be placing too much power in tho bandi of tho Controller. Wo happen to have a good man there now, but supposing it was different Changes are made every two years, and if we should have an incompetent or dishonest official Bee what the result would be.

My impression is that the abolition of the Water Register's department would bo a mistake, also. Tho proposition to oloot Aldormen by Assembly districts would not be an improvement to any extent, that I can see, I admit, bowevor, that for tho past few years our Boards of Alderman have not boen remarkably successful. The section regarding tho appointment of members of the Board of Education is, in my opinion, objoc tiona That Department, abovo all others, should be kept ontitoly free from all political inffueuces. Tho liangee proposad would draw it into the vary vortex ot political exoitement. It would give the Mayor powor to control all the appointments of school toacnors, it he chose to exercise that control, for he could stipulate with Jhoso he appolntod to do as he desired in tho matter of appointments.

Whon 1 was Mayor I did all could to take tho Board out of poiuioai inuuonces, and with that objoot I appointed my opponent to a place in tho Department of Education. Take the pro posed charter all together and a oan boo very inuo iu It to commend, and oven if it was commendable the people should have a chance to be heard upon it, in the ohciieo of their representatives who are to put its pro visions into execution. Tne Viows of Hon. Wm. Ricliardsou.

An Eagle reporter had the following conversation with Hon. Rtohardson Reporter Mr. Richardson, yon are an ex Alderman, conversant with tho affairs of tho oity, and are credited with being a prominent Republican. Will you give mo yourvlenson the proposed changes in the charter, published in full in last night's Eagle 1 Mr. Richardson I am at present more oi a ranroaa man than I am of a politician.

I am not in politios at all. I havo not read the proposed amendments carefully, but I understand their general purport. That part of the amendments providing for single headed commissions I am hoartily in favor of; but I Bee an objection that will bo raised, and it seomed a souud ono to mo when proposed against tbe Democrats. It is that it will turn out, unnecoasarily, some men now in office. I am in favor of the present Presidents of the Boards of City Works, Fire and Policj and Excise being the Commissioners to tho close of the term of offlco for which they were appointed.

With this change I would favor what is proposed. The proposition to consoli date the different tax collecting departments in the Bamo office Ib eminently Bound. I do not think there is a business man that won't bo in favor of it. It ia the New York, Philadelphia and Boston plan and is working well In those cities. Reporter What 1b your opinion about the scheme for re organizing the Board of Aldormen Mr.

Rlohardaon It strikes me very favorably. I favor minority representation everywhere. With th new plan proposed, we would have, I suppose, a Board of nineteen members, elected by the city at and by assombly districts. We would be reasonably sure of getting representative men. I am heartily In favor of the proposition to mike the Alderman a non salaried position.

The salary of a thousand dollars is now mado the excuse for eleoting men to the Board, who have ulterior ends to serve. Tdey present themselves to tho voters as poor fellows, to whom a thousand dollars a year is an object. The man who cannot afford to serve in the Board of Aldermen without compensation can far leas afford to go there at one thousand dollars a year aalary. Muoh of the evils the taxpayers complain of wonll be remedied. In our Boards of Aldermen and Supervisors we should have men who cannot tax others without taxing themselves.

With the single change I Bnggestea, think the amendments would go through the Legislature by almost unanimous ooment of both parties in Brooklyn. Reporter What do you think of the changes proposed in respect to tho organization of the Board of Education. Mr, Richardson think (be present Board too From Yesterday Four O'clock Edition. MUNICIPAL. Flaliearty and Bennett's ILast Job.

Eeinovlug Jolm S. Bogart from tho General Snperlutendoncf of Seirors and Ap. pointing Honest John's Henchman, Mike pnjlypre9ident Massey's Protests and a Warm Discussion Ensues How the "Machine" is Kun on the "Kefovm" Plan. The job to oust Jolm S. Bognrt, an old, faithful and oompetont olflcial from the position of General Superintendent of Sewers, of tho Department of City Works, waa successfully executed by the Flaherty Bennett rlnK to day.

It has been kuown for some time past that Michael J. Dady, Honest John Frenob'B inspector of the New Municipal Building, was going for Bofia.rt'8 place, and that it was about tho same as promised to him Flaherty and Bonnett. Mike's most ardent Bupporter was Honest John, but bis petition to tho board was also signed by AldBrmcn Burnet, Shannon, Sterling, Frits, Aitkon, Baird, Williams and Fisher. Great pressure was brought to bear upon General Slocom while ho was President of tho Department, to vote for Mr. Dady's appointment, and also upon Mr.

Mossey since tho latter's incumbency began, but both gentlomon emphatically refused to dismiss Mr. Bogart without oauso. They regarded him as faltlilul man, and thoy did not propose to countenance jiij jjmoyal tonaketopm for ono of HoSEsjc John's Senchjien, a manager of primaries, and, as thg boys put a "rounder." There is no doubt that Flaherty and Bennett would have bounced Bogart boforo now, had not tho Swift charges beon made, but as coon as Flaherty escaped, or thought be had csoapod, from them, he determined to postpone tho not no longer. Yesterday it was rumored about tho City nail tbat ha and Bonnett would make the removal and appointment to day, and this morning, when the Board met, Dady and a number of bis friends wore hanging about tho Department awaiting the news. President Massey, when questioned as to the probable action of hiB anso ciatca, replied that ho knew nothing whatever of their intentions, 3s they rarely, if ever, conferred with him.

Ho also Bald that if thoy romoved Mr. Bogart it would be agaioBt his protest. BOC1ART DISMISSED. About half past 12 o'clock this afternoon, fts the Board were about winding up some routine business. Commissioner Bennett suddenly produced a paper, whloh he banded to Secretary Horthup, who read as follows Resolved, That Michael J.

Dady be appointed as Goneral Superintendent of Sewers to succeed John 3. Bogart, tho appointment to take effect on the first day of March. President Massey asked Bonnett if he intended to press the resolution. Bennett drawled out that he did. said Mr.

Massey firmly, "I have'a written protest to offer, and I propose to havo it entered upou tho minutes." Handing THE PROTEST to the Secretary, Mr. North upt read it as follows: Upon the question of the romoval of Mr. John S. Bo gert, I desire to submit my protest in writiug.and have that protest piicod upon tho records. Mr.

Bogert has been in the employ of the Department for 15 was at first appoiuteJ as Inapector of tho construction of tho ditob, then promoted for efficiency to tbo position of General Inspector of Sowers, and again to tho position of General Superintendent of Sewers, from which it is now proposed to remove htm. I have taken special trouble to Inqulro of former Presidents and 1 Commissioners as to his ability and as to the manner which ho has performed the; duties of the various positions which he has held, I have also sought the same 1 information from the heads of. the various bureaus of tho Department, and the prompt answer to all my in nuiries and from ali DsrsonB. is to the cfiect tiiat he lias provon himself to b5 hone3t, faithful and that rturiiiglhiB wbolo term of service no charge of any kind has beon made against him. The Bureau of which Mr.

Bogert is tho head. Is charged by law, with the duty of inspecting, cleaning and tue geuora; care oi an me aewera or wij city, aho amount of money exponded in this work and under his direction is vary large, Hay $05,000 per annum, and in 811bordluate8. Since December, 1877, thro havo.been in Bureau, fourteen nercons discharged and four nia iureau anu uuuer hid are mu uvo teen persons appointed in their places. The majority of those discharjod wore old and tiled nion, and in their puces have beon appointed new and unirioa men. Such ohauges impair the efficiency of tho Department, anil now it is proposed to still further impair it by the removal of Mr.

Bogert, and without any other roason than that some actito politician may be provided with a position as a reward for poliiioal servicos. 8o far as I am concerned, I deBire in the intoro3t of the Depart nieut whoso sworn officer I am, and in th9 interest of tho whole paoplo of tua city, to enter my protost agr.iu?t this action wnich to me seems outrageous. I believe the only way to conduct the business of thlo department is as any merchant would omductbis private busineis, and liat merchant would discharge an honest, faithful and efficient employe, whoso services were needed, and employ a new man without experience I deairo to eo on the record as in favor of retaining every employe who faithfully and houoilly performs hiB duty, without reference to any other consideration, as in this way only can tho department be successfully conducted. Since December, 1H77, there have been about fifty changes in the department, not ono of wbiob, S3 far as I understand, wib mado for any reason other than to givo men places. Most of tho man dhcliargsd wero old, faithful aud capable men, whilo in many instances the new employes aro iuolU cient.

F. S. MAS3EY. A WARM DISOOSSION. Flaherty Baid that that part of tbo protest ioI erring to the discharge of old and eapablo employes was not founded on fact.

Tho records would show that tho efficiency of the Department had not baen impaired by any removals that had been mado oa the oontrary, the Department was never in a better condition than now. Flaherty thought that Mr. Maseoy's characterization of the removals as outragoous, was very strong. I don't think tho language is any too strong," repliod Mr. Massey." I am a member of this Boird aud I propose to say right out, in terms which cannot be mistakou, what I fuel called upon to say.

I repeat at the removal of Mr. Bogart is a great injustice.1' Bennett interfered a. febble objection to having the protest spread upou tho minutes, but no one noticed him. Flnherty said, "I will not say that Mr. Bogart is incompetent, but I believe Mr.

Dody to bo ft fur mora intelligent gentleman." Bennett also praised Dody, and admitted that he had nothing to say agaiust Mr. Bopart. Mr. Massey then insisted that tho protest should go on tho minutes. "I don't consnlor thnt a protest," said Bennett with a leer.

"It sounds like a stump speech." "It is not a stump speech," replied Mr. Massey, quietly, "It is my written protest agaiust tbo action cf this Board, aud I want it on the Flahorty beau to kick against it, assarting that it was not usual to put such a protest on the miuutes. Mr. Northup corrected bun by showing that it had fro quoutly been done. Tiie resolution was then adopted the votes of Flaherty and Bennett, Mr.

Massey voting against it. Bennett cheek. lj remarked that be had been lad to un lersiaud that Mr. Massey would vote for it. Mr.

smiled and said that ho never used any words which would warrant any such assertion. He again douiuudeJ tb.it tho protest be outer el upon the minutes, rad tho objection bting witlidrr.wn, tho Secretary enlvred it. Tho salary of Gencr.d Superintendent of Supply Senors is $1,303 p3r annum. DaJy's present salary is til') a month. HOW FL.Y1ISBTY LSV DSSNETI BUN THE Mi CniKE.

Prc.sido.nt Massey is having tho same experience which Geuoral Slocum passed through during tho three months immediately preceding his resignation. Flaherty and Bennett run things to suit thoinBclves, and rarely, if over, consult Mr. Massey. There has not teen an open rupture until to dy. An Incident yesterday showed that it was soon to oorac.

Flahorty and Bennett appointed ono Heath as Inspector of Sower Connections, despite the protest of the President that there whs no necessity for the appointment. There ero already otcht of t'joso inspectors, and Sir. Msg. lions per mouth was only two hulidred and forty eight, or thirty one by each man per mouth. This work cost the city $527 per month.

Mr. Massey contended that four men were aufUcient aud ho earnestly protested against the appointment. OBITUARY. lii cwatcr Valentine, At; liis residence, in Sparkhill, Now York, this morning, at five o'clock, died Mr. Brewster Valentine, tho head of tec firm of Yalentine Dorjen, wholesale grocc rs, of No.

15 Fulton street, this city. In his death Brooklyn loses a prominent, public spirited and, moreover, one who has long had her best interests at heart. Morn in 1807, in the Village of Huot lnaton, Suffolk County, tho early yoarB of Mr. Valentine's life wore spent in the Town of Hompstoad, where he followed the occupation of tanner and currier. Between the years of 1831 and 1833, ho became proprietor of a stao lino running from Brooklyn to In the year 133G no came to Brooklyn to settle permanently, associated himself with Mr.

Thomas Carjasn and started in tho wholesale grocery business aB the firm of Carman Valentine. Inthe year 1838 Mr. George W. Bergen associated himself with Mr. Valentino, and the firm then beeamo known as Valentine lisreu.

From that time up to tho pre sent doy the business of tho firm ha3 continued unin terrupted. Mr. Valentine was an active director in many hanks and insuranco companies. Among the number were tho Montauk and Nassau Insurance Companies, the Atlantic Bunk and Ihe Brooklyn Safe Deposit Company. He was a man widely known and respected among a large circle of friends and acquaintances for his sterling, upright and honest character.

Ho was always willina to loud a helping hand to those who needed as sistance, and was of a genorous, kind aud loving na ture. The date on which tne runerai is to lane piece nai not yet been deolded. ROBERT L. CASE. Tbe Convicted Insurance JPrealdent Admitted to Ball Tho arcument on the application to admit to ball llobert L.

Case, tho conviated President of the Security Life Iusnranoe and Annuity company took place this morning before Judge Donohue, in the 8upremo Court. Judge Donohue said: My idea is, that criminals when convicted havo their just rights, and are aa muoh entitled to them as persons not convicted. Here is a man who has boen oonTictod. and sentonoed for five year and no more. To kof him in prison now, before undergoing hiB sentence, seams to mo like punishing him ior taking an appeal, whloh he had a perfeci right to do.

I havo to aBum that the Judge who granted the efty looked into the bill of exceptions, and found gome probable orror. It was said it was the fault of prisoner's counsel that the case was not argued last term, and If it had been tho General Term might hand in a decision to day, but that does not anawer the question that to koop hiin in priRon pending appeal, is, lengthening bis sentence. I think be must be admitted to bail. I remember a case In which a man spent three years In prison, awaiting docision on that appoal, and thnt period wan virtually added to his sentence. As to tho amount of bail.

I think I will be Roveraed by the decision in tho douet case, and admit him to bail in foilOt JAM US HOWELL.

Mr. Halbrook stated that Mr. Field had learned that he was mistaken in importing anything questionable to Mr. Bacon, that he was very sorry and regretted the transaction. Mr.

White, ono of the elders, said tbat be had a letter of explanation from Bev. Mr. Field, which he would like to read. It was voted by a large majority that tho letter be not read, but after aotue further discussion permission was granted. Tho following iB a copy of the letter New Youk, February 12, 1878.

Hfr. O. II. White: BEAn Broth p.r I very muoh regret that a preaching service doivn town will prevent my attending our church meeting this eveutng. Will you, if occasion offer, read this note to the meeting? In regard to Mr.

Bacon's seeking commissions on church goods, I am happy to Bay I have been this A. more correctly iuformed. Whou Mr. Mackay and myself some two years eioco conversed on the subject it was incidentally in a social meeting. Tho exact wordi of tto conversation It rould bo impossible for mo to recall, but its Impression convoyed to my mind waB as uufortunately communicated to you.

Mr. Mackay tells me he had no intention of convoying such impression. I accept his statement most glally, even while I cannot account for said tuvprosaion. Personally, so far as Mr. Bacon Is concerned, I very much regret that fn au unguarded hour I should hara mentioned the subject, ami la addition woulj (Jo, all fn my power ttj repair Jiijy Jaiinige luougiitlesBnoss may hava Vrought.

To intentionally wrong or injure any ouo would be farthest from my intentions. My friends In Lafayette avenue Church will not misunderstand me in this matter. Very sincerely youis, B. E. Field.

After the lol'er tvas read, Mr. Mackay arose and wiib a considerable show of indignation in his manner said that ho was not satisfied with the explanation of Mr. Field, who seemed to leave him (Mr. Mackay) in a corner. He utterly failed to pee how bis Woriis could havo left such an impression on Mr.

Field's mind. He said distinctly, whon speaking of Mr. Bacon's manner of making a bargain, that he wanted the percentage for the benefit of tbo church and not for himself. At this point, tho washing of any further dirty linen was dropped and after a brief discussion in reference to tho propriety of making a reduction in tho pew rents, a movement which Mr. Goodrich said the Board of Trustees strongly disapproved of, the meeting adjourned.

Mr. Bacon was warmly congratulated on tho manner in which the mean attack on him had been met and disposod of, THE NEW BOABD OF TBUSTEES now stand aa W. W. Goodrich, President; C. II.

Finance Committee. THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. At the oloso of tho meeting, the reporter of the Eaqle had an Interview with one of tho prominent members of the church, who made a statement touching tbe trouble, nd requested that his name should not be used. He said that the slander grew out of tbe action of a certain clique in tbe church, who, for some reason or other, was opposed to Mr. Bacon, who, they alleged, was not sufficiently spiritually minded to suit thoir Ideas.

Among their objections to lm, It was said, was his habit of occasionally going to tho theatre and other places of amusement, and that this economy in the matter of purchasing supplies for tho church was simply a pretense for initiating an attack. The person responsible for ihe trouble was Baid to bo a gentleman wno, a few years ago, deserted tho Baptist denomination, and allied himself to the Lafayette avonue PrcBbyteriau Church. This gentleman, who has been characterized as a "breeder of mischief," is now no longer an officer in the church, but bas considerable iniluenee with a certain faction, and it is therefore feared that tho ventilation of tho scandal, and the vindication of Mr. Bacon, laat Is only the beginning of a controversy which may seriously agitate tho congregation.

Without Btopplng to comment upon tho widespread and complicated perjury presented to view by this fact, it becomes apparent that in consequence of this false and unequal system of valuations the two cities are compelled to pay twice and three times as much ot tho State taxes aa should fairly and justly fall upon them.

This injustice is still further Increased by tho ma(n tenauco of a faulty system for taxing personal property, which though lightly enforced in the cities, meets with so little response from the rural districts of tho State that it may be said to boar upon the cities alone. years this city has struggled against this lojustioo. Our appeals have been answered in some cases by tardy and inadequate reductions from our quota of the State taxes by the State assessors, while In others they have substantially boen wholly neglected or defied. Every effort to establish a uniform system of taxation on per Bona! property has been frustrated, and even a measure to abolish the taxation of mortgages has several times been defeated in the Legislature of the State by tlie rural districts, which profit by ibis unequal system of taxation." As I am one of the State officials whose duty It ia to "Ax the amount of assessment of real and personal estate on which the State tax shall be levied in tho sovor al counties of tbo State," I can but call in question the truth and the justlco of your severe crltloistn upon the action of tho State Board of Equalization. In my opinion, the amount which this country paid of the State tax, on the assessed valuations of 1870, as apportioned among the couuties of the State in the table of equalization mado and presented by me to the Stato Board, on the Sllday r' last October, does not "call for remonstrance and complaiut from all who in any way oQlcially represent our taxpayers," or from the taxpayers themselves.

In that Stato BoarJ I represented every taxpayer iu tho Slate, and to the best of my ability acted for each of tbeiti. You greatly err when you stato ''tbt whil tho assessed valuations in tho cities of New York and Brooklyn approach closely to the aotual markot value of thoir property, those of tho other counties ore on an average but little in excess of '25 per cent, of that valuo. In consequence of this false and unequal system of valuations the two chief cities aro compelled to pay twice or three, times as much of tho State taxes as Bhould fairly aud justly fall upon them." Now, for your enlightenment and for tbo information of tho taxpayers of Kings County, I present to you tho assessed valuations id 1873, of real and personal property, and the assessed valuations in 1876, of tho same in all tho counties. This table id worthy of your consideration and special study, as you have not, most evidently, been a carotul reader of the reports of the Stato Assessors sinco 1874 0 oSSJ. a I 5 2 Counties.

The Inoreass in the assessed value of rpal estate In the City of Ndw York from 1873 to 1810, was $15,903,150, or 5.4 cent, nnd the decrease In tho value of personal estate 74 per cent. Now, does tho teblo for 1873 and 1870 stow that New York mid Kings pay two or throo times thoir Bbare of tho State taxee? Iu 1877 Kiugs County paid of Statu rnsos $827 51ft. Now ono 'hlrd of thH amount is Katrfer a small sum for a county with over 500,000 people. In 1869 Kiliss County paid Stnto tax of $1.95 por capita; In 1877 It paid a State tnx of 31.715 per c.ip'ta; In ISiiO Kingi County paid 7 5 ot tno State tiis; ill 1877 it paid 9 7 of the State tnx.

Do thesi facta look as it you had been greatly wronged and ontragod in the imposition of the St to tax for 1877? As yo paid 215 less per capita in 1877 than In I860, and only more of the whole State tax. A3 to the tax on personal property, you would havo doae vrell to have "kept sllenco most profound," an KiugB County niBkcB a very poor bhow in its assessment of the pers nal proporty of individuals when compared with "the rural districts." Deduct the assessed valuation of the stock of incorporated companies from tho asossed value of personal property in tho County of Kingj for tho year 1870, aud Ihe amount per capitals TJOLLAItS and forty two cents. Very few counties in the State "cut nndrr" Kings in assessed value of its persounl property. The following facts prove this Tho assessed valuo of personal property of individuals in Broome County in 1876, was $25; in Cayuga, $4 in Chautauqua, $49; in Columbia, in Dutchess. in Erie, in Essex, $11; in Franklin, $20 50; in Onondaga, $76; In urangc; m.

lo, in ruiar jruiuamiuj.ouj owituoii, and in Warren, with its lakes and mountains, $21.30. Mr. Mayor, it is a good thing to oxauiino facts, boforo you throw Btones nt officiuls who havo Iaborod faithfully to do a most thankless, but very duty. In 1874, tho Stale Assessors' esllroated from the best Information they could obtain, tho full value of tho real estate of tho County of Kings, at $426,396,740. Iu fixing tho amount of ou which tho State tax should be paid in this county, I deducted from tho full value of 1874 tho Bum of $15,053,690, and this was for tho shrinkage in the valuo of buildings in tho lost four years in the city, and equalized the county at 00 per oent.

of $410,735,000. Mv associates, Staio Assessors, had in thsir table of equalization submitted to the Board, equalized tho real estate of Kings County at $250,698,199. From this sum I dedncted $3,963,189. If you had boen equalized at 00 per cent, of tho lull value of 1874, as many think you should havo been, you would have paid on and not on $246,440,000 on real estate. Tha taxpayers of Kings County ha a no cause to oomplaln of an unequal sharo of State taxes.

In my opinion, tho only taxpayers that have good and BufB cient cause of oomplaint against the assessors of this oity are the stockholders in the banks. Thoy are assessed ou the par value of thoir stock. They do not escape, because tho assessor has only to go into tho banks, ask for a list of stockholders, tho number of shares, and then assess them. If all other taxable property was assessed In this oity as near its full and true value as tho stock in banks are aBEeaaed, the rate of taxation would not ho over 1)4 por cont. on the dollar valuation.

You, Mr. Mayor, aro the oxocutivo officer of tho oity. It is your duty to see that the laws are executed. You appoiot the City Assessors. Tho law points out their duty a3 to tho valuation of real and personal property for assessment in a clear and positive manner.

Thoy arj "to assess all real estate at Its full and true value, as they would appraise tho name to pay a just dobt duo from a solvent debtor, aud all personal property at its full aud true value." Will you instruct tho City Assessors to onfprce tho law and assess all property subject lo taxation, real nnd personal, at its full and truo value? And if thoy' they fail to do it, will you hand them ovor to the proper legal authorities to bo prosecuted for neglect of duty? Do this, cease complaining of counties who havo set your Assessors a good example of obedience to law, put forth your every offort and use your influence and position to cut down exorbitant salaries, to stop useless expenses, and dry up. tho sources or corruption and waste in the city, antj you will do some good as a publio servant. Youra respectfully, James A. Bltioas. 70 Columbia bxiohts, Bbooxi yn, February 12,1878, COUNTY WABDS.

raeotlnir ol the Committee on HonicH and. Orphan Asylums. The Committee on Homes and Orphan Asylums of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday afternoon to fix ou the price for board of oounty wards In private institutions; present Snpervieors Curran, Byder and Gallagher. MrB. Howard, representing the Industrial School Association of Brooklyn, E.

said that she considered twenty eight cents was barely suffl olent to maintain the oounty wards properly, but if the Committee had determined to give only twentj flvo oente, ber Institution would accept the prioe. Mr Myer Stern, Secretary of the Hebrew Benovolent and Orphan Asylnm Society, said it made no differ i onoa to them whetdor the oounty allowed twenty eight I or tv.onty flve oonta per capita, because either sum was AHilrl anti tha number of tnsuincieni 10 buuuh 1 oounty wards sent to their institution was ac I that It was no object to make any objection It ooat I them forty cents per capita a day to bring up the ohll aren in tne miuiuuuu. W. F. Johnaon, SnporlntDndont of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, that twonty eight cents was low enough for the maintenance of obildron, but his intltulion would aooopi tvfonty nye coats per capita.

"Ah what's the use of talking about such ft bill as that 1" exclaimed the ox Republican Aldorman of the Twenty.flfih Ward. "Jim Pierce must know little of Brooklyn to draw a bill of that kind. It won't pass, you can bet your bottom dollar. It's dead already." SLANDER A. Breeze Among Rev.

Theodore L. Cuyler'a, D.D., took place, last ovenlng, and, contrary to general expectation, proved a most interesting and excit ing one. It was held in tbo lecture room, which was well fiUod with the representative members of the congregation, among whom were W. W. Wickes, E.

Tho meeting waj called to order Hon. W. W. Goodrich, President of the Board of Trustees, who nomlnatoa Mr. W.

W. Wickes and Mr. E. W. Fish as presiding officers'.

On motion, Mr. II. Iu Bardwcll of ficiated as Secretary, and read tho minutes of the last annual meeting, which were read and approved. THE TBEASUBEE'S ItEPORT. The Ciraeial statement was read by Mr.

C. M. Fos ter, tho Treasurer, and oommunicated the gratifying intelligence that the debt of $1,033 on the church had been completely wiped out, ThB total disbursements, including the payment of this debt, and $1,000 to the Fort Grreene Presbytorian Churoh, amounted to $23, 850,96. Tho pastor'a Balary for thirteen inontbB amounted to $7,533.33, and the expenses for mu3io during the year to The report, on motion, was approved and placed on file. A BOMBSnELTj.

Aflor the reading of the roport Hon. W. W. Good rich arose and with much warmth mado a statomcnt which threw a sudden life Into the proceedings. Ho said that the first business in order was tho election of four truBtees to fill vacancies, but that before proceeding to the lUsine3B he desired to perform, while speaking on a question of privilege, a duty which bo considered exceedingly pleasant.

For some days tbora bad been passing round among tho members of the congregation a mean, pitiful and contemptible Blander against a member of the Board of Trustees, who had been long and honorably connected with the church. Tho tongue is a small member and infinite mischief, especially when its wagging iB not promptly stopped. This slander has been uttered behind the baok, and is therefore calculated to do the groatcst amount of mtaohtef, and to stamp it out should be tho duty of every manly heart, Applause. In this case, tho refutation of the slander is so perfeci that he hoped he would never have to go into ootirt with worse cae. It has been charged that Mr.

Bacon (he would not name his accuser), a member of tbe Board of Trustees, in purchasing supplies for tbe ohuich at various times, had been guilty of the inconceivable meannosB, ho would call it by no barabar torni, of appropriating dve, ten or fifteen per cent, of tbe bills to bimself. Tbe purchases referred to were made from Mr. Joseph Wilde. The slander was circulated for some time underhand odly, but finally came to his attention a few days ago. He told the person who mado the statoinent that ho should go like a man to Mr.

Bacon and givo an explanation. Knowing Mr. Bacon as well a3 ho does, the charge made little or no linprcs3ion on bim. It was formally charged that Mr. Bacon male a purohase, amounting to $21, from Mr.

Wilde in November, 1870. and then asked for a small reduction, which amounted to fifty four cents, HIS INTENTION BEING TO POCKET THI'', whilo representing thi tho discount was obtained frr the benoflt of the church. The inference intended to be conveyed was that in larger purchases Mr. iiacon had acted In the same contemptible manner. Tho fact, on tho contrary, is the church really got the benefit of all these reductions on the as the Treasurer's accounts show.

Mr. Bacon was iu tho habit of rnakinjj tho purchase in the first place at the lowest posalblo figure, ana then insistvugon a reduction wlin ho came to settle tho bill. It is to Mr. Bacou's credit, therefore, that his errors, if any, were on tho side ol economy. Mr.

Goodrich then exhibited a number of receipted billB, showing a reduction of all the way to $D0 oo purchases made by Mr. Bacon, the church being the gainor in every inslance, and not a cent of the money thUB saved going into Mr. Bacon's pocket. Mr. Goodrich concluded by saying that no iutther proof was required of Mr.

Bacon's honosty and integrity in tho transactions referred to, nod again characterized the accusation as base and ooutetnptiiile. Tho facts completely vindicate Mr. Bacon, whom he had great pleasure to nomiDato for retention as a member of tho Boord of Trustees. Applause. The further consideration of this subject was thon dropped, but was taken up at a further stage of the meeting.

BESOIUTIONS. At tho close of Mr. Goodrich's remarks, Bev Dr. Cuylor entered the room and requested the privilege of tho floor for a fow momonts, so that he might intotrnpt tho regular order of business by the performance of a very pleasant task. He then referred to the great services which Mr.

Robert Murray, who is at present absent in Europe, had rendored the church in one of the most critical periods of its history, and to hia con tinued devotion to Its interests, and closed by presenting tho following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted At the annual meeting of the Lafsyotto avenue Churoh and Society it was neaolvcd, That our heartfelt thanks be returned to Mr. Robert Murray, for his faithful and eminent Borvices as a member of the Church Building Committee, and for many years as a trustee end treasurer of the Lafayette avenuo Ohurob. Resolved, That this expression of our gratitude and of our fraternal regard be forwarded to Captain Murray by tho Secretary of this meeting. After tho adoption of the resolutions, Bov. Dr.Cnyler withdrew.

TBUSTEES AND WHO SHALL VOTE FOB THEM. The next business being the oloottou of four trustees to fill vacancies, tho Chairmau appointed Mesars. Knowles, Gosler, Fcrman and Borflman to act as tellers. Mr. Goodrich saidibat It was a matter of great importance to decide who were eligible as voters, inasmuch as chore seemed to be considerable difference of opinion on tho subject.

Ho proceeded to read from the law ae laid down in judicial decisions, and said that all those who voto, should either pay rent or bo subscribers to tho churoh debt. An ordinary contribution to the Sunday School was not soflloiout. Ho did not think that ladleB Bhould havo tho privilege of voting, although oa this point thero was a strong opposition. Mr. Matthews said that a certain Brooklyn judge bad informed him) that accoiding to Presbyterian usage, his wife could vote, provided Bhe "held thB purse strings," and ho could not.

Laughter. Mr. Hlgains Suppose I rant a portion of my pew to somebody else, and the person pays tho rent to me, has that person tho privilege of voting Mr. Goodrich Under certain circumtanco.T ho would, and under certain ovrcumstances ho would not be entitled to vote. He would bo able to vole had tha agreemest been entered into with the church b3foro the letting and sub lotting of the pew, but otherwise not.

The person who contracts to help the church and makes nis contract with the church, Is the person entitled to vote. Mr. White If a man help ou the cause of the Qopel in the ohurob by tho contribution of even one dollar, I think Le should he allowed to vote. Chairman I give it as my decision that all pew holders, male and female, are entitled to vote, the ladies, of courBe, being thosa who are Independent of husbands or other male relatives in the matter of pew sittings. This rule does not exoludo those who bold sub Bittlnas.

In a general way, all thoae who pay for ailttniTR mftv vntn. Mr. Goodrich I will accept your decision If you say "all those who pay the churoh for sittings." CbBirmau I am not satisfied to do that. Mr. Goodrich I must appeal from the decision of tho Chair.

Chairman I will entertain the appeal for the purpose of having this questiorf settled once and for au. It has beon coming up from year to year to disturb our proceedings. A vote on Mr. Goodrich's appeal was then taken, and by a decisive majority the Chair's declsiou was not sustained. On this question of appeal Mr.

Goodrich did not object to the decision of the Chair that all pew holders should vote. After considerable dissuasion the Chairman's decision as to who had the right to vote, as given above, was framed into the form of resolution and formally moved. To this Mr. Goodrich offered the following amendment Resolved, That those only are entitled to voto as pew occupants, who, during the post year have Deen stated attendants at church worship, and have contributed pew rents to the trustees or aie directly responsible to them for the same. There was a long discussion on the subject, and when tho question ai put tho Chairman decided that every one In tho room, who belonged to the church, both male and female, should havo tha privilege of voting.

The count of beads showed that Mr. Goodrich's amendment was carried by a large majority. This ticklish business bolng settled, in a legal it not an equitable manner as some maintained, the Chairman annonnoed that nominations woro in order for THE ELECTION OF FODB TBUSTEES to Berve in the place of Z. M. Baoon, E.

L. Kalbflelsoh and Robert Murray. for thxeo jean ntt of Avr.
