APRIL 3, 1SS4. bean greatly Increased "since the publication of Poolo's index, which noted sll the subjects which have been discussed in tbo leading periodicals for years past. Tho percentage of now volumes on tho shelves of the branch was not very largo; and everybody wanted to read the newest book out. If people would follow Emerson's advieo and not road a book till it was a year old, it would not be so difflcnlt to satisfy them and would gteatly simplify the work of.

the librarians. Tha only disadvantage to tho Eastern District people was that thoy bad BometiineB to wait half a day in order to obtain a book from below. An effort was being mado by the library to cover all spheres of thought, solenco and research, and a difficult thing it was to do. Mr. 'White spoko of Mr.

It not only showed what books were in. tho library but showed what ono ongbt to read: it served as a guide to thoso seeking knowledge and was consulted in all parts of the world. Testimony as to its merits had been re oeivod from tha Britishiaiueaum and from other similar institutions The branch ought to have 100 more members at If ast. He would like to see jts membership exceed that number, but iu a fow months that number ounht to be obtaiued if tbe present members would bring in their filonds.

Thus tha branch would be mode self supportipg, Honi John A. Taylor spoke' at considerable length on libraries in genoral and tho benefits they confer. By books men wore enabled to converse, as it were, with sages who lived centuries ago and actually to become familiar with them personally. The best safeguard against the evils which surrounded a young person was the taste for reading, and the opportunity to gratify it was a benefit to tho State at large, Hence libraries Bhould commend themselves to the support of tha people.

I congratulate you on the degree of success achieved, and hope the success will not only bo permanent, but in coming years progressively so.

I have been Informed that Brooklyn has a larger water front than any city in the United States. One who has studied tho subject says that the growth of Brooklyn in the next decade will plsco it in the forefront of all tho cities in tba world. I would like to see Brooklyn, which has been called the City of Churches, remarkable for its magnificent libraries. The Brooklyn Library throws open its treasures to every family within tho city. I remember pay.

Somo of us would like to know what occupied tbe attention of our Cabinet during the war. For a few dollars I can watch tbe secrets of diplomacy unravelled. I can 'follow with my mind's eye tho straggles of liberty. I have nothing to say against thojitera, but I do not hositato to say that we aced a new library more than a now variety theater.

That the theater should prosper and tho library go down would be a blistering and burning shame. There are mon here who gave hundreds of dollars to support a library, and for want of encouragement they threw down the lines and the thing went to pieces. I predict, however, that this institution will no self sustamlng and help the work of founding other branches hereafter in leS3 favorod portions of our city. Applause. Mr.

Perhaps it is cruel for the newspapers of Virginia to bite their thumbs at Mr. John Sherman and for Southern Senators to demand the appointment of a committee to investigate the Ohio riot, but it is only human to hit back when the opportunity arrives. Indeed, hi view of the extraordinary outbreak in the metropolis of Mr. Sherman's own State and the truculent justification, by his journalistic admirers, of popular frenzy as a magnificent means of establishing a principle and securing substantial justico, the renewal of the inquiry into the Danville riots about election time must have struck the inquisitors of the sub committee as supremely funny. Mr.

Sherman's journalistic) friends and constituents had contrived to blow the roof off Mr. Sherman's campaign indignation nnd expose it to the chilling sneers of bad men and Democrats. The introduction, therefore, of colored witnesses of the negro minstrel type before the sub committee yesterday, who convulsed the Senators with laughter and turned the inquiry into a farce, was timely and judicious. One colored Democrat, the "Billy" Rico of the baud, made a stump speech, in the course of which he gave his delighted audience to understand that colored men "was af eared to use their reality for voting for their beneficial on account of bulldozing," which no doubt was quito trae, though open to the charge of obscurity. Another told how he had labored with a brother on tho subject of voting to such a degree that he.

had been compelled to take off his coat and vest to argue with greater freedom how that unregenerato African had subsequently returned to tho debate stripped as for battle, had "jes' double up his han' "an' rubbed it up an' down my nose, an', sed he, I am thar an' I will drink you blood or you mine" how he, boiug a philosopher, wasted no more time in unprofitable discussion and didn't present it, taking it for granted that his athletic acquaintance had a feelin' toward him about votin' do ticket All this and much more of equal pith and moment the sub "committeo listened to with amusement unimpaired by serious thought of politics. The fact of the matter is, and the people of the North as well as of the South understand it beyond all possibility of being fooled by Mr. Sherman or anybody else, that the white man and the negro can get along together remarkably well where they are not interfered with by self seeking and utterly reckless politicians. They know that Mr. Mahone, previous to the election was engaged in the business of fostering animosity between the blaekh and tho whites to suit his own purposes, and that he had the whole power and patronago in the State of the Federal Administration behind him.

The only wonder is that in view of tho policy of exasperation followed by Mr. Mahone the whites kept their temper so long as they did and that more serious collisions did not occur. They did not fall into the trap set for them and the Investigating Committee has a hard task before it if it is bent on proving that they did. Is Tills Decisive? It is almost useless to review the daily and contradictory stories about Mr. Tilden's condition and his purpose in regard to the Presidential campaign, but an account of tho matter by such a man as General J.

B. Gordon, late United States Senator for Georgia, deserves more than ordinary attention. He found Mr. Tildon "very feeble" and tried to "put the conversation on so high a plane as to draw out his real convictions and wishes. Waiving the question whether this is very nattering to the object of the interview, let us examine the results of the high plane process.

After arguing that the Democratic party could not fairly ask him to sacrifice his health, perhaps his life, to another five years' service in the work of reform, Mr. Tildensaid: "No, I cannot be a candi date, and would not accept if the nomination were tendered me."

thods of this character'' may be accepted as evidence of alarm, if not desperation. For in Bpite of the steady effort to build up a larger landed class, and of the wider hostility to land reform that follows upon it, there is every reason to believe that the scheme of nationalization of the land as a practicable remedy for existing evils and the greater troubles that threaten, grows in favor continually as it is mnde plain and finds lodgment among the thoughtful men who study it. Irishmen who look forward further than the mere present good and backward beyond the immediate causes of discontent are growing more ond more of the opinion that the disease, whose manifestations seem to have been subdued of late, is too deep seated to yield to any but the most radical treatment, and that involves the ownership of the soil under such conditions as to secure to' every person born upon it a right to share in its advantages. Similar Sauce for Goose and Gander. Benighted outsiders who have heard much of the Ohio idea and have not had the advantage of intimate acquaintance with exponents thereof may be pardoned for supposing it to have some sort of relation to the American pig.

Since in every properly constructed' mind the Cinoinnatian appears as a person who wears a blue apron six days in the week and brandishes a cleaver as the average man draws breath, and who spends the seventh day drinking beer, it is not surprising that this misconception should exist. Recent events, however, tend to show that pistol, not pig, is the true Ohio idea, and since that has been established we may expect to see Western society reorganized upon a truly good basis of fulminate and lead. The pistol having been employed with satisfactory effect in improving the criminal procedure of the Ohio metropolis, it follows that its adaptation to other and more concrete relations is only a matter of time. Indeed, before the next Presidential campaign arrives, we may expect to find it included in the constitution of tho State as a substitute for the infant's feeding bottle and made the cornerstone of a new theory of the currenoy. During the brief interval for reflection accorded) to our neighbors since the riot the pistol has developed hitherto unsuspected possibilities.

Night before last it had been employed with some success to meet a want long felt. The conductor of a Vine street car was, as usual, dividing his attention between the starry sky and the bright eyed nymph in the further corner of the vehicle, when a citizen hailed him with customary want of success. The citizen ran as usual a soft smile coursed aoross the conductor's face as he calculated the run between Sirius and Capella, and again took an observation of the corner. The car jolted on and so did the citizen till suddenly the hio idea germinated. Why run after a moving car when a pistol would bring it to a standstill Why, indeed The citizen dreW his weapon, fired two shots at the conductor, stopped the car, and would, no doubt, have reaohed his destination but for the interference of two envious bouIs on whom the new phase of the idea had not impressed itself.

And yet this recourse to the pistol as a means of enforcing a citizen's desires and giving practical effect to his righteous indignation was entirely logical and praiseworthy as a deduction from the law of riot, which is the Ohio idea as expressed by the eminent gentlemen who speak through tho columns of our esteemed double barreled contemporary, the Commercial Gazette. It can hardly have escaped observation that, while the truly good department of that enterprising publication was summoning assistance from Columbus, the war department was enlightening tho barbarian world upon the beauties of a popular demonstration, the intermediary divisions of the control meanT timo Betting forth the marked advantage of a short cut to the attainment of an object by means of the seven shooter and battering ram. This stimulating formulation of the Ohio idea has not been thrown away upon the Porkopolitan populace, and it is clear that hereafter the most potent of reformatory agencies and most eloquent mouthpieoe of public sentiment will be the revolver. Of course our formidable contemporary is fullyprepared for the revolution, and will adjust itself without difficulty to the new order. The adjustment may require the publication of the paper in a bomb proof office and the equipment of its entire counting room staff in armor plating of great resisting power.

For, whereas the new order provides for the stopping of a car by shooting the conducted, it follows, as the night the day, that the true way to stop a paper is to shoot the publisher. In view of the brief hailstorm of lead that our esteemed contemporary sedms to have invited, it should lose no time in fortifying its office and protecting its employes in coats of mail. The country will not fail to pay its tribute of grateful admiration for the patriotism and magnanimity which Colonel George Bliss displayed in yielding to urgent entreaties to serve his native country at $100 per day. He tells the story of the sacrifice himself, and nobody will deny that he is a good story teller. Like a solid wall across the Presidential path of the Hon.

During the call the retired statesman asked his visitor if he had seen the cartoon in whioh Mr.

Tilden is represented as on eel in a school of Presidential fishes, and, upon receiving the answer that he had not, sent out and purchased a copy of the paper containing it. This incident suggests the idea that the old gentlemen declines to make any authoritative statement of his real intentions from an amiable indisposition to dry up one of the most prolific fountains of American humor. Berner, the boy murderer, gives the following account of his experience with the mob at Loveland, O. JtiBt as we were about to get on to the train, they crowded around me. One big follow grabbed hold of my coat collar and said "Here, we want I asked what for, and just as the train began to move out, I suddenly jerked away from him and ran into the car.

There waa a lady standing in the aisle. I gave her a above, pushed her aside and ran through tho car, then the men drew revolvers and shouted, 'Stop; shoot the train while I ran through the car. There was a man standing at the end of the car. I ran up to him, struck him, kicked him in the Bnoot and knocked him out of my way. Tbe train was going rather fast.

As soon as I knocked that fellow out or my way, I jumped off the train. I struck on a switch, fell down, rolled over, got up and ran in the same direction the train was going. We reprint this because it seems to us to be strikingly characteristic. Its tone and language irresistibly suggest the rowdy and ruffian.

Berner is a representative of a class of young desperadoes to be found in almost every oity. Imprisonment seldom extinguishes their criminal propensities. They are ho sooner released than they return to their evil ways. No severity subdues and no olemency softens them. If there be any reformatory agency capable of making good citizens out of such Btock it has never been discovereds There is no evidence that Surrogate Rollins had any positive knowledge of the extortionate charges made by his subordinates, but it will not do to plead this ignorance with a.

view to relieve him from all responsibility for the condition of affairs in his office. If he did not know what was going on it was his duty to find out. He was culpably negligent, because he made no attempt to inform himself. The pretext that he was too busy might be urged with quite as much reason by any other official nnder investigation. No grounds exist for making an exception in the Surrogate's favor.

It is admitted that he was not dishonest, but he cannot escape the charge of gross negligence. A remark of one of the militiamen engaged in the Cincinnati riot goes far to account for the. useless "Well, to tell the "truth," he said, "the boys were all rattled, and not one of them kept his head." Cincinnati is not the first oity that has had reason to criticise the behavior of "rattled militiamen. Burke was wrong. There is some chivalry left, even in politics.

Tbe Bond Street' Sower Assessment Sale of lands in Newtown for Unpaid Taxes. Special Correspondence of the Eagle. Albany, April 3. Matters pertaining to the National Guard of the State and veteran organizations hare largely engaged tho attention of the Legislature this year. Several important amendments to the Military Oode hare been Introduced and considered.

Hearings have been bad at which the proposed changes have been ally discussed by military mon and members of. non military organizations, from whom it waa proposed to take away certain privileges, lhe Sonate Committed on Military Affairs, through its chairman, Mr; an important biU this eveniug as a substituto for the biUs and amendments which have been presented to the com mttee relating to veteran organizations. Some of the provisions of the bill are Ijased'on the rules relating to the government of the Landwehr in Germany. Mr. Otis has been a student of military affairs in Germany and believes the changes which ho proposes will provo advantageous to the better government of military forces in this country.

In view of the recent riots in Cincinnati the section of the biU providing for the calling out of the veteran organisations to quell disturbances will be of special Interest It also partially settles the matter of titles, over which there hss been much disonssion and no lit. tlo bad feeling. The title of tho bill is "An Act to organize the Veteran Beservo of the National Guard of tho State of Hew York." It provides that all veteran associations and uniformed veteran battalions of tho National Guard now organized or incorporated nhder the laws of this State, or that in future may be organized or incorporated, ehril bo composed of honorably discharged veterans of the National Guard of tbe State or New York, and shall be known as the National Guard Veteran Beserve. The said battalions shall have power to make and adopt a constitution and bylaws, rules and regulations, and the adoption ot a bill of dress for uniforms, and from time to time to alter, repeal or revise its constitution and bylaws. The battalons shall bo known by the numerioal designation of the regiments of which thoy are veterans, with tha words Reserve" added.

The Governor is authorized to issue Veteran Reservo Commissions to all officers of the Veteran Reserve of the National Guard of tho State of New York upon the filing with the Adjutant General of a certificate by the presiding officer at th3 meeting nt which tho eleotion was had, of tho result of the election of the respective officers held under the' constitution and bylaws of their organizations, but no commission shall issue to any officer under this act of a higher grade or rankthan colonel. No connty, city or town shall raise or appropriate any money toward arming, eqnlping, uniforming or in any way supporting or sustaining such Veteran Reserve of the National Guard or for supplying thsm with dress rooms or armories except when said Reserve shaU be in the eorvlco ot the State. Tha Reservo ahsli bo subject to tho orders of the Governor of. the State in case of riot, Insurrection or invasion so far as to take the place of the active regimont to do military duty In their absence intheoitles or towns in which the organization of which they are veterans are located or belong. In case the reserve of any regiment is called Into active service by the Governor they shall be subject" to all the duties, requirements, benefits and penalties as enjoyed by active regiments under the Military Code.

No person shall ba ell gible to membership except ho shall be at least SO years of age and have served ono full term of enlistment in tbe National Guard of New York an bs'honorably discharged therefrom. XHS BOND STREET 8EWEB ASSESSMENT. The Bond street eewer assessment is still a bone of contention among local legislators, A bill plaoing one half the assessment on tho city at large has already passed the Senate. In the Assembly Mr. Coffey has Introduced a substitute placing one third of tho assessment on tho city and exempting the Wolcott street sewer district from further assessment.

When the matter came up in the Cities Committee Mr. Kelly stated the assessment was an unjust one, so iar as his district was concerned. Tho Bond street sewer extended through tha two wards of which bis district was composed, and the taxpayers of that district had paid every dollar of the cost of said sower. Originally it had emptied into the Gowauus Canal, but the Health authorities declared it to be a. nuisance and without any petition on the part of the people of tho district, it was decided by tho city authorities to extend the sewer bo as to have It empty Into Buttermilk Channel.

It was, therefore, of no more direct benofit to this district than to the other sections of the city and Bhould hare been paid for by general taxation. Other sewers had been buUt in particular localities and had been made a general chargo on the oity. These sewers had been built In sections whioh had benefited largely to the extent of millions by tbe arrearages acts passed from time to time by the Legislature. This district was in the habit of paying its taxes honestly and had received scarcely any benefit from tbe acts mentioned. It was not fair to thus burden a district which had always acted honestly in its dealings with tbe city.

The authorities of the city were, however, determined that no further concession would be made beyond what is made in the Senate bill, and knowing that it would be impossible to gain any more, the people were willing to meet the city half way. Mayor Low had expressed himself to Mr. Kelly as being satisfied with the bill as it passed the Senate. Mr. Coffey's amendments would only result in defeating the bill as the city authorities would ubder no circumstances accept the amendments, and it was more tban likely that Mayor Low' would appear before the Governor to defeat the bul, should It pass with the amendments proposed, Mr.

Kelly was certain that the Senate would not accept them, and at this late day in the session such action would kill the bill. He hoped, therefore, that the committeo ould take prompt action in favor of the MIL Mr. Coffey's amendments were to exempt the Wolcott street sewer dstrict and to include the warehouse district along tho Erie Basiu and Gowanus Bay. He ox plained that the Wolcott street sewer had been paid for by the people of the district, and was only used as an outlet for the other sewer the people derived no benefit from it. He said there was no reason why this district should ba included and the warehouse district excluded.

Mr. Eelly answered that he was Informed by the chief engineer of tho Oity Works Department, tho Assistant Corporation Counsel aud the Mayor that this was a separate sewer distrlot, and that to include it would invalidate the whole bill. The district had a separate sewerage system and could by no possibility derive any benefit from tbe extension. Mr. Eelly states that ho behoves tho committee will report the bill favorably.

LAND SALES IN NEWTOWN. Senator Otis' bill to regulate tho sale of lands for unpaid taxes iu tbe Town of Newtown, Queens County, and to fix the fees and expenses thereof, has passed the Senato. Tho County Treasurer, within twelve mouths after the delivery to. him in the year 1885 of the final return of tho Receiver's taxes of the town, aud at any time within a year after the delivery to him of such filial returns in every third year thereafter, shall cause a list of all unpaid tares aud assessments, with interest added, which shall bo published for eight weeks next preceding the day fixed for the sale of said lands, together with notice if such taxes are not paid the lands will bo sold at public auction. There appears to be unanimity of action on the oleomargarine question.

The New York members, representing the consumers of the dairy products, have come to the aid of the producers and voted to prohibit tho urthor manufacture of bogUB butter and cheese. The bill in relation to the matter has been ordered to a third reading in both bouses. The bill to prohibit the manufacture of cigars in ten ement honsea has been ordered to a third reading in the Assembly. Judge Henry Moore Is here to appear before tha Assombly Judiciary Committeo in rotation to a bill in. trodnced by Mr.

Taylor amending the law regarding appeals to the County Court of Kings, making it tho same as In New York County. There is opposition to the bill from certain country members, who evidently regard Eings County as a small place and not entitled to the same legal rules as apply to the larger counties across the river.

THE BROOKLYN LIBRARY. Annual Mcctiuc of members of Eastern District Branca. (be The members of the'Eastern District branch of tbe Brooklyn Library mot last evening at the library rooms, No. 36 Fourth street, In response to a caU of the secretary, Mr. A.

0. Hockmeyer, to hear the report of the year's work by Mr. George Tompkins, president of the Advisory Committee. Mr. John Fellows, in opening tho meeting, said that about two years ago the committees of the old Eastern District Library Association and a committee from tha Brooklyn Library held a meeting for tha purpose of storting a branch of tha latter institution In tbo Eastern District; It was afterward decided to start the branch, on the directors of tbe old Eastern Dlstriot Library agreeing to apply some $5,000 which they held to hiring the necessary location.

Ac advisory committee, consisting of fifteen members, was also appointed. The branch was started and now tbe chairman of the Advisory Committee waa present to report on Its work during the past $ar. Mr. G. V.

Tompkins said that be felt great pleasure in being.ablo to report the success of the undertaking so far. It opened October 26, 1882, under tbe auspices of the Brooklyn Library and tbo trustees of the old Eastern District Library Association. Thera were at the time about twenty flve subscribers of the Brooklyn Library in the Eastern District, who bad the books ordered by them at tha different drug stores. It was presumed that there were from 800 to 600 readers in the Eastern Distrlot, who would be glad to avail themselves of tbe benefit of tbo Library, and to oiler them a more convenient way by which to reach tbe Library the branch was opened. For it the people were indebted on one aide to the trustees'of the Eastern District Library, and on the other to tba Brooklyn library.

The success it had met with was gratifying, though complete satisfaction could not bo felt uotU the Institution was made self It hod now .180 members, but that number was not enough to enable it to stand alone, Tbe press had aided it but more effective work wonld be accomplished if the members and subscribers would exert themselves in getting others to subscribe. There were now 4.000 volumes on the shelves, and on the tables along list of newspapers. auo. penoaicais or au snoaea ox pontics, science ana religion. While money to any amount could ba readily obtained for the' erection of any number 'of coBtly theaters and play houses, it ought not to be difficult to raiBe a comparatively small sum to purcbasa a suitable building for the permanent use of this branch of the library.

During the year 1883 there were withdrawn from the shelves of the branch 2,152 volumes, and from tho main library by its readers 3,235 volumes total, 4,687. During the year there bad been 19,226 readers, of whom 7,040 were gentlemen and 8,183 ladies. During the first three months of the present year there hod been 8,679 readers, 699 volumes had been withdrawn from the branch and 099 volumes from the library. Mr. W.

A. White, president of the Brooklyn Library, thanked the chairman of the Advisory Committee for the able manner in which he had discharged his duties. The ubsorlbers evidently appreciated tha advantages whioh they enjoyed But the subscribers and members should get others abo to subscribe and become, members and so help lessen the pecuniary burden of tbo institution, libraries could not be made dividend paying institutions and self supporting. They were important, but could not be. carried on in accordance with the law of htiddIv and demand.

There was a good attendance. The pastor, Bov. D. Henry Millar, D. acted as moderator and Deacon N.

Suydam recorded the proceedings. Mr. J. W. Sibell, tho clerk of the Board of Trnstoes, read a report showing the bonded indebtedness of tbe church to be $10,000 and fee floating debt $1,620.07, which included tbe pastor's back salary to the amount of $959.40, together with bill of chorister, organist, organ blower, fuel, gas, etc.

A balance of 82 cents was shown to be on hand. Incorporated in the Trustees' report was the resignation of tbe pastor to take effect on the payment of back salary. The trustees claimed this debt should ba liquidated as spcodily as possible, and then urged that immediate steps be taken with that ond in view. Mr. W.

S. Noon moved to lay the report on the table. Dr. Mlllor said the motion wos not in order, as the report roast be received or rejected. Mr.

Noon then moved that tho report be accepted and the recommendation conoering the pastors salary adopted. Carried. As six trustees were to be eleoted the moderator appointed Messrs. Reeves, Godfrey and Herring ss tellers, and Mr. Noon as judge of the election.

Mr. J.L. Drummond, treasurer of tbe church, resigned in January, 1881, ond since that time Mr. D. 13.

Tread woll, president of tha Board of Trustees had acted Is that capacity. This rendered two treasurers' reports necessary. Mr. Drummond'B was first taken up showing the expenses of the year up to January together with the receipts from all sources, with a balance of $11.84, when the books, vouchers, wero handed over to Mr. TreadweU.

It came out in debate that at a special meeting of tbe church and society in May, 1883, the necessity of making extensive repairs was argued and, as no money was on hand to meet tbe expense that woaid be iucurred, it was thought beat to secure on order from the court to refund the debt to the extent of $2,200. It vos understood that the greater part of this was to be used in making repairs. When the treasurer's report was read last evening, Mr. Noon asked if any repairs had been made during tho year, and it was apparent that the object stated in the motion to the court to permit the refunding of tha debt had been overlooked, as no repairs had beeu mode. Mr.

W. J. Anderson, when an animated discussion began, cautioned the mombers to reflect calmly on the positions thoy were taking. The reports of Messrs. Drummond and TreadweU wore flnolly adopted.

The pastor then made a Btatement to tha effect that muoh bod been said publicly about the finances of the church. He aaid that two or three women bad spoken of the matter on the publio streets. Tbe trustees elected were W. H. Godfrey, J.

N. Bal sten, Wesley Reeves, P. Walker, A. L. Porry and C.

Woelfkin. Each of these gentlemen declined and their declinations wero expressed in language that admitted of no misconstruction. Inasmuch as it was impossible to bold another election at tha time, Messrs. Zlbell and TreadweU were requested to sorvo until their successors were elected, or else the church wonld hare bnt one truatee, Mr. George W.

Palmer, whoso term hos not yet expired. Tbe meeting then adjourned. HYMENEAL. Fall Lower rc. Mr.

Edward A. Fall was married last evening to Miss Annio Lowerre at tba residence of the bride's parents, No, 30 Clinton srsnce. Tba ceremony waa performed by tho pastor of tbe Centennial Baptist Church, on Clormont avenue, and was followed by a reception. Tbo happy couple immediately left for an extended tour through tho South, where they have man? relatives and friends. Among the guests war Mr.

Interesting Glove Contests and Wrestiin? Hatches A Magician on the Stage. The members of the Nereid Boat Olnb gave their usual athletio entertainment at tho Athenaum last evening. Tho place was crowded with a clasa of people wbo could not be Induced under other circumstances to assemble publicly to witness au exhibition of similar character. At the outset it should be stated that the Nereid Club baB spared no exponso to Bccnro well known professional talent and to this end expanded money liberally. To those gentlemen who had tha management of the affair great credit is due, tor there never has been an entertainment of tho kind in Brooklyn which presented such oxcellcnt features.

was so well managed or drew Buch a respectable and intelligent andlance. A string band discoursed tba music. The front of tho stage waa roped off bo 'that tho boxers could not be knocked into the orchestra. Promptly at oight o'clock a chunky man of medium stature made his appearance on tha Btaga. He hod but one arm, the left.

This was Pop Whittaker, the veteran sport, who has been tho master of ceremonies and conductor general at more sparring exhibitions than tha oldest boxer could remember. Ho was the only rival of Bill Tovee, and ho now remains tha oldest ruler of the ring in America. His appcaranco was greeted with hearty cheering. With a graceful motion of his hand ho notified tha musicians to stbp and beckoned a couple of glove fighters upon the stage. They appeared from opposite side entrances.

Tbe first to show himself waa Dempsey, the man who defeated Dacy at the Campbell House, on tbe Oouey Island road, not long ago. Ho wore a tight fitting undershirt and bluo knit drawers. Just after ha made his appearance Mike Mallory stepped into view, bringing into prominence a flesb colored shirt and red trunks. With his usual dignity painfully Chester fleldian at times Mr. Whittaker introduced the gentlemen to toe audience.

"Thataall right, Pop," said a wag in tho audience, "get out of tho way and let them set to or you might get hurt 'Tm too old for that," said Pop. uYes, wo all know you're tough," was the reply which provoked a laugh. Mallory and Dempsey then faced each other. Iemp sey forced the business, led out and Mallory countered. Some heavy body blows were given by both men, but thorough was not specially interesting eithcrfor science or effectiveness.

Both men were winded as tbey went to their comers. In tbo Bccond round Dempsey bad decidodly the best of it. He landed one blow upon Mallory's nose that made that organ reddeu up until it appeared to have been reared in a distillery. Mallory dodged and feinted successfully several times, and thus avoided many right baodors, which Dempaey sont in at him. The round was somewhat exciting and the men took their respective corners amid cueerlug.

"Time," shouted Pop Whittaker, otter about a min ute's rest, and then came tbo usual InjUDction, which has becomo stereotyped with biro. "Now, gentlemon, shake hands and wind up The two boxors finished with a good round, but most of tha timo they were clinched and were ordered to break. The round endod in a clinch and in Dempsey's favor. After an overture, Mr. Whittaker introduced Messrs.

Files aud Allen. There was somo laughing in tho audience, as the two men sparred for an opening. Each appeared to be afraid of tbo other, bnt tbe spectators were agreeably disappointed, for they wero treated to an exhibition which, if it was not one of strict science, was vigorous aud exciting. Allen got iu the first blow, lauding his left very neatly upon Files' chock then Files' went in, ond a reftilar slugging match was the There was a stampiug of feet aud loud hurrahs as the principals went to their corners. Tn tho second round Allon got in what is known as a couplo of daisies upon Files' face, touching him heavily upon the lert eyo and upon tbe nose.

Allen, however, kept cool, and managed to render a splendid upper out very ofiective, almost knocking Files off biB balance. The latter evidently became aware of the fact that Allen could outbox him, and ran in on him. The rouud thus ended in a clinch, and tbo men were ordered to break and go to their, corners. In the last round Files triad to get some good work In. He went viciously at Allen and managed to plant a couple of right banders vory neatly on Mb face.

Allon, however, was very cool. Files was mercurial, and would have done better if he conld have kept himself right down to business as his opponent did. Ho danced around too much and winded himself unnecessarily. He made an upper out at Allen with such force that when Allen dodged it his arm flew round like tho sails Of a windmill and he nearly floored himself by losing his balance. Before be could fairly recover Allen went at him and ended tho rouud decisively amid much applause.

The audienco were warmed up by this timo for the Bet to between Files aud Allon was au exciting one. When, therefore, Mr. Whittaker introduced Harry Shine and Captain Daly, every ono was on tbe tiptoe of expectation. Daly was too fat to do good work. Sbiuo.

on tbe otbor hand, was in excellent condition and kept uu wmu wen. iuuiu wtu uo sioggiug in tue contest, for both men were ecienced, and some excellent sparring was witnessed. Somo of Daly's work was very good. He managed to get in some body blows, but Shine proved himself to be a good ring tactician and avoided many attempt of Daly to count upon bim. In the last round, the third.

Shine ran Daly clean on tbe ropes and got in Borne good blows, but suddenly, as though he becamo intoxicated with success, he appeared to lose his bead, and Daly, taking advantage of tho fact, finished the encounter to his own credit. The next feature of the entertainment was a wrestling match between Messrs. Kennedy and llyan. Kennedy was the heavier of tha two and strongly built. Byan, although no match for Lim in avoirdupois, was all muscle; thore was not a feather's weight of superfluous flesh about him.

Gentlemen," said Pop Whittaker, addressing the audience, this is to bo a wrestling match collar and elbow." Then turning to the contestants he said, with a degree of gravity which would become the Chief Justice of tbo Court of Appeals How say you, geutle men, both shoulders and one hip a fall, or two hips and one shoulder 7'' Two hips and a shouldor it was, and the men went to work without further delay. After Borne cautious handling of each other Kennedy got a back hold upon llyan's left leg and literally downed himj getting his hips and shoulder squarely upon the floor. In the second round matters wore roversed and Byan got the fall. In the third and deciding effort Kennedy got the hip lock on Byan and secured a clean fall, thu9 winning tha contest. Both men showed skill and strength.

Thoy were applauded. The one armed veteran, Whittaker, after the usual musical interlude, introduced a grayhaired gentleman in a clawhammer coat as Mr. Hodgkins. Mr. Hodgkins looked like a legislator, but he was somewhat of a magician, and did somo wonderful tricks with cards and handkerchiefs, for which performauca he was gen orously applauded.

Messrs. Kelley and Murphy, a couple of middle weights, wero then brought to the notice of the audience. They wont at each other hammer and tongs from the start. Some good counters were witnessed and commended in the usual way. Murphy scan showed himself the better man of the two, and made Kelley's nose in tbe first round as red as some of the drug store illuminations.

The sparring was good on both Bides, though, and the first round ended amid a storm of vociferous applause. In the second Murphy proved himself to be a master in tbe art of dodging, and again managed to got in some terrific blows with both his right left on Kelley's 'face. At one time, by a Blip of tho foot, he nearly lost his balance, but Kelly seemed to be too dozed to toko advantage of it and Murphy recovering in wonderfully short order, started in again and rained a perfect torrent of blows upon hi3 antagonist. He clearly proved himself tbe bettor man of tbe two. In the third and last round it is only fair to say tiat it was nip and tuck between the men.

Kelly showed up to great advantage he only appeared to be just warmed up to his work and the round created a perfect tumult in the house. When it was concluded a howl of enthusiastio recognition of tho men's efforts raug through tho house and Btrenuous efforts were made to havo them appear again. Murphy, in response, appeared with bis gloves on and bowed to the audience, Kelly came on the stage after him, but without bis gloves and evidently not Inclined to oontinue the contest, "Mr. Nixey," said Pop Whittaker, pointing to a well conditioned heavy weight, aud "Mr. Costigan," referring to anothor gentleman who ahowed plenty of muscle, a amiljDg countenance, but too much beef.

These men were scientific One well known sporting man in the audience said: "Look at Costigan he's too fat. If be was only in good condition he'd whip that fellow" easily." As was he showed himself Buperlor to Nixey both in science and celerity. He kept bis lead all through the three ronnds, and tha encounter ended with him as a clean winnor. There was soma hard hitting in the last round, whioh provoked muoh enthusiasm. Messrs.

Crlssler and Williams next toed the mark. Williams is a pupil of Crlssler's, and is only a boy, but he stripped like a young Hercules. Oriesler wxs tully a head taller, than bis pupil, and had by long odda the advantage in the reach, but Williams Btuok to his work like a trump, and in fact forced tha sparring. There are two things that the hoy does not lock and they are pluck and enduranoe. He managed to.

make many sharp exchanges, and whan he went to bis corner on the first round tha house was deafened with the stamping of feet and clapping of banns. In the second round thera was hard fighting and young Williams got a orosB buttock hold upon Crissler and all but threw bun. As soon as Crissler regained himself Williams followed him up and ran him all ovor the stago. In tho last round Crissler commenced to exert himself and his long reach showed that he had tha odds upon bis pupils. The utter was plucky to the last, and with one well direoted blow knocked Crissler upon hiB knees.

ThiB elicited tremendouB cheering, aud when the pair finally ended their bout with a mutual shake, tbey retired with the heartiest plaudits that tho audience could give, A banjo duet of some merit was tbe next feature, after which Messrs. Jordan and Foley held tha mittenB up against each other. Jordan was the heavier of the two, but Foley waa in the better condition. They got their work in brisk and heavy, and the first round ended with no perceptible advantage to either. In the second round they were rated as "a couple of duffers." Xhey clinched all the time, and tbe exhibition tbey made of themselves caused the audience to laugh.

In fact, they laughed themselves when tbey went to their corners. Tho third round was about the and Pop Whittaker got bo disgusted that ho said, Break away, gentlemen, break away What do you want to love each other so much for 7" A darky, George Taylor, than put on tha glovea with Paddy Laney. They are two good middle weights, and made a spirited contest, although neither obtained any advantage as to the general result. Mr. Hodgklns'tben appeared for a second time and dld some of his wonderful tricks, inolndlng some spirit writing, that was as absurd as it was funny.

Young Bibby" and Mr, Fredericks next appeared to entertain the audience with a GnBco Bornan wrestling match. A good deal of science was displayed on both sides. BIbby, who'is a mastodon for his size, got tho firBt and third falls and was thus declared the victor. Gentlemen," said Pop Whittaker, the next bout should havo been with Mr. Sullivan not John L.

and Mick Murphy. I am sorry to say that Mr. Mur phy'hos not put In an appearance, but Mr. Costigan has kindly oonaented to set to with Mr. Sullivan is the man who "knocked out Powers," Whatever he' could have done with Mr.

Murphy he certainly did not show to any great advantage with Costigan. Sullivan was trained down fine and was in excellent condition. Costigan, as has been stated, was too fat, but in his bont with Sullivan he Bhowed even batter than ha did with Nixey. Ha "bested" Sullivan in every round. Thera was soma slugging in tha last round and tho set to was an exciting one.

It waa tho general verdict that Costigan should get himself in condition. After another banjo duet the wind up came in the shape of a set to bstween Billy Edwards and his brother Warry. This, gentlemen," Bold pop Whittaker, wiU be the terminus of the proceedings." A roar of laughter greeted this Btatement, but "Pop "waited until it subsided and continued Laugh, gentlemeu. I don't know where I got it, but I gave it to you as it camo to me." There was more laughter, "One single word more," said Pop. This set to ends tha entertainment of the evening.

We have given you the Alpha and now we give you the Omega 1" A periect roar followed this, during which Billy and bis brother faced and started in to box. It was a good scientific exhibition. Warry shows that Billy has given him lessons and that he hoB taken advantage of the many boxing trioks for which his renowned brother is so famons. The three rounds wen watched with interest to the finish and than the audience slowly dispersed. Tha Nerled Olnb la to be congratulated upon the Tery exceHent entertainment it presented to those present.

The absence of vulgarity and brutality, which too often characterizes snch affaire, was a pleasing feature. CELEBBATING THE SIXTEENTH AKHlVEllSAnY. The Young People's Association conneoted with the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian Church held their sixteenth anniversary last evening in the parlors of tbe church on South Portland avenue. The nnpleas aut weather had a perceptible effect upon the attendance, as of. the COO members barely 250 were present.

The early part of the evening, from 8 until 9 o'clock, waa passed In general conversation. Shortly titer 9 o'clock tho Bav. Dr. Theodora L. Cuyler, pastor of the church, made on address congratulating the association on tha success.

Even this bull got him into deeper trouble.

He was arrested by Napoleon's orders, taken to Savona and afterward to Fontainebleau, and wos not allowed to return to Italy till 1814. When his Imperial master's teeth were drawn by the allied forces, the Congress of Vienna restored to him tho States of the Churoh, and he revived the Jesuits and the Inquisition in the hope of strengthening the church. As the first French Revolution had proved the stumbling block of Pius the Seventh, so did the second ono, of 1848, prove to Pius tho Ninth. When abandoning the liberal policy he had started with he became autocratio, imperious and bigoted, his prime minister, Count Rossi, was assassinated, and the Supreme Pontiff had himself to escape in disguise from the Eternal City. It is clear that civil revolutions can prevail against tbe temporal powor, even if "the gates of hell shall "not prevail against" the church.

The falling temporal power was supported for a time by the bayonets of Imperial France "Jils Vairu de VEglue." But when the French troops were finally withdrawn fourteen years ago the temporal power collapsed and a United Italy, under King Viotor Emanuel, became a fifit accompli. As the Seventh Pius found solace in excommunication, the Ninth Pius soothed his wounded spirit by declaring himself infallible. As the powers of Europe are now constituted, there is the largest freedom accorded to the Popo and the church in their spiritual capacity, but there is no hope whatever of the restoration of tho temporal power. No conceivable revolution would be likely to lead to that result. The Pope is no longer a necessary factor in European politics.

The nations have their hands full, and not one of them would dream of an imperium in imperio in Italy. In this country and in England the Roman Catholic Church "pursues the even tenor of her way without disturbance from the civil government or collision with other forms of religion. Her energy is marvelous and her success in all free States is commensurate with her energy. All that is necessary to the full exercise of her spiritual and saoramental functions is hers on tho common basis of religious liberty and tho rights of 'conscience. Sho is no longer troubled, like Martha, with "much serving" and secular business, but is free, like Mary, to oultivate the good part," the spiritual office, which cannot be taken away from her." Tbe Annexation of IVcw Ijots.

It is clear enough that the more intelligent residents of New Lot3, popularly called East New York, desire to be incorporated with Brooklyn, and there are a good many reasons for believing that they would be benefited if this were done. They would certainly secure better government than they now experience and they would probably gain something by having their property looked upon by investors as having the qualities which city property possesses. At present East New York is a place with many natural advantages and as many obstreperous inhabitants as any little town in the Stoto can boast of. Whether Brooklyn, however, would gain anything by this alliance is to the least doubtful. The strongest argument in favor of the union, so far as tho city is concerned, is that it is inevitable.

If not now, it can be urged, then ten years hence the wedding must take place and the chances are that, politically speaking, the considerations which make Brooklyn hesitate at the present time will have grown stronger. The town will, if left to itself, be plundered and perhaps made bankrupt by its politicians, who are a singularly bad lot, and the evil elements jna pretty certain to Increase in importance if the strong hand of the city is not laid upon their necks. In the meantime Brooklyn would suffer by having a considerable addition made to the least manageable element of her voting population, and there would, to a moral certainty, be an addition to the debt and the tax levy out of all fair proportion to the contributions of the town to the city's revenue. The people of New Lots would want sewers, pavements, schools, fire protection and policemen, such as the city enjoys, while they would not at all be disposed to foot tho bills. In other words, they would expect the city at largo to play the part of benefactor, and nothing is more certain than that the politicians would succeed in forcing the city to do so.

Perhaps the true view of the matter is to regard New Lots as a bad boy who ought to have been taken in hand long ago, but who, however much we dislike the job, must be cared for now, because ho will grow worse with his years if left to himself, and will moke trouble for ns. Our Inland Contemporariev. Our esteemed contemporaries on Long Island have devoted much of their space to criticisms of the Eagle's advocacy of Mayor Low's bill to increase the water supply of the city, and the Jamaica Standard is accused by the Long Island Times of "toadying" to Brooklyn because it has in the main agreed with tho Eagle and has credited our authorities with good feeling and good faith in this matter. The has asked nothing for Brooklyn but what is just in itself and in way compatible with the fullest rights of our rural neighbors. Tho opponents of the bill are men who either do not understand the subject under consideration or tricksters corruptly interested in the Ramapo scheme.

It is much to the credit of the Jamaica Standard, whose editor, Mr. O'Donnell, has long been distinguished for his devotion to the welfare of the island, that it has neither been deceived nor misled on this question, but on the contrary has been able to see that what Brooklyn needs Queens County can afford to give, and that despite the talk of small politicians and bogus friends of the farmers there is no good reason why the two places should be discordant. Periodic Revival of Ancient History. It is again cabled from Dublin, as though it were an entirely novel and significant piece of intelligence, that the Parnoll branch of the Irish National League entirely disapproved of Michael Davitt and the reforms contemplated bv fiim. The fact that the Dublin Leaguers condemned his action in inviting Henry George to lecture in the city is neither important nor significant if the organization took any action at all upon the matter no other conrse was open to it.

Mr. Davitt and Mr. Pamell divided long ago upon a question of policy and their views are now irreconcilable. Tho difference of view between the followers of Mr. Davitt and the Leaguers is as great as between' the nationalists and the dynamite seotion, and that, we trust, is radical It is not news that Mr.

Davitt believes with Henry George that the only practical cure for the troubles in Ireland is nationalization of' the land, that any device yet brought forward short of that measure is but a temporary palliation and will in time be ineffective. Mr. Parnell does not venture so far either into philosophy or Ho thinks the George doctrine at all events too radical for present purposes and the Davitt propagandism premature, and founds his hopes upon, a peasant proprietary, seeking by the multiplication of landlords to mitigate the evil of landlordism. Mr. Davitt professes to be unable to see either principle or policy in this recourse.

All landlords, he says, are bad in their relation to the mass; they cannot be improved by increasing their number, and the building up of a peasant proprietary tends rather to perpetuate' the evil by strengthening tho landlord interest numerically at the expense of the tenantry. There muBt be a majority of the latter under any circumstances; that majority must constantly inorease as it has inoreased in the past the principle of the right of every man to enjoy the fruit of his labor is ignored in the establishment of a landlord class that does not include the wholo population. All this is ancient history and the fact that every incident tending to call attention to the circumstance that the two leaders are not at one. in policy is cabled to this country as a startling discovery, seems to point to ft settled policy of discrediting the ablest leader, and dearest thinkor that 'the Irish movement has produced, Mft Davitt. Such a policy Is in itoolf Bignificant, because it is neither fo tbe United suite.

Its value as an jparent. Tbe Iiocal ImproTemcni uinoigutu oy me uoTemor yeaternav. iui wjLittteiiuB wj me uentu uu Mie purl. of our people that they may with safety relax a little the stringent rnle adopted in 1878. That rule, as enacted by the Legislnt ure, proyided that no local improvements of the kind for Which, while special districts are responsible, the credit of the city is pledged should be undertaken until two thirds of the estimated cost of the work had been paid into the 5ty Treasury by the property owners to be benefited.

This exceptionally severe chock on improvement was made necessary by the condition of our affairs. The tax rate tras oppressively high, the general debt was too great to be comfortable and the amount of taxes and assessments in arrears had risen to on aggregate of something over $12,000, 000. Under these circumstances it was an imperative demand of common sense that our municipal authorities should with one hand practice retrenchment and with the other guard against any avoidable addition to the sum of the city's liabilities. Mayor Howell proved to bo an excellent man for the emergency. He used the pruning knife with what to the political exponents of generosity seemed heartless severity, and he exhibited not the slightest hesitation in antagonizing anything likely to imperil the finanoial credit of Brooklyn.

The Two thirds Stay law was one of the most important products of his administration and is still one of its most marked characteristics. It was, in short, a declaration that Brooklyn had parted company with jobbers and speculators, and was resolved above all to be businesslike, whether so called improvements came or not. The good results of the act ore manifest. The arrears problem is largely a thing of the past, and despite the expenditures which have been made for the bridge our debt, actual and contingent, is less to day than when Mayor Howell took office. If it were proposed in view of these facts to reopen the doors for a renewal of the old policy there would be on fof alarm.

But the bill before us con templates nothing of this sort. It does modi fy a system which, though admirably fitted to serve the city in the face of an emergency, was not designed to last for all time, but it does not expose us to any new danger. It is a concession to the spirit of genuine improvement without being a concession in any degree to the gentlemen who delight in loose manage ment of public affairs. The substauce of the bill is that the local authorities mag, not must, jeiSotr the bonds of the city to the extent of $250)00 per. annum for.

improvements of the kind we have described, provided the property within any given district seeking this assistance from the city is not in arrears to the extent of more than one third of its assessed value or pays into the treasury in advance of the issuance of the bonds one third of the estimated cost of the work. This, in most other cities, would be doomed an over conservative measure. It is, happily, characteristic of Brooklyn that it is looked upon by some people as leaning too much to the side of liberality. iTIr. Blairife and His Prospect.

Mr. Charles Emory Smith, of Philadelphia, the principal manager of the Blaine canvass for the Presidential nomination, affirms that the Plumed Knight is stronger than he was in 1880. "Without entering upon a detailed explanation of the situation as viewed from his standpoint, he believes the general expression throughout the country shows that Blaine is still the popular favorite." The recent demonstrations in support of his candidate Mr. Smith attributes to the "fresh, breezy and robust manhood" of the ex Secretary. Pennsylvania, he thinks, will be practically united for Blaino, and New Tork, in his judgment, will send more Half Breed delegates to Chicago than the politicians expected from the President's own State.

All this is alike complimentary to the Mulligan statesman and creditable to the fidelity of Mr. Smith. It will strike the careful observer, however, that the energetic Philadelphian is so far carried away by his personal enthusiasm and friendship as to overlook some very important facts touching the candidacy of Mr. Blaine. In point of truth the ox Secretary of State is not so strong as he wob in either 1876 or 1880.

With the exception of Massachusetts New England four years ago warmly favored his candidacy. To day no desire for his nomination is manifested in any of the Eastern States. Even Maine, long the banner Blaine State takes but a languid interest in the progress of the boom." So far as New York in concerned nothing has yet occurred to indicate that he will command a larger representation on the delegation than he did in 1880. His chances in this State ore rendered hopeless by the pronounced attitude of the Independent Republicans toward him. To the success of the Republican Electoral tioket the vote of New Tork is es3entil.

The shrewdest Republican managers want to carry the State, and they know that they cannot do i with Mr. Blaine. It is even questionable if 1 Plmaed Knight" would not be regarded with less favor than President Arthur, or the Stalwart Logan. With such a candidate as Bayard or Thurman against him, he would lose Kings County by a majority of probably not less than 40,000 votes. The voters of Brooklyn are not of the kind who worship the "breezy, robust manhood" which is typified by the scandals of the lobby, the Balo of the influence of the Congressional Speakership to railway corporations, the threat of suicide in face of impending exposure, or the manipulation of the diplomatic service to promote the fortunes of a crew of speculators and adventurers.

In Pennsylvania Mr. Blaine evidently has much strength, not only among the politicians tint with the masses of the party. But Pennsylvania is concededly a Republican State and can be carried by any candidate the party may choose to place in the field. It will therefore iiave no more influence upon the convention than the Southern commonwealths, so far as its importance as an electoral quantity is concerned. It is as removed from being contestable ground as Georgia, and for that reason cannot be made the pivot on which the choice of the delegates at Chicago is expected to turn.

In the Northwest, heretofore a stronghold of the Blaine men, the signs are not encouraging for tho Piumed Knight." In Illinois the reported Blaine Logan alliance seems a very one sided combination, the swarthy Senator having appropriated nearly all the delegates from that State to his own purposes. With all of his weaknesses admitted, how ever, it is not doubtful that Blaine is the Btrongest single man in the Republican organization. It is not improbable that if his name 3s presented in the convention he will lead all 'his competitors on the first ballot. But unless conditions change his nomination would hardily seem to be within the range of possibility. While Blaino is strong the party will show itself stronger than Blaine.

New York is known to be tho pivotal State. If the delegates from Now York fitly ropresent their constituents upon them will rest the responsibility of informing the convention that Mr. Blaine cannot hope to secure the Electoral vote of this Commonwealth. Such a warning is sure to be conveyed, and in the face of it the Knight and his followers must inevitably bo overthrown. The present outlook is favorable not to the nomination of Blaine, but to the presence of an influential Blaine element in the convention.

If the element is powerful enough to exeroise a controlling in fluenoe over the delegates the gentleman from Maine will demand and receive recognition, as ho did in tho case of the Garfield Administration. All things considered, the most adroit course for Blaine's friends to adopt would seam to involve the support of Senator Edmunds, who is, beyond doubt, the strongest candidate with the people who has yet been named on the Republican side. Next to Mr. Edmunds the candidate most favored seems to be Sec jetary Lincoln. While it may not have occurred, to the supporters of Blaine and Arthur; great many people are woa'doring why, if Teas MEETINGS OF WARD ASSOCIATIONS.

The Tenth Ward A'jneeting of the Tenth Ward Democrats was held last evening at tho rooms of the Minaola Pleasure Club, No. 93 Wyckoff street. There was a small attendance. Mr. James Tighe called tho meeting toordar.

Messrs. John Donohuo, Richard McNamara and John Pointer were proposed as members, and on motion their names were referred to tha Investigating Commiteee. Mr. William Dillon said he had about fifty names to propose, but as he did not know tbe meeting was to be held bo bad not brought the list with him. He moved that tho association adjourn for two weoks.

Mr. Donovan objected to tbe motion. He said that two weoks hence would be a church holiday. An amendment was carried, making the meetins night tha 17th inst. Tbe amended motion was then put and earned.

Tho chairman was authorized to appoint auditing, revising and investigating committees. The meeting then adjourned. The Twenty third Ward Democrats. President John P. Adams presided at the regular meeting ot tho Twenty third Ward Democratic Association, in Liberty Hall, lost evening.

John R. Hennessy recorded, The treasurer's report Bhowed the receipt of $137.26 last month, and an expenditure of $116.50. Fifty names were favorably roportod upon by the Investigating Committeo. Tho report was approved and tho secretary was directed to notify tho gentlemen that Upon presenting themselves before the association their names would ba placed upon the roll. A number of propositions for membership were referred to the Investigating Committor.

Tbe chairman was ordered to have postal cards printed, so that oach member could hereafter be notified personally of each meeting of tho association. Mr. Quintard eatd only two meetings for enrollment remained before the Summer season. It was necessary to get all Democrats in tbe ward to express their choice for President, He suggested having speakers at the next two meetings. Major Moore thought it would be wiso to know what the spoakers would say before tbey began to talk, aud to kuow what resolutions would be offered.

He moved the appointmout of a committee to seloct speakers and to supervise resolutions. Mr. Quiutard objected to the supervision of resolutions as undemocratic and impolitic, and amended that the president and vice presidont act as a committee on speakers. This was adopted. Mr.

Quintard said he noticed in the papers that tbo different associations, upon a favorable report from the Investigating Committee, placed names upon the roil without having tbe applicants present. This was a clear violation of the rules. He moved that the association delegates to the General Committee bo instructed to ascertain if it were true that the rule was violated and to have an investigation to ascertain the sou why. Tbe motion was adopted. Major Moore was requested to address'the meeting on free trade.

He declined to do so, saying it would be impolitic, as tbe leaders wbo defined tba policy of the party, after studying the wishes of tha poople and what was desirable for their best intorests, had not yot agreed upon a platform. He was certain that the party which took an extreme stand oither for protection or free trade would die. The discussion on tariff was as worm fifty years ago, when ha was a young man, as it was today, and he expected it would ba for fifty years to come. The meeting then adjourned. The Tenth Ward Republicans, A regular monthly meeting of the Tenth Ward Republican Association was hold Tuesday night at No.

243 Court street. Presidont Newton occupied the chair and Secretary Jacob Acorn recorded. Tho report of tbo Investigating Committee was road by Mr. W. PladwelL It approved tho admission of seventy five new members into tbe association.

Tho report was adopted. William Johnson, recently of the Twelfth Ward, asked to ba admitted to tha Tenth Ward Association, His name was referred to tho Investigating Committee. Mr. Josoph Curry said he was about to remove to the Tweuty second Ward and asked for a recommendation, which will be given to him at the next meeting. The meeting then adjourned.

The Twenty fifth Ward Bepnbl leans. The regular monthly meeting of the Twenty fifth Ward Republican Association was hold in Tracey's Hall, Decatur street, near Sumner avenue, on Tuesday. Wheaton A. Welsh ocoupied the chair, Isaac B. Crane recorded.

Eighteen propositions for membership were referred to tha Investigating Committee, The Committee on Permanent MeotlngPIace, through its dhairman, L. Stronse, reported that rooms had been engaged in a new briok hall to ba erected corner of Bold avenue and Jefferson street Light, heat and janitor would bo provided. The rental was $100 a year. The report was received and approved and tha oommltteo discharged with thanks. Treasurer Fisher reported tho treasury as empty, and.he had paid $50 of his own money to seoure the rooms.

He asked to be remunerated. On motion of Mr. Fancher the Finance Committee was db eoted to organize immediately to take steps to raise the $100, Mr. Huston raised a breeze by asking whether Congressman Darwin B. James had returned to tba association the $87 he improperly kept, and which should have been placed in tha treasury a long tune ago.

Thj chairman Bald ho was without knowledge oon oerning the affair. Dr. Leys said he had had a conversation with Congressman James about tha money, during whioh Mr. James Intimated he knew he bad no right to keep it, and would ba pleased to return it upon proper application. To settle the question he offered a resolution that a committee be appointed to wait on Mr.

James. The resolution wob tabled. The Investigating Committeo falling to report on ten names referred last month, tha names ware ordered on tbo roll. Mr. Huston wanted to know if the ticket adopted at the meeting of the Edmunds party on Saturday night would be the only tickot at the primary, or whether thers'would bs a dozes, with tho old time bitter sgbts 7 The chairman was unable to gratify his ourioaity, because he did not attend the meeting.

A motion was made to adjourn. Mr. Fisher hoped it would not be carried until a ticket was adopted for tho primary, because that of Saturday evening was a cut and dried affair. The question was voted for, but tha motion to adjourn was defeated. Mr.

Fisher moved to prepare the tickets in open meeting. Mr. Middlcton amended that the Chair appoint a committeo of five to prepare a ticket. Mr. Ward amended that tho committee be ten and they report in five minutes.

Mr. George L. Crane, as a substitute, moved to table the whole matter, which was adopted. After the deoision Mr, WTard called for tbe ayes and nays and made a heated speech In objeotlon to what 11a called gag law, when the Chair ruled him out of order. The speech was cut short by the adoption of a motion to adjourn.

MANNE BROTHERS. Opening of New Goods and a IVewr Store. Manne Brothers' handsome new store, 307 Fulton street, is in a blaze of glory to day. It is large, light, tho departments admirably arranged, goods all new and ot the choicest collection, and so filled with handsomely dressed ladies that were it not for the show windows one might mistake the gathering for a grand levoe. Each department presents a most attractive appearance.

Upon the left as you enter is tbo glove department, which is said to be ono of tha largest of tho kind in the city. It is certain that all the most distinguished brands in gloves are to ba found here, and what is best of all at the most moderate prices. Ribbons, laces, fichus and collarettes are in various exquisite models, and many novelties ars designod, especially for this the first grand reception in tho new store. In tha millinery parlor, much artistio taste is displayed in tha arrangement ot trimmings in hata and bonnets. Various shapes, with their pretty combinations in colors and materials, were freely oommentad upon, ladles declaring in every instance that they ware the work of artistio fingers.

There Is also a large assortment of untrimmed hats In all colors for ladles and ohildrcn, The second story it reaohed by an 'easy ascending stairway that leads to the shea parlor which is well patronized, while the front part of this floor is fitted up for the Bale of ladiea' underwear and children's costumes.

In any other case in our political history it would have settled the question. Yet nothing is more certain than that in a few days, perhaps to morrow, we shall be informed, on the authority of those who are supposed to know better than anybody else his situation and wishes, that Mr. Tilden is in vigorous health and that there is no doubt of his nomination. If this sort of thing continues much longer it will begin to be suspected that the occupation of posing as Mr. Tilden's "most intimate friend" and "trusted associate" is regarded as of more consequence by these people than his reputation for sincerity and the interests of the Democratic party in the coming canvass.

General Gordon reports Mr. Tilden as favoring Mr. Payne for the Presidency, and as dissenting from the policy' of making the tariff instead of 'the corruptions "of the Republican party" "the issue of the campaign." Since Mr. Tilden says positively that he cannot and will not be a candidate these views do not assume the very grave importance which otherwise would belong to them. The Temporal Power.

The New York Herald this morning publishes a special dispatch from Rome which, if it proves nothing else, shows that the Vatican and the Italian Court are not on good terms with each other. The report, absurd on its face, that the Pope thought of leaving Rome and taking up his residence in some British possession, is denied, but there is an interview with on Archbishop, whose "name is withheld, highly suggestive of trouble in the camp. The real explanation, however, of the complaints whioh reach us from the Papacy is that it has not reconciled itself to the loss of its temporal power, and this is a fact which it becomes American Catholics to remember when they are asked to feel indignant at somesup posed indignity put on the church by the ministers of King Humbert. It will also be of use to them to recall how often the temporal power has been a source of humiliation to Catholics, while never in recorded history an element of spiritual strength. The origin and growth of the temporal poer of the Papacy is a matter of medieval history.

It was unknown to the early bishops of Rome, who were content with the spiritual chief pastorship of their flocks and made no claim either to universal supremacy or to infalUbility. Although tho conversion of Constantino made Christianity the State religion of the Roman empire the temporal power really dates from Pepin Le JJref and his son Charlemagne. One would think that after the treatment of Popes Sixth and Seventh by Napoleon the Great, the Holy Fathers would have felt relieved of a heavy burden by losing a temporal sovereignty which had cost them bo much humiliation. When the Emperor Joseph the Second of Austria decreed that all the religious orders in his dominions should ba free irom the Popo's jurisdiction, Pius the Sixth wont himself to Vienna but failed to get the edict revoked. As Clement the Seventh was always at his wits' end ho to please the Emperor Charles the Fifth and Henry the Eighth of England at the samo time, so same Pius the Sixth, was.

placed in a terrible dilemma by the French Revolution. He sided with the allies against Bonaparte, and what was the result The latter invaded his territory and compelled him to purchase a peace by the depletion of his treasury and the loss of tho finest treasures of painting and sculpture. ThiB was when France was a republic, as it still was in 1793, when General Duphot being slain in Rome, Bonaparte again entered Italy and made tho Pope a close prisoner in the Capitol, whioh he plundered. The venerable Pontiff, who had not abused his temporal power, but had done much for Rome, was carried away by his conquerors to Valence, where ho die a few years afterward. Meanwhile, what could he do as an exiled and imprisoned temporal sovereign toward fulfilling his spiritual functions as a chief pastor, as oommitted by Christ to Peter, Feed my sheep foed my lambs." A concordat with France was signed by his successor, Pins the Seventh, and the Holy Father regretted it to his dying day, and always olaimed, with truth, he had been tho dupe of Napoleon.

The literary biographies and correspondence of that time are full of interesting accounts of the saintly and benevolent ospeot of the Sovereign Pontiff as ho appeared in Lyons and in Paris where, in 1804, he crowned Napoleon. Scarcely had he returned to Rome, when Ancona was seized by the FrenoWcl the Pope'found that The race for the' great Northamptonshire' amies in England yesterday was won by the Duke of Hamilton's 3 year old bay colt Loch Bauza. Mr. P. Lorillard's i year old bay colt Comauohe came in second, and Lord Ellesmere's 4 year old brown filly Lizzie third.

At Toronto, yesterday Horace F. Auxins, aged 31, shot and killed bin wife, aged 21, and a street car conduotor named Hackett, whom ho caught together at the house of a friend. Both of the Injured persons wera taken to the hospital, where Hackott'a injuries were pronounced fatal. Allkms was arrested. At a largely attended meeting of the Philadelphia County Medical Society yesterday, a proposed amendment to tbe constitution, permitting the admis Bion of female physicians to membership, was defeated by a vote of seventy nina yeas and forty eight nays, it requiring a two thirds yote for tha passage of the amendment.

The admlBsion of females has several times before been denied by the society. United States marshals arrived in Louisville yesterday with twenty moonshiners captured in Greene and Casey counties, where then: distilleries wore destroyed. This is tha heaviest raid made for years, and tbe authorities had a sharp battle with tha prisoners. While escorting nine of them through Casey County the marshals wera attacked from an ambuscade, and a furious fight ensued. It was early dawn, and fortunately, no serious wounds were sustained.

Six of the attacking party ware captured, with Gordon HiB, a daring moonshine leader, at their head. One of the gang was a robust, fine looking girl of 19, named Tana Baker, whose father escaped. She was armed with a rifle, and was dressed in a short skirt and wore a man's slouch hat. The gang lived among almost inaccessible fastnesses, and Baker's housa commanded ail the approaches. His daughter was the sentinel.
