Mayor Cooper is to review the St. Patrick's procession in New York. The subscription to tho 4 per cent loan yesterday was $2,197,000. Mr. Benjamin Shallcross, Receiver of Taxes for tho Twenty third Ward of Philadelphia, Is a defaulter for $25,000.

Ho was of good family, excellent reputation and unsuspected of WTong doing until rucently. Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson lectured for the Concord Lyceum on Wednesday evening last, and appeared to be in better health than usual. Ho showed no signs of the weakness of ago. Tho Eclectic Medical College, of New York, celobrated its eighteenth annual commencement at C'hickoring Hall, New York.

Among tho graduates wero two womon, Sarah E. Somerby, of New York, and Miranda O. White, of California. There is great commercial depression throughout the West Indlea, and to add to the dilfioul ties of the people an epidemic has broken out in soveral places. Tho Bmallpox Is bad at Santiago de Cuba.

A great many sugar plantations arejylng idle and money in consequence is scarce. Mrs. Holt, the wife of Henry Holt, the pub In Spain Gonoral Martinez Campos has formed a new cabinet, approved by the King. Strange to say no Nihilistic outbreaks are reported from Russia within tho past twenty four hours. legislating for Ittr.

O'BeUly. The alacrity with which the Legislature addresses itself to the performance of personal and political business has always been in marked contrast to the tardiness it displays in dealing with measures which have nothing but the public interest to commend them. A more forcible illustration of the distinction will not readily be found than that presented yesterday in the passage of both Houses, within twenty four hours, of a bill which has nothing in the world to recommend it to the politicians who rushed it through, except that it enables one of their number in Brooklyn hold two offices at the same time; to draw the salaries attached to both positions, and to neglect the duties of either or both at his option. The interest of Mr. Daniel O'Reilly required that the State of New York should pass a law for his special benefit, while in order to do so it was necessary to striko out of the charter of the second city in the State, and tho third in the Union, a clause inserted in it after mature deliberation, for the protection of the city.

The section of the charter of the City of Brooklyn which interfered with Mr. O'Reilly's personal and political arrangements reads as follows Titio 2, section 5. Every Alderman shall at tho timo of his election bo au elector of tbo ward for which he Pha'l bo chiiEen, and shall have boo a ei tizen of tho United States and a resident of tha city for at leapt three year, immediately previous thereto. iVo A Merman snail, aur in.7 the term for which lie is elected, hold ant other public office, except that of Notary Public or Commissioner of eed If any Alderman, ejected under the provisions of thi3 act, shajl bo appointed or olpctod to and accept such public office, or remove out of the ward in wuicu he Fhall have Iweu e'octcd. after his election, or during his term of office at such Alderman, his office aa such Alderman shall iimiMdiately become, vacant.

The propriety of this section nobody can question. That it is necessary in order to guard against the scandal O'Reilly desires to legalize, will not be disputed. There are public offices in Brooklyn tho duties of which might be performed by a citizen serving as an Alderman, without much trouble. This is interdicted by law. It is, of course, physically impossible for an Alderman to serve as Congressman and to perform his Aldermanic duties at the same time.

It would require a great deal of effrontery in any man to draw the salary of an Alderman in Brooklyn while filling a position whose duties require him to be in Washington and very few men would care to occupy a seat in the House of Representatives, while it might be said of him any day that he had in pocket money ho received from Brooklyn without being in a position to earn it, except by absenting himself from his duties in the Capitol. It may be said that if Mr. O'Reilly never put in an appearance in Washington nobody would be injured by it and "nobody would miss him. Mr. O'Reilly, doubtless, regards the Board of Aldermen as the proper sphere for the display of his peculiar abilities, and if ho succeeds in obtaining the pay of a Congressman he will realize from that position about all that he expected from it, except in thy, contingency that a significance and value might be attached to a single vote in a close contest between the two parties.

There is a principle involved in the case, howover, and if it could be shown that Mr. O'Reilly was indispensable in Washingtozi, while Brooklyn was vitally interested in his weekly performances in tho Aldermanic Chamber, it ought to bo adhered to. We have said it required great effrontery in any man to attempt to draw the salaries of the two positions evon if the law allowed it, but it required the effrontery of an O'Reilly to ask to have the law changed to enable him to do so. Mr. O'Reilly entered into an agreement to represent the Twelfth Ward for two years in the Board of Aldermen.

While he was in that body, he entered into what might be termed a pathetic personal canvass to be elected to a seat in Congress, and he was elected. Ordinarily his Aldermanic term would have approached its ter T.IOR SALE HOUSE $7,250 SVIU.TfiT?

Croat SncccsM.oftuc Plymouth Church Fair. When the ladies of Plymouth Churoh, with Mrs Henry Ward Beecher as manager, decided to hold a fair for tho benefit of tho Bethel Mission, it waa their intention to have it continue three days. Owing, how evor to tho largo attendance, and also that thero still remained a considerable quantity of goods that had not been disposed of, it was deemed advisable to continue the fair until last evening, at half past ten o'clock, when it waa finally closed. Mrs. Beecher had, however, taken her departure for the homo of Mrs.

Harriet Beecher Stowa, at Mandarin, Florida, before that timo, she having Btated, when the project waa first mentioned to her, that if the fair could be held before tho 7th instant she would gladly do all In hor power to rendor it a success. Her reason for making that stipulation was that she had previously arranged to leave for tho South on tha 7th, and cpuld not without sorious inconvenience make an alteration in her plans. It was on that account that Mrs. Beecher could not remain to witness tho closing Bcenes of an enterprise, the success of which was in a great measure due to her onergetio' and admirable management. She sailed for the South yesterday afternoon in the steamer Western Texas, of the Mallory lino, and will be absent, it Is expected, until about tha middle of May.

The fair has been very successful and the proceeds will go very far toward replenishing tho Bethel Library and providing for tho usual Summer excursion, those being the two specific objects for whioh it was hold. During the four days the rooms were open It is estimated that thero were about fifteen thousand admissions. Many persons visited the.fair several times, but counting each entrance as a different visitor, the number will not fall below that given above, and included in it were threo thousand who purchased season tickets. The members of Plymouth Church, the attendauts of the Bethel and also at the Mayflower Mission turned out and turned in en masse and crowded the rooms every day and evening. Then, too, among the visitors wero many ladies and gentlemen who, having gono to reside in other sections of the city, have beon obliged to Bever their connection with Plymouth Churoh, but who took advantage of the opportunity presented by the fair to manifest iheir continued interest in all that concerns the church in which they formerly worshipped.

Among tho large number who visited the fair yesterday afternoon and oveniug wore many ladies and gentlemen from ALL PARTS OF THE CITV, and the greetings oxchanged between them and Itev. Henry Ward Beechor were of tho most cordial description. So constantly was Mr. Beecher called upon to respond to the greetings of his old friends and parishioners that before nine o'clock oven his great powers of endurance were taxed to the utmost, and he was obliged to take refuge behind tha book counter in order to enjoy a few moments of uninterrupted quiet. Ho was, however, soon discovered, and then, as a last resort, he beat a hasty retreat aud loft for home.

Then the burden fell upon the shoulderB of Assistant Pastor Halli day, who devoted all his time and energy to the work, which he very cleverly lightened by replying to tho constantly repeated question, "Where is Mr. Beechor that he believed he was somewhere around. That almost invariably had the effect of starting the questioners off on a hunt over the building, and Mr. Hajliday eujoyed a brief breathing spell. In tho rooms wero many well known attendants of Plymouth Churoh.

Deacon Freeland was there, "one of the most extraordinary nion in the country, sir," for he Is perhaps the only man who can boast of having euc oessf ully defied the power of the government to remove him from office. Then there was Deacon Howard, who has seen Plymouth Church grow to the groat and influential institution it is. The two deacons kept each other company during the evening. Mr. Moses S.

Beach was bore thero and overywhoro looking after everything and bright and cheery and not the least bit worried or exhausted Mr Henry Camp came in aud received a side nod and a How lire you, old fellow," from his pastor. Mr. George Werraurath made very slow progress through the rooms, being obliged to stand and answer so many questions put to him by his lady friends. Hon. John Winslow was there in company with Henry W.

Sago. Supervisor Ormsbeo sat beliind one of tho tables, and ex Aldormau Weckes walked around making purchases and then retreated into tho New England kitchen. United States Attorney Teuney put in au appearance with his broad brimmed hat, pleasant Bmile and genial manner, and appeared to enjoy himself famously. Marshal Harlow was thore, just as grave and sedate as if in his office on Montague street, and exchanged many cordial greetings with his numerous friends. Mr.

Guthrie, the Supervisor at Large, looked in, took a hurried look round tho rooms and then loft early. Mr. Murray, the well known usher, was among the earliest arrivals and did not loavo until the fair dosed, and Mr. Edwad Kolhnoyer imitated hiB example. The crowd was so great that for several hours it was almost impossible to move around the room3 except at tho proverbial "snail's pace," and tho large gatho ring represented vory completely tho divers classes cared for by Plymouth Church in tho present orHauizatlou and also in tho missions.

It was not au exclusively fashionably dressed seal skin, silk and diamond eardrop company, noithor was it a horny handed crowd, but it was a mixture of tha two and a remarkably well behaved and orderly assemblage of men, women and children. THE STALLS looked rather muBsy and tho attendants appeared to bo thoroughly tired out which no doubt thoy wore after tho hard and continous labor they had boon performing since Tuesday. That their efforts to dispose of tho gooda on their tables had beon very successful was sufficiently evident from appearances. At every table wore great gaps, vacant Bpaces, whero the goods had been, and the articles remaining unsold had, in the hurry of business, become somewhat disordered. The floral temple was shorn of most of its beauties, the grocery store appeared to have degenerated into an untidy depot for sajaratulnd owhges, the Swiss cottage made the best show posBiblo with a few woolen goods, bottles of perfumery and a little lacquer ware, tha two Eeboccas handed out glasses of lomonade in a ratter michanioi and deoidedly vrfney manner, and overythingnd everybody gave evidenoe of tho fact that the end even of a Plymouth Church fair could not be postponed very much longer.

At eight o'clook a fresh impetUB was given to the fair by Mr. S. V. Hoyt, the gentleman who once a year performs tho ceremony of knocking down the pews in Plymouth Church. He mounted a chair in front of the Swiss Cottage and commenced to auction off tho unsold goods.

Tho first article offered was a butter dish. 'Howmuch a said Mr. Hoyt, "am I offered for this 7" Being the dish and not the butter it waa Intended to hold that ho waa required to sell, of courso thero was a hearty laugh, and then the bidding Btarted at twenty five cents, run up to seventy five and the dish waa finally handed to "this handsome gentleman" for tho sum of one dollar. Japanese goods, perfumery, afghans, paper racks, toilet sets, infanta' caps, dolls and othor articles wero then rapidly knocked down for Bums varying from twen ty flvo cents to two dollars. Then Mr.

Hoyt picked up his chair, carried it to the next table and disposed of another miscellaneous assortment of articles and in that manner most of tha goods that had remained unsold were disposed of, though of course at what merchants call a "ruinous sacrifice." Downstair Mr. Henry Bigger, assisted by Mr. Thoa. Hudson, was engaged in auctioning off the unsold stock of the grocery storo. Thero great wedges of cheese, tho remains of tubs of butter, salaratua and oranges constituted the principal articles to bo disposed of and thore wa9 great anxiety manifested to give three cents in exchange for a large oorae oi eaiaravus, ami un amply of that article was apparently unlimited.

Ab Boon as the auctioneers left, stall decorators and oarponters commenced to demolish the structures upon mhiM, or, miif labor had been bestowed, and where such excellent taste had beon displayed. By ten o'clock mOBt of the stalls had tne inoiau lypee nan boon divested of its covering of skins, and nothing but the poles upon which thoy had been Btretchod were left to remind the visitors that it was there the Fortune teller had made her abode. In tho lower room, however, tho contest for the model THE ELEVATED BATLUOAD still remained to bo decided. Tho friends of Harry Beechor and John Wheolor were anxiously watching tbo blackboard, and paying for votes for their favorite. Mr.

W. J. Studwell, although hoarse and tired, continually reminded them that "timo was fleeting." At first there was a dispute respecting the time. Mr. Studwell's watch and the clock in the room did not agree, the latter being five minutes Blower than the former, it was, however, agreed, after a littla wrangling, that they would stand by tho Plymouth olock.

As tho hands pointed to twenty five minutes past ten Mr. Al. Wheelor left the room, and returned in a oouple of minutes, when he purchased a hundred five cent chances for John Wheeler; others among the spoctarora also purchased chances, and he was put ahead of Harry Beecher. Then tho Plymouth Church people, headed by Dave McConnell, bulled tho Beocher stock, and a dispute arose in consequence of tho marker having inadvertently given John Wheeler one hundred more than he was entitled to. Half a Bcore of excited men Jumped up to have the mistake rectified, tho crowd surged forward, and for a few seconds there was a squally appearance in the sky Detective Zundt, who had been on duty since the opening of the fair, made his way to tho front, olosely foUowed by Detective Looney, and thoir cool, collected manner of dealing with the crowd instantly had its effect and something Uko order waa restored.

It was then discovered that while the wrangUng had been going ou the timo for the closing of the polls, half past ten o'clook, had expired, and little Harry Beecher was the winner of the railroad, The figures were a3 lonowB Vr Ttooninr 1,200 1.149 109 17 17 16 II 11 John Wheeler Walton Dennis Bertie Til any Frank Price Harry Price H.

FUMEBAIi OF WILLIAM TUOHPSOiT. The funeral of William Thompson, one of tho pioneer hotel keepers of Coney Island, took place yesterday from his late residence on tho Island. Mr. Thompson died of pneumonia on Tuesday last. For years he had maintained a hoBtelry which was one of tho chief resorts of the visitors to tho seaside, and lived to witness the transformation of the once barren island to the greatest of watering places on the American Conti oent.

Tho old Wyckoff Hotel, or Thompson Bennett's, as It ia now known, is ono of the old landmarks of the beach. Despite the wonderful changes at the Island, Thompson held his own, and more than that, his establishment continuing in favor with former patrons and seouring new ones by its excellent management and bonncif ol resources. Mr. Thompson waa a most genial and kindly host, and enjoyed a widespread personal popularity. His death, therefore, caused deep regret, and the throng which assembled at the house ot mourning attested the affection and respect In which ha waa held.

From Brooklyn and New York and the coun try towns the people flocked down to the Island to pay the last tribute of respect to their departed friend. Among those present wero William Vanderveer and sons, Thomas E. Cable, Edward Birmingham, 1. M. Eastman, District Attorney CatUn, William Engeman, John I Snedeoor.

Frothingham Protestantism in France Dr. Fulton and tho Ministers' Conference Fruits of the Divorce Laws Prayer and its PhilosophyNotes. The Cliristian Intelligencer condemns Congress tor sitting on Sunday in these words Congress by holding sessions on the Lord's day has most offensively disregarded the convictions and wounded the hearts of a largo portion of the best citizens of the United States. It has added insult to injury, for when a member from Brooklyn, eminently worthy of respect, rebuked the impious deed, the House of Itepresontatives laughed at him. The profanation of the Sabbath was wholly unnecessary.

The time of tho session has been wasted in endeavors to capture tho Presidency at tha noxt election. CONOEBNINO MB. FBOTHINOHAM. This paper also condemns Mr. Frothlnghsm, his utterance in a recent sermon meeting with its disapproval.

It thinks It time for him to go abroad because ho gave utterance to the remark that there will be noble men andj sweet women in the world when Protestantism Is forgotten that BomaniBm is a thing of the past, and Christianity is known only as an outworn suporstltion. The Intelligencer wishes it waa true that Romanism is a thing of the past," but it will not indorse the other viows of the learnod liberal. PUBLIC PEAYEBS. Tho Baptist Weekly editorially considers the shortcomings of many ministers as public prayers. The leading fanlts of such prayers are absence of variety and fro9huess, a lack of appropriateness in supplication and laok of sympathy.

It says on this subject When praying for others it 13 a sad Hpecies of attempted coercion to present petitions which it ia well known do not express their deslroB. Very probably tho things asked for may be what they ought to desire, but it is a mockery of prayer to present as a general supplication that which not more than one in a hundred craves. In such cases there needs much discretion that the periplo may be enlightened as to their shortcomings and led to feel the importance of higher spiritual blessings. There is something repulsive to tho ideas of those unaccustomed to printed prayers to anything like studied supplication but whon thought is given to the solemnity and mnmentousuess of prayer, and the numbers for whom it is to be offered, it is certainly desirable that the exorcise should not be engaged in without premeditation. A mere memoriter prayer must be cold and lifeless, but there is a possibility of such consideration of the topics for prayer that there shall bo appropriateness.

THE MONEY OF THE BOAED OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. Tha Evangelist in answer to the many questions asked aa to the way in which money raised for benevolent purposes is expended, printe tha details of the distribution of the funds. All its varied interests in different parts of the world are shown in this record Tho cost of tho administration is four oud a quarter per cent. The expenditures last year were $468,147.93. Of this sum 20 por cent, was sont to India 16J per cent, to China i'i por conk, to Slam 12 per cent, to Syria 5 per cent, to Japan 9 por cent, to Persia 3 por cent, to Africa 11 por cont.

to South America 7 per cent, to Mexico 2 por cent, to missions among the American Indians 3 per cent, to the Chinosa in California per cent, to missions in Papal Europe; printing ana distribution for home 1 per cent. The Evangelist thinks that it will be admitted after reading these figures that thore aro few enterprises of Christian benovolence in the world which cost so little and accomplish bo much. PROTESTANTISM IN FRANCE. The Rev. Dr.

Mallaliew in the of this week, diBcusse3 French Protestantism and calls attention to its growth, which has bean constant for tho past thirty years. He says thoro are more Protestants in France to day than at any time in two hundred years. Ho points out the two agencies that have been at work to bring about this result. Ono moans employed in Paris, Lyons and other large cities is public meetings, whero the gospel hymns are sung, the Bible read and brief ad drossosniade on the themos of salvation. There are thirty or more halls used for these meetings every Sabbath and people crowd them regularly.

Tha writer says: Everywhere human needs aro the same and everywhere the gospel will Bupply those needs. What ia wanted Is some method by which tho gospel can bo brought into contact with these hungry hoarts. These Frouch oyan 'gelists seem to have solved tho problem, and yet it is nothing moroor Iobb thau tho old pioneer Methodist way of taking the gospel to the' people. They will not coma for it. It uiUBt bo takon to them.

A hundred years of Methodism haB proved that when It is fully offered they will accept it, and will be saved. Anothor way in which Protestantism is dovolopcd is in its utilization of the press. More than a million and a half copies of tho Bible, or parts of tho Bible, wero distributed at tho recent exposition. Books are circulated and thero is a daily paper called tho itcnrm. er, an antl clerical andjlepubllcan journal to be published in Paris from tho first of April.

Tho secular press is aiding the cause aud there is a bright prospect before the Protestant cause lu that beautiful land. PEEE HYAOINTHE ON FRENCH PROTESTANTISM. The Churchman publishes the loading points of Pore Hyaciuthe's recent sermon Paris on tho occasion of the reopening of the his church there. In this sermon ho declared that there was a world of infidelity in France, but that at heart she was Catholic and would remain so. Sho would never become Protestant.

The object for which he was working was to roatoro Franco to true Cathpllclsm. DR. FULTON AND THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. Tha Evangelist auras up the facta in regard to tho action of tho Ministers' Conference in Now York with regard to Dr. Fulton's oaso, and its conclusion is that the amendment expelling Dr.

Fulton was an incomplete action needing to make Jt cgrop'ete, to liavo boon Dy ormal'voteincorporaloct in the amendment moved by Dr. Thomas. And then that Uia motion, as amended by Mr. Moore, needed to be incorporated in Dr. Road re port, and then that Dr.

Road's report needed to ha adopted as thus amended. It further adds We do not see how else tho report oouia Do regaraen Ra a ilnniimpTi which the Oonferenco had mado its own by any definitive action. This was not merely a matter of parliamentary routine, but of the rights of all par ties concerned, it is as mucn mo ngui. Ul UBiD body to vote on the question whether a thing as amended shall be adopted, as to vote on the amendment itself. It ia by no means uncomman for a decision to be modified or reversed, or more emphatically affirmed, when the question comes ou the adoption of an original report or resolution as amended, Wo havo thus frankly stated what we believed to be tbo present status of Dr.

Read's report. Thero can be no doubt that tbe Conference owed it to its own solf respect to take action against the discourtesy of Dr. Fulton. But it is very important that a body composed of tho ministers of two great cities aud their vicinities, aud governed by the rules of order common to de'iberatlvo assemblies, should reach ia mnsl Mrlous of all uossible conclusions, with respect to an offending member, in a way that accorded with tho rules by which it declares itself to bo governed. FRUXTS OF THE MVOBOE LAWS.

The Catholic Review points out tho evils resulting in tha Western States and Territories from the loose views entertained of marriage. Tho loose divorce laws there have been aa disgraceful to the legislators and Courts as they have proved pernicious to morals and degrading to society. The Review ia pleased to note mat men ana women are now realizing tho danger Which threatens tho public welfare from this departure from tho teach, ings and doctrines of the Church, and says The opinion that the marriage tio ceases to bo binding on the one only when its obligations have been violated by tho other, and that in any other cam soparatiou or divorce is treason against the family, against society, againBtfhe State and against God is becoming general among tho thoughtful and observing minds of tho country. But until publlo opinion can influence legis lation so as to provoui mo passage Ul oaojr no tho evil will continue to work. It then quotes in evidence of Its assertions from an Arizona paper tho statement that a late Legislature thoro passed one bill divorcing fifteen couples, and that $1,000 in "compensation" was paid to legislators for ono of the decrees.

A number of the divorcees wero in utter ignorance of what waa transpiring, and a large portion of thorn wore non residents of the territory. OPPOSED TO LOTTERIES. Tho Christian Union is opposod to the proposed plan of helping.ArchbiBhop Purcoll out of his financial difficulties by the lottery plan. It says Among the schemes that are projected for the Archbishop's relief is a gigantic lottery, which, if carried out, will further blacken what is already a very discreditable business. WhilO the Roman Catholic Church is proposing to increase its revenues by such means the Protestants, not only in this country, as reported last week, but in England, as appears in tbo religious news columns of this issue, are denouncing "lotteries and kindred gamos of chance," especially in connection with church fairs.

To become convinced of their demoralizing tendency ono does not need to do more than recall the scandalous transactions of the last century, when In London, as late as 1795, thore were 1,000 lottery agonU and oterkfl and 7,500 "Morocco" men, to say nothing of tho bludgeon men, whom the lottery associations hired on drawing days to hustle the orowd and rob the people of their tickets or winnings a Btato of things that oompeUod tho T71I1. in 1RM fc.T abolish the BVBtem. OYOn at the oost of $1,000,000 annual revenues which it had derived from it. in me bkiw uj States of the Union, a law already exists prohibiting teU terias, which, it is hoped in the interest of pub morals, the Legislature will not repeal or modify in behalf of Archbishop Purcell or any other distressed bankrupt. PRAYER AND ITS PHILOSOPHY.

Rev. Dr. Hepworth believes in the efficacy of prayer, 'hough he does not understand tho philosophy of it He defines hiB yiewa as follows We judge of many laws simply by the result of their actions. No man knows what the law of gravitation iB. We simply know that it 1b a law and wo act upon it.

I judge of prayer mainly by its power in results, and yet I would not havo you think it is bounded by our senses. If I have a longing for prayer then it is an argument that there is a listener. It is legitimate for me to say that the desire, tha instinct, the impulse of prayer was placed within me by God for a legitimate use, and that my aspirations are natural and designed for the enlargement of my spiritual bolng: When I look upon tho sacred records which have been handed down to us, I sco all over the Old Testament descriptions of what prayer 1b and what it has done. Notably ia this tho case in the recital of tho wanderings of Moses and the threo millions of wanderers. If I turn to the life of Christ I find the same thing.

Tub history of tho New Testament is the history of prayer. From tho dayB of tho public ministry of Christ to tho hour He Baw the shadow of tho darkness of GethEemane, prayer was His sustaining power. NOTES. The annual offerings for missions taken recently in Grace Church in this city, amounted to $12,764. The Intelligencer notes the fact that Dr.

Stonrs and Dr. E. F. Rogers, of the South Reformed Church, of New York, exchanged pulpits recently, and quotes tho Evangelist as saying that Dr. Storra belongs in tho Reformed Church in Fifth avenue, at Forty eighth street, and then says "We can say that there ia no man living who would be more heartily welcomed by tho Reformed Church than Dr.

Storrs." The Church Union, to inculcate the religion of "peace and eood will on earth," offers to every new subscriber Beven ehooter revolver. It does not think the proposition to put Into the hands of readers a weapon of aehT SetenBB Inconsistent with the Bpinc oi its columns.

Desultory Testimony About Oil Works and Navigation The Depreciation of Property on the New York Side Above the Bridge.

The sessions of the sub committee of the Committee on Commerce and Navigation yesterday wera rather brief both morning and afternoon. The only new testimony drawn out by ''opponents of the Bridge was In reference to the depreciation of property claimed to be caused by the Bridge on the water front above the structure. AFTEB BEOESS. The committee reassembled at half past two, when MJota Stephenson, the street car manufacturer wj nailed to the witness chair and bwoto. He testified, in SS to lS Knowlee' questions, that ho resided in New York and was engaged In.

the manufacture of street cars, in which business ho had been engaged since ifttl the Wfltaat of a two horse car when loaded with wenty two persons was about 4,700 pounds its lencth over all is twenty flve feet; the weight of a cSf on an derated road is about eleven tons, and seats forty eight persons; a car to Beat 100 would require to bTtwice' as long as the elevated railway cars, tha arrangement for Beating wa. in accordance with the present method: it would have to bo an eight wheeled car, as no four wheeled car could carrv 100 oersons: the compartment system of seat ug would shorten the length; the weight of a oar of that Wud would be not muoh short of twenty tons; it Is a heavier structure than the ordinary car; ou a distance of 0,000 feet the capacity would bo about four cars; I cannot conceive of any mechanism that would move eighty carfl by an endless chain; I have no practical knowledge of cars working in that way. The witness was next questioned concerning the headway upon which cars aro run on the treet railroads. He said he believed that even with the Bridge completed the ferries would still be the most popular method of transit, especially for teams the ferries gave the horses a chance to rest; he thought the distributing facilities at tho termini of the Bridge would not be so great as at the ferries. Mr.

Cullon oxamined the witness, and response to his question ho said that the terminal facilities of the BridVo in Now York would 1)0 greater thau at Fulton Ferry he was not familiar with tho Brooklyn lines, aa to whether tho majority of them passed the Bridge terminus in that city horse cars on some lines sometimes started as often as Bis. a minute. Mr. Stephenson was afked concerning the cars on the Coney Island railroads, but ha said he had not been to Coney Island in forty 'desultory discission ensued upon the possibilities of speed in loading and unloading cars. CAPTAIN EDWARD WALSH, Police Captain at the City Hall Preciuct, was next What would bo the conBequeuco if the business done by Fulton Ferry was done at Chatham street 1 A.

It would bo a blockade of all tho cars widening the street would not help it very much at that point there are not ten socondBlbotwe.u cars now there is not a groat deal of other traffic business there the trucks and vehicles go by way of Now Chambers street. Mr Murphy explained that the Bridge cars would unload at about the hue of William street the witness thought vehie'es on the Bridge would create an obstruction the travel would be obliged to crosB the tracks on theeast side of the street the up tracks foot passengers would not create a blockade, BICHABD 0. VEIT, an employe of tho Standard Oil Company, was the next witness. The works of the company are located at Hunter's Point. Has the Bridge affected the workiug of your works? A.

It has in regard to getting largo vessels to come to the works several ship owners have requested that they Bhould not bo sont to the Hunter's Point yards because of tho extra expense in lowering masts it has had the offeet to send the larger vesselB to the works of tha company at Weohawken thg business at tho latter point had increased somewhat because of that tho company would prefer to do the business at tbo Hunter's Point yard larger ship are coiniug into the trade every year tho company had larger vessols last year than eveV before the witness then gave the tonnage of eonio of the larger vessels which visited the works of the company last year they ranged from 1,300 to 1,900 tons. To Mr. Murphy Most of tljo oil received hero is landed in Now Jersey the largost vessels ore sent to Wee hawkeu as largo a sailing vossol as there is can be landed at Weehawken. Q. What reason is there, then, for vossoIb going to othor A.

Tho facilities for loading oil aro mostly above tho Bridge I doubt if they could be increased at Weehawken; about six large vessels can bo loaded thoro at oiico we Bometimes have sixteen largo ones on hand. To Mr. Arnoux Wo can accommodate ten vessels at Hunter's Point the oil landed in New Jersoy iB lightered to tho Hunter's Point Works. To Mr. Culleu I have no knowledge as to tho reason why tho workB in New Jersey were purchased; I do not know whether it was because tho New York authorities threatened indictment because of the smells from the refinery.

To Mr. Knowles The largo vessols now use two tugs in going up tho river; I do not know whether that was tho caso before tho Bridge obstruction I call to mind three largo vesselB that wanted tho extra tug in going uuder the Bridge; sometimes the ship bears the expense, aud sometimes the company. To Mr. Cullon As a matter of fact three quarters of the vessels loaded at HunterV Point wero less than 700 tons burden, and nearly two thirds of those sent to Woo hawkon. About 21 out of 77 sent to Woohawkou wero loss than 800 tons, 49 vessels in both places out of 312 were over 1,000 tons.

MKJHAEIi COLEMAN was tho next witness called and testified that ho was a Deputy Tax Commissioner and City Appraiser under the City Government. In his estimation tho Bridge had affected property above tho Bridge it was formerly worth about in his opinion it had been depreciate gp per lha Bridge was he thought the most principal reason for that depreciation in the Seventh and Fourth wards in manufacturing and warehousing property, the depreciation had been from 20 to 40 per cent. tho decrease was greater than the general depreciation of property the Bridge was the principal reason for the depreciation above the Bridge instances wore given me of sale for lower prices of such property there has been depreciation in other property along the water front, but not to such an extent the gonoral depreciation throughout the city haB been from 30 to 35 per cent. The knowledge is gained from complaints made from tho property owners. A general reduction was made from 1872, above the bridge to about Twenty third street.

It is a greater than that made upon property over the city. I have been oalled upon to make valuations of property outside of my official duties. I have found that property on the North Kivor increased in proportion as much as that from Catharine to Co rlears street, has deoreased. The Bridge property has a small nominal assessment of $250,000. We have taken off our books because of the Bridge, about $2,000,000.

To Mr. Cullon Sinco 1873 storehouse property has been very much depreciated in all parts of the city, but not as much below the Bridge as above the Bridge on the North Biver tha tendency of property was to appre ciats before the Bridge was begun there is some property on WeBt and Washington streets that would not sell above our valuation. To Mr. Grady On the property from Catharine street to'about Twenty third street tha complaints of depredation have, in soino casoB, beon based upon the general doproclation of real estate; in my estimation there would be a difference of about $2,000,000 in the valuation because of tho Bridge loss than there would be if the Bridge was not there, To Mr. Cullen Property in the Fourth Ward has been depreciated from other causes for years along the line of Chatham street property ha3 beon increased by the prospect of tho Bridge.

The committee thon adjourned until this morning, at ten o'clock. It is expocted that the Bridge opponents will complete their side of the cose to day. MILK DEALERS. meeting' of the Kings County Ex clinng Men Who Want to be Watched by Inspectors, and Who Arc Willing to Pay for this High Privilege. A regular monthly meeting of the Kings County Milk Exohango was hold yesterday afternoon in tho rooms of tho organization, in Everett Hall, on Ful ton street.

There wore twenty members present, Mr. John D. Covert occupying tho chair. The Secretary, Mr. B.

Klllmer, being in Albany favoring a reduction in milk freight, his place was occupied by Mr, E. B. Domingo. Tho minutes of tho last regular meeting were road and approved, as wore also those of the epeoial meeting held on February 20. The Chairman stated that he had just reoelved the following dispatch from Mr.

Committee say printing or argument indispensable. Presented resolutions to Governor, who said law must bo enforced until the people receive pure milk. Tim Ttiwd nf Health Committee, on being called upon to report, reccommended the printing of the resolutions passed February 20, in which tho exchange oxpressed itself as being in favor of suppressing swill milk. Each member of the exchange should have at least one hun dred printed copies of the resolutions.

Tho report was accepted. Messrs. E. Lillybridge and 8. C.

WUletts wero pro posed for membership. Mr. Lillybridge received one black ball and nine favorable votes, while Mr. WHIotts was unanimously elected. Messrs.

William H. H. PlncKney, jonu x. mcKnoy and John Purdy sent in their resignations. Mr.

William Plnckney was tho only one of the three who had paid hfs dues, end accordingly his resignation was accepted, while tho resignations of tha other two gentlemen, who had notpaid up, were not accepted. The dues of members were now received, and tho Secretary reported that Mr. John T. Sullivan had told him if the Kings County Milk Exeliango wanted any money from him (Sullivan), it would have to get it. THE FOLLOWING AOT, drawn up by the Committee on Legislation, for presentation to the Legislature, in case it met with the approval of tho members of the exchange, was read An Act to more thoroughly regulate the sale of milk in tho City of Brooklyn, nd to derive a revenue for theuso of tho Board of Health in regulating said sale as hereinafter provided.

The People of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Within thirty days after tho paerage of this act, all persons now selling milk within tho City of Brooklyn, or who shall hereafter engage in the business of soiling milk, shall be required to procure a license for the above Bald purpose from tho Board of Health, and shall pay to said Board for such license tho sum of twenty five dollars, and ten dollars for each renewal. Soo. 2. Each license so Issued shall be good for one year from the date of iBsue, uuloss the same be revoked for violation of the Sanitary Code of the City of Brooklyn.

Seo. 11. All acts or parts of acts In conflict with this, are hereby repealed. Mr James Campbell said that he thought, tho members of the exchange would be making fine fools of themselves by approving any Bnch provisions.

Two interesting bills relative to the police force of this city wera brought to the attention of the Legislature yesterday. By one. of them it is proposed to restore the salary of the force to what it was in flush times, and deprive the Common Council of power to mako a reduction. By the other it is proposed to turn twenty five percent, of the excise moneys over to the police force as a pension fund. Between the two, should they pass, something over $100,000 per annum will be added to the burdens of the taxpayers.

At present, patrolmen get from $850 to $1,000 per annum. That is to say, the new men get the lower sum and length of service leads to the higher amount. In flush times, when prices and wages were at the highest, the patrolmen were paid $1,100 per annum, and to that it is proposed to restore them. The Excise receipts last year amounted to $117,000, and if 25 per cent, of that sum, to wit, $29, 980, be added to the addition to the salaries all round of $150 per annum, there being about 500 patrolmen, we have $101,890 as the aggregate which these measures are designed to take out of the pockets of the self supporting citizens of Brooldyn. These two propositions are exceedingly interesting as illustrations of what happens when the people surrender to the place holders, when it has, apparently, been proved that success at the poils is more likely to be achieved by the official who falls into the notion that the city is a fat goose to be plucked than by him who acts upon the principle that the public interests are to faithfully guarded, and the men intrusted with the expenditure of public money are, in duty bound, to be as careful as they would were they managing their own affairs.

At the election in November last the property owners and indirect taxpayers of the city permitted the horde of hungry place holders and patronage hunters to control the result. It was found that extravagance was more popular than economy, that the actual friends made by fidelity wera much less earnest than the enemies made by the lopping off of wasteful expenditures. The Eagle took occasion to inform its readers before the election that if men like Controller Burrill and Andrew Cunningham were defeated and Mayor Howell was not sustained, the taxes would, to a certainty, bo increased, and a new reign of oppressive extortion, under the guise of public appropriations, be inaugurated. The two bills before us are among the evidences that the Eagle was not and particular point is given to this by the personality of the men who have introduced them to the Legislature. The bill providing for the increase of salaries comes from Mr.

Trowbridge, and the one providing for the pension fund is from Mr. Talmadge. Talmadgeand Trowbridge were, up till last November, stipendiaries of the city. They were nominated by certain managing politicians who had found them useful and obedient and who expected loyalty at their hands in the Legislature. The people of their respective districts had no reason for not knowing them thoroughly.

They were well known to be the subordinates of politiciaus who had proved that their interests and those of Brooklyn were not identical. We are not prepared to say whioh of the political parties is most to blame for their existence as legislators. The Eepublicans nominated thorn, but the Democrats by their inexpressible stupidity made their success possible. Had there been an intelligent, active democracy in the districts, there could have been no Tallmadgo or Trowbridge elected, and the Republican managers would not have thought of nominating them. There they are, however, and their work is before us, work that is in its form a scandal, and in its spirit very closely akin to robbery.

These two bills mean nothing less in principle than a base determination to induce place holders with public money to discharge parti Ban service. The determination has been formed because it is assumed the honest, intelligent voters who are not indifferent, are helpless. It is a case of picking a man's pocket when his bauds are tied. At the present time the police force of Brooklyn is notoriously paid on a scale far in excess of that which obtains in the business world. General Jourdan testified distinctly before the Common Council, four months ago, that no trouble whatever would be experienced in getting good, first class, policemen for $800 per annum.

Every workingnian in Brooklyn knows that the General was not mistaken. How many mechanics are there in Brooklyn or any other American city earnirCg $800 per annum Is it not notorious that our mechanics are not earning half the wages now that were paid eight years ago Yet here are these policemen, and they are not alone in this respect, getting $1,000 per annum, while a bill is introduced to make the pay $1,100, the highest figure ever reached when currency was inflated and the cost of living double what it now is, and to garnish all, we have a bill to provide a pension fund of $27,000 per annum for them, so that by the time they reach 50 years of age they may retire with a competence, Let the workingman think of the outrageous character of the scheme. The carpenter, the blacksmith, the machinist and all their industrious brethren, work day in aud day out, toil till they double, but there is no pension for them. They are not organized political henchmen. They cannot be used to run primaries and electioneer for important city candidates.

Their only use is to sweat their blood into the treasury and look on while it is lapped up by vampires. We do not address ourselves to Trowbridge' or Tahnage, for they are mere creatures. To their masters we say that they are stepping exceedingly close to the edge of a volcano. The legislative delegation is Republican, the Legislature is Republican, and the Board of Aldermen is under the control of the same party. The Republican leaders cannot escape responsibility for what is now going on, or for what they permit to be effected toward making the public burdens unbearable.

The City of Brooklyn has now as much debt as she can stagger under, and that her citizens most urgently need relief is sufficiently proven by the fact that the taxes in arrears amount to over $3,100,000. What shall be thought of the rascally effrontery which proposes an increased expenditure in a city whose property owners are already so overweighted that they are in arrears $3,100,000 for current taxes Enropean movements. The latest European news is somewhat interesting. The Committee of Inquiry has reported in favor of impeaching the De Brogue Cabinet, whose obstinate and unworthy measures in attempting to defeat the popular will narrowly escaped the precipitation of a revolution. M.

de Fourtou was a member of this cabinet. It suppressed Republican newspapers, terrorized over Republican deputies, trampled upon the rights of the opposition and became a desperate oligarchy. It memDQrs unquestionably merited indictment for conspiracy, and perhaps the severest punishment, but the wisdom of impeaching these gentry at this day is questionable. The excitement is over the crisis passed favorably tbe tremendous strength of the Republicans bore down opposition and filled the Chamber, first with Republican deputies, following up the advantage by giving the Senate an overwhelming majority. Monorchism was crushed and there is little danger that it will make a struggle for years to come.

Under the circumstances, it would seem wiser to ignore tho conspirators and leave them to their humiliation and defeat, rather than make martyrs to principle out of them. In Germany the cause of despotism which Herr Bismarck so openly and audaciously advocates, has received a severe wound in the rejection of his disciplinary bill by the Reichstag. This cheerful instrument was simply designed to make the representative body the tool of tho Chancellor, which it prefers not to be. On the other hand, M. Passananfe, who attempted to assassinate King Humbert, has been condemned to death.

In view of the fact that other assassins who did commit murder escaped the death penalty through the abolition of capital punishment in Tuscany, it is believed that faaseanante'a antenna will ha mimmnM lisher, died in New York Thursday evening at her resi dence in East Fifty fourth street. She was tho daughter of James Selby West, and waa born in New York in 181 i She was a lady of fino mental endowments, and of an ex ceedingly sunny disposition. The mass meeting held in Newark, N. last evening, to protest against the employment of convict labor, waa largely attended. Several speeches were made and resolutions wera passed pledging those present to vote against any candidate for any office, who was not in favor of abolishing ail skilled labor from the prisons and reformatories of the State.

Nathaniel Greene Carnes, for forty years a prominent New York merchant, died in Ports on Wed nesday. He was a great traveler, and had roamed all over the.world. In 1815 he was in Paris, and Baw two notable events Napoleon review his troops before tho battle of Waterloo, and the entry of tho Prussians into Paris. He was also a witness of tho entry of the Germans into Pairs at the close of tha Franoo Gennan war in 1870. Mr.

Carnes built the Brevoort House in New York, and was a member of tho firm of F. N. G. Carnes, dealers in dry and fancy goods. Sinco 1805 ho has lived in Paris.

The Society of American Artists will hold an exhibition in Kurtz's gallery, beginning this evening. Mr. Moran, the well known artist, sent two pictures to the Hanging Committee, a largo and a small one, and tho latter only was received. The artist waa informed, and tho information bo enraged him that he demanded that the smaller picture should be taken down aud returned to him. The picture did not, in the opinion of tho com mittee, come up to the high standard which the Society of American Artists has established for itself.

Mr. Moran left tho gallery with his picture under his arm, after hearing this decision, aud announced that ho should immedlatey resign hia membership in tho so ciety. At the Cabinet council yesterday the appointment of the members of tho National Board of Health, under the new law, was considered. The bill provides that the Board shall consist, respectively, of one member representing tho Treasury Dopartmant, ono the Navy Department, ono the War Department, and one tho Department of Justice, and seven to be appointed by the President. The Cabinot selocted Sur geon General Woodworth, of the Marine Hospital, to represent the Treasury Department Medical Director Francis M.

Gunnoll, of the Navy Department Solicitor General Phillipps, of the Department of Justice, and Assistant Surgeon John S. Billings, of the War Depart ment, On Monday evening next Mr. Cyrus W. Field will hold a reception at his residence in Grammercy Park, Now York, in honor of tho twonty fif th anniversary of tho birth of the project of linking tho two continents by telegraph. The five men who met in Mr.

Field's diningroom a quarter of a century ago were Peter Cooper, MoseB Taylor, Marshall O. Roberts, Chandler White and himself. Mr. White is dead, and Mr. Wil6on G.

Hunt was his successor. A thousand guests aro in vited to tho reception, and in order to accommodate so many an extension has been added to Mr. Field's houso and his nephew'B houso adjoining is to bo thrown open to guests. The Western Union Telegraph Company will ruu a wire directly to the houso, and messages of con gratulation will flash around tho world. The reception will bo one of the most notable events of tho time.

Cardinal McCloskey has written Archbishop Purcell that a conference of Church dignitaries will bo be hold in the East, at whioh a plan Is to bo devised for his benefit. The German creditors aro tho most violent, and yesterday ono of them went to tho residence oi Rov. Edward Purcoll with a pistol in ills hand, aud declared that ho would kill him on sight. Fortunately, Father Purcell was out, and tho man was induced to leave without getting himself into trouble. Tho Archbishop is in tho country, and his phyalciana refuse to permit any ono to seo him on business.

It is Bald that the United States authorities intend to briug an action against tho archbfBhop for not listing the great amounts deposited with him for taxation. Many of the depositors who are now loudest in thoir demand for their monoy put it in the hands of Father Purcell to avoid the payment of taxes. Those people are not deserving of tho sympathy they are receiving. Tho poorer classes, whoso deposits were the gradual accumulation of years, are to bo pitied. Those who havo brought suits aro to be left to their legal remedies, while contributions aro coming in to tho trustees constantly to pay off the smaller creditors.

nartlj tarnished, two (ota.vrith grope vinos, peach, pear od cherry t. ia mination before his Congressional term commenced, but an extra session of Congress be ing necessary, Mr. O'Reilly will have to leave for Washington this month, and so Mr. O'Reilly, finding that he cannot draw the salaries of both positions under existing laws, goes to Albany in hot haste, with his little charter amendment bill in his pocket, and personally enters into the business of lobbying it through. That such a measure, urged for such a purpose aud hi such a way, did not challenge the opposition and contempt it merited, is another signal indication of the absence not merely of high public spirit, but of ordinary manhood and decency in our politics.

If a pauper in our poorhouse had been elected to. Congress by the accident of an accident, it would be fair to assume that he would not try to degrade an unexpected distinction by the means O'Reilly has resorted to, for quartering himself on the treasury of Brooklyn while receiving a handsome stipend from the Federal treasury, which it is not possible' he can earn. At this distance and with the information before us, it is impossible to understand the influence through which this bill has been put through both Houses, and without apparent objection from any inan or any party. A more scandalous specimen of mere personal legislation never disgraced the records of any Legislature. If the measure had been termed Au Act for the benefit of Alderman Dauiel O'Reilly," it would have been accurately described by its title.

Even as a party measure, it is a fraud, as all who are familiar with the composition of the present Board of Aldermen well know. If it be a party measure and challenged no objection from the representatives of the party it is designed to injure, then the Democratic minority are more contemptible than their opponents. It has been said that O'Reilly's vote is necessary to enable the Republican Aldermen to nullify the veto power of the Mayor of the city, at their pleasure. We do not think so, for O'Reilly has Democratic duplicates in the present Board of Aldermen men quite as shameless and just as venal. But if it were so, what will be thought of a Legislature that would change the charter of a city for such a purpose aud in order to make dual office holding possible, and "sinecurism "respectable," as has been well said.

We cannot believe that Governor Robinson will ever indorse such legislation as this is, for in resisting it he will vindicate his admitted reputation, and show that if the Legislative Department of the Government is emasculated of its manhood, it is only the more marked in its contrast with the Executive branch of it. Tiie Suez Canal. When in 1875 the now great English Premier purchased 17G.G02 shares of the Suez Canal and thus gained control of this route to India, Mr. Gladstone sat dowu and emitted one of his customary howls, which characteristic commentary he subsequently repeated when tho British Goverumeut recognized the vast importance of the Russian scheme of moving upon Turkey. Europe knows now that the outcry of Bulgarian atrocities was raised by Russian agents, that the Bulgarians were tutored by the aggressive Tartar to resist and provoke their rulers, and then to raise an uproar, catching an echo of which Mr.

Gladstone sat him down again and tearfully protested against any interference with the scheme of Holy Russia to punish the Heathen Turk. When Beaconsfield sprung the Cyprus cession upon the the perplexed members of the Berlin Conference, Gladstone once more betook him to his favorite occupation. He is probably at it again. It seems that the shares which Beaconsfield bought in the Suez Canal, for the most imperative and easily justifiable reasons in 1875, cost 568 francs a share, being just a trifle above par. To day they are quoted at 717 francs, and the Government of England has not only established its own short route to India, but has made a clear profit out of the transaction of 25,000,000 francs at present prices.

The revenues of the canal are now about 30,000,000 francs annually the expenses, including interest, sinking fund and everything are 17,000,000 francs a year. Whether as statesman or speculator, everything that Beaconsfield has touched in these later years seems to have resulted sue cessfully, and such is Gladstone's personal hatred of the brilliant Israelite that every one of these successes gives him the keenest anguish. Major Corwin, in behalf of Dr. Tahnage, informs the Presbytery, through the columns of the EaoIjE, that the Tabernacle people are ready for a free fight. This cheerful intelligence will, doubtless, have the effect of developing a still Btronger feeling in the breasts of the accusers against permitting tho scrimmage to take place where the reporters can sea and Scribe the incidents..
