JAIL DELIVERY. Cleaning; Ont tbe Raymond Street Bas tiie Sentence of Rentier, the City Bond Bobber. This morning, in the Court of Sessions, Judge Moore gave the finishing stroke to the criminal business of tin Summer, by the sentencing what prisoners remained In the Jail. With the exception of Loader and Prie, whose oases oould not be disposed of this term, there Is not a single criminal in the Jail under indictment, whdse case has not been tried and disposed of. The work of the Court has been brought to a conclusion for the Summer, the criminal calendar cleared off, and the Jail released from aa many prisoners as possible.

Tbe last sontencca were imposed this morning. They were only two in number, one of them being ETOOLPH KES8LIEB, the clerk who, nnder the administration of Controller Schroeder, Btole several thousand dollars in canceled city bonds from the Controller's office, and sold them. It will be remembered that Eesslier fled from the city, and was not captured until about eight months ago, when Detectives Corwin and Folk arrested him in a small town in the interior of Michigan and brought him to this city. He was confined in Raymond street Jail, and, although he pleaded guilty, sentence was deferred until this morning. When placed at the bar, Judge Moore addressed him briefly aa follows "Eesslier, in consideration of tho fact that you have been in jail for eight months, and that yon have disclosed matters of importance to the publio offioials, and acting upon the recommendation of the District Attorney, the Court has determined to impose upon you the lowest penalty allowed by law for your offense.

You will go to the Penitentiary for one year." Reseller received the sentence without emotion, and waa apparently prepared for it. His case has boon ((hanging by the eyelids," for several months, and Is finally cleared out of the way. William Hartz, who was tried early in the week for burglary, and upon whose case the jury oould not agree, withdrew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to an attempt at burglary. He waa seat to the Penitentiary for one year. This finished the sentences, and as soon as the Court can ascertain the truth as to Ellen Qutnn's story, it will be decided whether she shall go to the Penitentiary or be recommended to the Governor for pardon.

The officials of the District Attorney's office have shown a commendable amount of zeal in clearing out the jail and relieving the cells as much aa possible during the hot weather. But for the next two months they will gradually fill up with criminals, held by the different Justices' Courts to await the action of the Grand Jury, and by September there will probably be a goodly calendar to be disposed of. The jail is generally in its most crowded condition at the close of the Summer season. AN E. D.

STREET SCENE. SUNDAY LAGER. The Crusade Against the Beverage In Eat New York to be Continued Tomorrow Exciting Sceneai Anticipated. The keepers of the saloons and gardens in East New York will be under the surveillance of the Bev. George K.

Woodward again to morrow. This faot was announced last evening in tho local Journals of the village, and In oousequonco renewed excitement ran to a high pitch among those engaged in the liquor traffic. At those saloons where violations of the Snnday law have boon most persistent and flagrant numbers of sympathizers assembled, with the apparent object of offering their counsel and oondolenos to the proprietors. These latter personages, whose indignation at what they regard as an infraction of their rights knows no bounds, were, each in his own coterie, tacitly recognized aa the ORATOBS OF THE OdOAfllON. They did fnll justice to the opportunity, holding forth" from behind their bars in strains of vehemence, and frequently reviving their waning energies by copious draughts of lager.

Denunciation of the man who caused the arrests last Sunday seemed to bo the Btaple of all their harangues, and the refrain, "We hang das Toodward he ia a bumboog was so often repeated that it appeared to indicate what seemed to them the only way ont of their difficulties. The wrath aroused by the threatened continuance of the raid is all the more bitter because it was hoped that the action taken on Thursday night by the Liquor Dealers' Association would have the effect of silencing opposition. At the mooting then HELD 'WITH CLOSED DOOBS, some rather ludicrous incidents happened. By some means the proprietor of a local Journal happened to get into tho room where the Association met, and was industriously engaged taking notes when his presence was discovered. The discovery led to a motion, the literal text of whioh was, "that the proprietor of the Sentinel be bounoed." The resolution passed unanimously, and he was "bounced" forthwith.

An altercation then arose between two of the gentlemen present as to who was the most moral. One of them accused the other of being the most disorderly saloon keeper in town, alleging, aa grounds of the accusation, that he permitted music and dancing on Sunday. This Bting ing charge called forth the retort that his accuser kept AS MANY WIVES AS BBIQHAM TOUNO. The business, however, from which hopes of future immunity were indulged, was the passage of a resolution debarring all persons from membership in tho Association who continue to allow muslo at their premises on Sundays. Mr.

Hoering, one of the members present, declared that he would not respect this ordinance, and the amount of his Initiation fee, $2, was returned to him. It is said that tho Association will not now interfere for hia protection nnder any ciroumatances. Justice Gertrum feels deeply aggrieved by the representations of his conduot through the press. He claims that he saved the life of Mr. Woodward ou Sunday last by clearing the court room at the time he did, So overmastering was the EXCITEMENT OF THE MOB, that he declares one blow struck at the moment would have been a signal for a general onslaught upon the reverend gentleman.

He further Bays that the crusaders, in their eagerness to get a warrant, burst open his door; and he adds that if he can discover the per Bon who did bo he will lock him up on a charge of burglary. While he has no sympathy with the orusaders, he declares, notwithstanding, that if the jury will convict in any of the cases before him, he will enforce the law. To morrow is to witness a determined and it may be a bloody opposition to the further exercise of Mr. Woodward's powers. One of the most respeotable young men in New Lots, himself a liquor merchant, who, however, does not keep open on Sunday, told an Eaqlb reporter laet night that he knew men who were employed by the liquor dealers to thrash Woodward if he again appears in town.

Some apprehension of Buch an outrage may have been indulged by the temperance men, as the Sheriff has been requested to concentrate his deputies at Eaat New York throughout the day. A meeting of the Law and Order Association will be held to night. THE COUNTY. PERSONAL Hod well.

183 South First street, are sojourning for the season near Springfield, Mass. Shebman. The wife and daughters of General Sherman, aro at the Whiting House, Genevo Lake, Wisconsin, A correspondent writing from that watering place, says of them: Mrs. Sherman is accompanied by her eldest daughter, Miss Sherman, her son, a young gentleman of 19, two Misses Sherman, and tho youngest of the family, Philemon Tecumseh, a boy of 6, and one moid. The family is exceedingly unpretentious, and they wero in the houBe some time before they were known by the other guests.

Mrs. General Sherman Is a fine appearing, matronly lady of generous proportions; her hair, which is a very dark brown, almoBt blaok, is simply braided at the back in a pug, while the front, whioh waves naturally, is banded plainly behind her ears, where it is disposed of in two long ourls on either side of a face that is pleasing and attracts; her eldest daughter 1b like herself, but taller and quite Juno like in form. The younger girls aro rosy blondes, with hair delicately shading from pale red to nut brown. The young man is very plain in his dress, putting opB to shame, manly and sensible in his deportment. Littlo "Cumpy" as he is oalled, the youngest, haB a rose leaf complexion and a blessed little red head.

They eat at tho table d'hote, wait on themselves, and on each other, and do not hesitate to pass any dish to other guests, or to acknowledge the attentions of others, by a bow and a pleasant thank you. If any of my readers have a ourlosity to know how the "first young ladies" dress, I oan tell them, Miss Sherman was dressed, like her mamma, in plain black, knife pleated silk, with white lace ruches, and coral ornaments, and it was not the pull back stylo, as may be imagined, of young ladies who do not dance tho round dances on the Bcore of modeBty. The two Misses Sherman wore groy traveling dresses in two shades, very plain worsted material, without any silk trimmings. Their pretty girlish hats of white chip with the palest shade of blue gros grain ribbon. Their jewelry was as simple and unostentatious as their dress and manner.

As the young people wero preparing for a sail on the lake, Mrs. Sherman cautioned them in regard to the boat, remarking to a young lady noar "We are not a brave family." "One of your family is brave, I think," returned the young lady. Mrs. Sherman Bmiled, and another gucst'oskod one of the young sisters how she like her papa's book. "Indeed," she replied, naively, "I have not reod a word of it it is too old for me." Of course young Sherman is a welcome addition to the.

repertoire of tbe young ladies here, though I sadly fear ho is too sonsible to flirt, will not waltz or rodowa, and quite too discreet to fall in love. The chances of a watering place may do much for him, however. AFRAID OF HER LIFE. The Reoent Great Activity in European and American Markets, Bapid Rise In Values Speculation Rampant Deficient Crops in Europe Prospects of Our Exporting Interests The General Outlook. New York wholesale markets have exhibited a degree of activity in tho line of breadstuff during this weok, without precedent in the records of the commerce of tho port.

At the foundation of this extraordinary movement, and its prime cause, were the reoent reports from England and France of severe rain storms, and consequent injuries to crop prospects, which were deemed of sufficient gravity to occasion serious apprehension as to the food supplies for those oountrles (England partlculorly) for the immediate future. From other flections of Europe, notably from Hungary and Southern Busaia. the advioea were of very probable deficiencies In the harvest yield, because of protraoted drought, interrupted by rain too late to restore tho orops to tho sstlsfaotory bosis which had been calculated on, from the bettor outlook earlier in the season. These circumstances stimulated dealings in tho leading markets of Western Europe for prompt and forward dolivery, mainly in wheat, though largely also in flour and, to a fair extent, in corn. SPECULATIVE OPEBATOBS in those markets competed briskly for the control of the course of values and added vastly to the volume of transactions, and the accompanying exoitement.

The manipulations for higher prices were the most successful, aided by the unsettled weather, and the increased probability of a very short aggregate yield on the harvest returns, west and south of Germany, whence the reports were of very favorablo crop prospects. Great Britain added considerably to its imports of flour, wheat and oorn, as indicated by tho following figures for the respective periods of four weeks, ending with 5 Flonr, WUoat, Oorn, July 3. 807,334 8,134,695 425,823 8,439,784 1,960,563 Total 0,770,312 THE HOME DELIVERIES of wheat in the English markets, during the same psriod of eight weeks, wore equal to 1,456,009 quarters (of eight bushels to the quarter.) Theso deliveries, added to the ImportB of flour and wheat, made the aggregate supply for the period named equal to 3,200,000 quarters, as against an average consumption, in the same time, of 3,381,000 quarters. dtoing; the first half Of the ourrent calendar year, British imports of foreign broadstuffs, comprised of flour, wheat and oorn, tho following amounts as compared with the same period in the preceding year: January 1 to June 30. 1874.

11,099,000 1,101,000 13,405,000 12,309,000 The activity and buoyancy in Europe mot a prompt response in our own leading markets, not only in Now York, but in all the great sources of supplies on which Now York draws more directly, to meet the enormous requirements of its export trade. Chicago and Milwaukee went almost wild under the exoitement, so unusual in Midsummer. Speculation grew to vast pro portions, and prices advanced rapidly from day to day. Chicago operators proverbial for their daring surpassed themselveB, and almoBt all of them arrayed themselves on the Bide of the bulls, leaving measurably to strangers representing In good part Eastern merchants and bankers the priviloge of forming a short interest. The Chicago Tribune, of Wednesday, in explanation of the few local failures which resulted from the very sharp advance in flour and groin, remarked that the old rule had been reversed in this instance, and the usual short operators had followed the lead of the local capitalists.

It added that The short sales in this market on the reoent rise have chiefly been made by outside parties, many of whom reside in the East. Those on the seaboard who are inclined to speculate in grain have found the long side to be generally a losing one for several years past, and not a few of them thought to retrieve their losses by going Bhort. They did not attach much importance to the reports of orop damages, bolieving that the wheat producing area of the world is now so large that no damage can bo extensivo enough to make a serious difference in the aggregate yield. Hence they sold freely when tho West was disposed to buy, a id their trading was generally well covered by margins. Under the circumstances, a drop of five oents per buBh el would be more likely to causo local failures than an auvance 01 twice tnat amount.

To tho fact that such a drop or decline occurred on Thursday and yesterday, was doubtless due tho TBOTJBLE AMONO THE LOCAL OPEBATOBS, of which mention was made in the Chicago telegrams of Friday. One tendenoy of the rampant speoulation in the interior, was to arrest tho natural flow of produce to the seaboard, which, at thiB time, and under the existing conditions and ciroumatances of the trade of the country, cannot be viewed as other than a misfortune. The break in the Erie Canal, near Palmyra, is now having its effect also on the arrivals at this port, whioh, for a few dayB, and in the face of tho urgent export Inquiry, have been extremely light. The receipts at all the sea board ports, last week, comprised 151,000 barrels flour, 1,370,000 bushels wheat, 750,000 bushels corn, and 297,000 bushels oats, a considerable falling off from those of the week preceding. Lake port receipts, on the contrary, reached an aggregate of 82,000 barrels flour, 1,686,000 bushels wheat, 1,069,000 bushels oorn, and 352,000 bushels oats in all instances an increase on thoso of the previous week.

The estimated movement of brcadstuffs from the lake ports last week, comprised 98,500 barrels flour, 1,855,000 bushels wheat, 1,253,000 bushels com, and 302,500 bushels oats, showing in all the footings, other than wheat, (which is a trifling amount less,) an increase on tUoao of the preceding weok. AT THE NEW YOBK PBODUOE EXCHANGE, business in flour and groin, from Monday to Thursday, assumed immense proportions, values advanced materially. Speculation, doubtless, had muoh to do in producing these developments. On the export demand, however, the movement chiefly depended and the purohases for prompt and forward delivery were mostly on export aooount. If tho ocean freight market had been more liberally supplied with room and ton.

nage for early use, and the seaboard arrivals of pro. duce had been as free as usual, the outward flow, especially of flour and groin, would have been largely augmented. Wednesday's transactions were extraordinarily heavy in flour, wheat and corn and the aggregates of the sales on Thursday were olose up to the enormous totals of the preceding day. At the cloBe of Thursday, prices had reached the highest point on the upward, and the figures then made afforded the following comparison with those current three weeks ago, or at the close of June WITH ADVIOE3 OF MOBE SETTLED weather weaker markets abroad, and reports of depression at the West, prices yesterday receded in the Now York market ten to fifteen cents per barrel on flour and four to five cents on corn and wheat, on very moderate operations. The further decline in gold waB also adverse in its lnfluenoe, especially on the export movement.

The export clearances for European ports from the port of New York for tho week, comprised of flour 11,300 barrels, of wheat 1,142,000 bushels and of corn 277,000 buBhels. Very muoh more important aggregates on the outward movement are looked for on tho full resumption of navigation on tho canals and the receipts of tne accumulations of produce from behind the late break. At present tho amount afloat in the harbor yet unmarketed is limited and the supply in store is moderate, as shown by the following figures June 30. July 21 RnnftrfinwWhftjit, Flour.

the Eagle's Correspondent Turns Sailor. His First Experience A Plunge In tbe Briny Deep Prospects of a Prosperous Cruise. Oir Board Flagship Madeleine.) Glen Cove, July 22, 1875. I would make an addition to the Beatitudes, tit: Blessed is the man who owns a yacht and has llenty of time and sufficient quantity of 'mopusses' to viable him to enjoy It." The next best thing is to have a generous yacht owner or a friend, and receive an invitation to join him in an mnuol cruise of the Brooklyn Yacht Club flyers. The latter fortunate am I.

Two weeks ago I received in invitation from Commodore John J. Dlokerson be his guest on board the Madeleino during the annual cruise eastward." Accepted the invitation Believe me I did, and like he young lady, who when asked" what she had said to a natrimonial proposition, replied, "I said yea, old lorso, and proper glad I was he axed me." I immediately invested in a suit of the flannel and a arpaulln, eschewed suspenders and rolled a quid; bolide, I purohased a full set of Marryat's novels and wmmenced cramming with nautical terms and phraseB my knowledge of which, up to this time, had bsen as imited as the contents of my pooketbook. I read by day and dreamed at night. Skyscrapers, itar kissers, moon rakers, topsails, bobstsys.and belay ng pins floated through my brain in hideous con 'usion; one night I was Snarley Tow, then I was being toelhauled, and anon I was Bobinson Crusoe wander ng around a deaert island with my dog, umbrella, and ny man good Friday. At length the dreary fortnight passed away, and I eft New York for Glen Cove in the Ssawanhaka, this itternooD, Arriving at the Oove I found the boat of the Made eine waiting for me at the dock, and I quickly stept Dto it.

Excuse me, when I say stept in I mean rtept at it, for I alighted on the side of the boat, and not being a gymnast, I stood WILDLY GYRATING AND KICKING tut with the off foot (off the boat), convulsively brand ehing aloft my portmanteau in one hand and my cane ind overcoat in the other, uncertain aa to my destiny, antil the question wao decided without my having a ihance to Bpeak or vote upon it by my responsible foot dipping and plunging me, baggage and in the briny." After a brief indulgence In about two tathoms I appeared above the surface, as the prize ighters would say, "a little groggy," although I had aken nothing Btronger than water. I I was hauled aboard by one of the sailors very gracefully by the slack of my trousers, and was laid out on seat to dry, "a moi3t unpleasant body," while my baggage was being fished up. I tearfully glanced at I tho crew, but they managed to respoctfully control their merriment, but I regret to state that the inhabitants of Qlen Cove, male and female, both great and small, were perfectly regardless of my sensitiveness, and greeted my forlorn appearance with the most hideous outbursts of jeers and uncontrolled grimaces of convulsive ughter. Upon reaching the Madeleine I was most warmly welcomed by Commodore Dickerson and friondB who were gathered abaft the aft. (You perceive I bring Into use my Marryat learning.) After running the gauntlet of jokes, one of the party whom wo will call Smith, volunteered to rig me out in hip shape from his locker until my wearing gear had dried.

NOW SMITH HAD THE ADVANTAGE of me at the waist by about a toot, but my head tackling was about two feet the highest, so that when I tumbled up (literally) on deck, I was again the targot for innumerable jokes which hit the bull' eye every time. My arms protruded through the sleeves of the coat a foot too much, and my two feet about two feet below the bottom of the pants, and my body had abundance of sea room to wear ship, in the profuse folds of the generous trousers. My appetite, however, was not the least affected by my involuntary ducking, and I did full Justico to the sumptuous meal prepared for our evening repast. The Brooklyn fleet will be one of the largest and finest that hBs left these waters ia some years. At present it conalatafof the schooners Madeleine, Comet, Clio, Sea Witch and Vision, and sloops Sadie, Favorite, Libbie Maggie Playful, Scheme, White Wing.

Schooners Dreadnought and Estelle and sloops North Star, Spray and Kaiser have asked and received permission to fly the club signal and join in the cruise. The Aleathea and other boats will join tho fleet at Greenport. A meeting of the captains was held on board the flag ship last evening, when the following programme was adopted The fleet will start to morrow (Friday) morning, for Lloyd's Harbor, where an entertainment will be given by Mayor Wickham, of Now York City, to the Club, during the afternoon and evening. Saturday morning, "very early in the dawn," the fleet will start for Green port. If, however, tho wind does not hold, it will make for Morris Cove, in New Haven Harbor.

Tho hotel at Glen Oove looked dreary enough last evening. An insane musioian was frantically banging a piano, and a solitary couple were waltzing, looking oh! so Bad and lonely, while a dozen guests were planted around the piazzas. Some of the yachtsmen went in and saug "Michael Schneider's Party and Sich," but it failed to arouse any enthusiasm or even curiosity. So I left the hotel in its desolation, went aboard the Madeleine to dream of home, the babes and Brooklyn. O.

K. The Start Eastward. The Wo ld, of this morning, contains an ac count of THE RUN TO LLOYD'S NECK. A heavy rain prevailed throughout the nittht, but this morning tho weather showed signs of clearing. Ac coraing to tne arrangement, tae ueet left men cove at 8.30, with a fine BouthweBt wind and fair tide, and had a fine run to this place, anchoring in the outer harbor at 10.00, the Comet leading the fleet of schooners, and the Sadie coming in ahead of the sloops.

When all had arnvea, uie yaonis wero again got under way, ana forming in line, followed the Magdcleine into tbe inner harbor. The Dreadnought, Estelle, Comet and Voata, desiring to take advantage of the fine fair wind, it having canted to northwest, as the yachts entered the bay obtained permission of the Commodore to go on at once to Greenport, and sailed at about 1 P. after participating in the salute to Mayor Wickham on his visiting the flagship. RECEIVED BY MAYOR WICKHAM. The following yachts finally arrived in the inner harbor, off the residence of the Mayor Schooners Madeleine, Sea Witch.

Clio and Vision sloops Sadie, White Wing schooners Maggie Blue Jacket. Emma and the Playful, which left Glen Gove after the squadron arrived at 20 o'clock. Immediately on the arrival Commodore Dickerson went ashore to pay his respects to the Mayor, The arrival of the fleet took the Mayor somewhat by surprise, as he had not expected them before 4 in the afternoon. But he at once accompanied the Commodore on board of the Madeleine, when he was received by a general salute of one gun from each yacht. The sloop Schemer was dressed very beautifully, having no less than eight lines of streamers extending from the topmast head to the main and jibboom end.

During the afternoon the Mayor again visited the fleet with the ladies of bis household, who were shown through the principal yachts. At 5 o'clook the yachtsmen landed, by invitation of his Honor, and enjoyed tho hospitality of his house. There were present on this occasion the amiliea of Admiral Paulding, C. H. Dolameter, M.

Tappan and a few other guests from New York. There was no formal reception, only a cordial welcome by the Mayor and his guoats to their blue coated visitors, and after enjoying themselves until a late hour the yachtsmen returned on board, to snatch a tew hours of rest preparatory to their departure at 1 9 ciock to morrow morning. KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED. Two Stories Which an Intoxicated Car penter Told to the Police. At half past one o'clock this morning, Officer Smith saw on old man lying on the sidewalk, on Myrtle avenue, near the Fourth Preolnct Station.

When he stooped to raise him he saw that he waa bleeding from the nose and mouth. He took him to the Station House. There the old man said that his name was Edward O. Newman; that ha was a carpenter and 63 years old. He was asked how he came to bleed.

He said that he was intoxicated and that he had been induced by a stranger to him, to go into a liquor store in tho vicinity of Olasson and Flushing avenues. The stranger took him into the yard at the rear of tho saloon and there suddenly turned upon him and knocked him down. When he came to himself he found that he had been robbed of all the money he had about him, abont (46. The officer was sent with the man to the saloon whore this took place. The man couldn't And it.

Then he returned and told Sergeant Corr a different story. He said this time that he was waiting for a car at the corner of Flushing and Classon avenues when a man came up, knocked him down and robbed him.

Time, 3.07)4. Obituary. Losdoh, July 24. Isaac M. Singer, the inventor of the singer dewing Machine, died here at 10:15 o'clock last evening.

He v. as years of age. (The name of Singr was more prominently identified with the great industry which followed the invention of the sewing machine than that oi any other, with the exception of Elias Howe, who is fairly credited with the im cntion of the sewing machine, as we now know it. Mr. Singer was an improver on Howe's invention and, above all, the enterprising manufacturer of sewing machine.

The Singer Machine was introduced in 1350. It is constructed of a variety of sizes with application to all sorts of work upDn leather, upholstery and clothing, in which sowing machine can be used. The machine have a peculiar feed called the wheel and continuous feed straight needle with the eye pointed, and the ehuttlc movement of Mr. Howe. It is more generally used for manufacturing purposes and by large clothiers than probably any other machine known.

Tho sale of the machine went from 110 in 1853, to ever sixty thousand annually. The Singer Sewing Machine manufactories havo been established in various sections of the country, the largest being in new Jersey. The deceased acquired an immense fortune, as was indicated the other day by his present to one of his daughters of a million of dollars on the occasion of her marriage to a Williamsburgh sentlcman, now residing in London. Mr. Singer was a man of great enterprise and resolution.

Several men who have been identified v. ith him in his business have secured fortunes through bis aid and encouragement. He was a liberal employer, but outside his factory was very little known.) Railroad Accident. Washington, D. July 24.

Yesterday a serious accident occurred to the North bound passenger train on the Virginia Midland Railroad, near Bull Bun Bridge, fifteen or twenty miles south of Alexandria, caused by the breaking of a flange of a drawing wheel of the engine, which was probably owing to a defect in the track at that point. The en pine was thrown down an embankment about fifteen feet and turned upside down. The baggage, smoking car and ladies car followed it, and were piled upon and around tho engine. Tho sleeping car did not leave the track. The en gine, tender, and baggage car were badly broken.

The baggage master was hurt on the head and injured internally, It is thought he wUl die. One passenger had his arm sprained, and several' received scratches and cuts from broken glass. The engineer and fireman were taken out from beneath the debris entirely unhurt. There were about thirty five passengers on board. On Wednesday ad accident occurred at the same place, to a freight train, the engine of which was lying on the side of the embankment and prevented the ladies' car from plunging to the bottom, and perhaps averting loss of life.

It is Btated that the freight train was thrown off the track by an obstruction designedly placed upon it. Spain. Madrid, July 24. The Spanish Government has determined to contract a loan of $7,000,000, to indemnify the owners of emancipated slaves in Porto Bico. England.

The ports of New York, Boston, Portland, Me. Burlington, Vt. Suspension Bridge, N. Y. Detroit, Port Huron, Mich.

Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, New Orleans and San Francisco, alone constitute the ports of entry at which importations for the Exhibition will be made free of duty.

D. July 21. Tho Attorney General has sent to the President a long opinion in the Chorpenning case, reviewing tho various acta of Congress in relation thereto, and the various decisions of tho Supremo Court and Court of ClaimB, on which the principles governing this case have been judicially considered. The opinion is that the sum of $443,010.00, found be due by the late Postmaster General, cannot be paid, since tho repeal of the resolution whieh referred the case to the Postmaster General; that under tb.3 law, tho Postmaster General did not act as a judge, but merely as the minister of Congress; that his finding is not in the naturo of on award by an arbitrator, and that the case does not differ in principal from case of Gordon vs. the United States, 7 Wall, 193 that the award of $100,072.95, heretofore paid by Postmaster General Brown to Mr.

Chorpenning, which was found due nnder a reference to the Postmaster General, made by an sot of Congress, did not bind chorpenning so that he could not appeal to Congress for more. On the other hand, the Attorney General holds that tho present Postmaster General is not authorized to pay the additional amount found due by tho late Postmaster General lor the reason that Congress repealed the resolution of reference before the money was paid. He also holds that In the present condtion of the law tho Court of Claims has jurisdiction in this case, but he is clearly of the opinion that the amount found due by the last Postmaster General is not an award which the court can inforce; and that unless Congress intervenes the claim is debarred by the statute of limitations. THE GAGGERS. Arraignment of the Alleged Robbers of the Dancer Bonds.

THEY ARE HELD FOR INQUIRY. Michael O'Farrell, a tailor, and his wife Annie, charged with being implicated in the daylight robbery of the house of Matthias Dancer, at No. 50 West Eleventh street, New York, on the 12th and who were arrested yesterday, wero brought beroro Judge Kasmlre, at the Washington place Police Court, New York, this morning. The causes that lead to their arrest are as follows In April last Mr. Dancer had a servant named MABS LOGAN in his employ, who in tho month of May was taken sick and conveyed to the St.

Luke's Hospital. The day after her departure, May 25, Mr. Dancer missed almoBt $20,000 worth of coupons, clipped from United States and registered bonds. The servant was suspected as the thief, but as she died a few days after entering the hospital, the whereabouts of the coupons remained a mystery until yesterday. It was then ascertained by the officers engaged upon the case that Mrs.

OTarrelL who, with her husband, resided at No. 401 West Fiftieth street, was a sister of Mary Logan, and that she had attempted to negotiate one of the stolen coupons at the banking housi of Wm. Clarke, corner of Chatham and Chambers streets. THE o'faBBELLS were thereupon arrested, and upon searching their house a large number of the stolen coupons were found ecrtsd in a trunk; $6,000 of the coupons were found in the collar of Mr. Dancer's house yesterday, having evidently been Becreted there by tho deceased Bervant girl.

As has been mentioned above, the prisoners were brought to Court thiB morning. O'Farrell is a man about thirty years of age, and appeared to take things in a matter of fact manner. He does not dony that the stolen coupons were in bis house, but strenuously maintains that he was in no manner concerned in tho daylight invasion of the Dancer mansion. His wife is a pale, delicate woman, and while in Court was nursing her baby. Sho seemed much distressed by the circumstances which surrounded her.

As the officers could not produce any evidence thit they were concerned in tbe bold robbery of the 12th a complaint for receiving Btolengojds, knowiug them to have been stolen, was taken agiiust them. On this complaint Justice Kasiniro held them for trial. REM1MS1CESES. Jimmy O'Brien on Himself ami Others. JHis Former I'ifflil in New Yuvli anil Hisi Prevent Fix What He iHeans to Do About It.

Tammany proposes either to Ihrow out or neutralize Mcrriesey, O'Brien, Ledwith, Shandlcy and take its chances witli square R3publicans and square Democrats, especially as thi." extraa vl persons will try to baud with the Custom Houtie Ring. Ttnimany could do one better thing than ueut alize these elements expel them. Morrissev tries a big game of bluff in the Tribune tc day. He means to fight tho TuiLinany of Kelly with the Tammany of Momaey and beat it, irnrny O'Brien has ateo boon heard from. lie interviews in a threatening mood 111 this afternoon's Graphic.

He recounts in a bombastio W3y his well known disclosure oi the ring figures to the Tii.iee and adds what hp proposes to do. says "Now," said O'Brien, "the Ring had everything fiicd.but for my expose of tUoin, to make Johu T. HjIT luan Governor. Turned aside in this eud avor by the firm of Tweed Hodman and those fellows wheeled for Grteley. He was uot a Democrat, and if he had succeeded would have owed his success in New Yt rk to the same old City Hall crowd.

So I made iny ccalialion with the Great Bepubiicans and ran for Mayor against Lawrence and ilavenieyer. The results of this tangled contest were the election of a Republican Mayor, Governor, senator ana President. The Catholic Churcb, which is a powerful element of thi 1 Democracy, got down on me because in the con Fcquences they lost some endowments and ap propriations they had been receiving for their schools, hospitals, and other institutions. Kernan was defeated also a Catholic by General Dix, and this was attributed to me. All the patronage of New York went to the Republicans, and I couidu't provide for my friends.

The Greeley Democrats were incenFed at me. For three years I have stood up un i der all this. Now I expect to help destroy the present corrupt Tammany Hell of Johh Kelly, just as I did Tweed'B. John Kelly iB as big a despot as ever was known in a Sty. He is a bull headed prize fighter.

I can prove that he fought a ring fight up at Fort Les. But Morrissey isn't good enough for him. The present government of New York is as unintelligible as if a bull was to be turned into a rat pit to gore the rats to death. Kelly is overbearing, absolute, raging, while underneath the police system and tho sinecures are as in famous as ever. It's a government of old offendors, weariDg kid gloveB, and affecting to put on new moral ity with their rainient.

Mr. George Alfred Townsend is the man who works the above out of Mr. O'Brien. MARC'Y AVENUE BAPTISTS. The Marcy avenue Baptist Church has made arrangements to secure the very beBt preaching talent during the absence of its paBtor, Dr.

In Justice Morse's Court, tho case of Officer Patrick Campbell, of the Tenth Precinot, against James Warden, for disorderly conduct, and of Warden against Campbell, for assault, came up for examination. Counselor Barrett appeared on behalf of the officer and James Gray for Warden. Officer Campbell swore that on June 25, at about 1 A. M. he arrested Warden on tho corner of Atlantic avenue and NevinB street, that Warden was drunk and abusive and that he was assaulted by Warden after which he clubbed him.

Warden's witnesses sworo that he was not drunk and that Campbell clubbed him without provocation, and that Campbell had previously Bald that he would lay out Warden whenever he saw him. This Campbell denied. Counsellor Barrett waived examination in the case of the charges against the officer, and will take them before the Grand 'Jury. JuBtice Morse received his decision on Warden's case until Monday. TWO DESERTERS DROWNED.

I On Sunday night three sailors deserted from ihe U. S. man of war Powhattan, at the Navy Yard. They flung themselves into the water with the inten tion, it is supposed, of swimming to the New York shore. Neither of them were seen alive again.

Mr. McConvillo was born in tho north of Ireland, and he came to this country about thirty years ago. Ha went into the dry goods business in New York in a small way, and by steady application to bis calling built up a very largs business, and acquired a largt fortune.

Ho conducted his business from the beginning on tho principle of paying cash for what he bought, and selling only for cash. For many years his chief trade was with traveling venders of dry goods. He may bo said to have had a monopoly of this business. Buying for cash, he was always enabled to 'purchase at the lowest ratoj, and selling for cash ho was secured agalnBt loss, and waa thus in a position to undersell more speculative traders. some years ago, Mr.

McConvillo purchased a very ele gant mansion on the corner of Clinton and DeKalb avonues. For this property he paid $108,000, it being probably tho most valuable private resldonoe in Brooklyn. Of late years Mr. McConvillo purchased largoly of real estate was the ownor of the Brooklyn Market property, and of a great amount of real estate in Westchester County. The deceased used tho fortune with whioh he had been intrusted with un bounded liberality.

No man whom he knew ever appealed to him for aid, in his difficulties, in vain. There was no publio or private charity connected with the faith which ho professed to whioh he waa not a liberal donor. He was a straightforward, truthful, sooial, generous man one whoBO loss will be very generally and vory dosorvodly regretted by a very large number of people outside of tho circle of his immediate acquaintances and friends. Mr. McConvillo was twice married.

A widow and three daughters and two sons BUrvlve him. Tho funeral will tako place on Tuesday morning from tho DobevoiBO street Roman Catholio Churoh, and the remains will bo interred in Calvary Cemetery. ABANDONED. A Young Husband Who Loves Sport Better Than His Wife and Ohildren. His Heartless Abandonment of Them Their Poverty and Distress.

A poouliarly hard case of abandonment was brought to tho notice of Justice Riley this morning. John Shields married his wifo Isabolla about sevon years ago. Ho wos thon 19 years of age, and sho a year younger. Thoy woddod against the wishes of their friends. John was a smart young nion, and was doing, sufficiently woll to launch decently Into matrimony.

But even at that age traits of okaractcr wore budding that threatened to disturb marital bllas. John waa a trifle fast. He associated with mon older than himself, and of a kind to inductgbim into enticing but oblique ways. For the first yoar or bo tho young couple lived in peace. In 1870 they had two childron.

They wero living at No. 340 Dean Btrcet. About thiB time John's attachment to his wlfo and children BEGAN TO WAVER. In November, 1870, he abandonod them. It is said that he had previously had some angry words with his wife, and ho star ted off to business the next morning, and stayed away.

Ho was a traveling agent for a wholesalo house in Centre street. Some weeks elapsed and he did not return to his home nor send word of hia whereabouts to hia wife. Sho was nearly crazed at his protracted absence. He had not made any provisions for his absence, and the family began to suffer oven for tho meagrest necessities of exissence. The truth at last dawned upon the distressed wife that sho had been abandoned, She sought tho counsel of some of tho friends who know her in earlier days, and they assisted her and advised her to take out a warrant for hor husband's apprehension and return.

She reluctantly did this. In a few weeks the husband was in custody, Ho was brought before a magistrate, and being charged with abandonment of bis wife and babes, ho promisod, if released, to suport thorn. His word waB takon for it, and he WENI JJAOK TO HIS HOME. Ho lived there awhilo, and then he abandoned it again. Ilia wife again had him arrested, and again ho professed to be penitent and willing to come back.

He left her for tho third time a couple of months ago, and now thoro wero threo childron. A friend of Mrs. Shields, to whom she had oonfldod her wrongs, determined to pursue the utterly faithless husband to the end. He put the law again on his track. ShieldB is a slippery follow.

He had been apprehended after each of his oscapades with considerable difficulty. Officer ShaughncsBy bore tho warrant for his arrest this time. He went direct to his placo of business, Libby Co's collar manufactory, in Lisponard street, Now York. He was travelling for that House. By a Btreak of fortune tho officer mot him as he waa leaving the building.

"I want you," said Shaughnessy, laying a hand on hiB shoulder. "What do you want me for?" Shields tartly inquired. "On a warrant tor abandonment, Jobu Shields, that's your name, isn't "No; I AIN'T THE MAN TOU WANT," Baid Shields, looking nervously around. "I guess you are; you had better come along, anyway," said the officer and he brought him to Brooklyn. Sbiolds is about twenty six yearB old.

Ho has the manner and air of "a young sport." His salary enables him to live and dress well. It is said that he is fond of oards, billiards, add its adjuncts, and is not averse to women, saving hiB wife. His wife and children, through his hoartleasneBB, have boen put in a do. plorable condition. They occupy a room and a bed room in a miserable hovel in Adelphi street.

They have actually no furniture in these rooms, not even a bed. Their clothes are the patchings from happier days. At times they have beon sorely pressed with hunger, but juat as thoy were at an 'extremity SOME KIND HAND has relieved them. A gentleman who called upon tho wifo yesterday aftornoon, found her in this extremity, and he mado temporary provision for the family. The hUBband, it is understood, Bays ho abandoned her because of her infidelity, On the other hand, it is said by thoso who aro acquainted with her that Bho was always faithful and attentive to her husband and childron.

When Shields was arrested yesterday he said, I'd give $200 rather than be locked up in the jail to night." He Ib evidently not suffering for the want of money. To day ho was bailed till Monday morning, when the case will bo examined by Justice Riley. Chalmers M. Benson appears for the wife, and Thos. E.

Pearsall for the husband. HE WANTS TO GET OUT. The Man wlio waa fioins; to Rot Thinks Better of It. It will be recollected that a few days ago tho Eagle contained an account of an individual named John Wild, now confinod in the County Jail for contempt, who, with Oalileolon persistency, declared that he "would rot flrBt," before he paid tho fine. Wild was imprisoned for refusing to obey an order of tho City Court to pay a judgment of (200 obtained against him.

Judging by the vehemence with which he reiterated his determination, one would think he bound to let the rats draw him through the keyhole before ho would pay up. But the hot weather and a good taste of tho horrors of the Raymond street Bastile have convinced Wild that the process of decomposition to which he had sworn allegianoe, was too slow, and had better be accelerated by exposure to the open air. Wild's counsel, Timothy O'Conner, appearod before Judge Reynolds, in the Special Term of the City Court, this morning, with an order to show cause why Wild should not bo released, as confinement was detrimental to his health. The order was opposed by J. Hudson Morse, counsel for Engineer MoEntee, the creditor of Wild, on the ground that he Bhonld be allowed to rot as long as ho pleased, unless he paid the money.

He produced affidavits to show that the jail was perfectly healthy, a rog nlar Sanitarium, in fact, and that the dellcato health of Wild was in no danger. The Court took the papors. FELONIOUS AS SACLT. Last evening at 5 o'clock, Mrs. Moran, of 725 Atlantic avenue, took her son Thomas nine years.into the Tenth Precinct Station House to have his head dressed by a physician.

The boy had a very severe scalp wound on his head, which had beon inflicted by an unknown young man who lived next door to him. It appears that little Moran was ploying in front of the door of tho next house to his mother's and this young man, who has recently come there to live and is a stranger, chased him away and finally threw a billet of wood at him and this struck Moran on the head. His assailant made his escape. Moran was sent to the Long Island College Hospital, where the wound was dressed. SUS STRUCK.

Scoutine. HOW MRS. TEBIULL GOT THE POISOX. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle In your recent notices of the attempt of Mrs. Terrill to poison her husband, I noticed a number of erroneo us statements, but so long as I was not particularly interested I did not conceive it necessary to correct them.

In your editorial columns of yesterday's Issue you see fit to assail me for recklessness in Belling poison, and Btate grave charges in Buch a manner as to give them an air of plausibility. Tho stateraont to which I refer is this: "The druggist refuses to sell arsenic pure and simple; tbe boy came back and tbe druggist sold him arsenic in the ooncrete (whatever that may mean,) under the convenient cloak of ratsbane." ThiB I object to as being simply not truo. The boy did not return nor did we sell arsenic to any of the family. Tho following iB the true version of the case: On Tuesday afternoon a small boy called at my office and asked mi for fivo cents worth of arsenic which I refused to soli him. Later in the day, and during my absence, a woman purchased ten cents' worth of paregoric from my clerk.

After It was put up sho asked if it was good for killing rats, to whloh the clerk replied in the negative. She said ahe had been told to get paregorio or arsenic. Ho then recommonded phosphorus paste, which is put up especially for killing rats; n1 nrhtnt. nvntnv tr. fTI SCOniint Of tbO difflCUitV nr hnmwTi Ia fall into imnroncrH wj.

tion, etc. Presidont Massey, of tho Piro Department oalled upon the Mayor this morning in refcronco to the increased pay of the ftremon. The May0r signified his intontionof signing the warrants for the pay at tho old rates. Supplementary warrants for the increase of $100 a year or $8.33 a month are to bo will not be signed uutll provision shall have been made in the budget to meot the certificates upon which tho monoy to pay the increased rates is to be raised and which will become due In January next. The Mayor contends that bo cannot legally Blgn warrants for the extra pay until this provision shall havo been made in the budget, and thiB is tho only ground of his refusal to sign.

The result will bo that the firemen will have to wait only a couple of monthn at tha furthest before receiving tho increased wages. Hia Honor considers he performed his duty in vetoing tho resolution increasing the pay, but, his veto having boon overridden, he will not now oppose the measure any furthor.

Rftfflme. ILiIj The Whip of a Woman Across the Face of a man. The Eastern District was considerably excited yesterday evening by reports of a recontre between a couple of self sustaining ladies and a politician of a good deal of aotivlty of the bustling Williamsburgh kind. He was standing on the corner of Grand and Fourth streets, bo the story runs, talking with the Postmaster of Brooklyn, the Senator from the Second District, and another gentleman, a brother of one of the ladles referred to. The conversation was entirely general, and of a chaffing charaoter.

It was graphically interrupted by the approach of the ladies referred to, under full Bail of fashionable dress. One of them neared tbe active politician already indicated, and, without special preliminary, LAID AOBOSS HIS COUNTENANCE the tingling length of a dexterously applied whip. The moment the surprise, but now the pain, had abated, and as soon as the situation was taken in, the brother of the Incensed castigatrix, who was present, at once took hold of his sister, not with much ceremony, and put a period to her pleasing amusement. The cause of this assault has not been given, and none of tbe parties have boon successfully interviewed. No arrests, and no cards.

PROBABLY FATAL CLUBBING. Officer Shannon, of the Seventh Precinct, Badly Clubs a Wife Beater Who Heslsts Arrest. On Saturday night laBt, John Kelly, of 51 Box street, Greenpolnt, came home while under the influence of liquor. A quarrel arose between himself and hiB wife, which was transferred tho street. Hore, it is alleged, that ho struck hor several times, and threw a atone at her.

Officer Shannon was attracted by her cries, and when he reached the scene of the disturbance and attompted to arrest Eelly, the latter turned on him and a scuffle ensued. The office applied his club vigorously to Kelly, belaboring him badly about the head. He then took him to the Seventh Precinct Station House and locked him up. During tbe night Kelly bled profusely from the head. The Police Surgeon was oalled, and Eelly was taken to his home, where he became delirious and raved wildly.

Yesterday the wounds assumed such a dangerous aspect that he was removed to tho Eastern District Hos pital. At the place designated Drs. Brady and Lind i ley made an examination of the bruises, and ouud that on the left Bide of the head the scalp was laid bare, tho wound extending several inches. Mortification has set in, and there is a possibility of the injuries terminating fatally. A MESSAGE FROM TIIE SEA.

Last evening Scott Oswald and Asa Willis brought to the Eighth Precinct Station a quart bottle which contained a paper written on. They were afraid to open it when they found it at Coney Island in the afternoon. The Sergeant uncorked the bottle and fished out the document on whioh was written tho following: "At sea, July 7, barque, B. J. Campbell, Captain, J.

A. Holden, from Charleston, bound for New York, foundered this morning, thirteen passengers lost, seven saved who are now in an open boat, in distress. Their names are, Captain Holden, First Mate E. E. Gregory, Second Mate Thomas Whittaker, Charles Maliory.Henry Dyer, H.

Hamilton, seamen. One lady passenger saved, Miss Annie Hamilton." To ascertain whether this strange document had any foundation fact, an Eagle reporter thiB morning examinod Lloyd's Shippiny Register, and could not find any vessel bearing the name B. J. nuving Bailed from Charleston anywhere near date given in the document. The weather from July 1 to 7 was comparatively mild, and the probabilities ore that the inscription has boon placed in the bottle by some fun loving persons, who were animated by a desire to create a little sensation.

DIDN'T WANT TO BE KISSED. At noon to day two ladies were going down Comt street, and at the corner of Joraiemon a drunken man reeled up to them and embracing one of the pair deliberately kissed and bugged her. She screamed, and in less than no time a crowd collected, freed the lady from the embrace of her obnoxious admirer and ran him into Justice Walsh's Court, where he gave the name of James F. Walters, but would not tell where he lived. He was too drunk to be tried, bo Justice Walsh committed him on a charge of having committed an assault on one "Ann Doe, the lady's real name being unknown to tbe complainant," who in the case is Officer Burns.

The ladies of course got away as quiokly as possible and would on no account give their names. GEOBtiE FLANLY IN A DILEMMA. George Flanly, the Superintendent of the Police Telegraph, was rcoeiving a message at the Central Office a little while ago, and the Sergeant sending it wanted to spell "hydrophobia." Well, sir," said George, "I oouldn't make out what tbe dickens ho was trying to get over the wires, he was about hall an hour at it, and at last he gave it up in disgust," How did you know what he wanted to Bend then 7" asked the reporter. I never would have known at all," Bald George, "only that I happened to have been talking about dogs just before I took the message 1 HIGHWAY BOBBERY. Late last night, John Smith, of 2o0 Plymouth street, waB coming through Fnrman treet, in the direotion of the Fulton Ferry, when he was met by three men, one of whom knocked him down with a club, and the other two rifled hiB pockets and stole $2 from him.

Smith, when he was clubbed, was knocked senseless, and as Boon as he recovered consciouBnesB, he staggered along Furman to Fulton street, and th ere he was aeon by Officer Donlon, who supposing him to be drunk, arrested him and took him to the York street Station House. There Smith told his Btory to the Sergeant, who immediately bad a severe scalp wound dressed. The wound was on Smith's head. After it was dressed, Smith went home. A STATE PK180X BIBD IN THE TOILS.

Christian Gunner, a traveling watohmaker, and who has served a term in State Prison already, was this morning held to await the aoiion of the Grand Jury by Justice Walsh, on a oharge of having stolen a gold watoh from Frederick Stroshall, of Myrtle avenue and Gold street, and a silver watoh from Frederick Sherman, of 160 Myrtle avenue. Gunner got these watches to clean and repair and went off with them. Deteotive Curran arrested Gunner a few days ago. After he had been held by Justice Walsh and was being led back to the oourt cell, Gunner said to Curran, who had arrested him, "You I'm going to Sing Sing certain on this, but by when I come out, I'll fix you." "AU right," Baid Curran, "I'll look out for you." A CONDUCTOR DISCHARGED. Justice Walsh had a conductor of the Coney Island Eailroad before him, this morning, on a charge of assault.

Aldridge Packer, the oonductor, had a man named Thomas Walsh on his train and Walsh was trying to 'Ojeat his fare" out of Paoker, and the latter put him off the train. Walsh then got a warrant charging Packer with assault. Justice Walsh elicited the above facta and promptly dismissed the oomplaint and discharged the conductor. THIRTY SECOND REGIMENT. Orders have been issued to this command by Colonel Koohr, relative to the UBUal practice at Creedmoor, in compliance with Instructions from Brigade Headquarters.

Tho companies will proceed to Creedmoor in order as follows Thursday, July 29, Companies A and August 5, Companies and AuguBt 12, Companies and August 19, and H. The field ofliocrB and staff will accompany the flrBt detachment. VELOCIPEDE STOLEN. A three wheeled velocipede was stolen from under tho stoop of Mr. Rankin's house, No.

63 Wil loughby street, at five o'clock last evening. It Is valued at $7,50. ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY. About noon, yesterday, two unknown burglars attempted to force an entrance through the basement door to the residence of Mr. Silas B.

Bobbins, No. 13 Fifth street. Mr. Bobbins and his family are absent in the country. The burglars wore scared away before they couldrfimoys any property, leaving a Jimmy behind.

Nursery Children Ocean Parkway Fire Department of East New York Panper tabor, Etc. At a meeting of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum Society this week it was resolved to notify the Commissioners of Charities that the institutions under their charge are now ready to receive Nursery ohildren. The Commissioners will receive a communication from the Society, at their meeting on Wednesday next. The children will probably be transferred some time next week. The cost of maintenance will be fixed by the Board of Supervisors.

OCEAN PARKWAY, The Commissioners for assessing the cost of extending Ocean Parkway, met in exeoutive session this morning, at the office of the Park Commissioners. OFF TO LAKE GEOBGE, Com. Midas, of the Charities County Auditor Fitzgerald will leave on Wednesday or Thursday next forLako George, where it is their intention to pass a few weeks. THE FIEE DEPARTMENT OF EAST NEW YOBE. The members of the Volunteer Fire Department of East New York are greatly annoyed at the result of the last town meeting, which declared that a majority of tho voters of the township were opposed to an expenditure for supplying it with water in case of a conflagration.

Many of the firemen are determined, it is said, to withdraw their services and it is not at all improbable that the responsibility of protecting tho village from Are will be relegated to the Town Board. A fire engine without water is certainly a poor protection to property. UTILIZING PAUPEB ZiABOB. For the past few weeks, Superintendent Murray, undor instructions from Commissioner Cunningham, has been utilizing pauper labor in building a stone wall at tho AlmBhouBe. The work shows that the utilization of paupor labor even at the County Buildings, is within the limit of possibilities, when the Commissioners are willing to command and inforce obedience.

STAGE FACILITIES TO THE COUNTY BOTIdMNGS. The County BuUdingB at Flatbush, aro about a mile from the Flatbush avenue cars. To reach them, without walking on Wednesday, which is visiting day, there are two lines of stages. One line consists of a broken down horse and wagon, which travels the distance in about twenty five minutes. The charge is five centB.

Traveling on this line is both tedious and dangerous. Tho other conveyance 1b better, consisting of a more substantial vehiole and two horses, but the fellow in charge generally keeps you waiting from five to ten minutes at the intersection of Clarkson street and Flatbush avenue, before he consents to start. His charge is ten cents. Both lines are an intolerable nuisance to visitors to the county buildings. Either the Commissioners of Charities or some entorprising person should run two or three stages on visiting days, which would save so much loss of time.

Comfortable conveyances are sure to pay, for the number of visitors is generally very large. Few would object to pay five or ten oents fare, especially in these warm Summer days, when a walk up Clarkson street is something to be avoided, if possible. HON. JACOB WORTH. Farewell Tributes to tne Departing Xourist.

The usual preliminaries to the departure of any citizen of prominence on a foreign tour, such as a serenade and like attentions, were last night and today tendered the Hon. Jacob Worth. In the first place the Sixteenth Ward Republican Association Improved the occasion of an extra meeting by the adoption of a preamble and resolutions embodying naught but good wishes. Later he was aorenaded by tho Williamsburgh Saongerbund, led by Mr. Eisner, and the President, Mr.

John Lange, tendered tho sympathy of the society to Mr. Worth, who is also a mem a brief and appropriate address. To that Mr. Worth responded at BOme length, expressing his appreciation of the unexpected ovation. He also alluded to the motivo of the trip, which was twofold to seek physical relief from a painful rheumatic affection and revisit the scenes of his early childhood.

Subsequently Frank's band, accompanying numerous admiring friends of Mr. Worth, arrived, and then followed the performance of several select sirs. The entire assemblage, on invitation of Mr. Worth, adjourned to Falkenmeyer's Garden, in Montrose avenue, where singing, band music, speeches, and a general interchange of sentiment was indulged in. When tho company separated it was with the understanding that all should meet again on tho Bteamer Seth Low this morning and participate in the final leave taking in the lower bay.

THE PBEAMBLE AND BESOLUTIONS, as adopted at tbe meeting of the Sixteenth Ward Republican Association, are as follows Whereas, Our esteemed fellow citizen, Hon. Jacob Worth, long and favorably known In the Legislature of the State, in whioh he has represented the Sixth Assembly District of Brooklyn, and served with honor and distinction, contemplates visiting Europe and TPAsreaa, It is customary on such occasions to express some token of respect be it therefore Resolved, That as the time of the departure of our honored friend is limited, thereby precluding the posBibuity of hiB acceptance of a publio banquet, a delegation of the Sixteenth Word Republican Association assemble at' the pier foot of South Sixth street, on Saturday morning, and embark in the steamer Seth Low, to escort him down the bay. At the parting a pleasant voyage and safe return was the unanimously expressed wish of Mr. Worth's friends, STEALING TO DEVELOP GENIUS. Fred.

Schneider, a boy of eleven years of age, with one exception was the only prisoner arraigned to day in the Fifth District Police Court. He was accused by Jacob Asums, whose residence is at No. 55 Delmonico place, with having stolon $10.25 from a bureau drawer on Tuesday last. With the money young Schneider had purchased a drum and tambourine, his intention being to start a minstrel troupe, of which he was to be an end man. It is not likely his talent in tho burnt cork line will be largely developed for at least a year to come, as Justice Elliott sentenced the boy for that period to the House of Refuge.

The drum and tambourine were confiscated. WORKMEN'S WAGES. Some time ago eight men who had been employed by Thomas A. Goodwin at the Columbia Flour Mills, at Atlantio Docks, brought a suit against him to recover wages due them for work, labor and services. They obtained a judgment against Goodwin, and the case was carried up to a higher court, he meanwhile giving bonds for the amount of the judgment, $157.70.

The case was lost in the higher court by Goodwin, and the Hon. Patriok Heady, counsel for the workmen, brought suit against the bondsmen, Philip A. Wilderson and Joel T. Rico, to recover the amount of the Judgment. This morning he moved for the appointment of a receiver, as he learnod that one of tho bondsmen had some property.

Judge Mooro granted tho order, and named Bernard York, Deputy Clork of the County Court, as the receiver. A PARK POLICEMAN'S CLUB. James Kelly, an officer of Washington Park, waB arrested on a warrant charged with striking Thomas Johnson over the head with his club, inflicting several severe ecalp wounds. JoUnson came to the Fourth Precinot Station House bleeding profusely yesterday afternoon, and informed the police of tho assault. Kelly says that Johnson was acting in a disorderly manner in the Park and he attompted to eject him, when Johnson so violently resisted that he was compelled to use his club in Belt defense.

Singularly enough he did not arreBt the man after clubbing him. Justice Biluv will examine the ciaa on Monday. Patrick Median's Wile Before Justice Walsh. "Judge, your Honor," said a respectable little woman to Justice Walsh this morning, "I want to know can't you do something with my husband 7" "What do you want me to do, my good woman 7" "Well, Judge, I don't wont to be bringing him before you tune and time again couldn't you Bend him to tho Daebriates' Home 7" "I can't do that, Mrs. Meehan," said His Honor "he's hardly a fit case for that Institution." "But, Judge, if you let him out I'll be afraid to live with him ho threatens to kill me, your Honor." "Ill see about it," said the Justice, and Mrs.

Meehan sat down. She resides at No. 201 Hudson avenue, and a little while ago Bhe had her husband arrested for intoxication and threatening her life; his case came up for trial this morning. Patrick is frequently In tho habit of taking several glasses too much, and when under the influenco of liquor he is not only quarrelsome, but as it was said in court, "he gets out of hia head." and at such times the little woman has as much as Bhe can do to keep out of hia way. However affectionate he may be when sober, he certainly does not treat his partner properly when drunk, and she has bcoomo sick of being chased around with knives.

Dr. A. Werner Shepherd, the Jail physician, went to that institution to examine Meehan, and found him in a state bordering on insanity, caused by the constant and excesBivo use of alcoholic liquors. The following is the letter sent to Justice Walsh by the doctor Kings Counti Jail, July 10, 1875. Hon.

Andrew WaUh: Dear Sin Patrick Meehan, now an inmate of this jail owaiting trial, is in condi ion of temporary in Banity, induced by tho prolonged use of alcoholio liquors. I hardly think he is a fit subject for the Insane Asylum, but rathor comes under that class of unfortunates for whom tho Inebriate Asylum is designed. Bespectf ally yours, A. W. Shepabd, M.

D. Judge Walsh decided that Patriok was not a fit subject for tho Inebriate Home, as when Bobor ho is a careful and industrious man, so he committed him to jail in default of bail, and by the time he oomes ont be will be perfectly sober and as usual repentant. THE COURTS. Durance Vile. In the City Court, Special Term, before Judge Beynolds, this morning, ex Judge Troy made a motion to set aside an order of arrest Issued again st Thomas F.

Metz at tho suit of William H. Nichols, who charges bim with obtaining goods upon false representations. The ground of the motion was that tho arrest was not upon proper grounds and that Metz had not made any misrepresentations In obtaining the goods. Tho court took the papers. City Court Decision.

BX JDDQE BEYNOLDS. Jacob E. Smith, respondent, vs. Henrietta Chassaud, appellant. Judgment modified and affirmed or modified with costs of appeal.

Opinion on file. Judge McCue concurred. County Court. To day was the last day of the term for the hearing of supplementary orders and proceedings in the County Court. This department of the business of the Court Is about as vexing and annoying as legal proceedings generally are for the parties concerned.

A tuppenny case for $25, in a landlord ond tenant case, or on a sheriffs exooution for a bill for needles and buttons, will involve more argument before the Court, more longwinded harangues and quoting of abstruse law on the part of counsel, than a great railroad bond case or a question of international law. But for a few weeks there will be a surcease of these troubles, and in the wilds of Pike County, Judge Moore can forget that such a thing as a supplementary ordor exists. Jack Tuttle, who has been there before, has gone up to the Penitentiary again for six months. Justice WaUh sentenced hi for that term this morning. Tuttle committed an assault on Eugene Warthy, of 441 Paclflo street, last week, because the latter would not lend him $2.

From such an export trade in domestio produce as should now be regarded as reasonably assured, the industrial and commercial interests of tho country, viewed colleotively, must derive great benefit.

Labor especially must hove a readier and relatively much more remunerative market. And from the more general demand for labor nvuet arise an increased homo consumption at least of tho necessaries of life, which hero include very many items which in other countries are placed on the list of luxuries. The position and prospect of our produce trade are therefore auoh as we have abundant reason to be grateful for. The Parian marble busts of the Rev. Henry Ward Deecher, which Mr.

Edward Ovington has imported from England, were made by Copeland, at Stoke upon Trent, and wore modeled by Mr. James. They are quarter size, standing about fifteen Inches high. They will be sold at retail for $12 each. All who have examined them consider tho likeness excellent, and there is no doubt but that many of the great preaoher's admirers will be glad to possess these busts, which, as ornamental pfeoes of art and faithful likenesses, aro aiiko valuable..
