Yesterday afternoon mnn was arraigned before Justice Riley, charged with assault, his offonso having been to oIa3p a lady around the waiat aud kiss hor. Tbe prisoner Moses Bothkowsky, is a woalthy peddlor, who owns a Btore at No. S93 Grand street, New Vork. Bothkowsky solicited orders and thon filled them, no matter whether tbo order was for a camel's hair shawl or a bunch of common worsted.

Tho defendant, who is tho wifo of 3. H. RiohardBon, an on grovor, doing business at No. 88 Ann stroet, New York, resides at No. 89 Second street, Mr, Richardson Is woll to do, and himself and wlfo move in tho very best soctety, Mrs, Richardson ordered a piece of silk from Bothkowsky, with whom Bhe had often' dealt, and ho called at hor residence on June 14, to dolivor it.

While there, so swears Mrs. RichardBon, tho peddler cm braced and kissed her. At threo o'olock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Richardson, accompanied by her husbaud, entered tbe court room, and Bothkowsky, his brother and daughter, arrived a few minutes later. The gist of Mrs.

Richardson's statement, was that Moses Bothkowsky oallod at her residence on June 14, aud she ushered him Into the front basement. In tho back basement was hor mother, aged eighty, a niece aged eight, and up stairs hor servant was at work. When Bothkowsky, with whom she had business doalingB for a ponoi extondiiig over flvo years, entered, he ehowod her soveral pieces of ailk, from whloh she selcoted a piece measuring fifteen yards, and valued at $75. Mra. Richardson gave the poddler a cigar.

She made arrangonicnts to pay bim for tho Bilk In installments of flvo dollars, to be paid overy fortnight. The woman gave tho man flvo dollars at the tlmo. Ho then asked her if she would send hor mother out and get him some lugor, aud Mrs. Riohardson replied that she nover sent her mother on errands, but that Bhe had aomo wine in the house. Bothkowsky refused to take any wine aud aakod for another cigar.

Mrs. Richardson went to tho closet to got him one. Tho peddler followed her and throwing his arm around the lady's waist, kissed her, She pUBhed him from her and Bothkowsky, becoming frightened, bogged Mrs. Richardson not to tell her husband of his action, and ho said that if the lady would not expose him, that ho would present her with a nice pair of gloves. When the poddlor left Ihe nous0 Mrs.

Richardson told her mother what had occurred but she did not inform her husband of tho affair untl two weeks aftorward. Before' Bothkowsky left tho bouse, the lady told him to take the silk whloh she had purchased, away with htm, but tho peddlor refused to do so. Shortly alter tbo occurrence, Bhe wrote Bothkowsky a note, forbidding him to oaU at her house again. Bothkowsky did call at the house but Sirs. Riohardson refused him admittance.

Then tho peddler visited Mr. Richardson at his ofilce aud DEMANDED THE MONEY DUB or tho pleco at silk; seventy dollars. "How dare you faoe me," oxclnimed Mr. Richardson, "aftor insulting my wifo." Bothkowsky loft the ofilce and soon aftor sued Mr. Riohardson for the amount due and obtained Judgment.

Mr. Richardson satisfied tho judgment and, as Bothkowsky alleges, threatened to mako things warm for tho poddlor. The Judgment against Riohardson was obtaluod on a 11, so claimed the defense, and Mrs. Riohardson took out a warrant for Botbkowsky's arrest ou August 24. The defendant denied al) the plaintiff's allegations, with tbe exooptlon of Mrs, Riohardson giving him a olgar, when he entered hor house and claimed that the plaintiff took out a warrant for tbe pod dlor'e, arrest boeause tho latter auooeeded In winning hla suit against her husband and that It was a oonsplraoy to ruin Bothkowsky.

Abal said tnai their former President, Mr.

N. Bourdy, who was a neighbor of Mr. Dan Bradley, had gone over to the Independent Demoorats and muwuiii urguuizpuvu 01 nis own, wmou numnerea already five members, while the meollugs of the regular German Democratic Club were never attended by less than sixty members. Sir. h.

Suesj remarked that he had absented hlm eelf from the meetings of the Fifth Ward Club for a long time on account of tho former President, whose actions had highly displeased him. If Mr. Kessel said a discussion on this subject was out of place. The club aont in the names of new delegates, and all they could do was either to aooept or rejoot them. On motion of Mr.

August Yollborth the new delegates wore admitted. CHARITIES COMMISSIONER. Captain Abel referred to the faot that the term of Charities Commissioner John Rabor expires In a few months, and tbat it wsb time to look around for a successor. He did not know a man better qualified for and more entitled to that office than Mr. Moses Kessel.

who was favorably known to every one of thorn, and had attended their meetings regularly tor a good many years, while Mr. Raber's face was never seen inside their meeting room. He moved that this Committee recomniond Mr. Kossel aB candidate for tho Coniniie slonorshlp of the Third Distriot. Groat applause.

The motion was at onco seconded. Mr. Franois A. Hartmann, from the Eighth Ward, said thoy could not possibly find a better man than Mr. Kossel.

It was their duty to work for him. ApplauBe.j He offered an amendment that Mr. Kessel be not recommended, but nominated as a oandldate for that office. Mr. Beyer thought that amendment went too far: they ehould advocate tho candidacy of Mr.

Kossel, but not arrogate to themselves tho right of nomination. Hartmann replied tbat the English Bpcaklng General Commilteo ought to listen to their fair demands if not, it should morally bo compelled to make a concession to their wishes and nominato the candidate of their choice. A delegate from the Sixteenth Ward suggested tho propriety of rocommondiug Mr. Kessel for nomination. Thoy could not put him forward as a candidato without the ooDBont of the ward olubs.

Mr. Sobuiidf, from tho Eighth Ward, asked for tho reason why tho beBt portion oi tho Germans nevor took part in ward meetings. If they wero spoken to on this subject they generally replied that they had no desire to cot froo boer, or an appointment as a polling olork or ticket peddler. If thoir Committee would assert Us manhood aud demand a fair show thoy would got a better and sironger representation. The most influential Germans would Join them as soon as aro asBurod that thoy will bo assigned a place other than mere tools.

Mr. Graef said that they could lnf uae new life Into tboir ward mee ingB by discussing tho Important questions of the day, such as tbe labor question. Tbere wore many good speakers anion? them, who oould ablv handle this theme. The President remarked that tho preceding speakers had departed from tbo subjcot before them; Btill, ho agreed witb them on some points, and would be glad to hear somobody express bis views on the labor question at the noxt meeting. Captain Abel said they should not leavo a stone unturned, to secure Mr.

Kessel tho nomination, Ho conBidered it to bo a wiser courso to reconnuond him for that nomination. Mr. Hartmann was not satisfied with that, and insisted that tbey should exercise the right of nomination iu this instance. Thoy sbould turn tho tables and for onoo nominate; a candidate and leave it to the other Gene ral uoumiitteo to luuorso him. Applause Counsolor Gustav Zimmermann spoke in a similar vein.

The amendment of Mr. Hartmann was thon put and carried. On motion of Captain Abel the nomination of Mr, Kessel was made unanimous. Mr. MoBea Kessel expressed his gratitude 'at tho confidence reposed iu him, and said thoro was no doubt in his niiud about his nomination and oleotion, if his friends worked just as they had voted to night.

Ho would never think of running as an independent candidate if he should not rcoeive tbe regular nomination. He was loudly cheered at the close of his remarks. INDOH8ING JAJTE8 HOWELL. After some routine bUBlness bad boon transactod, Mr. Moses Kessel rose again, eulogized Supervisor at Large Jsmos Howell, and moved that this gentleman be recommended to the City Convontion as their oandldate for tbe Mayoralty.

Applause. The President added a few words to the flattering remarks of the preceding speaker, and said that Mr. Howell had made a better use of hie voto powor than Mayor Schroeder. He had always guarded tho Interests of tbe taxpayers, and was emlnontly fit to occupy the Mayor's chair. The motion was carried unanimously.

The meeting then adjourned for a weok. LOOAL POLITICS. Second Ward Aaso elation. The Workingmeu'g Association of the Second Ward beld a meeting last evening at Columbia Hall, in Main street.

M. neither the witness, Tweed, nor the counsel to the Committee, Mr. Hugh L. Cole, put in an appearance. Alderman Lewis.

Chairman, called the Committee to order. Alderman Cowing said he would take this opportunity to plaoe himself correctly on the record, as there seemed to be a misunderstanding In regard to his action on the previous day of the sitting of the Committee. "The object of croeB examination," says Mr. Bouvier and also sir. Greenleaf, two highly respectable authorities in the law upon the subject of evidence, "istolslft evidence and try the credibility of a wit neaa'aBd both of theee authorities say "it Is one of the principal tests wmca ue law nas aevisea lor the ascertainment of truth and also one of the most efficacious." At the last meeting of this Committee I applied this test of cross examination to the witness before us only and solely with the view of ascertaining the trutfi.

I notioo that two of our dry editors differ with these two highly respectable authorities on state its object to be "to suppress the truth and tne faots," and most unfairly ana unjustly, measure my motives by their definition. I may be auppossd to know my motives better than the two olty editors, and I most emphatically declare that no such motive as they attribute to me ever entered my head, but I do, on the contrary, desire that the truth in reference to the subject matter before this Committee may be brought out, let it bit where It may and whom it may. In the JaoonJo words of the late President of the Doited States, for one member of this Committee state, "Let no guilty man escape." un account ox tne mness oi nr. uoie, counsel to the Committee, an adjournment was taken until to morrow at 10 o'clock.

The Indians were in full savage oostume, as heretofore. The President, addressing them through an interpreter, said bo was now ready to hear the chiofs if they wished to speak further.

After a pause SPOTTED TAITj took a seat near the President, and snoko as follows Mr GkeatIUthsb I have coma to your house to dsy with a happy heart. I see you and shako hands with you with a good hoart, I wish to talk to you about businoss. It is a good ways to whore 1 come from. The country I live in oolongs to mo and oolongs to the Government. I have come to find tho best placfl to remain.

Where I live there 1b a good doal of talk about my agency. A lluo has been drawn lrom whore I am, from tile Black Hilis toward tho Big Horn. I don't understand tho line. All I know is that tber aro trylug to frighton us into thiB business. That's the way I came to sign tho paper that 1 did.

(Meaning the agreement of last rail.) They told me at the time that my Great Fai her sent tbo mcu there for the purpose of treating for the country. If so I am willing to treat. They told me a good many points not kept up in tho old treaty should be givou to us In tho now, and said it I I wanted would given, according to their promise They told me then if I Jul not sign they would send mo south, or aoross the MiBSonri Biver. Although I signed without their telliug me exactly what they wanted, I wanted to tell them bow I waB to live after I Bigned the paper, how many eattlo and agricultural implements I was to have and otlior things. That is tho way they treated mo.

I know one thing it is this When a white man owns land be buildB a fence around it, and it is his so long as ho doesn't sell It. That is the way white men live. But your people do not ask questions. YOU TAKE OUil LANDS FBOM US. Before (ho white man camo to us we bad good time in taklug care of our property, but now, as I toll you, wo cannot do It.

Your people mako roads and drive away tho game, and thu? make us poor and starve us. The ind was given to us by tho Great Spirit, who said we could live there, but tho white people are trying to push us out of tho country and where wo can do nothing. You live hero. Tho Great Spirit gave you the land. You stay here with all your pooplo.

That is tho way all natious ought to live. Wheu they have a pioco of land they ought to hold on to it as their own. My great father. I caDnot read or write, but should like to bring my childrou up like the white peoplo. Tho country I live iu Is mine.

I love it. Thia is tho reason why 1 talk as I do. When I saw the Commissioners did not speak to thorn as I speak to yon to day. I novor told them I wanted my provisions transported to the Missouri luvcr, never asiceu tuem to aena my provisions and agency across the Arkansas. Whore I live is the country I was brought up in, and whore I still want to live.

I wish you would have the roads go round us, not disturbing our homes, but leavo us where wo aro. My Great Father, I camo horo to lot you know what my trouble is and I am done.

White Tnll, a Brule, said to the President "Look at me well and remouiber me. What Spotted Tail says my people say." Bed Cloud took a scat by the President, saying: I have been here before and am here again, to see my Great Father. My Groat Father told me to piok a place for my agency. Before I returned there the young men selected the agency. I did not.

I had nothing to do with it. The seoond time tho agonoy wa moved over the White Biver. I did not toll any one to do so. There have been two changes in four years. The agency ought always to bo in one place, and held Btrong.

My people were foolish. I took the white people for rasoals. I do not mean the whito pooiplo bore, but those in my country. As I want to bo civilized, I want to Bclect my own aRoncy. This I let you know to day.

I did what the while people asked me to do, aud with Spotted Tail have kept onr peoplo quiet. We want to live among our own people. I was raisBd in my country and know it well, Tho foot of the Hills is a good place to put my agency. I did not come Itere to beg anything. Tho Black Hills were mine.

I gave them to tho Commissioners. I suppose you aro going to decide what you are going to glvo us for the ills, and 1 have come to get it. I want threo different kinds or wugniB auoh as your people work with; I want to llvo that way; I want plottfl and mowing machines, but will not say for how many workmt! people; I want eattlo every year; I want two mills, one to saw wood and one to grind corn.

Suit to Set Avidia Deed on the Ground Xli at the tirnijtor Was Sulferinir at the Time From Aicoliolikin. In the Equity Term of the Supreme Court, before Justice Pratt, yestorday afternoon, the cause ot Pierre Yan Wyck, an habitual drunkard, by bis committee, Wm.

M. Brashor, against Archibald R. Brasher and Henry D. Oatermoor, to set aside a conveyance, was tried. It is allogod that A.

It. Brasher induced Mr. Van Wyclt to givo tho deed on Juno 21, 1877, by connivance, fraud, imposition and undue influence, and that A. R. in furtherance of a design to got posseBBion of the property No, 148 Livingston street, conveyed it to the ottier defendant Mr.

Ostermoor. It is also alleged that no consideration was given 1n eithor oase. Tho defendants allege that the conveyance was a deed of gift to Archibald B. Brasher, who is Mr. Van Wyck's second cousin.

Tho testimony showed that Mr. Van Wyck at tho time the deed was given and for some time before, was Buffering from the effects of alcohol. Dr. JohnBon, of Clinton street, testified as to his oondition. He was in a very bad way from the use of whisky; a man in tbat state could have his attention attracted to a particular subject and be perfectly rational on It, but he was liable to start aside Into delirium; sometimes ho foared personal violence, Bomotlmes he thought he had snakes in bis boots; from June 18 to June 20, 1877, Van Wyck was incapable of any rational act.

Plaintiff was brought from the Inobiiates' Home to testify. He is a gentleman of means, and impressed all with the conviction that he was a man of honor and oarefoiJy regardful of the truth. He said that he remembered having aont for the lawyer who drew the deed, and knew what be was about. There was no intimation from bim, in his testimony, that any undue influence was used. He had made a will in favor of other members of the family, and, thinking he was going to die, gave the house in which he was then residing to a Mr.

Brasher. There were many other clreuuistancos, however, which occurred abont the time tho deed was givon of which Mr. Yan Wyck had no recollection. He did not remember that Dr. Johnson was in daily attendance on him, from June 15 to June 20, 1877, the day before the deed was executed.

Nor did he remember tbat on June 21, the important day in the case, he went to twice once alone and once with Mr, Brother. It appeared thai Mr. Brasher conveyed the house to the other defendant, Mr, Ostermoor, his father in law, Mr, Brasher swore that Mr. Ostermoor gave him hla check for $9,000, which Mr. Brasher handed to bis wife, who gave It back to her father.

Soon after Mr. Yan Wyck was removed to the Inebriates' Home at nil own desire, Mr. Ostermoor took poeaesslon. Mnoh amuBmont was caused by the testimony of Catharine McGree, Mr. Van Wyok'g servant, who testified that Counselor M.

Cutlen personally ejected the occupants of the house. Mr. Cullen aaid It wa a mistake, but Catharine was positive, laying, 'Deed, I remember you well, air." The trial wis adjourned to enable the production ot other witnesses. For the plaintiffs, E.Q, Nelson, and Asa W. Parker and Horace GraveB, of counsel for the W.

S. Cogswell and E. M. Cullen. HELD FOR THF.

The weekly roport of the counsel showod aB follows Proseoutions 4l Cases disposed of si Caauoled by the Board 8 The following commuuicitlou was road from tho counsel rolative to KDi lioOSTE AND BABTELS OASES, who pctltlonod last week to change the records iu the Rejistrsr's ofilce.

Tho Registrar suggested that tbey ba allowed to do bo, but the matter was reforred by Genoral Jourdan to the counsel, whoso report is as toitows I respeotfully submit that no ohange ought to be made In tho records of this department, at tho suggestion or on the recommendation of any ono uuloss it be to correct a clerical error. As Boon as a certificate of birth, doath or marriage is received by tho Board it becomes a part of the publio record. It may be of great value to many persons beside those named in tho certificate, and ehould not bo changed except upon testimony given under oath and aoted on by a court of competent Jurisdiction. This gives the greatest degree of certainty and throws the responsibility where it belongs. If the suggestion of any interested party can ohango the record once, it is not easy to Bay why It may not be repeated again and again.

To compel a presentation of the matter uader oath to a court having jurisdiction, throws around the proposed ohange many safeguards that are not to be obtained in any other way, A porson giviDg false testimouy would bs liable to punishment as for perjury. Ir a ohange Is made by the Board without tho intervention of the Court, no suoh result follows. In the Licoste aud Bartols case the proposed ohange goei to tho substsuoe of tho record. In tho Lacoste oase it 1b proposed to substitute ono disease for another aa the death cause. How is the Board to know which was tho oauso of death Dr.

Qulnn, in his communication of September 17, 18TT, does not say that Lacoste died, of rheumatism of the hoart, ho only aBks to make a ohange in his certificate. I presume he gives astheina as tbedealh cause. There is not before the Board any testimony that thiB is not untruo. In tbe Baitsls case it appears from the communication of Faator Jones, that Miss Bartcls gave a fnlso statement in the first plaoe. There is no proof that her second statomont is more truthful than the first.

How oao tho Board Judge between tbo two statements oxoept by testimony given under oath? In my oninion the Board has no power to msk toe deslrod change. And I suggest that It la the safest plan in every instanoo, even that ot a olerionl error, to require parties deslrlug to mako such ohange to apply to a court for a proper order. It Is a safe practice, and I think the practice should bo uniform, Sidney Williams, Counsel. Com. Jourdan offered the following Reeoiued, That no ohange be made in the records of the vital statittics of this Department unless tho party or pot eons making application therefor shall first obtain the dirootlon of aoonrtof competent Jurisdiction directing euch ohango, and shalt give at loast two days' previous notice to this Board of auoh proposed application.

Tho resolution was adopted. ABOUT FENCING LOTS. A draft of a now ordinance was presentod by counsel, which wassdoptod. It authorizes the Board to order tho proper fencing in of vaoant lota when they are found to be in a condition dangerous to life and health. Com.

Joutclan, in moving that tho ordinance bo approved, said that tho Board deemod It neoossary for the preservation of tbe publio health, and that tho Secretary be directed to forward the draft to the Common Council requesting their approval of tho same.

The following communication was rocoived from the Sanitary Superintendent To H. A. La Fttra, Secretary: Sin It has long boon a recognize! faot that contagious diseases aro propagated in the schools, and tbat this evil may be diminished I would respectfully reoomniond: That in order to provont the spread of contagious uiaua.cn onmvai" uuuimiuuuBUl U0 UITOOIOU tO Bend a list of porsous Blck with scarlatina, dlphthoria or smallpox to the principals of the publio sohools dBily, and to notiiy tho families of those slok with contagious disoaacs, that during tho period of liability to the spread of those diseases, the children of such familios should not bo allowed to ottond schools.

Also that a oiroular similar to the followiog be adopted aud distributed: To Mr. You aro required to keep your ohlldren from school during tho time from the oammonoemont of tho disease until the sick person has passed tho stage of desquamation (pooling off of the skin) in measles ond scarlet fever; and of deasioation (pooling off of the soalos) in varioloid or variola (smallpox); and in diphtheria until the physician states that tbo siok perscn is free from the disease. Nono of the ohlldren should return tq school until the room ocoupied by tho slok person and his clothing have been dleinfooted. If it is desired an officer will be Bent by tbis department to carry out this disinfection. Respoctfully submitted.

J. H. Raymond, Sanitary Supcrintoudont. Com. Jourdan moved that the suggestions of the Sanitary Superintendent be adopted and enforced, and that the Seoretary be authorized to proouro the neoes eary blanks therefor.

Carried. kalbfleisch's CHEMICAL WORKS. The following was reoeived from Inspector Mc Corkie "In regard to the petition of Peter 8ohneidor and others, concerning the gases emanating from tho ohemical works of Kalbfleisch's Sons, I beg leave to BUbmit the following roport After a oareful examination of the premises referred to in tho petition I am lod to bellero tbat tbe gases given off and allowed to escape in the manufaoturo of the various chemicals by this firm are unwholoBomo, offensive and deleterious and that the same should be abated in the interest of tho publio health. In a conversation with the chemist of this firm, In tho presence of the Secretary of the Board, he stated that the escapo of gasos could bB controlled, and that he was willing to undertako the same in the interests of the pooplo. I regret to ssy that no answers have as yet been received from letters of lDqulry Bent to tho following parties: Professor Loibeg, of the Potasses Chemloal Manufacturing Company, and to the various manufacturers of chemioals in Charleston, 8.

Thursby, a member of tho firm, was present be foro tbe Board and said the gases could be partially controlled, but not entlroly. If they were compelled to prevent the escape of these gases entirely, the effeot would be that they would be driven out of the olty Ths Interests Involved are very large, many thousands of dollars of ospital Ib invested in the business and hundreds of people Urtng in that rlolnlly were given employment He believed that tho gases escaping did mors to promote the health of that neighborhood by destroying the noxiouB and poisonous vapors arising from the creek and marshes, than they did harm. Nevertheless, as the people in the neighborhood had made their complaints iu the nature of a persecution, the firm bad resolved to extend their works no further, but as soon as they could remove them to New Jersey.

Crane said tbst the Board would leave the matter in abeyance for thirty days, during which time MesBrs. Kalbfleisch 80ns would be expected to control tho escape of these gases as much ss possible. The Secretary was alio directed to correspond with the Boards of Health of Charleston and Baltimore, in which cities tbere are large ohomical works, and ascertain what modes, If any, were used to pi event the escape of these odors and gases. Registrar Stuart reported that his yearly reports for 1878 and 1876 were ready. Com.

Jourdan moved that the Secretary be instructed to consolidate the two reports and prepare them for publication. Adopted. The Registrar said that the records of births were behind one year, and that tbere were between 8,000 and 9,000 reports to be written up. He recommended that Mr. Page be employed at night to write them up.

Jotndan moved that the report ba referred to the Board or City Works, with a request that the streets named be cleaned forthwith, and with the statement that the publio health requires that the condition of the contract shall be rigidly enforced.

Adopted BESIEGED IU HIS OWN HOUSE. Night before last a dispute between James Pcndftfton and Henry C. Fisher, at the residence of tho latter, No. 172 Richardson street, culminated in an assault upon Fisher, who was driven into his bouse by Pendleton. Not content with having forced Fisher to retreat from the scene of conflict, Pendleton hurled paring stones through the windows ot the house, breaking seven lights of glass and striking one of the occupants with a missile.

Another man aided in the attack and cannot now be found. Court Officer Duffy last night locked up Pendleton at the Btigg street Station, to be arraigned before JusUoa Quok to day. A hearing of the cast has been postponed till Tuesday next 1 A Record of the Republican Convention. A Dismal Prospect for the Party Conk ling's Assault on Curtis Ovcrshadowine All Other Interests The Part Played by the Kings County Men Their Insignificance Painfully Disclosed. CorresporiBenoe of the Eagle.

Boohebteb, 'September 37, 1877 Evening. The Convention, which closed its labors here to day, demonstrated two important faots The one, that Roacoe Conkling still retains his great hold on tbe Republican party of the State of Now York the other, that there la nothing now in the way of the Democraoy electing their State tioket this Fall by an overwhelming majority. Even Republicans themsolves concede the latter faot and predict that hereafter there will be two fsotlons of their party in the State, led respectively by Mr. Conkling and Mr. Curtis.

Conkllng's programme to capture the Convention was excellently earrled out, and wheu he took blB seat thore on Wednesday morning ho was master of the situation completely. Ho had decided to maintain a policy of silence' as far as tbe indorsement of the Administration was conoerned aa long aa it was possible to do so, throwing tbe responsibility of ruiBing an issue in the Convention upon bis opponent. Mr. Curtis oame hero to raise that issue aud as soon as he arrived It bocajflo kpown (list HE front. Mr.

Conkling prepared for it. The two met for the" first time an equal footing as regards the opportunities speoob, and the Senator took occasion to say majojr Qdngs Wljjclj bJias been burning to utter for over a yoar. H1b afigor was plain, and the manner Jg whlchr he went for Curtis, amj (be charioteers" of the party whose "rancid and flatulent self righteousness" had excited his wrath and ooutempt, made one thfnk that it wss a Domocraiio Convention assembled to denouuoe its political opponents rather than a representative gathering of Republicans, convened to nominate a ticket for State offlpars. The main objeot of toe Convention Beemed to be losTslght of In tho bitter quarrel between Mr. Conkling, as the leader on oneaide, and Mr, Curtis on the other.

Up to the session of tho Convention ot lost evening, nothing was talked of in the hotel lobbies and barrooms and on tbe street corners but the differences between these two distinguished gentlemen, and the probability of an outbreak during the proceedings. No one had much to say about nominations, No one 0.9UI4 be (oiipd to ao copt. JherVwis an almost universal foeunj aBofig the delegates that the party had no ohanoe of success this Fall, and tbey took no Interest in the selection of a ticket whloh would be doomed to defeat. THE BEOOKLYN DELEOATION. There has been no oonventlon ot either party In this State for the past ten years where the representatives of Brooklyn hare had so little say as they did in tbe gathering here this year.

Beyond a brlof Administration speech from Eauffman, a ridiculous attempt at fine talk from an amusing gentleman named Stoddard and a couple of motions from Frank Fisher just before adjournment, tbe Brooklyn men were heard only in the roll call and not always then. Yesterday morning but few of them put in an appearanoe at the Hall. Thoy were either gallivanting about town seeing the sights, or had left the olty, some for home and others for different points ot Interest. They had got all they wanted of the Convention. Thoy had heard Conkling and Curtis and that was enough.

The way In which the Brooktyn men wore SNUBBED in the matter of tho Committees allowed that tho managers must havo token little stock in them. Mr. Ilonry was tho only one on the Committees, being on Credentials. Pompous Poter Oetrander was one of tbo Vice Presidents, these uselose appendages of tho Convention, whose solo duty was to take back Boats on the stage and look wise while tho great chiefs ontored tho debate. Outside of tho Convontion tho Brooklyn men were more active.

Tho contost in the Ninth Assombly District excited much interest among them. It was put up from ihe first, however, that the Fisher men wero to be alruittod. Daguott and Fisher fliod tunt with Cornell. Frank had not been In the OBborn Houeo. the headquarters of the flvo minutes before ho bad buttonholed Cornell, aud givon him his version of tho dispute.

Daggett, who had eome up tho night before, had postod Cornell, and It was agrood that THE BOLTEBS were to have soats. Tbey wero all known to be Conk liui men, while the others were Administration, and that was one secret of their success. Daggett also wanted to go on tho State Committee, aud he knew that the admission of the bolters would secure him; 60 he played that string with Cornell, who really is very friendly with him and wantod to havo him on tho Committee. Dave Williams' success was complete Godard and his lriends in Brooklyn bad been talking a good deal about defeating Williams and securing tho place for Godard; but whoa the delegates, who bad tho naming of tho member from the Fourth Congressional District, mot, Charloy'a name was nut ovon mentioned. Had tho Hull delegation from tho Ninth Assembly District boon admitted.

Mr. Godard's uamewould probably have been presonted but ho never had any show of suocess. Hon. Jacob Worth had been spoken of considerably in connection with the appointment, and when ho had all tho dologatoa for the Sixth Assembly District from tbo Sixteenth Ward it was thought that he was going for the place in earnest. The story is that he gavo Dave Williams tbo delegates and worked for him, with the understanding that Dave is not now to bo a candidate for the Presidency of tho Department of Fire and Buildings, Thfl nppomtment of JOHN F.

HENRY in the place of Mr. Dutcher brings the former gentleman more to the front in the Republloan politics ot the State and uounty. Mr. Henry has been very anxious to become a State Committeeman, and with the assistance of Mr. Dutcher and hla energetio friend, George Thomas, worked his oase up very well.

He had no opposition of consequence, and his appointment seems to give general satisfaction among his friends. The possibility of his being a candidate for Mayor somewhat exeroised R. Cornell White, who appeared to think tbat he should not, on tbat account be on the State Committee. Mr. White and several others voted for Lorin Palmer, but subsequently voted to make Mr, Henry's appointment unanimous.

Mr, Am merman Bald that Mr, Palmer was not a candidate for the place, and the faot is that his name was hardly mentioned hero previous to the selection of Mr, Henry. There has been some talk among a portion of the Western District men over the impropriety of again putting two Eastern Distriot men on the State Committee Messrs. Daggett aud Williams. Somo of them say that W. W.

Goodrich managed it so that tho Seventh and Twentieth Ward men should vote for Daggett and that in return Daggett would this Fall work for Goodrich for the nomination for the Senate. By the way QOODEIOH must have felt a little qucerly, to say the least, when Conkling referrod to the fact tbat thero wero delegates in tbe Convention, Administration men, who had run for office upon the Democratic tioket and who now criticised him for the position ho had taken. Tho Brooklyn mon think It was a ehot at Goodrich, who was tho Democratic nominee for Congress against Stewart Woodford several years ago. At that time Goodrich was loud In denunciation of Republicans, but now we find him right among the elect of RepubbcanB and a seeker after office at their hands. One of the amuBing incidents of the Convention was the appoarrnoe of Mr.

Stoddard as an orator and defender of the Administration. The great guns in the Convention had been beard, and all hands wore Impatient to hear tho speech of the evening by Senator Conkling, when up jumped Stoddard to have his say. No one outside of the Brooklyn men ever beard of Stoddard, and only a few of them knew him, but that was nothing to Stoddard, Ho tripped up to tho little platform arranged for speakers, directly in front of the Chairman's desk, and began his speech. He had secured the attention of the Convention for a few moments, when suddenly there was a great outburst of applause. The crowd wanted to choke him off.

He must have accepted the demonstration as a mark of approval, as he continued to talk, and was just warming up when another round of applause at a most inappropriate Juncture greeted him. He then took what the "boys" call a quiet little tumble, and slid off io his seat. That was the hist of Brooklyn oratory that night. YOTJNO MADDOX. The Convontion was the occasion of the Introduction to active political life of a young gentleman of Brooklyn, whose father was for years prominent In the affairs of the Republican party of the County of Kings and through the Slate.

Mr, Samuel T. Maddox, was a delegate from the Seventh Assembly District. This wss his first appearance at a State Convention, He is a lawyer by profession, and Is one of the recent entries tnitb.e Republican politics of tbo county. He is as ardent a Republican as his father was, and personally resembles him very much. He Is shrewd and energetic, and quick to see a point, and gives promise of becoming as active, if not as smart and successful, a politician as his father.

He has a great deal yet to learn, but with Buoh tutors aa Al." Daggett and Frank Fisher he will make rapid progress. 8. B. Dutcher has been here during the Convention, frequently cloeeted with Conkling and Cornell. Ex Alderman Bob Hill was subsltuted as a delegate for one of the Ninth District "Bolters" who did not appear.

Fisher took the place of another delegate and hie presence increased THE DISMALITT ofhe concluding proceedings of the Convention. You would think ho was making arrangements for a fune 1 ral rather than for future aotlon of the State Committee when he offered his little motions in tbe closing session this morning. Bat then everybody felt gloomy. The nominations went begging, and it really looked at one time as if the Convention could not mako up a ticket. It is doubtful whether all the nominees will aooopt, Hamilton Fish, could have been nominated for Secretary of State bad he 10 desired but he did not.

He said to me this afternoon that he was very glad his name had not been presented, intimating that he believed he would be defeated. The ticket is generally regarded as a very weak one, but tbe Convention oould not do otherwise when none of the more prominent men of thi party were willing to be on It. Moat of the Brooklyn men left for home on the afternoon trims. Senator Conkling left on the train whloh arrived at Ctiea at 0:15 P. If, Sheriff Daggett was to stop off at Albany.

Charley Cheshire, Who attended the Convention as a spectator, went to Ilion. The others went through and will arrive in New York to morrow morning. W. W. BURGLARS FBUSTBATBD.

Abont (The o'clock this morning Officer Lewis discivered two snipldous charactsrs loitering about the dry goods store of Jacob Fstacher, at No. 130 Ewen street. At the approach of the officer both men fled and succeeded in eluding their pursuer. Later, upon retaining to the locality of the store, it was found that the hall door of the building had been opened and evidences were not wanting to indicate the purpose of the men. In the yard a powerful double action screw Jack, used for foroing off iron bars or other methods of protection to windows, was found on the ledge of one of the store windows.

This instrument had not been used, the reason, probably, being that the men de rerrea operating until tney ooum uo reiuui, uc. tain trior wnnM not ho Interfered With.

Court House, County, and SUllTol New York, on the lath dar of November noxt, at ten o'clock A. then and there to attend ths final Mttlsmnnt ni tba aooount ol named Colin 1 A Talk With the Mayor on the Political Situation. Poor Prospects for the Republicans la the City and State How the Politicians Yicw Schroeder's Withdrawal from the Field The Candidates Mentioned for His Place Mr. Ripley Ropes' Position The Hamilton Avenue Sewer The Jourdan Investigation, etc. The attention of.

the local politicians was divided to day between the Mayoralty conteBt and the approaohlng Demooratio State Convention, Mayor Schroeder's announcement tbat he has determined not to be a candidate for re olectlon was the uppermost topic There was much speeulation as to his motives, but whatovor the differences on that point were, tho wise men of both parlies were agreed In the opinion that his courso was the most sensible tbat be could purBue. Tho leaders of tho minority party are all of the opinion that thoy aro to be defeated in the olty and county iotorosts. as they will be in the State fight. If anything were needed to darken the dreary outlook which confronts them in the locol struggle the disgraceful exhibition at Syracuse haB answered the purpose, and they are now assured that they can do no more in the home canvasB than mako a showing of opposition. Somo of the politicians about tho City Hall, among whom are eevoral Republioane, aBBert that tho Mayor's letter of deolination is ONLY A BLIND, and that he Intends to agaiu be a candidate.

They say that he iB tho uuanimous choloo of the 9 united demand wiU bo made upon him or the use of his name, and that he cannot afford to decline. These expressions, however, come ehiofly from officeholders and former officeholders and appoar to havo very little weight. The probabilities are that for once the Mayor is in earnoBt, aud that he will persist in bis dotorml nntion to withdraw from official Ufa and trom any candidacy for public position tbiB year. Even his opponents credit him with a perception keen enough to aeo tbat certalu defeat awaits the local Bopublican ticket this year, anu hut declination is generally attributed to that fact. Meanwhile the Republicans aro all at sea regarding their Mayoralty candidate.

Thero li no doubt that Schroodcr could be a candidate if ho desirod but it is doubtful whether the Convention would have the hardihood to nominate him in faoe or his refusal to stand. He now says that oven if he should rooeive a unanimous nomination he would not accept, MR. hope's position. The only really strong candidate now mentioned on the Bepublioan side Is ex Aldeiman Ripley Ropes. There is no doubt in the minds of the leaders of both partios that he would poll the full Republican vote and also.

draw considerable ouUlde strength. The respeot able element regard Mr. Ropes as their only hopo of presenting a decent front to thoir antagonists, and they will make a strong effort to eeoure his nomination. An Eaqxjs reporter conversed with Mr. Ropes tbiB morning and endeavored to obtain from him some expression of opinion on tho subject of the Mayoralty, He was exceedingly reticent, but intimated very clearly that ho was averse to accepting a nomination for any political position.

Nevertheless he would not any that be would deeline. Mr. Ropos said that he was busily occupied in his position as a member of the State Board of Charities in an effort to lift tho pucllo charities out of the slough Into which they have faltOD. "If the good people of lliugs County," said Mr. Ropes, "will aid mo in this work, thoy will derive more benefit from my labors than thoy could if I were in any other position, and as far as I am concerned, personalty, I will dad it much more satisfactory than the Mayoralty or anything olso." It is bolioved that Mr.

Ropes could bo iuducod to accept if he should receive a unanimous nomination. There ia yot somo doubt as to the position of John F. Henry, in the canvass. Somo of his friends assert that under no circumstances will he accept, while others claim tbnt ho will consent to stand if tho party so dcBires. He 1b regarded by tho politicians as a man who can poll his party voto and no more, Darwin R.

and Suporvisor Pholps, of tho Twenty first Ward, aro still talked of in a limited circle. Thoy havo as yet developed no particular strength outside of their own ward, but either may be picked up as an emorgenoy candidate. A movement in on foot iu the Eastern District to bring forward Mr. Charles H. Follows, who was nominated iu HTJ, aud declined.

It is likely that Mr. Fellows would decline this year aB he did four years ago. Thore ia a rumor that on effort will be made by certain influential Republicans tu bring forward AN INDEPENDENT DEMOOKATIO CANDIDATE for Mayor and endeavor to secure his indorsement by the Republican City Convention. General Slocum's name has been mentioned in connectiou with tho echeme and boa also been coupled with the regular Democratic nomination. When questioned on the subject to day the General said that there was no truth in the rumor, bo far as ho was concorned, and that under no circumstances would he consent to be a caudidate for Mayor.

No new candidateB havo yet appcarad on the Democratic Bide. The namos of Supervisor at Large Howell, Alderman Black and ex Alderman Rodman, are all montloned. Mr, Howoll la making au active cam ass in his own behalf. THE DEMOCRATIC AS8EMBLY CONVENTIONS. The Demooratio Assembly District Conventions will be held thia evening.

The utmost harmony is expected, and a strong delegation will be oboaen to the State Convention and Judiciary Convention. It is thought that there will be no opposition to Pratt in the Judiciary Convention. Dan Bradley's shadow party also hold their conventions this evening. TIIE JOURDA.N INVESTIGATION. The Jourdau Investigating Committee have not yet compioted their report.

One or two of the Aldermen are anxiouB that the report should be presented at the next meeting of the Board, but Jourdan's friends, who constitute a majority of the Committee, will probably postpone the whitewashing process until after oleotion. THE MAXOB ON LOCAL AND STATE POLITICS. Since the announoemont has been made that Mayor Schroeder will not be a candidate for re election, the Sphinx like attitude which his Honor has long preserved toward the represontitives of the press baa changed for tho better, and he is now affable and communicative. The Mayor received an Eaolb reporter with a pleasant smile this morning. Regarding his approaching retirement from official life, ho did not desire to add anything to his lotter of yestorday.

Ho thought that at present there was nothing more for him to say about bimsolf, but he cheerfully accorded the writer an Interview regarding tho political prospects of his party. Tho converaation was substantially as follows Roporter Now that you hive retired from the field, Mr. Mayor, who, in your opinion, will bo tho Republican candidate for Mayor 7 Mayor Schroeder I have no information on the subject further than you have already published, it ia difficult at preeent to tell who will be the candidate. Reporter Do you think the Republicans have any chance of eleoting their city tickot thia Fall? Mayor Schroeder I believe they havo a very fair prospect. That of course, depends upon the aotlon of their opponents.

The faot that the Damoorats aro in a dear majority on a straight party issue is generally recognized. Reportor How then can the Republicans hope to win? Mayor Sohroeder With the assistance of men of independent views and Democrats who aro dissatisfied with their party management. For severcl years past enough Democrats have voted our looal ticket to bring it within one or two thousand of success. Our only way to succoed now is to tako advantage of tho present breach in the ranks of our opponents, storm their fortifications and capture twelve hundred or two thousand more votes. Reporter You admit tbat thero is no possibility of electing a Btralght, radical Republican as Mayor thia Fall? Mayor Sohroeder I don't think thot a Radlcol Republican can be elected.

The Republicans will have to take up an Independent man or a Republican who, if elected will recognize tho faot tbat he was not chosen to tho place entirely by Republican votes. Reporter You cannot name the man who will head the Republican olty tioket 7 Mayor Sohroeder No; it may be a Republican and it may bo a Democrat. Reportor Wtiat do you think of tho fiatco in the Republican State Convention at Rochoster Mayor Schroedor These people made a groat mistake. They have driven a great many nails In their own coffin. Reporter The prospect of a Republican victory in I tho State does not appear very promising to you, then? Mayor Schroeder It seems that the Conk ling men want to beat the ticket which was nominated in order to express their disapproval of the Administration; the anti Conkling men want to boat it for the purpose of condemning the action of the Senator in the Convention, and between them both I think thoy will succeed in boating it pretty badly.

Reporter Will the action of the State Convention hamper the Republicans in the local oampalgn Mayor Schroeder Not in my opinion. The party may bo'BUceeisful here through divisions in the ranks of the Democrats. There are enough independent Demoorats in the city to beat the regular Demooratio candidate if a proper candidate ia presented. Reporter Is it true tbat John F. Henry, like yourself, has declined to be a oandldate for the Mayoralty nomination Mayor Schroeder I am not informed on that subject, but I billeve that Mr.

Henry has sufficient patriotism to induce him to run if it is the desire of the party that he should be nominated. The Mayor here resumed his letter writing and the Interview terminated. THE HAMILTON A YEN HE SEWEB. Chief Engineer Van Buren, at a meeting of the Board of City Works this morning, presented a report on the condition of the Hamilton avenne sewer. No action was taken on the report, owing to the laok of funds at the disposal of the Board for the purpose.

The report is as follows Bboobxyk, September 13, 1877. To ihe Board of City Work: Gintleubm Agri cable to your request, I beg to submit the following report upon the oondition of the Hamilton avenue main sewer: The main and laterals of this district were constructed about twenty five yean ago. The work was bad); done and the grades fixed too low to. afford proper drainage. 1 have had a oaref at examination made of the mam bowk, and find that the sewer la crumbling to pleoeB.

There are many places In a dangerous condition, and wa have frequently been called noon to repair settlements etong the line of said (ewer. The wooden trunk in Ferry pUoe has roted away, and should be replaced with a brick sevw the brick sewer tn Hamilton avenne, from the ferry to Columbia street, should be reouilt and the grade line raised near the outlet; the lateral sewer in Ssckett street mnst be raised for about 200 feet east of Ferry place, so aa to bring the sewer up to as high an elevation as the outlet the outlet trunk sewer may hare to be repaired and some slight change made in its dimensions. It is unsafe to leave the Hamilton avenue sewer in its present oondition, and I would urge that Immediate eteps be taken toward rebuilding the sewer above named. It ia impossible to Bay how much of the old sewer can be utilized until wo dig down. In a former report upon the sewer I aid not contemplate the rebtilldlng of Saekett street or the change of the sewer In Ferry place.

I find that these changes are now necessary, and in estimating have considered that nearly all will hare to be rebuilt. Estimated coat 12,000. Respectfully submitted, Roeist Yak Bum, Chief Engineer. FRIDAY EVEXLVG. SEPTEMBER 28, 1877.

COMPLAINT DISMISSED. What a Dentist Had to Say About a Music Hall.

M. Brown, dentist, and another resident of Fulton street yestorday sent a oommunicatiou to the Board of Police, complaining ot promisos No. 450 Fulton street, a musio hall, kept by MesBrs. Boyan Spiers. The communication alleged that tho place was a resort of a low class of people, who "made night hideous witb their howls," and that several fights had occurred in front of their plaoe on Fulton etreo'.

Commissioner Pyburn reoeived the communication, and was about to refer It to the First Precinct for Captain to report on the matter, when Colonel BriggB, of the Excise happened to hear of it, and he served a notice on Messrs, Boyan Spior to present themselves this morning before the Board. Mr. Briggs knew the gentlemen, and took it upon himself to state to the Board that ho kept a most respectable plaoe, and tbat he was satisfied that the complaint was a projudloed and untruthful one, The faots are that a Swede used to keep the place, and opened it as a sort of music hall. It la near Hoyt street. The gentleman, however, did not make a satisfactory suocess of his venture.

Messrs. Boyan ft Spier, who both hail from Albion's shores, ooncolved the Idea of turning it into a private rousUal hall, and they bought the plaoe with that objoct in view. No professionals wore allowed to appear, that Is to sing oomio songs, but the plaoe became a re Bort tor well known gentlemen of known standing in Brooklyn, who assombled for the pur poBO of listening and taking part in Id English gleea and quartets. Such men as Mr. C.

H. Turner, from Gilmore's Garden, and other singers with a reputation equally well established, have lent their aid to reuder the musical entertainment an attractive one. Well known amateur singers of Brooklyn aro in the habit of 'frequenting the hall and singing there. The very thing that Messrs. Boyan it Spier have aimed at is to make their plaoe a select one.

They never toadied to that olass of people which the popular songs of the day would attract to their naU. These faots were fully stated before the Board this morning, and the truth of the assertions was vouched for by the men who have been on that post, and who state that no trouble ever occurred. Also by the detectives who have frequented the place, and who teatlfied to the character and standing of the patrons of the place. Mr. Oliver Cotter also lent his testimony to the fact that their hall was conducted in an excellent manner, patronized by a highly respectable class and by people who desired to listen to good musio.

He had always found Messrs. Boyan Spier particularly strict with regard to the observance of the Excise law. General Jourdan ana Commissioner Pyburn listened to the explanation, and were fully satisfied with the testimony adduoed in behalf of the proprietors. The complaint was dismissed.

Mr. Towns thought that Aid. Reardon did not represent the people of the Fourteenth Ward when he voted for the confirmation of General Jourdan, the worst enemy or the Democratic party in Kings County.
