Thousands of men meet with disappointments who never handled a deadly weapon. We still adhere to the old fashioned tradition of love lorn suicide, whioh loads the disappointed lover to make away with himself first because it gratifies his wish, removes a blockhead and prevents his doing harm to others. The amended prao tice is faulty. Society should see to it that the man who kills a woman and then attempts to kill himself shall very shortly moot with success. If his pistol hangs fire or inflicts no serious wound, the gallows should be resorted to as au unfailing remedy.

Among the communications submitted to the Aldermen yesterday was one from the United States Electric Lighting Company, proposing to furnish tho Court House, the Municipal Building aud the City Hall with apparatus for producing the electric light, at a cost of 200. In viow of the faot that the last oxporimont in patent illumination has rosultod in a total loss to the public of about 110,000, it is not probable that this offer will be accepted. It is not many weeks since tho patent gas ninohiues which tho Aldermen and tho Supervisors purchased, two yoars ago, for tho Municipal Building, the Court House and the Jail were declared worse than worthless. This lesson will suffice for some time to come. After the electric light has approved itself in common use, and not until then, it will be in order to provide for its introduction to the public buildings.

Application was also made by three gentlemen for permission to lay pipes for the intro oi.uuibhou. "uot out ior me meter," shrieked a man in the centre of tho hall.

itt tttnun nrAtit int A Good Vase Spoiled It)' a Klmtileriug' Advocate Sonator Butler, of South Carolina, contrived yostovduy. in his place iu the Semite, to spoil a very good case for his State and section by bad management and by a display of very bad temper. The late 1'residentml eon test turned largely on what i.s termed the "sec tional issue. In preparing for il and iu working up to if, ths Republicans hud accumulated a large stock of "outrages nt the ''South," which thoy turned to account during the canvass. If the partisan orators aud ik'ws papors were to credited, the colored people of South Carolina and Minsit sippi especially, liad been for years subjseted to gross outrages, and it was sought to bo shown that the chief industry of the whites in both States was in hanging and maltreating the negroea, who constitute the great body of th laboring population.

Logically, it would follow from this condition of affairs, that South Carolina and Mississippi were going back in population and wealth, for there is no thrift where there is dUordor. aud sinoe locomotiou is one of the rights which it is now impossible for the white people to deny to th colored folks, it was nof to be assumed that the latter class would remain where thoy were being harassed, oppressed and outraged. What would be true of the two States named would bo equally true of all the Southern States, to the extent of the wrongs suffered iu each nnd all of them by tho oolored people at the hands of the whites. "While ths Presidential campaign was at fever heat, the preliminary Mr. Daggott, who said he had a couple of resolutions to offer whioh ho thought would not meet with any ii was luiioweu by a racket that could have been heard Sneak Tbtevck.

According to the "modern major general" of the "Pirates of Penzance," an opera that has muoh keen wit to recommend it "it is sometimes a useful thing to be an orphan boy." It hos been proved so by the simplest of professional sneak thieves. A young man was taken into custody yesterday who had illustrated the utility of his paroutless condition by calling at the houses of the wealthy in the absence of the gentlomen and sending noteB to the lady of the house, soliciting alms and employment. While the servant was employed in taking the note to the head of tho house the orphan boy would appropriate Ho then offered a motion that th fon nt num several uiocRs away, "stay here, stalwarts," rang out a voice in tbo darituoes. "Keep your Boats, urged anothor voice. "Don't let a man leave," said a third parson.

Whilo the room was in darkness some bers of tho committee for the present year be fixed at Tory iiuoer luciaoiitB occurred. Mr. Daggett was lean. Mr. Maddox moved to amond by fixing tho eeB at $10.

Dagaett's chiu with him. Mr. Daggott heels were elevated, his head was Inverted, and he went down on the floor with a crash. Several of tho "boys" armed themsolvcs with stools and prepared for any onlaught that might be made upon wivuHiuK nuuuou organization. Mr.

Tho meeting room is on the top floor of the building. The hall, which is ordinarily usod for dancing purposes, is spacious and handsomely frosooed, so that if a pleaiant rcriezvoutif ould have cooled the auger of the fiery delegates they would have been as meek as lambs. If the place had, however, been named Discord Hall, tho appellation would have been more appropriate. The soenea enacted during ths meeting were of tho most exolting character, surpassing anything ever before seen in the committee not excepting the fomouB bout, oome years boforo, between Jacob Worth and Charley Morton. PREPARING FOR THE FRA.Y.

The Conkling men in the commutes, who are undoubtedly in the majority, tired of Mr. Daggett's obstructive methods at the last meeting, aud yesterday they rallied all the men within reach of their notification to be present. It was Agreed that acoordlng to the Assembly rules, uudor which the committee were acting, seventy delezates, or a majority of all those elected to the committee, would be necessary to. constitute a quorum in order to transact any business. The Conkling leaders were confident beforo the meeting that they would havo a sufficient number of votes, and tho event proved that they were right.

Previous to the moeting of tho committee the supporters of ex Sheriff Albert Daggett, who are opposed to Senator Conkling, hold a conference in Everett Hall and mapped out a ductiou of a steam heating system throughout the city. The applicants offer to give bonds iu the sum of SO.OOO to put the streets iu good order after the pipes shall have boon laid, Otliur Side. A meeting of the Ninth Ward Land League was onnouncod for last evening, at the wigwam on Putnam aud Classon avenues. Mib. Stewart i'arueU waa announced to speak, but at half past eight she bad not arrived.

About 150 pontons were by this timo in tho wigwam, and Supervisor Murphy sold that a carriage had been sent for Mrs. Farnoll and she waa expected soon. Ha Introduced Mr. Kimball, who made a brief speech. General Grant toid Mr.

Kimball the Yaukeo was tricky as a soldier, the Western man lacked elan, but on the Irishman as a soldier he could always rely. What the Irish waoted was a loader and tho speaker thought they had got it iu Parnell. There hu stood at the head of the Irish foroos, all waiting for the word "go. Mr. Kimball the telegram about the Iiijh paying their rente, and said tho coercion bill wan already discounted ail over Ireland.

Mr. Kimball called 1 luglr.nd nation of gasconaders, with mutton chop whitkora and lack of integrity more bags of wind, getting drunk as a lord and Insulting ladies on the cars. Tho EngiiHh people were in the minority in the vote of the nation, notwithstanding the Seio York Ileralil nnd other papers, poid by Drexel, Morgan Co. to cry down the Irish people. They wonted some Parnellism on this side.

Our communists, our socialists, our nihilists, who grow so bitter over the wrongs of labor, forgot that the first thing was to govern themselves. If God gave to Parnell greater forbearauce than his predecessors ia getting Irish and American aud French liberty, tho reBult would bs tremendous, Mr, Kimball CONDEMNED GAMBETTA and said thoy must avoid an end that was bloody. Mr Parnell wbb going to gain liberty for Ireland without tho shedding of blood. Thank God, in Iroland the clergy were with the poople. Pity it was not so In this country during the late war.

Old Ulster wasu't with them, but UlBter was always a copperhead. Mr. Kimball described the Lord JesuB Christ as a communist, without a foot of land. The light was free tho air was free, ond the land must be free. Mr.

Klrnbaii garu his views on tho Lord's Prayer, aud field itwuscouuuunisin. Mr. Murnhy read a teleuram. announcing that Mrs. A FREE FIGHT, Within two minutan fi, ana was turned oft to wit: Messrs.

Linton, Wheeler and Subs, wero pies! ent at ono or other of our meetings, and neither of thorn was offered to be examined. Second. Two of the inspectors, Messrs. Wheeler and alter, were present at one meeting, but neither of them were examined or offered for examination. Mr Linton, in ono of his arguments, Btated that Mr.

Walters was in his employ. On the committee Bending for him to come into the room where they wero in session aud on his appearing, Mr, Linton told him aloud in on gaiety, uo was transformed, The envoy of the Saengerbund addressed the Prince with an air of profound ruBpect, and requested him not to kcop the assembled merrymakers waiting. He did not. Descending from his airy porch, the Prince escorted the envoy, who was a graooful young woman, to tho floor of the ballroom, and tho festivities opened with a grand polonaise, preceded by the floor committee costumed as pages of tho time of Richard III. aud the Lobby Committee, as Knights of George III.

Theyecone ot the opoulug of tho ball was exceedingly picturesque. Hlch costumes, illuminated by brilliant lights, and an ologontly attired throng of onlookers, served to moke up a perfect picture. The dancing mueio woa rurnisued by Papst's band, ond the promenade was marched to tho music of tho Twenty third Begimont Band. Over the proscenium aroh blazod in gas jots the word Saougerbmid," and excellent decorations woro furnished by Mr. Frederiok Aldrldgo.

By 12 o'olocli the ball was in full progress, with about twouty fivo hundred guoats in attendance, nnd the festival was oontiuued until au early hour of the morning. THE (lEHMAN PECULIARITY of introducing tho comic oiement was curiously illustrated from timo to time in tho course of the tvoning by gymnatio exercises by the Excelsior Athletic Club, of New York. A company of clowns, a dozen or moro in number, attired in the traditional style that George Fox has made so familiar, piled themselves up in several pyramids, and oamo down safely; several self socrificing mortals permitted thomsolves to be tossed hilariously in blanket in the centre of the dancing floor, and at 2 o'clock a burlesque bond made tho round of the hall, with penny whistles for trumpets, wash tubs for drums, and divers other appliances which produced a din. At midnight, when the floor waB ocoupied by the dancers, and before anybody had thought of going away, tho spectacle was Tory striking, and the merriment was kopt up without interruption until it was almost time for tha sun to get up.

Among the guests were: Mayor Howell, General Jourdan, Hxtise Commissioner Stears, Charles Schtt rlg and wife, Sheriff Kiley, ex Supervisor at Large Guthrie, JuBtice Courtney, Justice Walsh, ex Register Wm. Barro, Controller Seniler, W. P. McLollau and wife, Mr. and Mrs.

As Boon as the jots began to blaze again some one on the Conkling side called out, "How are you Daggott" and several persons Insisted that the Daggott men had tnod to brtiak iin fhA innAtlnc bv turning tha to himself the overcoats of the household and other property within easy reach. So successfully had Mr. Johnson alias Parker worked this stale device that quite an impetus was given to the jjady matjo cjpthing business.

The predutory schemes of these youthful persons would result in nothing if servant maids wore always shrewd. But thoy are not, and somebody else should do thoir thinking for thoni.

This is the third or fourth gas off. These assertions wore mot with three loud application made for a similar franchise.

Ammermau, the question as to tho amount of fees was laid on the tablo till tho next meeting. On motion of tho same gentleman, the chairman was directed to appoint a committee of threo to secure rooms for the use of the committee. At this point a paper was handod to the aeoretary, which tho chairman announced to be A CONTEST FBOM THE FOURTH WARD, elsimlng that the sitting dolegatos, Messrs. Gorman, Dady, Smith and Giveu, wero not fairly elected. Mr.

Maddox inovod to refer the contest to a special committeo. Mr. Daggett It ia too late in the day for such action, as tho contest should have been made at tho first meeting of the committee after the primary.

It was said that tho Conkling delegates, who are led by I'iro Commissioner Jacob Worth aud John A. Niohols, held a caucus at the Fire Department, but this was afterward denied. By half past soven o'clock politicians began to assemble In and about Fraternity Hall. In addition to the delegates a vast crowd of workers and officeholders woro on hand.

Thoy blockaded the sidewalks aud tilled tho air with tobacco smoko. They crowded up tho stairways aud iuto tho hall, making, ingress or egveBS a lnattor; of groat dimoulty. Among tho carlieBt to arrive was ex Sheriff Albert Daggett, who reached the city on his roturn trip from Washington yostorday afternoon. Mr. Daggett occupied a scat on the east side of the hall and was soon surrounded by Mb followers.

There was muou talk about tho object and probable result of his Waflhiugtoman Indorsed by nine slgnera, transmitting a resolution A CABLEGRAM RECEIVED.

The practicability of the scheme has been proved. The chief obstacle in the way is the character of the Aldermen, who can do nothing without awakening suspioion. It may be that we should be helped to a proper solution if power to award a contract were lodged in the hands of the Mayor, the Controller and the Commissioners of City Works.

It is noticeably inconsistent for his Honor to be appealing to the Legislature for permission to wake places of business, among them butcher shops, pay licenses, while arguing that thoy ought not to pay for the water used by them iu excess of the quantity allowed to the average household. The revenuo raised by the meter system is not oppressive, and it is obviously just in principle, while the gains gathered through the license system might be both oppressive and unjust. Alderman LePine offered for adoption a rtsolutiou requesting the Board of Assessors not to include parsonages iu the assessment valuation for the current year.

The resolution was referred to tho Law Committee. We should like to have Mr. LePine give some reasons for excepting parsonages from taxation. Why should a minister's house escape taxation? Is he not as ablo to pay as his neighbors What is there in the character of a minister's property that it should go free while tho shanty of the mechanic is taxed There are parsons in Brooklyn who havo houses worth from twenty to thirty thousand dollars each, and whose salaries run from to $20, 000 per annum. It seems to us that these good gentlemen are not objects of charity.

Then again, what is to be done for the ministers who do not own houses Surely they being poor aro the ones to whom consideration should be extended. Would it not bo well for Mr. LePine to amend by a proviso that the city shall pay the ront of the par sous who do not not own houses If there is to be any favor, let it be dealt out with fin even hand. While in this business of providing for tho preachers, we suggest that an appropriation be made to clothe and feed them. It is obviously as proper to make them paupers in the matter of attire and groceries as in shelter.

To be sure, he has had a good deal to embitter him, but that does not excuse his failure to take advantage of tho philosophy in which men who are his intellectual inferiors have so often found refuge from mortification and disappointment. At once vain and cynical, his moods lead him through all the stages from childishness to arrogance, aud he loses half the effect of his oleverness in tho spectacle whioh ho frequently makes of himself. A man who assunieB so many airs should at least bo impervious to the shafts of ridicule, but of all our publio men the senior Senator from New York is the most touchy and sensitive.

That particular Bpoke iu the wheel of df had not turned up to the shifty julriot of that day. Mow such sotiomoa seem to wax apace. Senator Butk waited until yeBterday for an opportunity to turn to account the false insinuations ami the intemperate language used by Conkling during Ihi canvass.

He had it in his power to do a good turn for his State, for hiH section and for his country as a whole, by availing himself of his position as a Kenutor to direct public attention to the partisanship by which the South has stiff, ired, aud to tho attitude which public men art driven to assume when they rely for party success on their ability to antagonize one section of thoir country againRt another. Mr. Butler found no difficulty in proving that Mr. Conkling had committed a great outrage that his attitude toward the South Las been unstatesman like and unpatriotic. But when he took occasion to compare Conkling to a 'professional highwayman," greatly to the disadvantage of tho Senator, and to dismiss the "political highwayman" to such shelter as he could secure from the hissing storm of scorn and "contumely," Mr.

Butler contrived to raise another issue which Mr. Conkling promptly turned to account, and that is os to the licens3 in debate which the Southern representatives persist in indulging in, and which lias so often been turned to tho disadvantage of the Southern people. Mr. Conkling affected not to have heard Butler's language, but he felt justified, nevertheless, in characterizing it as the "vaporings of the Sonator from South Carolina." In retort, Butler "valiantly proclaimed that "the swaggering iasolenoe of tho Senator from Now York" gave him no concern, and Conkling closed the debate, for the present, by proclaiming that ho had "no desire to bandy epithets with that meaning by "that person" the hot headed Soutt Carolinian.

It is impossible to believe that the affairs of the publio are in decent condition when a ing an important political influence, is seen to be largely composed of ruffians, or the retainers of porsons who aooount ruffianism among the legitimate means of accomplishing their objects. As against such following as clustered around Mr. Daggett laBt night, it is incumbent upon the better class of citizens, irrespective of party, to set tiii.if facts in the most dooided manner.

Tiii, decent Republicans must do if thoy WM'jJ3 save the parly from the autagonism of wtjj who would keep outlaws from controlling ii.y ijunicipality. Republicanism in this form a'w uiorh than a political question. It challenges whatever Is law abiding to conflict and if the evil be not subdued by Republicans there is no other alternative than for tho community to deal with tho party ftfl a corporate criminal. Mr. Daggett, regret to say, has been going from bad to worse.

Having set up as a boss about a year ago, he has rapidly advanood toward that maximum of insolence, obuslve ness and vulgar violence, whioh seem everywhere to characterize tho full flodgod boss. By a process of natural selection he has drawn to his support a gang, half of whom seem to be of tho wide mouthed McDormott stripo, and the remainder of tricksters and bruisers mixed. To differ from him is thus to run tho risk of being knocked down in the dark, and of being showered with filthy epithets in the gaslight or tho daylight. Two or three fellows who have for reason beon kicked out of decent journalism, and kept out, promote his causo in such obscure and ill smelling publications as thoy havo access to, wtiile his advo catos of tho other sort may bo found either in barrooms or at street corners, discussing in their peculiar vernacular the gentlemen whom they call "no good," and who ought to have thoir heads mashed." It is gratifying to see that, after these followers of Mr. Daggett had dono their utmost last night, he and thoy were routed by the bettor men of the Genoral Committoo.

The motion being put the ohalr was again sustained by a vote of 72 to 42.

After some further dismission and wrangling on points of order, the chairman finally oalled on the respective speakers on either side of the New Lots qnostiou to sum up their oaso, Mr. Linton being granted the oloBing say. Mr. Maddox argned for the contestants, and substantially covered the came ground SB aet forth in the report given above. MB.

LINTON, made a strong appeal to the committee In his own behalf. He said tho whole matter waa littlo involved. When ths committee on the KeirLota caso was appointed at the December meeting there was great oonf usion, and ths committee were not properly instructed as to their dutlsB in the premises. Be insisted that when the committee held their' meetings at New Lote it was impossible for him to attend, on aooount of tho inolem enov of the weathar and for other reasons. It was ini EOBBlbie for bim to get his witnesses together.

He had, owever, a meritorious case, and never admitted otherwise When ho went before tho 'committee' he was confronted with fourlawyere, and was told net to ask any questlonB. Then, again, two memberB of the committeo bad their opinion already formed and were prejudiced. He was not given a living half opportunity to prove his caso ond show how muoh fale voting there was on the other aids. Whatever tbo result might be, he had received a majority of the legal votea ot the disputed primary. Ho denied that ho had bad a fair trial.

Counselor Elliott was, by unanimous oonsent. given a few minutes to advocate Mr. Linton's cow. He did bo by eulogizing Mr. Linton and denouncing tho chairman of tho committeo for bis alleged unfalrnoBa in the New Lota matter.

At length, when it was a few minutes after midnight, the decisive voto on the adoption of the report of ths committee on New Lots was taken. In explaining his voto, Mr. Daggott took tho opportunity or making another Bpeacb. Ho Bald the investigation in the New Lota affair was unfair from beginning to end, and conducted in a partisan way and without any respect for the rights of the minority. Mr.

Linton expended ovor $1,000 in the God forsaken Town of Now Lots during tho laBt campaign, and they Bhouid nuras suoh Republicans aa long aa thoy can.

The ruleB which govern parliamentary bodies nave been set at oomp(et defiance, Mr. Soharmann I also ask to be excused. I don't think thero waa a solitary human being lu the room who heard the bylavtB or new rales of order read, or, Indeed, any of the proceedings up to the time that the room waa cleared. If you hove seventy vote (pointing to the corner of the room where the antl Daggett delegates were most numerous) I'U give in, but I'll fight you until I see that you have that number.

Mr. Linton, of New Lots I will ask the committee to excuse mo from voting. New Lots ie placed iu an unfortunate position in this controversy, ond one which the voters of that town had nothing whatever to do with. We hav nothing to do with faction fights within the Republican ranke. Owing to the partisanship which prevails, a vote for or against the motion will have no effect on the vital question Involved.

The call of the roll waa watched with latonie interest, and it seemed that it would be Impossible to muster tha requlrod seventy votes for the motion.
