Political Parties and the Political Situation, To the Editor of ihe Broo.Wjn Eagle: In times of political excitement, party is frequently the bone, not the benefit of a country. Pas Bion, not reason, porty, not patriotism, rule the hour. I presume there is scarcely a man, who views the matter dispossionately, who would not concede to every Southern State, Congressional representation, on the abstract question of right. But a vast number of good and patriotic men think they see flange fa such a course, thoy are apprehensive ol coalitions that would tend to make a party inimical to the best interests of the Country. The Republican party, as a party, achieved for themselves Immortal renown, In rallying' the North to a determined defence of the Union, in all its integrity, This was a high and holy purpose, and in the end they achieved by forco of arms, through Democratic aid, a complete victory everywhere the flog of the Union had undisputed sway over the National domain.

But peace hath its victories no less than war. The snbjcctnow assumes a new phase; brave foes our brothers, countrymen, bono of our bone, flesh of our flesh who hoDestly conceived that they were right, and of which I havo no doubt whatever, now occupy tho relations, for which we contended, position in the Union. I am yot to understand, viewing and knowing as I do the Southern people, now that Uie bone of contention Slavery is forever abolished, that there exists any cause why they should not be represented. An enlarged magnanimity, patriotism and generality would urge, with the voico of an archangel that we should receivo this people a people marked with the highest and noblest traits of humanity and heroism. If, by any posibility, there should ocour anything liko an opposition to the laws, I have an abiding faith that the National Government would have at command an irresistible force, as would squelch outmost effectually an opposition, The voice of reason, of consanguinity and of patriotism, appeal to ns most eloquently to forget and forgivo, J.

COBNTI COURT JUDGE DEMO. An Oil Speculator Gets into Trouble and Absconds. SECRET MARRIAGE DISCOVERED, PROPERTY WORTH $20,000 INVOLVED, An application was made this morning to Judge Dikeman for an ordor of publication in tho foreclosure of a mortgogo suit of Jno. Drow against Jessie A. Hy.

drlck, The circumstances of the case are somewhat singular, and are as follows: The defendant, Jesse A. Hydrlok, was. a resident of thetownofFinnkllu, Orange County, and hav ing property, engaged largoly in speculations In oil for a long time. Ho was successful, and becamo noted in that region for his wealth. The names of tho Hydrlck form and Hydrick well will bear testimony of tho enter prise he was engagod in.

But Mr. Hydrick did not spend all of his time in the oil regions, but for several seasons graced the Metropolis with his presence, living at the Astor House, and attracting much attention by the boldness of his speculations and his lavish expenditure of money. However, a yesr ago his affairs became embarrassed and he fiuddenly disappeared from New York, and since that time he has not been seen or beard from, although the most strenuous efforts have been made by interested parties to discover his whereabouts. This same gentleman always passed in these parts for an unmarried man, but among other revelations is the fact that, residing in Venango County, there is a Mrs. Jcsso A.

Hydrick, who, it is claimed, was married to him ecreily, who has one child, and both of whom, in tho absence of the husband and father, are made parties to the suit which is now pending. Thia foreclosure is upon property in the 19th Ward of this city, worth which is mortgaged to tho plaintiff for $16,000. LANDLOBD AMD TENANT. Harris vs. Morank motion was mado in this caso by Mr.

Bernard Hugnes to dismiss the proceedings, on the ground of an informality in tho complaint. The BUit is brought by tho complainant to eject the defendant anil several other tenants from house No, 4 Imloy street, which they at present occupy, and from the pleadings in the caso, it appears that at various times last year, they hirod tbo premises from an ageht of Mrs. Helen Lefferts, who wos the original owner of tho property, as monthly tenants, one of them Bllen Do lorlty, renting the basement of tho houso at $1 50 a month, which in theno days of exorbitant rents is quite refreshing. In May last Mr. Harris purchased the house from Mrs.

when ho came to take possession the tenantB refused to leave, and douiedhis right to compel tiem to do bo. He thou brought tho present action. The motion for a dismissal of tho nroceodings was made on the ground that tho complaint did not set forth fully the agency from Mrs. Lefferts in the matter of hiring tho premises to the tenants, but after argument by Mr. Hughes for the tenants, and Mr.

Voedor for the landlord, the motion was denied. The Court tnen adjourned. SUPREME COURT Befobs Jodob oilbebt. The Atlantic Avenue Improvement no tion for an Injunction Against the Commissioners. A motion was made in the Supreme Court this morning for an injunction against the Commissioners for the, improvement of Atlantlo avonue, ro.

Btraining them from taking up the pavement from Grand street to Fourth avenue, In ordor to make a dirt road of it. The late Legislature, it appears, passed a law permitting the Commissioners for tho improvement of Atlantic avenue to removo the panement on the above portion of tbo avonue, and replaoe it with gravel for the purpose of making a carriage road. The road was paved some seven, yeara since, by local assessment on the owners of property along the avenue within tha above location and at a cost of about (ICO a lot. These owners, as alleged, knew nothing of the passage of the law in question until Patrick Cannon, to whom the Commissioners had Riven the contract to remove the pavement commenced work in the olaimed Improvement, and then they became Indignant, and now seek to have an injunction put on the work until the matter can be argued. They claim that Inasmuch as the pavement on the Btreet was paid for by local assessment, the Commissioners have no right to remove it, and that the Legislature had no right to pass a law authorizing them to remova it without making provisions for oompenBatlng the owners of property at whose expense it was put there, and no such provision was put in the law.

The motion was made by Messrs. Hudson, vail and CIsrkson, on behalf of Ben C. Miller and others, owners of property as above. Mr. C.

Jones, one of the Commissioners, appoared on their behalf, and by mutual consent the matter was postponed until tho 21th Inst. The Staten bland Difficulty. In the case Sf Daniel Daley, who was imprisoned at New Brighton, Staten Island, by Police Jus tics Vormilye and who was yesterday brought belore Judge Gilbert on a writ of habeas corpus, Judge Gilbert rendered a decision releasing the prisoner. This caso was similar to one which was brought before Judge Gilbert a few weeks since, and which was reported in the Eaole. The State Legislature at their last session, in conformity with their other acta, appointed a Commission to take oharge of the local affairs of a number of the towns of Richmond County, Staten Island, taking them out of tha hands of the residents or those towns.

These Commissioners, Messrs. Prentice, Shaw. Siruon'on sndBodine. nroeeed ed to appoint Police Justices and other officers for the Tillages and towns, and the present cases of arrests under warrants isBued by Police Justices appointed by these Commissioners were brought before Judge Gilbert to test the constitutionality of the law appointing these Commissioners. The Judge decided that the appointment of the persons above named by the Legislature is unconstitutional, and the election of Police Justice having been bold under their direction is void.

No money was found upon him. The Health Commisjsieners, connoted before the people of Brooklyn or shameless inefficiency, are trying to justify themselves before the New York public by throwing the blame of the bad sanitary condition of this city, on the city authorities. They tried this game in and were found out. The New York limes this morning undertakes the defence of the Commissioners for their Bhort comings in Brooklyn, and the only plea it can enter is an admission that the Commission is helpless and then abusinK the oity authorities for not per forming the duties the Health Commission was created to perform, and tor doing, or pretending to do whioh, a legion of Deputies and In spectors are drawing salaries. If everything depends upon the Aldermen what is the use of the Board of Health to Brooklyn, and why should we be taxed at the rate of thirty thou sand dollars a year to maintain a worthless system? The Times says: "The Board of Health, to its action in Brooklyn, for some reason unexplained us, is ouugoa to proceed ta r.n oneration with the Aldermen of the different wards.

though in Now York it has ignored them with a supreme indifference. These Aldermen In certain wards, and we need not say the lowest and moat "Democratic" wards, have refused to co overate with the Board, ncrhans har ing jobs of their own In connection with the street contracts, or perhaps not wishing to annoy their constituency with too much investigation into their habits and sanitary condition. This was naturally the case in the Bed Hook district and the Sixteenth Ward. Hero, ac cordingly, tho cholera already appears, and in evory ward, Dr. urane lniorms us, wnere mo aiuermeu ue clined to work with tho Board, thoro if the greatest mor tality.

Tho mOBt threatening appearance of cholera thuB far Is in Brooklyn, and though the peatilones do not break oat generally, the deaths lrom neglect oi sauiwry pruwiiiuuim mo uu tut iu crease. From the miserable jealousy of these Aldormen, or from baser motives, the poor peoplo of the lowest quarters are left without publio care to be carried off by dysentery fever and cholora. Indeed, it would seem that the pestilence is allowed to outer Brooklyn in ordor that some wicked street contractor or petty uiuciui may reap larger profit from his neglect of the public good. We believe that the samo thing would havo been true in Uiw Vnrk. indeed that we should at this moment be be under a dark cloud of pestilenco and a thousand householders be mourning, if cms uity naa oeen lott, as the World and our Democratic cotemporaries desired last Winter, under tho government of our Aldermen and tho Common Council, instead of being nut under tho much r.ouseu uomnussion." Passing over tho animus of this statement, we will come to the facts.

The Metropolitan Health Commission was created avowedly for the purpose of taking the control of the Sanitary branch of the government at of the hands of the local authorities. This usurpation of chartered rights was justified on the specious plea of tho public safety. Threatened with a visitation of the cholera this summer, the people were ready to submit to unusual exercise of power if the public health could be tho better protected. and many who were opposed in principle to the establishment of such a body, were recon ciled to it in hopeB of attaining a thorough sanitary reform. At the outset, the Presi dent of the Health Commission notified Mayor Booth, that it was the province of the Aldermen to attend to the cleaning of tho streets in their respective wards, but that the Health Commissioners could and would interfere if the work ware not promptly and properly done.

Whether the Aldermen did their duty or not, it soon became evident that the Board of Health was doing nothing, and when directly called upon to exert its power to have the streets cleaned, Dr. Crane said the Board was powerless to abate the most flagrant nuisances. This instance occurred in the Twentieth ward, which we would inform the Times, and Dr. Crane, is not a Democratic ward. In regard to the Twelfth ward, we published the other day a statement of the exact condition of that locality, the causes prejudicial to the health of its residents, and what efforts had been made to abate them.

The Alderman of that ward and the Health officers appear to be at issue on only one point, and on that the Health authorities have tried their plan, and succeeded only in creating a greater nuisance than the one they had undertaken to abate. We allude to dumping night soil into the river. In New York we are told the Health Commissioners ignore the local authorities altogether, in Brooklyn they try to make the Aldermen the scape goats for their sins of omission. The Times under the inspiration of Dr. Crane tells its readers that the "Bed Hook District" is ravaged by Cholera because it has a Democratic Alderman, and a "low Irish" population who object to have all the filth of the city dumped under their noses.

Some people may under stand what politics has to with abating nuisances, we confess our inability to see the force of this argument, particularly when the strong est Eepublican (Vard in the city, the Twentieth, has been the most neglected in the matter of street cleaning. The Times' comparison between the condition of New York and Brooklyn, so favorable to the latter in point of Sanitary perfection, is unfortunate ly upset by the recent letter of Mr. Schultz to the New York street contractors, in whioh the streets of that city, with few exceptions, are stated to be in a filthy condition, notwithstanding the fact that the local authorities have been treated with "supreme indifference," and the Health Commissioners have dealt directly with the contractors. However, we have no desire to meddle with New York. If the people of that city are satisfied with the Health Commission, they can have it, Wo are willing to give it up to them entirely, surrendering all interest in tho oon cern, Dr.

Crane included, if he can be of any use to our neighbors. We speak for Brooklyn, and it is the general conviction hero, that so far as this city is concerned, the Metropolitan Health Commission is one of the most shameful swindles ever inflicted on any community. All the Brooklyn agents of the concern seem capable of doing is to draw their salaries, abuse the city authorities, and let the public health take care of itse If, A paragraph appeared in these columns some time since, in whioh Judge Dikeman was severely, and we now believe unfairly, censured for his action in setting at liberty a man named Patrick Curran, who was sentenced to thirty days imprisonment in the Penitentiary by one of the Justices, on a conviotion for assault and battery. The following synopsis of the evidence taken before Judge Dikeman shows that the Judge's course was entirely justifiable: Mr. S.

0. Brown, in whose employ were both complainant and defendant, states: Patrick Curran, the person now in prison on the complaint of James Boyle, for assault and battery, has been in my service for some months, during which time he behaved In a peaceable and quiet manner, minding bis own business and not interfering with any one. He la sober. He has a wife and fire children who are dependent upon him for support, and I also desire to have him again In my employment. I have discharged James Boylo, the complainant.

Dr. King, who happened to witness the quarrel between the men, voluntarily came before the Judge and made a atatement which must be accepted ascoaclu" sivc. "I was present when a quarrel arose between two men in the employment of Mr. Brown, who keeps livery stable on the corner of State and Boerum streets the facts are as follows: A verbal altercation commenced between them, which attracted my attention, I then saw the large man, the complainant In the eaae strike at the other who returned the blow, knocking down the aggressor, he then returned to nil work when th person knocked down followed him and itruok him again; tke email man, now a prisoner, returned the blow and they continued striking at each other, but the prisoner being the better man knocked tho other down again having punished him severely, the complainant was to all internets and purposes the aggressor." While we must not be understood as censuring the Police Magistrate referred to, for the evidence so far as it went seemed to justifyhis oourse we make this explanation with greatpieasuie, since our attention has been courteously recalled to thecaso, There are at present eighty thousand federal office holders feeding at the publio orib. The "great moral idea of those times is to keep them in provender.

For this we keep the Union divided and run the risk of another row. Groeley is. jubilant other row. If who make the uiu mutt wiijai, ir would ttoarigii Qreeley's ardor. 7 The Cholera.

Simple and alleged certain Cures fur it. To (he Editor of On Brooklyn Bank: Will yon do me the kindness to re publish tbs enclosed, simple and fotitite cures for 'Aalatlo Cholera. Very respectfully yours, J. A. O.

A lady wrltea to the current number of the Shilling Magarine her experience at Oadii, during the oholera visitation in 1854 5. A number of alleged wonderful cures had been effeoted by natives of the Philliplne Islands where the cholera may be said to be domesticated. In answer to Inquiries, tho following infoma tion was given to the lady by the Islanders Most willingly, lady, Willi explain all to you, but without any remuneration. It ia a common disease in our country, and we think but little of it, as the medicines that cure It are indigenous there and having themedicinea with me, how could I see them dying around mo, and refrain from adnunistering them? "Theoholera," he said, "attacks the human frame In three places. If in the lowest part of the body, it produces dysentery, and, if taken In time, ia easily cured by taking rice water; but the rice must be roasted first, as the coffee berry is, and then boiled.

Let him drink nothing but that, and tbo more the better, with Just tho chill off it. Should tho dysentery be obstinate, let injections of the same roasted rice water be administered. No one need die of this kind of cholera, if they refrain from taking anything else. At other times It attaoke tho large colon, and produces both dysentery and spasms, The first remedy is friction, xne worst and mostcumcuii to cure wuwi j.b ux appearanco is felt in the pit or ine stomaou, wnen severe spaBinB and retching are produced, and if not promptly cured, cramps sat in, and it Is often fatal. "In both of these cases the stomach is as hard as a dium, and friction must bo applied until the hardness and tension iB removed; and tnen we give inree urups of our medicine in a cup of strong green tea, whioh tirndncen a nrnfiinn awrat.

and the cholera has gono. Thefricfionmustbeopplied in a particular way, or it will be of no good. "Grease the hand with cocoa nut oil if you have It, if not, with hogs lard, or common ou; mis ii you can get neither, then apply the hand from the region of tho heart to the pit of the stomach, and then straight down to the abdomen taking care never to apply tho friction upwards or in a rotatory movement. The patient meanwhile should lie between blankets. Begin the friction rather gently, increasing in force.

All at once the tension and tightness and hardness will disappear. Thon olvn thn mciUcine: but if not to bo had, Eiva cammomile or tilia (tlower of the lime or lindon treo,) a aecocnon as not as tno puueu. niruin uu patient a quarter of au hour in bed after the sweat bursts out, then change him to a fresh one, and continue to administer evory half hour one of tho two mentioned beverages, and simplo beef tea after some hours, without salt in it. The medicines are tho pepita (a seed) of the Camalonga, and the madera (or wood) of the San Pace, dissolved in spiritB of wine. Three drops In a eup of green tea produce immediate perspiration.

For tho cramp wa rub tho joints, ond apply with wet bandages, a mixture of white wine vinegar, ginger, and cocoa nut They kindly gave mo some of their medicine; both mixed with some wine and in a raw state. A very small quantity of tho Pepita de Camalongo, in a glass of water, cures Bpasms; and ditto of the Madera deSanPaca, cureB dysentery. Frem a friend, a native of tho Philippine Islands, I obtained a botanical book, written two hundred years ago by a friar, giving a description and tho use of several indigenous trees, shrubs, and herbs of these Islands, which seem to abonnd iu medlclual plants. He says: 'Tho Pepila de Conialonga Is in size and appearance very liko a nutmeg; it is rank poison, but held in such high estimation that tho women generally carry one suspended round the nrck, and if attacked with sudden spasms they suck it, and swallow two or three timcH the saliva impregnated with it, and are imme dia'ely relieved as to contiuuo their work. Tho wood of the San Paca is given in the wotor, ond euros dysentery, So I found my PhiUippine friend was no ImpoBtor, and I sent his description of the mode of cure, aud some of the medicines, to Sir Benjamin Hall.

He acknowledged the receipt of thorn, and said both should be laid before a medical board; but with what result I never heard. Alter my interview with the Maloyans, one of my servants was attacked with cholera, spasma and retching I had none of their medicine except cocoa nut oil; but I had him placed between two blankets, gave him half a tea spoon of carbonate of soda iu hot water, and applied the friction as explained. The pit of the stomach was aa hard as a board; but in about ten or fifteen minutes the tension suddenly ceased. I administered immediately a large eup of hot cammomile tea, and a minute after the water actually ran down him, so profuse waB the sweat that burst from him. By this time tne Malay arrivca ana pronouncca mm curea.

I have a book, called "Deeds, not Words." contain. ing a liet, but by no means or one half, of the persona cured by this treatment Many who owed their lives to this man would not allow their names to be included for fear of offending tholr own medical attendants; besides, hundreds went to his house to be cured neither giving their names or address. I found one hundred ana eleven namea as curea in tne nut ana secona stages; thirty six dangerously ill with cramp, sickuess, and dysentery; and ten left as incurable and dying by the doctors. On his return home one day, ho found his wife alarmingly ill, and ho feared he was too late; but providentially he cured her. On one occasion he met some people carrying, as was supposed, the corpse of a young girl.to tho deposit for the dead, whom they said bad died in an hour after being attacked.

He fold them to lay her down and he would see if Bhe was quite dead. She was the only child of a bedridden mother whom she supported. He applied the friction as above described, brought hor back to life, ran in for two blankets, and, as no one would receive her. wrapped her un and laid her in the sun; gave her the medicine, and desired her to remain quiet until the perspiration subsided. She walked baok in an hour to her home, cured; but so great was the panic of the poor mother at seeing her child's ghost (as ane tnougnt) tnat it aauea ner.

My Malayan friend was a treat botanist and herba list. He told me "that a person was safor remaining in an infected place than going away; that the system bad got accustomed to the atmosphere, aud did not run so much chanco of taking the disease as if suddenly transferred to another atmosphere: that no person Bhould ever take Btrong purgatives or much medicine of any kind where the cholera was, as it predisposed the body to catch it." One or two ounces or oil of sweet almonds, mixed with an equal quontity of syrup of mallows, waB tho purgative, if any was required, whilst the cholora was raging. No great differenco should bo made in the UBual diet, but the first water used in boiling vegetables Bhould be thrown away Boon as it bolls, and fresh boiling water substituted. All windows should be closed before the dew begins to fall, and not opened again till two hours after sunset; and if left open during the night, they should be shut an hour before dawn, and not re opened till the sun is well up. I have tried, and always with great success, the toasted rice water for dysentery.

When toasted, it should have hot water poured on it, and boiled lor twenty minutes at least. A Nuisance in Water Street. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I desire, by meanB of vour valuable journal. to call Iho attention of the Board of Health or Frank Swift to the fact that since Monday evening laet, a dead dog has been lying in Water Btreet, botweenBridge and Gold, much to the indignation of pedestrians and residents of that vicinity. The animal was shot on the above evening, by Police Sorgeaut Crow, after it had bitten one of my friends (by (he name of Eiley), and by this time is in a pleasant state of decomposition, and emiting an odor which could not fail to affect the nose of even Swift himself, were ho to approach the locality designated above, Swift, I understand, has given orders to his omployes not to remove dead dogs aud cats: but is there no uower to comc el him to do so? Lord knows, be has made enough money, and it is not proper now, mat ne enonid negieot wnot i aeem to no his duty.

Thoro is but little use of appoaling directly to tho Board of Health; they bavo been called upon too many times in vain. I linnu. however, that either the Board or Swift himself will cause the removal of tho nuisance herein complained, or the result may be seri ous to tne neoiin oi those living in tne vicinity. IfOaY, Still Another. ft Ae Editor of ihe Brooklyn Bank: On July 16, a laree Newfoundland TJog was killed by a policeman In Hicks street, between Degraw and Harrison.

The carcass has been lvinrr in the Btreet ever since (July 19, 6. P. It Is terribly decomposed, buu iuu tue neignnornooa is i called the attention of a policeman to ho Informed I me that he bad reported it to the Sanitary Board two or three times. I called at tho 43d preoinct station bouse in Court street rAoorted it to the officer iu charge, who told me that the case had been reported to the person wheso duty it iB to attend to such, and ho said be would remove a horse or cow, but not the dogs and cats. Now, Mr.

Editor, what la thn Board of Health for I wen informed at their office, by their Clerk, that tho Board has nothing to do with such matters. I know that the Hoalth Law prohibits any citizen from throwing ashes, shells or bones In the street, for fear ot cresting disease; but it appears that a dog can be killed by a policeman and suffered to remain for three of the hottest days of this summer, and create a stench that ia absolutely Intolerable for two blocks, and no one to blame. I think If this is so, the sooner the Board ot Health or the Sanitary Board, or both, had beat be abolished at once, and let each citizen look out for himself. M. D.

Moons, 307 Hicks street, An Alleged Nuisance. IY the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I would call the attention through the columns of your paper to another of the many shameful shortcomings of the Bosrd of Health. At the corner of Vanderbilt avenue and Paclflo street stands a bakery and on the ground attached to It la a pig pen, said pen containing four pigs, and the stench arising therefrom is simply horrible. Tho neighborhood is, as yon well know, a populous one, and though complaint after complaint has been made iu regard to the matter, it has been without effect The police, I believe, have dore their duty, for I know of two who have reported it. The trouble lays higher, and I hope this may be the means of waking the guardians of our health, If such a thing were In tho neighborhood of Clinton avenue, I ask you, Mr.

Editor, how long would it remain? And why should we, who are so unfortunate sa to be poor, have less regard for our health? If the Inspector wfil only come near enough to get one good smell, I promise he will not hesitate to order their removal Respectfully yours, W. H. Still Another. To Ou Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle The object of this note is to call to your attention the condition of certain premises In President street They have been complained of over threetimes to the gentlemen composing the Sanitary Commission. They have sent some of their empolyees to look at the premises, but that is all the good they did.

They did not cause premises to bo cleaned. The cesspool of No. 13 is in wretched condition, and neaded cleaning long ago. The yard is almost filled with old wood; the win dowa on the rear cannot bo opened, even thia hot weather, without the rooms being filled with the stenou that arises from the Tan smell is positively over powering. BeBldes, the yards are in a filthy condition.

Your paper has had re wrta of several cases of oholrra on Van Brunt street, but in my opinion, Noa. 11 and 13 President street are ai bed if not worse than Vaa'Bruut street, in point of eleanliness. Hoping that you may give this an insertion, I am yours. Ossravsa, The City Pork and tke Police.

Sup. Crooko eaid that the present resolution only fixed the route of the sewer, and its dimensions might bo made large or small as required. The motion to lay on the table was lost. Sup. Byder moved that the Committee bo authorized to have a route surveyed, commencing from tho land of W.

Williamson, J. Schonck, and others, to the road leading from Flatlands Neck and New Lotts, and thence along the road leading to Vauderveer's mill to Mill Creek, with a view of ascertaining tho most practicable route for tho line. The motion was lost. Tho report of tho committee was adopted. BESOLTJTIONS.

Both those clubs havo now each received a pretty severe losson. Tho Atlantics "(rent to Jersey," short two of tholr best players, and came back handsomely whipped. Tho Excelsiors yesterday went to Morrisania without Flanly or Whiting, changod several of the players which thoy did have, and received a neat drubbing from tho Unions; Undoubtedly tbo Unions played the best gamo they have this season. Their fielding, wilh the oxception of tho last two or three inningB, has never boen surpassed, if it has been equaled. On the other baud, the Excolsiors were not up to their usual mark, oither in batting or fielding, and loBt tho gamo through wild throwing, chiefly by Norton and Leggott.

Pearce and Crane also played more poorly than one would have thought possible for thorn. Clyne watched tho centra Hold closely and captured four fly balls. Norton and Brainard did excellently ns catcher and pitcher respectively. On tho Union side, Pabor's pitching was noticeable as being remarkably effective, aud Martin attendod to second base in splendid style, making a beautiful double play in the second inniugs, ou which Poarco and Crano retired. Of the remaining players on tho Bido of the MorrieanionB, tho best work was dono by Smith, Hanncgan, and Kefchum.

Commissioner Thome and Chief Con HiDgbam Express their Opinions. OTHER GENERAL BUSINESS. The Fire Commissioners met last evening, at 8 o'clock, at No. 9 Court street, a large orowd of firemen being in attendance.

It was fully 0 o'clock before a quorum was secured to enable business to be begun. There were present: Burdett Btryker, President; and Commissioners Wil liam aC. Boerum, A. B. Thorne and Felix Campbell.

Commissioner Barro was absent, owing to sudden and severe indisposition. The first case called was that of Franklin Engine Co. No, 8 against Empire Engine Co. No. 19.

The former was represented by its foreman. Joseph W. Gregg, and the latter by James McCauley, foreman. The charge made ny ho. is tnat on tno.

morning or July wnne running to a are, members oi.no. id snoveii, assaulted and struck men on the drag rope of No. 3. That they turned the tongue of the apparatus in such a manner as to mono tne engine run into a street car, at the time coming down Myrtle avenue, thus jeopard izing life. This charge is mot by No.

19, who claims mat no enoraig was aone; mat no. a "zig zaggea across the avanue to prevent 19 from passing. A largo amount of testimony was taken, which was. as usual, conflicting, trad from which it ia the duty of the Commissioners to arrive at a decision. Nearly all of No 3's members were present and summoned as witnesses.

From their statements it appears that No. 3 turned the corner of Myrtle avenue and Fulton street, at about tho samo time that No. 19 did. The "bights" of the two drag ropos were along aide each other and there was a fierce rivalry for the lead, No. 3 finally opened up a gap and reached Truck No.

1, which it passed. Nineteen followed tearing down the hill to Hudson avenuo, at which point things brgan to look even again. As the two companies began to rise the hill towards Fort Greene pulling becamo serious work. The ropes were side and side, between them the man in command of 19 with a tiro trumpet. Whilo moving to and fro encouraging his men and keeping the two fines apart, his trumpot hit a member of No.

3, accidently as the receiver of tho blow believes. No other blow was shown to have been given unlil the top of the hill was reached. In the meantime, 19 in the right hand track was partially cut off by No. 3, which jumpod from the left hand track to the right to avoid a car coming towards them. This forced 19'a men towards the gutter, and they claimed that No.

8 Bhould have boon turned to the left of tho car where there was plenty of room. 3 scouted that idea, as the "bight" of their rope wa9 in advance of 19'a and therefore they had a right to tako the track. As tho two cngineB and car were abreast of (ach other suddenly the tongue of No. 3 was turned and tho engine driven into tho car. Before three could bo extricated, nineteen had passed.

One of the men on the tongue of 3 swore, last evening, that he was pushed from the tongue by men from 19's drag ropes. A member of 19 sworo that the wheels of 19 caught in tho fore wheels of 3, and thua it was turned into the car. During the excitement of extrication and passing two men ou the ropo of 3, claim that they were hit by persons having on lfl'a fire caps. As against this, two mombers of No. 19 swear that at that time thora was not a man on the rope who had on a fire cap, excopt thoso bolonging to other companies.

Only two caps of 19 were out at the fire, and the wearers of them did not reach the apparatus nnlil after tho trouble. A member of No. 5 who was on 19'a rope all along, told an apparently impartial story, in which neither company seemed blameless. He Eaid that No. 8 went ilg zagging across the avenue to prevent 19, as he supposed, from using either car track.

When the two companies got up the hill they stopped and one of the men of No. 3 accompanied by his brother, went to No. 19 to see who struck him. Here the testimony conflicts again; one says he asked civilly who struck him the other swears he came up claiming that he could lick the man who struck him or anybody on 19. As a result of this double width assertion, tho man in command of No.

19 acknowledges to having struck him with a trumpet, but he claims this to bo a private matter which occurred when tho 8 man was a block and a half away from the apparatus to which ho belonged. About twenty witnesses wero sworn in all. The de cision was not given last night as there is another charge against 19, and the two will be settled together. Nineteen is now locked np becanse the men who rode on the tender, aa heretofore charged, have not been broughtforward. One man namedDwler acknowledged to having rode on the fender, and he was expelled.

The other who rode ia claimed to be an exempt. The Commissioners insist upon it that he muBt be proiuced, unui wnicn time iv must remain locked up. The Chief Engineer who was present itited that Engine No. 19 and Hose 8 had men who run with them when they had no right to do so. The umei Deiiovea tnese were tne men wno made tne disturbance with No.

3 on the morning of July 4th, and ho bad ordered the arrest of a number of them, Mr, HcCauley, the foreman of 19, stated he had taken a fire cap away from one of these outsiders recently. He also wanted to know why 19 was now locked up. Thorne Bocauso there is a charge, not disproved, against it, for riding men on the tender. McCauley I was ordered to bring up tho men who had the tongue of the engine and not the tender. Thorne That must have been a clorical error.

There is no charge against the engine. McCauley Well, must we be kept locked up because of a clerical error! One man has acknowledged to riding and been expelled. Thome That was at another time. The man on the tender on this last charge must be produced. unlet Engineer Cunningham wno males mis cnarge, Mr, Thorne Thome I do.

I saw tho affair, ran along Bide the tender for a block, oalled to the men to got off, and they told me to go to hell. Chief Well, I don't think it right for a man to make a charge against a company and thon come here and ait in judgment, sir. Thorne All right. This is a free country; evory one can enjoy his opinion. Chief (warmly) I think this course is all wrong, sir.

Thorne That's where wo diffor. You do many things which I think wrong. Chief No, sir; I never did a wrong thing in my llfo, sir. Never. Thorne Well, you often do what I think is wrong.

Chief Well, sir; to complain against a company and than juilgo upon it ia wrong. That'B my opinion, sir. Thorne Your opinion makes no difference whatevor to me. I don't care what you think; I don't owe you anything, and you can think what you please. Chief Nor do I owe you anything.

By this time the orowd was close up to the raillag earnest faoeB look ed over Into the apartment occupied by the Commissioners. Bnt the heat subsided and the chief withdrew evidently dissatisfied. Tho complaint of Hose 3 against two members of Hose 7 was postponed. Hose 5 produced two men, Edward Finn and John Bilty, who swore they had the tongue of the carriage when tho chargo against them was made. Oauld not find the men who rode.

Ordered to remain still locked. Hose produced Wm. Brown, who had tongue on night charged. An exempt fireman was with him. He had a badge on.

Witness did not have time to put on his badge and Inspector Folk told him to get time or leave the rope. Tho men who rode were not produced. Testimony decided to be not satisfactory. House still locked. Petition showing that tower in Degraw slroet noeds repairs very much.

Testerday, the notorious Parson Brownlow, who in troubled times floated to the surface as Governor of Tennessee, sent the following eminently characteristic dispatch to Washington, addressed to Seoretary Stanton, who se cured the questionable distinction of being made the medium of communioating an insult to the President: Uabhville, July 19. 18C6. "The battle la fought and iron. Toe amendment it ratified by a Tote ofi3toll, Two of the President' i toolt refused to vote. 'GIt6 my complimentB to the man of tho White House.

W. G. Bbowhlow. It is diffioult, with the information before us, to understand the workings of the anomalous government of Tennessee. Brownlow called the Legislature together on the 4th instant, to ratify not to discuss the proposed constitutional amendment.

A majority of the Legislature was willing to respond to Brownlow's order, but a number of the members absented themselves and left the lower house without a quorum. Brownlow haB been chasing up the absenting members, and it would seem that he has contrived to seize a sufficient number of them to legalize by their presence the action of tho Legislature. The present government is the oreature of military law. Not a tenth of the people are permitted to take part in the election of tho men who pretend to speak for the State. Tennessee is either in the Union or out of it.

If she is out, she has no sort of right to take part in he amendment of the National Cons titution; if she is in it, Congress can have no right to make the ratification of an amend ment a condition of the acknowledgment of the fact. The Constitution can be amended only by the voluntary action of the States; Congress proposes to subject the State to continued disabilities unless it endorses its views. The amendment itself could not have passed through Congress if all the States had been represented there, so that gradually but surely the government of the country is being centered in the hands of a minority of its people. Singularly enough, Brownlow's zeal has brought his Radical co laborers in Washington into additional trouble. They do not desire to admit Tennessee, e7en on the condition of the ratification of the amendment.

Brownlow, bo ing at a distance from Washington, fell into the mistake of supposing that tho Badical offer was made in good faith. Whon the news of the rat ification reached Washington, a resolution was offered in the House to admit the delegates from Tennessee. Thad. Stevens earnestly opposed it, and succeeded in dividing his party in the centre, when the vote to consider the resolution was taken. With the aid qf the Democrats, tho more moderate Republicans succeeded in defeating the Stevens' wing of the party.

By consent the test vote was postponed until to day. The dilemma in which the Badicals are placed is peculiarly perplexing. If they refuse to admit the Tennessee representatives they will be shown to be false to their most recent professions. If they admit them, the power of the Radicals in the Senate will be greatly impaired, for Tennessee has long since elected two Senators, both of them adherents of the President's policy one of them tho President's son in law. Brownlow's zeal has got his Badical friends into trouble.

It remains to bo seen how they will get out of it Anotber Revolutionary Move. Mr, Stevens yestorday offered a resolution in the House of Bepresentatives, proposing that "when Congress adjourns, it shall adjourn to meet on Saturday, the first day of Docem "ber, unless sooner summoned bythepmiding "officer of boih Houses, which power, in case of "an emergency, is horeby granted them." This attempt to usurp tho Constitutional power of the President of the United StaUs will add to the existing fears of a renewal of strife. The next regular session of Congress commences on the 1st Monday of December. Should an extra session be required "in case of an emergency," the President alone is authorized by the Constitution to convene such session. Mr.

Stevens proposes to deprive him of this power, and to lodge it in the hands of the presiding officers of both Houses. Mr. Stevens has yet to learn the love of the American people for law and established order. They will indignantly resent this palpable usurpation, should it be attempted. Except on the theory that those the gods propose to destroy they first make mad, Mr.

StevenB' attempt will fail. There is a paper published in New York called the Bound Table, which soorns to be desirous of trying if sensation articles can be made attractive, without the accessories of the large headingb in which they are usually announced. Its current sensation relates to the prevalence of drunkenness among American women. Our Bohemian cotemporary Bays "Tho sight of a tipsy or intoxicated woman is not un common at the sca side and it is by no means extraordinary upon Broadway. Wo have thebost authority for stating that some oi the most elegant ladies of our leading cities will pass this summer not at Saratoga or Newport, as usual, but at an asylum for inebriates.

And wo assert upon the same authority that tho vice of fashionable drinking is now more prevalent among the ladles than among the gentlemen of this country." This is, as we take it, a reckless calumny. The New York Bohemians are not noted for being particular in their associations. This writer confounds the "most elegant ladies of our leading cities" with the Hebes with whom he is on more intimate terms, and who dispense lager in questionable resorts at five cents a mug. The fellow evidently looks at sooiety through the bottom of a beer glass. The Excise Law Huddle.

Recorder Hackett's attention having been called to the recent decisions of Judge Gilbert and Lott, and to a paragraph whioh appeared in one of the papers, to the effect that he (Hackett) desired the opportunity of reconsidering and reversing his opinion on the question of the constitutionality of the law, writes to Distriot Attorney Hall to say, that the points passed upon by Judges Gilbert and Lott, do not cover the whole ground, and he refuses, in view of them, to reconsider his opinion. The Beeorder believes that the vital points of the law could not arise on habeas corpus (as before the Supreme Court Judges) but only upon demurrers to indictments. In view of the present complicated condition of things under the law, it would seam to be but common justice to the licensed liquor dealers, on the part of the police authorities, to give public notice of the course they intend to pursue in view of the recent deoisions here. Last Sunday they suffered the lagerbeer and liquor stores to remain open during the day. Will this course be continued? If not, notification ought to be given, so that those who may choose to act in accordance with the ukase of the Excise Commissioners may have on opportunity of doing so.

Ex Provisional Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, made a speech in Washington last evening, in which he tried hard to find fault with President Johnson's policy of restoration. About the only thing Hamilton finds fault with is that the negroes were not permitted to vote. If the South had made the demand for the enfranchisement of their negroes as a condition of coming back, we should have never heard the last of the insolence of that section. One of the New York military critics undertakes to show Gen.
