This' happened frequently on the Third avenue and other New York railroads yesterday, and the managers were compelled to provide at short intervals fresh horses for those which gave out through exhaustion or sunstroke. Horace Greeley's "blockheads" of the Union League Club, who proved their title to the epithet by entertaining the emine nt editor of the Tribune at breakfast, proposed to extend their luxuriant and costly hospitality to ex Seoretary Stanton at dinner. The gentle Horace showed that he either waB Borry for having called names or meant nothing, by eating at the expense of the Club, but Stanton coolly and curtly declined the invitation. The correspondence occurred last month but now for the first time finds its way to the press. Stanton's note, written two or three weeks after the compliment was tendered, could hardly have been Bhorter or more indifferent.

In Pat terson it rose to a hundred and aix yesterday, and in Quebeo it went up to a hundred and ten, showing that the heated term extends over a pretty wide range of country, and that Brooklyn is about the coolest place to be found. The ocean breeze fresh from the Atlantic wafted across the bay, freshens the air here abouts and keeps down the temperature. The hot weather is driving a good many folks off into the country, who will find when they get there, that the country is hotter than the oity, without the alleviating accessories and comforts to be found at home. There is no es cape from the heat, and those who rush off into the country in hopes of relief, will find in most cases that they have only changed the conditions of discomfort. The hot weather of the past few weeks has been a source of wealth to the country in averting the agricultural drawbacks of a cold wet spring.

It has brought the backward vegetation forward with rapid strides, saved the corn crop, and blessed the land with abundance. The reflection that we have not been perspiring for nothing will help us to en dure this weather with becoming resignation, aided by the reflection that heated terms have their limits, and that it will be cooler before election day. "What are our Hospitals for We find the following paragraph among our local items The police of the Forty third precinct discovered a seaman named Andrew McCaffrey lying sick with tho Chagres fever in Atlantic street, on Sunday last, and took him to the City Hospital, but here thoy refused to admit him. The siok man was then taken to the Long Island College Hospital, where they also declined to receive tho patient. He was next taken to the institution under the care of the Sisters of Charity, Congress street, where he was kindly taken in and humanely carea ior.

Both the Hospitals which refused to receive this sick and helpless man are in receipt of annual donations from the State on the as sumption that their doors shaltybe open to all persons requiring medical treatment in emer gency. The managers of tho Long Island College Hospital have long been notorious for their disregard of the requirements of their charter and the dictates of humanity in refusing to admit persons injured or taken sick in the streets, and whose lives may have depended upon prompt medical treatment; but the same charge has rarely been made against the City Hospital, that institution hitherto maintaining a good repute, and fulfilling all the requirements of such an institution. Why did they refuse to admit this man? If the Police find a man sick in the street they naturally take him to the Hospital, and the functionaries in charge of the institution exercise the privilege of taking him in or not, as they choose. There is evidently no rule about the admission of such cases, or the Police would be informed of it, and would save themselves the trouble of carting a sick man about the streets from one place to another as they did on Sunday From the City Hospital to the Long Island College Hospital the distance is over a mile, and through populous streets, on a fearfully hot day, was this man sick with a contagious disease carried, and denied admission at the only two public Hospitals in the city. We suppose the excuse of the Hospital functionaries will be that the man was afflicted with a contagiousdisease, and that it would endanger their patients to admit him.

Well, what were the Police to do with him They could not leave him to die in the streets, the Station House had no accommodation for him, and the danger of infection to others would be greater there than in the hospital. Fortunately the police bethought themselves of a Christian charity that does not tax the public or lobby big appropriations through the Legislature, but never closes its doors upon the poor and needy, or fears to face disease in its most terrible form. At the Home of the Sisters of Charity the unfortunate man was received without hesitation, and kindly cared for. The action of the Sisters of Charity has partially redeemed Brooklyn from the disgrace of not providing some place where the sick and friendless may be sure of finding shelter and medical treatment in case of need. Neither of the Hospitals are to be relied upon; they take the public money, but claim and exercise the independence of private institutions, and admit or reject applicants as they please.

The County Hospital at Flatbush iB too far away for cases of emergen cy, and to get a patient admitted an order from a Superintendent of Poor must first be obtained, and the delay and the long journey would in some cases prove fatal. It is hardly fair to expect the Sisters of Charity to receive all the bad cases the Hospitals choose to reject it would tax them beyond their means but if this work of humanity, the care of the destitute sick can be better done by private than by public charity, let us have a hospital for general use sustained by the whole community, under the care of the brethren of all the churches. The example of one church is before the rest to show what con be done. Death Bed Repentance. The House of Representatives yesterday passed the bill for abandoning the Freed man's Bureau after the first of January next.

During the debate it was shown that this political machine cost the people sixteen million dollars last year. As the bill was originally introduced it provided that the Bureau should be abandoned at the time named, if in the opinion of the General in charge of "it, it was deemed expedient to do so." As the General referred to has been enabled to build a palatial residence in the vicinity of Washington since his connection with the Bureau, it would be very "expedient" for him to continue it. The bill as proposed was so palpable a fraud that the clause quoted was stricken out, but what guarantee have we that when Congress meets in December next, it will not repeal the bill passed yesterday? Who will trust this death bed repentance? If the Radicals are not afraid of the people at the next election, why not abolish the Bureau now They insure themselves the use of this vast cormpting machine for the next election, and reserve to themselves the right to re establish it again. If the people can be deceived by such legislation as this the party in power will be justified in fleecing them. The Common Council resolved yesterday that the low ground on Fourth avenue, the site of Poplar Pond, where the late drowning casualty occurred, should be filled up.

The authority under which the Common Council iB empowered to make this improvement is conferred by the amendment to the charter passed by the last Legislature, which has been in force but a few weeks. This should be understood in justice to the Common Council which has made good use of the brief time that has elapsed in ordering the fining up. of quite a number or similar places in the Eighth Ward. The law of 18G7 conferred the power of filling up lots to abate nuisances upon (he Board of Health but like all other acts relating to that body its provisions were of doubtful force, and open to legal objections, consequently no action was ever taken under the law. The charter amendments restore the power over all local improvements to the Common Council, and vest that body with full authority to proceed in all cases where the public health, safety, or convenience requires an improvement without waiting for the consent of the property owners, or restricting them to any limitation of expense.

The chief difficulty in the way of filling up these low grounds lies in obtaining the necessary quantity of earth, which would be increased by ordering too much of this work at one time. Earth for filling purposes becomes valuable, and the cost of filling at such places as Poplar Pond must greatly exceed the value of the lots. The Fmst Gun fob Grant. The first public meeting in Brooklyn for Grant and Colfax was held last evening in the Tenth Ward. The assemblage numbered fourteen persons, who suffered for their folly in having a speech, an hour and a half in length inflicted upon them by a perspiring orator to fame unknown.

Tho people are waiting for the Seymour ratification meeting, which will show how the popular sentiment of Brooklyn stands. A Union League Club in New York tendered a dinner to the ex Hon. E. M. Stanton.

That collapsed personage, having no appetite for funeral baked meats, declined the honor. Another planet has been discovered by a Michigan astronomer. It comes ill just in time to furnish the Radicals with a place to retire to in November next. tracts We have before us, in American Lttio Register for July, the official report, of decision of tho Supreme Court of the State of Wisconsin, in the Ni colson Pavement' case, arising in the city of Madison, Wis. It fully bears out the doctrino laid down by the Mayor of this city in his recent veto of the resolutions of the Board of Aldermen for laying this pavement on Pierrepont and other streets.

The case is entitled Dean vs. Charlton and others. Tha substance of the decision, as stated by the learned reporter, trof essora Dwigbt and others, is as follows: Where a city charter required that all work Bhonld be let by contract to the lowest bidder, held that the city authorities could not contract at all for laying the Nicolson pavement, the right to lay it being a patented right, and owned by a single firm nd therefore, the work being one which could not bo open to competition. The decision, which was given by is too lengthy tor us to print in, fun. It states that plaintiff, owned lots on the street, in front of which the Nicolsoniave ment had been He refused to pay tho assessment on the ground that the city authorities had not complied with the charter provision.

Tho court Bays: "This objection is based upon the provisions of the charter requiring all work to bo let by contract to tho lowest bidder, and the fact that the right to lay tho Nicolson pavement is a patented right and was owned for the State of Wisconsin by onoflrm, in tho city of Milwaukee. It is Baid that the charter authorizes a contract only for such work as is open to competition, and that this work was not open to competition, because nobody had any legal right to do it oxcopt tho one firm that owned the patent. Upon these facte alone tho objection seems to me unanswerable, and nothing seems to be necessary beyond the simple statement of the requirement of the charter as to the mode of letting work, and the fact that this right was a monopoly, to show that the charter 1b inapplicable to it, and that a contract for this work would bo in violation of the necessary implication from its provisions. The Court goes on to discuss the arguments of the Nicolson counsel. First, they claimed that tho charter could not apply in such a case next that the owners of the patent were willing to sell royalties and that there might be fair competition among the holders of such royalties, so as to comply with the charter.

The Nicolson counsel further argued that where the charter limitation was inapplicable, the city authorities could authorize the work under their general powers. On this the Court disousses the case of the Harlem Oas Co. vs. the Mayor of New York. It points out the difference between that case and this.

The lighting of streets ia a general charge upon the city and may be ordered under the general powers of a city government. But the laying of pavement is a local charge on the particular property benefitted, and here the general powcra of the dty government aro not in question, but only its power of laying a recoverable local assessment, which must be done in strict conformity to the chartered powers of tho municipality. There is in such a case no general power of the city to fall back upon. As to tho point made in regard to royalties, the court holds that even if tho patentee had sold royalties to various persons, there could have been no competition so far as the cost of tho royalty entered into the price of tho work. But this consideration does uot arise, as in point of fact there had been no royalties sold, tho owners of which could have competed with tho patentee.

The Court after discussing this point, suggest by inference, that the only way for the competition to have been open, would bo for tho patentee to throw open the purchase of the royalty for that part of the city at a fixed price, so that the city might acquire it and be able to receive bids from any one willing to do tho work, without interference from tho patenteo with the lowcBt bidder. This case is not like that of stone pavement, limited to a particular quarry. Tho owner may sell moro or lees of that atoue to one or another person; but hi selling to one would not hinder his selling moro to another. But in tho case of a patont, the sale of the right for a particular locality prevented his afterwards granting a Bimilar right to another. The decision concludes thus It seems to me, therefore, a conclusion derivable from the very nature of the case, that competition could not be, and wbb uot, preserved, in the letting of this contract, and that it was, therefore, beyond tho Bcope and in violation of tho Bpirit of the charter.

It may bo said that this pavement is of a superior character, and that it is very desirable that cities should have authority to cause it to bo laid. It may be so but if so, I think tho aid of tho Legislature will have to be invoked, and that there iB no authority to contract for it under the charter, which requires the work to bo let by contract to tho lowest bidder. It was suggested that even though this assessment Bhould be held illegal, Btill there was nothing to show it to be inequitable, and therefore a court of equity ought not to interfere. But that principle has never been applied to these special assessments. And certainly it could not be applied where there is no legal authority to contract for the work at all, to payfor which tho assessment was imposed.

The judgment must bo revefted, and the cause thereof remanded with directions to enter judgment for the plaintiff for a perpetual injunction according to the prayer of the plaintiff. TTne Itcpnbltcan Bally Xo nigut. The Eadical Eepublicans, acting on our suggestion of a few days since, announce a grand ratification meeting to night at the Academy of Music.

Jim Nye, known by some as Senator Nye, by somo as Gov.

Nye, by others aa Stump Tailed Nye, ia a ripper on the platform, and the way he will annihilate tha Democracy, and utterly squelch onr candidate will be astonishing to behold and dreadful to hear. Whether ho will reduce the Democratic majority in next November is fortunately not a question for him to answer. That he will have a warm reception, and that his audience will hurrah like blazeB, are incontrovortable facte. With the thermometer at 90 on the platform, 95 in the parquette, 100 in the balcony, and 110 in the amphitheatre, there can bo no doubt that he will arguo until his hearers are brought to the melting mood, while tho first citizens in the private boxes broil and stew and steam like bivalves in a clam bake. Mr.

Van Cott, who has more leisure than he would havo had, had he been elected last year, will lend the persuasive eloquence of his silvery tongue, and Lieut. Gen. Woodford, who alack and alas has been left out in tho cold by his ungrateful party, aro also announced. It must be pleasant, however, in such infernal weather aa this, to be loft out in tho cold, and we presume ite out of pure gratitude that Mr. Woodford has consented to appoar.

by no manner of means guarantee the appearance of any of these parties. Nye has a bad habit of turning up missing, and it is really difficult to understand how any resident of Kings County can find the cheek, heart or physique on a day like this to stand up in the furnace like Academy for the purposo of arguing against hope, and in the face of certain and overwhelming defeat. AmusementSt Hoolets. Mr. Robert Craig, a comedian and burlesque actor who is nn established favorito in the city of Brotherly Lovo, made his debut last evening in connection with the Burlesque Company.

Tho bill included two pioces from Mr. C's own pen, in both of which he appeared to great advantage, securing a decidedly flattering reception. Mr. Craig is an actor of great merit, and cannot fail to becorao a favorite with the frequenters of the Opera Houso. His "Lovo made by Mimicry" is a little sketch put together to afford him an opportunity of exhibiting his powers as a mimic In it he givcB imitations of Charles Dickens, John Broughan Joe Jefferson and Stuart liobson, all of which are marvellously correct.

His "Stuart Robson" took tho house quite by storm last night, the applause and merriment it occasioned being so general that for somo time he had to await the return of silence. Tho imitations alone are well worth getting hot to see. In "FaUBt" Mr. Craig plays "Margucrito" with great humor. The performance commences with "The Irish Mesmoriser" with Donnelly in one of his Hibernian characters.

Fanny Davenport, Eborlio, Lena Edwin and Heed, aro all in the bills, than this nothing moro need bo said. Hooley in Philadelphia. From public and private sources wo hear continual good things about the Hooley people in Philadelphia. Wo cut the following from the ie It is an ordinary compliment to this band of minstrels that they are able to draw full houses during tho present hot weather. This thoy do.

Each evening a large audience is present, composed of ladies and gentlemen, who are entertained with.aongs, dances and jokes, which amuse, but do not offend. The latter feature cannot be too highly commended. It is a common practico for tho end men to cater for public approbation. This is never done at Hooley's, and hence ladies and children are seen among the audience in unusual proportions. Cool White has a natural aptitude for stage manager, and George Leslie leads the vocal department with taste and judgment This latter gentleman has a powerful, yet sweet voice, and his songs are nightly encored.

Hughes and Reed divide the applause by their droll eayingB and comic actions. E. M. Carroll is a valuable acquisition to the company. He sings well and dauccB as if thero were "lifo and mettlo in his heels." The great Lingard burlesque is a noteworthy portion of the performance this week.

Archy Hughes personates William Howard L. in a funny manner. His short introduction to each song, and the hasty exit is capital. He also sings Captain Jenks and Bitter Beer in such a manner aa to recall vividly the original John Mulligan, in the female line, does some "tall" burlesquing. This is the last week of tho Wild Fawn," and those who have not seen it must make a note of the fact.

Hooley's Minstrols can make all forget, for a season at least, ihe condition of the thermometer and paper Bhirt collars, and hence tho wisdom and philosophy of all visiting that establishment. Coney Island and the Rowdies. It is quite time that the authorities did something for tho protection of the women and children who seek the invigorating air, the salt water, and the aoft clams of Coney Island. We do not behove that disguised policemen aro as effective as officers in uniform. We know to a dead certainty that thieves and rowdies and scallawags in general dread tho presence of a shield, as naturally and as strongly as the better classes of the community hail it.

So far as tho detective system is concerned, we are glad to endorse it most heartily. Without detectlvoB, society would be at the mercy of pick pockets and swindlers of every guise with them society feels that a quiet eye of vigil enco is watching continually in ite interest. But for the control of rowdieH, for the overawing of men and women, who respect nothing but force, we think it would be well for the boats to bo provided all the time with two or three officers in uniform, while at the Island there should nevor be less than a dozen. Our police would have given tho rowdies a warm welcome last Sunday if they had dared to make their appearance on the boat. It is only by prompt and vigorous measures, such as Inspector Folk and his men wen understand, that these harpies can be kept under, under they should be, and under we believe they will be.

A female Robber. We have heard of female guerrillas and oaptains of banditti, hot never regarded them aa a success. They encumber tbcmeelvcB too much with hoops, flounces and waterfalls to move with the celerity necessary for a successful foray, and generally "break down" at the very moment when nerve and action are reqnired. This waa the case on Thura, day last, when an Amazon attempted to play the brigand on Tit ylor avenue. Madame Guissaz was alone in her cottage on Taylor avenue, half a mite west of the Abbey, when a woman of gigantic proportions and savage aspect appeared at tho door and aski for a drink of water.

Madame G. invited her into the parlor, and was preparing to get the desired daqcht, the woman said abe was very hungry, and would Ulce somo thing to eat. Madame G. invited ner to the kitchen, and wrs walking in advance of tho woman, when, looking baok, she observed her strange visitor draw a long gleaming knife from her bosom. Raising the knife in a threatening manner, the savage woman exclaimed, It ia not bread I want, but money." Madame G.

is noted among her acquaintances for her energy and courage, and althongh at first startled by the murderous demonstration of the woman, aha Quickly recovered her presence of mind; and springing to the corner of a room where a double shot gun wis standing, tho seized the weapon and leveled it at the female footpad. It was now the turn of the Amazon to feel frightened, and, turning upon her heel, she rushed out of the house and ran down the road aa fast as her flapping skirts would permit. She did not pause to look back untu she had placed a good quarter of i. mile between he sell and the brave lady shonid attempted to rob. St.

Louis Democrat, Jnly 8. White fish are now caught in immense quantities at the lake 15,000 or 20,000 each night. Hands to dress and barrels to preserve them are lacking. Speech of N. J.

Gates, Esq. A mass meeting the Republicans of the Tenth Ward to ratify the nomination of Grant and Colfax, was advertieed to take place last evening at tho hall corner of Smith and Atlantic streets iho meeting came off, but it was by no means a mass meeting. The weather, however, waa by no means favorable for the gatherinq of an aseemhlago, and though at one time thero wjro about thirty persons in tho halJ, it soon dwindled down to fourteen, by actual count. Previous to the speech, it was proposed to organize Grant and Colfax Club from t.he regular Ik publican Ward Association. This was agreed to, and the officers of tho Association were made the officers of tho Grant and Colfax Club.

Mr. D. T. Norton took tho chair, and after a def Mr. N.

J. Oaten, who spoko aa follows: He raid principles were greater than parties and mon. The high and liberal platform upon which the Republican party had built ite history, wero pure and higher than any party in the world; The principles of tho Blave holding rebellion, wore worse than tho worst man it devoloped. The scenes of tho massacre at Fort Pillow wero ulcers which were worse than the disease itself. He agreed that the issue was broad and square, that they knew upon what platform tho Democratic party Biood.

It stood just where it stood in 1852. If Chase had been nominated tho issue would not have been aB Bquaro aB it is. It may be Btrange in this enlightened ago, to consider that it was the purpose of the Republican party to abolish and exterminate slavery, and that it was responsible for the carnage and blood of tho last eight years. It is needless to say that this is false, still, every vote cast for Horatio Seymour will be cast men who believe that, if the Republican party had not taken this position, the blood and carnage might have been averted. He had heard a delegate Bay in tho Union Place Hotel, that no man had passed from this world, who waa lees respected than Abraham Lincoln, or who was more responsible for the lives of hundred thousands of men.

In fact, thoy endeavored to throw tho obliquy upon the Republican party. He defied any Democrat to place his finger upon one word, line or resolution uttered by the Republican party that tended to interfere with the constitutional rights of the State. On the contrary, in 1852 and '56 they promised not to do so. Tho party in '60 'said the same thing, but said as the Constitution was Bilent on the question of slavery in territories they thought it belonged to Congress to say whether it should be carried into the territories. The party proposed only to legislate upon tho extension of Blavery in the territories.

This was the issue, and ho thought it was cowardly whon defeated, to attempt to break up tho Union. They ought to have withdrawn first, and then they would have gainod tho respect of tho North. Tho Republican party wero successful, now have they been true to their principles? Ho declared that the principles of the jDcmocratic party to day, were tho principles of States' rights, and porpotuity of Blavery. Be assumed that it was in accordance with the cherished principles of Calhoun. Lincoln said if he could save Union and slavery, thon ho would save both but, if to save the Union slavery muBt be destroyed, then slavery must go, and it was only when it becamo a military necessity that the Emancipation Proclamation was issned.

The re establishing of the Union was the only object, and now our enemies turn on ub and charge us with trampling them under our fee and subverting civil to military law. Ho then referred to the financial issue aud spoko of tho giving of money to the war by capitalists who took the pledges of the government, especially of the 5 20. On the face of these, he said it is not especially Bpcclfled what those were to be paid in the agents were told by the Secretary of the Treasury in gold. The assumption is that they are to be paid in cold. Wo believe thn Out.

ernment intended thorn to bo paid in gold. It was believed by tho framers of our platform iu Chicago. Another inducement was offered and that was that these bonds were not to be taxed. He believed the idea of the movement must be carried out. Tho principle an 1 interest must be paid in gold.

The Democrats say in their platform, that these bonds should be taxed. There may bo plausible justico in tho argument, but it has nothing to do with tho question. Because, the government in its agony, promised aud a3ked for thorn on thoso conditions. Ho called it aa flagrant a repudiation as if they refused to pay the full valuo of the abtes. Tho greenbacks wore but promises to pav.

Ho asked if a man owing a note Bhould offer another of a different rate of interest whether this note would be paid. There are uojt enough greenbacks in tho country to pav off these bonds if they are taken up in this way. But au other issue would have to be made, bo the currency would be inflated. This is tho financial economy of the Democrats. Who are tho Democratic candidates who propose to administer tho principles of tho Democratic platform.

There were some forty or fifty of the officers, civil and military, of the ex Confederacy at this Convention; they came with thoir hands dripping with the blood of our citizens. He did not want them to dictate as to who should be tho man to administer the Government. He said it was the purpose of the Democratic party to undo what the Union soldiers had done at a great sacrifice of life. They propose to show that their principles are States' rights, and they propose to show that they mean tho perpetuity 0f slavery. He knew tho World had endeavored to bring Grant, the groat conqueror of the Nineteenth Century, into contempt, in comparison with the leaders of the rebel Army.

Horatio Seymour, he said, is a representative man of the party. A man who did all he could to prove to tho people that the war was a failure. He Bpoko of the platform of said it was framed by Vallandigham and Seymour. They in that document said the war was a failure, and wanted a cessation of hostilities. Well, Grant compelled them to do so quicker than they thought.

It was the power of Seymour and such men that Grant had to overcome. It was not tho rebellion that Grant conquered, but tho Chicago platform that he conquered. Ho then Bpoke of Seymour in the Academy of Music speech on the 4th of Julj and asked if he had alluded to the soldiors who were suffering at that timo for tho Union. Ho closed by saying that though tho party were saying the nominations wero not satisfactory, yet, it would not do for them to bo idle, and think they had only to walk over the course it would uot do and finished by urging them to use every means possible to elect Grant aud Colfax.

The Radicals and the Public Creditors. The debate on the Funding Bill in the Senate yesterday will command the attention of all who are interested in the mainte nance of the financial credit and honor of the Government, for it proves that the party in power is not able to protect the creditors of the Government from the danger to whioh they have been mainly instrumental in exposing them. Impatience under burthensome taxation is for obvious reasons most marked in the Western section of the Republic. The profitable National banking business is for the most part confined to the East. The high tariffs for which the maintenance of the public credit is offered as an excuse, is in inimical to Western interest, and as if to aggravate the evil the present Congress has remitted twenty millions annually collected from manufacturers, while the maintenance of the old rate of duties on imports excludes the Eastern manufacturers from competition from abroad, and entitles them to charge as profit the amount remitted in taxes.

If the Government had been promptly re stored to its normal condition at the close of the war, one of two things would have followed. If taxes had been maintained at their present rate, the debt could have been reduced one third for the official figures show that an amount equal to one third of the National Debt has been squandered within the past three years in maintaining staudin? armies, Freedmen's Bureaus, and other schemes de vised for no other purpose than to secure for the party administering the Government control over the political power of the South, era States, to the end that they might maintain their present ascendancy. In view of this rapid progress of liquidation, all sections would have been content, for it would be seen that in a very few years the Kepublic would have been able to boast that it was the only nation in the world which had ever attempted even to wipe out a great national debt by honestly and speedily paying its creditors. If the money squandered for party purposes had been applied, as it should have been, to the reduction of the debt, the greenback would long since have passed current at its face value, for the promissory note of a creditor seen to be not merely solvent, but intent on paying at once his obligations, would have been as good as gold in the commercial centres of the world. If this course had been pursued, the question of paying the debt of the United States in one sort of currency rather than another would have never been raised to perplex the public conscience, and to benefit the non interested or the venal.

If, on the other hand, it had been decided to defer the liquidation of the debt to a future period and to raise no more money from the people than was necessary to pay the expenses of the government, economically administered, and the interest due on the principal of our debt, taxation could have been bo far reduced that the relief from public burthens in this shape would have satisfied the people of every section. In order to carry out its own miserable schemes, the party in power have been compelled to keep up taxation to a war standard while not a dollar of the vast sums wrung from the people have been applied to the liquidations of the public debt. The result of this policy of making the debt the sole pretext for burthensome taxation has driven a portion of our people to consider the question of avoiding, in one form or another, the just obligations the government has incurred, and in the "West this policy has taken so strong a hold upon the people that the party in power are already afraid to resist it. In the debate on the Funding bill yesterday in the Senate, the most conspicuous representative of the Radical party at the West, (Senator Morton of Indiana,) read a prepared speech in advocacy of the payment of the bonds in lawful money of the United States greenbacks." The five twenties," he contended, were a part of the public debt for which the government declares such notes will be lawful money and a legal ten der." He scouted the idea that the Secretary of the Treasury or any other officer of the Government could add anything to the force of public statutes, and in this case he said ''they were in direct conflict'' with them." In closing his prepared speech Senator Morton declared "that the delusion "held out before the country that these bonds "are to be paid in coin can only work disaster "by causing people to base their hopes on "false impressions. This question in his "opinion, shouldbe frankly met." Thefollow ing remarks made by the Senator during the debate which followed, the Tribune, we notice, finds it convenient to suppress: "Mr.

Morton, in leply to a romarli by Mr. reference to the iufluenco of sectionalism upon the views of Senators said he wishod the Senators would meet tho arguments, upon, the legal construction of the Btatutes rather than indulge in declamation. He pro tisted against the llepublican party being committed to this dogma of the payment of the bonds in coin, when no lawyer could point out any authority for it in the statutes." The truth seems to be the Radical mismanagement has already created a strong feeling among the people of the West in favor of relieving themselves in some way of the burthens of taxation. It is not confined to either party as is shown by the fact that the Senator from Indiana does not desire to place his party in antagonism to it. Eepudiation will follow when the sentiment in favor of it is so strong that political parties will be afraid to resist it.

Under Eadical rule we have been rapidly brought face to face with this contingency. The way to avert it is not by passing high sounding resolutions to do what no party can do. It is by changing the policy of the government. The attempt to retain for the negroes of the South the unnatural position into whioh they have been foisted, will render the maintenance of standing armies at the South always necessary. The effort to alienate the blacks of the South from the white race of that section will compel the continuance of Freedmen's Bureaus, for the Eadicals will not be any more willing to let go their hold on the government four years from now than they are to day.

The way to reduce taxation is to restore the government to its normal condition. The way to silence the talk of repudiation is to lessen the public burthens. The Democrats mean to pay the public creditor. The government while under our control paid the debt contracted in the war for independence. The government while in our hands paid the debt accumulated in the two wars against England.

We intend to pay the existing debt, and we intend to make the credit of the government by doing so as good as gold. But we ask the public creditor to do his part in enabling us to remove from power an unscrupulous party which is squandering the public money in selfish schemes. It cannot be his interest to compel us to squander two hundred millions of dollars a year, as we have been doing, in bolstering up party power in the South. With the election of Governor Seymour we can get back to a cheap government, for we mean to allow each State to manage its own affairs, pay its own way, and to suffer its people to vote for whichever political party they may deem best. If the government can be perverted from it, real purpose, as it has been for four years past neither party will be strong enough to resist repudiation, for the people will not be plundered without seeking relief by fair means or ford.

The Butlers, the Stevenses, and the Mortons will be the first to recognize as inevitable a calamity they themselves will bring about if the people in view of the past entrust them with a power they have abused. In such an event it is even doubtful if the public creditor, who votes for a continuance of Radical folly, will be justified in complaining of knavery his vote will have helped to encourage. This is trying weather to weak humanity, which cannot obey the injunction to suffer and be strong. The thermometer has here reached ninety seven degrees, whioh somebody has proclaimed to be the hottest weather experienced in fourteen years. But this announcement, or one similar, is made every season.

There is no doubt, however, about its being very hot. It may be some consolation to know that Brooklyn is about the coolest city in the country. From the telegraphio reports from other localities, we find in regard to what it has done and is doing, and what obligations it is incurring in the name of the city, the Board of Aldermen unanimously adopted the suggestion of his Honor to call on the Commissioners to respond in detail to each question, within ten days. Still more important than this is the action of the Corporation Counsel. In a letter to the Mayor, he not only vindicates Mr.

Ealbfieisch from the attack made on him in the forged letter of W. P. Lange which appeared in our columns, in regard to the Nicolson pavement on Clinton street, but goes on to question the. constitutionality of the Clinton street Act itself, upon grounds which apply equally to all of the special Commissions appointed by the Legislature, byname, for ropaving streets in this oity. Acting upon this advice of the Counsel, it is to be presumed that the financial officers of the city will issue no more bonds and pay no more bills of these Street Commissions and hence an end will be put to the mischievous pranks of the Fourth avenue Commission and the other caricatures of public functionaries who have been wasting the public money and spoiling the city streets.

Mr. McCue's opinion, as we understand it, does not affect the Park, Wallabout, or even the Gowanus Canal Commission. It is based on the clause of the State Constitution which was relied on against the Metropolitan Police Act. In that case the Legislature evaded the constitutional prohibition against appointing local officers, by making a district composed of several cities and counties. In the case of these special commissions the duty of street pavinhelongs to the local authorities of a single city, and cannot be transferred from them by the Legislature, except to persons elected by the people of the city, or appointed by the local authorities thereof Seymour Amongf the People.

Gov. Seymour has returned to his home at Utica. All along the line of his route he was received with marked respect and enthusiasm. The fact that he was on board the train was telegraphed from town to town, and notwithstanding the short notice given, crowds of citizens met at every station to welcome New York's most distinguished statesman, and the next President of the United Rer public. At Schenectady the firing of cannon announced the arrival of the train and the people who crowded round the cars cheered enthusiastically.

Governor Seymour came forward and bowed his acknowledgements for the unexpected welcome. The Governor is suffering from diptheria, and apology was made for him that he could not address the people without serious risk to his health. At Amsterdam and Palatine Bridge, these scenes were repeated, and amid thefiring waving of banners, and the cheers of the exultant populace, the train passed on. Where Seymour is known best he is beloved most, and at Utica, his home, an ovation awaited him in which the citizens without dis tinction of party seem to have joined. Flags floated from all the public buildings, from the places of business and from the most conspicuous private residences.

Cannon were fired, bells were rung, bands of music discoursed el oquent strains, when the Governor alighted from the platform among his friends jpnl neighbors, who assembled by thousands to cheer the next President. Judge Denio, late of the Court of Appeals, on behalf of the people, welcomed the Governor in the following brief address Governor Seymour: A number of vour townsman and fellow citizens casually assembled here to tender you a hearty welcome to your home. Our meeting today is especially interesting on account of the evenfe of the last week. These have nlaced vou in a neculiar no sition beforo the country. (Cheers.) As a candidate for the highest position in the nation, your name is made a rallying point of that large portion of our people who, with me, attribute the difficulties and dangers of our political and financial situation which cannot well bo exaggerated to the unwise proceedings, amounting to infatuation, of tho existing legislative branch of our national Government.

We are cratifled that tho choice of the Convention has fallen upon you, and wo anticipate with confidence that their nomination will bo ratified by the people. (Great cheering.) Amid tremendous cheering Governor Sey mour responded as follows I have been very Grateful for tho marks of itood will which I have received from the representatives of the Democratic party of all the StateB in this Union, but this exhibition of kindness and partiality from my own townsmen impresses itself upon my heart most deeply of all. (Cheers.) During the whole course of my life I have received from them, without distinction of party, proofs of good will that I Bhall ever cherish with gratitude during tho remainder of my existence. (Cheers.) I am now suf lenng lrom a violent innammation my throat which my physician advises me, makes it dangerous to speak in tho open air, but at the risk of my life I must thank you for this striking and gratifying proof of your good will and partiality towards me. (Loud cheoring.) The Governor, followed by the enthusiastic crowd, immediately left for his farm house amid the Deerfield hills, and from thence his people propose to call him to preside over the destinies of the Farmers' Republic" simp, economic and free.

TOPICS OIF TO The Schutezenfest having concluded, the rhetorically gorgeous Tribune man has gone back to Washington, and signalizes his return to duty by an account of a "third party movement." He says Chief Justice Chase is assured of his strength in several sections, and urged to run as an independent candidate, on the wild assumption that "Seymour is anxious to withdraw, and that he wants hut a reasonable excuse to do so." This will do for a beginning. The Tribune man is good enough to say that "he doesn't attach much importance" to his statements. loaders will at tach still less. The Senate yesterday was occupied with the Funding bill. In the House Boyden and Dockery, North Carolina Eepresentatives, we're sworn and took their seats.

Butler, through Ashley, unsuccessfully tried to get through a bill taxing the inter est on United States bonds. The Tariff bill was debated. The House passed a resolution setting apart the evening sessions for speech making. Pursuant to this a number of members delivered addresses on a variety of subjects last night. BusineBB at the New York dog pound has im proved of late.

A brokerage system has been perfected, and hlack and tans, greyhounds, poo dleB, and curs of low degree" are quoted as regularly as Erie, Illinois Central, Pacific Mail, and mining stocks.

The widow of John Leech died recently. The death, thus recalled, of the humorous artist was a serious loss to many people. In the first place it was felt by the conductors of Punch, who of late years have not had much wit to spare.

Aside from its admirable full page cartoons, Punch is living on its reputation. In the next place it followed as of course that lovers of the comic in literature and art should miss the genial pencil of the man of genius who had contributed much to their pleasurable instruction. Narrowing the circle the loss was especially realized by the immediate family of the artist. As ofton happens, Leech left behind him little but his record as written in hiB works. It is a slight recognition of Leech's worth that the pension paid to his widow on his account has been continued to his children.

The Greenwich street elevated railway company had an election of directors yesterday, and resolved to push the work on the road. It is expected to be finished as far as Thirtieth street by September next, and will be extended to Yonkers in about two years. The benevolent Bergh, pursuant to his plan of practical beneficence, haB caused to be placed on Forty second street and Tenth avenue, thoroughfares much resorted to by drovers and their herds, a large trough, where dry animala may quench their thirst. This is thoughtful and worthy of all praise. But will not Bergh or Bomebody else earn the gratitude of human creatures as well as dumb beaBts by providing abundant fountains, where men, women and children, as.

well as horses, cows and sheep, may drink? It is remarkable that those worthy citizens who never tire of singing the praises of water as an exclusive beverage do not adopt measures to enable their fellow citizens to get easily and freely what is so good for them. The prof es Bional temperance people seem never to inquire how many parched and perspiring individuals swallow beer and bourbon because they cannot get Croton or Eidgowood. Total abstainers say the pure, sparkling, and so orth fluid supplied by nature is superior to any manufactured article. Why not aid nature in conducting its generous streams to thirsty throats? Even those who think there are other excellent things as well as water would approve such policy. The life of a car or omnibus horse is at no time one of inglorious ease, and just now it is conspicuously tmentdcing.

During tho rough winter weather, when tracks wbto covered with ice and snow, and when blood freezing breezes swept over the avenues, the nimftfa had cause of complaint, but now, when the dense and prostrating heat is often unrelieved by breezes of any sort, they may well regard their sufferings as intolera siasm. Governor Seymour, compelled by indisposition, and the advice of his physician to avoid excitement and exposure, Bpoke a few kindly and appropriate words to the assembled crowd. The retiring Bomero made his farewell official speech to the President yesterday. He referred to the United States in favorable and even complimentary terms, and kindly promised when he went home to do all he could for this country and its principles. This is generous, and cordial, and.

altogether in excellent temper, but we are not without evidence that Mexico's own affairs will serve to keep Bomero and his fellow citizens too busy to devote much time to the Unjted States. But what about those little bills? Sumner having discovered in Milton's work something in support of the funding of the pub lio debt and a return specie payments introduced it in a speech in the Senate on Saturday. The subject under discussion was the bill introduced by Sherman who spoke in its favor. Tha bill providing for the discontinuance of the Freedmen's Bureau was passed. BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Brooklyn, July 3, 1868.

To the Hon. the Board of Aldermen Gentlemen I return, without my approval, the resolution adopted by your Honorable Body, on the 22d of June, confirming the nomination of Mr. John Cassidy as Clerk of tho Sixth district Justice's Court, and fixing his salary at twelve hundred dollars, for the following reasons The Act of May 7, 1808, establishing the Sixth District Court, and creating the office of the Justice of the Peace for the said District, very minutely describes tho powers and duties of the Justice, his qualifications, the location of his office, the time for holding Court and the compensation to be paid him. No where can I find any allusion to the supplying him with a clerk. Hundreds of Justices of the Peace in this State perform their duties without such assistance, and it appears to me very evident from reading the act that the employment of a clerk for that district waa'hot contemplated.

On due reflection I have no doubt your Hon. body will also see the inconsistency of paying a person, whose duties are of a mere clerical character performed under tho direction of the Justice, twelve hundred dollars a year for three hours in the evening, while the ustice, who is required to be an attorney of the Supremo Court of this State, has his salary fixed by the act at five hundred dollars. I am moreover convinced that the office would be a mero sinecure, and as the citv is already heavily taxed for salaries paid without receiving an equivalent in return, I cannot give my assent to a further increase of their number. Mabtis Kalbfleisou, Mayor. THE CITT AND THE SPECIAL COMMISSIONS.

The Mayor sent in the following communication Mayor's Office,) Brooklyn, July 6th, 1868. To the Honorable the Board of A Mermen Gentlemen The law confers on the Common Coun cil the authority to require from the Commissioners appointed by the Legislature for tho improvement of jstreota, such detailed reports of their transactions with a view to some measure of supervisions and chesk being exer ragea over inese Doaies Dy me people ana tnerr local representatives. Some time ago your Hon. body called on these Commissions to report. Some responded only after great delay if at all others replied ourso rily, if not even contemptuously, so that no satisfactory information could bo elicited from their Only in one or two instances were tho reports of a nature to satisfy in any degree the just anxiety of tho Common Council and the tax payers to know what these Commissioners have done and are engaged in doing.

I need naraiy reraina your honorable noay oi the importance of a clear perception being had by the public of the works which are being carried on in the name and at the expense of tho city by these commissions. Your Hon. body has already discovered in some instances that steps are being taken by some of these bodios, which are wholly at variance with the established order of tho city. To day we see on Fourth avenue such an extensive and apparently wanton, costly, and reckless interference with the established city grades, as to render a number of our streets impaBBahle and to damage and render useless some of our publio buildings on that avenue. It is manifest, therefore, that the time has arrived for the city government to understand fully all that is being done by Stroet Commissions.

A mere resolution of inquiry, to be answered by each commission at its own time and in its own fashion, is of no value. It is needful that wo shoujd obtain simultaneously from them aU reports capable of comparison with each other, in order that a basis may be laid for future legislation calculated to harmonize the plans of these various works, and establish some uniform Bystem of public improvement to prevent the recurrence of BUch collision between the plans of tho public city authorities and thoso of special commissions, as nas already occurred and may again arise. I would respectfully suggest, therefore, tho adoption of a reso ln ion calling on all Street Commissions to report to your nonoraDie ooay. within a rcasouame penou, say ten days from the date of the passage of the resolution. specific answers to some series of queries, ao that the information we obtain may be precise and systematic, and present opportunity for comparison and discussion.

The following qucsiions Bhould, in my judgment, be asked, with such others as it may seem to your honorable body proper to add thereto I. Who are the present members of the Commission 1 II. What is the nature of the work with which the Commission is intrusted III. What is the total amount of indebtedness which it is authorized by law to incur IV. How much of this indebtedness has been already incurred, by issue of City Bonds or otherwise V.

Who are in the receipt of salaries under the Commission, and what is the respective salary of each employee VI. What money has been paid for legal services and to whom respectively VII. Who has boon employed for engineering services, and what amount has each received VIIL What contracts have been entered into what payments hav been made to contractors what amounts remain payable on tho contracts and what further contracts will bo needed in ordor to complete the work of which the Commissioners are in chargo IX. What changes, if any, have been made in tho established city grade 1 X. What street regulations, differing from the general city ordinances, have boen made by the Commission 1 XI.

Whether any payment has been made or liabilihi incurred, excepting the foregoing, that is to say, ad? ditional to payment of contractors, lawyers, engineers, and the salaried clerks and inspectors. SIT. When do the commissioners expect to have the work complete, and at what total cost? XIII. Upon whom does tho liability fall, and in what proportions, of ultimately contributing to the repayment of the Bonds or other obligations yitercd into by the city in supplying means for the execution of the works? XTV What in the judgment of the Commissioners will be the probable assessment per lot upon unimproved property upon the line of the improvement, necessary to defray such proportion of the cost as the property immediately benefitted is liable to pay? All cf these questions, excepting the last, relate to matters of fact upon which the Commissioners are best able to inform us. The last may be objected to as of a speculative character, but ite importance arises from tho fact that we aro limited by law in the amount of Assessment for local improvements, that wo can levy upon private property: and if tho work in any case is of too costly a character, tho city at large will be the Bufferer, aa we shall' not be able to recover the amount charged upon the property benefitted.

I trust your honorable body will perceive the necessity, if we are to carry on tho financial affairs of the city hereafter with any degree of order and economy, of ascertaining thus definitely how far the city's credit is being pledged by parties outside tho municipal government proper, and for what purposes and what prospect exists of the city treasury being repaid its advances on account of those local improvements, which amount already to an enormous sum. When those facts are elicited I doubt not that our representatives in tho next legislature will make them the groundwork of some coherent legislation, calculated to extricate the city from the embarrassments in which the fragmentary actB of special legislation passed in latd years have entangled us. Respectfully submitted, Martin Kalbfleisoh, Mayor. President Bergen said some months ago the Common Council propounded a general resolution of inquiry to' the various Commissions. One or two answered pretty fully, but most of them reported so vaguely that it was impossible for this Board to ascertain how much money they had expended and for what objects.

The design of the drawing up a list of specific inquiries was that it shouldbe known what theBe Commissions wero doing and in order to effect this object ho would move that the city Clerk be directed to transmit copies of the questions suggested by the Mayor to each Commission in charge of any street or avenue, requiring that answers to each question in detail be furnished within ten days The motion was unanimously agreed to.

Nor did I ever make, so far as my memory serves, elthor to your predecessor or yourself, any verbal suggestion that the pavements were not in accordance with law." I have never beon applied to by any Officer of the City Government, for an opinion, in relation to tho matter, cither written or verbal, and I did not know until within a few days, and since the date of our conversation to which I shall presently rofer, that any payments had been made on account of the work. Recently, however, my attention having beon called to a late decision of tho Court of AppealB, which holds the act conferring upon the Board of Metropolitan Police the power to grant licenses unconstitutional, upon the ground that it conferred upon officers not elected by the people, or appointed by any local authority, the exercise of powers which were strictly local and municipal in their application, and which had always been possessed and exercised by purely city officers I was induced to examine the question with reference to the application of the principle of that decision to the many acts whioh have been passed creating special commissions for the grading and paving of streets in. this city.

Rogarding the question as a very serious one, and deserving the most thorough examination and now for the first timo raistd, I called your attention to tho mattor and consulted with you as to the propriety of advising the Comptroller to make no payments upon the Clinton street contract until such examination of the question could be made. I understood you to say. that you would soe the Comptroller and so advise him. I made no memorandum of tho date of our conversation, but as tho matter is quito fresh in my mind, I am satisfied that it was subsequent to the 4th day of June last. The Clinton street act provides that the expenses incurred thereunder "shall bo levied and collected in the same manner as now provided by law, with reference to grading and paving streets in Brooklyn." This involves the fixing of a district of assessment by the Common Council, and tho right of owners of property within the district to remonstrate; until a district has been fixed, no assessment can be if it should happen that no satisfactory District can be moan one against which a majority of owners shall not remonstrate, tho city will be compelled to bear the entire expense of this improvement, unloss relieved by further legislation.

In the ordinary case of a local improvement, under the city charter tho Common Council is required to fix the District of Assessment and to advertise for remonstrances against tho same, before any such improvement or work shall be ordered or determined upon by tho Common Council. This provision iB a protection against the difficulty which may attend the Clinton street improvement, and should have been followed by tho Commissioners named in the Clinton street Act before thoy made any contract for tho work. I am of the opinion that there is very great doubt as to the Constitutionality of the Clinton street Act, and that the Commissioners have proceeded irregularly, and in view of the great opposition to this particular improvement on tho part of those who aro likoly to be assessed for the same, I do not hesitate to advise you to sign no bonds which may bo issued upon this improvement, until those questions have been determined by the Courts. Yours respectfully, A. MoCue, Atty.

and Counsel to the City of Brooklyn. This correspondence and the other communications from the Mayor, were ordered to bo filed and printed in the minutes of the Board's proceedings. A complaint from the Board of Health respecting nuisances in the basement of the City Hall, was referred to the Committee on Lands and Places. Aid. Whitney, the Chairman of the Committee, stated that the evils complained of were already being abated.

A largo number of proposals for various works were received, read, and ordered to be published. It was ordered by a two thirds vote, on motion of Aid. Guck to shorten tho period of advertising in these instances, so that the contracts might all be awarded next Monday, prior to the adioumment of the Hoard for tho holidays. A resolution by Aid. Whitney providing for the annual recess of the Board, was laid on the table for a week.

It proposes an adjournment from the third Monday of July to the 2d Monday in September. During this period all the city offices, excopt the Collector of Taxes, aro to he kept open only from 9 a. to noon tho Collector's office is to be open the usual hours, with at least one person attendance and if special meeting be convened during tho recess, the business transacted shall be confined to tho matters specified in the call. Aid. Finehout moved that the legal notice be given of the intention of the Common Council to extend tho firo limits in the Seventh Ward so as to add to them the district bounded by Washington avenue.

Gates avenue. Bedford avenue, and Lafayetto avenue. Adopted. On motion of Alderman Finehout the Brooklyn Gas Company were directed to lay gas mains and pipes on all the streets of the Seventh Ward where not already laid. A number ofrnlit blocks in the vicinity of Grand avenue, Gates avenue and other streets in the Seventh Ward were also ordered to have gaB lamps oroctcd upon them.

A number of ordinances were passed for filling low lots and ponds, and other improvements in the Eighth, Seventeenth, Tooth, and other Wards. Among them was one for filling the large pond between Fourth and Fifth avenues, where the recent fata ity occurred. BOOK BLASTING. Ald.McGroarty moved an amendment of tho ordinance relative to blasting rocks. forbids blasting of rockB within tho city except by a special permit from the Mayor specifying the hour at which the blasting Should take place.

Discussion occurred, some of the Aldermen being of ihe opinion that it would be better to fix a specific hour in the ordinance. Aid. Whiting suggested that the hours might be fixed, Bubject to the Mayor giving a Bpecial permit for other hours in exceptional cases. Aid. Brady pointed ont tho difference between tho circumstances of some of the outer wards, where there were no houses nor streets in the vicinity, and other wards which were thickly populated and built up.

Aid. McGroarty said he had introduced the resolution because the present ordinance permitted blasting be tween 6 and 9 A. when children were about tho streets and vacant lots bof ore going to school; and he had known many narrow escapes from loss of life in his ward, from this cause. Aid. O'Keeffe advocated tho adoption of Alderman McGroarty's resolution, because by giving permits, tho Mayor could got a list of the persons onsasod in blast ing, and if an accident occurred, tho party responsible for it could be ascertained.

The motion of Aid. McGrcarty was adopted. THE FOUETH OB JULY CELEBRATION. Aid. McGroarty mOTel a voto of thanks to tho Fourth of July Celebration Committee for tho magnificent display of fire works, and the general mana gement of U1D LDtDUlDkJUili Aid.

Whiting demurred. He said the fire works wore a very respectable and verv Good exhibition, thmirrh thore was some sameness in the designs but it was not outitled to be called magnificent," and if that worn was not cnangea, no snouia vote against the resolution. Aid. O'Keeffe suKcested that if Alderman Whitinc demurred, his name could bo left out, and the thanks confined to the other members of the Committee. On motion or Alderman Fishor the whole subject was laid on the table.

BEPOBTS OF COMMITTEES. A number of reports of committees were read and approved. Some of them were from tho Grading and Paving Committee, of Alderman Daniels is Chairman, awarding contracts for atroot improvements in various porta of the city. There was one allowing CharleB Goodwin and others to grade and pave Middle ton street, from Broadway to Harrison avenue, at their own expense, provided the work be done subject to the approval of the city officers. The Law Committee, the Lands Committee, aud some minor committees presented reports on various matters of little public interest, which wero adopted.

Tho particulars of these matters appoar in the official minutes. FOBTY THIBD PRECINCT STATION HOUSE. On motion of Alderman Bergen, the Comptroller was directed to offer for sale by auction, with duo notice by advertisements and posting bills, the old Forty third Precinct Station House, on Court street, near Butler street, and to dispose of the same to the highest bidder. The Union Street Fraud No Nicolson. A meeting was held last evening at tho corner of Court and Sackett streets, to oppose tho laying down of the Nicolson pavement upon Union street.

There was a good attendance of the persons interested. Mr. John W. Greaton occupied the chair, and Mr. George C.

White acted as secretary. The chairman in opening the meeting stated that a fraud had been attempted on Union street. A notice had, some time ago, been put in the papers, calling a meeting of the property owners. He (tho chairman) went to the meeting, and found Messrs. Armstrong and Blacklin thore.

After being in the meeting some time he moved the appointment of a com mitteo of Eeven to apply to the Legislature for permission to improve the street. That being carried, he asked the chairman, Mr. Stranahamto appoint the committee, when Mr. 8. said "thoy would fix it" Six members then went into a little room and talked for some time, his (the chairman's) name was proposed but Mr.

Blacklin opposed it, as ho said no one was wanted on "the committee who was opposed to the Nicolson Pavement. Of the committee finally appointed six out of the eeven were tho men who had met in the little room. It was understood that these gentlemen would call another meeting, but no such meeting was ever held, but they at once applied to the Legislature, and got an act passed for the improvement of tho street, and appointing a commission to carry it out. He waB glad to be able to inform tho meeting that an injunction had beon served upon the commission that very day, and that he had commenced an action against thorn. The act (which Mr.

Greaton read) was an unconstitutional one, inasmuch as it embraced three distinct matters, paving, widening, and changing name, whereas a constitutional act could only cover one matter. Mr. Greaton then reed a communication from Mr. McCue, the Corporation Counsel, to tho Mayor, with regard to the NicolBon pavement on Clinton street, in which ho says the laying down is illegal. Mr.

Greaton said that if it was illegal to lay down the pavement in Clinton Btreet when it was contended a majority of the owners were in ite power, it must be illegal to put it down in Union streot, where three fourths of the owners aro opposed to it. While Mr. Greaton waa away from home somo agent of the Nicolson Company erne to his house and took up his gutter stones, at the Bame time scooping out tho soil, so that the water might find its way into Mb cellar. Tho Chairman then read tho following: We, tho householders and owners do horeby agree to pay our proportion of tho expenses 'and coots (not to exceed fifteen dollars on each 25 foot lot), of oppoBing the laying of the so called Nicolson pavement in Union street, and do hereby request to have an injunction obtained in our behalf and carried to tho Court of Appeals if necessary by our counsel. The Secretary then read an article on the subject from yesterday's Eagle, which was prefaced by the Chairman announcing that it was a very fair statement.

Mr. Dominions Voorheee here entered the meeting, and was asked by the Chairman to state hiB views, Mr. Voorhees said ho had 200 feet on the street and he wanted it paved with Nicolson pavement, he thought it would be an improvement to his property. A property owner here Bald there were EOir.e 2,000 feet represented in the meeting but ho supposed that was nothing to Mr. V's 200 feet.

The chairman said he behoved in the majority rule, and did not behove in one tenth forcing a BWindle upon the rest. A resolution was then carried that all present who felt inclined should sign an agreement to fight the mat tor in the Court of Appeals it necessary, and that all signing should pay a sum not less than $5. Somo 20 nsmes were at once taken, and an equivalent amount of money subscribed. Tho following gentlemen were appointed on Executive Committee to carry on tho business of the organization: Messrs. Thos.

Cline, (Chairman), N. Butler, Murray, Green, Gilbert, Wallaco, and Kilpatrick. Th'emeeting then adjourned. The entire ceiling of the cupola in the Senate's library of Luxembourg, painted by Eugene Delacroix, has fallen down with a great crash and is broken into a thousand fragments. Bostonians enjoyed an original feather in their Fourth of July celebration, namely, the appearance of Mayor Shnxtleff on horseback.
