Providing Badge for the Mayor. Directing tho Unfinished Portions of the Dam to be Faced Information Wanted from Justices. A regular weekly mooting of the Board of Aldermen was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Jno. French, President, in the ohair. Tho mlnutoa ol tho last mooting ware road and approved.

LAMPS AND OAS. Tho Board proceeded to diaonaa tho following which had been oflorod at tho laat meeting and made the apeciil order immediately after tho reading of the tulnutc Resolved, That tho Board of City Works be and it hereby 1b empowered and directed to cause tbo lighting of two thousand Btreet lampB to be discontinued in auoh parts of the oity aa in their Judgment auoh lighting can be properly dlapensod with, without detriment to the publio Interests and safety. Aid. Griawold offered tho following as an amendment I Resolved, That the Commissioners of City Works bo and they ate hereby directed to have the lighting of elghtoon hundrod street lamps diaoontlnuod in audi localities, as in the boat Judgment of eatd Commissioners may conduce to tho oity'B interest, and cause tho lamp serrico to discontinued lo bo capped. Aid.

Murtha said it seemed to him that the Common Council, having gone ao far In tho matter, and the ro nort showing that thoy had reached about 1,500 IsmpB, he thought it would be hotter to adopt the report as amended rather than send the whole subject to the Board of City Works. Aid, Hill withdraw hia resolution and moved the adoption of the report as amended by tho various Aldermen on Monday last. Aid. Fronch said he had taken Bpeolal pains to look into tho matter and was convinced they wero not prepared to act then. The Board should Investigate ur thoror groat injustice would bo done to many of the wards.

Homo of the wards had not boen as liberal in thoir reductions as thoy might havo been. In Union Btreci and Third street the Iampa wero closer together than the ordinanco allowed they wero only aeventy flvo feet apart and many of them could bo extinguished aud no injustice "be dono to the ward. He thought the matter should go back to tho Committee and an appropriation be made in order to allow thorn to go round and inako a personal examination of the localities. Aid Shopard said no ono expeoted that tho three gentlomen of tho Board of City Works would over go and make a personal inspection. What they would do would be to send an inspoctor to do it.

He thought tho lamps rooommended to bo out off should'bs out off, and then an inspection might bo mado. Aid. Bowloy wanted to know whethor ho moant that tho report Bhould bo adopted with tbo amendments reoommendod by Tom, Dick and Harry a week ago 1 Aid. Shopard said when tho Aldorman from the Sov onth talked about Tom, Diok and Harry, he was ono of them. When roraarka were mado membors should undorstand ihat tho Board must bo treated with re to the Shoriff's Fee bill, and a Republican defeat of the anti Dempcratio Charter bilL These two events took plaoe, and when all the incidents to a log roll are present, the log which did the rolling con bo evolved with more ease than the German evolves his camel, out of his inner consciousness.

We think therefore that a "Committee "to Inquire How the Sheriff's Fee BUI Did "Pass," might find out "Why the Charter Bill "Did Not Pass." We seenothing to regret in the defeat of a charter bill whioh gloved a grabbing hand with the kid of reform. We seo much to regret in the passage of the Sheriff's Foe bill, in which the grabbing hand was that of a man, not a party, and the hand not evon gloved. We advise an inquiry into these coincidences and then the reading of how Welter, spilled the voters into the canal at tho very spot where the man who gave him the 50 note told him to be especially caro ful not to spill them. The Slicpherd and tlie tVatcn The large and respectable congregation meeting in Apollo Hall, Eastern District, were, for some little time on Sunday morning, as sheep having no shepherd, their minister, the Rev. S.

Miller Hageman, generally a very punctual man, not appearing on the platform till some minutes after tho appointed time for service. Tho cause of this accident was narrated in the four o'clock edition of yesterday's Eaole. It oppears that the Wall House, whero Mr. Hageman boards, has just been vacated by its recent proprietor, and was emptied of its inmates, with the exception of tho watchman and a powerful mastiff and the clergyman, who had decided to remain under tho next landlord. On Sunday morning the revorond gentleman slept, till the church bells awoko him, tho sleop of the just, and es pocially of tho well to do clergyman.

What his dreams were we know not, whether of dwelling in marble halls or in the Wall House, or in those highor regions to which tho beatific visions of a pastor are accustomed to soar. Certain it is that his sleop must have been sweet, or it would have ended sooner, for if, as Charles Lamb says, it be impolite to rise before the sun, it.is unclerioal to continue snoring on tho Sabbath until summoned to tho pulpit by "tho sound of tho church going boU." Hastily thrusting his locomotive appendages into the glossy doeskin pants which he ro serves for dovotional occasions, bestowing "a lick and a promise" with a towel on his massive brow, and donning his ecclesiastical frock, which commands the respect of unbe liovcrs, St. Miller Hageman, spruce as "the "Miller of tho Deo," descended from his two story back to tho lower regions of exit. Here, however, an unexpected obstacle to egress awaited him in tho shape of the mastiff who is the strictest sort of a Sabbatarian. Tho watchman had already gone to church or elsewhere, quite oblivious of the clerical lodger.

Tho Rev. Hageman approached the door, when the dog approached the Rev. Hageman. The clergyman smiled affably, tho dog sardonically. The former laid his hand upon tho door knob, tho latter inserted a premonitory tooth into tho ovangolical doeskins.

'Fino "fellow," "good dog, "said tho pastor soothingly, but an esoteric growl of masticatory onion was the response of tho canine. "Lord help "us," cried Hageman "bow wow," in hasso prof undo was tho mastiff's response. "Has a "clergyman no rights whioh a canine is "bound to respect?" thought the parson. "Duty is imperative to one in my position," reflected tho dog. "I could get out of tho "door but for this oHora canum vis," thought tho agitated shepherd, now thoroughly conscious of tho molars and inoisors which were damaging his Sunday pantaloons.

His sheep were waiting for him; his occupation would bo jeopardized if he failod to put in an appearance. Unliko St. Paul, the Rev. Hagoman had never, "after the mannor of men, fought 'with beasts at Ephosus." His wrestling had been confinod to the powers of darkness and boarding house hash and his apostolic soul revolted at the thought of a "rough and tumble" with a canine. Some ministers would have regarded the occasion as one for a crucial test of the efficacy of prayer, but prayer is not always answered immediately, and it might be too late for his morning's ministrations.

Beside, the dog was in the path of duty whon standing in the path of the minister, since duty is defined by intelligence and the dog resembled the sentry who would not let the Duko of Wellington pass. The mastiff felt himself eustos of the promises and responsible for all that the house contained when it was left under his charge. Cicoro, in his "Be OJJiciis," would havo commended his courso had ho known of it. We are bound, as moral journalists, to approve the canine action. It does not ovou appear that Hageman exhibited to him his credentials of ordination, nor any arguments except a suavity of manner which O.

Estimate, on the 1st of June nexVto determine the amounts to be raised by tax for the purpose of the city govanuBamtafar tbo ensuing year. eild that atter aTsry oareful etudy of the question, he had jiilTod at the oonolusion expressed In the report, a3d It was not until he bad prepared the draft of that report that lie had seen the opinion of the Corporation Counsel. In the oase of ine nre Department the Laws of 1874 gave the Commissioners the power to fix too salaries of the officers, providing the aggregate did not exceed tho amount named, They had came to the conolnslmi that they had nothing furthor to do with it and it did not seem to him that it was uooossary.to discuss the question of what the publio domanded, but limply to ask what is it lawful, what is it right for us to dor Aid. Hill understood from the Corporation Counsel's opinion that if they could not make a reduction, they could, at any rate, recommend to the hoed of the Departments to mako Buch a reduction. Aid.

Murtha bcllevod that the operation of the report of the Salaries Committee would lie applicable only to the clerks In the Oily Clerk's office. He did not know of any harder worked set of officials In tho city, and it seemed to him that the matter had not properly been represented to the Law Committee, or they would not have presented auoh a report. Burnet said the Law Committee hart simply looked at tho mattor as ono of Jaw, but if any injustice was llksly to be done It was a matter that oould be very easily remedied. If the gentleman moved to strike out tbe latter part of the resolution ho would very willingly Aid. Murtha thought, in tbe absence of any mandatory power it would be eminently proper for tbe Common Council to recommend to tho heads of tho Departments to make such reduotiona as were oontemplated.

Aid. Burnet said he would very cheerfully oo operato with tho gentleman from tho Mlnth In any action ho niidht take In that dlreotion. Ali Murtha regretted that ho had to deprecate tho cry of burdensome taxation so frequently raisod in an official form in tho Board, as it was calculated to injure the credit of the city abroad. Aid. Grlswold ssid he was sorry the gontleman from the Ninth objected to his Bpeaklhg the truth.

If there waa any placo where It ought to be spoken, he thouxbt it was in that Board. 'hought the truth should not bo spoken st all times, but when speaking of Brooklyn as libing so hcartly taxed, thero ought something to be ssid in the way of showing what sho had got to show for her expenditures. He thought tho wholo story ought to be told, and that tho gentleman from the Eleventh sometimes did esy more than was adviasble. Any recommendation from tho Board to tho heads of the Departments would not, in his opinion, ba worth the papers on which it Bhould be written. They would pay no heed to such a recommendation, but tho Board oould only perform tho duty.

He believed the report was sound in law and though opposodto the interests of tho city ho should vote for it. Aid. Rowley Bald ho was not at all clear on tho question of law. and should like to have more time for its consideration. He was not ono to get up and lecture a follow member about tbe BpeecheB he might make, it seemed to him to bo a little presumptuous to do sny thing of that kind.

No matter what a member might say, it was a question with whioh tho Board had nothing to do, but ono that each member had to settlo with his constituents. Aid. Burnet said it'would not be very long before the Commou Council would have a chance to havo a hack at the salary question, as tho charter provided that the budget must be made up iu the month of June. Aid. Fritz said he was satisfied that tho Board could not take any action at that time, and he should voto for the resolutions.

Aid. SigriBt said it scorned to him I be a very strange ttiinu that tho Board did not have the power to regulate what salaries should be paid to the employes of tho city. He believed they ought to have the power to do It and that thoro was no law whioh could deprive them of it. Aid. Mnrths moved to amend by striking out so much of tbo resolution as referred to the subordinates in the city uierK's oulce.

Tbo amendment was accepted and the resolution as amended was adoptod. On motion of Aid. Fritz, tho following resolution, adopted on March 27, was rescinded Resolved, That tbo hcadB of all City Departments, and all appointees of tho Common Council, be and they are hereby directed to fix the salaries In their several departments, or to which thoy are required to certify, and which aro not established by the laws of the State, from the first day of April, 1876, in such manner tbat the aggregate amount required for any one department or office for the month of April, shall be deoreased below the aggregate amount requirod for tho month of February, 1876, by a sum equal to' the amount which would appear by a reduction of all salaries not established by law, exceeding $1,500, and not excooding $3,000 per annum but reducing no such salaried below $1,500. And by a reduction in all salaries above $3,000 twenty per but reducing no euoh salaries below $3,000. IiAILEOAD EXTENSION.

Adopted. THE rAYJJENT OF ASSESSMENTS. The Committee on Legislature reported in favor of rooommending to tbo inemberB of Assembly and Senate from this county to use their bost efforts to forward the bill introduced by Mr.

Suydam, providing for the payment of all faxes and heretofore loviod and in arroars, and if paid within a year, to bo without default or excessive interest. With simply 7 por cent, lntorest and not one por cent, a month. Aid. Shopard said ho was in favor of the bill, aB he wa? in favor of anything that benefited tho taxpayers and took them out of the grip of tho land Bharhs. Aid.

Murtha said it was believed that if tbo bill should be adopted there would fluffleiont amount of money collected aB to do away with tho necossity of issuing tax certificates for which the city would have to pay interest at tne rate ox seron por cent per annum. It was a measure that provided relief for a very large number of persona, and if carried out would bo of great advantage to tho city. Tho report was adopted. BAND ON THE TEACKS. Aid.

Black presented a resolution calling upon the Law Committee to proparo on ordinance prohibiting railroad companies from throwing sand on their tracks during the months of April, May, June, July, August auid September, tbe Bame being detrimental to publio health. Beferrod to tho Law Commuted. THE BONDS OP OlIX StTBVExOBS. Aid. Murtha offered the following Jiesolticd, That all City Surveyors of tho City of Brooklyn, whoso bonds have not boon filed, be and they are hereby required to file the same within thirty days from date; and that all of said surveyors appointed prior to January 1, 1873, who have not renewed their bonds sinoe that date, be and they aro hereby ro quired to file new bonds within thirty days from this date, and that tho appointments of such of said surveyors as do not comply with the terms of this rcsolur tion bo subject to xovocation after tho expiration of said thirty days.

Aid. Murtha in moving the adoption of Iho resolution said he understood that there were many survoy ors whose bonds had not beon renewed for twenty yearB. The resolution was adopted. A BADGE FOB TBE MAYOB. Aid.

Ray offered a resolution that the proper officers be authorized to procure an official badge for his Honor the Mayor at an oxpenso not to exceed $125, the money to be taken from tho contingent account. The resolution was adopted. FAOINO THE DAM. Aid. Ray offered the following: Whereas, This Common Council, on the 3d of April, passed the following: Resolved, That tho Board of City Works be and thoy are hereby directed to immediately advertise for proposals for facing the unfinished portions of the surface Blopo of tho dam at the new storage reservoir, with either wood or conoroto, at an expense not excooding tlvo thousand ($5,000) dollars, and that the above nsmed sum be appropriated for said purpose from the Water Revenue account, aud Whereas, Said resolution was on tho 10th day of April amended by substituting tho word "stono" for the word wood and, IFViereas, The Board of City Works has neglocted or refused and still neglects or rofuses to advortise for proposals as required by said resolution, therefore, Resolved, That the Board of City Work be and thoy aro hereby requirod to advertise for proposals to face and comploto tho dam at the now rosorvoir in accordance with the plans and speollloationB heretofore adopted by that Board, and to refer the said proposals to this Common Council, and that In case the said Board longer neglect or refuse to act In accordance with the direction ox fus uommon uouncii, tue uorporauon Counsel is horeby directed to Initiate such proceedings in Court againBt the members of the said Board of City Works as will be likely to result in.a proper performance of duty on thoir part in connection with this matter.

Aid. Ray The majority of tho Board of City Works have set themselves in opposition to this Common Council and to the opinion of tho Corporation Counsel. They interpret the low of tho Corporation Counsel to suit themselves, when the Corporation Counsel gives an opinion which coincides with theirs, they quie it, ana wucn it uues nut iuoj uvtt jubvu tu uxuci with him on points of law. Ono gentloman in the Board doos know. Now I dont know where I was well all I can Bay 1b that It Is high time that thiB Water Board understood that this Board is master or tho situation, and thoy are subjects of ours.

I think thoy will find it bo in a few weeks at loast. Thoy havo disobeyed the injunctions of this Common Council from time to time, and I have oflered thiB resolution in tbo hopo thst wo may have some amicable result. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 81 in the affirmative to 3, Aid. Corr, Kane and.Donovan in the nogative. Aid.

la. KMUl Unless the advocates of uerman nave somo thingnew to present they are under obligation as thrifty people to abstain from a further waste of time. The Committee should not bo constrained to listen to fallacies that have beon exploded. The Aldermen. Beforo the Aldermen yesterday thero were three subjects of gonoral importance presented for action namely, the report of the Lamp and Gas Committee on tho proposition to out off and keep extinguished 2,800 stroet lamps tho proposition to reduco the salaries of tho subordinates employed in tho various muni pal departments, and the necessity or advisability of completing the facing of the roservoir without delay.

On each of these subjects tho action taken was substantially right. By out ting off 2,800 street lamps an annual saving to the street of from fifty to sixty thousand dollars will be effected and that diminution of light can be spared from the less populous parts of the city without affecting publio convonionce or safoty to any moasurablo extent. Thero nre streets nt prosout upon which few houses are built that ore as brilliantly lit up night after night as if they wero thronged with prome naders or active traders, and there is just as much sense in the illumination as if it wero kept up on tho Coney Island Road or on tho Ocean Parkway. With the growth of population, the lamps can bo restored, but until poo ple are found who want to use the light, thoro can bo no reason for producing it. Thero was a disposition shown in tho Board to havo tho lamps to bo extinguished specified by tho Alderman of each ward, but this was wisely voted down.

Every Alderman would bo found ready to put out his neighbor's lamps, and decidedly opposed to tho extinguishing of any in his own ward. Tho Board of City Works is tho proper agent to make tho selection. Tho desire to economize Lr reducing salaries is to bo coramoudod so far as tho dosiro is clearly grounded on an attachment to the public interest, and looks to a reasonable field of operation. It would not however wo think be fair to reduco tho salary of any subordinate in the middle of a year evon if the Aldermon had tho power so to do, because, unloss there bo something unusual in tho case, a man has a right to know within fair limits what constant employment will yield him in the form of income Thoro is, howevor, little doubt that the Corporation Counsel is right in the opinion that tho Aldermen have no power under the charter to diminish during tho course of tho year, an appropriation mado and raised for salaries at tho boginuing of the year, and it is as clear as noonday that with tho salaries of particular subordinates they have nothing whatever to do, except in so far as they enter as clemonts into tho calculations that determine tho extent of the estimates that precedo tho making of the annual budget. At the boginuing of the coming year, however, it will bo quite iu placo for tho Aldormen to consider salaries in detail and limit tho appropriations for oacli department by a more economical scale than has hitherto boon applied.

This view was hold by tho majority of the Board yesterday, and tho action taken wos in substantial accordance with it. As to tho desirability of having tho reservoir completed without delay, thero can bo no two opinions among sane people. Thoro may, however, bo a difference of opinion as fo whether the presont contractors should bo allowed to comploto the work In accordance with tho terms of their contract, or whether new proposals should bo advertised for. On the first point that of expeditious completion tho Commissioners of City Works aro at one with tho Aldermen. Tho difference is in regard to the proposed new advertisomont.

On this point it may oertainly be argued with somo forco that if the city is not disposed to repudiate a bargain made in a formal mannor, if it doos not de Biro to risk a woarisomo lawsuit, and if it is averse to doing a manifest injustice it will simply ogreo to havo tho prosout contractors finish what thoy have carried so far forward with satisfaction to every competont engineer, and to all save a very few noisy and unprincipled demagogues. As opposed to this it may ba urged that by advertising for new proposals a saving of one or two thousand dollars might possibly bo effected, and that such a possibility is offsot enough to tho unpleasant features mentioned on tho othor sido. In thoir dosire to have tho work finished, howover, the Aldormen have not, we think, given tho attontion deserved to tho considerations that have made the Commissioners of City Works hositate to advertise for now proposals. Moroover, good sense, all technicalities apart, is certainly in favor of having tho same hands put tho final touches upon tho work that have labored upon it sinco the beginning. To enter into a new contract now would not be much better than for a citizen to take a suit of clothes from a tailor who had dono all but tho binding and search around for somo other knight of the needle to do tho embroidery.

It may also bo noticed in this connection that there are blatant pretenders who have howled on one key or another from tho beginning of tho work that whon finishod it would not hold water. Thoy might oel thomsolves constrainod to toko the contract for what little remains to bo dono, and after putting it into the hands of some hydraulio prophot liko Billy Board, perhaps do their utmost to justify themselves by producing a leak. Altogether, what remains to be done is so insignficant that none but men who are looking for something to quarrel about would find in it matter for lengthened argumont. Wo nro satisfied the Commissioners of City Works and the Mayor oau settle tho question fairly and without difficulty if they aro so disjjosed, and wo are quite certain that thoro is no political or othor capital to be mado by koeping it unsettled. The Offden Job Investigation.

Tho aocusation of bribery which tho Re publicans have got up on such members of their party as voted against tho Ogdon Char tor bill, or as absented thomselves when the voto was moved, has taken the form of a committoe investigation at Albany. Tho in vestigotion is not devoid of comody, but it is barron of revelations and prolific of donials. The Brooklyn officials subponaed have denied that they paid, raised or gave money or any valuables to any persons or for any persons, to ae euro the defeat of tho bill. As it was designod to cut thoir heads off, they frankly admit that they talked down tho bill to whom thoy could. One Phelps, who seoniB to bo a member of tho lobby, swears that ho too talked down tho bill to membors who failod to support it, and he did so at the request of and out of regard for somo of his friends, tho Brooklyn officials, whose heads the bill would out off.

no did not do so for money or any Buck consideration yet he frankly admits that Commissioner Pyburn promised him to put one or two of his friends in places, if the bill which would decapitate Pyburn should fail. It is vory likely that 'ho quest of corruption will fail, for the simple reason that it is statod "thore ain't no Mrs. Harris." It seems queer that the investigation took this form on a bill expressly advocated "as a non partisan measure," or, in other words, as a measuro on which members were at liberty to vote as they pleased, without partisan or personal rofloction on them. Nevertheless, the success of this "non partisan bill" was made "a party question" by a caucus, and the cry of corruption was raised so soon as five Republicans acted as non partisans on "a non partisan bill." Wo are not surprised that the Republicans have concluded that they summoned the wrong men, when they summoned the Brooklyn Democratic officials as witnesses. We aro not further surprised that a failure to prove corruption should 'pan out" some indications of a successful feat of log rolling.

The Republican charter seems to been defeated in a Republican Assembly, and about the same time another important local Republican bill there was given on imposing introduction to tho Senate by tho aid of several Democratic Assemblymen's votes. A stipulation to the entire Domooratia column interested iu the defeat of tho charter to this effeot "Wo will coax enough Republicans to blow "cold on the Charter bill, if you will coax "enough Democrats to blow warm on the "Sheriff's Fee bill, whioji is a personal, not a "party measure," wuld be a proposal on known as log rolling. The success of such a HPhema would involve a Demoowrtio aid Mr. Blnlno's DcrcciiTC Beene. Mr.

Blaino was accused of inuring receirod in good raonoy from tho tronsury of Iho Union Pncifio Railroad, in exchange for bonds of tho Arkansas and Fort Smith lytil road, of tho appnrontor face value of 75,000. Tho transaction was. claimed to bo in tho nom inal nature of a loan, with tho understanding that no ropaymont 'was to be made. If tho collaterals wud to bo given as security woro worth tho which they assumed to bo worth, or the which wore said to be loaned on them, thero would bo nothing wrong in tho matter at nlL But it was inado a point of iu the accusation that the collateral wore simply worthloss, and wero offered to give warrantable color to a presont outright of $04,000 from the Union Paciflo to Mr. Blaino, as a reward and inducement for past and future Congress favois to the company.

This chargo was adraittod to be tmo in these incidents Tho sum of $04,000 was loaned on $75,000 worth of the bonds of tho Arkansas nnd Fort Smith Railroad, which is to say that tho money was loaned on collaterals, which wero not worth the coat of tho ink it takos to write about them. The Congross career of Mr. Blaine was and is full of favor toward tho Union Pacific Company, tho most persistent subsidy beggar and subsidy getter in tho universe. Now neither of those admitted incidents of itsolf shows that this rotten and pretended loan and suspicious present was made to Mr. Blaine, although ho was known to hove leen both a friend of tho Union Pacific and an owner in largo amounts of tho worthless stock of the Fort Smith road, which exists only on paper.

This chargo, however, was related to Mr. Blaine directly on the statement of Divoctor John S. C. Harrison, of the Union Pacific Company. Ho resides iu Iudiauapolis, is a grandson of ox PresiSent Harrison, is a loading citizen and an activo Republican friond of Governor Morton, a rival of Mr.

Blaine for the Cincinnati nomination. Tho chargo had no Democratic birth. It was fathered and fostered by tho Morton Republicans. Mr. Harrison says that ho found out nbout tho faot of this rotton transaction.

Ho was moved by his sens3 of duty to find out the man bonoflted by it. Ho was moving to do so, he says, when E. H. Rollins, ft co Diroctor and a high official of the road, besought him, "not to stir or push that mat "ter; it will ruin Mr. Blaine; it was ho who "got the money." Mr.

Harrison says that ho outlined tho facts in a letter without naming persons, but that he indicated that one of the highost Republican loaders was involved in them. He sent this letter to Hon. J. M. Wilson, of Indiana, in 1S72 Chairman of the Credit Mobilier Investigating Committee, whoso whitewashing work has not been forgotten yet.

No notico was taken of the letter by the Committee. Mr. Horrison still wants to be summoned to testify on tho facts. Mr. Blaiue yesterday replied to this charge.

Ho denied that ho was tho man beneUtod by this loan; ho denied that whoever may have been benefited was related to him directly or indirectly. Ho had nover received, or asked, or been tondered, in any way, near or ro jnotc, for himself or anybody elso, any favor or value or anything from tho Union Pacific Company. Ho produced letters corroborative of this denial from E. H. Rollins, Sidney Dillon, Morton, Bliss A Co.

and Thomas A. Scott, who are all tho persons likely to havo known and tho very porsons who must havo known of tho transaction, if it over took placn. Mr. Blaine then states that tho Fort Smith road stock which ho owned at the time of this alleged transaction, ho still owns; ho paid for tho shares "what every other person was charged "whon they wero sold" a statement which avoids figures altogether. Ho has lost on them at loast $20,000, and that is his wholo connection with them.

Tho railroad is State road not depondont at all on Congress, Tho Union Pacific and tho Atlantic and Wostcrn Pacific, and the Missouri and Kansas and Texas roads have bought up tho Fort Smith road stock in great quantities, aud they are roads wliL depend on Government aid, but Mr. Blaine bought his shares bofore that, whon they wero a speculation in Boston, paying, he states not what and losing as ho says, $20,000. Mr. Blaino did not domand an investigation, bo causo it would drag on slowly, and ho prefers to vindicate himself by giving all tho evidence at once in a speech. We think nono tho los3 of Mr.

Bhine for not demanding an investigation. Such a demand has taken tho placo of loyalty which before that took up tho role of patriotism, as defined by Dr. Johnson. I demand an invest iga tion" has becomo tho last rofugo of overy "scoundrel." Mr. J.

M. Wilson's Committee showed what investigation can not do and what it con do. We will admit that so far as this case is concerned, Mr. Blaino has mado out his side. Wo shall rejoice to beliove that thero is no other side, but that can bo only determined by tho old Anglo Saxon tactic of attack and defenso, though tho order is in thiB case reversed, tho best policy for eliciting truth and probably the only policy.

Mr. Harrison is a man of as mnch reputation for vigor as Mr. Blaine, and of unspotted character. Ho rests all ha knows, or admits that he knows, upon what he says E. H.

Rollins told him. E. H. Rollins very carefully not denies that lie told Mr. Harrison what Mr, Harrison says ho did toll him.

His whole lot tor is as follows Union Paoitio hatlhoah Company, Boston, March 31, 1870. Hon. James O. Blaine: Deak Sib la rcsponso to your Inquiry, 1 beg leave to Btato that I havo beou Treasurer of tho Onion Pacific Railroad Company aince April 8, 1871, and have necessarily known of all dlsburseruouts ainca that date. During that entire period up to tho presont timo I am euro that no money has been paid in any way or to any person by tho company in which yon wore interested, in any manner whatever.

I make this statement in justice to the company, lo you and to ruyiolf. Very respectfully yours, E. n. BOLLrss. Now all this might bo truo, and Mr.

Rollins might havo said to Harrison, "Do not stir or "push that matter; it will ruin Mr. Blaino; it "was ho who got tho money." Mr. Harrison says this was uttered to auothor gontleman as well as himself, and ho can produce the man. Tho explanation of Rollins now clearing Blaino and not denying his alleged statement to Mr. Harrison would bo that Rollins lied to Harrison, and used Blaino's namo as a moans to cover tho person or persons who really did got tho $00,000 for nothing in return.

If there was but one beneficiary, nnd not Blaino, it must havo boen some one yet higher. Who? If there were sovoral beneficiaries, they probably comprised a wholo brood of statosmon. Mr. Harrison's statement has not yet been donied. It has been confirmed by silenco.

Ho and Mr. Rollins are entitled to tho floor. Mr. Blaine should see that they take it. Beside, Mr.

Blaine who pursues nothing but politics and who lives beyond his salaries, is one of the richest men in Moino. He owes an explanation of Ms mysteriona moans to the public, or he should not talk about them at all. Ho loses $20,000 hero, and has 00,000 there and his entire time is token up as a Congressman on just about $5,000 a year. This thing requires more explanation than it has received, now that tho gentleman has thrown his character, into tho demand which he makos to become presented for Prosidont of tho United States. On this point, which jg general, and on tho omission of Rollins to deny that ho inculpated Blaine to Harrison, Mr.

Blaine's defense is defective Wo do not think any rational person of any party will come to a different conclusion, or would have more pleasure in being enabled to come to a different conclusion than the Eagle itself would feel, concerning tbo brilliant yet still unvindicated gentleman from Maine. Tho Committee of the Boari of Education, to whom tho proposed introduction of Ger man as a subject of study in the public schools was roferred for investigation and report, met lost night to hear from the advocates of the proposition, but owing either to oversight or lack of interest, tho outsido public was con fined to two Gorman gentlemen, who for prr vate reasons did not care to speak. Up to the present timo there has boen no argument made in favor of the proposition that is not BPAld. Hill said he should favor tho plan advocated by Aid. Shepard.

Aid. Kowley regarded the report aa having beon slaughtered, or as being In a half dilapidated condition. He was willing that his ward should do its share toward economizing for tho uonofll of the city, but It should not sutler at the expense of other wards, so ho desired it to bo understood that if thoro was to be a general rush and scramble then ho should tako his chances for the benefit of his ward. That was business and was perfectly right and proper. At that timo he did not believe tbo roport was in a fit condition to be acted upon, and it it Bhould bo he know that tho public would be vory much dissatisfied.

Aid. Fisher thought there should bo no furthor delay, for tho report even in Us amended form would eifcct a considerable saving. Aid. Grlswold withdrew bis amendment to give the Lamp aud Gas Committee an opportunity to make a personal inspection and report back to tho Board. Aid.

FiBhcr movod tout the roport of tho Committee be adopted as amended. Aid. Grlswold askod to havo Fulton strcot and the City Park cicoptod. Tho amendment was adopted. Aid.

Rowloy moved that a number of streets in the Sovcnth Ward bo excepted, and tho amcnduiouts woro accepted by tho Chairman of tho Coinojittooj as were alto a number in tho Xwontioth Ward. Aid. Parker movod to excapt Maujor stroot, Skin man street, Jackson street and Withers street. They wero accepted. Aid.

Fisher said if the roport should bo adoptod as emended tbere would bo about 1,000 lamps saved or cut off. The question then recurred on tho adoption of the report as amended. Aid. Black moved to amend by adopting tho original roport of the Commltteo with tho exception of ouc lamp on tho northwest cornor of Myrtle aveuUB and Adams street. Tho motion was seconded by Aid.

Grlswold and was carried by a voto of 22 iu tho affirmative to 3 in tho negative. Aid. Fishor then offered a resolution that it bo re forred to tho Lamp and Gas Committee to make a personal inspection and report whore, in opinion, lamps can be cut off without detriment to tho city. Tbo resolution was adoptod, and on motion of Aid. liowloy the sum of $100 was Appropriated to defray the expense attending the inspection.

The original report of tho Committee, as adoptod, provides for tho capping of the following: Bfooklrn Gas Company. 297 CKiaons1 Gas Comoany 8'J8 People's Gas Company. 44fi Metropolitan Gas Company. 72) Nassau Gob Comoany 737 Wllliamiburgh Gas Company. 363 Total 3,878 The amount saved will bo about $00,000.

EXPENSE OF CAPPING. On motion of Aid. Fishor, the following were adopted Itctotved, That the Board of City Works be and thoy aro hereby directed to expend the sum of one bundled and eighty dollars and fifty cents, or capping the sorvloe pipe to tho lamp posts In tho Metropolitan Gaslight Company's district, where the gas has been ordered to be cut off by resolution of this Common Council, the amount to be taken from the appropriation for lighting stroet lamps. Bimilar resolutions wero adoptod relative to tho other companies for tho Nassau $181.75 for the People's, $111,23 for the 'Brooklyn, $14.25 for the Citizons', for the WiUlamaburgh $210.25.

Aid. Bowloy presented a numerously BiRned petition requesting tho Common Council to adopt an ordinance renuiriug all public truckmen of the City of Brooalyn to wear a bade with tho words "Publio Truck" and the number of tho truck engraved on it. It was reforred to the Law Committee. COMPLAINTS AGAINST A OONTBAOTOB. Tho following was xecoived from the Board of City Works DSPABTMKHT OF ClXV WORKS,) April 24, 1870.

To the Honorable the Common Council: Gentlemen Proposals were publicly opened and ounouncod on April 4, 1870, for building au addition to thd Sixth Prccinot Station House for court purposes. Tho lowest bid IB that of Jno. Brady, in the sum of $3,300. Jno. Brady is tho contractor for alterations on tho City Hall, and has proceeded with tho work in a manner so unsatisfactory to this Board that wo havo grave doubts of tho policy of awarding to him tho contract for tho building of the said Sixth Precinct Station House extonsion.

Tho work on the Hall, in our opinion, has not boon pushed forward with that energy or promptness (vhich should havo been oxercisod upon it. and has been as we think. unneccsBarily delayed. On September 14, 1874, tho city awarded the contraet for building a brick stable adjoining tho Tenth Precinct Station House, In tho sum of $0,000, to the above namod John Brady. He signed the oontract and proocedod with tho excavation until it wsb almost completed, when he stoppod and refused to go on with tho work on the ground that ho had made an error In his proposal, on Novembor 23, The contract was awarded by tho Common Council to John Buchanan, In tho Bum of $7,447, and Brady and his sureties were ordered to be prosecuted.

Iu viow of tnese tacts wo would rooommond that tho contract for building the addition to tho Sixth Procinct Station House be awarded lo B. Rauth, in the sum of $3 450, he being the next lowest bidder for said work, Bospoctfully submitted, H. W. Slooum, President. In connection with the above, the following resolution was ollciod Ilfsolvti, That tho Board of City Works be and they are horeby directed to enter into contract with B.

Rauth, to build addition to the Sixth Precinct Station Houbo, at the pries set forth in his proposal, publicly opened and announoed on April 4, 1876, to wit, in the sum of $3,450, which contract is horeby awardou to said 11. Rauth by the Common Council. Aid. Ray moved that it be referred to the Committee on Fubllo Lands and Buildings, aa it appeared that the Board of City Works had, although Mr. Brady was derelict in one oontract, awarded another to him, and ho was anxious to know something more about it.

Tno motion was carried. It waa subsequently reconsidered, and the resolution to award the contract was adopted. WATEB MAINTENANCE. A communication was received from the Board of City Works, containing tho following estimate of tho sums required for the maintenance of tho Water Department propor, for tho yoar ending April 30, 1877: Salaries, Commissioners, Register, 4o $58380.00 Maps 1.500 OBico eiponsDS 2.0!W Printing and stationery 3,6 10 Distribution and repairs salaries 79,531 Distribution Mid repairs supplies Bifhrewood Engine House salaries Rlditevrood Engine House supplies 80.1 i'J Smith and Watt's pond.

THE TBUANT HOME. Aid.

Burnet presented tho following' The Committee on Law and Eduostion, to whom was referred the communication of hjs Honor tno Mayor, transmitting a communication from the Law Committee of the Board of Education in relation to the management of the Truant Home, respectfully report It appearing that the Board of Eduoatldn has compiled with the terms of the act of May 11, 1874, termed the Compulsory Education act, by adopting arrangements, rules and regulations under said act, and it appearing that It Is far the beet interests of the atty that the education and care of the children of the Truant Home should bt Intrusted to the Board of Education of tho City of Brooklyn, they therefore recommend for adoption the following Resolved, That the appointment of toaohers for th Truant Home, and the care, custody and management of the children therein bo transferred to the Board of Education.

Aid. Burnot said tho roport bid been adopted rather as a trial than otherwise, the appointment of aU other officers exoept the teachers would remain in tht hands of the Common Council. Aid.

Rowley asked who would be supreme in Juris diction Aid. Burnet said it was to settlo that question that the second resolution had boen adopted. The report was adopted. OFFICIAL SAL ABIES. The Law Committee to whom in connection with the Corporation Counsel were referred the communications of the Department of Fire and Buildings and the Department of Police and Excise la relation to salaries of subordinates, submitted a report.

The Committee find that resolutions have been adopted, making the appropriations for salaries for the year 1876 and the amounts collected and placed In the Treasury. Such resolutions have the legal effeot of appropriating the sums so levied and raised to the use of the savers! departments during the current year and under the opinion of the Corporation Counsel (published In last night's Sauls), they offered the following Raolvcd, That the resolution lo relation to salaries, adopted February 28, 1874, be and the same hereby is rescinded so far as the same relate to the various departments of the ejtjr government, and a' to the salaries of the offioers, clerks and tmajares set antler, tfee the dog knew from oxpenenco is often assumed by burglarious oharacters in th eir in terviews with watch dogs. But here comes the moral of this narrative, and one which Hageman, who is something of a pulpit iEsop, can make good use of. This moral and con soiontious dog had a weakness, and the sly parson knew it. As Eve's weakness was apples so this mastiff's weakness was running after balls, for in early life ho had enjoyed the college breeding of a retriever.

The parson who always carries a pocket full of handkerchiefs on Sunday for use in the pathetic parts of his discourse, rolled one of them into a ball and flung it to a distance, blandly urging the dog to fetch it, which, unsuspicious of parsonic guile, ho did. Quick as tho inspiration of pulpiteers, the parson lifted up the window sash. The dog, though he regarded himself as a sort of jailor, was not averse, like Tweed's jailors and others, to a little pastime with his prisoner. On his second race after the theological kerchief, tho prophot jumped out into the yard below and scaled the wall, ejaculating an impromptu litany for deliverance from future dogs on Sunday. But, alas, his troubles were not ended.

A law abiding citizen passed by as he descendod, and mistaking his clerical attire for the disguise of a burglar, he collared him and accused him of being a wolf in shopherd's clothing. Hageman's now confirmed his worst suspicions. He pulled a Bible out of his pocket in proof of his respectability. But tho citizen reads the daily newspapers, and laughed a ghastly and mocking incredulity, and told him plainly that the device "would not wash" and was "too thin." He proposed to take him to tho station house, but the trembling parson begged him, at least, to call in on the way at the house of prayer, known as Apollo Hall. He urged the gentle citizen to come and hear him strike tho Gospel lyre, and he would find that ho was not the liar and thief ho took him for.

"All's well that ends well," and never did a Sabbath day's disaster end so well as this. Keeping a tight hold of the weoping clergyman, the virtuous citizen went with him, and they walked to the house of God, if not as friends, at least in company. All doubt was at an end when Hageman ascended the forum and addressed his patient flock. The ninety and nine in Apollo Hall had begun to think that their pastor didn't mean to come at all. But he found his sheep, and they their shepherd, and he preached with so much unction and pathos of the "hair breadth 'scapes" whioh happen to believers attempting a consistent wait that his persecutor was converted on tho spot, and there are hopes that the dog will shortly unite with the Apollo Hallists, so soon as the facts of the case axe brought to his dispassionate reflection by tho present article.

The Art reception last night was as brilliant, socially, as the exhibition was gratifying to the lovers of painting. In another column tho Eaqie's reporters and oritio give an account of both sides of the entertainment. It now remains for the general publio to avail themselves of the invitation to visit the gallery and inspeot the piotnres free of charge. If a thing of boanty is a joy forever, the poorest of our readers are in a position to lay in a stock of joy that will serve until the coming of the next exhibition at least. We especially wish that our rich men would give more than passing attention to the work of Brooklyn artists much of it will compel the attention of cultured eyea.

Tho final indications as to the Utica Convention confirm what the Eaqlx summed up yesterday. The rosult is Tilden first and the rest nowhere. The Gdvemor will be sent to St. Louis in just such form as will do him the most good. The prospect for a harmonious adjustment of the matters between Tammany and anti Tammany in the Convention seems to be good at this writing.
