INVESTIGATING Tlie election in the. Fifth Assembly District.

What was Said by Witnesses as to the Claims of Coffer and Sheridan for the Seat in the State Legislature A Police. man who Bet $5 on Cotter Carried the Ballot Box to the Station House, and Would Lie Under Oath. The Assembly Committee on Privileges and Eleotlons resumed its session at two o'clock yesterday afternoon in Room of the Fifth Avonue Hotel, New York, and continued taking testimony In the Coffey. Sheridan contest case. The room was uncomfortably filled with a large number of Twelfth Word politicians, who manifested groat anxloty as to what the examination would reveal.

When Chairman Rice called the committee to order, ex Judge Morris arose and said what was prosontod by counsel for Mr. Coffey as a bill of particulars was Jess particular than the petition itself, Tbe bill was Indefinite. There was not a single fact alleged ln it hardly as spoolflo as alleged in tbe petition. It was a mere conclusion, and as tbe bill of particulars waa a mere conclusion he hoped toe committee would not be called upon to make an Investigation. Ex Judge Troy, aa oounsel for Mr.

Coffey, said the bill of parlloulars was as apeolfto aa could bo made. He did not know what distinction the committee bad made between a fact and a conclusion. The contest had been narrowed down to tbe Third Eleotlon District, and he hoped tho committee would prooeod with the investigation. Ex Judge Morris said that tbe law required that facts must be first stated. The bill of particulars was a more speculation and was like going on a fishing expe ditlon.

It merely assorts what it eays on information. Counsel Bays that more votes had been allowed Sheridan than ho was entitled to. If an investigation oould be allowed ou such a loose statement of tacts tben It was against the law. Tho commltteo, after consultation, deolded that the bill of particulars was sufficient lo warrant an Investigation. OFFICER OAHTLL TESTIFIES.

Mr. Waring said that the report covered the entlra ground.

Tne Report of the Commissioners to the Mayor, How They Hare Discharged Their Duties. Dl faculties In the Way of Exeeuting the Law A Serious and Lamentable ObstaclePressure Legislation Record mended.

The Itoport of the Excise Commissioners newspaperebntlTnow, was gTven ouTby theMayof today. It BhowB that on November 80, 1883, there were 2,690 licensed places, dlvldod as follows 1,523, first lass, hotel, inn or tavern 192, Booond class, store keepers 921, third class, ale or beer. Total, 2,635. Licenses have, however, been Issued from December 1, 1881, to November 30. 1882, aa follows 1,622, first elans 195, sooond olass 959, third olass.

Total, 2,776. Amount of fees rcceivocl for tho same, $220,290, Licenses Issued during the same period from December 1, 1880, to November 80, 1881: 1,461, first class 172, second olass 1,018, third class. Total, 2, 051. Amount of fees reoeived for same, $206,800. Excess of reoelpts In 1882 over 1881, $13,400.

OONPLIOTINO rUTEBESTS. The commissioners enter into a loug desorlptlon of how they have disouarged their duties. They say At the very beginning we were beset with trials and difficulties of no ordinary character in administering this most difficult and unpleasant office, resulting from the coufilotiug interests and social elements in our city with which we bad to deal, and to satisfy them all, without giving cause for offense or discontent to either one or the other, was a problem not easily solved. We deolded to steer by the middle course, and flatter ourselves tbat we have surmounted very nearly all obstacles, in so far as it waa for not infallible men to overoome, and think we have now readied a point from which it would not be safe to deviate either one way or the other. Some of the conflicting interests alluded to were as oIIowb First Tbe religious element, who, while reoognlzing the traffic as permissible by law, yet Insist upon lis being held under control within cortaiu limits as to an increase in the number of saloons, a due observanco of tbe Lord's Day, and tho prevention of sales to minors and women.

Second Tbe temperance cltlaens, who hold to a portion of the above views, yet are more stringent and exacting lu many other respects. Third The Prohibitionists, who desire that no licenses shall be grauted at all. Fourth The liquor dealers, who dlponsa mostly strong and intoxicating liquors, and are In favor of unlimited licenses, maintaining that every person Is entitled to make a living the best way he can, and that not a drop more liquor will be consumed if there waa a saloon on every corner. Tho largest proportion of this trade 1b carried on by our Irlsh Amaricau citiaens, who oonstitute so numerous, oonsclentlous and Influential an element among us. Fifth The lager boor Interest, which Is almost exclusively oonducted by our American population, who are generally rocognlzed sb among the most peaceable and law abiding of our citizens, but who deem any infringement or Interference with their social privileges to which they were aeoustomedlu their Fatherland a hardship, if not a persecution, olaimlug thai while they deal in boer, ale and light wlnos they do the least barm, if any.

Your CommlselouerB received large delegations from all these various classes, gave them all an attentive aud patient hearing, and promised to do what they oould to satisfy eaoli and every interest, reminding them, however, that neither must aiK or expect more than hla share from have to render.under a difficult law, equal justlco to all. How far we have been successful is probably better known to your honor thau to us, from communications and delegations to whom you have grantod repeated hearings upon this subjeot. It would bo egotistical for us to assume that we have satisfied all classes, to tho extent they might have desired. Suoh would be amoral Impossibility for any man, or number of men, with the very best intentions, to accomplish, yet wo pride ourselves that many reforms have been established which will even redound to the houor and oredit of your administration. Evory person before aud maklnany request of us has been received in a kind and oonrteous manner, and every reasonable request has been grauted, if within tbe law.

Evary nationality has reoeived equal courtesy at our hands, and, when necessary, spokon to in their own language, while all have received equal justice, without fees, favors and rewards, either directly or indirectly; at tho same time we have kept the department free rrom all political influences and maintalnol thereby tho non partisan character of your administration. Yet in eome oases we have been couipslled to be severe and dooislve, Wo havo steadily refused to license places where pool playing by boys was encouragod and allowed, concerning which we had received many complaints by parents or guardians, and made It a sine, pita nun tbat this objectionable feature of tbe place must either be removed or discontinued before the Ucenao would be granted. It required, however, tho watcbf ill eye of the police continually to keep some saloon keepers to the strict letter of tho agreement with us, aud, while we cannot revoke licenses for such a cause, yet wo can refuse a renewal upon tta expiration If these demoralizing and baneful influences are continued and persisted In. Another moat BEBIOUS AND LAMENTABLE DIFFICULT!" wo bad to contend with was tbe discovory by as that in this fair city there were and had existed for many years, on tbe most prominent streets, houses of assignation and prostitution who held liquor licenses. We owe a debt of gratitude, especially to tha Catholic clergy, for apprising us of tbo location of those dens of immorality, vlco aud crime.

We have with steadfastness ro UBod to renew thoso licenses, nor have auy "of them been relicensed by us. In doing so, wo have engendered bitter run the risk of personal violence; yet, with the knowledge tbat wo bad yonr moral and official support, and the hoarty sympathy of tho entire law abiding portion or the community, we have and UaH continue to do soiiraaeoiiBly 9r ui ln respect without fear of intimidation or danger to our persons, and are dotermlned that the respectable and law abiding liquor dealers shall not be classified with those who keep disreputable places, whereby an unjust odium has been oast upon a legitimate business, in which many honorable men aro engaged. That these placos aro still opon aud doing business, in defiance of all law and publio sentiment, Is a matter over which we as Excise Commissioners have no control, bat we have reason to believe that the police captains aro doing all ln their power to drive them out of a business by whloh the moral atmosphere of tbe community has beooino polluted, tbo youug men oven of most tender years loot and sorrow brought to many homes and firesides. While we are informed by these same Cathollo olergymen tbat this nefarious and demoralizing business Is still going on In nearly all of these places at the same time, we rejoice ln being able to say tbat at least one ot tbe most notorious dens has been exterminated and Is now a dining saloon. Wo aro ably supported in this good work by tho Alderman and Supervisor of the First Ward, as well as by other good citizens In the immediate vicinity.

Without their aid we could have accomplished but little, bocause It Is a matter of reoord that several policemen who bai been on the post for a considerable timo toBtined before ns tbat they never beard, saw or knew anything improper or detrimental of the peace which had acquired such an Infamous repnta tlon. Wheu our December report shall have been com It will be found that we have slightly increased ho number of saloons iocatod mostly In th6 outlying aud most populous districts In the city. Howevor, by tbo annexed report it is shown that wo havo rotused or allowed to be withdrawn 232 applications, and that 91 aro still awaiting our aotion; beside', a largo amount of unfinished business was left us by the old board. THE PRESSURE brought upon ue by some of our best and most Influ ential citizens to grant licenses ior new pieces nas oeeu exceedingly auuoylng, nerplexiug aud Irrestatlble, par tlr ularlv while it is your wish and that of the public. as well as our own, that the number of saloons should remain at the same ratio to our constantly Increasing nnnnlntinn.

This rule wo have observed to the best of our abltlty nuder the clrcumttancss, yet ln all cases whero an entire new place was Intended to do established in a ne ehborhood where there waa none before, and the neighbors carnoatly protested, we have, after hearing both parties patioutly or hours at a time, re nsod to grant the samo, not however, unfortunately, wltHont causiDg tns applicant conBiuerauie iobs mere nn lutinn ennitiniiri hv the frieuda of tha annli. cant for our illlberality. In this matfSr It is a eholco hntwnon two evils. Wo aeuerallv choose tho least con damnation is sure to follow lis rrom cither one side or tho other whether wo do or do not. During onr service thA riAtlainn of vour Commissioners has been only once auDealod from to the courts.

ThlB was for rof Us ing to grant a license to The Abbey, ln Fulton street A protest was presented to ns treta about fourteen congregations representing at least ten thousand citizens against rellcenslng this place, mainlv on account of an open and defiant viola tion of the Sunday law by the proprietor thereof. After many hearings we refused to reuow the license, fflfihiiu constrained to do so uuder the clrcum stanoas. An appeal was then takon by tbe proprietor oArtMnir a mandamus to compel us to reuow license. Tbe court, however, enstsined our action, thi. nl.

We 'refrain from making any exteuded comments upon the Excise laws, except to express the hope tbat the Incoming Legislature may, in their wisdom, enacl a law which can easily be understood, and whioli at tha same time shall do equuaDie ana jusi to an oiaanes ui our cltlzenB.

In doing so we desire that the following points shall be incorporated First Tho abolition of tbe three bed elauee. uapnnrf 1'hn of bonds. Third The power or the Excise Commissioners to transfer licenses. Fourth The Benaratlon of the Polios and Exolsa Boards as distinct departments, irifth All violations for selline Honor or beer with nut iioonsR nil mild be followed by a heavy fine and imprisonment, as a simple aot of justice to the law abiding licensees. sixth F.xclse funds: The entire exDensos for con dueling this Department should be deduoted from the received for license fees, in order that the Department might bo self sustaining and not be a burden upon taxpayers, tue amuuui rvmaiujutc rtlridnd aa now nrovlded by existing laws.

Yanderbllf Son at Its Head Miscellaneous and Per.

Bonal Matters. Judge Cullen charged the Grand Jury of Queens County yesterday morning. During the day James Riley was indicted for murder in the first degree for the killing of hla brother in law, Albert E. Desmond. The finding of this indictment brings np for Judicial determination rather a novel question.

Riley was indleted for manslaughter for the killing of Desmond several months ago, and ln Dsoamber he was tried on that indictment. The Jury disagreed. It la olalmed by some lawyers that he cannot be now lu diotod aud triod for a greater offense than manslaughter, white other lawyer, hold the reverse of this. A lawyer of some distinction saloUbat tho mistake of tfaa DIstrlot Attorney was that bo did not lndlot Blley for tho capital offense In the first instance, so that tho jury might havo tho option of convicting him of a lower grade of offense. A jury was called to try the case of the People against Von Slse, on an lndlctmont charging that ha had embezzled $000 from tbe Long Island Railroad Company.

The defendant was tho company's agont at Far Rook away. One night ln Jnly the safe in the depot was opened in the regular way and $600 stolon. Van Slsa olalmed that it was the work of a thief, but the company's detective concluded otherwise and Van Site was indicted. Since his lndlotmeut the oompauy has been reimbursed. He was placed on trial yoBterday, But Just as a jury had been obtained hie aounsel ascertained that a material witness was absent and he could not proceed.

The District Attorney consenting, Judge Cullen dlsohargod tho jury and set the caso down for trial on Friday morning. Tbero being no other business requiring a jury thou ready, the jurors were dia chargod until Wednesday morning. In tho case of the People agalnt Mayor DoBevolse, of Long Iolond City, to reoover the sum of $108,000, alleged to have been ember zled, a motion was made to put tho trial over tho term, but Judge Cullen denied It, aud set the caso down peremptorily for next Monday morning. Tho Eaole reporter was told that probably the ease would be settled. Ia the case of Kromornaoker against Eromornaokor, to recover $15,000 for loss of homo and a husband, the complaint waa dismissed.

A number ot oases were sent to referees, and others wore ordered to be triod in the chambers at Brooklyn. His honor will devote today to the trial of equity coses.

In the House this morning Mr. Springer, ot Illinois, was making a speech, when a negro ln one of the gal leries interrupted by starting to read an address beginning with "Mr. Speaker." Mr.

Springer expressed the hope tbat the time consumed by the gentleman ln the gallery would not be taken out ot that allotted to him under the five minutes rule. The Interrupter was proceeding with his speech when seized by the Sergeant at Arms and summarily ejected. There Is a strong feeling among business men as to tbo aotion of the Ways and Means Committee on tho tariff, and rumors are afloat that certain members have yielded to improper influences and given a number of articles undue prominence ln their bill. The committee very properly says this is a blackmailing scheme on tbe part of certain individuals, who could not aohlove their ends upon the merits of the questions submitted. There is evidently a good deal of trouble ahead with reference to this particular matter.

It Is reported tbat the Ways and Moans Committee of the House will recommend a seotlon in the new Naval Appropriation bill whloh, if accepted, will give the higher officers in tbo Navy all the plnmB, and will Increase the salaries of the lower lino staff officers. The engineer corps, however, will be decreased throughout. There Ib a new rule In the Treasury Department Is sued by Secretary Folger to the effect that all obsen teca away from the office for more than three days in each month, shall have their pay deducted tor the time they are absent. This is reoeived with great displeasure by a large number of clerks occupying positions whloh enable them to spend more time out of tho De partment than in. Tho Judiciary Committee of the House took up Ibo Northern Paclfio land grants this morning, and a motion was made to postpone consideration of the resolution offered by Prootor Kuott, declaring tho land grauts of tha Northern Pacific Railroad forfeited.

On this there was a tie vote, the committee standing as follows Ayes Reed, Noroross, Briggs, Taylor, Wll letts, MoCold noes Townsend, Msnnlng, Hammond, Knott, Converse and Payson. The hour of tho House meeting having arrived, the meeting was adjourned until Friday nsxL It Is assorted vith a great deal of positlvenoss to day ln circles having direct relations with the White Honse that President Arthur has decided to appoint M.

Bewell, ln place of United State District Attorney Woodford. General Grant, General Canedo and Minister Romero, the commissioners appointed to draw up a oommer olal treaty between Mexico and the United States hare determined to hold their meetings in Washing ton instead of 1c New York, The first meeting will be held about the 15th of tho month. Collector Tanner and Demas Strong are in the city. Tanner Is here with referenoe to tho Surveyorship, to whloh position he thinks ho has a ohance of being ap pointed, and for which ho is backed by General Grant; and Strong is interested la tho action of tbe Ways and Means Committee. The Elections Committee ot the House will deoido to morrow the contested election cases of Buchanan vs.

Manning in Mississippi, and Lse vs. Blcbardson in South Carolina. The indications are that Buohanan and Lee will be seated. In the House the Shipping bill was taken up, and its consideration will probably take up the whole of the day. Attorney General Blair, of Virginia, Is arguing cysea in the Supreme Court which involves all tho questions oonnectod with the apportionment of the debt between Old and West Virginia.

A deoislon will be mado, it is expected, within two weeks. Large numbers of tho bonds are hold ln New York. Tho Senate Appropriations Committee will probably put back the $250,000 for fast mails struck out of the Post Offioe Appropriation bill by the House. The Ways and Means Committee will recommend an increase of duty amounting to 25 per cent, on iron and steel above the recommendation of tbe Senate Finance Commltteo. This matorlal difference will greatly impede tariff legislation.

On bshalf of a majority of the Special Shipping Committee, Page, of California, introduced an amend ment providing that drawback or bounty oa vessels shall not exceed 10 per ton ln the case of wooden vessels, and $35 per ton in the case or steam vessels. Tbe total amount bo paid ia not to exceed the amoun received from tbe tonnage tax. A. C. B.

She draws eighteen feet of water.

Mayor Low was asked to day what he proposed to do In regard to the minor appointments made by the Demooratlo Aldermen yesterday. He replied that the matter had not coma before him officially yet and he was not prepared to Indicate whether he should or should not veto tbam. He should carefully compare tho appointments and (salaries with those of last year. He said, Incidentally, that he had observed that the Aldermen had appointed a third lrk to the oommlt tees of the Hoard, The Impression in City Hall clroles is that the Mayor will veto the appointment of the third olerk, the Super intendent of tho Truant Home and tho assistant ser geant at arms. The third olerk and the resistant er geant at arms were appointed on separate resolutions, but tho superintendent was named in one resolution with all the other places.

question now is, whether tbe Mayor should veto the appointment of superintendent, It would not affect the others embraced lu that resolution, and on thia point opinion appaara to be almost universally In the affirmative. The Demoorats have not enough votes to override a veto. As to the powdr of tho Mayor to interpose a veto, there Is hardly question. Now members of the Board fared well In the distribution of tbe patronage. Watson, of the Third Ward, got the mossenger, J.

CONDITION OI1 THE TBUANT HOME. Alexis W.

Penson, who haa been in oharge of the Truant Homo for the past year, but who was removed by rosolutlon of the Demooratlo majority In the Board of Aldermen yesterday, says in his annual report to tho Mayor tbat be found the buildings and surroundings in "a most dilapidated oondltlou," and that immediate ropatrs were nocessary In ordor to make the place Inhabitable. The health of the boys has been generally good. One case of scarlet fever o'courred during the year, But It was promptly attended to aud the disease did not spread. The farm has been worked for all it is worth. Mr.

PenBon thinks that tho term of commitment (fourteen weeks) is not long enough to have the desired effoot. Commitments should be made for no specified time, aud the discharge of a boy should depend upon his good behavior and proficiency In tho school. He literally construed the law, however, and returned to their parents or guar dlana some twenty or more boys who had been thore from 1879 to 1882. The appropriation far salaries, sup plies, maintenance and repairs was $11,522, of which $10,916.51 was expended up to December 1. There wero forty boys in the Home on that date.

MR. CHICK'S COMPLAINT. C. Chick, of No. 383 Franklin avenue, who de scribes himself as a modest young Republican recently fledged," writes to tbe Mayor complaining because the windows of the city railroad oars, notably on the Oreone avenue line, which he patroulies, are ob structed by advertising cards.

Ho says they shut out tho light, and wants to know what can be done to abate tho nuisances. Ho is willing to prepare and prefer a petition numerously and lnfluentially signed to the proper eity deportment If suoh aotion would be likely bring about the deatred result," He thinks these advertisements might bo placed above the windows, ou tho outside or iUBide. On May 17, 1880, the Board of Aldermen adopted a esolution directing the horse railroad oompaulea to remove all advertising signs from tho windows and lamps and also all bulletlu boards on tho sldos of opon cars. This resolution does not Beam ip nava amoimtou to anything, AN OLD OHUItCH.

GarrlBon and George B. Hooton, who complained that the bsbobs meut for the sewer In Sixth, North Second, North Ninth and North Twelfth streets was excessive. The amount Is $70,348. They called especial attention to the engineering expenses.

This seems to be the only means of redrosa for them, THE BOND STREET SEWEB. The asscBsment for the extension of the Bond street eewor is $238,778.84.
