BUSINESS NOTICIW. GERMAN ENTERPRISE, POLITICAL. unorganized part of the town of Nevr Lots, we can annex thorn by a law without asking their The Sentinel this week is particularly fierce. It has discovered that Senator Murphy is not going back to Albany, and that some man is likely Bubsorlptiona soon fall off, and presently the emotional publlo does not feel enough intorest in the affair tojncnuro into the appropriation of the fund. A Fittston relief fund of course is created, as there was one in th Avondale case.

The recollection of the lattor moves a morning paper to ask what became of the Avondale fund, and to hint that there is no evidence that the money Maghjtrato of tho city. Nor arc Mr. Kalb fleisoh'8 eorvioes as a party man to bo lightly un acrvDluBfl. His fidelity to the principles, of the Dora ooratfoi party never wavorod in his not infrequont, 'personal quarrehj with bit party friends, ani when he, hoped for help from his political opponents, ho nover professed to havo any respect, even, for political principles opposed to his own. Tho restraints which his official position might bo auppoaod to lmpo3o upon him, nover prevented him from serving at conventions on TUESDAY EVENING MAY 30, authors of tho fraud being expelled from office, or resign himself.

If he is a candidate for the Presidency, ho oould make most capital by washing his hands of the present sordid and discreditable Administration, every step of which in revenue is marked by flagrant dishonesty. Everybody is getting td see it. No bonded warehouseman doubts that in this lock matter the government offioials paid to protect him undertook to rob him. And so with tho sample abstractions from the packages in tho Appraiser's Office. Every importer knows that Custom House dishonesty was never so rampant as now.

Thus, class by class, and trade by trade, all men of business see that thin Administration exists only to fleece them. for somo years, but his business connection with tho law firm of Davis Lyon, Pine street, New fork, havo made him better Known in that city than this. He was District Attorney of Kansas in its territorial history, having been, appointed by president Buchanan. A PAIS 03? COBONEBS. Noxt Fall two Coronora will have to be ohosen, ono to come from tho EoBteni and ono from tho Wcstorn District.

Lawrence Whitehill and Joseph B. Jones, tho present incumbents, aro candidates for renomlna tlon and election. Thus far thero have boon no names presented in competition. For County Auditor, Morris FltzgoroW has been op polnted until tho noxt eloctlon. He will probably then be a candidate boforo the people.

Desmond wos a candidato for appointment, but It la not known whether he will enter tho lists for nomination. Tho office is a now ono created by tho last Legislature, salary 83,000. The County Treasurer is now Thomas A. Gardiner, onceaStnto Senator aud for three terms a County Treasurer. Ho soemo to havo fair chance for a fourth election, although Mr.

Dennis, tho pavement agitator, and James J. the Presides of the Board of Supervisors, havo been mentioned. One per cent, on all tho money which Kings County pays tho Stato aud the salary, makes the office worth about $20,000, so those wlio know best pretend to figuro. Mr. Gardinor hna mado a foir officer, and hoa secured tho confidence of representative men of both parties.

He is a quiot, civil spoken (, cntlemau, knows whon ho has a good thing and would hko heep it. Another now office, that of 6upervIsor at Largo is to bo filled this Fall, w'm. J. Osborno is the present incumbent. James J.

The nine county dolcgatlous in couveutiou, it is said, will stand as follows: Etrat Anniversary" ot the Dedication of Breslau Grand Excursion to tho Now Sottloment Projrress of the Past Year Two Hundred and Flftr Houses and Fifteen Hundred People Schoolhousos, Cniirclies, Factories, tec, Springing up In All Directions Corner stone Yesterday, beig the flrat anniversary of the dedication of Breslau, tho new German settlement at Welwood Station, on tho South Sldo Kallroad, thirty two miloB from Brooklyn, a grand excursion was made to that place by between fifteen hundred and two thnUBand men, wpmen and children, mainly relatives and friends of the residents of tho new settlement, for the purpose of celebrating the day, which, falling upon the popular Germon holldoy known as Pfingst Montag was commemorated with much zest and enjoyment. Long beforo half past nlno o'clock, tho hour appointed for the start, the excursionists began to assemble at tho Bnshwick Depot of tho South Side Itailroad Company, whero they were received by Messrs. Thomas Welwood and Charles 8. Schlelr, tho managers of tho Breslau BuildiDg Association, and provided with comfortable transportation by Itailroad Superintendent Douglass, who was constant and untiring iu his efforts throughout the day to ensure tho comfort and convenience of tbo party.

To add to the ploasuro of tho occ a fine band discoursed enlivening music before the start, und accompanied tho excursion, which loft the depot at precisely ten o'clock, aud arrived at the poiut of destination at a quarter past eleven o'clock, thus making the run of thirty two miles iu only an hour and a quarter, which may be regarded as remarkably quick time, especially In view of the fact that the train was composed of twenty cars aud two locomotives. TJPON AI1RIV1 NO AT BHEST.AU there were fouud two or three thousand people from the surrounding country already on the ground, and celebrating w.th a band of their own. The aceuo which presented itself was one uot easily to be forgotten, aud ouo which e'early ind 'catcd tho rapid progress of this portion of Long Island. Ou either side of tho railroad were buildings of various grades, ranging from the cottage of a Btory anil a half to the hotel of four stories iu height, there being, all told, about two huudred and fifty buddings, including dwellings, hotels, stores, factories, etc. Some of these structures were really fine, and would be ere lita bfe to any city, they being well built and of handsome architectural design.

Broad avcuues. well graded, and studded with young shade tree; stretched away on iiher side where less than two years ago wa3 a thick growth of trees and underbrush. At various points tents, sheds, and rustic bowers, which had been erected lorthc convenience of the excursionists, were Bpecdily fHlcci with merry crowd while here aud there might lie seen a family group pushing away from the centre of tho town seeking greater retirement and more quiet amnsemeineut. Tho two largo aud hue hotels lying on either Bide of the railroad, only a few yards distant Irom the cosy station, were also well patronized, and during tho day gavo accommodation to numerous impromptu dancing parties, and thus the time was agreeably jiassed according to the individual tastes of each. A HISTOllICAL SKETCH.

At this timo a brief historical sketch of this remarkably successful enterprise will doubtless provo of iutor est, and also servo to moro clearly indicate its progress. As has already been, from time to ti ne, reported iu the columns of tho Eagle, somewhat less thau two years ago a party of German capitalists, with a viow to establishing a manufacturing town, organized a corporation known as the Breslau Co operative Building Association," and purchased a tract of laud from Mr. Thomas Welwood, of Brooklyn, who owned severs' thousand acres at a point on tho South Sido Itailroad known as Welwood Station. The land bo purchased was divided into building lots, twenty five by one hundred feet each, and these were sold to raemberB of the Association, whose initiation fee, or iirst installment ou the purcuaso money was five dollars, which was followed by payments of one dollar per week on account of each lot purchased, until tho lots so purchased were paid for in full. Naturally enough, perhaps, mauy prophecies were made that this enterprise would prove a failure, ns had many others of similar naturcboth on Long Island aud elsewhere, but, JUDGING BY PBESENT APPEARANCES tho seltlemcut has bo far progressed that its permanent success seems reasonably well assured.

As abovu stated, there aro now about two hundred and fifty buildings of all classes, aud these are inhabited by a population of about fiftcou hundred pimple. Among these buildings is a brewery, a brass fouudry, a shoo factory, a window shade factory, a hardware factory, a paper hanging factory, a paper roofing fairory, a fuctory, a sash and blind factory, a lock factory, a pottery, two fine hotels, two school houses and A CATHOLIC CUCliCil. This church is the principal one iu the circuit of I'ev. Father Snyder, ot Hicksvllle, aud is the designated placo of worship for tho Calholio population of Breslau and seven Burroundiug villages, is is a ueat wooden structure, well built and surmounted with a small cupola or bolfry. It has accommodation for a congregation of Bix or eight hundred people, and is well filled every Sabbath by devout worshipers.

Yosler day, while a portion of the oxcurdiouists were passing the church iu procession, on their way to the handsome uow residence of Mr. Welwood, uow nearly completed, they were cordially welcomed by the Rev. Father, who briefly addressed them in appropriate terms, which awakcued considerable ontbuBiasui. C9BNEB ST0NE LAYING. Among tho ceremonies of tho afternoon was the hying ol the cornor stotie of a new German Lutheran Church, of which Bey.

W. A. Wagner is pastor. This church is to bo a haudsomo structure, capable of seating about 800 peoplo, and the ceremonies yesterday were quite impressive. Aside from the services by the pastor and others, there was singing of hymns by the Breslau Singing Association, and appropriate music by the band.

In the corner stouo weto deposited a copy of the Bible and New Testament, a hymn book, a history of Breslau, a list of tho members of the congregation and Sunday School, and copies of tno Eagle and other papers. Aside from these two churches thoro are about to be built a Baptist Church and a Hebrew temple, during Cio present season, aud the Association offers to donate an ample site for churches and sohool houses to any aud rll religious Bociotlea making application, and without distinction on account of creed or denomination, THE MANTJFACTBBVNG INTERESTS of BrcBlau, to which refereuco is abovo mado, are reported to bo in a very flourishing condition.

Tho ar. tides manulactured arc sold in the Now York markot, though somo goods havo been Bhippod to other places Among the manufactured articles exported are largo quantities of paper 'haugiugs, which found a reaay market in Sou Francisco, to which place they were shipped.

PATENT ROOFING PAPER has boon manufactured in Breslau for the past fifteen mouths, ond is now turned out iu largo quantities. Tills poper is ot German Invention and styled Btone roofing papor." II Is said to bo fire proof and is very thick. Sand is used as one of its chief component parts, and irom this it dorivea its distinctive namo. It is also put through a chemical process in tho course of Its manufacture, which in conjunction with tho largo quantity of sand used, imparts its flro nroof qualities. It is eald to ho of a most durable nature aud capablo of withstanding constant wear and exposure for ten years.

Its manufacture has nevor been attompted in this coun try' hitherto, and hence the projectors of Breslau havo grounds for claiming tho introduction in this country of at least one innovation, ebould they express an in. tfuition to ultimately conduct several branches of man ufacture which have hitherto been peculiar to Germaui OTHER IMPROVEMENTS than thOFe above mentioned are iu contemplation, and sovcral other factories are projected, among which is a piano manufactory. The factories uow in operation are, some of them, quite extensive, and it is intended thrt nil shall be enlarged as rapidly as possible and ulti mately lnrfjc shipments of manufactured articles so.it to New York and other places. Breshu already has communication by stage with Fire Island, and a move ment is ou foot for fhe introduction of street cars for local (ravel. A railroad ia also to be built Irom South Hay lo Stewart City, through Breslau, which lies uuoii the bay between the water uud Stewart City.

THE RESIDENCE MR. WELWOOD, above mentioned, is situated about a half or thrcc quarlers of n.ile from the railroad depot at Bre toward the South Bay. It is a handsome, two story frame dwelling, surmounted by a well dated French root, and is rapidly neariug completion. Yesterday afternoon its spacious parlor was converted iuto a diiiir.g vooin, whero Ihe invited guest i of the occ ision, nrludmg a goodly delegation of ladies, wero ably and sumptuously cutertaiucd.

Democrats Mentioned for the Positions. A BRIEF GENERAL Summer with its heats and leisure is already with ub In fact If not in name. To tho politician for tho niOBt part it is tho ecaion of relaxation, of calculation fortho future, and tho time is leisurely devoted to that very mysterious Amorican manufacture known tho'makiDgof "Slates." To tho few who aro partly initiated it may bo mentioned that this word "slate," when flnifkcd by quotation marks, moans that which coulaius ihe written namo3 of thoso who aro to receive tho nominations for certain offices at the various conventions to bo held in tho cool, bright days of October. As the slato propor is easily broken, names wriltou thereon rubbed out aud othon substituted, tho word expresses wonderfully well the change, chaicc3 nnd uncertainties of our local politics. Thu i many an auxiouB office seeker finds bis name on the "slate" all right and clearly wriltou r.ufit tho very day of tho convention, when a ruthless erases it aud a hasty peucil nuts lu its place tho name of some other partizan, who finally carries off tho honors aud prizo at the very score line of the homestretch.

much by way of introduction as to THE POLITICAL SLATE. Now, a few words as to tho offices he fiUcd at the election in November next. Upon tho County ticket next Tall thero wilt be the, names of ten local candidates. Tho nominees run with the ticket, tho same ballot containing all the names.

THE EBOSPECTS AXD IMPOBTANCE of the ueKt campaign desorvo a brief mention even at this early day. Tho Senate elected next Fall will hold over dunug the Legislature of aud participate in the election of a United States Senator in place of Boscoe Coukling, whoso term expires March 1873. That Kings County should seud only Democrats to bor State Councils for the uoxt two years is extra important, bearing as it must upon tho politics ot the nation. Tho Assembly delegation should uot bo allowed to havo cveu one dissenting voice next Winter. Tho uiuc districts, when carefully canvassed aud thoir full vote brought out, aro all Democratic, as shown by tho voto on Governor last Fall ua against a Brooklyn resident, and no personal considerations should bo allowed a moment's weight if inimical to ttie gcnoral good next Fall.

At the present writing everything political betokens a Democratic clean sweep. Tho party was uevor as well organized as now. From having just a year since triumphed open opposition aud inside division in the special judicial clcctiou, it seems to havo learned its real strength to control aud conquer at tho same time. With really good men placed lu nomfuation a general acquiescence will result, and notbiug can then prevent ouo of tho old timo victories, when nation, Stato and local governments wero in Democratic keeping. If each iudividual nominee brings added strength in.

stead of weakening tho general ticket, the bouoflcial effect will bo noticeable, not only thiB year, but in tho still rooro important campaign of 1872. Ab the chief interest in political circles, and indeed outside of them, is shown in tho contest for the Mayoralty, we will commence our review with this office. If it he thought on one hand that we dovoto too much apace to tho present chief magistrate of tho oity, tho reader will remember on the other, that tho present incumbont of the Mayor's oflico has been fur very many years a prominent figuro In our local political circles. THE MATOKALTV. For reasons which wilt bo found not very far boiioatli tho surface of local political chiof gossip thus far touching tho nominations noxt Fall turns on the Mayoralty.

From tho fact that Mayor Kalbilciscb, lias seen fit to disagree with many measures which leading public odlcials of influence within their party favored, or acquiesced in, it seems to be assumed that a combination of political leaders have decided oppose his re nomination. But tho Mayor has pursued tho same policy within the last two years which ho has always. Hifl weak poiut, and in a certain souse, bis strong point of nn cxoculivo officer is that he acts on his own judgment, and having once made up his mind, he yields only when further resistance is irapossiblo. But this is not fitful exhibition of temper on tho Mayor's part. Ho bus always pursued this course.

He did so during his last term of office, and yet, at its clo (ho men who are now aaid to bo opposed to him, cordially assented to his re nomination, aud ho secured it without a dissenting voice. It is tho opinion of many who cannot ho counted among Mr. Kalbfteisch'a opponents, that he might often serve tho public bettor if ho used his iufluonco with bis official associates and subordinates to prevent ill advised measures rather than ignore their inception until tho time conies for puhlioly resisting them, after they havo reached a point whoro resistance accomplishes nothing beyond tho gratification tho Mayor feels in plac ing him rclf upon tho record, on what he believes to be too right, or all events, the popular side. But the very I net that the Mayor stands aloof from Bach co operation is accepted by tho public as au evidence that he stands in some sort between the public officials aj I the taxpayers, and that whilo be belongs to botli classes, he may be assumed as representing the totter when he berates public officials, who have seldom public sympathy with them. The charges which lh Mayor has ironi time to time made or insinuated r' i' associates all round, have effected but little, hut in unking them be bad the people on his side, for tiiey are seldom disposed to believe that olUcials got any more censure than they richly deserve.

Tho class who eujov this sort of fun is very much larger than tint oilier class, who remember that as long as thoro is a City Government it must be administered by public officials that the present oilicial3 are probibly no better Lor no worse than thoso who have preceded or who will follow thorn, and who ask themselves after the amusement of the contest Is over, Cui bono What good bus been accomplished at tho cost of bringing men, and necessarily tho way public businons is tvausactcd, into disrepute. Mayor Kalbilciscb, within tho existing term of his Mayoralty, has pursued the course ho always has. It therefore exposes him to no greitor amount of opposition than ho has always encountered, aud yet it will bo conceded that if thoro bo any political combination which controls party nominations, few men have BUCceedcd iu obtaining moro favors at its bands, reluctantly or otherwiso, than tho Mayor. If Mr. Knlbnclseh is a candidate, as we arc assured he is, from past data, no'man is justified in saying, up to this time, he may not bo again favored by this combination, let their molivo bo what it may.

Tho Mayor's strong points as a public oSttolal aro well known. Ho has had largo exporiouco in municipal affairs. Do understands thoroughly tho details of tho businoss which comes before him 09 Mayor. He is devoted to tm extent which oxposos him to BiiBplcion of eccentricity to tbo routino duties of his position. Ho has, probably, uot becu absent flora bis post six days iu two years, unless when confined at homo by Illness and in thoso instances ho Rocmod to regard his illucss as a misforlnno chiefly because It kept him from h's office.

Mayor KalbfleiBcb likes to provolio official conflicts, irrespective of tho money involved in them. Other mon lu his position would bo grateful if they could shirk what must acorn to men of tho class from which tho Mayor of Brooklyn is likely to bo selected, twopenny quarrels. Wo are not disposed to undervalue this characteristic, or to assumo that it is useless when excited against petty jobbery. Thoro 1b a homoly adago to the effect that if wo aro caroful of tho pennies tho poundB will take euro of themselves. It Is as true in public ub iu private ooncerns.

If llttlo Joba ara resisted it will soon ceoso to bo worth them up," and It will be dcouiod worso than usoless to dovlso big Jobs in tho face of opposition which little ones even cannot escape. Potty Jobbery under tho city government has gono out of fashion, and tho Mayor doaorves In no small degrco the credit for It. That Mayor Kolbtlsisoh is above tho reach of poounlary to'mptatiou is conceded. Jt will net bo difficult to select a candidatofor Mayor of whom this will bo equally truo. It will not bo difficult to select a mon of more enlarged and llboral viotvs; it is not impossible to name moro than ouo man who will, ob Mayor, got thobuBinoss of the oitybottor ru hand, bo that he will control it rather than orltlclso It but it will uot bo caBy to name a man as oxporlonoed lu city affairs, as williug to dovoto his time to atlondlug to them, and as far romovod from pecuniary influences In transacting thorn as 1b tho proscnt Chief to succeed him who will care more for the city and Icbs for tho county towns, than the veteran Senator of the past decade.

The only hope for East New York autonomy, therefore, the Sentinel considers, is in the people voting on Thursday next for a village charter. If thov fail to so vote, Brooklyn will surely annex their territory next year. We can assure the Sentinel that this ques tion, to East New York so violently exciting, is to Brooklyn among the smallest of a thousand which from time to time occupy the attention of the Eagle and the people of Brooklyn. Our wish, and tho inevitable faot of tho future, is the annexation, not of East New York alone, nor of Now Lots only, but of the whole county, to tho city. Thon, we will got one local Board instead of two, and save one of tho presont' duplicate sets of officials Mayor and Supeisor at Largo City Treasurer and County Treasurer; City Judges and County Judgo; Coniuion Council and Supervisors, Ate.

That is really tho only annexation worth talking about for the good of Brooklyn. East New York, alone, would not add a dollar to our taxable resources and revenue, where it would cost us ten dollars for expenses incurred for its local benefit, iu police, gas lighting aud many oilier charges which we should have to bear for its benefit. No tho ptestion now is whether it would not benefit East New York to come into the city in advance of its less populous sister villages of the county. Wo think it would, and so does Mr. Miller, a large property owner of East New York, who olse where writes letter on the subject.

The very name of being city property would increase the value to morrow of every man's holding within the annexed district. But Brooklyn can wait, it does not care to make two bites of its cherry and if the East New Yorkers want to try a separate village government next Thursday, nnd thereby pile up a big debt of their own before thoy join the city, why it is their own affair, and we leave Mr. Miller and tho Sentinel to fight it, out at the polls next week, with disinter ested indifference to tho immediate result, as we know that the ultimate result is sure. Precaution Against Pestilence. Yellow fever now exists, as usual every summer, at Buenos Ayres and South American hides are, as usual, imported from that port to this, and stored along the Brooklyn shore.

Tho Now York Standard calls Dr. Cochran, the Brooklyn Health Officer, to ac count for this fact, because he was satisfied, on receiving a clean bill of health from Dr. Beid, assistant of Dr. Carnochan in the Quarantine Office. It quotes Dr.

Coehran as adding "I have three men thero watch ing the vessel they havo not reported to mo anything that looks suspicious or as likely to ad to danger, and I have full confidence in their judgment and upon this it goes on to charge Dr. Cochran with "criminal laxity," which, with more indignation than discrimination in tho choice of words, it declares to be "justifiable of the severest censure." Wo fail to see that tho Standard makes out its case. Dr. Keid, tho assistant of Dr. Carnoehnn, cannot be presumed to havo granted these hides a clean bill of health, until lie had thoroughly quarantined and dis infected them.

And Dr. Cochran cannot be expected to impose a second quarantine ou goods which have been duly disinfected iu tho lower bay. Hu has no facilities for such a purpose. All that ho can do is to station his agents at the dock nnd soe that the hides conform to Dr. Iteid's certificate, and desorvo tho clean bill of health upon condition of which Dr.

Cochran permits the landing. In this case we havo close observation by Dr. Cochran's deputies, following upon Dr. Bead's quarantine and process of disinfection. Unless wo intend to close the port during Summer to all trade from South America, it is impossible to see what mora guarantee of public precaution against disease could be had, than was affordod in the use of these Buenos Ayres hides.

Tho Standard does not indicate what further precaution it would advise whether it wants Dr. Cochran in person to examine each hido singly, and so occupy his whole Summer with inspecting a single cargo. It is folly on the part of a newspaper to cavil at a public officer for the mere sake of scolding, and without suggesting any specific thing that ho did wrong, or omitted that he should have done. For our own part, we are glad to find that Dr. Cochran commences this season by so strict an examination of imported goods, oven when they come from the quarantine doctor with a clean bill of health.

Had ho been disposed to "laxity," ho would have accepted Dr. Iteid's clean bill as conclusive, and allowed tho hides to bo lauded without further scrutiny. But instead of this he places three competent persons in charge, and narrowly inspects tho cargo, as a further and additional precaution to insisting on a clean bill from quarantine. It is in tho power of Dr. Cochran, as Brooklyn Health officer, to correct manyof tho flagrant abuses and oppressions of which our merchants complained last summer at the hands of the quarantine doctors.

As Dr. Bell pointed out last week, the quarantine doctors are omnipotent on tho water, but powerless on shore. It is for them to disinfect imported South American cargoes, and pass them on to the city with a clean bill of health. But it is not for them to designate that these cargoes must go to some favored warehouse in particular. Hero Dr.

Cochran's authority stops in. No one accuses or suspects him of mercenary combinations with, or favoritism toward, particular warehouses. It is for him, not for Dr. Carnochan, to say whether these cargoes shall be landed, and where. Having no pet warehouse of his own, ho has full power to block any game of favoritism on the part of the monarch of the lower bay.

By a judicious aud impartial exercise of his unquestionable authority, the Health Officer of Brooklyn can at once provide against the importation of pestilence, and ar ainst the (liven ion of public authority in favor of particular merchants and warehousemen as against their competitors iu business. A Hill. leu Swindle. Some time afo we a report of a meeting of bonded warehouse men. at which Mr.

JJriggs of this city, and other leading owners of warehousos. expose a fraud which was attempted to bo practised upon them by Ihe Federal Administration. An order w.is obtained from Secretary Boulweli, requiring every door iu every warehouse to bo locked with a newfangled, complicated, and most expensive patent lock, the cost of introducing which would bo about bix hundred thousand dollars at onco, and large annual amount in prospective, apportioned among the bonded warehousemen of Brooklyn and New York. The cost of these locks was to be five dollars each, while their value was about fifty cents. Thou a variety of Reals were required, one to be broken each time the lock was used and the seals, too, were to be bought only of the pet patentee, at a price fixed by him and his friends in tho Administration service.

No Republican paper but the Tribune had tho honesty to expose this self evident swindle upon tho mercantile community. The Times and tho rest of the Administration papers were busy libelling Govornor Hoffman, and endeavoring to persuade the Now Yorkers that Tammany means mischief by affording lower taxes, better docks, and sterner repression of crime. But the Tribune aud he Democratic press seemed for a time to pro teat against the look swindle in vain. The jobbers became emboldened, and issued a second order, requiring the railroad companies which carry bonded goods to uso these locks only. The New York Central alone bonds 300 cars a day.

A five dollar lock for oach of these cars would involvo in one day from one railroad company. This was too stoep, and raised a fresh ontcry in tho press, tho result of which is that Secretary Boutwoll discovered how he was being mado party to fraud, and hence we loarn from tho Now York Bulletin this morning that A notification wafl sent to tho Custom House yesterday to the effect that the Secretary of tho Treasury liad risoiiidid his order requiring tho bonded warehouses to lie iastened with the "American Seal Lock." Experiments have shown that this fastening is not so Si euro as was at first supposed, and that the cap covering the key hole can be readily opened without tho koy. Thus ends that particular swindle. But why doos not Secretary Boutwell insist on the ever reached those for whoso benefit it was intended. The District Attorney of Washington will at once proceed to indict, convict and imprison the contumaoious correspondents.

His uamo is Fisher. He UBed to be Judge of the District Court in Washington. Lincoln made him so be cause of unrovoaled reasons. The ruling of Fisher on the bench Bhowed him to be one of the most original and remarkable Judges that ever lived. As an attornoy proseouting tho press ho must indeed bo a rare and radiant curiosity.

Ho owes correspondents so much in return for allu sions they have felt compelled to make to him, that the avidity with which ho proceeds to haul up Messrs. llamsdell and White is only a new way of paying old debts. Thero need bono alarm about tho freedom of the pross. If Fisher has mado out a case against tho correspondents, no one else will be able to make it out. A delegate to tho Convention of Young Mon's Christian Associations in Washington, a Mr.

Mc Lean, in a speech in that city last Sunday, ro forred to tho oxcollont result of the labors of the Herald in behalf of religion. If McLean had soon tho Herald of that very day ho would havo found it introducing its principal "religious ar ticle with the statement that tho demand for "mansions in tho skies" was active in tho real cstato market. This is a fair example of the scoffing, scurrility, and mockery of the ''roligioas" department of tho Herald. We will not assumo that McLean puffed the Herald in order to got a notice in return (which ho duly received on Monday). Wo aro therefore compellod to regard McLean as a good, simple minded, pious rustic, an easy victim to the chaff of tho worldly.

It is to be hoped for tho pratical usefulness of Youug Men's Cln istiau Associations that their management is not usually entrusted to persons so easily humbugged. Rov. Dr. Lanahan's appeal to tho Law Courts has ovidontlv incensed the Book Committee as much as it lias his colleague Dr. Carlton.

Of this their suspension of him is one evidence. Another is tho fact that tho letter of Ex Judo Reynolds is this morning replied to, ovor his own name, by Rev. Mr. Bingham, Socrotary of the Book Committee. Thus tho officer and member of tho body that is to try Dr.

Lanahan, comos openly into the field as bis antagonist in a controversy on the matter in hand. This shows that the Committee will be (load against Dr. Lanahan, and his absolute removal from oflico, from now until tho General Conference meets next yoar in this city, is to be expected. Whether this action woidd alter bis legal status aud deprive him of a right to insist through tho Courts upon an examination of tho books, remains to bo soen. The best plan for the General Conference would bo well to sell out the Book Concern and its official nowspapere to privato parties, and thus end all scandal and all responsibility on tho part of tho church.

Rev. Gilbort Haven is well known in Boston, aud slightly known out of Boston, as tho editor of Zi07i's Herald a religious paper which Feeh ter sued for alleged libol in printing in its dramatic department a coarso critique on his performance of Claude Melnolle. Besides journalism and theatrical criticism Haven busies himself with Woman's BigbtB, and is one of those few noisy and offensive men who aro continually crowdiug tho female leaders from tho platform which belongs to them, if Ilavou's thoorios aro sound. Haven appeared at a female suffrage mooting last night, and provoked laugnter by telling a miserably small r.ndioueo that tho cause was gaining strength. Haven also countenanced by bio presence the indecency of a reading by one woman of an essay by another woman on tho prurient topics of the social ovil and licensing prostitution.

Whenever it is possible to intro dueo any subject nasty in substauco or filthy in suggestion those indelicate aggressivo women are sure to do it. If Haven will porsist iu tha disreputable work of encouraging this sort of thing he should at least drop tho "Rev." Several pieces of real ostato, formerly used by tho Volunteer Firo Department, ono on Hicks street near Degraw, ono on Carlton avenue nea: Greene, and one on Hoyt street near Fulton ave nue, are advertised to be sold, not at auction but by the nearly equivalent process of a competition of sealed proposals, which are to be sent to tho Firo CommiBsionors before noon of Friday, Juno 9. So far so good but when the advertisement describes the property as "belonging to said Fire Commissioners," we suggest that tho bureaucratic idea seems to havo supsraodod tho civic aud Democratic idoa in tho mind of tho penman of tho department. Tho real estate used for Fire Department or any other department service, belongs to tho people of Brooklyn, or "tho City of Brooklyn," or, to bo precisely legal in phraseology, to tho Mayor and Commonalty of Brooklyn. Doubtless this is what tho Fire Commissioners understand, and no pecuniary harm is done by tho different and erroneous wording of their announcement.

But still it is just as well to express facts correctly, bo that the uninstructed shall not bo misled. More harm has been done, in promoting centralization and invading Stato rights, by tho customary recent use of tho phrase "the Government," instead of "tho Administration," than would at first thought be supposed. Such ag gressions ou liberty and the rights of States as the Ku Klux hill and the federal election law, would not be tolerated, but for tho couf nsiou caused in tho popular mind by calling tho temporary federal Administration tho Government, and thu3 attaching to tho person and action of the Chief Magistrate and his advisers more sol emnity and weight than tho Constitution con fers. Just so in local matters if we al low tho practice to como into habitual use of speaking of tho firo dopartmout hoUBOs and proporty as "belonging to tho Firo Commissioners, it will not take long to invest every little Board and Commission with a dogroo of independent authority which tho citizens at largo havo not at present any idea of committing to the subalterns of tho oity government. Tho fact that there is more than ono Commiasionor makes no legal difforotico.

Now, how would it Hound for disused lamp posts to be advertised for sale as "belonging to the Street Commission er or how would it do to Bay that the oity de posits in bank wero "belonging to the Comptroller?" Tho lauguago of tho Fire Commissioners' advertiBemont, thoroforo, is gravely inappropriate. THE PLANS FOR THE JAIL. of Hie Cuntmittcc ot Arclii ecs to Look into lltiudell ifc Xeek rirz' Hill.

People rutting: their Feet Under Other People's Maliosnny, The Principles of the Stomach and the Plcnsures of the Appetite, as well as the Tes tiuiouy of those Novices as to certain Social Forms, arc just now playing the mischief with Ku Kluz bills, Congressional speeches, Executive proclamations and highly loyal and libellous editorials. We adviso overybody to read the grateful and gushing tributes of Mr. Horace Greeley, Mrs. Henry Ward Beecker and other leading Republicans at present or recently in "ihe Sunny South." Having read them, contrast the unctions utterance of their gratitude, their regard for, and their confi deuce in the people, their detestation of rabid Northern distrust aud of constant Administration interference, with tho boated diatribes against the same people), with (he savage objurgations of their party directed against the inhabitants of eleven iStates, with the calm and resolute announcement that no leading Republican could ero ihe Potomac, or at least penetrate the cotton region, without leaving his legs in one county and his head in another.

A change has crauo over the spirit of all such dreams. Mr. Greeley has been South. He has oped his mouth as Sir Oracle, and no dog barked. lie has been feasted and feted, and toasted aud (olid and tended all the way from Clnip jiaipia to Austin.

He has looked out of the c.ir windows en amint, and his remarkable orbs have in tine phrenxy rollingover fields of corn, cane and coiton, and taught him more About Southern Phntiug than he oven professed to Know About Farming in the North. Traveling disguised as a gentleman and an agriculturist, those (jniek witted Southrons have, nevertheless, recognized him on sight. No indignity has been offered him. No one lias plucked his beard, nor caricatured his pantaloons, illimitable in nil else, but length. Not has recommended to him a change of air or hat.

His prejudices have been respected, and a helpless African provided ovcry morning and evening on whom hu could vent Lis expletives. Ten penny nails and double distilled extract of vitriol (his favorite writing materials) have been waiting for him at every hotel. The nails have been of the purest pig iron, and the vitriol was cribbed from the office of the Memphis Avalanche. The paper was from a Rhode Island mill under the exclusive protection of a paternal Congress. He has slept on pillows stuffed with the proud and plucked plumage of New England geese, botween sheets of Merrimack muslin, and under comforts filled with Iowa wool.

He has been allowed to talk and even on agriculture. The 'lYxnns have listened to him for hours, and have politely looked as if they thought that he thought he knew what ho was saying. They i ven applauded, as De Alauprat did to tho delight of Ilichelieu, "in the proper places." And now hear what this excellent and energetic philosopher has to say and compare it with what he said twelve days before, just prior to setting out for Texas r.KF.l LEY IN NKW YOKK. GUEELEY IS TEXAS.

As might have been remarked in another sense of An liani.is aud Sapphira, so it must bo seriously advanced as to these extracts, that the truth lies between them. Mr. Greeloy in New York and Mr.

Greeley in Texas cannot be true. Were he culled on to measure these utterances by ons another he would say that Homebody has lied, with deliberate and jinked and willful intent to deceive. We prefer to believe that ho erred rather than fibbed in New York. He suffered under the malady universal among Republican writers and speakers. Themalady is ignorance, purblind, total, but happily not irredeemable ignorance.

Tor it has been redeemed in Mr. Greeley's case, and in the case of the Beechers. Thoy Lave been South, Mr. Greeley as an agricul turist.and Mrs. Beeeher and Mrs.

Now why and whence all this change of Simply because lending Ibidiea! iiti rs have hitherto relied on third band slorii fur their means of Southern information and Northern comment upon it. AVhnn those street and charitable Christian houls mid ipitmdam disseminators of slander against the Southern ruccaud advocatesof extermination and proscription against the Southern ople, see th.se Southern people, as tl.ey hope to see their Go, "face to face and oyo to eye," the result is exnctly reversed. They owe it to their character here and to their hopes hereafter to make their new testimony as public and particular us their old misrepresentations, liy that means alone can thoy pay penance for the past, mid cement the Union which but for their hates and abuse had never been dissolved.

The application, too, is general. If all the howling Dervishes whose stock in tradois ubtmoof one half their country, could bo powpelled likewise to go South and see their own error aud the real truth at once, the result, except for the, perhaps, unwarrantable handicapping of thatseo iion with their presence even for a while, would be even more surprising and gratifying lhan the recantations just wrought in the case of the people who havo put their feet under other people's mahogany. The Charter. Election Next Week in New York. The sentiment of patriotism, on however Bmall and local a field displayed, is commendable.

Tho East New York Sentinel rights for its little village in embryo as gallantly as Mil tiades or Leonidas contended for their little poninsrla against the hosts of the invading Persians. Tho way the Sentinel slashes and thrashes the Eagle every week, is enough to make us feel as Gulliver felt under the attack of the Liliputiaus. It believes that in this big city of Brooklyn we none of us think or talk of any mortal thing nut how soonest and most completely to swallow up and devour the placid Teutonic suburb of East Now York. It exhorts the people there to hold fast to their local independence, to organize a village government, after which Brooklyn can annex them only by their own con pout; whereas while thoy remain au committees, or at moottngB whore hhi name and preg cnoo were considered of service. It must, in justice, bo Eaid of bim, that whatovor good will or approval ho scoured from citizens ot large, whenover the opportunity presented itself he put them up to tho credit of hi party.

As a party not loss thon a public man, Martin Kalb flelsch has woak and strong points. His anomalous position In his party is a source of wcakiess as well as strength, both to himself and his party. One of tho Republican papers of New York tho Dispatcli In commenting on tuo prospects of its party in this city. a few days ago, confidently countoa in its favor tho fact that Mayor Kalbficisch was not likely to bo re nom luated, and that if ho was not, ho would run any way, if in doing co ho ctvussd a disaffection In hl3 party sufficient to defeat it. Tho papor went on.

to Bay that Martin KaVbflclscb. deserved ex ceedingly well of tho taxpayors, and it con eluded, by showing tho sincerity of Its praise, in admon lshing the republicans to nominate a straight out pally candidate, for howovcr well Mr. Kalbfloisch de erves of tho fax payers ho Is expected by this organ to bemcrelyan instrument in foisting some feeble tool of both parties on Brooklyn as Mayor. Thoro Is no doubt that political loaders dread tbo calamity of a "split," but there are few of them so poor in spirit that they are not disposed to rebel against this threat as a recommendation to their favor. Like other evils with which mon aro thrcatcuol, they prefer to oravc them, rather than Iivo in apprehension of them.

Wo are disposed to believe that tho Mayor lias not announced this line of policy, but the fact that bo has pursued it before, and that ho doos not now rcpudiato it, is boiu used agaiust him by these who know that no conference of in'iucutial Dciu ocralB could be calied in Brooklyn, iu which tho Mayor's accepted claims for rcuomiuatioii would not be presented. The Mayor's supporters are never at so much dis advantage, as when they are met by the question V. hat is the use of considering tho clr.ims of a candidate who proposes to run anyway 7 The strongest opposition to the Jfiyor wilt uot coma from any political comliinat'ou. It will ho made up of Ihe personal and political friends of tho many public men who desire tho phce tho most honorable conspicuous, perhai 2, at Brooklyn's disposal and who think the "Old. Hun" has had it long ouou jh, and should not lie allowed to monopolize it duri'i'j his lifetime.

These men a ITeet to (rc.it lightly any harm Mr. KalbilciBch may do as a stump candidate A fair man uing as a Dcnocrat, they claim will hold the votes of his party. Mayor Kalbilei ieh may get floatine; votes from each but these will leave the strength of each party unchanged. Thev hold that if the Mayor runs Btump astiiust hia parly, bs conduct could bo made to seem odious, uot ouly ithin his own party, but outsido of it. It must be concccded tint a strong caso could bo undo ou this point, for the local Democracy iu tryiug to elevate the Mayor has tailored delcats which would havo ruined politically almost any other man.

Since 1831 Mr. Kalh llcisch has cither been Mayor or a candidate for Mayor. In 1834, whon consolidation wai effectod with Williams burgh and Biishwiek, he was a candidate, and received the regular nomination of his party, fie was defeated by Mayor Hall. In 1830 ho was a candidate for the nomination against Mr. Powell, but tho latter beat him by, wo think, a single voto iu the Convoution.

In 1838, he again contested the nomination with Mayor Powell, and was again defeated, In 18C0 ho was tho regular nominee of his party agaiust Frederick Scholesand was elected. During bis term tho Spring oloctions wore abolished, and tho Mayor with other city officers hold over until January, 1804. In the Fall of 18H2, aud while serving as Mayor, Mr. Kalbilciscb. ran for Counrois.

In tho Fall of 18C3, after his election to Congress, but before his term of service cammenced, and white Mayor, he contested tho nomination of his party with Mr. Prlueo for Mayor aud failing to secure it, he ran stump against that gentleman. Mr. Alfred M. Wood was the ltcpubliean nominee.

Tho war fever was at its height. Wood joined tho army 03 Colonel of the Fourteenth Itcgimcnt. no was Ehghtly wounded at Bull Bun, and was made prisoner. After his rclca ho returned to Brooklyn, and as military heroes wero scorcc in those I'mcs, Mr. Wood was made to servo a patriotic a public ovation was tendered him.

Fresh from ibetcene of his military achievements, Wood polled his party vote. Mr. Kalblleisch diverted forty live hundred votes from the Domocrals, and Wood was elected. This political escapade would have been a cepted as his political futwo ny any man but the Mayor. At tho next Mayoralty Convention Mr.

KalMIovam was again candidate, and he recciv il the ri'guliir moeritic nomination. Tho rani; and lilo of the Democracy wero not as easily placated as thc 'r ailer, and he was defe.ite.1 by ex Mayor Booth. But Mayor survived oven this disaster. At tho uexi Maj orulty Convention, KulMtisch was agam a candidate, and be scoured the nomination cf the Democrats. Mr.

A. M. Uliso was his opponent, and after a close race, Mr. Kalbtleisch was elected. Last year the Mayor n.toin presented his claims.

lie was nominated without dissent, and reelected, by a large majority. Since tho became a resident of Brooklyn proper hia party has held eight Conventions for tho nomination of Mayor. Mr. Kalb ileisch's name was before ovcry one of the Conventions. He was defeated three times in Convention, twice ho acquiesced, aud once ho ran on his own account and risk, and was defeated.

He waa defeated three times, although running as tho united candidato of his party he was three times elected uudor like circumstances. Iu one of tho odd years ho Wiis elected to Congress. We havo chosen to go iuto these details at length, because the Mayor has occupied a large space our political afiairs. With his varied politica' record as a candidate for Mayor, every gentleman who aspires to be Mayor thinks Mr. Kalbileisch should bo content.

Wo arc assured the Mayor thinks differently. He talks of being old, of desiring rest and quiet, of being weary of quarrels in which ho takoa all the blows whilohobos ouly a citizen's interest iu thorn. Bettor and worse men have Been the night como which knows no morrow here, while they were babbling of tho green fields but tho Mayor is not of this temperament. To sum up Brooklyn can have a great many worse publlo officials than Mayor KalbUeiscb. If, take him all in all, he provo satisfactory to tho representatives of his party, for renoniiuotion, ho will be eutirely bo to tho Faulk, and this is justa llttlo moro thau tho E.inr.E is proparcd to say of many who desire to succeed him.

The politicians must either rouomiuate tho Mayor, or thoy must fairly match him in their c.mdidato, Whon they do so, we will consider the question Has auy man a lifo lease of (ho position? Various gentlemen aro named in connection with the Mayoralty, but uot moro than ono or two ol them can as yet bo called candidates in tho seuso of soliciting support for tho p'aco. First ou tho list is of courso Mayor Kalbfloisch himself, who will willingly Eervo the public iu tlila position for the balance of his life, and contimio to bo after oflico hours ono of tho Joiliost and heartiest old gentlemen iu Brooklyn. Aid. Bergen, of tho Tenth Ward, has had hia heart ou tho place for years, and thoro is no telling what he would not do to give ub another Dutchman" for Mayor. Ex Congressman Barnes would ho glad to fill the pcdlion.

Ho has ovon an exaggerated notion of its "uportance, and thiuks the placo tho most honorable in tho gift of the people of Brooklyn. Judgo McCue, it is thought, cculd bo provailed on to accept tho place aud resign the bench. It is not believed he would stand in tho way of tho present in cumbeut of the office. Cortland Spraguc, at prcBcnt City Treasurer, has been talked of, but it is believed ho will bo quito content with a re nominotion for bis pi cseut position. Seymour L.

is considered un available can didate. no is a wealthy man, and has never held a political position. Mr. Thomoa Carroll, of tho Board of Education, and a tobacco mcrchoul, is spoken of. But Mr.

Carroll says he is not wealthy lough to turn his attc ltion fro in his business et awhile, and lilfe peusiblo mm he proposes to stick to (ho business which sticks to him. Isaac Van Aiiden, who needs no introduction to the Eaglk readers, coiilu in all probability be Mayor oi Brooklyn if he u'd hi, would take tuo utii out be not yet said the word. The politicians miirht travel a long Summer da; aud not find a man in whom all classes would havo more confidence. A report is current for some days past which nuy iu rrnse the number of cauuid'ites. nite Mr.

i sub is not iu favor of rotation ill tbo Mayoralty, it is aid that he would uc qr'tc cotteiit with the position of State KcujIov. Mr. Kalbileisch lives iu Mr. Murphy's District, aud il is overwhelmingly ouc siucl, politically. Isaac Badeau, having served for terms, six years, as collector ot taxes and assessments, uuder r.taod to be now out of the race.

His active, correct mid genticnianly A. W. U. Gill, his boon mentioned as successor to tho Well qualified by actual service iu the department, ue has coiuineud i il himself to all who havo occasion to visit the Tax otliec. He would uudouhtcdly provo as conscientious nnd valuable a head of department as he tins as deputy if nominated aud elected.

Mr. William A. Brown, Firo Commissioner, it is said, is a candidate, but ho will, iu ull probability, be couteut where he is. For City Treasurer it Is thought that if Mr. Sprague is uot nominated for Mayor ho will he his owu suc cessor.

At this time no other umo has been mentioned for tho Troasu rersbip. James O'Brien, Auditor, seoms likely to he renominated. He has ut present no aspirant opposing the renewal of his lease. Evau M. Johuson, Comptroller, went into olhoo quietly, aud thus far no one eecni3 to questions his right of retaining tho position.

THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION. Fortho Sonatorship, Second District, it is thought (hat Senator pierce, who has servod two terms acceptably, will ba renominated. If thero is any now uamo mentioned it is ouly in very private ciroles, and has not yet been generally heard of. This district woo once Kepublican aud the nomiuec must be an unexceptional one, as victory is now more thau ordinarily dosirablo. In tho Third District, held for Ave terms, ton years, by Henry C.

Murphy, thoro are, or rathor wore, iudt cntiouB that thoro may bo a change. It has not bcou officially announced whether or not Mr. Murphy will be a candidate fortho nomination a sixth time. John C. Jocobs, flvo terms an Assemblyman, has been mentioned in connection with this position, as also lias Wm, W.

Mosoly, three terms iu the ABBembly. Tho namo of Alexander McCue, in tho cvont of his unwll iugncES to accept tho Mayorlty nomination, has also been favorably spoken of. To this list Martin Kalb fieiBch'fl name may bo added. This is tho Baf district, usually giviui from 8,000 to 12,000 majority for tho democratic candihatc. TILE COUNir TICKET.

The moBt important elective county oflico this Fall is District Attornoy. Tho present incumbent, Samuel D. Morris, has hold tho position for threo torms, nine years, successively. He is understood to bo willing to again accopt nomination. At limes Mr.

Morris has takon issue to some serious oxtout with tho Democracy, and is not now believed to bo a candidato as availablo as lieretoforo. Tho presont County Judgo Jamos Troy la also spoiou of connection with tho District Attorneyship. Mr. Winchester Britten's namo Is also mentioned. A now namo, that of Col.

Alsou O. Davis, has recently boon included In tho lists of aspirants for tho District Attorneyship, Bo resided la Brooklyn TVliore Snail Wo Go There aro certain social questions which repeat themselves regularly with the recurring seasons, and the daily journal, reflecting the temper of tho time and sympathizing with tho people in their current interests, is obligod to record such questions, although little of originality or freshness can be offered in response to them. It is iu the nature of things difficult to say anything new about many of these periodical matters, but still the practical shape in which they present themselves stimulates a lively concern. For example, thero is tho out of town question, which tho sudden rise in mercury and its holding the thermometer at high rates have mado a topic of the hour. There is no novelty in going out of town.

People who can afford to go havo been going all their fives, with scrupulous regularity nnd fashionable promptitude. People who cannot afford to go havo been talking and writing about those who do go, quite as long nnd systematically. But while there is no novelty there is still much interest in tho customary proceeding just as all seasonable and social habits, considered as of course, are yet the chief occasion of life's labors and anxieties. Tho out of town question is submitted in several successive aspects. The first stoge is marked by tho interrogative title of this ar tiele: Where shall wo go? Tho inquiry is now the first business in order in the domes tic legislature.

The president of the body postpones its discussion as long as possible. He steadily refuses to recognizo a member who claims the floor to move tho usual inves tigation, or offer a resolution of reference to committee of ways aud means, and he strictly confines the attention of tho liouso to tho dry details of ordinary affairs. But it is now getting too warm for the president. Tho sudden heat has mado tho members clamor ous for the country, and if he would maintain even tho semblance of authority and hold tho domestic legislature in dignified restraint, ho must yield to the order of tho day. The commiteee of ways aud means has just been referred to, and certainly it is not more ini portout to political economy in action at Albany or Washington than it is to household economy at the opening of the Summer.

For tunate are the few who need not concern themselves about ways and means and whoso wide margined bank account carries them safely through any social emergency without resort to curious devices for making both ends meet; but they are relatively very few. To the vuBt majority ways aud means aro tho first stop in every domestic problom, Thoy have just now to calculate carefully how much of substantial home comfort they must sacrifice to secure the coveted luxuries of vacation and estimate how much it in worth while to sacrifice. To some, Saratoga, Long Branch, or Newport without stint is an end easy of accomplishment. To others a week or two at one of those flrst class resorts is tho limit of achievement. For others still any and all of the fashionable watering places are put at once nnd finally beyond tho hopo of realization.

They must content themselves with less conspicuous and costly retreats aud they may bo the happier in the necessity if they could only bo persuaded to think so. Besides tho classes mentioned, there is another, the most numerous of all, that must forego continued absence from the city aud be satisfied with such rural glimpses as tho Park affords, and with occasional pleasuro raids upon Coney Island by the dust suffocated cars or tho rowdy infested boats. It is, by the way, a public reproach that tho ad mirablo and accessible Summer breathing place is not mado more conveniently and pleasantly available to respectable people. Tho several conditions indicated enter into the family debate in tho perplexing inquiry, Where shall wo go Tho ease or difficulty of the answer depends upon tho wisdom or tho want of it with which those conditions are considered. Some people always know where they are going.

Havin" intelligently selected a retroat, adapted at onco to their tastes and their purses, thoy thoughtfully hold fast to that which is good instead of vainly seeking for something that may be better. Thero are other people who never know where they are going. Inevitably and uniformly dissatisfied with what thoy have, they are restless in tho search for tho improvement they never find. When tho annual Summer question recurs they are agreed on only one thing not to go wher they wont last year or any previous year. To those people the first stage of the out of town businoss is tho hardest.

They will not decide until the last moment when they shall pitch thoir wandering and discontented tents. If thoy respect fashionable sanctions they cannot postpone the decision more than a month longer. It will not do to bo seen in the oity on or after the Fourth of July. Many citizens disappear several weeks sooner, and some reach at the beginning of June the second stage, How shall wo go But just now and for a wbilo longer the question of the hour is, Where shall we go Thero is a man whoso appearance excites so much remark on Broadway. His hair comos to hie knees and hia beard is down to his waist.

He took a rash oath many years ago neither to got shaved nor havo his hair cut until tho promised Hansom cabs mado thoir appearance in New York. Mr. Greeley could not ho Provident, because his political disabilities havo never been removed. He gave aid and comfort to the rebellion at tho Htiirt, as all readers of tho Tribune well remember. Besides when he went to take tho oath of office he wou'd take so many other oaths that folks would be shocked out of all respect for him.

Mr. Wm. Edwards and Mr. Tim Colitis aro in (piod and ouarniitincat the same time. Thoir umpire, Mr.

Tim Mc Ylpine, is breaking stone and breaking his bread on the Island. Tho pugilists have to be treated for fractured fingers itticl contused countenances, preparatory to launching out in their lapidary oducation. They all vow that no money or honor" could over sod'ico them into tho ring again. When tho devil was sick tho devil a monk would be, Somebody should invent a now theatrical newspaper word as a substitute for the woll worn aud no longer apt term season." When tho managers limited thoir performances to a part of tho year and closed thoir houses during tho remaining months, the word was accurately doscriptivo. Now, however, almost all the heatres kco; open doors in Summer, and performances aro continued throughout tho year.

Therefore, to speak of the season which now draws toward Ub close" is misleading. Tho torm is still furthor forced from its legitimate moaning, and wo hoar of a "season of a month or oven of two nights, Every year thoro is a now law about militia exemptions, until it puzzlos a lawyor, an Assessor, or a militiaman, to know how far the tax exemption conferred by military service ox teuds. Tho latost law on the subject passed at tho cloeo ot tho late session, and has just boon signed by tho Govornor. It providoB that any militinman whose service oommoneod between April 17, 1854, and April 29, 1865, and lasted sevon years, shall forever after bo oxompt from jury duty, and highway taxes to tho amount of $300, provided he presents a certificate of service to the assessors, during tho time iu which tho tax books aro open for correction. Ycatorday was sot down for tho trial of General Thomas Jordan for allogod violation of our neutrality lawB in regard to, and on tho soil of, Cuba.

It will require an exceptionally strong indictment and some of tho moat delicious testimony procurable to demonstrate that Jordan over injured our neutrality laws very severely, or ever was on the soil of Cuba. Nearly a yoar ago ho promised to boback in Cuba within thirty five days. Binco then ho seems to havo boon too absorbed in bringing up tho insurgent roar in Now York to remember his declaration. Whouover a shocking calamity, suoh as tho recent coal mino catastrophe, startlos the public, popular sympathy at onco takes a praotical direction, and subscriptions for the roliof of tho suffer ers aro started.

By giving this a place iu the Eagle you will oblige An Old Democrat. Eust New York Annexation. To the Editor of the Brooklgn Eagle: 'lho villago charter question is eliciting lmich interest in the Town of Now Lots, as the inhabitants are to vote on tho questiou of acceptance or rejection of the village charter, ou tho 8th of June.

A largo uunibcr of tho citizens of East New York, which embraces thvec fiitbB to three fourths of the total population of the town, oro opposed to tho village government and lu favor of annexation to Brookku. Tho village government thoy say, will provo a useless and thoroughly inefficient coutrivunco. What can a village government do for us? Can it give us a water supply Can it givo us au efficient police force Can it give us a well organized fire department, with steam tiro ougtucs? Cau it compel tho Brooklyn City railroad oompauics, which now terminate Uvar tho city line, to extend their several railroad tracks into and through the village? Con it furnish us a first class municipal government, with all its advantages, at tho lowest possible cost? If our citizous through indifforencc on tho day of election, or through tho misapprehensions which are uow iudui triously circulated, arc to undergo tho inis lortuuo ol a village government, thoy will find it a thoroughly inefficient contrivance, and that all the benefltB it will conler will be to furuish offices and salaries to tho low aspiring aud ambitious Individuals who have engineered the project through tho Legislature, No liberty of choice is to bo given to the citizens, whether they will have a ouc horao village government, or become an integral part ot the City of Brooklyn but wo are required to be for or against tho obaiter. A majority of tho Inhabitants of tho farming districts aud of Cypress Hills are opposed to the villago govern nient, cu the ground that it will incroaso taxaiiou without auy corresponding benefits. The charter on which we are to voto is, In several important provisions, crude and ill digested.

For instance, the town is divided into four districts. East New Y'ovl; haviug. say C.3U0 of tho 10,000 population, has three voles iu ti of Trustees, a id tho otaur tl'ri districts with, soy population, b.ivc six votes. "There ia wisdom as is wisdom for yo'i. Three fourths of the inhabitants to have a ono tLii il voice in nil niattirs of expenditure, taxation, assiw ii.eirt and j.ciienil legislation for town.

Wnat excuse can those gentlemen, who are resuonsi'jle lor the charter, with th is odious provision, utl'er to the citizens of East New 1'ork for this flagrant inequality unit injustice Outrageous as ib this provision of the charter, there is another equally crude, and which, 1 1 gvtlier with ihe provision I have cited, nirnisiici tho evidence that the authors of the village charter project are wholly incompetent to the task thev have Tims I he village charter, if ware itllilty ot the l'ubv o' auopiuig it, organizes a new government for the lown ol iiow Lots; it iioos not abolish tile existing town government. The town government exists aud will exist until abolished by an act of tlio Legislature, with iic repri rciitalive in theJBi.ardot Supervisors, with its Justices oi the Pence, with its Highway Commissioners, ils town clerk, and all departments and functions of town governments in full vigor, including taxation and expenditure. Do wo want a villago government ou top ol tho town governniDiit? Would it not bo well to abolish ouo government before we adopt nuothor Tho expenses of this double headed govcrnniont will myi.u our luxes larger luau iney aro 111 the City 01 BvuuMyu. When our neyhboriug town of BusUwicit was unui xed to Brooklyu, the old town governmout wns abolished. But the mon who havo assumad the office ol statesmen aud legislators for tho Town of New Lots do not sto; to lacts bo iusinilicaut as duplicating governments over tho samo torritory, with rival powers aud jurisdiction involving Iitigatiou aud needlo.

expenditures. Tho village charter party, of which Mr. Ooopor of tho Sentinel aud Mr. Sam. Davies aro the inonthpioces, aro urging our citizous to vote lor thoir pot project, with all its crude and unjust provisions ou tho ground ot antagonism and hostility to tho Oity of Brooklyn.

Ono would thiuk to read the Sentinel that Brooklyn was a great monitor seeking to swallow and dovour llttlo East Now York. Could lolly and fcoblonoss go farthor than theso exhibit in tubs kind of aavooacy of tho village charter cause. What ground has thoejitor of tho Sentinel or his nsioclatPF, for contlun illy poisoning tho public mlud with representations and hostile soutlmouts against tho Cily of Brooklyn. Let mo warn tbo editor aud his hackors, that tho course they aro pursuing Is hostile to thu beat interests of East Now York, and that if persisted In, their conduct will uot only bo repudiated, but rebuked by tho great body of tho community. The interests of East New York and Brooklyn oro "ono and indivisible." Why should the Sentinel, tho mouthpiece of tho villago ohartor party, persistently at ouso jealous and hostile scntimouts againBt our Brooklyn neighbors? Ib it uot Brooklyu oapitol that has built all our city railroads i Has uot tho City of Brooklyn opened and paved Broadway, Fultou and Atlantic avenues, through which a Btoady stream ot' truvel and business is pouring in upon us, giving to East New York all tho Importance, as a business community that it possesses? Ought wo not to bo on friendly terms with our rich and powerful noighbor which has conferred all theso bouoflts upou us without a dollar of cost to tho community? Did uot Brooklyn capital originally build our gas works and Ii.ib not tho roccut sale of thoso works to another sot of Brooklyn capitalists rendored certain this enlargement aud improvement? Is it uot Brooklyu capital thut is building our houses, stores, and workshops? How much capital aro our builders bringing i into East New York and spending it hero ovory weak in tho erection of buildings? How mauy thousands of dollars, how many hundreds of thousands has tho City of Brooklyn cxpendod iu tho Towu of New Lota in its Water Works improvements How many thousands doca itanuttaUy cxpond in kooplug up thoso Works? Brooklyn population and Brooklyn capilal aro tho instrumentalities ou which East Now York is to roly iu the future, as in tho past, for its growth and prosperity, aud the advocates of tho ono horso villago charter project are not ntrong enough to interrupt tho poworful tides of population and businoss now flowing in to us from our intimate business relations with lho City of Brooklyn.
