Hooley; About this time tho ParX Theatre was erected by Mr. B. Bonton, and the management was undertaken by Mr; Gabriel Harrison, but he foiled to make it a success. After a brief intorval it wan reopened by Mrs. F.

Oopway, whose Hucoosa has been very great, OTHBB PLACES OF AMUSEMENT. Tho success which attended the efforts of Mr. Hooley and Mrs. Oonway induced other managers to try the new field. So the old Tabernacle, on Fulton avenue, near Hoyfc street, was turned into a theatre, and the management assumed by Mr.

L. Donnelly, and last season saw tbe beginning of a now minstrel ball, under tho1 management of Welch, Hughes and White, performers who mid become very popular undor the management of Mr, Hooloy, at tho junction of Flathush and Fulton avenues. They tailed of sucoess. The Academy of Musio was ereoted in 1600, AMUSEMENTS, Tbo Convention and Its Mission. Before we go to press, our correspondent at Rochester will probably hava informed us by telegraph of tho position and prospoots of the struggle which the cohorts of Demooraoy propose to enter upon to day, against tho evil spirit of corruption in public affairs.

The delegates from this county, like those from the rural distriots, have gone to Rochester with an unflinohiug determination to draw a clear lino of demarcation between dishonesty and Democracy. Government of the people, by tho people, and in the interest of the great body of the pooplo, is what the great party who rally under the standards of Douiocraoy associate themselves to obtain. Other political combinations, which have been formed on temporary issues, on sectional feelings, on prejudices of various kinds, or for the promotion of cranky 'isms, may tolerate thieving for the sake of the cause, and welcome the leadership of a shoddy contractor on aocount of his being a shrewd political manager or a dexterous manipulator of patronage and conventions. But Domocracy has neither 'isms to promote in preference to good government, nor a license to bestow on knavery for tho sake of catching votes. For over a dozen years this gret party has beou out of power, but has been held togethor in unbroken allianco by the force of its one great prineiplo of insisting that the peopie shall rule themselves.

It is not conceivable now, that it shall hesitate to condemn any leaders, however'powerf ul, who, by affiliation with the worst elements of the opposite party, have become infected with the anti Democratic habitof perverting legislation to personal ends. The party that has installed the of gold gamblers and the partner of a quarry ring in tho "White House, that has given away millions of acres of public domain to enrich a railroad ring, and that plunders the masses and perverts the whole revenue system of the land by a tariff concocted in the interest of a ring of favorite monopolists, may retain its Murphys and Hank Smiths as leaders of its rival sections, but the Democracy can have no interest, much less any higher motive, in condoning the rascality of men who, calling themselves Democrats, have acted on the bad precedent of the Republican Federal plunderers. No Democrat feols tho slightest doubt that the purgation of tho party from such alien elements is the definite resolve of its representatives at Rochester. To look to the Democratic Convention to inaugurate a new departure in politics to lead and commouce the grand march of the people and the public functionaries, federal as well as local, back to the old Democratic road which officeholders trod gwheu they were salaried servants, not licensed plunderers. The people are ripe for a movement of political purification, of which the New York Court House shall be only the point of departure.

Tho broom of political reform must first be used there, for there the unholy mysteries of the Augean stable have been as yet most plainly revealed. But tho fouler den at Washington has to be purged also, and we look to tho Rochester Convention for the initiation of the system of purgation which shall renovate all the fetid sources of existing political corruption. The Arrckt of Mayor Ilall. The summons of Mayor Hall to a polico court, to answer the charge of the Committee of Seventy of official malfeasance in signing warrants for payment of the evidently fraudulent claims of Ingersoll, Keyser, Garvey is scouted by the one remaining organ of the plunderers as a mere trick to prevent the TUESDAY EVENING. OCT.

A cloar illustration of the practical injustice which is worked by ovtr Bystem of interminable appeals in law cases, to which the lawyers cling as if the object to be attained were the promotion of litigation instead of the final settlement of disputes, is afforded by a case reported last week, of Galvine vs.

Pron tice. Galvin, it was stated, was apprenticed in Prentice's hat factory in 1SG6, and in May 18G1I he sued Prentice for $2 17.50, balance of wages which he claimed was due to him, as he alleged that 2.50 a week of his wages hadbeen held back for ninety nine weeks. The defendant claimed that $2 of this weekly reduction was deducted in payment for instruction afforded to the apprentice, and that the other deduction of fifty cents a week was made by way of security that the apprentice should remain in the factory the full term of three years before quitting the employ. To this the apprentice replied that he did not leave on his own account, but was discharged by the defendant for want of work, and that hence he ought to recover the fifty cents. The jury who first tried the case, in May, 1SC9, found a verdict of Sal for the plaintiff, apparently considering the fifty cents a week to be rightfully due him, but not the $2 a week.

The case was appealed to the General Term, and thenqo to the Court of Appeals. A new trial was ordered, and a verdict found a second time for the plaintiff. Now tho parties have had a third trial, besides the two appeal hearings. Tho costs must have swallowed up, ten times over, the utmost amount that can possibly be in question. In any case a gross injustice has been done to these parties.

It would have been better for the apprentice and the factory owner to have mutually agreed to each throw the full amount in dispute between them into the East River, than to have appealed to the Courts for such "justice," "relief," or whatever other smooth term the lawyers delusively describe as the thing to be got by litigants at their hands. Especially is this law, which is but an ordinary and every day sample of the article, an injustice to the plaintiff. An apprentice in a hat factory is presumedly a person of narrow means, to whom the sum claimed, 8217, or even the amount awarded by the first jury, 51, is a matter of consequence, a sum which he can ill afford to lose. But by these proceedings ho not only loses it but has to spend ten times as much in law costs, and to bo kept dangliugabout the Courts from May, 1809, to September, 1871, and now be no nearer or surer of a final payment of whatever is due to him, than he was at first. The case is so trivial and simple a one that any Police Justice fit for his place ought to be able to settle it, without a jury and without appeal.

If we assume that the ordinary police justice is not a person whose decisions may be relied on, surely any jury of twelve decent citizens can lie trusted to finally decide a simple paltry wages dispute of this sort. The idea that a Justice of the Supreme Court should be called on to try it three times over, and that tho aggregated wisdom of tho General Term and the Court of Appeals of the State should be invoked, in addition, to elucidate this simple and trivial money dispute between a factory owner and his apprentice, stamjis our facility of appeal as having made our civil law a preposterous and mischievous farce. The wisdom and dignity of the highest tribunals in this sovereign State have been occupied for nearly three years in determining whether Mr. Prentice owes his discharged apprentice two dollars a week, or two and a half, or nothing. The fads of the hiring and leaving are undisputed the only possible testimony relevant to the case could be all taken in two hours the man wants his money at once, if any be due him, and a great factory owner can't want to be dragged into three years litigation over one of a hundred hirings of his numerous apprentices.

Yet our civilization has devised so exquisite a system of jurisprudence, that it takes two years to argue this case, at a cost to each party far exceeding the amount in dispute and after all tho controversy is as likely as not to last out three years more. If our army and navy were as' impotent to earn out the alleged purposes of their existence witn reasonable promptitude, as the administration of the law is, tho first battle of Bull Run would not have been reached yet, and the or.tire struggle between the Union and Confederate armies would have lasted till the year 2,000, and ended in a drawn game at last.

Coroner Whitehill, a few days since, sent a sample of kerosene to Professor Squibbs for unalyza tiou, and yesterday received tho following answer: Brooklyn, October 2, 1871. Coroner L. Whitehill, Coroner's Office, Brooklyn: Sin I havo carefully examined tho sample of burning lluid sent to me by men for that purpose, and hud that it is not keroncno at all, but only tho light uaptha conmiojly known as gasolene. It gives off inflammable vapor at tho uatural temperature of to day, namely at 02 decrees and at how union lower temperature it would givo olf luUimmable vapor I ao not know. Tbat irt, both the il isbiug aud burning points of this liquid aro below deKnvs I while no burning lluid is in my judgment sale, whose Hashing point ia below 110 degrees Any manufacturer or storekeeper who would sell such stull' to poor and ignurant families for burning in lamps, is too unsafe aud dangerous to be at largo in any community.

Respectfully, E. lt. Hquidb. Upon the reseipt of the foregoing, a consultation took place between Coroners Jones and Whitehill, by whom a copy of Dr. Squibbs' communication was sent to the Board of Fire Oommissiouors, for such action as might lio within the province of that body.

THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY ADDITIONS. Making a European Tour iu Montague street. How many people spend their lives in vainly wishing that they could visit foreign Bhores, aud gaze upon the treasuries of art garnered in the old cities of Europe? To tho great majority tlio opportunity never oomes but to tho residents of Brooklyn, facilities aro offered which may well atone for tho de nial. Leisurely, and without fatiguo, almost, we may pay, without any appreciable exponse, the choicest treasures of art may be studied and enjoyed in the Reference Gallery of tho Mercantile Library. Yesterday, the "opening day" of this invaluable in stitution, was spread out tbo latest selections made by Noyes during his lato trip to Europe.

It would bo impossible iu one brief article to notice even a fraction of tho choice, raro and valuablo workd recently added the library. No department of literature or art appeal to have been overlooked. From the morning lauds of the farthest East, to the western shores of La Belle France and the British Isles, aro found tho work of representative meu, delineating the genius of their sovcral nationalities and geographical and ethnic pe culiarities. Among tbe PKOMINENT ACQUISITIONS which cannot bo overlooked, wo noticed first, eight folio volumes by Pistolczi describing and illustrating that evor focal poiut of attraction, the Taticau. Next an elaborate art monogram of the Arc de Triomphc showing' in beautiful perspective that splendid memo rial of tho first ompiro, as it strikes the spectator at a distance and thou successive plates, showing every portion of its sculpture iu minutest detail, even the names of the heroes commemorated.

There ia also an illustrated work in three volumes, of the architecture of the "New Paris" as reconstructed by Ilause man. A magnificent collection of lithographs, copies of frescoes, ongraviugs, being publications of the Arundel Society. This contains, among othor gems, a complete sot of plates after Giotto, of scenes in the life of the Virgin Mary others after Fra Angolloo, and some hy Perugino. Somo headB among theso would put our "Page's" to opou shame. Artists would find a congenial work In Turner's "Libre Studorium," throe volumes of plates, including PASTORAL, MARINE, ARCHITECTURAL and historical pictures.

Dante's "Divina Comedia" by Loed Vernon giving in tho original, tho four first editions of this immortal poem printed in parallel columns. Of thiB great work only ono hundred copies havo been printed. For our German friends there is a fine edition of "Der Kibolungeu Roth," and also epocimons of Goethe. Does any one wish to he presoutcd to her MajeBty Queen Victoria Tbey may at least familiarize themselves with works of art on which her eyes have 9ften rested in tho "Royal Gallery of Art," illustrated by copies from tho paintings at Buckingham Palace, Windsor or Osborne also, in a most sumptuous hook, au art treasure itself, in its binding and typography, filled with tho choicest specimens of coramic, vitreous, textile and other decorative arts, to bo foundjn the United Kingdom. Then thore is uiumo's Bplendid botanical work profusely illustrated.

For ecclesiastical antiquaries there is Dugdale't; volumuious "Monasticon Anglicanum," bosks of costumes, ancient and modern, hooks of music, scieuee, mechanics, natural philosophy, aud all presided over by the model librarian, Mr. Noyea aud his courteous assistants. If an inspection of these latent additions t3 the library do not iucito a largely increased subscription list it will he surprising. It is almost a liberal education in itself to have access to such a varied aud valuablo collection. THE FALL CAMPAIGN.

Continuation of the Trial. EXAMINATION OF THE WITNESSES.

The trial of Madame Van Bualdrk, fo the maltreatment of Emily A. Post, was contfnuod after the Kaqle went to presB. The following is tho testimony taken after that time Charles Chambers testified I took Miss Post to the hospital I had to support her in tho carriage all ttia way down. Two men had to help her Into the hospital. Sho was in tho station house eight or ten minutes beforo she went tqhe hospital.

THE GIRL AT DR. SWALSl's WINDOW. Elian 0TConnell ten titled I was stopping at Dr. Swalm'aon tho night oftheQ8th of Auguatlast. I heard the boll ring and looked out of the window.

I saw two men helping the sick lady up on the stoop, and they said now you stay thero until they come. The sick lady asked me then to lot her come in. I refused, as I did not know her. A lady got out of the carriage and said that it waa very Etrange I wonld not let a friend of Dr. Swalm's in, I Bald I could not bocauso I did not know hor.

The lady said that sho was looking for a family named Jones, in Gold street, I thought the Biok lady was intoxicated. Ono of the mon helpod her into tho coach again. Miss Henderson and mysolf were tho only persons in tho house on that night, Cross examined Tho aick lady asked after a Mr. Wiggins; I told hor ho lived in Willoughby otreot, near Prmcc; I hoard Mrs. Van Dunkirk say to tho sick ladjr that if she did not toll them whereto go, sho would put her in the Station House; tho sick lady said to me, "I think you aro an awful woman to let me sit hero and Buffer;" to this I Baid, "If you aro flick, I am sorry, but I cannot lot you iu." THE COMPANION OF ELLEN O'DONNELL.

Elizabeth Henderson testified I was wlthMiss O'Don nell at Dr. Swalm's house on the 23th of August; Miss ODonnell oallcd mo to tho window; I went there and saw a woman sitting on tho Bteps and two men on the sidewalk; a woman got out of tho carriago and said, UI think it's very Btrango that you won't let Dr. Swalm's friends in;" Miss O'Donnell replied that she could not let her in as Bhe was a stranger; Mra. Van Buskirt said that the girl was a stranger to hor, and that Bho hadbeen looking for her friendB in Gold stroot, but could not find them: Mrs. Van Boskirk and Dr.

Perry helped tho sick lady into the coach; the driver brought a Batchcl down off the stoop. THE PATHEB RECALLED, P. K. Post examined by Mr. Spencer I formerly livod in Brooklyn; I knew Dr.

Swalm anTI Mr. Wiggins for about twenty five years; my daughter knew them also; I used to live in Gold Btreetand also in Willjughby Stt63t. A EEPOBTE Ii ON THE STAND, William Walton testified I was present at a conversation between Mrs. Van Buskirk aud Chief Cauip beH, after she was arrested. (A report in the Sv shown to the witness.) That Is a correct report of Hie main points of tbo conversation.

Judge Morris then read part of tho answer of Mrs. Van Buskirk to a question of Chiof Campbell contained in this report, as follows Q. How came she to tell you that it was her father who had brought hor? A. Sho said it horsolf; she did not want me to take her to Gold street, Brooklyn; I said I can't take the responsibility, and if vou havo a father and mother I will teko you to them and don't worry. During the examination of this witness Mr.

Speucor grew quite excited, and inveighed against the practice of interviewing at great length. THE PABTY SENT TO ADELPHI STREET. Daniel Fricl testified On the night of tho 28tb of August I saw Dr, Perry and Mrs. Van Buskirk at the foot of the hill on Myrtle avenue; I was in company with Mr. Mullor and Mr, Cornell tho carriago drove up to the sidowalk to meet us; oue of tho ladies was Blck apparently it was about ton minutes to ono they asked for 102 Adelphi street, I directed them to it, and thoy drove up the hill.

A PHYSICIAN FROM THE HOSPITAL. Dr. Walter Read testified: I am attached to tho Brooklyn City Hospital I was there when Miss Po3t was brought to tho Hospital she was very weak and excited, and in great pain her pulso was 120 to the minute; sho was in the second stago of labor; her mouth was dry and hertonguo coated; judging from tho temperature of the parts and tho condition of the patient, sho must havo been iu labor several hours sho waa delivered noxt day by Dr. Ualch Drs. KiBsam, father and Bon, Dr.

Minor, Dr. Kushmore, Dr. Balch and myself were present; sue arrived at tho Hospital about a quarter to three o'clock in tho morning, and was delivered at one o'clock iu the afternoon; she died tho noxt morning at four I was present at tho post mortem examination wo found the parts very much contused, and two gangrenous spots thero was no malformation, and no indication of previous ill hoalth a amah portion of the afterbirth bad not been removed; I ascribe tho death of Miss Post to oxhaustiou from tedious labor. The child had gono the full terra tho effect of riding the woman about in her condition, would bo to oxhaust her, and render her labor moro difficult. Tho child was more than the averaeo sfzo it weighed nine and a quarter pounds; tho head was a little larger than the average, and was nllod with wator.

Cross examined The average weight of ohildren when born is between six and seven pounds. The pressure of the head would account for the contused spots found at the post mortem. The delivery was by means of forceps. Great mental shocks sometimes hasten labor and sometimes retard it. There wore five phyBicians present when Bho was delivered.

They wero present about twenty minutes. I do not know how many pieces of the afterbirth remained. I removed as much aB I could. ANOTHER PHYSICIAN PROM THE HOSPITAL. Dr.

James M. Minor, of tho Brooklyn Citv Hosnital. testified: I havo been a physician for thirty three years. I was present when the child was delivered. I saw her about an hour before that.

Her uervbus system appeared to he exhausted. I caunot tell how long sho was in labor. Judging from her condition and Dr. Head's testimony, I think the labor must have boen very mucn protracted, it must nave commenced several hours before sho arrived at tho hosnital. It mav happen at any delivery that portions of tho afterbirth should remain.

It should be removed if possible. It was necessary to uso forcepB to doliver tho child. Cross examined There are rapid and there are protracted labors. Afgreat mental or physical shock wouiu uavo a serious eueci on tno lauor. ANOTHER HOSPITAL PHYSICIAN.

Josenh C. Hntchinsen. one of the nhvsicians from the hospital, testified I should think that Miss Post must nave oeen in laDOr some nours Deioro sue was taken to tbe City Hospital to leavo portions of the afterbirth is sometimes unavoidable. O. Is it anv evidence of unskillful nractico bv the physician where such portions are loft A.

I think it may not be, undor certain circumstances, as there might be danger in taking that out which should bo expellpd naturally to drive a woman through the streets in the first etagoa of labor, as she was driven, would produco a good deal of nervous shock and Irritation, aud the effect of that Bhock, I should think, would tend to exbsuat her under any circumstances it would havo such tendency. Cross examined It would exhaust her Iosb if sho was not iu labor, and was going to a place where sho could got reliof. STILL ANOTHER HOSPITAL PHYSICIAN. Dr. Daniel E.

Kissam testified I was nrosont at the City Hospital when Miss Post was doliverod of a child the instruments wcro properly applied by Dr. Ualch when Miss Post waa taken to tbe hospital I havo no doubt that she had been iu labor a number of hours, eight or ten, pc rhaptt more tho effect upon a woman in that condition being driven through the streets in a carriage would be a tendency to aggravate any had symptoms that might have set in it would tend to oxhaust her, and if fhe were already exhausted it would aggravate the trouble. Cross esamiued I first Baw the lady about one o'clock on that day if 1 had been there when sho arrived at tho hospital, and her condition at that time had come on in the natural course of things, I think that I tdiould have delivered hor with instruments if her pulse had been sufficient to justify such a courso I should nave done it from the condition of the ohild I do notsupposo that there was any mechanical obstruction tho head of tho child was hardly larger than usual the forceps were used under my direction I think the death of Miss Post was due to the results of protracted labor and that delay iu dolivery waa preju dicial io ncr. MEDICAL EXPERTS. Dr.

John Byrne testified I have beon a physician and surgeon for over twonty threo years from tho statement of Dr. Heed I judge that Miss Post must havo been iu labor about tou hours when sho was taken to tbe hospital I would consider that her condition as described by tho hospital physician was owihr to her having been driven through tho streets, aud that labor would bo impeded for tho same reason. Cross examiuod I base my opinion on her appearance, as dcBcribed, when she was taken to tho station nouse. Dr. James Crane was the next witness.

Ho testified that the exhausted condition Miss Post was in probably arose from protracted labor, lasting from twelvo to forty eight hours the effect upon her to be driven across tho streets in that state would aggravate tho exhausted condition and imporil tho woman's life; tho fact that thero was any after birth left, would bo no ovidenco of unskillful treatment by tho physician. Cross examined I havo not been called upon tore move it, ha two cases in a hundred. THE CLOSE OP THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY. Dr. Lewis Balch, houso physician of the Brooklyn City Hospital, testified: I remomber Emily A.

Post being taken to tho hospital and seeing hor thero at 8 A. of August 29; she waB then in tbo second stago of labor, aud in a low, weak condition; I doliverod her of a child by the use of instruments; sho appeared to Blowly improve alter she was first brought in, which was the rcaf on the instruments wero not applied sooner; naturo appeared to be performiug its work that is up to twelve o'clock; in my opinion tho child had been dead about twelve hours wheu the woman waa delivered. Dr. Heed, who is also attached to the hospital, toatl fled that at first he did not tbiuk tho woman was a fit subject for the instruments. Cross examined I examined her at A.

whon she first arrived I bad been prcbout at about a dozen cases of child birth before. This concluded tho mudical tostimony, aud the Court at that stage of the proceeding adjourned to 10 A. M. to day. LA.W INTELLIGENCE.

Conference Between the City Authorities and the Farmers. The Wallabout Suggested as a Suitable Location. Prospect of a Satisfactory Solution of the Problem. In accordance with tho resolution adopted at the last mooting of the Board of Aldermen, a Special Committee, consiBting of Aldormon Borgen, Clancy, Weekes, rUcbarduon and Stewart, was appointed to confer with tho farmers of Long Island and othor par tics interested in tho establishment of A PUBLIC BIAHKET in Brooklyn, for the sale of Long Island product A meeting of tho Committee was hold at nooa yesterday, when Aldermen Borgen, Boggs, Weekes, Uich ardson, Nolan and narman were proaent on behalf of the city.

Among the farmers and others present were John O'Donnoll, of the Jamaica Standard, J. H. Van Brunt, ex Aid. Wyckoff and T. N.

Bergen, of New Utrecht, and Henry Jj. Wyckoff, of New Lots. Tho meeting was called to oider by Aid. Borgon, who Baidithad beou callod is order that tho farmers of Long Island, grocers, aud others intorotod iu the mattor, might givo thoir views respecting the establishment of a market in this aity, aud also its location. It was a mattor in which a vary largo numbar of persons were interested, and ho would bo glad to hear what the farmers had to aay about it.

Ho was sorry to see so small a number of persons present, and was at a loss to account for it, as ho had sont notlcos to all tbo postmasters and had also very extensively advertised it. Mr. O'Oonnell said one reason why there was not a larger number of farmers present was bocauso last Winter tho farmers of Kings and Queoua Counties had appointed a committee to take charge of tho matter. The members of tho Commlttoe wero present. It had been turmed over to them, and therefore tho farmers did not think it nocessary to turn oufc in a largo body.

Tho question as to where the markoc SHOULD BE LOCATED must be left to the Committee, but be suggested that it should have a wator front, as by tbat moans thoy would attract both grocorymon and farmers. The farmers of Long Island had been almost driven ont of Now York by collectors and policemen, nd iu their name he abed tbat tho City of Brooklyu givo them a square, or it not that, then a street. The farmers Boomed to bo in favor the ground in the neighborhood of tbe Wallabout basin, as being a central location and having a water front. Aid. Boggs stated that it would not be a very groat while before tho Naval Hospital was removed, as ho understood that tho Government was in favor of hav ine tho location changed.

Mr. WillettP, of Flusbmg, thought tbat tho Wallabout was the best locition tbat could bo selected, Mr. Van Brunt waa of tbe aauio opinion. Ex Aid. Wyckoff, of Now Utrecht, aarood with what Mr.

O'Donnoll had said, although he supposed tho best location would bo between the Fulton and Catherine Terries. That was, however, too oxpensive, aud no doubt the best place that could be selected would be at the loot of Washington avouue. Mr. O'DonneU again took the floor, and stated that if the market should be established at the foot of Washington avdnue, it would stand a good chauco of boiug a permanent institiitiou, as thero wcro amplo facilities for vessels to land there. In getting possession of tho property it would be woil fur the City authorities to remember that to establish a market thero would result iu a largo increase in the value of tho taxablo property Burrounding it.

There was also another poiut to be borne in mind, which wa3 that to hve a market in Brooklyn would ho beneficial in a sanitary point of vit for the conumora would bo ablo to get their produce fresh from tho farmor's wagon, whereas it was now very often three days old wheu it was sold by the groct ryman. He had hoped to meet some 01' the grocerjmen of Brooklyn in order to ascertain what their views were respecting tho matter as it was important, not only to tho farmers, but also to tho consumers that tho middlemen should not thrivo hore as they had in Now York. Mr. O'DonneU reiterated hia statements that it was all important that tho market should havo a water front, as at cortain seasons of the year Long Island produced moro produce than was consumed iu the cities of New York and Brooklyn combined. Mr.

Osgood, a groceryman, said tho grocorymon of this city haa experienced a great deal of trouble iu getting from this city to New York and back again. It waa absolutely necessary to havo a market iu this city and tho only place suitable for tho purpose, waa in his opinion, at the foot of Washington avenue, ANOTHER LOCATION. Mr. B. T.

Lynch called tho attention of the Cora mitteo to a location in the Beyond Ward, near the Catherine street Ferry, known as Mitchell's Wharf." Ho said it had a front of about seven hundred feet, and in answer to questions put by Alderman Bergen, he stated tbat it could be leased or purchased, and took in two squares, or about thirty two lots. It was bounded by Jay and Pearl streets, and from the water froni to John street, and was owned by tho heirs of Samuel Mitchell. About uyo years ago it could havo beon purchased for about $60,000, to day it itould coft, he thought, $100,000. It was only about three blocks from tbo bridge. A TEMPORARY EXPEDIENT Aid.

Richardson Eaid ho believed it would be necessary to furnish accommodation of atemporary character until iho city Bhoulk succeed iu gottmg possession at a permanent location. He had peon both Fort Greou place and Fourth avonuo, suggested as places whore farmers could drive their carts and soil to either tho housekeeper or grocerymeu. It might bo found that such a system would be nocessary even after tho establishment of permanent markets as he believed that Brooklyu could not bo suppliod froni ono or oven two of those places. Some informal discussion ensued as to the method of eelliug from carta, aud then Aid. Bergen tbanked Mr.

O'DonneU and his associates for thoir information, and stated that tbe matter would be taken into immediate consideration by tho Committee, and as it was one in which both Congressmen from this city, Mr. Kinselhi and Gen. Slocum had promised theirassistance ho bad no doubt hut that somo satisfactory arrangement would bo made. Mr. O'DonneU on behalf of himself and friends" thanked tho Committee for their courtesy and tho meeting then adjourned.

THE ALLEGED ABORTIONIST. Applicctioii mado by Counsel to admit Dr. J. Daviti to SSiiil. This morning in the criminal branch of tho City Court, beforo the continuation of the trial of Madam Van Buskirk was taken, application wa3 made ou behalf of J.

Davis, M. lo admit him to id. Davis was arrested lar.fc Saturday, on a charge of having circulated thousands of cards throughout tho city advertising medicines to cure female irregularities. DiBtrict Attorney Morris opposed the application, saving tbat he had ample proof that the man Davis was an abortionist, aud had practised his infamous trade iu this city. The counsel for Davis claimed that the offence for which he was indicted was only a misdemeanor, cud bail should be takeu of courso.

Judge McCuc replied that he would decide the question, during the day, and announce his decision. OUR CORRESPONDENCE. 'E'lic Philharmonic Difficulty. To the Editors of the Brooklyn Eagle: You must probe a sore in the right place if you went a cure. To revivo the Philharmonic you must have a new deal.

Dr. Emmons came in oue day from church, hung bi9 hat on tho accustomed nail behind the door, and eaid I havo preached my last sermon as pastor in Franklin. I bave sense enough now to ro sign, and I mean to do it." Somo meu have not sonse enough to do this. Thoy hang on to a position to tho death. Let some younger men havo a chance.

Bring in some musical talent to tho mauagemout, or public meetings will only galvanize a corpse. You want youug blood. O. Tho Philharmonic "Call." tlie Editor oftlic Brooklyn Eagle: I am glad to know that President Wyman has favorably considered tho excellent suggestion of tho Eagle, and called a meeting of the Director of the rhilharmonic Society for Tuesday night next, at the Wrectors' room in the Academy of Music, and to which be cordUUy invites all the citizens of Brooklyn who aro interested in Philharmonic affairs. The only mistake I can discover in the call is, that it is to tako place in the Directors' room, for undoubtedly the great rush of enthusiastic lovers of music will exceed oven tho capacity of tho Academy itself.

Of course the men who have been heard to Bay that they havo always been subscribers, and would gladly subscribe again, will be there, and tho married men, having had timo to consult their wives will bo thore, and maidens who admire tho Prima Donna's Dioo fixings more than her roulade will be there, and as young blood has been suggested, youug "Bloods" of tho naming neck tie order will be thero to assist tho aforerqontiouod maidens in the flirtation scenes. But seriously. Mr. Kditor, uow is the time for all persona who have been howling about tbo incompetency of the Directors to come forward and teach them a lesson in Philharmonic management that will be lasting. If tb failure of tho Philharmonic is duo to the inaction or incompetency 01 tho Directors, let iii know it; and if the Directors have not been remiss in flic discharge of their dutie3, and for no otbei reason than' tho want of proper support from the citizens, have been compelled to suspend tlio concerts, let us know that.

So let there Ins a kirge attendance at the meeting to morrow night, for ou that oc must bo dt cided the fate of tho Philharmonic concerts for tuo scaBon of 1871 2. H. The Ctcsu oi i'ctu SHarjriiijrtou Io the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: On the 14th inst. the notorious thief, Pete Harrington, of tho Ninth Ward, robbed the drawer of the City Lino Hotel, in Flathush, of $5 all tho money in tho till at tho timo for which offense ho was arrested on a warrant issued by Justice Walsh. Ho was tried on tho 26th, and the cvidenco of hia guilt was so elnar that the Judgo waa compelled to convict him, which ho did, and sentencod'tho thief to pay a line of $15 or go to Jail twenty live days Whotbor tho fine was paid or not I cannot say; hut Mr.

Harrington was back again in bis old haunts in tho Ninth Ward iu two hours from the time ho was arraigned bofore tho Court, ready to resumo his protltablo and safo profession (while a Walsh Bits on tho Bench) of till tapping. It ia proper, however, to Btate in this connection that Hon. Mr. Harrington is a.vory valuablo individual at stuffing ballot boxes and managing primary elections; and at this time (on the eve of another important election) his valnoblo lervicos could not bo dispensed with henco his Honor's leniency in shielding his political friends and associates from tho Penitentiary.

One of tho reporters of the Eagle interviewed Jub tico Waleh in regard to tho above communication on Saturday afternoon. Justico Walsh Bays tbo wholo statement is perverted. In the first placo, Harrington is not "a notorious thief." In tho next placo, there was no proof that five dollars were taken, and under all tho circumstances iu tho case, tho Justico thought that imprisonment in Jail for twouty fi) days, or a fine of $115, would satiBfy the ends of justice Somo timo Blnce, be says ho had occasion to lino Mr. CloBkoy for 0 violation of ordinance, and thia, ho thinks, accounts for the animuB displayed in tho communication.

Wolfe A No. 18 South William st, N. sole importers. el StTiAS Opening of the New House of Amusement. Successful Inauguration of the Brooklyn Theatre.

The Inaugural Address, the Comedy and the Company. THE THEATBICAL HISTORY OF BROOKLYN. The new thetXtro was opened last night. The people of the oifcy, or at least thoso who aro Interested in things theatrical, have been watching foe weeks tho progress of tho building of this new temple of the dramatic art, and it was with satisfaction that they saw a substantial ediflco grow up on tho corner of Johnson and Washington streets. With an affectionate interest they havo watchefl tho development of the plans of tho architect and tho realization of tho hopes and aspirations we might say the life long aspirations of the managers.

Those who havo tho iiiterost of Brooklyn at heart, could not but havo been pleased with tho opening of tho flrBt house for public entertainment that' has boen worthy of the city. From time to time the Eagle has chronicled tho progress of this house, and finally, when it was finished, it gave a description of ita beauties, so that at this time it is unnecessary to attempt to lay before our readers a great number of whom muBfc have been present last night a description of the theatre. Bo It our duty now to consider the merits of tho ladies and gentlemen who appeared last night as candidates for public favor, In this, our fair olty. "Money," the elegant comedy from the pen of Lord Lytton, was tho medium through which the now company was introduced to the Brooklyn public, and was, we may remark parenthetically, most excellently performed. Of course, the house was crowded, and a greater number stood outside and watched tho fortunate possessors of seats go in.

It Is a remarkable fact that precisely at the hour of sovon o'clock tho doors were thrown open, and that promptly at the hour of eight tho onrtain went up. It is worth whilo recording the fact, for it is so seldom that faith is kept with the public in this manner, and that both builders and managers Bhould bo congratulated and it is very much doubted whether such similar instance of good faith is known in thia country. But certain it is that at oight o'olock the curtain went up and discovered the full strength of the company standing upon tho stage. The Star Spanglod Banner" was sung, Jlias Minnie Conway, Miss Emma Howaon and Mr. Eugeuo Clarke leading, and it was greeted with rapturous applause At its closu Mr.

ami Mrs. Conway entered upon the stage, and, being recognized, they wcro accorded such a reception as but few public peoplo receive in their lifetime. The audienco, in their endeavor to congratulate the managers upon at las having a theatre worthy their efforts in art, seemed to grow frantic in thoir applause. When at latjt the noise had subsided, Mr. Conway bogan the address, which was written by Mr.

John Brougham. He read the first portion and Mrs. Conway the lattor. The address is exceedingly clever and certainly is in its author's best vein. This closed tho preliminary periorniauce, at.il, amid deafening applause, the curtain dropped.

In a few minutes it went up again, and tho play of ''Money" bogan. It is not necessary to describe the plot of a play so well known as this standard comedy is. Suflico it, upon this score, to say, that it was given without curtailment, and now we are ready to consider the claims of the ladie3 and gentlemen who appeared last evening. Mr. Frauk Roche, who undertook the part ot Alfred Evelyn, is a young gentleman who came from Boston, and is certainly an acquisition.

A careful reader, thoroughly acquainted with stage business, ho showed himself to bo a painstaking actor, and an artist in bis profession. Ho made a decided impression last night, and without doubt will become a great favorite with tho Brooklyn public. Mr. Chippendale is an old face to the public, and oue that has been very popular for years. It iB unnecessary to say that ho performed his part well, because that is a foregone conclusion, but it must be recorded that he was very warmly welcomed.

Mr. E. Lamb is another gentlemen too well known to Brooklyn to require introduction. That he played Mr. Graves inimitably is well understood.

This certainly is true, that ho received upon his appearance, such a receptiou as tho greatest of all great actor. might well bo proud of. Mr. M. A.

Kennedy, who played the part of Sir Frederick Blunt, the fop of tho play, is au excellent actor, having a just appreciation of tho claims of tho part upon him. The part of fop upon the stage is generally overdrawn, but Mr. Kennedy last night gave a judicious aud intelligent representation of the part. As Captain Smooth, Mr. It.

C. White was very good. It not a very prominent part, and did not give tho gentleman au opportunity to de velop tho power he evidently possosse3. Mr. Charles as Mr, David Stout, too, was good, and tho same remark will apply to Mr.

Loveday as Lord Gloss more, who may bo put in tho same category. Mr. George Spear is a man of genius. A hotter bit of character acting has not been seen upon tho stage a long timo than thia gentleman did as tho Old Member. Messrs.

Jtfackay, Edwards and Wright as Sharp, Servant and Take respectively, were fully equal to tho requirements of tho parts entrusted to them, alias Ella Burns porformed the part of Clara Dotglass. The lady is a One reader, and though labor ing under some restraint last oveniug, gave cvidenco of ability and will be a great favorite. Mrs. Farren of course is excellent. Hor position in tho drama of America was won some years ago.

She is ail actress of great experience and excellence. Miss Maud Ernest played tlio part of Gcorgiana Vcwy. The same performance will be repeated to night and tc morrow we shall be able to speak with consideration of the characters. Tho opening night was certainly very successful, aud Mr. and Mrs.

Conway must he two very happy people. With an elegant theatre, a most excellent company, and their new enterprise stamped with tho endorsement of the public, they can hardly wish for anything more iu this world. In this connection a consideration of the previous theatrical hidtory of Brooklyn will not be uuiutor esting THE FIRST THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE. About fort.v six years ago this present season fashionable circles of tho village of Brooklyn were agitated by a report that thero was to be a theatrical entertainment offered for thoir consideration. Doubtless there are a few still living in the city who remember that first entertainment, as fifty years hcuce there will he old men who will recall with pleasure the memory of their attenuance to night at the new Brooklyn theatre.

Gas ami many other modern improvements were then not introduced. Mrs. Chester's hotel, or coffee houfic, on tho easterly side of JFrout near James street, was the location of the improvised theatre, aud George Handel Hill was tho dramatic attraction. This was the embryo actor, liftecn years old, of tho afterward well known Yankee Hill. He was a graduate of the old Park.

Songs, reoitatlooa and dances, and a new and popular Indian war danco were tho leading attractions. The next actor of noto who was popular with a Brooklyn audience, was a colored comedian named John Hewlott, a native of itockaway, who gave an es tertainment at Dufion'a Military Garden, located where the County Court House now standB. He appeared in Brooklyn in December, 1825, and the bill of tho evening begins thus: The New York and London comedian, Mr. Hewlett, (Shakspeare's proud representative), respectfully informs the ladies and gontlemon of this village" The admission was fifty cents. Tho doors were open at five o'clock, performance to commence at half past six.

THE FIRST THEATRES. In the winter of 1820 and 1827 tho prospect of a theatre began to be agitated. One was erected iu May, 1828, between Nassau and Concord streets. It was an exceedingly modest building, and was not looked upon with groat favor by the citizens. It was known as tho Brooklyn Amphitheatre.

The character of the performances did not suit the Loug Island Star. It languished along for some time. Ono evening a performance was announced and tho audience assembled, but the curtain did not rise. The audience became impa tient; finally it was understood that tho perforniers and managers had left, and the audience was cheated out of its money, which ffo exasperated the unruly portion that they completely tore out the Interior, ami the Brooklyn AnipHtbealrc came to an uutuiv1y ond. Previous to this, however, performances boen given in the long room of Mrs.

Chester's Exchange Coffee House, iu Front street. The next place of amusement anythiu at all approaching permanency was tho theatre at DUFLON's MILITARY GARDEN. Thia was a very favorite pleasure garden, popular not only with Brooklyn people but with New Yoraers, who were attracted to it by the high reputation for tbo excellence of its beverages and edibles. Included in its precincts waB a long, low room, at one end of which was erected a rude stage, made by placing boards upon paw and the scenery cousisted simply of screens painted by Alonzo Chappell, whose name will now bo recognized as one of the first artists of tbo city. In 1818 the hotel was fitted up and callod "Tho Brooklyn Con cert Hall," and subsequently the Brooklyn Atheueum.

It ceased to exist in 1849. THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM was ercctrd by Mr. John E. Caramyer, in 1850, at tho corner of Orange and Fulton streets. It is still standing, and is now occupied as an armory by tbo Twenty third Regiment, It is a thrcc story brick building, the secoud floor of whloh was uBed as a'musoum, and the third floor as a theatre.

The company engaged em braced in its list tho names of many who hare sineo become famous, as, for instance, Mr, and Mrs. Joe Jefferson, Mr. F. B. Conway, Mr.

and Mrs. D. P. Bow ers, Mr. F.

Chanfrau and others. That, too, however, died out, aud the building was turned to other uses. The next attempt at starting a permanent place of amusement, was ono that did no honor to tho city and as long as it existed was a disgrace to the town. It was called BURTIR VARIETIES. It was a variety entertainment of a very low char ac tor, and the visitors woro served with drinks aud cigars in the auditorium by womon of a loose reputa tion.

It was at this period that Broadway was Hood with what were then known as 'protty waiter girl1 aaloons; the ohief among which was tho "Metropolitan." Tho proprietor of this saloon established a branch at the oornor of Court and Itomsen streets, since occupied by B. Hooley, as a minstrel hall. This branch saloon was ovon worse In Its character than Burtla1 Varieties; and flnallyo ropresontatlvo of this Journal visited each place, and wroto a description of them, de nouncing them, and calling upon tho Mayor to sup press tnom. This official, thus having his attontion directed to thorn, put into force an almost forgotten ordinance, and the blots on the fair fame ol tho city were wiped out. THE NEXT ATTEMPT at a place of amusement was mado by a son of E.

P. Christy and a gentleman named Foster. Sucoess did aot attend thoir offorts and thoy sold out to It. English Opeba in Bbooklyn. On Thursday next the Parepa Bosa English Opera Company appear at our Academy for the first time, on whloh occasion the popular, opera of La Fille du Regiment" will be produced, with tho following strong cast Mr, Tom Karl as Tonio, Mr.

Aynsely Cook as Sulpizio, Mr. Ellis Eyse as Hortenstus, Mr. Guatavus Halt as The Corporal, Mrs. AynBoly Cook as The Marchioness, and Madame Parepa Kosa aB Maria, Conductor, Mr. Carl Rosa.

On Thursday, October 5, Lefmigwell, the burlesque actor, will make his first appearance thia week. Grand Opera House. The reappearance, after a long absence, of two favorite and very popular actors, and tho production of a new Irish drama, filled the Grand Opera House last night to overflowing, and presented on the stago and in tho auditorium a scene of unexceptional brilliance and splendor.

The play was written by Edward Falconer, who has done so well in tho same direction on former occasions as to secure him an immunity from the flippancies of criticism on the prosent. With Falconer, and tho Florences as an incitomcnt, it is presumable that all who visited tho Grand Opera Houso last night did so with a mathematical certainty of being well ontcrtainod, and in that they made no mistake. The new piece is entitled "Eileen Oge," and is not improperly characterized as a "fresh, romantic IriBh drama," and it is presented with new scenery, costumes, and every required accessory that could add to ita attractiveness. The cast of characters was also excellent, and included Mr. and Mrs.

Florence, Geo, Clark, Miss Evans, Mr. W. Fisk, and very ctrong auxiliaries. An Irish play is always repleto with oxtravagances, and "Eileen Oge," Is not an exception in that respect, but it is a good play, and gave great pleasure to the large audience who applauded it rapturously. Tho welcomo ex ended to Mr.

and Mrs. Florence was cordial and evidently sincere, and the piece will, we vonture to predict, be a source of delight to many for some time to come. MUSICAL NOTES. The advent of the noted German tenor Wachtcl, has created quite a furor among the German population, and the Stadt Theatre, New York, is crowded to excess nightly, with the most enthusiastic audiences. On Saturday night Madame Parepa Itosa was a dolightod auditor of tho unequalled singing of Herr Wachtel, in the role of Manrico in "Trovatore," and she rapturously applauded him.

Wachtcl porformed in "Martha" last night, aud on Wednesday appears in "Fra Diavolo." It is a groat treat to hear such a tenor as ho is iu those days of passe slugers. His acting, too, Is marked by such a rcshuest and originality that what 'with that and his singing ho sustains tbe whole performance. We aro glad to note that Mr. Carl Rosa's enterprise is such a success. That able financial manager Mr.

Seguin, is the Treasurer of the troupe at tho Stadt Theatre. THE BEECHER INSURANCE CLAIM. The Correspondence between tne Company ana Mr flceclier. The following communications will explain themselves. Newauk.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eajlc: M' Dkaii Siu We notico iu your in3uo of the 2Gth an article from the Insurance Times beaded "I'crtunato Discovery oi a ijost Uuouincnt," relating to tho "BfceliLT Claim," which places our Company in a very unjust position, and tends to mislead the public iimiu as to tne aippoditiou on our part to treat our policv holders with equity and liberality. I would most respectfully submit the following for publication, trusting itviil meet with its object iu correcting erroneous conclusions drawn from tho above mentioned article. I urn.

Sir, yours very O. 11, Bit ink ii off. Secretary, THE COMPANY'S VERSION. Newauk, September 30, 1871. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I bee to correct a statement in vour nanor an to tlio mutter of Lieutenant Beecher's policy with this Company.

The non appearance or finding of the policy had nothing whatever to do the cane, and that question nevar raised, tho Company aotiug on tho mattor tlio same as if the policy had been presented, according to the facts as coming to the Directors. Tho stato of the caeo in simply this Lieutenant Iiccchor was insured for $3,000 he paid two annual premiuma waB oruoreu to tne irontiers uuriug the Indian troubles. Our agent at WashinRton, who insured him, requested us to forward a war permit, which we did, charging the usual rate of five per cent, oxtra. This LIEUT. BEECHES DID NOT PAT, and tho permit was returnod with statements to us that uewouia lane jus own risk." The receipt for tho third annual premium was also returned as unnaid and cancelled.

Soon after wo woro advised by letter of his uavmg oeon Kiueu in name witn tlio Indians," and inquiring what tho Company would do about it. Tho matter being reforred to tho Executive Committee.wlth a presentation of tho easo as hereinbefore stated, they decided that the policy was forfeited by not having or paying for war permit, as por restrictions in policy, and that to rocoguizo it as a claim would bo setting a dangerous precedent. Itecently, however, tho brother of Lieutenant Bencher brought to our attention in the most friendly spirit, (making NO CLAIM LEGALLY) the facts as to the reasons for his brother not tsiMnir and paying for tho permit and the last premium; to iul' timet mut uu um uoi roiuse, out was not ablo to pay them for want of means, and that ho was not killed iu battle, but was overtaken by a roving baud of Indians, while in chargo of a supply transportation train, aud killed by them that his mother had advanced him money to extricate himself from dllUcultios as Quarter Planter, with the Government, and had been placed in embarrassing circumstances by it, and looked to the lite policy to relieve her. Ho made au earnest appeal to tbe company to reconsider the matter, which, in tho same friendly spirit, they did, and on statements mado writing as to (he circumstances of the death, by General HliLiidan and Forsyth (afterwards made under oatu), tbe company took action, alter au interview with his brother at Albany, as stated in the following letter, paying what they would have beeu liable for under the: nun i'orfi'iting features of the policy, by nonpayment of third annual piomium, as if he had takou and paid for war risks, wlucli was deducted.

Respectfully, Chableb Bbeghkb, Arrested on SrsnoiON. Last evening Sergeant Campbell arrested a young man named William Pooley, who was conducting himself in a very suspicious manner In tho Fourth Proolnct. Pooloy went into several houses, making inquiries for different parties, it iB supposed on tho pretenoo of commit ting a robbcrv. Ho had an accomplice with him who escaped. Ho belongs to Now York, but cannot givo any satisiactory account or nimsolf.

Winifred McGovern was arrested in Platbush, by Sergeant 0Brion. Whon arrostod sho hadconcealod uudcr her shawl a woolen robo, and a gentleman's gray coat, wuiou aro suppoBca to nave boon stolen, Sho falls to givo a satisfactory aocount of herself. Both parties aro hold for Court, Mayor from attending the Rochester Convention. It is, however, the only practical step that has yet been taken, except the coup d'etat which placed Mr. Green in charge of the uu burnedresiduumof the Comptroller's accounts.

Somebody ought to be brought into Court and accused of the crime, which has evidently been committed, either by the authorities who paid away the public money, or tho contractors who received it, or both. Mayor Hall is probably the most innocent of the whole crowd, his offence being more likely to have resulted from the heedlessness which ho still exhibits at every stage of tho affair. He is therefore the most likely to tell all that he knows, having least motivo for concealment. It is probably on this ground that tho Committee of Seventy selected him as the firafc party to be prosecuted. They give him credit for having a personal pride which would revolt from being arraigned in Court on accusation of a vulgar and mercenary crime; and expect, by forcing him to save his own character, to extract from his lips information which will afford a foothold for more serious proceedings against the men who pocketed the stolon money.

The affidavit of tho elerk Copland, on which tho summons was granted, does not raise moro than a suspicion against Mr. Hall. It pic tures Ingersoll as the invariable roceivor of the money, and Tweed as the invariable certifier to the genuineness of tho demand, and leaves it as a mere inference how the Mayor could pos sibly have been induced to sign warrants so evidently fraudulent. There is a gap left in the story of the fraudulent claims, which only the Mayor can fill. These warrants were sent to him, day after day, for preposterously largo and repeated claims.

It is for him to say whether he over sent for Ingersoll, or for Tweed, to say to the one, how come your bills to be so largo, or to the other, are you sure that you received, on account of the Supervisors qver whom you preside, all this public work, for which you certify the bills It may turn out that the Mayor did thus inquire, and even remonstrate, but that the sterner will of the Grand Sachem prevailed over his scruples. At any rate, some such supposition must be imagined, in order to even partially excuse the Mayor. By arresting him as a co conspirator against tho treasury, the Seventy give him one last opportunity to clear his skirts of the imputation of sharing in the barefaced frauds, the successof which was promoted by his official signature. The Albany Argus calls attention to a law of the last Legislature, by which Senators are no longer to bo voted for on tbo State Ticket. It says that at tho ensuing election the ballot endorsed "Stato" is to contain only tho names of Stato and county officers Senators will bo voted for on a separate ballot endorsed "Senator as semblymen on a separate ballot endorsed "Assembly Justices of tho Supreme Court and County Judges on a ballot endorsed "Judiciary," together with separate ballots as usual for City aul Ward ollicers, in cities.

Probably the most obscure of tho nobodies who comprise tho State ticket nominated by tho Conkling Murphy Convention at Syracuso, is Nelson It. Hopkins, who is named for Comptroller. He lives at Buffalo, and tlio local organ of his parly in that city is tho Buffalo Express. It says be in a candidate who cannot command, tbo support of the unswerving and unfaltering class of Republicans," because ho left the liopublicau party for mercenary reasons in 18GG, when President Johnson appointed him a Collector of Internal Revenue, and in payment therefor ho betrayed tbo Republican party and supported the Democratic nominations, both of his county and of the State. The conference of the Common Council Committee with tho Long Maud farmera, olHOwhero reported, camo very opportunely.

This morning the change in tho Bureau of Yards and Docks which we foreshadowed some daya sinco, took place. Commodoro Rogers, tho now official in charge of tho government land at tho Wallahout, should bo approached by tho representativea of tho city ond of the farmers, and an effort made to exhibit tho atato of tho facts to him. Without detriment to tho interests of tho navy or the government, and indeed with benefit to them land sufficient for market purposes could be leased or sold or donated by the government to tho city for tho erection of a market on Wallabout Bay. It cannot be the wish of the United States authorities to play dog in the manger, and to keep as a pestilential swamp a sootion of water front in this city for which the Navy has not and never can have any use; while tho city stands anxious to get it, and willing to improve it for a purpose useful to the pooplo both of tho city and tho surrounding country district. The market ques tion is nohow concerned in politics.

Wo may therefore look to tho United States rep resentatives and officials here, and to any citizens who, from political or personal ass ciations, would find their representations carry ing more weight at Washington than those of tho city government, to join with our local authorities and with the country farmera in pressing upon tho Washington authorities the unexcep tionable and highly beneficial character of the proposition now made, to put to a neodfal two, for markot purposes, such portion of the un used water front of Wallabout Bay as tho Gov ernment can never need for any purpose what ever. The Fetters on Business. The "protective" tariff which was to build up our domestic mannfactures, has made us more dependent than ever upon foreign countries for articles which ought to be manufactured at home. The import of foreign iron bars and rails is perpetually increasing, while the great addition caused to the price by the tariff is an onerous burden upon our railroads, and consequently upon our facilities of internal trade and traffic. The complications of the tariff, which embraoes a scale of no less than four thousand different rates of charges upon imports, necos itates the employment of a monstrous force of Custom House employees and these men all make it their main business to meddle in and manage local politics, thus introducing a mercenary hireling element into all party management, and debauching and demoralizing beyond all former precedent the primary and local conduct of party affairs.

The civil service, thus swollen to inordinate dimensions, and thus vitiating the spontaneous action of the people's voluntary politioal'orgauizations, is devoted to its own personal fortunes, which are dependent upon the prolongation of tho term of the present President, rather than to the care of the public interests. The cry for limitation of the Presidential office tooneterm is but the expression of the public sense of tho vast evils which result from the absolute control by a single politician of so many thousands of salaried agents all over the tand. It is seen tint his interests and theirs are alike opposed to reduction of the complexity of the tariff to simplicity, or to any relief whatever of the public from tax ationi mjwsts, While the President looks for re election to the efforts of the tax gatherers. it is his interest that they should increase in number and wealth. To multiply sin cures, and to wink at plunder, is his personal interest, sinco his prospects depend upon the personal prosperity of the men who live on the taxes who prosper in proportion as they accumulate burdens uj.on the people.

A simple tariff, of specific low rates upon a small number of articles omitting raw materials or articles which need to lie further worked up by American labor after being imported would yield all tho revenue we need. For the internal revenue is enf.ugh to pay the interest on tho debt, and a steady instalment toward discharging the principal. All that the tariff needs to realize is a sum sufficient to meet the ordinary expen ses of government, outside of tho additional burdens entailad by tho war. And, even if we allow the present administration to need double as much money for the same ordinary purposes as sufficed before the war, a tariff could be drawn, with low specific duties, and could be collected at one sixth the expense, that would yield amplo revenue, yet reduce the cost of all tools, all clothes, and all medicines, at least one half, and restore to American manufactures the markets of the world, from which they are now excluded But such a tariff would be against Grant's interest, because it would suspend five sixths of Tom Murphy's official brigade, which now carries Conventions for Grant against the will of the Republican masses, who are taxed to support in luxury tho very fellows who kick them out of thoir own party.
