iTBBlU powerful as ever next year. This ja Tammany's little game, and the Times is laboring for its success, not in the interest of honest men and honest measures, but in the hops of subserving a base partisan purpose. The solution of tho difficulties in New York, bo far as thoy were met at Rochester, is satisfactory to Seymour and Tilden, and Kernan, and Ottendorfer, and O'Connor, and to every other honest Demoorat who The President was very busy all day Saturday. He signed six papers. Three of thorn were receipts for his book salary.

Iu the afternoon ho retted; but his physicians havo warned him against unusual and too arduous exertion. Mr. Josiah Tumor for daring to suo a Fodoral Marshal for falso imprisonment, is indicted and arrested for conspiring to injure that Marshal for tho lawful dischargo of his dutios." North Carolina Democrats should thus bo taught better than to presume a citizen has any right whioh an official is bound to respect. Wo are impressed mofo and moro with tho frantio efforts of the United States Government omoers to commend themselves to the people of the South. Ing prelude with which Hilton leads up tofts figures.

He tries to make out jiat he neod npt renders report. But for the' life dare not omit to do so. Ho preterids he' is doing no more for Mr. Groon than ho daily does for the press and public, the faots are that he has repeatedly refused, and with abuse, to tho reporters of tho press and through them the public any figures at all, going so far as to withhold the report of last year from the New York a Times, to which Mr. Green furnished his oopy.

Tho figures Mr. Green, as Deputy Com troller elicits have not before been made publio, within our knowledge. The truculent and ineffectual preface of Hilton to his report, however, reveals what a silly and weak fellow he is being in accord with his double shuffling in the matter of the New York riot appeal of week beforo last, whioh, by the way, was a miserable miscarriage. It will not bo among the least compensations that the renovation of rule in New York will include a dispensation with the small fry that wriggle at present under the heel of inquiry. The Market question.

The Common Council this afternoon will probably receive a report from their committee who oonferied with the delegation of Long Island farmers on tho praotioabilify of establishing a publio market iu Brooklyn. It is sincerely to be hoped that something practical will at last result on this matter, which has boon debated at intervals for so many years past. While there has always been a concurrence of opinion as to what ought to be dono, there been also ever been an absolute abstention doing anything practical. Evory Brooklynite sees and admits the folly of letting tho Long Island farmer drive through Brooklyn to New York with his produce, and then the Brooklyn grocer drivo over after him and buy back from tho Now York middleman, or from the farmer himself, the food which is to be eaten in Brooklyn, and whioh has no more business to be carried past Brooklyn to New York than it would havo to be sent on to Philadelphia and returned thence to this city. Brooklyn has plenty of mouths to eat all the food that tho Long Island farmers bring here; and it is an outrageous absurdity that this food, having been taken to Brooklyn, should thenco carried across tho river and back again beforo the Brooklyn purchaser oan obtain it for consumption.

The vegetables de teriorate by tho delay the price is enhanced by the double ferriage and the waste of the farmer's unnecessary journey beyond Brooklyn to New York and back, and by the Brooklyn grocer's unnecessary trip to New York for what he might just as well have bought' when it came close to his own door oh its Another Cycle in tho Eternal Round of do BllssOakoy Contest A Republican Assails Ills liOcal Organ and Raps Brother Richardson Ovor the Knuckles What lias the Alderman to Say. Sec. ta the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaqle We read with snrnriBe and no inrinnHirW able amusement, an editorial lu Thursday's Union pre me incts cne Ninth Assembly Dlstriot cobb, contested at tho SyraouBO Convention. Says tho Union ia thia article, "It's truo this wretched squabble should ond, and our readers know the facts." In the fourth paragraph tho qunlifloationB of tho writer aro disclosed as thOBO of a "personal observer," and as everything in that convention turned' on the composition of the Committoo on Contested Seats of (14). Ho Bays of them, he was convinced that "they were a parcel of old incompetont wilfully mendaoioufi unflttod for any poUtioal duty at all with but one redeeming point," whioh wo suppose waa when they agreed on tho rejection of Bliss' delegates.

Now, we cannot speak with tho cook certainty of Mr. "Peraonal Observor," but feel convinced, hU readers got light on that "wretohed Bquabble," with a vengeance. Its rear shadowing mokes, what was so obscure in that convention cloor. An honest Impulse 8eems to have prompted him to disclose too much, 'TiB ever thus murder outs, ond Bhocking is it to bco this unnecessary abuso of tho too faeilo "parcel of old fools," tho worthies instruments of the friends of the anti BliBB delegates, who wero put to tho trouble of gulling them with a batch of fraud affidavits. Upon theso clear admissions of Mr.

"Personal 0 Bcrver," we impeach THE FACTIOUS, FBATDOTjENT peoceedihqs in this part of tho "wretched squobblo," whereby Mr Richardson was foisted to tho place Bliss wos choattd out of. But Peraonal Observer" thinks badly of the county committee, becauso they have by a voto of 70 to (50 stigmatised this 1" wretched squabblo" as a Richardson fraud as it deserves to bo or as a put up job of thoso pure politicians, MoBsrs. Oakey, Williams and Ellcry thinks tho majority (all tho brains of tho committee) ought to bow down to the rcspootable minority and put the whip in their hands. Worse, ho clafmB the majoeity eepubmoans of the Ninth ABsembly District (of the Ninth, Twenty first WordB and flvo country towns) should feel honored ond amply represented at Syracuse by the Laocess of tborcspectablo minority contestants, that those, rightfully swindled, or morady defrauded, the majority in tho lntorcst of political morality, because ono unscrupulous Mr. Bronnan, with sundry Park Democrats, had situated a primary of that district in some obacu'O corner of it, so that it justified a bolting delegate (one) In a convention of thirty five, in claiming tho privtlogo to noutralize tho entire district, and tho Syracuso Committee on Contested Seats (albeit a "parcel of old in Bustaiuing that claim.

But "Personal Observer," having dexterously closed his humorous articlo, by tho claim of (on suspicion of any immaterial poUticall fraudfto perpetrate greater ones, and abused, like a fish woman, tho Conkling committoo of worthies that gavo him tho unnecessary troublo to resd his Custom Houbo affidavits, ond also prostrated tho County Committee lor daring to be majority against him or his contesting friends, proceeds to smite that blind passionate, sensual echo of mero Republican slums that tool of Brooklyn's HIEED WATEB BOABD BEPUBLICANS. The New York Tribune. Of course that paper hitherto supposed to be respectable, must now lick the dust beforo tho righteous ludignatiou of those who aro benefited by tho imbecility of their own tools. NOW IS NOT ALL THIS VEBI MOLL? Ib it not ludicrous and apparent that "Observer" is entirely disinterested? But does ho not stultify himself in hiBllrBt paragraph, asBertingthot that 0" parcel of oldfools" only half performed their duty, or they would have made a clean eweop of tho First uud Third as thoy aid of tho Ninth District. This inaccuracy is it not liable to produce the impression he doeB'nt know quite as much as ho protends? But whon ho descends to tho low level of assuming any intimation of bribery or misrepresentation as falEe.

may wo not implore hieu to sprinkle his passion with cool patience? Can it be necessary to imagine such folly as indioting such a parcol of old fools" such willing instruments already lumps of putty to "Observer's" contesting friends? But if they did ica ccod. really stooped to read, as be says, that barrel full of sworn Btuff, then must wo not believe they are even worse than ho For do we not all know 0 million affidavits can be produced in twenty four hours that no Democrats evor woro employed in Prosprst Park (uono but Beocher's church members) could never have been led by tho nose by Mr. Brcnnan to vitioto any primary, and that, thorefore, the bolt of the auti Blissites was unjustifiable, and tho fraud they morally perpetrated a blunder? Does bo not know such documents aro dear at twonty flvo Hits a hundred are of as little weight in politics as whitewashing one of Tammany's ChiefB, or tho wor 10 Chiof of tho Custom House ring? And ia it not cleur as MUD, MUUPHY OE MUBPHYITES were too pure to havo improperly burrowed under such a parcel of old fools," so wilfully mondacious because they promisod to road what finally they nevor referred to at aU What a precious muddle for the Brooklyn Union' sub Editors "Personal Observer," to mako light, and bow he haa done it, the wrong way. But do not Kings County politicians need his illuminating observations? And what a perilous 'scape tho liberties of the Republicans of the 1'irst, Second, Fifth, Sixth uud Twelfth Wards (First ond Third Assemblies) had, in being represented by Cashowand Company, instead ot st me other batch of illegitimate anti Blissites. Is it nrcessary to observe that the reason why Ladv 1'jilDier and Company were not so admitted (though ni vtr anywhere iu all Brooklyn oiticmlly accredited even for such fraud work), was not boeauso as "Personal Observer" asserts a "parcel of old fun's" tailed to read their affidavits; also whereby their virtuous souls must have shrunk with horror from the polh Lion of the regular Bliss members of Kings County entire; but because it would have beeu a clear wasto of row material, for the Murpliyites to purcbaso one sheep more than fas necessary to fill their shambles.

It was because Lady Palmer was not wanted to help Bill Richardson to tho position ho has stolen, or ho would have been URed (showing himself to bo a willing iuhtrument) to supplant those who wero not. w. Wo simply want to add to the above letter the facts that tho Committee on Contested Seats promised Messrs. Coit, Palmer, Williams, Cashow, and Bellows who respectively appeared as or for contesting or sitting delegations from Kings County that all their affidavits, letters and statements would be road and weighed. Not a lino of affidavit or Icttor was read by tbcm at all.

Thoy decided in one, two, three order for CaBhow, Moore, and Bliss, booauao as sitting delegates they had had the lost word, and because that last word was freshest on the mindB of tho Committee; also becauso the Eaglk correspondent thon and there present rehearsed tho Bliss men's oaso to the Committee iu a luminous colloquial way. The "PcrEOnal Observer" did his best for the anti Bliss men, but after our correspondent had boen heard "Personal Observer" was voted down, or rather his clients were, bv tho Committee, The first vote waa 7 for Bliss, 4 for Oakey. One of tho Oakey meu (so ho tells us) thon got tho Com to read through bouio of the affidavits Mr. Williams presented. Thoso affidavits then became tho li'tshcst word, iu the minda of tho Committee, whereupon they decided for tho affidavits, i.

e. for Oakey ond Williams. If tho Eaqle correspondent hod not gouo to supper he would have read them one of Bliss' affidavits to the Committee. That would have been tho freshest ou the minds ef the Committeo if it had been last, and the Committee would have decided for Bliss. They would have decided for whichever aide had the last word said in its behalf.

Our couteinporary is characteristically courteous aud uncharacteristically truo, in denominating the committeo a parcel of old fools and mendacious." We do not bclievo in such languago, but wo could not bo tbe mirrorof truth, which wo aro, did wo object to it on any other ground than its excessive Groeleylsm. We heartily belicvo that Messrs. Moore, Cashow and Bliss were entitled to their Beats, but wo know that tho Committee ruled out Coit and Palmer and ruled in Oakey entiroly Irrespective of the merits and evidence on either side. Messrs. Coit and Palmer do not deserve tho Btricturea of our correspondent.

They acted and talked like gentlemen, and as if they had, in their own opinion, a sound case. They did not have a sound case, the Committee declared they did not, but so declared, not becauso they examined tho written evidence, but becauBO they were captivated by the Eagle correspondent's advice to them. Noither doea Mr. RichardBon appear to deserve the strictures ho receives from our correspondent. The job, if any there were, was to put Jourdan on tho Committee, Ho was put on.

but sensibly declined, on the ground that a Federal ofllco holder ought not to ho selected. Tho selection of Mr. Richardson was an aftorthought. Ho was designated at 12 and ho had left Syracuso for good at 9 A. three hours before of that day, and was thought of after he had left tho city.

Gontlomon of tho warring Republican party, let fairness aud facts bo your motto, and when you lack olthor or both, come to the Eaole. It will supply you as it has in this appendix to this letter.) THE SMALLPOX, Present Condition of the Contagion Danger In OurFublic Schools shall 'S'Uey be Closed? Four new cases of smallpox, two in Plymouth street, one in Water street, and ono in Front street, wore reported to tho Health Board by tho JPolico of tho Fourth Precinct on Friday and Saturday. They wero promptly removed, and aro now receiving proper cure and attention. Somo alarm, and a good deal of excitement ou tho subject prevails iu tho infected district, and at several points, tho yellow flag signalizes DANG KR to thoso who approach too near its precincts. Dr.

Cochron and hia asHistanta, appear carofully watchful, and so for aa can bo ascertained, nothing is loft undone that can stay ita progress, or mitigating its severity. But A NEW PHASE OF DANOEB and apprehension has beon devolopod in regard to our public schools. It is tho opinion of a good many people therewith connected that in infocted district the scholars should bo dismissed, and the schools closed. In Public Sohool No. 7, in York street, thora aro said to be many cases of children in attendance from families where there are and have been cases of smallpox.

Several of these cases have been discovered and the children nont home. On Friday throo ohildron woro sent homo on this account. In a school in Washington avenue, not long since thero was discovered to bo great danger, and the school was closed in consequence. But that danger, we are told, has passed away. Tho matter has boen seriously considered by the Board of Education and tho closing of at least somo of some of the schools has been suggested and oven urged, but the officers will do nothing in tho promises, unless oom plalnt bo mado by tho Board of Health.

It is stated, however, that tho attendance at our schools, especially No. 7, has been comparatively small for some time past, parents refusing to send their onildren for fear of tho diseaso. Yesterday, Mr. Taylor, Principal of No, 7, reported the condition of things in his school to tho police of tho Second Prooinot, and that aohool, it 1b thought, will be closed. A reporter of tho Eaglk ou Saturday made a visit to tho infocted district, and loarncd that muoh alarm prevails among the rostdents.

Ho also had an intorview with BEV. FATHEB KEGAN who has ohorgo of the potoohial school on the cornor of York and Jay streets. The Rev. gentleman confessed his beliof that tho contagion was muoh more prevalent than was generally supposod. Ho Bpoko of cases that had oome to his knowlodgo to whioh no publioity had been given, and Bald that the efforts to conceal i wero very numoroua and porslstent.

Thoro are a great many cases, which he says, nerer some to tho knowledge of the authorities. He had dismissed a good many of his scholars, who ho had any reason to boliovo wero exposed to tho diseaso. Ho had advised somo not to go to No. 7. Tho existence of contagion in our midst la a matter of consequence to all And to day, though thoy may bo no cause for positive alarm, thoro is ood reason for Uio bxeroiso of erery possible precaution.

The list of horrid events whioh has already given this year 1871 eo bad a prc emlncnco, is to day by the fearful news of the almost total destruction of tho most thriving city on tho continent, the woudor of tho world for its rapid growth, and the only great olty which Brooklyn has failed to exoeed In that respect, Tho telegrams elsewhere roooont how banks, newspaper offices, whole blocks of stores and factories, and even tho City Water Works, havo, In a few brlof hours, fallen a proy to the resistless devourer of Ufa and property. As a companion ploture, we reproduce from our ides tho record of tho great flre whioh befell Brooklyn in her infancy. In 1848 this oity, then of only 00,000 population, lost 200 houses In one fire, whioh swept away nearly all tho buildings whioh then covered the business portion of tho plaoo. Now Chicago, with a population of 290,000, losea at one stroke ten thousand houses, out of a total of less than thirty thousand. It is a fearful calamity, tho magnitudo of which words cannot exaggerate.

Paris, in her two successive sieges, suffered less than Chicago in this ono great conflagration. Tho hand of charity must be Instantly extended to her by every other great oity. Fortunatoly our Common Council meets to day, and Instant action should bo taken by the authorities to convene a public meeting and organise a movement for relief of tho sufferers. Our local lnsuranco companies will probably to heavy loEers a calamity so great must nccesBarily bo far reaching, and inolndo among its indirect victims many others than tho irumcdiato sufferers who resldo iu tho afflicted city. This is too groat a blow to bo merely local tho burning of Chicago lo an American rnisfortuno, and all ovor tho land, besidos slncero sympathy, there must be immodiate pecuniary aid given to tho Western metropolis to alleviate the sufferings caused by this Bad disaster.

THE CHURCHES YESTERDAY. Plymouth Cliurch. Plymouth Church was filled yesterday morning with an immonso audlonoo. Mr. Beccher discoursed from the text" For wo ore laborers together with God yo are God's husbandry ye aro God's building." It is doubtful, said tho speaker, if any such comprehensive idea of God's work was in the npostlo's mind aa is now in ours.

Truth is expansive it Is always the same; but, like a tree, has always a widor outgrowth and a deepiT root. Tho great racketing world was not onlyworking for what it thought of itself but for God's will and intontlon. In tho letters of Paul wo find tho deop insight of God's ominonce In all things. Ho Is seou to be the beginning and end of all things. God's church is ultimately to be mankind.

The Churoh at present is only the way through which all nasB to tho ftual church, and all present forms aro subsidiary and transient. Thoso aro but school houses and the perfect education takes tho man out of tho school house and puts him into life. At any time tho Church of God on larthlsthoBumof sanctified manhood at that time It is the Spirit of Christ that makes a man Christ's, and wherever a man is working for tho things taat Christ loves, ho may say that he Is working together with God." This kingdom of God is by its nature slow iu its growth. Wo see and do in our time many things both wise and good, but we are only workers. God la Iho great weaver, while we but spin tho threads.

All inch, ho thev artists nr rrnniiiHfiH. ni'd nnlv wnrlr ors, and God is the great Arohltcot, and tells no ono trie pluue. The proudest and tho wisest aro only god's htbed men. This way of confliot seems a very rude way; but as in human life so it was at tho beginning in the physical world; aud long afjes ago, that the imagination cannot reach, there was attrition and rudo forces in con hict. Men learu by tho sum ot their mistakes.

Thoy HO all around tho gate and buck their hoads against ovory possible obstacle, and thon hit tho golden ml on and no aiid they call that a discovery. Whon men, therefore, are divided and in conflict, we must not think that God ha loft the world. God uses sinners, lor there is nobody elss. If God should lift up His banner to day and call for the sanctifiod there wouldn't bo one. Churches aro worth just somueh as ia iu thein.

They aro only God's workmen, and thoy must not tako on airs. God's presence iu our work ought to oucouragooll humWo workers. Thero comes ovor to our shores a poor worker. A man gives him work at stone cutting. The worker puts all his skill and taste into tho work, and only knows that he is earning his dally bread.

But by and by ho goes along the streot, and there, ovor the door of tho art gallery is the work that he did aud tho tears drop from his eyes, and ho says, "I am glad I did it well." Brethren, we are doin what seems like little work, but God will show you the work by and by. TUT TOOE HEART INTO YOUIt WOBK.

The pulpit of the Tabernacle Church, of the Baptist denomination, in this city, at tho ooruer of Hicks ad ltapelyca streets, was occupied by its pastor. Rev. Dr. A. C.

Osborn, yestorday morning. His text was found in ten verses of tho third chapter of James, tho second to tho twelfth, and tho goneral Bubjoct under consideration was tho "Government of tho Tongue, or turisuan oouversation," Said the pastor We can readily understand that tho Christian Bhould not indulge in foolish talkme. Life with him in inn Kcl ioUii. His work is too earnest. TI13 realities of life uuu ui ueatu una 01 tne soul and 01 otornity are too momentous for him to play tho fool or Hie clown.

But what is meant by "Justine?" Is the Christian never to indulge in tho pleasantries of life Novcr to allow his onuversanou 10 sparkle with the Hashes of wit and genius Must ho ever plod along upon tho dull, ovon piano of unvarying monotony We do not thus interpret it. A literul translation of the original Greek gives as tho meaning of tho word "levity, or frivolous uud indecent discourse" and accordingly we covenant to abBtain from all unbecoming levity or irivobty. This, then, brings bofore us tho entire subject ol the government of the tonguo or Christian conversation. James sets it forth as a matter of unspeakable importance. So Christ says that "for every i'llc word that men shall speak thoy shall givo an ae (uunt thercuf in tho day of judgment." Tlio Holy Writ is tcciniug with injunctions on this Bubject; the law as laid down by Moses is imperative regarding it; 1 he 1'salniH as sung by David are full of exhortations respecting it; Solomou is ever warning his readers i'aul, in his writings, demands a Btrict observance of it, and Christ iu all his divino teachings enforces it.

What are sonic of THE SINS OP THE TONOUE Hin is committed daily by violating tho command that we shall nut li1. Then the siu of profanity presents itself. "Swear not at nil." The mere statement 01' the truth is all that hi ed ever be offered; our statements aro weakened by superfluous collatenda. Tale hearing ii another sin to be steadfastly opposed. Another sin the category is slander.

No personality is too mean, 110 itisiii'ialiou too false for tho slanderous tonguo. The sin of impurity ia ono that we should shuu. With an earnest appeal to his hearers that they, both in their life aud conversation, should be living examples ol the truth taught by our blossod Redeemer, the pastor closed his eloquent discourse. Cliurcll St. Charles Borromeo.

Thcllev. Dr. Freel, thopastor of the Church ol St. Oharles Borromeo, preached at the prinoipal service yesterday forenoon, to a largo congregation. He took as his text a portion of tho gospol of tho day, Many aro called, hut fow are chosen," ond said, in substauco, if we would bo among tho few that aro chosen we must avoid mortal sin.

The man who commits mortal em hales and destroys his own soul, and paves its way to perdition. Could wo but Bee mortal sin as it exists, with aU itB enormities, deprived of its hateful allurements and attractions, wo would no more sin than wo would take a poisonous and loathsome reptile to our bosom, or driuk from a turbid, muddy stream of poisonous water. Ho who loves Bio, theroforc, hates bis own soul. Sin entails war, diBoord and every calamity, and even death itself. Wo havo but to refer to the penalty of sin as entailed in the full of our first parents to whom the tempter said, "Seo the fruit upon yonder tree, is it not beautiful to tho eye? ond it is sweet to tho tat it will impart new life and strength to you and make you equal to God." Tho tempter triumphed and the sin was committed whioh led to the farewell to tho Gardon of Delight and Bent them abroad to Buffer privations, sickness, remorse and even death.

The terrible consequences wore the forfeiture of life and immortality. Do wo consider that our first parents were groat fools to forfeit ao much happiness for tho gratification of tho palato If so aro we not equally foolish in remaining outBido the Garden of Paradiso by indulging in coret onenCBB, sloth, envy, gluttony, or somo other of tho passions to which tho flosh Is heir, and whioh wa must conquer and put down if wo would enjoy the hiRh ransom paid in the passion and death of our Divino Lord ond Savior for our redemption? The soul in mortal sin has cast out God from it, ond la henco forth looking downward toward tho pit prepared for thOBe who die in that fearful condition. If midsummer were turned suddenly into midwinter, and tho blades of grass and flowors into icicles, or bright noonday into tho darkest hour of night, tho change would not bo near so great as the change which tho Boul fallou from grace to mortal sin has undergone. Frightful, indood, is tho picturo of. tno Christian soul that has abandoned God's grace.

In conclusion, the pastor urged his flock to dwell continually upon the enormity of mortal sin, ond to avoid and do pounance for it in tuo future to love God above all things and hato sin, which is so displeasing to IBin, that they may all bo among the fow that aro chosen of the many who aro called. Hanson Place Baptist Church. A large congregation was in attendance at this ohurch yesterday morning, and after the usual devotional exercises, an interesting disoourso was delivered by Rev. Mr. Pentecost, tho pastor, upon tho subject of human selfishness, and the duty of self abnegation in religious matters, Tho fc flowing paBBagos of Scripture furnished the text of tho discourse: "And that ho died for all, that thoy which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them and rose again." Thcro was, said tho reverend gentleman, so much grandeur in such a text that ho was impressed to preach from it much longer than tho tiino which was allotted to him.

Tho subject was, first, what wo ought to do henceforth and what wo ought not to do henceforth. Wo ought not to mako our wishes aud desires tho law by which our actions are governed. Wo ought to mako the will of God tho will of Him who died for us the end of our life. Above all else, wo should live to tho end for Christ. Wo had tho illustration of two porsouB, ono of whom wbb self living and tho other God living.

The first was Adam, who illustratod tho living for ono's Belf, and tho other Christ who represented what was not living for selfish motives. Self living wbb the cost of Bin, but self sacrlflco for God brought ub salvation in the end. Ho who lives for himself lives in Bin. If ho subjects himself te this now law and lives in tho lovo of his Creator, ho is a Christum. Ha had only timo at present to state the particular reason why it was bettor to Hva for Chrtat than for ourselves, why wo should bo glad honcoforth to livo for our Creator.

It was boeauso living for Bolt was sin. This he desired to improsa upon all because it wbb fundamental. Wo should not roly upon our own wisdom or live unto oursolvos, for this was tho groat Bin, And wo should abandon suoh living, boeauso tho end of sin was death. Thcro was much to place this solf lifo in Christians, but thoy should rejeot it because the end would be damnation. It was damnation whether we occeptcd it as hell flro or baniahraont from God.

Either way we wiBhed to intorprot it thii was tlio end of sin. God Bald to Adorn, "In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt die." What did tho tempter say "Do not bo afraid, thou shall not die." If a man sow unto the flesh ho shall reap destruction. Wo Bhould Uvo unto God from motlvoa of grateful consideration, if nothing elBe, bocaUBO all wo aro and wo havo, except in, is from God. Wo were created by God. The air wo breathed and tho clothes wo woro woro all from God, and our lives were in His hands.

Ho counsalod all to the end to ceaso living for themselves, and honcoforth Uve unto Him who died that we might be saved. The Faih at St. Peteb's CnonoH. St. Teter's Churoh, cornor of Hicks and Warren streets, will be opon to night to entertain the patrons of a Lodice' Fair, which will oontlnuo for ono wook.

The Radical Organs and Tammany's uvurmrowt Tho Now York Timet, unconsciously per haps to itself, is doing its best to put the leaders or laimnany Hall on their lees again. Singularly enough, it finds its most zealous co operators in the most servile jouraalistio tools of the Tammany Ring. It is apparent to every man who takes any part whatever in party politics, that if Tammany Hall is able to retain its followers in the oontost for representatives at Albany next Winter, and for officials to be elected in New York City this Pall, it must endeavor to convince them that Tammany's overthrow is but temporary, and that, in fact, their exclusion from tho Rochester Convention was no do fcat nt all. If the Tammany leader succeed in this line of argument, influential political leaders in the several wards and elec tion districts of New York may be inducod to support men who exercised great power tuo past, who had unlimited patronage at their disposal, and who are likely to get tno upper hand again. That Tweed and his supporters, in their dying struggle, should hold out this hope to men allied to them by self interest, but of the class who are proverbially ready to desert a sinking ship, is natural enough, but not even the partisan duty which tho Tinus fela itself oalled npon to perform oan palliate or excuse its conduct, in endorsing Mayor Hall's paper, whn it asserts that "Tammany neither claims a viotory nor acknowledges a defeat" at Rochester.

Tho contrast between Mr. Tweed's position this year and last at Rochester presented the most remarkable feature of the surroundings of the late Convention. Ho was present on both oocasions. Last year he was on hand forty eight hours before tho Convention met. Tho spacious rooms he occupied were thou tho centre of attraction.

Obsequious attention was paid to him by eyory delegate who had any favor to expect at tho hands of the Convention, whose action he wa3 credited with tho power to shape. This year he made his appearanco toward the middle of the night preceding the Convention. He hastly made his way to tho rooms provided for him, and he never left thorn during the sitting of the Convention. His presence, fo far from tempering tile feeling of the delegates, intensified it. It was indignantly declared in a hundred groups of lookers on, that his very presence at Rochester was an insult to his party.

His room and his company were studiously avoided by all but the members of the discredited Tammany delegation! The very few delegates who ventured into the apartments of tho once powerful politician did so by stealth. With tho men who controlled the Convention ho was allowed no communication. Tho contrast of Tweed's position at Rochester this year and last was only less pointed in its dramatic situation than would be the transfer of Mr. Tweed from his palatial residence on the Sound to narrow and gloomy apartments in the Toombs. Up to the hour Tweed made his appearanco at Rochester, the Tammany delegation hoped to bo admitted to seats in the Convention, on the ground that the organization they represented was undoubtedly regular, and under the stipulation that as soon as they were admitted they would at once withdraw, leaving the rural delegates to deal with tho frauds discovered in Now York and those implicated by them, as they saw fit.

Every appliance known to tho Tammany leaders had been resorted to. Barber, tho noted lobbyist, through whoso agency Republican Legislatures had disposed of themselves with profit every year for the ten years the Republicans held control of the St ato Legislature, was early on hand. He was ready to close a dicker with any delegate who choose to make a bargain for his vote. Promises, blandishments, appeals to past services, money, all the means that influence the minds of venal men had been tried, and Tweed had not been an hour in Rochester when he saw that all the efforts of his agents hod proved futile. The Rochester Democratic Convention did what no Republican Legislature which has met at Albany ever did it spurned the threats, the promises and the money of tho Tammany leaders.

Two hours after midnight, and three hours after Tweed's arrival, he abandoned a contest in which he knew that ho had failed. He admitted that if the Tammany delegation appeared in the Convention, no power on earth could savo that delegation from ignominious expulsion. He made a virtue of necessity and surrendered. Nor were the elaims his delegation presented weak ones, when laid beforo a body mado up of politicians from different portions of the State, holding their places in tho party's councils by virtue of that regularity and conformity to party usages, on which the Tammany delegation based its claims for recognition. This year, too, tho Tammany delegates were chosen by Assembly District Conventions.

They were accredited by the voters directly, ostensibly at all events. Their seats, if contested at all, would have to be contested separately and by districts. Tho Reform delegates did not pretend to be elected by the voters at all. They were named in a body, at a meeting made up of politicians, many of whom were more objectionable personally than any of the delegates to whom the Tammany leaders this year trusted the championship of their cause. George McLean, a formed official supporter of Tammany, claimed to represent the First District, for instance.

He is not a resident of New York city at all. Nobody could claim, without exposing himself to ridicule, that any reform in Municipal affairs in New York could he expected under the leadership of McLean. The Tammany delegate from the district presented credentials signed by Assembly delegates, chosen by a list of voters numbering hundreds of citizens, and heading tho list of such citizens was the name of George G. Barnard. On the ground of party regularity Tammany's position was unassailable.

But under extraordinary circumstances bold and extraordinary measures were doomed justifiable. The Convention virtually decided, in tho language of Francis Kernan, of Utica: "We will not now tako up the question of regularity. Associated with your local organization are men charged with gigantic crimes. Until you have met and answered these charges you shall not sit side by side with honest men. You say you are not guilty.

Go then and meet your accusers; if you are able to do so, we will hear you when you come again, but if you cannot purge yourself of these charges, your organization will never be recognized. While you aro under suspicion, the doors of the Democratic council rooms will never be opened to you. If tho situation in New York should remain unchanged which is not conceivable when the next Legislature meets, and if that body shall be Democratic, will it not fulfil the highest public expectation by doing what the Roohes ter Convention did excluding Tweed so far as it can, from sharing in tho councils of those who will shape its policy in dealing with the Municipal difficulties in New York Can any honest man, in view of Mr. Tweed's fcuccess in manipulating Legislatures, controlled by his political opponantfl, in the past, expect or promise as much at the hands of the Republican party, if its representatives control tho next Legislature Can the men who accepted the fellowship and leadership of Tom Murphy, at Syracuse, le looked to to resent his interference in behalf of his partner, Tweed, at Albany next winter The New York Times and the Republican papers which are at work attempting to prove that Tweed was successful at Rochester aro playing into the hands of the Tammany gang in Now York, and they must know it. Tweed's venal organs are working with them to dissemminate the samp impression.

Only by their success in this direction can the Tammany leaders retain their followers, by holding out the hope that, though apparently defeated now, they havo suffered no red defeat, and will ba as Beooklyn Theatbe Last Monday night was a marked ono In the dramatic history of Brooklyn. A now thcatro was thrown open to the public a theatre in its beauty, lis completeness and its capacity, worthy a great oity like Brooklyn. Under what circumstances, and how, whether favorably or unfavorably, has been faithfully recorded In theso columns during tho past week. And now that tho first feeling of dolight ovor the now building aud of tho novelty of its possession has. worn off, we may ask what is tho calm judgment? what Is tho verdict of tho public, who must sustain it 7 Wo believe It to bo ontlrely favorable There are undoubtedly many who have fault to find with this thing and with that.

Every ono who expresses an opinion upon the subject, undoubtedly during tho progress of tho 'erection of tho theatre building, framed an ideal theatre in his mind, organized an ideal company, laid out an ideal course of management and from the mountain heights of their Imaginations proclaim od unto themselves nothing but the abaomtejrealization of their idealities, should satisfy them. To each one of theso we say that while aU built np thoso Ideals, not ono reached tho same rosult, aud that If the wisest and the shrewdest of all tho managers of tho past and present and all of the wisest and shrewdest of tho managers to como in the future should be rolled into one porson, gifted with all of their excellences and having none of their weak'i ea, waa placed in char go of tho now enterprise, ha but satisfy one idealist. It Is only when one Is engaged in the erection of any fabrics that one is entirely powerfulabsolutely omnipotent. No vulgar calculations of tho cost of hammer and nails, putty and paint ontor; no mean considerations of human disappointments ob trudo themselves. The difficulties which boset every human effort find no place In his thoughts.

The imaginary building rises rapidly and beautifully, hindered by no worldly delays and porplexities, and finally when completed it has bis own vanity for its foundation, a blow of a practical thought and presto, tho beautiful fabric vanishes. If then tho now theatre and its company does not roach the high standard set up in your mind, remom ber tho standard of some one, and probably that of the great majority of tho play goers haa boen reached. Bemember also that the management have a pocunlary interest at stiko, and that it will find remuneration only in excellence, and so, that it is reasonable to suppose that such mistakes as have beon made in tho organization of an entirely new company, and in the hurry of the opening of a new theatre, wi. bo rectified as quickly as circumstances will permit. Tho above romarks have grown out ol thoughts arising from reading tho innumerable quantity of letters written upon the theatre and company, which ha3 flowed a steady stream into the editorial rooms of this journal since last Tuesday, a quantity so great that tho idea of publishing any became an impossibility.

Somo were favorably inclined to the new temple of tho drama, and some were not, bnt the peculiarity of the wholo was, that not ono expressed tho samo opinion, and tho inevitable conclusion upon reading all is, that it will be best upon tho part of all to let Mr. and Mrs. Conway Btruffglo on in then endeavors to find and to cater for tho avcrago taste of tbe multitude, unimpeded by a thousand suggestions, senseless or sensible as thoy may be. And now having finished our long answer to our kind correspondents, let us consider what has been dono during the paBt week. A theatre has been finished, beautiful, complete and commodious a now company has been introduced to the pnblic a now theatrical enterprise has been firmly established upon its feet.

The building is worthv tho high dignity of the oity, and the liberality of the few publicsptritod citizens who furnished it to the city ia to be highly commended. The company engaged is tilth one or two exceptions, fully equal to any demands tliat may be made upon it. Uudisciplined as they necessarily are, almost unacqtuintcd with oach other's peculiarities, gathered as thoy are from different cities since their labors began they have dono wonders and nothing now is wanted but tho practical support of tho public, who, long crying for a first class theatro havo now obtained it. The week waB closed on Saturday night with the production of Guy Mannering," which was anothor success. In this play waa introduced Miss Emma Howson, a prima donna I ol the Bichings Opera troupe, of a season ago, who was especially engaged for this occasion, Miss Minnie Conway, Mr.

Eugene Clarke, and Mr. John Clarke made their first several appearances. The play, which is well known, was presented with all the original music a delightful addition, and ono which considerably heightened its enjoyment. It has rarely been our fortune to see tho drama bo excellently porformed it was capitally performed aud yet the audience was very cold. The part of Mcq Mcr riles was played by Mrs.

Farrcn, who threw into the impersonation much vigor and power. Tho lady has won much success in the past yoars, and Saturday night's was maoked with the old fire. Mr. Cooway's performance of Dandic Dinmont was moat mirthful, and was a perfect realization of Scott's big licurlud but combative Scotchman. The part of Dominic Sampson is one of the very best that Mr.

Chippendale undertakes, and was fully up to Mb standard. It was capitally played, and tho foibles of tbe good old man were at once rendered tenderly and mirthiully. Mr. Kennedy aa Colonel Mannering was all that could be desired, and as Baitlic Zlucklcworth Mt. Spear was excellent.

Mrs. Brutono as Mrs. Mc Caudlisk did much toward finding a place iu the estimation of tho patrons of the theatre. And now wo are ready to considor the musical efforts. The chorus was unusually good, was well trained and rendered efficient aid to tho Boloists.

Miss Emma Howaon appeared lirst upon tho scene, and sang admirably "I Tliink of Thee;" subsequently, uOh! Slumber my Darling," and "Onward Swiftly Gliding" with Julia Mannering (Miss Minnie Conway). Miss Howson ia a singer of experience and reputation, and fully sustained it on Saturday eight. Her part, too, was finely played. Miss Conway caroe upon the scene next, and although suo took part in the quintette "The Fox jumped over," it was not until the second act that she bad an opportunity to display her vocal powers, it ia unfair to pass judgment upon the lady, for she was greatly indisposed, suffering from influenza, a disoase not puyBically fatal, but certainly fatal to all good vocalization. Yet notwithstanding these drawbacks, the lady Bbows much improvement in method and style.

As the play is to bo repeated on Tuesday night criticism will be deferred. The duet with Henry L'ertram (Eugcno Clarke), however, was very handsomely sung, as also the duet Onward, Swiftly Gliding." Mr. Eugene Clarko, playiug tho part of Ilenry llcrtram, song "Be Mine, Fair Maid" and "McGregor's Gat tiering' beautifully, and was encored. A little moro endeavor to act and to bo the character would improve his performance. Mr.

John Clarke sang ''Safely Follow Iliui," sang it Bplendidly, aud was encored. His acting ao was excellent. The performance of Saturday night, taking it as a wholo, was thoroughly good. Mr. retort cljen and his orcb(atra are to be highly commended.

To nigUt "Tho School i'oir Scandal" will be produced. Parr Theatre To night a new piny entitled "The Trail of the Serpent," is to be produced at this theatre. It is from the pen of Mr. J. J.

McCloskey, ono of tbe maEagers of tho Park, and by those who have been able to lorm an opinion, ia pronounced his bost work. The leading character ia taken by Mr. C. W. Couldock, an actor whoso position iu tho theatrical world was deiinitely fixod at a high point somo yoars ago.

As a character actor ho has but few equals. Mr, Henry Clifford, tho regular comedian, and Mr. J. J. McCloskey will mako their first appearanco.

wtrtYwfiiia Bii Oysters and Clams as Proof of Mar ital Affection A Husband Charged with Profligacy and Abandonment. CITY COURT SPECIAL TERM Judge Neilson. Malinda B. Merahon agt. William Mcrshon.ThlB action is brought to obtain a limited divorce, on tho ground of cruolty and inhuman treat ment and abandonment.

The plaintiff alleges that she was married to the defendant on the 8th of September, looa, and there havo been two children of the marriage, She charges him with various octs of cruolty during their married life, and aho with having been a profli gate and a gambler, Sho also says tliat in February last be sold 0 quantity of household goods essential to tne comrort of his family, ond romoved to Chicago, leaving ms lamuy destitute. The defense ib a creneral denial vhn aUrm mahn. pro the conrt this morning, on a petition by tbe pUiu "7j uuiinei iee. xno peocion seta rorta the acts of cruelty in detail, which eeem to havo consisted of slaps in tthe face with tho hand, a little too violent to BE REGARDED AS LOVE TAPS, sovorol of them having left their marks upon her It goes on to state that for tho past two years tho defend ont has pursued a most profligate course of conduct. Out of chority tbe young lady's father, George Kei scy, gave tho husband a good situation in the office or himself and partner (Keleey Cornwall) but whilo ho was there he repeatedly forfeited the con dence placed In him, and ABSTHCTED MONEY PROM THE SAFE, and spent it in gambling.

Tho defendant appeared in court, with his counsel this morning, and listened to the reading of the various papers in the cause with great interest. He is a young man, about twenty eight years of age, not differing much in appearance from tho class of young men, clcrka and otherwise, who may be sen any fair duy or cvoning amusing themselves by Banntoring up and down Fulton street, ogling every fair damsel they may chance to moet. A number of affidavits wore read in bis behalf, his own, those of his butcher, baker and candlestick maker, and others, to show that he had always dono overvthinc that was nroner einnnLJih.it bad at ono timo possessed himself of a little monoy thai did not belong to him, and had gono to Chicago to commence lifo anew. Appended to hia affidavit wero numerous letters from his wife, written while ho was in Chicago, which, all but the last one, showed A FEELING OF GREAT AFFECTION on her part. This lost one, howevor, showed that his wife bad como to tho conclusion that it was time to separate Irom him, as sho waa offered a good home by her parents, and could not any longer put up with Buoh treatment as for throe years paBt Bhe had endured at hii hands.

Tbce affidavits showed tho defense of the youne man to bo that the whole affair is A CONSPIRACY on the part of his wife's family to separate them. Fo the many years of biB married hie ho has lived ki perfect harmony with his wife except an occasional tiff who'i blows wero exchanged, reconciliation at onco effected and mutual melting and klsBing followed. (See letters of his wifo.) Ho had aLio during all thoso years amply provided her with tho necessaries of lifo. and even gone so far as to supply her with those luxuries, oysters, lish and clams, to tlio amount of a dollar or two every week. (See ailidavit of the oysterman.) Tho reason assigned by the huaband why there Bhould be such a vile conspiracy agaiut tbe happiness of himself and his wife, in that his father in law is a devout Methodist, ond has beon trying for somo time to induce him TO JOIN THE METHODIST CHURCH but without success.

As a further proof of the oxist ei'CO of tho conspiracy tho young man says tliat whilo he was thus living in happiness and good terma with hin wife, notwithstanding manyacts of interference on tho part of her relatives, it waa suggested that he should go to Chicago and obtain a poaitfou thero and send for his family. He started on the 29th of January last and after he was gono her paronts moved into his apart mmta, alienated bis wife's affection from, him, and kept her a prisoner, and refused to allow him to eeo her or tbe children whon ho returned. Tho suit was commenced after ho left for Chicago, and ho has come on here to defend himself. II he had only been ABLE TO MARRY THE WHOLE FAMILY, the re would never have heen any trouble. The reading of these affidavits occupied tho greater port of an hour, iuteraporeod with tho remarks of counsel, and tho court, and tho langhtor of tbo audience.

Upon tho conclusion Judge Neilson took the papers reserving his decision. Dailey Perry, lor Plaintiff; Hubbard Ilondrickson for Defendant. SPORTS AND PASTIMES. Base Hull. Star vb.

Our King delegates boasted, before they left for Rochester, they would savo Tammany, and so secure their sinecures. A reporter from the Eagle called on tho Water in rotation to tho item. Commissioner Lowber was first met by tho reporter. Ho was shown the item and asked how muoh truth there was in it. He said he knew nothing about tho pay roll.

Tho reporter then went after anoth3r Commissioner, Bliss, and put the same question to him. Commissioner Blise, after reading the item, said that tho statement was a falsehood from beginning to end.

NELSON A BEAHL. Furnace, Q0.76 Stovo. 87.50; Egg, Nat, 86.50, ftndU I ymn ovriAim i i a i kTi Tho Lotos Club had a reception on Saturday night. Mr. Levy and many other members of tho dramatic profession woro present.

Tho Worldaaya: Mayor Hall quoted wittily a portion of tho Odessy of Homer, to show that Ulysses was tho foundor of tho Club." It iB pleasant to know that His Honor quoted only a portion of tho OdesBy." It ia agreeable to know that it was a portion of the Odessy of Homer." It is gra tifying to know ho quoted it wittily." It would be more gratifying to know that he quoted it correctly also, whoBe translation he used. Here are a fow facta about the Jerome Park races and race course It is the worst running track in the United States. The slowest time is invariably made on it. A deal of it is out of Bight of the stand, admitting of the mOBt outrageous jockoying. Its managers and members are tho most Bullish and snobbiBh peoplo anywhere on the face of the earth, outside of "first class society" in Brooklyn.

Every turf reporter in New York utterly dOBpiaos the track and its belongings. Evory newspaper in Now York "sproads on" and praises tho races there, spite of the fact that ovory ono of its representatives is ijisulted and treated like a dog, in tho discharge of his duties. The bonds of stuliflcation and falsehood undor whioh New York papers feel themselves to puff up the course, its coarser men, and ridiculous races, pass comprehension. The Committee of Bishops of tho Episcopal Church, five in number, Bishop Lee at the top Bishop Korfoot at the bottom, appointed at tho last triennial Convention, report to this iu favior of a canon or canons abolishing in church all inconso, tho display or erection of a crucifix in any part of the churoh, all processions, all lights around tho communion table (unless the communion bo administered at night), all elevation or adoration of tho elements, all service whatever, not found in the book of Common Prayer; they also recommend that the old style of ordinary priestly gowns bo prescribed as ex elu live. In fact, they deoido for ordinary Epia cot acy, (whether high or low) and against tho St.

All anism or Eworism that calls itself Anglican isn Tho Convention has yot to act on tho re poit which tho Committee aro unanimous in making. The Princeton Sophomores fear expulsion for haiincr Freshmen. It is to be honed thOBO fears bo realized. Hazing is brutal, and should bo resjonted even to homicide by the Freshmen. The avorago however, is always half brute an? half fool, just as tho average Froshman is Wholo fool and budding bruto.

Along with the report of tho Princeton row, comes tho utafemeut that tho administration of tho College was much loss correct undor President iletean than under President M'CobIi." That is a libel. Dr. McLean has moro tact and administration as well as gentlomanlineBS than a cord of McCoahep. Let Dr. McCosh court no comparison in this respect.

All alumni will wish hirh succbs in putting down hazing. Not ono of them will lot him or hia praisors libel Dr. Mc' Lean, who, for one thing, never called students liars and then had to apologize to thorn. Spain ia about to send reinforcements to Cuba. There aro two startling thinga about the Cuban rebellion: it appears unquonchablo, and it appoars to ho unable to got auy roal sympathy or respect in tho United States.

A lot of loaf era and Bwind lers aoem to havo traded on tho causo of "Cuban independence" in those Statos, not oven so respectable a newspaper as tho Sun has not been able to give character to tho rebellion; although it has boon distinguished for the oxclusivo publication of insurgent victories. Tho Administration, too, haa swung tho Government ao aquaro ly against tho insurgents as to blacken their rc puto in thia country, oven more than tho antics aud antecedents of their "representatives" hero havo dono. It ia but fair to say that in spito of a dozen "official" announcements of its suppression, the rebellion still Uvea. A liberty loving Administration here would long ago havo found or mado a way of allowing Spain that aho could continue her massacre, ravage and pillage of the Cuban people only at the cxpenso of our becoming her foe. But for neither tho Bopublic of Cuba or Franco havo wo had a kind word.

The Reformers in New York havo hit on a new way of getting at the facts about tho Court House jobs. They summon before a U. S. Assessor the parties to whom county warrants woro i.ominally endorsed, and require them to show cauao why thoy should not pay tax on twenty per cent, of the amount aa probable profit. Taken up short in this way, Mr.

Garvey's foreman, who figured aa receiving 666,000, deposes that ho never recoived anything from tho county, or did any county work on his own account, and that tho endorsement on tho warrants, purporting to bo bis, was not written by him. Upon this tho Tribune circumstantially repeats tho statoment that Garvoy has asaignod hia property and gono to Europo; the ring papors, however, still assert that Garvoy ia at homo, but too sick to bo aeon. If Ingorsoll'a counsel succeed in baffling tho Havomoyer prosecution against him, tho Unitod Statca Assessor will do well to put him through tho same catechism which has developed forgory of warrant endorsements in tho caao of Garvcy'a foreman. ICeyHer'H assertion that warrant receipts in his name wore forged to tho amount of ought to shamo the District Attorney, iu hia further default the Attorney Genoral or tho Governor, into instigating legal proceedings to discover and convict tho forgora of theso warrants. Chicago haa again boon viaited by two conflagrations, of a character most appalling oven for that city, whoao entorpriacB, disasters, crimoa and casualties aro always of gigantic character.

On Saturday night four blocks of buildings, consisting of lumber yards, manufacturing and other industrial enterprises, and including'dwollings usually occupied by hundreds of people, were quickly Bwept away. A Iobb of 8300,000 was sustained, tho narrow escapes were numerous, and one or two persons perished. Twenty four hours later tho desolating element again vis itod tho city, with results that make tho destruction of Saturday night a moro bagatelle. The second fire arose in the same general quarter of tho Icity, known aa tho West Division. The distance from the Court House is more than two miles, the general direction being toward tho Stock Yards.

The flames broke out about ten o'clock last night in a row of tenement houses, and extending to contiguous dwellings, ehopa, saloonB, lumber yards, coal yards. It had two hours later awept over a dozen blocks, and was still rushing on with great fury. At three o'clock thia morning a mile long and a half mile in width of Chicago's suburbs was a mass of flamo and blackened ruins, tho wind from the South was blowing a gale, sistor cities woro boing telegraphed to for fire steamers, tho bolls were ringing wildly and the city was panic stricken. Hundreds of families were homolesa, and many Uvea are reported lost. The fire by immediate contact is in a populous part of the city, largely occupied by its working classes, and their losses will bo keenly felt but tho high wind prevailing is scattering incendiary brands at great distances, and large districts of tho city, tho very centres of its business wealth, are im perillotl.

The city has a paid fire dopartmont of great efficiency but not equal to such combinations as that of Saturday night, whon tho fire had half a block headway and a strong gale as an auxiliary enemy. Tho details of this great calamity are not yet recoived, but from prosont appearances it will bo aocond only to tho groat fire Portland two years ago, or to that which Brooklyn Buffered from in Soptomber, 1848, when 200 houses were burned.

looked to their party for the public spirit to meet a grave crisis in its history. Politically the Tammany leaders are as dead as any oorpse that ever was assigned to its resting place in Groen wood Cemetery, unless thoy can bo galvanized into a semblance of life by a Republican success in the State, which will give tho power to Murphy and his gang to sit in judgment on their associates and partners who have just found the doors of a Domocratio Convention closed against them. This is tho roal issue. We have no fear that it will be misunderstood by the voiers of tho despite the efforts of the Now York Timet to make the contest appear to be this Pall betweon Tom Murphy on tho ono side and Bill Tweed upon the other. The fight is between tho honest leaders of tho Democracy who havo just secured control of their State organization, and venal Republicans, led by Murphy, who may oxpoct and will receive such support this Fall throughout the State, and next Winter at Albany, as Tweed and his henchman daro to give thorn.

Kcyscr on Keyser. Koyser had better have let well enough alone. By some unexplained and well nigh unanimous perversion on Saturday, it got reported that Keyser had made a restitution of $650,000 to the Now York City Treasury. The World did not publish the report. It Bays it doubted its correctness and withhold it.

Soh an an abstention on the part of that paper indicates as much reform and change of position as Keyser was credited with in the rest of the press, which shocked, to say nothing of having distanced, the World, by the publication of the "restitution." Tho "ne'er do weel" Corporation plumber now seems resolved to ruin the little reputation he made by tho reported restitution. He prints a card wherein he says that ho has placed 600,000 at the disposal of the Seventy to abido the issue of any case of overcharges which may be made out against him. The Committee claim that, by overcharge, he owes tho city. They consider the ease as good as made out, and tho money as good as in the Treasury already. On the contrary, Keysor says that the city still owes him and he insists on it.

Tho Committee, however, havo a case at least 600,000 better than his. They have opsratod on hia fears or honor to the extent of getting him to put up that sum as a margin to abide the result of a suit or inquiry about his plumbing charges. The Committee and Keyser, howovor, do not wholly disagree. They both agree that Keysets name to at least eight hundred and fifty thousand dollar worth of receipts has been palpably and unmistakably forged." It is, not so stated, but it is safe to infer, that Keyser and the Committee would not disagree as to the persons who profitably and probably realized by that forgery. Keyser is at too much pains to contradict that he has mado a confession and a restitution.

Even if he has not, he spoils a most beautiful sneeze" by his contradiction. He is a plumber in perplexities. Ho was pictured on Saturday as an apostate ring employe, and a restitution ary, repentant person. No other choice of roles would have so commended him to public forbearance and consideration. Ho was be coming interesting to a community that had long considered him respectable and rascally.

Ho should have thought twice beforo ho kicked the platform of penitence from under him. His last estate is considerably worse than his first worse by much more than tho conditional restitution of $000,000. We think Keyser makes himself out better than he means to, even by his card. No absolute restitution, but something very like to, and something very likely to prove, a restitution, he admits he has effected. He has put aside the money in the hands of trustees to abide the result of an inquiry into his accounts.

The Committee intimate which way that inquiry mil result. He has done more. Ho has characterized certain receipts signed with his name as forgeries to tho amount of $800,000 and over. The Commit tee also thus characterized it. Here is a very serious crime charged.

Keyser and the Committee ought to be able, and will be expected, to bring it home to somebody. Forgery is the easiest way to go to jail yet discovered. Keysor may protest till he is blue in tho face that he has made no confession that he has nothing to confess, and all that sort of thing. It strikes us that an assignment of 600,000 and the discovery of $800,000 forgeries are quite as valuable as any technical confession which Koyser repudiates making. Meanwhile, under the pressure of interviewing and of the Committee of Seventy, it is to be hoped that Keyser may continue to bo a horror to himself, and a valuable aid to the elieitation of truth and guilt.

Elementary Arithmetic Applied to Keyser. We havo elsewhere considered various phases of Mr. Keyser's card. He additionally develops tho following declarations Ab to the ammount of my property, I do not own a dollar's worth which I havo not fairly earned. I occupy a plain house in tho city, for which I paid $12,000 in 18C1.

My "ialand," about which bo much haa been raid, I purchased in 1857 for $1,400. The house upon it, alleged to have coat half a million of dollars, I erected under comtract for $1,600, and have since expended $7,000 upon it in extensions and improvements. The salt meadows adjoining I havo purchased at various times iuco for about $1,400. The other expenses about the place havo consisted of moderate repairs and trifling improvements from year to year. Sly "costly statuary" was bought of Mr.

Youngs, corner of Third street and tho Bowery, for $300, and the principal value of the place arises from its location and tho riso of suburban property at NorwaUc. Tho rest of my earnings, beyond the capital necessarily employed in my buswOBB, I have devoted to the founding and maintaining of the hospital, corner of Avenue and Tenth street, and other charities which approved my judgment. Now, this goes to show that Keyser was charged by other people much less than New York City and County were charged by Keyser. Let us add up the cost of the "fixings" he speaks of in the above paragraph, and compare the items with those charged against Keyser's name on the Corporation books FOB BIMBELF. iKBYSEB'S CHAnoES AGAINST Cost of houBo In '61.

At his own calculation, tho balance against the public and in his favor, over his own expenditures, is 1,854,892.20. Keyser had bettor let tho idea of restitution have prevailed. His figures aro "too thin." Hilton and (he New York Parks. The three qualities of Ex Judge Hilton seem to be prevarication, sycophancy and insolence.

His inspiration and denial of tho infamous appeal for riot in tho infamous organ of the rioters shows his prevarication. His lifelong toadyism to A. T. Stewart, (in our days ovory Midas has an ass inBtoad ot the ears of an ass), and his service of the King since it became rioh, prove his sycophancy. His communication to Andrew H.

Green on Saturday proves his insolence Mr. Green has been mado by the exigencies of a revolution, not lcsss intense because poaceful, tho virtual autocrat of the treasury of the metropolis. It is imperatively necessary and right for him to know the amount of money each department has spent. He asked Hilton to tell him how much tho Dapartmant of Public Parka have spont from January to October 1. In reply Hilton says ho supposes Mr.

Green knows that he has no power to require him to mako a report that only the Mayor oan do that but there is no objection to his communicating to Mr. Green what ho daily gives out to the press thataspublio information is accessible to all he takes pleasure in giving it to Mr. Groon. Then follows a full exhibition of the disbursements of tho Park Board from whioh it appears they have spent 2,610,944.71 in ten months, of which 1,540,806.54 went for improvement, and $445,042.65 for maintenance and government of all the parks of New York, the Central and the down town inclusive. We call attention here, and for the purposes of this article, to the Tirt cully insalt' 'Ma way to New York.

Tho special reason and opportunity just now for settling this long vexed question of a market for Brooklyn, arise from tho avowed determination of New York to abandon hor down town markets, Fulton and Wash ington. Tho crowded state of the streets around these old markets, and their own overcrowded condition, compel the New York authorities to establish more suitablo market accommodation in a less crowded, portion of the city. Tho population of New York has gone up town, and down town belongs to business. The markets must go up town too, both in order to bo most convenient to the residence of the bulk of tho population, and in order to havo room for the market business to be transacted. Tho chief Now York market of the future will evidently be that of the Manhattan Market Company, at Thirty fourth street, on the North river.

The building is now half built, and will cover an area of five and a half acres of ground. It is to be completed by next Christmas, aud will cover more ground than any building in the United States. The building is of. brick, with brown stone trimmings, onclosed in a roof of iron and slate. The Company own a water front of 200 feet, with a bulkhoad of 100x00 feet, and the water right from Twelfth to Thirteenth avenues.

Thoy own three and a half acres adjoining their building, which they propose to loase to the farmers. There is nlso adjoining the property a space of eleven acres, at present unoccupied. Obviously Brooklyn cannot see the main New York market thus transferred three or four miles further away from this city, and still continue to rely on New York markets instead of having a market in Brooklyn. Why this city alone has far mora population now, than New York itsolf had when Fulton and Washington markets were established. If no New Yorker ever buys a pound of food from a Brooklyn market, there are surely customers enough to support a market of the largest description in the four hundred thousand people of the City of Churches.

In order to realize what Brooklyn ought to do about any proposed public enterprise, the way is to look at it as if there were no such place a3 New York as if the four hundred thousand people of Brooklyn inhabited a city fifty miles away from any other city. No one can doubt that in such an event Brooklyn would havo first class markets of her own. And why not as it is? It is as absurd, humiliating and unprofitable for us to look to New York for our market, as it would be to roly on New York for our theatres or our churches. But so long as New York was willing to keep hor markets down town, Brooklyn has been content to trada at Fulton and Washington markets instead of having a market for herself. But now New York refuses to keep her markets down town for our convenience any longer.

She is going to sell her down town market property and establish great markets up town instead. Brooklyn can no more depend on a market at Thirtieth street, North Biver, than on one Jersey City or Newark. The duty of creating a Brooklyn market, which was clear before, is made additionally clear and absolutely imperative, by the action of New York in the matter. Our Common Council should understand that talk on this question is not wanted, but action. We have had talk about a market at intervals for twenty year3 now we positively need action.

The best plan will be to obtain a tract of water front on tho Wallabout. If the United States government be so churlish as to refuse to lease or sell or give to this city land which it has no use for, then we must fall back on the City Park as the next best plan, that sita being at once large enough, and already in the possession of officials who are friendly to the project of devoting it to market purposes. It may be well to learn what can bo said for the Kink, or for any other building or sitewhich individuals have on hand to dispose of; and the suggestion of allowing the market wagons to stand along Atlantic street and Montroso avenue is not to bo overlooked.
