A Reception auYEnlerialninont br Pupil to lUc Patrons of tlio Scliool. On Monday nigbt the pupils of the Clinton amnu lustitute, Mln E. A. Holoimbc, pr'aclpil, gve an entorLinmont to thoir parents and I irtnds to which the aDiUelon was by card and at wUih tho attendance vu largo and diatiDgnishtd. The exercises comprised niuslo, instrumental and vocal, dialogues in English and in French, original sketches and poemi by several of th pnpils and caUstlicaic exhibitions snlistlng in succession tho variotu depirtmonto of the school.

Without eiception, the programme, which was excellent in it was admirably interpreted a fact which Is made almost mariable when it is stated that none of the branches or periods of regular study have been affected by tho preparations incident to the reception. Careful training waB evident In the thoroughness and ease with which the different parts were sustained, yet they wero rendered with an enthusiasm which was as spontaneous as it was hearty. Evidently the warmth of greeting and tho imposing oharacter of the audience which assisted at the occasion inspired those taklug part, from tho youngest to the most advanced. The Kindergarten branch of tho Institute came Iu for peculiar houor, as deserved as it was earnest. In marching, singing and recitation their cheerful, happy, effective intelligence was charming.

Several of the more advanced young ladies as well as some who wero younger performed piano solos and duets, and othora sang beautiful aongi, all in a manner to refloct oqual credit upon them and upon tho musical instructor of the Inotltuto, Mr. S. Laaar, most plainly a faithful, brilliant and thorough teacher of the noble art in which he is so distinguished. In several instances all tho school took part; in others all the sohol ara In separate departments appeared. The pupils taking Individual parta were Bertie Tilney, Annie Walbridge, Andy Shaw, Alice CarBon, Minnie Doland, Emily Wiggins, Flossie Haff, Lulu Berber, Mary Stuart, Maggie Nichols, Laura Wallaoo Grace Hoyt, Miss Hurlbird, Emily Cornell, Nellio Hutchison Jones, Florence St.

Clair Jones, Miss Wilkin, Miss Sweotser, Bessie Wesson, Annie Whipp, Maude Lovett, Mbb Stuart, Carrie Oamp, Lizzie Cuatfleld, Jlatiio Woodruff, Lizzie Sanderson and Ihebe Wilson. Tho compositions of Nellie H. Jones, "Ihe Story of a of a little girl who in verso told "The Mission of a Dewdrop," were of surprising ability indicating literary talenta of a high order. The other compositions were able and ingenious. All of them wero wollread.

The appetite ia the man is also a terrible He had seen eaten of men who bad become possessed of such a ravenous and Pnquonchabln desire for strong drinks, that if they bid but one drink of whinky to take, and tbit would lend 'hem to eternal perdition, tbey niuit have tho whisky, and would have it at even a greater cot, if 11 wero possible.

All this drunkenness where docs it arise No man is boru a drunkard. No man ever drank to become one. It commcacM with the moderate drinking of intoxicating liquors from tbe ao called "harmless" use of strong driuks. Now let all tho young men and women oxchow moderate drinking and all the drunkard will die out fn thin generation; take away the root moderate drinking, nnd druukcuuess Js effectually stopped.

An ISxcitlnft Chase and Capture In tbe Twelfth Precinct Las ttJffht Jacob Shaffer, a veterau member of 4he thieving fnternlty, was captured in tha Twelfth FTff cinct list night. He is ft laborer by occupation, forty four years old, and has his abode at the corner of Moore street and Graham avenue, E.

D. He smashed a pane of glass In one of the parlor windows of the unoccupied dwelling of Dr. Weed, No. 1,401 Warren street, then forced tho fastening, and, after effecting an entrance, went to work deliberately packing up the carpets and ornaments. After he had got these things all ready for removal he unlocked tho front door and stepped out upon the stoop to see it the coiat wis oloar.

But It wasn't, for on the opposite tide of the street stood private watchman Charles Augusta, who hid been noting the operations of tho burglar, and only wilted for an opportunity (o capture hfm. Shaffer saw his enemy and concluded that he hid better be off, so ho started down tho street on a run, and the watchman followed. On they sped for three or four blocks, and the burglar was getting along finely, whon down upon him bore Policeman Tuito, who summoned him to surrender. Shifter wouldn't come too, and eo the chase was kept up for a half mllo more, but the officer wsb fresh and fleet footed, md finally overhauled tho runaway, who wanted to show fight but was afraid of the club. Shaffer wis taken to the station houso by his captors, and there recognized as convict No.

Dr. Weed, whose houso he had on tore ia a dentist at tho corner of Broadway and Twenty ninth street. A QUAKER CHRISTMAS TREE. The children who attend the Sunday School connected with the Friends' meeting house on Schar merhorn street, were pleasantly entertained list nigbl with a Christmas tree.

The Uttlo ones assembled at about nix o'clock, and for an hour played it "tig" and other juvenile games. At 7 o'ciook the child re and the older peopla gathered in the schoolroom to Ifsteti tooniddxesB from Friend T. Tubby, the Superintendent. Fnond Tubby referrod to the return of Ch rift mas, and read a tetter from Santa Glaus, expressing regret at his inability to be present and participate in th pleasure of the occasion. Upon the conclusion of Friend Tubby'n remarks, tha children proceeded to tho meeting room, and flocked about tho brilliautly lighted Christmas tree, which stood in tho centre of the room, loaded with toys.

Tho teach era distributed the prosents to the children, who received them with gratification and warm thinks. The exercises concluded with a few re ark to the children by tbe ltev. Mr, Camp of Ihe Second Unitar au Church. CONGRESSIONAL NOTES. The bill to provide for resumption of specie payments, agreed to by the Republican caucus, was yos terday passed without amendment by the U.

8. HenaU, all the Democratic members voting against it. Stnatr Ifsyard Del. denounced tho bill aa av inflation scheme in diaguiue. Some further debate occurred on tho District Government bill.

The Naval bill, which appropriates about $17,000,000, was debated in the House, and sevanl members strongly assailed the Navy Department for its extravagance and corrupt practices in connection with the navy yards. The bill was finally passed A resolution wis adopted authorizing the Ways and Means Commit toe to bold sessions in New York during the Paclfift Mail Investigation. Mr. Irwin being very ill, ho waa uot arraigned at the bur of the House as wis expected Eliza Burns, who wan accused by Mrs. Murray, of No.

Fever. Wall Sthkt, December 2. Tito stock market opened very strong this I morning and bufiinvs i during the flnt hour was quite I large in ull the leading stocks. Pacific Mail moved up on the. news that the City of Peking had arrived at Panama in advance of the ex pected time, and Lake Shore was strong at the covering of short contracts.

F.rtn opened at 'ITU and was steady at that figure during the uioniiug, Ibe Loudon market being without feature. Pacific Mail opened at 3G, and moved up to 37 before tho opening of the call. At thA Hoard, tha btock sold at 37 Lake Khore opened at 81 aud held up to this point for some time, finally falling off bcfov tho call to but reacting at the Board. North West opened foil off to and than 1 reacted to 4i on the call. Tho preferred opened aj agalnBt 5'.

at the close of yesterday. Rock Island was steady at lOl'n's. Western Union opened at 80? and sold down to 80 before the call. Central sold at 1WX, SI. Paul was steady at Union Pacific was firm at to 5 and C.C.

fr I. C. at Ohios opened at fell off to 31 and reacted before the oall. Wabash opened at sold at and then fell off to beforo the second board. On the call bmiuess yearn dull and prices sagged off a little.

Tho passage by tbe Hemts yesterday of the new financial bill takes the street by surprise. It is regarded as so decided a party movement that fears are entertained by some that it will be rushed through the Houso by Republican votes and may bpcome a law without being so amended as to be of any practical value to the country except in so far as it declares that specie payment! shall be resumed on the 1st ol Jan nary, 1879. When the bill comes up in tho riouse, it is probable that the market will feel the effect of the possible legislation more fully than it does to day, though some speculators are disposed to sell Btocks on tho possibility of its final passage. It is a question whether Ihe bill a measure of contraction or expansion, and this doubt cannot be solved for some time. There ia quite a fever of excitement in certain circle having business interests with California over the re cent discoveries of the prcclouB mta!" in tho Comstock lode.

The rise in stock haa been almost unprecedented. For instance on the 21st of Nobember last stock of tho California Company was selling at 83. On Monday it waa held at 500, and yesterday tt fell to 450, On the 2lst of last month the stock of tho Virginia Consolidated Company waa sold at 165 tt was held on Monday at 500, and yesterday it sold at 470. Tha fitocke of almost all tho California mining compani? havo advanced in this period as from 87 to 14 Charicar Potoei from to 83 Ophir from 76 to 175 Hall Noreross from fit to 04 Yellow Ticket from 131 to IG9 Raymond Ely from 1X to 23. Gold has been steady this morning, selling at Uljtf.

The reports from London aro to tho effect that the rate for money Is 5i per cent or below the bank rate and tho latter may be reduced to morrow. Tho bank gained bullion to day. About noon a dash was made st the market by the bears, which resulted iu breaking down prices nearly one per cent, as compared with the highest points of the morning. This was doubtless done to induce realizing sales on tbe part of weak holders. Quotations of Houthern securities were Alabama.

Shortly before eight o'olock a voluntary was played by tho organ 1st of the church, Mr. Robins, ouo of tho oinoors of the Union Temperance League stated that ho was sorry that be hid been unable to advertise that the music of the oveuiug would be under tho direction of the organist of the Church of the Redeemer, Professor Alzaniora, assisted by M. A. Arthur and tho choir, together with Mist, Oar rlo Brown, generally known is Little Carrie." Mr. Robins, in calling the meeting to order, said that tho Rer.

Dr. Cuylor would open tho exercises with prayer. Dr. Cnyler prayed that God would smile on tho benefl cent enterprise which had been started to warn mon from stong drink, sod on all orders and organizations for the promotion of the work. May the men who hare fallen ou tho stumbling block of strong drink be recovered aud sustained, ind flud thoir feot flrmly pltnt od on the everlasting Rock of Ages, A ftor somo excellent singing by tho choir, which wia duly applauded, Mr.

Robins slated that the principal object of the meeting was to discourage the practice of the ladies giving strong drinks on New Year's Day. The ministers of several different churches had been Invited to attend and were present to speak on the subject, and there was also a brother from the other side of th a Atlantic who had spent moBt of his life In tho temperance cause, and would epoak. Ho had the pleasure firsL however, of introducing a person who at one time had been the proprietor of four liquor stores In Brooklyn, but who had now reformed, and wis working with grand success tn the good cause. He then introduced. MR.

COTTER, A REFORMED LIQUOR DEALER. This gentlemen, who had been seated on the platform with Dr. Cuylor and Mr. Robins, arose, aud was received with applause. lie is a medium sized man, with dark hair.

Ride whiskers and mustache. He safd tbat the tcmperanco business was a new ono to him, but he thanked Gad that he was no longer a TumBoller. On the 13th of last April, by tho assititauco of those good women who had been visiting the different liquor etorea in the city, and with the help of the Almighty, he had reformed and now was clothed tnd In his right mind. No idea am bo entertained of tho great work these ladies have undortaken to perform nor of the amount of good they have done. In the City of Brooklyn alone there are ll.UO liquor shops, that was Ihe number at leat that thero were Iant June, but through tho instrumentality of the Onion Temperance League of Hiugs County, nix hundred of this uumbor have been clo.sed up, aud about two hundred have decided to close on SuudavH.

Thus over ten hundred bar keepers have been freud from slavery on the Sabbath day they havo bcn ael itve from working from six or peven o'elock In iho morning uutll eleven or twelve on the Sabbath night, dealing out this ib'c aud brimstone to any nnd all who had money to buy it. The Leaguo Uax not only employed moral suasion, but it Ft nu i(inttiucei. coercion for it has called to its aid Mil strong uriu of tiie law, and through it pi rhlst ont wi.iiun there ha been some itt'ty eighf iiceiiHes rfvolurd. The ladies aud gentlemen who have not wit iifustM it, ought to go and see some of them excise, trial! lnn th; Hipiur di dlera will strain every point, and tlicir conmul xitfn every legal loophole to tho best advantagf. anil iry.nid frame a plausible excuse for the savn of thuiv Jjceu, The League bad no lawyer, but (10t WAS ON ITS SIDE, lie knew that the League was in the rigid, and He bus watched over these cases tor it.

During the past week there havo been four licenses revoked. of the places was near the church in Fleet atreet low crowds congregated tht ro on a Sunday, and the place has always beon an annoyance to tbe pastor and the con gregation. Bhiek and white people were allowod to congregate together in this saloon, but the League swopt it away. Then there was another ono which bad bee.u an equal annoyance, to tho Methodist Tabnrnacle in New lirooklyn. aud the pastor appealed to the Union Temperance League to help him, and it went to work uud broko Ibis plaeu up too, Tho ivarinn that liquor dealers don't want to close ou Sunday is because it is the dby when the work lug mau ha nothing to do.

and hbj week's wages Iu his pocket, and they are after his money alt the time. Those kind women aru doing wonderw they not ouly tbrne men and bring tberu to their meetings to make temperance men of thein, but they go further, they convert them and make them Chriytiarm. The speaker uaid he wsh Hurpiiut'd at the first of these ladies, who called ou him in his Haloon, ihey called him und that is the way that they tulk to the poor neglected ear.t off druukurds. If men tire to drink liquor, by all means let them drink good liquor, and uul this vile poiaun that in duiiy concocted ln. re.

You can't gef good brandy for less than $18 per gallon then what sort of stuff do you suppose iti sold for ton centfl a drink. Now as to tbe adulteration of liquors, auy man can get a barrel of American whisky or "I'rench spirits," uud go over to the chemist at eJ, 74 wniimn street, New York, aud there for $1.00 ho cau buy drug enough to tike out of lht samo barrel of whinky; brandy, gin, ShdU Cruz rum, and nil tho drinks known to the trade. ThiB ia the Bort of liquor those men drink who fill the madhouses aud the jails, and who commit the crimes which are daily chronicled in tho newf papem, and who can wouder at it? Now this Civil Damage act has been declared constitutional, and already two liquor dealers have hud to pay heavy damages. It makes the landlord liable as well as the rumseller, aud uflur next May you may be sure thai landlords will be mora careful as to whether or not tbey will let their premises for the purposes of a liquor utorc. Mr.

Cotter aid that the three Commissioners of Excise were all good mcu, they acted fairly and impartially. Every day loot wjoIj wa givno to the trial of excise cases, aud had it uot been for the death of Captain Bourne who wus a very good officer they would have devoted a Bimilar amount of tiiuo this week. The speaker said he hoped the day would come wbeu the selling of liquor would be entirely prohibited. MB. THOMAS WHtTTAKER.

the temperance advocate from England was next introduced. Mr. Whiltaker is over sixty, but is still vigorous and hearty. In speaking, ho bus a habit of walking up and down the platform, and speaks with clearness and force. Ho Baid that tho principles of tempersc and tbe practice of teetotalism were right, and nothing could make them wrong.

The meeting had been called to warn thoss who attended it of the evil practice of drinking which is so prevalent in America at this time of the year, AH people ahouid beware of moderate drinking, It is that which eventually leads ou to druuk enuebs. Now Iherc is a right and a wrong way to start, ho knew It well. He remembered when it homo aud quite a boy, the minister used to drop into his father's house, and his mother would straightway place him in the urm chair and give him some ale of her own brewing. He remembered the minister saying that the ale was good. Ho said sn, and he was i good man, and the speaker an a boy thought It must be good too, but ho hadn't any of it.

When the minister ainacked bis lips ho smacked bis, so while he got no ale he had tho desire, and that was just as bid. The desire took hold of him, and he first got tho money and then he obtained the liquor. Let parents bowaro nerer to inculcate the. deBiro for strong driuk either in their own children or those of any one else. Ho was more afraid of respectable church going people than any one else if thoy kept liquor at their houses their children must see.

it at Home time, then with the sight would come tho desire to taste it, and then no one knew bow far a love once acquired would lead them to. Home people lookat the question in a way that they don't want to see tho truth of it, but there was just this about it. There was a straight, dividing line no uncertain boundary on tho ono Bide was Drink fc and on the other wan Temperance Ho. Thno who did not he long to the one muBt be of tbe other. Now when two men go into partnership they imihially resolve to stick by the profit and Iops, and so lot you, of either side of this line, stick by tho profit and loan, too.

Let iia look at them on the side of Drink Co. Is it true that drink produces rags, disease, tilth and misery 7 Yce, Drink it is that's yoiirp, stick to It! Is it true that you send half the lunatics to the asylum 7 That's yours Is it true thai you till nearly all the prisons? That's yours! Is it true tbat you are the cause of over otic half tbe crime thai in committed all over the world? That's yours: Now turn to the other side, that of TEMPERANCE CO. Is there not found a happy man, blessed wilh a happy wife and family, with a comfortable home, bright fireside and peaceful life There certainly is. No one can deny it. This may be called hard picture, but il is true.

A man if he drinks but ouec year belongs to the firm of Drink and is responsible for the results of bis copartnership. There course, gojd men on the side of Drink no one denies thnt, nor is it denied but there arc bad men in the teuipi'rnc firm, but one thing is certain, that Hit men of Drink At Co. would be better on the other side, whilst the bad men ou tbe tcmiwiancc rid bo i'ar worse on that of Driuk Co. Applause. The speaker said that forty years ago he took teetotal ism in the same way as ho diil Uw wife lor better or worse, and until death, aud ho meant to stick to il.

It is claimed by the Hqwo' dealcre that (hey don't hurt th 1 temperance men, and so the temperance men houll not trouble them. That Is not so. Why is i that jails aud almshouses are wauled? Jcanfcp ol drink. "Who has to pay for them aud suppoil them, Ihe liquor dealers whore the cause of Temperance men and every one has to do it. Consequently thr.

liquor deal urn touch Iho tompcrauce men in a sure npot, their pockets; 1 therefore how can theliijm iWier wonder that th temperance men should be afi thein all time. The liquor business i the i Jit'iditio; stone or" the jail aud poorhouse. TURN OTV TH "I romembor once," said Mr. Vhitlakcr, 'iuat in the town where I live Sc'irbov in Yorkshire with some other gentlemen, went to the, HcssionB to prevent two men from being licensed. Tho men didn't get their license, but two other did, and the nuisance still oxislcd.

I told the m.igistr.iies that we were not relieved, that they had turned pig out of the stye but had put i sow in its place, and that what wo wanted was the stye to be removed. The magistrates laughed, and said that I was very funny mora witty than wise. Well, three nwnthB after that the Councilmen of Scarborough were called upon to build on addition the jail. I notified the magistrates that I should protest against it, I knew I should not bo successful, but sometimes I can afford to Iobo. Well, the day cam'1 round when the Councilmen and magistrates we asafeinbled.

and I told them this story One day my kitchen maid turned the tap on to let water in the boiler. After Bhe had done it she ran upstairs in my Temperance Hotel, to talk to the chambor mald. When she gat down to the kilchs again she found the boiler was not only full but running over, and tho kitchen door was flooded. Away she goes and alarms the chambermaid aud tho two went to work aud commenced mopping up the watu I came in and saw them at it, and found that they had not turned off the, tap. "Why don't you turn off the I mid.

Well. I went on to the magistrates. I came to you three months ago and asked you to take away two licenses; you didn't do it. Since then men have drank snd drank, and now you see tho mess youv'e got into. Your jail is not only full but running over.

Why dou't you turn off the Up? You want to build an addition to the Jaii you are only mopping It up. Every time yon send men to thf jail you ore only moppfm? it tip. Now let me ask you, why dont you turn off the tap Applause. Mr. Whittaier went on in 'this stylo illustrating his remarks by pointed and forcible anecdotes, and in conclusion he said that tho temperance men, were bound to win.

He had high authority for it is written in Scripture, "Every plant which is not of the ord'a right hand planting shall be rooted up." Tho rum traffic is not of the Lord's right hand planting and a time willeureiy come when it will be rooted up. Mr. Whfttafcer apologized for having taken up so much time, but was interrupted by repeated cries of "Oo on" "go on." "No," he returned very drjly. Tm going off, and suiting the action to the went lis lei 6 the platform amidst a storm of apanc. One of Ihe choir then sang in try effective raan iini of which was ner.

"licarer my uu very Jiflleult, but excellently i i after which "LITTIiK eang a soug entitled 'arry v. Man who Drinks," and wa applauded. After a collection had en taken up, the Rev. Joel Parker, of the Warren Metuod. Church, was in IriKluca.l aa the la it r.

He said tbat the two great enemies which the tern per. nee men had to fiht against were Avarice and Appetite. The avarice of the rumseller and appetite in the muu. The avarici of tho rumrellcr ia death tn Ihe voic of conscience; it controls the man, takes po wewon of him, and him on tomaka money at the jqsI ol Ocial, AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING.

The Superintendent of Police is herewith Informed that early last night the residence of Mr. David G.

Cowio, No. 263 Myrtle avenue, was broken into by a burglar while the family waa absent, and robbed of property valued at $150. The burglar among other articles, carried off a gold hunting case watch, valued ut $00. The fact that a daring robbery such as this can luo committed on a thoroughfare like Myrtle avenue, at an early hour of the nJght, speaks well for Captain Craft's command. EMBLEM ASSOCIATION BALL.

UTS RECKPTIOX. Presentation to the Professor Despite the very unpropitious we ather of jast night Burnbam's Academy was very numerously and fashionably attended, the occasion being the second of tho eerics of class invitation receptions given l)y the meiubcre of the Benior ladies' class to their friends. The entertainment was not only, more than usually interesting by an ocenrrence which presented a gratifying interlude to all present, the result being a genuine surprise for Mr. Burnhim, who for once realized the fuct that ladies could keep a secret. It appears that the members of the ladies' class had deter uiined among themselves to give their gentlemanly and skillful teacher a well merited Christmas present, and in order to do the thing up in good style they sought the co operation of the gentlemen's class, and between Ihe two a surprise party was arranged and the Professor was to be the victim.

A Bplendid gold watch and chain was purchased, and last night it was duly pre euted to the astonished Avon. Ho was just about to commence the Run postures the last of the calisthenlc eierciBSB when Mr. Halstead Btepped forth and in a very witty and humorous speech presented the watch. Of course Burnham was caught napping, and surprised as he was he made a very good response. The watch was inscribed as follows: 11 A token of affection, esteem and regard, presented to Mr, A.

C. Bernnam by the lady and gentleman hidenta of the Academy of Physical Culture, December 35, 1874." After the watchman had arrested Mr. Hslatead, thft eiercies were conoluded and then dancing closed the entertainment. MIbs Eva Dix led the calisthcnic exercises of the evening with her accustomed grace and skill. COLUMBIA MISSION ENTERTAINMENT.

A musical and literary entertainment in aid of the Columbia Mission Sunday School, for their Christmas festival, was held last evening at tho Harri aon street Church, near Court street. The entertainment was varied with instrumental and vocal music with interspersions of comic and dramatic readings which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. First on the programme was an overture of operatic selections by Prof. Hill, tho musioal delineator of New York then a solo, tho Tides Com? in," by Miss Anna Duuphy, sung with delightful expressiveness Speak to me," by Mr. George Sibley; Barney O'Hea," by Mrs, Thomas; a comic reading by Miss Maggie Taylor, which elicited continuous laughter from the audience; a duet "In the sung by the Misses Collard.

and an instrumental piece entitled "The Mocking Bird," by Misa Augusta Hartman. Mise ifVobb gave a dramatic reading which displayed her genius to great advantage, and Mr. Dunning's two solos, "Non ver" and "Good Night," were rendered frith great acceptance. Prof. Hill, hoTrever, was the magnet that kept the audience till a late hour.

He gave an instrumental panorama of Niagara Falls, and in response to an enthusiastic recall gave ludicrous imitations of a new beginner at the piano, and Blind Tom. In biB closing selections he sang a comic negro 6ong. 'Sleighride down Broadway, Fifth avenue and Fourteenth Etreet," French Opera, sung in the Japanese manner in Vienna, near Hoboken an imitation of Mme. Lucca in opera, and the pianist Rubinstein. Be also gave a specimen of ventriloquism, and a humorous description of the country schoolmaBter, which fairly made the children shout for joy.

Those who have labored assiduously io "get up'1 thft ntertainme it are Miss Josie Fleming, Mr. Canfield, 4Jr. Taylor, and Mr. George Sibley. THE CITY COURT CLERKSHIP.

The Position of cx Regisl6r Mcl.aufpb lin on the He is Misrepresent cii "When Cliargort 'orcinp; an Appointment Bargain and SaleThe Clcrlcfehfp iu (ho Controller's Offiice Inter view V. i(h the ex XtegistCT. The reporter of the Eaole, yesterday morning, called on ex Register McLaughlin to obtain some facts relative to the eituation in the contest over the clerkship of the City Court. Mr. McLaughlin was disposed to give the reporter all tho information in bis possession.

In answer to the question aB to who would bo likely to receive the appointment, Mr. McLaughlin aid "I know nothing about it and have heard nothing bout it for two or thre days." Reporter You are credited with making a fight over Mr. Robinson, Mr. McLaughlin I was induced first to recommend Mr. Robinson to the judgeB, assuming that he waa in very way competent for the position.

I iny commendation on the ground of being a citizen and a taxpayer myself, as had reiired from activo politics as a member uf tho Democratic organization lame two or three yeare ago. After having made the recommendation I was misrepresented, I think, by parties who placed me in the position of trying to fort or press the appointment of Mr. RobinBon. Reporter That was not your deslpn, then Mr. McLaughlin I occupy the position of having, in connection with a large number of iniluenlial lawyers and citizens, recommended Mr.

Robinson for the place. 1 bavo taken no further part in the mattsv eaceptto say that I would be gratified by his appointment that it would be a proper thing to do, and that he is competent, although that is a matter which the judges will tuvo to consider. I believe some ot them will consider bit application impartially and with a desire to do exact justice. Reporter I Bee you are charged with interested motives in this appointment, Mr. McLaughlin Yes, I noticed in the papers a statement that it would be the result of a bargain and sale Mr.

Robinson should be appointed. I was implicated to Borne extent fn that ttatoment. I could say to thoe frho are interested that tber is no truth whatever in that atatement. To sum up my position exactly in the matter, I claim the right of petition and I claim the right of the party to accept or reject all petitions and to aelect the persons btst filled to discharge the duties of any Office. But it i eemed to be the disposition of some people to prejudice the mindaot the party in power against ftfr.

Kobinbxjn, by charging thai be was seeking the office through powerful political influences, which I knew of my own knowledge was not the case. All I Bfked in the caae was that his petition should receive flue consideration, find al 1 Raid wan that it would be very gratifying tome personally, as a citizt and a taxpayer, that he should receive the appointment. Reporter Can you give me any idea who will receive appoJotmniiU under the new Controller? Mr. McLaughlin Mr. Powell is a man of horongbly sound judgment.
