NO DILL FOUKD, ‘The Grand Jury yesterdsy found an Indlctment against Joseph W. Bweeney, the bunko operator, which was s good thing, but it refased fo find an Indietraent against George Eager, which was a bad thing. The vote stood 10 for flndin Indiet- ment and 13agalnetit. This result was not sue- prising to thoss who wera on the Inside. At the time the Grand Jury mel, Tng Tatauys called at- tention to the fact that John Grahsm was oneof its members, and went on togive the particnlars of visite prid by Graham to the house of 8 man whoso name waa nol mentioned, for the purpose of con- sulting with him in regard to the testimony to bo ven by a colored woman named 8is Moody In the Sagef case. The name of this colored man, which was not inén given, Is Dan Webster, ' After this publication, Graham protesicd his innocence, denled that he had had anything1o do with Eager' matters, and called npon the Grand Jury to inves- tigate him. A committee was appoinied by that body to obtain fntormation. They came 0 Tux ‘Tmiauxs office and were furnished with what thoy asked for, They called upon Webster, who cor- roborated all the_ statements made by Tnk Tnin- uxe. It is understood that, during this week, aworo , hat he had been to Wehater's honse in regard (o, the Jenny Love case—tho rame case that Tax TRIRUNR referred to. The Commities reported against sehitewashing Graham, and the report was accepted by the Grand Jury, Graliam retalned bis place on the Grand Jury, and Eager has been uctively at work on the out- side. Thursday, the day befare the vote was taken, three of the members of the Grand Jory wete in company with Eager at Mike McDonald's, All the membera of the Urand Jury were cantloned by the Judge when impaneled to have no conver- ration with any person againet whom thers was a complaint toucning the merits of hls case, It would be intercating to_know if these jurors who were st Miko McDonald's with Elrr #at there and drank and smoked, and yet refrained from apeak- :‘i! of hia case, or -lmtt oir oara when he attempt~ to talk of it.

There wero about 100 jonrneymen coat- ‘makers present, and the proceedings wers conduct. ed [n the Dohemian langnage, in an orderly and quiet manner, Commitiecs wers appointed to conenlt with all the Nohemian coatmakers in the cily, and, by quiet persuasion and & statoment of the matter. get them to joln in the offort to _ obtaln higher prices than those now provalling. The Sec- tion decided to nee all Lonorable means ta farther tho movement, and pledged ita co-operation with the other Soctions, From an intelligent member of the Section it was learned that there were 250 costmakors {n the city who wota enlisted {n the movement, and bnt A yery few contracting tallors who were not. Tha Iatter they did not fear, for the resson that they conld o bat liltle of the large amonnt of work re- quired. The pricescarrent for coatmakinzare 81,25 10 81,50 per garmant, and it took abont two days to finlsh & good deees-cout for which the latter figure would be pald, thus giving the tallor but 70 cents per day. That was In earea where the imxrne(mn «id the work alone; and the contract- ing tal better. The informant sald that $2 per coat was littlo enongh, and that gave them only a living rate of wages, However, it was pruposed to ask abont 10 or 15 cents more per coat than 18 pald at present, and with that end {n view it Is likely that a commitiee will be ap- pointed at a mass.meeting of all the tallors connected with the Union to confer with the om- ploying clothing firmna for the purpuse of cffecting & compromise, though the tallors have not yot agrecd npon the fgurea they willank, An advance upon present rates 18 1o be asked for at all events, Irnol granted a strike will onage. for the avowed reason that the men cannot support them- selves and familles upon the prices now current.

The question now is, whether the pres- ent Board will recognlze and become a party to the outrages of the old Bonrd ; whether thoy wil] recoi- nize tho authority of Ychmidt and others to give Sexton any euch orders by allowing him his pend- ing estimate for 825,000, The County Attorney has been appealed to In the matter, vory unnecessarily, for the reason that in andlting the claim the Bonrd muit test its justice by thé records, which llm‘rll show that Sexton was questionably authorized 1o construct & part of the foundation of the dome, and nothing more. The work, liowever, shows that be did not stop with the completion of the dome, but went forward and bullt the first story, bat his orders In the matter are confined to a Cotns mittee which had no more authority over the work than ono of McAllister's unconstifntional vaga. bonde. The Joint Committee will reviow situation this afternoun in connection with the County-Attorney, and it should not lose sight of the fact that the probability fs great that the work ::n Sexton demands psy for must be ultimately m down, THE CITY~ITALL., Tavente warrants to the amount of $600 were louued yesierday, ‘The Printing Committec met vesterday aftornoon to conslder tho bids for advertining, They decided torecommend to the Comptroller to award the contract to the lowest bidders, which are the Post and the Slaate-Zeltung, The acavenger work cost $870,70 doring Janu. ary, or an average of 333.40 per diem, being le than was evor before known, and tho work i wel Thero wero hiteen teams em- gla.ud.
