"Mer the Committee bad all ot together, the Jirtle cmMPILY moved over to one of the tool- aectsunder the exceedingly grateful shade of she county’s portion, where ALD. COOK od out the plans and specifications on the sforesaid convenient tool-chest, and the gentle- mea pathered around to inspect them. After a Lret stady of their contents, Ald. Cook catled the Committee to order and addressed them as follows: entlemen, the Mayor and the Brilding Com- itiee thought best, 1t having been etated publicly ke jonrnais of the city hat the construction of Ihe cits portion of the building here was fauity, ToSila committee of experts of the ola buildcrs of he city. let them take the plans and look aver b work and, if it i faully. eay ¥o. 1f mot, if 1t lnoit eay so. In either case, the Mayor ‘vittes the Committee to report 1o him the reeults o iheir investgation. The work 18 just ommenced. and it cin be easily remedicd Son. I silowed to prozress, it _canuor be so eosily remedied bye-and-bye. ' If it i fauliy we \wonld rather know it now than at another fime. So we have called upon you 10 take the plans and specifications, look 2t tac work, and say Whether il oris not fanlty. Mr. Cleaveland, incharge of the building, wirl explain anything 10 vou in re- gard to the plaus anc the mode of consiruction. At the sugzestion of Mr. Cornelius Price it 'was decided to inspect the walls and then pro- ceea over the way to the rooms of the Citizens’ Associstion and deliberate. Accordingly the Committee divided up into emall parsies, which passed around the wallsand observed with considerable closeness the beight 2nd thickness of the granite and upper courses, the quality of the brick_backing, the character of the mortar, sand, lime, etc., in use. The general opinion was emaently in favor of the con- struction_#s it bas been carricd on and, whiie tome of the stones were pointed cut as being nather thinner than, according to the . speci- fications, they ehould be, the Sense of the in- spectors seemed to be that the average thick- ness was even greater than the requirements. in the Citizens’ A e Astion v sociation rooms was called to order sbout 11 o’clack, Mr. Cornelins Price be- ing chosen to preside, and Mr. Jenney being talled uponto act as Sccretary. 3ir. Price, on taking the chair, said hehad just retorned to the city, and waso’t very familiar with the object of the meeting. AMR. GOODMAN . «ald the ereat question for discussion was as to the thickness of the stone in the granite course. The Timesand & mumber of people were ob- jecting to it on the ground that it did not extend into the walls sufliciently. It was dsimed that the water table of the. county’s building extended in some two or three fect, that the granite course 1n the city’s portion onght to extend in s far, and that it was very injarious to_the structure and stability of tlie building that it did not. ‘The Chairman observed that, fn that case, the msin object was to ascertain whether the brick was sufficient to carry the weight of the build- Ing above, The specifications for the stone-work were alled for and read by the Secretary. Supt. Cleaveland stated that he bad found five ‘pleces of granite which did not quite come up %0 the specifications, as far s the thicknees being one-half the height. However, as it wouid take two weeks 10 get extra stones, he thought he would be justified in letting them stand. Alr. Hollingsworth asked if the average thick- 2ess wouldu't be more than half the height. Sapt, Cleaveland replicd that it would. Col. Fitzsimmons ssked if the wording of the necifiations on the subject was that the thick- ness of the stone: should average half their beight, or that they should not be less than Lalf the height. There was a material differ- ence between the two wordings. Te Secretary read from the specifications: “They shall be at least one-half the height.” lr. Boyington asked for the specifications for the brick-work. ‘The Chuirman said he was about to suggest a question for discussion: - WAS THE GRANITE COURSE SUFFICIENT for the purpose iutended ¢ Ar. Goodman said he was just going to move 1b2t the mecting express its opigion as, to the suflicdency of the granite course, and he would 0¥ move that this course. as furnished and sct, was amply suflicient and _eflicient for the pur- poges for which it was desiemed. 3 Chambers geconded the motion. b Ir. Boyiozton again called for the specifica~ lons for the brick-work, and they were read. the MR. BOYINGTON hP‘fth‘t the whole question resolved itself into this: Whether the brick-work, backinr the ,El_wlw: was sufflcient to carry the superstructure., u".' were some stones that did mot quite ml:n;. D 10 the specifications, but of course the Paole stress cathe in fact upon the brick-work cking the granite course. Now, as to e sufficiency of the brick-work to sup- o parle | bearin of the whole tucture, he did mot think the -omnittee could determine that at its present £ession. It could simply take Mr. Cleaveland’s Smmean 2510 the amount of stress brought w":?am asinele foot. As an individual, he 1170 take those caleulations, but be doubted = € public would be satistled. If the brick: Otk was suffident to carry the other work, \npreseion was that the granite course was fsble of dolugall the service it was ever Puund to_perform, which was merely a flh:‘l] service, to prevent disiutegration or soloration in the limestone. Alter the take was up. the gramte course mizht be eatje, 2537 and the buildiug would stand per- hap sqgi should likie to ‘ask Mr. Cleaveland s calculutions he kg made as Lo the great- Ereas on auy cubic foot. - Cleaveland said the weight was equally buted on the foundation by estimating Lons to the square loot. In 1o place did ofaeed that. e had the calculations in bis ”"'_& iviug the weight on eacht pier. Bollon yington remarked that there were large O avitics in the lanre main walls, whict, -+ Cleaveland badsaid, were for the purpose ot uding nonecessary weight, to obtain the re- astrength, aud also (o have the piers the dried out. The reduction was also for PUrpose of seving cxpense. ol MR. JOBERT KNIGHT, Mason with a pair of avoutas strong l:'nhq“ Were ever put into a buman body, said Wormought the only fear was as 1o the bri dotk. ‘The thing to do was Lo cee that it Wwa “’Mltmnimu to the specifications, and if it s dove right and. carried _the load above, Howo§ Tubbed tozether with its proper propor- o of cement.

Sometody near Ed Walker asked the gentle- I’s name, and Mr. Knight saug it out at the {:Mf tis voice, adding, “Mr. Walker knows m!mrm:." There was an ivtimation o what that their acquantancs Lado’t been ost friendly character jm- hambers said he could indorse all th uieht bad said. and he didic think i i€ ior him to s L3 R 2% apFthiug more, a5 r. Mr. Prussing remarked that it seemed t 3 00-sided urvaneeinent 5o far, and. he Weulq :‘x:‘e to hear the ditferine views, il there were Mr. Goodman called upon Mr. Waiker, invit-" ing him to urge his objections, 1f ke had any. . 12 e, WaLERR e e would answer the gentleman i Ly statine that the stone work \rasnvf""br’,’fiflé to specitications. A few stones, now uncovered, would speak for themselves, There wero tor. tainly twenty or thirty pieces that did not come near the snectications. These were all bare, lu:lx nni‘ m:-lkeu up by bri i Mr. Goodman—uo you res Ereat l{:}\;i;\ncnllm the Im"dluz:!rd thas ssaoy r. Walker—I stmuly regard it as of a detriment: Wihere there is :miumxx?\: of &tone there will be o superabundance of brick, aud somebody will Lave to pay for it. These eentlemen have brought these scctions, but L uave never secn any of the distingnished gentlemen cail for the ground pian of the hase- ment story. There is no ground plan here. This section dou’t show auything near the depth of the stone. The sccond course is not according 1o specificattons, .and there isn't a gentieman in the roowm that can prove that it is. Therc is an inclosure between the sill courses, and it measures over eisht inches on the bed, and a larger one fivé and six, exclusi of the wush. Those are already backed up and cannot be seen, but what is not backed uy stands open to the vaked eve, and can be examined Ly fitty men. "The third, or Ccourse, which is two feet two, would, according to the soecifications, require thirteen inches exclusive of the rustic, is not five, and four-lifths of them are feather-edized on the joint, notwithstanding our distiuguished citizen and taxpuyer, Mr. Robert Knight, to the contrars. 1 claim’ that this Committee, appointed by “somebody and of which 1 knew nothing until this morving, hasnt brought the broper plans. This section here simply shows the walls; we waut the whole surface exhivited on tue table betore we can tell what we are doing understandi I thinie Mr. Boyington, with the larze expericnce he had, nndoubtedly would- never suuction a stone that is three feet on_the head, ive sud six fect lung, and gouged out like a chunney-flue, and then expect thiat such stones would have s pre- vonderance of supporting werght on top of them. Atter a stone was placed there, s large amount of flues in the other corner, by those buttresses, are reduced by the weight,—by tak- ingout the amount of superabundant wersht supposed to sustain the building between those buttresses. Supt. Cleavelund said he was reudy and illing to get all the plans, if the meeting so desired. Mr. Boyington said be supposed the real point of contention was the grxnite vourse, but, 1f they were to cousider the others, they needed all the plans. M. CARTER offered the followivg as a substitute for AMr. Goodman’s morion : Licsolved, That the Committec of Architects and Builders. convened at the request of the Magor, after having examined the cut-slone work of the new City-Hall and cowpared the same with the specifications, bex leuve to.report thut & work is of excellént quulity and accordi fications, the zeneral apyearance of the work ex- cellent, and_in_our opinion the character of the contractors for the cut-stone is a suticient guaran- tee titat the work will be continued in its present excellent manger 1o its completion. The resolution was sceonded. Mr. Carter—It scems to me there are vnly two ways to get at this thing aud make u re- port, and one is by adoptinz the resolution I bave suwacsted. We have been over this work, and I don’t believe there is a man here that is not sauisfied with its quality and_charseter. There isn't a doubt that the foundation was constructed scientifically, and that it will staud there forever. Withoregard to the work now being put up, I suppose that, while technically there migzht be some cases where the specifications have not been exactly complicd with,—though 1 failed to see any such,—still I think the general appear- ance and character of the stoue-work not only of the best kind of granite, but that the entire ework, as far as can be seen, is beyond criticism, and is )l that the specilications con- template; that it is adapted to the purposes of the building, and that it will stand and last for- ever, if it is properiy backed up. I am satistied, and 1 supoose you all are, that it is all right, and that the cry made about it has comc from an outside source, some source inimical to the seneral good of the cizy, for the purpose of bursting up the existing contracts, ihrow- ing the whole thiniz into pi agaiv,” aud al- Jowing further wanipulativns in this matter, so that the men that goaround with their hands be- nind them may get them filled. | Walker arose, 25 if to protest.] 1don’t make this statement as implying that avy gentleman ju this room has Jone snything out of the way. We can go on and indorse tae work, and it s the only practi- cal wuy, and it will cacry more weight with it than any other action wecould tal We cau say that the work isright and staud to it. The ouly otlier_ way is_to-appoint a committee of experts, with Mr. Bovington to Liead it, an@ let them look the whole matter overand report what thev have a mind to. Alr. Boyineton didn’t like the wording of the resolution. While the resotution was a state- f the facts, still there were some points jn which the specitications badn’t Leen exaczly obeyed, and a resolution could be so worded that it wouldu’t be quite so pointed in that particular. MR. PRUSSING 2150 opposed the resolution in its present form. The two wreat questions_were, whether the work had been done according 1o specifications, and whether the work as done would weet the Tequirementsof the case. ‘Thesequestions were entirely separate and distinet, and should be discussed one at 2 time. The pomt rased by M. Walker about the thickness of the stone and tbe inclosures, he thougnt, aud the claim for extras, wasa fgood one, but it wasn' the question before the house. “Mr. Carter said the entire course of granite was probably two inches Wider than the specili- cations called for. He would guarantee that it gveraced twelve inches 2il throush, and that in but very few cases was it less than ten. Mr. Prussing said the inclosures were not in the granite cours .\lg.m\\‘:lxer explained that they were in the second, or B, course. _ Mr. Prussing said they were getting things mixed, and had better adhere to Mr. Goodman’s resolutis Mr. Walker thouzht so too. Mr. Goodman remarked that when a specifi cation said a stone should be of a certain thi ness, aud the stoucs averazed that thickness and caused no .more by viog in the agure- mate in the backing-up, that was all the build- ers would expect or require. Col. Fitzsimmons insisted on the wording of the specifications, that uo stone should be fess tban hait its beizht, and could pot sce bow the uestion of averages had anything to do with thie matter. The stones were vot according to spocitications, whetlier they were suflicieat or elicient. ¥ 3 Mr. Randolph thouzht the specifications re- uircd the thickness of the course tu be onc- balf the beight. ! Mr. Carter's resolution was read again, and, on putting the motion to adopt, it received but 1wo votes, and wus lost. B Mr. Goodman’s motion was put and carried by 4 unaNUNOUS vote, “Tie Cozirman said he supposed the other question was a5 to whetner THE BRICK-WORK +was suflicient under the stone-work to carry the building. Mr. Bovington didn’t think that could be de- termined in @ meeting. It required considera: bie calculation to ascertain pressure, stress, ete. Mr. Goodman thought the meetine hud done all it could in discussing and disposing of the question regarding the granite course. 1f there Were any other charges, 3 committee of experts mine into them. agton sad that, as an fuaividual, he Mr. Boy u should be perfectly willing to take Mr. Cleave- Taud’s statement as to-the bearing cupacity of the work. But the pubdlic had :Alfl)ad)" neard Mr. Cleaveland’s statement, and wash't sat- jstied. ‘Thie papers were clamoring tuat it was insuflicient, and it ought to be lovked iuto. For a committee to sa5, by simply fovsing over he work, that it s or was not sutficient, was more than he could sanctivn. 3 Mr. Carter thonzht they had been invited to pass on the chiaracter of the Work alreauy done. Tnese plans had been passed on Ly proper authorities, and a commitiee might work on an investieation of them il next winter, aud the reople wouldn’t know guything more about them thau mow. They were satislied to-day with what had been done,—all but a few sore- ‘heads who were trying to bust up the work aud GET UP A STEAL. Mr. Walker was instantly on his fect. “Pq you think,” said he, *the peaple don’t thizk here i8 a steal in it now?™” Mr. Carter—I have no reason to suppose that the public thinks auy such thing. | Mr. Kuizht, azain playing his stentorian voice for all it was worth—I dou't kuow whetber the people thinks thereis a steal in the Counil, but \we know there is a steal in the other building. Seusation. ! Mr. Bnuu}aflu—l‘uzhcr, a plurality of steais: Laughter. L Mr. \\'nll!cr—Tncrc is no offense. I mention this because Mr. Carter keeps talking nbol{\‘, men putting their bands behind them. 1 dido’t suppose that was the ubject of thuy meeting ad alle Mr. Carter said be haa made no statements reflecting on any one present. K Mr. Prussing moved to adjourn, statine that he thought the Committee had done all it could do or had to ca. Mr. Cartar didn’t think so, and remarked that the Zimes would_siate this morning that the Committec failed to indorse the new City-Hall. And the eriticism would be_just, too, if ey adjourned witbout doing anvthing further. MR. BOYINGTON offered the followi Resolved, That. from the inspection of the work and material now in process of constraction in the new City-Hall ns it presents itself to-day, it 18 in every cssentis]l particular equal to the requirements of the specificatious, und in every way suflicient 10 make a permanent and sub- stantlal structure, presuming atthe same time that the, arciitect, Mr. Cleaveland, has made ail requisite calculations for the safe bearing weiglits of every part of the building. Mz Carter dislikea to see any question raised as to the sufficieney of the plaus, which ques- tion, he thought, wus rajzed in the resolution. He therefore moved to strike oug all after the words *substantial structure.” Mr. Goodman wanted an smendment incor- porated approving tie action of the Muayor, Council, and Building Committec in the award- ing of the contracts, and in the conduct of toe City-Hall down to date. It was sugwested, however, that the resofution was out of order on this occasion, and its author didt not press ir. Mr. Carter also withdrew his amendment, on an explanation that the objectionable clause was not intended to reflect on the plans. There were sotne subscquent amendinents in the wav of slight alteratious in the phraseology, and the resolution, as _finally adopted, took the following sbape, Mr. Prussiny being the only oue who voted no: ‘Tpon inspection of the work done at the City- Hall, now in process of constructivn, we aftirm the workmanship and material_employed and incor- porated in the building 15 in_cvery essential par- ticular equal 10 the requireients of the specitica- tions, and in every way suflicient to_make a_per- tuanent and substantial structure, assuming the calculations for safe beariny weishts correct, a8 made vy Mr. L. D. Cleaveland, the arclutect. The Chairman ava Seeretary were fnstruced to sizn the resolutious. both that of Mr. Good- man and that of Mr.. Boynton, and transmit them to the Mayor. The meeting then adjourned. CURRENT GOSSIP. CYPRIAN DREAMS. Pt Malt Gazette.

Frasers_Maynzine, Burmah is the paradise of the smoker, if his varadise consists in the abscace of all restraint ‘ou his favorite babit. No preacher will here hint that tobacco-smoking is the first step to drunkeuness, for, “with rare exceptions (and, alas! chicily where the European has brought his vices with his -civilization), the people are water-irinkers. ‘Thereisno fear of offending the seneibifitics of the most delicately-nurtured Lady, for the women of evers rank are, if possi- ble, more inveteratc smokers than the men.

A MIDSUMMER YARN. Washing tonCor resondence ~ Cincinnalt _ Enquir e Let me tell a story which came to me direct last night from a party who was interested fn the matter. We were discussiog the subject of the Lincoln assassination, and the aviaity with which each particutar of that crime Was Dow devoured by the buogry public, and bé told me Loy, by almost an accident, the life of Presi- dent Hayes was preserved on the day of the innuguration. - You will remember the pro- found sensation created by a “*leader’ from the versatile pen of that genius, Col. Don Piatt, published, possibly, two wecks before the itn of March. On the eveuing of the 3 o youuz man went to a Roman Catholic pricst in this city and said he was in great trouble and had come for advice. With a Tew-words of encouragement from the monk, De proceeded to state that be bad met during the day un acquaintance, s gentleman from Chiicago, who told him be was here for the pur- pose of shootinz Mr. Hayes the next day while he should be delivering iis inuugural address, 2dding “[ have known bim for some time, ather; hie means what he says, and [ really betieve he has brooded so long over the clection frauds that he will carry out his designs.

Cuicaco, Aug. 3.—I make bold to agsin In- trude on your space, and this time in answer to “N.Y.S8. L A,” who, in his letter of yester- day, affirms that the cure at Binghamton is the ** tapering-off,” and not the * cutting-off*’ pro- cess. Be that as it may, sufficient cvidence of the ineflicieucy of their treatinent i3 wiven by “N. Y. 8 [ A himself by admitting that “T cannot remember one case of opium or mor- phine babit that was ever cured in that place.” Judging from this cxperience, he adds: “1 pelfeve there is no cure for the inebriate if there is no will-power. But I hope your method may help the opium-eater.” Inorder to prove my assertions as o the Binghamton treatment, [ let follow a verbatim copy of a letter lately re- ceived. The italies are mine: 1 w10y, N. Y., July 21, 1877.—DEan Docron: Incloved. you 'will flnd u circular giving rices, ete. If your patient has greal wii-power, really wishes 10 be cured from her Luoit, she night be weaned from St; but itis a long, tedious process, winch probibly would take thrce months, brovided she bid no extra_ morphine guring that time. T'he really best wey is 10 luke it ureay vmmne- duately.” The sullering for a few days is sharp, but can be relieved by tonics, cic. It is almost im- possible to_gay how long » cure would take, but it after the morpame is discontinuca, her mental condition 18 ireak, six (8) months 18 shor? enourh. I think that the 'repeated faiures in curinz the morphine-habit is caused by allowing the patient to returz to old ansociations before the mind bus guincd suflicient strength to overcome temptation. 1t does not acem to me enough to simply take away the opium. . Conjinement uiakt be neczasury for u short time; that would depend somewhat on the patient. e ‘This, I trust, suilices to show clearly the hor- rors of such a treatment, where ¢/l depends on the wili-power of the uvfortunate patieat, and notlhing on the so-called “cure™; where after undergoing punishment severe cnourh to cleanse the most evil spirit, not even a guaran- tec of actual deliverance i given, and the entire treatment is initiated witha “ might e weaned ™! The cxoenses, excludive extras, are, quarterly payments in advance of $260,and an uddi- tion quarter’s fec of the same wnount guaran- teed. which seems sbout the only thing guaran- feed, i. . 3520 und extras, one balf year’s suffer- ing, and—at that a meagre chance of ultimate guceess! In the Binghamton Juchriate Journal, for March, 1877, the following article can be found, in which, after a few preliminary obser- vatious, is said Close confirement is absolutely necessary. The attendants must e persons of known intesrity; they must be capable of not oniy resisunz the piteous appeals of the patient, but above the sus- picion of buing susceptibie of receiving bribes. 1, at the end of forty-eight hours, tha patient does not make frantic entreaties for his etimulant, tne phiysician may depena on it that either the patiens has conceaied some of the drug about his before going under treatment, wr has obtiined a portion” by Corrupting the attendants. The bed- ding and cell should be re-exumined, and the pa- tient stripped of his clotiiing, and it is probavle that both & change of apartments and uttendsnts would be beneficial This, however, is no occasion for pro et eon arguments for the opium-cure. - The main polnt adhered to should be, to uctually cure opio and ‘morphiophages, by employing such a_ treatment as will guarautee & compléte and Jasting deliv- erance, without the terrible and unreliable so- called tapering or cutting-ofl cures. [ fully un- derstund that opium-habit cures are at present at u discount, as so many swindlers have mulet- ed the public out of money, happiness, and atience. But I cannot more than aflirm—and this aflirmation is bascd on facts, on mauy cures actually witnessed—that the treatment ad- vocated in last Sunday’s TRIBUNE, though by no means claimed as oriminal, §s perfectly satisfuctory, and can be thus proven by any intelligent and educated phiysiciav. Any physician can guarantee a per- Ject cure in from one to_ three weeks, provided ‘the ‘patient comes to the doctor’s residence, and ces himself or herself under his direct super- vision, the same as all other chronic cases would willingly do, if but any assurauce of success is proffered. [ repeat that this method of treating the opium_and morphiac habits is as safc as sure, and does not necessitate any sufering nor confinement, the patierit being perfectly at lib- erty to leave the doctor’s residence durin: the day, as no dauger of Lis or lier taking tie drcad narcotic exists, since the treatment so thor- oushly sustains them that no, or but very little, temptatiou ariscs to bring ou a relapse, I again and again apoeal to the medical pro- fession not to tarn the cold shoulder on these unfortunates. They certatly can all b saved their misery and Teturned 10 socicty as useful members. ‘The sooner physicians “take this wmatter into their own hands, where it properly belongs, the svoner will all the swindling quacks be driven from their nefarious doin these scoundrels who fill their coffers with the despair and scalding tears of hopeless habitues. Let it be our gim, firstly, to ensnare as few as possiple into this fearful enthrallment; secondly, to freeas many s many as p from it. ‘I'nis latter can be done by clozely ob- serving and judiciously altering, if indicated, the method deseribed in ‘Tue TrisoNe of last Sunday’s issue. DR. J. C. HOFFMANN. a2 HOW HE STOOD OH HIS EAR. To the Editor of The Tridune. Cnicaco, Aug. 3.—Collins went home one afternoon during the heated term with about half & keg of cool lager aboard, and found his wife in the kitchen ironing. * Ob, you’ve come, have you?” she said, as he was pulling off his boots, preparatory to his taking a quiet snooze on the lounge in the adjoining room. *Yesb,” e mildly answered, *been buying a horsh for friend of mine to take to Kansas;.awful tired.” «Suppose you think £’m not, with all this wash; come here and steady this chawr; I'm bothered most to death with its continual tip- pinz.” Sie had the troning-board_stretched 0 the back of two chairs, one of which seemed %o take special delight in standing on its bind Jezs. Of course Collins submitted, and, seizing 2 lone-fisherman fan, planted himself on the contrary chair, just between the range and the water boiler. ¢ Phew,” exclaimed Mrs. C. “1 believe this is the warmest day we bave ever had.” “Terrible,” muttered Collins: *119 deg. Farragut in the ice-wagons.” ¢ What I “Nothing, my dear. Phew ! Turkish bath’s a Jusury.” Afly lit on his head, was immedi- ately drowned, floated down behind ms shirt-collar, and rested in the small of his back. For a few minutes hestruzzled hero- ically to brace his cyes opeu, bat it was no use; he nouded. His wife was just makiug some remark about the eclipse, When there was u crash. Collins had slid off his perch, cut his ear open on the edge of a wash-tub, the flat-iron slid down' the ironinc-board and struck him in the jaw, and the clean skirt fell juto 2 tub of suds. ‘There was a flash of something white goinz out the door, and " Collius found himseif in a beer saloon bLalf a block away, telling some friends bow his wife tried to murder him with an ax, and struck him on the head witn a brick. On investigation the truth came out, and Colling sneaked home about midnizht with an car on him like a twin banana, content to sleep on two chairs in the dining-room and 2o off very carly 10 his business the next morning. The boys gaze at his afflicted ear und smile, bt say nothing. Any agent having a patent self-nolding ironing- board will find 2 rood customer in Collins.
