Bowen, his confederate in that magnificent dirt job. O’ Beirne seems to have a considerable amount of spar etime for loating, and for interference in ward politics In Washington, and the Secretary of the Treasury may come to the conclusion that the dutiesof his office as disbursing clerk in New York can better be performed by some one who does not find the political and financial dirt-business of Mayor Bowen so irrésistably ‘Tue SENATE niLt changing the judicial dix tricts ofthe United States attaches Maryland to the Penusylvania district, and if it passes the House, legisiates Judge Bond out of the atti ce to which he has just been appointed.

Messrs. A. K. Shepherd, Lewis Clephane, H. A. Willard, W. J. Martagi. Alderman W. W. Moore and Dr. A. P.

Hon. H. Hamlin, Chairman Senate Committe: 1) C Dear sir : Believing that the financial state ment furnished your committee by the Mayor Washington under date of June Ist, 1879, of th amount of indebtedness of the city of Washing ton is entirely incorrect and calewlated to mis lead your honorable committee, we request that you designate some proper disinterested person with power to ascertain the exact amount dae by the Corporation ot Washington, and feel a sured that such investigation. will prove the floating debt to be largely in excess of the amount stated by the Mayor tn hix cemmunica- tion above referred to. Signed) Alexander 1. Shepherd. Lowis Clepbane, William W. Moore, H. A. Willard, W. J. Murtagh, A.D. Fardon. he committee directed the clerk to ascertain trom the First National Bank the amount which the Corporation is overdrawn in that bank; to ascertain from the City Register the amount of dishonored checks of the Corporation outstanding; amount due school tea-hers amount due police; amount due the Levy Court: amount due the Gaslight Company; amount ot Corporation scrip outstanding; amount of un- paid pay rolls of Ward Commissioners; amount due the Fire Department; amount due Corpo- ration employes, cc. The investigation will be commenced immediately, and the various ward commissioners and others handling Corporation money will be summoned before the committee, in order that the trae amount of the indebted: ness may be ascertained. he gentlemen above-named, who appeared before the committee, pointed out the various items in Bowen's letter, and the misstatements made therein. For instance, Bowen, is letter, estimates the tloating debt of the corpo- ration at $335,000, but the amount overdrawn bank (nearly £200,009) and amount of honored checks (over $100,000) alone come within a few thousand dollars of Bowen's esti- mate, to say nothing of the amount due teach- ers, police, corporation laborers, Fire Depart- ment, Gas Company, Levy Court, outstanding pet & vc, Which will fully double Lowen’s estimate. ‘The gentlemen whe appeared before the committee, as will be seen by their request, did not ask that their statements should be taken in the matter, but that some proper dis.nter- ested person investigate the subject. American readers of Charles Keade’s @ rrent story, “Put Yourself in His Place,” are apt to believe that his Gescriptions of the style of war- fare of some of the Trade Unions of England upon the inventors of labor-saving machinery are overwrought, but some late transactions by the brick makers of Ma ster, England show that Keade has not over-paixted his pie- ture. These brick makers, it seems, having signified their sovereign pleasure that the use of machinery shoald be abolished in their busi ness, and that no more “worked ste: be brought into tho city, they naturally toc nd themselves in contlict with the master builder- The guiding spirit of the opposition was a Mr 4 who succeeded in outtlanking the jy to find himselt placed in # state ot seige. For twelve months he has not been to sleep many nights together in one place: his friends refrain from visiting kim for fear ot sowe disaster; his servants wish to leave Lor tue same reason; one attempt has been mate to blow np bis house, and another to n his wood-yard; his coachman would rather leave hisservice than drive him home at night, aud to crown all, he fs asked to hour ter each policeman him.

The brown stone cutters of New York, numbering 1,000 have been ona strike since March 10th, and have obtained $1.59 way per day of eight hours. Beth strikes, it is as- serted, originated in an attempt of the em loy- ers to increase the hours of daily labor, aud to diminish the pay. The cigar makers’ strike show no prospect of a speedy settlement. The strikers bave found work in the smaller shops at prescribed prices, and have gone to other cities. Contributions in aid of the strike, it is reported, are coming in treely from the country unions. The shocmakers ot New York are now earning $25 to $35 a week, working eight hoursa day. On June 6th, a Convention of the International Typographical Union will be held in Cincinnati,Ohio. The German ber of Manufactures, at Leipsic, Saxon recently resolved to form trade societies at the centres of Germany industry. The object ot these societies is to further the interests of the working men, by settling the differences be iween them and their employes by triendiy con- ference. son oe GERMAN EMIGRATION TO AMERICA AND CuARACTRR oF THE EMIGRANTS.—According to the Magdeburger Zeitung, the emigrants thi= year are distinguished from those of former vears by the fact that tive-sixths of those wha have Hales te seek Ld Gas! a TS are persons in the possession of capital. Be- sides this, they are mostly people of some know!- edge. Formerly the peasants and day laborers of Pomerania, West Prussia and Posen formed the principal ‘part of the emigration. ‘Tliey were, therefore, people almost utterly unac- qQuainted with the state of matters inthe Union, who went there and were exposed to numerou- dangers before they could settle. This year it is more particularly the more intelligent !a borer and merchant who seems desirous of try- ing his fortune. -+e0e- A Chip Kitten sy Parseoric.—Dr. Morris, of the Board of Health, yesterday sent & communication to the Coroner's office, in which it was stated that Mrs. Ehegott, of 2s; Monroe street, bee he te each of her twin children, tourteen days old, ten drops of pare- goric to induce sleep and quietude.

Mr. Morton presented memortal and resolu- tons or che Isractites of Indianapolis, on the sul ject Of the recent massacre of Jews in Romania, and asking the prompt interposition of th: President to stav the farther effusion of immo cont blood. Referred to Committee on Fereign Relations. Mr. Sumner offered a resolution requesting the President te communicate any informats have in reference to the alleged mass: cre of Jews im the province of Romania, Mr. Summer remarked that the reports which Bad reached tus country of this massacre must be exaggerated. 1t was too horribie to believe. It was important that all the official informa- tion available should he had, and in the interest ot humanity it was proper that action should | taken by the great epabiic of the Went. Mr. Sprague said the circumstances in Rou- mania were that the Israglites had acquired nearly all the lands,and monopolized wearily all the trade, and while they were flourishing, the remainder of Ube inhabitants were in pov- erty and destitution. On one side there were poor people, on the other rich traders. Here was the canse, and there was food for retiection in the condition of affairsin this country, where wealth was being accumulated in the hands or a few. Mr. Stewart hoped that Mr. Sprague did not mean to intimate that because a man got rich he ought to be killed. ‘The resolution was then passed. Mr. Trumbull called attention to the bill to apportion representatives in Congress, among the several States. It was important that this Will should passat am early day. The late lange addition of the colored element to the white population would make changes in the repre- sentation of several of the States. The census Was now being taken, and it was necessary that all necessary legislation be perfected as soon as posible. ‘The Indian appropriation Bill was then pro- ceeded with, and various amendments agreed to.

Y.) wished for some more definite information in regard to the appropria- tion for collecting custom, and asked that the Dill might go over. Mr. Beaman said he was willing to take the sense of the House upon the subject, and would ask the previous question upon the’ passage of the bill, the ayes and noes were ordered and the Dill passed; ayes 116, moes 45. Mr. Winchester (Ky.) asked leave to ofier a resolution in relation to the late reported mas- sacre of Jews in Koumania. Mr. Schenck said there was very little truth of this report except what was contained in the telegraph. It might beahoax. Me therefore hoped it would referred to the Foreign Acairs Committee fur inguiry. ‘Was so Te- ferred.
