Some have, however, been discovered. ‘The reason for making the transfer of these | y-rolls to the controller's office was on the core of economy, as by it the offices of sscre- tary and treasurer tothe boards named could be and were abolished. The facts were communicated to Chief Clar- voe of the detectives’ office, who assigned the case to Detectives Sargent and Mcf!rresh, who bave since been vigtlantly at work, and suc- ceeded in fastening the transaction where they belong—on certain well-known persons, some of them not very far distant from the Morrison building, and one at least an employe in the building, who has returned to that office after | an_absence of sixty days’ furlough. Some surprise has been expres a1 that so far | no criminal proceedings have been inaugarated by Controller Baker, knowing full well, as he does, the suspicions of the detectives and the | absolute certainty wf covicting some of e suspected parties of forgery, and others of ing and abetting in it, should such proceed- | ings be entered upon.

Dr. Verdi offered @ resolution that extra two horses and two wagons and eight men be put inthe pound service for two weeks for the pur- pose of taking up doge running at large not properly muzzled, asordered by the Board ot Health, and that eaid service be done at night ; well as by day. DR. COX SUFFORTS DR. VERDI. Dr. Cox thought the resolution a good one aud hoped it would be adopted. The recent lament. able cases of hydrophobia in New York had alarmed the people, and very justly xo too; and it would be well to heed the clamor and yield to the people in this respect. ME. MARBURY DON’T CARB POR PUBLIC SENTI- MENT AS EXPRESSED IN NEWsrarais. Mr. Marbury was not in favor of shaping leg- islation im accordance with the hue and cry of newspapers. Both the Star and the Repu/li- can bad contained se articles ridiculing the | Board, one of them asking if we had a Board | of Health. He was not in tavor of paying atten- tion to such articles. Hardly any one inthe city was aware of the great amount of labor that this board was doing but indulged them- selves in casting slurs on their acts. He thought Dr. Verdi’s motion would lead to too great an outlay of money and ove that could not be jus- tified. The board owned one more cart now | and ifthought best he would consent to allow that extra one to be He was in favor of shooting every dog in the city but did not think the board could afford the outlay proposed in the resolution. DR. COX WILLING TO VOTR THE SINEWS oF war. Dr. Cox said he was notinfluenced by any | newepaper article, but care for the safety of the community. While we were ridding one end | of the city of dogs they were increasing in an- | other portion, and to have only one cart catch- | ing dogs in such a city as this was a disgrace. | It was the duty of this board to abate this great | nuisance, whether at an expense of $100 or | $1,000. Several communications had been re- ceived from intelligent persons complaining of the insecurity of children while playing about | their own doors in the evening. The dogs hay- ing been shat up all day, are released at dask, and fll the streets in all sections of the city. DE. VERDI'S LAST WORD AND THE DOG WAR TO BE ACTIVE FOR TWO WEEKS. Dr. Verdi was in favor of heeding these com- plaints and doing what could be done to protect the citizens from the annoyance and perl! of barking and howling dogs who infestod the | streets at night. He thought the board was abie | to bear the expense for the time ind cated inthe resolution, viz: two weeks, aud would be juati- fied by every citizen. The resolution wag then adopted, and the board adjourned. eS CHARGED witn LaRrceny.—Yesterday OM- cer Piaf arrested John pear go @ colored rag-gatherer, on the charge of larceny, pre- ferred by Auna Davis, colored. The complain- aut states thatshe had removed, and hired do- fendant to take a trunk from L street, near Joth, to the corner of 15th and @ streets, and char, that on the way he broke open the sold the contents, valued at $75, aud then sold the trunk. He was committed to jall for 8 hearing. i a THE ELEVENTH AUCTION SALE of oy taken by the Metropolitan force too! mond papers contain a long letter from (over- nor Kemper, explanatory of certain private letters to Colonel John 1. Mosby relative to General Grant and the third term, and to hia visit tothe President in December last. He opposes the third term, but he says if the rature should bring forward a candidate impersonating the third-term principle; if he should cat loose from all party trammeis and take his stand on our safe, conservative ground of universal re- conci.iation and peace under the Constitution; and if,so standing, he should be opposed by any champion of the civil rights iniquity, then, in # contest between the two, the conservative party ought, in bis opinion, to go deciledly, but as an organized party and not otherwise, for the third ermer; yet with a protest on their lips against the third term principle, and in spite of that principle. In regard to his visit to Washington, ho says that, in response to an express desire conveyed to'him orally that he would call and see the President, he, after ad- vising with a number of able and leading con- fervatives, made up hie mind to make the call. He went and had a manly and square talk with the President, and says while he would not so violate propriety as to allude to particulars, yet | he regrets that every word that passed between them could not have been taken down and pab- lished, for its publication would have done credit’ to both, and no discredit or harm to any part of the country or people. ‘Tue Crors rn Missovat AND PeNNSYLyA- N14.—The Missouri papers convey the gratify- ing intelligence that the crops are unusually promising in that state. The Springtield Pa. triot estimates that there are 25,000 acres of wheat in its county, which will turn out 15 bushels per acre, yielding a total of 375,000 bushels, of which 200,000 ‘bushels will be for | export.’ This may be ‘taken as an average of | the way tu which our exchanges generally speak, ali of them declaring that there will be | alarger yield of wheat in the state than was ever known before; aud, what is more, the grain is plump, fall and hard, showing that the quality is as satisfactory as the quantity. The growing corn is coming on finely. Equatly cheering a og &re made of the crops in P ia. The hay crop now being yarvested is unusually large. Corn, potatoes abl truits of all kinds promise an abundant yield, and the state papers ‘‘look for one of the largest crops ever known.” Igish Home Kuve Orrosgp ix Tae Baitisa PARLIAMENT.—In the British Houze of Com- mone last evening Dr. Butt moved his resolve in favor of home rule for Ireland. He main- | tained that home rule involved no disturbance of the principles of the constitation. ‘The attor- ney geveral for Ireland gave a decided and em- phatic negative to all the propositions which Dr. Butt had advanced. The present proposal was infinitely more dangerous to the peace and prosperity of the ceuntry than the demand for the repeal ofthe anion. A collision of the Im- Es and Irish Parliaments would be inevita- le, particularly on questions concerning com- merce and finance. The proposed action would endanger the whole commercial and social fab- ric and the political constitution of both coune tri It would be dangerous for England, but practically serious for Ireland. He regarded the Agitation on the subject as mischievous and Tatile. After farther discussion, debate on the subject was postponed unti! to-morrow.
