A decision bas been made by the commission. ers ofthe sinking fund that in converting cer- tificates of indebtness into the ‘-t5 bonds any difference between the amount held by the ap- plicant and the denomination of the bond re- quired mast in all cases be paid in cash, but that where the ameunt held is above the amoant of the bond the; cannot make any payment in cash or acknowledzement of any balance being due, ss the law does not aathorize them. This gives great diseatisfaction to the holders of cer- fifieates, and many of them have expressed their determination to keep their certificates themselves. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The taxes are coming in quite rapidly, and the Commissioners feel great encouragement ia the prospect of meeting ail obligations as they become due. Should the taxes all be paid in, er very nearly so, the Commissioners think there will be no necessity for the negotiation of @ new loanon the District collaterals, which Will soon be released. Already they have had offers from some of the largest and most re- spectable bankers in the country for loaning them money at 5 per cent. on these collaterais. The purpose of the Commissioners is to avoid this, if poseible, no matter how favorable the terms offered. GOOD NEWS POR THE LARORING MEN. The aceounts of Contractor W. H.

MAJOR RICHARDS AGAIN CALLED TO Tum STAND, EXAMINED AND OROSS-BXAMINED. This morning in the Criminal Court, Jndge Humphreys, the trial of Hiram ©. Whitley, Riebard Harrington and Arthur B. Williams, charged with conspiracy in connection with the slieged safe burglary in the district attor- ney’s office, was resumed. As on previous days, there was a large crowd present. THE JURY INSTRUCTED BOT TO READ NEWS- HAPERS. On the opening of the court Judge Hamph- reys said that if any of the jurors nad read a newspaper during the recess, they must not repeat it, for scarcelya paper can be found which does not contain some allusion to the trial. They should not converse on the sabject of the trial, and should, as far as possible, keep themselver entirely free from outside remarks as tothe case. They should be, as it were, a perfect blank paperon which no impression must be allowed to be made, except that which comes from the witne: 5 MAJOR RICHARDS RECALLED. Major Richards was recalled by tho govern- ment and examined by Mr. Riddle. After they returned to the office they spoke as to what version of the affa'r should be m to the re- porters; Mr. Harrington said the results had not complicated Mr. Alexander, and he desired. that no mention be made as to where Benton was arrested; the word used was implicated or complicated. Witness gave nothing of the af- fair to the reporters, and referred them to Mr. Harrington; he stated that he had given orders to have his office lighted up the previous night to Josh, and it was done; there was an unier- standing that after the affair was over they would G0 TO THE CLUB HOUSE and let Mr. Evans know, which be understoo? wss an intimation that they were to have some- thing to eat. Cross-exaimined by Mr. Davidge:—There were others present when they returned to head uar- ters, and Harrington said that the fact that the man was arrested at Mr. Alexander's door did not implicate Mr.A. Don’t recollect that Mr. Harrington said that ne man would allow the books brought direct to his house; nor does he recollect that H. said that he ordered the offi-e to be lighted up because Evans informed him that areformed. burglar had been seen to go ta the office. Thinks it was 5:50 o’clock when the dispatch was received at headquarters for bita to call to see Mr. Harrington, and he received 't about 6 o’clock, and went directly to Mr. H.s house. He was not at home, and while lookin for him met Clarvoe, who said Mr. H. wante. to see bim at 7 o'clock, and they both went around. They (H. and himself) discussed at some length whether the letter should be no- ticed, and witness stated as a reason why the letter should be noticed, that such letters some- times led to La gripes results, and instance? the prevention of a burglary at Hood’s jewelry store—ai nonymous letter having led to it. Mr. Harrington said he could not think the bur- giars would go there for money, and he HAD FIXED UP SOME PAPERS, eo that the parties could ata giance see what they were. When Ciarvoe came up ail the con- yersation was not gone over, and for a reason. Mr. Clarvoe concurred that the matter should be looked into. Clarvoe was present about half an hour; they went to H.'s about 7 o'clock, and left about §% o'clock. ‘It was arranged’ that Clarvoe should look to the outside while H. ani himself went in. ‘The little room in which they were bad a part of the window in the back rooia on part of one side, so as to give a view of the rear room. Witness did not know that the rear window opened on the porch, as also a door from the room they were in. Did not know that Mr. Evans was in the building at the time | Noone came tothe room and put his head in the door saying that the party whe had come to the door was A MAN LOOKING FOR JOsH. Mr. Harrington, when they had heard p: in the hail, proposed, at witness’ sugge that it would be weil to send word tw Jos not to return to interrupt them, and Mr. Bil Evans was sent, he coming into ‘the little room and getting his coat. They then went out and looked around, going into the alley. Witness followed Mr. Harrington; was in @ measars under Mr. H.’s direction on that vight. Atcer they had taken a walk they inquired about Clarvoe. @. Do you mean that you did not until that after [1 o'clock, look out for your seuti- ay iy Answer.—I want it distinctly understood that HE WAS NOT MY SENTINEL; I did not pian the operations of that wight When they saw the man near the bill-board, they slackened, and he got a good look at aim: they were about ten feet from him. This man went towards the office, striking the pavement a little to the east of the office. "The man was a large man; dark coat, pants, and vest; slouct hat, broad forehead, dark eyes, high check bones: he did not appear slouchy; BIS COAT PITTED WELL. Witness could not say from what direction the two men whom he saw at the corner came; thinks Mr. Tom Shepherd came up about this time and saw the men go in. When the parties raised the window and closed the blinds he had an im- pression that it wasthe servant. Witnese re- collects Williams stating that be an: iarvoe were on the porch; recoliects hearing Mr. H. or Mr. Shepherd say “A MAN HAS GONE IN,” but did not see him enter. Witness suggested that some one shonid be in the rear, and posted Officer Lee there, but afterwards sent bin for assistance, and he brought the detectives; thinks it took 15 or 20 minutes; witness asked Shep herd to inform those in the rear when the men came out; witness did not know bat that the map who went down D street had been arrest- ed, until he returned to headquarters; he was not positive which side of 7th street Banton took; did net see Benton again to be sure it was him until at the corner of th and G streets, when he (B.) made the inquiry as to where was F street; atterwards they lost sight of him again, it was se dark, until they saw him on the steps; witness thinks that Harrington went to were Clarvoe was (on the routh side of F street) twice, but was notsure. The ies had been in the office half or three-fourths of an honr betore the party who came along and shuitied his feet; Ivey came along just sbout THE TIME THE BXPLOSION TOOK PLACE; he was somewhat belligerent; the only reason Ciarvoe was notealled up in’Mr. H's office by witness was that he (witness) did not know that Ciarvoe’s business was the same; he hada reason for not giving Clarvoe all that had passed, but ferred not give it as he might be doing in- j ren to him. Mr. Davidge.—Itdid not pertain to Mr. Har- rington? Witness.—Some people might judge it did; witness acquiesed in the suggestions of Mr. Harrington because he recognized Mr. H. as THE PROSECUTING OFFICER OF THE GOVEAN- MENT, and he stated that he had a chain of evidence which he expected to unravel, and it was for this reason he acted under Mr. H’s directions; thinks be stated this before Congressional committee; be had referred also to “‘a chain of evidenve” bis report to the police commissioners, A recese of baif an hour was then taken.

The next day, (23d,) be- Lote 4 and 5o’clock, Mr. Harrington calied on ™ to OPEN THE SAPE, | which had a combination locx, stating that he was going to put some papers in the sate. Wi nes* put some papers in the safe and a book, and Mr. H. put some papers in the safe; don’t know anything about J. 0. Evans’ books bein, placed in the safe, except fram what Mr. H. admitted before the committee; Mr. H. put a package in the safe about a foot square ard five or six inches thick. Witness locked the safe and went home about 5 o'clock. The examination of the witness was in pro- gtese when our report closed. Aw ECLIVSE THAT WAS NOT PROGNoSTI- caTED.—About 1 o'clock yesterday mornin, during the eclipse of the moon, Mr. James Norcome and some friends, residing in South Washington, were returning home from the city all more or less ecl'psed by stimulants. Norcome was very much so, and his companions had totake him up bedily andcarry him, Oa Maine avenue, between 4% and 6th streets, two men came up and offered to assist them in carrying their man. Their offer was not ac- cepted, but they kept hanging about in close proximity to Norcome, and his brother-in-law, ‘ir. Howard, knowing that Norcome had money ‘on bis person proposed to halt at the corner of 4\ and C streets, where be examined him and found that his coat, pocketbook and money were gone. They suspected these men, and one of the party struck a match and lighted the street- lamp on the corner, so that they could identify the men. Officer Westphal at this time cama up to eee what the matter was, and was told by the party in charge of Mr. Nercome, when he took both into custody, and,on examination, found the coat on one of the party, who gave his wame as Howard, and the other one, named lames Corneli, had the money belonging to Norcome. The pocketbook was seen to drop on the sidewalk when Cornel] had hold of Nor- come, whose ckets were also found tarned inside out. This morning they were taken to Police Court in the black-maria,and after a hearing on the —- of highway robbery, the i thought the chsrge of highway robbery ad not been sustained. The information and papers were amended, making the charge lar- ceny,on which they were both sentenced to jail'six months each. Work oF THE Society FOR THE PREVENTION or CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The recoras of ¢! office of our humane society show that its pr dent, Mr. Gatchel, has made 5 arrests for cruel treatment to dumb animals during the past three months; many of which were for alle, overloading of coal carts; working horses with sore backs and shoulders, and other trivial offenses, wherein nominal fines were imposed. Six glandered horses have been disposed of. J. C. Dosh, of Frederick, Md., was fined #10 before Jnstice Plant for bringing a horse to this city with this disease. Eleven abandoned horses have been killed because of old age, extreme emaciation, and general unfitness for labor. Six of our cow brokers have been arrested and fined for bagging cows. Last week four persons were arrested by Mr.G. for working lams animals to heavily loaded cosl carts; Justice Clark fined them $5 each, and costs. Four Frenchmen, who were exhibiting bears here last week, were taken be- fore Justice Moulton, on 7th street, and upon examination it was found that the ring in the nose of one of the animals had been broken out and snesequently placed through the animal's jaw, which, when arrested, was in a festered and sore condition. Justice Moulton de that the unnatural performances in the stree & by these animals of the forest, through the in- fluence of aring inthe nose, Was wanton cra- elty, and imposed a fine of $5, and ordered the ring to be removed. On Saturday. four other parties with beara were taken before Justice Plant, at a coat to them of $5. The soctety seems to be doing a good work, and the doses of law that have been adminis- tered have had a healthy effect in this city.

He was arraigned in the police court this morning and after a hearing, in which his record was pretty well veutilated to the judge, he was sentenced to six months in jail. The record of Bruce is rather against him. On February, 2ith, 1574, he was arrested by Officer Sullivan for larceny of a shawl, and escaped by cutting out of the station house eell. On the 8th of March succeeding he was pulled by Officers Heffner and Carter for stealing another shawl and committed to jail in default of $10 fine. He has been in custody several times subsequently on suspicion of crime, but as nothing could be proved he had to be dis- charged. a Bayarp Taytor in Tee Lecture Fretp.— This gentieman’s re-appearance in New York inat week, in his lecture on “Ancient Egypt,” after,an ‘absence from the rostrum of many years, was greeted by an immense andience at the Academy of Music, and from the full re- ports of his lecture given in the New York jour- nals, we can assuredly commend itasof great historical interest.

Becoming somewhat boisterous they attracted the attention of O:ti cer Green, and he watched them. Coming out of a saloon and passing along a shaded place on Potomac street below the canal, Kelly was ob- served to be wrestling with Phillips.
