If your other duties, however, will not allow the time required in digesting an entire new plan, with reference to the whole subject, I beg to call attention to the necessity ot the adoption of some measures to rel Washington market. As now con- ducted, it is little better than a nuisance. Within a few years shanties have been erected on almost every foot of round in its immediate vicinity which could be obtain- d for that purpose. ‘The country wagons with farmer's roduce recently largely inci in numbers, have been ven from place to place, until the merchants doing busi- ness in contiguous streets, find their stores inaccessible in Poy ose ‘and the streets are at timos blocked wy) (the ts of ae: ‘which sometimes steals even to Broad way) with wagons, carts, carriages, omnibuses an Ser vehicles. The police’ sre sctlve in doing theis Whole duty in the premises, but the difficulties having origin in the wunt of proper ordinances and regulations, it ls mot in their power to afford more than temporary relief, nes from the merchants, marketmen, countrymen and citizens, are constan'ly coming to th Mayor's office, asking for the removal of these really ae- rious evils. We have but little power over them, and I therefore express the hope that you will take it in hand and adopt such measures with reference to it as may in your judgment be called for. SURETIBS FOR CONTRACTORS, By section 499 of the ordinance passed May 30, 1849, for the making of contracta, it was required that each bid “hall be aecompaniod by the consent, in writing, of two householders or frecholders in the city of New York, to the effect that if the contract be awarded to the per som making the estimate, they will, upon its being so awarded, become bound ‘as his sureties for its faithful performance, and that if he shall omit or refuse to exe- cute the same, they will pay to the corporation any difle- rence between the sums to which he would be entitled upon its completion, and that which the corporation may be obliged to pay to the next t bidder to whom the wontract may be awarded.’” tie provision was intended fo backing out of bidders after having put in jinn and thus prevent collusion between bidders at the ferent prices, as is done by the omission or refusal of low. bidders to execute, leaving to a higher fidder the award of tho contract. ‘The object is good, ind if complied with would have saved to the city hhany hundred thousand dollars. I regret to find, how- aver, that little regard has been paid to it. Bidders have been permitted to omit taking the contracts, without any efforts upon the part of the departments to hold the sure- ties, to the ability which they had assumed. Inareceat case it was ascertained that four persons connected in business had each put in an estimate at different prices for the same work, offering each other as sureties. The award was made to the lowest bidder, one of the four. He did not appear; it was then made to the next lowest, alnniongufthe four, who did not appear; and to the next lowest, alse one of the four and he did not appear; and fin- ally to the fonrth of the party, whodid appear, took the con- tract to do the work at a far higher price than the others had bid. These bidders were equally interested in the work. None of the sureties offered when the estimates were put in, were held according tolaw. ‘This omission appears to be general throughout the departments. It will be seen by the case cited that the omission to hold the aure- ties whose obligations accompany the bids when offered, venders, in effect, the contract system a nu Combi- nations can at all times contro) the prices. The only safety ia in compelling the lowest bidder to execute the contract, and to prosecute the sureties offered in case of omission or refusal. I have no doubt that the diffe- rence between the bids is at once a valid obligation upon the sureties, and that the Comptroller will be justi- fied in withholding from moneys due a er upon an claim he may have against the Corporation the full amount of such difference. If this ‘e so, may @not be worth while to ascertain who, ifany of the contractors doing work to be paid for by the city may not have here- tofore been surety for dirclict bidders, and whether a de- mand should now be made and thus collected for any loss by bis non-compliance. ‘To render this section of the ordinance referred to yet more effectual, I would recommend that it be amended by making it obligatory upon bidders to furnish sureties who will qualify as to’ their responsibility at the time of putting in the estimates. Nothing in this communication is intended as a reflec- tion upon the legislative branch of the city government, with whom I am really desirous of acting in harmony and without conflict. If the language appears strong, it re- sults from the deep concern felt by the head of the execu- tive branch of the public service, in view of his own sibilities, and consciousness that the people will hold him accountable for much that is wrong in our Cor- poration affairs, but which is beyond his power to im- rove, without your authority or action in advance. The fayor, without asking that his own powers shall be in- creased, limited as they now are, docs ask that your body will take immediate measures to remove the thousand evils and errors now so palpable in the goverument, or place the power todo so, wherever in your judg- ment it will 4 safest and most prudently exerci .

TO THE KDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. In your editorial comments under the above caption, in your last Saturday’s issue, you place me in a wrong posi tion, and thereby do me great injustice. You remark— ‘That to substantiate the charge against Mr. Furey, only two witnesses could be found, viz.. Alderman Herrick and Mr. §, PD. Moulton. The last named gentleman was sup- pored to be well informed on the subject, because he kept Mr. Fohey’s accounts, and knew all his affairs, All he knew was that he heard Mr. Fohey cay he had paid five hundred dollars to get the plan of his wall accepted. If the money was paid, why could not the accountant say to what it was charged, and when, and to whom paid.’ Sure enough, why not? because, first, at the period of which you speak I had nothing to do with Mr. Fohey’s accounts, and knew nothing of the wall transaction, which fact was co stated to the committee; and, secondly, I never was Mr. Fohey's accountant in that sense of the term implied by your remarks. Let mo explain. T have known Mr. Fohey as a neighbor and as an honest, hardworking, industrious man, for the last seven- teen or eighteen years—for the first eight or nine years supporting his family by day labor. . In his dealing with us, we found him scrupulously fair and corre @ eight or nine years since, he secured toe aid of friends » contract to regulate and grade Fifty-third street, from Third avenue to the East river, and continued until recently in that line of busi- n@s, Mr. Fohey labored under many disadvantages, among others, the want of an education. To over- come this and other difficulties, the undersigned gave him his assistance and services, and Mr. F. prose- cuted his business successfully, and, to my know- ledge, on the square, and to his entire satisfaction down to the spring or summer of 1864. About this period a political difference occurred between us, arising mainly from the location of Reynolds’ Offal Depot,’’ in our section of the Nineteenth ward, which rence caused him to withdraw, to a certain extent, his confidence and the supervision of his financial affairs, and to place the latter in the hands of a member of his family, who had become qualified to take charge of them. In 1851 or 1852, Mr. Fohey obtained the contract to regulate and grade, set the curb and gutter, and lay flag- stone in Fifty-first street, from Third avenue to the Fast river. The specification contained a clause requiring himto erect a parapet wall at the foot, of said street, such as the Street Commissioner might direct, the cost of which was to be included in the assessment for regu- Inting the street. ‘The whole to be completed within a given time. So much from my own knowledge. ‘The reason of 1864 found the work sufficiently far ad- vanced to justify Mr. F. in the belief that the whole work could be completed by early fall, if furnished with a plan of said parapet wall. He accordingly applied for it, but could not or did not secure it in season to com- plete the work as contemplated, oF until the spring of 855. Some time in June, or the fore part of July of the pre- sent season, after the confirmation of the assessment for said street and wall, and the receipt of the moneys due him for said work, Mr. Fohey informed me, for the first time, that he had been obliged to pay Mr. James Furey, or some person in his interest, (his wife, I think it was,) five hundred dollars, before he, Mr. Furey, would consent to furnish him with a plan of said parapet wall; and ex- hibited to me at the same time a letter intended for Mr. Furey, the purport of which was that unless he, Mr. Furey, returned to Mr. Fohey, on or before 5 o'clock the next day, the $500 wrongfully taken from him, for furnishing the plan of the said wall, together with the interest on something like twenty thousand dollars for eight months, caused by the delay in withholding the same, he, Fohey, would proceed forthwith to lay the whole subject before either the Grand Jury or Common Council, Iam not cer- tain which. A day or two subsequent to this interview, Mr. Fohey informed me that Mr. Street Commis: sioner Furey had done him the justice to disgorge to the tune of one thousand five hundred dollars, or words to that effect, amd was about to ‘fur- nish me with the evidence of the whole transaction, ut Gnally changed his tind, and the mext day left with his family for Michigan, Here let me remark, from my knowledge ofthe man, and many of the circumstances connected with the case, I have no more reason to doubt the truth of his statement as above, than T have that I have written the three last lines, and yet it is nothing but hearsay evidence, Thave said and written too much ogainst this sort of rascality, and suffered too long and severely as a tax and assensment payer from the plundering rapacity of these department officials, and see too plainly the inevitable ruinous consequences to be entailed upon the “rural portions of our city, if not the city itself, by a continu- ance of the present management of elty affairs, and more particularly the departments thereof, to undertake at this lateday, to aid or assist, as intimated in your re- marks of Saturday last, in screening them, or any of them, from any punishment justly merited, recent or re- mote. The great difficulty, nay, impossibility of reaching thete ayes and delinquents through the ordinary chanuelsof law. a applieableto the heads of departments, seems to demonstrate clearly the necessity of an imme- diate return to the old system, and vest in the Mayor and Commen Couneil the appointing power, so far, at least, as regards the heads of the several departments, that ‘they may be reached at once, and decapitated if ne- cessary. Will you please have the kindness to publfsh this let ter, or at least, so much of it as will set me right in the maiter, and oblige, very respectfully, 8. D. MOULTON, Corner of Third avenue and Forty-ninth street. New York, July 27, 1855, 7 S.—I aim informed that the gentlemen who nego- tinted the final settlement between Mr. Furey and Fohey, may be found in the “Custom House,” surrounded by the sweets of a good fat office. 8D.

By order, 8. b. DAVIS, Chairman C. C, At eight o'clock there was a respectable attendance of men present. Mr. Davis was called to the char. Mr. Foerach addressed the meeting forcibly in German, ex- plaining to his countrymen the objects of the assemblage. ris said that they bad prepared a ward and icket for the next campaign, which would be pre- sented at another time, when their enemies as well ag their friends would be invited to be present and examine it. Men would be named for office on whom all. good de- mocrats could rally. ‘The radical fintereat would be unit- ted to oppose a secret and hidden order, which endeavored to strike at the very foundation of’ our institutions, (Applanre.) The great democratic party was now di- vided, but the workingmen would unite, and by 80 doing, they would inevitably overthrow the Know Nothing party. Foul means had been taken to divide them, but they would not succeed. Mir. Barty then addressed the meeting, and submitted a preamble and series of resolutions, which embodied the platform of the Central Democratic Committee. ‘The resolutions were ably advocated by Mr. Bartxy, and adopted with very great enthuxiesm. A clause for the protection of the working men against fraudulent em- ployers, met with especial favor, as did others ofan ani Know Nothing tendency. The present syatem of letting public works by contract was denounced, and on the whole the platform is a solid and substantial one. A Grymimwas said he would advocate an extension of the resolutions on some points, viz.: representation; pro- tection of Inborers in their wages; the care of the public health, by an examination of food sold in the public markets, and the public school system. The platform was then read in the German language and adopted. After transacting some other business, the meeting ad- Journed. REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

In your paper of last Tuesday I find my ‘name used without my privity or consent, as a candidate of the “American Democracy” for the Aldermanship of the Sixteenth ward, 1 beg to say to the gentlemen who no- minated me, that while I recognise in their platform principles which I have long contended for, yet I must de- cline all participation in political contests, and that I will not accept any nomination.

Police Intelligence. ARRESTS FOR DRONKENNESS.—The total number of arrests made yesterday for intoxication was thirty-five, of which number thirty were mulcted in the penalty of $10. Three of them were old offenders. They were as fol- lows:— At the Tomba, before Justice Connolly... At Jefferson siarket, before Justice Davison. At Essex Market, before Justice Wood.... Fetoniovs Assavit.—Francis Scice, keeper of a board- ing house at No. 66 Beekman street, got into a difficulty yesterday afternoon, with a man named Joseph Schmen- bach, and was struck by him upon the head with a bot- tle and rously stabbed in the head with a knife. ‘The accused was arrested and locked up by Justice Con- nolly, in default of $5,000 bail, to await’ examination. ‘The wounded man was’ brought into court to give testi- mony in the matter, but fainted while there, and was obliged to be conveyed to his residence. A®REST OF AN IMPosTER.—A youngman called yesterday at the store of Mr. Pike, 294 Broadway, on a begging ex- pedition, and by signs intimated that he was deaf and dumb, and presented a paper which represented his name to be Jonn Sanders, and that he was from asy- lum at Columbus, Obio, and a deaf mute, and greatly in want. While one of the clerks was reading the paper, Sanders pocketed a pair of spectacles and made off with them, but was overtaken and arrested. He was taken before Justice Welsh, when, strange to say, his hearing @nd speech returned. The magistrate, not appearing to be much astonished at the miracle, locked him up. He has for some days been practicing his games in the city. CHARGE OF LARCESY—RxcEIVING STOLEN Goops.—Joln Flaherty, a stevedore, and Jas, Buras, mate of the brig Cunningham, were yesterday arrested by policeman Far- ley, of the reserve corps, charged with being concerned in stealing from the vessel above named, five barrels and three boxes of sugar, valued at $125, The sugar was consigned to Moller & Ryer, of No. 26 South street, and was traced to the possession of David Drady, junk dealer, at No, 15 James slip, who, with Dennis M’Kinney, his clerk, was arrested as a receiver of stolen goods, and all hands were taken before Justice Welsh, and heid to await examination. DisrernaSce iy a Lager Birr £A100N.--A row occurred at 11o’clock on Sunday night, in the lager bier saloon, corner of avenue A and Houston street, in which Valen- tine Ponner, the proprietor, was dangerously stabbed in the head and left side by a knife in the hands of Theo.

Before Hon. Judge Birdsall. ACTION FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT. . D.—Grorge W. Cook ve, George W. Norris, —This was an action for falae imprisonment, brought to recover damages against the defendant, who is a captain of police ofthe Tenth ward. The brother-in-law of the plaintiff struck @ German on Sunday evening, June Ist, for an al- leged insult to his sister. Officer King made the. arrest of Mr. Horton. ‘The plaintiff followed the parties to the station house, and on their arrival there officer King made a complaint against Cook and B, F. Horton for disorderly conduct, and interfering with him’ in the dis- charge of his duty; and on this complaint Captain Norris held the parties and sent them before Justice Wood, who next day held them to bail for their good behavior. Mr. McGregor opened the case for the plaintiif, and ex-Judge Fhillips moved for a non-suit on the opéniog, onthe ground that the facts stated by the plaintif’s counsel showed not only probable cause for the imprison- ment ofthe plaintiff, but also a full justification. The court refused to non-suit. The plaintiff then proved the imprisonment as above, as substantially etated, The ccunsel for the defendant then renewed the motion for non-suit, which the court granted, on the ground that as the plaintiff had been held by the magistrate after hearing the mets, that was evidence of probable cause, but stated that if the plaintiff had been discharged he should have held the defendant. liable as not being au- thorized to detain the plaintiff without a warrant. Judges McCarthy and Thompson sat in the other branches. Judge ‘Thompson looks quite recovered after his recent indisposition, and with the three Justices, a great amount of business will now be disposed of in this court. ‘The trial terms of the Supreme Court and Common Pleas will not commence until the second Monday of this month. Proposed Consolication of the ‘Telegraph Lines. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. In an ar“icle with the above headfng, in your issue of the 24th inst., it is stated that a great company propose to consolidate the principal lines of tele- graph in the United States. This, of course, is to be accomplished either by purchase or lease. It is not my purpose to inquire what the advantages or dis- advantages to themselves or to the public would be by this monopoly, but to suggest that this “great y”’ is the one to develope the capacity of the telegraph to the wants and requirements of this wide- spread country. Most of people suppose that the lines, as now con- structed, are capable of transmitting a eee to any part of the country to which the telegraph ex- tends, but in consequence of the different lines being managed by different companies, and there not bein, Pateaity o feeling i nara sufficient 4 tt to allow them to connect and work in one circuit, they com- 1 all messages to be re-written upon their respect- ve lines. is not the case. Iam not aware of a direct circuit having been worked over seven or eight hundred miles, and that only for a short time, and under very favorable circumstances. Before the telegraph will answer the fall gee of this country, and prove remunerative to the stock holders, an entire revolution must take place in the construction of lines. Heretofore, with one or two partial exceptions, but little attention has been paid the building of lines by the interested par- ties, All the lines in this country have been built under contract, by parties who possess- ed but little if any oe knowledge of the art, and_ they being much of gentlemen to oversee the detail of the work themselves, have en- trusted it to Irishmen, who could dig a hole and lift a pole, with instractions to get through the country the Logg gincr way, without the least reference to the working of the line, and on its comple- tion, if they can succeed in getting a message through, it’ is pronounced perfect, and accepted, and passed over to the company. It is just as important that a telegraph line should be laid out and located, and the materials designated according to the length and peculiar circumstances of the circuit by an engineer as it is for a railroad. That it is as pi cable to work from New York to New Os one Cait ates Lh! < repeaters, as ly, a8 promptly, an uniform! asthe best of lines now work between New York and Philadelphia, I have not the least doubt, and this great company is the one to adopt and carry out such im} its in the manner of building tele- ph lines a6 will ensure this great end whether fer succeed in consolidating the present lines or not. It is, perhaps, somewhat presuming to say that that hub connpe y is the ‘Newfoundland "Telegraph x ey certainly shonld look to this mat- ter in ‘ll its bearings. If succeed in connect- gra] cable, by all ‘means e and adopt sach measures as shall ensure the most_speedy reliable trai all busi- nese from the ‘side, There is a greater in the distance to our int , from the end of the’cable than to England, and no doubt we ehall be held to promptitude with them in the despatch , and for distances, the necessity of a line from St. worked, reliably, in their re- spective circuits and under favorable circumstances cirenit, dropping copy, when necessary, at New York.

At the time his first letter wae published, there was but one letter ‘on official business!” for the Com- modore of the squadron, in tbe Brazil station box, which was forwarded according to the uanges of the Lyceum, on the first opportunity. This time there is nothing. ‘The Commodore and one of the Lieutenants are the only officers attached to the Savannah who are raembers of the Lyceum; and since the 8th September 1853, ten bags of letters and papers have been forwarded to her. ‘That you may be able to discriminate who has aud who has not eause to complain, if cause exists, 1 herewith forward you a copy of the constitution and by-laws of the United States Naval Lyceum, with a list of members.
