It \s certain that at no time since the first interference of political propagandists has Kansas enjoye1 so much general tranquillity as at present. With the transfer of the Lecompton constitution to Congress the mischief makers pause. They are evidently learning that opposi- tion to the general government, or the Territorial either, ig @ very unsuccessful species of moral treason, and, after all, a poisoned shirt to its possessor. They don’t under- stand Denver; they cannot fathom him or find out his weak points, if he bas any. He will not aMiliste with them in any shape or manner. His quiet, determined ‘way insures both fear and respect. Hence, independent of the satiety that unnecessary turmoil must bring, ultra partizans begin to perceive that any successful opposition to such concentrated power is like whistling down the wind. I crave the favor here of saying a word in defence of ‘the troops in Kaneas. The curses and reproaches of Lane’s predatory Danites, or the shallow criticisms of the Tribune, pass for absolutely nothing; but it is not so plea. sant when responsible sources join in condemuation. I say emphatically, had it not been for the strong arm of the troops, this Territory would have witnessed scenes of horror and desolation that would have disgraced our free institutions before a civilized world. I have not the least doubt in my mind of it, And I have no doubt, also, that thoge who indulge most in these jeremiads would, if the troops had not come, and theee extremities happened as they surely would have happened, been loudest in denunciation of the President for not sending such pro. tection. How political expediency will warp common honesty and common sense. Least of all, ought the re- publican adherents complain; for on several occasions the Missouri citizens have been 20 exasperated that bad it not been for the strong arm of the general government they would have swept Kansas from one to the other. The troops never desired this duty, nor do! now, but if there is any fault to find, let it fall in the right place. Put it on the passions of mankind, fanaticiam, sec- Uonalism, nigger and anti nigger, and a weak point or two in afree government. Idefy asolitary stain on the record of the troope in Kaneas during all these troublous times; and it is a little singular, to say the least, that men high in power should fire at for directly opposite reasons. As regards the necessity for them if the Lecompton consti- tution passes,I shall ray nothing, except that Senator Davis seems to possess some ideas beyond his peers. 1 had intended in this letter to give ~ ananalytical de- scription of the Territory fcr those it may concern, but the track is a. well beaten. The fertility, topo- grapby and cll are unsu |. The rich, dark soil, extending down an average of twelve feet, speaks for itself, while the climate has an index in the rich plumage of the parroquet glittering in the sun. The fight over slavery is @ mere abstraction—a contest of passions, not of substance. I have no feeling in common'with the Puri- tan fever that rune into fits over slavery South, or where- ver it can be made most profitable to the human race—for I believe it one of the most beneficent sys- tems ever established—but in Kansas it is utterly iuppracticable, for the ——- bie of being cut up into small —— farms.

My letter of the 4th inst. developed the plan of certain free State men to take and destroy Fort Scott. A later letter informed you that the free State rufflan, G. W. Montgomery, notorious for breaking up the ballot boxes at Sugar Mound on the 4th ult., had entered Fort Scott, at the bead of two hundred men, and driven out a largo ‘umber of pro-slavery men, or rather that the pro slavery men fled at the approach of the prosiavery gang. Oneof the pro slavery party came north, and called upon the go- vernment to send down a body of United States troops, to defend the lives and property of the citizens of Fort Scott. ‘The other pro-sla’ men fled to Missouri, and called upon their friends advance to their defence at Fort Seott.

MILLAR. Wyanporr Crry, K. T., Feb. 22, 1858. ©The Lottery Policy Dealers. EXAMINATION OF ANDREWS AND DICKENSON BEFORE RECORDER BARNARD. ‘The examination in the policy cases was resumed yes- terday before Recorder Barnard, the room being crowded by parties interested in the proceedings. Thomas Van Buren, Fsq., appeared for the prosecution, when the cage of John T. Baldwin, charged with publish- ing and printing the slips, tickets and circulars, for Swan & Co.'s Sparta Academy Lottery, Augusta, Georgia, wag taken up on a motion of Mr- Smith, who moved the dismissal of the defendant on the ground that it was perfectly lawful to print the slips and tickets so long as the party was in no way connected in ven them. Baidwin, he remarked, is charged in the affidavit of Ser- geant Berney, who made the arrest, as in the act of print- ing slips when taken into custody. This he did not intend to deny; yet it was only = @ conclusion by jaw, but was not sufficient to Ingthe case with- in the statute of the law. The only section upon which the defendant could be held, was not by printing or publishing the slips, but by vending them. The slip, he alao contended, does not show-where it ig to be drawn; it gives no account of the lottery, only giving a list of the prizes that have been drawn. The lottery, therefore, must in all cases, tell the prizes to be drawn. Mr. Van Buren said, that in justice to the prosecution, he would like the case deferred over, as he was not fully acquainted with the facts as to warrant a satisfactory . formance on his part, until he had looked more fully into the law ‘ding the vending of policies; he would, therefore, like to have it delayed until Tuesday. Recorder Barnard said he would have no objections to have the examination adjourned over, but he could not take it up again under ten days or two weeks. ‘Mr. Smith objected to its being put off. He had devoted several days, each time it being laid over, and he hoped the case would be proceeded with. Mr. Van Buren consented to go on if the case could not be taken 4 under two weeke. . Mr. Smith then fcontinued, claiming that it was not an {l- legal lottery. The Sparta. Academy lotery Ie, rooognized asa Jegal lottery in the State whero it is published. If Samuel Swan & Co., managers of the lot- Acadet tery, should send three columus of advertisements to newspapers in this city, the publication of the same would be perfectly legal. But should the parties take action in advancing the vending of these tickets, then they could be held responsible for aiding or abetting any lottery in the State. The substance of these slips, tickets or circulars, is simply, he continued, giving an account of what bas ina lottery in Au- {ithe tickets printed here, but it toey attempt to nogo- r tickets ere, Du y nego- tiate the sale of them they then violate the law. Mr. Van Buren — that under the statute it could not be shown that ting of lottery tickets and slips ‘was facilitating the sale ot them. It would also be aiding the parties in violating the laws. Recorder Barnard overruled the points presented by Mr. Smith, remarking that he was determined to give this matter a fair test in justice to the public, and in all cases of this kind violating the laws he should make it his spe- cial business to put itdown. In this case, however, he said it was only @ misdemeanor, which is subject to a fing of $160 or three months? confinement in the city prison, He, therefore, would fix the bail of the defendant in the amount of the tine, which was ooly for his appearance at court. Bo pees a then —_ be Mad Mr. ‘an Buren again pressed his motion to adjourn the case, nothing regarding the , “and was in- structed by the Assistant Istrict Attorney that it was an it Case; he therefore hoped # day or two would be granted him, Mr. Smith said he would copsent to an adjournment provided he could ask the witness Leech a few questions. Mr. Van Buren raid be would have no objections. Mr. James Leech was then upon the stand, when the Recorder, by request of the coungel for the defendant, instructed him that he was at liberty to answer or not any questions put to bim, which might tend in any way to criminate him or degrade him in the eyes of bis friends. Mr. Van Buren contended that as the witness was for the people he was in duty bound to answer all questions. Recorder Barnard he atways witnesses to answer or not in such cases, and therefore would per- mit the witness to answer or not.

Colonel Dimick, of the Second artillery, stationed at Fort Hamilton, with several other officers, paid their re- spects to the Admiral, and announced to him, through the interpreter, that at the euggestion of the Secretary of War they had come to invite him to inspect the military works at Fort Hamilton, taking occasion at the same time to ex- pregs his individual esteem. ‘The Rear Admiral, in reply, said bo should bo happy to svail himself of the invitation. He was anxious to re- ciprocate the kindness and good feelin: which had been extended ‘o him, snd which he knew weuld be recipro- cated by his countrymen. Ho know that his countrymen entertained feelings of kindness towards this country, and ‘was empowered to express them officially, as well as tho hope that they would always continue. These ceremonies being concluded, it was determined to proceed to the City Hall andsee the Mayor, as had been previously agreed upon. It being generally known through the announcements of the morning papers that the Turkish visiters would visit the City Hall come time in the morning, a crowd of curious citizens began to collect as carly as ten o’clock. Every carriage that drove up was eagerly scrutinized, and the utmost chagrin was manifested at the repeated disappointments. It was arranged that Mayor TNemann should reosive the guests in the Governor’s room, and of course there was great anxiety to obtain admittance. A large police force was in attendance, both inside and outside the hall to preserve order, which task was by no means an easy one, as before the lions arrived there were several thousand persons present. The Governor’s room was cold, as usual, and many wished that the single grate fire which was built therein had been greater. It was said, however, that the Turk would not stay long, and there was no need of wasting coal. The officers stationed at the door were of course beseiged by applicants for admission, each hay- ing some peculiar privilege entitling him to entrance, There were the usual number of pretended reporters, most of whom found great difficulty in remembering what papers they roprosented, and upon making a choice, found that they had been already forestatled. One genius said that he “criticised occasion. ally,’ and another was “sent specially by Mr. Bennett.”’ Generally, however, some genuine representative of the press was called upon to identify the bogus applicants, who were glad enough to get off witha simple refusal of admission or ejectment after they had already got in. Eleven o’clock passed, the hour assigned for the arrival of the guests, and still they came not. Mayor Tiemann and a few friends staid shivering in the room, hugging the fire, and wondering what kept them. Mr. Thomas Hyer amused himself lifting the heavy weights and looking at the pictures, while everybody wished that there had been a little more fire, and that the ‘Turks would hurry up. Occasionally the crowd outside would hallow in derision of the few unfortunate Metropo- litans who were detailed to preserve an unbroken passago from the carriageway to the Hall steps, as some adven turous boys would break the line, bringing those in the Governor’s room to the windows, with the ex- pectation that the Turks had at lengtharrived. But balf-past eleven and twelve o’clock passed, and atill the Mayor and the citizens waited until it seemed as if the committee were going to wait until the enow feil in sufficient quantities to bring the visiters in sleighs. At length, however, the carriages drove up, and amid the driving snow, the cheering and pushing of the erowd anxious to obtain a view of the lions, and accompanied by ‘the committee, with several naval officers, the guests made their way to the Governor's room. After allowing them time to disrobe themselves of their cloaks, they were escorted to the Mayor, who, leaning against Wash ington’s writing desk, proceeded to welcome them. Mayor Tiemann said he was happy to welcome the visiters to the city. They would find it, he said, a very plain city; but they would be afforded opportunities to witness our 5 "of education, our machine shops and ship building, and he our various tnetitutions: on Biackwell’s Island. He welcomed them to the coui as well as to the city, and hoped their visit would be it. 1y and pleasan' ‘Admiral Mohammed Pacha then replied briefly through Mr. Oscanyon, the interpreter, that he was ‘cordial welcome, and would avail ticular place which they desired to visithe be to forward their wishes. ¢ Rear Admiral Mohammed Pacha replied that both the government and people of Turkey were anxious to cultivate friendly relations with the people of the United States, and had vested him with authority to ex off. cially that feeling. For himeelf, he was particularly anx- jous that a reciprocity of sentiment should exist betwoon the peoples and the governmenta. ‘The Mayor ‘and guests then cordially shook hands, aftor which the latter were escorted through the picture gal- leries of the Governor's room, with which they manifest- ¢d the most earnest sat An enterprising gsntle- man was on hand to take the daguerreoty pes of the Admi- ral, which was effected while waiting for collation. THE COLLATION. ton, had provided for some of friends a small collation on the of the new Council chamber, and as the had made no appropriation for defray ing the expenses of a reception it was determined to give the guests a taste of this collation.

A committee, consi ot ira. Van Tine, Webb, Bunce, Boole, Hunn aud Mulligan, was appointed to ceed to the Governor's room to escort the rossts, in which was asomewhat difficult task. The rumor that a free June was to be had in the Councilmen’s room had spread rapifly, and the room was crowded with citizens unin. vited, apxious to nee Shas wee going on and to partake of the collation, if possible. Bat to make the tew cakes and sandwiches suffice for the whole would require a miraclo ‘equal to that of the five loaves and two flahes, and #9 only the favored ones were admitted inside the railing. Among these was quite a number of indies, friew nd relatives of the members, whose curiosity to eee the Turks ha! let thet to brave the strernness of the Jay. The committee, after much hard pushing, dinx|ly suc ceeded in forcing ® passage for themselves and gues: the latter were escorted to the Pres Coats goat, and were welcomed by Mayor Somann ac‘ Mr. J.

Mobammed Pec ha and his suite then stepped down '> & convenient spot where they could be seen by all, aot fuch aa chose, passed by end shook the Pacha cordially by tho hand. The Pacha was dressed inthe uniform of the Torkiah navy, consisting of the red cap, blue frock coat and loose pataloons, riebly embroidered with gold On hia breast be wore three medals—emblems of his rank req) til the ladies and guests were helped. his suite were then seated mbar the table and provided for, the crowd looking on and they did not crosa their logs on their their meerechaume, ‘wonder! rd and They, however, did no # Dut seemed to eatand drink much as most of us are ac- Customed to do, It being ap arent that the guests had been provided for, the Councilmen and their friends crowded arcund the small table and quickly disposed of the remaincer to their own satis‘action and the by no moans expressed disgust of Mr. Vin Tine, who insisted that he dia not provide the collation fer them alone, but also for ‘the ladies. His protestations, however, availed but little, and the edibles and drinksblee dixappeared with fasility.

About 13g o’clock the Pacha and his suite took leave of the company, and were escorted to their carriages by the committee, The crowd outside had by no means dimin ished, either in numbers or curiosity, and eagerly pressed forward to see the Turks. Cries of ‘Which is he?” “Where’s the Turk?’ ‘That him with the red cap,” “Where’s his wives?’ ‘‘ Wonder whether he’s got million dollars in his pocket,” and similar exclamations peculiarly democratic saluted their ears, while most every one ja the crowd mistook Mr. fon for the Pacha be cause he wore @ red and walked firat in the procession with Alderman Boole, m the City Hall they drove to get their daguerreoty pes taken, and decided to attend the Opera in the evenip; City Intelligence. AxorueR Great Sow Sroxm.—This has, so far, been a year of surprise as regards the weather; when we ehould have had winter, with its snows and fierce storms, autum- nal weather prevailed and October was substituted for January,and now, when spring is due and we could rea- sonably hope for some evidence of returning vegetation, a violent spell of winter weather sets in, with all its unplea- sant accompaniments of cold snaps and snow storms which would do infinite credit to Janvary itself. The cold weather of the last few days culminated yesterday ina violent snow storm, which raged with great fury from noon to midnight, when the: jas some four inches of 1, but was much nigher This storm seemed to take every- although the ground was in excel- as but little sleighing. In fact the enow was looked upon as an immense nuisance in impeding travel, injuring trade and making the streets intolerably dirty when there was a fair prospect of their being soon clean. By three o in the afternoon the etreeta were filed with snow, and the city railroad tracks so much choked up that double teams were put on, and the number of cars decreased, tothe great annoyance of the crowds who wishea to patronize them. Eight horses were re- quired to drag the Hudson River cars from Chambers street to the depot at Thirty-second atreet, and most of the railroad trains arrived tm the city behind time. It isa somewhat dubious matter to indulge in any prognostica- tions concerning the weather, but it seems probable that this snew storm will put an end to the very cold weather and we may Foon expect a touch of an old fashionea-spring, and as it is not likely that the snow will last over a day or two, sleigh riders had better make the most of their time. So go it, ye young folks. Commoporrk Perry.—The members of the Montezuma Society in this city held a special meeting at the Everett House on the 6th inst. Capt. Henry Eagle, U. 8. N., pre- sided; Capt. M. Lovell, Secretary of Society. Tho follow- ing preamble and resolutions were duly reported and unanimously adopted: — Whereas we have heard with profound regret of the death of Commodore Mathew C. Perry, United States Navy, late President of this society ; be it, therefore, Resolved, That by'his death thy navy of the United States not only loses one of its brightest ornaments, but the country at large is deprived of the services of an officer who in peace contributed largely to its reputation ano influence, and in war to its honor and power. Toat as members cf the society over which he presided with such kindly courtesy and social urbanity, we deeply lament the loss of one whose standing and ability as an oer placed him high on the list of the honored defend- ers of hie country, and whose many noble and generous qvalities as a gentleman endeared him to all those who, like ourselves, enjoyed the pleasure of his parsona! inter: course. ‘That we respectfully tender to the family of the de- ceased our deep sympathy in their bereavement, with the assurance that they are not alone in their sorrow; the memory of Commodore Perry is enshrined in the hearts of a legion of warm friends, who respected him as an officer and loved him as a man. Tusu Socreties.—Sr. Parrick’s Day.—The rival conven- tions of Irish societies who propose to celebrate St. Pa- trick’s Day have not as yet come to an understanding, and itis more than likely that there will be none, and that there will be two smal! celebrations instead of one large one. The organization which convenes at Tammany Hall met last night, James Keelan in the chair and Thomas Kivien Secretary. After some debate, Thomas Kiernan, of the a ey Union Protective Society, was chosen Grand Marshal st the pressosion, with power to his own aids, Messrs, McBride, Tracy and McKent appointed a committee to confer with the military as tothe route of the procession. It was stated by the man that every means had been used to induce the Prince street organisation to compromige, so as to have only one J] their efforts had been unavailing. They were still, ho er, ready to agree upon anyires ronable compromise. The following are the names of the societies mterested in the Tammany organization, viz. : ‘The Ancient Sens of St. Patrick; the Aucient Order of Hi- Union Protective Society; the 5 volent Society; the Flushing ¥ mevolent Society; the Ancient Order of Hiher- nians Universal; the Hibernian Nations! Greens; the Biue Greens; the Friendly Sens of Erin; the [rish National Gre- vadiers; the Farreil Guards. The Convention adjourned to meet’ again this week, when {t is hoped that the other organization will come to terms. Tax New Rooms ror nim ScreRvisors asp Cocnciues.— The old chamber of the Board of Councilmen has beer made into two apartments, for the accommodation of the Supervisors and the new Board of Councilmen, which is numerically & much emalier body than the Board of !ast year. The room for the Counciimen was in readinees for occupancy yesterday, but that for the Supervisors will not be ready betora next week. The work was com- menced at the beginning of the year, and had it not been a Corporation job, it would have been finished in a month at fvrtheet, but city contractors take their time and make up the difference in their bid, The roome will look very neat and tasteful, and will be worthy of theecity.

Brevoort had an interview with Coroner Hills, who decided to take the case in hand and proceed to Voughkeepsie im- mediately, and with the assistance of Coroner Taylor ha the body exhumed and examined. Thie will, no doubt, be done on Wednesday. AsoTare Frey To Staves Istawp.—The Committee on Ferries of the Board of Aldermen met yesterday, in rela- tion to the petition of several parties residing on Staten Island, who desire a slip in thie city where they mignt land thelr boats incase they run a ferry line from here to Staten Island. Mr. Townsend appeared before the committee and said that the Staten ielanders wish to run a boat from Clifton, which is 600 feet below Vanderbilt's landing, to some part of New York. He built the dock which je there himself, and it cost bir $40,000. ject in rupping the ferry was not to make money out of it but to accommodate the people resiJing ov Statea Island. Alderman Adams said that the best way the committee could m: in the cage was to put up the temporary slip to which the New Brighton boais land at auction, Mr. Townsend would then have an op basing the slip for any wae satiefled to have th if they got the slip h Staten Island, The committee then ad) surned. rn Conseny.—It was rumored yerterday about the City Hall that Coroner Connery bad been brought before Mayor Niemann on a charge of neglect of duty, on com- plaint of certain parties living at No. 69 Saffolk street, Yr.

The result of Mr. Connery 's interview with the Mayor baa not been made public.

Huguenots.” His just twenty-two years ago last night since Meyer- beer produced “Les Huguenots” at the Grand Opera, Paris. It is to be hoped, for the sake of the manager that there was not such a terrible snow storm ov tho firet night of the opera as that which raged about Irving Place Jast evening. It was the worst night of the year, yet the house was well filed. The scene about the Academy was unique, the streets adjacent being jammed with carriages, and the darkness of the night made bril- lant with torches, The occasion was rendered still more interesting by the Visit to the Academy of his Excellency Mohammed Pasha, Rear Admiral of the Turkish Navy. His Excel- lency arrived at the end of the first act, attended by the oflicers of his suite, with the interpreter to the Committee of the Common Council, Mr. Oscanyan, and accompanied by the Mayor of the city, Mr. Tiemann, Aldermen Boole and Bradley, Councilman Van Tine, the Ottoman Consul at this port, Mr. J. Horsford Smith, & , &c. Mr. City Judge Russell and other distinguished off- cials visited the Rear Admiral’s box, and he was greeted with several demonstrations of applause during the evening. The Admiral divided with the opera the attention of the audience, so that there was no particular furore until the beginning of the third act. The distribution was as fol- lowe :— Valentine, daughter of Count St. Bris. Mad. De La Grange. Urbana, Page of Marguerite...............Mad. D’Angri. Marguerita De Valois, wife of Henry iV..Mad.

Formes. at the Astor Place Opera House, in i850, by the Havana troupe, under the management of Marty, when Salvi, Ma- Tini, Steffenone and Bosio sang the principal parts. It wag then only sang twice. At present we can only give @ mere mention of last night’s representation, the perform- ance being & most elaborate and extended one, quite worthy of the Grand Opera at Paris. We speak from ex- perience whem we say that in the general excellence of the ensemble, and the beauty and complete. ness of the mite en scene, the representation here would be quite worty of L’Academie, ‘The seenery, costumes and general stago arrangements were gotten up on the most liberal scale, far more expen- sively than ever before in this city. The opening scene and the pré qua clercs in the third act were especially five. We gave in yesterday's Hrnitp a résumé of the plot of this grand lyric drama, and must content ourselves to- day by saying that in every respect it was admirably ex- pressed by the artists. We may say, however, that the vocal honors belong 10 Mme, de la Grange and Mr. Formes, for the duet in the third act, which was eo admirably rendered as to arouse the audience into a pitch of enthusiasm rarely witnessed here. Marcel is one of Mr. Formes’ greatest parts, and quite justified the previous accounts of his fine acting aad singing in the réle. The performance throughout was an admirable one in every respect, Our opera goers have never had anything equal to it, and it Is to be hoped that the efforts of the manager will be properly appreciated. He should be handsomely recompensed for the immense outlay which he bas made in putting this great work before the public. It could not have been done so well anywhere else, except in Paris or Tondon, and no better in eithes of thore cities The “Huguenots” will be repeated on Wednesday and Friday evenings. The Difficulty of the Two Street Commis- stoners, MAYOR TIEMANN DELIVERS UP THE KEYS TO MR. CONOVER. No further demonstration was made in the Street Com- missioner’s Department, everything passing off quietly» the place being well guarded by the Mayor’s squad, under Sergeant Croft, until yesterday morning. During Sunday afternoon the Mayor was informed that an attempt would be mace by a posse of Deputy Sheriffs to take possession of the Street Commissioner’s Department on Monday morn- ing. Think! there be some truth in the report, Mr, Tiemann ed Sergeant to the reexience of Sheriff Willet, Tubby Hook, with following com- munication, setting forth the facts, and asking tho Sheriff to take rome action ip the matter — James C, Wituet, Esa. — Deak Sin—I am told that some of your deputies intend making & descent on the Street Commissioner's office.

Sheriff, On Monday morning the Mayor was early at his office to wait apy action that might be taken, but all appeared quiet. About 9 o'clock Mr. Conover ‘called upon the Mayor, and after a short conversation the keys were de- livered up to him, and he forthwith had the Street De- partment opened by hie clerks, and all the papers that were removed from the office on Saturday by the Mayor Drought back and placed ia their old quartors, Quite a number gathered in and about the building during the morning, but seeing everything quiet they soon left, THE AFFAIR OF SATURDAY. 10 THE KDITOR OF THR IRRALD, Naw Youk, March 8, 1868, The statement in yesterday's Hxnaiy of what it called the “free fight” on Saturday, in the Street Commis- tioner’# office, between the employés of Mr. Deviin and Mr. Conover, was incorrect in several particulars. The tullowing is @ simple and upvarnished account of the whole transaction :— An bour or two after the rendering of the decision of the Supreme Court some of the superintendents of bureaus and clerks in the Street Department consulted as to the pro- priety of their going over to the Street Commissioner's office. and Lolding themselves ready for the of such duties as the public might require them—the Inghest legal tribunal in the city having now declared them the only officers of the corporation in that ment, it was pot improbable that persons having b Wo transact there would come and desire, after such a period of inaction, to have ittransacted. Mr. Devlin was consulted as to the prudence or propriety of this course; it war understood, at least by some, that be had some sortof an arrangement with Mr. Conover, by which ‘was not, if successful, to demand apd ail who know Mr. Devlin, know mised not to do, will not be done by urgent the necessity; that be will Fengoct ner, no matter bow little regard re their word or pledge. The clerks thought, if the Street Commissioner did not choose claums, the people wou d expect that the: wo earn their salaries, and they termined to go over and take their places at their tive desks. In dotng so they bad no intention of any forcible possession or of offering violence one, and would, if resisted, have immediately | builds g, a8 in offeritg to perform their servires, would have done all thatthe dec'sion justified, and all that the taxpayers could ex them to do. Accordingly, , am whom I was one, went over under ity Street Commissioner, who told as the Court had decided ia Mr. come t do the duties of the F f g i 5 Bz FE ze i Pe # a 38 i zF. FEE : t ' gs Ege Mr. Conover, but they that effect. Some one or ‘ i afterwards asked 0 nted that certan sti- r 10 by the rival claimante, and that they thought they would not be obliged to vacate till after the “ecision of the Court of Appeals; but durmg all thie time the utmost goo feeling prevailed. the cler f both parties continued to converse in this manner, it was observed that two eta of the pablic records were about being removed and in order W prevent this unauthorized public building one of Mr. Devlin's clerks locked the ull he could find out by what authority they taken. For this purpowe be went over to Moe, and be there learned that that personage had them, and he was also told that he would é f 2 : Biss g : E § 53 i F key, an his object was to prevent robbery, The Mayor Wo the Street Commissioner's office, and proceeded to out Mr. Deviin's employes.
