The counsel of the Board read the law in regard to the Powers of the Board to appropriate funds for the clean- ng of streets not otherwise provided for by contract, from which it appears that they possess the power re- @uisite, under the provisions of section 14, part 2, of the Jaw creating the Board of Health, to clean any streeis ‘and remove any obstructions which they may declare detrimental to health, On the question of their power to delegate the power te officers of the Board to cause the streets of Brooklyn te be cleaned, he also testified to their right in the mat- we ABATEMENT OF NUISANCES. fhe attorney presented his budget of orders for tho wbatement of nuisances from 8,676 to 9,550 inclusive, ‘which were entered. Dr. Crane remarked, in reference to the dumping grounds in Brooklyn, that the contractors are not pro- ‘vided with any regular or designated place for depositing fhe refuse, and the consequence is that they avail them- eelves of tho most convenient piace.

A gentleman recently notified the Board that a person p tyes ‘Twenty-ninth street was extensively engaged in manufacture of wheat-bran tea, and in buying up cargoes, and after cleansing the tea, coloring it With Paris green, The Board's inspoctor for the Fifth istrict thereupon visited the place against which com- had been entered, and the following extract from Ce rye, which was presented at the meeting of the of Health this fmvestigati noon, shows the result of bis Henry Joseph Jameson's business is that of buying ten iting “At eg ee wy which it’ ts. deprived. of process vedo PA damaged appearnnen We Pas Tine tho ark, he damaged irst placed Were it Is allowed to remain several hours, #0 that the nev. so that the ultish or other foreign taste which it have acquired may he removed; it is then dried and sifted; the color. ing matter is then'added, and the tea removed to a revolving barre!. where the color ts thooraghJy mixed. ‘The tea is then gBotstened and dried, and sent to market, | The proprietor in d me that he paid a Chinaman one thousand dollars for the secret of colo: declined to impart the eoles: Sewer soo a ad to do so, He assured me, howev- ployed in the process, and invited the specimens and tested them, with the @ coloring matter, for copper. none, Marsh's test ylelied no trace of arsenic.

Im regard to the Barren Island nuisances Mr. Scuvuz faforined the Board that he had visited that place on ‘Mhersday for the purpose of investigating the matter. Ho geld that Swift, the boas contractor, has a tolerably well regulated ‘dock on which the offal is deposited at that » Which cannot be washed the tide, The Mew York contractors had been driven from their former @amping grounds by the Jersey i been com- to use Barren Island as a place of deposit, They & place distant about one hundred yards from Swift, But could not agree very together on the general management of affairs; so that they have now a building course of construction for their own purposes. During visit he saw lying round exposed to view about six dead cows, five hundred dead horses, and an ftem of three thousand calves, five hundred dogy, two Shousand cats and other carcasses. Occasionally one or more of these were allowed to fall overboard and ftoat. Me undorstood that fishermen were much annoyed A these floating carcasses, and that it was almost imposuil te Osh around Sheep's Head bay without fouling in a @ead horse or some other animal.

He differed with the President as to whom (@e responsibility rested on, and considored that the gen- the contract were the responsible par- Wes for tho negligence exhibited in allowing the offal to sep into the water. He held a complaint against ,'s horse establishment at that }, Bigned by one pete farmers of Long Island. the Hook to Hamilton the beech was strewn with carcasses. One Qarmer alone had recently buried fifty dead horses which fhe found on the shore.

The idea of allow- fg the whole shore to be lined with these offensive car- (@aeees was a thing nvt to be sullered under any consider- ‘Commissioner Brrcen said if they were dropped at Ralf ovb tide in the Lower Bay they would come back Po but if dropped at ebb tide in the Lower Bay, ey might be carried off to sea and there remain. ‘The PiRsupent Was willing to stake all that he was werth that within three months he would cause the whole difficulty to be obviated and make these animals @eource of profit to the whole city and every vac else tmterested in the matter, Commi-sioner Bercks desired that a contractor bo ap- poy ey and bury all the loose animais along e to ‘Tested for Be haar Mage proposed that Mr, De Nyse be ted for purpose, co rye taeda finally referred to Dr. Crane and Com- Miissioner Kergen to report sume plan for the sbatement @f the nuisance, REPORTS OF THE SANITARY COMMITTER.

RETURN OF TIE PRACTICE SHIP SWATARA FROM HER EXPERIMENTAL TRIP TO THE WEST INDIES. The United Staten steamer Swatara has returned from her experimental cruise of four months in the West In- des, having been ordered thither by the Navy Depart- ment for the practical instruction of twelve midshipmen of the last graduating clase in eugineering. Four of them were placed in cbarge of the deck; the second squad bad charge of the engine and {ts dependencies, and the third quad of the boilers, fires and coal bunkers. Com- mander J in his report, says they soon acquired such proficiency m the handling of the engine and 10 of the causes of the various dificultes met with in the management of a quick working en- ine, and the to applied, that it was rarely they had to’ send for the engineer in nominal charge to advise them. It is not, he says, posmble or desirable for a naval officer to become an engineer without neglecting more impor. tant parts of bis profession.

The testimony for the plaintiff showed that, at the time in question, the plaintiff entered a Flushing avenue car at the corner of Fulton and Sands streeta, The car wasa one horse concern and carried no conductor, and was at the time full of possengers The plainti ‘being anable to procure a reat inside took a position near the driver, when he reached point near the Navy Yard, the point of his destination, he requested the driver to stop the car, which was done, when he attempted to get off, but while in the act of alighting the car was started, tho plaintiff fell, one of the wh: passing over his ankle, which resulted in making him a cripple for life, The de. fendante claim that the act was the result of the careions. ness of the plaintiff, and is not entitled to recover.

THE NEW COLLECTOR. Henry A, Smythe to be Installed on Tuesday Next—Hie Confirmation En- dorsead by the Business Community— A Nest of Expectant Office Seckers— Biographical Sketch of the New Ofi. Cial—His Present Movements and Fature Course of Action, dc, After many months of anxiety on the part of a fow hundred employes and a few thousand more or less influ- ential politicians the much vexed question of the Qol- lectorship has at length been definitely put to rest by the confirmation of Mr. Henry 4, Smythe as Collector of this port by the Senate, The intelligence reached this city on Thuraday afternoon, and was made public through the columns of the Herap yesterday morning, the gen- tlemen attached to the Custom House thus receiving the first announcement of the event, THE NEW COLLECTOR OF THE PORT, in common with the readers of this paper, will already have perused his biography as recently printed im the eolumns of the Heraty, Mr. Smythe ia a native of the Btate of New York, being born in the town of Hobart, Delaware county, in the year 1819. Having received a good academic education, he came to this city in 1836, and ten years later was a partner in the Boston house of Francis Skinner & Co., who had just then opened a branch establishment in New York. After eleven years’ Connection with this firm he established the house of Smythe, Sprague & Cooper, retiring from the partnership in 1864, and being subsequently elected President of the Central National Bank, a position he sti!l occupies.to the Perfect satisfaction of the ahareholders. The new Col- lector is no politician, and enjoys the esteem of all politi- cal parties, as he-does that of the business community. THE INFLUENCE OF THE COLLECROR 4g not too lightly estimated by the office seekers of the State, Mr. Smythe having in his gift some eight hundred places, the holders of which recetve salaries varying from four hundred and twenty dollars to four thousand dollarseach, Although it ia extremely doubtful whether the new Collector will make any changes in the several departments, there is no litfle anxiety manifested among those of the attaches who are solely dependent upon their annual stipend. The fact, however, that tho Inte Preston King created and filled but few vacancies of any import- ance, believing that practice frequently made the richt men for the right place, tends to quiet this feeling of nervousness, and the speculations made as to the future conduct of the incoming official usually result in the expression of the beltef that “old hands’’ will not be discharged to make way for employes whose verdancy likely to interfere with the smooth workings of the Custom House, A THE PLAGUE OF OFFICE SEEKERS with which the business places and private residences of all bestowers of patronage have been visited has griev- ously afficted Mr. Smythe, Expectant clerks have laid im ambush in the corridors of the Wall sireet institution to pounce upon the appointer, deputy collectors in spe have kept watch in the approaches to the Central Na- tional Bank, and would-be appraisers have established their summer abodes on the stoop of his private domi- cil. In addition to the verbal applications which ha’ been made by more or leas prominent individuals in favor of pretegis of questionable ability, the new Collec- tor is possessed of nearly five hundred palpable evidences of excellent penmanship, tolerably good powers of com- position, and all expressive of astrong desire to serve the interests of the United States government by occupying any position in the Custom House, from that of Assistant Collector to the more humble one of porter, Those com- munications have been received by Mr. Smythe since the 17th day of April Jast, when the news that the Pre. sident had sen! in his appointment to the Senate for Lop yong Ledwith ittad accused for trial, bail refused. neer ia twenty-three years of ago, "a mative of Queida county, this Siate, CAPITAL AND LABOR. Strike Among the Shipearpenters, Shipjoiners and Shipeaulkers—Meet- ing of Mastcr sShipbuilders—Rewards Offered for the Arrest and Conviction of Alleged Rioters—Interference of the Police Demanded—Present Position of the Strike, &ec. In the Heraty of Thursday we noticed the principal features of the difference that has arisen between the master phipbuilders of this city and the shipcarpenters, shipjoiners and shipcauikers. The workmen, a# we have stated in previous issues, have gone out on a strike because the employers re- fuged to comply with the demand made upon them by the operatives, that each day’s labor shall con- sist of eight instead of ten hours. They have made no demand for jucrease of wages; but they state that on no account will they return to work unless the employers concede the point insisted on, The shipbuilders, on tho other hand, are equally resolute, and declare that they will not be dictated to; that they have been badly treated in the matter; that, at least, before the mon struck they ought to have finished the contracts in hand; ‘and that, when the work was completed, they might be Al perfect liberty to strike and remain out as long as they pleased, provided thoy did not interfere with those who were willing to return to their employ- ment on the old terms, As yet the general body of the stirkers have not expressed a desire to resume work, but the “bosses” state that if one talks to the workmen idividually he will find out that they are opposed to the strike, though they must sustain ft in obedience to the orders issued from the society, in the councils of which matters appertaining to strikes are regulated, It is this phuse of the difficulty that is spectally objectionable to the shipbuilders, They have given it much considera- tion, and they assert that, in their judgment, it is an xtreme hardship upon the head of a family to bo obliged to deprive his wife and children of the comforts which good wages would bring them merely be- enuse an irresponsible society declares that a strike shall commence upon a given day and continue until all tho terms asked have been complied with. Furthermore, the employers assert that they have, from time to time, acquiesced in various claims put forward by their journeyman, that they have now gone to the ‘utmost mit they possibly could, and that if they were to consent to the eight hour sytem some other demand, equally unreasonable, would be immediately advanced, In reply t this the werkmen say that they are not acking What is unreasonable. They alloge that ten hours labor each day exhausts their energies and leayos them without time for mental improvement; and that if the hours of toil were les- sened, they wonld acqmre so much additional energy and sirength as to be able to do in eight hours’ work that which now occupies ten. They state that their labor is their capital, and that if it be overtaxed and overstrained it will become prematurely weak, and their families left, fm the course of a few years, without any means of sup- port. . So far as we can ascertain no offort has been made to bring the parties together to state their views, and produce, if possible, by conciliatory means, ah amicable ‘and just settlement of the disput, ‘There are, we are giad to say, intelligent mechanies io the city who would be delighted to see such ap arrangem nt effected. The continuance of the strike . i venting a large amount of money from circulation in the caty. About $200,000 per weck Was the average weekly sum disbursed for labor In the sixty or eighty ship- building yards in New York. Mr. Simonson's establ rs ment alone paid $3,000 weekly. These facts show that for the past six weeks the strikers have lost no loss a sum than $1,200,000, which they would have received us wages if they haa not struck. Parties had waited on Mr. Simonson and offered to give him contracts for tho building of steamers; but he was unable to accept them, unless ut an increase of twenty per cent in the ordinary price, an increase which he slates would be canned by confirmation reached this city, and yesterday the rush of office seekers in quest of the potentate was really un- precedented, At a lato hour in the afternoon Mr. Smythe, who had spent the day receiving his friends at the Cen- tral National Bank, gave orders that uone of the profane should be admitted to the sanctum, and further an- nounced to the office seekers that no request of theirs would be taken into consideration unless handed in sub- sequent to his installation, all petitions previously for- warded to him being consigned to the waste basket, ‘This piece of gratuitous information scattered the aspi- ante to office to the winds of heaven, and the Collector ‘was enabled to make all the necessary preparations for his departare for Washington without being unnoyed by the visits of either political or personal acquaintances yearning for patronage. THE BUSINRSS COMMUNITY of New York are doubly pleased with the appointment of Mr. Smytue to his” responsible position, inasmuch as they regard the action of the President as highly com- plimentary to one of their body, and vorause they recog: nize in the new Collector one of the most energetic and esteemed of the class, Yesterday a committes of three of the largest shareholders of the Central Bank waited upon Mr. Smythe and requested him not to relinquish his position as President of that institution. The Collector, highly flattered by the compliment Paid him, replied to his visitors that he was abont to consult with the Secretary of the Treasury ax to the expediency of retaining his present title, aud discharg- ing at the came time the duties incumbent on the occu- pant of the Collectorship, As the management of the affatrs of the bank requires but little attention on the part of the President there is no doubt but Mr. Smythe will accede to the request made by the shareholders, and retain the direction of this Snancial institution, of which he was the most prominent founder THE INSTALLATION of the new Collector will probably take place on Tuesday morning next, when the depaties will be sworn in Meantime Mr. Smythe will visit Washington, for which city he started by the six o'clock train last night. Sob- sequent to the installatory ceremonies the Collector will make himself acquainted with the routine duttes of his new position, see to the affairs of the Custom House, and devote a modicum of his time to the office sevkers, who will have an opportunity of basking in the sunshine of his favor between three and four o'clock in the after. noon only, From nine toten o'clock in the morning Mr. Smythe will devote himself to the discharge of his agreeing to the cight hours system. The persops offer- ing the contracts declined to pay the advance, and sent their orders to other parts where they ea can have them exocnted at prices even lower than those which prevail In ordinary times in New York. ‘There is among tho trade organizations one known as the Steam Boifermakers’ and fron Shipbuilders’ Union of New York, No. 1. Its rales are so framed as to ad- mit of a friendly settloment between its members and their employers of any difficulty that should unhappily arise between them, It is expremly provided by the constitution of this body that no money shall be paid out of its funds for the support of strikes, Such a body as this, If it took the trouble, might be able to effect a re- maar ape between the shipbutiders and their late em- _ THE CAULKERS. eoncerning these mon ts that they are pretty well supporied by pecu- niary aid, and that if they yielded the jolners and car- penters might yield also. 6 “bosees’’ believe that if the men submit submission will not first come from the caulkers, who are aware that a vorsel must bo canlked before she i# launched, and that this may possibly in duce the ‘bosses’ to seek them and bot they the “bossag.”? The enulkers aro regarded as the prime movers inthe strike, The master shipbullders asrert that plenty of men are willing to return to work if the ice authorities would only protect them while going | ‘and from their employment. In the dry docks there is little or nothing doing. These places look tame and deserted. The sound of the ham mer has all but ceased; the cantkers do mot wield the ma'let and chirel, and the adze ia seen in the hands of only afew carpenters. Groupe of men here and there discuss the chaness of the strike, Some easy it will fail, others that vt must succeed; and not a emall num- ber contidently asort that in the end capital, with ite | usual force, will gain the day. MERTING OF THE MASTER sirpnutr. Yesterday a meeting of the master shipboilders waa | held at Thalian Hall, in Grand street, for the purpose of considering what was best to be dono in the present po- | sition of the strike, ‘The chair wag taken by Mr. Thomas Stack. Mr. D. D, Westervelt acted as “secretary, The CHarucan said the meeting was called for the par pose of taking steps to protect the men who wore willing to return to work. Mr. Sexson stated that he had offered a reward of | two hundred and fifty dollars for the arrest. and eonvie tion of the persons who had assaalied hie men. He | thought the master shipbuilders ought to offer a reward | for the apprehension of those who might atlack mon | going (0 oF coming from their work. After somo discussion a resolution was unanimously | adopted offering a reward of two hundred and fifiy dol- lars for the arrest and conviction of those who had as saulted or who might aseauit the workmen while golng to and from their work, or while in the employment of the master shipbullders. It was also unanimousiy agreed | that a letter should be addressed to Capt. J, E. Kennedy, Superintendent of the Metropolitan Pollea, calling his attention to the facts of the strike, and Informing him | thata —_ number of the men were willing to return to their work on the old terms, but for fear of personal in- Jury were intimidated from doing so, and requesting him in view of thone facts to take such’ action in the matter are well duties as President of the Central National Bank, and from ten to three he will act as Colleetor of the port, to the entire exclusion of shareholders of banks and office seekers from bis Wall street apartments, Until Tuesday next, therefore, there will be but few itema of interest Telative to the movements of the new Collector.
