Ni, 1968.—TRIPLE SHEED me ts Sud 0 2 thelt © bette of vs same his as Fre] ry Ere eeee ‘The Judge dismissed The New Chamber-That Court House Aguin— Bohemian Regaars. For the first time the Board of Supervisors held a public meeting of the Board in the new Court House building, thus throwing open their new chamber for public inspection, The chamber is simply gorgeous, but its gorgeousness is not gingerbready. Every- thing is solid; that is everything in ‘the way of furni- ture is solid, however the Board itself may be, in some Ways, The desks, one for each member, are of solid black walnut, carved in imitation of antique panelling, and remind one of the pictures of libraries of mediwval lords, The desks for president and clerk are also of solid walnut, the panels made of walnut sections, with grain some- thing like birds-eye maple and highly polished. At the back of the President’s chair is a massive and elaborate Wainscot, fully fifteen feet in height, also of solid walnut, under the centre cap of which is in- sertéd @ handsome circular clock—all bearing the peculiar formation and finish of mediwval art. The chairs are solid walnut frames, with cushions of crimson rep. ‘The window curtains are of costly green rep, with illuminated border fastened under cornices of carved walnut, The chairs in the lobby are of solld maple, with cane seats, and made in the latest style. On the wall, at the back of the chamber, on @ massive bracket of carved and i eae wal- nut, stands a shaft of highly finished Italian in height, marble marble, some four or five feev on which is placed a very fine bust of the late Supervisor Purdy. The gas consist of two standing triple lights at each end of the president’s desk and clerk’s desk, an elaborate aud massive hanging chandelier in the centre of the room and single brackets in other parts of the chamber. The fixtures are of massive bronze and globes of fgured cut glass. The desks are so handsome and the chairs so fine that some of the mei rs seemed ill at ease. They could not, in the resence of 40 much finery, throw their heels upon ie desks a8 was their wont Im the old room, and could not bring themselves to light cigars and blow clouds of smoke, and so they solaced themselves by “shooting” at particular letters or flowers on the gilded china splitoons, one of which 18 piaced near each desk, tigured and flowered and inscribed “Board of Supervisors.” The President (Supervisor Roche) called the Board to order at three o'clock, and the work began. The county tax levy was approved, and the Comptroller was directed to issue bonds for the County Court House stock to the amount of $800,000, bearing in- terest at six per cent. Several papers of minor im- portance were introduced and disposed of, and a tition was presentog, signed by a number of Bo- emians, begeing the Board, in the names of several metropolitan journals, to furnish a room for the use of the reporters. What this room is wanted for, or why the city and county should be taxed to furnish @ lounging place for representatives of certain papers, is Something worthy of being known. Almost all the papers decry the Board of Supervisors a8 a set of official thieves, raise loud and long complaints: about the immensity of the County Court House job, write down alinost every measure brought up as a new means of swindling and yet allow their repre- sentatives to ask, in their names, of these “jobbers?” to provide in this same Court House and to add to the public tax for the furnishing of a room “for the use of the reporters.” Respeetable journals are sup- posed to have oftice room enough jor their employés to do their work in and those cliques which seek to manipulate the utterances of the press on public matters are the only ores who can be benefited by the grant of a room. ‘The petion was referred to a committee and this committee should, if they have any regard for outraged decency, quash the matter and allow the begging Bohemians to do their writing, if needed, in the Clerk’s office, where there are iuk- stands too large to be pocketed. Supervisor ‘TWEED stated that the chamber had been furnished with the design of furnishing suita- ble accommodations for the Court of Aprenia as well as for the Board, and offel @ res- olution directing the President and Clerk to notify the presiding Justice of the Court of Appeals that the chamber 1s atthe disposal of the Court when needed. The County Court House bill from January 1 to June 1 was taken up and al- lowed. The items are as follows:— E. V. Haughwout & Oo, heating and ventilat- in, + $74,967 J.B. 75,806 J.H.

[From the Albany Argus, June 10.} ‘The sentence of ex-Speaker Cailicott and Colonel Enright to the Albany Penitentlary, for violation of the Revenue laws, has attract @ large share of public attention. Espectally is this the case mn this community, where Callicott was well known. His first appearance here was in 1860, when he took his feat asa member of Assembly from Kings county, He was a man of pleasing manners and address, and, although but little Known at that time outside of Brookien, was the democratic nominee for Speaker, He was returned in 1863. The House was a tie, being composed of six- ty-fonr democrats and sixty-four republicans. The change of one vote was all that was necessaryto turn the scale. Culilcott voted for over two weeks for Gilbert Dean, the democratic nominee for Speaker, and then made a bargain with the republicans to go over to them, rovided they would elect him presiding officer, he bargain was consummated, and the republican State Conmmittee paid Callicott twelve hundred dol- lars in addition to the 5] ership. This was the price of his treachery to the democratic party. The sale he made of himself at that time gave the or- ganization of the House to the republicans, and ena- bled them to elect Edwin D. Morgan to the United States Senate, By virtue of his office as. Speaker Callicott became & member of the Board of Commissioners of the Land office, # Trustee of the State. Capitol, &c. The passage of every bill while he was Speaker bears his siguature, and thus his name is placed bundreds of times upon the records, to deposited forever with the State archives, Through the induence of Senator Morgan Cailicott was afterwards appointed a United States Treasury agent, and was located in the South- ern States, In this capacity it was Spported he had made considerable money. At « later period, and through the same influence, he was pret Col- lector of Internal Revenue for one of the Brooklyn districts.

SKETCHES OF THE NEW YORK PRESS, (Translated from the Paris Figare.) At the moment that @ new régime ts beimg in- Augurated for the press in France, it may be Inter- esting to have some details of the New York news- papers. Is it not an acknowledged fact that the Americans are our superiors in respect of publicity, and that they enjoy in this matter an un!imited liberty ? Three great American papers divide the immense number of subscribers and readers. They are:—The Tribune, radical organ, conducted by Mr. Horace Greeley; the Times, moderate democyat, conducted by Mr. Henry J. Raymond; and the New York HERALD, the property of Mr. James Gordon Bennett. The form and style of this latter paper has beeu adopted by the others, and on this account we will confine ourselves to it for ie present, It follow no given political tenor. tacks about wonderfully, and in its changes makes it o main point to sift out and forestall the public opinion, However, it 1s, without doubt. the best informed. In a city where living is four times dearer than in Paris the New York Heravp is sold for four cents, containing eight pages, and thrice @ week even twelve, of printed matter, in which the type is compact, pressed and close. The advertisements oceupy about one-third, and its immense publicity (circulation) gives it the fo of the so-called “personals.” Under this headi at the top of the first column are to be found rendezvous given and private corespondences, often in cypher.

Each specialty has its place, known beforehand to the reader who wishes to study it, Nothing is spared to render the informa- tion given certain, precise and before any other pub- cation. Last year the HERALD paid $20,000 for a verbal cable transmission of the King of Prussta’s opening speech, and its correspondents, well paid, are established in all the great capitals of the world, ‘This paper, which yields a princely income, was started by Mr. James Gordon Bennet a Scotchman, who went to America, poor, about forty years ago.

Dr. Mariano Aroxemena, @ prominent citizen of Panama, while opening the window of his bedroom, in the third story, lost his balance, and fell into the courtyard below—a depth of nearly thirty feet. As the accident occurred about five o’clock in the morning, he was not dis- covered until about an hour afterwards, He sur- vived only a few hours, having received se. vere internal injuries, but retained bis senses and power of speech until the lest. His remains were interred with considerable pomp, being accom- anied to the cemetery by ie forces, fol- jowed by almost the entire poPulation. The deceased ‘was the last but one of the signers of the Declaration of independence when the Istimus cut itself off from the Spanish yoke, aud since that time he has filled many of the leading ofices under the erninent, both of the State of Panama and of the republic. He was formerly Minister to Peru, a long time Consul for Bolivia and recently Mimster Plenipeten- tary to it the Central American States at the American Co! Sin Lima. Previous to his death he had com an elaborate and highly interest- ing history of the Isthmus, for which ¢ he was probably more competent than any living man. For some time past he was engagea in editing the Spanish columns of the Star and in which journal he <a took a deep interest aud for which was engaged writing an article on the anniversary of the death of Bolivar atthe moment he came to so un- timely an end.
