A case has recently occupied. the attention of this court which presents some features of interest with respect to the resignation of assignees in bankrupicy and the appointment of their successors. In thecase ‘under notice an assignee Nad been elected by the creditors of a bankrupt, and subsequently the attor- wey for certain creditors applied to the court for ap order calling upon the assignee to give security for the faithiul performance of his trust, The Court re- ferred the mayer to a register to take such security, and while the attorney was proceering before the gevister in regard to the case the assignee sent in yhis resignation, The register was, therefore, called upon to make @ reassignment. Judge Blatchford holds tuat, under section 18 of the Bank- ruptcy ‘act, ag assignee may resign. If the ‘register certifies that there 1s a proper case for resignation the Judge will accept the resig+ pation, Then the register will appoint a new as- Bienee to fll the aes Then, when’ the o!d assignees has compiled with al the. provisions of section eighteen and other sections of the act, and closed up his trust and transmitted tt to his succes. for, and executed tothe new assignee all necessary deeds, &c., and the register shall certify to these things, the Judge wil consent, under section eigh- teen, to the discharge of the old assignee.

They do things in @ roundabout way— ring fashion. For instance, while they place in the. niche on the apex in the front of the Hall the “bi Injin,” pamted white asewhite paint can make it, so that in the moonlight 1t has the appearance of a ghost deserted by its friends, they have had placed on the rostrum in the main room, where the Conven- tion is to be held, a pair_of statues, in bronze, of henchmen of the middle ages, attendants upon stout old. robber barons of the Rhine. Gentlemen, have that “big Injin” dipped in a solution of copper and foyaake the error of your ways. ‘The whips of this city can fairly lay claim to two tiings—essentials of the trie gentlemen—modesty and politeness. Who ever heard cartmen or omni- bus drivers use other than the softest language when they find themselves with their vehicles in a tem- porary jam? And who ever saw a Jehu om turning the corner of a street at right angies to Broadway that didn’t instantly check the speed of his horse so that oid men, women ana little children might not be knocked down, run over, maimed or killed? Never. Really, the whips of New York are the most gentle set of men to be found anywhere. An oath would dislocate the jaws of even the most hardened among them. The streets and squares of the city have been in wormy condition for some days past. The worms are of the measuring and “ring”? species. A little of the article known as “Common Council Vermi- fuge” properly applied at this time woul be of in- finite benefit, There are nota fewof the noxious creatures but would like a little of it in view of the “eggs” it is expected of them to deposit in Novem- ber. “ They have a way of doing business, those Fire Commissioners, that surpasses the profundity of the “seven wise men of Gotham.” A steam fire engine boiler exploded in the Rowery the other day, killing and wounding a number of persons. At the inguest its engineer swore, and no one contradicted his statement, that the boiler, patched upand unsafe, was unfit.to generate steam in, and that he had so declared to his superiors, Notwith standing this asseveration, the Fire Commissioners, im @ report which they have just published and which is about as muddy as thelr §lucrubations usually, cénsure the man and dismiss him from the department. Engineers are thus virtually given to understand that however worthless, however un- safe the.boilers of their engines may be, if they col- lapse under a high pressure of steam, off go their heads. The new Fire Marshalship bureau is one of those neat little contrivances for making that great ass, the public, stveat its money, which philosophers must admire, Under Baker, for about twenty years, the annua! cost to the underwriters was about $2,000. “oiiciaily,” the same contrivance costs about $15,000:—Fire Marshal, $5,000; two clerks, $2,500 each; two policemen, $1,200 each; besides printing, office rent, &c. The difference between the new and old systems is, that while one is ornamental the other was useful, Dealers in things mysterious are turning away from spiritual and embracing a new sort of “tsm,' which may be called planchettism. It appears to be an immense favorite with old ladies of both sexes, and th greeting to each other ts after this fashion:—“Do you planchette? How do you plan- chette?’ To planchette, it appears, is to write with asortof mechanical contrivance by nervous action alone answers to mental questions. A few gpore days such ag we have had during the present week and a contagion is inevitable. The smells that greet the nostrils of those who are neces. sitated to pass through the southern end of Green- eet and the narrow thoroughfares that run ight angies to it are positively sickening, Unless speedily removed disease will be engendered. Our young women, and oid ones for that matter, in fashionable foibles and follies are not far behind their sisters of the French capital. One of the latest amusements of the Parisian lady, in order that time May not hang heavily on her hands, is to smoke to- bacco fn the meerschaum pipe until it is thoroughly and handsomely colored, when she presents it to the gentleman ehe holds in highest esteem as a peculiar mark of her favor. In this, however fashionable it may become, our ladies will not follow the ennuyed women of Europe. Their delicate lungs could not endure the odor which arises from the burning to- bacco, Loew's bridge, in hot weather, is certainly an en- cumbrance to Broadway. During four hours yester- day we saw but three persons attempt the ascent to thé platform, and one, a corpuient old woman, gave up the effort on reaching the first landing. We highly approve of the idea of the genlus who pro- | poses its transfer to Fulton ferry in order: that the We are unqualified admirers of muscle—parti larly when it is displayed in a good cause. Con- ductors and drivers of street cars are very fond of » | Putting their bicepulars in motion on little news- | boys, to the delectation of tender-hearted passen- gers, who, in addition toa ride for six cents, are treated, and notrarely, to brutal assaults upon de- fenceless children seeking to earn a living by selling newspapers by striking them with the butt-ends of 1 i whips, or taking them by their shoulders and hurl them on to the pavement with a force suMcient | to break every bone in their poor littie bodies, Muscle Is an immense fnstitution. People passing up Broadway are at a loss to know why its smooth and dustless pavements are so fre- quently and assiduously watered? It is done in the inte of the offal contractors and Barren Island” When the pavement is wet it is slippery, and the chances are that horses driven over it will fail heavily upon it ani break their limbs, Horses thus injured are worthless. Permission is given to kill them, and dead they become the property of the offai contrac- ors who turma pretty little total annually out of these carcases, This is a short way of demonstrat- ing cause and effect, besides giving peop ie an oppor tunity to reflect on the difference between being dry and thirsty, and things generaily. ‘The weather man in the new observatory at the Park is getting his instruments together and is even taking observations, We know this from the fact that the clouds have been gathering, with threaten- ing aapect, in the heavens for the last few days. + People will please put their umbrellas in order. ‘The aggregate shooting of the festive gentlemen who are at present burning powder in Jones’ Wood is about fifteen hundred ball cartridges per day. As to eact shot fifteen glasses of lager is spilled, it foilows that the shooters alone dispose of upwards of twenty-two thousand drinks during the hours devoted by them to boring holes in targets. Congress has done one good thing, and one for ‘which very many of ite sine will be overlooked by the people of New York.

To be sure everybody knows that he cares for nobody but him- Self and that he doesn't even consult Mr. J. A. Ker nedy when he intends to change his policy; but then it seems rather unfair, when the Democratic Convention is about to assemble and talk more than needful about the negro, that he should go to work and stir up his fires, as though he wanted to remind them in particular and everybody else in general of the wrath that is to come. " The inconsiderate vil- lain rose with the sup yesterd: and lazy people who hadnt got out of bed wet were given the first taste of his genial (ly warmth before they had well nigh thought of breakiast. And when folks did steam out of the sheets into unwelcome clothes and dragged themselves into the streets on business in- tent the clerk surrounded them as the Irishman sur- rounded his enemies, unaided and alone. Wise youne men, who Wear tight boots to make their eet “look like thelr brains—very small— were made to understand that too much of _& good thi might be found even in leather and hobbled their sweltering way along the blisteriug pavement with many a-profane.bless- ing uttered in undignified silence. ies of certain blushing ages and ladies who have been for ten years back and still are eighteen years of age, and who love to go forth on Broadway and air their styles and their consciences, to gratify the ends of creation and of course themselves, Sear the clerk to be a distressingly pon low to take such liberties as he did with their faces and their deli- cately pencilled brows. Jolly old bucks who carry about the streets bodies near 200 owt., strict avoirdu- pois, melted mto bess horror of horror and used up more handkerchiefs in their efforts to keep from being washed away by self-dijution than-would have smothered all the thin men in the land. how the linen coat and straw hat dealers, in theirBhirt sleeves and under grateful awnings, smiled on passers by and expatiated on how there was neyer, never more to be cool weather as they handed over the linens and pocketed the cash, And the sly fellows, who are fearful lest our City Fathers should establish public baths and thus become themselves cleanly while doing @ charity to their constituents, stood Notes by their boxea-in their floating oifices and hoped the sun would run up against some outland- ish planet and come to a stand still till the end of the Democratic Convention—and all that from pure! patriotic motives, you know. Yet while the clerk raked up his fires and piled .on the fuel. and whole families meditated suicide and everyboay cried out, “How long, 9 Lord | how long?” the city guardians nodded thentiselves to sleep’on coal boxes and never interfered !

The opinion states that the “old”?

DROWNING CASUALITY IN BROOKLYN. A Man, Woman aud Three Children Drowned {a a Pend in South Brooklyn—The Latter Lose Tieir Lives While Bathing, and the Former in Attempting to Rescue Them. The Eighth ward, Brooklyn, was the scene of a most heartrending and melancholy catastrophe yes- terday afternoon, occasioned by the sudden and un- timely death of five persons, three little girls and two grown persons, under the following circuim- stances:—It appears that about two o'clock in the afternoon three children, named Margaret Douzh- erty, aged ten years; Ann Carroll, of the same age, and Mary Sullivan, about ‘nine years old, all of whom resided in small wooden buildings, or shanties, on Douglass street. near Fourth @renue, betcok themselves toa pond inthe rear of their dwethngs for the purpose of bathing. The pond in question is one of considerable extent and covers an area of tour blocks, being bounded by Union and Douglass streets and Fourth and Fifth avenues. There being no drain- age, the water, since the filliag in of Douglass street, concentrates in thts Jocality, and is tn some placcs fully fifteen feet in depth. On the lower grade of the surrounding streets are congregated a number of shanties peopled by the poor class of people, froin whose doors the bank slopes gradually down to tue sheet of water above alluded to. This pond in warm weather affords a favorite place of resort among Wie youngsters, who devote their leisure time to playing around it, fishing for “minnies’ and wading therein. ‘These three children, hand tn hand, as was their wont on previous occasions, stepped joyously and thoughtlessly into the water yesterday afternoon, -moving gradually forward, when they were aii ob- eh hg Sane beneath the surface and thei Tuggle vigorously to regain their depth. All this wen witnessed vy a poor man named James McGee, while sitting at his door, at the corner of Fifth avenue and ‘Douglass street, who, prompt to exert the first instincts of humanity, regardless of personal risk (le being unable to swim), rushed down the bank an’ into the water. Dashing boldly forward toward the spot where he had seen them sink, he, too, was soon. beyond his depth, and struggling, but in vain, to keep his head above the surface. The mother of Marga ret, Mrs. Ann Dougherty, who, frou the window of her residence on the opposite side of the pond, bad witnessed the terrible tragedy, and now urged for- ward with a mother's devotion and self-sacrificing love for her offspring, ran into the pond, without waiting even to divest herself of any portion of her clothing, and getting into the same hole or guily which now held the four bodies, was soon added to the fearful holicaust of victims to a watery grave. At this latter juncture a neighbor, named Peter Conners, heard the cries of the unfortunate womas and nobiyrashing forward, being able to swim, reac! ed the Ps! and succeeded in conveyin, one of the children to tne bank. The again and again repeated his melancholy task im tiie manner, until at length, completely exhausted, he had lauded the last of the five anfortunate pie, who but a few minutes previous were full of life and health, little dreaming that the angel of death was so near their humble hearths. By tius time quite o large number of persons, chiety women and chi dren—the men being at their daily work—were sembled on the scene, when the most affeeting ¢x- pressions of grief for the dead and lamentations were raised, Onicer Cadmus, who was returning from dinner on one of the city cars, saw the crowd and hastened to tie spot, where he assisted tn tayine out the bodies until the arrival of Captain Powets, of the Fiftieth preeinet, who aucsed their removal thetr respective abodes. Dra, Wyide and Kay were immediately summoned and al possible efforts in the premises were ma. \« to fesuscitate them. ‘A slight pulse was noticeable i) one of the children, and the body was rolled over a barrel, but to no avail; the pulsation goon e@ase | and iffe was d red to be extinct, The there guve no tndication of life whatsoever.
