PHS SiRie ON THER SECOND AVENUE RAILROAD ‘HE NEW DRIVERS LICENSED, The ex-drivers of the Second Aveane sailroat, who waitod upon Marshal Tooker, at the Mayor's ofiice, a3 reported in the Hgxaxy of yesterday, were on hand at the License Bureau yesierday morning in large force, attended by a number of their politi- cal friends, and asked if the Marshal had deter- mined to treat tue new drivers as they themselves had been treated some time ago. They had becn arrested for tging unlicensed, and they demanded that thoge now driving tn their places should be ar- rested and compelled to procure licenses. Tho Mar- shal reiterated the statement made by him on the oceasion of the previous visit of the strikers; that he disapproved of the wholesale arrest of drivers to the inconvenience of the travelling public; that at the time of the arrest of the drivers by the pollco he publicly announced his disapproval of the arrest, and did not wish to do now what he had opposed at that time. Some of those present endeavored to argue the matter with tne Marshal. He told them he did not wish to argue the matter. His ca he thies were with the workingmen, aud he was willin to do all he could to protect them. He had notitl the officers of the company to procure licenses for their drivers, and had allowed them until noon yes- terday to settie the matter. ‘The company, ho said, had raised the question of ints authority to’ demand that the drivers should procure licenses, and had called his atiention to chapter 246 of the laws of 185, which reads as follows:— Sxort0N 1. It ahall be lawful for the owner or owners of any railroad in this State to employ any inuabitant of this ate of the age of twenty-one asa car driver or con- ductor, or in any other capacity, notwithstanding any law, regulation or ordinance of any ollicer or municipality or of the Common Council or government of any city or county to the contrary. After reading this he said he did not fee! prepared to decide that the statutes required the car drivers to procure licenses. The city ordinances, he found, contained nothing on the subjeok of ‘oar drivers, and he bad hergtofore gxaciet the license for drivers of Faccommocce i Coaches.) He could not allow his sympatines to lead him 1ato doing anything not war- ranved by the statutes. ‘the strikers appeared to be satisfied that the Marshal could not do any more in the premises (han he bad done, and, thanking him for his expression of sympathy, they withdrew. Shorily after the sirikers had left the Mayor’s office Mr. Harvey H. Woods, secretary of the company, ac- companied by a nuuber of the new employes, ap- peared, and stated to Marshal Tooker that, for the present, the ofilcers of the company would watyo the legal objection they lad made, and follow the gid pian of procuring Iicenses for tuo drivers, aud that Le was ready to pay whatever was necessary. The cares were accordingly made out, and che strike, so ius 48 the Livense Bureau 1s concerned, was ended, 3 THA PRoGRE.S OF THE STRIKE, The strikers thronged ard"wt the slar.1g points esterday, and they appeared {6 be quite silccoms.!!! in making the substitutes feel alarmed. The police ofticers detailed to the cars do uot seem to relish the posts assigned them. A dastardly attempt was made by some person to throw one of the dummy cars oif the track near Seventieth street by ifting one end of a rail and placing a large stone under it. The trap wag set to catch the half-past twelve o'clock dummy going up, but the engineer discovered the mispiaced rail ani stopped the engine in time to prevent the accident which would certainly have followed. The opinion was freely cxpressed that the act was not the work Ol any of the strikers, but of some evii-disposed per- son, to injure them and do some damage ai the same time to the company, regardless of the lives or safety of the passengers in the car. ‘The strikers avow their deiermination to hold out, but the oificers of the company will not accede to their demands as long as they can obtala men to do the work, and will rely on the poitce to Vs Mee the strikers from inflicting any damage on the property or employes of the company.

Gentlemen assuming to be of the legal profession, who undertake to practice at the Tombs Police Court, must at least, ag far as regards Judge Dow- ling, one of ule presiding magistrates, conduct them- selves in @ pretty straightforward way or cise they are sure sooner or later to come to grief, The ex- teat to which ‘shystering’—a term applied to the legal practitioners at our police courts, though of course not applicable to all of them, for among them are honorable exceptions, em- bracing @ broad and extended significance of meaning and covering every grade of deception und Iraud—is practised in these lesser tribunals of juatice wouid, if all the facts could be developed, be as appalling as it is stariling. Those who know anyiling avout at know that the grossest swindling ts practised; that those whom either misfortune or crime has compelled to seck redress or undergo trial at our poiice courts are systematically robbed by psoudo counseliors at law; that there is affected influence with tie judges, and that the work of swindling and extortion only ceases when the vic- tims are peyond the power of being further robbed by those basely plandering vampires of the profession. These remarks are gencral, A case came before Judge Dowling yesterday, the specific detatis of which we allow to reveal themselves in the subjoined affidavit, which tells its owa story, and in a brief explanation of the preliminaries of the case and record of the subsequent acts transpiring before the court. A few days since Mrs, Teresa Hyman, a very respectable looking German woman, preferred a complaint at the Tombs against her husband, charging him with abandonment, Upon this complaint the accused was arrested and committed to the Tombs to await examination. Tae husband, wile in prison, was takea sick and died before his case came up fur a wearing. He had been a waiter at ch’s Liotel, He had deposited in & savings bank $150, all the money and property he possessed in the world. A lawyer liad seen the prisoner, had Led possession of his Lank book and had drawn tity dol. iars from the bank, And now comes the afiidavit of the wife of deceased, made yesterday before Judge Dowling, revealing the subsequent 1K ta the chain of evenis. This ailidavit is as follows:— ‘Yeresa Hyman. of No, 195 Mulberry street, being duly sworn, deposes and says—That on the 12th day oi April, 1869, at the city of New York, io the couniy of New York, she received @ card from a lawyer named Edward J, Anderson, with ® request by the messenger thereof to call upon hun the suid Audersou on Broadway, mentioned 1a said card; that deponeut upon the same day calied apon the said Anderson, Who stated that ie sent for deponent, as he nad deponent’s husband’s bank book, which he had obtained from deponent’s husband before his death, which occurred in the City Prison, he having been coufined there upon a charge made by this de- poneat for abandonment.

Few events have created more pubiic interest hereabouts than the disclosures which are being made from time to time concerning the past and present corruption of the detective branch of the Boston pollce service, The English language 1 de- ficient in words to express with sufficient force and emphasis the condemnation and diagraco which seems now to attach toevery man connected with it. It 13 possible, but mot probabie, that some of the charges may have been exaggerated, but the conduct of the oMvers while the various hearings proceed 18 far from iniicating t.no- cence, At the numerous disclosures of their disre- putable complicity with thieves there 1s generaliy a burst of applause from the spectators, aud their heads are, of course, bowed in shame and grief; but once in a while, when there isa stray word o: sen- tence in their behall, there is a forced atiompt to gain the sympathy of the audience, which reminds one very much of “drowning men grasping at straws.” The last of these hearings, where 40 many extra- ordinary facts have been developed, took piace im the Green Room of the State House last evening. There were as many aS a@ thousand specta- tors present, und very many came as far as the door, and went away disappointed and unable to gain admittance, Mr. George Sennott appeared as counsel for the frieads of & change in the police system of the present day; Judge Poster (former Attorney Goneral) appeared for the accused officers; and Mr. Healey and Mr. Hill, city solicitors, appeared to defend the officers and the city of Boston generally against the imputa- tions which the tae are 80 willing to listen to, ‘Thomas GamMeld was the first called to tell was he knew of the alieged corruption, Mr. Gaifeld is a gentleman of hig standing inthe community, ard has for a number of years been connected with tho city government, and has frequently served as cliair- man aud in other capacities on the committee of tue City Council having the supervision of the police department. In response to questions of Mr. Seu- nott he gave an account of the doings of Culel of Police Kurtz m connection with a robbery com- mitted some two or three years since. It sees that Thomas Hedge, a prominent citizen and business man of Buriingvon, lowa, was taking the new York train at the Providence depot ove day, ani as he got upon the train two or three men crowded roughly against him, He thought nothing of it until a few minutes later, when be found that his pockel- book, containing $10,000 in bonds, had been taken from his iuside coat pocket, ‘the circumstance of crowding occurred to his mind, and the tine and place of the robvery were fully explained to him, tie eft the train and immediately intormed the poticy, and tue result was that two noted thieves were ar- rested, but not until after Mr. Hedge had returned to lowa to attend to his business afairs, leaving the whole matter in the hands of Chief of Police Kurta. When he obtained thetr arrest the thieves were kept four days in @ station house, and not brought before the court, a8 required by law. During their incarceration they were visited by tie Chief of Police and a _ Boston criminal lawyer, well kuown as Russell, and result was that at the end of four days both of the thieves were given their liberty. Alter this extraordinary proceeding the Chief wrote to Mr. Hedge that he thought he could recover $4,000 of the bonds, if Mr. Hedge would in turn give a bill of sale and recelps in full for the whole $10,000, adding, in asubsequent letter, that some unknown person had placed an envelope under his private ofiice door containing $5,000 of his stolen bonds, and in transmitting this to Mr. Hedge he should retain $1,000 a3 the re- ward whicit he had offered. At this juncture of Mr. Gadleld’s narrative, Mr, Sennott, the counsel, asked him if be could not teil who the individual was who placed the bonds under the door. Mr. GuMield said he did not care to. Mr. Sennott tion asked him if it was not Ben Russell, adding that the whole community knew i was lim. To which Mr. Gaifeld replied that in view of that he did not care to correct such an fin- pression if tne community entertained it. In con. tinuing his statement Mr. Gatield read a letter from Mr. Hedge, in reply to Kurtz, in which he toid iim that the conditions of recovering the stolen bonds were rather hard, but that he wanted some of them to use and he was willing to make almost any sacrifice, and he, therefore, accepted oi the terms, paying Kurtz |e as a reward, the receipt for which Mr. GaMeid ad in his possession and showed to the committee. At a later date Hedge wrote to the Chief, asking him What success he was meeting with in getting the balance of the bonds, to which Kurtz repiied tiat he Was using every means in his power, aud if the thieves ever came to Boston he woud pinch the bonds or thetr equivalent out of thei. Sul uently Mr. Gameld said he heard, throug one of che city officers knowing of the transaction, that the thieves paid over the whole of the $10,000 nefore tiey were released, and the party receiving it paid their expenses to New York. Mr. Hedge also pear of this, nud came on {fon lowa to see Kurtz about it, and when he called at his ofice that official was very much excited and confused. He rushed out of his private office and told one of his oMicers iu an adjolaing room to go and find Ben Russell as soon as possible and tell him to come and see him atonce, Russell could not be found, and Mr. Hedge, knowing that the thieves were at that moment in the city, forced the Chief to have a war- rant got out for their arrest forthwith, During the deiay incident to tis, however, the thieves were advised of what was golng on, and only one of them has been seen or heard from since, and this is Sted- man, who has just commenced a iour years’ sen- tence in the Staie Prison for the Goodtag gold rof- bery. Mr. Gaiield stated also in his testimony tna: fhe Chief had denied to the Mayor that he évér yecelved $1,600 from Mr. Hodge, but he had at that Linke Colonel Kurtz's receipt for the same, as showy above. All these statements Mr. Gaf- field substantiated with documentary evidence which had come to hun from Mr, Hedge, wiile chairman of the Committee of the City Council ow Police, and when the inatter Was investigated by his cominittee he was (he only one of the whole Board who voted against the conduct of the ehief, Another case reflecting upon the Cluef was related by Mr, ed. A young man was robbed of his wate l $160 in’a gambling saioon in Howard street. He reported the fact to Kurtz and said that he would compiain of the place unless his watch and $1u0 of the money were resiored to him. While the young man waited m Kurts’s office the latter sent one of lus officers out, and, as wi jubse- quently learned, told hin to go and see the proprie- tor of the place and the watch and money, but when he came back to pretend that he only the watch. The officer did a4 directed, the watch and inoney, gave tue young man the watch and then the Chief 1 Sperousty loaned the gous twelve dotiars to pay bis fare home, and after had left the oflice the oificer and the Chief divided the $160, less tweive dollars, And still another case. A man lost his watch and $600 in money, and re; it to the police, Cer- tain offera of restoration of the watch aad a ye of the money were mare him by tue Chief and some of his detectives, but he did not accept them. Fi- nally Mr. GaMeld (then alderman) heard of the case and the offers of partial restoration by the Chief, and took the man with him to Kurtz and informed him that unless all tne property was restored severe measures would be taken. The result was the resto- ration of the waten and the entire $600 inside of half an hour, thus demonstrating that an alderman could accomplish more iu some directions im thirty minutes oan urtz and his detectives could in three or four weeks. And still another case. A man came here from the West once to recover $4,800 which a clerk had stolen. The absconder was found, arrested, and the money recovered, but no complaint of the thet was made, and the detective who did the business only turned over two-thirds of the amount recovered to the ‘leman who was robbed. Mr, Gamleld also told of the Chief disc! ing one of his detectives because he would not make a division of a reward which he received for arresting some bank robbers. Before Hy 4 1m his testimony the ex-Alderman stated to the committee that he had rolded being present, but that he could not disobey a summons, and now that the screws had been upon him he pu should speak out frankly. He also further stated at the opening that he believed the police detectiv the thieves and the people were equally rrupt, an that the whole detective system was ‘The com ruption on the part of the people he claimed to be anxiety to recover property stolen from them her than @ desire to have the thieves punished, and so long as this state of society existed tives Would also be lianle to corraption, and crime would flourish in deflan law aud with the assistance of the officers of the law. It ts rumored around that there ts something likely to come out in this Investigation concerning the famous, mysterious and terribie Buzzy Woods tragedy in Roxbury. This case will be remembered as one in which a couple of children named Joyce were found dead and terribiy io, the woods named, and that it was evident that the person of the litile girl bad been violated, The whole com- inunity was horror-stricken, and rewards were offered for the murderer, but nothing Was cver douc by the Boston police to ap) end him.
