From his statement it appears that on Monday G. W. Thomas, member of a firm of brokers doing busi. ness at No, 42 Exchange place, cailed at their office and represented that he had an order for $62,000 seven per cent first mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, and negotiated for their pur- chase, Yesterday he called between twelve and one o’clock, and secured this amount in bonds, One was numbered 677, the others 3,810 to 3,360 inclu- sive, and 6,001 to 6,020 inclusive, -The bonds were given to him, and, with a colored porter and a clerk of Dabney, Morgan & Co., Thomas lett for his office Where he was to shag them the money for the bonds, Arriving at No, 42 Exchange place Thomas requested the clerk and porter to remain while he went out on the street for a certified check. They waited, but he fatied to return up to the hour for closing the banks, The supposition is that Thomas—who Is a junior member of the firm, and who made no men- Uon of the transaction to ‘his partner—has left for the country; but this may not be the case.

The Bill Abolishing the Board of Supervisors Passed in Both Houses—Confirmations by - the Senate-Veto by the Governor— Quarantine Matters — Political Reformers in Council. ALBANY, April 12, 1870, 'Tho last stroke in the movement for reforming the government of the city of New York has been Made, and to-day the work may be regarded ag complete. This stroke consisted in the passage of the bill ABOLISHING THE NEW YORK SUPERVISORS, a8 at present constituted, and making the Board of Aldermen—which is to be electea in May—together With the Mayor (as President) and the Recorder, the Board to transact the duties of Supervisors, without extra compensation, Beyond this bill there is little of any general interest now transpirings THE CROWDS are beginning to come this way, and to-day the re- presentatives of the innumerable “Williams” are here from all sections of the State. Several of the Persons named for commissioners under the new régime are here to avoid, no doubt, the hordes of applicants for place and pap that are to be at their disposal, THE MASTER MIND _ of the democracy stays quictly “at home” in his apartments and gives advice, counsel or directions, as needs may be, to al! who seek him. THE TIRELESS TIGER has returned, after organizing the Department of Public Works, and appeared in bis place this moin- ing a8 lively as a kitten. It would be ditticult in- deed for ordinary individuals to be lively here, es+ Pecially on a day devoted, as thia has been, to the third reading of bills which mainly affect local in- terests, but somehow or other the presence of “Tweedy” makes the Senate Chamber and its sur- roundings look nvely. Snortiy after Le baa taken his seat he reporved : TUE SUPERVISOR BILL and asked to have it recommitted, with power to report complete. Leave was granted, and as ife nad EVERYTHING IN READINESS the bill wasso reported ina very short time and put on the third reading and passage. The only amendment to the bill Is that the board constituted by the act does not go into effect until July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year. When the bill was put on Its passage THE THUNDERER rose and said that the bill dia not meet his views exactly, but us it did away with a dupiicate form ot [pgp for the city of New York, and would hhereoy save to the people several hundred thousands of dollars, he was decidedly in favor of its passage. Senator Tweed said that the bill was as nearly PERFECT AS HUMAN INGENUITY COULD MAKB IT. He had offered it, ‘In fact,’’ he said, ‘all the bills L oifer are so, and I need not mention that fact.” This, of course, created a smile and put all bands in good humor, and so the bill went Ines ty by @ unani- mous vote. Mr. Tweed then wante: ‘THE BILL SENT TO THE ASSEMBLY, a3 it related toa question on which the people of New York were jwuch agitated, and although be had beeh amember of the board for twelve ycars, and had some tive years more to serve, he thought tt was no more than right and just. ‘The Lieutenant Gov- ernor said tne bill would go to the Assembly with- out any motion to thateifect. But Mr. Tweed said, “It may be charged that I do not want it to go, and 80 I make the request. The bill then went dowa aud was put through in the style of RAILROAD LEGISLATION Which Speaker Hitchman can so well engineer. Be- fore some of the slow pokes in the lower house knew what they were at they had allowed it to go toa third reading, ‘Then they began to offer OBJECTIONS, when Peter Mitchell raised the point of order that as they had not objected at the proper time and the chair had announced the third reading of the bill the objectors were out of order. ‘The point was well taken, and the bill went through by a large vote. So goes the Board of Supervisors, and now Mr. Ely will have no ofticial cares to distract him in bis prepara- tions for the CANVASS FOR THE COMPTROLLERSHIP, ‘This calls to mind tie talk now golug around that an arrangement has been made to run M. TT, Bron- nan for Sheriff anak, B. Connolly for Comptroller, ‘This satisiies both these claimants and will give to the party strong candidates for the Teapeccive Places, It is scarcely safe, however, to build hopes ‘on those Places, as there may be a great change in matters after the May election, and John Fox may come to the frontas a fierce and favorable candidate for the Shrievaity. “We shall see wuat we shall see.’ Senator Murphy’s BROOKLYN POLICE BILL was amended to-day so as to take effect immediately, and also to give the commusioners power to extead and redistrict the territory under their supervision. Atvone o'clock the Senafe went ito executive ses- sion, and in & few minutes made CONFIRMATIONS of a number of notaries, a new board of trustees for the Seamen’s Retreat on Staten Island, and a new inspector of gas meters. The trustees of tne Sea- men’s Retreat sre:—Daniel R. Clawson, James It. Robinson, Captain A, H. Wood, of Richmond county; Clarkson Crolins (reappointed), Captain Jeremiah Briggs (reappointed), Captain Jobn RK. Spoiford and Captain Lemuel H. Hopkins, The new INSPECTOR OF GAS METERS is John Byrnes, of New York. Mr. Byrnes is an old resident of the Thirteenth ward, and his appoint ment is said to be one which will meet with the un- doubted commendation.of all, as he, both as a busi- ness maa and in social circles, 18 universally esteemed, ‘The oitice is one of much responsibility, and if the new appointee only comes up to the recommendations of nis fricnds the gas-burning suiterers of the meiropolis will be pleased. ‘The Governor sent into the Assembly to-day A VETO to the bill making it a misdemeanor to piace ob- structions near the railroad tracks at the Great Valley station. The Governor in his message says:— The proposed law, §f passed at all, shonid be made gen {n ite application, 80 that the public everywhere may get the benefit of its provisions. ‘To declare an act a misd in one town which is not recoguized as a crimi where in the State tends to making the laws under which the people live complicated and uncertain, and to creating confusion in the administration ot criminal justice. ‘The ordinances of municipal authorities may, within certain limits, be permitted to make local regulations which shall be of force only ia the locality; but the statutes of the State Legislature, whon defining offences, should be in their opera- tion co-extenaive with the territory of the State. NED MOORE, the new Superintendent of Streets and Roads, by the grace of Tweed and the will of the democracy, 1s here, and to-day had his commusston in his pocket and occasionally took it out to snow his friends how urmly he was held in the embraces of Tweed’s love, @ chieftain whom he had served so long and so Taithtully, Every one acknowledges that Mr. Moore will make @ most eiilcient officer. If he does not kick up too much of a dust, like other new brooms, the people will have reason to rejoice that the care of tie streets has been entrusted to him. QUARANTINE MATTERS, Mr. Jacobs introduced a resolution to-day author- izing the Committee on Commerce and Navigation to inquire into the expediency of repyrchasing the old grounds of quarantine on Staten Island. The celebrated Swinburne seems to be much interested in this matter, and for what reason may be readily imagined, The resolution authorizes the commit- tee togend for any persons “likely to give any in- formation on the subject.” Swinburne is here ana 80 is Mr. Johnson, the counsel who runs the Com- Inissioners of Quarantine, so the committee will not have to send very far. THE NEW EMIGRATION COMMISSIONER, it is expected, will be Emanuel B. Hart (in place of G. C, Verplanck), and the name will be sent in to the Senate to-morrow. POLITICAL REFORMERS IN COUNCIL. Ata meeting of the State Council for poittical re- form, this morn the committee, consisting of Measts, Dexter A. Hawkins, R. W. Clarke, Wilham Henry Arnoux, D. A. Stewart, John P. M. Tallman and J. G. Butler submitted a lengthy report, con cluding with resolutions protesting against te ap- Propriation of public money or property by town, city, State or national authorities for the endowment of churches and convents, sectarian schools and institutions; calling for a repeal of the section in the New York tax levy appropriating money for that purpose, and that an amendment of the constitution 1s imperatively demanded which will forbid such ap- propriations, and that direct and immediate eiforts for the preservation of our free public schools shall be a special object of our State organization for po- litical reform, NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

The regular weekly meeting of the Commissioners ie was held yesterday afternoon, at No. u the president Jn the chair, and all the mem! nt except Dr. Carnochan, Health Officer of the Port, After the transaction of some minor business the following opinion was submitted by H. W. Johnson, counsel to the Commission, and, being read, was placed on flle:— At the requeat of the Commissioners of Quarantine I have examined the statutes relative to their powers and duties, for the purpose of determining what employs of the Quarantine establishment ase to be sppointed of may be dismissed by them. ‘Their office was created by the Quarantine act of 1 It made no reference to any other statute to agcer- tain their powers, and the determination of this question, therofore, rests alone upon the construction to be given to that act, except so faras it may be affected by subsequent legislation. ‘Tho sacond soction of the uct defines the quaran- Une establishment, and the forty-first section constitutes the Commissioners its’ custodians, to be by them held in trust for the people of the State for the purposes aud subject to the rovisions therein specified. In ths twenty-sixth section it H'deciared that the Health Olicer shall hava the general superintendence and control of the quarantine establish- ment and the care and treat the aick, and that it shall be his dutyto carry out ail the provisions of the axt. To enable him to perform the duly thas enjoined he fs, in tho same section, clothed with certain powers, the power “to select and appoint and disnil many nurses, boatmen and other employ hospital and boarding station as may be found necessary the care and proper treatment of the in.aates thereot also, and in conjunciion with the Quarantine Com: sioners, to license lightermen, stevedores, laborers and other employ.s as tay be found necessary’ for the care aad urificntion of vessels, merchandise, baggage, dunuage, &c., Irquarantine. "An. equally ample” power “of section oF appointment in certain cases ts vesied in him by twenty-elghth section, which declares “that whenever Health Olficer, 1a the performance of his duties ana in the execution of the powers imposed and conferred upon him by law, or by any regulation or ordinance made in purauance of Aay'aaiice of thig Biate, shall order or direct the master, ‘owner or consignee of any vessel subject to quarantine to do any act or thing, or comply with any reculation relative to said vessel, or to any person or thing on board thereof; and. af sald master, ownor or consignee sha'l neglect or refuse to comply witi stich order or direction the said Health Oflicer shall have power toemploy such persons and assistance as may be necessary. to carry out and enforce such order or direction.” The ove mentioned, and others which might be cite intention on the part of the Legislature to vest nitary controt of the quaran- {ino estavilshtnent fm the Heaith Ofliccr, and to empower him alone to select auch employes ag ray pé necessary to ald him in the discharge of his duties, with the single qualification that those employes‘who are to be licensed for service, as a) fied in the fourth subdivision of the twenty-sixth section, shall be licensed oy bim in conjunction with the Commission- ers of Quarantine. This intent was in no respect changed by the act of under which the permunent hospi- tal on West KK was erected. That act declared that that re, when ccmpieted, shonld become ting establishment and audject to exist- sane. It {s, therefore, under the geu- 8 and control of the Health 01 much as any other part of the establishment.

From what bas been stated I think it 4s clear that 1 is a custody that reiates to the protection and preservation of the property, and not to its sanitary control, They are trustees of the ‘establishment aud are to hold it in trust for the people of the State, sub- ject t9 the provisions of the act under which it was procured ‘or constructed. One of those provisions, as I have alreas own, is that ft shall be perintendence and control of the Health Officer, and as a necessary incident to that control he {s clothed with power to elect aud at pleasure dismiss such employes ag may be required to assist him in the discharge of his duties tn refer. ence to it. The Commissioners, therefore, have no authorit to select or dismias any employe of the establishment who is to perform any sanitary duties, aud I do not fiud any specitic delegation of power to them wliatever to golvct any employes hment for any purpose; but as a necossar; rovit 5 under the gener: ship or the steamboat is not require quarantine service tt would undoubtedly ibe the right and duty of the Commissioners to place suitable keepers on board of them to take care of and preserve them from injury. This view of their powers fs strengthened by ment of the forty-tirst section of the act of 1863, passed in 1865, giving them authority to make such rules and regula- tons as they should deem necessary for the care and protec- tion of each portion of the quarantine establishment. But this authority was expressly limited to such rules and regula ‘as were not inconalatent with the act which was thereby nded, thus showipg clearly that they were uot to adopt any ons as would interfere with the sanitary control Health Ollicer, ‘The distinction above polnted ont between the powers of the commissioners and tose of the Health Oficer, in reference to appointments, ts the only one which, in my judgment, will practically harmonize with the general purposes nnd objects of the Quarantine act, ‘New Yor#, April I, 187 HENRY W, JOIINSON, {HE METHODISTS. an amend- The New York East Conference—Thot Little Difficulty in the Methodist Book Concern— fhe Ghost of Fraud iaised by That Minority Reporc. Bishop Ames presided yesterday at the session of the New York Methodit Episcopal Conterence, Fast. Prayer was offered py Rev. Dr. Hunt, after which Dr. Harris read @ letter stating ‘hat it had been found impossipie toembalm the body of the late Bishop Kingsley, who died April 6 at Beyrout, Syria. The Freedman’s Aid Societies submitted a report that they had instructed 22,000 day scholars at an expenditure of $180,000. They desired the sup- port of the Conference a Httle while longer. A majority report of tie commitee appointed to inves- Ugate the condition of the Methodist Book Uon- cern was, on motion of Dr. Curry, put upon file. The minority report of the same committee, on mo- tion of Di, Curry, was laid upon the table. Rev. Dr. BUCKL&Y, one of the friends of the mi- nority committee, moved to reconsider the vote, aud said, amid great excitement, “I pelteve, and I say this Without impeaching auy man’s motives, thatan attempt has been made, and is now betng made, to suppress facts wlilch cught to be kaown to the Gea- eral Conferences and other Conferences on the sub- ject of this ditticuity.”? Dr. CurRyY objected to such scandalous talk; ho wondered that Bishop Ames allowed him to pro- ceed. He called the gentleman to order. Mr. Buckley was sustained by the chairman. Dr. Curry sald he objected to such a decision; he wanted the words of Mr. Buckley taken down upon the minutes, and the decision of the Bishop appended, s0 that he could bring the decision before the next General Conference. Upon the demand of Dr. Curry the words were placed upon the minutes, The Rev. Mr. BUCKLEY then sald—And farther, that a motion to lay this minority report on the table without discussion seems to me to have a striking simtlitude to what I have just said as to the aforesaid attempt to suppress, Dr. CURRY again objected and appealed from tho decision of Bishop Ames to the decision of the house as to whether Mr, Buckley should be allowed to proceed, Bishop AMES ruied that Dr. Curry could not ap- peal from his decision to the house for judgment. His decision was not subject co appeal except to tne next General Conference. Dr. CURRY again entered his objection on the minutes as to the decision of the Bishop, saying that he always bowed to author- ity, although tne Rev. Mr. Buckley was talking scandalousiy. fhe Rev. Mr. BucKLEY, proceeding, repeated his former remarks, and sald that he belleved with all his heart and soul that the report of the minority committee on the Book Concern was the true one. He held in his hand documpsts which, if the vote was reconsidered, he beltleved would prove to we Conterence the truth of hia allegations, ‘The Rev, WILLIAM Wooprurr, the Secretary of the Conference, foilowed with @ defence of the majority report, characterizing the remarks of Mr. Buckley a3 the most slanderous he ever heard. ‘The Rey.
