New York, May 8, 1870. To THE Eprror ov THE HuRaLp:— In your paper of the 19th ult, was published a ree port of the proceedings of the ‘Tammany Society,” wherein an attack ts made upon me tn the form of.a communication presented to that body by some per- son or persons whose names are withheld, I wish to place on record proof of its falsity and injustice, ‘The first falsehood ts the allegation that I endea- Vored “to break down the organization of the demo- cratic party ip the city of New York.” That is {m- possibie as it is false, Leaders may be changed, but the democratic party and its organization will sur- vive any man or any set of men. Second, that Iwas absent from my seat in Con- grese when the question of the admission of Virginia was voted upon, and was also absent when my vote was needed on important questions. This, too, is false. Iwas in my seat, and voted with my party for the admission of that State, as by reference to the Congressional Glove of January 15, 1870, will fully appear. On the proposition “That the State of Virginia was entitled to :epresentation in the Von. gress of the Unit.d States,” which was adopted by a vote of ninety-eight to ninety-ve—I voted with m: hae in the attirmative, and for the bill tor the nussion of Virzinia, passed on the same day, my vote ig recorded with the majority. If I have been absent wieu other s0-cal'ed “important votes’’ were taken at mas wh: n my vote was not needed, or when other duties to my constituen’s called me e!sewhere, So much for the charges brought against me by this non-democratic, secret society, iment in whose councils are many of the most ultra radical republicans, I belong to the regular Democratic General Committee, of the city of New York, representing the First ward, having been elected by the democrats of that ward for ten " years, consecutively, an organiza- tuon en irely separate from the Tammany Society. That committee alone has the power to deciare my seat vacant, after first preferring charges against me and giving me an opportunity to be heard in my defence, But to try and to condemn & man. io “Star Chamber’ fasion, and to record him guiliy m “Star Chamber Archives,” is not democratic nor just, but cowardly and dishonest, No secret society 18 entitied to drive me trom the Tammany General Committee, and none has power to drive me from the democratic party. I have ever been a democrat, and shall continue one as long as I live. My efforts in conjunction with the “Young Democr.icy’? were honest ant patriotic endeavors— within party lines—or municipal reform. Those efforts were frustrated by a coaliton—outside party lines—whose character i8 manifest In the subsequent ejcction of forty clected democ: ats irom office, and ihe appotntment of elshteen ratical republicans to bigh execntive offices under the new Charter thus passed, with salaries of from $6,000 to $10,000 each. My record will better bear examination by the honest democ.ats of New York city than the records of my assailants. 1 have said before I shall never cease tobe a demo- crat, nor to believe that my duy as a democrat obliges me to labor with the democratic party against such ineMeroncy and corruption im tits city’s guv- ernment as hither'o has been surpassed only by the nicre monstrons ineficiency and corrupton of the Tepubucaa ad.ninistration of the federai government, z JOHN FOX. THE HOMELESS POO Lecture by Dr. Samuel A. Raborg tm Ald of the Children of Misiortune. ‘The state of the children of misfortune was treated of last night in a lecture at the Cooper Institute by Samuel A. Raborg, M.D. The lecturer was intro- duced to the crowded meeting by the zealous and energetic Father Bodtish, of the congregation of St. Paul. The lecturer pointed out the wealth and glories of the island of Manhattan, the site of the queenly metropolis of our great repubiic, ana then dived down into the “night refuges” provided for the wretched outcasts whose poverty denies them a home. The “homeless poor” he defined to be -those who have no home, no habitation, who know not in the morning where they shall lay their weary limbs at night. The number of vagrant children alone he estimated at 40,000, The number of poor working giris and of destitute sewing women who were driven by cruel and sheer neceasity to live in poison- ous attics and basements full of slime and squalor he had ascertained by carefal inquiry to be immense, To thts fact he called the attention of the gorgeously dressed ladies, who’ do not seo the biood and tears which linéd their sheeny silks and rainbow-tinted satin. It was not. in the burning words of Tom Hood, “fine linen they were wearing out, but human creatures’ lives.” Bread was dear, but, by a blasphemy against God’s image, fash and biood were Cheap; and terrific misery, death and destitution mereased fearfully with the high tide swell and flow of thoughtless, callous lux- ury. Tie gave several Instances of juventle debauchery of boys and girls who got drunk dally on pen-orths of rum. There were to his knowledge quite a crowd LOST FOREVER TO SOCIETY and already in arms a; posed these neglected children to the necessity of vemg vicious it had no right to them when they acied according to the only doctrine they had jearned. The institutions where chiidren were taken care of were the Five Points House of Industry, the Howard Mission and the new asylum in Fourteenth street, which, being a Catholic institution, ought to prove and become metropolitan, as the greater num- ber of our citizens in New York belong to that faith. The cellar popniation numbered 20,000. Their abodes Were the theatre of vice, drunkenness and misery. These dens were overrun with vermin. Each night “shake downs” were provided upon the floor. krequently, double bunks were ranged along the side walls, Men, women and children were hud- died together without any regard to modesty. Buck- ets of benzine, miscalled whiskey, were always kept for the unhappy inmates. Along tie riverfront these basements were sometimes inundated, and then the tramps had to Keep in bed til the waters subsided. Some 200 of these dark, nolsome dens have been closed; but a number large enough to be a disgrace to civilization were still in full blast, He gave A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF AN INSPECTION made of one of these caverns in Cherry street, ‘The cviling was below the sidewalk, no area in front or Tear, ho ventilation, and the inspection had to be made at midday with the aid of a iantern, He showed what excelient regulations were pro- vided for the Cleanliness and ventiiaiions of low lodging houses in London, and for keeping the sexes apart, Such institutions were proved to be a good investment.

Rev. Dr. Boynton, who was then pastor, and General Howard, the founder of the church, could not agree regarding the admission of colored people to church membership and colored children to the Sunday school—the former opposing and the latter favoring the measure, The strife for a time was very bitter between these opposing elements in the church, and finally Dr. Boynton, a year ago or more, withdrew, with about 120 members, and established a new church, which has decreased instead of prospering, as the one they left has greatly done, and it is these old roots of bitterness in the Boynton faction that have undoubtedly stirred up the matter of preferring charges against General Howard and attempting to impair his usefulness and injure him in the estima- tion of the Christian public. i The charge of misappropriating public money and using any of it whatever for personal advantage searcely needs refutation by those who know te character and circumstances of General Howard. Nothing has been proven in this direction, nor can there be, he having abundant receipts, vouchers and evidences to show that every tollar passing through his hands in his various capacities was strictly applied as the government intended it, He has been conscientious, cerefal, prudent and sys- tematic throughout in all the details of the yarious branches bus: under his charge. The matter of immense amounis of money being uselessly, if not fraudulently, expeudet to keep ‘Howard University” from tumbling down has dissolved into a few hundred dollurs only that was a aitty for some needed repairs or a tora- tions, The Jot on which the house.of Generat How- ard is built, which was brought to the notice of the comin‘tee as being a gift to him for some fraud in letting government contracts, or something of like character, proves to have been bought by him and its actual vaine paid therefor. Some personal friends desired io present him with this lot, which he positively declined, and proved the foregoing the record, whigh, singularly enough, ig in the hand- writing of the accuser of this plece of business, who 38 member of the Boynton faction—probably for- gett ng this little former circumstance, ‘hat now hes the form of perjury in he testimony. aln'y aud yet incompiecly.furaianets and’ to. 1 ‘ete ets a te the slanders of Me enemies about his ‘great pecuntiry resources” it should be stated that seve- ral consvlerable payments are required tobe made before the property can become entirely and upen- cumberedly bis own, It is gneraily supposed tn the city that the charges are principally managed for the Boynton faction by ‘8 person Who Manage|l to secure the s-rvices of Hon. Fernando Word in the matter after having failed to gain any other member of Congress to his ald, and oue little item which has never appear a in print, and which willbe abundantly vouche@ for as true, shall hera be given, ’ The three salaries which General Howard is repre- sented as drawing from the government are all visionary, and proved to the commities that he has drawn and does draw but one for all his various duties, and that one js for the position he holds as brigadier general in tne regular army. After having positively deciined to receive any *a.ary ag present of Howard University it was actually fixed at the enormous rate of one doilar per year by the trustees which can be readily ascertai to be true by the records of the insti ution, A SABBATH SQUABBLE. Jersey Alley Again—Fight Between Negroes and Irish—A Wench Unshirts an Irishman Remarkable Mystery. hi Jersey alley, which runs parallel to West Honston street, from Mulberry to Crosby street, in the Four- tecntn ward, has attained nearly as distinguished a reputation for fights, emeutes and bloodshed as has Murderers’ Biock,” rendered historical by the HERALD. About twelve o'clock a few nights ago, a bloody fight occnrred at the junction of this alley and Mulberry streets, at which the ice were present but inade no arrests, and the executive oilicer at the desk in the station house professed to know nothing of it, NO mention was made of it on the returns on the following day, aud some considered our report &s-nsaton, Between nine and ten o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning ovr reporter ts informed @ tight occur:et ia the alley betweea a negro Woman and an {iishmen, and was witnessed by many friends of the principals, It is said that the neggroes and Nisa took sides In suppport of their respective clans, aid for a iew moments there was danger of a general engavement. Some spectator hurried to the Fourteenth ward station house and reporied that a fight was progress- ing in the neighboruood, when policemen came upon tie scene, buf too late to make arrests, a8 the negro wench had com, pletely unshirted tue Irishman and given him a fearful beating that made it necessary for him to seek his room m an adjacent vuilding. Between eleven and twelve last evening inguiries were mace at the Fourteenth precinct, in Spr.ng street, for particulars, when Sergeant Cornwat: and detecuive McKeever professed to not know anything of the disturbance. ‘The officer on post at that hour at first dened.all knowledge of tne fracas, but on cross-examination admit that he had remained on the biock for some time to prevent a renewal of tie row. ‘Subsequently, between twelve and one o'clock this morning the HERALD reporter sallied out in search of information. At the corner of Hous ton and Malverry street he encountered two Fou th ward officers, one of whom was of ‘They treated bim very cavallerly, and de- to sa Mayer The H&RALD reporter proceeded the station house, apd at ten minutes after twelve found the galaut Walsh at the desk. The captain had not heard of the row, neither had Sergeant Grifith, formerly of No, 60 Bleecker street, and it 13 sale to say that, like the fracas, Captain Walsh and Superintendent Jourdan will fst learn of it from the press, Captain Walsn requested the reporier to make charges against his offices, but was Informed tiat nis busivess was not that of a roundsman, but #e- cure news, It 18 unortunate that Captain Walsh, who 1s exerting bimself to ring up his command to the higyest state of efficiency, ci naot be ubiquitous and cover his eutire precinct.

The State Prison Overcrowded—Three Con- victs in Oue Cell—More Accommodations Called For. There are at present confined in the State Prison ai Trenton, N. J., about 650 convicts, and fresh ar- rivals are daily pouring im from the different counties throughout the State. This constant influx should at once suggest the wisdom and propriety of taking immediate steps to in- crease the prison accommodations. The institu- tion is crowded to its utmost capacity, as will appear evident from the fact that the butiding was originally Intended for onty 300 pr’son- ers, allowing only one occupant for each cell, Since then the capacities of the place have not been en- larged in any way, and the consequence is that two convicts, and in many instances three, are obliged to live and breathe within the narrow compass of a single cell. It is true that a bill was passed by the’ Legisiature providing for the erece tion of an additional wing; but nothing has been done thus far with a view of accomplishing this desirable object, But as it wili take a year and more before the proposed extension will be fit for occupancy, the question arises, can the condition of the immates be ameitor- atedin the itervaly If the influx should continue 10 increase in the sime proportion as heretofore, the rixon authorities will be obliged to huddle togeter four or more human beings ito a space originally intended for a single individua'. The effect of tis crowding sysiem upou the health of the prisoners must be atsustrous, as no amount of saniiary pre- cautions will be able to preserve a pure and healvhy a mosphere where so mauy human beings live and reatie. But the effects of the system upon the morals of the inmates wil be attended wiih still more disae- trons consequences, as any one acquainied with the depravity of human nature will readily perceive. It 18 to the intrest of society Watevery effort should be made to render the moral aimosphere in an. aroun Public instiiutious as pure as possivic, especialy in dealing with State Prisons. Every influence o/ a na- ture calculated io improve the minds an hearts of the convicts should be thrown arouud them during their incarceration, go that when turned loose upon society they may be fortified against the tenptations which led them to the commission of erro:s. The manner in witch divine service is conducted cannot be attended with satisiuctory results. The chaplain stands at theentrance to tie wing of the building and recites aioud the service, or preacces, as the cave may be, the prisoners remaining within their ceils, enurely hidden from his view. Taey are supposed tojoin in the servire and pay attention to the reverend genileman’s advice, but the presump- tton is that the sa utury lessons of the preacher are lost to his hearers. At jeast the success that has hitherto attended his eiforts would warrant this sup- sition. It is to be hoped that the proper authortties will take speedy measures to remedy those evils by making the proposed extension without delay. In the new wing provision should be made for & suit- able dining room, which the institution does not possess at present, the prisoners being Obi.ged to take.their meals jn their cells, A lecture rvom or ivrary should be also provided, ana @ hall for public worship. it would be well if, duiing the erection of the new building the different counties should re. tain at the county jails those convicted of minor offences, 80 as not to in'ringe iurther upon the lim- ited accommodations at the State Prison, In justice to those engaged in the management of the prison, Mr, Henton and his assistants, it is right to state that every precuudion has been taken to pre- serve the sanitary condition of the institution. Cleanliness is preserved, good discipline is enforce: and everything is done wiilt a view to ameiiorat the condition of une prisoners. MYSTERIOUS ABDUCTION. Nome two years ago a woman, calling hersclf Brown, appeared in Chicago with a sprightly litue girl, about four years of age. The child did not claim the woman as her mother, but talked of “Mexico” and her “pa” and “ma.” Her clothing was very rich and marked Emma Pomgarduer. It is suspected that Mrs. Brown stole the ciuld and for purposes of her own secreted herself in a West- ern city, she subsequently gave away the gitland suddenly disappeared. The parents or friends of the littie Emma (now called Gertrude), if desirous of reclaiming her, cau learn farther particulars by com- munvicating with Warren, Whippie & Co., deiective agency, No. 72 Broadway.
