as OKLYIS BURDENS. Annual Message of Mayor Kalbfleisch. hat Pure Little Town Across the Water Only $30,507,551 Bohind— The Commissions Complained of as the Cause of the Deficit—“Go Slow.” Mayor Kalbfleisch delivered his annual statement ‘before the Common Council of the city of Broeklyn yesterday afternoon relative to the government, finances and improvements going on there, Tho Btatement begins by asserting that we can look back upon the annals of the city’s history for tne year just: expired with satisfaction, The public peace and safety has been rarely disturbed. The public health has been maintained, notwithstand- Ang the almost unprecedented character of the pre- vailing weather. The fears of malignant epidemics so sedulously disseminated during the latter part of the summer proved unfounded. The city fora considerable time was exposed to great peril by “the outrageous conduct of the contractors employed by the Health authorities of the neighboring city, who persisted in throwing the offal and dead animals of New York tnto the waters which wash the shores of Brooklyn. He recom- monds the Kinzs county delegation to urge the pas- sage of a law forbidding the repetition of such an outrage. “The progress of the city amazes and gra- ‘tifles us, as ever anew we stop to observe it. But ‘the city cannot grow so fast as do the burdens an utterly reckless policy has laid upon it.” The ratio of the city’s growth from period to period will be seen as follows:— OOMPABATIVE STATEMENT OF THE POPULATION AND DEBT. epulation tn cea opulation in 1870. Compare with this our public burdens:— A PRESENT FOR POSTERITY. Here it is shown that tor ten years past we havo Deen borrowing money in vast sums, mortgaging our future with increaible recklessness, and at the same time swelling our expenses at arate to which the growth ot the city, rapid as it is, cannot begin to afford a paralicl. Why have we borrowed, unless ‘thi tour proseat payments, Tay be light? Yet we have added to our present payments, as if we were paying cash for Must expensive permanent improre ents, and then we turn around and borrew mil- ons alter muliens, teed alter year, as if we were Daying cash for vext to nothing, and leaving every t over to pusterity. Weare burning the candle it at both ends, atid still hope to keep our light and to have it permanently increasing in brilliancy. THR DéAT OF THE CITY. The present liabilities of tue city are as follows:— Amount outstanding on the Sth of June, 1870, as statement of Sir, Ross, $23,726,000 Fifteen-sixteenths of the _ Local assoumisita..--, Local assessments for Water Board repay- deemed since June 80. sevevsee 166,719 Leaving. y 781,551 Tobe nae am Per Nn gs ootiandin pin aud mal u of actua: lial ember 81, °18%0.-.- ever 80,507,551 The amount of bonas authorized to be tssued in addition, aud which will further increase our lia- bilities, 1s as follows:— Balanee subscription to bridge. $1,800,000 Park improvement. 1,605,000 Sewer, Central aven . 00 Assessment Fund bonds for various Improvements under contract, . 3 Nog Contemplaied restevol 1,404, Andwehare... acseee seessee sees @5;6B5,000 which wii have to be aide ito our already enormous lia Ddilitien, Assessment fund bonds have frequently to be met by the issue of new ones in place of those falling due, and lor which no money has been collected. He therefore asks the Legislature to immediately repeal alt Jaws authorizing the issue of bonds to pay for local unprovements, ROUS PRINCIPLE. for local improvements before the mouey to pay tor the expenses incurred is col- Jected by jocal assessment, as now practiced by the issue of bends, aud raising money upon the credit of the city at iarge, has proven to be dangerous 10 principle, and so utterly at war with true economy that its continuance shouid no longer be permitied, ‘There are still other serious objections to this sys- tem. By the issue ef bonds the city assumes all the Tesponsibulity of the legality of the proceedings un- der which these tprovements are authorized td be made, and may be compelled to prove adirmatively the regularity of all action in the matter before be- coming abie to collect the money paid from the par- ties for whose especial benedit the improvements were made, REPAVING STREETS. The Mayor asks in relation to street paving powers vested in the Water Cominissioners:—Did the law, conterring upon tie Commissioners the power to re- pave the streets, intend to authorize them to enter into contracts to repave a street before it had actu- ally been paved at all? Is it not lair to presume that the law only intended vo confer the power to repave such streets as had become unfit for travel by :ong continued use, but not those that had only been aved recently? Some streets in the same nelh- hood, the original paving of which had been tin- ished but a short time since, have eeu what is termed repaved, by giving the newly laid paving stones & coat of Scrimshaw. If it is deemed desira- ble at ail that these newly paved streets should at once receive a sur:ace of Scrimshaw, why should 1t not be di by the owners of pro, rey picoe, the tine of the street ahd the expense paid by them? We should protest against allowing ule credit of the city to be ‘used for objects like this, cniirely unnecessary, not called for by public need at present, and with greve doubts existing as to the power of compelling pay- ment trem the owners to reimburse the cityior the moneys advanced. STREET CLEANING. The streets have, with few exceptions, been kept tolerably clean during the past year. The cost of this went Of expenditure during the tweive montis ‘was $107,200, with @ fair prospect of increase for the year 1871, The average amount expended from 1864 and including 1868 Was less tian $44,000 per annum. Many of tie streets are badly 1a want of repairs. THE WATER BOARD. The amount expended for salaries and enginecr- ing expeases of tis Board during the past year was $074,491. la 1808 tue total amount for sitnilar ex- penses Was $056,127, ‘dhe amounts expended for the past year for the several months were:— For Swnuary. STREET LIGHTING. Unless some change is made in the present mode of iightit g it will cost the city for the ensuing year not less than $750,000, $150,000 more than was re- quired ten years ago to carry on the whole city gov- ernment. ‘The,dispensing with gastight on bright moonlight nights dues not meet with popular favor, notwith- standing that a large saving might be effected wi the least iuconvemence resulting from it, Another remedy is suggested by the gas companies, mamety, that of reducing the size of the burners from four to three feet. The sooner this or some other plar. is adopted the better, so that we save ourselves the disagreeable necessity of being compelied to again apply to the Legisia- ture for authority to raise a large amount of money to pay for deticlencies, But, meanwhile, some means should also be provided to insure us the fuil supply of gas contracted for, and that the gas {ur- nished is of good quality. ‘This subject is of con- siderable importance, both mm a pecuniary poiut and ag it effects the comfort and travel. TBE PARK COMAISSIONERS. Alluding to this body the Mayor says:--‘It has in- volved our ny ina debt greater already than the whole cost of our magnificent system of water works, and instead of @ completed park, at a mode- rate cost, for which the site chosen afforded peculiar advantages, It has treated us as yet only to what one of our public journals, with truthful satire, de scribed us little more than &@ new branch of the Coney Island road, If we ate to have any reform of local aduirs, the present, I snonid suppose, will be the lest reference 1 need inake to this last of the special Commissions.” Having reviewed the evils of the commission tystem he continues: BOW THE CITY REDUCE ITS TAXRS. Of more importance new tuan to inquire how the clty Decame so entangied ts to discover how it can extricate ‘Itself, I believe, 12 all candor, that while the task 1s guite feasivle now, set if it be postponed the resuit will be most disasiwous to every property aterest In Brooklyn, Another four per cent tax we cannot have.

The present is evi dently the turning point in our city’s career.

With the meeting of the Legislature we shall soon see whether the Joad 1s to be lightened or made more heavy. bill is threatened al to repeal the most consid- erable direct saving of last year, by restoring the salaries of the Police Department to the old Metro- politan standard. Ifthisis the kind of legislation ‘we are to expect, men of limited means had best begin at once to save money towards paying their next year’s taxes, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, the Mayor concludes as follews:—“It is idle to hope for substantial reform, or for a much longer post Ponement of an evil day for Brooklyn unless we get a law Coa me A forbidding any more issne of city bonds by any local body on any pretence what- ever until our present debt ‘shall be at least one-valf paid, and bringing every local authority under the direct and uaquestienabdle control of your honorable body, who, atever eur own faults, as in the mat- ter of the gas 1amps, ¢an at least claim that what- ever we do is in pubiic sight, and woulda be far more keenly watchea if tt were understood that without our public action and approval here not a dellar could be spent, nor an executive official can remain in place.

Sreamsiire HORNET, } PORT-AU-PRINCE, Dec. 18, 1870. After leaving New York on the 8th inst nothing of interest occurred until we arrived at Nassau. Oui experience on the passage is that the steamer is not as fast as we expected she would be, and she ts a great coal burner, consuming twenty-seven tons a day, and more when driven hard. We were off the harbor of Nassau at six P. M. on the 13th, but being unabie to get a pilot did not enter the port until the next morning. We had cleared for Nassau because our supply of coal on leaving New York was not suMcient for us to reach our destination, and we depended upon getting all we re- quired at that port, but in this we were disappointed. The custom of the piace is that all steamers desiring coal must first make written application to the Governor, stating the amount ‘required: then it goes through any amount of red tape and circumlocution before the request is granted or refused. Our application went through the regular forms, but the reply was a re- fusal, on the greund of our suspicious character. ‘Tne ship had been searched by the Revenue Depart- ment, but nothing was found of a contraband character—not a shadow that would tend to con- firm their suspicions. Our large complement of men Was thought to be queer, but their being en board was explained. Every one in the town had their own idea of us. One said we were going to fitusa privateer, another that we had landed guns ana men on some one of the islands, and that as soon as we were coaled we should preceed to take them on beard again, and then for Cuba. Indeed our enire cruise aud destination was mapped eut; but, pe parently, mo two were of the same way of tl ing. ‘rhe captain of a Spanish corvette—the Bazan— succeeded in throwing suds tnto the Governor's eyes concermmg us, and influenced him se strongly Qgainst us that the commander of her Majesty's guu- boat Philomel was ordered to Keep the striciest Watch upon our movements, A boat pulled guard around us all night, and occastonaily eximmed the snackle that secured our chai to the mooring buoy vo see that we were not ready to slip and be of— that our captain was not endeavoring to play them a Yaukee trick, We were obliged to have coal, and as it could not be obtained at Nassau were compelied to go where we could get it, The authorities were very particular in makmz inquiries as to where we desired to clear for, and the captain told them Vera Craz, via Port au Prince. This satisfied them and the clearance was granted. The Spanish steamer in the meantime had leit, and it was teperied that she would lay for us outside; but we knew that she would have to sieam {aster than ever beiore to be able to give us trouble or retard our imovements. By the time we were ready to be off, the Philomel also had steam up, and It was evident that she was geing to accompany us, aud everything promised a lively time. Just before we were ready to leave, the cap- tain went on board the Bnglisn steamer, where he was well received, and we learn that he was in- formed that we were to be seen ciear of neutral Waters, tnat we did nothing of a contraband ature on territory over which the Britisn claim control. Captain Hudson aiso asked of him his protection in the absence of a United States ship of-war shou!d the Spaniard interfere with Imm while im neutral ‘waters; but, as the answer was not entirely satts. factory he returned on board and we went outside. Just adnve were leaving the buoy the English captain returned the visit, and sald to our commander that he came on a friendly call only, to give friendly advice, which was to deliver himself up toa British naval ofmMicer; that he would then be protected; that if we Tell into Spanish hands we should recelve no mercy. Captain Hudson thanked him, but satd he would give up the ship to no one; that his papers were ail Tight, and that he had a clearance from a British rt. poy tho time we were ontside it was half-past six o'clock and quite dark. We weie quite close to the Engilsumea, and tunking Ita good ume to show our aptagonistaciean pair of eels, we gave the Hornet ali the steam she could carry and soon left her Majesiy’s suip iar astern, so. toat by nine 2. M, his mast-head light was not visible, and since then we have seen neither of them. ‘They coatd not tind the slightest Naw about us at Nassau or they would have been delighted to have | madeascizure. Captain Walker would like us to have surrendered to him, but he mistook his game wien Ne tried his persuasive powers upon our cap- tain, who did not see his argument. We are now going up the harbor, and expect to get all the coal we require. We have but one day's supply on poard; but il we do not get what we want here it is nderstood that arrangements have been made for a supply of three or four huadced tons cisewhere, The whole affair at Nassau was scandalous. To think that an American ship can be treated in a British port im such @ slameful manner! During our War the authorities there did not hesitate to fit ous every ship that was calculated to injare our cause. However, we have gained one point, and tiat is a clearance from a British port. We had a pilot from Nassau here, so that in the event of our beivg troubled we could at once run into neutral waters. All on board are well and in high spirtes. Further News of the Hornet. The Hornet took on board at Port au Prince about 800 tens of coal, Which was purchased of M. Rivere, @ merchant there, and left on the 22d inst. for Car- thagena to meet a cargo of ammuntiuon. Captain Hudson expects to have lively times on his cruise, but is very reticent as to what be intends doing. He hints strongly at exciting events, which wiil only be developed as wey progress His crew consists of 100 men, many of Whom are Cubans, but none of them were alowed on shore, and while at Port au Prince great excitement prevailed tn the city as to the ebject and equipment of the Hornet, but they came r the couciusion that it was a Caban expedi- tion. ABIG THING ON ICE. Brady's Skating Rink, in Jersey City, was on Tues- day night the scene of a disgraceful row. A colored man named Ray was skating, wheu he was ap- preached by Mr. Brady, who ordered him off the tce, Ray replied that he had purchased the ticket at the door, and was therefore as entitied to remain as any other person, After some further wravgling Mr. Brady told him he should leave, but F posiiively refused. Mr, Braay then seized him by the throat and atcempted to drag him of, When a cry of mdignauon arose from seve- ral bystanders, and Mr. Brady desisted, Ray was soon after set upon by Meigs, the ticket seller, and three or 1our others, Wao dragged aud pulled him in every direction, one of them siriking him a heavy ‘blow on’ the head, but they were not able to drag him off the ice. Two olicemen were brought: in by Mr. Brady, at when Ray made his statement they concluded he was right, and refused to interfere. “An aflidavit Was mace to these facts yesterday by Ray, before Justice Allen, Who issued Warrants for the arrest of ‘Messrs.

In the forenoon, under the application of such moneys as have already been set free, prices improved, and the general market became buoyant. At the close the continued active demand for funds checked the rise and brought about a reaction, in which prices went off again. The present low prices of the dividend-paying stocks challenge in- vestment, and money is slowly going into them, Hence we shall probably find, from day to day, spasmodic rises as the entire January interest comes upon the street. If the immense amount to be dis- bursed—estimated at nearty $70,000,000—Is not all reinvested the balance will jie in the street fof the use of such speculative combinations as may choose to employ it in furtherance or their plans. The cliques have a way of borrowing money on call at four to seven per cent upon stocks which pay seven to twelve per cent, by which they maxe not only the difierence between these percentages but a percentage upon the difference between the market and par value of their stocks. Thus in the case of Northwest preierred they get ten per cent on 100 and pay only seven per cent on 82. Be. sides, they “milk tne street” from time to time and doubie these profita, It is a popular impression that the: cliques have been competled to “spill? their stocks of tate, But the cliques purposely encourage such ideas in order to form a short ine terest, Northwest preferred is one of the stocks supposed io have been “spilled.” It the books of ‘the clique controlling these shares were investigated 1t would be found that between the profits on “milk- ing” and the difference between the market rate for money and the annual dividends the stock would be found to have cost about 70, Let the clique en- courage rumors that they are going to “burst,'? sinply for the purpose of invetgling speculators for a decline, who will ‘carry’? the stock for rates ranging duwn sometimes as low as ‘‘flat.’” HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

All sorts of rumors were at once set afloat as to tne origin of the diMculty. The facts with regard to the tragedy itself are simply these:—About eigut o'clock ‘Tuesday morning (Mrs. Shaw stepped into Mr. Srafford’s shoe store, walked up to the stove, apporeatiy to warm her feet. Mr, Brafford was standiug at the stove alone, and a few words pussed between the two. Bramtord stooped down to stir the tre, and us be did se Mrs, Shaw drew @ revolver and fired two shots at nis head, Tne first ball passed throagh uis ear, struck the skull behind tne ear and glanced of, making a deep flesh wound. The second iissed clear. Brat- ford fell, and the woman coolly put her revolyer back into her pocket and walked out the back way, and soon joined her husband, who was tn an adjoin- lug store. The frig having beeo beara on the sireet, several persons rushed tn and found bratford on the floor we.tering in blood, A physician was sent for, when his wound was dressed and he was removed to his hotel, The woman was at once arrested and taken before Mayor Kenuett, where her attorney Waived an examination, and she was bound over in tue sui of $1,000 lor her appearance at the next term of the Criminal Conrt, With regard to the origin of the (rouble there are of course two stories, And as neither of them can be establisaed till une trial comes of, we will simply give them as they come to us, and allow the public Wo draw its Own conclusions, Mrs, Shaw’s version we have from a party who may be relied upon as giving her views and statemenis of the case. Bojore | giving either statement, however, it 1s proper to state the fact that about three weeks ago Mrs, Braf- Jord, sister of Mrs. Shaw, filed a petition for a divorce and deserted her husband. Mrs. Shaw, who had been living at Braiford’s for five or six years, was expected to be au important wituess agaist Bratiord tu the divorce case. The parity from whom we have our mformation says that a short time since Bratiord went to shaw and told him that his wie would not dare appear Against hun, intmatiug that she was noue Loo govd, &c, Saw Was amazed at tits Justauatn, and, | returning to jus boarding house, Infurmed his wie of what Bravord had said. She thereupon stated that Brafford had violated her person by fore { five weeks ago, and that she lad been keep E @ secret on account of herself aud al She was uiteriy confounded at the idea of dord’s making an exposure. That eveaing sae Went to Braiford’s store (o seek satisfaction, but did Not get a chance to talk the mutter over, on account of oer persous being mi the store. Sue accordingly returued Tuesday morning, about etyut o'clock, found him aleue, and told him Low he had outraged and insulted her, and, receiving 10 satisiaction, she wi ved by @ Sense Of ber Wrong and slot lum. + _ We callea upon Mr. Brattord, at is room, last Wedaresday for the express purpose, as we informed hitta, of getting bis version of the aifair. We found hiia suffering Considerably from lis wound, noi press hua for # fuli statement of the Viewed from his standpoint. ‘Tue following 1s nis Btatement:—He says (he Saws aad his mou | Jaw have beew at the botvwm of his late domestic | troubles, that they Induced his wile to leave him aud | apply jor a divorce, encouraging her to believe that she had been grossly mistreated by him, and could optam a considerable sum as aifmony’ in case sue applied for and secured & divorce. His wife was sub- } Ject to nervous spelis, and at such tines was iucliued | to believe herseil wronged by him, vut that Wien she | got over her disease she was all right and saiisiled, | He cialis that her last spell would have resulted in } this way had it not been for tue manipulations of Wand his wife. He did not say auythiog as to the talk between him and Shaw, ia which he is re- ported to have made insinuations about the charac- ter of the latter’s wife. Last Monday he sald Mrs. Shaw came to his store and told Dim that ner hus- band had accused her of having had improper reia- ‘Uons with him (Brafford), and that he was enraged | and threatened to leave her. She asked bun whether she should depend on his (#ratford's) old tmend- ship. and whetier he woald stick to her in the emergency. Brafford replied taat he could not prowuwe anything, that iriends were ancertaim In these days, and that she had better ge back. | She was not saustied, but soon returned again and | wanted him (Brafford) to go where they could have | a private interview He refused, and wid her iC | her husband suspected her of improper relations with him what she proposed was te very worst thing she could do; that she liad better go away and not ve seen Im lis (Brailerd’s) presence; that her hnsband might even now be watehing them. She left, but revummed again on the morning of the tWagedy. AS soon 4s jie Saw her he told her this was uo place for her, and i would oniy damage her | cause to remain. She protesied that it would do | no harm, aud a moment afwer shot him, as abeve de- \f substantially Mr, Brafford’s statement. | Having given bota sides our duty in the premises 1s performed. the whoie mystery will, perhaps, not be unfolded till the case comes up in court, When & thorough imvestigation can be bad. It is proper io suy that both partes have hitherto stood weil in we community. Mr. Bratford is @ prominent citizen | and & leading member of the Grace Methodist Hpis- copal cuurch. Mrs, Shaw is a young woman who has hitherto sustaimed an excellent character. She is rather prepossessing in appearance, and has only been married two or tree months. Her husband, Mr, Wiliam H. Shaw, was arrested Tuesday after n0OD as ap accemplice to the crime, and on Wedues- day Was brought before Squire Poe and also bound over in the sum of $1,000. . pROPPED DEAD BY THE WAYSIDE.
