BUOYANCY QF THE CITY CREDIT. ‘With the fickleness of a go-a-head people the fever ‘ef the last few days on the municipal mys- Reries has taken a new turn of aelirtum. All ay yesterday public comment ran upon the of a break-up im the Republican wention at Syracuse, The bulletins of i evening papers were read with avidity and the Bews of a possivle break-up among the Kilkenny Pat element there was received with a relish im democratic cire'es. Republicans cursed Fenton and Ponkling indiscriminately, and wondered that there vas no such thing as honesty in their immacu- Jate party. But tn official circles the interest jn the city muddle took a turn whicb, from the ren- ering permanent of the injunction, was among the Ainevitavles—namely, the pinch upon the departments Fesulttng 1rom the stoppage of iunds. The exception $n ‘avor of salaries is ofcourse something which ‘would soon prove useless, in view of the fact that the hands must Nave someiung to work upon, and it 1s not to be presumed that the supply of material on hand would last for any lengthened period.

TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS:— A communication, dated the 20th tnst., has been received from the Department o! Parks informing thts department that the Parks’ Department “is Glready deficient about $280,000 for past or vures,"? aud that the ‘laborers’ pay-rolt, payable to- morrow for the labor performed during the two Weeks ending Saturday last, amounts to near $113,000,” arn \ requesting to be iniormed what you may expect from this Department,’ tn * ré to the nay-roll of the laborers due to morrow.” ‘This communication is accompanied by a state- ment of requisitions, made by your department, amounting from June last, a period of about turee months to $1,100,000, 1 was at the time of tts recetpt, and still am, ear- nesily engaged in ow | arrangements for the earliest possibie payment of mechanics, lavorers and others in the employ of the Can govoramseny: and, while not unmindfal of their for the prompt payment of wages, 1 am eq improseed with the duty of public officials to sce before they caver upon undertakings involving vast expenditures, that the lawful authority to employ and to pay ts so complete that there may be no delay in ng wages which are @ matter of right, and not ot faver, en doe, ‘Tne Departments of Finance and of Parks arc both restrained by the Supreme Cours, the one srom con- tacting and the otner irom Bag obligations in proce of the guthorigation ie of Appor- jonment. This department Is Burhorized to pay over to the Departiuent of Pars such moneys only (except, pernaps, the avails of assessment bonds) a8 are set apart for it by the Board of Apportionment, of which Board your President is a member. All the moneys that it is guthorized to expend in the care of the parks tor the year ending December 31 next have long since been furnished by this de- partment to you; and an amount equai to the amount Of all the bonds aud stocks authorized py the Board of Apportionment to be issued for the De- Pariment of Parks has aiso been paid over. From your communtcation I perceive that you are still incurring heavy obligations against the city. It t# not to be supposed that the Court intended to leave the Department of Parks {free to contract debts to laborers and others and at the same tine to forbid this department to vay. Both depart- ments are alike enyoined—you from contracting and we irom paying. Even if the injunction jer of the Court, which now restrains this department, were to be removed, it would appear from the opin- ion of Judge Barnard, in the Foley case, that “the two per cent act” repeais all laws “authorizing the issue of bonds except the laws which give to these departments (Departments of Parks and Docks), as such, power to raise money by bonds." It seems, then, that this department has now no power to 18sue bonds wader these laws. 1 observe, however, from tie lauguage of the saine learned Judge, which I quote, that your de. partment and the Department of Docks “nave a right to issue bonds whenever, in their jadgment, {t may be necessary for the purpose of carrying on the proper duties entrusted to them by law,’’ It does not appear, however, that ihe very com- Plicated statutes upon this whole subject were per- unent to the case above referred to, nor that, tf they nad been presented to the Court, this wouid have been tts final judgment. In brief, then, it seems— Firsg—That this department has already pald over to the Department of Parks all the moueysit ts authorized to raise for the care and improvement of parks and all that the De- partment of Parks {s entitie! to expend for these purposes department to pay. int ig enjoined by the Court from % ‘Assessment or other, and from making any further payments to the Department of Parks, and the Department of farke from ring any further labiities, Enclosed are extracts from tne injunction order, decision and law above referred to, and also a state- ment showing that the sum of $2,996,000 has been wud ON Various accounts to the Department of Parks from Jauuary 1 up to August 23, 1871. Very Teapecttully, ANDREW 4. GREEN, Deputy Comptrolier. The Judge expressed great surprise at the lan- guage of this letter, and was at a loss to know why it had been sent at all after the modification had been announced to the Finance Department. He felt that Mr. Green was muddled at his responsibilities, and sald that he had been informed by men in Wall street that Mr. Green was seeking ‘he monéy on his V aedenes responsibilities, and that they did not think it good paper money. He deprecated the grouna taken oy Mr. Green in his letter, averriny that if it held ae nothing could done further, even the laying of a Croton,water pipe or @ sewer. It would leave the parks without @ labor force, a police, gardeners, horses; they would even be obliged to apply to Mr. Bergh or some other philanthropist to feed the wild beasts and sustain tnejhome for vagrant monkeys at Central Park. He denounced the idea that the Two Per Cent law annulled the special acts for the Park and museum stock a8 an error which no lawyer could make. Late in the afternoon the following farther letter was received from Mr. Green:— City oF New York, Deragruent oF Finances, COMPTROLLER'S OFF10R, Sept. 27, 1871.

The deiendant admitted that he purchased the property trom one Hayes, who soid it to him as his own prop. erty. Judgment was rendered for the {pelt upon Which an appeal was taken to the General Term of the Court, which has not been decided. The applt- cation is made by the defendant, Macdug, in which he swears that since the trial of the action he hag for the first time discovered that he might have proved by Nel that the piano was Bot in fact the =. of the piatntuir at the tle it was sold to um. ‘The Court held that by the Legislature conferring power to grant new trials it makes it the duty of the Court to accede to the application where the newly discovered evidence 1s material to the issue and merits of the case; that it not belug denied by the Plaintiq, but that such testimony can tn fact be procured, defendant has lald the foundation for the exercise of the power granted under the act; that the rendering of a judgment by the Justice was no bar to the motion; thut the newly discovered evi- dence is material to the merits of the case, Inas- much as the case is founded upon platntiil’s claim and defendant's titie to recover tu tnis action, The Legisiature in allowing new trials In this Court aimed to prevent actual injustice and recoveries upon false and unreilable evidence, Which power should be liberally but cautiously exercised; that @ similar application if made to the Supreme Court would be regular and inform. ‘The motion shoald be granted, judgment set asiae and proceeding of appeal dismissed. .

Annual Diocesan Convention—Important Questions for Discussion—Sermon by Dr. Hi ten. Tne Protestant Episcopal Convention of the die cess of New York commenced its sessions yesterday morning at St. Joun’s chapel, Varick street. Great interest appeared to be attached to the proceedings, owing to the important questions to be brought be- fore the body, including the subject of mmority rep- resentation and the question of “totality,” as itis termed. Bishop Potter presided, and among the clergy present at the opening services were Bishop Qain- tard, of Tennegsee; Rev. Drs. Ryland, Theodore Irving, and Morgan Dix; Rev. Messrs. Olm- stead, of Ruinebeck; Wilder, of Riverdale; W. W. Montgomery, of Mamaroneck. After the Gospel an anthem—"Gome anto me all ye thac labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you resi’—was sang by the Rey. Mr. Cook and cnoir. THR OPENING SERMON, The Rev. Dr. Houghton, of the Church of the Transfiguration, preached the nage sermon, the text beimg selected fron: St. Paul to the Ephesians, knees unto fd iit., 14—“For Unis cause I bow Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom whole family in heaven and earth 1s named, that He Would grant you, according to the riches of His jory, to be strengthened with might by lw pirit inthe inner man.” The reverend gentioman: sald:—Having been selected by my reverend lather in God to preach this sermon. I trast I shail not | gay one word that might not be in strict accordance with teed orthudox opiuions, My sermon surely should not fail to be in harmony with the service of Which 1618 @ part. It should not be made the occa- sion or vehicle of the clergyman’s views on doc- ‘trinal points upon which all my brethren clergy may Not agree. 1t ought to contain words of comfort to all and be filled with sober, loving words of wisdom, affording consolation and an elevating influence to the minds of my brethren, so that they shall go away REJOICING AND STRENGTHENED for the work of the ministry, Surely in St. Paul’a prayer for the Ephesian Church that which we need would inspire us; Keep us loyal and true to the Church of wnich Christ is at the head, and that which strikes at all that 13 selfish and asks for charity is set forth, Paul speaks to the faithfal at Ephesus of Christ as the Father of a family, using tue term family comprehensively, or in to the distinct members o! that one family in heaven and earth. This is the Same use of the term as ap- plied tn Friday’s collect. It would be well if we would regard our own Church in our own land and our own diocese ag bound and knit together by tues of @ family. Surely it would be well if we were to regard that body of which we are mem- bers as @ family rather than as a Church or ecclesia, Gathered in the name of our common Father, let this be a convention of brothers, who are Milled with united, not separated joys. That whioa St. Paul asks for God's family at Ephesus ts that which is wanted by God's family in every diocese throughout the world. He has risen to a height of ba In bis epistles and preacuing that would tax 0 * i ENTELLECTUAL POWERS OF A PRINCR ! Of cherutim. He kneels now not to a for his hearers light to see and grasp his powe! mk 9! No; he begs spiritual strongth for them; si and power, not of the head, but of the hearts of faithful family. It1s for the presence and power of the Holy Ghost in the brethren of this common house- hold that we should pray “and that all sap. help ua to partake of the infinite ve, For this St. Paul bow apa bray , atid for this, too, we bow and pray today. ‘These are the very wahts of the ficmbers of this family of God in this dtocese—the power and presence of the Spirit in the inner man—the light to see and Know the infinite love of the Master, Possessed of these we should enn thenat ie the truth and meaning of the manifold blessed mysteries revealed to ts—our own SELFISHNESS AND SORDLDNESS be changed to love for all men.
