It was stated to Suese officials that the committee represented nearly three thousand laborers, that notone cent of pay had been received by these men since the 3ist of August, ‘end that wey were naturally clamorous for tueir pay. Mr. Green said that he bad not received any Pay rotis from the Department of Public Works, and was therefore oficiaily unaware that these men were in arrear of their pay.

Submitted Without Further Argument. Papers of the Opposing Counse! Handed to the Court—Decision To Be Given Next Tuesday, The Supreme Court, Chambers, was again crowded at eleven o'clock yesterday morning by the same heterogeneous throng of curiously interested partics a3 marked the Ingersoll proceedings on the previous day, in the expectation that the argument of counsel therein would be resumed, Instead of further long drawn out argument, however, the matter was brought to a speedy termination, The ~ CLOSING PROCKEDINGS, though brief, were characterized with the usual counter persistent efforts of counsel to get the best of one another, or, rather, not to let their opponents get the best of them, Ex-Jadge BakReETT said he supposed he would have an opportumty to reply if the other side ine dulged in further argument. They claimed the affirmative. If the other siae said nothing they would have novhing to say. Judge INGRAHAM said if they had nothing to say he supposed that would be the end of it, Mr. STOUGHTON wished toknow whether the other side would insist on a reply. He had understood that only one counsel was to be heard on each side, Ho had no desire to go counter to the usual practice in cases of this kind, and did not wish to obtrude himself upon the Court. During his professional career he had always striven to confine bimself to the rul- ings of the Court, and he certainly underatood the Court to rule yesterday that only one counsel would be heara on each side, Judge INGRAUAM sald that this was a mere matter of practice, and nothing else, If either of the coun- se! wished to say anything additional to what had aiready been said he was willing to hear it. Mr. FULLERTON wished to say a word, Mr. Banner objected. Mr. FULLERTON insisted that they made tne mo- tion, Judge INGRANAM considered counsel as opposing the order. So long as Mr. Barrett does not wish to say anything more, acc@uing to practice tue argu- ment should close here. Mr. FULLERTON sald that if anyone was to talk on their glue he would prefer Mr. Stoughton to ao it, but tnasmuch as Mr. Barrett did not wish to say anything unless there was (uriherargament on their side he Was wiiltug to close at once. HANDING IN THE PAPER, Jadge IxGRatiam fald that such being the nader- stand . they might pass up their papers. Mr. Stoughton asked if the Judge would like Judge Sutherland’s deciston in the Pullman case, and also Judge Brady's opinion. The JUDGE said he would take them, Mr. FULLERTON sated that before passing up his foes he would take time to properly endorse Mr. BARRETT remarked that he would simply hand up the decision of Judge Brady in the General Term of the Coart of Com:non Pleas, and tn which case Mr. O'Gorman made the argument on bebalf of the city to the effect that the act of the Legisiature pro- viding that no action against the Mayor and Com- Monalty of the city can be brought in any other court save in the Supreme Court of this district was constituuonal, although encered in the tax levy. Mr. FULLERTON sald that he would also pass up a decision rendered by ex-Judge Barrett, declaring that no argument could be heard ona case before issue was joined, Mr. Bakker said that that decision held good un- Ul reversed by the Supreme Court, THE DECISION. After some further unimportant observations by the counsel the Court announced thathe would give his decision inthe case on next Tuesaay. After this announcement the court room was speedily thinned of the crowd filling every nook aud crauny vi the spacious room.

Interesting addresses were ce- livered by Right Rev. B.

The Department of Public Docks and the De- partment of Public Parks Must Have Money or Stop Work, PROGRESS OF THE ARGUMENT. ‘The present munictpal mudéle continues to give plenty of work for lawyers and judges. Scarcely nad Judge Ingraham, sittmg in Supreme Court Cham- bers, finished up with the Ingersoll matter, the ar- gument in which case he had listened to with un- Wwonted judicial pauence, when he was callea apon to listen to long drawn out arguments connected with orders to show cause—tesued respectively on behalf of the Departments of Pablic Docks and Pube lic Parks—why writs of peremptory mandamus should not be issued to Comptroller Connolly, direct- ing him to pay forthwith the various requisitions recently made upon him by these departments for furds to enable both the payment of past Iabili- Wes and prosecution of the public works in pro- gress under their control. It was astonishing how soon the court room, after being nearty emptied of spectators on the winding up of ‘the Ingersoli case, was again tilled to repletion—the throng com- prising the usual miscellany of politicians of high and low degree, office-holders and the like, who at all hours of the day hang about the vestibules of the courts, Standing on the tiptoe of expectation, as many had to, for there were Dot seats enough to accommodate a third of those Present, they deserve credit for listening very patiently to what in itself was assuredly very dry forensic material, but, in the magnitude of the inte- rests involved and the results possible te grow out ol it, of greatly absorbing public interest. OPENING OF PROCEEDINGS, Mr. O'Gorman, Counsel for tne Corporation, made the opening argument, saying this 1s an application founded on an affdavit of Mr. William Wood, one of the Commussioners of the Department of Docks of the city of New York.

The progress of great public works at present being prosecuted in this city depend upon the interpre- tation Your Honor gives to two statutes to which [ shall proceed to call your attention. I will first cail you attention to section 11, chapter 674, of the Laws of 1871, which reads as follows:— ‘The Comp:rolier of the city of New York shall, from time to time, when directed vy the Commissioners of ihe Sinkiu, Fund, prepare and fesue bonds of said city to be called “Dock bonds of the city of New York,” signed, sealed and countersigned in the same manner as other bonds of said chy, aud bearing mot more than seven per cent fatereat per anpum, and ie from time to time, bat not before ' thirty years r date thereof, for the purpose of " raising — the ceasary to carry out the provisions of ing to the Department of Ducks, iis powers and duties ; and ine Super- visors of the county of New York shail raise annually, by tax upon the estates in said county subject to taxation, @ surm equal to the annual interest upou #0 much of said bonds i have be aud all raise in like manner, jam suflicient to pay the Priveipal of said bonds. Bi re than three millions of dollars of said bonds shall be issued in any one year, and none of said bonds shall be sold for less than the par ot. The moneys received from sw said bona shail be deposited in the treasury of the city of New York, and shall be drawn out and paid by the ¢ of sald city for the several objects and _purp, this act relating to the said department, its ties, upon the reqnisition of the said. Board of the De ment of Docks, counteraigned by the Commissioners Sinkmg Fund. The expenses and compensation ol said Board, its rent, the compensation of its appointces, the pur- chase Money and damages awarled under sub-division tons of this section of tuis act upon the acquisition of private property, the payments under the contracts mentioned in subdivision five of this section of this act, and for work ot ther expenses and i ring out the said Provisions of thie act m keeping, maintaining, repairing, building and rebuilding the wharves belonging to the said corporation, in dredging aud cleaning slips, shalt of said moneys in the manuer above provided. 10 the corporation of said city shail bo the lecal anid Board, and shall appear and defend said i vise said Koard in all maiters, suite or proceedii recied by said Board. pon this section fs founded the provision on Which the Dock Commission depend in this argu. ment, The actembodying this sectiou was passed April 18, 1871, and 1s commonly catied the Charter, In it are set forth the duues of every department of the city government; the amountof expenditures for each; the purposes of the expenditure, and the means by which their various projects small be pros- Dart paid out counsel ecuted, That question as to the Commission of Docks made its fret appearance iu the Charter of 1870, though, of course, in some respecta subsequently amended in Lakers the powers of tne commission, increas- Jng their duties and enlarging their works. I say this for the purpose of showing to Your Honor at the outset what queston,reccived tue considera ton of the lature Of 1871 and its conclusions as expressed in the act of April 18. This act pro- vides for the raising of money by the Comptrolier, under direction of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fand, for improving the city docks. Not over three million dollars are to be tssued In any one year, Gnd the same to be redeemable in thirty years. The funds so raised are to be applied in payment of the expenses and compensation of the Board—in payment of the employés and for assessments and damages—neceasary to purchase @Qu carry OD their improvements, as weil a3 ail the expenses accruing in maintaining, repairing, dredg- ing and cleaning slips. The counsel to the corpora- tion is appointed the legal adviser of the Commis- sion, and I therefore am here to-day, If the will Of the Legisiaiure, as expressed in the act of April 18 be not interpreted as the will of the Legistature, there can be no doubt that Londs should be issued as called for. But if the Legisiature in any way re- pealed this act, then a different conclusion must be arrived at, ‘The other side rely on the secoud section of this act, which reads as fullows:— SR0, 9. From the sum eo raised io n of said years shall be paid all the expenses of the city and county goveraments for all thetr departinents and purposes for each ui sald yenrs, and also tbe in! ‘on the city and county debt, the princ!: 1 of such devte falling due, and the proportion of the State ax payable by said city and county ineach of sald years re- spectively; and no liaotitties suall be incurred for any pur- Pee, in, elther of sald years which shall, with the State tax jor such year an principal and tuteres ‘and county debts payable in such year, make the expenses of the city and county governments to- gether for cach of said years amount to more than two per cent cpon the valuation sforesald with addition herein- before provided, ct provides for the local government of New It peowon 2 stand by itself there can be litte doubt ag to its interpretation.

Richard “B, Connoltyy Com the City of York, An- 0 ee ore, otstoten andrew th Gress beleg duly sworn, deposes and saya that the Department of Docks is one of the enone ‘of the municipal government of the city of New York,organized under aud pursnantto 137 of the laws of 1870, which act was amended by chapter 283, passed April 26, 1870, and further amended by chapter 574, passed Apri! 18, 1871; that deponent ia advised by coun- sel and elieves = that the provisious of the laws 871 chapter or the expense of the city government for all its departments and. purposes, including the Department of Docks, and the pur- poses thereof, can only be lawfully provided for during the years of 1871 and 1872, in the manne: set forth in last mentioned statute, and that the relators had no right to insiat, and that it {s not the duty of deponent or of the Comptrolier of the city to issue darivg the years of 1871 and 1873 the bonds of the city for the purposes specified an the ailiderit of the relator, Wiiliam Wood, upon which the oraer to show cause herein was obtained, ANDRE! GREEN, Sworn before me this 13th day of October, 1871.—C, W. LAWRENOR, Notary Public, He went on to say that he did not desire to utrer asingle word against the Departments of Docks and Parks, All the Deputy Comptrolier desired was ‘that in the very delicate position in which he was placed toward the heads of other departments he should have the direction of the Court. Now, there were some provisions passed on the 18th which were, by general confession, repealed by the ‘Two Ver Cent act, passed on the following day. He instanced the provision for the apportionment of noneys. ‘The argument, from inconsistency, could hardly then be maintained, The Two per Cent act limits the amc unt to be raised to $25,009,000 for 1871 and the same for 1872, It expressly limits the expenses of all departments of the city to that sum. ‘The act of the previous day authorizes the issue of bonds for the Department of Docks. This act fixes the total amount and provides for a Board of Apportion- ment, it was no fauit of the Deputy Comptroller that ali the money lawfully appropriated to any de- partment was exhausted, le could not go beyond the law. Nor was he in fault {the Boara of Ap- portionment had not attributed the proper pro- portion toany one department, It was said that ‘under the fourth section provision was made for the issue of bonds, but it would be scen that this only applied to the bonds authorized by the Conso!idation act, which was expressly saved by the last section of the Two Per Cent act. The O’Brien bonds and Court House bonds, included in the wo Per Cent act, differed entirely from the other purposes of the moneys to be raised. As to Judge Barnard’s Opmmion, it was, a8 he understood it, tuat the Boards of Parks and Docks were not restrained by the Two Per Cent act from issuing such Louds as they were by Jaw entitied to tssue as such boards. But tor that they had no need of coming to thts Court. Tae Deputy Compirolier had no favors to bestow. He simply wished todo his daty. He did not wish to act entirely on bis own judgment, and wished His Honor to interpret the statutes atlecting him in aa oficial capacity, and according as such interpre- lation was he would shape his line of duty. MR, O'GORMAN’S REPLY, Mr. O’GorMAN said, in reply, that he had nothing to say against the Deputy Comptroller. He had taken the fairest way to find his legal duty by sub Mutting the qnestion to the Court, He had stated as a fact that the work on the docks must stop tn case the bonds were not issued. If the law were so it must stop. They had not money to go on more than @ week, but they must act in accordance with the Jaw, He bad used it merely as an argument or what the Legisiature was likely to have meant. It was not fmpossivle tor tlie Legislature to repeal on one day tue act of the previous day. In this case it was their clear duty to consider What was the manifesi imtention of the Legisiatare, After bearing the argument the Court took the Papers and reserved its decision. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS No-sooner had the papers in the above case been passed up to the Judge than the mowon.pa benalf of the Department of Public Parks follawea in its order. Mr. Vanderpoel took up the furensic cudgels for the latter department, He commenced with reading the foliowing statements, purporting to show the dc- ficiencics claimed as to assessinent bonds; also a statement of written requisitions made for mone: by the department upon the Comptrolier in accord- ance with resolutions of the department, the dates when such requisitions Were made and tne amounts due thereon:— Title a.

He desired, however, to interpose no technical objections as to whether the Iwo Per Cent act prohipited tne Comp- troller trom raising the mone; ey now asked for in the manner proposed or pot. He argued at some length, favoring the granting of the mandamus, re- peating some of the arguments made on the previous motion, He urged tnat the present was not pig an application from the artment of Punilc Parks, but from various creditors entitled to money on assessment bonds, and other having claims based on Park Improvement bonds, le read various aiidavits, which have aires been published in the HERALD, and insisted that the same question of law was involved tu each case. He de- ee simply to ascertala whether the bonds could issued, Mr. Strahan took up the DEPUTY COMPTROLLER’S SIDE of the case, fle read an atidavit of Mr. Green, the Deputy Comptroiler, and aiso of Mr. Storrs. The. first seta forth that tf by law itis the duty of the de- artment to issue said bonds, it ts in his discretion determiué the time or times when the amounts and manner tn which such bonds fee to be Issued; that the Board of the Department of Parks sione has authority to authorize the execution or performance of the work ot said department; and that deponent {a advised and believes the sald Board did not au- thorize the execution or performance of the works referred W in said amdavit, and that whatever portion sae er eaans Ok casas ted aE was on the authority o1 ecutive Committee of for the appoint. ment of which the law makes no provision; that nn rts of said work were adve! for_as required by law, and no contract entered Into was made or entered into for the execution and performance of the same or for supplies furnished, as the law pro- the employment of Finace W deponept or 19 the Depart w be arted, revised and eettied, and that no vouchers py ures of anid Devartment of Public for the expenaitures Parks have been examined and atlowed by the Auditor of the Aceounts, or approved by the Aeponent or Comptrolier, a4 required by Jaw. a werent ae our tn ug sented ne w requ’ u in of aM@davits in auswer. “It mignt be necessary for them to show that these requisitions wore regu. lar. They hat supposed when they came here the oaly question to be discussed was tue question of power. ‘Mr, STRATAN was qnite wil'ing to discuss the quea- tion, and let them put in affidavits afterward. Mr. BUCKLEY proceeded to argue the question on behair of the Department of Pantie Parks, He urged, at length, that the Two Per Ceut act only applied to such expenses as had been paid out of taxation, and that the Legislature intended to wrow all other ex- ses into bouds, The JuDGe sald there was no bg of repeal, powers for two years, only @ question of suspeusion of Mr. BUCKLEY said he thought the same considera- tions enped to @ suspension uf the powers as toa re + VANDERPORL briefy ealted attention to the other acts subsequent to the Two Per Cent act of the same form and class as Loose peaae before, to show that the Legislature did not intend to give the construction contended for by Mr. Strahan, The Court adjourned to eleven v'clock A. M. to- day to hear the conclusion of the argument. THE COURTS.

Une of the complainants hid bis head pipe be UD and appeared to have suffered a good deal of punishment, though both of tae men said that the captain fad not used any weapon when maltreating them. Bechle stated that he had only Just recovered from the yellow lever, and that he believed the captain was druuk at the time he as- sauited him, it turned ont, however, that the Com. missioner could not entertain the case, as the vessel 1s owned wholly or in part by Aimericaus, while sue sails under the English fag.
