The earnest winiry look of the winter may have been to blame for tnis: but, whatever the canse was, there was certamly very little fun or tuss around the public ofices. The corridors and hallways in the two great buidings—City Hall and court Honse— were comparatively deseried, and those wao were present looked bine and gloomy and con- vereed only in undertones. Tue only portton of the buildings im which there was any unusual sur was in the room occupied by TUB BOARD OF CANVASSERS. Here the Supervisors, sitting as canvassers, con- unued thetr work throughout the day. ‘The canvass of the Sixth, Fourteenth, Seventh and ‘thirteenth wards was gone through with, and was {ound to | vacy but Itttle from the res already pibiished, Numbers of the leaders in the re‘orm movement, rominent among them being Messrs.

MAIL SERVICE ON THE PACIF The Question of Subsidies Discussed Pro and Con- Views of Merchants as to the Rise and Fail of the Shipping Inter: ~ How Ocean Trade is Kettered. A special mecting of the Chamber of Commerce was brid yesterday afternoon to receive and take action on the report recommitted to the Committee No. 4, witn instructions to recommend the govern- meat to grant @ liberal compensation for mail ser- vice on tie Pactfic Ocean. There was a pretty larze attendance, the chair being occupied by the Vice Preadent, Mr. George Opdyke, who, alter stating that the object of the meeting was in relation to cer- tain compensation for mail service for a liue of steamera between San Francisco and Australia, called on the committee for thetr roport. Mr. D. W, Jamas then read the following docu- ment:— The committee beg Icave respectfully to report that tl have given to the petition of Mr. Wiillam H, Webb to the’ Chamber of Commerce, urging the endorsement by the Chamber to certain specified methods to Ure from (the national Congress a “money sabaidy” in ald of his line of steamers to Australia and New Zealand, and also the instructions ee He ee pod poree Car ee een u ern ment it &@ livera! compensatio! for mail service in the Paci their ‘carer co sid eration, and in obedience to the tnsiructions of the Chamber tue committee present the following reso- ution: Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce recommend the government to grant » Liberal compensation for mali service onthe Pacicc Gcean. But the committer deg leave further | to that ia the report they had the honor to the Guamber at its inst meeting they state micored it mexpedicnt for the na auch money sively ae was specifically appl | Litton above referred to, believing that the sentiment of | the courtry had exproased itnelf against subsidies, anu ago | holding to the oproion that should the Chamber endorse auch applications now it would serloualy interfere with any recommendations the Chamber might nes {it to make to Congress looklag to weanures for the general relief of com- merce and the ,,raauai restoration of our shipping and mari- {ime interests. Furtner examination and reilection confirm tae comunities in these views, and they therefore recommend that matead of adopting the foregoing resolution the Chamber should adopt the following resolution, general in its character ! not having reference to speetal cases:— Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of the Stato of New York hereby recommend the goverament to pay « liberal Gompensation (or carrying the mails to all suitable lines of American sicawers sailing to foreiga ports. Tne committee beiteve that this resolution ts more National, less objectionable and will be more ser- viceable to the cause of Commerce Lhan the former one, a3 it will place the Chamber right on the record as to the general desire of the Chamber to ald in the restoration of American commerce. Mr. VERMILYEA moved that the report be ac- cepted, and the resolution, having been duly sec. onded, was carried, Mr, A. A. Low then moved that the oMicers of the Chamber ut Commerce memoriailze Conereas, 1a accordance with the closing resolution of the com- | mittee’s report and in harmony therewith. He liked | the general resolution better than the parucular one. Mr. JACKSON S. ScHULTA raised a question as to the interpretation of ihe word “liberal” meationed in the resolution, If it meant fair or just com-. pensation for service performed he has nv objec- on to it, but if it were designed to cover subsidies he was opposed to it. Now, he would ask whether it meant a subsidy or not? Mr. Low replied in the adirmative. Mr. ScHULtZ sald that, while he obsected to sub. stdies, he was not opposed to compensation for ser- vices performed. Mr. Low observed that the whole matter had been fully discussed on previous occasions. At the last meeting the Chamber directea the committee to bring in a report recommending the grauting of a subsidy to Webb’s line of steamers. They had not acted in harmony with, or tn conformity with, the directions of the Chamber. Now, it had been urged, and very clearly, that’ a subsidy was necessary to overcome the difficulties and disabili- ties thrown apon American commerce by the pro- Lective laws of the country. A subsidy was so much for carrying the matis, I{ it were just it should be large enough Lo offset. the fetters, aitticulties and disabilities thrown upon Congress by the protective laws of ihe country. While American interest flourished by the tariff laws of the country tne | shipping interest was opp! ad by those laws. If | Mr. ultz Would get posers to rid the country of the laws that oppressed shipping there would be no subsidies asxed for; but waile burdens | Were cast upou the commerce of ihe country ii was | but rignt that Congress sbouid apply the remedy by | giving subs. dies. He had always advocated sub- sidies, Al the last meeting oi the Cham.wer of Com- | merce it was understood that the committee was | directed to recommend subsidies to the Webb line ofsteamers. In conclusion, he would move that | Cong-ess be memorializea in | tog resolution of the report, Mr. JAMES, a8 Chairman Of the committee, stated the committee had resoived that in their jadgment it was unwise and inexpedient to recommend the granting of subsidies to special lines, and that it would be @ grave mistake to do so, ‘They aiso-con- sidered that tt would be a@ most unfortunate thing the Chamber to do 80. A just compensation ervices performed was meant as a general measure and did not apply to any particular line. He objecved (0 special legisiation aud did vot think that the Chamber would endorse it. [t was a dim. cuit thing for tne Chamber of Commerce to endorse the subsidizing of one special iine of steamers owued by a special inaividual. The one was in- tended for a grad national object, the other aimed only at special legislation. The committee were the spirit of the cios- | op; dt LO subsIIZing special lines. ir. BIERWITH Considered that It was not so much that any one steamship llue should be favored by the endorsement from the Chaaiber, bul that tie Chamber should express by its action that there was &@ universal «desire for the revival of the American shipping mieres!. He believed, however, that it could easily be shown that the granting of substates had never yet directly benefited the shipping mie- resi, but he had no doubt that they tended to mcrease iraue between countries. But the shipping interest | ver se did Dot require subsidies. 1t was the vessels | | that would carry Lhe freight cheapest would get {he trade. He wonld like to know whether If by subsi- diving & half a lozon of vessels toey would be ena- | bled to build cheap vesscis. He was sure it could not ; be done unless all vessels were subsidized. The | speaker reviewed oriefly tue history of the shipping | interest In Rugiand, arguing that subsidies had now | heiped it, but rather the facilities afforded for ship- vuilding possessed in that country, He contended that the removal of the restrictious which now pressed the siippmg anterest Would tend far inore successfully towards its revival than the grauting o/ subsidies. The shipping business was almost dead and if couid not be revived by tue subsidizing of Jew steamsuips on the Pacitic Ocean. But if Ameri- prise, lugenuity and evuergy were aliowed the fall exercise of their powers there would be itt. tie doubt of the revtval of the shipping inicrest, OrvYkE, who had temporary vacated the set forth what fhe government had done for the protection of the county, and proc.eded to inquire what if had done jor sulpping.

Some unscrupulous Bohemian has again imposed upon the credulity of certain among our contempo- raries, Various journals contained yesterday more or leas lengthy reports of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Viaduct Railway Company on Tuesaday. There reports were ail very incorrect, and some of t:em shamefully so, No reporter was present at the meeting, and the accounts of it pub- lished appear to have been cooked up from the | imperfect statements obtained from some one | or other who had heard at second hand what was believed to have been said and done. Some of these statements contained in these fragments of | imaginative history were s0 extraordinary in their general purport, and placed certain well known gentlemen in 50 absurdly inconsistent a light, that a representative of the Heat called yester- day afternoon upon Mr. W. B.

Strikes in Erfurt, Cologne, Mayence and Chem- nits—The International at Work—Thou- sands of Men {dle—Trouble Feared. CoLoGne, Oct. 31, 187!. The managers of the Rhenish Ratiroad Company have published the copy of a requisition addressed to them by the artisaus employed at the workshops or the company, near this city. The men demand a Teduction (ten) in the hours of labor, namely, to commence, in tieu of at five, at six o'clock in the morning, with three recesses of an aggregate of (wo hours allowed for meais; all overtime, as well a3 Sunday lavor, to ve paid at double the rate of ‘Wages hitherto allowed. They further demand a revision of the tariff of all piece work, respectively am increase of pay amounting to twenty-five per cent. THE WORKINGMEN’S DEMANDS, The address comprised eight counts, the Last of which embodies the following:— We demand a more hi nite eryaamans om wa setuceet ¢ are, ani to be, free Germans, and in the faithfa! alacharge af our duly we desire to be trealed accor gly. THE REQUISITION is aligned oy twenty-three artisans—comprising smiths, boiler makers, carpenters, painters, sad- dlers, &c.—one of them acting a3 president, the re- mainder in the capacity: of committeemen. The Tequisition concludes with @ threat to the effect ‘hat if within three daya the Board has not sent ta @reply granting what are deemed W be the just demands of the mea all will strike work torthwith, ‘The same, it is added, will be tae case in the event of eny of tae committemen bemg put to inconven- jence by reason of bringing forward the present demonstration. THR RAILROAD COMPANY, in giving publicity to the document, say that they owe it to their own interest and to that of the public to resist the demands, which, they doubt not, have been Urought forward at the instigation of foreigners, In connection therewith It shoula be remurked that the president of the committee has ouly been in the employ of the company for the short space of three months, it is belleved that, velpg @ member of the International, he morely came to Cologne in the interest o: the society, and obtained access to the company’s workshops | for tae purpose of corrupting bis feliow labor- ers. The company luvor under the impres- sion that the men in their employ were peace- loving, good-natured eatures, who would never have dared to strike yz the pressure brought trom outsiae. The company, moreover, seem to thing Vnat their meu are not underpaid, in support of which argumeat a statement is publiehed In connection with the requisition referred to, set- {ing 1orth the amount of wages which ihe twenty- three commmitteemen have drawn during the last six mouths. The amount received by each single in- dividual is stated separately, but it is diilicull, of course, to iorm a correct judgment without taking into consideration the pariicularit.es of eaca case, Leaving oul the cases of those men who have not had a full six months employ, it appears that THE DAILY PAY varied ‘rom sixty cents uy ene to et io one case p carpenter had earned on the averagé es cane hn i pet ee ‘months, while a smith made $1 10 during the same period, ut these two cases are eee ro and it 1s cer. in that $1 must be considered the maximum, and few can reach that sam. ‘18 ylew ts borne out by auother siatement which the company add to tne foregoing. It sets iorth the amount jotal paid to 722 meu, inciuiing artisans and laborers, aud shows that per captia the amount paid to each was shori, by @ lew cents, of nineteen dollars per mouth, That sum, J presume, inciudes Sunday labor and overtime; it must also be added that @ certain percentage 1s deducted toward a sick fund, Laat not prepared to say whether the men can subsist on $19 & month, masmuch as vie dd requires a good, healthy physique, __ WHO IS IN THE WRONG? The prices of provisions are unusually nigh this year, and the scarcity of suitabie lodgings tor te working Ciusses has caused a considerable rise tu the rates of house rent. The company lave pub- Mashed the stavements to which I have referred, win the view ot placing the case before the public, and, 80 far as 1 can learn, it 1s generally admiwed that ignified treatment gers; we are unwill- to submit to their tyranuical and aisre: { there is @ raison d'etre which — favors the impression that the men are noc altogether the wrong. The ey onl: objecticnable part ts probably the form in which they have brought forward thelr claims, But then it may be suid, what are the poor mentodo? A railroad comping 1s not usually imbued with an un- limited dose of charity towards is neighbors, and, 80 long as workmen are found willing to work for $1y a month, there ts apparently no reason why the wages should be ratsed. And no doubt plenty of other men can be found willing to accep. work va those terms im the event of the company con- cluaing to discharge the dissatisfied poruon of their stat, it is, however, quite auother thing to go bend the cartain. Let the managers of te road visit the dweilings of then workmen, and, when they have witnessed the misery endured by their fellow creatures, then | am _persaailed they would find that there is ample room for reformag their ways and of revising tue rates of wazes, It the managers possessed that knowiedye they would certainly feel ashamed in appealing to the pubitc tor sympathy im regard to what ticy atlege to be “an- heard of demands” 1 will for a moment suppose that $19 suffices to defray the vost et (00d and clulit ing for a lavorer and his iamiy, and thas, in the case of the unmarried, there ain even a few coppers as pocket money. 1 Wili suppose that to he but thea the question comes up, what ume to allow the man for ine purp of cleauing himself, aud what chances he nas, vodity or meu tally, to enjoy tite. THE STRIKE canses no li'Ue inconvenience and annoyance to tue company. ‘Ic war Nas been the cause of much deteriorating tac roiling stock. For the past tweive Months no repairs, either to freight or passenger cars, have been attended fo.
