MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. ‘The tameness and sameness which have prevailed around the pubiic offices during the past few days ‘Was somewhat rel'eved yesterday, There was some- ‘thing for “the boys’ to talk about—Tweed’s proba- ble expulsion from the Tammany Society, or rather his removal from the post of Grand Sachem; Hall's expulsion from the Union Club, the poor laborers’ ‘and inspectors’ threats against Green and the probar bilities of Connolly’s release from Lualow Street Jail, Each one of these formed a topic for discus- sion, and the crowds of idlers who throng the base- ment of the new Court House created their Uicories And paseed their comments on the present sitnauon and probable events 1m political circles, TRE REFORMERS Were spoken of in no measured terms, and from ‘he conversations held by those who simply echo the opipions expressed vy others it would seem that the “new departurites” are having a warm time among themselves. Every one wants to be a Jeader, and, of course, they cannot all be leaders, The “boys” are in @ ead plight as to whether Shey should join the reformers or await a reor- ganization of ‘Tammany all, and many seem crore = et a Wo thik init Sy" tis Saag’ cisetion, snowa there oe one, the reformers will be so badly divided as to insure a republican victory in the city. There were a few around the:public oftices yesterday, however, who are among the real work- tng leaders of the reform democracy, and they Were exceedingly sanguine as to the results of their continued action, ‘They claimed that they are now reorganizing and have their plans so perfected ‘that they cannot help being victorious In their fu- ture campaigns, But, through all these diverse ylews, there leaked ovt a feeling of distrust fnd disgust in relation to the present style of man- Aging the city and county flnancea, ‘This fact was Very ampiy demonsirateu yesterday AT THE COMPTROLLER’S OFFICR, ‘where @ crowd of laborers and inspectors assem- bled, ana headed by a strapping, stalwart and de- Mermine‘l-looking man, declared that they must be paid, They had been given to understand that $here Was money enough tO pay them, and their Tamilies were actualiy starving and suffering from the intensity of the weather. The money was dne fhem and they did not intend to brook delay any longer merely to gratify any personal or political Spite or technical estoppel. That they were excited fo aD mordinate acgree was very evident and @ squad of police was called in to clear the office, ‘The police oflicers were very humane, showed that they sympathized with the men, but must, never- theless, do their duty. The crowds retired, ana shortly alter it was reported that Comptrolier Green had given orders to Mr. Cady, Clerk of Arrears, to ‘pay those whose accounts were found to be correct. uring the day, however, crowds of tmpecunious jce-holders continved to call and throng the pas- pageways, hoping, nO doubt, © yet & chance to im- pica, on the now overburdened Comptroller the ex- jing Justice of their claims and the flerce extent of thelr necessities. Beyond— this matters in we fice Went On as usual, and the immense business er the department was performed behind the desks im the ordinary quiet and regularity. AT THE MAYOR'S OFFIOR there waa in the eariy part of tne day a great deal of anxfety and excitement consequent on the report that the idayor nad been Oe from the Union lub. Cardozo and Ed, Hall interviewed Colones Toline, and he, 1 turn, interviewed others, as to the robability of such action having beca taken; but Ri were equally in doubt until the jolly-faced Alderman Jerome had been interviewed, and his Bee obtained, in his own forcible style, to @ effect that the report was a decided truth. Imduetime the Mayor himself arrived, And he stated that he had seen the report, and nad catiea at the Union Club bouse to find il there were pny trath in it; that he had been informed no such action had been tuken and no such action was pontemplated, This stavement of courge satisie the seekers: after informat Jon, and was guickly sent abroad, Further than this nothing of moment travspired at this office, except that a large num- ber of warrants were received from the Department of Finance for the Mayor's signature, AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS mere was the usual crowa of all sorts and sizes Waiting to see the “Boss” on all sorts of snbjects, te grand Tycoon sat at his desk, disposing of the siness belore him with«bis accustomed pusuing sang-froid, received the callers and interviewers, and seemed as happy and as Ls) as if the wheel of fortune, personal ani poiltical, had not taken buch serious revolutions as have lately ascounded the entire public.

Winter Reception at the Association Butldings The artiste of the association Building formally announced their return to town and labor by an in- vitation extended to thelr friends and patrons to visit them in their pleasant studios in Twenty- third street, on yesterday between the hours of one and six P, M. Owing to the threatening state of the weather in the forenoon the visitors assembled rather slowly, but as the day advanced a numerous and brijliant company appeared on the scene. The Jasies were out in great force with their cunning winter costumer, which render them absolutely dangerous to gentie- men of impressionable natures. Looking at the number of pretty faces and bright eyes that were “turned on the artists, especially the good-looking ones, we really felt something akin to pity, not un- tnged by envy, for the poor gentiemen exposed without sheiter to @ continual fire of bright looks and tngenuons questions from their host of fair visitors, There was certainly beauty enough pres- ent to furnish to the artists INSPIRATION FOR A LIFETIME, ft was very pleasant to note the intense Interest taken by the visitors In the various works, and the remarés thut we could not neip hearing displayed not @ little judgment in the bestowal of praise. The appearance presented by the building was most animated, and every few minutes added to the interest of the scene. Since the Jast reception an elevator has been con- structed, and the visitors were spared the fatigue of mounting Iinterminabie stairs, an im- provement upon which they were not slow to com. iment their artist friends. According to the show- gg Of the easels the summer months have been well employed, aud if the matter of pleasant aud strike Ing sketches there was an absolute embarras de richesse, All: Kings of nooks and dells had been explored by the enterprising search- erg after the beautiful, and the reguit was seen in aketches of _—_ remarkabie delity 10 nature, which promises, ander judicious andliug, to grow ioto interesting landscapes. Mr, D. Johnson spent his summer about Lake George, and scems to have exhausted the views; but as he returned very late he has made no progress in utilizing his sketches ag yet. Many of tne other gentiemen are in ihe same position, Mr. Kensett and Mr. Hart had quite tittle Galleries of thelr own, made up Qi several years’ sketches, with some’ of thelr more important works Interspersed, Mr. Brevoort has justcompleted a large painting of a scene m Gloucester harbor, with a sunligut eifect on some rocks in the foreground Which deserves attention, A landscape with th foreground in deep shadow and DRIFTING MASBIVH CLOUDA, Which {8 strong: ain’ and possesses much depth alid force ot pio , pieased us, perhaps, best. mong the i ished pictures Hs unt Phiitp,”? by i Robt ia ate yyes clogs pt of nature find a siniplé force in the ¢ tion Which lends it a eullar char The technicat treatment 18 aiso very good, displaying Sonsigefaule power f et Hou, & R, Guttord oe ey PODGYe AD!

Anticipating the deciston of the unscorched Tam- mauyites, and those who, though scorched, hide their wounds and with Spartan courage stand ready to renew une fight for place and plunder, two sensa- tional morning papers yesterday announced that, at amecting of the Tammany Sachems, it was re- solved to onst the late Boss and present dispenser of patronage Mm the Department of Public Works from his Inerative position as high cockalorum of the Fonrteenth strect municipal tribe of sayages. Their two penny whistles sounded the note or alarm in the Tammany camp, whic Was greatly demoralized yesterday.

Ninth Ward Council Meeting—Address Messra. E. C. Benedict and Stepben Pe! The Ninth Ward Council of Political Reform, com- posed mainly of men who previous to the last elec- tion had taken no part whatever in poiltics, met last night in Lebavon Rall, Hudson street. While Walting for the oMicers to arrive the members openly discussed the probable guilt or innocence of Messrs, Tweed, Connolly, Garvey & Co., of the charges now pending against them; also the proba bilities of the arrest of Ingersoll and Woodward, who, it was said, had been here in this city while the Sheriff and his deputies were tooking for them. It Was thought that tne Sherif’s deputies were not very anxious to arrest those notorious peculators, else they might have done 80 before, The address of Samuel J.

The pantomime 1s (@ly a most wonder- ful combination of innocent humor, delightlul acenic effects, {airy pictures, versatile talent and grotesqueness, and its name will doubtless be re- membered in years to come, when perhaps it may be no easy task to present a more complete or enjoy- able entertainment.

In the role of Marie, the young vivandiere, Mile. Duval eclipsed all her previous efforts, and displayed to tne fullest advantage her decided merit as a sparking comedienne, eliciting throughout the warmest approbation from an audience that heartily appreciated all the little pleasing peculiarities of the French school, of which the lady 1s a fair representative. Her earnest and artistic rendering of the famous “Vive la France” was enthusiastically encored. M, Capoul was quite at home in the character of Tonio, which he person- ated with becoming grace and spirit, and imparted to ita refreshing energy rarely infused by the ma- jority of artists who assume the part. Old sergeant Surplice had a capital representative in Mr. Jamet, and What litte there was to be done he performed uke atinished actor. La Marquise de berkenfleld was sustained by Mme.

Thomas McGit, John Shandtey and Michael Weldon, who were Inspectors and canvassers of eleetion in the First district of the sixth ward of Brooklyn, were tried in the City Court, before Judge McCue, yesterday, on the charge of having | yisor of the ward, Thomas Keating, placed bogus names on the poll lists and stuffed the ballot boxes, The court room was densely crowded by spectators, among Whom were many politicians and ofiice-notders, District Attorney Samuel ), Morris and Mr, A. ©, Davis (who ia the counsel for the Reform Committee and also {s assisting Mr. Morris In fhe dnyestigation of the Jyands) ap- peared for the peoplo, wiule Mr, D.

THE DISTRICK ATTORNEY'S OPENING. District Attorney MouRis then proceeded to open the case. He saia:— Af the Court please, gentlemen of the jury, the defendants are charged with having falsely, fraudu- Jently and knowingly put a large number of ballots into the boxes kept for tiat purpose at the First Election district of the Sixtil ward. ‘They were lu- spectors there and acied as inspectors at that poll.

And the poll list, I think, will reveal this fact that very few have omtited to vote the State ticket according to the checking. Well, the fact of this number ot votes. 9 Votes On the State ticket and 1,873 for the Assembly ticket -was calculated to arouse suspiciou, It was al enormous increase ofthe vote and it was a very large vote to be polled in @ single district.

The poll lists were taken to the canyassers in the Common Council chamber and when they were returned the First district of the Sixth ward was missing.

The Jury smiled, and Den- ny McNamara looked relieved. - Mr. Morris offered tn evidence the oaths of ofice — of the delendants, ee tite _ BOTRAVISOR THOMAS KEATING swore that the returns from the district in qnestion were deitvered to him the morning after Glection by MoGifl; witness did not have the poll list nor dia he see MeGid haye it, A POLICEMAN WHO NOTICED NOTHING EXCEPT THAT THERE WAS A BIG CROWD VOTING, Policeman Lanule, who was at the polls during the day and during the [cahibwn testified that he did not know who signed the poll list aud returns; he | Was there at the opening of the polls, and the three Inspectors were there and remaimed curing the day; Witness (lid not see apydiing «uring the day that attracted his astention eacept that he noticed that there was a big crowd voting: he was standing in @ position where he cold hear the names of tho Pocere piven but did not notice them; he nouced that the voting slacked of several times during the day for a perlod of two or threc minutes each time: were written in a clean, untform hana precsely as though they had been copied continuously right along. And another peculiarity which 1 venture to say won't be found in'any other disirict or any wacre else, a fact that has never occurred vefore, and, I trust, will never occur again, 15 that those frst 600 names voted the entire eight ickers, There ie not @ single ballotomitted. And after the handwriting changes the voting change3. There is au occasional omission to vote @ ticket; there is an omission to vote some one of the iiekets. That change com- meaces when the character of the handwriting im the poll list changes, Now, it ts simp'y sell-evident, gentlemen, and upon that subject 1 don’t apprehend that you will require one moment for reflection or cousideration, that there were 500 names in advance of the commencement of the voting there tant morn- ing written upon the poll list; it is a fact that can- not be gainsaid, and that those 600 ballots got into that box somehow fraudulently is a fact that cannot be disputed. It 18 not fer us to prove—we may not be able to prove—the precise manner in which they were put in the box, but that they were put in the box Is a fact that will be demonstrated beyond any question. We will show you, gentlemen, that parties came there and voted before seven o'clock in the morning. One of them voted and returned home before seven o ciock in the morning, liv.ng not very tar from the poling place am Atlantic street. One of them was there befure the poll was opened, and he thiuxs he was the filth person that voted, and his name stands 605 upon the poll list; and there ts a person who voted before seven o’clook, and who met the person who voied filth coming out from the polling place, and hig name stands some 619; and he voted before seven o'clock in the morning. We are not expected, gentlemen, to bring witnesses Who were present wher thls fraud was perpetrated, Who were there when these names were written upon the pol list, We are not expected to bring witnesses who were there present and saw them write these pames upon the list. It is. sufficient for us Lo show by such facts and circumstances that it was done, and it is for them, when we have poinied out these facts, when we have shown these facts— it is forthem to show that there was no fraud per- petrated there, because our case will have been, prina J/aciv, Made out, 1 don't know exactly how this thiog was done, but I have # pretty good idea of it, I think ft was done something like this: ‘rhe names npon the poll list were written before the olis opened that morning, ‘that part of the iraud had been prepared in advance, (here 18 no ques- Uon about that.

Policeman Boyle was the first witness called by Mr. Morris.

On being cross-examined witness stated that McGiff put the ballots in the boxes, and that n A not see avy put in except those given by voters; Weldun was not there, whea the polls opened. WHAT A POLL CLERK DID. Matihew McKenna swore that te acted as poll clerk during a part of the day and signed four lists, two of which he returned to the City Clerk’s OMice, and gave the other two to one McGuire, to be left at the County Clerk’s Ofllee; he tlrougiit it was about twelve o'clock when he took charge a3 pull clerk; he was appomted the night before, and could no! get there in the morning; he did pot know how Many names there were on the list when he took hold; he took charge of tho lists that night, and took those he did to the City Olerk’s OMce about ten o’ciock the next Moraing; the polls were hed at his place. The cross-examination revealed the fact that the Treason witness was not there in the morning was that he had to serve a newspaper route; early if the morning he went there to take out # pane of giags in the front door, and all the inspeotors,were there; the boxes had been jest in his sore over night, and nO one had access to them; he sald that he did not write anything before he got back irom serving his route; witness had been &@ poll clerk before. and ‘was of tue opinion that the voilng on that day was quicker than at any previeus election; McGuff sealed the boxes at the Close of the polis at the re- quest of Weldon (the republican inspector); none but votes ta the boxes were counted, ‘The witness, in reply to Mr. Morris reatrect, said ‘that be appointed ALDERMAN DUNNE AS _UIS SUBSTITUTE as poll clerk during his absence in the moroing; wituess Was not sworn ag poll clerk, and did pot know whether Alderinan Dunne was or not; in fact he did not kuuw whetuer anybody was sworn In as elerl Wilitam McGulre, who ts deputy keeper of the Otty Dail, tesutied that on tne morutug afier the election McKenna gave him a package of papers to take to the Connty Clerk's office, and he denvered them as he received them.
