At the close the ‘market was quiet but lower. An evening paper says :—“In connection with the Erie specula- ‘tion it is freely reported that Daniel Drew has settled with Messrs. Bischoffshelm and Goldschmidt ‘On his contract for 50,000 shares. The terms are ‘variously stated. According to one account Mr. ‘Drew bought the stock In London at 39, and another authority says that he received a check for ‘ten per cent profit, equal to $600,000." We arein a position to sta te that this is incorrect. ‘Mr. Drew has not compromised upon his contract, mor under existing circumstances is he likely to. ‘The same paper says:—“It is further stated that ‘Bischoffsheim sold 100,000 shares of Erie in London ‘before the settlement of the contract was reported publicly, and that he has bought part of the stock ‘back since at lower prices.” This is an excellent suggestion to put the stogk up, showing that the ehorts are getting frightened, but, in the vernacu- iar of the street, entirely ‘too thin.” Next!

He was subsequently arrested and locked up. The Comptroller's Powers. As before stated, the Comptroller has been em- powered to systematize the bookkeeping in the various departments, He is now proceeding with his work, and has not, as yet, met with any hostility. All the officials seem desirous of co-operating with him in the work. Riley’s Contract. Peter Riley has commenced proceedings against the city to compel the Comptroller to pay his claims for local improvements contracted for prior to May, 1872, the date of the law under which the Comptroller objects to issue bonds. The case will be argued on Monday. Dismissed Clerks Drawing Pay. T. J. Parker, E. J, Boyle and P. H.

The order’ of the Commissioners to the captains of the various precincts last week in regard to the enforcement of the Excise law 1a still in force, with of oMcers in citizens’ dress to visit drinking saloons and stores. That was revoked by the Commission- ers yesterday. The proprietors of a number of lager-beer saloons waited upon the Mayor yester- day in order to see if he could not give therm per- mission to keep their places open. He was unabie, however, to oblige them. Organization of the Board of Education.

Monks, Gaede and Hart, three of the | new Commissioners of Police appointed by Gover- nor Parker in place of the convicted Commissioners of Jersey City, appeared at the City Cierk’s office to take the prescribed oath, but that gentleman refused to swear them in. He states that in this refusal he is acting under the advice of the City Attorney, who takes his stand not simply against the Gov- ernor, but against the Attorney General. The new Commissioners will receive from the Governor dur- ing the ensuing week letters of discharge to be served on the men now retaining the office, and if | they refuse to take ap their beds and walk an extra session of the Supreme Court will be called to drive them out. The Attorney General has the alternative of taking them before the Chancellor on a writ of quo warranto, or before the Supreme Court on an Ses them to show cause. A manda- mus will applied for to compel the City Clerk to administer the oath of office to the members of the new board. The main object of the convicted Commissioners in thus hol Tt possession is to obtain contro! of the ballot Daneaat the Remy cnr oy yaa Sut the exception of that part relating to the detailing | {, | religious teaching and exercises are insuffictent; Conclusion of the State Commis- sioners’ Investigation. RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION Superintendent Jones Vindicated—Interest- ing Testimeny—Shall the Form of Wor- ship at the Refuge Be Changed? The adjournment of the State Commission re- garding tho irregularities of the management of the House of Refuge, from Thursday until yester- day, was most opportune, as it gave the advocates of those who are battling for certain religious privi- Jeges in the institution a chance to present their arguments. Early in the morning Dr. Nathan Bishop and Professor Ordronaux, the two earnest Commissioners, were on hand, and, with President Strong and Managers Ketchum, Herder and Hal- stead, together with Counsel Marrin and McMahon for thé Gatholic community, the assemblage was complete. President Strong introduced the Rev. Dr. Pierce in the matter of continuing the testimony regard- ing religious instruction, who read and subse- quently made explanation regarding the quotea passages in the following letter from Father Duranquet:— St, Faancis Xavtun's Cousa, , } Firrweyti Strent, August 2, 1872. Rey, Dean Sin—Thanking you for the kind manner in which you introduced my leiters in your evidence before the Commissioners, I beg leave to correct one or two of your starements, You stated that in my vislt T “took no exception at the restrictions about administering. the © a Sacrament.” [had wine on your conditions, which, al- though at variance with the usages of my Chureh, I had frankly ace i epted, after due con it might be a’ step to and “some further arrangoment. Under circumstances I felt it would not be right for me to find fault or to raise objections. It does not follow, however, that Ido not find the system objectionable, In fact, in one of the letters [ state expressly that such a de. privation of those sacred rites we look upon as a means of grace is quite objectionable to Catholics. You also went too fur in stating that T was “greatly sue! pleased with the ust of Worship.” 1 was greatly pleased with several things in the House of Retuge, b hot with the Manual of Worship. I think you ny whether I had noticed in the service anything of Catholics, Tmust say I did not. But you should inser that Tam or can be pleased with It, d of Christian worship requires a great deal more, and as long as the children of Uatholics committed by the magis- shave no opportunity of worshupping aeconding to r own religion, nor to be instructed in it, the Catholic community will fel aggrieved and wronged and must struggle for their rights. The grievance isthe more felt and the more outrageous as the Catholic community is the more numerous and the proportion of Catholic children in the institutions larger. ‘he uneasiness of the Catholics must be on the increase as long as the evil is not rem Atthe time when you invited me so kindly a hope ‘oss my mind that the thing might possibly lead ly adjustment of the ditticulty. L regret now hot to have applied directly to the Board for the permis: sion of having separate Catholic service, Under the regulations you ¢ i time that these re were buta very # be altered so ak to ction to such a large por- Hon of the present population as the Catholics are} I regret this question comes up in connection with the sad occurrences of the last months, which, after all, have h the main issue.’ You will always tind y Help for att amlenaie settlement of f yourself or the Commission id think that T could y good dE will di t to cc er yh peaceful conclusion of these uw tribute to ‘ fortis troubles, Very respectfully, FATHER DURANQUE 3.—Thinking that this letter may contain some things the Commissioners would perhaps like tosee, I send them a copy. Dr. PIERCE explained that he did not say that Father Duranquet was greatly pleased with the “Manual of Worship,’ but with the “liturgical ser- vice to which he had listened.” He did not say, as was understood, that Father Duranquet “took no exception at the restrictions about administering the Sacrament,” but that he assured the Catholic priests that they might give any religious instruc- tion, but might not administer the sacrament. FATHER RENAUD was here brought forward, and he read the follow- ing statement, reviewing his statement of Thurs- day last before the Commissioners. It is of much interest GentixMen—Having been called before you last Thurs- day, quite unexpectedly, { tailed to say several things which I would ike to mention now. f first thought to send the present statement to the Hxwatn, but on maturor reflection I concluded that, judging from the way you welcomed me the other day, you would proter to heat by word of mouth from mygelf what I have tosay. If in this paper! should say anything that would seem harsh to any one I would beg him to bear in mind that itis through no personal ill-feolin before you in its true, claims of the Catholic com: @re upon me with the most intent xe regarding religious instruction it ts agers of the said House of Retuge have neglected to provide proper religious instruction for said inmates,” &c. Now the word proper is very vague. It might not be defined in the same way by all parties, If allowed to make a suggestion, the following amendment might convey a more distinct meaning :— “The managers ot the said House of Refuge have neg- lected to provide for the said Inmates the {ull religious Uberty guaranteed by the United States constitution to every American.” President Strong said with respect to this charge — “The form of service which has been adopted by the Manager has been framed with the greatest care, that nothing therein shall offend the religious scruples of any one of the inmates,” &c. Now, gentlemen, this very ex, clusion of the whole truth, (his mere assertion of broad truths (so called) is offensive to Catholics, Cut off any point of the Catholte doctrine and it ceases to be such at once, and the Catholic who protesses this whatever-you- il-it creed has given up his faith and is severed ‘Catholic Church. again said by President Strong that the the House of Refuge would not allow to Catholic children trom the others of instructing them in th . But who made these rules? The manage selves. They can, theretore, change them, and this out any alteration'in the charter of the institution ; for Mr. Strong declared to Dr. Ordronaux that he did not consider change of the charter would be required er the managers to allow the Catholic inmatos the ministrations of their own clergy. Why, then, would they motdo it in a spirit of Christian charity to’ soothe every religious scruple, and in vir‘ue ot that love of lib, erty of whieh every Ainerican is so proud and so jealous? Why not doit for the healthy ay well as for the sickly in- maies of the Refuge?’ Are We to serve God only at the moment of death? Now, with regard to the tree access to the insiftution and even fo its puipit for all Catholie c men, although it is put forth with so much éclat, it amount to from the Catholic standpoint, fl case, they are proibited to teach what their Church teaches and to administer the sacraments, without which t there is no true retormation? that the intercourse of Dr. Pierce with the boys and girls is “or the pleasantext nature,” that he speaks to every one of them he inay chance to meet, that he is repelled ‘by none of them (and it might ‘not be pru- dent tor them to repel him), it dues not follow, Thumb think, that the Catholic inmates like him for ‘their spir- may- from th Tt wi rules of separate tual adviser, and that would not rather have their own clergyman to fulfil this duty. Nay, more; [ fidently assert that ninety per cent of the Cutholic inmates will unhesitatingly say so if they be sumimoned betore this Commbssion, and bw told that they may speak treel withont any fear or danger ot thelr being atterwards made to sutler tor it. Isaw in the Tombs the boys who were taken there after the riot, and they complained of the religious instructions they received. [likewise assert, and that with intimate icuon, that if the Catholi¢e parents of the inmates of the Retug» were brought before youand asked squarely what Church they wish thelr children to attend, “they would perhaps to a man answer, “The ‘Catholic Chureh.” The boy of 1 dpoke on Thursday, and who said hing was objectionable’ in the Retuge but religion, also told me, when I asked him If he would like to step into the hospital and speak to me that he would like it, indeed, but that he feare ment. “Yes,” said [, "Yes? hh hang me up py the thumbs. Ketchum whether [ thought that Catholic preier to see thelr rather than send t thought that thow parents he reterred to were mo} anxious to hinder their children from coming to ih house, than they were anxious to keep them trom the streets, bad company and crime? This captions question I had not foreseen.

Mr. Marvin thes addressed the Commission. He said chat there Wasa great deal of feeling in the Catholic communty regarding the instruction of the children im the Refuge. 1t was above temporal matters—it was the feeling, should their souls be saved? In the consideration of this charge, about religious matters, published in the HERaLp, he wished it to baamended as follows :— * That asto the Catholic children in the Institation, the hat the liberty of conscience of such children is tr. reality fered with, tory upon i necessary aids towards the leading by them of # properlite. In submitting this to the Commission Mr. Mar- vin and General McMahon advised at length that the Catholic chiltren of the institution were de- barred from Catholic religious instruction, and this repressing the liberty of conscience was in direct antagouisn with the liberty which all in this country shoud enjov. This was continued at length, with Mr, Marrin calling a8 witnesses to what id was in accordance with Maller, and their testimony was auch as to bah <2 prefer the mintatrations of the show rieats present religious exercises. luiler thought, howover, that Dr. Pierce was a ‘ man,” and Kelly said he went to the chapel; but he didn’t know what kind of a religious place it was; thought it ‘Protestant half and half,” at which there was much laughter, After this evidence, which fully corroborated the assertions of the lawyers representing the Catholic community, there was a lull in the, proceedings, when Dr. Bishop, on behalt the Com- mission, said in substance that perhaps it was due and deserving at this | time for the good of the institution to say that the charges made against the management of the House of Reiuge were not substantiated. Noth- ing in the voluminous and exhaustive testimony taken was adduced in support of the charges, and Bapasiatendent Jones, who had been as- sailed, hi conducted in all equity the details of the House, not being ey of abusing: the boys or cheating them of their earnings. In this particular they were bound at this early period to express their convictions, But upon the question of @ change in the religious instruction of the House the Commission would long consider before a report was made to tho Legislature, and that should only be when the eleven State Commissioners should have fully con- sidered it. The question was one of vast import- ance, and deserved the most careful reflection. NEWARK CITY FATHERS AT WORK. An Unscrupulous Set of Capitalists Choked Off—Ordering a Gross Fraud to be Paid—Rewarding a Deserving De- tective. 7 At the meeting of the Newark Common Council the night before last several matters of general public interest were disposed of. One related materially to the people and the projectors of the Proposed industrial exhibition, accounts of which have already been printed in the Hgraup. The ex: hibition is to be composed exclusively of Newark's industries and manufactures, and as almost every- thing, from a needle to an anchor, is made in Newark there is no doubt but a handsome show could be gotten up. They are a very economical people, the moneyed men of Newark, and this exhibition being a private enterprise was eagerly taken hold of by @ great many who have great love for seeing themselves paraded in print. But they thought the city ought to he pay the piper, so they had a petition presented to the Coun- oll asking it to appropriate $5,000 for thetr benefit, the city to receive the worth of it in stock, with the understanding that if the enterprise paid the city would get back its money—merely that and nothing more—and if it didn’t the city would have to whistle for its dollars. The matter came up and Was vigorously opposed by Alderman Westervelt on the ground of such an appropriation being without warrant of law. A vote was taken, and he was sustained. In the meantime it is the scandal of the city that ofits hundred and odd wealthy capital- ists not one has spirit enough to spring forward and stand security for the amount, considering that all agree that the enterprise cannot fail Belg asuccess, The whole cost of getting it up will only be about ten or twelve thousand dollars. The } asking the Council to subscribe the people’s money tor such a purpose is regarded by the people as one of the cheekiest things imaginable. A BILL OF “GROSS FRAUD."? A couple of years ago there visited Newark a New Haven fire company. The Newark foreman treated the Nutmegians properly and the Fire Committee of the Common Council gave them a dinner, for which was sent in a bill of $373, When itcame up for settlement it was opposed on the ground that the committee had no right to contract such a bill on behalf of ¢ city. At length on Friday night it was slipped through and ordered to be paid despite the fact that an Alderman pronounced the bill “a gross fraud.” Nothing was said abont the dis- raceful “city docks inspection” jamborees, which to cost the city twice as much money, and which were nothing more than excursions for Aldermen and City Hall leeches, MONEY WELL SPENT. On recommendation of the Finance Committee an appropriation of $250 was made with which to suitably reward Detectives McManus and Becker for accomplishing the arrest of the notorious Carr, Finnegan and Farley, the murderous assailants and robbers of Mr. Bannister, the jeweller. One thousand dollars was voted to Dr. Isaac Nichols also for sixteen years’ services as Health Physician. SNEAK THIEVES ARRESTED, Theodore McBride and George Adler, two young sneak thieves, were arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Murphy and Officer Henderson, of the Eighth precinct, on complaint of Charies Lange, of 95 Prince street, charged with stealing a valise from him, filled with clothing and & coat, all valued at $150. Mr. Lene, states he left the property in his office, and, while temporarily absent, the pris- oners sneaked in and carried it off. On the person of one of them, at the time of his arrest, was found a memorandum book which had been taken from the coat pocket of Mr. Lange. The risoners denied the charge upon being arraigned efore Justice Cox. at Jefferson Market, but were fully committed for trial. The following letter was found in the possession of McBride from one of his pals on the Island, who is desirous of again regain- ing his liberty :— Tke, please to go with this young man and geta boat and come’ up and get me off the Island; he will show you what to do; It's no trouble to do it. You want to bring’ my coatand pants along. No more at present from your triend, BILLY, 58 Bayard street, New York. and MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
