Iat once saw that he iatended something or other, for outside the house I found two officers waiting for me, They joined us, and when about forty yards irom a low, gloomy looking butiding, they informed me that General Nouvilas had ordered my immediate arrest and strict con- finement, 1knew1it was no good parleying with subordinates, so I simply satd, ‘Very well; tell General Nouvilas that I hold him responsible tor tuts outrageous conduct, and that, though I can well understand his annoyance, he cannot an- nihilate Carlism in a week, still that is no reason why he should imprison a correspendent oj the New York HERALD, Who has been on parole for more than a fortnight, It is contemptible conduct on his part.

Writing a short note to the Governor I sent him the telegram and begged him kindly to tell me the reasons of my arrest, as I myself was utterly un- aware of them. So was the Governor, evidently, for half an hour later an adjutant came with my telegram in his hand and told me that I was at Miverty. Clearly my incarceration was merely A PIECE OF SPITE ON THE PART OF GENERAL, NOU- VILAS, and I am told, that when he heard I was on parole, he exclaimed, “What! an Englishman on parole! Of to prison with him!’ Whether he said so or not, the fact remains the same. A correspondent of the New York HeRacp had been incarcerated in a filthy dungeon for no reason whatever; and although it was only for eighteen hours after having been on parole for sixteen days, during whichI might have escaped twenty times. The next day Iwent to obtain my passport, but was told I should have to wait a few days before it could arrive from Madrid. This I had no idea of doing; so I demanded a passport from the military authorities to proceed to Bayonne.

For the past few weeks the people have been | much disappointed in not having music tn Central | Park Ana the smaller parks of the city, as in former | years, The weather has been hot enough te com- | te pelan exodus from awellings when the noonday heat abated, and as the parks are the only resource left for those who seek a breath of fresh air they become a necessity for nearly all classes of citizens, but especially for working people.

Whether wight or wrong, the loss of the cheerful mnsical strains has been generally crea- ited to @ Mean penuriousness on the part of some of the city authorities, who are re- sponsible to the public for many such delinquencies, In order to ascertain how matters stood at the Park Commissioners’ office, a HERALD reporter cailed yesterday on Commissioner Salem H.

NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET, FLEETWOOD PARK. Opening Day of the Spring Trot- ting Meeting. Grand Attendance, Charming Weather and Good Track. Sea geearaeeieaail Winthrop Morrill, Jr., the Wianer of the 2:50 Purse and Sensation the 2:23 Race. The Spring trotting meeting of the Fleetwood Park Association opened auspiciously yesterday aiternoon at their pleasant track near Morrisania. The day was bright, breezy and eiectrical—just tuat character of weather that suits to a charm the thousands hereabouts when they wish w patronize the race track. Urdinarily the beauty of the day and the charming landsvape would have drawn a crowd respectable in numbers, but with large fields of horses and many well matched in the matter of speed the attraction was quite suficient to bring tegether an immense assemblage. And, consequently, at three o’clock, according to the estimate of good judges, there were on the Grand Stand about the Club House, and on the lawn two thousand spectators. The scene just before the beil brought the horses on the track for the inaugural event was pleasant in the extreme. The stand wag well fillgd from end to end with defighted and interested men, while many pretty women occupied the choice seats set apart for them, their fair eyes and radiant faces growing enthusiastic at the beauty of the ani- mated picture pufolded at their feet, The Club House, too, accommodated hundreds, and the seats of honor on the balcony were occupied with ladies radiant in toilets mech in every hue of tie rainbow. Scores of carriages filed the stalls and sheds under the hii, and hundreds were aligned in the fleld, some of their owners choosigg the latter Place to observe the forthcoming confests, and, to compieie the pretty picture, Morrisania, opposite the track, and embowered by trees im exquisite foliage, seeuied very picturesque, serving as a panorama, aed At the old cottage near the entrance to the track were found around countless veteran turf. men, and for once the conversation between them Was devoid of harshness, yet these groups, with the lounging stable boys beyond, formed interest- ing objects of observation, The pool-seller, Baker, With the attentive McGowan to take charge of the rolls of greenbacks at his side, lost but little time in commencing business early in the day, and long before the horses were on the track the betting fraternity had deposited very many doilars on their favorites, and, judging from the grin on their faces, each and every one were satisfled with their investments and opinions, evidently being certain that they nad ‘a sure thing.” As it resulted, the favorites in both contests proved the winners, aud those not in the neighborhood of the pool stand can form an estimate of the valae set upon the respective entrics by the annexed figures: —In the 2:50 race, before the start, Winthrop Mor- ill, Jr., Drought. $200; Tip Allen, $85; Ben Smith, $22; Fan sborn, $23; the te 10, After the first heat Winthrop Morrill, Jr., $200; the fleld $75. In the 2 purse Sensation brought $200; Whit- man, $130; the field, $50, When the amusement was over the thousands that had made merry their hearts on the track jogged leisurely down Central avenue, and thence along the exquisite drives uf, the Park during the hour of twilight, aud gleeful voices told the story of acharming time experienced on New York's favorite trotiing course, THE TROTTING. ——-—_—— The first event of the day was for a parse of $300, for horses that had never beaten + $550 to the first, $150 to the second and $100 to the third horse; mile heats, best three in tive, in harness, For this there were sixteen entries, comprising M.

As the Roard had not been fully | organized it was plain that it would not be proper for some of the Commissioners to assume responsi- | bility without the concurrence of the full Board, and thus the working of the Board was, so to speak, at a standstill, Yesterday morning, at the very rst mecting of the Board, the subject of music tn | the parks Was discussed, and arrangements were ordered to be made at ouce by which the public | Shall no ionger be deprived of the customary Sum- mer enjoyment, Next week there will be music in | Central Park and in some of the other parks in the down town part of the city.

There they remained until 1808, when the Tammany Society took the matter in hand, gathered the remains up and determined to entomb them, The ceremony took place with grand civie honors uuder the auspices of the society, and in plain but neat coMns the bones were consigyed to their mausoleum, where for sixty-flve years they rested. The tomb was situated on a small triangular piece of ground on Hudson avenue, against the Navy Yard Wall, opposite Front street. For years past this Spot was neglected, and it was certainly a disgrace to the city. The small covering over the tomb fell into decay, the doors were broken and the boys of the Fifth ward were 1n the habit of playing “hide and fo seek” among the coffins, Finaily Mr. John Pyburn, the preseut Excise Commissioner, purchased the adjoining property, and, with gener- ous thoughttulness, spent some time in. looking alter and protecting this neglected and outraged tomb. The coming in the tomb stood upon their ends, and were represented to contain the bones ofthe martyrs of eleven of the thirteen original Stutes as follows :— : QA er ae eere rene ReLOLELE LE EE DEIEIEPEIE DORE IEDEEEIDIE® 2 NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The proceedings were unusually decorous yesterday, however, though not lacking wit or sprightliness, ‘The President of the College opened the proceed. ings by an address of welcome to the alumne, in which he took occasion to laud most highly the plan of education tor women pureaed at Rutgers, and to urge upon the alumnw the necessity of that “anconscious education’? which society gives, and which in all ages has given to wo- man @ power, not only in the friendly circles, but in the State. He believed that for this reason the thorough education of woman was more necessary than of young men, for while the latter go iresh from their classics and the.r rhetoric into. the streets and the markets of. executive business, the woman, by her influence in society, and in her mission of rearing the young, exercised a great power over the future of the nation. He cited the act that MacMahon, according to the reports of the day, was chosen President of France, not be- cause Of any great confidenve the men of the Right placed ‘n him, but because they felt the great in- fluence which his wife and his mother-in-law wielded with him. The college was flourishing so far as educational results were con- cerned, but it was somewhat deficient in finances, and he asked. the alumnw# there present not to forget that fact. The address of the President was followed by an address be- fore the Class Society, by Miss Carrie A. McAllister, A.M, @ graduate of the class of '68, Which was muen jauded. Miss Pauline Seligman read a history Of ‘the graduating cluss, and Miss Amanda. M. Smith recited the accustomed Frophecy, Bentocks. out of Imported Camilli oa of Victo- ps Te ledora) by King Tom.

The New indictments—Comanm and Nor- ton Walk Up to the Captain's (Phillips) Office aud Find that They Cannot Give Bail Until the Warrants are Issued on Monday—Some of the Indicted Persons— A Singular Interview with Assistant District Attormey Alien—Are the Indict- ments Being Held Over Certain Per- sons for Political Effect ? ‘The excitement about the City Hall over the Tumored indictments of a number of persons con- nected with the city and county government for frauds, forgery and other crimes, increases rather than diminishes the longer the delay in conduct- ing the proceedings against the parties. The ex- citement, which for three days has been great, culminated yesterday when ail the papers, with the exception of the H&RALP, announced that the indictments were against Mr. Wiillam M. Tweed, while the HERALD gave the names exclusively of ex-Alderman Cuman and ex-Senator Norton and pretty pointedly pointed to others who are under surveillance. Few placed much faith in the wild rumors that Tweed and his crowd were the real parties indicted, and the HERALD’s version was generally accepted as the more reliable one. So it was proved to the politicians when, at ten minutes to two o'clock, Mr. Coman, accompanted by Morgan Jomes and anotner surety, entered the YACHTING. The First Annual Regatta of the Long Island Yacht Club. A PRETTY RACK IN A LIVELY BRELZE. tee ss The Sloops J. T. Seagrave, Brooklyn, Emily P. and Short Branch Win the First Prizes in Their Re- spective lasses. The first annual regatta of the Long [sland Yacht Club was sailed yesterday over their regular re- gatta course, and, aided by good weather, proved @ decided success, This club was organized last Fall, and has already a membership of 120 owners and a fleet of over thirty sloop rachts. The head- quarters of the club are at the Short Branch House, @ pleasent little establishment on Gowanus Bay, kept by one of the officers of the club, Rear Oom- modore Frank Bates. The weather yesterday waa charming, and shortly after ten A. M. a large feet District’ Attorney's: oMfee, and the accused, ap- } Of sloops were skimming over the bay under the proaching Assistant District Attorney Allen, re- marked :— “Mr, Allen, ‘understand that there ts a ramor that I have been indicted. I am here with my bondsmen to qualify.” Mr. ASUsRN—I am not responsible for rumors, Mr. Coman—Well, Ilearu there is an indictment against me'from Mr. Sparks, and 1 am ready tojus- tify, Mr, ALLEN—You will be notified when wanted, _Mr, Coman hesitated moment, and finally Tes, tired without Justifying, “"SSg ark Ge «> The HERALD reporter learned that the reason why Mr. Coman’s bail was not accepted is that the bench warrants have not yet been issued,. The Qourt of Oyer and Terminer has adjourned uniit Mondaj, Aild {t 4s not likely that Judge Davis will sign the bench warrants until that day, uniess an emergency may arise to justify the District Attor- ney in acting at once. Meanwhile the accused par- ties will be kept under surveillance. On Tuesday, it is said, a number of police officers in citizens’ clothes were detailed for this purpose, The best information obtained by tne HEALD re- porter justifies the belief that the offences cover frauds in the County Court House, as well as street openings and other city matters. It was yesterday stated publicly that, besides Norton and Comans, Commissioners of the new Court House, John Walsh and Ingersoll, were indicted, and that, among the others, are J. B. Young, late Clerk of the Board of Supervisors; Corneltus Corson, an ex-Commissioner of Police, an ex-police oftictal tnd a Police Justice, connected with a District Court Constraction Commission. Later in the day rumor addea the names of Henry Smith, President of the Police Board; Justices McQuade and Porter, of the Harlem Court House Commis- sion; Commissioner of Public Works George W. Yan Nort, and lesser lights of the republican and democratic parties. The Sheriff's oftice was besieged by runners and Politicians anxious to learn the latest develop- nents, but the Order of Arrest Clerk Jarvis sweat in his shirt sleeves, and to at inquiries reterred the parties to superintendens Matsell, remarking that he had learned that that official would execute all warrants. Sheriff Brennan expressed his ae ‘at the prospect: that his officers were not ikely to have the disagreeable duty of making the arrests, the more so trom the fact that they had never been ‘paid for their services in previous ring cases, With a view of obtaining something | reliabie, and, if possible, contradicting faise rumors, about. iitteen ininutes before four P.M. the Hera. re- = entered the District Attorney's office and found Assistant Allen enjoying a cigat on the sola, Here was an opportunity not to be lost, when the courteous Allen could be attacked on the front, flanks and rear, and the reporter led the assault rN “Mr. Allen, sorry to trouble you again. Rumor Says that gentlemen nigh in authority are among the indicted persons, Ihave a lst here. You, [ know, cannot say wi are indicted, but you ean enable me to say Who, are nol, that 1 may contra- dict rumors.’? Vell,” said Mr. Allen, “who are they?” ank Smith is said te:be one.” ‘You may deny that. He is not in the list!’ ‘commissioner Van Novs?"" he is not.” «Judge McQuade?” “He is not included.’ ‘How about Ingersoilr”’ “I cannot say.”” “And Joe Young, ex-Clerk of the Board of Super. visors. I un lerstand he ts indicted? “I have not heard it.” “Then,” said the reporter, “1 am glad I can con- | tradict the rumor; but let me again ask, are these persons indicted for trauds on the city or county’? Both,” said Mr, Allen. (After.@ pause), Charles nu was indicted, | hi you have heard:” es.) ell, I have got some negative information, and I shall use it, But they say at the Comptrol: Jer’seffice that Hank Smith was indicted, “tis notso. There are but two persons know who | are indicted—the District Attorney and myself— and Isuppose if Mr. Phillips was asked to write outa list he could not do it irom memory.”’ “They say, also, that the warrants will likely be executed to-night!” “Well, I say they will not; that no warrants have | yet been signed.” “Well, I suppose # makes but little difference; none of them will run away.” Mr..ALLEN (laughing) —Well, if I was in the place of some of them I would leave. pat the way,” said the reporter, as he prepared to retire, “have any inore of them been around to enter into bonds *"” “T understand that Mr, Norton called.” This was the result of the attack upon the assist- | ant of the District Attorney, made systematically and by gradual approaches, and further informa- tion. Was sought ouiside. AJl the politicians were on the qui vive of exeitement, and many openly declared that they suspected that the deiay in the execution of the warrants was to terrify certain persons.iuto yielding certain points to the party in ower, Timothy J. Campbell seemed to enjoy the joke, and thought it about time somebody went for the little fishes, after they had failed to harpoon the great “Big Six’? whale and the aturgeons in- dicted with him. Matthew T. Brennan being out of this political pool, all eyes are now turned upon George W. Matsell to see what he will do about it.
