NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS. Second Day of the Races. EXTRAORDINARY RUNNING. Three Grand Events and Four Dead Heats. Bingaman the Winner of the Mile and a Quarter Dash, Village Blacksmith of the Two-Mile Heats and Wheat- ly of the Selling Race, The second day of the fall meeting of the Prospect Park Fair Ground Association may be regarded as one of the most remarkable events in the annals of the American turf. Better racing bas never been witnessed in this country, if the closeness of each contest be considered. Dead heats formed the rule, not the exception, on this extraordinary occasion. Even in the two-mile beats, in which Village Blacksmith was the victor, the contest was so close that many of the spec- tators at a distance from the judges’ stand were puzzled to find out the winner. The most promi- nent sporting men present emphatically declared that there was never such racing, even on any other course in the world. The attendance was much larger than on the first day, and the excite- ment of the most intense kind, Clouds lowered over the course early in the afternoon, but as the sun declined towards the horizon they cleared away until naught was leit but a serene, beautiful sky. From the upper piazza of the elegant club house the scene was one to enlist the attention and in- terest of the dullest mind. North and west the view was bounded by a segment of the ocean and its mirror-like surface was dotted with white winged crait and smoky steamers. Around the course were vistas of tarms and cosey little home- steads and superb drives stretching away in the distance towards the City of Churches, THE CONEY ISLAND CARS are not calculated to create a feeling of pleasure fn the mind o the visitor to the Fair grounds. They are notoriously slow, hardly beating the time made in the celebrated race be- tween the hare and tortoise, and they are generally crowded to an uncomfortable extent, babies and Market baskets forming no small proportion of their freight. When the last car arrived at the road leading to the course yesterday, just beiore the first race began, a party of ten got into one of those pecullar looking vehicles for which Long Isi- and isso famous, The driver and proprietor, con- stituting the same individual, was a veteran of - many winters, and the flery steed that comprised his stock in trade might have served in the Revotu- tion so far as looks (he was blind of an eye) and it went. He would be an interesting study to jose Who are anatomically inclined. Around him whirled equipages of all Kinds, and a buzz of un- complimentary remarks was in his ears, But the old hero staggered along under his load and saiely Geposited it at the gate of the course witha sigh Of relief thet threatened to be his last breath, ON THE COURSE, Sporting celebrities were in the ty around the pools, some listening with cager attention to the insinuating tones of the auctioneer and others venturing their littie “pile” in the French quarter. A colored spendthrift, whose curled locks were well frosted with age, was perplexed on the track th the constant succession of undecided races, His remarks were sad, but emphatic. “I clar ef they ain’t gone and done it again. Dar’s no use in foolin’ around dis track when dere’s no winner.” The attenuated forms of the jockeys, in their variegated livery, moved thro! the crowd, ob- jects of as much interest as the blanketed horses Bnd of as much anxiety to the owners who were represented in the race. The attendants who took the horses in charge after each race, armed with buckets, sponges and bottles, had their say, too, on the various events of the meeting. The persistency with which the gallant little chestnut colt, Mart Jordan, held his own against the five-year-old Bimgamin through three heats, barely vanquished in the fourth, elicited the utmost enthusiasm. ‘The two jockeys who rode in this re- markable race, Hughes and Hayward, both im- portations from England, were cheered for the Bkill and pluck they exhibited. But the prettiest might ever seen on a course was at the finish of the first of the two-mile heats. Four horses came up the boppestretch abreast with the regu rity of the front file of a crack cavalry regiment, and, as they id under the judges’ stand, a blanket might ve covered them all, so close were they ete T. The bold stand made Haye O'Neill in the last race against the favoril heatley, was another surprise to all present. It may be @ long time before such a sight willbe seen again on @ race sourse—three events and cight distinct races. The sun had well sunk towards his western couch when Mart Jordan relinquished the contest, and the races were over. Then there was an array of 3 ages nd vehicles of all kinds, en route ior the y, o jose Who were vehicleless “let out” for the Coney Island cars. THE (RACING. The weather yesterday afternoon was delightfal, and the track being in excellent condition grand sport was anticipated, but nothing like what came off. A better day’s racing was never witnessed in America, and it is extremely doubtful if three more closely contested races ever took place on an Eng- Ush racecourse. Three dead heats occurred in a mile and three-quarter dash, making seven miles for the horses to run, and ina mile and a quarter dash there was another dead heat. The first heat ofa two-mile heat every beholder pronounced a ead neat, except the judges, between those of the feading horses; and taking the sport from begin- ming to end it was simply grand. ‘The first race was for a purse of $400 for all ages; $300 to the first and $100 to the second horse; one mile and three-quarters. For this event were en- tered John Coffee's gray colt by Lightning, dam Jessamine Porter, three years old ; D. Buckley's chestnut mare Chickabiddy, by Australian, dam Kate Hayes, six years old; R. W. Walden’s bay colt Utica, by Lexington, dam Kitty Clark, three years old; M. H. Sanford’s prown horse Bingamin, by Asteroid, dam Bay Leaf, five years old; and J, F. Wilson & Co.’s chestnut colt Mart Jordan, by Revolver, dam Mattie C. Bingamin, was a great favorite over the fleld, in some instances two toone. Pools were sold with- out him, when Chickabiddy had the call over the field, Bingamin and Mart Jordan made a dead heat, and the trial between them for the purse was passed over until the other events on the card came off, when they were called on to decide the matter and they had another run. The judges again declared the affair a dead heat, and they had to try conclusions again. A third time the judges declared a dead heat, and once more the horses had to come to the post to decide which was the longest liver. Bin- gamin finally won the best and most closely con- Vested race that ever came off in this country. The second event on the card was @ purse for $800 tor all ages; $600 to the first and $200 to the second horse; two-mile heats, There were eight entries for this affair, six of which came to the it, These were John a cha black geldin, Sane by woo _— om aie we jones jue's gray filiy Lizzy Lu y Australian, dam Eagles, ‘thres yeury old; M.-H.

Lawrence's chestnut horse Village Blacksmith, by Vandal, dam Cholera, Mildew was the favorite, Warlike being second in favor, Alter the first heat, which was awarded to Mildew, he became the javorite over the fleld at odds. He was dis- tanced in the second heat by Viliage Blacksmith, and, all the other horses in the race having to go to the stable, Village Blacksmith had no horse to run against and was then deciared the winner of the race. The judges awarded second moisey to Warlike. Village Blacksmith made a capital race, ‘and was finely ridden by Barbee, who has perfect control over the horse. Village Blacksmith always had a temper, and many times has shown it when not in good hands; but when managed he is a good Face horse, ‘The iast event of the day was a selling race for all 8 for a purse of $400, the winner to be sold for $750; if entered to be sold for $500, allowea 5 pounds; for $300, 10 pounds; for $200, 14 pounds; any surplus over stated selling price to go to the second horse; one and a quarter miles. There were six entries for this affair, four 0! which came to the post. These were John Boughram’s chest- nut colt Camden, by Bulletin, dam by Leviathan, 5 ad old, to be sold for $200, carrying 100 pounds; Walden’s chestnut colt Liverpool, by Planet, dam Novice, s years old, to be sold for $750, 9 pounds; J, F. berlin’s chestnut colt Wheatly, atetos. jell-and Wheatly made s dead heat at had to ron again and the purse.

The start was a capital one, Coffee having a neck the best of it, Mart Jordan second, Utica third, Chickabiddy ‘fourth, Bingaman fifth. At the half mile pole Mart Jordan was a neck 1n front, Coffee second, two lengtls ahead of Utica, the latter two lengths in advance of Bin ganas who was one length in front of Chickabiddy, At the three-quar- ter pole Mart Jordan still had his head im front, Coffee's colt @ neck in front of Utica, who was two lengths in advance of Bingaman, the latter one length ahead of Chickabiddy.

At the three-quarter pole Mart Jordan led a neck, Bingaman second, about the same distance in ad- vance of Utica, who was two lengths in front of Chickabiddy, the latter having been pened out on the lower turn. A fine race up the homestretch brought Mart Jordan and Bingaman under the wire on even terms, and the judges declared a deaa heat. Coffee was a good thud, Utica fourth, Chickabiddy fifth. Time, 3:11. The horses were then led aside to wait until the other races were over before they could settle the affair, which is always customary. When the; were brought to the post agatn and were aarted, Mart Jordan took the lead and cantered in tron of Bingaman for three-quarters of a mile, the !atter not appearing in the least hurry for sharp work, The pace was not much improved until they re- turned to the starting place, the time to that point being 2:10. Then they sprung to work, and ran side and side to the finish, the judges again being unable to see any difference between them, and again declared a dead heat. The last three-quariers were run in 1:183. Again they were called to the post, and went away ata much better pace than before, Mart Jor- dan leading for half a mile, but then Bing: col- lared him and they ran tothe end yoked, the judge @ tlird time announcing a “dead heat.’ 1@, 3:16, For the fourth time Bingamin and Mart Jordan faced Colonel Bruce, the starter, and, with a tap of the dram he sent them on their Journey.

THE RACE. First Heat.—Village Blacksmith was away first, Mildew second, Gerald third, Maid of Orange fourth, Lizzy Lucas fifth, Warlike sixth. At the quarter pole Gerald was two lengths in front of Mata of Orange, Lizzy Lucas third, Village Black- smith fourth, Warlike fifth, Mildew sixth. At the half-mile pole Gerald still led two lengths, Maid of Orange second, Village Blacksmith third, Lizzy Lucas fourth, Warlike tifth, Mildew sixth. ‘at the three-quarter pole Gerald still showed the way, Maid of Orange second, three lengths nhead of Vil- lage Blacksmith, Lizzy Lucas fourth, Warlike fifth, As the horses passed the stand Gerald was leading a neck, Maid of Orange second, Lizzy Lucas third, half a length in front of Warlike, who was two lengths ahead of Village Blacksmith, Mildew trail- ing. ‘Time, 1:56. Atthe quarter pole Gerald still had his head in front, Maid of Orange a neck in advance of Lizzy Lucas, Warlike fourth, Vill Blacksmith fifth, Mildew sixth. Going down t! backstreteh Lizzy Lucas went to the front and led one length at the hali-mile pole, Gerald secon Warlike third, Village Blacksmith fourth, Maid o: Orange fifth, Mildew still trailing. Going around the lower turn several changes fk nace Lizzie Lucas keeping the lead. She entet the home- stretch a length ahead of Warlike, Maid of Orange third, Village Blacksmith fourth, Mildew fifth, Geraid sixth. One of the finest runs up the home- stretch that was ever witnessed then ensued, and as the horses passed under the wire it was impos- sible to tell which was the winner except for those immediately on.the line. From the reporters’ stand it was supposed that a dead heat had been made by Mildew, Warlike and Village Blacksmith, who appeared to be parallel, a neck in front of Lizzy Lucas. The inges, however, saw differently and gave the heat to Idew, making Warlike sec- ond and Village Blacksmith third, Lizzy Lucas was a good fourth, Gerald fifth and Maid of Orange sixth. Time of the heat, 3:4314. ‘Second Heat.—Mildew was tirst away, Lizzy Lucas second, Warlike third, Geraid fourth, Village Black- smith fitth, Maid of Orange sixth, Going around the upper turn Lizzy Lucas went to the front and led three-quarters of @ length, Gerald, yilags Blacksmith and Mildew side and side, Warlike fifth, Maid of Orange sixth. Going down the back- stretch, Lizzy Lucas still led, and at the half-mile pole was a neck in front of Maid of Orange, Gerald third, Mildew fourth, Warhke fifth, Village Biack- smith sixth. Lizzy Lucas showed the way around the lower turn and up the homestretch, passing the stand a length in iront of Village Blacksmith, the latter a neck in advance of Gerald, Warlike Jourth, Mar of Orange flith, and laboring badly at the around the upper turn Lizzy had the best of it by half a jens Gerald second, haifa length ahead of Vill lacksmith, the latter a neck in advance of Warilike, Maid of Or- ange fifth, Mildew sixthand beaten. Village Black- smith then took second place and passed Lizzy Lucas at the half-mile pole, she being but a neck in Iront at that point, Wariike third, Gerald fourtn, Maid of Orange filth, Mildew sixth. Village Black- smith soon atterwards had Lizzy Lucas veaten, and she then began to quit. Village Blacksmith then came away, but soon afterwards Warlike began to make play and closed finely, but could not quite overtake him. pines Blacksmith won the heat by @ length, Warlike second, Matd of Orange third, Lizzy Lucas fourth, Gerald fifth, Mil- dew distanced. Time, 3:40, This closed the race, as Village Blacksmith had distanced the wiuner of the first heat, and ali the others had to go to the stable. The Third Race.

Fourth Day of the Fall Running Meeting at Lexington—Grand Attemd- ance and Capital Kacing—Charles Kavanaugh the Winner of the Hurdle Race, and McIntyre’s Asteroid Colt the M Heats. LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 11, 1873. ‘This was the fourth day’s racing by the Kentucky Association. The attendance was much larger than on any previous day. The fact that the hurdle race was set down for the occasion drew a great many people, and the ladies’ stand was completely throngea with the fair sex. On the programme there were three races; but the mile anda half dash did not fill. The first event was THE HURDLE RACE, with four entries, namely :—Buford’s Charles Kav- anaugh, Mclntyre’s Fancy Jane, McGrath’s Lucy Jackson and Cadwallader’s Lightning filly, Kava- naugh was the favorite, At the tap of the drum Fancy Jane took the lead and the first hurdle ina bounce, but knocked it down, and the others had no trouble following her. She kept the lead untilshe had leaped the fourth hurdle, when she made such a blunder, toucning it with her feet, that her rider came near falling off, and, of course, checked her up, and the other horses passed her. She knocked down every hurdle, and, of course, interfered with the excitement, as they lay flat on the ground. In the second mile Kavanaugh and the Lightning filly ran neck and neck up the hill. Coming down the homestretch each did his best, and it was thought that Buford would pass unier the string ahead, but the rider of Cadwallader's filly cut across and interfered with the progress of Buford, and the re- sult was she passed under the string in advance, The judges, however, ruled her off, and gave Bu- ford the race; Lucy Jackson, second, and Fancy Jane, third, ‘Time, 3 :553¢.

The Trip to Europe by Way of Jersey— Articles of Furniture Wanted on the Voyage. If the wind ts of the right quality the balloon in the Capitoline Grounds will sail off for Europe to- day, via the Kill Von Kull and the Delaware Water Gap. Despatches and money orders for St. Peters- burg, Timbuctoo, Bombay and Ballyhooly should be on board beiore the balloon leaves; otherwise they must take their chances by the regular mail, If Professor Wise should decline to go on account of seasickness or any other frivolous pretext the managers of the concern and several news- boys will take his place, with the last edition of the evening paper that inflated the balloon. All supplies for the voyage will be thankfully received and gratefully acknowledged up to tne last moment, but there is nothing more wanted from furniture stores, flour mills, Sausage factories or beer saloons. Six bedsteads, a dozen barrels of flour, half a ton of sausages und several barrels of beer are ample. But if any benevolent merchant in the provision line will send along a tub of Orange county butter tt will peat be rerused. A cooking stove is also wanted, and a clothes press for Professor Donaldson’s performing suit, and a piano for Mr. Lunt, the navigator, and a hat rack jor Professor Wise’s stovepipe. A dumb waiter is badly needed for the navigator, who, sitting in the boat, which o! course will constitute the lower story, will require tohave his meais sent down from the kitchen overhead. Tnere is @ chance for some enterprising one in that line of business to make the balloon a present of a billiard table. Let him take his cue from this and pocket his disap- potntment If he carroms on the wrong shore at the other side, These poor aeronants will have much idle time on their bands, and their journey will be long, ag they have determined on making a circutt- ous trip to London, and will probably touch at Duluth, Cincinnati, New Orlegns, Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena and the North Pole be.ore Sroppiag anchor in Cheapside. A library of books is badly needed. Won’t-some of the mis- stonary societies step forward? A sewing machine will be required in case the balloon Tips and the drag stores have a chance to make themselves known to the people in Europe and elsewhere by sending in supplies of plaster. As the expense o! the enterprise has been already defrayed by the charge for admission and the gratuitous supply of furniture and provisions, a band will be hired to-day and the burden of the music will be suggestive; melody—“Up in a ta ir.

How the Report of One Was Only Read and the Other Ordered Printed. A SPICY DEBATE ALL ROUND. The Fight Over the Police Justice Ap- pointments Again Postponed by the Aldermen. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday after- noon. Mr. Vance occupied the chair for a short time, but the Mayor shambied in finally and took his seat as complacently as, though there were not a field day ahead in the general expectation of the lobby. The members of the latter body, by the ‘way, were out in full foree, conscious that so long as the Supervisors met at two o'clock and the Al- dermen at three, and that the two Boards held their meetings in the same room, they showed un- commonly good sense in being on hand good and early before the Supervisors were called to order. It was like attending two different church services im the one meeting house; you were sure to be able to attend both so long as yougotin the door- way. A HORRIBLE SUSPICION. All the Supervisors were found to be present when the roll was catled, with the exception of Mr. Van Schaick, It was at first believed he had stayed home to make a new calculation about that $150,000,000 loan which Europeans are sald to pe willing to let us have in consideration of being al- lowed to handle our debt for us; but this supposi- tion was dispelled during the meeting by his put- ting in a hurried appearance, just in time to take a hand in the taxation fight in which the wily Mr. Cafferty fought long and well. AN EXERCISING EXCISE BILL, ‘The first business done was the reporting of sun- dry bills, which were referred to their appropriate committees; among others one from a lawyer, named Wililam C, McKeag, for delending suits against the Board of Excise in 1871, judgments, &c. The bill and its manifold specifications made a good sized volume, and the total footing was for the modest sum of $453,800, The footing created a | great deal of merriment, and, amid much mock gravity, the grand bill was referred to the Com- mittee on Civil Courts, the wag who got the refer- ence made being, of course, the waggish Flanagan, THE BATTLE OF THE PERIOD. ‘The fight of the aay was brought about indirectly by the mellifuous Koch, and he did so by offering ® resolution that to the McCafferty committee, already empowered to investigate the charges of unequal valuation of property in the Twelfth, Nineteenth and Twenty-second wards, be added Messrs. Kebr, Faulkner, Monheimer and Reilly, and that the investigation be extended throughout all the wards of the city. Mr. MonnEImER pleaded sickness in his family as an excuse for his unwillingness to serve, although he confessed that he was heartily in sympathy with the investigation, Then came Reilly, fresh from Saratoga conquests, who, not believing the Board had any power in the matter, declined to be counted as one of the in- vestigators. Then did he, as a clincher, move that the resolution lay upon the table, which motion was carried by the following vote Yxas—The Mayor, Supervisors Billings, Ci , Faulk: Nays—Supervisors MeCaierty, Koch, Montelimer—& A STRONG AD-VANCE MOVEMENT. There was a shuflliug of tect in the lobby anda muriur of voices as the vote was announced, as if the taxpayers out there were about to leave, 8a- tisfled that the question was at an epd; but if such was their intention Supervisor Vance did not leave them long in doubt, As chairman of the Commit- tee on Annual axes and Finance he begged leave to present the report oi the committee on the sub- ject of the assessinent rolls and stated valuations of property, referred to them some time ago. The report was accompanied by an ordi- nance. The report im @ nutshell was to the effect that the valuation for the year, as fixed by the Commissioners of Assess- ments, shows @ footing of $1,129,139,623. (Miller, the deputy clerk, came very near choking in attempting to read correctly this parade line of figures). ‘The committee also added in the report that, after examining the books, they did not think it wise to make any change in the valuation, and that the Board, moreover, had no power to change the valuation already fixed. KOCH-ING FOR A BIG ROW. The moe acted apparently like an electric snot upon the gentle Koch. He jumped to his feet, and, raising his right arm over his and swinging it Weniogy about, as though he intended to throw his hand off trom the wrist at the presiding officer, to wake him up to the dangers ofthe situation, exclaimed, “I claim that this committee have made no examination of the books. The term examination means to ‘look into things particu- larly,’ and I assert here that this committee have not examined the books of the asses- sors thoroughly. I um sorry that a motion has boen made to lay on the table my resolution in relation to increasing the num- ber and powers of the committee, which has already done s0 much to ex the ubuses of the unequal and unjust taxation in this ct think my resolution éminently just. property holders of this city have been deait with is an outrage. While the tax assessors in ‘the head , because I e way the country have gone below the value of property there, the assessors here have sre too high. Had we tax commissioners elected by the people this would never be the case. THE RIVAL COMMITTEEMEN HAVE A BOUT. Then next came Supervisor McCafferty to the rescue of his colleague and coworker. He seconded the motion that had been made by him and con- tended that whac he and his wanted was just what Mr. Vance had in his report conceded, namely, that the Board had the power to equalize the taxation of property in the city without re- ducing the aggregrate. “I fear no contradiction in asserts be added, “that no fair minded man cap, im the tace of the investigations we have made and the papers in our possession, come to any other conclusion than that a gross outrage has been committed upon the people. They show that property of equal valne is in one place taxed 20 per cent and in another 80 to 100 per cent. The Committee on An- nual Taxes aud Finance have only lield a super- ficial examination, and Know but little ef the sub- ject. they pretend to have investigated, Mr. VANCE—We have inade @ thorough examina- tion, and I say her now —— Mr. MoCaFrerTgy—Now, sir, I want to ask a plain juestion.. 1 want to know Mf the Committee on Fonant Taxes and Finance ever held a meeting be- tween the time they were appointed, last July, to- day, yesterday—I mean, did they ever meet before to-day? VAaNCE—They met to-day, after having been regularly called together yesterday by notice. ir. MCCAPFERTY—Did U ever have any other meeung? Mr. VANCE—They met to-day at twelve o'clock. Mr, McCarrerry—That’s it exactly. Now, let this go forth to the people, that the Board of Super- visors in a subject matter of so much importance as this, contents itsell with the examination or the endorsing of a report based on an examination of a committee that held only one meeting and that for only one hour and a half. eon gentlemen, the thing is absurd, and the people will have good rea. son to find fault, Mr. VaNce—Notwithstanding the gentleman’s remarks, I assure this Board that I have given this subject great attention. Ihave spent three days in the week ail summer working avit. It has been my study during my working hours, and! think, at times, during my sleep. My colleagues on the com- mittee, I feel, have also done their duty tuily, SOMB EXPLANATIONS, Mr. Kocu—‘‘Here’s an answer to all your argu- ments,” aud the Supervisor flaunted the report of Mr. McCafferty’s special committee before the stately Vance. Mr. Vance—That’s no answer at all to anything, (Loughter.) [think the time wil! come when a the errors that report pretends to discover will be 1ound to be merely imaginayr. Supervisor OTTENDORFER, @8 one of the commit- tee, here remarked that, aithough the committee had had but one meeting, he had given great at- tention to the subject referred to them, and he Benes against Supervisor McCafferty’s insinua- fon that the members of the committee had slur- red over the matter referred to them. Supervisor McCarrerty replied that Mr. Otten- dorfer had acknowledged to bim that he had not made @ thorough examination of the books; at least, that while he had seen the books he had not seen the property assessed. Mt, Oren Rhouren—"Wowever, I consulted real estate expe: Mr. Faulkner believed that this whole matter was ‘gotten up for buncomba. Ap the last day of April, notices were all over the city, calli upon them to call at the tax a wieiee Avan Hightly ne tax ottce @od sée # the! be How 79,00 sone. ; ‘ A ces were put up, concede that. Bat wi did all that amount to? Why, the taxpayer who went to the ofice got no satisfaction if he was assessed too high. In nine cases out of tem the ra who went there got assessed @ $1,000 or so higher. Now, as to bunky— (loud laughter) — (The ervisor evidently meant buncombe}—I will tell him that he and others who think as he does about this matter will bunk when they get their tax bills. Then they'll fud bunky, (Laughter), A CAUCASIAN RIB TICKLER. Mr. FavLkner—I don’t remember any citizen epepins before the committee who investigated the charges of unequal valuation and stating that Rakad gone to the office and had not got well Mr. MoniemmxR—I can tell She gentlerset why he hot remember it, Hedid not attend the meetings oiten enough, because he was too busy getting up that caucus. (Laughter.) VERY FLATTERING FOR BOTH SIDES. Mr. Billings and Mr. Cooper explained their post> tions, The former was opposed to recomiitting the report. He believed the committee had done good work, Mr, MeCafferty’s committee, Mr. Cooper remarked, had done goed work also, the results of pea rand he snaye in cane assessments; but e coul w Vatsasion already fixed, wey ORES FR layor here read the session law of 1! woe Me cocmnenee, ae a under which syd 8380) vted, and ‘ond which the Bo: Supervisors could not ao. mit iter considerable further talk all round on the. enna a ane | rn an amendment to the mot recom i report be printed and laid on the table for a week. ; Mr. Monheimer, the mover of the original mo- tion, accepted the amendment, which was carried by the ba 1Ote :— Yeas—The corder, Supervisors Flanagan, ferty, Monhelmer, Kehr, Koch, ht, Reilly ana Van schalek’-. 8 Billings, Cooper, rfer and Vance- Nays—The May Paulkner, Morris, Often 01 HOW THAT REPORT 18 TO BY PRINTED. On the announcement of this vote Mr. Koch pre- sented the report of the McCafferty committce. As the seupihony upon which it is based has been Ro lished from time to'time in the newspapers it is almost needless to go into any detailed statement as to the conclusions the committee came to. ‘They say that many of the inequalities of the taxation testified to before the committee were the result of brivery and corraption, ‘They suggest that the tax commissioners should be elected and the deputy aud local assessors be selected from the various wards, and that the Board of Supervisors be empowered to revise the tax books at proper periods. ‘The reading of the report of the committee was dispensed with alter a large portion of it had beep read, and it was ordered printed, the members who did not want it read forgetting in their anx- jety to have it laid aside that the motion of Mr. Reilly was to dispense with the reading not only, but to have it printed as well, The Board then adjourned and at once resolved itself inte the Board of Aldermen. THE PVOLICK JUSTICES YET SAVE. It was now rather late in the afternoon, and ® Motion to adjourn Was carried without any strife— 9to 6. It was rumored that Kebr had succumbed to mayorial blandishments in the way of oficial pap and pot pie, and that he would yote for the appointment of the Police Justices already nominated, whenever the nominations came up for action; but the rumor was vehemently denied by ls iriends, As the Board adjourned to Thursday next the present Police Justices are sare of being able to have at least one more week’s salary. Indeed it is pons ‘sate to say now that the next Legislature will meet before they are made ta cease drawing their salaries at all, which is ap agreeable prospect to them, if not to the aspiranta to their seats. it ts also said that the Mayor will have consider- able trouble in getting his Correction and Charity Commissioners confirmed, inasmuch as not a few of the Aldermen object to sectton 80 of the act re- lating to the Commissioners, which gives the jolice authority to go into all public places and ake all truanté therefrom and hand them over to the Commissioners. THE NATHAN MYSTERY. Irving Indicted Yesterday and To Be Extra dited—Prompt Action of the Grand Jury, Who Will Find Out What He Knows or “Send Him Up the River” for the Chatham Street Burglary. The HERALD, in its recent revelations in this case of facts supposed to have died with Mr. Jour- dan, who was Superintendent ef Police, has merely given what has been in its possession for a long time, and which Superintendent Matsell should have known soon after the evening he took the desk of the late Superintendent Kelso. Yet it is very doubtful whether he knows as much of THE SECRET WORK OF THE GREAT DETECTIVE as outsiders, including some of the reporters oj the press, The published facts in the HERALD that Mr. Matsell has verified show this, and it may be here stated that when Irving first made his confes- sion MR. MATSELL BELIEVED HIM TO BE A LIAR, and, without waiting to investigate the career 0) Irving, or learning from his officers that there was sufficient evidence in this city to convict him, he hurriedly announced that he was not wanted, When the HERALD gave the facts secured by Jour- dap Mr. Matsell was astounded, but, on investiga tion, admitted that they were correct; yet, HAVING COMMITTED HIMSELF in his letters to the California authorities, he hest- tated to admit his error and ordered his officers NOT TO TALK TO REPORTERS. In this he exhibited a clever policy, and while he and Captains Kennedy, Irving and Clinchy have been at work collecting evidence not a word could be got from any of them. ‘The interview between yeneral Duryea, Mr. Matsell and a reporter recently convinced the latter that Mr. Matsell was deter- mined to SIFT IRVING'S TRUTHS AND LIES, and the revelations made yesterday prove this, Wuile Kennedy and Matsell were trying to throw discredit upon the published facts, and Matselt ‘was glibly talking of some of Jourdan’s witnesses having “STANDS LIKE A LADY,” itis safe to say they were acting in concert, and securing evidence to indict the man they professed to “uot want.” While they were thus at work re- porters of the HERALD were conversing with wit- nesses to the robbery in Chatham street, and learned on Wednesday evening that they had been SUMMONED BEFORE THE GRAND JURY. Before noon yesterday Assistant District Attor- ney Allen admitted that THE GRAND JURY WOULD INDICT and the authorities would say Irving here and see what he knows of the case. ‘This action of the Grand Jury may have been poeneees by these two very mysterious individuals, Matsell and Kennedy, but had the HERALD not thrown A LITILE LIGHT UPON A DARK TRANSACTION it is safe to say that one of the most notorious liars and daring burglars that have ever preyed upon this community, under the PROTECTION OR NOT OF POLICE OFFICIALS, would never Le extradited at the public expense, Later in the day it was learned that Irviny ray indicted for the Chatham street burglary, and that Captain Kennedy (who, when asked for informa- tion on the snbjéect, so politely refuses vo say any- thing, but looks 80 getter will to-day make the necessary affidavit before the District Attorney to secure a REQUISITION FROM THE GOVERNOR for his extradition from the State of California, ‘This can be relied upon, even if Jourdan’s late ser- geant and Kelso’s successor deny it, Whether the credit lor Ce Baga indictment belongs to Mr. Matsell, Captain Irving, Captain Kennedy, the Grand Jury, General Duryea or As- sistant District Attorney Alien, of course can’t be discovered, as the secrets of the Grand Jury room are sacred and not a matter for comment; but that the authorities are alive and not sleeping ike THE FOOLISH VIRGINS 1s evident, and this is enough. lt is to be hoped that the authorities will exer. cise caution in the transfer of Irving from Cali- Jornia to this city and not permit any of his oid ACCOMPLICES IN CRIME TO COMMUNICATE WITH 11M. At the proper time the ileRaLp will give other facts as to Jourdan’s working up of the case that, it is probable, are not known to any police officer in the city. This much may be here said for the information of Messrs. Duryea, Matsell and eeceatiucts eae Ellis was confined in the Frankia street station house, JOURDAN IMPORTED A VERY IMPORTANT WITNES® from a distant city, whose residence by nomber and street is known to the writer, and from her obtained very important evidence. 1s this testi- mony in the possesston of tne District Attorney, tsell or his oiticers ? A police capt yesterday introduced @ ree ter to a merchant to woom Irving admitted is participation in PATI ROUBERY OF SIMPSON'S PAWNSHO?, No. 181 Bowery, bit enough crimes can be traced keep him irom preying upon the com- Sentty, witnoat indicting him for the Simpson burglary. RVING MAY LIE FROM FIRST TO LAST, and aune has confessed to Captain Lees in Call. fornia may prove to be false ; but his extradition and conviction Will rid the community of one of the most accomplished burglars that ever operated in this or any other city, and the present Grand Jury, or the whosoever may have n instrumental in causing his indictment, have done “work enough for one day.” FIRE IN CANAL STREET, Loss $18,000, At seven o'clock last evening a fire broke out in the sub-cellar of 202 and 204 Canal street, occupied by Edward W. Baxter asa furniture factory. The damage inflicted on stock will foot up to $15,000, while that on the building is estimated at $3,000, The building was owned by Wiliam Kingman.
