Burd Grubb. It ts only fair to state that the owners of the Clio are willing to sail any yacht of her size and tonnage to windward and return, feeling assured that she will give a good account of herself. ‘The schooner Alarm, Rear Commodore Kings- land, passed Sandy Hook lightship at nine o'clock Sunday night, having made the run from Five Fathom Bank lightship in twelve hours, The reason that Commodore Kingsland ordered his yacht to abandon the ocean race on Friday morn- ing, when she held a capital position, is that one o} the men on board was seriously ih, requiring immediate medical ald, so they bore away for Cape May, where @ physician was found. There is no doubt that the Alarm would have done well in the contest could she have continued, The schooner Eva, one of the yachts which started in the ocean regatta and did not return, has been heard trom, at Burlington, on the Dela. ware, the residence of her owner, She arrived there on Sunday morning, in a disabled condition, Among the accidents that happened her were the aisabling of her steering apparatus and the break- ing of her fore-chain plate. which carried away the botl out of the topping lift and sprung the flying jib- boom. At this time the sailing master of the Eva concluded that it would be safer to abandon the Trace, and so changed the course of the yacht, The yachts Idler, Peerless, Triton, Gracie, Addie, Emma’ T., Nimble, Mystic and Genia have gone into winter Srarsere in Gowanus Bay, foot of Court street, Brooklyn. @ crew of 600 officers and men and is | ‘The working schooner Reindeer, which started ¥ in the ocean reported.

The officers elected are a State Treasurer and Judge of the Supreme Court. In this city there was also an election for Sheriff and City Treasurer. The returns come in slowly, but the indications are that the republicans have carried the State, but by a reduced majority, Gordon, the republican candidate for the Supreme Court, had 10,697 majority, aa far as known; Mackay, re- publican candidate for State Treasurer, 25,109 majority; and the republican candidate for Sheriff of Philadelphia, 19,193 majority over the ademo- cratic and reform candidates, One ward is yet to be heard from.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 14, 1873, The vote is reported light in the election to-day. The day has been fair, and the order good. Three tickets were in the fleid, with nineteen candi- dates in all, and out of these are made many composition tickets. The indications are that there has been much scratching. There are sixty-six wards and precincts in the city and county, and counting will be diMcult and the re- turns slow. The city has been redistricted into wards since the last Gubernatorial election, which will make comparison by wards impossible, except on the basis of the vote for Secretary of State last fall. CLEVELAND, Oct. 14, 1873, The election in this city to-day passed off very quietly. A light vote was polled. There were five tickets in the field, and much scratching was done.

Majority tor cee eeprom! Bills for Paving Streets Disregarded— Green’s Refusal to Pay Involving {n- terest of $20 per Day—Must City Prop- erty be Again Seized for Debt? Ofthe hundreds of claims now pending against the city, the case mentioned below is only one of the many in which the Comptroller demonstrates his utter disregard for laws relative to paying honest debts due by the city, and sets up his superior judgment to that of our highest courts. The following letter was presented to his Honor Mayor Havemeyer by ex-Judge Edmonas a few days ago:— New York, October, 1873. To Hon. W. F. Havewrer, Mayor of New York :— Sin—We deem it our dnty to inform you, as the Chief Magistrate of tne city, and one of the Boatd of Appor- tionment, of the plowing s ts, in order to obtain trom the city ‘authorities such action as will save the city trom turther expense and the same time render jus- tice to one of its creditors. As attorneys for Charles Guidet we have obtained three judgments in his favor against the city. as follows :— th of June last, tor paving Church street, for $57,523. The claim originally was for $56,753. It now amounts to $38,438, and Is drawing an interest of $10 per day. One on the 27th of June last, for paving South Fifth avenue, for $55,616. This claim originally was for $53,806, Tinow amounts to $55606, and 13 drawing an Interest of er day. ‘On the direction of the Comptroller, an appeal was taken from those two judgments, which appeal has been dismissed and the judgments affirmed. We are thus entitled at once to Issue executions against the city, which will cost the city the additional expense of the Sheriffs fees on over $115,000, besides a daily in- terest of over $21. ‘Another judgment, on 2d October, 1873, for $71,902, for paying First avenue. . This claim ‘was’ originally tor 263,103, It now amounts to $71,993, and is drawing an Interest of $13 a day. We shail be entitied to issue our execution on the 13th inst., which will cost the city the Sherift’s fees on over $72,009, These clatins have already, by means of inexcusable litigation, been raised $14,468 beyond their original amount; are running up $35 every day, and are liable to the Sheriff's fees on over $187,000. We not only desire to get our money for our client, but also to save the city this unnecessary expense, and therefore we address ourselves to you as the Chief Magistrate of the city, to apply the proper remedy, as all our applications to the Comptroller have hitherto been in vain, and we ask an audit, of appropriation, or what- ever other action on the og of the city officers may be necessary to prevent further litigation or unnecessary addition to the burdens of the city. Very respectfully, EDMONDS & FIELD. The above letter, it appears, from information obtained Was at once transmitted by the Mayor to the Comptroller, and that officer sent for the attorneys In the case, One of them waited on the Comptroller, who proposed to give city bonds in payment, and said that if they were not accepted ne should appeal from the last judgment ior $71,902. The proposition was not accepted, and under order of the Comptroller, and without the approval of the Corporation Counsel, an appeal has been taken. It is understood that the cost of these appeals and the Sheriff’s fees will add some $3,000 more to the claim. The question now recurs to this point:—If the $197,000 is justly due by the city, as the Courts of the highest jurisdiction have determined and the Comptroller has admitted by proposing to issue $115,000 in city bonds and the balance in cash in a few days, then why does he not provide at once for the liquidation of the entire claim? If, on the other hand, as the Comptroller stated to the claim- ants’ attorneys, “If the proffer of the bonds were not: accepted he would appeal the cases,’’ then the debt cannot be legally due, and Mr. Comptroller Green has placed himself in @ contradictory position from which it will be hard tor him to extricate him- self, There is still another query connected with the Comptrolier’s proposal :—'*Has he any power to pay in bonds of the city without osfering such se- curities to the highest bidder 9" ‘The solution of the problem which the settlement of Mr. Guidet’s case involves must necessarily affect other similar claims, and is now looked tor- ward to with intense interest by the many con- tractors who daily besiege the Comptroller’s office jor their justly earned pay. UNERAL OF EX-CONSUL PHILLIPS. The funeral services of the late ex-United States Consul Augustus E, Phillips, who committed sui- cide last Saturday at the Crittenden House, Broad- way, On account of starvation threatening him and his wife, took place yesterday at one o’clock in the Church of Santiago, situated in Twenty- second street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The Rev. J. De Palma advanced to the door of the church when the coffin was brought in and com- r menced by reciting, “I am the resurrection and the life,” &c, When it had reached the foot of the communion rails he performed the service for the dead of the Episcopal Church. The ex-Consul’s widow was seated in one of the iront pews and appeared fairly heartbroken. At the conclusion of the rite the Rev. Mr, De Palma made @ short ad- dress, stating how faithiully the dead man had served his government, and spoke in the highest terms of the mora: courage he had shown while United States Consul at Santiago de Cuba, tn open), telling his government of the barbarities practise upon inoffensive Cubans and others by the author- ity of the Spanish government. In kindly and Christian terms he alluded to tne desperation to which Mr. Phillips bad been driven by his losing his all in Cuba by the arbitrary conduct of the Spanish government, which had confiscated his property, “Sorrow not as those without hope,” continued the preacher, “for by the reaceming mercies of our Lord id Saviour We may aii, with- out exception, hope at the day of judgment to enter into the heavenly kingdom.” The organ then layed extracts (rom Rossini’s “Stabat Mater’ and Chopin's dirge. Among those presont were the Vice President of the Cuban ety Mr. Fran- cisco Vicente Aguilera; Genera! Villegas, President ol the Association Amigos de Cuba, and Mr. Hilarto Cisneros.

The latter society has exhausted its treasury, and individual members are furnishing means and suppiles, The firemen report seven members sick, which, with the members of their families, makes sixteen or seventeen in all. The contributions from all sources are reported heavier yesterday than any previous- day during the prevalence of the epidemic.

He was detected and compelled to return the supplies, Two thousand rations were issued from one de- pot yesterday.

He has labored with untiring zeal from the beginning of the epidemic as nurse, visitor and whatever else he could do to alleviate the suffer- ings and administer to the necessities of the dis_ tressed, besides attending to the duties of his ofMice.
