Wares Is rae ‘‘T'utep Crrv.’’—One of our exciting questions now is, Which is the third «ity of the Union? Fora long time Brooklyn hhas had the honor; now it is claimed by St. Louis. We presume we have to annex. Brooklyn to settle the problem. A Mrrnobourran Pouce Brit was intro- duced in the Assembly yesterday. But the Police Commissioners have no occasion to go to Albany. They can save their time and their money. All the prayers of the Lin- ‘coln Sabbath meetings in the Assembly ‘Chamber would not suflice to give the bill a prospect of salvation. AssempiyMan Spencer, of New York, de- clares himself a convert to a rapid transit commission. He has discovered that the } ‘vox populi in New York is for such a com- mission and against individual and question- able schemes. He will henceforth pull off his -coat and work for the Eastman bill; but, at the same time, he sagely appreciates the difficulty -of getting through the Assembly any rapid transit bill ‘‘without money in it.” The diffi- culty is no doubt great, but the fear of an ex- posure on the floor will sometimes hold a check even upon the boldest corruptionists. ‘We hope Mr. Spencer will remain constant in | ‘his present intentions. Tae Swinsurnz Gnav.—One of the most barefaced attempts to rob the people that have recently been attempted was the proposition to give Dr. Swinburne, an ex-health officer of the port of New York, ninety thousand dollars as additional compensation for his ‘‘services,”” which are supposed already to have netted him over half a million during his term of office. The impudent attack on the treasury has apparently been defeated, but the legis- Jators must be watchful or it will make its appearance again in the few ‘‘last hours’ generally devoted to plunder. Goop ror Lixcoun.—Mr. Lincoln, of On- tario, ex-member of the Erie Committee and present member of the Railroad Committee of the Assembly, has done something that we ‘can commend at last. He has introduced a resolution, which has been adopted, granting the use of the Assembly Chamber for religious services, morning and evening, on Sundays. Now, if he will attend those religious meet- ings we may hope for a conversion that, while it may not forward the interests of the Van- derbilt rapid transit job, may be better for the present of the people of New York and | for the future of Mr. Lincoln, of Ontario. Repwramvrion—A Casx rn Porvt.—An in- nocent person in Iowa having heard that Congress was about to issue forty-four mil- lions of greenbacks, wants to be informed how he is to get his share of the issue, which he estimates at five dollars for himself and children. The poor man labors under the delusion that the money is to be issued for the benefit of the people, though he does not see very clearly how inflation is going to help him much, With the shrewd common sense of his class he perceives that the tendency of prices to go up has manifested itself very decidedly at the mere mention of inflation. Cheap money is not an unalloyed benefit, for it is generally | accompanied by dear bread and butter, which is only another expression for want snd suffering among the poor. St. Domingo | has plenty of cheap money. Greenbacks are | go plentiful in that favored clime that it takes | & large fortune to get a breakfast; but, strangely enough, the prosperity of the people is not wonderfully increased by the possession of plenty of cheap money.

Three Indians were to be hanged at Fort Smith to-day for murders committed in the Indian country, One of them is named John Rielly, a full blooded Choctaw, who killed in November last Perry Duvall, a Veputy United States Marshal, who was attempting to arrest him ona charge of killing a negro. He was ® desperado and was dreaded throughout the Territory. Another is Isaac Fillmore, also a full-blooded Choctaw. He is only sixteen years of age and was utterly unconcerned about his fate. Last June he went out to kill and rob some person, being too indolent and worthless to work for a living. He met a poor traveller, who had come all the way from California on foot. After passing the man he turned back and repassed a few steps and then ‘Wheeled and shot him dead. The entire booty was $1 50 and a pair of shoes, When asked if he knew ‘the name of the man he had murdered ne replied, With a scowl, “Dog-on if I know.” The third is Jotn Pointer, a full-blooded Seminole Anadtan. convicted of the murder of a drover, of | ‘Uhe Choctaw nation, last fall, He declared his in- fee yesterday with much feeling, and said he ad to die for adeed committed ive another per- patent. was believed by ine prison keepers to be 1 POISONING THE “DUFF.” Boston, April 3, 1874.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 1874. The steamer Alaska arrived here this evening with dates from Yokohama to March 10. Japan. The insurrection in Saga was brought to an end onthe Ist uit. Okubo, Minister of the Interior, sent from Jeddo to quell the disturbance, arrived at Facksaa, a port thirty-five miles from Saga City, on the 19th of February, when gathering his forces, he marched upon the insurgent stronghold, overcoming his oppo- nents im @ series of trifling skirmishes, On the 28th Saga was invested. On March 1 the rebels abandoned the place, dispersing in various direc- tions, Meanwhile @ second body of troops had em- barked from Jeddo, under the command of Hegase Fusima, an uncle of the Mikado. This expedition sailed March 1; but, in consequence of the news from Saga, was stopped by telegraph at Aaka. The intelligence of the rebel collapse was coldly received by the foreigners generally in Yokohama, a different result having been confidently expected by the majority. THE UNITED STATES MINISTER will take up his residence permanently tn Jeddo this month and the British Minister will follow as soon as his new Legation buildings are completed. The main body of the British attachés are always stationed at the capital. INDEMNITY, The recent payment of the instalment of the Simoneseki claims has been made the occa- sion for recalling circumstances of the aifairs hitherto forgotten. The indemnity was demanded to defray the expenses of the allied expedition of 1864, commonly under- stood to have been undertaken in consequence of the firing upon foreign ships while passing through Simonescki Straits. The Englsh Min- ister was most active in organizing the ex- pedition, but it is now set forth that not asiugle English ship was ever flred upon or in any way molested, and that while the expedition was in preparation Earl Russell sent tre- quent despatches to Minister Alcock stating that the passage of the straits was not necessary. and forbidding any aggressive proceedings. The action of the British fleet was approved by the home government only after it had been carried through and proved successful, FRENCH AND AMERICAN CLAIMB, As regards the cause of France and the United States, it is shown that the French government, by the special treaty of June 25, 1864, accepted the peaceful terms of the settlement of the Simoneski trouble, and that this arrangement was known to the French Minister in Japan before tne sailing of the expedition, which, nevertheless, proceeded with sanction, and that the United States Minister was in possession of a written acknowledgment of the injury done and a written promise to pay the penalty demanded, and, also, interest, which was not demanded when he agreed to the hostile departure, It is furthermore shown that the original inten- tion was to fix the indemnity at $2,000,000, but that it was raised to $3,000,000 in consequence of a suggestion that the first named sum could be too easily paid, and that, in lieu of $3,000,000, the opening of @ new port might be urged and secured, a circumstance which gives the whole Simeneski affair the appearance or being a move- ment solely for the purpose of exacting commer- cial concessions. ‘These facts have all been gathered from foreign oMmcial documents. OBITUARY, Miss D. Heenan. A special Berlin letter of March 17, published in the London News of the 21st ult,, contains the fol- lowing announcement:—Miss D, Heenan, the sister of the well known American boxer, dicd some days ago in Berlin, literally of suffocation. She was undoubtedly one of the most corpulent women tn the world, and had been for some time exhibiting her not uncomely features and her all too solid mass of flesh to an admiring Berlin pub- lic, together with @ selection from the silver cups and other presents received by her from en- thusiastic citizens and crowned heads during the course of her travels, when, almost without any previous warning, the poor lady’s career was cut short in the way 1 have mentioned. There is an extraordinary demand just now in Berlin for phenomena ‘of this class, and the enterprising person who had engaged the professional services of Miss Heenan showed himself at once true to time and up to the mark as @ caterer for the reigning taste, for on the very day following his bereavement he was provided with another moun- pnce o! ish of “plum duff.’ It is be- lieved the poisoning was accidental, as the cook was among the Victims tain of breathing flesh in tho place of the colossal deiunct, will shortly marcn with- GARNIER INVINCIBLE. The Third Contest tor the Challenge Cup—The Frenchman Wins by 220 Points. The third contest for the challenge cup and the championship of tne world at tie three-ball carrom game was played last night in Tammany Hall and won by Albert Garnier, beating his opponent, Maurice Daly, by 220 points in a game of 600 carroms. The challenge cup was first contested for in whe grand tournament, played duing the month of June, 1873, and won by bert Garnier, beating Cyrille Dion, Maurice aly, Yosee:, Dion, Francols uvaswy and Joho Deery. The winter Was then challenged by Cyrille Dion, and in a game played on December 2, 1873, Garnier was again victorious, beating his Opponent by 120 points in a game of 600. Frangois Ubassy was the challenger in the second match, which was decided at Tammany Hall on the even- ing of Jabusary 30 last, and sgsulted in favor of Garnier, who won by 140 points ii a game of 600, The match last evening attracted & very large humber of spectators, as since the defeat of Cyrille Dion by Maurice Daly the triends of the latter recovered confidence in their favorite ana came prepared to see him win. They held that the man who could run 212 once could do so again. Shortly after seven P. M, the hall began to fill, and before eight P. M. every seat on the ground floor was filled and several hundred were located in the gallery. There was, if anything, as large an attendance as was present on the evening of the Match between Ubassy and Garnier. All classes | were represented—club men, amateur billiardists, sports, &c. There was not much betting, as Gar- nier’s friends were in the majority, but what little there was invested was put on at about 100 to 60 on Garnier. The game was played onadby 11 | carrom table, with 2% balls. The umpires were— Mr. Newhall, of Boston, for Garnier, and Joseph | Dion for Maurice Daly, and Chris O'Connor acted | as referee. The game was called at 8h. 19m, 308., | and the men strung for the lead, which eventually fell to Daly, who opened the game by a couple and then let Garnier in, The Frenchman made 2, passed, and Daly, after scoring, missed an easy one. Garnier, failing to score, Maurice made 1, and then the Frenchman scored 10, making the first double figure. In the fifth inning Daly made 9, including one very briluant up and down shot made with reverse side, Garnier then made 1, and Daly, after scoring 9, made a clever draw snot. | bringing the balis altogether, but uniortunately | frozen; he closed his breuk for 12, Garnier then | scored 2, after which both played for safety. Alter | some uninteresting play on both sides Daly started | on the tenth ining with 13, when the balls troze, | Hie made the opening shot, and brought his break | to 31, when, on appeal, the umpire decided no score, and Garnier Went tn and scored 15, Daly then missed ang Garnier made a pretty run of 31 pots. Ihe score stood on the ciose of the | elevepth imning GARNIER, 65; DALY, 62, Daly then wentin, and after some very pretty Play rolied aD 43, waen the Frenchman went in and manipulated exactly the same number. Gar- nier made his forty-second carrom twice round the table, eliciting a round of applause. The specta- | tors were in excellent humor and applauded | SvGea Shug especially scratches. In the thirteenth | in | inning both made 2, then Daly missed and Garnier scored 15. Garnier made 9 on the sixteenth | Inning, which was followed by 19 trom Daly. Nothing worthy of notice was done after that until | the twentieth inning, when Daly got the bails | together along the side cushion, and aiter working | them for some time sent them up to the top cor- | ner, where, aiter rolling up lis score to 47, he | went out on around the tabie shot. At the close of the twentieth inning the game stood :— DALY, 179; GARNIER, 139, i} So far the play was tolerably good, as Daly had | averaged close on 9. Daly got to work well in the | twenty-iirst inning, scoring 11, but after that | neither of the men distinguished himself until | the twenty-fourth inning, when Garnier made 14, which Daly iollowed with 7. Garnier then went in and played a remarkably fine inning for 66, which included a very artistic draw and a couple of brilliant all-round-the-tavle shots. The play of Garnier ebaeere to inspire Maurice, as in the | twenty-sixth inning he played remarkably well, and, although the balls froze on him once, he rolled up 6Zin handsome style, which gave him a lead of 50 points. Garmer then made7 and Daly 3, after which the Frencninan went to work and scored 15, Maurice then took an inning, and after scoring 1 | missed, and Garnier started to work and by some remarkably good play scored 75 carroms, During | the break the balls froze on him twice, and he | made two difficult massé shots. Daly then missed | and Garnier rolled up 40 more on his string. At the close of the thirtieth inning the score stood— | GARNIER, 352; DALY, In the thirty-first inning Daly made 1 and Garnier scored 23, leaving the balls sate. Daly then went in, and, after making a very clever three cushion shot, missed. Both men scored a round 0, after which Garnier ran 17, Maurice then put 6 together, | Garnier scored 2, and in the thirty-fiftn inning | Daly missed and Garnier added 14 to his string, | The game now stood—Garnier, 408; Daly, 276. Garnier’s average at the end of the thirtieth in- | ning was 11 23-35 and Daly’s 73-5. Daly then | went in, ana, failing to score, the referee called an | intermission, with smoking privileges. The | devotees of the fragrant weed enjoyed themselves for about ten minutes, alter which play was re- sumed, Garnier taking the cue. The champion made 3 and then let Maurice in for 2, after which Garnier scored 1. Both men followed with 6, which was succeeded by 4 from Daly and 3 from Garnier. Maurice then started to work. Getting | the balls together in the right hand top corner, ne nursed them with considerable skill, which, aided | by some good all-round play, added 61 to his score | and slightly encouraged his backers. The score | at the close of the fortieth mniags was— GARNIER, 422; DALY, 339. In the forty-first inning Daly made 3, which was followed by 7 brilliant carroms from the champion, Daly then scored 3, which was followed by 35 rolled | up by the lpewclidt hand of the Frenchman. Daly then went to work and, getting the balls together | alongsiue the bottom cushion, began his delicate nursing, but, getting the bails in an awkward po- | sition, had to break them, and closed his run for 22, Garnier then commenced again and played a | brilliant inning for 60, executing a series of artistic | assés and draw shots. Maurice then missed and Garnier addea 29 more to his string. The score stood at the close of the forty-flith inning— GARNIER, 553; DALY, 372. The game now looked all over, as Garnier was Over 180 ahead and piaying with great confidence. Daly made 7 in the forty-sixth inning which | Garnier followed with 24.

THE GRACES OF THE SENATE. o Act for the Establishment of a Metro- politan Police District, TAMMANY AND THE COMPTROLLER. ALBANY, April 3, 1874. Colonel Spencer wishes to say that, bowing to the vox populi of New York, he ranges himself on the side of rapid transit as it is meant to be had in the billof Mr. Eastman, He thinks Peter the Hermit was & smart man, but ten such Peters would have had a hard row to hoe in pushing a rapid transit | iil that has no money in it through the New York Legislature, But he thinks it can be done, and, to hand his name down to posterity fragrant with the incense of the pop- ular love, he takes up the forlorn hope with the motto, “Victory or death.” He says he has seen enough of the world, tasted sufficiently of the sweets of wealth, fame and the Special Ses- sions, and now he feels the promptings of a pure and high ambition, to achieve something for which future generations will bless his name. He is about to take off his coat and sail in, regardless of rings, lobbies and monopolies, Over the rural mind he has unlimitea sway, and he points to the instance of the rural memvers voting for the $90,000 claim of Dr. Swinourne, after he told them | the Doctor was @ fine man and was also his (amily physician. The Colonel will take the fleld next week, and his manwuvres will be highly interest- | ing. THE GRACRS OF THE SENATE, There was a nice little breeze in the Senate this morning between two juvenile Senators—Mr. Gross, of New York, and Mr. Jacobs, of Brovklyn. The former offered a resolution directing that a cominittee of three be appointed to inquire into the names, residences and occupations of the in- corporators of bills now before the Legislature. Half of the bills introduced every session for one charter or the other contain names that only rep- | resent what Senatur Ganson calls ‘‘men of straw.’? Mr. Woodin said that the design of the resolution was wo defeat the Chambera Street Railroad bill. Mr. Gross replied that in offering the resolution he had no intention of delwying the ac- tion of the Senate on that bill Tnere- upon the impetuous Jacobs remarked, in an intensely sneering way, that the resolution was evidently drawn up by the Senator from the Sixth and illustrated his breadth of view and idea of legislation, He thought that when the Sena- tor irom the Sixth had a little more legislative ex- perience his propositions would command more respect. Jacobs thought this was quite enough to snuif out Gross; but he reckoned rashly, for Gross, with cutting calmness, responded that he was at a loss to understand why the Senator from the Third shculd be the champion of so many jobs affecting localities to which he was a stranger, He had taken a deep interest | in the Chambers Street bill, which was a flagrant jov, and in the bill for the relief of tne Nassau Drawing Room Car Company, which was another, and both outside his own district. Flesh and blood could hardly stand this sort of talk, so the flery | Jacobs replied that the youth who novw assailed | him was without experience, a stranger to gentie- | manly language, who sought to raise a monument to himsell by attacking those who were his su- periors, and who was beneath the notice of men of | intellect and iron-clad mtegrity. A little more of this pious interchange of opinions followed, and then the resolution passed, but amended so as to include only Senate bills, BILLS RELATING TO NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN FAVORABLY REPORTED.

When the bill providing for an election tor Comp- | troller was reported to the Assembly to-day Mr. | Coughlin made a motion to have it recommitted, in | order that the Mayor of New York, who had ex- | pressed the desire, might be heard upon itt. To | this Mr. Leake, or New York, took offence, and de- | clarea the bill had been over two months ‘in com- mittee; that the Mayor was long since aware of | its mtroduction and had pienty or time to appear | before the committee if he had anything to say.

Our canals are now in a Unless wise measures are now adopted they will become heavy burdens of taxation to our people instead of being the channels of cheap transportation. THE EVENING SESSION. The Assombly held no session this evening, hav- ing adjourned over until Monday, In the Senate tue bili to Incorporate THE ORINOCO NAVIGATION COMPANY was considered, and a disposition was manifested on the part of Senators to inquire into the charac- ter and responsibility of the would-be corporators. A resolution to that effect, offered by Mr. Fox, wus, | however, lost, and the bill was ordered to a third Tending. ADULTERATION OF MILK, A bill was ordered to a third reading which pro- vices that the addition of water, or any substance other than a suflicient quantity of ice to preserve the milk while on transportation to market, is hereby declared an adulteration. Any milk thatis obtained from animals fed upon any substance in @ state of putrefaction or fermentation, or which is impure, filthy or unwholesome, is hereby de- clared to be impure and unwholesome. Any viola- tions of the above provisions may be punished as provided for in chapter 467 of Laws of 1862, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIO NOTES. Miss Charlotte Cushman will give a series of six | readings at the Academy of Music, beginning on April 22, Mr. William H. Bowditch, late’: manager for Mr. W. J. Flofence, the Irish comedian, died ast even- | ing at No. 328 West Forty-eiyhth street. He was aged fifty years, On dit that M. Victor Capou! is studying the prin- cipal role in “La Fille de Madame Angot,”' and the rehearsals show a wonderlul knowledge of the ex- igencies of the rote, Tom Karl, the tenor, made his first and very suc- cessiul appearance under the Strakosch manage- ment, in Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, as Don Ottavio, in “Don Giovanni.” The “Veteran” will be reproduced at the mati- née and evening performances at Wallack’s this evening. It is one of the most effective stage plays presented at this theatre, and has that tinge of dashing romance which always finds favor with the public. “The Seven Last Words,” by Hayden, was the fea- ture at St. Ann’s church, by M. Louis Dachauer’s choir, the soloists being Mile. Corradi, Mile, Gomien and Mr. Pflueger. It was written in the year 1786, for the Cathedral of Cadiz, in Spain, and is very delightful. The Aimée Opéra Bouffe Company close their season at the Lyceum Theatre to-night, aiter a success of no ordinary kind. The programme this evening comprises “Monsieur Choufeuri,” the second act of “La Fille de Madame Angot” and another amusing musical piece. “AYda” was given for the last time last evening atthe Academy of Music. Strange to say, con- sidering the terrible strain on the voices of Miss | Cary, Campanini, Del Puente and Nannetti which five periormances of ‘Lohengrin’ must necessa- tily produce, the representation of ‘AYda’’ last | night was in every respect better than any of its predecessors, The tenor was in his best voice and the barytone was fully equal to Maurel. A fare- well matinée of “Lohengrin” will be given to-day, and already nearly every seat is sold tor it. The theatrical folks of Brooklyn are about to fol- low the example of those of this city by giving several matinée entertainments, whose pecuniary results are to be given to the poor. These enter- tainments are to take place on Tuesday a(ternoon, | at Mra. Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre and at the Academy of Music, on Montague street. They | will both be excellent, and, undoubtedly, will have large numbers of attendants. At tne Brooklyn | Wheatre Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, Mrs. F. B. Conway and: Miss Minnie Conway will be the prin- cipal actors. At the Academy of Music the per- | formance will be motley, as the companies, of Samuells’ Park Theatre, the Olympic Theatre and Hooley’s Opera House will all take partinit. The Brooklynites should, when thus urged by charity, make a display of benevolence as good, propor- tionately, as New York recontly made.
