An action has been instituted by Henry G.

It seems that the company now send a boy through tue cars with water, but the plaintiffs, who are acting on behalf of the people, claim that tae statute requires the | company to have water in the cara, In 1673 Edward Boyle got a judgment against the | trustees of the village of Edgewater for work | done. The trustees alleged that they had no | power to levy atax of more than $25,000, and that sum Was needed to meet the current expenses of 1874. Juuge Pratt yesteruay issued a mandamus against. them; compeliimz them to levy in the tax a | suiicient amount to meet the claim, holding that the village at the time was able to raise $40,000, Jobn C, Stephens was divorced from his wile Apna, and on the 1ith of May she went to tne factory, No. 353 Ciasson avenue, where he was atwork and attempted to shoot him.

AN EXCISE EPISODE, ‘The Boy “Freddy.” | About one month ago the Common Council of Brooklyn offered a reward of $300 for the recovery | of Freddy English, the boy who was supposed to have been abducted from his home tn that city while he was engaged in the prosecution of a large num- ber of alleged offenders against the Excise law, he being the witness for the people, ‘two weeks aiter the publication of the reward Master English pre- sented himself at the residence of Bev. George F. Penteoost, of Boston, and told the story of his ab duction by strange men from his home in the City | or Churabes, The utmost credence was placed i the boy*s story by the clergyman, who aubsequentiy accompanicd him to Brooklyn where he restored him to hia gorrowing parents who had mourned im as lost.

The President yielded to the counsels of the Senate Committee and the nominations were made, The rejection of ex-Governor Shep- | herd by the Senate was the all-absorbing topic of conversation sud comment in the city yesterday and hast night, and is likely to continue to be for some days to come. If the majority of the Senate had had the courage of the Executive the result would have been different. But the tact is that the mea who endorsed him and all that he did here up | to the very hour of bis nomination. yielded to the clamors of the opposition press and sacrificed an officer whom they should have supported and sus- tained, The district government is now at an end | forever, and the men who administered it have’) passed into private life with more or less censure resting upon them, The time to write its history hag not and may never come. If, however, if shall be written, it would not at all surprise us to jearn that many of the gentlemen who have satin judgment und con- demoed it are more responsible for whatever of | Mismanagement took place than its administrative | officers. Against Governor Shepherd personally there is no charge implicating his oMcial honor | or integrity. Millions and milhons of dollars were expended under his immediate direction. Inves- | tigation after investigation by Congress and suits | in the courts have failed to show that one single cent was diverted into his pockets; and as long as the Capital lasts its avenues and streets and parks will remain the evidence of his ability and the me- morial to his name. He may be condemned to-day, but time will be certain to bring hima more com- plete vindteation than even that he received yes- terday at the hands oi the President. {From the Cincmnati Gazette—aaministration.)

Nivh—A detailed statement giving full particulars as to the Yarions matters called for in the tetter of Messrs, Vance and Wheeler, dated June 20, 1874. The Comptroller deprecated the actions of some members of the Board in raising the obstacies they have to immediate action on the estimates. He said they must be actuated by some secret motive. A running debate followed between Messrs, Wheeler and. Green.. Mr. Wheeler made a long explanation of the efforts made by himself and Mr. Vance to obtain information on these sub- jects, and insinuated that the Comptroller bad re- tarded their movements, as he thought inten- tionally, but for what purpose he did not know. He thought that the tax-ridden people of New York should know what they were taxed for. in reply tue Comptroller said that on the 6th of May Jast the Legislature passed a law requiring the Board to revise the estimates of the assess- ments for the city ¢xpenses, and, on the recep- tion of the certified cony of the act, all heads of a department Were invited to send their required estimates for 1874, bat a number of them had not responded. Tue Comptroller thought It was un- Just to sift the responsibility of the non-action of the Board opon some members of the Board. ‘Mr, Wheeler:then arose and, in replying to the Comptroller, said that he had been trying to get a meeting of the Board during the month of May, but could get none. He wanted them to take up these estimates early, 80 that there would be plenty of time to fully examine them. On the 3d | of June he recetved # note from the Comptroller to meet him privately in his oftice. He went there with Mr. Vance. The Comptrolier produced a tabular statement or budget, which no one bat iumseif had seen, and said it must be put through this week. Mr. Vance suggested that it be printed with the departmental estimates, as 1t would be almost impossible to thoroughly examine it with- out ite being printed. They could not examine it 80 stiensively ag the importance of the matter de- manded. The Comptrolier replied that there was no money to expend for printing it, and he thought it | unnecessary. Mr. Vance replied that if the city could not afford a small trifle for that purpose he would pay for printing the estimates himsell. He would do this freely, as he Knew he could not do his duty to the public without having the estimates printed and have fulltime to examine them. He eonsidered the responsibility im, d upon him by the public was far greater and jar outweighed the small sum required to print the estimates. He would like to see the heads of departments before the Board. Mr. Green answered that he had seen them, and it was unnecessary. Mr. Wheeler said that Mr. Green had consuita- tions with them, excluding the other members of the Boura, and then Mr. Green asks the Board to approve tue estimates because he had privately satisfied himself. He characterized such a thing | 48 & wrong and discourteous to the other members of the Board. A mesting of the Board was then called, at which the Mayor was not present, and Mr. Vance was voted to tne chair, A resolution was then passed that the estimates | be printed under, the direction of the Secretary, with the tabular statements of the Comptroller. When the Secretary took them to print he touna all the departmental estimates, but none what- ever from the Comptroller’s office, and even the tabular statement had been taken away. He asked for the tabular statement, but it was not given him, and it was not until Saruraay night that he could even get a summary of the Depart- ment of Finance, and not @ detailed estimate, as the resolution of the Board of Apportionment, ana acircular dated May 11, accompanying it, from the Comptroller, had called for, The patie now waxed hot. quite excited. He thought that the President of the Department of Taxes had made himself ab- surd, It would take two weeks to furnish the in- jormation calied for in the resolution, and an mau who knew anything about finances shoui know so. To wait to get this information they Would not be abie to have estimates completed at the required time, the lat of July. He read a note sent by Messrs. Wheeler and Vance to the heads of | departments asking Jor information. Some of these were present, and, no doubt, could give the necessary information. Mr. Wheeler replied that that and other notes to the beads of departments had been writ- ten within the last ten days, because the; couid not get the information they desired inany other way. As for himseif, a8 one of the Tax Commissioners, he would tell the Comptrolier that the effect of the first announcement o1 3,40 per cent, made by the Comptroller, for which there was not the slightest foundation in tact, had done on the real estate of the city and county more damage to its property interests than could be repaired in years, for the Board of Tax Commts- sioners themselves, who laid the basis of this tax- ation, could not know up to this month what the rate of taxation would be. At this ttme, however, we know suflicient to state tuat the tax percent- age would not be as high as 2.93, as the Comp- troller stated yesterday. True, there was some attempt in the tabular statement submitted by the Comptrojler yesterday to reduce expenses, but it Was only bridging over a difficuity which would be piled up against us in ayear hence. The right way vo economize was to cut down and cut of, As far as he himself was concerned he could with. stand the aasauits of the Comptroiler. He and nis colleague were determined to do their duty honestly and faithiully, Mr. Green—There have been some allusions made Mr. Wheeler finterrupting)—No, sir. made no allusions; I have stated facts, Some little excitement occurred here, several outsiders being attracted to the room, among them Police Commissioners Disvecker and Duryee, On a@ vote of the resolution the Mayor and Comp. troller voted solidly against Mes: Vance and Wheeler. Business, however, was proceeded with. For the Legislative Department $101,000 was ap- I have | propriated. The estimates for the Mayor's contingencies meut, amounting t $391,150, which only includes salaries, cleaning markeis and $15,000 contingen. ies, For interest on the city debt $8,250,000 is asked: floating debt fund stock, ‘$10,763; stocks for doc! and slips, $50,000; volunteer soldiers family aid fund bonds No. 10, $500,600; soldiers substituted bounty redemption bends, $600,000, The interest on the dept of the annexed territory 18 $100,000, and reaemption of the debt | Of the annexed territory $85,000, making, in all, | $9,615,763, Mr. Vance asked what was the amount of the | city debt. ir. Green said he published it every month, and supposed every perc. ae any interest in The debt on the lat WAS $119,000,000, tae These were also passed over, The $200,000 for judgments against the city waa, after some discussion between Mr. Green and Mr. hy oy ped passed over. ‘he estimate for the Bureau of Municipal Correc- thor 000, Was come to.

The Police Department wanted $24,(00 for cleaning streets in the new wards and $105,000 for police expenses in the same. These estimates the Comptroller proposed to reduce to $20,000 and $100,000 respectively, ‘The then adjourned unti) this morning. STATE ASSESSORS’ SESSION. A large momber of property owners were pres- ent yesterday at the Tax Commissioners’ Office to witness a meeting of the Board of State Assessors, to complain of the enormous taxation to which their property is supject. AMr. Morrow stated that he owned eleven lots in Harlem, which thirty years ago cost him $1,500, Last year they were assessed at $15,100. Another piece of property which he owned at the corner of Fourth avenue and Thirty-second street, for which he paid $82,000, was assessed at $65,000, He added that it took twenty-two and a haif per cent Of his income to pay his taxes. The Commission- ers will receive complaints until the 1st of Auguat. Among those present were A. T. Stewart, Peter Cooper, Oswald Ottendorfer, Edward Matthews, Brown Brothers, Henry Bergh, KE. H. Jenny and numerous counsellors for Property Owners’ Asso- ciations. Mr. H.

THE SUEZ CANAL. | = | Can the Route Be Neutralized in Time of Wari—British Commerce and the Military Route to India, In the House of Lords, on the 3d of June, Lora Dunsany moved that an humble address be pre- sented to Her Majesty for copies of any existing treaties or Conventions for ensuring the neutraliza- ton of the Suez Canal in war time. He observed that the negotfation of the cana! was not only a matter of great importance to our commercial communications with India, but to our military | route to that country. It was the more important, that there should be a proper understanding be- 4 tween this country and the parties who would be responsible for any interruption of the trafic by that route, particularly after the recent threatened | and the proceedings which had been taken by M. Lesseps, which were | Henr: ° to Parliament on the subject. He thought the time had come when the question of buying up the | peonurs rights of the proprietors should be con- | The Earl of pare sald he agreed with what the , noble earl had said as to the importance of the Suez Canal. It was @ very great work, the construction | of which had brought @ high and enviable reputa- tion to M. Leaseps, Contrary to fear expecta- tion, and especially contrary to the expectations which were entertained in this country, it bad proved of more advantage to the trade of England | and India than it had to any other country or to all the other countries in the world. But née coula | not agree With his noble friend when he spoke of our hold on the canal being precarious and our rignts undefined. The concession granted by the | Viceroy of Egypt and sanctioned by the Porte de- fined in very precise terms the righis of those who used the canal. The noble lord referred to the late dispnte between M. Lesseps and all the governments of Europe. No doubt ‘here was for @ short time some uneasiness and anxiety in the public mind; but their lordships | would remember that M. Lesseps claimed a higher rate of Bt than the governments of Europe Were inclined to sanction, The question of ton- hage was referred wa commission. That commis- sion, representing all the governments iaterested and acting under the authority of the Sultan, de- | liberated on the matter, and a decision was given unfavorable to the claims of the Canal Company. |. Lesseps at first expressed itis intention of re- sisting that decision. Ail the governments of Europe, tncluding that of France, brought tieir influence to bear on M. Lesseps, If he had per- sisted in his intention the result would have Heen |.that the government of Egypt would have taken possession of the canal, and administered it, of course, Im the interests of the shareholders, but in such & manner as to prevent the inter- ruption of the trafic. Fortunately the good sense of M. Lesseps and the expressions of Opinion from the | tag wnt of Kurope prevented the matter from ing Drought to such an extremity, If the matter had been carried to extremities there would have been some temporary inconvenience arising trom | the absence of the skilled artisans who worked the | cal He was quite prepared to go into aby rea- sonable proposition which would prevent the re- currence of disputes; bat, if they did occur, ne had Not the slightest doubt that they would end as the | last one had done. The noble Tord asked whether he was prepared to consider the question of taking over the canal trom M. Lesseps and working it by means of an internatioi commission, His an- Swer was thatit was usciess to talk of buying a Property Which was not in the market; and noone | Would propose to put pressure on M. Lesseps and | the shareholders to compel them to sell their prop- | erty against their will, hat woula hardly bea {air | or generous policy, and, whether it were fair or gen- erous OF not, it could not be done without the con- | currence of the fovernments of Europe, and | he very mmc doubted whether that coucurrence Would be given. He was sure that their lordships | would see that it would not be right ior him to | give any expression of opinton on the abstract | expediency of a wansaction of that kind. When | @ man wanted to buy @ house or un estate, or any- | thing eise, he should not, if he were a man of sensi | Pfociaim that the possession of that house or | | Catate was absolutely indispensable to him. If the | question of the transference of the canal to an in- ternational commission, representing the govera- | ments of Europe, and’ so constituted that all might participate in the advantages of the canal on oeea terns, Were raised, and {f the terms de- manded Were fair he did not say that {t would not bea isle proposition for consideration.
