The Mayors Answer—Why It Was Not Forwarded to Governor Dix—The Old Knickerbocker on “Time.” There was acharming s¢ance at the Mayor's of- fice in the City Hall yesterday. The descendant of Rip Van Winkle had his answer to the charges pre- sented to the Governor all ready, but it was nec- essary to have the engrossed copy of the original answer read over, 80 that an “it” or a “but” or “notwithstanding” should not render a passage obscure or @ sentence incomplete. For this pur- pose there was an assemblage of the best brains of | the municipality in the Mayor’s private office, there to revise, suggest, amplify, elaborate or extract from the ponderous “Answer” all ambiguities or doubtful phrases, in order that the dull brain of His Excellency Governor Dix should not be muddjed still furtner by prepositions—which could by no possipility be propositions—so that he might reach bya quick mental process the ulti- Mate of all this crimination and recrimination, nd render his gubernatoiial judgment accord- ingly. At the witching hour of high noon, when lunch bummers rejoice and tue Chatham street sa- loons give up their mob, the Mayor announced tu the reporters in waiting—curivus equerries, knights without spurs and spurious knights—that he would send the famous document to the Gov- ernor at half-past three P. M. He thereupon retired to the sanctuary and was lost to the eyes of men, low @ nice discussion sprung up between tie re rs. One bet a fine toothpick agains: a rab- ber comb that the document would not be seaays another wagered that the Mayor was a hashish- eater and was constantly dreaming of “Abou ben Adhen” and the ‘Paradise of the Faithful; stil another volunteered the remark that tue Mayor was a believer in the occult science of the stars, and was having bis horoscope cast by a Sixth ave- nue seer, and had seen therein his ipse dixit, At all events it Was agreed that His Honor had availed himseifoi “the law’s delays,” but that the time had come when the grave charges had to be met, and that circumstantally and fully the great re- former must answer to the tribune of tue peopie Jor 1ueompetency in office or trusts betrayed. At three o’clock and fliteeu minutes appeared one of the Secretaries ol the Mayur—a benign, Smooth headed man, who sad, ‘The document 13 nearty ready.” “How will it be sent to the Governor?” asked a Herald reporter; “ior example, by the pony ex- press 7”? “On, Do!” said the Secretary, “by the express train, and in charge Ol a ~pecial messenger.” “How can that be??? queried the wiue awake re- Porter; “there are only two trains a day to West Hampton (the only staion on the Sag Haroor branch of the Long Island Ratiroad near to the Governor's residence), and the last one is about leaving.”” “No, no!” replied the Secretary mildly, “There's @ train every hour to Hempstead.” “Hempstead |” echoed the reporters in chorus, “Why that’s Stewart’s new city; it’s forty miles trom West Hampton.” The official disappeared within the sacred por- tals of the private oflice, witu a Long Island rail- road time table in his hand. In a few moments he reappeared, his brow dripping with the honest dews Of official perspiration. le aslmpiy gasped, “The — document—will not be sent to—His Ex- cellency—until Monday.” The old Knickervocker slipped out of a back door, and escaped the reporters by going up town. A City Marshal Charged with Neglect. Magdalen Koch, a housekeeper, of Orchard street, yesterday charged City Marshal Lippmann with having obtained from her $2, on tne promise to | collect @ certain amount of wages—some $40— | which were due to her, and not having done any- thing about it. This is the third or fourth charge which bas been brought against this City Marshal, who has thus far always succeeded in com- of the compiaints preferred against city marshals are Simpceed of in this manner, and they are thus enabled to continue their practice of extorting money from defenceless women whenever they think that they can do so with impunity.

Balloon Experience Ex- traordinary. CAMP LIFE IN CLOUD-LAND. A Lady Passenger Among the Stars. As the representative of the HERALD clambered over the edge of the basket attached to Donaldson’s balloon that rose from the Hippodrome oo last Friday evening he was conscious of that peculiar tingling sensation of the nerves which comes but thrice in this liie—when you are up for your first class examination, when you are being married aud when you make a balloon ascension. It was not fear, but that fluttering feeling about the heart which 18 rather delightful than otherwise, To add to the excitement of the scene there was @ more than usually good audience present watching the equestrian performances upon the track. The spectators seemed the or- dinary joyous holiday makers, but when they turned their gaze to where the five Journalists who accompanied Donaidson sat, in the wicker basket beneath the bellying, strug- gling, gassy monster, anchored to earth with bags of sand, there came that saddened expression in their eyes which is always noticed to be a proper part of the make-up of @ deputy sheriff at an exe- cution, The ladies were particularly sympathetic in their giances, and seemed to have made up their minds, individually and collectively, that five imnocent journalists and one daring atronaut were going straight to a cloudy grave.

There was the rush of @ race around the track, and the blare of the band gave a brassy éclat to our departure. Donaldson sprang into the ropes, and in an instant all eyes Were centred on the swaying wicker car. The mo- ment had come. There was just time to see the air ; Stow white with the premomitory kerchiefs, and | Clear and distinct rang out Donaldson’s voice, “Let her go!” Jn an instant we flashed seven | hundred feet, straight as an arrow’s course, into the air, and hang over the opening in the canvas | roof of the Hippodrome througa which we had | ascended, But only for a moment. There was just ; time to respond to the waving of adieux by | Iriends and spectators, and to listen to the cheers | of the populace who densely packed the neighbor- | ing streets—cheers which came up to us witha faint and far-away suggestion, when we began to driit toward the Hudson in a southwesterly direc- tion, ‘Then we fully realized the fact that our atrial | ship was launched for its uncertain cruise.

SENOR ALDAMA ON THE CUBAN SITUATION, An Appeal for the Recognition of Bel- ligerent Rights. New York, July 23, 1874 To THE EpIroR OF THE HEBALD:— Late news from Cuba confirms the reports previously received of new and signal successes by the patriot troops over their Spanish oppressors, In view of this information I feel constrained to make & personal appeal to you in behalf of the long suffering iriends of treedom on that island. For now nearly six years my countrymen of Cuba have conducted this fearful struggle with Spain alone and uniriended from withont. Their natura} ally in their contest was the United States, They expected from it succor and sympathy, and with anxious licarts have pleaded for equal rights with Spain, How these appeals have been answered is @ gloomy history. The administration has not, up to this time, been able to see its way ciear to accord belligerent rights to our revolutionists, Of eourse it has put lest of | no Umit on the privileges of Spain. The effect o! reached at twenty minutes past jour, the barom- | eter knowing an elevation of 1,800 feet. At twenty- _ four minutes past jour the balloon was 2,200 fect above tie jevel of the sea, Twenty-seven minutes past four o’clock the bal- loon’s suadow fell on the waters of the Hudson, our elevation being 2,450 feet. handfuls of colored circulars, taken along as part ©: our ballast, were thrown out, which slowly fut- | tered downward like | A FLOCK OF GORGEOUSLY TINTED BUTTERFLIES. ' At hall-past four o’clock we were 2,500 feet igh. From this point | ‘then we began to descend until an elevation | of 1,800 feet was taken at thirty-three minutes past four, By thts time we had reached tne Jersey shore and began to arift over Weehawken, Busy asthe party were, there was pienty of time to note the charming effect produced by the green heids, dotted with villages, that lay unrolled be- neath us like a gigantic panorama.

They saluted the voyagers | right royally, and entreated them entnusiasticaily to descend. But Donaldson was forced to decline the invitation. At twenty minutes past five Pater- son hove in view, the elevation being 626 feet. We | feil again, being only 150 feet high at thirty-five ; Minutes past five, with our drag rope raising havoc among the forest foliage, Our course then was north by west. At forty minutes past five, and when at an elevation of 260 feet, one of the | party who had brought a life preserver along, cal- culating upon an ocean trip, ofered to sell it at | halt price. No takers, SKIMMING OVER A WILL TOP, 80 near the suriace that the trees nearly touched the basket, we were enabled to ask a rustic, at | lorty-three minutes past five, how far we were from New York city, and were told twenty-six | miles, More ballast was thrown out here, and tne | batioon ascended rapidly, At fifty-five’ minutes | Past live weiunched, At twenty minutes past six our course was vorth-nortuwest.

For neariy as long a time alread revolutionary patriots struggled against the pretensions of George the Third and Lord North have our Cuban brothers fonght against the gall- ing yoke and hideous despotism of oid Spain, Al the questions at issue in your own war with Great Britain are involved in the siruggle with Cuba to- day, coupled with the prospect of escape from the oo i@ tyrannles that ever oppressed any people, The late successes of the patriots having struck terror to their hearts, tae Span- lards are now making a supreme efiort to crush the revolution, From this time as your own | forward we shall expect to receive reports of | bloody battles, Itis in this hour we solicit your powerful pen In aid of our sacred cause. iter all, your governmens is one in which public opinion, strongly usserted, mustjand will prevail. itis the great merit of your beautiful system that no admiuistration can withstand an overwhelming expression of popular desire.

Surely @ revolution that has been six years ip existence, that has cost Spain over 100,000 lives 140,000,000 In the attemp: to suppress it, ana which is now stronger than at any moment since it began; has earned a title to belligerency at least.
