DANIEL 4MMEN. THE TRACK CHART. The following is an abstract from the track chart forwarded by Commander Belknap, showing the Position of each sounding and the depth found:— Fy : 3607 4340 4306 4041 4234 4120 4 | | ‘The following is full report just received | from Commander Beiknap of bis Soundings in the | Pacilic, in addition to the brics one received some | @ays since:— UNITED STATES STEAMSHIP TUSCARORA, } Hakopapi, Japan, June 26, 1874. Srm—1 have the honor to report to the depart- ment that | jeft Yokohama on tue 8th inst., and at ‘dawn the next morning began the work of sound- §g homeward, on a great cirele passing through She Island of Tanaga, of the Aleutian group (about | Jatitude 2 degrees north, longitude 176 degrees | west jrom Greenwich), and toward Puget’s Sound. When about 100 miles east by south from King- Kasan or Sendai Bay, o8 the east coast of Japan, the lead sunk to & depth of 3,627 1atuoms, ing 4 descent of 1,594 fathoms in a run of miles, This result seemed eXtraordinary in so hort 4 distance from land; but the next casi re- vealed a depth stili more astonishing, the sinker carrving the wire down 4,343 fathoms, without reaching bottom, On this occasion, when gome 200 fathoms of Wire were run Out, the sinker | was suddenly swept under the ship’s bottom by | the strong undercurrent and all efforts to get the wire clear and to keep it from tending underneath | ‘were unavailing, the difficulty being increased by | a iresh Lreeze abd @ moderately heavy sea, Fi- | Bally, when 4,545 fatuoms of wire had run out, and only about 150 fathoms were leit on the reel, 16 | Droke close to the suriace, and about five miles | were lost. The strain on the reel was very great, and notwithstanding & weight of 130 pounds on | the pulley line, it took three men to check and | hold the drum, and the wonder was that the wire | Rad not parted sooner. THE POWERFUL UNDERCURRENT, ‘This great strain must have been due to the ac- tion of the strong undercurrent apon the sinker, sweeping it with great force trom the ship, as wince that cast we have sounded repeatedly iu depths of more than 4,000 fathoms and had no dif- | fcalty m reaching bottom. The position of the | cast, as shown by observation, was about forty-five | Miles distant from the previous one, the strong current having carried the ship beyond the position ‘Where it was intended to sound. At the time toe ire broke it Was tending astern and under the ship, and may have been strack by the screw, though 1 am inclined to think it pulled fairly in two. Taking into consideration tue resuit of this east and ai! the circumstances attending it, I con- | eiudea that iia fine wire and comparatively | heavy plummet could be so affected by the Japan stream, the effect upon a bight of six or seven Mailes Of tejegraphic cable would be almost incal- culadle and render the process of laying it exceed- | ingly difficait, 11 not impossible. } ANOTHER TEST. I therefore determined to run back in shore and akirt the stream, beginning a new great circie, of | Point Komoto, in latitude 40 degrees north. [ also concluded to increase the welzht of the singer some twenty pounds by adding ak casting to | the eight inch shot, in order to make better ume | 4p the running down of the Wire and to opposé more resistance to the undercurrent. Ideemed it necessary, 100, to increase the distance between casts from thirty miles to Jorty miles, as the strain } on the reels im Such deep water was enormous, | crushing them outof shape and rendering them unserviceable in a very few casts, it will be seen by an inspection of the track chart of soundings that the moment the second | Wine diverges trom the coast of Niphon and | enters the eage of the Japan stream, but yet runs parallei to the Island of Yesso, the water begins to @ecpen rapidiy, and at cast No. 24, or the third cast | from the initial point of curve, a depth of 3,493 | Jathoms is ound. | on depths of 3.557 fathoms and 3,507 jathoms are reached; then tne ocean bed, or trough of the stream, drops neariy a statute mile in the run to the neXt position, where the sinker 1s not detached ‘Buti it has descended to the extraordinary depth ef 4,340 fathoms. PLAYING HAVOC WITH THE ATPARATUS, A g004 specimen of bottom sol! was brought up from that great depth, and the Miller-Caseila ther- mometer, No. 18,156, came up a@ perfect wreck. Ihe amal bulb was cracked jongitndinally and broken im two, the tubes broken into fiagments, the double balbs shivered into atoms and the ebonite Protection plate cracked and a piece crushed out Of it, Showing the enormous pressure to which it had been subjected. The thermometer sent down at the previous cast, in 5,507 fathoms, came up in- tact, though in that case the pressure was more WASHINGTON, August 27, 1874. than four and % quarter tons per square inch, reckoning the pressure at a ton for every 800 fathoms im depth. The next five casts were made in over 4,000 fathoms water—the last two revealing depths of | 4,411 fathoms and 4,655, respectiveiy—and on both occasions the wire was lost. In the first of these ‘Mstauces the pulley line jumped out of the grooy Of the reeling In balance Waee) in the most unac: untable manner, jerking the wire in suco a way 8 tO Shap it short off close to the surface. In the eat strain imposed upon ‘om Such enormous deptus. tM gently atthe time, 400 fathoms having been Feelea if at the rate of 100 fathoms in 434 minutes. | Sometimes the wire comes in much easier than at others, and cast No. 31, made in 4,120 fathoms, occupied only 1 hour 47 minutes 42 seconds. Tne @ifercace must be due to the varying action of th under currents npon the rod, specimen cup and ema! lead, increasing or diminishing the resist- ance in hauling in, according to the extent ofcurve trom the perpendicular. The actual weight of 5% miles of the wire in water would be no more than 65 pounds; add t this the weight the rod, specimen cop, small lead and fathoms Albacore line—say 11 pounds—and the | ‘total weight to haul back ts Only 76 pounds. The | friction, then, in order to pull the wire apart, | Would have to be 129 pounds and upwaros. It is Proper to say here, however, that the wire re- ceived in Yokohama, and which is now in use, is | Rot so strong as the wire first furnished tne ship | by at least fourteen per cent, the latter bearing a strain of from 228 to 206 pounds before breaking, while tue former pulls in two st a strain of 106 © pounds.

Chelseas, of Boston, vs. Chelseas, of Brooklyn—The Brooklynites Victor- ious in a Ten Inning Game. The strong nine of the Chelsea Club, of Boston, after disposing of the Concords, of Brooklyn, Wednesday afternoon came out yesterday to play their namesakes of Brooklyn, Grounds. There was not a very numerous assem- blage of spectators present, not more than 400 being within the enciosure, that more did not witness the play, for it was of a most excellent order and the march was highly exciting, particularly towards the close, when the Brooklyn boys pulled up their score until it was equal to that ofstheir opponents. The visitors area tine looking set of gentlemen and play with a vim and accuracy that 1s most admirable. Their uniform ig very similar to that worn by the Boston Red Stockings. Play began at ten minutes to four o’clock, with the Brookiyn boys at the bat. The first inning was poorly played by both sides, the home club scoring three and the visitors four runs off errors. From this time, however, until the last inning the piay- ing was first class. Any number of first class plays were made by the fielders of each club, MecCormic and Foy bearing off the paim in the outfleld, while in the infleld all dia finely. In the iourth inning the Boston boys put two runs to their account, thus bringing their score up to siX, While tae Brooklyn boys had but three. Matters stood in this shape until the sixth inning, When. the blue hosed boys gotin a single, in the eighil inning they tied tne totals by placing | ae Ce wed placing | sewer, and haul sand from the sandpits belonging | two runs to their accouat, and now the spectators became thoroughly excited and began shouting lustlly at every play made.

CREEDMOOR, ARIES ATES The Fifty-Fifth Regiment’s Practice Yesterday—A Fine Day, Bat Bad Shoot- ing. The Fifty-fifth regiment, commanded by Colonel Gilon, practised at Creedmoor yesierday.

Prisoners Dragged from the Penitentiary to Work for a Contractor. It was stated in the HERALD many weoks ago that ® system of corruption bad existed in connection with the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Hudson county, New Jersey, for the past four years, which remained undetected till the present Board was or- ganized. It remained tor Mr, Ruh to offer a reso- tution that @ committee of five be appointed to | ferret out the frauds perpetrated on the county at | Snake Hill. The committee proceeded to work with vigor and earnestness, and their investi- gations §=have resulted in the detection | of gross “irregularities,” w use 8 | mild term, on which ‘not merely the Board of Freeholders, but the Grand Jury, will have to sit in judgment. The frauds perpetrated under the Board of Public Works in Jersey City were of short | duration. They were brought to a summary close | by the courts, But in this mstance mean and Petty thefts have been carried on wita impunity | for years, and, it is said, one member and two | OMcers of the Board are involved in the dis- ; closures, The investigating committee reported three or four weeks ago, but strenuous efforts ‘were made to throw cold water on their report, and the matter was postponed again and again. | Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the | Board of Chosen’ Freeholders was held at the | Court House, Jersey City Heights. The only busi- | mess of importance transacted was the consid- | eravion of the report reierred to, Mr. Ruh | Banded tn the report, and it was read and ordered | to be entered in full on the minutes, The Board resolved themselves into a Committee of tue Whoie, Mr. Jonn E. Smith oceupyiny the chatr, The investigating committee of five members | (Coyte inciuded) presented their report on the , aleged irreguiarities and frauds on the county at | Smake Hill, Coyle was the only member who did not sign the report, The committee, as will be | Seen, present some startling 1acts for the con- | sideration of the taxpayers. After a very brief preamble, tne report opens with the statement | that a contract was awarded to William C. Wayte | for ali paving at Suake Hu, and said contract was Signed on tue 17th of April, 1873, by John brinker- hoff, director, of the Board of Freeholders, as well 'as by Wiilham ©. Whyte, contractor, and Charlies W. Ailen, Superintendent ot County ; Buildings, as witness, Whyte, when examined by the committee, denied emphaticaliy that he ever sent in any estimate lor the work, nor did he know nything whatever about it, He pronounced his mighature to the contract a forgery. He had no iv- | terest whatever in said contract. | paid by the coun y' to somevody other than Whyte, under the certificate of C, W. Allen, Superinten- , dentof County Bulidings, was $2,008 60, or $32 85 | More than the Measurement of the engineer em- | ployed by the committee showed. The eum of - $2.20 was puid per yard for the work, which 4s couble the price for which it could have been done, On the 20th September, 1873, a@ contract was Made with James Ucyle lor additional paving, fag- ging, garden curo, Coyle Was allowed to quarry the blocks out of the county provercy. and was to receive $1 65 per yard for paving, He wasto dig to the county at his own expense. According to the report of Mr. Wegener, the engineer ; already mentioned, a liberal compensation for this work Would be $6,704 77, Whereas Coyie received on the certificate of C. W, Allen, the Superintend- ent aloresaid, the sum of $7,226 86, or $622 09 more than the actual measurement . of the work. In duwging the sewer twenty-seven inmates of the County Penitentiary were taken out and put towork by Coyle, Four hundred ana fitty days’ labor was periormed by inmates oi the Penitentiary. Part of the sand was bauied by horses ard carts belonging to the county, acd yet the county never received any compensation or credit for the labor, either of the men or the | horses, or the use of the carts, | _ ‘dhe committee at unis pomt state that the labor | of the inmates of the Penitentiary was employed | under the very eyes of the members of the com- | mitiee without auy authority whatever from that | committee. Neither the minutes of the Board nor of the Supply Committee show any resolution or contract for the employment 01 such labor. Coyle Tece:ved for this work the sum Of $500 on the 20th of May, 1874, at which time the work was not per- ‘ formed, nor any part thereof, Jurther than the de- positing ol the materiais on the ground. Yet a certificate was issued lor said amount by ©. W. ' Alen, superintendent, “for work done according ' to contract,” which contract cannot be found any- Where. In the winter of 1872 inmates of the Peni- ; tentlary wno Were painters were taken out before daylightin the morning in charge 0! one of the keepers named Patrick Farmer, aod bringing | with them painting materials were conducted to | the house of Coyle. ‘This house taey painted, and | they were taken back to the Penitentiary iate at | might. This fact is borne out by the amaavits of | the keeper and one of the men so employed. No | credit of any kind was ever given ty tne county | Jor the meu, Officer or materials, bor was any per- mission given by the Board ior such employment. In January, 1872, work was commenced in Whyte , & Coyle’s quarry Snake Hiii, Futeen men on an average—inmates of the Peniten- | tlary—in charge of officers were empioyed day im tos quarry for a long time. The tools employed were the property of tae county, and blacksmiths were employed by the county to ‘ keep thera in repair. Tnousands 0) dollars were paid by the county tor the work performed in the quarry. Claims were presented and coilected from | the county lor large amounts under the names of | ditfercnt individuals, yet all these claims were col- lected by Coyle. ‘Those persons in whose names We amounts were drawn were examined, and | they stated that they never knew anything of such | Claims nor did they receive any portion of | the moneys paid on sach claims, | . Over $11,000 Were drawn irom the county under ; the heading “jobbing carpenters” within @ very short time and under different names; bat in | eeurly every instance ail the sums were drawn by | \he person supposed to be superintendent of such | Work, though the werrants were drawn and made out under different names, The per- sons in whose names these sums were drawn | deny positively that they ever received any money irom the county for such work or signed anch Claims. ‘These grave irregularities (say the committee) couid Hever have occurred if the officers aud com- mittees appointed by the Board of Chosen Free- ae periormed their duties honestly and jascanuily, A considerable portion of the money which was taken irom the county way yet be recovered, or | the parties who have anjustly received it can’ be tothe law. In the building of the ack River the pilimg was taken from the couaty property, and not only was there ho compensation ever givea tothe county \nerelor, bui the county Was actually charged for , Said Material, The teams velonging Wo the county | Were empioyed without compensation. | The report closed with a recommendation that | the Board aaopt 4 resolution calung on one of its | members, James Coyle, to refund the amount over- | drawn by him from the county. An exerting de- bate followed. Coyle jumped up and ed What became of two upright boilers that had disappeared | from the counry bulidings, Mr. Rah retorted that | he would answer that cheertuily, as he had found on investigation that one of thea had been sold by Coyle to Mr. Sinclair, of Hovoken. The an- nouncement created a sensation, and Coyle fell. back into his seat. Mr. Young moved | that all the documents in tne case be referred to a commitiee of seven, to be re- ported on at the meeting to be held two weeks | trom tpat date, i¢ Motion was adopted and the following members Were appointed as the commit- | tee :—Messre, Murray, O’Keuly, Speer, Joyce, Cox, Danielson and Frost. by Coyle, Make Up the amount above reverred to:— | | $500, $1.996, $1,077, $350, total, | $7,823 56. The amount received in Whyte’s game ; Was $2,008 60, One of the contracts which, 1t is alleged, Were fraaduient, was signed by John | Brinkerhow, as Cuairman of the Board, another by the succeeding chairman, James M. Startup. A most important discovery was made by the | commuttee in their investigations. In advertising jor proposals the words “dig sewer ‘b | appeared, In the contract tn possession of Coyle | the clause reads, ‘cig, screen and haw sand,” a | Very material diference, as severaj contractors | Woo would readily compete for screening sand | would be unwilling to enter into the business of | Cigging a sewer, and certainly there would be a Vast difference in she cost of both, In the debate which took piace on this point in the Board yester- day Mr, Rut, chawman of the Investigating Com- mittee, stated positively that the comtract now in posseasion of Coyle did not correspond with the proposal ior the work issued by the Board and pudlished in the official papers, On the Sogus contract signed witn the fame of William U. Whyte the sum o1 $2,008 60 was id by the county. Whyte sets forth in his aM®davit that he hever received one cent of that amount, nor did he know anything of its being paid to any one else in his name, In connection with these frauds @ member of | the late Board of Freehoiders stated to & HERALD reporter \hat & case occurred auring his verm ; Which he intends to bring before the Grand Jury.

Eleven o'clock the Mayor thought was too late an hour to call the Board of Aldermen and Com- mon Council of this city together tor tne purpose of meeting them on their arrival and tendering them a formal reception; but were he most anxious to do 80, he said, this would have been almost impossible, for they were all scat- | tered at seaside retreats and elsewhere, | spending as ieisurely a8 possible the last | lingering days of summer. Mayor Havemeyer, thereiore, remained in his office, comiortably awaiting the appearance of the municipal authori- ties of Cincinnati. He jelt somewhat disappointed ag the day rolied on to five o’clock in the alternoon and no Western visitor introduced himself; in fact, the Mayor felt hungry and went to lunen. Here he was interrupted by :—‘Mayor Havemeyer, the Mayor of Cincinnati and entire delegation have arrived. They are at the Fiith Avenue Hotel.” “Well,” said the old man, goodhumoredly, “I will go up and see them as soon as I finish, I thought ney would have called here first; but every one to his taste.’? AT THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL. A little while alter hali-past five P. M, Mayor Havemeyer, accompanied by Mr. Farrell, Super- visor of the City Records, grrived at the Filth Ave- nue Hotel. Mayor Johnston ‘could not be found anywnere for about one-half hour, and Mr. Have- meyer patiently awaited his presence in the par- and approached the Mayor as he lounged on the sola, at first with a peculiar and awkward basn- | fulmegs characteristic of the West, but which | grew better and bolder by degrees, Mayor Johnston imtroduced, first, “himself and then the body of gentlemen represented, in the usual formal manner. r i!avemeyer seemed very polite and courte: sud etter some minutes felt quite at home amouy his West | ern iriends, He did not taik mucu on Western | trade nor Western politics, and somehow appeared less eloquent than usual Ma’ Johnston ex- plamed to him the grand democretic tendency of Onto and the government of the city which he represented—a city of 300,000 inhabitants, having fiity councilmen and twenty-five aldermen. “He conlessed her public institutions were jar behind those of Philadelphia and New York, and yet he feit proud of them, but tas was perhaps because he had never previously caught a Ut fe spoke of the them in the “Quaker City,” and spoke as u he felt assured the authorities of New York would treat them similariy. The ola Knickerbocker diploma- tist istened silently and approvingly, smiled at ali that bad been saiq, and then politely asked what he couid do jor them, what time they had to stay, and what they would wish to see in par- ticular within the city limits, Mayor Jonn- ston declined to offer any suggestion, and tere |-@ pleasant discussion ensued. Hnally satd he would send Commissioner Latmbeer to them to-morrow, and that ne himsel! would be jad to show them the Page institations on Ward’s and Randaul’s islands, as well as any others they might desire to visit or in estigate. Eight of the delegation only—the Mayor of Cincinnati in- cluded—were then present, the others being scat- tered around the city. Some agreed to the pro- posal of the Mayor, but others declared their intention of returning to Cincinnati this morning, In all probability, however, they will see things in an Fear light and accept the Mayor’s proposal wo-day. . THE STEAMSHIP BOTHNIA. On Wednesday, the steamship Bothnia, which the Cunard line have added to their already nu- merous fleet, satled from New York on her return trip.
