7 JAMMING THE HUDSON. Filling Up the Channels of the River with Filth. DANGERS TO NAVIGATION. What the Dock Commissioners and the Pilot Commissioners Have To Say About It. For the past ten yoars and more merchants and | others who have tne welfare of New York city at | heart bi done their utmost to have the harbor protected from obstructions and improved for pavigation in every way possible, and, mainly through the exertions of the Pilot Commissioners» backed up by the money and influence of come of our largest shippers, have they been partially sac- cesstul. So far as the upper bay Is concerned the stringent icgislation against making it asort of | dumping ground for all the refuse of the city and against the making of it the receptacle of the coal ashes and cinders of incoming snd outgoing steamers has been reasonably eftective. How- ever, of late captains and masters of vessels seom to have forgotten that there is a pronibitory law against TBE ASH DUMPING BUSINESS and bave disregarded its provisions tosuch a Oagrant degree that it was deemed necessary day before yesterday for the Pilot Commissioners to \ssue the following order, which 1s to be handed to avery vessel's captain coming in or going out Qgntilevery captain and master having dealings with this port can no longer plead ignorance in base he violaics the law :— Orrice or tne Boarp of Commissioners OF Leo) No. 40 Burne Suir, New York, Sept. 1, 1874. The captain and officers of this vessel are hereby noti- fied that thoy are forbidden to throw any ballast or other material trom their vesse! into the liarbor under This notice 1s applicable to all ships inside of Sandy Hook. ‘The pilots are required to read this notice ta the oMcers ot every vessel they may joard. By order of the Board. koa GEOKGE W. BLUNT. Secretary. But while it is to the interest of every shipper and every merchant that the lower bay should be kept in safe navigable condition, it 1s equally to their interest, as it ts to that of almost everybody trom bere to Albany and beyond, that the Hud- gon River should also be protected against ob- stractions that may render navigation, if not im- possible, at least dangerous and costly. And yet, If report speaks truly, the laws of the Legislature looking to its protection are daily set in defiance by the captains of vessels and others who ply its Waters. In 1457 a law was passed prohibiting the throwing of ashes or cinders from vessels into the viver, and still there are those, who pretend to know of what they affirm, who say that they have frequently of late, at night time, seen flremen shoving cinders out of the fire rooms into the water. But just now the chief complaint comes from residents along the river, between this city and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, who contend that up to avery recent period it bas been the practice with captains of tug boats, having in charge scows which are employed to take away THE DREDGINGS FROM NEW DOCKS ond elsewhere, to dump the stuff at points as vear as Fort Washington and even as low down as opposite Carmansville and Manhattanville. The law, strange to say, gives “dumpers” the right to dump anywhere avove Spuyten Duyvil Creek, but nowhere below—that is, without given them posi- | tively tne right, 1t does so impliedly by prohibiting them from throwing into the water any cinders, @arvage or the like below the creek. Most of the complaints in regard to this matter have come from persons in the neighborbood of Pleasant Val- ley, Fort Lee and the Englewood dock vicinity. A HERALD reporter, desirous of ascertaining il possi- ble if there was any good ground for the com- plaints, and if so by whom the violations were committed, a day or two ago paid a visit to several parties at their places, who, he was led matter. Mr. Meeks, of Guttenberg, who has charge of an immense estate in the neighborhood, which basa large river frontage, was met with in bis travels. The old gentleman spoke quite Ireely on the subject, and duriug tne conversation which ensued he remarked:—“Ol my own knowledge I could not say that of late there has been any | dumping going on anywhere below the creek, but | Uhave heard a pray maby persons say there was | considerable. { kuow one thing, however, and | that is that about two or three years ago atscov- | ered that the mud and filth dredgings placed in | soows where the Cunard and White Star steamer | companies were deepening their docks were | being almost datly dumped right in front | of our property. 1 soon, alter a_ little investigation, lound out that the scows belonged | to Cummings & Morris, and | at once put ia wy protest, and threatened the law and all that. | The result was that the scows did not visit me | ny more, and as they had to dump somewhere, jare say,” aud the old gentleman chuckled to Qimselt as he uttered the words. “they went the Qext day and dumped their nasty stuf in front of | somebody else's place, not too tar off to make | their journey any the less profitable in the matter | of time consumed in pevdns trom the dredging | piace to the dumping piace than when they paid | @ the nonors. It is a notorious Jact,” adaed Mr. | ‘eoks, “that | TUG AND SCOW OWNERS who contract to carry away th: dredgings violate the law every day. You see the shorter the dis- tance they make (rom the dock being dredged to where they get rid of it the more profit they make. It ts a crying shame that they should be allowed to goon as theydo. By and by the waters in this beautiful harbor of ours will not be able to ride an ordinary sized coasting smack. As | said before, [ have not very lately seen anything like @ violation Of jaw by the scows; but there are others who, if they wanted to, could tell how men are getting rich around us every day by filling up the river thia side oi Fort Washington with the refuse and Oley dug from the docks.” TWO RELUCTANT WITNESSES. The reporter then started on the steamer Pieas- ent Valley for that p.easant place; but, it shouid | be said, that before starting he was iniormed that Captain Dean, oi the Alexis, knew all about tne scow peopie’s shortcomings. But the Captain roved to be a witness who knew of only wnat he jad heard others talk about; true, he had not seen the scows unioaded below the creek, but he bad met then every day going up the river loaded and coming down shortly aiterwards unloaded. He then reierred the reporter to Captain Leary, of the Pleasant Valley. us a man who khew all about the matter, “You teil nimi tod you to see him,” said he; “ell bim who you are and youll find he’li talk.” At the end ot the steamer’s journey, however, at Fort Lee, the re- | porter learned that Captain Leary was the same | sort of man as his confrere, Dean. “Why,” satd de, with a look of wonderment on his sun-beaten face, “I never saw the scows unload anywhere, I | didn’t. I've seen them go up the river every day and come pack mighty quick, and I've heard peo- ple say they saw imauy of them unload way this side of Fort Washington Point, But i you want to getattne full tacts about all this business there’s a min at Pleasant Valley who can tell you all about it ’'m sure.

Tower. OOK wt e otuer tu the ho THE FISHERMEN’S LAMENT, neighborhood of where now stands the Engle wood docks told the reporter that the practice of tbrow- | ing the dredgings of the New York docks in the | river had driven almost ail the fisn away. | by year the shad were getting less, as weil as | every other kind of fisi tuat usea to be found in abundance, amount of damage to the fisuermen, ‘Why,’ | said he, “even the crabs can't stand it and are | getting scarcer every year, and the same can be said even of the little fish that we get along shore { sor batt. Many of the fish we do catch nowadays are a dead loss to us, as the flesh has the odor of | the nasty stuffs that are dumped in the river, and | it oitentimes tastes oily and bitter.” | WHAT THE SCOWS DO, At Fort Lee the reporter had a conversation with Mr. George Annett, Wao runs the i1ttie ierry- ; boat Flora to and from Manhattanville, 130th stree George, together with his brother Robert and s: other lamily relatives, have lived ali their hves | here on the Fort Lee estate, and consequently | know @ great deal about the changes that have | been gowmg on for years past on both sides of the river. Concerning the scow business they ail had | pretty much the same story to teil. They haa | olten, but not of late montis, seen loaded | turn about and proceed back to the city, showing | conclusivety, tnough they could not testiiy on oath to the fact, tuat they bad dropped their loads on the spot. The warm, one ol them thought, would not be muck if the unloading pad taken place in the channel, near Fort Washington | Point, as they said in some places in the river there the water was reported to be over 200 teet eep. in ‘ime ge at the stuff dropped and wash it down to shallower places anc thence along down the pter | lines, Mr, Robert Annett uscertained some time | ago that a number of scows were dumping off Fort Lee, or were avout to do so, and on his warn- ing them of the consequence they prodently went | lurther up stream. | amy one else in the neighbornood had, | far as the reporter could loaded, stop lor a while and theu turn about. Tius evidence, although only | circumstantial, is quite strong enough to prove | that tue scows have often unloaded below the creek, contrary to law. Besides, the manner of | unloading the scows 18 @ peculiar one. ‘the cargo is dropped irom the bottom of tne boat, and, of | course, immediately sinks; @ boatman, who might be only a iew rods off all the time not bemg able tor a certainty to tell whether the load had becn dropped or not. ‘A QUESTION OF IDENTITY. It became @ task with the reporter during his investigations to ascertain who the tugs belonged | to, but 1t was rather a diMcult one and finally | turned out to be impossible. He was given | the names of several tugs which tow scows, | but as no one he met with was willing to say that one of them ever stopped and waited tor the scows to unload below the legai dumping ground this did nut amount to much. It seemed to he the | impression of parties at Englewood and Fort Lee ‘that the scows all belonged to the Department of Docks, and the reporter, therefore, yesterday | paid a visit to tne Dock Department to see what | Saw them come up | the Commissioners had to say about it. 1¢ may be | here mentioned, en passant, that, while at Pleas- | ant Vailey, he learned that several scow loads of dredgings from the Vanderbilt docks had been unloaded in the river opposite Fifty seventh street, Lhe contractor ol the work there being the responsible party. Aiter au admonition irom the Department of scows Where the law prescribes he should; at least he has not since been detected in any additional violation of the law. Oncalling at the Department of Docks the reporter met Commissioner Budd, | who denied most emphatically that any of the de- | partment scows were allowed to dump even one | foot this side of the legal limt on the Hudson | River. There were three dumping grounds, he | said—one on the flats south o1 tne Narrows, another near Sands’ Pot, on the sound, and | the third north of Spuyten Duyvil Creek. ‘lo | prove that the departmeut tugs always went | to the right spot he cited the fact tnat the tugs they hired were paid by the hour, = it would pot he = their Li arrhaag to ene | | the journey up the river a shorter one than | to believe, could give him definite facts avout the | i nee to reach the legal dumping ground would. Asfor the tugs the department owned, the cap- | tains and other employés valued their places too | well to throw them up by the slightest dis- | obedience of orders. He said, moreover, that two | captains had been dismissed tor dumping scows | the limits; yet one had done so only by There were many private tug and scow owners who did not hesitate, when they got a chance, to dump short of the limits. A BLUNT CONFESSION, Pilot Commissioner Blunt on being called upon and spoken to on the subject, satd that they nad not heard of any scow dumping siort of the limits, and if he did he would have their owners indicted. As to dumping at aii in the river, he was deaa agaipstict. He had last year attempted to have a Jaw passed in the Legisiavure giving the Pilot Commissioners the same authority over the whole , river that they now possess as to the point be ow Spuyten Duyvil Creek, so that no dumping of garbage or cinders could be done in any par: of the river. The bil! passed the Senate, “put its r. Biunt, “defeated in the lower House by the iree use of money.” THE CONCLUSION, —~ Thus much for the scows which are satd to be dumped where they ought not to be on the Hud- sop, It would seem irom ali the statements ob- tained on the subject that the practice has not been much in vogue of late, but that some of the tug captains are often willing to take the risk of “dumping short” when they can do so with little chance of detection. “THE DEAD ALIVE.’ RE STE Mysterious Disappearance of a Mexican im Taos—Four People Committed for His Murder, When He Tarns Up Alive and Well. {From the Denver (Colorado) News.)

THE LOAN BILL. | The Loan bill authorizes the borrowing of | 21,0 200 (rate of interest seven and three-tenths per t) for ten or twenty years. The money, vue /alsed, is to be devoted to the development of st culture, bullding warehouses and other pubitc | aprovements.

Some persons are apt to decry the intelit- gence of native representatives, particularly when questions of finance are under discussion; but one thing may be said, they are set against all schemes of inflation of currency, whether to move crops or for any other purpose. A Mr. Groom, of your city, has taken @ lively interest in our financial affairs. The Advertiser, of this city, has received @ pamphiet issued by Mr. Groom and has also. been in receipt of correspondence from that gentleman, all of which has been gravely spread betore our people. The scheme proposed is a very plausible one; but, un- fortunately, the riajority ol our business men have not yet reached that advanced position in finance where they can swallow the dogma that the use of gold or any other merchandise as a currency 18 a barbarism. Our only difficulty so tar has been that our desire for gold has never been sated; when we have had a suriei:, sutfered from it, we May take kindly to Mr. Groom’s paper, MINERAL WEALTH.

DYNASTIC CONSPIRACY—SUDDEN DEATH OF «AN IN- FORMER, The adherents of Queen Emma have created a little disturbance. A party of the ringleaders in tne riot of the 12th of February held a meeting and | discussed the propriety of again beating the rep- | resentatives On the occasion of the prorogation.

The excitement was more than he could endure, as he was already suffering trom disease oj the heart, The arrest of the conspirators was soon completed, and what might have been a riot was nipped in the bud. The parties arrested have been examined and all but one dismissed.

A UNITED STATES SAILOR IN A ROW. Stabbing Germans at Honolulu—A Seri- ous Affray. HONOLULU, August 21, 1874 ‘The United States ship Bevicia 1s stilt in our har- bor, a very welcome guest. One of her crew got into an unfortunate affray a few days since which resulted in bis stabbing two of our German residents. The story goes that the sallor was making love to one of our frail ones, when the Germans, to his mind, interfered unwar- rantably, upon which Jack spoke his mind so forct- bly that the Germans eit justified in setting upon him with their canes and giving him a drubbing, Jack beat a retreat until he tound a shipmate, from whom he borrowed a claspknile and return- ing to the scene oi the tray immediately set about cutting the Germans up 1m a terrible manner, Fears were entertained for the life of the man worst cut up, but he is now thought to be safe. OITY TAX PAYMENTS. Money Coming in Fast, but Inadequate Help to Receive it. It is now nearly one week stoce General Martin T. McMahon, Receiver of Taxes, commenced the collection of the annual taxes on real as well as personal property. The first week usually is rather light, and, as a general thing, the larger amounts are paid as late as possible, in order that the money may draw interest as long as possible. | On all payments made prior to the 1st prox. a re- | pt cent is allowed. After that, to | e bate of seven December 1, the face of the tax bill at par ts ex- acted, and subsequent to that date interest is charged by the city, amounting to one per cent per month. Last year the Receiver of Taxes had a large force of cierks, who attended to the collections and entries. This year, however. he has not one- third of the help needed, owing to the reduction of the necessary appropriation by the Board of Es- umate. Twenty clerks from the Finance Department | were detailed to assist the Receiver of Taxes; but, as there are thirty-tive books two be taken care of and only twenty men to Q» it, the work must necessarily be very siow, netwithstanding the empioyés are engaged upwards of twelve hours «dally. Some 300 en- velopes are received, each containing checks for the payment of taxes, which $500,000. These envelopes have to remain un- opened until the reguiar day’s work ts done, aud the taxpayers, Who wait in line irom morning until five o'clock at night Jor their receipts, are relieved irom jurther attendance. Then the worn- out clerks are compelled to take charge of the checks which have accumulated during the day, enter the amounts and sign receipts for every dollar tax thus remitted, On Thursday William B. Astor paid $249,300 for reai estate and $70,000 lor personal taxes. Mr. Peter Gillett paid $100,000 real estate and 000 personal taxes. ‘The other ‘solid men’ have not yet come to the front, but there are some taxpay- ers who equal the above if not sarpass the amount. About $1,090,000 are the datly recetyts of the office now, General McMahon compiains bitterly of the lack of clerical help in his department. “ITY TREASURY, Comptroller Green reports the following dis- bursements and receipts of the treasury yester- day:— DISBURSEMENTS No. of Warrants, Amant.

An Interesting Forgery Case—Sentenced to Five Years’ Imprisonment. A CONTRACTOR SUING THE CITY 4 Merchant of this city named Samuel Stricker ‘was yesterday arrested by Deputy Marshal Bern- hard, charged with obtaining goods on alse pre- tences to the amount of $70,000 in value. It ap- | Pears by the aMdavits that Stricker was, antil recently, a fancy goods merchant doing business at No. 323 Broadway. A few days since he went into bankruptcy. A short time previous he pur- chased, as alleged, a large amount of goods and sbipped them to Baltimore and other places with the purpose of deiranding his creditors. The de- fendant was yesterday brought before United Staves Commissioner Osborn, who held him in $20,000 bail to answer. Baravin Barin and Mio Carpio, two Italians, were yesterday arrested and brought before United States Commissioner Os- born charged witn stealing mail bags. They were held in $250 bail to answer. INTERESTING CASE OF FORGERY. In the General looking young man named Julius L. Mendelsohn, who was jointly indicted with Edmund Houschield, | was placed on trial charged with forgery in the | third degree. The proof adduced by the prosecn- tion to sustain the allegation was that on the 4th ot June the accused went to the store of Julius Koenig, No. 369 Third avenue, bill of cigars and tobacco amounting to $345. He offered in payment a check for $490 on the Im- porters and Traders’ Bank, purporting to be signed by Max Stadler, who pronounced the sig- nature a forgery. Assistant District Attorney No- lan offered to prove that on the same day the ac- cuse/ offered other similar checks in payment for | jewelry, morder to establish the gulity intent which the prisouer had at the time he offered the check named in the indictment, Prisoner’s counsel objected, and the Court over- | ruled the objection, to which ruling an exception was taken, Hugo Ketziall, who keeps a jeweiry | Store at No. 175 Second street, testfled that the prisoner visited his store on the afternoon of tne 4th of June and purchased gold watches and chains to the value of $996, jor which he offered in pay- Ment a check of $1,000, purporting to have been signed by Max Staaier. After the People closed their case Mr. Kintzing, for the deience, contended that the indictment was improperly drawn, and that the offence ot which the accused was guilty, if guilty at all, was that of obtaining goods under ialse pretences, ‘The Court overruled the motion of the counsel to direct the jury to acquit upon those technical grounds. THE PRISONER ON THE STAND. Julius Mendlesonn was called to testify in his own benali.
