JUDD’S WALK. The Professor in Good Spirits and on Time. TWO HUNDRED MILES ACCOMPLISHED. ‘There is every reason to anticipate a successful issue of Professor Judd’s walking feat, as he is keeping siong at the required gait and appears 2m quite as good condition as on the day he started, Me is in very g004 spirits aud talks as if perfectly confident in his ability to accomplish the severe task he has undertaken. As he advances in hts maren one begins to reatize the immense amount of PLUCK 4ND ENDURANCE required to walk a distance of 500 miles In 156 hours. It isnot merely the perpetual strain on the muscles but the strength and energy neces- sary vo stand such a iearful amount ef labor with such comparatively little sleep, On Tuesday even- imz, atter completing his one hundred and six- ‘teenth mile, he rested some fourteen minutes and | theo started of again, walking pretty briskly at the rete of amile in fourteen minutes, There ‘were quite-a number of people present during the eveniug, including several ladies, who appeared to take especial interest in the performance of the pedestrian. GTLMORE’S BAND PLAYED some lively airs, such as “Tbe British Grenadier,” “Ninety-five” and “The GirlI Left Bebind Me,” ‘nd they appeared to enliven Judd, as he quick- ened his gait and shortly alterwara made hig mile ‘im 12m. 248. He halted on the first lap of the 126th mile, and after taking off his socks had his feet ravped and powdered, After finishing bis 130th mile he went to bis room, and, after a bath and a rub down, lay down for some rest. He did not #leep very well, and got up shortly after five A. M. He was then rubbed and put on the track, but aid mot Move very lively until after walking a mile. He made his first FIVE MILES: yesterday morning in 1b. 22m. 21s. His, morning ‘walks are, of course, rather dull, as there is no- body in the Rink, with the exceptiun of the judges, ‘but toward evening, when people begin to drop in, things. Lven up,'the pedestrian feels in better! Spirite and walks accordingly. Aiter walking six mules he stopped 37m, 208, for breakiast, and ate a pretty good mval. He was rubbed down and started of rather slowly, making nis first mile in Jim. 358, He soon begun totunprove, and madé nis 1418¢ mile in 16m. 41s, There were only # few spec- lators in the morning, and they come in asuaily. between eight und ten A.

On nis 171et mile he stopped tor 29m. 5a. to eat Lis supper.

On his next mile Judd became considerably ‘cited, a8. some boy threw a.stone at him through a window.

Judge Titsworth regretted that mot yet arrived at a verdict, but being very 1mportant and having caused the State much expense, be did not feel warranted in com- giving with the request, It was unpleasant (or im to do it, he said, but duty required him to Teturn them to their room for deliberation. He added, significantly, that he bad known of juries being out tor three and four days.

It has been on the aocketever since, and all turimen are pretty Jamiliar witn th case. Briefly it is this, Messrs.

The com- piainantsaid that the distanced mare trotted the race In strict conformity witn the rules. The Board, upon consultation, decided they could not teview the race in question under the rules, ex- cep? that charges ol traud were mane against the judges, | Mr. Goldsmith. hereupon, withdrew the appeal; but, being permitted to speak, said that if such rulings were the case norse owners tm the future could have but little standing, If itis impossible to zo behina tne judges, by whose connivance, 12 many cases, fraudulent transactions on the tur! are perpetrated, be thought 1% @ very hard matter, and even with all the 1ufluence and dignity given to trotting by the Board of Appeals it would sink so low that noue would do tt reverence. In this race he /elt partic- ulurly aggrieved, more so than at any other time during bis career On the turf, and it was a pity the action of the judges could not be reviewed, Mr. Goldsmith also thoughts that rule 30, under which the mare was distanced, was entirely too loose in'its construction, and questioned if it now. read as it was framed.

Earls Derby and Carnarvon on the British Commercial Relations with Canada and the United Stat {From the London Post, Nov. 27.) Yesterday a0 inducnotial deputation. represent ing fifty-two chambers of commerc., nad an in- terview with Lords Derby and Carnarvon at the Foreign Office on treaties of commerce made on behalf of any colony or dependency of Great Britain with joreign powers, with special refer- ence to the draft treaty now peuding between the United States and Canada, Mr. SAMPSON LLoyp, M. P., aaid, witn reference | to the treaty now pending between the United 7 States and Oanada, they merely wished to suomit | as & principle which should not be deviated from, that in any case where a colony or dependency , Regotiated @ treaty wiih @ foreign country, tt | should be @ principle that England shonid not be | put in @ Worse position than any foreign country. If the treaty between the United States and | Canada was ratified as proposed, and counte- | nanced up acertain point by the government, | English manufacturers coming in ander the gen- eral tariff of Canada would be at a great uisadvan- tage as compared with the United States; and theretoreit was not only unfair in principle, but | exceedingly injurious 10 its practical eflect. Lord DeRpy—I may save you some trouble at the outset by stating that there is no difference of | opinion between Her Majesty’s government and yourselves in the principle you lay down, Measra. Firth, Barber, Martin and Hawkes nav- | ing urged that Canada raised her revenues prin- | cipally trom import duties, and therefore as her | expenditure was likely to be largely increased on | @ canal between the St. Lawrence and Lake Cham- plain, much desired vy the United States, there | was every temptation for Canada to treat the United States more favorably than England and this was to be guarded against, in reply Lord Dessy said:—This ts a very im- portant matter and | do not know that I ever re- | ceived a deputation in whose views I so SAurely concur. Your cuse is in substance acceded to. must again repeat that which | stated at the out set, that upon the main point which is or was sup- posed to be at issue, viz,—its belug the duty of the British government io see that f™ any negotia- tions of this kind Knglish trade and English man- wactures Were not placed at @ disadvantage as compared with the trade of manulactures of any joreign countries, there is between you and &s an absolute and entire agreement. We should have fatied most grossly in our duty if, for any interest, political or diplomatic, or for any consideration whatever, Do matter of what kind, we had agreed (0 allow of the imposition of a dlf- ferential duty tn favor of the produce or the man- uiactures of the United States us against our own, (‘‘Hear, hear.”) That never has been our intention, And there 1s nothing in the treaty, a8 we under- stand, which leads to that conciusion, Speaking for myself I think we have guarded that point pretty carefully, and it was with some surprise vhat [learnt first of the apprebenstons entertained on that subject. J thing you will excuse me if 1 don’t go into some of the minor matters which have been @dverted to. But something was said as to the tmportance of the Vanadian canals. Well, no doubt that 18 @ matter which deserves very grave constaeration; but I may eay, speaking generally, that we have thought that in tue course of these negotiations the colonial government and the gentlemen employed to negotiate on behalf of the colony were sufficiently good judges of their own local interests, and our duty was mainly, in watching the negotiations, to sec that nothing was mmserted m the treaty and that nothing was done Walch Was umiavorable to imperial interests. Now, as to the question whether the definition of articles in the schedule is ruficiently distinct or not, that is a matter upon which you are eminently qualified to express an opinion, and I should be very glad to receive from you in writing any statements in detail which you may have to make on that point. I will only observe tuat In regard to articles of commerce there ts always @ Constderable difficulty with this question of detinition, because the terms which are in use wt one time pags Out of ase in a few years, and IT suppose no treaty has ever been concinded but that some. question has been gisga that the definitions were too vague. The same o| Jections were raised to the older Praesens but we have a memorandum of the Colonial Office which sare that “ander fie old reciprocity treaty questions arose ‘whether particalar articles umé within ita general words. It may be said iat during the twelve years during whicn it was in operation, involving an interchange 0! no less than fifty-two duties, amounting to £672,000,000, rite senere eben oe be? no sent aif- culty, or impediment.” Now, sometuing wes said a8 to the danger of toate £ bhi feeling, or Gipinshing the good feel- ing that exists between England and Canada, if auy provisions were inserted in this treaty uni vorabdle to British trade. 1 am firmly convinced, and snail endeavor to show yon, that no such pro- Visions exist, and I entirely concur in the argu- Ment that if they dia exist they would bave the etfect of creating @ bad ‘eeling between the mother country and her colonies. But there is anotherside to tl question. Always protecting, as we are bound to do, the interests of British trade, we are bound to Jo.k at the pecultar position of Canada and the relations of Canada with the United States; we are bound to place no unnecessary obstacle {n the way of the freest possible commercial relations between the two countries. I apprehend that the view which has been taken by thove who suppose that the treaty establishes @ differential duty tu favor of the Unitea States is this—that in the case of the duties on American goods they were to be diminished at once, whereas the duty on the same class of English goods was only to be reduced in a series of years, You that there is po guarantee that an Idea of that kind was not enter- tained by the colonies, That ~S be. You may gay there is no rantee in the treaty. sibly not, and for this reason, that the commercial relations of Engiand and Canada ere not matters which can be dealt with in a treaty made with a foreign power. They are relations of a purely domestic cnaracter, It ig a question between Canada and England, and if any Canadian Parila- ment were heremaiter to seek to im du. ferential duties, to impose a higher scale of du- ties upon English goods than those imposed upon American goods, it would be fairly within the com- etency of the Governor General of Canada and he Colonial Omice to reserve the act for the consideration of Her Majesty’s government. In point of fact the question is one between Can- ada and England, and it is one in whica the United States could notin any way be called upon to tn- terfere, and therefore it is mot one that would find any suitable place ina treaty between England and the United States. Certainly we do not con- sider that there is anything in the provisions of thia treaty which, taken in conjunction with our system of colonial administration, con- sidering the relations between the colony and the mother country, would make it ible for the Canadian government to impose a differe! or the United Sta duty upon England in favor | 8 Iregret that this matter ‘was not discussed earlier stage, because I think it would not been dimicult to remove the misunderstanaing whict, J am aware has ex- isted in many quarters. If the details of thia treaty there are any orher faéts which you wish to bring before me or my noble friend [ can only say that 1 shall recelve such communications thank- folly, and shall consider them with the atmost care. LORD CARNARVON'S REMARKS. The Earl of Carnarvon said:—My noble friend has gone through the subject so well and caretully, touching upon all the different points, that it is almost Wasting my time and yours to go over the ground again. 1 should tike merely to say a few words, subscribing entirely to the deciaration Wulch he made at the outset, Itis mot the inten- tion and never has been the intention of Her Majesty’s government to. agree upon the introduction of differential duties; that 18 @ principle we recognize here. I tuink I onghs to say in justice to Canuda, as rep- resenting the colonial interests here, that it is not the view which Canada has veen realty inclined to take. [am not aware that in the course of former negotiations or legisiation there has been any real sign on the part. of Vanada of a wish to impose differential duties, and certainly as re- gards this particular instance, if you refer to the periiamenser Dapers already iaid beiore the jouse, and which are in fact now public property, ou will aee that there was no intention on tue part of Canada to attempt to receive such an advan- office this matter was brought to our attention. As you will see trom these parliamentary papers, we expressed @ distinct opinion that it could | only be at the express reqneat of Canada toast vhis matter could be proceeded with, It was pro- ceded with, and Her Majesty's government have been perfectly cognizant of every stage torough which it bas passed. (Hear, hear,” from Lord | Derby.) I may mention that we were anxious | that Canada, which was principally concerned, | should have her voice in the matter, and jut he should be represented at Washington, aid ih fat more than represented, The deputation having thanked the noble Loras | for the consideration shown to the subdjects | | brought beiore them retired, LIGHTERAGE OF GRAIN. The Produce Exchange and the Ratl- roads. The following communication has been re- ceived from Mr, Franklin Edson, the Presideat of the Produce Exchange, in reference to the com- munication lately published tn these columns from Vice President Blancnard, of the Ene Rail- way, and the coilaceral questions ¢eiative to the lignterage of grain. It will be iound of general interest to all cluzens and property holders :— To THE M&MBERS OP THE NEW YORK PRopucg EXCHANGE INTERESTED IN THE RECKIPT aD DELIVERY OF GRAIN at THIS PORT:— GENTLEMEN—In accordance with my duty as set fortu in section 23 of the bylaws, and in view of the importance to ourselves, our correspondents Dd the commerce of this city of the matter of | Blmplitying and laciHitating the handing of grain arriving by rail, I respectfully submit for your consideration the following brief bistory of our negotiations with the railway lines, together with some suggestions and remarks upon the suvjec: itu tue past ten years the railways terminating here have "become earriers of grain, and the receipts trom these lines bave steadily grown in importance until, during the past winter, one tine alone discharged ior @ time 200 cars of grain per day, When it ts remembered that each 200 car loads of this grain was consigned to probably more than tweaty diferent merchants, and that each con- Siknment of one car or more must be kept sepa- rate, and that ail this was done wiihout the aid of aby of the modern appliances in use in other cities for handiing grain, some idea may be had of the confusion and cousequent waste and loss, both to the grain and to the carrier, that must have at- tended the attainment of such aresuit. In the midst 01 these almost overwhelming dimiculties it Wus suggested to us by one or more of the railway managers tuat something should be done to sim- pliuy the bandiing of grain arriving by rail. A commitvee Was thereiore appointed on the part of this excoange (in January, 1874), to conier with the managers oi the three trunk imes, with a view to maturing some plan jor the accomplishment of the desired ovject, Many mectings were held and negotiations Were carried on !rom January until April without the accomplishment of aby result. On April 6, 1874, a petition signed by eighty-one firms (members of this Exchange), Was presented to the trunk lines, requesting them to build “elevators at the terminal points 0! the several railroads, with suMcient storage capacity to accommodate the business of the roads and the gain trade of this city.” This petition still re- Muins in the hands of the mavagers oj the three trunk railway lines without protest, and Is con- sidered by them equivalent to a recommendation by this Exchange. Un the 7th of April, 1874, a plan Was eubniltved to the grain trade by Mr. Knee- land, one of our members, which contemplated the establishment of New York grades of inspection, in accordance with which all grain arriving by Tail should be tnspected, each cur load accurately Weigued and consolidated with grain of the same kind and quality oy transfer direct to boats and barges, 80 that all grain should be afloat, ready for deivery to buyer, in accordance with the custom and necessities of this market. This proposi- tion was immediately referred to a spe- cial committee, consisting of six members oO. the exchange and three railway oitictals representing the three trunk lines terminating here. With this proposition ag a basis, this avie commitiee mi ed @ plau in detail for the estab- lishment of tem pt Ney York grades ior all Kinds of grain, pooling the same by delivery to boats and barges, 10 lie of elevators on shore, 80 that grain thus graded and pooled would be ready for delivery afloat in accordance with custom. When these ruies were laid betore the grain trade Jor their adoption the following amendment was proposed :—"*No charge for elevation or unioading boats, nor apy other charges, Shall ve imposed Upon satd grain by the ratiroad compan. cept ag provided vy the above rules.” ‘iu: ment Was carried und subsequently ratifie The railroads reiused to agree to the amendment, and the negotiations were therefore, for a time, sus- pended. It will be observed that we now hold the position of urging upon the railways two plans for haudiing . “grain. ibe erection of elevators ‘at the water line, o1 nme GHPAcity to accommodate the ffamis. d—The use of boats or barges as CO Ey erie Teo in Heu of stationary e:e' tors. beiore stated, the tirst of these proposi- tions 18 anofiicial, but as the peiition ts signed by 80 large & Dumber o/ firms doing business in grain, it is entitled to the consideration which the rat- Ways have givenit, I respectiully suggest that epe be taken at an early day to reconcile this pparent coniusion. Early in September the rail- Toads sent us notice tat they would no longer liguter, iree of charge, grain received in iess than Ove car lots, A meeting of the trade was imme- diately neld to consider this new order, aud a con- Jerence committee appointed, which brought in thetr recommendations, as contained tn the ma- jority and miuority reports, The report of the miuority was adopted, and went forti as the au- thorized expression ‘of this Exchange upon the subjects which it treated. Viewing it as suck, Vice President Blanchard, of the Erie Railway, addressed me a letter, heretotore printed in the Heap, wherein he explains the position of the ratiroads tu refusing to pay the vexed charge ior elevation, on the grounds, as he puts it, that it has not heretoiore been customary With them; that they cannot afford to bear it, as their connecting lines will not share the expense With them; that it exceeds their duties as com- mon carriers; and that itis notin accordance with usage elsewhere. In granting she priv: to pool grain, thereby giving up its identaty, cient saleguards should certainly be provided to protect us hereafter againat any new charges or Testrictions on the part of the rdilway companies. In the course of further negotiations upon tnis subject, while 1 am aware that itis the lashion to qgenounce railway companies as monopoiies, as composed of innumerabie rings and as dealing un- yb: those who have deaiings with them, at ie time I believe we can affordto act io accordance with those golden principles which ie at tue foundation of vur institution, and which, in becoming members of the Produce Exchange, we have bound ourselves to inculcate, viz., Just and eguitaoie principles In trade. My object 1m laying these papers before the members of the grain trade is that they may have ail the doca- ments before them for their careful study and con- sideration; and in the hope also that they may very soon take steps to more fully discuss tne matter, ana arrive at something that will accom- pliwh that which has become & necessity in this rt—vis., @ More simple and speedy, a less waste- 1 and costly method of hendag in arriving by rau. FRANKLIN EDSON, President. New YoRK PRopucg EXcHANGs, Dec. 4, 1874, The minority report, referred to as having veen adopted by the Exchange, embraces the following tofore reported, viz. :—‘'A recommendation to tne Exchange to reaffirm its acts of July 30, 1874, and leave tie responsiblity of the refusal of the grad- ing pian apon the trunk lines of raliroads termi- nating at New York.” BOARD OF TRADE. Communication from the Austrian Am- bassador. The first monthly meeting of tne New York Board of Trade was held at the Astor House yes- terday afternoon, Mr. Erastus Brooks occupied the chair, Atter reading the minutes of the last meeting Mr. George W. OC. Ciarke, the Secretary, Tead the following message irom the Austrian Ambassador at Washington :— AS AR Ltr acne ay ar leavin: Bout whieh will take place to-d; tte Yor! tage. At page 17 o{ this Parliamentary paper you find \t stated in the memorandum drawn up by Sir Edward Thornton on the part of this country, | and by Mr. Brown, the commissioner appointed by | Canada, tas any articles made tree in Canada , under af agreement with certain foreign coun- | trie st be made free for Great Britain. That | was memorandum which, in tact, illustrates the views of Oanada, and it may be fairly accepted as evidence of what their feelings are on the subject. I should like iurther to remind tne deputation that this treaty ia not a concluded treaty a8 seems to have been imagined by some. It is merely @ draft treaty, and stands very much in relation to dipiomatio affairs as a vill on its sec- ond reading does to legislation. lt expresse: ee- ment on the part of the contracting Powers to cer- tain oer oe BECOtp Ie, but it leaves many details | open to revision. Of course the deputation will | remember that this treaty will be, in its present form, submitted to the senate of Canada and also | to the Senate Of the United States, both of which have @ distinct voice in the matter. It will be found also that in the dralt treaty imperial legia- lation was contemplated in certain cases, aud , that, of course, would bring the whole ques- tion before Paritament, In these matters there is more than one side to consider. shoold point out that, while on tue one hand fears have ‘been expressed ‘as to the operation of the treaty upon particalar branches of indusiry in the country, in the United Btates corresponding fears have been expressed of what may ensue after beimy brought into com. jie with Eugiish goods, Of course it must be en with Certain allowances; but it should not be lost sight of. It Rows, at all events, that our apprenensions az. met with equal appre- bensions in the United 8 and that ap | reheasions there are of @ contradictory na- ture to those entertained here. In conciuston, think {t fair to mention that this draft treaty was n d into not at the request or suggestion of either my ooble friend or myseil. it was proceeded | ensu completing the prog é Jor the fall circuit the | J meow Witha ~ few da rd o worthy members of the Executive Com! my thanks for the invitation with which they honored me, and to assure them, as well as all the fnteiligent gen- tlemen present at the meeung, how much I regret my inability to be with them. Teéntertain the best wishes for a full and practical success of the proceedings, the importance of which I entirely aporeciate, because I am convinced by long experionce and observation wnat commerce and education are the greatest propagators yt civilization, Rha treedom, aad at, ere fore, every effort to taciliiate, develop and extend the commercial relations between the different nations of the world must be heartily welcomed, encour: fed and strenuously supported by every enlightened and sincere friend of human welfure. Similar communications were recetved from English Boards of Trade and the representatives | Of most of the foreign Powers at Washington, as well as several prominent men in New York. Shortly alter the meeting had been opened Mayor Vance entered the room and was invited to a seat Opposite the Chairman of the Board. The committee of the dry goods trade retired into another cham- ber to elect a chairman, and the Mayor went out atthe same time, The committee of the metal trade reported they would call a meeting of the trade to-day, when a chairman would be selected vo represent the trade in the Board. Mr. Charies McCoy Loeser was appointed chatr man by the wine and spirit trade, and Mr, Thomas arbour by the Dry Goods Committee. The Von- ju! for Chili explained to the Board the arrange ments made by his government ior an interna- tional exposition to be held in that country next year, After the transaction of some further business | the Board adjourned to meet in two weeks, NEWARK BOARD OF TRADE, Last evening the Newark Boart of Trade met ana elected officers for the ensuing year, as folk Plume; Secretery, R. 8. ig ‘Treasurer, John P.

THE 'LONGSHOREMEN, The ‘longshoremen were greatly excited yester day over the report whicn appeared tn this jour- nal’s issue of Wednesday that sixty or seventy of the members of tne union bad thrown up their badges and renounced ail allegiance to the society im order so be abie to return to work st the old rates. In the afternoon a deputation of the "long- shoremen called at the office of the HeRaLD and Made a statement, the substance of which ts heré- with given. They said that tney had been sent by the union to correct the statement reierred to, which was, in their opinion, of an extremely dam- aging nature, The number of men who bad re- turned to work nad been overstated, and they submitted a list of the recreaut members as far as they had ascertained them. These men, accord- ing to the statement of the Le orge being near relatives of the stevedores Walsh, desertea the union from the start, bat the other fourteen have only recently weakened in their loyalty to the society and become renegades. AS regards the extent of the aid given to needy members the union cenies that only $5 were given to acd One per week, and asserts that th “were bot limited to any certain amount,” and * that they received assistance according to their various necessities. The society was now dis- trtbuting irom $5 to $25. The deputation stated also that the union did not desre to “crush’? the Walsh Brothers, but only wianed to protect the rights of its members. There were no especially noteworthy develop- ments in the @ yesterday. The number of men still on strike is @bout 2,000, and tnetr attl- tuae is now almost that of passive spectators. Walsh Brothers are gaia to have lost a great deal of money by having to employ @ vast army of non- onion men for the same work done previously by @ much amaller number of society ‘longsboremen, The Strike in Jersey City. From information received yesterday from an employé at the Cunard dock {tf would seem that the strikers are offering themselves for any rate the Cunard company may fx ratner than that their families should starve. Toe highest rate of wages to be paid hereafter ts fixed at $2 50 per day, and this will apply also to the eighty odd men on the permanent staff who nave hitherto been receiving $3 per day. This staff ts composed entirely of non-union men. There was o0 work at the docks: yesterday, the Algeria having sailed. In the meantime the Abyssinia arrived and the work of unloading will be commenced to-day. The rumor that the Longshoremen’s Association, of Jersey City, has been dissolved is not true. About sixty med, it is stated, bave receded from the organiza- tion, and it was reported last evening that an equas number would be missing trom the an at the next meeting. The distress occasioned by the strike in Jersey City cannot be exaggerated. The Dumber of men out of employment ior the past ~ month represents 400 families, The men in the employment of the American Coal Company, who struck in obedience to the or- ders of the ‘longshoremen, bave aiso recarned, but nearly one-third of the number have been re- jected. In addition to this the wages of thoge ‘who returned were reduced. The supply of coal now at the different wharves in Jersey City ts con- sidered sufficient jor the winter season, and a re- duction of hands is ievitable. In several in- stances the wages have been reduced twenty-five per cent, and it is jeared this raie will extend throughout all the coal companies, OvaTION TO PHILADELPHIA MEROHANTS. Yesterday afternoon there was @ very pleasant meoting bétween the merchants of New York and philadelphia at the Merchaats’ Club, in Leonard street, below Broadway. There was an informal invitation of the New York merchants to their bre:hren in trade, and the full rooms of the social organization fitly expressed the interest of the o> casion. It may be proper to state thut the gentie- men of the Quaker City were much intent upon pressing the subject of the Centennial anniversary, aswell as “protection” and other kindred ques- tions. Some good after-lunch speeches were made by the guests and hosta, but nothing of a formal character was done. Its entirely probable that the meeting will bear beneficent ‘fruits, and cer- ‘ainly the occasion wasa very happy fraterniza- tion of business people, and will tend to encourage in the future those “trades untons,”? which are sympathetic and not revolutionary. The of -Setrikes” observable were the merry clanking glasses, filled with vintages of pernay or Rheima, and if thers was any rivairy between the sister cities 1t Was only one of goodiellowshp. MUNICIPAL NOTES, There is a calm at she Mayor's ofice and around the City Hall. Mr. Vance’s letter of explanation in appointing the Commissioners of Accounts has somewhat ruMed the expectant Custom House politicians, They believe now thas His Honor will not bow {mplicitly to their ree quests as to wholesale removals and changes. Mr. Laimbeer called upon the Mayor yesterday and arged bim to accept his resignation as vom- missioner of Charities and Co! tion. It ia an- derstood that Mr. Salem H. Wales and Mr. Isaac U, Bailey are candidates “ior the place. In addition to Mr. Wiliam Albertson, a new aspirant tor the ition of Dock Commissioner Gardner hes urned up in the ‘person of Mr. Andrew W. Leggat, formerly Deputy Assessor. The veati- bute of the Mayor’s office was filled yesterday with gentlemen operating in the interests of their respective candidates. Among the callers were General Sharpe, Salem H. Wales, Aldermen Geaney ste Morris and ex-Warden of the City Prison jounson. The Board of Apportionment will not meet until next week to take into final consideration the estimates for 1875, as sent back by the Board of Aldermen. The Buard now consists of Alderman Fianagao, ‘or Vance, Comptroller Green and Tax Commissioner Wheeler. yor Havemeyer’s death has placed Alderman Flanagan in the Board. Tne Commissioners of Accounts, Messrs. Howe and Bowland, have formally entered upon their dustes, When removed by Mayor Havemeyer they were engaged 1p the examination of the work: ofthe Fire Department. They will now compl that investigation and proceed to others. Board oj Aldermen are authorized to recei have requested those reports. Hundreds of laborera on the public works were paid off at the Comptroiler’s office yesterday. The Main hal of the New Court House was crowded With them during the day, OO8T OF STREET OLEANING, The following statement was presented yesters Gay to the Street Cleaning Committee of the Board of Police Commissioners.
