Beecher uid not have mortgaged his propercy to meet the expenses of this suit, jor Piymouth church would never permit him to do so, It must ve a mortgage given 1o take up first mortgages.

Aregular meeting of the Board of Assistant Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, Pr dent Strack in the chatr. There was a full at- tendance of the “lobby,” im anticipation of an election of two Assistant Aidermer to fill vacancies, Assistant Alderman Brucks offered a resolution that Mr. Peter B. Masterson be elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Henry A. Linden, The resolution was adopted—13 to 4. Assistant Alderman Keenan moved that Mr. George W. Betts be elected to fli the vacancy oc- ecasioned by the absence of Mr. Henry Wisser in Germany. ‘rhis resolution was the subject of considerable debate, participated in by Assistant Alderman Clancy in support, and Assistant Alderman Wace in opposition, It was claimed by the latter that the Board had no power to elect under the cir- cumstances, President Strack concurred in this view of the case; no resignation nad been received and no resolation had been passea declaring the seat vacaut. Mr. Ciancy insisted that Mr, Wisser’s lengthened absence in Europe and the juct that he had not drawn his salary for some time were suficient reasons or ® vacancy. An amendment was introducea by Assistunt Alder man Simonson that a vacancy be declared. Aiter lepgthy discussion the resoiation to elect was de- Jeated, and Mr. Wisser’s place remains intact Jor the present, Mr. Masterson, being present, was called upon to take nis seat. He thanked the Board tur the honor conlerred upon him, and said he wouid ac- cept the piace only on condition that the salary and emoluments go to the amily of Mr, Linden, A resoiution directing the Comptroller to issue bonds in the matter of the East River Bridge ap- propriation was laid over.

The Board of Apportionment meets at two o’clock to-day for the purpose of making final disposition of the estimates for 1875, Yesterday afternoon the Board, consisting of Alderman Flanagan, Comp- trolier Green, Mayor Vance and Tax Commissioner Wheeler, held an informal and private meeting in the Mayor's office. The session lasted about an hour. Some of the most important items of the budget were canvassed. It is understood that the deduction of $186,000 from the Educational iund wil! be replaced. President Netlson, of this de. partment, was present for a short time during the discussion. The joimt committee of the Common Council who had charge oi Mayor Havemeyer’s obsequies met yesterday. ‘hey passed all bills contracted with the exception of those presented for car- riages, which were laid over for tuture consicera- tion. Payrolls of public school teachers’ salaries will be completed within tho next two days, so that those ladies and gentiemen can receive their December money trom the city in time for the Curtstinas holidays. Mr. D. D. ‘T. Marshall, one of the Excise Com- missioners, yesterday deposited with the City Chamberlain $12,540. This, with the amount already 1u hand or city charities, swells the fund $83,000, which is to be distributed by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, Commissioner Stern, of the Department of Char- ities and Correction, calls upon the Mayor almost daily. His visits are suppose:t to be in connection with the examination now in progress as to tne treatment of J‘weed on Blackwell’s Island. The Jortunate individual who is to step into the shoes of Mr. Latmpeer has not yet been named, The Custom House politicians are on the run day and Night in the interest of their particular cauaidate, Mayor Vance is very non-committal as to his choice, Charles A.

The Board ot Police Commissioners met yester- | day afternoon as the Committee on Street Clean- ing to discuss the question of removing the snow from the principal avenues of travel, This suvject has been discussed before by the Commissioners, and when they sent in their estimate of the ex- penses of cleaning the streets during next year they applied tothe Board of Apportionment for $100,000, with which to deiray the cost of carting | away the snow. It has been and is the opinion of the Board that the tunds set apart for street clean- | ing purposes cannot be drawn on lor any otner costs than those incurred in sweeping the thoroughiares and in removing dirt, garbage, &c. Tne Com- mussioners decided, however, to refer the subject to tue Corporation Counsel, asking that official to return an agswer to their query early to-day.
