THE CITY GOVERNMENT. Reorganization of the Board of City Record. Corporation Counsel Smith Given More: Time. PRESIDENT MATSELL SCARED. The Mayor, the Corporation Counsel and the @ommissioner of the Department of Public Works met yesterday as the Board of City Record. The Board was reorganized for the year by the elec- tion of the Mayor as chairman, Volonel Farrell, the Supervisor of the Record, being chosen Secretary. Js was ordered that 500 copies of the annual report ©) we Police Justices be printed in pampiilet form. No other business of any importance was trans- acted, THE COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION. Corporation Counsel Smith's answer to the charges preferred against him py the Mayor, will mot be handed in to-day. He yesterday informed Mr. Wickham that be could not possibly get it in sbape until Monday next, and he was given until then to complete it, From ail accoants the answer Will afford spicy reading for lawyers in general and some politicians in particular, CLERICAL CHANGES. Four’ clerks employed in the Permit Bureau ‘Were yesterday notified that their resignations ‘Would save the powers that be the necessity ol re- Moving them. This is only the beginning of the ebanges that are to be made in the cierkships in ‘the Hall, and those clerks who have not yet been motified that they are to be retained are naturally | very anxious to find out just what the Mayor is “going to do about it.” MR, MATSELL FRIGHTENED. | President Matsell, of the Police Commisston, | ‘was nearly frightened out of his lite yesterday by | @ telegram which he received from the Mayor, @raering him to come to the City Hall immedi ately, as he Was, like the immortal Brooks, | “badly wanted,” The old gentleman at once jumped to the concluson that | all the rumors about his removal had crystallized | into a positive fact. At all events, when he put in @n appearance at the Mayor’s Office he looked | anything but confident. The real cause of bis being | gent for was the determination of the Mayor to | @ecertain who was responsible for the absence of | @ enficient force of police at the Cooper Institute | Meeting on Monday night. It seems that there | ‘Were only five policemen detailea to the meeung, @nd the result was, irom the great crush, that | Many persons were nearly suffocated in the pas- | Sageways, and a great deal of disorder and confu- gion in the hall occurred by 1 disposed perso Who wouid have been ordered under arrest had the Police been present in lorce. Mr. Matsel! told the Mayor that tne captain of the precinct was to blame, | but the Mayor replied that there were more re- *ponsible parties than captains of police in the de- Partmen', aud instructeu the Ingntened president Yo report to him in writing abou: the matter. Mr. Masseli went away ratuer crestfallen. The fact that Mayor Wicknam found great difficulty in gaining an entrance to the hail, wuere he waa to preside, probabiy led to wis action yesterday. ROMORS ABOUT THE COMPTROLLER, There Was @ rumor yesterday that Justice Powier had preferred charges against Comptroller Green ior laving beid back the warrants for the moutos of Octuber aud December o! certain of the | a@ttachés of the third Judicia) District Court, if Mr. fowler has prepared any such charges he did not prefer them to the Mayor, as the latter states | that he had neither seen Mr. Fowler or the | ebarges aince he came into offi | Comptrolier Green paid a visit to the Mayor and | Dad 4 long taik with him about matters reiating | w the routine business of the Finance Depart- ment, the making out of warrauts, &c. ine Committee on Salaries tave dectaed to | Fecommend to the Board of Aldermen at its meet- | ing to-morrow that the Sheriff be paid for the Wansportation Of prisoners, &c., the same rates | that have been in existence lor years, with a few triding aaepanas.

There is @ rumor current among the politicians that one of the two Commissioners of Accounts will be retired in afew days; not that any charges will he preerred against bum, bus that a more ac- -Save man is being pressed fur the place. THE BOARD OF HEALTH WEEELZ REPORT OF THE i STATISTICS. ‘The Board of Health met yesterday afternoon, Dat no business of special \inportance was trans- acted. Dr. Janes reported to the Commissioners that smalipox was slightly on the increase, but that he thought that was principally because the inspectors were discovering a greater number of Patients. There was no actual advance, he thought, in the amount of disease; but cases that ‘were trying to remain hidden were brought to the notice of the authorities, The following commn- Bication Was read to the Board by the secretar, Bureav or Vitat Statistics, Jan. 12, 1575, To tax Sucretany or THE BoOsko OF HeALTH:— ISTRAR OF VITAL ‘Sin—[n the week that ended on Saturday, the 9th inst., @2 deaths were reporied m this city, but this isan ex! | cess of the actual number that died. for it is found that | Te6 of these rej orted deaths occurred during the last | days of the previous week.

CONTRACT VS, Day's WORK IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT—THE AMENDMENT RELATIVE TO THE CANALS OF THE STATE. ‘The monthly meeting of the Directors of the Cneap Trassportation Association was held yester- day at their rooms, No. 110 Pearl street, President B, P. Baker in the chair. The Executive Committee reported in favor of the admission to membersiup of thirty-five per- Sons or firms, which was adopted. Among them Was @ lady who ts at the head of a large urm. W. S. Fairfield, from the Committee on Terminal Pacifities, made @ report as to the manner in which the public works are executed, charging that the Commissioner of Public Works has too much power, in executing work by day’s labor instead of by contract. The report urged action to compel the Commissioners to let the work by contract, The report admits the force of the argument that the day work plan gives employment to the laboring Classes and saves many poor persons from becoming dependent upon the city for their support, bat expresses the belief that the same object may be reached by doing the same work through contractors, who will see that they get a fair day’s work for @ {air day’s pay. The report concludes :— Aside from the objectionable manner pro) for doing the work your committee submis that it is Dot wise at this time—considering the present state of the fluances of the city and the heavy borden of taxation which our Commerce has to bear—to incur such heavy expenditure, trom Which there can be no dtrect immediate return. We are aware that many of the owners vf prop- erty in the vicinity of the proposed improvemenis are in favor of them, but it does not lollow that because these iinprovements would bring adjacent roperty into market and relieve holders irom the urden of carrying the same, that the work should be done at the expense of the city, In the construc- tion of our new bulkbead line along our water Iront, togesher with our projected system of docks, we can, however, see direct and tangipie advantages, as tue demand for tue new piers 18 Such that they can ve leased before they are fin- ished, at rates which pay a large rate of inierest on the money invested, besides luruisbing umcreased tacutties lor Commerce which are greatly needed, We theretore beg ieave to submit tue following resolutions, Which We trust may meet with the approval of the association :— Resolved, That in the opinion of this association our public works, where the cost exceeds $1,100, should be coustrncted under contract, and that at tis time it is in- expedient to undertake the construction of works in- Volving large expenditure unless such works are abso- lutely necessary to the welfare of the whole city. Resolved, [hat our new system of docks now in pro- cess of coustruction being necessary tor tbe accommo- dation of commerce, upon Which the wellare of many other interests depends, should be constructed with all possible speed, and that whatever delay may occur in the construction of other improvements, this should be pushed forward until we bave tacilites tor handling and caring for merchandise worthy of our position as the first commercial eity of the country. Kesolved, That copies of these resolutions and the ac- companying report be transmitted tu, His Honor the Mayor and the members ot the Board of Aidermen, ‘The report was discussed at some length, and, after some slight modifications, was adopted. ‘The following resolution, which was urged by Mr. Samuel b. Ruggies, Was upanimously adopted by the meeting :— Resotved, That sections 6, 7 and 8 of the proposed anugncment to article 5 of the constitution of the state, which relate to the camals, and which were proposed by the constitutional commission and passed the Lexisla- ture of I87s, but were defeated in the Legislature of 1874, are, in our opinion, eminently wise ana necessary, and ifconsummated would greatly increase the value and efficiency of our canais : Resolved, That the Conference Committee of this asso- ciation be and are hereby instructed to take said amend- | ment into consideration, with a view of again having it passed and adopted, and tor that purpose are empow- ered to present the wecessary petition to the present Lewisiature. A series of resolutions thanking the citizens of | Richmond, Va, jor the courfesies extended to the delegates irom this city In December last were re- | ported by Jonn F. Henry and adopted. A cominittee to report upon a proposed change of name, so as to contorm to the name of the Na- | Monal Assoctation, was appointed.

In calling the meeting to order Colonel Church congratulated the assocta- tion on the successiul year just past. The first year had been devoted to the preliminaries neces- sary for organization, in purchasing ground, &c, During the second year the first effurts at Creed- moor were made with results recorded in the report. We have reason for gratitude in our suc- cess during the past year, and the brililant reeora of marksians!iip made there has proved an in- centive to rifle practice and the establishment of ranges in many places, and the officers of the association in constant receipt of letters— some from South America—announcing these facta, | The roll was toen called, and on motion the as- sociation pro’ ded to the election of directorsin | place of those wnose terms had expired, and tell- ers were appoin'ea for that purpose.

The directors of the American Rifle Association, of Mount Vernon, have decided to hold a prize meeting on the 22d of February next. It as understood that woen the Board o: Super- visors resumes its adjvurned session some inter- expenditures in repairing the Court House will be etfected. In many portions of the county the depressea condition of the labor market is> sttil being more or less severely felt among the working classes, At Yonkers the weavers are now working only eight hours per day. Much credit is due the Ladies’ Aid Society of that city, which is at pres- | ent supplying about 120 needy persons with proiit- | abie employment. The County Court has affirmed the judgment, with costs, in favor of Police@Justice Jennings, who sued the village of Mount Vernon for two months’ salary, at $25 per month. In this instance the action of the village trustees, In retusing to st claim, has saddled their consutuents With the cosis of ab unnecessary and some wuat protracted lawsuit.

THE JERSEY RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.. M'CLELLAND, THE TELEGRAPH OPERATOR, CON- VICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER. In the Court of Quarter Sessions, at Jersey City | yesterday, John S, McClelland, a telegraph opera- tor on the Pennsylvania Railroad at the Bergen cut, Was placed on trial on an indictment for man- slaughter. ‘The indictment set forth that the de- Jendant. on the 2stn of March last, neglected to warn the conductor of a tain to remain at one end of the cnt until another nad passed. Owing to this negligence two trains collided, and Rovert Keyes, conductor of train 941; Wiliam Day, @ fireman, and Cnaries Stockton, a brakeman, were kuled. he prisoner was sworn in bis own beail, and testified that wen he discovered bis m ke he rushed out and tried to attract the attention of those on one of the trains, but did not succeed. the brakeman, Stockton, was intoxica' tried to rouse him up while be was in the tele- graph office, He cast the 'lame on McGuire, the conductor of one of the trains, jor repeavediy dis- regarding the notifications of the teiegrapn opera. tor, Gibbon Morris, Gie Bight telegraph operator at the same piace, corroborated the testimony | of the prisoner with regard to McGuire's repeated violation of instructions.

Jarvis and Jackson, the Long Island Murder- ers, Preparing To Be Hanged. CONFESSION OF JACKSON. “To be hanged by the neck until you are dead.” Such ts the law’s dread sentence upon murderers, and on Friday next Jarvis and Jackson, the two negro actors in tue Oyster Bay tragedy, who have had this fearful phrase addressed to them, will ex- plate their crime upon the scaffold. Since their conviction the criminals have been confined tn the Queens County jail, and for the last few days active preparations have been tn progress for the last act in the drama of their lives, There are peculiar features in this case, Jarvis, the elder ruMan, ts of mixed negro and Indian blood. His mother claimed a lineal descent from Samoset,-who welcomed the Pilgrims at the Plymouth cotony, On his fatner’s side he 1s pure Regro, and the combination of races seems to have tmplanted in him a spirit of command which gave him unlimited sway over his dusky neigh- bors, Near Oyster Bay there isa COLONY OF NEGROES, in which Jarvia used tobe almost supreme, By his orders and from his exampie many offences were committed, and @ system of horse stealing Was inaugurated which even now taxes both the farmers and constables. Jackson ts cast in a dif ferent mould. A half-brother of Jarvis, he lacks the determination and force of the Indian, and was easily led to crime througn the teachings of his confederate. The men differ in appearance as much as in disposition. Jarvis isa tall, powerful man, with a villanous cast of features, while Jackson is short in stature, with rather a pleas- ant, irank expression. It is somewhat curious that Jarvis, who for years has been a notorious scoundrel, should re- cently have seemed to be the more certain of future redemption through presept penitence and faith, Jackson, who is comparatively young in crime, has had many misgivings as to his future. No hope of pardon has been held out to the unfor- tunate men, and they are now convinced that | they need expect no mercy this side of the grave. Yesterday morning a HERALD reporter visited the jail and inspected the arrangements for the exe- | cution, It was a dificult matter to obtain access | to the prisoners, as @ clergyman was closeted with them during the entire day. Rumors were afloat that Jackson was making 4 FULL CONFESSION, implicating other parties now at large. This re- port proved to be correct. On Monday evening Supervisor Seaman N. Snedeker, of tne town of Hempstead, visited the prisoners, and Jackson confessed to him his active participation in the crime, Yesterday he repeated to the clergyman | the same story, and seemed glad to relieve his mind of its load of secret guilt, “1 struck him first,” said Jackson; “Lew gave me the matches | andI builuthe fre. When the old man came out | of the house to put the fire out I went in and hid behind the door. When tue old man came in again I struck him on the head with a club He fell in the doorway, and I dragged lim outside. Jarvis met me at the door | and we took the body to the well and threw it in, | after taking everything out of the pockets, We then went back to the house to look for the old man’s money. When we came out we found that Jones had crawled nearly out of the well. Achop- | Bing block was bandy and Jarvis threw it on the old man, knocking him on the head and sending | nim back into the well. I then brought @ lot of Stones and gave them to Jarvis, who threw them down upon the body. I hope i have made ny peace with God, and I want to tell all I know. ‘Tne remainder of the confession 1s suppressed as many of the supposed coniederates of the crimi- , nals are still at large, and it is not considered advisable to alarm them. Until yes- terday morning Jarvis (ully expected a reprieve. It is not Known how he got that impression, but oo Monday he tola the sheriff that he would be allright. “When it comes to tne pinch | will get of.” Now, however, he seems to be more alv to his situation, and has dropped to @ great e! tent his religious tervor. No one has ever had much confidence in ms sincerity, aud it is to be eared that religion was with him assumed as a | possible means of reprieve or pardon. The gen- eral impression seems to be that Jackson is sin- | cerely peuiteot, and would, if released, be a *decent member of society; but bad | pany Das been his ruin, It has been reported | that a petition, signed by nomerous citizens, was ton of sentence. Tue counsel for tue cpndemned men have no knowledge of it, and, as the Gover- nor sent recently a peremptory message that the law must take its course, there is | NO HOPE OF REPRIEVE | or pardon, In a@ barn near the jail is stowed tne scaffold, which wili be erected to-morrow.

They | were all, Lowever, doomed to disappointment, .as | none were admitted to the ceiis.

A SENSATION IN WESTERN UNION—SOME CUMU- LATIVE PACIFIO MAUL ITEMS—ATLANTIO AND PACIFIO—TOLEDO AND WABASH. The sensational point on the street yesterday Was the resignation of Gensral’Thomas J, Eckert, 8s General Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company. We quote bis title as it 18 expressed on the blanks of the company, although Mr. Orton, in @ conversation with the writer, described him as ‘one of our three superintendents.” It was stated on the street that Mr. Eckert’s retirement (we believe it 18 proper, after the recent “pro- test” to drop the term “general” where that oMcer ts in civil employment) was prompted by an invitation of the Atlantic and Pacific Tele- graph Company for him to become thetr Preai- dent. The latter company, by their reticence upon tngutry in this respect, seemed inclined, so far as their representatives could be reached, to repudiate the report of Mr. Eckert’s accession to their management, In other words, they knew nothing atall about it, eo they said, Reflectively the street did not take * MR. ECKERIS RESIGNATION a8 seriously affecting the value of Western Union stock, which went up on this announcement from 153g Lo 16, largely upon a supplementary report . that Mr. Eckert would be promptly succeeded by Marshall Lefferts, now President of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company. The advent of the latter gentleman, whose management of a company 80 familiar to the streetand the business community, not only of this city, but outside, among Which class its only patronage lies, the Western Union would carry with it a prestige greater than the withdrawal of Mr. Eckert, or even his connection With an Opposition company. The stock went up yesterday in view of Mr. Eckert’s retirement placed adversely to the pros- pect of Mr. Lefferts’ forthcoming incumbency. Having sold at 754, it closed at 7634. If Mr. Eckert would take THE MEASURE of his individual capacity—that is, the popular opinion of tt when put in the crucible of the | Stock Exchange, be will find it not fattering. If the Atlantic and Pacific people (which | stock declined yesterday) will put the value o1 stience on matter of this kind | in the same crucible they will find that rumors, which they are not in @ position to contradict, are damaging. If both companies will bear in mind | that while they have a right to manage their own affairs, even to tue point of bankruptcy, they may reflect that the inquiries of press representatives, addressed to them in relation to rumored changes and seeking an explanation of them, only reflect | the anxiety o! stockholders to be imformed as to the discharge of duties on the part of tneir elected Tepresentatives, they will have reached a large | advancement intg popular confidence. Mr. Orton stated, in an interview with the writer yesterday, that Mr. Eckert, it was unaerstuod, bad, vefore | tendering his resignation to the Western Union | Telegraph Company, made arrangements with an | Opposition company, “what opposition J am not in | @ position to state,” to enter their service. The | street understood this to Mean the Atlantic and | Pacific; but, as has already been stated, tne lead- » Ing officials o; that company having gone uptown | early, the subordinate officers were unable to check this statement, WHAT MR. ECKERT HAS TO BAY. Mr. Eckert was called upon by a HERALD re- | porter in regard to bis rumored resignation and | future movements, but declined to say auything at | present turther than thatthe report was prema- tore and he did not deem it discreet just now to make his movements in the premises pubito. ANOTHER MEBTING OF PACIFIC MAIL was held yesterday, at which the resignation of | Messrs. Alexandre, Guion and Talcott were with- drawn. It will be recollected that the offer of | these resignations was a matter which the officials | of the company did not communicate the previous | Bight when they were handed in. The recon- sideration which prompted the withdrawal of | these resignations (Pacitic Mail could not afford to have representative steamship men like Guion and Alexanare retire just now) 1s said to have | | beep im consequence of Mr, Sage’s retarn to the | Pacific, Mail direction, and, in fact, to Dave, in | @ measare, prompted his reinstatement. TOLEDO AND WABASH. A meeting was held yesterday of some people connected wish this company—the average intelii- gence of itg representatives, it will be recollected, is not capable of defining the exact character of such meetings—iut nothing was done which 1s calculated to influence the value of this stock 1avo | aoly (that 1s, so far as was learned), or of special interest to stockholders, REAL ESTATE. ‘The auction business at the Exchange yesterday Was a8 follows:—Messrs.
