-— 10 CITY POLITICS. ‘The Office-Seekers Still Clam- oring for Place. DEPARTMENTS 10 BE REVOLUTIONIZED. The “Approval” Power of the Governor To Be Abolished and the Confirmatory Power To Be Restored to the Aldermen. GREEN IN A FLURRY. Now that the Senatorial question has been set- fled to the satisfaction of tne New York city demo- prate it is probabie that the local leaders and their Sctive henchmen will from this out bend their whole energies to the accomplishment of the re- form policy of making a thorough change in all the departments. Thus far the politicians who have not been let into the secrets of the leaders have feit nu little chagriu over what they call the dilly- Gallying of Mayor Wickham, Had they theirown way, or did the Mayor give need to their desire to Gnd vacancies in every commission to be filed by themselves, not one of the heags of departments now in puwer would have lasted beyond the first week of the new administration. 1t cannot be de- Ried but that the smaller order of the genus poll- tician have already brought every possible infu. ence to bear upon the Mayor to urge bun to make 4 OLEAN SWEEP, but he has, thus far, given the anxious ones but Iittle nope, preferring probably to go slowiy and eurely than by haste to commit a blunder. It was, by the way, a rather sharp reply that the Mayor gave to one of these urgents, which has occasioned fs0 much talk in political circles about a threat- ened row between tim and Grand Sachem Kelly. “I propose to do my duty as Mayor,” said ne, “and when I want advice I will asx forit.” The story ‘was that this rather independent laying down of the law had been addressed to Mr. Kelly; but such | 1s not the fact, and therefore all the rumors that have prevailed during the week of a coolness be tween the two are rumors simply and nothing more. Many of the small politicians, neverthe- | Jess, who have in times past considered tt a part of their high privilege ag city legislators not only to advise the Mayor, bat to tell nim ir he did not Joliow their suggestions in certain matters it would be “all up’? with him, are already in @ growling mood because they are not tacen Into the counsels of the new régime; but, a8 their moods and tenses Were never very damaging to anybody tn the past, ft is bardiy possible that their grumblings now ‘will interiere in any way with the working of the city government. Had the Mayor in bis gift two or three hundred offices, ranging in value from $500 to $1,500 a year, he could doubtless very easily satisfy the cravings of these hungry ones who have been out in the political cold so long; but as be nas not be bas found himself day after day during the week pestered bali to death by jeekers after oMce, every one of whom thinks that because he folded democratic tickets on the night before election or had charge of a box where democratic tickets were given ont, he is entitled to be made a commissioner of some kind, and that, just to oblige him, tae Mayor should turn some Pepudlican out, right or wrong. A POSSIBLE OBSTACLE During the week there has been but little that was of interest to the pubiic in the doings and Gayings of the new powers that be. The excive- ment over the Senatorial question and the iliness | of the Mayor for the past three aays partly ac- countior the geueral dulness; but itis pretty certain that tne real hitch in the way of any sudden moves against suspected Commissioners by the Mayor is the condition in which the case of Corporation Counsel Smith now reste. Until Br. | Smith ts out of the way it is deemed advisable by | some of the leaders, so it is said, not to show their | bands; 10 other words, it is given out that charges have been drawn up against Commissioners in mearly every department, which, if indorsed as flagrant violations of law by tue democratic Cor- | poration Counsel when he is asked for his opinion about them, will bave all the more force with the | ublic and pave the way to their speedy removal. | Bura new difficulty in this matter seems to have suddenly risen, ike a ghost, to {righten the timid. A ew days ago it was be- | lheved that, no matter wuat his answer might be, Mr. Smith would resign; indeed, he 1s said to have stated that if the Mayor wanted his lace he would give it to him with pleasure; but jt would appear that an immense pressure -has been brought to bear upon him by republicans to stand by bis culors to the end, and not give up ‘until the responsibility Jor his removal 1s taken by the Mayor end Governor. This pressure was Drought about alter Mr. Smith had announced that 01s answer Would be such a complete reruta- lion of all the charges mavle against bim that he | Who ruus may Fr It will then be seen that if | this @uswer should be of sucn a character as to | evidence showing that early in the urorping one | | one of Moore's friends, ough they are opposed to and t that portion of the amendment @ Bofrd’s approval beiore @ re- moval by the Mayor can ve considered legal, As | tis is only one Of many other amendments to the | charter pow being prepared 10 this city under the | direction of the leaders and by the best legal | ent, it 18 quite possible that no one will be offered vntil they can all be offered together, Indeed, 1% is the idea of several of the New York members that it would be well for the Legisiature to appoint ® commission to revise the present charter, aud, taking its best points and leaving out its defects, repor’ 4 good democratic measure, which would | not be open to @ thousand diferent interpreta- | tions, as the present one is in many of its sec. | tions, At all events, commission or no commis- sion, the amendments aliuded to above Will, in due time, be urged, and, i the leaders here Speak | truly, will be passed without serious opposition, LEVELLING THE HILLS.

The contest between Messrs. Pinckney and Moore for the seat {rom the Eighth Senatorial dis- | trict of this city, in which @ decision was not reached last session of the Legislature, ts still a matter of contention between the republicans and democrats. It will be rememoered that Mr. Moore ‘was admitted to his seat and that Mr. Pinckney, the republican candidate, contestea, and volumi- nous testimony was taken a year ago which cer- tainly snowed many irregularities in the election. at which there were three candidates—viz., McCafferty, independent; Moore, democratic, and Pinckney, Custom House republican, Yes- terday, at the Metropolitan Hotel, Messrs. Cole (Chairman), Tobey and bBradicy, of the Committee on Elections, met to hear argument of counsel. Messrs. John L. Davenport | and Assistant District Attorney Lyons appeared for Mr, Pinckney, and George W. Wingate for Mr. | Moore, Mr. Davenport reviewed the Aidence at considerabie length, and admitted that the con- testant based his claims to election upon the irreg- Uiarities alleged to nave occurred in two election districts—the Fiiteenth district of the Nineteenth | | Assembly district and the Nineteenth Election dis- | | trict of the Twenty-first ward. As to the Fif- teenth Election district of the Nineteenth Assem- | | bly district Mr. Davenport read from the eviaence | | charging that in this district there were irregu- larities that should render the vote void.

He also charged that the even idence showed MORE GLABING IRREGULARITIES, regarding tbe Nineteenth district of the Twenty, first Assembly district. Counsel read irom the Hammond, an inspector, got drunk and was suc- ceeded by aman named Quinn. wh claimed to | have been appointed by Commissioner Charlick | on the recommendation of John Kelly, Mr, Davenpori read from the evidence showing that the chairman, one Caappel, was wey,” that all | Ihe Inspectors were SUPPLIED WITH LIQUOR, and that Quinn, according to his own admission | under Gatu, when the voles were being counted, compelled him to leave Trenton on account of the exireme pleasantness that had always existed in the several departments and had been manilested by the offictals therein, He was sorry, indeed, that they should never meet again ‘omerally. Assistant Secretary oi state J. D, Halil, Comptroiler Runyon, Judge Naar ana Henry S.

THEIR CONFESSIONS AND THEIB SEVERAL SHARES IN THE MURDER OF MR. JONES. The bodies of Jarvis and Jackson, the two negro murderers who were hanged at the Queens County Jail in North Hempstead on Friday, were con- veyed to the colored Methodist church at Jeru- salem, near the late residence of Jackson, on Fri- day afternoon, and watchers were placed over them, The funeral services will be held in the church this afternoon, at three o'clock. At the request of both the men, made a few hours before their death, the Rev. Eliakim Levi, a somewhat noted colored preacher, will deliver the funeral sermon, after which the bodies will be interred in the burial ground near the church. THE CONFESSIONS. It has already been stated that both Jarvis and Jackson made confessions to the Rev. Charles Bachman, pastor o! the Port Washington Metho- aigt Episcopal church, on the Tuesday preceding the execution. Jackson's statement is quite long, and is evidently a truthful one; but Jarvis, even at the last, could not divest himself of the spirit of prevaricatiou, Jarvis insisted that he had never been guilty of the commission o! any crime pre- viousiy, but this 18 contrary to the general beliet. Jn his dying story ol tue murder and the circuw- stances which preceded it and came afterward, he insisted that be did not cut the club with which the first blow was struck, but that Jackson cut two witn his (Jarvis’) kolle, one of which was alter- ward cast away. Jackson sys:—‘On the way Lewis said we would cut @ Stick, so that il auy one comes we can hit him and run, “Lewis cut the stick with his own knlie.”” JARVIS’ STORY Elbert called me the whole truth. the weli we went into the house, and very soon heard and saw Mir. Jones climbing up the chain. We ran out, and one of us shook him off. I remem- ber to have thrown in the cuopping block, and may have thrown in the stones, but don’t-remem- ber it.” The rest o1 Jarvis’ statements do not differ materially from those be had previously maae. JACKSON'S STORY. Jackson’s confession 18 balieved to give the Story of the murder exactly as it occurred. He ysi—‘'After starting tne fire we walked through the swamp and approached the house. Belore we got tothe house a dread struck me, and I said, ‘Lewis, we had better not go imto the house.’ wook seventy times tickets supposed to be cast for Pinckney trom the cable, put them in | his pocket and substituted other bajiots for them, | Quinn testitied that he did tnis at the request of Counsel also argued that @ portion of the Gay there was present ouly two of tue inspectors oi election, whica alone should vitiate the election, He quoted voluminous de- | cisions irom the States of Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, to prove that these two districts suould ve thrown out.

WHFELS WITHIN WHEELS. There are tiose, who are in @ position to | be abie to speak wifn some authortty on the subd- ject, who say that any cuauges tha: can be mage im the personnel of ihe various departments by @menadments to the city charcer will be made, father than to have the Mayor go through the formula of prejerring charges against this and that one who may be in the way. To this end, it jis said, Various amendmen|s to the cuarter are + the commission: to have repeaied that part oi the charter which requires tue Governor's approval of every removal Di & head or member oj a department made dy the Mayor belore the removal becomes iegal. Another Is ‘to restore to the Board of Aldermen the confirmatory power tn the watter of appointments by toe Mayor to fill vacancies. These two | Amendments are heartily approved by Governor Tilden; but there is one office-holcer ip this city Who is tead set against tue first, and chat is Comp- troller Green.

Jackson admitted having previously been concerned in two bur- jaries—one at the house ola Mrs. Whitmore, at Kidgewood, about tour years ago, in connection with Henry Buifett, and the otver at the house of Mr. Elbert Floyd Jones, in connection with Joe Lawrence (noW under arrest), in the winter of 1873.

The East side stevedores, it 13 said, Were not unwilling to pay forty cents per nour to their men, if that sum were given by every stevedore In the city; but the North River steve- dores have made agreements with their men to pay only thirty cents. The necessity of competi- tion, therefore, compelied them to stand out against the demands of the ‘longshoremen, ‘The Sisters of Charity, in charge of St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged, No. 209 West Filteenth street, who have done 80 much to relieve from poverty and distress triendiess and homeless old iadies and to afford thein the shelter of a home in teeble old age, make the following earnest appeal to tne ublic the istitution is very much in need.

The question of political patronage continues to divide the members o/ the Board of Commissioners of Charities upon the propriety of abolishing the | Kings County Nursery and sending toe children who are kept there in @ state o! Idle pauperism to well tramed asylums. A p oposition has been mude oy Various Charitabie institutions to receive these bounty wards at the rate of $2 per capita by the week, Which 13 less than they now cost the | county; while the change, it ts argued, wouid be immeasurably advantageous to the children, Thirty-two counties in the State have already abolished their public nurseries and they report favorably upon the change, WESTCHESTER. The charitably disposed people of Portchester propose giving another entertainment for the benefit of the poor in that village next Friday eveuing. The Board of Water Commissioners and the Ciizens’ Committee of Yonkers have thus far been unable to agree as to the most judicious means vy which pure water may be introducea mito that city. Under woat is known as the Charity dill this county, it appears, is entitied to about $4,000 an- nually from the State Treasury. Through some oversigit these Moneys have not been applied for since 1*67, and as all appropriauons not called for within two years lapse and are covered into the er legislation will be necessary to are of the fund, whica the county has in part been called upon to pay.

Governor Parker, of New Jersey, has addressed a letter to Governor Tilden, of New York, touching the quarantining of New Jersey coasting vessels | and embodying the complaints of owners and masters about the charging of unnecessary fees, | &c.
