HE JON First—It {s said that the appointment of Mr, Alexander W. Harvey, as reteree im the iinvortant tigation Known as the Jones case, must have proceeded irom some wn- derstanding with the plaintiffs’ at orney, on the part of the reieree and myselt, because Mr. Uarvey was at the fime Attorney of Arrears, under my appointment, and therefore but tor such understanding he would uot have | been accepted by the other side, The fact is that, bis | appointment as referee was in January, 18/4, and bis | rally extinguish all aympachy, it any Mr. O'G ‘ose that are true have no weight.

No exception istaken inthe charges to either Dir, Harvey or Mr. Husted personally | FERENCES IN GENERAL, | Third—On two occasions retereuces formed the sub- | Ject of corresponde! between Mayor Havemeyer and | myself, and he finally expressed his surprise, as be weil | might, that so few had been made. During my term | there have been 771 cases «ilsposed of in the courts an: only sixty-two referred. Of the latter many are pend ing, undecided and untried. Of these tour only (invol ing very stnail amounts) were such as might not have been compulsorily reterred it references had been r sisied in the courts. ‘The records are pub they | show that not a single referee has been appoinied whose enaracter 14 sitch as to justity an imputation upon him, myself or the Court that appeinted him. The code of | Practice provides and the Louris alrect references in | suis involving jong accounts. Uf this character isa | large portion of the cases in this office. Mr. Smith goes on to say that in deference to the wishes of Mayor Havemeyer he had sought as | much as possibdie to avoid reference of city suits; | that where it was inevitable he followed the cus- | tom of private practice of saving expense to the eltent by consenting and nominating candidates | for appointment as reieree, and that bis naming | of reputable lawyers as “standing referees” was | mutch less notable than the practice of hts honor- | able predecessors or than prominent law firms. In most cases the city has the disaavantage of being the deiendant. Yet the city litigation be- | fore referees has usually, in his bands, been suc- vessiul. In reference to the fourtn charge, that he had procured the passage by the Legislature of the clause in the charter of 1873 prohibiting the em- ployment of counsel by city boards or officials, he states that the action of that section is to vastly enlarge the duties of his ofice without increasing its emoluments, and that, in fact, he was im no Way instrumental in its passage; that he has never lobbied tn tue Legisiature, and that the clause was the workmanship of the Committee of Seventy, designed Jor economy in benhali o1 the city. EMPLOYMENT OF COUNSEL.

Aiter tous alindiog to the complaints which the Mayor caus “introductory,” Mr. Smiti proceeds to the formal charges. | THE BAIRD CASE. | Replying to the charge concerning bis decision NOL Lo appeal Irom an order of the mpremie Court referring the rd case to Ex-Judge Jonn K, Por- | ver for trial, Mr. Swiih states very fui'y the pro- ceedings in the case, showing that during a pain- ful end dangerous iliness he calied Judges Davies and Pierrepont in counsel, and that they advised the course he pursued. THE STARK WEATHER CASE, Aliuding to the charge that he decided not to bring an action on rhe claim against Henry Stark- weather, the jather-in-iaw of Governor Hoffman, he states nis views of the facts and law in the case. He then concludes his defence to this charge as iollows :— Anxious to make no mistake I sought the gratuitons and rriendly advice of Mr. Augastos F. Smith, of the iaw firm ot Martin 4 Smith. His protessional experience and his relation to me of brother and triend rendered him dviser, In annexed statement Mr. A. F. smith says:—"l then advised that I had no doubt, and I have now oo doubt, that a suit againgst Stark weatber for this mouev, so voluntarily paid. must have railed ;” “and, eutertaining such views, it Lhad been your place I should not have sued otarkweather, and thereby put the city to the expense, in counsel fees costs and allowance, of some thousands of dollars to ni good purpose.” Mr. bvarts says:—"It would seem to me th: Corp 1» Counsel could not have ex- pecied to recover iu asuit brougnt for the moneys so voluntarily paid.” | THE BING sUrTS.

The Park Commissioners held a meeting yester- day morning, at which bills to the amount of | $27,782 39 were andited. Thomas McKowen, a park keeper, charged with intemperance, was dis- missed. In answer to the resolution passed by the Board of Aldermen inquiring whether the Commis- stoners could, with advantage, begin new works within the next two months, the President was directed to send an affirmative reply, and to stat that a large number of men could be employed by the department were it not for the want of junds, ‘The Executive Committee presented the rough drait of a report in regard to the work to be done on the Riverside Park, which will be engrossed. The supervising archi- tects’ report, stating that numerons repairs on bridges, cottages, c., im the Central Park should be completed immediately, was referred to the landscape architect for an estimate 01 cost. The report Says that if these repairs are deierred until the spring new structures will becume ne- | cessary. ‘The resolution of the North Side Asso- | ciation, recommending the immediate survey of | that part of the city lying norta of the Harlem River, tne filing of a map of the linesot streeis, | roads, avenues, by the department, the bulluing | of an adaitional bridge across the river sufficient: | ly high at the draw so as not to interfere with the | Davigation of small steamers, and the extension | oi the Coton water system to the two new wards, | were read at the meeting and placed on file.

Assoon asthe sun became sufficiently positive yesterday morning to shorten bia beams and drop them upon the frozen earth hundreds of young- sters, some with one skate, some with two aud some wttt no skates at all, made their way to the Fark to enjoy the tun on the tce, At noon the bright and smooth surface of tbe lake was slive with @ heterogeneous crowd of boys and men scudding to and tro under all sail, and at rates of speed Varying irom the flash to the /uneral. Later in the day the monotony of view under- went @ remarkable change, tor, braving the in- tense cold, nundreas of bright eyed and rosy cheeked damsels appeared upon the scene, and, with their gay costuwwes, silvery laugh aod melo- dious voice, lent a charm to the waning day that niade it one long to be rsmemberea by the many sober-sided spectators Wio stood shivering on the bank watching the sports of the merry ones, At night, however, a more lovely scene than Central Park presented by moonlight it is not possible to imagine. It was a picture of fatry-like encnant- ment, and no very vivid imagination was required to believe one’s seif tn elfia land, ON BUNNERS, The sleighing in the city and environs continued excellent yesterday. Fromearly in the morning until evening, and also far into the nignt, the ad- mirers of this pastime were to be seen behind fast and showy horses entering the Park and scamper- ing around the long sweep:ng curves, over the hilis aod chrough the hollows out into the fasbion- able drives beyond, Juli of Iife and enthusiasm, TROTTING TO BLEIGHS. A trotting contest to sleighs—the first that ever took place on a race track in this neignborhood— came off yesterday afternoon at Fleetwood Park. The novelty called out quite a large attendance, Who seemed to relish tne sport exceedingly. Those who congregated at the track came gen. erally in sleigns, and there was a grand display of these venicles in all tue various styles. Tne Port- however, predominated, and it is very apparent that it 1s the most fashionabie with the majority of men who drive iast horses on the Toad. For the race there were six entries, comprising Jonn Murphy’s sorrel gelding Sorrel Jake, T. Trimble’s brown mare Lady Trimble, J. Olcott’s bay gelding Harry, J. Haslett’s bay gelding Sher. mun, 8, Londen’s bay gelding Jerry and D. Hil- ton’s brown gelding John Adams. Betore the start pools were sold on tne event, Sorrel Jake being the firss cho.ce, Lady Trimble the second the field fetching very small figures, Harry ‘and Sherman were withdrawn-before tue start. ihe course was in tine cunfidition ior sleighing, it having been rolled and made as smooth as a carpeted floor on tae suriace; ye: the horses sunk @ trifle at every stride and could not make auytning like the time they do on @ bard ory track in hot weather. Four heats were closely contested between Sorrel Jake, Lady Trimble and Jerry. John Adams being no matca for tne others hecut a very poor figure in the race and was withdrawn after the second heat.

But there are none now so poor as to give them even an encour- aging word; none, even among tne new City Fauners, so lost to toe recollections of the Past career of the “Assistants” as to bid them be Oi good cheer, because the day of political miracies 1s yet @ thing O/ the present.
