Garbage Mpnuments to the Memory of the Street Cleaning Department. mmm ‘ASH-BARREL REFUSE AT A‘ PREMIUM. ‘The dumping of garbage, ashes and street cll ings into scows on the river fronts bas always been attended more or less by nulsances and abuses offensive to the senses of the people re- siding in the neighborhood and travellers on vessels plying fo and iro beside them, At no time have they been so badly managed as now. When the work of removing garbage, ashes, &c., was in the hands of the Board of fleaith there was some dtterapt to avoid the establishment of pest breed- ing depots on tne river fronts, oy disinfecting the putrescent filth collected from the slums of the city before its removal to the dumping grounds. They also partially succeeded in having the ashes separated irom the garbage, thus enabling them to take the dry ashes for fillimg in pur- poses, Under the management of Mes:rs, Disbecker, Matsell and Thorne the work of collecting and removing this stuifis an infamous outrage upon our people. No attempt is made to disinfect tne rotten vegetables, decayed fish or other animal matter. No effort worthy of the name 1s made to separate the dry ashes irom the VILE-SMELLING MASS OF CORRUPTION collected from the kitchens, restaurants and mar- kets, Ashes, fish, ola rags, bones, decayed meats, and, In somo instances, dead dogs and cats, are pitched promiscnously mto the carts and dumped off the dumping boards into the scows, Then this mass Of death-giving odors is towed away to tue Harlem fats or to Black vell’s Island and dumped on low ground to fillit up to the level, or carried sway to Jersey for a similar purpose. ‘With a view of gaining aa accurate knowledge wm the manner in which the refuse of the city 18 Usposed of a reporter of the HERALD yesterday | made an inspection of all the dumping boards on the North and East rivers. His discoveries are well calculated to cause alarm to all who have the Bealth of the people at heart and who do not de- sire to see the city depopulated this summer. Before proceeding to describe these dumping places tt is proper to say that chere are on the Nortn River six of these disgusting places and on the East River nine. They are located at Twenty-first, Little Tweifth, Laight, Thirty- seventh and Forty-seventh streets om the North | River, apd Market, Jackson, Stanton, Fifth, Seventeenth, ‘Twenty-second, Thirty-elghth, Fortieth and Forty-sixth streets on the East River. | The Department of Docks set apart these slips for exclusive use of the Police Department, | erect the gumping boards and keep them Im repair.

Here they profess to separate the manure, ashes | and garbage and dump them on separate scows, Dn the left the reporter found a schooner loaded with manure or street sweepings. On the right was a scow partially filled with ashes, as the “trimmer” claimed, but which in reaitty was a mix:ure of ashes, street dirt, putrid animal and rogetable matter, bones and crockery ware. At the head of the pier was the garbage scow upon | which “rabbish” is dumped. This mass of foul- | ness surpasses description. There was every | article imaginable, incluaing straw from vile smelling beds, rotten oranges, lemon peels, de- | payed “fish, oyster and ciam shells, old pants, | shoes, boots, broken crockery, rotten mest, hoop- skirts, dead rats, stinking vegetables, putrid fruits, tol jo cans, Old bottles, pots, pans, ket- tes, old hate, disheioths, soup dones, baby linen, blooay rags—indeed, aimost everytbing buat dead babies and United States currency, ‘The inspector was absent, so the man woo trims the scows was questioned as to the disposition of the vile trash. He reported that the garbage is used to fill in the low land of the New Jersey Central Katlroad at Communtpaw; that the ma- Dure is sold to captains of coasting schvoners, who remove it and sell it to armers in Jersey and on Long Island.

Few were seated; almost ali were standing up and taiking away gayly. Mr. BeeSher was the centre of a Piymouth church group. He chatted freely and pleasantiy with {riends and | Mrs. Beecher looked as delighted | strangers alike. as tt the jory had just brought in a verdict acquit- ting her husband. In fact, there was never a morning in the trial when the princtpals, the law- yers and the audience were im such a m Theodore Tilton eye, a brisk step and a reconstructed suit of appa- rel. He wore a white vest, a purple silk scarfand purple woollen pants, The self-appointed Plym- outh charch ushers were in summer costume to the extent of white vests and striped neckties, A dozen ladies, more than the usual attendance, fashionably dressed and moderately favored with good looks, were scattered through the audience. seats vacant. The gallery was packed and people stood thick as bees in the doorways. TNe atmos- phere was close, thougn not very distressing. Mr. Evarts was in great good humor. After bantering Pat Keady a while he moved over and took a seat beside Tilton and both of them must nave-nad an agreeabie talk, lor they laughed in a way that in- dicated no very bloodthirsty feeling between them. Mr. Beach took few if any notes, but leaned back in his chair, calmiy contemplating the blue | sky through the oven window. ‘he anticipation of Evarts speaking about noon caused the throng that filled the corridor, THE LAWYERS’ BEADS TOGETHER. A good deal of consulting between the lawyers took place before Mr. Porter resumed his ad- dress, it was a quarter past eleven when tie be- gan. He thanked the jury for their attention, and especially that member of it—Mr. Jeffrer—who on the day previous was compelled to yield to the 1 effects of the atmosphere, THE KNELL OF THE ORATION, A church bell broke out in slow and solemn toll- ing while Porter was nearing the last hour of nis speech, and the facetious ones deciared it was the funeral knell of the protracted oration, However irretevant, much that it contained was marred by Billipgsgate that could have nad no sensibie pur- pose. Parts of the speech will stand as being models of eloquent and powerful invective, THE LAST APPEAL to the jury set Porter's voice ail in a quaver, so that tt was dificult to understand what ne was saying. He made no peroration in the reguiar sense of the word. There was no appeal to the Jary to look to their conscience and their Goa be- fore making up their minds upon a verdict. The old-fashioned style of winding up was dispensed with, and Porter ended more quietly than he be- gan.

There are several noteworthy fea- tu:es in toe testimony of Mrs. Mouiton. Ove is the fact tuat, according to ber own account, she was the zealous friend and partisan of tne defendant to Whom sie now imputes adauitery, unt Sunaay, the loth of July, 1874, the day aiter ‘Tiiton aud Moulion sent their contradietury mes- 8 by Redpath to Mr. Beecher. Another is tue act buat On oF before that day she Was in consul- tauion with Judge Morris avd General Kutler, and Una on that day, just one mouth bdetore Mr. Beecher made tie Statemeut uf when Moulioa complains, It Was arranged a ber own house be- tweea lier and her husband that ste should not appear before tbe church committee, dut that a suit for crim. cou. should be brougut by Tuton against Mr. Beecher and in that suis sve should ear to lis conlessions to her in order to cou- Vict him and Mis, Tuiou of adultery. Have tne fact fixed by the evidence of Mrs. Moulton that cuts suit sas to be brought, and at the very time the rogues had xed upon their scheme Moulton wis preserving the letiers he bad pledged himseti to burn, At this very time (hey meditated this very action, and had conferred towether as Lo tne wit esses by Whom they might Mamtam the claim if tuey failed of their purpose of blackmail in ine mesnume. My iriead cals my attention to tne fact tha! at a laver period of her evidence she testifies explicitely to Sumething more; tht Moul- tou is the Mau W.o arranged this conspiracy; for he had deciared that “with my knowledge oi the case and of Mr. Beecher, I should not wish to ha » go belore the Court,” and yet this mau Moniton was long alterward writing those ietters to Mr. Beecher lor 1be purpose of drawing from him conf as of confideuce and tieudsntp, ad which were afterward putin evidence, and that Was 10 suow hoW he had used expressions of fervent gratitude tothe man whom he was ail the tume betraying.

Let me again remind you—this is che orginal story— that her statement is all informacion received, not from Mr. Beecher, but from others.
