Tributes to the Memory of the Departed States- man Throughout the Country. GREENVILLE, Tenn., August 3, 1875. ‘This morning the sun was obscured by clouds, and fears were entertained that the weather Would prove unpropitious, but neither clouded skies mor impending sturms could restrain the presence of those who wished to do honor to the illustrious dead and pay the last tribute to one, who, whatever fortune might betide, always stooa up for the people. At un early hour crowds of citizens on horseback, in vehicles ana on foot, came pouring into town, while each train con- Stantly swelied the number, until it seemed the streets could not contain the multitudes, THE BODY of the ex-President haa been removed from his late residence to the Court House on Monday, . Where tt lay in state under a Masonic guard until the hour of the funeral arrived and When it was Visited by thousands eager to obtain a iast look at the features which many had iast seen lighted up with the grandetir of great thoughts, his op- ponents meanwhile quatling beneuth nis fearless glance or power of scathiug invective.

MEmruis, Tenn., August 3, 1875, A preliminary meeting in memory of ex-Presi- dent Johnson was held in the Court House square this evening, and a Committee on Resolutions was | @ppointed, to report at a mass meeting on Satur- | day evening at the Exposition Buliding, THE FEELING IN THE CITY, Perhaps never since the startling news of the agsassindtion of President Lincoln has any tele+ gram created more profound regret than that re- | celved last Saturday announcing the sudden and unexpected demise of ex-President Andrew John- | son, The news fell upon the metropohs like a | pall, and it 1s @ matter of grave doubs whether yesterday New York city or the quiet litte village of Greenviile, Tenn, was the most serious or respecttul in the cele. bration of the obsequics. ‘“o be sure, those be- yond the Mason and Dixon line could gaze upon the calm, pale features of their illustrious dead while the people here could only honor his mem. ory; but, both North and South, the feel- ings which prompted the respective demon- Strations . were equally sincere aid welled up from thousands of sorrowing ones, who, though perhaps they never saw the ex-Pres- ident, yet loved and respected him for the man- ful way 1 which he had fulfliled the duties of his office durmmg the darkest hoursin the history o1 the Republic, It was this feeting, and this feeling alone, that rendered Andrew Joanson’s death a source of national bereavement, and, according to tele- graphic advices previously communicated in these columns, there does not not seem to be any section of the country, no matter how remote, that does not feel that in his demise the nation has lost one of its worthiest and most honorable men, Hence: it was that New York city yesterday was in tears, Fromevery staff along Broadway and all:the adjacent avenues the flags nung at haif- mast; indeed, even the elements seemed to sym- pathize with a loss so great, and while the me- tropolis Was in gloom the heavens sent down a gentie rain. ne New York Custom House and other public and governmental buildings were closed out of respect to the memory of the ex-Presicent, while the different social and po- litical societies and clubs passed appropriate reso- lutions of regret for the friends and relatives of the deceased. In @ word, there was scarcely an- institution of any prominence, either public or private, that was not in mourning, and thas did Not betray its sympathy i @ fitting’ manner, ANDREW JOHNSON VETERAN VOLUNTEER CLUB. Ata meeting of the Andrew Johnson Veteran August 2, 1875, the following resolutions were adopted unantmoasly ;-- Whereas our beioved and most med ex-Presi- dentof the United States, Andrew Johnson, has been called by the Supreme Being trom this sphere of action; therefore he it Resolved, That in this dispensation of Divine Provi- once we, the inewiyess of te Andrew Jobuson Veteran Volunteer Club of the city of New York, who ithas been our delig who was a true. patriot and statesman} the wife a true and loving husband; his children a noble tather: one who had endeared himself to all, His many virtues will never be forgotten. We cannot avoid expressing in the strongest terins we are capable ot our admiration of his character in all his walks of life, tor, in whatever capa- | city he was chosen to act, he won the admiration of ail, being prompt and energetic at all times, Resolved, That to the surviving members of his family we tender our heartielt sympathies, and trust that the happy memories of his honorable lite and many virtues may tend In some degree to soften their griet and con- sole them in thetr hour of aftliction. Resoived, That the members of the club wear crape ou the left arm for thirty days, and @ copy of theso resolutions duly authentieated, ‘be presented to the family of the ex-Presiaent and’ acopy be sentto the New Yorx Henaty.

Ciel Clerk Hawley then presented the following personal communication :— On Friday last there were made before a committee ot the Legislature certain ex parte statements affecting my integrity.

The time honored event in yachting circles ts the annual cruise of the New York Yacht Club, for around it gather memories that unite, not only its members, but all wio have been identified with pleasures and reminiscences that deserve a history. ‘The present occasion will not present less at- tractive features than those which have called the club together in times gone ody, and it is fair to presume that when the gentlemen who compose this representative organization meet again, they wiil once more celebrate and illustrate the grand Work that underlies the purpose of the true American yachtsman, The cruise in contemplation promises to be one of the most Interesting in the history of the cinb; for arrangements have been made to give to the occasion features tn which all tudiviaual members will jeel unusual pride. It is not slone in the swiftness of the respective yacnts, or “the ability of this owner or the other to achieve the success on which each counts a possible reward, that the Pleasure of the trip will rest, but w is in the rare good Jellowship that may be developed in what might be termed & species of marine club liie, and THE NATIONAL GAME, CHICAGO VS.

The game opened Well on both sides, not a run being scored until the third inning, when the Chicago nine got ina single through 4 muff by Hallinan, who did notfeld up te the mark. Tie Mutuals did not score until the fourth inning, when geou hits by Hallinan and Houldsworth and an error by Higham, who mufied several times, gave them one run. In the Mth ining the Caicagos were again blanked, and Booth baa made a base hit and Nelson was at the bat when rain began to fall and the game was called, there being no prospect of the weather clearing suMiciently to allow of the game be- ing conciuded.

The irst port made will be New London, where a series of festivities is announced. The fleet will then proceed to Newport and subsequently to Martha’s Vineyard and elsewhere, it may be mentioned in connection with these yachting pleasures that quite a number of yacht owners are desirous of extending their trip farther ngrth, even among the ragged islangs on the coast of Maine, where there are well known hunting and fishing grounds. Whether the entire club will engage in this new Dastime 1s a question yet to be determined, If all the vessels should not unite in this excursion the remainder will, doubtless, carry cut the pro- gramme. Altogether, the prospects of the cruise are among the highest connected with its history, gud when they pave been realized it will probably be found that the summer joys of 1875 will be reckOwed among the most deligniful memories in the records of the New York Yacht Club.

BUFFALO RACES POSTPONED, BUPFALo, August 3, 1875. On account of the recent rains and the conse- quent heavy condition of the track the races for to-day have been postponed until to-morrow, which will necessarily make each day’s races as advertised one day late, The weather, however, looks threatening, and it bas rained most of the day. Unless we have a bright warm day to-morrow the races must necessarily be postpoved a day longer.

Some conversation took place as to the pub)! waen the fall meeting would be called. Some members thought it should be fixed for the mid- dle of next mouth, but others opined that the lat- ter part of Sepvember or the beginning of October would answer better. The Chairman was in favor of giving to the States and Territories the longest possible time, so that they could the better select the teams to represent them in the intergtate maton, Geni Shaler was desirous of incinding a ress match in the programme for the fall meet- ng, and wanted to Know from the representa. tives of the press present whether such a compe- tition Would be well attended.

TOLEDO, Obio, August 3, 1875. The preparations for the seventh annual regatta of the Northwestern Amateur Rowing Assocta- “tion, to come off in this city on Wednesaay and Thursday next, are now complete, and the pros- pect bids fair for a successful occasion. Seventy- five entries’ have been made, with sixty-one boats im place for position. The attendance of visitors 1s already large. The local clubs have provided @ supero boathouse, which accommodates all the boats present. ‘this has hecome a permanent affair in Toledo, and 1s rapidly in- creasing In importance and favor. It 1s notice. able that, while most of the streams have been raised to Hood tide by the recent heavy rains, our } Tiver, though somewhat bigher, with more than ordinary current, is yet in good condition tur Towing. AMUSEMENTS. CENTRAL PARK GARDEN. The very inclement weather which prevailed last night was anything but encouraging for amusement goers, yet, nevertheless, a goodly company assembied at Thomas? Garden, attracted by that magnetic announcement, “A Beethoven Night.” The Colossus of instrumental masic was well sepresented in the following works :—Part of the “Prometheus” music, ia which Mr. 0. Hemann played a violoncello obligato with all the skil of a Piatti; the septet, opus 20, consisting of theme and variations, scherzo and finale; the overture to “Coriolanus;”’ the immortal © minor sym- prony, the third and grandest of the ‘Leonora’ overtures; the romanza in G, played by all the first violins, and the qaaint Turkish march from “rhe Ruins of Athens,” The orchestra always .| enters upon a grateiul task wnen the works of the greatest of masters are presented toit. In the symphony Care 4 there was a wealth of artistic power and effect, such might be ex- pacda irom this incomparable organization. On thursday next Haydn’s eleventh symphony in G, ofthe Breitkopf & Haertel edition, will be the | principal feature’ of the programme. GILMORE’S CONCERT GARDEN. The programme at this garden had some new | interesting numbers, besides those well-known selections which have attained such a degree of popularity that they are retained still on the bills, The ‘Reverie’? of Vieuxtemps, very effectively scored ior Mr, Gilmore’s band of 100 by Herr Schmelz, was given with an effect that would scarcely be looked for in a military organization, when @ Violia solo was the original subject. The celebrated buffo, Ferranti, contributed a work in theshape ofa concert waltz, which was at first intended for Adelina Patti. It 1s sparkling and melodious. Sohst sang the baritone cavatina from the first act of “Saffo”? with that fire and expres- Sion that recallea the Old days of the Academy, and gave @ ballad of Gumbert as an encore. Levy played a dashing polka, “Zerlina,” and “Spirito Gentil? as an encore. The jinale from Bach’s “Ariele,” an excellent specimen of the sturdy old school, showed how a military band can produce a work generally accredited vo the orchestra in an effective manner. Herr Schmelz is engaged upon @ band score of the “Rhapsodie Hongrotse, No. 2,” for Giimore. Levy and Arbuckle play a cornet duet on Saturday and next week a cornet quartet will be played by Gilmore, Levy, Arbuckle and nt. RECEPTION TO BARRY SULLIVAN. The anticipated early arrival of the distinguished tragedian, Barry Sullivan, whois on the steamer Germanic, due here next Sunday, has suggestea the propriety of a public reception at the hands of his fellow countrymen, Quite a number of prominent Irish-Americans have already signified their intention to take active part in the proposed demonstration, and the list of names is being rapidiy augmented. Mr, Eugene Kelly, the well known bauker, is chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, and among the many who will assist in the comptiment are Jobn Brougham, Hon. S. 8 Cox, Hugh J. Mastings, Judge John R, Brady, Algernon 8, Sailivan, Richard O'Gorman, Commissioner J. J. O’Donahue, Jeremiah Quinian, Thomas J. Creamer, William J.

Above Sixty-seventh street there are many lots, upon both the east and west sides of the avenue, that can with propriety be regarded as actually afloat, the water upon them being in some cases fully six feet deep. Were this water pure, its presence would be @ benefit rather thana curse, but, unfortunately, instead of being clean and sweet and fresh, tt is slimy and rotten. Nor When this 1s said 1s its actual condition fully de- scribed, for floating upon the slimy surface of Many of the sunken lots along Fourth avenue, Particularly in the vicinity of Sixty-sixth street, can be seen the dead bodies of cats and dogs and | goats—animal matter gradually deeaying amid | slush and slime—the exuaations of wnich pollute the air and defile the chambers of hundreds of neighboring houses, All along Fourts avenue, in the vicinity of the point designated above, these sunken lots are to be seen reeking in fitth and rottenness, which are not alone disgusting to look upon, but which have also imaugurated many a contagious disease, and have become the direct instruments of many a sad on- umely death, UNWHOLESOME UPTOWN, “As we Increase our city in area, the shorter we make the journey to our graves,’ said a resident of Fourth avenue to the H&RALD reporter yesterday, as he stood looking down upon the filthtness of a block, unfilled save with stale water and garbage. “At this day it really seems as if progress were disease, and the expansion of territory in the neighborhood of Harlem certain death, All uptown 1s rotten; pestilence and Plague brood in the air and hover over the privacy of every Harlem home. White I am neither a prophet nor the son of @ prophet, still I venture to predict that unless these vile, filthy lots are filled in and these disgusting odors subdued, Har- Jem will, necessarily, become depopulated. I can mention a dozen families who have moved away Within a year because unable to endure tuese dis- gusting smelis.”” THE THIRD AVENUE SEWERS, Passing from Fourth avenue over to Third, and walking from Sixty-elghth street up as far as Ninety-fifth, the HERALD reporter found a gang of laborers at work in the street, the middle of the thorougbiare, aud, in fact, every inch of space that could be utilized, being piled up with pieces Of broken sewers. “The whole system of sewerage along this aye- nue seems crushed to atoms,” said ove of the head laborers, ‘and the state of affairs discovered here no doubt exists up as far as 105th street.” ‘This strictly corroborates the statement made a few days ago by the HERALD that ‘‘toe water run- ning over the flats irom the high stone abutment | at Ninety-eighth, 102d, 103d, 104th and 105tn streets must proceed from a ruptured sewer, and not from springs said to exist on the west side of the avenue, Amore unsatisfactory and disruptured line of Sewerage than that disclosed by the handinl of laboring men digging at Niuety-fifth street and Thira avenne bas seldom been seen.

We who reside in this im- Mediate locality, when journeying between any two given points to either, walk througn the mua or else wade througn tue water. Ina word, the cross streets up here are simply horrible, ana even the slightest shower seis them positively | afloat.’ ‘HAT AWFUL SPOT.’? . Over and over again has the HeRALp called the attention of the Board of Health, now hampered by Green, to the pestilential spot at tue corner of 106th street and Secona avenue. It takes in an entire block, lts waters, particularly along the upper boundary, are altiay and reeking with offensive odors. The ertire place should be dramed at once. Recent rains have deeply fillea it, and yesterday, upon approaching ir, the HERALD reporter found seveu or eight little fel- lows swimming in its murky tide.

The flats were siimy and foul yesterday. They always are after a rain. Deep poois of dead water rested on them, over which were clustered duminutive insects of almost every variety. Tne present condition of the flats is, after all, only @ slight improvement upon what they were three mouths ago. The odors exuding are Still very dis- usting. ‘Ine authorities have only partially ful- lied thetr work.

They say that their sur- Troundings are but very littie improved, being al- most as disagreeable aad surely a8 dangerous io health as before. ACTION OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH. Ata meeting of the Board of Health yesterday @ resolution was adopted requesting tne Police Commissioners to consent to a transter of $2,000 from the unexpended police balances of 1874 for the use of the Health Department, to be applied to vaccinating purposes. Notwithstanding the uni- versal popular indignation against the loathsome condition o. the Harlem flats, expressed again and again, the pest beds remain untouched, The | stumbling block this time appears to consist of Comptrolier Green. I¢ will be remembered wat about a month ago the Board oi | Health determined to take upon itself | the work of filing in a portion of the aisease-breeding flats, and to that end petitioned the Board of Estimate and Apportion- meat for an appropriation with which to perform the work. After @ little delay an appropriation of $21,067 43 was granted, and the Health Depart- ment immediately began the long deferred and needed task, Although nothing was neard from the monoy, the Health Commissioners did not doubt for a moment thatthe sum appropriated for the work by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment would be forthcoming. Two weeks ago some of the contractors employed became uneasy as to the certainty of their compensation, and re- quested information with regard to the same. A communication was accordingly sent by the Seo. retary of the Health Board to the Comptroller, re- spectiully asking why the sum appropriated had not been forwar by him. ‘the Comp- troller’s reply was evasive and unsaus- factory, and 4 conference resulted, which it was ascertained that Mr. Green’s Obstructive qualities had become agitated, He had serious aoubts as to the legality of an appro- and, besides, the Harlem fats dhe was not going to pay over the sum appropriated until the matter nad been tested. Tne board of Health, powerless, in comsequence, to proceed with the illiing in, were compelled to suspend operations, The following resolution, introduced by Presi- dent Chandler and adopted by the Board, bids fair to be the initial step to a legal battle between the Board and the Watchdog of the city treas- ury— é Whereas this Board has declared the district known as the Harlem flats to be in a condition dangerous to the public health, and has ordered the same to be properly drained and’ filled, and whereas the Board of Appoi- tionment has transfered the sum of $21,.67 43 from the unexpended balances of this department for the years 1872 and 1878 for this purpose, and whereas this Board has employed suitaby agents to ex ite the necessary york under its direction, and whereas questions have arisen as to the legality of this action, by Which the ex- ecution of the work 18 serionsiy retarded, therciore, Resolved, That the Corporation Counsel be and hereby is respectfully requested to inform this Board at his ourliest convenience whether the Board of apportio mont did iegaily trangies the necessary funds. second, Bila! ether the Board of Health is empowered t Tptowa oruers.

COUNTERFEIT GATHERING IN THR GANG OF COINERS oF SPURIOUS FIVE-CENT PLECES—ARRAIGNM: OF THE LOUGHERYS. The United States authorities of Brooklyn are quite elated over their recent success tn detect ing counterfeiters, On Monday evening two deputy marshals, acting upon information, visited a stable on Lexington avenne, near Lewis avenue, and took possession of the tools and Dlates from whieh the recently discovered bogus five-cent nickel pieces were struck. The property thus secured by the government is worth $10,000, ‘The stable in question was leased by John and Thomas Loughery, the brothers who were on Saturday last arrested by Detective Patrick Murphy, of New York, while about to cross over to Brookiyn by the Williamsburg ferry. When arrested the Lougherys had in their possession a box containing metal and dies for the counter- felt five-cent pieces, which they said they had re. ceived from Phillip ‘Lewinske to manufacture knives and spoons. Lewinske was arrested a week ago on suspicion of being connected with a counterfeiting gang. It was upon tmormation received from this man that the officers were en- abled to locate the business place of the Lough- erys, The latter men occupied two neat orick houses on Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, but they were wise enough not to keep any of the paraphernalia of their nefarious calling on their premises, Hence it was thas when the detectives called and ransacked their houses two days ago they were unsuccessful in obtaining any lurther evidence against them as counterieiters, The stabie was Dot searched tll Lewineske “peached” upon them, ‘There was discovered @ forge tuily equipped, with @ new five-cent piece in it, heavy presses and other tools, such as compressing aud cutting Da~ chines, files and dies. ‘This material was removed to the office of United States Marshal Harlow, in Montague street. The coins put in circulation by Lewinske were struck off with these presses. Lewinske will doubtless be used as State’s evidence against the other members of the gang. He professes to be willing to give the pames of the irmsin New York which tur- nisbed the presses and tools. He says twat the Loughery brotners are the principals in the bust- mess and that ho and Rudolph scareiver (who is also under arrest) were merely tueir tools, John Loughery is a machinist, and Lewinske claims to have no knqwledge whatever of that trade, so that he could not, he argues, have vad anything to do with the making of the spurious coiu. Yes- terday afternoon Detective Murphy brought over to Brookiyn, for examination beicre United States Commissioner Winslow, John aud Thomas: Loughery, They were held to bailin the sum of $5,000 each, which they failed to iurnish. They were remanded to jail till to-day, when they will be again arraigned, and decide as to whether they will waive examination and go beiore the Grand Jury or stand examination. Should they decide to stand exammation they will have a hearing be- fore vne Commissioner on Thursday. Warrants are in the bands of Deputy Marshal De Clue and other oficers for the arrest of other members of the “queer” gang, and they wil! doubtiess ve ar- Tested to-day. - THE GREENWICH STREET MURDER, CORONER'S INQUEST YESTERDAY IN THE CASE OF ANTONE NORDSTROM—BENGISSON COMMITTED TO THE TOMBS.
