B “THE POST OFFICE. The Great Pie Stand Question Finally Settled. President Grant Inspects the Building. Grievous Complaints About Bad Light and Wretched Ventilation, The great pie stand question was yesterday over- shadowed by the visit of President Grant to tho Post Office. In sooth, it required some such extraordinary event to throw that important question, which bas stirred public feeling to its depths, into the shade, Ludicrous as tt may seem it is nevertheless true that the pio and cake stand was the question of the hour, As Postmaster James aptly expressed {t yesterday, “every man’s pride who felt a share in the grandeur of tthe new building was offended” by the disgraceful ple counter in the handsome lobby, The Postmaster seemed to be fully conscious of the uproar which this Hittle stand had made in the world, and that in the mind ‘of the New York public it transcended in immediate in- terest the revolt of the Sclavs in Herzegovina, the Qark fst war, and even the Old Catholic Conference at Bonn It will be a source of satisfaction to the outraged sentiment of the public to know that two of the great departments of our national government—the Post Office and the Treasury—have been in serious communication with one another on the subject of this ple stand, and that even our gallant Postmaster General felt himself constrained to address yesterday the follow. ing lengthy telegram to the Postmaster of New York, which shows that the wave of popular excitement has even reached Washington:— THE POSTMASTER GENERAL'S DESPATCH, Wasurxoron, D. C., Sept. 2, 1875. Hon. T. L. Jawns, Postmaster, New York city :— Colonel Knowlton writes that the lunch table and stand In the new office is a disgrace to the building. I understand Bristow greed with me that there were to be no stands 0 place for eating ples or for selling his I suggest that they be cleared out angers were from, the temple, MARSHALL JEWELL, From the above {t will be seen that the Postmaster General, after grave consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, has taken a determined stand on the Stand question, so that the next democratic Congress ‘will have no weapon against his administration, so far es this nuisance is concerned. It is only to be regretted that the unfortunate wording of the despatch leaves pen the imputation that the Postmaster General ob- Jects only to the sale of ‘poor’? and not also of good whiskey; but it is charitable to presume that it was @ictated in baste, and probably not designed for such ‘an interpretation, It will be scen from Postmaster James’ answer that he very discreetly forbearsto make ‘any allusion to the whiskey. The following was his reply :— POSTMASTER JAYES’ REPLY, After consultation with Hon. W. A. Potter, Supervising tect, the buisance was abated yesterday. TLL SAMES, Postmaster. And thus the great pie-stand question has been set- fled without bloodshed and @ popular uprising pre- vented by the judicious course of the government, After Saiurday next the pieman will no longer adorn the lobby, and the hungry pie-eaters will have to ap- e thelr craving somewhere else. Seriously speak- g, although the removal of this little counter may at frst blush appear a trifling matter, unworthy of such serious public agitation, it cannot be doubted that, the precedent being once firmly established, innumerable ‘Other eyesores of a similar character would have sprung up in almost every corner of the fine building and its handsome lobbies turned into a sort of TUMBLE-DOWN PRUIT AND PIR MARKET ‘and general restaurant. Another good result of this agitation is that the lunchroom which was announced © open in a few days at the Northern end of the Broad- ‘way side has also been nipped in the bud, the Postmas- r declaring that no gastronomic eftrescences of any will be allowed fn the building. His Excellency President Grant, in company with Col- lector Casey, of New Orleans, paid a visit to the Post Office yesterday. With commendable republican sizn- icity he came unannounced, and, when the two dis- guished strangers made their appearance tn the Post- Master's anteroom and Mr. Casey inquired if the Post- master ‘was in,” the faithful attendant, suspecting that {it was one of the thousand politicians who overrun tho office witha view to get an appointment for some Worthy man eager to servo his native, country, eaid, “Pll see, sir. Please send in your card.” PRESIDENT GRANT STOOD MODESTLY ASTD: hat in hand, while the famous New Orleans Collector proceated to comps with the business-like request of ‘attendant; but Providence; which proverbially cares for every little sparrow, does not even forget President and at tue awkward juncture one of the depertaus rintendents happened to pass through the room. Sia immediately recognized the President of the United St as shocked, of course, that the great man should have to sendin his card to the Post master of New York like any other mortal. He whis- red a few words tothe attendant, and the door of the aster’s private sanctum instantly be open as though touched by @ wand. The Postmaster was and jot a little surprised at the unexpected visit from Hig llency, we President, who, to be historicalig ise, ressed in black and wore a swallow. 1 and a rather shabby it, ostmaster James, ‘though suffering greatly froma cut in his foot, which Feduces Lis gait toa paidfal limp, led his distinguished Es through the entire building, which seemed to af- ¢ him much pleasure. The tour, with the necessary explanations, lasted an hour, after which the President bade his host a hasty adieu f BAD LIGHT. Already there aro many grievous complaints on the toftheemployés about the bad light It seems the chandeliers in the main working room are wo- fully inadequate, and hence a hundred India-rabber tubes have to be used to give the men light immedi- pely over their desks, The whole lighting apparatus tn this room appears to be wretche: were it not for the makeshifts already alluded to it ‘would be impossible to see at night. It ts obvious that for the instantaneous reading at night of all sorts of Mlegivle superscriptions of letters a vivid light right ver the counter is absolutely necessary, while the chandeliers are ata great height from the desks and also very few in number. One sorter said that if this state of things were not quickly remedied they would goon be blind, and they all agreed as to the total iuade- quacy of the light in the room and as to the superiority Of the old building in this reapect. A STIFLING ROOM. There are also bitter complaints about the total lack of ventilation in the newspaper room, which is in the Basement, right below the general working room. Mr. Forrester, the superintendent of the city newspaper department, took the writer down stairs, and his state- ment was fully borne out by the facia.’ The place was close and the air stifling, all means of ventilation hav- ing been entirely neglected. Ventilators should be Used instead of phe air-tight vault covers over the side- walk, and other means provided to afford a supply of fresh air. At present there are none whatever, and there are six huge boilers underneath it can ¢asily be imagined what an oven this place will be in the winter when they will be in full blast. Even yosterday the stmosphere was seareely endurable. The men speak ith no great compliments of this portion of the great Mullett’s work. - # MALTSTERS’ NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday was another field day whkh the Rapid The following was the report of the Executive Com- | qrangit Commissioners, who for several hours were mittee, which was adopted :-— To TH NavionaL Boanp ov SreaM Naviaation>— ‘the Executive Committee of your Board, aj Buffalo in September of last year, met in the elty of New York on the 14th of October following, with a full attendance, and organized by the election of Thomas Sperloch ag Chair- mau and W. L. James as Secretary. On the Sth of Decem- bi ‘met in Washington, with’ six members prosont awaiting the arrival of other members compared the assed by the House with that printed for the use Renate, and in the examination errors were discovered, by reason of which it was necessary to have the bill sent from the Senate to the House for correction of clerical errors, which was Gnally accomplished, and the bill referred to the Senate, and on motion of Senator Scott it was place: calendar for the 14th of that month, The bill came after some opposition from Senator Conkling an mont of the debate Seok place to enable Senator Bout obtain information from the Treasury Departmentes to the de- tails ofthe bill. When the matteragain came up in the Senate Senator Boutwell read @ communication from Mr. William Burnett, Supervising Inspector General, in which be said that he considered that the provisions of the 4 bill in many ects were better adapted to the ext of the trade the present law. I = pcg nirement: re Fe ractica- and comprehensive, the provisions of tue respect- ing the pve ing of boiler plates and the required guarantees oriuality and strength by the manufuctnrer was e great 1 provement on the present law. In the course of the deba Senator Conkling made the extraordinary statement that he could not ascertain the fairly to be complained of in the existing law, and up to that time he had heard nothing but general declamation. The fact is that Senator Vonkling op- posed us from the first with ail the bitterness of personal hos- tility; that he positively refused to hear us and avoided at- ten at the meeting of the committees when we presented the features of the bill He followed RS his former declara- tion, alleging that we had a paid lobby at our service and hired an re th h governed @ newspaper to pour out upon the members of the Senate gross and false abuse, because they asked a pause in rash legislation on this subject. The gentie- man knew, though may not know, that both as the public ‘When the bill was first called sertions are false, by Senator Thurman we were advised that Senator Conklin would make all his opposition to the bill in committee, ani that he would occupy but little time in debate in the Senate, ‘This proposition we accepted. On the 1th of February we petitioned to the committee to be heard, but we were not given an audience, and, at the request of the committee, we fupplied them with de reports of the supervising inspectors for 1873 and 1874, and it afforded us pleasure to give them even that information, On the next co hey boa en- deavored to be heard, but our request was refused. Day after day we persisted in urging our friends to bring the bill up, and on the 2d of March we were informed that Senator Conkling stated the bill should not pass if he could prevent it, and this was the final result of all Mr. Conkling’s promises and pledges. Tho Gual atvempte to pass the bill were made on the Sd of Mareh by Mr. Chandler, and on the 4th of March by Mr, Scott, but all without success. Feeling the vastimportance of the interests for which fair and just legislation was sought and knowing that we asked for nothing that was not right, we probably should plead guilty to the charge of being persistent, We only regret’ that, through the un- ceasing and unfair and causeless opposition of one man, governed by motives to ns unknown, we have failed to obtain any ofthe amendments asked for. But we hi ‘abiding confidence that the future will repay all the | the pest, and \that the good sense of the Vongro United States will relieve us from the impositi actions under which Mat interest we represent has deen so loug suffering. We have no suggestion to wake as to the future course of the National Board, but would recommend that the question of legislation be referred to the Executive Committee now to be elected. There ure in the Act many useless but jc requirements of law which the Board cannot set and although it has recommended that the law be changed in many particulars nothing hus en done. The report concluded with an expression of thanks to Secretary Bristow and to members of both houses of Congress who had aided the committee in its labors, The following was the report of the Committee on Nominations:—President, J. T. Whiting, of Michigan; First Vice Presiaent, Thomas Clyde, Pennsylvania; Second Vice President, RH. Woolfolk, Kentucky; Corresponding Secretary, B, & Osbon, New York; Re- cording Secretary, W. L.

Stark, Vermont; John Allen, Jr., Buffalo; E. T. Evans, Buffalo; J. K, Roberts, New Orleans, The re- port was adopted. The fgllowing resolution, proposed by Mr. Boflnger, ‘was referred to the Executive Committee :— Resolved, That the Executive Committee be snd are hereby instructed to have prepared and presented to the Forty-fourth Congress for passage a bill creuting a “Mixed Commission,” consisting of two army engineers, two from civil life and from the Coust Survey, one captain and one pilot of steamers navigating inland waters, said committee fo be appointed by the President of the United States for the purpose of examining into aud, reporting upon the prac: ticability of improving the navigable rivers of tho United tates; said commission to report to the honorable Secretar; of War, after having thoroughly examined and prepare charts, plans and estimates af costs of each navigable river. Resolutions were also adopted instructing the Execu- tive Committee to endeavor to procure from Congress an appropriation of $30,000 to widen the channel at the head of the Falls of the Ohio, better known as the | Indiana Shute, and to secure an amendment to the Ship- ping act, under which it is alleged grievous inconven- fences constantly occur, in which the speakers pledged themselves to co-operate with the Board, An assessment of $3,700 was made for the expenses , of the ensuing year, ‘Addresses wero then mado by General Negley, of Pennsylvania, and Messrs.

The delezates will to-day visit the Inman steamor City of Richmond, at pier No. 45 North River; then the works at Hell Gate, and probably afterward enjoy sail out to the ocean on one of the Union Ferry Company's | ferryboats, It was résolved that the next meeting of the Board be | held in Baltimore the first week in September, 1876, THE EMIGRATION COMMISSION, THE INVESTIGATION BY THE LEGISLATIVE COM- MITTEE—MISSIONARY WORK AT CASTLE GaR- DEN—LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS. The Legislative Committee appointed to investigate | the afairs of the Emigration Commission reassembled | at Castle Garden yesterday morning shortly after | eleven o'clock. The first witness examined was the Rev. Robert Neuman. In reply to numerous interro- gations he stated that for some time past he had been a member of a committee selected by several German | societies to :ttond to the interest of German emigrants | arriving at this port, He admitted that he had re- 4 | peatedly sold them railroud tickets, and averred that | | on several occasions when they had not jo their possession @ sufficient amount of | | means to purchase the tickets he himscif ad- | | vanced the money on trust for that purpose, He | further testified that at one time he had received com missions on the sale of tickets. For over a year he had not, he said, taken any commissions, all his endeavors had been mainly directed toward the | protection and welfare of the emigrants, Mr. Alvord then proceeded to propound several qués- | tions, and in reply the reverend gentleman stated that | | gration to cease the sale of tickets or to receive com- | missions in apy shape whatever. He added that | | he had received orders from the Commissioners of Emi- | closeted with Messrs, Alexander, Lowery, Foster and inted at | Scott, and other lawyers who are acting as counsel for the Gilbert and Greenwich Street Elevated railways, and President Courtright, of the latter road. Commo- dore C. K. Garrison was also in earnest consultation, sila and now it is generally believed and indeed not denied by any of the interested parties, that the promoters of these two schemes have joined interests, and that the route will be laid out on a basis of this unity of interest, Rumo has it that the basis of the agreement mainly is that the Greenwich Street Company shall have the exclusive business of the west side, with privilege of connection with tho Grand Central depot and an extension of their line to Whitehall street, and, possibly, up the east side to the Brooklyn Bridge, while the Gilbert Company shall con- struct and operate the east side line above the bridge, with sidings to Central Park and Grand Central depot. If this be so, the route likely to be selected on the east side is up Chatham and Chrystie streets, and thence up Second avenue to the Harlem River, this being the route named in the Gilbert charter, The advantage of selecting this route is that under the charter it is not necessary to.get the consent of property owners along the route, or of the Common Council, and this no doubt has largely inflaenced the commission, if such bo the programme about to be carried into effect, Mr. Commissioner Brown yesterday reported that they will certainly agree upon the route before Sun- day, possibly to-day. “If they do not agree to-day they will have a night session, and decide upon it finally, so as to promulgate it on Saturday or Sunday. Commo- dore Garrison states that he will invest in the construc- tion of any plan that the Commissioners may adopt, RAPID TRANSIT STATISTICS. Mr. Samuel B, Ruggies, the veteran statistician, yesterday sent a long communication to the Mayor, which was referred to the Commission for their intor- mation, It largely dealt in tables showing the area of the city likely to be benefited by rapid transit, and gave the progress of the city in’ point of population from 1880 to 1875, as follows :— Population Below Population Above + Total Fear, Fourteenth Stree. Fourteenth Street, Population. 1830. 191,781 11,803 202,589 1855 212, 1860. 475,412 4,254 445,596 942,292, 115,497 510,521 888,618 * The above does not include the Twenty-third and Twenty- fourth wards, having a population of 30,006, The taxable real estate in the same period has in- creased as {oliows:— Below Four- teenth Street, 0,000,000 16,713,078 3,195,229 Above Four-, Totil Valuation, teenth Street, Real & Personal. 264,125 $125 ‘238, periods is as follows:— Total Yearly Aver- Year.

Mr. Paine expressed the belief that they could easily overcome that difficulty by passing though Rose street, near the surface, where they will have thirty feet clear below the bridge. and thence through one block {nto Chatham street or New Bowery. A better plan, he thought, would be to make the New York end of the bridge at the old Staats Zeitung build- ing the eastern terminus of the East Side Elevated Railroad. The approaches to the bridge at this point are to be 100 feet. Commodore Vanderbilt had intended to make the depot for his rapid transit road under the City Hall Park, as all the travel would enter there and at the end of the bridge, In the opinion of Colonel Paine the east side road should end at tho bridge, and the west side road—the Greenwich street line, for instance, if that be chosen—should be permitted to extend their line around the lower end of the island, as near to the ferries as possible and up to the bridge, This would place the general depot of both roads at the bridge instead of the Batte: By asystem of transfer tickets he claims that passengers crossing for the Jer- sey ferries could run around by the west etde road to the City Hall, and then proceed on to any Polat the east bide ‘desired quicker tian via thé horse cars across the city, vice versa; or if they wished to cross the bridge they could for one fare reach the City Hall from or | either side of the city. Another advantage of making the bridge the termini of both roads would be that if in the event of the annexation of Brooklyn in the future it be found desirable to extend the rapid-transit lines across the bridge, they could be switched off from either line and carried across the river. The sug- gestions of Colonel Paine are well worthy of the serious consideration of the commission. Should they decide that it is advjsable tq muake the east side road acon- tinuous one from the Harlem River to the Battery, they can certainly do it without coming in conflict with the Gilbert charter, ag regards Pear! street. The road can be easily built irom the Battery, through Beaver and Gold streets, to Frankfort. At the corner of Frankfort and Gold, by taking a left oblique course through threo mnferior buildings, they can enter Rose street and pass under the East River Bridge, which is located thirty feet above the street, without any difficulties of grade that caunot be easily overcome, ANOTHER CITIZEN CRITICISES THE COMMISSION. To THe Epitor ov THe Herarp:— The Rapid Transit Commission have now been in ses- sion nearly two months, Although their sessions have been private observers ih the lobby have become familiar with the names and faces of those who have been before the Commission, and have found out that nearly their entire time has been occupied in giving audience to the lawyers and representatives of the Greenwich Street Elevated and the Gilbert Elevated companies, All this time has been taken up in trying to agree on a location which would suit their conflicting demands, All other parties but these, if granted an audience at all, have had it granted reluctantly. ‘The reason of this, it would seem, is not dificult to explain; a perusal of the Rapid Transit or Husted law, will, I think, afford an explanation of this remarkable | mode of carrying out the law which this Commission have sworn to’execute. The first mine sections of this law gre devoted to the powers and duties of the Com- He also testified that | missioners.

The witness was of opinion that the increase or reduction of head money did not in the least affect the tide of emigration. He then proceeded to give a | description of his labors at Castle Garden, reciting some | | incidents in which his timely and benevolent acts were | attended with favorable results, Finally he referred to | the fact that Castle Garden was not now what it was | | some years ago, much to bis satisfaction. | The next witness examined was Theodore B.

A paper was then read by one of the to locate the route of routes) The reason why not been done is, as has just been stated, owing selves to the point of giving these companies, which have charters of their own independent of this Com- mission, what they have asked for. The following section was evidently inserted in the law solely for the benefit of these companies :— SxctioN 36.—Whenever the route or routes determined upon by said Commissioners coincide with the route or routes covered by the charter of an existing corporation formed for the purpose provided for by this act, provided that sald. cor- poration has not forfeited its charter or failed to mae 4 with tie provisions thereof. requiring the construction of, road or roads within the time preseribed by its charter, such cor- poration shall have the like power to construct and euch railway or railways upon fulfilment of tl requirements and conditions imposed by said Commissioners as. corporation specially formed under this ect.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN, The Rapid Transit Commissioners’ Resolutions Defeated, THE ROUTE OF THE ROAD CALLED FOR, The Board of Aldermen met yesterday afternoon, President Lewis in the chair. ‘THE GATE KEEPER'S PATS. A resolution was introduced by Alderman Morris ask- ing the Commissioner of Public Works to give his reasons for the removal of Ralph Ellis, gate keeper of the reservoir, i Mr, Blessing said that the resolution was a pieco of impertinence, If Mr. Morris had had a friendremoved that was the business of the Commissioner of Public Works, The idea of asking the Commissioner why he sees fit to remove a subordinate was ridiculous. My. Morris remarked that he had no friendin office, He did not know Mr, Ellis, nor had he ever seen him, but he knew the facts inthe case, and that he was a competent man who had held the place for “nearly a quarter of a century,” and was always competent, Mr, Blessing suggested that Mr. Morris ought to look back to the time when, under the charter of 1870, through the influence of republicans, domocrats, who were competent to fill the places they liad occupied far thirty and forty years, were put out to make room for the republicans, The democratic Board of Aldermen did not then ask why the removals were made, Mr. Reilly called for the reading of the resolution a second timo, and, on hearing it read, stated that, in his opinion, the Board had no right to question any head of department as to why he removes a subordinate in his offica “Why,” said he, “does not Alderman Morris ask Comptroller Green why he has discharged some of tho most competent officers in the Finance Department to make way for friends of his, or at least for tho friends of Alderman Morris?” (Laughter.) A motion made by Mr. McCarthy to have the resolu- tion referred to the Committee on Law was finally sup- plemented by a motion of Mr, Blessing’s to place it on file, This motion Mr, McCarthy accepted, and it was carried by a strict party vote, MR. GREEN'S FIGURE WORK. President Lewis offered a resolution that a statement should be printed in the City Record correcting a gross error made by the Comptroller in his financial report, dated the 30th ult, The error was in giving $7,152 as the amount of city contingencies spent by the Common Council since January 1. As the appropriation was but $5,000 for the year 1875, the Comptroller's error led to the inference that the Board had exceeded its contin- gency appropriation by over $2,000, whereas the fact was that only $97 60 hud been expended from the ap- propriation, THOSE RAPID TRANSIT RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Purroy called up the resolutions sent to the Board by the Commissioners, in which they ask the Aldermen to give their consent to the designation by them of the route of the road to be built before making the route known to the Board, Mr. Seery moved that the resolutions be laid over. The Commissioners showMd first locate the route before the Board took action. He had heard that it was likely the road would be put on Third avenue. On behalf of his constituents who resided on that portion of the avo- nue in his district he protested against the route bide fixed there until the property holders had been hear on the subject. Mr, Purroy said he agreed in some respects with his colleague. He would prefer that the ronte should bo first fixed; but he ought to bear in mind that he was one of the Common Counc! that represented the entire city, not merely a single district, The time was drawing near when the Commissioners’ powers would be at an end, and some action ought to be taken on the resolutions, ‘The great ts tpt of the citizens wanted rapid transit, The Corporation Counsel had given his opinion on the resolutions, and all doubts as to their possible effect ought to be dispelled. If the law allowed it he would vote in favor of @ rapid transit road even on Fifth aye- nue rather than have none at all. Mr, Blessing said that no act of the Aldermen could contribute to the defeat of rapid transit if the Com- missioners only do their duty and fix the route before asking the Board to give them carte blanche in the mat- ter, It was idle for them to try and shift the responsi- bility on the Board that rightfully they alone should bear, If they were afraid to come out ina manly way that was their business, and the people would know where to put the blame, if blame for anything relating to the subject had to be attached to any one, Mr. Gross was of the opinion that the Commissioners on; ht frat to indicate what route the road was to take, 4 then come to the Board for its consent, Still he believed that something ought to be done with the gen- eral order, and pot allow jt to remain unact upon any fonget. oe should 4 no Wore super een ‘The people meant to have rapid transit, and the Board should heed their wishes. Mr. Purroy said that the non-action of the Board had given cause for scandal that was not justified. Mr. Blessing said that the Board ought to know be- forehand where the route of the road was to be, so that property holders could have a say about it before it was 00 late. What could he say to his constituents if he voted for the resolutions and the Commissioners should go to work and build a road that would be objectionable to property holders in his district, that would depre- ciate property and be a general nuisance. He for ono would not vote for the resolutions so long as the Com- missioners refused to tell the Board where they were to locate the route of the road. ‘Mr. McCarthy was heartily In favor of rapid transit, but he was not prepared to vote on the resolutions He would greatly prefer that his constituents knew where the route was to be, and he doubted whether the Board could legally, rightfully and with justice adopt the reso- lutions before the route was known. He asked to be excused from voting. if the See. however, were fairly amended, as he understood Mr. Purroy intended to amend them, 80 as to relieve them from the doubtful character they had in the eyes of some of the members, he was ready to vote for them—not otherwise, Mr. Strack did not believe in centralizing the power of twenty-two persons, elected by the people, in the hands of two or three Commissioners, appointed to oftice, if the twenty-two were to be held responsible for the exercise of the powers of the two or three, He be- lieved the Commissioners should designate the route beforehand. Mr Seery’s motion to lay the resolutions over was then carried, Mr. Reilly remarked that he represented the Sixth Senatorial district, and before voting for the resolutions he desired to understand fully the sentiments of his constituents on the subject. He moved that the reso- lutions be made a special order for Monday. Mr. Blessing said that if the Commissioners did not establish the route by the 8th of the month the whole thing would fall to the ground, Mr. Reilly's motiorf was put and carried, Mr. Purroy, after some wordy sparring to get his amendment before the Board, offered an amendment to the resolutions as follows:—‘Provided that nothing herein contained be construed to prevent the necessity of the consent of t “ormmon Council being obtaiped after the route shall fixed by the Commissioners of Rapid Transit.” Mr. Seery said that as that amendment was really an attempt to amend a State law the Corporation Counsel’s opinion had better be obtained upon it Mr. Purroy denied that it was an amendment to a State law. It was simply a provision that the route should be first approved by the Common Council before being decided upon definitely by the Commissioners. Mr. Blessing taid that section 4of the Rapid Transit law expressly provided that the route must first be fixed by the Commissioners before the local authorities give their consent, Mr. Seery moved that the resolutions as amended bo referred to the Corporation Counsel, he to send in his opinion of them on Monday, This motion was lost, the vote standing 9 yeas to 10 nays, Mr. Purroy’s amendment was then put and defeated as follows:—Yeas, President Lewis, Cole, Gilon, Gross, Howland, McCarthy, Purroy, Simonson—& Nays, Bloss- ing, Deane, Lysaght, Morris, Power, Reilly, Robinson, Seery, Shandiey, Southworth, Strack—1L. Mr.’ Blessing’ moved to ‘make the resolations a special order for Monday, This too was lost by a vote of 10t010. The origina, resolutions were then called up to be voted upon, Mr, Gilon said in his opinion that every vote cast Against them would be a vote against rapid transit, Mr. Howland said he would bave liked to have seen Mr. Purroy’s amendment adopted. If the resolutions were defeated to-day and should be defeated next Monday again then the whole question of rapid travsit would fall to the ground He did not believe any route could pass the Board, as property holders would come in with their influence and defeat it. If defeated on Monday, when the powers of the Commissioners would cease on Wednesday, nothing under the Rapid Transit act could be done till the meot- ing of the next Legislature, The vote was finally taken on the resolutions, and they were defeated by the fol- lowing yote:—Yeas, President Lewis, Cole, Gilon, Gross, Howland, Morris, Purroy, Simonson—8& Nays, Blessing, Deane, Guntzer, Lysaght, Power, Reilly, Robinson, Seery, Shandiey, Southworth, Sttack—11. Mr. McCarthy was excused from voting for the reasons stated by him during the debate, On motion of Mr, Simonson the yote was reconsid- ed, Whereupon Mr. Purroy moved tw make them the special order for Monday. “There you go!” exclaimed Mr. Reilly; ‘‘after all this long debate you have come right down to the thing I wanted from the start,” Mr, Strack moved to amend the motion that the reso- lotions be taken off the goneral order list, and that bor be sent back to the Rapid Transit Commissioners, witl @ request to send in to the Board, on Monday, the route they intended the rapid transit road to take. After that ortion of the amendment was withdrawn by Mr. track, providing that tne resolutions be taken from the general order list, Mr. Purroy accepted the rest of the amendment, that the Commissioners be requested to send in the route on Monday, and on being put to a vote it was carried, The Croton main ordinance was called up by Mr. Cole, and ail the democrats voted for it and all the repdblicang against it, This is the Ufvh time the republicans have olewjod the ordinance a TRIPLE SHEET, CITY DEPARTMENTS, —-—_—_— DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS, ‘The Commissioners of Docks—Messra, Wales, Wester- yelt and Dimock—now propose to infuse new life into the important duties reposed tn them as to improving and constructing our docks. It is a duty which must commend itself to their earnest care and attention. The department has now been about five years tm existence, having been organized in 1870. In that year a meeting of prominent merchants was held, with Mr. A. A. Low for President, when the whole subject of improving our dock system was discussed. Meetings were also held at the Mer- chants’ Exchange in this city. Under the act of the Legislature creating a dock department Messrs. Jolin . Agnew, Wilson G. Hunt, William Wood, Richard M. Henry and Greenville Kane took office on May 1, 1870. Then came the appointment of General McClellan as Chief Engineer, Under his directions a general plan fora system of bulkheads and piers along the water front was prepared, extending from the foot of Grand street on the East River to the foot of Sixtieth strect on the North River. This plan, as the Jaw required, was adopted by the Dock Commissioner® and the Sinking Fund According to statistics and statements furnished by an official it appears that the work of the first commis- sion was energetically attended to as far as pos- siblo under the surrounding circumstances, The work was all before them. They had to begin at the beginning and tread cautiously an unknown path, The law furnished general directions as to what the commission were to do, but the manner of doing it was left entirely to their own discretion. Some allowance must, therefore, be made for the slow progress of the great undertaking between May 1, 1870, and May 1, 1872 In these three years the Commis- sioners caused all the necessary surveys to be made for the entire system of docks around the city of New York. They negotiated with private holders for the necessary lands to carry on the works. They com- menced pier No, 1 and built three arches of it. They built @ landing piaco for rowboais at the Battery and built a number of new wooden piers and rebuilt and repaired alot of old ones. They further leased a number of piers to private firms and collected rents and wharfage thereon, all of which works and operations are recounted in the annual reports furnished to the city Executive, In that time— from May, 1870, to May, 1873—the Commissioners drew from the Department of Finance, on account of the Dock Department, the sum of $2,160,730 88. Of this amount $504,005 86 was expended during the year ending April 30, 1871, for various veer $1,000,000 for the year ending April 80, 1872, and $550,780 88’ for the year ending April 30, 1873, "The amount actually apent on building piers and rebuilding and repairing old ones in the year 1871-2 was $307,349 37, which lefta balance of over $692,000 for pier No, 1 for surveying, water front and salaries and dredging and purchase of machinery. The engineer reported the amount of dredging at 256,284 2-10 cuble yards. After 1873 a change took place in the commission, which at one time consisted of Messrs, Gardiner, Budd and Westervelt. Then came the death of Mr. Gardiner and the expiration of the term of Mr. Budd. Mr. Wales was appointed Md Mayor Wickham in place of the former and Mr. Dimock of the latter. The Comptroller reports the issue of dock bonds, bearing six and seven er cent interest, to the amount of $2,694,500, up to mber 31, 1878, and up to March 31, 1874, $2, $4,000, and to December 31, sia, $4,075,000.’ About $600,000 now remains to the credit of the department, The work commenced by their predecessors is now being prosecuted as speedily as possible 1h Gere oyeord ers Wales, Dimock and Westervelt, Although an out- cry was raised at the time of the selection of a repub- lican, Mr, Salem H. Wales, for the position of President of the commission, it is to be heped that politics will have nothing to do with the carrying out of a plan 80 vital to the commerce of New York. Mayor Wickham can do no better work than to assist, by all the means us his power, this commission in the discharge of its uty. COMMISSIONERS OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. Under an ordinance of the Common Council the Com- missioners of Charities and Correction are compelled to farnish a report in relation to the burial of strangers or unknown persons who may die in any of the public in- stitutions of the city of New York. In accordance with this rule they make the following announcements as to persons who have recently died: At Lunatic Asylum, Blackwell's Island, Catharine Caldwell, aged forty years, This patient was transferred from the Workhouse August 16, 1875. Nothing known of her friends or relatives. No effects found on her per- son, At New York City Asylam for Insane, Andrew Mar- tin, aged thirty-eight Fears, five fect six’ inches, high; dark hair and eyes. This ‘patient was transferred from the old Lunatic Asylum, Blackwell’s Island, December 18, 1871, und had on corporation clothing. There has been no person to visit him, nor could any information be obtained of his friends or relatives, his person, At Charity Hospit aged forty yea: February 5, 1871 relatives, Blackwell's Island, Ann Doran. five feet five inches high; admitte Nothing known of her friends or MUNICIPAL NOTES. The Corporation Counsel has decided that hereafter the fees that have heretofore gone into the pockets of the attorneys for the collection of arrears of personal taxes shall be paid directly into the City Treasury. ‘The Mayor was busily engaged signing the firemen’s warrants for August, yesterday, They will be com- pleted to-day, and possibly the men may get their checks this afternoon in time to have them cashed. The anti-Custom House republicans will hold their wimaries on Monday evening to elect delegates to the ino hg Convention. The leading democrats of the Second Assembly dis- trict say that there is no truth in the report that they are to send a Tammany delegation to Syracuse in op- position to the Wigwam chiefs; that on the contrary the Convention chosen at the primaries are all solid Tammany men, FLATBUSH HOSPITAL ABUSES. The Board of Commissioners of Charities will reopen the examination of the charges mado by Mrs. Maria Pennington against the management and treatment of patients in the Kings County Hospital. The com- plainant, who is an ex-patient of the institution, was subpeenaed to attend the investigation, but sho failed to comply, The evidence taken did not tain the charges, Now that the case has closed she reiterates the accusations of abuse made heretofore and asserts that the notice to appear before the Board of Commis- sioners was not sent to her in proper time, Hence it is that the Commissioners have determined upon vindi- cating themselves from all imputation of a desire to choke off the complaint by giving Mrs, Pennington another chance, THE PENITENTIARY MURDER. Detectives Ferris and O’Brien, of the Central Office, yesterday arrested Thomas Reilly, a keeper in the Peni- tentiary on Blackwoll’s Island, on a warrant {ssued by Coroner Croker. It is alleged that Reilly {s implicated in the death of the prisoner Connolly. Reilly was com- mitted in default of $2,000 to the Tombs by Coroner Croker, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. MARRIED.
