He submitted a list of losses incurred on account of wrecks at Whale Rock within the past few years amounting to $50,000, and said he did not suppose a lighthouse could be erected there, but he would be pleased if an appropria- tion should be made for the erection of a monument and spindle, Referred to the Committee on Commerce. THE ADMISSION OF COLORADO. Mr. Hrrencock, (rep.) of Neb., from the Committee on Territories, reported, without amendment, the House bill to amend the act of March 3, 1876, to enable the people of Colorado to form a constitution and State government and for the admission of the said State into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, and asked for its immediate consideration. ‘i Mr. Morrixt, (rep.) of Me., objected and said he de- sired to have it go over that he might examine it, So ordered. THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS OF 1812. Mr. Wiraxrs, (dem.) of Va., called up the Senate bill toamend the act of February 14, 1871, granting pen- sions to certain soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812 and the widows of deceased soldiers, and to restore to the pension rolls those persons whose names were stricken therefrom in consequence of disloyalty, The report of the Commitice on Pensions was read, showing that 1 would pot require more than $20,000 anuually to pay such pensions, Mr, SuERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, said it seemed to him that the second section of the bill, which repealed ail acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act, would ‘open the door to all classes of persons who served in mames were on the roll when the act of 1862 was passed, which authorized the Secretary of the Interior to strike from the pension‘rolls persons engaged in the rebellion. Mr. Wirgxs said it was intended that the bill should Testore to the pension roll only the names of those per- sons stricken thereirom by the act of 1862 Pending the discussion the morning hour expired and the bill was Jaid aside, THE THRBE-SIXTY-FIVE DISTRICT BONDS, The Senate then resumed the consideration of the un- finished business, being the motion of Mr. Wadleigh to reeonsider the vote by which the report of the Com- mitteo of Conference on the joint resolution to pay the interest on the 3.65 District of Columbia bonds was passed. the pending question being on the motion of r.

He sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a despatch to the effect that it had been telegraphed abroad thet the Attorney Genera) was in possession of sufficient evl- dence to ask for the indictinent of Collector Casey and Senator West for complicity in the New Orleans whiskey fragds. Mr. West said upon reading the paragraph he ad- dressed a communication to the Attorney General gall- ing attention to the paragraph, and inquiring if such statement was authorized by him and if he had such evidence. He gent to-the Clerk’ nd bad read Lis letter to the Attorney General reply of the latter, which was to the effect that there was not one word of truth inthereport.. He had never heard a word about ft until the note from the Senator (Mr. West). Mr. West, in conclusion, said the malice which dictated all these curreptattacks against him were be- his contempt. THR INDIAN RESERVATIONS. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill conferring exclusive jurisdiction over Indian reser- yatious upon the United States courts, and lor the puan- ishment of crimes committed 4 aod against Indians, the pending question veing on the amendment of Mr. Windom, providing that the provisions of this act s! ‘nut apply to that part of the Sioux reservation ly: between the North and South forks of the Cheyenne River and east of the east line of Wyoming Territory. ‘After extended debate the amendment of Mr. Win- dom was rejected. Mr, Winpom moved that the bill be referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs, He said it should have been considerea by that committee in the first coat and not by the Judiciary Committee, as the bill relate to the Indians and no question of law was involved in at He said there were many things in the bill which demanded its reference to the Committee on Indian Affairs, If it should not be so referred he had several amendments to offer wid would ask to be heard in sup- port of them. Mr. ALLIsoN gave notice that, as soon as the pending Dill was di of, he would ask the Senate to con- sider the Military Academy Appropriation bill, After some further discussion the motion of Mr. Windom to refer the vill to the Commitiee on Indian Affairs was to—yeas 41, 0 13.

He alluded to the tact that the Post Office build- ing at New York had cost between $8,000,000 and $9,000, 000, terry saga estimates had been only }2,000, 000 or $3, | 4 We barccaseee remarked that the fact of Congress being practically unable to limit the expenditares on these public buildings was the very base of his argu- ment in regard to this Memphis building. Mr. Concer—And that is what I say is the baseness of your argument. (Laughter.) It comes with an ill grace trom the representative of a city that has been urging Congress, year after year, to make appropria- tions jor vast palaces, costing millions and maillions, to 9 the little $100,000 appropriations that are asked for in the cities of the West andSouth. But that is no new thing. The principal opposition to appro- riations for government buildi in the South and West has coms as « general thing frem those who have demanded the largest gh per for palatial struc- tures in their own midst Ido not wonder at the gen- tleman from New York objecting to government build- ings in the valley of the Mississippi and on the Mississippi River. Through the lib- erality of Congress and through the plans and devices of engineering genius the day is speedily approaching when the largest ocean vessels will enter the Mississippi and deliver freight at the in- land cittes bordering that great artery, instead of at the crowded port of New York, Then New Orleans will need larger public buildings; then Vicksburg and Memphis and St. Louis and the great cities that sleep on the borders of that majestic stream will demand government buildings appropriate to the vast business which the opening of that river will bring to the em- pire valley of the Mississippi. It ts in view of such probabilities, of such necessary resuits {rom the open- ing of the valley of the Mississippi, that we propose to have buiidings that are necessary now, but that will be of vastly greater importanco in the near future. Mr. HoLaAay, of Indiana, said he was glad that lis Dill had come before the House at xo early a day, in order that the views of the House might be ascer- tained as to how far the old policy of extravagance in regard to public buildings should be perpetuated. He admonished gentlemen that the speeches of the gentle- men from Pennsylvania and Michigan (Messrs, Kelley and Conger) were of the order of speeches which the House had heard for a great many years and the fruits ot which had been seen in the swelling of the current ordinary expenditures of the government up to $180,000,000.a year, These were the kind of speeches— Wild of thought £ of wing ‘As Eden’s garden's bird— that had loaded down the government for a number of years and which bad resulted in that wild extravagance which the people were now trying to curb somewhat. He argued that an appropriation of $400,000 economi- cally expended, and not expended in mere embellish- ments, would build a solid structure adapted to all the purposes which the city ot Memphis would require lor a qu ror half a century, Mr. Youna, of Tennessee, remarked that there was no difference of opinion between himself and the gen- tleman from Indiana on the question of economy, neither was there any difference of opinion asto the necessity and propriety of erecting the proposed build- ing at Memphis, The only question was what ought that building to cost? He had laid before the House the testimony of the Secretary of the Treasary and of the Supervising Arebitect, and he was entirely willing to rest on their opinion rather than on that of the gentle- man from New York (Mr. Chittenden). Mr. Hotman, in reference to a remarkof Mr, Kel- ley, said that theSouth was not neglected in the matter of public buildings, and called attention to the fact that within the last ears public buildings had been erected at Knoxville and Nashville costing from $300,000 to $400,000 each, Mr. Kuuury—The unfinished Custom House in Charleston, S. C., bas cost from $5,000,000 ‘to $7,000,000,’ That is what used to be done in the old economical times. Discussion being closed, the House proceeded to vote on the pending amendments. The amendment offered by Mr. Wells, of. Missouri, limiting the amount to $500,000, was rejected, The amendment offered by Mr. Houmay, of Indiana, limiting the amount to $400,000, was agreed to—yeas 181, nays 106. THE LATE MR, STARKWRATHER. Without proceeding furtber in the bill, the recent death of Mr. Starkweather, of Connecticut, was an- nounced by bis colleague, Mr. Puree, and speeches were made in eulogy of the deceased by Messrs, Phel| Stevenson of ano Hale of Maine and Garfield of Ohio, after whick resolutions of condolence and re- spect were adopted aod the House adjourned.

Alexan- der, M. H. Sanford, J. A. Grinstead, D. Swigert, Frank Harper, H. P. McGrath, R. Penistan and others, and had a look at the yearlings, particularly those that will be brought under the hammer the coming summer, as well as to ascertain, if possible, which of the racers, if any, would cross the Alleghanies in the spring to try conclusions with the Eastern horses for the great prizes that are to be given by the various associations during the coming campaign. At Mr, Alexander’s estate there are fifty-nine year- ling colts and fillies, consisting of the following:— YBARLING FOALS BY LEXINGTON. Verona bas a chestnut colt, Lula Horton a brown colt, imported Inverness a bay colt, Canary Bird a chestnut colt (another Harry Bassett), Magenta a bay colt, Kagless a gray filly, Miss Cartor a brown Milly, Miriam a chestnut filly, imported Invercauld a brown filly. 3 POALS BY AUSTRALIAN, Mazurka hasa bay colt, Aerolite a chestnut colt, Queen Victoria a chestnut colt, Hester a bay colt, Heiress a bay filly, Zephyr a bay filly, Lerna a brown filly, Dolly Carter a chestnut filly, Geneva a chestnut filly and Bonita a brown filly.

The above colts and fillies are as fine a lot as the get of any horse at Woud- burn, They have plenty of bone for their size, and by the Ist of June will compare fayorably with any young- stersin Kentucky. We looked over them closely, as great fears have been expressed that Glen Athol’s get would be deficient in their forelegs; but, inheriting strong limbs from their dams, and with the aid of lime- stone water, they have a great share of bone all over, Looking over the records at Woodburn it was found that Asteroid during the six years that he has been at the stud has sired 56 colts and fillies for Mr. Alex- ander. Ingl870 there were 8 colts and2 fillies; 1871, 6 colts and 6 Aillies; 1872, 1 colt and 7 fillies; 1873, 3 colts | and 1 filly; 1874, 6 colts and 5 fillies, aud in’ 1875, 3 | colts and § fillies, Besides the above he sired a few for outside parties, MR. SANFORD’S YRARLINGS. The North Elkhorn farm, the breeding establish- ment of M. H. Sanford, is situated on the Marysville pike, six miles from Lexington. At this place Mr. Santord bas thirty-seven yearlings, the get of his fantous stallions Baywood, Glenelg and Virgil, besides | others by Lever (a son of Lexington), Waverley, War | Dance, John Morgan and Alarm, They are all out of mares belonging w Mr. Sanford, more than half of them being by Lexwgton. They are as follows:— FOALS BY BAYWOOD, ‘ Crowlet has a gray colt, Lax a bay colt, Miss Music a chestnut colt, Lazy a bay colt, Laxity a brown or bay colt, imported Elixir a bay filly, Earring « chestnut fily, Katinka a bey filly, Lag a gray illly and Goneriia bay ‘lly.

VOAL BY WAVERLEY. Woodford I has a bay colt + 4 BY JOHY MORGAN, Annie Bush has a brown colt, FOAL BY ALARM, Alala has a chestnat filly. POAL BY WAR DANCE, Helen Douglas has a chestnut begs The above colts and fillies are duely grown, and by the beginning of June will be in splendid condition, The stallions at this establishment are simply grand. Glen is a magnificent horse, while Monarchist, Kin Lear, Virgil and Baywood are magnificent specimens o! thorougbred stallions, THR WALNUT STUD PARM haga fine lot of yearlings by the stallions belonging to Mr. J. A. Grinstead, the proprietor of this famous | breeding establishment, consisting of Waverley, by Australian, dam imp. Cicely Jobson, by Weatherbtt, and Gilroy, by Lexington, dam Magnolia, by Glencoe. The yearlings of these two stallions are the most forward | of any in Kentucky, as they have been less exposed than any others during the past autumn and winter. WO stallions, m, en well, Mr. Grinstead’s racehorses are in good order, and that | gentieman believes that he has some winners among them, He said that he would try them all well, and if he found that they were capable of packing the weights adopted by the Eastern associations he would, no doubt, send Some on to compete for the prizes, but he would run with Western weights first and be sure he had weight carriers before sending his horses over the mountains. This seems to be the sentiment of the majority of racing men in the Southwe&t, They intend to take no risk with the heavy weights. They will, nevertheless, visit Baltimore and Philadelphia, and run their horses at these places in all the stakes and purses offered. THE BEST RACE HORSES IN THE WEST, Frank Harper’s Ten Broeck, by Phaeton, dam Lulu Holton, is considered by the racing men in Kentucky the best four-year-old in America; while D. Swigert’s King Alphonso, by Phaeton, dam ‘Capitola, is looked upon as nearly his equal. His owner, however, thinks him full as good, if not a better horse. Then H. P. Mc- Grath has Aristides, and claims the championship for him. They will ali run in Tennessee and Kentucky in the month of May, and by the time they get through their engagements at Nashville, Lexington and Louisville the nui will be likely to know very nearly which is bes and what the Eagtern horses will have to meet shoul the owners of the others conclude to carry the lately adopted weights, Of the three-year-olds in Kentucky, T. J. Nichol's bay geiding Vagrant seems to be the first choice, whi Williams & Owings think they bave a wonder in Creed- moor. Swigert also seems confident in taking somo of the prizes with Berlin and Madrid, both fine looking | colts, and bis Ceylon will be a prominent candidate for | the Travers Stakes at Saratoga. But it will be soon enough to guess at winners when training begins, DWYER AND ROOKE. These men again met at the Clipper office yesterday | afternoon, with the view to arrange the proposed glove match, tor which Rooke originally issued a challenge. It will be remembered they came together for the first time on Monday last, when Rooke wanted to make the match for $500, the contest to take place jn this city, not later than a week from signing thearticles, Dwyer, | on the other hand, desired to the stakes to $1,000 | a side, six weeks to prepare and toss for the city in which to spar, both agreeing that neither man | should have more than twonty-five friends pres- | ent beside the seconds, referee and neces- | sary attendants, Rooke | finally consented to | the six weeks’ time, when Johnny said that $500 aside would satisfy him, bat he insisted that we piace should be tossed’ for, to which Georgo finally agreed. This was done and Dwyer won, bat he deciined to name the city in which the affair should be decided until before tn ‘ent. Rooke did not like this, ual ton days’ notice applied only Ww the exact place which Dwyer might, ix upon and not the city, but Johnny diifered with him, and so they separated until yesterday. At this time Rooke Bull held to his proposition about immediately naming the city, but Dwyer — refused, under the | right given bim by the rales ‘The former | then withdrew the $50 he up. He afterward desired to make @ new match, the conditions being $500 a side, aud to spar in New York within one week. Dwyer declined to entertain this, claimsng that he won the toss fairly, and that Rooke having made a verbal ment regarding the six weeks’ time he thoughtit only just’ that the fact should not be forgotten, and that it ought to be considered binding. Rooke looked upon it differently, however, and they separated he out coming to terms. Dwyer, who had $200 up, did not withdraw {t, hoping that Rooke and his frienas may think better of the affair and consent to the ar. rangement of the details.

VISIT TO EUROPE OF THE CANADIAN LACROSSE PLAYERS. Mowrreat, Feb, 21, 1876, Knowing the interest you take in all amateur sport- ing and athletic affairs I send you the following, which 1 believe will interest some of your many readers:— Early in May the long talked of visit to Europe of the crack teams of Gentlemen Amateur and Profes- sional Indian Lacrosse Players will take place, The former is composed of twelve players of the Montreal Lacrosse Club, organized in 1855, and the latter of twelve of the famous Iroquois Indians, residing at Caugbnawaga, nine miles west from Montreal The old nessing this wild and beautiful deld game, full of indi- vidual and collective feats of strength, agility and speed. The twenty-four players each carries a woven lacrosse stick, having their innings at the same time. The match consists of three out of five games and averages half an hour each game, Asan instance of tho national character this visit will assume, His Excellency Lord Dufferin, Governor General of Canada, has given the team a public letter oth preciation ol the game and his interest in the success of the enterprise, as follows : Mowreat, Feb. 2, 1876, Sin—I have the honor, by desire of His “Excellency the Ear! of Dufferin, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th ult., and in reply to inform you that His Excellency is much pleased to hear there is so good % chance of your ac- ecomplishing the projected visit to Europe this spring of the eutlemen and professional (fudian) Lacrosse players. His xeellency is very glad to think that a came which is of In- dian orizin, and one so peculiarly characteristic of Canada, is to be played. as propose, in different ports of the United Kingdom xeelieucy wishes every success for the object you Lave in view, &e. 1 have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, E. GP. LITTLETON, Governor Geueral’s Secretary. The Thames Hare and Hound and Lacrosse Club, one of the leading amateur sporting clubs of London, has been in correspondence with the Canadiays, and bas been iwstrumental in inducing them to visit Europe, ‘The Caledonian Lacrosse Club, of Glasgow, another prominent club, has invited them to play two games there, having raised a gurantee tund. The Polo Club of London last year extended them a welcome, and many prominent gentlemen who formerly served with Her Majesty’s army in Canada have, and many more will, no doubt, give this plucky enterprise as hearty & reception as that accorded to the rifle team and Harvard crew. The reception given the English cricke the Tyne crew and others in Canada will no doubt be reciprocated in this instance; not only the | many Canadians living in England, but all English, | Scotch and Irish men as well, will no doubt feel an in- | terest in seeing the Canadian and Indian visitors The auspices under which the enterprise has been brought— free from professional contact, and relying alone upon the merits of the game, and the favor shown by the public to all fine field sport, will commend them to favor and a warm and hearty welcome, The “pale faces’? con- sist of a picked team of gentlemen amateurs, every ono ; of whom has distinguished himself in snow shoe or foot running, gymnastics, boating or skating, &c., and they havea number gf gold medals, won in various contests, They are winners of the celebrated champion ‘“Clax- ton flags,” played for during three yeurs against all comers without losing a match. These beautiful goal ik flags are very handsomely embroidered and cost some $260, and were presented by one of tho leading merchants of this city, Mr. T. James Claxton, The Indians are a picked twelve, with a chief, from the celebrated Iroquois tribe, the only tribe which proved faithful to British interests in Canada during the gontest with France. One interesting fact in this connection is worth mentioning. When the garrison at Fort Michilmackinac, consisting of detachments of Her Majesty’s Fifty-fifth and Eighueth regiments, were massacred by the indians under the great Pontiac, the Iroquois, of whom the lacrosse players are the descend- ants, was the only tribe that ‘kicked the belt of wam- pum” and refused to join in the slaughter. The celo- brated ten mile runner, Keronawawa, is one of the picked twelve. ‘The ‘‘redskins’’ will be dressed and painted in original costume, with beaded and bair orna- ments, and will present a strange contrast to the severe simplicity of the ‘‘pale face” uniform. Altogether this enterprise promises to be one of the great events in sporting circles next season. INTERNATIONAL BILLIARD MATCH.

Mr. Taylor, a painter, yesterday went upon the roof of No. 103 Ryerson street, Brooklyn, to repair it, Looking over upon the roof of Mrs. vr. Jones’ house adjoining he was horrified to sec a human skele~ ton. He ran down from the roof, and went to Police Headquarters to rt what be had seen, Officers were sent to investigate the matter, and they learned that Mra. Jones bad @ son who is a medical student, and that this young man having dissected a body placed the bones on the roof asthe most outof the way place he could find, Charles Jones, the young medical student, of No. 201 Ryerson street, at which place the remains of a female were found apon the roof, was arrested last evening and held until an investigation could be made INCENDIARY FIRE IN BROOKLYN. A fire occurred on Wednesday night in an anfur- nished three story frame building, on Magnolia street, between Central and Evergreen avenues, The struc- ture, which was unoccupied, was totally destroyed, in- volving a loss of $1,600, The property, which was owned by William Doyle, was insured in the New York Insurance Company for $1,500, Fire. Marshal Keady, who has investigated the origin of the fire, is satisfied that it is a clear cause of arson, and several arrests are contemplated, ‘BROOKLYN GAs. Yesterday the Commissioners of the Board of City Works of Brooklyn were visited by representatives of the East New York Gas Light Company, who ex- pressed their desire to reduce the price of the gas which the comnny, furnishes togthe engine bonuses and the Truant Home twenty-five per cent. They will cutdown their bill from $4to $3 per thousand feet, The Commissioners tnformed the company’s officials that they would consider the terms of reduction offered, and notily them of the result, LONG ISLAND RAILROAD CHANGES. It has already been announced to be the purpose of the Messrs. Poppenhusen & Co., proprietors of the consolidated railroads of Long Island, to shift the trains of the Long Island road, between Jamaica and Winfeld, to the tracks of the Southern road, and to take up the track of the former over that section, En- gincers are at present making surveys at Jamaica, pre- paratory to effecting this change. It ts understood, iso, that the use of steam on the streets of Williams- burg will cease on Monday mext, and that on and after that date, while Brooklyn passengers will still be con- voyed to Bushwicl present depot will still be maintained, the trairs generally on the Southern, as well as the Long Island road, will be run to Hunter’ Point, branching off trom the present Southern road the function near Fresh Pond, aud resuming the old Long Isiand track at Winfeld, LIQUOR DEALERS ON TRIAL. The adjourned term of the City Court of Long Island City, Judge Pearse presiding, convened yesteraay at the Court House at Dutch Kilis, The liquor dealers under {ndictmont—about thirty in gaumber—were ar. raigned, when they withdrew the plea of guilty and leaded not guilty, after which @ jury was called and Pn esos proteated with. It appears thats umber of persons indicted hold licenses issued by a previous Board of Excise and for which they paid the requisite fees, and it is doubtful whether they can be convieted, Unaer the new law the penalty upon conviction is $100 fine and three months’ imprisonment, These cases will doubtless occupy the entire term.

Mr. Abbett’s other bill relates to Hudson county, making it lawful for the mortgagor and mortgagee to agree about the payment of the mortgage tax. . The bill appropriating $8,000 annually for five years for the completion of the geological survey of the State was passed, In the House several petitions wero presented in favor of the Five County act and several remon- strances against it HILLS INTRODUCED, By Mr. Gricas—Fixing the rate of interest at five per ceni per annum throughout the State, providing, how- ever, that it shull be lawful to agree to discount at any rate not greater than six percent, This bill does not affect existing contracts or debts, By Mr, Hatsey—Authorizing John Hood, of Camden, | to compile and publish an index of all the public and Private laws of the State, including those passed by the Colonial government, to'be arranged and printed in tho same manner as the general index of New York, pre- pared by T.

Orrawa, Feb. 24, 1876. In the Senate yesterday, in reference to the cable companies, Mr. Koulbach moved for the correspond- ence between the government and the Direct Cable and Anglo-American companies since October, 1873. He complained that the Direct Cable Company, which had obtained a Dill last session under the pretence of put- ting an end to monopoly and reducing the telegraph rates had now jomed the Anglo-American Company to keep up the rates, and therefore the act of Just session had mado a gigantic monopoly, He hoped it would be shown that no member of the government had any in- terest in the Direct Cable Company. Mr. Scott said that no member of the government had any concern in the Direct Cable Company. Ho knew nothing of any amalgamation or arrangements about tariffs, Mr, Miller would feel vory indignant at any amalga- mation as to the tariffs of these companies, but it was no fault of Parliament, which merely affirmed a gen- eral principle of great importance to the world at large. Mr. Dickey said that be had seen in the London newspapers that there was to be a working arrange- ment between the two companies. While no good had been dono in cheapening telegraphy the credit of the country bad been injured by the legislation. Mr. Bourinot said that an attempt was made by the Anglo-American Company to bay the control of the Direct Company with a view of making working ar- rangements, but this was at once discouraged by the directors of the Direct line, but it was certain that messages could not be sent for less than three shillings @ word. Mr. Penny said the act of last seesion was not passed for the sake of the Direct Company, whose name was not mentioned in the act, but forthe suke of future companies, of which that was only one; nor was tt in- tended directly to procure cheap telegraphy, but only to destroy monopoly and to give an opportuaity which does not exist for competition, which usually produces cheapness. As to increasing the monopoly, nothing of the kind had taken place, The Direct Cable Company was in existence before the act, and had at present no advant: from the act; therefore it is just where it was, and at liberty to make any arrangement it pleased with other companies, The government might regret any such arrangement, but bad nothing to do with it. After some further discussion the motion was car- nied, and the House then adjourned. “THE GARDENERS PRETTY DAUGH- TER.” Trewron, Feb. 24, 1876, In the Noice-Brown breach of protmise of marriage case, which was argued on demurrer last term of Court, the Supreme Court to-aay sustained tho de- murrer, thus throwing the case out of court. The ac- tion was brought by Alice Noice, known as the “gar- dener’s pretty daughter,” of Princeton, to recover 60,000 damages from ‘Albert Brown, @ resident of Prboston, for alleged breach of promise of marriage, The defendant was married at the time the alleged promise was made, and on this ground the Court sus- tained the demurrer. The story of the love making covered two continents. The developments in the ro- mance have been fully published in the Hewat, DESPERATE COTTON THIEVES. New Onteans, Feb, 24, 1876, Last night a gang of cotton thieves attempted to plunder the cargo of the ship Indiana, now loading at post 52, First distric, They entered the hold of the ship with empty sacks and an’ tron tie cotter, They had opened five bales of cotton and removed some twenty sacks to the leveo, when & sailor, named Syd- ney Tarbox, awoke and gave an rm. The thieves fired and killed Tarbox instantly, and then escaped, fir- ing several shots at the vessel to deter pursuit.’ No police were present and there was no arrest. Tarbox was a native of Batn, Me, and twenty-four years old, THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH, BOSTON. Bostox, Mass, Feb. 24, 1876. Judge Colt, to whom the old South church case was referred by the Supreme Court, to hear the evidence submitted, has rendered his deciston, ruling that the society may sell the old Church property and invest Ube proceeds in the new church. This, it is understood, ends the case unless the minority should appeal to the full Bench for decision upon the evidence. A MACHINE SHOP DESTROYED. About two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke ont ‘mn the machine shup of Messrs. Hawkins & Dodge, on 4 Essex Railroad avenue, in Newark, N. J. ding and contents were completly * troyed, cauning « loss of about $20,000. 5 ee THE STATE CAPITAL Debate on the Brooklyn Commissionerships. Aiming at Reducing Salaries and Cut- ting Off Useless Offices. THE BILL ORDERED TO A THIRD READING. A Commotion About Mayor Wick- ham’s Salary. Aunany, Feb, 25, 1876, The resolution was not without its point which was Offered in the House to-day, providing that hereafter no member should be allowed to speak on the same question over nine times, except he should happen to be a member from Kings county. The fact is the Brooklyn members have done more talking thus far in the session than all the other mombers put together, They are perpetually fighting among themselves; that ia the four republicans and the five democrats, whenever a Kings county bill is in com- | mittee of the whole seem to take it for granted that the entire session of the day is theirs by pre-eminent right, When the bill relative to the appointment of twelve Charity Commissioners for Kings county made its first appearance in committee of the whole two entire hours were spent in {ts consideration, the members from Kings county being the only members who took an active part in the debate, with one exception, Mr, Weiant, of Rockland, appears to consider it nia bounden duty to get into every debate, good, bad and indifferent, no matter what the merits or demerits of tho situation or whether or not ho is familiar with the subject at issue, Everybody who knows how Mr, Worth can string out his ‘few re- marks’? by the hour; how Talmage can soar up into the seventh heaven of rhetorical space and remain thero AMONG THR LITTLE STARS until the galleries begin to wonder if he will ever get down at all; how Lyon can mount his high horse and gallop metaphorically up and down every road and byway of his dear country, pointing out as he speeds on the churches that have made they democratic party there what it is, and the pastors who have done so much to promote Congregationalism and paroxysmal policy playing in the republican family; how Bradley can leap in an instant into the very heart of the ould sod and wander up and down her valleys, only to return to Brooklyn afairs with an Irish story to adorn his talo of democratic suffering can readily appreciate the beauty of the scene when the Kings county men de. cide to instruct one another ‘as to their duties, Over four soparate sessions, as wel! as four different audi- ences and four different chairmen, were exhausted over the Charity bill before Worth and his colleagues could get to the end of their tether. ‘To-day they re- newed their tactics, every one of the members taking A HAND iW THE FiGUT over the bill with the enticing title ofan “act to pro- mote ecoufmy in the city of Brooklyn and to reduca the number of officers in said city.” Worth was the champion of the bill, and though ho was occasionally given a helping hand by the genial Ogden, who, like ‘Dr. Pangloss, says what he bas to say very briefly and very boldly, he had to contend single handed with Talmage, Coffey, McGroary, Lyon and Brad. ley. Certainly” Jacob did’ the work mapped out for him exceedingly well. He had no easy contest of it, for he was beset right and left by the democrats. He was occasionally tripped up, but, nothing datnted, }he went right along with his task ag | though Mr. Schroeder, and not Mr. Sheriff Daggett, was seated at his side as suggester in chief, The bill was finally ordered to a third reading. As it now stands the bill reduces every commission to one member, thatis, all the Commissioners \n each de- partment, except the presidents, are legislated out of office, The Mayor, under the bill, is to appoint six | persons as supertutendents of’ parks, and with the President — of Parks is to, be con- sidered the Board of Superintendents of Parks. The Department of Arrears and the office of Registrar of Arrears are to be abolished, and all moneys, &c., pertaining to these departinents must be handed over to the Comptrolicr. The office of Auditor is also done away with, the duties now devolv- ing on that ollicial to be performed by the Comptroller hereatter, APRAID TO BURN THEIR FINGERS, The bill reducing the salaries of the New York officials was again up in Committee of the Whole this afternoon, but there was such a hvely opposition elicited by & motion to make the Mayor’s salary $12,000 (his present salary) Instead of leaving it at $10,000, ‘as the sub-com- mittee of the Committee on Citles had’ reported it, that its friends very prudently had it progressed. It fell to the lot of Mr. Straban to advocate the $12,000 amendment, but Mr. A. J. Campbell's vigorous onslaught upon it had a telling effect upon the country members especially when he asked if the proposed increase was Mr. Wickiam’s re- ward for reducing the laborers’ wages. Mr. Wickham will doubtless have to be content with the same salary as the Comptroller if this bill is pressed to a final vote in both houses. GIVING AWAY REAL ESTATE, | _ The petition presented to-day by Mr. Burleigh, pro- | testing against the sale of certgin lands by the Land | Commission: was signed by nearly three hundred citizens of Washington county, Ii appears that the Commissioners bate sold to private i dividuals several of the _ beautiful on Lake George, thus depriving tor trom the privilege heretofore enjoyed of visiting them. But what makes the action of the Commissioners really reprehensible is that by some jobbery or other they have disposed of some of the islands at ridicu | lonsly low prices. For insiance, they lately gold’ to a private individual ' one of the prettiest islands on the jake, called Harbor Island, which ts fifty acres in extent, for the magnificent sum of $50. Mr. Burieigh is determined to put an end to this peculiar real estate business and will soon intro- duce a bili that will be effective, THR TRAMP MEASURE, ‘The vagrants received another reminder from Mr. Fish this morning im the shape of a bill, somewhat sitnilar to the one he introduced several ks ago, and which compels the tramps to work for their food’ and lodgings. The billisa very long one, but its maim provisions are in effect the same as its predecessor, A POLITICAL BANQUET, There is considerable speculation among the mem- ders to-day concerning a banquet which Salem H. Wales, the President of the Department of Docks, is to give at his residence in New York next, Saturday evening in honor of Speaker Husted, A few of the leading members of both houses of tho Legislature have received invitations, and among the guests 1t is understood will be ex-Governor E. D. Mor- gan, ex-Speaker A. B. Cornell, General Chester Arthur and Congressman Wilham H. Wheeler. The general belief here is thatafter the eatables and drinkables wilthave been done fall justice to there will be a serious conference of the banqueters, as to what is best to be done to harmonize all the conflicting elements in the republican party in the State before the election of delegates to the Syracuse State Convention. In fact, tho banquet 1s looked upon as a mere cover for a formal gathering of the leaders Bat while one of the small talka of the evening will doubtless be confined to the approaching election ofthe delegates, the question ag 10 who will head the State ticket next November, will be one of the most interesting long talks as a move- ment 18 being quietly arranged at _ present so as w have the ticket headed by Cor. nell for Governor and Husted for Lieutenant Governor. It may be that Mr. Morgan and Mr. Wheel are to attend to arrange the prelimimar to what to be done with themselves, portance Hag wrongly, attached to this little dinner where Mr, s has invited the Speaker to meet a few friend: it would be of interest just now if Mr. Husted would le! us all know if he is heartily in favor of Conkling as a candidate jor the Pi | DEATH OF AN UNKNOWN MAN, While passing the corner of Fortieth streot.and Eighth avenue, at five o'clock last Wednesday after- noon, Officer Caroline, of the Twentieth precinct, saw an uvknown man lying apon the sidewalk in an {nsengibie condition. Ho was removed to Beilevue Hospital, but died a few bours after without having Tecovered consciousness He wag about forty years old, five feet seven inches bigh, bad biue eyes and dark brown d whiskers, slightly tinged with gray, Ho wore a black frock coat, dark striped pants, white a oversnirt, rshirt, soft felt and coarse shoes, Thirty cents wi jound upon his person. Coroner Croker will hold an inquest, DEATH OF A CAR DRIVER. Matthew Leary, the car driver who was crushed be. tween two cars Jast Wednesday at the junction of Sev- | enth avenue and West Eleventh street, died at one o'clock yesterday afternoon in Bellevue Hospital. Thi remains of the unfortunate man were temoved to his late home tn Poughkeepsie, A HORSE OVERBOARD. A valuable horse owned by Thomas Morgan, of Stm Pleton, while engaged in unloading ice from a vessel at the Coast Wrecking Company's dock, at Stapleton, yes- terday morping, was accidentally backed off the dock | into the water and was saved from drowning with the utmost difficulty, bat not before the anima: was neat dead from the cow
