MRS. SINCLAIR WANTED. A well attended meeting of the Bar Association, Mr. ‘Van Winkle presiding, was held last evening ut No, 7 ‘West Twenty-nintn street to consider Mr. O’Conor's letter relative to the charges preferred against him in connection with Mra, Sinclair’s suit against Edwin Forrest, twenty-five years ago. The parlors on the first floor of the building were crowded with well known lawyers, Mr, O’Conor was also present, When the discussion became interesting to Mr, ©’Conor he spoke with great earnestness and deter mination, and though he disavowed bemg personally much exercised about the charges made against him he was certainly deeply interested in carrying the point he had in view, was to be “investi. gated” as fully as possible. He emphatically stated that he could disprove the statements of those who had accused nim, and demonstrate the trath of his own letter in every particular. At the close of the Meeting his desire was gratified by the adoption ofa resolution appointing a committee to arrange for a tribunal whose business it will be to imvestigate the allegations made, and should no accusers appear when talled for, then to hear from Mr. O’Conor himself his zomplete refutation of the charges. After the meeting was called to order ex-Judge Bos- worth rose and, as chairman of the committee having | charge of Mr. O’Conor’s letter, read the following re- | port:— | To Tux Bar Association oF THe City or New York :— | Your Special Commitree appointed to consider and report upon the commanteation made to the Ars ou the 1ith of the present month by Mr. O'Conor respectfully re jeation with all port that they have considered the com: th ectiul attention which the cvaructer of the commu- and its source would naturally excite. e unanimously of opimiou that th fall and frank made by Mr. O'Conor of his professional conduct hole course of his relutions to M elairin her litigations isa safficient avswer to anything that has ap: peared in the public prints or otherwise within the kgow! ede of the committee in the way of accusution or imputa- f sucb conduct. inion, the committee do not at present ad- | vise the constitution of any tribunal either within or with- out the association for a further prosecution of the inquiry asked for in Mr. O'Conor's communication, The committee are, however, disposed to think that it for the ussociation to invite from Mrs. s ay hould raise a it then mig 0 make some pro gation which Mr. O’Conor hus desired. The committee, theretore, report for the consideration of the assuciation thé following resolution :— Resolved, That a copy of Mr. O'Conor’s communication to | the Bar Association, and of this report and resolution be transinitted by the Secretary of the Association to Mrs. Sin clair, and that she be informed that the Association will be pleaded to receive from her ang communication she may be isposed to make Loft, All which is respect 3.8. BOSWORT! | | | Ny submitted. | | WILLIAM MITCHELL. JOUN BE. PARS iy Ww New Yor, April 15, 1876. Ex.Judge Bosworth supplemented the report with a few remarks, in the course of which he said:—“The committee have stated in their report their unanimous opiuion that the communication made by Mr. O'Conor is a fuil and complete answer to anything in the way of hmputation, or msinuation contained in the article specified in his communication. In that article Mrs, Kinclair 1s made to gay simply that she understood or supposed that Mr. O'Conor’s services were to be rendered 3. she 1 not made to say thal OConor ever si plated. Mr. Sedley publis! morning @ lon; articlo, as originally published inthe Times, was pub- | liched not only against’ bh n but against Mrs. Sin- clair’s wish and remonstran | After dissecting the letter alluded to the Baid there se 1 to be nothing left of the article out fide of newspaper Insinuation, of which be had nothing to say, except the to Mr. O’Conor ‘by the ladies of York, and the other on behalf of prominent | members of the Bar, and took place on those oc- casiona, On the latter occasion Mr. Lord said that the conduct of Mr. 0 r ip respect to Mrs, Forrest. was allied to chivalry e speaker did not see how any- body was at liberty, from that remark, to infer that Mr. O'Conor had rendered his lavorious services gra- tutously. If anybody had inferred that, why, the speaker thought that little could be done | to relieve bis mind. He thought that any | one = who C1 Perform — the services } rendered by Mr, O’Conor, and in addition to that would | advance large surns of mouey to his client during the | progress of the trial, without any otner chance of pay- | ment for the services or repayment of the sums loaned | than acontingency depending upon the result of the trial, and that, too, toa lady to whom he was an entire | | stranger up tothe moment he was employed, would see such conduct was like to chivalry, This outburst was received with loud applause, when the speaker concluded his remarks by saying that Mr. Sediey usserted that neither himself nor Mra. Sinclair nor any of her relatives in any manner aided in or iusti- gated the publication of the original article, and that, of course, they would not be disposed to appear before “the association to make any accusation, What the commitice might have | been disposed to recommend if it bad seen this declara- tion of Mr, Sedley before making the report he was not uble to say. As it was, Mrs. Sinclair, the ouly person hving, so far as they could judge, who knew the facts, ‘Was invited to attend. MR. O'CONOR’S SPEECIT, At the conclusion of Judge Bosworth’s remarks Mr. O’Conor advanced amid warm appluus He said he was exceedingly honored by the courteous manner in which he had been received, aud that be could | not but feel highly obliged to the learned | and very distinguished committee for the man- | her in which it had treated his communication. ‘This was, however, a free country, and while we were able we might be freer to indulge in our independent opinions, and he was under the necessity of entering his objection —he would not say protest—to the conclusion which the committee had arrived. He did not, when ublication referred to appearea, attach any impor tance to it in so far as it could possibly a: ‘Again, he would say what last meeting—that while he estecmed jon of those who knew him not, and xd opinion of those who did, he stood 1 of general opinion, and had always been w to con front it aod to defy it if it had been neces: What he considered right and just he would do.and what he considered right and just to omit be would omit in detiance of whatever opinion might be expressed by the general public or by the press, Therelore as it re. spected any influence upon his own pleasure or tran quility # publication of this kind could have no intla ence. He might add that at his time of life and with his relations (o society—having no objects to gain, public or private—reputation was as near valuciess to him it could be to any person. While saying this be w not be thought ungratetul to the people and the press for the almost uniformly kind sentiments expressed toward him for half a century; bat at this day he could hot have it supposed that he had come there or any where else for the purpose of obtaining a simple vind! canon of bis own personal reputation from false charges. He would not consider {t worth an hour's effort, so far a8 personal feeling was concerned. Jodeed, when turning to the sheets of a newspaper And finding the most unexceptionable and, he thought, if there were any such, the most virtuous. and un- selfish actions of his life made the source of such mon- strous accusations ax are made in the article, he was rather Civerted than otherwise affected or disturbed. Vt might, then, be asked why he was reluctant to ac Copt oF nequiesee in the conclusion which had been arrived at What was the accusation? That about the oldest lawyer who coald te at all sonsidered as active in the procession, one of the very ‘best known, and who bad resided all bis life in a place #0 Conspicuous as the metropolis ot Amerrca, so that fis name bad become generally known and connected exclusively with professional action and professic life, and the profession as a boady—that a lawyer of that condition and whose life had not been the subject of any reproach as having committed any fraud reviously should al! at once be shown to have rpetrated a gross fraud upon a woman to begin with, f®ud a monstrous meanness in imposin profession and the whole commun ty the first place, Very naiuraliy would lead to the remark which a coun: | rative. S$ try paper he observed had made: ‘They may tale about ree Sikes “a reputation disuorered to ve ® pertec 2 ull alike. Now, it appeared to the speaker that in the tace of Buch a state of thin cate itself by punts! ing stich conduct, or ascertaining in the most perfectly clear manuer th» falsehood of the charges and putting that in such a form that false accusation would be put down. It appeared to him that that was the duty of the profession if it had one fanctionary or functionaries through whom the duty could be performed. And the Bar Associa assumed im its very origin that precise office, Wh; ever effects some cifeumstances might hi to rend al ny among them is now am—is utterly biasted—and ion Sree the subject trini Sbereaion might ed an _ opportunity, that reason alone he hee Sree thee them, That the thing might beve « fir reasonable form, he thought iit to give | | failure to come up to the expectations which he formed | lw | have Fey, to say in the way of verifying the | ner. | word or otherwise, | that bis views as already expressed were correct, | committee had not-any right to take formal cogni- | bie accuser, be argued that the two newspapers which | had published the charges, and one of which had no | and stated tl | were responsible accusers and should be made either to | prove the statements or to retract them, | ve | speaker) knew that the editors ot newspapers would Mitchell | PROGRESS OF THE CONTEST BETWEEN rue | | York comes the ultimatum now of those who have for | | so Jong a time reaped a golden harvest from it, Reform, | which the business is controlled, ‘Tho rivalry between | Board of Aldermen from time to time are far too high, pon the whole | | to seenre us anyt ft became the profession to vindi- | NEW YORK HERA the facts and circumstances whereby the charge would be refute, that it might be before the pablie, but he | didnot’ intend that bis explanation or his | simple evidence—the evidence of the accused the self exculpation of the infamous, should be reid and kindly accepted by bis peers, and be turned fort! as undeserving investigation, In other words, it was if the Grand Jury should ignore the bill and he capo a fair trial, He had not counted upon that, and did not think it was in harmony with the vie of that association as proposed in its constitu tion, He was surrounded by old friends who knew him, and it was natural they should balieve him and but was that any proof to go twas not what was to be ex- pected from such a body, and he declared it a'towal when he became a member of the instituvon, IT am not here to be cleansed, as it were, ta go through a | tion by iny Kindly friends Tam here to have the reputation of my profession, which 1s deeply us- Let me be blasted, if I cau the profession be pronounced bat let not its oldest and most trusted members, These were his and for this reason he thought passing the matier without an investigation was not the proper | y to treat it, Another objection was that the roport ed Mrs, Sinclair as an accuser; it supposed her to | tre’ charges. He di not propose to array himself against From hour he Was born, in be had never uttered ono single syllable im’ her disparagement in any way whatever, He had never asserted, nor had the | committee, what the report secmed to imply, that | Mrs. Sinclair had uttered one single word in his dis- paragement, and although it was within the compass of possibility, as it was physically practicable, that sho might have done so, ag. yet he bad never seen any evi- the dence that she had done so, And «ll the evidence he knew anything of was | directly to the contrary, The report assumed, on the strength of somevhing contained in the | newspapers Which had mude these statements—some- thing said by a person named Sedicy—assumes that this lady accused him of something wrong. When she stall have done so and the proof was satisfue- | tory that she had, of course he would ad- mit the fact. Til then be would not admit it, and he did not admit it, but considered the report, assuming that she had done so, a libel upon her and | himself. Why, he asked, should this lady be dragged from her privacy by a challenge from this asso ciation to come forward and present ber bill of charges against him’ He said it would be most unseemly. This controversy was not with | the lady, but with ithors of the calumny; and if justice could not be had otherwise he would seek it through such devices as his best judgement might sug- | gest as lawful and proper. In conclusion Mr. O'Conor il against the course of proceeding suggested by the committee, At the request of one of the members present the re- port was again read, and Mr, Orlando Stewart then ollered a resolution to the effect that the report be re- turned tothe committee with instructions to provide for an investigation, as bad been asked for by Mr. O'Conor, Ex-Judge Mitchell defended the report of the commit- saying that it was not intended to deprive Mr. nor of an investigation, but that the committee be- eved that such was altogether unnecessary. Mr. O'Conor again addressed the meeting, insisting Agiinst the declaration of Judge Mitchell that the | zance of the charges because there was no responsi- Jater than th morning editorially referred to them, it new developments might be expected, Ex-Judge Bosworth said that what Mr. O’Conor do- | | sired was something wb:ch the Bar Association could | | scarcely do. In this case there were no accusers. Med fe insinuations in the newspapers were before them. | begged to be let off from serving on anv committeo «to | which would have to arrange forea tribunal to try this matter, He believed it was Mr. O’Conor’s idea to have a tribunal appointed consisting of clergymen or lay. men, before whom the editors of the newspapers in. ved would be summoned to appear, but he (tho not appear. Mr. Ketchum then moved the following resolution, as a substitute for Mr. Stewart’s:— Resolved, That anew committee be appointed to arrange a tribunal to investigate into the charges referred to in Mr. O'Conor's statement belore the association, and to invite the accusers before them aud to report the result of their in- vestigation, Mr. O’Conor said that he would show his own story to be trae and his accuser’s false. It was seldom, ho believed, that after the lapse of a period of twenty-five years proofs could be so easily produced as in this case, Mr. O’Conor again alluded to his readiness to como forward, He did not Want clergymen particularly or members of any one particular class more than an- other. It would take only a single morning for him to show the falsehood of the allegations, and that there was not anything in them even approximating to truth. ‘After a further explanation of the report by Judge Mr. Coudert spoke eulogistically of Mr, O’Conor’s high standing in the profession, and said that the Bar | would continue to believe in his integrity, no matter | Who might assail it. It was not right, as'the report | would have them do, to invite Mrs. Sinclair to commu nicate with the association, considering that she bad | had opportunity already to speak had she qhosen. It | was elsewhere that the insinuations should be sougnt | | for and then dealt with, : i After some further discussion Mr. Ketchum’s resolu. | tion, Mr. Stewart having withdrawn bis, was adopted | with but a few dissenting voices. It was then asked to consist of seven, und Messrs. | Peabody, Stewart, Coudei ndfurd, Hand Lord were appointed by the’ Chair. The assoctaton adjourned to next regular meeting | night and the new committee then had a-short session | | to make preliminary arrangements as to their future | course. CHEAP CABS. RIVAL FACTIONS—EACH TRYING TQ WIN— VIEWS OF ANOTHER SPECIAL LICENTIATE ON THE SITUATION—MORE INSPECTORS WANTED. Out of all the discussion of the cab system of New they have agreed, is absolutely needed, and it can ofly be brought about by a total change in the methods by the two classes known as the Public Hack Owners’ As- sociation and the special licentiates, which seemed likely to bring about a civic settlement of the question, has not culminated satisfactorily yet, but the chance | afforded by the Hxratp for thé publication of the views | of both parties shows that the cab System is rotten and | that the rates allowed by the ordinances passed im the THE TWO PROPOSALS, Each of tho hack associations have spoken on the subject, allowing that there was ground for dissatistac- tion, and that “perbaps” reform could be instituted in this mode of public transportation, The public hack owners wanted uniform licensos and rates, and the special licentiates wanted eithar a commission em- powered by the Logisiature to regulate, inspect and coutrol prices in the hack basivess, or to in number of the hack imspectors irom sev present number—to a larger body that would supply ‘Tho public back owners Went (o the May of the question, and were miormed that if they pat their proposal in writing it would be duly and properly considered betore cout he special licentiates—the wealthier faction—have interested politicians in their veh disceX the consummation of their views in that Meanwhile both are arrayed against the project of the American District Company's cheap line of cabs Which 1s about to be started, because they tear defeat in tair Sompetition. Therefore, at this time, the efforts of those engaged in the trafic are put forth to Dring about a retorm that wiil benedt the public and not intertere with the geveral aspect of the industry. THE XMPEROK'S COACHMAN. | Oue of tho largest owners of public carriages and cabs in this city is Mr. H. f, Elderd, whose stabies are at Nos. 4 and 6 West Forty-fitth street and 601 and 603 Sixth avenue, Mr. Elderd furnishes sho coaches ro- quired by Dom Pedro IL A Heracon reporter called on the liveryman and asked bis views on the present con- dition of the cab system in this elty andas to the diMculties im the Way of reducing it to a cheaper pasis. Mr. Elderd said that one of the chief obstacles to a re- duction o1 the present rates could be tound in the de- mand for elegant turnouts, None tn the business felt the ine neg ofa reform more than be did, because, like other large livery establishments, his sultered seriously from the présent restrictions under which their licouses heid them, { “For example,” said Mr. Elderd, “Ihave twelve coupes, twenty-five coaches, six open coaches, three park pbactons and fitteen landaus; 180 horses, forty drivers, thirty stable helpers, beside clerks. The ex- peni this concern hes the neigh. borhood of $10,000a8 month This large sum has to and to be able to liquidat ) ed by U hacks Well, L will show you how hard itis to do under our’ heense, which only permits w take a passenger to his destination and deprives the driver oi the right to solicit a return fare on his way homeward, so that you will perceive that a | trip Is in reality bine times out of ten but half remune- | ould we agree to take Fort paid For the iaw says that should the man, on his road home, solicit a passenger his license will be revoked and the proprie- vor Gned $14 T fore it will be that in order ng like living rat work the scale Ol prices must be fixed at figares similar to ‘@ altogether reasonable those now in use. They when it is considered that we usually are required to furnish customers with first class turnouts, drawn by couple of horses. For such rigs we are allowed, I would say, tocharge $4 As arule, our driver re required to wear first class liveries, which cost at the rate of each. With regard to tt numbering of vehicles, it ts not the liverymen but tne public that are to blame for such a practice not bein; adopted, Scarcely avy one Who wants to hire a coacl will have one that is uumbercd, The aniversal desire ts to ride nveyanoes that look as much Hike pri- | vate cal «possible, Our customers wou! to ride ore a number, 80 [hat we pelled to gratify them in ibis ri elegance of the outtit, We can't rg out a ene-horse | ing of ins | rails of these tracks and in the erection ; impr liveries short of $1,500, A coach and team will cost $2,500. Then i miust not be forgotten that repairs have to be made twice a year at feast at considérable expense. Our climate and pavements are far different indeed trom thoge of London. There has been a deal o1 talk concerning the Londen cab system. Com- Parison between it and ours is unfair, imasmuch as Nowe of our Lary i would be contented to ride in hacks like those used in the British metropolia You know as weil as I do that every attempt to introduce even improved cabs here, ae tn the case of the Crystal, was an utter farlure, not because exorbitant charges were made by the compaby—no, sir; it was because there was no possibility of making them popular that mi hem go under. With regard to the proposed commission, 1 would say that I don’t think its appointment will be productive of retorm, Not be- cause good cab government might not be effected, but because another political machine wou'd be created that might be used unwisely. The true solution of our present hack complications, in my judgment, would be the creation ofa tall corps Pd epg who should be | ic stationed at the points of public call, and who, being Tully posted in the business in-all its details and the men who work in it, would be able to guard against ex- tortionate charges and all the ills now complained of. They might act in some such way as thé Parisian in- Spectors, check the names of the ngers, owners and drivers, and, knowing ‘the call,’ decide upon the | accountability of bim who drove’? Mr. Elderd also thought that the selection and plac- tors at every theatre, hotel, depot and ferry, with powers which the police do not now possess, would give tue public @ reformatory cab system in every way satisfactory. THR TRUTH is that the two factions, Public Hack Owners’ Asso- ciation and the special licentiates, feel as others do— that reform is necessary and must come; but ag to just bow it shall be brought about they cannot decide, One side is feartul that should a commission be ap- pointed by the Legislatare an undoe control of indi- vidual enterprise will result; the other fears a cur- tatiment of the privileges which they now enjoy and grow rich upon. One thing is certainly deduced from the contention In progress, It is that a better system of cabs will be established, and that extortionate rates will be put an end to in due time. RAILROAD RIVALRY. THE SIXTH AVENUE HORSE CAR COMPANY'S COMPLAINT AGAINST THE GILBERT ELEVATED ROAD. Some time since an application for an injunction was made in the Superior Court by the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company vo restrain the Gilbert Elevated | Railroad Company from constructing their proposed railway. ‘The ground on which this action was taken is that the Gilbert people have, in violation of the pro- visions of the act incorporating them, infringed upon the rights of the Sixth Avenue Company, and have resolved on carryiug outa plan of operation entiroly different from that at first proposed and provided for by law. The plaintiffs claim that they are a railroad corporation duly created under an act of the Legislature of | the State of New York, and as such havo been for more than twenty years the exclusive own. ers of the Sixth Avenue Railroad; that they also own in fee very valnable property located along the route and in consequence of that possess all the rights and privileges over that avenue which lawfully apportain to the ownership of premises abutting upon a public street. They claim that on June 4, 1861, the Mayor, Al- dermen and commonalty of the city, adopted certain resolutions prescribing specifications to be observed in the management of the road and providing rules for the government of the company which if fdlfilled entitled them to carry out their scheme of construc- tion in its entirety and to run cars upon their road ag often as the public eonvenience might require. By reason of these resolutions and the matters per- taining thereto a contract was made between the plain- tiffs and the city by which the railroad and its appurte- nances, with full franchise and uso, wore granted to them. Rolying upon this contract and grant and upon the maintenance of their integrity, the plaintitls built and completed their railroad, furnishgd xt with a large number of cars, horses and whatever else was requi- site, and erected for its use and that of its adjuncts large and extensive buildings, the whole necessitating an outlay of over $1,000,000. Ever since the completion of the railroad they have bad possession of it und exclusively operated it, run- | ning over it us many cars ag public Convenience re- | quired, and in repairing, improving and properly using it have strictly observed the provisions set down in tho resolutions, a fulfilment of which involves them in an annual expense exceeding $500,000, This railroad was mostly constructed and in opera- tion prior to the passage of the “act rejative to the | | construction of railroads in cities” by the Legislature, and by this act the resolutions of the Common Council and the agreement between the plaintiflyand the city in relation to the railroad were duly confirmed. ‘The plaintiffs furthermore contend thut the defend- ants were incorporated by an act of the Legislature of the State, passed June 17, 1872, and were- thereby em- powered to construct an elovated railroad, to be oper- ated by the plan known as the ‘Gilbert's Improved Elevated iierealr AN and to provide the necessary sid- ings, stations and platforms requisite to convey pussen- gers according to the methods specitied. These con- stituted the plan of atubular railway operated by poecumatic power. In this act it was pro- | | vided that this corporation wontd enter upon cer- tain streets and tnto the soil of the same in any manner necessary to maintain the tubular ways; ‘that they construct their railway in the most thorough and artistic manner, of sufficient dimensions for their easy operation and at such a height above the streets as would insure unimpeded trafic beneath. It was pro- vided that this railway should be substantially sup- ported above the middle of the street by iron ‘arches. spanning it from curb to curb, the dases of which ould not, when practicable, be’ more than sixty feet rt nor the arches less than fifty tect from each other ; that to secure the necessary foundations for these arches it would be lawful to make such excavations in the streei as should be necessary from time to time, and make therem and thercon such structures as would secure stability and firmoess, providing that the orignal appearance of the ground be restored and that the openings interfere with no underlying mains, ‘This act was passed solely in reterence to the con- struction of a tubular railway so supported and oper- ated, and does not authorize the consiruction of any other kind of railroad. Notwithstanding their utter Jack of right to do so the defendants intend to build an ordinary elevated railroad, to be worked by steam loco- motive engines, and to be Supported on straight trans- verse girders, resting on iron columns, which, instead of being placed at the curbstones, are to be in the road- way, close to the plaintitis’ railroad This elevated railroad, instead of being from thirty to forty feet above the level of the avenue and enclosed 1 iron tubes to conceal the movement of the cars and action of the locomotives, is to be much lower and entirelg uncov- ered. For the construction of this railr the defendants bave uslawiully made openings in the | roadway close to the plaintiffs’ tracks, and they intend, | if their convenience shall require 1, to @emove the temporary bridges to interfere with the practival working ot the Toad. In view of these circumstances the plaintiffs conten’ that the grant of the railroad ts invaded, and a ful- . filment of the plan proposed woula inilict upon them special and irreparable damages to a large amount m the annoyances \ Which it would subject them. The erection of iron columns at the points now designaved 4m the roadway would brmg them within fitteen imehes of cars passing and repassing and standing, as they may, only thirty-five feet apart, one of them “would bo passed in Jess than evor four seconds. The plainuffs hold then that hedging in their rail- | Toad vetween such a row of iron columns would mev- iably lead to serious and frequent accidents in col- Usions on the in the breaking or injuring of sach passengers’ heads and arms when protruded outside, And that the run- ning of trains of cars propelled by locomotive steams! engines upon the contemplated elevated railroad would ruin the plaintiffs’ ratlroad and render its operation jcadio. That the plaintiffs are compelled, by their charter, to operate their railroad by horse power, and that they constantly employ for that pu from 1,000 to 1,200 horses, about one-third of which are new he comparatively wild and untractable and unused en the ordinary sights and sounds which take Place in the streets of a jarge et ind that the noiwe and smoke of a train of curs pt ‘lied by steam power, passing directly overhead, would xo temily these borses as to render them unmanageable and cause them y, to swerve from the track, and to jnjure ‘and smash the cars to which ghey shoulda be atiached against the iron columns, and that the like- Lhood of the occurrence of such accidents would deter people trom riding in the plaintiff's cars, from an ap- Prenension of the personal injury which would ue oo- casioned to them thereby, That, besides, the plaintifty cars and horses would Hable wo mjury and being soiled trom the cy of fire and cinders, and the dripgtngs of ot] and dirty water, from the defendauts’ tracks and their passing trains, That as the contem- plated elevation of the supports to the defendants’ rail- Toad are, as the plainufts are informed, to be only from twelve 10 fourteca feet ubove the sarluce of sixth ave- nue, if the plaintiis should be required (as they may be) to use upon their railroad a kind of cars em| ed ‘on other horse railroads, which are higher than those now used, and with seats on top. the space afforded woald not admit of their passage. Moreover, as owners ol property afong the route, the value of which is largely owing to the present \di- ton of the avenue, the plaintiffs’ railroad would se- verely suffer from the erection of supports which would greatly impair its usefulness and seriously ob- struct traffic on it, apart from the imjurious effects arising from the noise, smoke anu dirt of ing er motives, On these grounds the plaintiffs the Gilbert Elevated Railway Company be from constructing any such railroad along Sixth ave- nue as they have contemplated.

Among the really strong men named for the repub- lican nomination is Senator Rescoe Conkling, of New York, During bis Jong service in both branches of | Congress he has been one of the very foremost in the great work of national legislation in times and under circumstances demanding all the higher qualities of the statesman—patriotism, personal and public honor, cour- age, bravery, intelligence and industry, In none of | the legislation during his dozen years of service in | Congress has Mr, Conkling tailod to moet the most ex- | acting demands ot the periluus and exacting period io | Which his lot was cast. There is nothing of tho | trimmer in Roscoe Conkling; his courage bas always | been equal to whatever occasion has confronted | | i | bim an ali bis active life, Fearless and | outspoken in his views, which it is but the. | truth to ray have always been of the most patriotic and truly statesmanlike character, the Senator has Jong been accorded a leading pusition among the reatest men of his time. It will not be denied that he fcr accomphshed as much in fashioning the great | measures of the past dozen years as any man in tho. bation; and tu rougbout all these years, and despite | his reputed headship of a rival State faction, no stain | or blemish tarnishes his character or reputation. In | oratory he bas but few ws in thiscountry or in | Europe, As arepublican his record is absolutely clean, | and hence he has the general confidence of his party. 18 CONKLING THE COMING MAN? [From the Omaha (Neb.) Herald.) The New York Herat» now argues, concerning | Conkling’s chances at Cincinnati, that he will go there with 128 aelegates from New York and Pennsylvania, | aud avout 276 delegates trom tho Southern States given | him by the influence of the President. | _ This is exactly what the Omaha namesake of the New | | York journal has argued since the Bremerhaven ex- | plosion on Belknap, and the only question about it 13 | whether Grant now has the control of the Southern element with which be has been xo generally accredited. Mississippi does not look like it, and the new Nash- ville departure from **the color Nne’’ rather strength- eus this theory. ‘CONKLING THR ODD TRUMP. [From the Chicago Tribune. ] In the Cincinnati Convention the delegates from | eighteen States and from the eight Territories, inciud- | ing the District of Columbia, which have no electoral | votes, will have 163 votes im the nomination of a candi- | date.’ Under the circumstances’ these delegates will | candidate they may force upon the ay They will constitute more than forty per cent of the Convention, | and with the Conkling machine vote of Now York can | positively nominate a candidate in defiance of the vote of all the certain republican States of the country. The patent delegations, representing no probabie electoral | | votes, can therefore, by uniting with any one of the Machine factions, give to the party a candidate obnox- | jous because ot nis identification with the past, and because of his abhorrence to the system of machine politics, GRANT YOR CONKLING. {Washington correspondence Guid Hill (Nev.) News.] Conkling would be acceptable to New York, and ne would have no trouble in getting the support of M: ton's carpet- ere in the South. He would have a goodly sum of administration tunas to dispense, of course; all of which 1 vastly im his favor. Binime’s intense demagogisin and his manifest lack not only of | | anything like statesmanship, but even of personal dig- | | mity, will opefate to his disadvantage. He is not | | uearly so popular as be was a few weeks ago. Bristow | | labors under the double disadvantage of being uncer | | the Presidential disfavor and a Southern man. | {| His meddiesome intervention in the St. Louis | { whiskey frauds, by which Babcock was caught, ana from which tho. President escaped only by the skin of his teeth, has not been forgiven. His con- founded strait-laced honesty came near pulling | the scab off the White House sore, and that would | have been a pretty stroke of policy on the evo of a | | Presidential canvass! No; Bristow is doomed, His | other qualification would be fatal, perhaps, of itself. He is from Kentucky, and Kentucky is in the South, and no good republican will ever believe that any | worthy thing can come out of the South.

To rue Epiror or Tus HERALD:— An Englishman begs to forward to the editor of the Heraup a few facts about polo and coaching, which may not prove uninteresting at the present time. The Amorican public will no doubt be much inter- ested ip the first public coach that is to be started in this country, from the Hotel Brunswick to Sutton — bridge, by Mr. DeLancey A. Kane, on the 1st of May next, and also in the new game of polo that has met with so much success tn Europe, and which will now find a home for the first time in this country in the neighborhood of Jerome Park, under the auspices of prominent sporting gentlemen and the American Jockey Club. Amateur coaching was first introduced in England some six or eight years ago by the late Mr. Chandos Pole, @ wealthy country gentleman and enthusiastic sgortsman, by the establishment of ‘the Brighton,” plying between the White Stone Cellar, Piccadilly, “London, and the Al- He associated with himself as the Alfred Tedder, who in the old professional coach rive the Exeter mall ‘The two, couch days used to | from their remarkable resemblance, wero always call the twins, and the same year was fatal to both of them (1372), The success. of this coach was very great, the I! complement of passengers being carried on every journey occupied about tive hours and a 4 due time being given for lunch, Punctuality was the it rule, the schedulo of time beimg ag carefully adhered to as on the railroad, the changes of horses, ve in number, being executed with wonderful Tapidity, and the destination always reached within five minutes of the appointed time, From this date coaching rose in the public estima- tion, and many gentlemen of meaus and leisure started like ent ‘ises in other directions, notably the Tunbridge Wells coach driven by Mr. Charles Hoare, the banker, ana afterward by Lord Bective and Colonel Hawthorne—which obtained great popularity owing to the beauty of the country through which the journey lay and the numerous visitors to the far-famed watering ; and last season no tess than cight coaches left London every morning for various destina- tions, viz.:—Brighton, Tunbridge Wells, Guilford, Dorking, Becken! St. Albans, Wickham and Vir- ginia Water, besides the offivers’ coach which left town at three o'clock inthe morning to convey oilicers to Aldershott in time fur morning parade. Two American gentlemen have distinguished them- selves in coachiny, viz. :—Mr. G. W. Tiffuuy, who drove the Brighton for two seasons, and Mr. DeLancey A. Kane | who handled the ribbons on'the Virginia Water coach last year, aud met with the same unqualified success ‘that will no doubt attond him on his new enterprise this next May, .Each coach carries a attends to the coachman, who passengers, takes the fares, delivers parcel and blows tho horn on approach- ing villages or the changing aud takes the ribbons im the event of the atateur not driving; but ue Awore eoherene: sensation than driving horses on a bright spring day can hardly be imagined, aud the numbers of people who patronize the coaches in the old country my preve how popular the amusement is becoming.
