0 CREENWOODS GRAVES. The Politicians After a Bone. FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT THE GREAT CEMETERY. Attempts of Politicians to Control its | Funds and Raid on its Treasury. There sre 182,040 people in Greenwood Cemetery. Ot these 440 are hard at work grading, digging, sod- ding and planting, the rest are fast asleep in death, On all this goodly band, tho broad acres of the ceme- tery and the $800,000 careluliy laid away for use in a wainy day the ep POLITICIAN’S EYE 1S FIXED, That oye is always quick to detect anything with a | Done in it, and, believing that Greenwood offers oppor- tunity for patronage, at all events to plunder, perhaps the public will not be surprised to hear that efforts have been made and are still making to wrest the con- trol of this vast property from the hands of the men who designed and perfected it, and to transfer it to trustees who will be usable at election times for polit- | feal ends, Tho first step toward this end—thit is, the first pnblic step—was an endeavor tocommit the Legis lature to such a change in cemetery charters as would compet Greenwood to pay the ASSESSMENTS FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Wm its vicimty. A very strenvons and determined effort was made to secure this’ legislative action, tut it failed for the time being, tho non-concurrence ot the | committeo to which it was referrod killing it. Green. | ‘wood does not stand alone in its interested opposition to this scheme, for nearly every town in the State has its rural cemetery, and all are linble to be affected in the same way. About the samo time Alderman Melo tire, of Brooklyn, introduced a bill in the Board exact- ing the assessments from Greenwood. Two of the trustees, Messrs. Pierrepont and Perry, wero a) pointed a committe to wait upon the Board and ex- plain the position of the corporation, and show by the terms of the charter that Greenwood {s forever ex- empt from taxes and assessments. A short time since the Corporation Counsel expressed his opinion that such was the fact. In spite of this, and the failure both at Albany and Brooklyn, it 1s believed that further at- tempts will be made to compel the Cemetery corpora- tion to part with some of its reserve funds, and if vol- | untary compliance is not made litigation and vexation will probably follow, These persistent attempts to wrest the CONTROL OF GREENWOOD from the hands of gentlemen who originated the | scheme and have managed it without compensation since 1839 have two ends in view:— First—The dispensation of labor patronage. Second—The control of the reserve fund, which varies from $500,000 to $800,000 At ® meeting yesterday the Comptroller, Mr. Perry Said that although Prospect Park has more acres of land than Greenwood, Greenwood has three times as many miles of road and five times as many miles of path to take care of. It would seem to be reasonabio to suppose that it would cost as much money to take @are of Greenwood as ot Prospect Park, At present the sources of income are three:— First—The salo of lots, Second—The digging of graves. Third—Interest on the reserve. Ot course after awhile all revenue from the first Bource will end. There is still avast territory to be eold, but it is going off steadily, and in time must end altogether. The recular charge for opening a gravois $5, and this carries with it an obligation of perpetual care of the grave, It must be sodded, mown and kept shapely. The last item this year was immense. The Fains did such damage in sinking graves as to require an expenditure almost equal to the receipts. There wore MIGHTY THOUSAND SUNKEN GRAVES, every one of which nad tobe filled up, treshly mounded and returfed. Constant supervision Is absolutely neces- sary in the winter and spring, when rains and freshots undermine the vaults and sink the graves in all parts of the grounds. The incdme from the first source in the last fiscal year was $109,687 26, and from the second, $31,562 50. It is believed by the trustees that in time the receipts from parties ing graves opened will be quite swatlowed up by the expenses attending the care and protection of the graves themselves, so that the whole permanent care of the cemetery will depend upon the third source of income. THE RESKRVE FUND. Concerning this fund there has been a great deal of gossip and speculation as to its amount and what was fone with it. According to the books the following aro Yhe figures:-— United States five-twenties, 1867 United States five-cwenties, 1568 United States sixes, 1881 Currency sixes, . Currency tives, ten-forty. Total Beven per cent New York bonds. Beven per cent Brooklyn bonds Bix per cent Brooklyn bonds... saaess «ences +++ $590,000 + $92,000 9,152 Real estate security... Lots sold, unpaid Book accounts. Vaults unsold. Disbursement fund.

It is believed that the temetery will eventually need and have a fund of | about TWO MILLION DOLLARS, from which an annual income will be obtained of | 120,000 or $140,000, all of whieh wiil be needed for the | permanent care of the cemetery, At the annual elec- Mops there arc rarely more than two or throe voting | Obviously, then, it | land-holders, lot ownerg, present. ‘would be in the power of any unscrupulous or designing set to purchase lots, attend the election and put them. selves in power, thereby getting control of the tund. To obviate this ina certain degree the corporation scoured ihe pastage of a law which provides that if at any annual election less than ono-third of the voting whers cast their votes, the existing trustees, shall elect their successors, There are fifteen trustees, of ‘whom five go out every two years, It would take six years to mako any marked change, therefore, in the composition of the Board. The Board is composed this year as follows:—Robert Ray, Henry EK Vierrepont, | Cyros P. Smith, John H. Prentice, Pliny Freeman, Russell Stebbins, Benjamin H. Field, A. A Low, J. Carson Brevoort, James W. Beekman, Arthur W, Ben- mn, Alexander M. White, John W. C. Leveridge, Ben- in D. Silliman, J. A. Perry. Of these Mr. Pierrepont is l’resident, Mr. Low Vice | President, aud Mp. Perry Comptroller and Secretary. | The only compensation the trastecs havo is $5 each for their attendance at the several meetings, but the Comptrolier has a nice salary of $7,500 per anrum, fhe ordinary procedure of cemetery business so closely affects the great bulk of the public that when gceasion offers they not unnaturally look with in. fereat at the use of the movey, in and out. From the books we ascertain that tho last fiscal year's income from all sources $244,774 47, and the gross ex- penditure was 14 Of this $154,335 35 was spent on labor and $104,569 08 on improvements, THE SALARY LIST te interesting, although small, ax follows Comptroller Comptroller, extra tor back year te tof interment Total salary Wat....ceees ees see $19,820 Mr. Perry, the Comptrolicr, manages the affairs of the j Knees and begged him not to expose her. | im the building pr Gorporation, devoting his time to them now, as he bas position he now holds.

For in- stance, the severity of the weather in winter seriously affected almost all of the Scrimshaw concrete paths, They had to be thoroughly repaired at once or suffered to deteriorate beyond repair, leaving no alternative but a large expenditure for renovation or absolute destruction, They were repaired, and the cost, irre- spective of labor in preparing for the improvement and repairs, was $26,827. New paths bave been surfaced with this conerete and old ones widened at the further cust of $1,546, Many monuments have become so soiled by dust or cxudations of overhanging foliage as to need_—_—srrubbing cleaning, “and the joints of those composed of several pieces require to be pointed to prevent ulti- mate dilapidation, Especially is this needed in the cuge of vaults which are built wholly or in part above ground, Several of these, owing to imperfect con- struction, and the absence of repairs, are beginning to fall in pieces, and will inevitably be soon in ruin unless thoroughly repaired, 1t is a serious question as to how far thecure of the grounds commits the corpora- tion to the care of the stupes and monuments. If owners die or move away, leaving careless heirs who will or can do nothing to preserve the appearance of decency, it 18 a question whether the corporation should or should not devote any considerable sum of money to the preservation of the improvements, If it does not, many pretentious tombs will crumble away. If it does, where is the movey to come irom? The men now in charge have given years of time, much thought and great caro to the affairs of the cemetory. They aro men of wealth and position, not one being a politician, Whatever may be, thus far they have kept the politicians out—except tho dead ones—and they announce their determination to continue so to do to the end. THE FOURTH OF JULY. 4 The strength of the Grani Army of tho Republic in the coming centennial colebration in this city will be much greater than has been anticipated. All those who do not attend the general encampment at Phila- delphia are expected to unite with their fellow-citizons in this popular demonstration. A number of posts which find it impossible to visit Philadelphia have al- ready expressed their intention to not let the nation’s centennial birthday pass without a screech trom their American eagle. The entire First division of N.G.8.N.Y, will parade as escort to the grand procession, and for once will be in a halo of light and glory too. Societies and organizations of ail kinds and classes and representing all nationelities are vieing with cach other to give obrilliancy to tho scene, some to keep up a display ot Roman candles und fancy-colored lights during the whole march, Volunteer tre organizations, with and without «pparates, from neighbormg towns have re- ported, aud by their presence will gludden the eyes of Hanz Howard, and remind us of days gone by. Our colored People, not to be outdone im a aisplay of pa- triotism, will be represented by their military organiza- tons and a number ot civic societies, aud to accommo- date those not inembers of orgunizations the commuit- tee will assign u position for colored citizens gencrally, under the leaderstip of one of their own number. The First regiment of the Irish brigade will parade about 200 men, 1 full uniform, under the command of Colonel Phelan, ' The cadets of Temperance, Chelsea Section, No. 12, will turn 150 men or mere; aud variol temperance societies of Irish and other nationalitics Will form a conspicuous part of the procession. The German Rifle Corps and Turner societies: are enthusiastic, as well as the Italian and other benevolent societies, The Order of United Amer- ican Mechanics, « very worthy, benevolent society, of whom our people see but litte, will contribute a large force, and undvubtedly make a finc display. One of the most novel features, if carried out, will be the pres- ence of about 200 carriages driven by the owaers and occupied by their families belonging to the New York Hackmen’s Association, The Procession Committee do not consider it prudent to have horses in the general columns, but will assign a position to the backmen in consideration of this being their first public demonstra- tion, It is hoped that all orgamzations inteuding to take part and which have not yet reported will do so at once, giving their probable number and places ol as- eembly, in order that the Committee muy have time to olassily them and make proper assignments iv the gon- to this programme should be mentioned at Mr. David Van Arsdale, of the Corp of 1812, will hoist the American fing at the Battery Park, ‘on tho morning of the Fourth of July, whore his father, a sailor boy, climed up a greasy pole and hoisted the Americayg fay when the British evacuated Now York, nearly ahundred yours ago, Adjutant Warner will also raise the flag on ihe Old Fort in Cenyral Park, YALE COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.

Deutix, June 8, 1876, The readers of the Henatp kuow already that about four weeks ago a memorial, signed by 138 members of Partiament (the great bulk of whom represented English and Scottish constituencies), was presented to Mr, Disraeli praying bitn to advise the Queen to pardon the remoant of Fenian convicts who ure still detained | under sentence passed in 1867 and 1868, Mr. Disraeh refused to comply with the prayer of this memorial, alleging substantially that those men were not political prisoners at all, but convicts under charges against the ordinary laws. There were, be sai them soldiers who were undergoing pun.shment for mutiny. Etght of those soldiers bad been sent out to Australia, but two had been since liberated; so there only remained six “who are not free in that country, They are in a position very different {rom that of other persons nndergoing sentence of penal servitude,’? MR. DISRAKLI'S REFUSAL caused great disappoint and indignation to the Irish na- tlonalists, But we are not concerned with that just now. The most interesting feature of the case was that, at the moment when he was so doggedly retusing to ro- leuse those unfortunate men they were quite beyond his control, They had released themselves, They had, in fact, escaped, 3 NEWS OF THEIR RSCAPR. Last Monday the ramor reached Dublin, but tt was received with absolute incredulity, Confirmation, however, came quickly from three distinet sources. The news has reached the London Times; the Plymouth Western News, x well informed paper on colonial topics, had it; an Irish priest, stationed in the colony of Western Australia, at Freemantle, the very scene of the occurrence, had written Bome to hig mother an ac- count of it, which is evidently truthful, UISTORY OF THR EVENT. The substance of ali three narratives is this;—On Easter Monday, April 17, durmg the temporary absence of the chief officers of the convict depot at Freemantio, six Fenian prisoners succceded in withdrawing toa place about a mile olf, Here they changed their clothes, and getting into fast raps, which were in readiness, they drove off to Kockingham, a place on the sea- about nineteen miles irom Freemantie, A boat iting for them, and in it they were able to reach and get on board the Catulpa, an American whaler, that was lying to about twelve miles off the Jand, ‘A revenue camo off to the whaler, but was not allowed to search her. And so, it is presume that the prisoners whom Mr. Disraeli passionately fused to jet go were already far beyond the cluiches of British law.” NATIONAL JOY. Here among tho nationalist party there is great ex- ultation, not merely for the escape of the prisoners, but also at the fact that fate had beforehand givon the haughty Premier such a siap tn the face, WHAT THE IRISH PRIEST WRITES.

[From the Cork Examiner, June 8.) ‘The intelligence of the escape of the Fenian prison- ers from Western Austraha bas been confirmed, ‘THK LONDON TIMRS? ACCOUNT. A correspondent in Australia, writing to the Zimes, gives the annexed version of the daring enterprise:— On Easter Monday there was a regatta near Freeman- tle, and the Controilor Goncral and Captain of the Pen- sioners were present. ‘The usual force of pensioners and police, however, remained in Freemantie. While the regatta was proceeding six or seven of the pris- oners managed to escape to a piggery about a mile from the prison, where they changed their clothes and got into conveyances which wore waiting tor them, They are believed to, bave been assisted by an American, who pas been living in the district tor some time. “They drove to Kockingham, nineteen miles from Freemantic. They were received there by a man named Bell, to whom they described themseives as excursionists. Ho attended to the horses. and sccompanied them to the coast, whero a boat had put on shore belonging to the AMMRICAN WHALRR CATALPA. ‘The bont was manned by one white man and fiye or six men ot color. The prisoners told Bell they were going on board, They had given him money, acd ho asked them what he wae to do with the horses and traps. The reply was, ‘“Letthem go to hell.” On looking into oue of the conveyances he found in it three prison felt hats, some patent revolvers, ammunition and aramrod. He at once suspected that they were eseaped convicts and gave the alarm to the police, The Georgette, with fourteen pensioners, followed by the water potice boat, putoff in pursuit, The Georgetto steered in the direction of the whaier and overtook her lying to about twelve miles off the land. The mate was in charge and said the captain was pot on board but away in one of his bonts with sx hands, THR GEORGETTE had in consequence to return to Freemantle, The boat beloncing 10 the whaler bad been overloaded in consequence ol the prisoners being added to the crew and was unablo to stand a sea way. | Sho kept aloug the land during the duy and was followed by the police boat many miles astern, Tho boat, however, reached the Catalpa, was picked up by her and left with the tu. gitives. BURGLARY IN BROOKLYN. A bold burglary was committed at an carly hour yoa- terday morning at the residence of Mz. Adolphe Bessie, No, 468 Hart street, Brooklyn. Mr Bessie has for the past few weeks been the sole occupant of the house, his family being absent in the country, and he had takon special pains to guard against burglars, but, ‘as tho sequel shows, to no avail, He retired to his bedroom, which is on the second story,abous ten o'clock on Friday night, and was soon asleep. About one o'clock he awoke, experiencing a strange and coa- fused feeling, which he toon determined to have been the effect of chloroform that had been wpplied to his nostrils by some unknown thief who had broken into his house. The gas which he had extinguished betore retiring was burning, and the bureau drawers ia his room were disarranged, and a poeketbook, containing $50 in money and several articles in jewelry, valneain all at $300, was missing. Mr. Bessie, on descending to the basement, found that the burgiar had effected an entrance by removing an iron shutter which secured one of the windows in the rear, Ho reported the case to Captan Dunne, of the Twelfth precinct, and several officers have been set to work upon the case, sty departure the purglar forgot to tuke with him wstee: jimmy anda screw, whvch are in the possession of the police, STEAMSHIP BRITANNIO. ‘The passengers on the steamship Britannic, of the White Star line, which arrived at half-past five yeste day morning, have united in paying a landsome (tribute to Captain W.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST ANNIVERSARY MILDLY CELEBRATED IN BosTON AND CHARLESTOWN, Bostox, June 17, 1876. The one bundred and frst anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill was celebrated to-day in Charlestown in aquiet manner, which is in marked contrast to the centennial enthusiasm of last year. The strects wore places af business kept open until noon, At sunrise the bells of the various churches were rung and a sa- lute was fired from the buttery at the Navy Yard which was repeated at noon and evening. There were also open air concerts in the morning and evening. The decorations were pot extensive, though some private residences were adorned with bunting, in ad- dition to the public places which are always decorated onthe 17th. City square presented the usual 17th of June appearance which has been famihar to the oldest resident since his eurliest boyhood. The points at which the several streets enter the square were adorned with flags suspended from side to side, ‘The iron fence which sur- rounds the enclosure in the centre of the space sup- ported a dozen or more poles, from which flags of many nations floated, and between which strings of banners were suspended, The frontof the City Hall was adorned with a glory of American flags, tram the centre of which long streamers of red, white and blue bunting stretched out on ail sides. Nour the monument several private resivences bore patriotic displays, and trom the monument itself flouted American flags, Numerous flags avd pieces of bunting served 10 adorn the public. buildings in and about toe Navy Yard, and the sels im the vicinity worked into use their choicest bunting. ‘The Charlestown cadets, Captain J, E. Phipps, made its twelfth anniversary parade with Edmand's’ Baud, The corps paraded us two companies, unuer command of Cuptain J. E.

The annual report of the Treasurer, Mr. Samuel H. Ruasell, showed that the expenses had been $6,494 34, and the income $5,254 20, the increase of expenditures being dae to the centennial celebration of last year.

[From the Chicago Inter-Occan.)} Fitzhugh may be an indifferent letter writer, but a transaction which has just come to light stamps him as a man of rare business ability and a credit to the demo- cratic party, By the rules of the House the Doorkeeper is allowed $75 per month for carriage hire. Fitzhugh concetved tho idea of purchasing a pair of bor od a carriage and hiring it out to himself at government ex- pense, Not having the wherewithal, however, he or- ganized a stock company of 100 shares, at $5 each which wero taken by hts subordinates, and purchas. an outtit, This was. carly in tho session. The stock company was asuccess, so faras Fitzhugh was con- cerned, but no dividends were ever deciared. Fitz- hugh, as president, secrotary and geperal managor, pockoted all the proceeds, and on his dismissal sold the rig and appropriated that rooney also. Our Washing- ton correspondent, on whose veracity the public may implicitly rely, states that 100 stockholders in the de- funct company are diligently searching for Fitzhugh wath clubs.

She had the machine for eleven months, and paid therefor $55, and then positively refased to make any more payments or give up the machine, In October, 1874, the company commenced an uetion, and duly re- plevined the machine at an expense to the company of $11 50, and she was then mformed that she oould have the machine on pay: the difference between the amount already a by ne i the value of the ma- chine, and the $11 5u costs of the wction, and that agreement the company has always been and is now reudy to carry out, On the 10th of June, 1876, she ob- | tained from a canvesser another machine on. trial, giving an assumed name, but made no payment on i.

MASS MEETING AT THE COOPER INSTITUTE-— ADDRESS OF SYDNEY MEYERS, OF CHICAGO. Tt was extensivoly advertised last week that amass meeting would be held in the Cooper institute on Sat- urday evening, June 17, under the auspices of the inde- pendent’ labor party and that several persons would address the meeting on Inbor and finance and politics in relation to labor, At eight o'clock there were about 860 people gathered in the large hall of the Cooper Institete, It was not a very large audience, but it was willing to ve a very attentive one, Mr. T. F. Tully, Secrewry of the Independent labor party, introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr, Sydney Meyers, of Chicago. Mr. Mey- ers ts a good talkcr, and gave a long, interesting and hauative nddress on finauces in general, the banking ystem past and present and tho relations of labor to finance and politics. Ho was strongly in favor of the greenback move- ment, and called upon his hearers to support Mr. wer Cooper tw the full extent of their ability. This call was responded to by loud cheers, and Mr. Cooper, who was on the platform, amiled and bowed as tho audience cheered. Mr. Meyers also asked the workingmen to throw asido all parties and all professional politicians and to yote only for their own interest, He sud that the politicians were hke two base ball nines of professional players, No matter who heid the bat they all divided the gate money. After a long argument on the present financial system of the govermment, which he « ondcmned in the strong- est terms posuible, he satd im conclusion, in regard to. the next election, thes legislative bodies must be purged and re-filled—tho most important ¢ vd eration to the people is wad makes the | to te professional officeholder who dispeus the oxecutive patronage. If any man who may be elected to te office of President fails to excoate the luws he may be impeached and deposed. In all Con- gressional districts whero tuere is a probability of Success an independent candidate for Congress’ will be minated. In all doubttul districts the Independents will de kept well in hand and al all hard times eandidates—commouly ae calling themselves hard money men—and co-operate with any party that nominates a candidate who is pledged ior American money avd American interests, { necessary, Mr. Cooper will occupy the Presidential ebatr, Stute Legislatures will be so secured for the ingependents as to elect as many as pos- sible Who are for American interests to oc- cupy the seats of the twenty-erx United States Senators whose terms expire on the 4th of March next. The workingmen of New York city, who number seventy unions, averaging 1,000 yours each, will see that the State of New York goes for American money and American interests, and that its thirty-five elec- toral votes are not delivered on contracts mad» either at Cincinnati or St. Louis unless approved by the Grand Council with Peter Cooper prosiding.

AFRICAN METHODIST CONFERENCE, DUTIES OF A MINISTER DEFINED—A TEMPT- RESS EXPOSED BY A PASTOR, The fourth day’s session of the African Conference of the Methodist Church of the State of New York was held yesterday at the Bridge street church, near Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, Tho procoedings were begun with prayer by the Rev. E. B. Davia, Bishop Wayman presided. After some debate it was decides that tho next Conference should be held in Owego, N. Y., and not in the Sullivan street Methodist church, of New. York city, as previously decided upon. Brothers Albert S. Amos and De Witt R. Jackson, candidates for reception intu the itinerancy, were called before the Bishop and instructed as to their duties as min- isters, He warned them against standing on cerners trifling away their time and smoking cigars, They should study the “Bible, and learn to pronounce their words correctly when speak- ing. One of the most saccesstul men, said the Bishop, in the ministry called **texts” ‘‘texes.’” Somo men al- waya put a ‘-w’’ in piace of a ‘‘¥” and say *‘woice” and “conwention,”? and ‘‘mought” for ‘‘might.”” T20 many ministers attended more society and political conven- an they did‘love feasts and prayer meetings. They should let the world know that they are not “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” but stand in high places, ‘and live the gospel they preach, Tnev should guard against letting their wives tell them anything. A ‘woman’s tongue brought many « minister into trouble. They should guard against affectation in the pulpit, They should avoid that feeling which some men had that they could manage the affairs of the Presidency at least as well, if not much better, than Mr. Blaine seemed likely to do, -(Laughter.) Alter si ing a bymao the following class deacons were mitted “into full connection:—J. H. McCoy, C. H. Greene, T. E. Franklin, W. F. Townsend and J. H. Nichola, The Bishop, in the course of his admo- nition to the young ministers, said:—‘‘A good op had once said if he was going to make a minister he wouldn’t starch him up; but be would put him im a wash tub and scrub him up.” ‘We need more scrub- bing and less starch,’’ said Bishop Wayman; but he assured the gentlemen whom he was addressing that he did-not mean any personal reflection upon them. The committee to whom was referred the troubles of the Fleet street Methodist church reported, vindica- ting tne pastor, Rev. J, 8. Murray, and lauding him for the course which ho had taken toward the revel- hous trustees, The report was made the special order of business for next Tuesday morning. Rev. Mr. Stewart, pastor of tho Bridgestreet church, rose to a question of privilege, and treated the Con- ference and the spectators to « genuine sensation, He saidone Sunday evening a few mouths ago he was seated in his pulpit when anote was handed him, which stated that a Jady im trouble wished to see bi After service he meta younz woman in the church, who related some difficulty she had with a member of the churen, and he gave her advico howto act. The next Sunday evening, when in the Flect street churc! he was given another letter, which was 80 nonsensical that he destroyed it. Since then he has received eight letiers from. the same temale. of them he opened and read, ancther one his wife opencd, and there were six remaining un- opened, “If you will look up there jou cit seo the party who wrote them,’ said Brother Stewart, potpting to a young color woman, a weil dressed mulatto, who sat alone in the corner of the gallery, looking comp.acently down mn the asseim- biage, not in the least degree abashed by the attention directed toward her. The effect upon the was remarkable; the colored women e¢1 other 1b the excess ot their joy beeamso of the expo- sure of the young lady tho wrote the love letters, The brethre 100, were delighted, and one of them re- marked, “If Mr Beecher had only acted just so he would never have had any more trouble.”’ Order being finally restored the Conterence adjourned.
