It is no exaggeration to say that great excitement was occasioned in Elizabeth, N. J., yesterday when it ‘was noised abroad that Mr. Jeremiah Fairbanks, cashier of the State National Bank, and hitherto a most exeim- Pplary young man, had been arrested ona charge of embezzling the funds of the bank to the extent, as is | variously asserted, of from $10,000 to $25,000. The defaleation was discovered by the visit of the bank examiner, which shcwed de- Gicit of $5,000, Fairbanks sont a note President Kellogg, which siated that he was in trouble and was nearly crazed, intimating that he intended to commit suicide, and finally gave himself up, and is assisting the officers of the bank in making a clean show of his accounts, which are being c.refally over- hauled. Fairbanks was looked upon in Elizabeth, among his acquaintances, as one of the most trust- worthy employes of the bank. as bookkeeper for nearly sixieen years, and upon the opening of the First National Hank several yeurs ago ‘as oflered the position of cushier, but declined, Suv: aequently be became assistani, Was uoied as being quiet, shrewd in business transactions aud the very soul of honor, He drank not, neither did be smoke or indalge in high living of any Kind. Yesterday a slight run was made opou the bank upon the first rumor, but the people were injormed that no apprehension need be felt an to the ability of the bank to pay. dollar for dollar to all depositors, which bad a quieting effect, avd many went away. A gentleman in Liizabeth banking circles stated to a HEeKaLo representative last evening that the resutt of the examination would show no embezzlement, but that Fairbanks bad loaucd the funds of the bank to per- sons in whom he had confidence, but who betrayed his trust in them.

TILDE) *S OPPON NTS HARMONIZED The Campaign Issues on Cur- reney and Reform. A representative of the Hzratp yesterday called upon ex-Lieutenant Governor Allen C. Beach, at the Windsor Hotel, tor the purpose of learning bis views on the Presidential campaign. ‘This gentleman is among the gost prominent democratic leaders in the State of Ne& York. Foraconsiderable time he was | cbairman of the State Committee, and during aterm of six years was cldsely identified with Governor Til- den in the reorganizauon of the democratic party in the Empire State. He occupied the position of Lieu- tenant Governor and presiding officer of the Senate ata time woen Tweed stood as a great power in poli- tics, Mr, Beach was a delegate to the St. Louis Con- vention and is a member of the State @ommittee. Mr. Beach has been in the front ranks in opposition to Mr. Tilden’s candidacy for President ot the Unite States. He took part in the Albany conference against the Governor at which were assembled Messrs, Prayn, Hoffman, Corning and others, With Chief Justice Church he agreed as to the unadvasibility of selecting Samuei J, Tilden. Mr, Seymour was bis favorite can- date, and he voted for that gentleman ip the New York delegation at the secret meeting held at tbe Lindell House, St, Louis, the day betore the Convention assom- bied. Now the scene has changed. The democratic statesman of Jefferson county comes out most cor- dialiy for the reform Governor. In placing himself this platform he also furnished the Hexacp’s representative with many important facts relative to Mr. Tilden’s political history und his con- nection with Tweed, which will doubtless prove very interesting at this particular time, Mr. Beach said:—*I have nor the slightest doubt but that the democratic ticket will be eiected, for the peo- ple ofthe United States bave become thorouguly dis, gusted with maladministration, with high taxes, with Jarge governmental expenditures, with abuses, pecu- lations and frauds in office. They want achange and are determined to have a change. They knowa change ot policy cun only be effected by a chango of men. The election of Mr. Hayes would continue the prosent sys- tem. ‘The people are therelore determined to look lor a reform in the election of f nd Hendricks, The farmers are full of the sentiment 1 have expressed in favor of achange. Besides, they have a special inter- est in this contest, In the cities municipal taxes are the heaviest burdens that are felt; in the rural aisiricts the State taxes are a large part of what they are calied upon to pay. The farmers know that mm jess than two years of Governor Tilden’s administration he has reduced the State taxes irom $16,000,000 to a little more than $8,000,000, That is just what they want Everywheic a considerable number, who have hitherto voied the republican ticket, will cast their bal- jots for Governor Tilden, ‘Their cheese has gone down from twelve and fourteen cents to eight and nine cents a pound. They are obliged to economize, and they think the government should do the same, The same causes are producing similar seatiments in the minds of ail classes. Those who have hitherto been reluctant to ‘turn their coats’ will do so now, as they are con- vined that if they suffer four years more ot republi- can administration they will nave no coats to turn.

In the war it was ‘the Union;’ now it is ‘reform.’ *” “Charges bave been made by certain republicans that Governor Tilden is sham reformer, that he was tor merly in fellowship with Tweed during his ascendanc: Have you any personal knowledge on these subjects “Lcertainly have, From the year 1867, when Tweed ‘was just rising into power, | have as much knowledge on these matters as any other man in the State, ‘Tweed first took his seat in the Senato in January, 1868, In March of the same year I began to assist M Tilden to orgauize the democratic party of the State, | and continued to work with him for the noxt six years, He was chairman of the State Committee, and most of the time I was chairman of the Executive Committee, It was well known that Mr. Tilden accepted the chair- manship of the State Committee in 1866 for the pur- pose of keeping out of the control ut the State organ- ization the men who afterward grew to be called the “Riog."? From 1868 Mr. Tilden was always in a state ot Antagonism to I weed, growing out of the distrust he felteven when there was no proof agamst the Tam many Boss and beiore the depredations began upe the treasury of the city of New York. Tweed had shortly before obtained influence over the patronage of the Street Departmentas Depaty Street Commissioner, under an arrangement made with Mayor Opdyke, are- publican, by whom the Commissioner was appointed, who then selected Tweed for Deputy. FIGHTING IN CONVENTIONS AND STATE COMMITTEE, “In the fall of 1868 a contest took place in the State Convention. ra name was presenied us a candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor The Tammany delegation, except two, opposed me, with all the power they could intluence. ' Mr, Tilden made a square issue with them and succeeded. In tue winter of 1869 Tam- many organized a movement to depose Mr. Tilden from the ‘chairmanship of the State Committes. He ac- cepted the issue. The State Convention outside of the city was go unanimous tor Mr. Tilden that the Tam- | many delegation withdrew from tne contest, In the game year he openly denounced the abuses and wrongs any influence, H to me that it was pot the city of New York, and there, In the Legislative session o( 1870, while I was | Lieutenant Governor, a controversy in respect to the city charter took place. Afier many struggles the | ‘Tweed dynasty got vp a charter which virtual y put the whole power of tne city government for years in their possession without avy respongioility to popular elec- tions and repealing tlle power of the Governor to re- move the Mayor and everybody's power to hold the public officials to account.

Soon after the passage of the bill Tweed, who was a member of the Senate of which 1 was presiding officer, said that they would remove Tilden trom the chairmanship of the State Committee, L answered that they could not do it—the country was too strong for ‘hem, He said they could do it. | told him be had bet‘er try and see how he would come out. In this contest the whole republican party went in favor of Tweed and against Mr. Tilden. They up. ported by the Citizens’ Assuciation, The result was claimed as a victory from prejudiced quarters, although | it was admitted that division of offices and brivery had been employed. It was said tho day beiore Mr. Tilden made his speech (Governor Beach here quoted from a slip in bis hand) that ‘there was something to be bought and plenty of money to buy it.’ 1b was also said, ‘By habit and education the strong men of tl ring worked habitually in that way. They ure aag cious, energetic and ranitestly believe they are justi fied in the adoption of extraordinary means to gain the end of a protracted tertn of power.’ “This extract 1s from an editorial in one of the city papers fifteen months alterward, There were a few indignant protests against the scheme uttered by such | high-toned democrats as Samuel J, Tilden and | others of his character. But they were with. out effect, as Tweed and Sweeny bad the votes already bought up. OF all the repablican senators Senator Tuayer alone is on record as voting against it, And yeta week atter the passage of the new charter this same paper hatled Tweed as a reformer, aud said (again relerring to a slip), ‘The passage of the new charter wnd of the Election law—the latter by far the most subsiantial reform of the two—could not have been re- ceived without the help of the republicans im the is of the Tweed democracy.’ It was afterward re- vealed that at this very time the frauds of Tweed and Co. were going on, and within a month happened the division of 36,000.000, which is the foundation of the actions brought by Mr. O'Conor and bis associates, Such were the fruits of the reforms which some of the republican papers then supported and Mr. Tilden op- posed. What T have just told you is from actual personal knowiedge. I will vow conclude my besty summary of this matter. In the spring of 1871 Mr, Tilden also openly denounced the bilt gov up by the ring givin the judges extraordinary powers as to contemy by the press in Certain ‘eases, and of that Year opened the contest’ which defeat of the ring at the November present in the State Convention.

It 18, therefore, not only amus- iy, but ridiculous, to read in the repubilean papers bat Mr. Tilden cid’ not fight Tweed early enough and ften, considering that in ali the cariier part of the ontests they were on the side of Tweed, ‘NILDEN'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. in the summer the Tesuited tn on. DELAY IN MAKING PUBLIC LONGEST ON REC- ORD—THE COURSE IN EARLY TIMES—CLayY's QUICK, RESPONSE. ‘The unusual length of time Governor Tilden has al- lowed to elapse without forwarding or making public Convention has led to some inquirie: to what has been the course on former occasions of Presidential candid: in like circumstances, Monroe, in 1817, formally accepted the nomination of the democratic caucus five days after it was made, and all the woy down to Van Buren’s time equally prompt action was followed by the men of both parties chosen to run for the office of Chief Mayistrate of the Union, Henry Clay, it will be remembered, was nominated one day, and on the next he gave bis written acceptance to the world, Of late years, however, it bas happened that more time bas been taken by candidates to consider the terms of their letters, though 1t must be said that General Grant, ou the two occasions he was called upon. to write such documents, was ready and brief enough, Twenty-four days passea after the nomination before Horatio Seymour wrote his letter of acceptance in 1868, which was the longest period, until the present occasion, When Governor Tilden has allowed fully a montn to pass by, on record. The cumpaign cavnot be considered fully aud fairly opened until the leiters ot acceptance of candidates are before the couptry, and, 1m consequence, Tilden's delay pxcites general comment and some surprise, Heury Clay, who was nominated asa candidate by the Whig National Convention that met in Baltimore in May, 1544, lost no time in signifying bis acceptance of the honor. He was in Wasbington at the ume attend- ing to his official duties, and a committee was ap- pointed for the purpose of acquainting him with the action of the Convention, The choice was made on the let of May, and on thp day after, the 2a, Mr. Clay wroto his formal jetter of acceptance. It was very brief. The Democratic Convention held the same year nom- inated James K. Poik on the 25th of May, He was 1n- formed ot its action officially at his residence, Colum- from whence he wrote, Juno 12, his letter of acceptance, In it Mr. Polk declared that it was his tled purpose not to be a candidate for re-election to the Presidency. He took a little over a week to con- sider t ernia of his letter, Generai Cass, the democratic nominee for the Presi- dency in 1848, was almost as prompt as Clay, four years before, in'writing his letter of acceptance. He was nominated May 26 at Baltimore, officially notified on the 28th, and on the d0th replied. " Cass in his letter patd a high tribute to the administration of Mr, Polk, and, like him, aunounced that he would not, if chosen by the people, be a candidate under any circumstances for re-rlection, His inclination and sense of duty, he said, led bim to this ixed determination, x In 1852, Pierce (democratic) and Scott (whig) took but a few days to consider and ‘orwurd their letters of acceptance. Mr. Buchanan was nominated by the Democratic National Convention June 6, 1856. “His letter of ac- cep ance was written ten days Jater, Fremont, the republican candidate, was equally prompt. Fillmore, the American nominee, was travelling in Europe when he was chosen by that party. Mr. Lincoin was mominated the first ime May 18, 1860, He accepted on the 28th.

His letter of acceptance was dated June ai General McClellan was nominated at Chicago August 29, 1864, by the Democratic Convention, Ten days after (September 8) he tormaily accepted the nomina- tion. General Grant, in 1868, was placed im nomination May 20, and on the 29th he signified his williagness to run. Horatio Seymour was chosen as the democratic nominee July 11, but it was not until August 4 follow- img that he wrote bis eptance, During the last Presidential campaign the liberal republicans were first in the fled They nominated Horace Greciey May 2, 1872, and on the 20th be ac- cepted, He was indorsed by the democrats at Balt- more July 9, and on the 18th he formally acknowledged and thanked the Convention for its sction in his favor, Grant was renominated June 5, 18’ His letter of acceptance was dated dune 10. He took even less time to consider the matter than he did in 1868, THE CONFECTIONERS’ CONVENTION. ‘The candy makers of the United States, in general convention assembled, held their first meeting at the Astor Hovse yesterday afternoon. Many firms from all parts of the conniry were represeuted. Mr. Chris- tian Miller, of the firm of John M. Milier & Sona, Phila- delphia, was elected President protem., and Mr. 1. H. Chase, of Chase & Co., Boston, was clected temporary Secrotary. After some little deliberation concerning the objects of the meeting and the possibility of form- ing an organization, the President appointed Messrs Hirscheck, Chase, Croft and Greenfield a commitice of conference as to the necessary steps to he taken, After being absent a considerable tune they returned with an elaborate plan of organization. Before considering this plan the Secretary read a very abie paper by Mr. William Greentietd, of the firm oi Greentleld, Strauss & Co, of New York. ' That gentleman urged t bers of the trade to unite in forming an organization which should be tor the benetit of the whole trade. He ad- vocated a regular system of manufacturing their goods, | so that they should always be pure and wholesome. He | wanted a uniform system ol sales, certain fixed prices for goods; a system similar to that oi copyright, by which a dealer who had vented a new style of candy should derive the {uil benoit of the product of his talent, was needed; uniormity shoud be obtained in regard to the charges tor cases; for instance, two per centof the price of the goods sold. A system of creait should be established, terms. ranging from thirty days to four monthe, and no dis- count. A kind of mercantive agency should be created by which ators could protect themselves against re- tatlers whose credit ght be doubtful. Alter this paper of Mr. Greenfieid the plan for or- ganization was read, It advised the limiting of men- bership to those who dealt in gum drops, lozenges and pan work, and who used only steam power in their manufactories. This proposition at once found oppo- nents among some ol the delegates present who did not belong to the fortunate category. Various ne 4 at sitions were entertained, and a reecss was taken, with no defini esult, ‘At last, as a measnre of co irscheck, Chase, Croft and nted a Committee on Mem- bership, to settle the vexed question, ant tho conven tion adjourned subject to the call of’ the chairman of that committee, THE LETTER CARRIERS’ PETITION. Anotber mecting of the letter carriers was held last evening at station D, Cooper Institute, for the purpose of hearing the report of their committee on petition. Delegates were present from all the stations, and quite & number of spectators were in attendance. Jacob Jacobs, of station B, occupied the chair. William P Wild appeared before the meeting as a representative from the general Post Office of Brovkiyn, nd statea that the carriers of that department would like to co- operate with the New York carriors in their efforts to obtain an increase of salary. It was thought best, however, to allow the carriers of each city to state their grievances separately, as nothing could be gained by combining their petitie Mr. Goodwin, trom the Committee appointed to drait a netition tothe Post- master General, reported that he that aiternoon held a conversation with Postmasier James upon the sabject, the result of which had materially altered the committee's method of pro- cedure, Mr. James had generousty offered to take the matter into bis own bands, and apon the completion of the petition to carry it im person to Washinzton and use Lis utmost endeavors to secure the desired opject. Mr. James Gayler, the General Superintendent of the letter carriers’ department, has consented to frame a petition in proper fori trom points to be furnished bim by the committee. The action of Postmasier James met with the bearty approval of the meeting, and the carriers are quite content to leave the matter entirely in hishands Intho next two days it is ex- pected the labor of gratting and signing Ue petition wil be completed, when another meeting of the car- riers will be held for further action.

THE JUDICIAL PROCERDINGS AT PORT HAMILTON. Official Opinion on the Question in Brooklyn, The leading topic of conversation at the Central Office yesterday was the occurrence in the Bay on the day previous, Policemen of evory grade, from patrol- man to superintendent, discussed the alfair, and ex- Pressed but one opinion —that of regret that the New York police did not arrest the Brooklyn officers who had boarded the tug Cheney, All concurred in the opinion that the action of the Brooklyn police was iMegal, and much sympathy was felt for the crew of the captured tug, who were merely employed by the Street Cleaning Department for certain specific work, Early in the day a consu!tation was beld by Commis- sioners Erhardt, Wheeler and hois, and the matter was referred to Counsellor McLean for bis | opinion, Both he ond Chief Clerk Hawley were | clear that the action ot Ferguson was illegal, | | | tmprigonment, They heid that the jaw was explicit in making it imperative for prisoners to be taken to court without delay by tho nearest route, The Cheney was captured at Fort Hamilton, and justead of the prison- ers being then and there disposed of the Brooklyn police carried her two miles down the Bay, With re gard to the law under whicn the Shore Inspector claims to act, they stated that it was not «applicable to the sive material was taken by them. The sweepings of the streets and the small percentage of vegetable retuse from private houses, they claimed, to be not offensive, as that quantity of it that did not sink was purified by the water, and even it washed ashore was not deleteri- ous, Commissioner Nicho!s explained that the scows were always started from the dumping grands when | the tide was favorable and arrived inthe Lower Bay | within two hours. The material was invariably all dumped on an ebb tide, Whatever offal washed ashore was not from the | Street Department soows, but from oiher departments, | Any inspector of dumps found guilty of receiving any | carrion or deal animals is immediately discharged, the orders being exceedingly strict, The Commissiou- ers claimed that it was absurd to piace the Street | Cleaning Departinent of the city within the power of | one individual, and the law being framed with a view to | wind and tide, which uo man could foretell, delays, in- | conveniences and serious Ovstacles would be the result, | At three o'clock Commissioner Nichols and Captain Gunner and Counsellor McLean started for Fort Ham- ilion to attend the examination. SCENES AT FORT HAMILTON, Tho announcement that the dispute between the police of the two cities would culmimate in an exami- hation berore Mr. Church, Justice of the Peace at Fort Hamilton, atiracied to this place a motiey crowd, who haa supposod that a country justice knew little of Jaw, In this particwar they ‘were ail iistaken when Mr, Justice Chureh bad given his decisions. Loxpecior Waddy, of the Brooklyn Police force, was promptly at the oflice of Justice Carpenter, accompanied by Cap- tain Ritter, of the Eighth precinc q detailed by order of Chiet Campbell, trom the Eighth and Third precinets of Brookiyn. ‘At half-past four o’clock there was not a representa- tive of the New York police force preseat, with the exception of the prisoners who had been taken off the Cheney, A Mena reporter approached Inspector Waddy, who, im civilial dress, was quietly playing the part of a citizen on the ver- anda ‘ol the Justice’s office, with Assistant District Attorney Snell, us bis associate on one side, and | the drili officer 0: the Brovklyn police force on the other tlank, Waddy was uncoverea, as were ali his associates, who were in citizen’s clothes, but bebid them were determmed men, prepared to meet any hos. ile demonstration made by any reckless police officials from New York Who acted upon the simple ad- | vice of Counsellor McLean, of the New York Police Board, who every one seemed to think was responsible for the unfortunate conflict of authority between the police of the two cities, While the Assistant District Attorney, Inspector Waddy and his associates were | discussing the situation the police boat Seneca hove in | sight and boldly approached the dock. Waddy bad no aris to draw, neither had the District Attorney, 1n- ir Waddy explaining to the writer that the Bro lyn police force under tLe rules were not permitted to carry arms. Iu this dilemma there, was nothing tor a H&eRALD reporter to do but to volunteer to go down on the dock, reconnoitre and report the strengih of the enemy to Inspector Waddy, it he succeded in exes ping death at the hauds of ‘the shotted cannon that vas so long slumbered on the deck of the rotten Seneca. In imitation of Stanley the reporter leisurely proceeded 0 the deck and mot Captain Kililea, of the | Strect Cleaning Department, and one of the owners | of the tag Cheney, ‘the Brovkiyn police hud, trom tue | “overlook’’ on te heighis, ouserved that the Seneca had landed but two mon, and they at once felt reiie No hostile fleet was in the offing; no brigade had been landed to flank tho valiant sixteen commanded by tue Inspector, the man Ferguson and Cap:ain Keller, who still heid the prisoners in bis custody. Watdy wilted when the HERALD reporter, accompanied by the mild-mannered Killilea, stepped Upon the veranda and courteously remarked “Inspector Waddy, Captain Kiililea,” Tho introduction was so siinp.e that Waddy and Kil- Iilea were at once friends, aud while they were leit to settle tho differences between their roxpective com- mands the HeraLp reporter devoted his attention to more interesting natiers, THK PROCKEDINGS. Meanwhile Waddy, the Jusiice, and the Brooklyn | police were on the lookout for reintorcements via the Sencea, that hau steamed away, after, landing the two passengers, to the Staton Isiaud shor’ ihe provaili- ies of sinking Hank Smith’s old yacht, the Seneca, were freely discussed by the police vificials and tue ex- cited residents of Kings county, and the general verdict was well expressed by a young ‘fresuman’ of the force when he said in the presence of the veteran Waddy “Let 'em come! The Hopkins can sink her!”? After gas had bad fuil veut Justice Charch took bis seat, and for the frst time there was order. The jus- tice opened with the remark :— “Wil you be kind enough to fee that nobody comes inside the chairs, These,” pomting to the accused, “are the prisoners,”? Assistaut District Attorney Snell—I have received adospatch from Sr, McLean askang Your Honor to ae- lay the examination tll be arrives. dustice Church—When did you get it? Mr. Sneli--| received it down stairs just now, about four o'cioek. Justice Church—Thon I witl wait tor his arrival. | After waiting ly an hour Commissioner Nichols, Mr. McLean and Captain Gunner arrived on the tug William Parks, and at once proceeded to the court room, where their appearance was an astonishment to all concerned. Meanwhile the Justice demurely jooked ‘on and awaited the action of the representative of the Disirict Attorney of Kings county, At last Mr. Snell arose and moved tho examination. ‘This was objected to by the counsel of the New York Police Board, and argument followed as to when the examination shoud tako place, Mr. Ferguson, the shore inspector, was consulted, but neituer counsel seemed satisded. While this consultation was being held tho prisouers—Jobn Kelly, captain of the tug Cheney; Silas Peterson, gineer; Levi Brodheau, deck hand; Richard New- banks, fireman; Beruard Lynch, steward, and Robert Anderson, passenger—sat there as quiet as men could well be.” Finally, after a long conterence between counsel, the Justice decided to admit Kelly to bail in $2,000 and the others in $1,000 cach, Counsellor Mc- Lean waiving an examination, Commissioner Sidney 2, Nichola, of the Police De. partment, was present, and directed ‘the young lawyers and the young police captains of the Police Streot Cleaning Department what to dos When it became noised abroad that the counsel of the New York Police Board was tho nephew of Governor Tilden terror seemed to take possession of the entire inbabitants of the jittle hamlet, and Mr. Mclean, Commissioner Nichols, Captains Gaaner and Kiililea and other offal warriors were permitted to escape over the deck of the Cheney, which is bela by Depaty Sheri!

Comimander-in-Chiet Nichols then steamed to the New York side, discharged the newspaper brigade about halt-past scven, and, wrap. ‘og vimaecil in the shrouds, steamed Hell-Gate wards, ‘o blood was shed, no batons were drawn, uo pistols primed, no reserves cailed out! Thus ended the “second battle of Long Isiand.” WROOKLYN'S PULICR INSPRCTOR’S OPINION, A Henato report inquired of Voice Inspector George Waddy, of Brookly, what his opinion was with regard to the belligerent attitude of the New York po- lice on the Seneca in Bay on Wednesday last. tne Luspector said:—"I regurd the action of the New York Commissioners in this instance as most outrageous. 1 cunnot imagine what they meant. The thirty officers— not forty, a8 has been published—sent from Brooklyn to aid Suore lospector Fergusson, never for a moment supposed that they would be brought into confliet with New York policomen. Why, the Shore Inspector is State oflicer, and has jurisdiction over the shures of New York, Kings, Queens, Westchoster and Richmond counties, could, therefore, rightly expect the sup- port of the New York jorce, as weil if the Brookiyn fort to enforce tho law with re- tof the nuisance complained ot am glad that how/tzer was not discharged at our poheemes, They had not even pistola with thom As tho matter termivated it was a Victory for jaw and order, The prisoners were taken before a |, @urdy justice of the peace, Justice Church, of Fort Hamii- ton, Woo reused bail for tnoir future appearance.

Folk the opinion that the Brooklyn police had no necessity for ‘oing outside the city precincts on any such mission. New York has control of the waters of the harbor to high tide mark. Neither the people of Fort Hamilton nor of Coney Is'and contribute toward the maintenance of the Brooklyn Police Departmeat ANOTHER MUNICIPAL CONFLICT. ARE THE HEALTH OBDINANCES BURDENSOME TO COMMERCE?—A TEST CASE FOR SHI OWNERS. Brooklyn's Health Board claims to have the powef to compel al shipowners discharging cargoes on th® city wharves to {first obtain a permit from their buream, This right has recently been disputed on the part of New York shipping merchants, and several arrest have been made tn Brooklyn for violation of the ordere of the Health autborities in that particular, Yester: day a sult vrought by James E. Brett & Co., shipping merchants, against the Board of Health, came up is the Supreme Court before Justice Pratt, in the form of an application for am injunction to restrain the delend- ants from enforcing the permit rule, Complainants a e nee # and are evgageda in the West Ind: They allege that the action of the Health Board charge of $1 for each permit to discharge 4 cargo is illegal, and that it injuriously affects co merce, Both ‘State and national constitutions aro said to be violated by the Board. The Ship- owners’ Association is equaily interested in the case, The fact that a vessel has passed Quarantine and bas a clean bill of health should be sufficient gaar- antee, it is contended, far the discharge of the cargo ag safe ib Brooklyn, H.S. Bellow, counsel for detend+ ants, suid that tne $1 feo had been dropped and tho permits were granted free. The plaintifis could not show any case wherein equitable relief conld ve granted, and, therefore, had no standing in court in this case. The regulations of the Health Board are mere local ordinances, and are notin conflict w constitution of the United States, The ordim question 1s vot burdensome te commerce, but is a pub- he necessity for the preservation of bealth. Counse! for plainuils said Dr. Otterson, Health OMm- is a mere trespasser, and has vo right to make any ationg, as he 1s nob named in the Iegislative act constitaung the Board, and be was not elected by the people. Justice Pratt said it appearod to him that ves- had a right to unioad anywhere in New York or Brooklyn, after passing Quarantine, without mo! tion from any local board, The Court took the papers and reserved the decision. A CASE FOR INVESTIGATION. A PUBLIC THOROUGHFARE BLOCKED UP AND ANe NEXED BY A SALOON KKEPER—PASSES THROUGH, THE PLACE REQUIRED BY TAXPAYERS, An instance of glaring audacity has just come to no- tice through the agency of the indignant residents of East Sixty-ninth street. The extreme to which the au- dacity complained of has gono 1s beyond the limit attained during the days of Tweed, when even the treasure box of the city was appropriated, It appears that on the 20th of Jast May, Mr. P, Farley, a contrac- tor, completed the contract which had been made with him for opening Sixty-ninth street from Third avenue to the East River, grading and flagging tucluded. From Eastern Boulevard to the Kiver the line of the strect cut through the once famous Joties’ Wood and divided it ito equal halves, This division of course detracted from the value of the place as a pice mie ground, but Mr. ultheiss, the lessee of the placa, Doing an igenious man, Was not long im remedying the damage the tinprovement wrought, He proceeded to overcome the wiflieuity by building a fence along the line of the Eastern Boulevard, and athwart Sixty: ninth — stree tho lence he appointed — with entrances for carriage and pedestrians, establishing without a rant a toligate on @ highway tor which the people ot tne meighbor. hood had just been ed regard. ing his warrant for obstructing the road he said he had purchased the privilege tor $4,000. He refused to state to whom he bad paid y, but asgerted that lis right to the highw: lid’ by reason of purchase. Mr. William Moore, of East Sixty-ninth street, who complained of the outrage and threuteved to make a Stir if the fenco was not removed, was waited upon by on inspector of streets, who came ay an envoy from the lossee of the Woods to tender Mr. Moore and his family the street for wi h they bad been as- core naturally refused to place bitnselt ior an obligation for that to watch he had arignt, d the pass was refused, mmMunication Was seut to the Mayor on the sub- Ject tome time ago, but nothing Las been beard ir. official sources since tho letter was xubmitted, THE FREE SWIMMING BATHS. HOW THEY ARE PATNONIZED—THE MAUR AND FEMALE DaYs, The free swimming baths since their inception have becn one of the best patronized institutions under she contro! of the Board of Public Works. This sammer particulariy have they been brought into requisition, and from the time they open, at five o'clock 1m the morning, tll they close, at nine o'clock at night, they aro tullof people, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are set apart jor ladies, and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur- days for men and boys, During the season tho two bath one at the feot of Filth street, Kast River, and the other at the foot of Bethune strest, North River, have eaca accom. modated {rom 6,000 to 8,000 persons on the days set apart for men and from 1,0C0 to 3,000 on the days set apart tor women, Weduesday was nd on no day during the last two weeks numbers 0} Kast Fitth crowds of women and young iris Were waiting on the dock before tive o’clock in the morning, and de- tween that and eight o'clock over 400 had bathed and goue to their various avocations refreshed for the work of the day. All the morning a sieauy stream of matrons, with their little baskets aud reticoles in hand, containing their bathing garments, kept pouring down In the alterboon the crowd became greater, and between seveu and nine o'clock im the evening the stringpieces of the wharf were lined with women and gir's awaiting their turn. The men are allowed thirty minutes io the bath house, tweaty min: uies in the water and ten minutes to dress and undress. ‘The women cannot be hurried through #0 readily, they bave to be allowed at least three-quarters of hour, The keeper at the Fifth street bath, howevor, Mr. John Mosher, thought they had accommodated at Jeast 4,000 females from tive A. M. to pine P.M. At the’ bath foot of Bethune street, North River, about the same crowd of women were coining and going ali day; bat, as at the one on the east side of the city, the greatest number assembled between seven and pine o'clock in the even.

It was noticed that the women who frequented the North River bath were better dress. | ed and seemingly in bettercircumstances than those enjoyed the bathing privileges on the east side. was n> distinction inade at either place, how. 3 to the Visitors; all were treated alike by tenis and assistants, and with a great deal of courtesy. Yesterdsy the baths were full from early morning untilevening by ten and boys, who all appeared to appreciate the luxury of a free bath. Considering the wav these batus are patronized, it js strange thatin this hot season the Department o! Works has not hastened the batiding of the four addi. tional ones which, it was understood, wore contracted for some time ago. If there were ton or fifteen bathe even around the river front it would be none too in: to accommodate the vast population of the city. THE MUsDERED SERGEANT. CONCLUSION OF THE INQUEST—KING COM. MITTED WITHOUT BAIL. The inquest in tho ease of James McGiven, the mur dered police sergeant, was concluded yesterday mora- ing before Coroner Woltman.

Jon Turner saw OMcer Kennedy take a knile from the prisoner after his arrest, and heard the Sergeant proviously say to Kennedy, “lam stabbed; Kennedy, arrest that man." Jonn Monaghan saw King strik rgeant McGiven im the lower part of biomen, bu not see any knife. Patrick Kennedy, the officer who arrested the prisoner, said he took koife away trom him.
