ROTTEN TELEGRAPH POLES Their Removal Thronghout the City to Take Place Immediately” RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANHATTAN COMPANY Mrs, McGuire's Death Caused by One of Their Poles. WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT? —_——_——. The public indignation which has of late been 80 mach excited on the subject of the numerous dangerous telegraph poles and shade trees in this city was first @roused, as in nearty all cases of private neglect of pub_ he safety, by the death of two victims of the shocking Degligonce, The first case was that of MRS. AXN W’GUIRE, Of No, 8 Hester street Onthe morning of August 4, the day after tho fatal accident, the Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance against all dangerous telegraph Poles, and accompanied it with the following directions to Mr. Seth C. Douglass, Superintendent of the Bureau of Encumbrances :— The Commissioner of Public Worka ts directed to nouty the telegrapn companies owning the unu telegraph poles now encumbering many of the streets of this city to remove the same forthwith, and in the event of a refusal or neglect on the part of any or either of said companies to comply wigh such a notifl- cation within a period of ten days, thon that hoe cause the Superintendent of Encumbrances to remove the same, ab being both an obstruction to the free uses of our streets by the public and as being dangerous to the lives of our inhabitants. The ordinance was approved by the Mayor on the Sth inst, FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. Thus the two recommendations of the Cororer’s jury im the McGuire case were complied with, But they uso censured the owners, without being able to And out who they were, What the Board of Coroners and the select jary failed to accomplish was success- fully performed by the Heratp. On the inquest all the telegraph officials who were examined disclaimed all ownership or connection with the fallen pole. The presidents of the various companies wero interviewed, but all were equally reticent. The public were next astounded to learn that there wero thousands of poles in the city whose condition was nearly as bad as that of the fatal pole. James Crowley, superintendent of the police telegraph, made out a list of localities where the most dangerous poles wero situated. . Eleven days after Mra, MeGuire’s death a similar accident happened to Mr, Taneau at the corner of Madi- ton avenue and 124th street, The jury which was called ast Saturday to pronounce a verdict in his case, in- ‘tead of censuring the Firo Departmont fer allowing ‘he rotten old poles to stand s0 long, recommended that “greater care should be used in taking down unsate voles.” An influential member of the Fire Department writes:—‘“I regret to notice the death of Jeromiah Taneau, who died from injuries received by the falling Of the pole at 124th street, Taneau was for many years One of the attachés of the Fire Alarm Telegraph, as bollringer at the old Post Office tower. I always found him attentive to his duties and considered him ono of My most trustworthy subordinates. He was a mem- ber of the old Volunteer Fire Department, and the Scars which he bore upon his face and body were the result of injuries received in the discharge of duty. So serious wero his burns that when rescued by nis comrades from the fallen burning building, be was placed in a wagon and covered com- pletely with flour before he could be taken to the hos- Pital. It is evident that the officials of the Fire De- partment have become suddenly aware that there ‘were pumbers of the old and unsafe poles upon the up- town routes which were not included in the transfer to the Chesters, and Taneau’s death was the result of uxiety to remove them beiore public attention led to-them.’? FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY. ‘The Herp reporter, in commencing his investiga- tions as to the ownership of the dangerous poles in the city, was thwarted at every step, The first data wore furnished at the Coronor’s inquest. James wiey, Superintendent of the police telegraph, Swore that the pole did not belong to bis line. John H, Emerick, Superintendent of the fire telegraph, David H. Bates, of tne Atlantic and Pacitic and Frank- lin companies, also disclaimed its ownership. Tne Second day of tne inquest brought out testimony much more interesting. John Larressy, the first wit Fecognized the pole as belonging to the old fire an police telegraph. Mr. Charles T. Chester swore that ‘the poles of the old tire telegraph line were soid by him to Mr. W. F. Coffee, Manager of the Manhattan Tele- Graph Company. William P. Applebaugh, Superintendent of the Manhattan Telegrapt Company, said under oath:- “I a bo: aware o! the fact that the company I tepresent acquired any lines or poles from Mr. Chester. Mr. Coffee, the former superin- tendent, refused to turn over the papers tothe new Auperintendent, and is now under contempt of Court.” The truth of the matter is that ail the old fire telegraph poles were transferred by the old Fire De- rtment to Mr. Charles t. Chester. As testified to by im, he was, by the terms ol his contract, to receive in part payment all the old poles claimed by the Fire Department, and therewith undisputed right of way on wil the several routes of said poles, us also the house- top routes. Mr, Chester received from Mr. Charles L. Chap, then Superintendent of the Fire Telegraph, digrains of allsuch pole and house-top routes, anda description of all the prgperty embraced therein. A of theso papers was furnished to ¢ Department, and became part of the mentary contracts between them and 0.1. &J.N. Chester, At the Fire Department the Henaxp reporter could not find the copy. Subsequent to the trunsfer to Mr. Chester he solid tho poles, Uhrough the agency of Mr. Seidel, to Mr. William F. Coflee for the Manhattan Company Tbo Manhattan Company paid for them to Mr. Chester, thereby ac- Knowledging the owucrship of the old fre poles, ‘When the reporier spoke to Mr. Alfred Nelson, Presi- dent of the Manhattan Telegraph Company, on this Bubj>9. he replied :—“Mr. Coffee may have bought the Ol4 poles, but that qocs not prove tat we are the own- ers of them.” Mr, Nelson and Mr. Applevaugh will no doubt ve inuch enlightened to learn that their com- pany bought and paid tor the poles $750, thus acknow!- edging the ownership. THE POLES WERE UNSAPR. When the property was turned over to the Chesters the poles were mostly regarded as unsafe, and it was Bnderstood that the party who should purchase them would replace them, daly value connected poles were left standin, of way through the strects of New Yor! Aitempt being made to use them. T! Company did not repiace the old fire pol Bold to them, and thus they are responsible for any ac- tidents that have oecurred or may occur from their Reglect, The reporter, having learned all theso facts about the old fire poies and the Manbattan Company, was as much {nm the dark as ever rewarding the main question—Who is responsible for the death of Mrs. McGuire? Might not that and other similar rotten poles have no con tion with the old fire telegraph? Is it not possible that old fire telegraph poles, bought by the Manhattan Company, are sullio fectly sound condition? When tho old poles were put up there were only three lines in the city, the fire telegraph, the police tele- pee. and the American Company. When the Police partment put up its own lines they waived their Claim to the old ones in favor of the fire telegraph. The American pany sold its lines to ine Western Union, and the latter replaced the old polos by new ones. Thereiore the only old poles lett in the city were those of the freline, bought by tho Manhattan Cumpuny, and to this line the fatal polo beionged, THR ruoor OF OWNERSMTr. More direct proof was needed. At the reporter Succeeded in learning from a gentiewan Jong in the telegraph business and formerly connected with the Fire Department the fotlow ing facts; —‘*The pole on the corner of Grand and Suffolk sircets was undoubted: one erected in 1852 by Mr. Charles Robinson, who built the tirst fire alarm teleg-uph in New York and who was its superintendent until 1565, When in 1854 the Police I es were put in operation, one of its wires Until the compieiion rm System’ in 1869, the city poles. carried both fire and police wires and were considered by the telegraph officials as joint property, although subsequently the Police Dopartinent waived its claim.” Ybis, it is claimed, proves Lie Manhattan Company re- wonsible for the death of Mrs. McGuire by their care- lessness.

NEW YUKK HEKALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1876—TRIPLE SHEET. 1 tloned by Mr. James Crowley in his be to Superit tendent Walling op the 10th imst, ‘here are ut seventy in a'l, or about one-sixth of all the poles in the city, that have been reported as dangerous, according to the police reports of last Thursday, which mention 428 dangerous poles and 1,659 rotten trees, A Heratp reporter called yesterday on Mr. Seth C. Douglas, Superintendent of ‘the Bureau of Incum: brances, He stated that the telegraph companies gen- erally were obeying the new city ordinance requiring them to take down their dangerous poles, The ten days which they have to do go will expire to-morrow. After a few days of grace the Bureau of Encumvrances will remove whatever dangerons poles the companies bave neglected. THE STEPHENS-WEED CONTROVERSY. To ram Eptror ov Tux Heray:— In 1864 tho venerable Thomas Ewing jotted down some reminiscences of Clay, Webster and Zachary Tay- lor, which were afterward publizhed, 1 think, in 1869 or 1870, 1m the Cleveland Leader. The enclosed is a olip- ping vf one of these anecdotes, relative to General Taylor, which is #0 interesting in view of the discussion that has recently appeared in the Hematp between Mr. Weed, Mr. Stephens and Mr. Toombs, that I send it to you to apply to such ase as you may think proper. D. GENERAL TAYLOR. Justice to the memory of General Taylor requires that I mention one act of his which belongs to history, but whicn is buried so deep under the rubbish of de- rtaental reports that 1} will probably never see the ight. ‘The last night of the Presidency of Mr. Polk ho issued an order to his military commandant at New Mexico to surrender the country to Texas whenever the authorities of that State should demand it, This ‘was discovered by one of the members of Genoral Tay- jJor’s Cabinet some time in the latter part of the sum- mer, and bis attention called to itat a Cabinet meeting. He turned to Crawford, Secretary ot War, and said:— “Revoke the order at once, and direct the commandant to defead the country and people against all who may attack or assert dominion over them, whether Nava- jocs or Texans, until Congress or the Supreme Court shall order otherwise. ’’ The order was at once made, and I suppose made known to the Southern leaders by Mtr. Crawford. They—Toombs, St phens and others—endeavored to induce General Taylor to recal his order and restore Polk’s. This he peremptorily refused. Taney inquired of him what he would do if Texas sent an armed lorce to take possession. He suid he would defend it with all the means in bis power. Toombs, i telling this to one of bis iriends, who reported 1 to me, said:—'bo worst of it is, he will do it!’? And they’ immediately urrayed themselves with the opposition, | Tt. EWING, Lancasrer, Ohio, Feb. 16, 1864. A STRANGE STORY. RLOPED FOR EUROPE IN A SKIF¥—A SCENE IN MID OCEAN. {From the Cape Ann (Mass) Advertiser. } We have a theory that another dory beaide the Cen- tennial is attempting to make the passuge across tho Atlantic, and that this accounts for the conflicting re- ports concerning Captain Johnson, in the Centennial. The craft is of the samo gencral descrip- tion as the Centennial, and is called the Brittle, and was spoken im latitude 40 dog. 45 min., longitude 67 deg. 10 min., partialiy disabled, In support of this theory isthe statement of the master of the schooner Newport, at Windsor, N.8., from New York, whose vessel was boarded by the master of the Brittle July 16 in latitude 41 dey min., longitude 67 deg. 13 min. The captain of the New- port reports that at eleven o’clock on the morning of the 16th he sighted a ‘small boat, under sai/, about sixteen feet keel and sloop rigged. At first sight two persons were apparent, but on nearer approach one disappoared. ‘he little vessel was co.npletely decked, having but a small batchway amidships. The individual in command of the boat made a signal indicating that he wished to board us I had my vessel laid to. He came on board, made fast his line and walked rapidly aft to the quarter deck. He shook hands with mo and asked the courseté England. I told him he would never reach England in bis cockle- shell. He laughed, and said, ‘Oh, yes, he would.’ I took him to the cabin to show bim the cbart; but he ‘Was 8o nervous and excited that he appeared not to w derstand anything 1 told him. His general movements and looks were of the most suspicious character, 1 asked what he was doing so far from land in so small a bout. Hesaid that he was eight days out from New York, bad ran away and ws bound for England. He stayed on board about ten minutes, and, having shaken hands, left precipitately, and wished to be reported. He gave his name as Charles Matthoson, The boat was clinker butt. My impression at the time was that the second person was a lady, and the adventure an elopement. If they persevere in steer- ing for the British islands they will too probably spend the remainder of their honeymoon decp down under the waters of the Atlantic,” BOARD OF APPORTIONMENT. STOCKS ORDERED TO BE ISSUED—THE SUREO- GATE’S OFYICE—THE EXCISE FUND DISTRIB- UTED. A regular meeting of the above Board was held yes- terday, when a number of the city officials wero in at- tendance, as well as Gratz Nathan and ex-Coroner Fiyno. Among the officials present were Commission- er Martin, of the Park Commissioners, and Surrogate Calvin, ‘The claim of Mr. F, C, Morrison for surveying in the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards, amounting to $487 50, was referred to the Comptrolier, A communication Was received from the District Attorney giving estimates forthe ensuing year, as follow!

Surrogate Calvin appeared before the Board and read a long report irom his chief clerk, Mr. Minor, to the effect that valuable records are in jeopardy, owing to there not being sufficient clerical jorce. ‘ihe present expenses of the olfice are $42,200 for payrolls, and the Surrogate expressed the belie that with an additional appropriation of $7,500 the records could be carried up to the present time. He did not come beiore the Board to ask for such appropriation, but to state brieily the condition of one of the most important county bureaus. He had employed his sienograpber and pri- vate clerk at his own expense for some time to do this work, yet he felt it was too much to ask him to do, The Comptrolier requested Mr. Calvin to sena in a full report of the clerical force omployed in his office, their salaries and all made by him in the personnes Of the office. Mr. Lewis called up the question of distributing the surplus excise moneys and asked for immediate action. The Mayor enid that he was glad thatthe President ot the Board of Alaermen baa referred to the subject aud siated that the law did pot permit of the transfer of the fund to other objects. He asked Mr. Green to expiain why it bad not been distributed and a whispered con- sultation was had between the Mayor, the Comptrulicr and Lewis. They ugreed to call a special meeting of the Board on Fri next, when it Is expected that answers to Mr. Grecu’s circulars will have been re- ceived, and to apportion the amounts to the respective charities, THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE. All day yesterday the workmen on the New York anchorage of the East River Bridge were engaged splic- ing the wire which i# to form part of the endiess rope ‘that will stretch from the New York to the Brooklyn side of the river. Mr. J. Collingwood, the engincer, was present, and also Mr. Farrington, the superinten- dent of the wire work, The splicings were satisinc- torily completed and the sliding frames were moved back some distance, increasing the tension. Towtay the machinery on the Erouklyn side which is to work this enaless rope will be set in motion about one o'clock in the afternoon, and the rope and working ol the machinery will be thoroughly tested. On Fri- day two more wires, it is expected, will be stretched across the river, and then the perilous ride will have to be taken by the man in the cradle or buggy. This Man isto start from the Lrooklyn to the New York side, and his business will be to cat the lashings. As soon as this travelling rope is im thorough working order the business of carrying wi @ from side to side of the river will be continued with despatch asthe mate- rial is supplied under the immediate direction of dr.

PROTEST OF THE COUNCIL OF POLITICAL RE- FYORM—ANOTHER MANIFESTO IN THE DIS- PUTE OF MR. GREEN AND MR, MARTIN, The following letter was yesterday sent to the Mayor by a member of the Law Commutiee of the Council of Political Reform. The communication explains it- self:— New Yorx, August 22, 1876. To the Hon. Wittiam H. Wickuam, Mayor, &¢. :— Sim—As a member of the Law Committee of the Council of Political Reform it bas recentiy become my duty to examine the subject of the proposed Military Parade Ground. In that connection my attention has boen called to the letter of President Martin addressed to you on the 14th inst, Tt 18 a plausible bat clear attempt to evade the real issues raized by the Comptroller's letter, which it assumes to answer, and to divert attention from actual facts by denying what has not been asserted. Regard- ing the Commissiover’s interest in the proposed parade ground he says that he ‘never owned any land in the Military Parade Ground nor within dve miles of it.”” It was not charged that he did own any such land. Why deny a statoment not made either directly or 1n- directly ? He was counsel for those who did own such land: and with great zeal and untiring persistency advocat what he then deciared aud stil asserts to be their right to have the proceedings for acquiring title to the parade ground completed. He says that he had an un- questionable right as a lawyer to periorm this profes- | sional duty, Belore be became Commissioner he un- doubtedly had that right, and I do not understand that it bas ever been questioned, But it is equally clear that with his appomtment that right ceased to exist, for the very plain reason that the duty of counsel for the property owners and the duty of commissioner are necessarily inconsistent and liable to be antagonistic, ‘The real question raised, and in which the public has an interest, is Whether, Having thus formed and advo- cated most decided opmions upon this eubject, and having become profoundly interested tor his clients, whose claims are adverse to the city in this matter, he isa fitand proper person to exercise tho discretion Which the siatule originally conterred upon the Com- miasioners of Parks. Tbe zeal and solicitude which the Commissioner now shows for the property owners, and which shines out very conspicuously in hisletter, more than justities the suspicion that he has forgotten the impor/ant fact that he has no longer the right to be their counsellor and | advocate, If the Park Commissioners are thus zeaious tor the shadowy and doubttui claims of the owners of property in and around the proposed parade ground, who will guard and protect the more important and certain rights of the citizens and taxpayers who foot the bills? Unfortunately for Commissioner Martin, bis previous connection with this subject, bis official action Telating to tt and tho tone and substunce of nis letter ali tend to the conciusion that in his case the zeal of the advocate has swallowed up and devoured the judg- ment of the commissioner and all sense of official re- sponsibility, Surely the policy und letter of the law which exclude advocates from ucting judicially in any matter in which they have been engaged as counsel aro tully justified, It 18 unfortunate for the city that the same provi- sions of the statute do not app y to the Park Commie- stoners. In his zeal for the property owners he com- mits several very grave errors which, ina lawyer familiar with the subject as he is, are unpardonable. He says that when he became Commissioner ‘the ques- tion was whether the proceedings should be discon- tunued,” whereas the proecedings had been discon- tinued by resolution of the Board of Park Commis- sioners passed on tho 19th of January, 1874, and this tion of the Park Commigsioners had been pronounced valid by tho Supreme Court at Special and General Term, William R Martin appearing us counsel tor the property owners (2d Huus Reports, 374). On appea! to the Court of Appeals the decision of the General Term was subsequently affirmed without dissent (60 New York Reports, 319). In construing and applying the statute relating to this subject the Court of Appeals #4, “Title was to be acquired * * * whenover tho Commissioners should deem it for the public imtercst to do so, within two years from the filing of the map,” and again, “unless SUE Bonne was exercised within two years It was at an end.” Notwithstanding these decisions Commissioner Mar- tin has ever since his advent to office been engaged in persistent efforts to initiate new proceedings and carry them through to completion. The application now bé- fore the Court is made in such atten pted new proceed- ings instituted more than two years attor the fling of the map, and one of the vital questions to be cons'd- ered by the Court will be whether such new proceed- ings are valid. Again, the Commissioner says that “the land has been condomued to the public use,” The Court of Ap- peals says Phe discontinuance of the proceedings renders the act (chapter 628 Laws of 1871) of no effect, and the owners are restored thereby to tne same posi- tion which they originally bad.” Coanselior Martin tried to convince the Court that the land had been condemned to public use, but failed utterly, Commissioner Martin now contradicts the Court and strives to overrule it, all in the interest of the property owners, The public would like to know who are his con- stituents. Again he says:—‘If we were requested or had the power to reverse our action {rom the be- ginnmg and to recall the map, a different case would bo presented.” ‘A different ca: ie presented. The Park Commissioners did, on the 19th day of January, 1874, reverse their action from the beginning, and the Court of Appeals decided such reversal legal and effectual. Whether the map be recalled or not is of no couse- quence. Alter the discontinuance of all proceedings 1t became void and of no effect, and in no manner or degree impaired the title of tho owners. The decision of the Court of Appeals conclusively sustained this statement. Again, the Commissioner says ‘the law made it our = to go forward, and we had no other course.’” ere 18 nothing ‘mandatory in the law of 1871. is simply an epabling act giving pow: out and acquire ttle to land for a para: | If the Commissioners, tn the exercise of sound dis- | cretion, deemed it necessary and for the public good, they were given power to proceed, but i they did not deem such parade ground necessary or required by the public interest, they could omit to proceed without any violation of duty. This 18 the plain intent ofthe statute, and it admits of no other construction. Again be says:—'‘lt is true that the Legislature has more than once refused to en- vertuin applications to repeal this law or change the site. The Commissioner should have stated that such re- fusal was given in every instance at the earnest re- these same property owners whose cause ho asly pleads, Who are now s0 anxious to be de- spoiled of their property that whenever it was pro- posed to repeal this law they rushed to Albany, ey | and in squads, to oppose in person and by counsel suc! repeal. Ii, a8 the Commissioner alleges, these owners “were placed in a position of injury and injustice,” they had only to remain quiet and to aliow the act to be repealed, and they would have been speedily re- heved jrom any supposed burdens imposed upon them by the or any action taken under it, the filing of the map included. That was just what they did not desire. On the contrary, they were and are resolutely fighting to compel the city to take the land and pay for it. Wiliam K. Martin, in and out of oifice, has done all that lay in bis power to wid them in accomplishing this result, He knows where his in- terest lics and whether he 1s injuring or promoung it. The whole scheme is a bold attempt to compel the city to purchase at large expense property which it does not need and has no use for and which it is in no con- dition financially to pay for or improve or care for when purchased. kyen Commissioner Martin, its most strenuous defender, can urge bo public necessity in its support, but is compelied td fall back and rest upon the pretended rights of the property owners, which bave no existence in law or fact. He may very well entertain all the solicitude about public opinion on this subject which his letter exhibits. Very re- spectiully, EDWARD FITCH. THE SEA CLIFF SCANDAL, The examination in the case of William R, Depny, of Sea Clif, Long Island, charged. with an attempt to Dlackrnail Mr. David Pyatt, a grocer of the same placo was continued yestervay before Justice Murray, in the Tombs Police Vourt, Mr. Boyd moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground, first, that the Court had no jurisdiction, as the law reads that where threatening Jetters are written and mailed in one county and directed to and received by the person to whom they are addressed in another county the indictment for sending such letters should be foand in the latter county; second, that the law only covers cases of sending jetters in which threats arc made to aceuso any person of any erime orto do any injury to the person or property of any one with a view to extort » y from them. Counsel held that the threat con- tained in the letter in question was one to accuse the complainant of adultery, bat that adultery is not an offence or a crime, either by common or statute law in the State of Now York. The case was adjourned until the above pomts can be sub:nitted to the District Attorney.

THE COMMISSIONERS OF CHARITIES MOVB AGAINST THR COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRA- TION—8TATE ACTION VERSUS CONGRESSIONAL INACTION, It was expected that before adjournment Congress would hi made suitable provision for the care and protection of aliens landing in ports of the United States, The decision of the Supreme Court denied to State authorities the power of collecting head tax on emigrants, and by this one stroke the functions of the New York Commissioners of Emigration were brought in point of fact to a termination, and the federal au- thorities, according to the opinion of the bighést tribunal in the nation, were bound to step in at once and take their place, Accordingly bills were intro- duced providing for the establishment of a Bureau of Emigration in the Treasury Department, and there seemed to be no doubt that the change, in many respects beneficial, would be easily and satisfactorily effected, It also seemed likely that a matter which had for a long time been a subject of much bad feeling in the Western States toward New York would be re- moved, for it must be remembered that Indiana, Wis- consin, lowa, Obio and Iilinois have always objectod to the collection of a head tax on passengers from Europe in (ransitu through this State, who alter leaving {ts borders never afterward became in any way a burden or expense toit, The benefits of the commutation fund were only available to such emigrants as remained within the limits of New York, while the tax was collected from all who landed at Castle Garden, no matter where their destination. In tho bills submitted to Congress amplo provision was mado for renting or building docks «nd landing places in the several ports of the Uaited States where emigrants in Jarge numbers arrive, and tn the case of New York it wus woll understood that Bedioe’s Island would be very cheerfully given up by the War Department as a depot to supply the place of tue one on the Battery which it was proposetl to abandon, A head tax wus alsoprovided for, to be paid by the owners of the passenger suips auld no matter Iv what ts ro. quired aid the fund created was open for their relict. THE STATE BKCOMIS KESPONSIILK, Tuo New York Commissioners of Emigration, who at this ume were deeply involved in debt—the Valuable property (purchased by the money coilected trom alien passengers) heavily mortgaged and al! possible sources of revenue cut olf without a chance of be:ng restored. instead of shaping their action to suit the altered nd ition of aifairs, turned all their euer- gies to procure a continuance of their supervision over foroign arrivals. Insolvency was admitted, but, as they it would be to exer- some’ gort of protection over emigrants tho transter from State to federal As they wore willing to assume this business, bankrupt as they were, there was uo special objection. Before anything like sufficient time for Congress to act had elapsed the Commissioners succeeued tu baving an act passed iv the Legislature appropriating $200,(00 from the State Treasury for its benctit, and this heavy burden on the taxpayers of the State seems to been only a means toward defeating or postponing ressionat action, The law in question was approved y Governor Tilden, May 15, last. By it the Comp- trolier was autborized to draw warrants on the Treas- urer when presented in favor of the Commissioners of Emigration for such amounts as they may from time to time require for the purpose of paying current ex- penses during the year commencing Muay 1, 1876, which shall not exceed in the aggregate $200,000, but when any appropriation shail be made by Congress jor the purpose mentioned no more money Was to be paid under the act, Detailed accounts of expenuitures are required to be presented, veritied by the oaths of a majority of the Commissioners, before auy money can be paid, which in no case can excoed the sum for which the detailed account is presented. This act, passed over three months ago, and under which the Com- mission has mavaged to struggle aiong, relieved Con- gress, as probably intended, of any pressing obligation to Move on (be bills before it. At all events, Congress hus adjourved leaving tho Commissioners im charge and justly ‘cise said, necessary | going deeper into debt BATTERY PARK AGAIN. It has been before stated that the Commissioners of Emigration obtained possession of Castle Garden as the result of @ bargain with certain railroad compa- nies, who were to enjoy a monopoly of the sale of tickets to passengers The transaction by means of which they estabi'shed themselves at the Battery was designed to systematically aud continuously wrong the inexperienced and contidtug strangers who landed there, and uot to serve them. The Commissioners still desire to remain there, though they cannot pay rent for the premises, interest on their mortgages, or pos- sibly meet “carrenp” expenses for the support of Castle Garden and the institutions on Ward’s island on the $200,000 the Legislature has appropriated for the year ending May 1 next, In any view of the situation their first duty ia tu retrench. Tn their present sit- nation they can no more pay $10,000 a year rent for Castle Garden than they can pay $100,000, and as tho United States is willing, according to good authority, to give Bedioe’s Island or some other suit- able pot for a landing place, there is neither sense nor reason in the Board persisting in the attempt to render valueless one of the most beautiful of the public grounds of which New York can boast, The Board of Aldermen has practi- cally decided that {t has no control over the renting or leasing of CastieGaraen. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, consisting of the slayor, the Recorder, the Comptroller and the Chairman of the Finance Com- mitteo of the Beard of Aldermen, possess, it seems, authority to permit or disaliow ‘the Ewigrant Com- mission to remain at the Battery. NEW TROUBLES. ‘The threatened proceedings at law by the Commis- sioners of Ubarities and Correction against the Emi- grant Roard for the recovery of the amount due for the support of sick and indigent aliens, wili add to the em- barrassments of the latter and drive ft still further to- ward the wall, There is hardly a county in the State that has not imiiar claim to that urged by New York, and the aggregate now due to hospitals, poorhouses and other eleemosyuary institutions cannot fall much below 100,000, To meet these obligations, which, aa the law now stands, are constantly increasing, tne Com- missioners have, 8 stated, and as should be kept in mind, no present or prospective means. The only thing that rewains ts the b ly mortgaged property on Ward's Inland, which is getting day by day more deeply encumbered. ' It would really seen to be the height of absurvity to continue at Casile Garden a rystem that is already eating up the assets of the Commission, which might prove hereafter of use to the class of people who coutributed to their purchase; but against any yielding to ihe necessities of ibe situation and the bankruptcy that stares them in the face the Commissioners cling to — shadow of power when its substance has all van- ishe THE SINKING PUND COMMISSIONERS. At present the Commissioners of Emigration possess avery precarious kid cf existence. Their only rev- enue Is from tho State, and itis entirely inadequate for their parposea, Every day they go deeper and more Irre- trievably into debt and prot the early alienation of the entire property on Wara’s Island. The Commission- ers have so far continued to arrange matters as to con tinue in office, though having really no legitimate rev- enue and have made emigration an unnecessari!y heavy burden on the people of the State. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States settled the law in the matter forever. Their effure to mjure the public by destroy ing the value of the purk at the Battery should not be tol The joners of the Sinking Fund have, it seers, accorded permission to repair (he damage done at Castle Garden by the late fire inorder that the Bmi- gration Board may continue it as a landing depol. This decision seems at the very least hard to understand. Vitu the exception of a few interested parties in the | First ward the public generally and the press of the city favored its removal. The Board im any event can- not remain atthe Battery much longer, for when the $200,000 State appropriation is exhausted thero is no prospect of more money being forthcoming. It is not Hkely that a heavy tax will be imposed on the people of New York for a purpose fa!ling under federal con- tro! and which the federal government will no doubt assume soon after Congress reassembles in December. The whole matter shows in a strong light with what tenacity the Commissioners of Emigration cling to office. A SHOPLIFTER'S STORY. About three wecks ago a valuable clock, worth $300, was stolen by a shoplifter from the establishment of 0. L. Sypher & Go., No. 593 Broadway. Yesterday morning @ woman whom Peter Fanning, acierk, re- cognized as having seen before, entered the store, and, after making some inquiries as to the price of various articles of virtu, left, Immediately on her departure Fanning missed a bronze statuette of Mercury, vaiued at £45, He ran Into the street and followed the woman to Washmgton squaro, where she sat down on a bench. Fanning then bad her arrested by Othcer McGuire, of the Fifteenth precinct, and the sto! was found under her linen travelling un being arraigned = before Justice. Duty, the Washington Piace Police Court, yesterday, jd her name was Carrie Caldwell, thirty years her Bhi old, a sebool toacher in Kansas City, Mo., whe! husband resides, She said she came on East to see the Centennial with some trends, who have returned nd that she had not a frien im the city.

She was taken to Police Hend- quarters and refused to allow ber picture to be taken. Captain Van Dusen, of the Fifteenth precinct, says she is “a professioual.”” . THIEVES WHO DID NOT ESCAPE.

THE ASSESSMENTS OF CHARITABLE IN- STITUTIONS. The different benevolent societies of this city seem to have interminable trouble about their assessments, the city continually insisting on assessing their prop- erty, and the societies as continuously resisting the validity ot such assessments. On application on be- half of the Hebrew Beneyolent Orphan Asylum and several similar societies, a reference was recentiy ordered bythe Supreme Court to examine into the cases with a view to laying before the Court the full facts, A motion was made yesterday before Judge Donohue, by the Corporation Counsel, to vacate this order of reference, It was urged on the ground that the matter could be determined without entailing on the city the expense of a reference. Judge Donohue suid that, in his opinion, the proper department could in afew minutes, by examming its records, determine the validity of the disputed assessment. It is unnec- essary, he added, thatthe court calenders shouid be clogged with hundreds of such cases. In saying this, however, be did not intend to reflect on the Cc Counsel, who, he understood, was subject to the orders of unother department, Ife took the papers, stating that he would examine them ava render a speedy decision.

During the discussion, on’ Tucsday, as to the propriety of a re- ward being offered by the Board of Supervisors for in- formation leading to the arrest and conviction of the gulity party, ove of the jurymen remarked that he did hot sve the necessity of offering a reward whch the gulity party was already in custody. ‘The large crowd present at the inquest on Monday expected that the woman would be present, and « considerable namber of them, it subsequeutly became known, came there with the purpose of lynching her. They bed a rope iu read! ness and proposed to take her forcibly from the officers and hang her to the sign at the ratiroad cross- ing near the Valley Stream depot, This unlawful pro- ceading, however, was anticipated dy the autbornics, and they prudently kept the snpposed murderess safely locked up in her cell at Jamaica. Sho will prob- ably be present for examination at tho next session of the inquest, however, when measures will be taken to insure her safety should there be any attempt to 1n- terfere with the proper course of the law, Itts unde: stood that there is already ovner evidence against Ki of a damaging character, mcludicg expressions almost tantamount to admissions, made in the presence of vustice Bennett, whose testimony has not yet been heard before the Coruner. But had the case gone to the jury on Tuesday there is no doubt that Kate would have been held tor the action of the Grand Jury. GAMBLERS AT ROCKAWAY BEACH. Sherif Sammis, of Queens county, yesterday dis, charged all the deputy sheriffs ‘appointed for duty on Rockaway Beach. The hotel proprietors refused to pay for their services, complaining that they afforded no protection to their gucsts or property, The complaint appears to be well jounded, as the gambiers have everything pretty mach their own way. John Dickerson, William Mead aud James Baucher, three-card monte players, arrested on the beach near the Seastie House, at Rockaway, by Officer Smith, were yesterday arraigned before Justice haw at Ja: maica and sentenced to sixty days’ imprisonment in the County Jail. 4 MAN OF MANY WIVES—A CUBAN WHO GOkS ABOUT, GAYLY DECEIVING, BROUGHT FACE TO FACE WITH THE LAW.
