Expense of the First Broadway Widening. ————— There seems very little prospect that the long con- Mnued litigation in rogard to the proposed military | PI parade ground above High Bridge will very soon reach @ termination in the courts, In the Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, belore Judge Donohue, there was & large attendance of counsel representing property owners interested in the matter, and there secmed every prospect of a lively legal discussion upon an ap- Plication which it was understood would bo made by Corporation Counsel Whitney on behalf of the depart- ments of Parks and Public Works for leave to acquire title to the land to be used for the parade ground. In- stead, however, of making such application Mr, Whit ney mercly handed in the formal petition and then asked for an adjournment, He stated that he bad just received a letter from Commissioner Campbell to the effect that as now advised be could not now take any eteps inthe matter, Mr, Whitney then went on to say that he was counsel for both departments, and he con- sidered that statement to be a practical suspension ot bis authority to go on until the Commissioners express a desire one way or the other in regard to it, lt imight be that at this stage of the the Commis sioners might not deem it de stop the w He, thereiore, asked for an adjourament for twenty: four bours until he could obtain the Anal decision of | Commissioner Campbell, There was no opposition to | the application for adjournment, and Judge Donohue thereupon adjourned the case’ unt this morning. | The proposed location of the parade ground was | selected undor the laws of 1871, The law authorized | the location to be made by the major gen- eral of the Eighteenth division, Nattoual | and the ark Commissioners, who on Apri filed their map. Application was then made aud three | Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment were duly appointed. Before the Commissioners’ report was coa- Pleted the Park Commissioners, in January, | passed a resolution discontinuing pre | In the matter, The case wus then brought be Court on wpplication of the owners of la the site selected, and in the vicinity, to lotion of their report by the Lawrence denied this appl in J 1574, the Court of Appeals on appeal held una that the Park Commissioners bad the right to « Nnue proceedings. The Commissioners were the: discharged, and in March, 1875, at the instance of tne Park Commissioners, a new application was made which fell through for technical detects. They newed the appli in May succeeding, Application ix now pending belore the Court, those present yesterday waa Mayor Wickhain. | A COUNTY LIABILITY, The suit of John L. Dodds against Platt county, Missouri, was yesterday decided in the Supreme Court of this city. It was brought on forty-four semi- annual coupons of twenty-two $1,000 bonds, bearing interest at ten per cent, issued by the County Judge of Piatt county, Missouri, on behalf of the county, under a law authorizing the:n on the asseut of a majority of the taxpayers within a cortain stmp of that county to issue such bonds to the extent of $50,000, 1 aid of the Chicago and Southwestern Railroad Company. The defence was that the law was not sully complied with; pel a com: Judge that it 1s oot a liability on the whole county, but, by a proceeding of the Court under which they Were issued, are made chargeabie y on aportion of the county. The matter was relerr ph Bosworth, who | finds that while the railroad company knew the terms under which the bonds were ed the plainuff and those he represents are innocent holders, without knowledge, and that the county is therefore bound by the terms’ of the written paper. The referee gives judgment for plainuff in the sum of $2,610 49 The coupons ure payable atthe Bank of New York. The report was coniirmed by the Supreme Court, and judg- ment entored accordingly. THE ST. MARK OUTRAGE. The examination in the case of Captain J. 8. Grindle, @f the American ship St, Mark, who is accused by his cook and carpenter of using cruel and unusual punish. ment to a sailor called “Long Yom,” which resulted inthe man’s death, was resumed yesterday before Commissioner Shields. Skinner, the cook, was again Placed on the stand, and was severely examined by Grindle’s counsel, Uut his testimony Was unshaken, Ho ewore that when the captain was told that “Long Tom’ was dead he gave orders for him to be hove overboard, The captain Was at the table at the time, with his wife and the mate, lioner, A fow day belore the man’s death he was ted up der of Cap- tain Grindle, and the next day he was whipped by the gapiain himselt was asked if he know if tb ent action wi ht to make thee ey, and if not know that he wo paid for giving his te He answered that he did not kuow the difference between a civil anda trimimal acon, but that he had heard he would re- ceive pay during bis detention as a witness, ‘here Was no funeral service over the body of “Long Tom,” or of the others who died on board sip, He never had apy conversation With Captuun Grindie about any of the alleged cruelties, At this point the examination was adjourned until next Monday, FIRST BROADWAY WIDENING. As the case stands, the opposition interposed to pay ment to Charles G Connell and James B. Nicholson, Commissioners for the first Broadway widening, their Dill of costs, including the expenses resulting from the eppoiptiment of surveyors and clerks, the whole alto ciber amounting to $165,682 40, has entailed a pretty avy additional burdeu Upon the city.

HABEAS CORPUS C Anpio Nelson, a girl sixteen years ot age, charged with abducting two young flower girls and taxing them to a house of {ilfame in Bleecker street, was yesterday brought before Judge Donohue on a writ ot habeas corpus, «ued out by William F. Howe, her coun- sel. It was claimed that there was no evidence to | show that the house in question was a disreputable house, or that the prisoner induced the girls to enter | the piace with any evil desigok Judge Donohue said | poght there was enough to justily the Police | m committing the « but he reserved | hve decision on the mowoa to discharge, Before the same Judge aud upou a similar writ, pro cured by Mr. Howe, applicavion way made yesterday for the discharge of Jolin Doe, arresed tor being found fm company wit) a man whe fad robbed a jowelry store, the jaiter beiug well knowa to the police under various atlases, 1t being shows that there was no con- cert of wetion between the two parties the prisoner was discharged. NOT PROVEN, In the Court of Special Sessions yesterday John Payne was arraigned before Judges Duffy, Moigan and Murray, on compiaint of John Belmascon), alias “Gari- baldi,” alias “Napoleon,” proprietor of the Garibaldi House, at the corner of Fourth and Greene streets, who | eharged him with abstracting twenty-one cents trom the money drawer, behind the bar in the above house, The prisoner denied the allegation, sud stated that be | was not beliind the bar at any time Counsellor Pr Who appeared tor Payne, qaestioned Mr. Belmascon| | &s to the character of the house he kept, and he denied | @hat 1b was dicreputabie in any way. Oficer Warren, | of the Fifteenth precinct, who made the arrest, | was thon called and questioned as to the char: acter of the complainati. He answered that it was | pretty good, and stated that he had never see thing wrong about the piace. Justice Morgan den stated that if be did not kuow 7 , although he as an ofiicer of the police force for four years, 8 agistrate, eitting On the bench, knew Belmascont as ome of the worst charactors that could be found in the Fifteonth precinct.

Un hearing this direct contradic. fou of his former testimony Justice Murray asked | under its g him why he did not say this at first, He replied:— “Because 1 was not under oath.” iis Honor at once ordered him to step down, as he did not wish any more of his evidence.

RECORDER HACKETT ON THE WARPATH—THE SINKING FUND COMMISSION SHOULD DIS- POSSESS THE F MIGRANT COMMISSION, In the meeting of the Sinking Fund Commisson, after all the routine business had been disposed of, | Recorder Hackett rose, and drawing a paper from an envelope read in a clear and impressive voice the foi- | lowing preamble and resolutions :— Whereas the city park known as the Battery, came with its water front into the possession and ownership ol the city | ngee to always use it for a place of public re- usemnent and recreation; aud whereas very large i money have been expended in adorning and beautie it for such purposes; and whereas with the exception jew interested emigrant boarding honse landlords tn the ward and other persous thereabouts who have loudly de Fark should he completely restored to its aforesaid real and whereas by the fortunate destraction of tie old shods and dilapidated erections formerly known as the emi- grant buidaings, and any lease which 'y is now offered to fon refuse any Batrory front | minissioners, | mptrolier to tuke all | thorefrom, to the end overing control of Castle | Garden, say either beautily and adorn its area, or rent it to such parties as may keep and preserve it fur purposes of public eajoyment. The resolution caused quite a sensation in the Board. opposed it, and insisted that Casile nly proper place on the island for the tion andshipment of emigrants. He moved that the resolution be referred to a spectal commitice, con sisting of the Mayor aud Compirolier, The Recorder defended the resolution, and declared as a lawyer that tho commission could be dispossessed by the Corporation Counsel at any time, He insisted that Ward’s Island was the proper piece for the management of the emi grants arriving here, and that the time bad come when | the taxpayers of the city should re-enter into posses- sion of their property. In answer toa question from Mr, Reilly the Re corder stated that ‘as opposed to the occupancy of the Battery by the Elevated f ibe Comptroller asked that tho ree derman Keilly baving withdrawn his resolution of ref- erence the resolution was laid over, and hereby author measures t IS THERE A WALTER FAMINE? FACTS OF INTEREST TO INSUBANCE COMPANIES AND HOUSE OWNERS. Many weeks ago the Henatn editorially indicated that there was great scarcity of water and that a fam. tne was imminent. Reporters havo almost daily vis. ited the office of Commissioner Campbell, and con- versed with the engineers in charge, and on each visit the official seen ridiculed the tea as absurd.

DEPREDATIONS OF HIGHWAYMEN ON THE ROAD BETWEEN HUNTRE'S POINT AND ASTORIA. “The nearer the church, the farther from God,” so the nearer the great city, the farther from its influence and ita knowledge. The force of the apothegmatic re- mark 18 to be found In the fact that Long Island City— Just across the East River—has recently been the scone of many outrages, the like of which are unknown in he most dangerous quarters of the metropolis. Some of these outrages would more fittingly grace the sanguinary record of some border town than the columns of a paper issued at a centre of civilization, 1t seems strange that within rifle shot of New York city no means can be devised to prevent the recurrence of footpad escapades which would do honor to the epoch of Jack Sheppard and Dick Turpin. The model police of Long Island City—blessed as it is with two distinct governments—eecms insufficient, or better, inefficient to suppress the outrages complained of, It may, perhaps, be owing to the decen- tralizing influences of two separate governments that the police ure not able to perform that for which the taxpayers are assessed. The protection to “life, liberty and property” given in this portion of Long | Island is not sufllcient to warrant citizens going abroad | unarined. THE FACTS. In support of these general deductions it is only nec- sasary to give one week's history of the doings of high- waymen on the road between Hunter’s Point and As- toria, On Tuesday night a day laborer returning from his work, can in hand, was accosted or the highway by three rufflans who, in dramatic style, demande his money or his life. "The unfortunate man had just been paid, and delivered up his wages as the price of his life, and was allowed to go unmolested, Of this little occurrence the police are still in blissful ignor- auce and, of course, no attempt has ever been made to arrest the robbers. SECOND OUTRAGE. On Wednesday night of this week, the night suceeed- ing this ontrage, another as dastardly was perpetrated almost on the scene of the former occurrence. The affur of Wednesday night was of a double barrelled character, as the robbers on this occasion succeeded ‘in killing two birds with the one stone. It appears from the statements of those who participated in the amusement of that evening that a pumober of roughs, in Ught trouser with elaborate spring bottoms and Derby hats, som thing after the style of our medel police, wero seen stending im the neighborhood of the grocery store of Beebe Brothers, just below the steamboat tanding at Astoria, " The gentleman who first noticed tnis forbidding coterie was John Clark, afarmer who came to the neighborhood for the pur- se of having a bath, Noticing the ruillans in ques- aed it inadvisable to leave bis clothes , and so sat down upon a weed-covered k to watch their movements Perceiving thas they were watched the rowdies moved down the road and were soon lost to the sight of Mr. Clark bebind an intervening blu, Thinking they had gone he proceeded to disrove and ‘ng removed the last garment, he was suddenly sur- prised by the unannounced appearance of two of the men been watching, who declared their intention of nying him during his swim. Feeling uneasy, he moved cautiously in the direction of his clothes, when one of the men hit him upon the head with a pistol and felled him to the sand. They then took $3) from his pocket, and, while one held guard over bis prostrate’ form, the other went to join his confréres about 100 yards distant, where a concerted attack was made upon the store of Beebe Brothers. Mr. Edward Cobo, who was closing the store at the time, bravely tought the ruflians off and catled alond for help, which soon ar- rived, and the depredators dispersed, A pulico ofilcer, true to the traditional customs of blue coats and brass buttons, arrived on the scene just subsequent to this occurrence, and was enabled to give gallant chase after lighting a lantern and making other elabo- raté preparations. Needless to gay the ironical Diogenes failed to discover the naughty men, and they escaped, per testimony of a schooner captatn, in a yaw! to Yorkville. THD OUTRAGE, On Thursday evening, tho august person of an ex- Alderman named William Carlin, was unceremoniously handied by a party of footpads almost on the site of the outrage of the previous evening. Tho porson of this ex-functionary was put astride—Bob Ridley hke—a rail, Whiie on this undignified perch tho playful gen- tlemen extracted what is known asa ‘saw buck” from his pocket. In other words, a $10 note. SUGGESTIONS TO TILE POLICE, In nono of these cases have arrests been effected, nor are they likely to be, for several of the gallant officers in blue and brass regalia baye been chase from Dutch Kills into the very police station by rowdies whom they have attempted to ar- rest, With such gallant defenders of the public peace as these what courtesy may not bo expected from enterprising footpads? It would be welt for the police authorities to huve this road upon which outrages are 50 frequent well patrolled and allow the trees and barmiess park wails in the untrequented por- tions of the district to take care ofthemseives, If any fear 18 entertained that these useiul pubitc servants may be killed off let them be displayed in separate columns to protect one another, THE DRAWBACKS OF EMINENCE, A SYSTEM OF ESPIONAGE EXERCISED OVER DON CARLOS—HE ASKS THE PROTECTION OF THE counrs, Since the arrival in this country of Don Carlos, the Spanish Pretender, be has been stopping at the Wiud- sor Hotel, in this city, with his suite Two weeks ago a man applied for a room to Mr. Waite, one of the pro- prictors of the hotel, but did not receive it He was recognized by Mr, Waite as a private detective in the employ ot Henry Davies, Jr,, agent of the Spenish government in this city, Mr. Waite did nov at the time think that the detective’s desire to become a quest of his bad anything to do with Don Carlos or his suite, but he is now satisfied of the fact, About the same timo, that is two weeks ago, the Prince began to feel aunoyed by a system of espionage which four Sirange men kept constantly over him. No matier whether 1t Was on foot or inacoach that he leit the hotel, he was followed by one or two of these men, who always came from Van Clann’s lager beer saloon, on the corner of Forty-fifth street and Filth avenue. The police officer stationed at the hotel wag firat noti- fied of the fact, and by his advice Inspector Thorne was informed of the annoyance of which the Prince com Yesterday the Inspector sought the assist- ance of Judze Kasmire, at ihe Fitty-seventh: Street Court, The luspector said that Don Carlos was ready tomake a complaint against the four spies, whose names were Van Zandt, Taylor, Billy and Mohiman, aud Were undoubted'y in the employment of tne mau Davies, before aliuded-to, Judge Kasmire agreed to visit Don Carlos at his hotel after court hours, which he did; but the Don ting him’ audience in person sent his secretary to say to the Judge that friends bad advised bim not to make a compiaint; that it would only aflord his enemies an opportunity of saying that he was a coward, ant at bis fears were only the results of an overexcited imagination, Judge Kasmire told Mr. Waite, who acted as interpreter, to say to the sec- retary that in leaving his court to uttend a matter of public importanee, he was doimg an act very unusual with him or any other justice in this country. He did itas an act Of couriesy to a stranger in trouble, but the Prince if be wished him to take any official action ia his behalf wouid have to appear before him in person, Tie secretary explained that the Prince's inteution was to come in person as svon ag an Ameri- can gentieman—Mr. Dana, of the Sun—sbould con- clude bis mterview with bim, Mr Daua was the per- ron, it Was understood, Whose advice was not to cause the arrest of the parties cowpiained of, Tho secretary then left, and in a jew minutes Don Carlos himeeif en- tered Mr, Waite's private office. He was smnok- ing a cigar and cordially saluted ail present. dudge Kasmire told Mr. Waite then to ask the Prince if his wish was to make a com- plant against any one, The Princo replied that he thought it betier not at present, He was not afraid of those persons, but it was very annoying to him to be do; ged like u criminal everywhere he went fe sion, besides, of appearing in a matter of aiure before the public in a court room. mire said that be need not appear belore the pablie and that the matter could be examined in hi rivate room at the Court House at atime to suit the yrince’s convenience. ‘Tho detecmination of the Prince not to make a com- plaint was Sxed, and it was finally arranged that the future eafety of the would-be Spanish monarch while in this city should be Jett im the hands of Inspector Thorne, and that if he were further annoyed the offending parties should be arrested at once and tal to court.

James Murphy Executed Yesterday at Dayton, Ohio A MURDER AT A WEDDING PARTY, Confession of the Crime and the Warning of the Condemned, Daytow, August 25, 1876, James Murphy was executed hero this afternoon for the murder of Colonel Dawson, on the evening of August 31, 1875. Every effort was made for a repriove, but it was of no avail, A final attempt was made yesterday, tho members of the Darke County Bar, in the sare judicial district, telegraphing to Governor Hayes saying they believed the prisoner entitled toa delay of sixty days. The Governor replied that he could do nothing in the absence of a request from Judge Eiliot and the pros- ecutor; but they declined to interfere, Yesterday afternoon his father, brother and two sisters gathered around him in a group, and, with bis little sister on his knee, he conversed with thom for the last time on earth, Their parting was most touching, After the family left he sent for the Sheriff, to whom hy signified a desire to make a confession of the crime, He also expressed a desire to see his attorneye, and upon their appearance he gave to tnem an account of the murder In his confession be said:— “I have killed Colonel Dawson; whiskey apd bad company have been the rujnation of me and the cause of all my bad luck.”” At ten o’clock A. M. the Rev. Father Murphy, pastor of St. Joseph’s Cathoho church, received the confession of the penitent, which is requisite to the celebration of the mass. During the mass holy communion was administered, and the reverend father addressed the condemned man. At the conclusion of the mass Murphy retired and two sisters of charity re- mained with the prisoner until noon, THR EXXCUTION. Tho city of Dayton revelled to-day in {ts fourth exe- cutton, There were about fitty persous present including members of the pross; besides these were a special de- tailot twenty-four police and the official attendants. His brother and sisters took a final leave of him a tit- tle before one o'clock, but his father remained to the last. His passiveness was retained throughout; his time was parsod with but few words of conversation, but he smoked with grout vehemence. At one o’clock the father of the condemned man en- tered the jail and attempted to see his son, but was intercepted by the Sheriff, who, after quite a struggio with him, forced him away. Precisely at half-past ‘one o'clock the doomed man, led by the Sheriff, as- cended the platform, w.th the clergy, and then s: “Gentlemen—I told a lie in the Court Hou about ‘Treddon, saying he was guilty. I think 1 am guilty. 1 return thanks to tho Sheriff, and I forgive all my ene- mies and ask jorgiveness, Any one bere who has hard feelings against me, I ask their forgivenesa This ts my last request, gentlemen, and I want all young men to tako warning from me. [f I had lived as I should I shouldn’t be here. Drink and bad company have brought me hero; and I ask the pardon of Mrs. Dawson, whom, m passion, I have injured. I believo Jesus Christ will save me,” i The Sheriff then read the warrant and shook Hands with Murphy. The cap wus placed over his head and Father Murphy read the service of the Catholic Chareh, The drop was shpped by the Sherif, when the rope, which was half an inch in diameter, snapped and the prisoner fell to the floor. At eighteen minutes to two o'clock he was carried up to the scaffold, ard on reach- ing the trap he asked, What are you going to do with me??? A heavier ropo was hastily procured, anda second time the noose was adjusted, the cap drawn over the head andthe trap sprung, At eight muin- utes to two o'clock be foll with a thud, re- maining motioales: for a few seconds, ‘then after struggling for perhaps threo minutes ceased, and hung limp and apparently dead.

HISTORY OF THE MURDER. ‘On the evening of Tuesday, August 31, 1875, a party was given by Jolin Nieneber in honor of’ the marriage of his daughter, Agnes Nieneber, to Augustus Sheckel- hoff. Tbe reception to the bride and groom was strictly private, and was followed by a ball at the hall over the saloon kept by John A. Barlow, on East Filth street. During tne progress of the merriment of the evening James Murphy, with several of his comrades, entered the hall as intruders, not boing invited, and unacquarnted with any of the parties. Colonel William Dawson, one of the chests, was spoken to in reference to the intruders, and by request suggested to Murphy and his party that it would ve better ior them to Icave. Some few words passed between them, but Murphy loft. The dance went on, and all connected therewith seemed to have forgotten ‘all about the ipeident, when about one o'clock it suddenly was callled to momory. Atten minutes after one o'clock the Murphy party, who at this time were composed of Jam Murphy, John P. Kline, George W. y, Charles’ Freddon and Lewis Myers again were geen in the vicinity. At that time Colonel Dawson left the hall in company with a d, Lou's Meyers, and started 1 the direction of Weidner’s Hall, to get rome refreshments, but. finding that place closed, set out to return to the ball, and whils proceeding qutetly in that direction, conversing with his friend, they were sud- denly atiacked by two men, one of whom struck at Meyers (Dawson's friend), and the othor (Murphy) was seen to strike at Dawson with a dirk about six inches long, stabbing him to the heart, Omcer *. J. Funk, who was an eye-witness to the scene, said he heard a disturbance on tho sid walk, & short distance east of Weidner’s Garden; that’ ho saw Meyers, Dawson’s companion, run away and Murphy give’ Colonel Dawson a push and then strike him in the right side. Murphy then struck at the policeman with a knife, which cut through the officer's sleeve; they then started and ran. Not a word had passed between the murderer and the victim at the time the fatal thrust was made; but as soon ns the deed was done Murphy started ou a run east with Officer Fank in pursuit. After ho had Tun some distance aud bad refused to bait a shot was fired at him by the oflicer, which stumbled him, but before the officer could reach him he stagzered off in the darkness, aud for the time succcsstully eluded pursuit He was afterward arrested at the house of his parents and taken to the station. On the way ho denied cutting Dawson, but admitted that he had attempted to stab the officer, and suppiemented tho admission with the remark which showed his yiciousness, that “If I haa strack you, as I intended to, you would pot nave got that shot into me.’’ leanwhile other officers of the force, who had been summoned by the méée, gave their attention to the dying man, who had fallen a ebort distance from tl where he had been so cowardly struck. It seem: ‘that he had started from the turned into Pearl sireot, supporting himself by the fence until ho fell utterly exheusted in the place where ho was shortly found by the officers who had been summoned to the scene, From the testimony of Mr. Myors, the friend of Coiot Dawson, it appears that Murphy waa lying iu wait for his victim, as be stated that two men sua- denly came out trom behind a recess and attacked them andgihat their objective point was Dawson, as they both assaulted him with the dreadful consequences already narrated. THR MURDERED MAN. Gvlonel Wiliam Dawson was a native of Ohio, of a Virginian tamily. Ho was a loading mechanic anda prominent citizen. Early in the war he volunteered and was appointed captain in the Thirtieth Indiana Volunteers, At Stone River, as sonior captain, he commanded six companies of his regiment on the exireme right, and was present at the capture of the brave General Willich, he having warned that gallant officer of his peril, and escaping himself in time to save his liberty. He, with his rogi- ment, was in many rook engagements and bad m narrow escapes, and was frequentiy cautioned agaiust the danger of exposing himself so recklessly to the fire of the enemy, Before the close of the war he was promoted to major for meritorious conduct on the deld, and afterward was breveted colonel and commanded a brigade. In 1869 be removed to ‘top, re he was engaged as superintendent of the plough factory of Mause Breneman & Co., and was 80 on, at tho time of bis death He Jeft a wife aud two chil- dren, At the time of the murder his wile was with relatives at Urbana, Ohio. The shock she received ‘was s0 grout that her life was for a long time despaired of. Colonel Dawson was a member of the U. 0. A. M. A WRECKING EXPEDITION. This afternoon a wrecking expedition, which will cost some $60,000, will loave tnis port for the Straits of Magellan, The expedition will leave by the steam- Wilmington, the object being to try and flont off the Wrecked steamship Georgia, Last evening a HeRarp reporter wont on board the Wilmington, lying at pier 13 North River, and in conversation with Cap- tain Holmes, of the Wiimington, got the following Statement: — THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. My beliof is that we shall float off the Georgia. take over 800 tons of coal and are provisionod for eight months in the most liberal manner. I hope to reach our destination tn about forty days, say on the 5th of October, Which is the first month of spritg down there. ‘The Georgia lies thirty miles to the west of Sandy Point, which is a settiement, and about five miles from Yort Famine, where there 1s no settic- ment. Tho weather thero is better now than it would be in tho samo jatitade north. We take two extra engineers, then we have a xo son of Mr. Clyde’s, about nineteen years old; We | mates, ture | the 18tn of Octover, 1876, engineers, one steward, nine experieneed wreckers, in- cluding two divers and a wrecking engineer furnished by Captain Merritt, of the Coast Wrecking Company. We also have anextra first officer, who is to take charge of the Georgia, if we float her, apd several extra grew, who would be put on board the wrecked vessel, The crew nu:nbers thirty-seven men, 4 exnnot tell how long we suall be away. The first news we Lad of the stranding of the Georgia was by a special despatch to the Evening Telegram trom Monte- video that the Georgia, while on her passage to San Francisco, had stranded at Rocky Point. The telegram came vin London, and was dated July 11. Subsequent details received tell us that a Chilian man~ ol-war had saved some of the cargo. I believe the Georgia is only partiaily insured. Sbe was going to Francisco in the employ of the Pana ransit and Pacitic Mail Steamship Company. she lies 18 very rocky, bat with the hawsers and ma- chinery of the Coast Wrecking Company I think we shall succeed in getting her off. TRANSPORTING THE MAILS. WHAT POSTMASTER GENERAL TYNER SAYS UPON THE SUBJECT—LITTLE HOPE FOR A CONTIN- VANCE OF THE F‘S8T MAIL TRAINS—OTHER MEANS TO BE USED FOR INCREASING THE FACILITIES. There exists in all parts of the country a deep inter- est in the subject of the transportation of the mails, The recent action of Congress in reducing the com- pensation to railroads for their services has brought about many disadvantages to the Post Office Depart- ment and mach inconvenience to business generally. The benefits of tho fast mail trains, especially be- tween this city and the West, were very great, and the withdrawal of them has left postal matters in a worse condition than they were previously. What can be done to improve the facilities 18 vow a question the Post Office Department wishes to solve, and which 18 of great importance to tho general public, Early in the last session a commission was author ized by Congress to inquire into this matter and re- port. The gentlemen designated by the President to compose the commission are Gardner C. Hubbard, of Massachusetts; Frank W. Palmer, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and ex-Mayor Fox, of Puiladelphia. They will organize at Washingtov, on Wednesday, the 30th just, and then proceed to visit all the principal northern cittes for purposes of investigation. Tn connection with the same subject, but on basiness entirely distinct from that of the commission, Post- master General Tyner has paid a visit to thiscity. Yes- terday morning he visited the New York Post Ofice and speut some timo in consultation with Postmaster James, In company they passed through the aiifer- ent departments of the Post Oflce, the Postmaster Goueral paying clore attention to every part of the management. {t was understood that lie wished to conter iniormally with the managers o! the principal railway 1 but, partly owing to the absence of William Vanderbilt, the proposed coulerenco was postponed, POSTMASTER GENKRAL TYNER. Ip conversation with» HxkaLD reporter yesterday atternoon Gene. al Tyner said that the main purpose of his visit bad been to inquire into the details of th uation prior to aconterence with the railroad mana- gers, His business was entirely in connection with the Post Office Department aud distinet trom the labors of the Congressional Commission, When that Com- mission met he had simply to place at their disposal ail the facilities the department could afford to uid them in their Investigations, He had some hopes that their Teport might iulluence the next Congress to merease the appropriation for mail facilities. The appropria- tion was narrow for the present year, but he was re- solved not to exceed it at whatever cost it might be to the public convenience, He was extremely auxious to give the country all the benefits of prompt mail transportation that lay within the ability of bi partment, but he could not pass the bounds waich Congress had fixed, The Post Uilice Depariment, he said, had never intimated to Congross that the appro- priauions were more than necessary, and had noth- ing to do toward effecting the recent reductions. It only remained for them, however, to make tue best use of whas money had been allowed them. General Tyner said that tor the first time im the history of the department # distinction had been drawn between tho railroad service and ibe other methods used for the transportation of mails, By the recent action of Congress no moneys appropriated tor either of these brancnes of postal service could be used to defray the expenses ol the other, This, he said, had in several tastances caused pot only incop- venience but actual Joss to the department, In one case coucues were used to carry the mails oyer a short route, Which could be transported by rail for $6,000 loss per annum. Neither could the department send mails over auy new lines of railway, as the amount of tue appropriation would not permit it. VAST MAIL TRAINS, General Tyner suid that his visit was not made with view to u re-estadlishment of the fast mail service. Ho thought that feature of the service was at an end for some time to come. The Central and Hudson River and the Ponnsylvania raiirosds bad expected an in- crease insiead of a reduction of their compensation for running iast mail trains. The managers of these roads say that they put on the extra trains out of pub- ho spirit and a desire to aid the goverument, They way that the arrangement was not proiitabie to them. selves, and deciare that when Congress tailed to recog- nize the value of extra speed they had no object in cou- ing the contract With the exception of the fast ng no other contracts for mail trausporiation have been stopped, allnough tbe reduction of ten per cent had appued (0 all railway mail service. Previous to this reduction the Pos: Oitice Department and the rail- for the first time got upon verinsoi a Iriendly nature. For many years the roads complained that they did not receive sufficient pay for their services to the gov- ernment, and the recent action of Congress bax again piaced the department in an uniavorabie position with the railroads, General Tyner couid not suy what im- proved arrangements for the future would be made, but he boped to obtain better facilities tor the trans- portation of mails from New York. Those coming to ‘he city would not be changed. ‘The Postmaster General left last night for Waehing- ton, and after attending to some oii duties there he will return to tbis cily and confer with the railroad managers upou the maiters above mentioned, REAL ESTATE, At the Real Estate Exchange yesterday Richard V.
