On motion of Mr. WRiGuT, (rep.) 0, Iowa, the Senate proceeded to the selection of standing and mittees, The thirty-fitth rule requiring the election of such committees by ballot was -suspended, and the | committees were announced. On motion of Mr. Wricut it was ordered that all bills and petitions heretofore presenied be referred to the appropriate committecs. Mr. Mortos said the resolution passed yesterday, regarding the inquiry into the jate elections tn certain Southern States. imposed on the Committee on Priv- ileges and Elections important and arduous labors.

THE TROOPS IN PETERSBURG, VA. Mr. Wirusrs, (deum.) of Va., called up the resolution submitied by bim yesterday requesting the President to inform the Senate, if not incompatible with the public interest, under what authority and for what purpose troops of the United States occupied the city wt Petersburg, Va., onthe 7th of November, 1876, the May of the general election. Mr. LoGay, (rep.) of 111, moved that it be referred to ‘he Committee on Military Aflairs, A longthy debate followed, during whieh Mr. Wrra- bas argued that it was not usual to reter such resolu. | 14 ol | hons. Mr, Logan said he haa heard no reason assigned for ‘us inquiry. There was no evidence that troops were dent to Petersburg for any ‘improper purpose; there | Was no evidence that they did anything wrong. Was the doctrine to be asserted that the troops of the United States could huve no piace in avy State where they could be sintioned? The President of the United States bad a right to send troops anywhere in tue United States for lawiul purposes. Uuiess there w: some charge against the President vor putting troops in Petersburg improperly this resolution should go to the Committee on Milttary Afairs. Mr. Wiruurs said in the absence of information on the subject he could not say whether the troops were \here lawtuliy or uniawiully, and it was for the pur- pose of getting the information that he offered the rex diution. Mr. THURMAN, (dem.) of Obto, said the very object | Of this resolution was Lo tind out If troops were seut to Petersburg for a lawiul purpose. He read trom th Revised Statutes to show the law under which troop: could be ordered, anu said the burden of proof rested upon those who seut the trovps to that city to show that their presence was necessary to repei armed ene- mies of the United States, or to keep the peace at the polls. He denied that the resolution was disrespectiul to the President, The Senate had a perfect right to ask the President his reasdus for ordering troops to Petersburg. Mr. Lowaw denied that the troops in Petersburg | were at the polls or interfered in the election. There had been no violation oi any law in sending the army there, Suppose the country should be engaped tu-day in a troudlesome war. would the Senate of the United States nave tne right to inquire of the President why he made a movement of any branch of the army? It would have the same right to make that inquiry that it bad to inquire why troopa were encamped 1 a cer- tain State. * Mr. Wirners said im. drawing the resolution he was careful not to be disrespectful to tue Presideut. HOt Intimna’e te It that the troops were there for an un- lawful purpose. He inserted the words “If not incom- patible with pyblic interest” that Lhe resolution mizht be entirely respecttal, His iniormation was to the | Agreed to, | | | iect come | | | | | | NEW YORK HERADD, | THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1876-—TRIELE SHEET. resolution appeared to him (Mr. Logan) * as al Lang wedge against the man to whom the people wi Bamps Ba than toeny other for the preservanon Pe roment and itelaws, (Applause in the gai- Gon Mr. Morton said a few years ago there was a bloody riot at Petersburg, and b Es mee the President had good oun to seud troo; eon election day.

Mr. MorToN said he at Urst opposed the resolution, but would now withdraw his opposition. There had been violence and bloodshed iu Petersburg a few years ago, aud as nis friends on the other side of ibe chamber were in quest of information he hoped they would get 1 ile had no doubt the President could give perfectly satis- factory reasous for ordering troops to that city. Mr. Howk, (rep.) of Wis, suid he had not the slightest objection to the resolution, e had no doubt that the President bad good reason tor his action. He desired that the President should have an opportunity to state what the reasons Were Which prompted him to scnd troops to Potersburg. There Was no place in this country so sacred that our army could not be trusted in it, whether it be a place where vote are cast or a placo where God is worshipped. He bud uo doubt that when the repiy of the resident should be received bis triends irom Virgiuia would be tally satisfied. Mr. Tuurmay, of Ohio, said the Senator from Ihnois (Mr, Logau) seemed to think that those who favore the resolution Were enemies of the army. He (Mr. Thurman) had only to say that the very worst enemy the urmy of the United States has is the man who Wisles to see it used in interfering 1m the elections of the country, (Applause in the galleries.) ‘The CHAIR announced that if such a demonstration should be repeated he would direct the galleries to be cleared. Mr. Epawenps, (rep.) of Vt., said be hoped the rules wouid be enforced, and avy one found applauding be arrested and brought to the bar of the Senate, | Mr. THUKMAN said he hoped so too. This Senate was adeiberauve body, and those here as spectators had horgit to applaud. This was atime tor calmness een coolness, Resuming his remarks, he said 14 was a fundomeutal principle of | American and Epgiiah law that mibtary shail be subordinuie to the civil power, and, otwith- standing events of the lust filtecn years in this coun- try the spirit of civil liberty bad not died out with the people, there was vo duty pertormed by a soldier so distasteful to him as interierence in eiection-. Rome had a government once, the officers of which were | chosen by the people, yet a military ebieitain ove threw the liberties of “Rome, and from the time he passed the Rubicon she was a Iree country only in en but a despotism in fact. Epucnps argued tout the army of the United siete Was bound to support the process of courts when legally called upon to do s0, and it was one of the duties of the President to so have the force at his command siationed that the laws should be executed. | He believed the President of the United States had | good reason io send troops to Petersburg, und he would be glad to bave all the facts laid betore the country. The resolution as mogified wi out a division. REPORT OF THE LOUISIANA CoMANTTEE, The Cuatnr laid betore the Senate a message (rom the President of the United states euclosing a report of Senator Sherman and other members ot the committee then agreed to with- | which visited New Orieans, together with the accom- anying testimony in regard to the recent election in Louisiana, and moved that it be printed and Hie on the table, {The lotter referred to1s published in another part of the Huns] Mr. THURMAN objected to printing ali the matier accompanying the message, though ne had no objec- tion to priuting tho message and the communication of the committee. Mr. REMAN explained that the communication was prepared in response to the request of the President that certain gentlemen proceed to Lours:ana to witness | the canvass of the votes before the Returning Board. These gentlemen did meet in New Orleans, and this was their report to the President, Mr. Eaton, (dem,) of Conn., inqnired if the com- | munication contained the report ana testimony of both she democratic and the republican committees, SPEECH OF MR. SHERMAN, Mr. Snermas, in reply, explained tho meeting and action of the two committees before the Keturn- ing Board, and said ne could say in advance avy debate oun the Louisiana case that the canvass was open and public; that every act done and word suid by the returning officers wasin their presence and in the ( gaeetetss of a com- mittce of gentlemen selected by the National Demo+ cratic Committee, and when contests were up they were carried on in presence of tho candidates and their attorneys. All the proceedings were reported for pub- Neation and published in New Orieans, and are now communicated to the President and to Cun- gress, and, with the sanction of the Senate, woald be ‘communicated to the whole people of | the United States. Tho testimony, oral and written, | | He did | | that Board, its finding was justified | Lo 1p bis opinion egtablished not only the fairness of the canvass and its strict conformity to the letter and | spirit of the law of Louisiana, but also its justice. The proof of intimidation, terror, and murder committed in pursuance of an’ organized plan to prevent the election of the republican electors and the return of the democratic electors was so {ull aud complete that the public mind would | beheve tbat any other finding of the Board would |.bave been a reproach to our civilization. and an utter overthrow in Louisiana of the freedom of ciec- tions upon which the preservation of our re- publican stitutions rest, He did not know (he result of the canvass except as he saw it in this morning’s papers, Nor could be say whether the | Board acted rightly or not as to specific polling places uoul could compare their action with the muy proven; but he did say that, upon testimony tal r DY tho law ot ¥ jana and by sae highest principles of justice and enor. In reply to Mr. Eaten Mr. Sherman sai All the published testimony taken by the democratic committee accompanied the communication to the President, but there were some depositious of which they could not obtatn copies in time. He argued that burning, whipping it was the express duty of the Presideat | to submit this information to Congress. as there was ho matter of more importance than questions connected with canvassing — boards, effect that troops were ordered there in response to the | applications of te United States Marsval for the rast- eru District of Virginia to remain during the e:ection, He (Mr. Withers) bad heard of committees shelving resolutions and never reporting them. He wanied the resolution passed now because be wanted the intorma- tion. Mr. LOGAN sal tho motion he made was not with ‘Yiew te prevent the information trom coming to the dente; but he objected Lo the passuge of the resoiu- tion now because it presupposed an unlawful act. Mr. THURMAN spoke of tne British laws aud said under the act ot Parliament no troops could be si tioned within a mile of a polling place on election day. they were somewhat careful in that country, won arcby that itis, that the mulitary shall not interfere with the election, ‘lke senator from Iilinois (Mr. Uogun) seemed to think thut the President of the United States could Uli a town tuil of troops on an tiow day Without any Violation ot law, Tbe Sen- ate of the Fnited States had a right to know whetuer or not the President ad been imposed upon .n order- ing troops to Petersburg. Mr. LoGaN said it the doctrine of the Senator froin | | | and making a President of the United States, be, for one, would vote for the publication of all the testimony taken by the democratic committee if it should be presented to the Senate, Probably there nw! never beea in the Uniied Statea a more jublic act than the action of this Returoing Board, He had witnessed the whole proceedings of the Board, and be believed they had been misrepresented. RUMARKS OF SENATOR BUGY, Mr. Boay, (dem,) of Mo., said be took some part with | the democratic commitiee in New Orleans Just alter the late ciection, He believed the election in Louisi- ana had been orderly aud without intimidation. He | spoke of depositions sent to the Senare by the Presi- | dent with the communication of the committee, and Ohio (Mr. fburman) was orrect soldiers could not ve | quartered in any ue (Mr, Logau) supposed arrangements must be made to send them up 10 a dailoon and leave them ap aul after election. the statute read by the enator from Ohio (air, Thur- man} was that troops should not bo held at polls to fntimidate men, The argument that troops could not be stationed in a town when an election was being held there was contrary to cominon sense, At the request of Mr. Logan Mr. Withers then modi- fiod his resolution to read as 1oilows:— Mr, Logan argued that the meaning of | Siate on the day of an election, aud | argued that they were all in violation of the law of Louisiana, as the law of the State provided that any evidence of fraud or intimidation shouid be sent in witoin twenty-four hours an election, Ho Une relerrod to the ease of liza Pinkston, quoted by Mr. Surgent, and said a grosser imposition liad never been attempted in this country.

They tion of the South now and during the past few years was a suiticient Warrant to the President to put troops an any of those Staves without being catechised about i Mr. Sanaen, (rep ) of Cal., in reply to the reference of Mr, Thurman to the Eagiish law, said that elections in Euglang furnished no parailel wo the electious in the Southern 31 and the rights ot both sides were projected. What were ihe events which happened in the Southern States during the recent Presidential election? The air was juil of reports and statements of intimidation and Wrongs toward repub- | Mean voters. it was not well to be so sensitive about the use of the army, when it was known that rifle clubs bad taken possessiqg of the polis in the South. He (Mr. Sargent) regrettoa that the strong arin of the United States was not at Hamburg, 8. C., last spring. He regr “that there wus not soa power within strikin, distance when Eliza Pinkstoa’s ‘husband was kitled ip Loaisiava beiere her eyes, ber bave Killed, she violated and cut so badly as to Lardy resemble a human being. fe afguca that the repabli- Pans in the South had been prevented from young, and there had been a necessity ior ‘interference by the He commended the Preaidont, ot the wheal an the United States should not by passing this Reveyner bay throw out the iinplication that he acted improperly. Mr Jouystox, (dem.) of Va, said Us resolution re- lated to V irginia, not to South’ Carolina or Louisiana, Mf the Senator from Calitoraia, or any ono clso, said ‘there bud been intimidation or fraud in Virginia which jusvitied interference by United States troops he jabored ander a great mistake. ibere had veen ve Ku Klux, norife clubs in Virginia, and the only in- timidation prastised there bad been by colored repab- licans He gheed colored democrats. He denied tuat there had been any violence at Petersburg, und no one ted that there would ve any trouble there, on election day. The people of Virginia regarded tho presence of troops there as a menace, as a threat, Mr. LoGaN asked if the people of Virgina were so hostile to the defenders of the country that they would not give then a sie en Mr, Jonxston—They are welcome to any part of the State when they come for 4 lawful parpore. Mr. Logan said his friends om the other side of the toamber were getting so technical as tothe use of the army and navy thut they had better drive them into the wea. Mr. Jouxstox—The navy should be at sea, ter, we Loaax (resuming) argued that the President was the judge as to Where troops should be stationed, Tho + (Lough. ht to be in Petersburg, and the general covui- | | jtberties of the people were now to i | | Mr. Stuvensox, (dem.) ot Ky,, objected to printing all the depositions, and moved that the subject be referred to the Committee op Printing, He argued that the election of Hayes or Tiden was insig- Dilicant When compared with the greater issue which now confronted the Americon people. [f the will and be trampled down then the biood and sufferings of those who sutiered and died 100 years ago passed for nothin, He argued that Tilden carried Louisiana by 6,000 or 7,000 major- ity, and that many negroes voted the democratic ticket. Mr, SHKKMAN argued that all depositions presented were legal, as they were taken under the laws of Louisl- ana. In regard to thease of Eliza Minkstou he was will- ing to leave that to the people of the United States. Her husbanu had been murdered on acconnt of politics, In parishes not “bulldozed” there was an increase in the repuohcan vole, while in ovher parishes where there were riile clubs there were few or no votes for Hayes, He. defended the setion of the Returning Board, and id it wag right) im re. goctini returns of certain parishes. The jecision of the Returning Board was final and required the same respect from the Senate of the Uniied states as a decision of the Supreme Court. The members of the Board were highly respected, and they had con- ducted themselves with honor and dignity, Lt would not do to ridicu'e these men, They had exhibited in this whole matter courage and dignity. He argued that the form and spirit of tt been fully opserved. Mr. West, of Louiaiana, denied that black men Voted the democratic ticket, and said we might as well expect to seo the Misyissipp! River run up stroam as to seo black men vote the vemocratic ticket when their neighbors were being killed around them by democrats, He contende| that nine-tenths of the men elected in Louisiana at the last election came trom old Contede- rate stock, who had scen the error of their ways. There was a preponderance of 15,000 black votes in Loulsiana, and that fact showed the State was not democratic, He rejoiced now that his vo.ce, raised in the Senate so often to prevent mur- der and outrage in his State, would be re-echoed by Senators from other sections, and the country would kuow how mea were murdered and butchered in the South for opinion’s sake. Mr. SrkVENSON suid the Senate had voted that there was po legal government in Louisiana whea it refased a seat to Mr. Pinehvack, If the Retarning Board was as immaculate as the Senator from Obio (Mr. Sherman) represented it to be then Senators hud been recreant to their oaths in not seating Mr. Pinchback, ‘The subject was further disenssed by Messrs. Bogy, Sherman, Stevenson aud others, after which Me, Stovenson insisted upon his objection to printing tne depositions, and under the rules the motion to prent them was referred to the Gomi ttee on Printing.

At the close of the morning hour the Speaker laid detore the House a message trom the President trans- mitting a letter, accompanied by testimony, addressod to hin by Hoo, Jobn Sherman aud other distinguished citizens im regard to the canvass of the vote fur elec- tors in Louisiana, Mr. Spruixcen, (dem.) of LIL, moved its reference to the Select Committee on Louisiana, Mer CoxGer, (rep.) of Mich., requested either that the correspondence and testimony should be read or should ve priuted for the information of the mem- Srrincer objected to cither, dang uction in the matter Mr. Woodburn, | of Nevada, Was appointed on the Select Comuittee for Fiofida, instead of Mr, Garfield, of Obio, excused. A motion to adjourn was deleated ou a vote by the yous wnd nays, and then ihe question came up as to Whether members could be required to vote on a paper belore its being read, ‘The Speaker, alter a review of the rule on the sub- Ject, decided that the paper in question was in the Bade of information and a step toward correct legis- Jation, aud that, therejore, it must be read. ‘The'Clerk thereupon procecded with the reading of the paper. The reading of the report of Senator Sherman and others occupied nearly an bour, REMARKS OF MR. WOOD, When tt was inisied Mr, Wood, of New York, rose and expressed his surprise at such a message having becn sent by the President, He regarded it as most extraordinary and unprecedented, but remarked that this was a marvellous and extraordinary time, The President bad bad ihe experience which nearly eight years of service had given bim, and that experience, Ol itself, should bave given him a knowledge unt only oi the theory, bat of the practice, of the government aud its officers, And yet the President bad seen pro- per to seod to the House this unauthorized } communication from persons clothed with uo official position in the premises. The President, by giving to it bis official sanction and by trduemitung at to the House, made it one of the records of ihe govern- ment. He (Mr. Wood) could observe but one dbject Which the Preaiwient could have hadin transmitting it; that was the incidental oue of suggesting Uiat the House was clothed with wuthority to imstilute careful inquiry ity the election of the President. In advance of the rezular presentation of that great subject the President told the House by this procedure that the House 1s authorized to institute an inquiry as to tbe correctness and integ- rity of the certificates of election. The exception ich he (Afr. Wood) took to it was that the President should huve transinitted in such an authorized way an unauthorized document of a mero partisan und ex parte character, and his first impulse had been to move that the’ communication be returned to the President, It ke had followed the indignation which rose to kis heart when the document was presented to the House he would have made such a@ proposition, but ho should not now do so, He should simply move that the message of the President and accompanying documents be laid on tne table. (Applause. ) Mr. Hoan, (rop.) of Mass, said that bis side of the House desired to debate the subject. The'motion, hqwever, was undebat@ble, and it was adopted—yeas 153, nays 90—a party vou The House then, at filteen minutes past three P.

An application to vacato the judgment as an apparent lien on property of Mr. Deviin, which he desires to sell, was made by Mr. Dudley Field before Judge Brady, in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday. It was claimed that tho Clerk bad vo right to enter the judgment against Mr. Doviin, as the appeal operated as a stay.

THE SINKING FUND COMMISSION. j THE ELEVATED RAILWAY AND THE PUBLIC PARKS—AN OPINION FROM CORPOBATION COUNSEL WRITNEY. A meeting of tho Commissioners of the Sinking Fund was held yesterday afternoon in the Mayor's office. Mayor Wickham, Comptroller Green, Alderman Joho Reilly, Recorder Huekett, and City Chamberlain Tap- pan were present. The City Chamberlain presented a report in which it was set forth that $27,964,408 41 in stocks and bonds of the city of New York remained ju the sinking fund on Pecuaner 5 1876, for redemp- tion of the city debt. THE ELEVATED RAILWAY AND BATTERY PARK. A communication was received from Corporation Counsel Whitney in answer to the following inquiries submitted by the Commissioners of the Sinking Faund:—First, whether the Department of Parks have such control of public parks as to. change their statutory uses? Second, whether the ap- Propriation of city property for new uses belongs exclusively to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund? ‘Third, whether the pillars of the Elevated Railway have been illegally erected in the public park known as and called the Battery? In the communication occurs the following:—"In answer to the first inquiry I would suy that in my opinion the Department of Parks have no authority change the uses to which parks shali be put, whef@ver either specitically or impliedly the uses are limited by law, and, as matter ot law, I think that wherever property has been acquired by the city by an exercise on its part of the right of eminent domain, conferred for the purpose by the State, that the title to the property is heid by the city upon pub- lie trusts, for a definition of which reference must bo nhade in each case to the purposes jor which Its acquisi- tion has been authorized. In auswer to the second quiry, Whether the appropriation of the city proper ior lew uses does not belong exeiusivuy tv the Commissioners of the sinking Fund, I should say, shat im my opinion, either ‘the Commissioners of the Sinking Fauna wor the Park De- partment buve any authority to divert property held upou public truat from the Use te Which ii has been virtually dedicated under the jaw, In answer to tie third inquiry whether We pillars of the Elevated Rail- way have Geen rlegatly erected in’ the public park known as and catted the Battery, 1 would say thatin December ‘ast the question Was brought to my atten- tion by the Purk Depactmont stating that the New York Hievated Raiiway Company, under its charter and the privileges that had been conferred ujoa them by the Comminsiouers of Rapid ‘Transit, appointed underebaptor 606 ot the Laws ot , che med the Tight to constract its railroad across the nortu- easterly corner of thy Battery. At that time [ was informed that the Elevated Railway claimed the au- thority to cross the Battery under, the provision in the Kapid Transit act, Which declared that ‘In all cases the Use of the streets, avenues, places and lands gesignated vy the said Commissioucrs aud the right of way through the same lor the purpose of a railway or railways wereiy, ay autuorized aud provided, shull be considered aud 1s hereby declared to be a public use, cousisiedt with the uses for which the roaus, streets, avenues and public pices are publicly held, But ho such corporation shall have the right to acquire the ase or occupancy of the pudlic parks or squares in such county, oF the use or occupancy of any of the streets or ave: nues, except such as may have been designated for the routes or route of such railway, and except such tem- porary privileges as the proper au.horities nay grunt to such corporations to facilitate such coristruction.’ Upon investigating the title to the nds commonly kuown as the Battery I found that it would be un- necessary for me either to pass upon the authority of tho railway compauy, acquired under the Rapid Tran- wit act, or the question woetber the Park Department could divert property acquired and neld for the pur- pose of the park for any such purpose as that contem- Plated by this railroad company. ? ‘The communication conciudes as follows :—"It ia, pere haps, proper for me to say that the question as to the right of the Elevated Ral.way and of the Park Depart- ments, relerred tom the preamble communicated to ime, 18 Low before the Superior Court, after having been elaborately argued by most emineut counsel on both sides. A uecision will, doubtless, soon be made upon the gaubject,”’ APPORTIONMENT. PREPARING FOR THE SKATING SEASON—JUDGE SUTHERLAND’S SALARY. Aspecial meeting of the Board of Apportionment was held in the Mayor’s offlce yosterday, Comptroller Green, Mayor Wickham, Alderman Lewis and Tax Commissigner Wheeler being present. The Board of Education sent im a request asking for a transfer of $10,000 from their account of supplies to salaries, which request was granted. A communication was also received from the Park Commissioners, asking for a transfer of $5,000 for the purpose of detraying pre- liminary expenses of the skating season. The trans- fer was allowed, Compireiler Green voting against it onthe ground that be did not think 1 prudent to trust the present management of the parks with more tunds than were actually necessary. MORE JUDGMENT BONDS, The Comp:rolicr was authorized to issue judgment bonds to the amount of $25,000, On mouon of Mayor Wickham $4,875 was transterred trom contingencies of the Mayor’s oflice for 1575 to tund for payment of marie of Commissioners of the Third District Court louse, BOARD OF JUDGE SUTUERLAND’S SALARY.

He recovered judgment, and the General Term had sustained bim tn bis position. He did not wish to be compelied to sue the city age The Judge was very emphatic in his remarks, and at one time it appeared as if a little wordy wartare might break out vet ween himseif aad Comptroller Green, No action Was iuken Upon the request of the Judge, but itis understood thut suitable provision will be made for tue expenses of the Court of General Sessions in imate lor 1877. The B adjourned to Monday next, when tho estimate as seut back from the Bourd of Aidermen will be taken up.

A provision has just been discovered in the charterof 1873, by which Park Commiasioncr Joseph J, O'Donohue vacates his place. The gentleman is one of the dems ocratic Presidential electors, and it is owing to this fact that he will be now compelled to step dowa and out from the Park Department, Mayor Wickbam con- straes the charter m this way and will probably ap- point & successor to Mr. O'Donohue to-day. In thie instance it will not be necessury to receive the cun- firmation of the Board of Aldermen. The following 18 the section of the charter under which tho claim is put forth :— Section 114—Any person holding office, whether by el tion or appointment, who shall, during his term of offic cept. hold or re: y other civil offive of honor, tr olument under the government of the United States pt commissioners for the takimy of bil, of register of any office of notury public or ot the National ected wit! shall accept a sent thereby to have vacated celty government, No OF county offices, except AB Ox ly provided tor in this ae shail any officer ler ty government hold retain an office under the ¥ government exeopt where he holds such ex-o'belo by virtue of wet of the Legisiavure, and in such cases he shall draw no salary for guvh ox alticlo « Mayor Wickham yesterday said that the charges every oflice held b borne eal holt iw The et cow ‘wore consequentiy Withdrawn as regard: 0’ Dono- hue, ond he would now be left solely wo bonsider the charges ated against Commissioner THE COMPIROLLERSHIP. The Board of Aldermen will hold a regular meeting this afternoon. It is siated by Tammany men that there is no doubt of the nomi of Mr, Jobn Kelly. Mayor Wickbam denies that he bas Tecetved avy formal declination trom Mr. Thayer, but it Wil probably be sent in to-day. If it is not sent in aod the Aldermen fail to reject or confirm the nomina- tion of Mr. Thayer, then the matter will probably be Jaid over for another week. The Mayor is entirely nou-commitia) as to what course he intends to pursue or as to who ts to be his next choice for Comptrolier. He may probably bave a dark ‘borse to spring upon the Aldermen atthe last moment. Meanwhile Mr. Green holds over, and rumors of an intention on his part to contest the legality of sn appoimtment ef his suc cessor are still in circulation. As to whispers of bar- gaiu and sale in ihe selection -of a ow wt might be well jor the city following clause of the charter:— t deputy thereo! ation, shali be ly interested in or in the pertor directly. any contracts, work or business, or the sale o! any artic the expenses, price oF consideration of which ix pavable fram the city treasury, oF by Any ussessment levied by any acts or ordinances of thy Coins aneil; wor in the’ par: chase oF leas of any real extute or other property belonging to or taken by the corporation, or whieh ¥i for taxes oF wossmouts, oF by. virtu the suit of the said corporatio: this section mentioned shall, time for whieh he was elected or appointed, caowir wueqnire an interest Mm anys contract or work with the © Or any department or office thereot, same stall be dovoived upon hii by law, he slisl «cher jolt his vitive and be punished #s for a cuisdemeanor, Xi such contracts tn which auy sues person is or becomes interested shail, atthe option of the Comptroller, be fo twited and void ot 1 or promise tion'ur any money or valuable thing to any officer of the to any otver person i cousideration of his having heen or ee aed nied, elected or emploved ay o under the penaity of fied from being © of the city, nvietion, be punished lor a uusdemeanor, OF PARKS. to, portic elected, 4) and shail, on DEPARTMEN’ THE BIDS FOR LIGHTING THE CITY LAMPS. The Park Commissioners held their weekly meeting yesterday, whea they rece,ved proposals for lighting the lamps id the city during the first four months of 1877, Gas companies alone competea for the awards, notwithstanding contractors and others were invited to bid. The following bids were re- coived:—The New York Gas Light Compaiy proposed to light all the lamps south of Grand, Sullivan and Canal streets at tho rate of $12 per lamp; the Man- hottan Company offered to Hight ali lamps between the line of Grand, Sullivan and Canal streets and Thirty. fourth street at $12 per lamp; the Musual Company offered $8 per iamp lor the last described district, aud included the jampg around the Franklin tan ment in Printing House. square; the Metropolita’ Compangipid $13 tor between Seventy. h streets, and the Harlem proposal Was $13 50° per lamp for those north of Seventy-th street, The awards will be maue atthe beXt meeting. On the report and r¢ mendation of Mr. Frederick Law Olmstead, landscape architect, it was decided to place Burtboldi’s arm of the siatue of Liberty im Madi- son square until the remainder of the statue arrives from France, It was reported that several residents of the Twenty- fourth ward had examined the play of improvements which the Board have inteuded to carry ont in that section of the city bounded by Morrisania avenue, Boston road aud the Souihern Boulevard, aud that action would probably be taken in the matter at the next meeting. THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL, The Commissioners to condemn tho land in Jersey City for the Hudson River Tunnel met yesterday at Taylor's Hotel. Henry S. White represented the tun- nel company. The Delaware and Lackawanna and Morris and Essex companies were represented by Ate torney General Vanatta and Mr. John Brisbin. Mr. Vanatta stated that the difficulty in the way of an amicable settlement was a correct understanding in reference to the extent of the tunnel privileges Which the company required. As he understood it, according to the recent modified decision in the case, the com- pany was to receive mercly an easement or right of way underground, without iniringing upon the surtace rights of the railroad compantes, and it latter wero fully assured on this pyint the matter could be easily seitled. Alter a private conference with Mr. D. C, Haskins, the president of the tunucl company, a satisiactory understanding was arrived at, except in relerence to the price of the land, The Commissioners have taken another week to settle this point, after which work on the tunnel will proceed. 1 is esti- mated that the work will be completed in two years, at ‘ cost of $10,000,000, THE PARK BREWERY. . ‘The Habilities of the Park Brewery establishment, at Staten island, which was closed on Saturday, ate ‘understood to be about $75,000, and tho seizablo as- Sots aboUs $20,000, __HUUSES, apes be mein this City PRIVATE FAMILY Or FIVE ADULTS WANT FOR tie winter & nicrly furnished touse in @ desirable neighborhood.
