THE CITY'S ROADWAYS. Dangerous and Dilapidated Condition of the Pavements of New York. FACTS AND FIGURES ON THE SUBJECT. —_—.——_— Repairs at Present Under ‘Way—The Seventh Avenue Nuisance. Never was thereatime when the people of New York complained so loudly and with such good cause of the condition of their pavements as at present ‘When, after much exhortation and denunciation from the Hxxap, the officials were induced to remove from ‘he streets tho accumulations of ashes and garbage which had disigured them for months, the citizens fondly hoped their troublos in that direction were over. When the pavement undernoath was exposed, however, it was found to be in such a stateas to almost make them wish tne garbage was back again to cover it Of the 300 miles paved streets in this city thore probably is not to be found one- sighth of a mile of continuous good roadway. In the last report of the Department of Public Works it was | ‘tated that immediate and eficiont steps shoula be | taken to renew and repair the pavements of many of the streets and avenues ip the popuious and business portions of the city. Such a course was declared necessary ‘for the interests of commerce, the health | of the mbabitants and the credit and prosperity of the metropolis.” The report furthee admitted that, while large outlays had been made in the construction of boulevards and paving the upper portion of the city in» substantial manner, the lower wards had been sadly neglected. ‘My attention,’’ said the Commmis- sioner of Public Works, ‘is almost every day called by merchants and others to the unsafe condition of these and to the absolute necessity of making prompt Fepairs of the pavement, so that traffic shall no longer be impeded.” WOODEN PAVEMENTS, Notwithstanding this, the streets are in a worse con- dition to-day than they were then; and the forbear- ance of the peoplo is taxed to the uttermost, Where ‘wooden pavements exist—and there are twenty miles and mors of it—the strects are filled with little pits from which the blocks have been lost through decay. ‘Those, in wet weather, filled with water ankle deep, form traps for pedestrians and afford matchless factli- ties for breaking the legs of horses. Even where the Dlocks have not rotted away entirely, there 18 consid- erable decay. The surtace is sunken in many places and in all water and filth of all kinds is retained bo- tween tho blocks until it becomes putrid and gives off foul vapors which breed disease. It 18 becoming quite common for physicians to advise pahents fo remove from such streets, They throughout he eighty-six miles of covble stone pavements are to be found innumerable pl where the Btones have become loused and removed, leaving pie whieh become sloughs in wet weather. Almost Ye entire mass needs relaying. A drive over almost any street where such pavement is laid will test the springs of the strongest velicle, and it causes such a Jolting that coachmen and con has been laid over cobbie ston fe apie street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, case is evun worse. Disinvegrated by the weather, ‘poultice’ has come off in great patches, leaving wores which offend the eye, collect water and destroy the comiort of ‘those who ride and ndanger the limbs of horses, Undoubtedly the all thoroughfares in respect to pavement is Seventh avenue, along its entire length, and the denunciations of the municipal government uttered by residents, who find their street ruined and the atmosphere poisoned by the rotting mass ot wood which confronts them, would cause somo officiais to open their eyes, “Ia it nut atrocious,’’ said a re: nt of Twenty-first reet, r Kighth avenue, yesterday, ‘that we, y ‘over here, have been assessed tu widen and im- | edd Broadway and pave it handsomely, while we Wwe a muddy lane ours WHAT COMMISSIONER CAMPBELL SAYS, The Commissioner of Public Works asserts that he 1s not to blame for the existing condition of the streets. According to his statement the fault lics with the Board ot Estimate and Apportionment, which refuses rant him sufficient funds to do the work prop- In his report last July the Commissioner recom~- mended that the most important streets then laid with cobble sbould be repaved with stone biocks, di- viding the work between the years 1877, 1878 and 1879, as should bo found moss advisable. The less tre- quented streets he thought should be repaired Bie thoroughly with blocks, and thus in the course of ten years the whole city would be substantially paved. To carry out this plan the Comwmissiover claimed that a largo appropriation would be required fur tho present year. He applied to the Board of Apportionment for $500,000 tor repay- ing and for $250,000 jor repairs of pavements. That Dody, however, only allowed $200,000 tor repaving and $160,000 for repairs. The latter amount 18 not, it 18 med, sufliciont to do more than repair the very worst piaces temporarily and leave a smati balance for rgencies, Within the past two weeks 350 men ‘been put at this work in various parts of the be added to the num- b vided into thirty-four ry ch cunaisting of a rammer, two paviors, ax seven men and two carts.

NOTICE TO RAILROAD COMPANIBS. The Department ot Public Worksou Wednesday sent puta letier to the Various railroad companies in the city hotilying them that, in accordance with a resolution of the Common Council, approved April 4, 1877, they Must put the pavement lying between their rails and for & distance of two feet therefrom, in good condition apd keep it in repair, or else the department will do the work and sue the companies for the expense. The Pailroad companies, the circular says, possess valuable franchises for which they have paid little or nothing $@ the city, and the least they can do, whether expressly enjoined by their charters or not, is to keep the pavements in and about their tracks in good condition. The department is now repairing betweon the tracks of the Second Avenue Railroad above Nine- feenth strect, and is keeping un account of the cost, to be led wo the Corporation Counsel tor collection, th avenu THE HOUSE OF REST. ‘The second annual reception of the Ladies’ Associa- tion of the House of Rest for Consumptives took place yesterday afternoon at Tremont, near Fordham, A brilliant assemblage of ladies graced the occasion, and the excellent taste displayed in floral decorations about tho altar of the chapel, and the neatly appointed ere a well-sorved collation was laid out, at- Jested the interest which had been taken by many fair banda in this worthy charity to make the reception a successiul one, In this the ladies’ hopes wore gratify- led. was bad in tho chapel attached to the estab- Bervice eabment, the Rov, 3.

LUDLOW SUPPORTED BY NINE-TENTHS OF HIS CONGBEGATION—RUMORS OF A NEW CHUBCH. The trouble that has been occasioned in the Collegi- ate Church, owing to the arbitrary action of the Con- sistory in dismissing Dr. James M, Ludlow, the pastor of the church congregation worshipping at Filth ave- nue and Forty-eighth strect, some time since, has assumed a phase which may prove decidedly unpleas- ant to both sides of the controversy, involving as it may the disruption of the congregation and its division into two separate bodies, it may be instructive and interesting at this point to take a short review of the action which has had this unpleasant result, Certain members of the Consistory some time ago became dissatisiied with Dr. Ludiow, because the building he preached in held from 1,000 to 1,200 people, and the customary congregation oum- bered only about half that number. They at once at- tributed this fact to Dr. Ludiow’s want of drawing power, and they decided to call for his resigna- tion, They could not dismiss him except for unchris- tian life or conduct or false doctrine, as the call to any of the pulpits of the Collegiate Church is for life, ‘The Consistory of the Collegiate Church Corporation is an arbitrary body of twenty-four men, being four elders and four deacons {rom each of the three church edifices included in the corporation, These are elected every two years and their action is final, being subject only to review by an intaugible body called the Great Consistory, which consists of the twenty-four mem- bers, together with any who have been members previously. This Great Consistory rarely numbers over thirty membors. Some years ago, when the system of rotation was in full force, a resolution was passed by the Consistory to discontinue the rotation, but subsequently the system was restored. Dr, Ludlow was one ol the opponents of the rotation system, and his congregation sent a petition to the Cousisiory against it, The system was then modified so as to permit each pastor to occupy his own puipit tn the morning, and Only rotate in the alternoon or evening. This partial grant of their re- quest was all that they they could obtain, Lut the con- gregation were still dissatisfied. They liked their pastor and severely criticised the arbitrary action of the Consistory, All of these causes combined to influence a majority of the Consistory to call for Dr. Ludlow’s resigvation. A powertal minority opposed thig action, but were overruled by the ma- jority. Meetings of the congregation were held and the Consistory was vigorously denounced as exercising an unwarranted and arbitrary authority, and Dr. Ludlow ‘Way requested pot to resign, but he preferred to do so rather than bring scandal on the faith he protessed, thereby setting a fine example Fully nine-tenths of the congregation are in sympathy with Dr, Ludlow, and the Consistory are not held in any great degreo of reepect now by the members of the Forty-eighih street church. A SCHISM IN PROGRESS. A large numbor of tho wealthiest and best members of tho congregation have given up their pows and intend to follow Dr, Lud- Jow’s fortunes. Their personal friendship for him as a man, aod affection and respect as a pustor, aro greater than their desire to remain in the church where they lave so long worshipped. Among the prominent members who going or have already gone outare Thomas Jeremiah, Prosident Pacific In- surance Company; Waiter Carter, formerly of Robert er & Brothers; William L. Skidmore, of No. 14 Wall street, cou! broker; E. A. Morrison, large dry goods ‘dealer, und others, By some it is said that tully 100 pews had been given up. There rling a new church and calling Dr. Ludiow to t pastor The church building at Madison avenue and Forty-eighth stree' formerly occupied by the First Reformed Episcopal Church, has been spoken of; but nothing definite in hi that regard t been decided upon. matiers existed until or two ago, when an advertisement appeared ina dufly contemporary severely reflecting upon the ‘managers’ and announcn at 100 pews: were for sale, advertisement further states, “It js understood they are to havea big man anda big preacher, one who will woigh about two hundred pounds and is full of the Heideiberg Catechism.”? An effort was made to ascertain the advertiser, which was fruitiess. It was tuought, however, have been a very impolitic thing and Dr, Ludlow certainly does not desire such champlouship. A Heravp reporter tound members of the Consistory we but those who were seemed adver: the matter, ‘The above facts, however, wo in conversation with a prominent member Consistory. A NOBLE GIF At the recent annual meeting of the Englewood Presbyterian Church, Rev. Henry M. Booth, the pastor, read @ letter from one of his parishioners, Mrs. Emily A.

ANOTHER NOMINATION YOR POLICE COMMI6- SIONER FIRED BACK BY THE ALDERMEN—A PARK COMMISSIONER LIKEWISE REJECTED— FILLING VACANCIES IN THE DEPARTMENTS. A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, In view of the general under- standing that Mayor Ely would send in bis nomina- tions for the vacant Commissioverships a large number ot the unterrifed blocked up the entrances to the chamber. FIRING OUT ANOTHER POLICE COMMISSIONER. When the usaal routine business was concluded Clerk Muloney read a communication from the Mayor nominating Alexander Shaler for Police Commissioner in piace of Joel B, Erhardt, whose term of office bas expired, Alderman Purroy, who had vacated the President's cbair when the uame ot Geovral Shaler was road off, said:—“Since tho gentleman is deserted by bis own party, uo oue present suggesting his Contirmation, I move that bis same be rejected.” Alderman Cowing denied that bis party intended to desert General Sbaler, He hoped that they would sus- tain the nomination of the Mayor. The speaker was aware that mothing he could say would havo auy effect with the majority of the Board, It would require a supernatural power to change their votes when a par- tigan issue was before them. Had he the eloquence of Cicero or the ‘wisdom of Lycurgus’ he could not hope to cause such a revolution, He understood that there was only one man in the city who could secure such a result. In the opinion of Mr, Cowing it did not make any difference whether or not the nominee wus # den ocrat orarcpublican, Neither did the people care as te the politics of these officials, If Mayor Ely sent in the naine of a good democrat he would certainly vote for him. The gentleman then reiterated bis argumeot that the Police Commission ought to be a non-partisan body. Alderman Purroy remarked tbat he haa presented his views on this issue when the pame of lsauc H. Batley was sent in tothe Board. “This nomination,’* concluded the Alderman, “bas been wrung from tho bands of Mayor Ely. 1 shall, however, rise in my place again and again, aud do all in iny power to reject such vomivations whenever they come before us"? General Shaler was then rejected for Police Com. missioner by a party vote of 13 to 7, SCALPING A PROPOSED PARK COMMISSIONER, ‘The Mayor next enlivened the Board by sending in the name of Thomas J. Brown, Superintendent ot the Erte Railroad, for tho piace of Park Commissioner in piace of James R. Martin. Alderman Joyce—I don’t kuow this man and I can- not vote for him for that reason, We have enough figurebeads already in the Park Department, lmove that tho name of Mr. Brown be rejected, ‘Alderman Cowing contended that it was unjust and discuurteous to the Mayor to reject the name of Mr. Brown without tirst investigating as to his qualifica- tions for the office. The Mayor should be treated with more cunsiueration, He moved that the nominal tion lay over until Tuesday next. Alderman Purroy—The gentieman’s sympathy for Mayor Ely is something heartrending and deplorable, 1 am inciined to look with suspicion upon the spectacle of a republican sympathizing with a democrat. Altes some further sparring of a similar description, Mr. Brown’s name was also rejected by a vote of 12 to7. CONFIRMING THE COMMISSIONERS. The following gentlemen were next read off trom the Mayor’s communication and promptly confirmed by unanimous vote:— Taz Commissioner—Georgo H. Andrews. City Chamberlain— J. Nelson Tappan, Fire Commiussioner—Jobu J, Gorman. Commissioner of Charities and Correction—Tnomas 8, Brennan, Health Commissioner—Charles F, Chandler. ‘Dock Commussioner—Jacob Vanderpoel, Messra. Andrews, Tappan, Brennan and Chandler have been reappointed, Mr. Gorman succeeds Mr Ros- well D. Hatch in the Fre Department, and Mr, Vander- joel steps into the shoes of Salem 'H. Wales in the jock Commission, The new Fire Commussioner is a sacbem of the many Society and also treasurer of Tammany eral Committee, He hails from the Ninth ward, The new Dock Commissioner is an uncie of Mr, Aaron J: Vanderpoel, of the firm of Vanderpoel, Green & Cuming. THR REASON WHY. In the confirmation of Messrs, Andrews and Chand- Jer, supposed to be republicans, Alderman Purroy ex- plaios the anomalous position of his colleagues in ret the ground that toc former fitted tor the Tax Commi bo objection could be advanced against him. He also stated that Mr. Chandler had worked with the democratic party for many years pas. Mr. Brown’s rejection is un- derstood to have been caused by his manyite. Mayor Ely says med gentleman in consequence of bis im this respect. He also explains bis reason for pro- posing General Shaler, on tho ground t] juch a Com- missionor would prove acceptable to the leaders of the republican party. t is understood that this action of the Aldermen jd Martin in office tor ani the lust will leave Messrs. Erhardt ai somo time. TAMMANY BACKING THE ALDERMEN. The Tammany Hall General Committee held their regular monthly meeting last night, Henry L. Clinton in the chair, The rules were suspended to admit the passage of the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That this General Committee heartily indorse the uction of tke suard of Aldermen, so tur as it has refused to confirm republican nominations by the Mayor for im- portant offices under the city government. REMEDIAL JUSIIC. CONFUSION AND ANNOYANCE OREATED BY LEG- ISLATIVE BUNGLING—A DEMAND FOR THE REPEAL OF THE NEW CODE BILL, To tux Eprtor or Tax HERALD:— The failure of several of the newspapers of this city to appreciate the recent action of the Legislature in reference to the law regulating the practice and pro- coedings in the courts of this State is possibly due to the fact that it is difficult for the lay mind to fully ap- prehend the far-reaching effects of such leg! For the purposes of tnis article only it wil mitted that the new code is # wise measure, and that the best interests of the legal profession and the peo- ple gonerally wili be subserved by its enactment into law. Now, what was the situation a few days since, when the Legislature allowed to go into effect a law that repealed a large portion of the Code of Procedure, and left the balance of it in force, so that to- day the practice of this State is conducted under the fragments of two codes—one old and one new? On the 2d day of June, 1976, the Logisluture passed thirteen chapters of the new code, providing, however, that they should not go into ef- fect until May 1, 1877, During the past year these thirteen chapters have been thoroughly examined by the Bar Association of this city and the Judi- ciary Committee of the Sonate, The Bar Aa- sociation proposed sixty-two amendments, and the Jadiciary Committee 275. In the course of the debates in the Bar Association, early in the winter, it was urged that it would be oxcvedingly unsate to allow these thirtoen chapters to become law on the Ist day of May, 1377, ag the new code would consist of at least twen:y chapters, aud it would bea perilous experiment to conduct the practice of this State, even for a short time, under portions of two codes, This argument was met by the statement, that long before May 1, 1577, the remaining chapters of the new code would become law, and the completed work would be placed tu the hands of the profession, This Statement proved to be erroneous, and the chapters necessary to complete the new code have not yet been acted upon by both houses of tho Legislature, It the State of New York is to be subjected to a radi- | eal chauge of its Code of Procedure two propositions woulg seem to be self-evident, ston te entitied to be put in pos 6, vl . ‘Secont—A sufficient time should be allowed, after tho completion of the code, to enable iawyers to become roa: sonably familiar with ts provisions, Tho Senate soem to have been unmindfal of the firat proposition, but were of opinion that whe thirteen of the new code should not go into effect jotober 1, 1877, The Assembly, having a duo regard for both propositions, were of opinion that the thirteen chapters sould uot go into effect antil May 1, 1878, thereby giving the vext my ee an oppor- tanity to compicte the new code, This was tho situa. tion of affairs on 0, when our legislators wero called upon to act in the premisos. Their duty was authority in the State bad pters should be amended, Th re radical, involving questions of the gravest import. Both houses had agiced on the propriety of postponement. It was portectly ap- rent to the dullest inember of the Awsembly that un- leas propor action was taken the administration of Jus- tico in the State of New York was to be conducted under two codes, while the portion 1 pronounced imperiect by competent authority, and ad- mitted to be #o in many respects by itsauthors, Yot, standing the gravity of this situation, the two ure, Under the intluence of per- sonal fociing, allowed the thirteen chapters of the new code in their unamendea condition to become law, thereby placing in jeopardy the millions of property involyed im the actions pending in the courts of this State, and imposing upon judges and lawyers untold ety and labor, As a piece of legr parallel in the bistory of CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATION. PABTMENT LAID BABE-—SEVEN WEIGHERS AND ONE HUNDRED MEN MIGHT BE’ DIS- PENSED WITH. The commission assembled yesterday on time, all the members being present, Mr. John Jay presiding Assistant Auditor Jacobs was recalied and examined, His testimony tended to give the practical working of the 100, and related also to the biring of the Naval Office. On this score he said that the present buliding had been rented from the Post estate for $32,000 per annum. It proved a vain undertaking to obtein a re- duction front this price, The building bas been re-loased for three years from the lst inst There were four gentlemen employed in his division over whom be had no control, Thes@ gentlemen prepare statistics for the Treasury Department at Washington and for various newspapers, Their ap- pointment came direct from tho Treasury Department, and these men had also been exempted from the gen- cral reduction of ten per cent made on all salaries prior to last Juiy by special orders trom Wasbington, Mr Southworth is the head of this bureau, A roll of the clerks of this division was exhibited by Mr, Jacobs to the commission; Mr. Jacobs likewise stated that y complaint made to the Collector for inefficiency on the part of a clerk in that division was promptly fol- lowed by the removal of the man. There was no sine- curist in that department. MYSTERING OF THE WRIGHER’S DEPARTMENT. Mr. Frank G, Wentworth was noxt sworn, and his statement was to tho effect that he was paymaster of the Weighers’ Department, and it was impossible tor his bureauto make any mispayments, He paid the employés im person, except where one was sick, then money was banded to the wife orchild, And again, where cases ariso that gangs of men are working in remote parts, say in Williamsburg, and it would be detrimental to the service to take the whole gang from their lavor one-half of the force is paid on coming to the office and the balance ts sent to the men who cannot getaway. In answer to Mr, Robinson’s q' Mon whether Mr, Wentworth koew of any gang being put ou the payrolls who do no work the witness hesi- tuted, und finally said, ‘I presume the next question will be who they are.” Mr. turnure—No! We want to know about the sys- tem—wo want to know your personal knowledge, Witness wanted the question framed differently. Mr. Juy—Do you think thesorvices of a portion of the mea could be dispensed with without injuring the service? Witness—Do you meun that the force could be re- duced? 1 should say 1t could, Mr. Jay—We don’t understand your hesitancy, r, Wentwort! Have you heard of any men being paid who do uot work? Witness—There are some who do not work, and some who do useless work, such as walking around the districts, “How many of the 388 men in your department are Breet do non work, or useless work; vhere 00 “Oh, no; 1 hi atew ip my mind; $30,000 a year is paid in my department; men appointed partly in rogard to political inuence; probably not more than 100 men could be dispensed with, which would easily suve the government $10,000 “Have weighers any possivie inte: mount ??? but the porson: ht to bear on the weighers is something fearful. Mr. Turnure—What does that pressure cost the government? “Well, probably if the 8 was carried on 66 & merchant conducts bis private affairs about one quar- ter could be saved.” eae the government could save about $75,000?” “Yes, “+11 that was out off would the work be better done ?”” “I know of no complaint about the way the work 1s done. I have heard weighors tell of being offered $5 and $19 for falsitying weights.’ Mr, Wentworth thought that the government lost no money by dishonest practices, but the number of weighers could be reduced trom thirteen to six. YACTS FROM THM STATISTICAL BUREAU, Mr. Joseph Southworth, chief of the Statistical Bu- eau, Was Dext called and sworn. This gentleman has been fifteen years connected with the Auditor's di- vision, has twenty-one men in his bureau, not coant- ing three who were engaged in preparing statistics for the press, and anotner, a Mr. James 8. Moore, who was uppointed direct trom Washington. In answer to the question what newspapers received the statistics Mr. Southworth stated that it was the Journal of Com- merce and one or two others, A rprabae ity pays for this work—the govern- ment Collector Arthur, who was present, said to the com- mission that the Journal of Commerce offered to in- crease the pay of these three clerks at its own ex- pense, but the government refused to allow it, Mr. Southworth continued—if he bad his own way and could organize the force of his bureau as ho deemed [apr ‘he could probably dispense with five clerks. Nouo of his men bad any outside employment, nor received ay gratuities. The personnel of his clerks was as good as any in the department.

MR. DALY STILL MISSING. No clew has yet been found to the whereabouts of Mr. Jobo T. Daly, owner of the Windsor Hotel, who disappearcd last Tucsday morning. His family and friends incline to the belief that he has met with foul play, while tho theory of the police is the usual and convenient one of suicide, No trace has been obtained of him since he lett the market, corner of Forty-fourth stroet and Fifth avenue, Metective Dunn, of the Cen- tral Office, has charge of the case, and is making di gent efforts to find the missing merchant. New York, Brooklyn and Je! City have been thoroughly searched, but without result. Mr. Daly is understood to have bad with him when last seen certain valuablo papers, which might hi furnished a motive for his belug foully dealt with, The theory of Buicide held by the police bas but shght foundation, On tast Tucsday morning a check of about $10,000 for the monthly rept of the Windsor Hotel was banded to Mr, Daly, but he preferred to Jeave it im the hotel office, saying that he would cali for it at some other time take the check when !t wus roady for him ig cited as a | mark of insanity, Ho 1# guid to have boca despondent and gloomy for some time past und to bave acted strang Then there is arumor about his business troubles, but it does not seem to be borne out by facts.
