WHERE IT WILL HELP THE CITY. ll Greater Efficiency and More Economy in the Bepartments. fHE GOOD PREDOMINATING. 4 Correspondent’s Views of Governor Robinson's Duty. pest Aunayy, May 4, 1877. To tar Epitor or THUR HXRALD:— The great importance to the city of New York of the so-called “Omnibus” bill, which passed the Assembly yesterday, justifies me in asking some space in your Paper to examine its provisions and to discuss tho efiect they wil! have on the municipal government Suould the bilkbocome ajaw. Ags, of course, supply you with my vame, while not desiring that it shall appear in print, you will, I am sure, recognize my legitimate interest in the welfare and progress of the metropolis, and your publication of my communica- tiov, if you allow it to appear im your columns, must be accepted us satisfactory proof that, although anony- mons, itis written by one who bag a right to speak in behuit of the people of New York. The matin evils from which we havo suffered in New York are attribatable to tho politicul use that ts made of the city offices and patronage, The politicians on both sides have regarded the money raised by (taxa- tion for the payment of salaries aud labor asa tund that may be legitimately used to promote tho inverosts of their respective parties, Tho leaders have sought to incroase their strength by giving the most active of their adhorents employment in the public depart. ments or labor at the public expense. Belore election the candidates for elective municipal offices bave allowed their supporters to bolieve that in the event of success ali who desire work will bo provided for, The aspirants for offices held by appointment have generally becn induced to pledge thomselves toa lbe- ral distribution of patronage in order to secure confirmation. As a necessary consequence the de- partments bave been overrun and choked up with the bangers on of political chie/s and cliques, The heads of departments are no longer pecuniarily dishonest, They will not steal the city’s moneys by raised war. rants and fraudulent vouchers. But they are, usa rule, under so much obligation to their parties, so hampered with pledges and so run down by impor. tunity, that they ure compelled to waste the public funds by disregarding the qualifications and needlessly swelling the number of employés, Of course the more political heads of departments we have the greater becomes this evil of burdening the city treas- ury with useless pensioners. Ata recent interchange of views betweon the municipal chiefs on the subject of the practicability of municipal economy, held in the Mayor's office, {t was amusing to see how each official favored a curtaliment of expenditure tn every department of the city government except the partic- ular one over which he happons to preside The “Omnibus” bill promises a lessening if nota rowoval of this evil—first by providing for a municipal tlection in the spring; next, by uispensing with the tondrmation of the Mayor's appointments by tho’ Board of Aldermen, and again by decreasing the pres- ent needlessly large uumber of Commissiovers, A char- Jer election in April will pot be £0 dependent on the political elements in the city as one held at the time of the general clection for Governors, Congressmon, Presidents, legislators and other political officers. Local interests and issues and the character and Sapacity of the candidates will be more attentively tonsidered, and the munteipal officers elected will in tonsequence be more independent of party machinery than they now are. Appointed officers will not be com- pelled to make bargains with a herd of hupgry and im- pudent Aldermen in order to secure confirmation. The decrease in the number of Commissioners wiil lessen the individual demand for places for the friends and adhorents of the beads of departments. The spring election commends itself to evory reflect ing citizen outside of the professional politicians. It bas been indorsed by the Committee of Seventy which framed “the proposed reform charter im 1872, by the municipal commission appointed by Governor Tilden, of which secretdy Evarts was the head, and by, I think, the unauimons voice of the New York press,’ The abolishment of the confirming power of the Aldermen is an important step in the direction of that concentration of responsibility in the Mayor, with- out Which We cannot expect efficient governinent. So Jar as practical economy is concerned tho bill wiil fave the taxpayers a consi le sun of money this year in salaries of Commissioners and oificers hbolished by its provisions, and by the consolidauon of departments, notably of the Dock and Building de- partments, the business of both of which can be as Well done at present without the existing expensive machinery. A dircet aud very desirable saving will be not the Aldermen’s salary {rom expenses of Common Council lt does not seem proper that the Aldermen, wmong whom may be found some profoundly ignorant men, should receive for uot more than two days’ work aweek from five to ten times a8 much sulary us 18 paid to educated teachers whose whole ime is em- ployed in arduous duties, The Board of Apportion- ment is given the power to revise and redetermine tho estitnates for 1877 In order to secure the advantage of these sayings at once. But the most importunt econ- pmy 18 that prousised by the lesseuing uf those politi- cal demands on the departments which now crowd the payrolls with needless subordinates and render it ime possible to manage the city offices as a mercbant Would manage his private business. Aside irom the question of economy L regard the decrease ia (he number of Commissioners as certain to add to the elliciency of the departments, We have pue Comptrolier aud one Commissioner of Public Works Whatever ts done in tho-e extensive and tm- portant departments is done on the responsibility of a Fingle head, and when the management 18° iveupuble every one Knows where to place the blame. | be- lieve the Parks, the Docks snd the Exeme depari- monts will every one be venefited by being relieved of mujtipliciy ot “‘vosses.” it seems to me also in every way prover and desirable that tho present divided authority in the streets should cease, that (he Park Department sbould have control only ‘ot the spaces embraced in the public parks, squares and places, ond that the control of all the streets and avenues in all parts of the city outside the park limits should ‘be centred in the Department ole Public Works. 1 may add that the abolition of the Dock Department appears to me to be expecially ae- firabie, ivasmuch as at present the expenditures of the department are nov controlled by the Lourd of Apportionment, as those of other departments are, Ue departivent is run under a jaw outside she cbs and very loosely araw As @ bureau of the Public Works Department the expenditures will be under the Bupérvision provided for iu the coarter aud the work will be done oy consr There are some teatures of the bill which [ should ike to lave seen altered. [be terms of oflice of aul heads of departments enould have been made to end with the ierw of tue Mayor appointing them, and thea the responsibiiity of the Executive for the good gov- eriment ot the city in wil 18 branches would be direct and compiete. I should buve liked to, have seen tho Breet cleaning Uusiness Lskeu out of the P partment, where tt has no right to be, der sole control of the Mayor on the direct respon: reetly this police; Nevertheless, as this ves me cor the Hewat ge hus not been mado, I be- With & strict su leve the small co system, yervision over the contractors vy thy police, Will at least be an tmprovemcat on our pl ant plan of political street sweeping, than winch tertainiy nothing could be woree.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE MAN FOUND IN A NINTH WARD GUTTER, The inquest on the body of John Ryan, the cooper, who was found dying tat Sunday morning in a gutter in Leroy street, was held yesterday evening in the Ninth ward station house by Coroner Ellinger, The back room was crowded by persons interested in this very mysterious uffair, and quite a number of wit- nesses testified, The three prisoners—Fout, Poole and Keenan—went upon the stand and related their expe- rience of the night of the murder; but, while oc knowledging that they wore in the neighborhoou of the scone of the bloody deed about the time it must have been commitied, they protested total tgnorance not only of the tragedy bat also of Rayan’s being in the samo street with them at twenty minutes past two o’clock on Sunday morning. Tho verdict ronderea by the jury was that Ryan died of blows roceived at the hands of somo persons among whom the prisoners wero believed to have been, Fout, Poole and Keenan were sent to the Tombs, Several witnesses were examined, Officer Carey | sworo that he found the deceased in a dying condition. Officer Scanlon said that he met the three prisoners following Ryan, or walking in the same direction as be was, shortly after two o'clock on Sunday morning. He asked them where they were gotng, and thoir reply Was that they wore waiting up to go W early mass, A. H. Regel and George Dellert statcd that tho prisoners had beon drinking 1m their saioons on Saturday night, and Dellert swore that Ryan had threatened to lick @ boarder of his at No. 80 Bedtord strect.

MASSACRES IN BOSNIA. HOBRORS RIVALING THE SCENES AT BATAKE—NO ‘TURKISH MERCY. [From the Manchester Guardian, April 21.] Lavatz, Bossiax-Croatias FRroytize, April 12, 1877, My telegram will already hi intormed you that 1 have succeeded in penetrating to the scene of the worst outrages that during the last {ew weeks have been committed by the Turks on returned and returo- ing Bosnian refugees, as well as on other peaceful rayab villagers who bad never left their homes. Be- sides visiting the burned and plundered homesteads at Uchievo, I have spent several days in hunting up the fugitives themselves, part of whom have found shelter in the mountain villages beyond tho Croatian frontier and part within the bospitable limits of {ree Bosnia. And let it be ‘well understood—for the Turks and their admirers will not be slow to seize on | any tmaginary palliation for thoi viliany— that all the outrages of which I write have been committed outside the limits of the district held py the insurgents; that they have been commit- ted solely on unarmed men apd helpless women and children; and, further, that they cannot be looked on A retaliation for any violence conimitted by the in- surgents, Inasmuch as tho insurrection has during the whole winter, and, in fact, ever since Despotovich took the command, remainedstrictly on the detensive. T have taken down the evidence of twenty-one of she victims, choosing geueraily fathers of families for the purpose, and as | saw these at diferent places, some op Austro-Huogariaa and somo on insurgent terri- tory, and as on all material points the ovideuce is singularly corroborative, I think you may rely on the accuracy of my report, After exam- ming several of the refugeos at Srob, on the Croatian frontier, and others at differont places among the mountains of treo Busnia (among which, with this object, | have made a four days’ march), 1 started from Sienitza Grad, tho extrome outpost of the insurgents in this direction, to make my way if possi- ble to the actual scene of the Oohievo outrages, In the insurgent camp at Stenitza Grad every one con- Spired to dissuade me from my project, They said that, though the ruins of Ochievo were deserted by the Turks, marauding bands of bashi-bazouks still lurked in the neighborhood, and that only two davs ago some haystacks on @ height above the villages, which had hitherto escaped, had been buroed by these gentry. Then the elements were unfavorable, 11 was necessary to enter the Tugkish parts of Bosnia to cross the Unnatz, but the rain and melting snow had so swollen tho river, always rapid, that the fords had be- coine impracticable, I swam the rivor and secured a guido, who agreed to conduct me to the scene of tho outrages. ONLY RUINS LEFT. After a Weary ascent and partial descent of a monn- tain neck We urtived at the scene of the outrages, and 1 found thatall that the various witnesses had described to mo as touching sue destruction of property was gtrictly true. A moro hideous sceno of havoc I have never scen and Dever wikh to see again. Two home- steads aloue remainod unburned, saved from destruc: tion, 16 pposed, by their Mobammedan landlords; but even these were partially wrecked and entirely gutted. All the other houses were burnt to the ground, though here and there one or two of the wickerwork storehouses for maize, usual among the Bosnians, had been merely rifled of ther contents and not tur- ther destroyed; the Turks had lolt a fow of the hives to bo refilled, What made the havoc even moro melancholy was its two- fold characier, There were first the bluckoned foun- dations of the homesteads burved the other day, with . 1877—WITH SUPPLEMENT. the fresh smell of fre upon them, and side by side with these the dévris of the tormor villago, burned the Turks 00 the 24th of June of last year. Tue foun. dations of the former homesteads were largor as well ag more pUMerous than those of the huts which the returning refugees had vontured to rebuild, and formed o striking commentary on the iteued circum: stances of the uulortunate people. in the former village there wero, if my information 48 corract, over forty families, In the village, Or rather two villages, Just destroyed I reckoned wwenty-one burned buts an two unburned, which agrees with the number of families mentioned to me by name by a variety of witnesses. The havoc was of the most thoroughgoing kind. ery little article of domestic use that bad not been carricd ofl—-pots, rags of sacking and clothes—were soattered pell-mell, broken, torn and trampled under foot. ‘© and there maize or beans had been scatiered on the ground in the process of carrying the plunder of. To discover the tittle hoards of money which the rayub families might poseess the piliagors bad in many cases grubbed up the earth floor of tho buts, and in one 1 saw the actual hole from which tho hoard of the most well-to-do family—amounting, so my guido declared, to £8 in paper money, but this 1s probably an exaggeration—bad been grubbed out by tho bashi-bazouks. THKY FOOLISHLY RETURNE I will now give you the results of the evidence I have collected from (ue victims as to the actual vccur- rences at Great aud Little Ochievo and two other ham- lets situated in the neighboring Cerljevitza moun- tuins—namely, Kiekovacha and Vaganutz, Regarding the Ochievo outrages 1 have examined thirteen wit nesses. Three of these—David, Militza and Abja Karanovich—I_ saw at Serb, on the Croatian border; one, Gregor Pavelich, at ‘Lapatz, also within the Grenze; nine—namoly, Lax.r Shipka, Vid Rodich, Giuro Shipka, Milan Rodich, Milan Karanovich, Jovan ‘Tankosich, Stefan Karanovich, Mihatio Rodich and Biaze Karanovich—at_ sienitza Grad, in tree Bosaia; and the wife of the murdered Vaso Karanovich at Boboijusha, also in tree Bos. the approach of the Turks, on Jane 24 of last yi the villagers fled mostly to Austrian soil, leaving their homes to be burned and pillaged. ‘The extreme misery, however, of the retu- gees ov this part of the Hungarian frontier, tho ap- proach ol winter and the impossibility of procuring fodder for the cattle they had succeeded in carrying with them induced the fugitives to crave pormission 10 return irom their Mohammeden landiords—namely, Muyo Kurtaghick, Osman Aga Andjich and Nedyim and Ismail Begs Kalenovich, all resiaent in Kulen Vakup. ‘Lho begs, who are beginning to suffer severely from the want of serfs to supply their noeds, promised the Ochievers tbat it they returned they should bo unmo- Josted, and accordingly most of tho families actually did roturn and rebuilt their burned cottages. The names of the heads of tho ous families who re- turned and the numbers of each family were given me as follows:— David Karanovich, 17: Damian Karanovich, 19; Djuro Karanovich, o Karanovich, 7; Parro Karanovich, Mili Karanovich, 7; Hija Karanovicl lane Karnnovieh, 11; Trifan Sharits, 13; Pers Shara Mihailo Kodich, Vid Rodien, 27; Marko shipks. 17; Ohad Snipka, 10; Djnro shipk Nikola Shipks, 12; Pero Shipka, 6; Luks nia On Kodich, 8; Milan Tankosich, ‘11;° David Tankor 8) mii Tankosich, 5; Blaze Stenich, 8; Mili Stenieh, & ‘otal, 231, ONLY ONK MONTH AGO On Saturday, March 10, a body of bashi-bazouke, estimated by the Villagers at about a hundred, under the leatersnip of Ali Beg Trorka, Majo Beg Bivano- vich and Ah Beg Kulenovich (who, however, arrived rather late in the day), made their appearauce in tho Jower village. Tbey plaoderea the house and barn of David Karanovich, seized all bis corn, the clothing they found in the house, and, tt his deposition made to ine 1s correct, took from him forty-tivo goats, about filty sheep, oigbteen oxen and one horse, They robbed in the same way three other families, They thea pro- ceeded to the toure of the villago elder or Knez, the elected represeniative of the community, who re- ceives a kind of official seal from the Turkish author- jues. What follows 1 bave trom his wife. A bash. bazouk seized him on either side, while a third despatched bim with pistol shots, Another member ot wwe family, feto Karanovich, was wounded in the arm, bat os head of ‘the murderod Knoz, Vaso Karanov ben cut off and carried away. ‘Tbe women and girls were stripped of the girdles and olber ornaments that they possessed, and the trregu- lars were prosceding to outrages of A more shameiul kind when stopped by the timely arrival of Ali Beg Kulenovich, wuo succeeded on this occasion in re- straining his retainers. The Turks then made off with their booty to Kulen Vakup, carrying with them in triumph the bead of the village elder. Another of my witnesses, Geajor Povichich, of Borichevatz, who, though a Cunisuan, is employed on various errands ucross Uroatian border by the Turks of Kulen Vakup, bappened to be there when the murderous gong returned, The Mudir said that it was no use kicking the bead about the strects, and that they had better give it to the Giaour to bury, which ne adcord- togly dig. BCHNES OF RAVINE. Meanwhile tt was mooted that hight in Ochtevo whether to fly at ouce or not, but the weatber was bit. terly cold, A flerce bora, the tempestuous north wind of Tilyra, was blowing and the snow Iny aeep; so it was decided to postpone their departare. Next day (Sun.ay) the Turks appeared again, butin larger wum- bers. fing (o all necounts there were trom 200 dils and trom 400 to 500 bashi-bazouke, Thi leaders were the Kaimakam ot Pettovatz, the turk: Prefect mond the supreme government oilicial of tl disirict, while Alt Lrovka and Ali Kulenovich rep. resentea the begs, The troops cane from Kulen Voknp, Petrovatz and Bielaj. Ten foliowed a scone ‘of iudisctimimaie plunder apd rapine. An attempt was made to seize the house fathers of the village, but, warned by te fate of their Kuez, they all succeeded in escaping. Many of the girls and women, however, fell into the bands oi tho marauders; tho girdies and oranments were torn from those who still possessed thein; the more youthiul among them wore get apart f worse t According to tho lowest estimate ten of them fell victima to Turkish lust; ac- cording to the wife of tho villugo elder, who provably knew more than the mon, about @tteen. They wero very retivont about names. and 1 would not press this point, Tho Turks pursued the refugees to the Unnata, titimg oa them on the way; aud tho two cartriages that I picked up formed a strik- {ng corroboration of this part of the evidence. The river was happily thew low and easily fordable, but the pursuers came up with some women and cbiluren on tho bank, and fleng Simeona Shipka, a young Woman, anda child, Via Skipka, mto tho water, Both of these were saved, but one woman, Stana Karanovich, with a baby in her arms, was seized by these rufllans, and the mother’s arms wero mado use of to throw her child into the water, where it was drowned, This tearful statement I heard trom the father of the cbild, Blaze Kuranovich, and it was cor- roborated by other witnesses. Another woman, with child, was seized, and Was #0 torrilied that she gave birth prematurely, The Turks did not attempt to pur- suo veyond the Unnais, fearing to enter insurgent ritory. After burning the two villages they mado off, Jen with all the stores and movables on whion they ha been able to lay thei! nda, and with large droves o| cattle also taken from the villacer&. The total pumber of | animals carried off by them, ag nearly as | could arr: at it, was 460 sheep and goats, 56 oxen and 27 ho: E Fe the usual soenes wok place, in an ad an en | cent vill the nousea were first pilaged burned. Throe brothers of the Pope--namely, Vutch:m, Pero and Hija Ketaman—and Toreta and Vutebim, Kinsmen of the same family, five inall, were mur- dered. The number of cattle ited was about 250 goats and sheep, 60 oxen and 10 horses The women and girls suffered the usual fate. Tae Pope, who was Jess reticent on this matter than the Ochiovo witnesses, mentioned to me five of the Ketzman tamtly—Militza, Maria, Smiliana, Rushitza and Mara—who had beeu thus outraged. The f the murdered nen were cut of and taken to Petrovatz, THEY WILL NKVER SUUMIT NOW. ‘These events, which | have done ull in my power to Investigate and fe pubic, are but a sample of what, on 4 greater or er scale, bas been oceurring and 18 still occurring througbogt the length and breadth of Bosnia and Herzegovina, In a single district of the province, inthe month succeeding the promulgation | of the now constitution, inrce peacetul villages have been burned and plundered, over eight hundred head of cattle have been taken from their Christian owners, eleven men and three children murdered—and indi- rectly how many more ?—and at least a score of girls und Women ouiraged. Multitudes sre now cowering suppliants. for. charity on Christian soil, the indigna- ton of neighboring Siav populations has been fed, the Bosniau. insurrection bas been swolled by desperatc men, and, whatis more, the Turkish government is absulutely powerless, even it it had the will, either to punish the ringleaders or to give redress to the victims OF to guarantee them security for tbo future. 18 NOT RUSSIA JUSTIFIED? In face of facts like these it is monstrous to babble of protocols and diplomatic amenities, or even of con- sular commissions. Every miid inierterence at stam- voul or Serajevo only irritates the dominant caste in the provinces to new deeds of horror. {t is iniquitous to ask tho rofugees to return, or to express bland hopes that the brothers and husbands of the murdered, the robbed ana the ravished will tay down their arms, There w only one remedy for the state of things in Bosnia—an immediate Austrian occupation of the province, to be followed either by final incorporation with the monarchy or the prolonged administration of the proyiueo by « European commission.

Judge Wandell issued a warrant for Montgomery’s arrest, and accompanied by Officer Tes- saro, of the Court squad, Miller proceeded to tho rendezvous in Union square indicated by Montgomery in hig lester. SMiller and OMicer Tessaro awaited patiently Montgomery’s coming on Wednesday evening, but he failed to appoar ond both left On re Thursday Montgomery called upon his sister, tho wile of Miller, and was violent in his munver to the extent of threatening to ake ber homo desolave”’ unless her busbunu acted “squarely” tn the distribution of tueir uncie’s estate, jo added that be would be in Union square on Friday morning 4t nino o'clock, to meot Miller, aud he and Miller would then aud there settle 16 between them. Yesterday morning Miller and Oficer Tessaro were both in the Park awaiting Montgomery’s appear- ance, Miller seated himself on one of the benches, and a few minutes oclapsing Montgomery appeared and accosted his brother-in-law :— “What aro you going to do?” asked Montgomery. “Nothing,” replied Miller, as be quietly notined OMi- cer Tessaro, who immediately advanced and took Montgomeey Into custody. THE STOKY OF THE BSTATE, The prisoner and his browhe: aw Miller were thereupon confronted before Judge Wandell, who took a formal complaint againat Montgomery and committed bim for examination, which 1s set down for Monday, May 7, atten o'clock, Tho dispute between the two brothers-in-law. as fur ascan be ascertained, urises out of tho will of David Roa, an aacio of Montgomery, and fore merly sontor partner of the firm of Rea & Pollock, plumbers, doing business at the corner of Cortianut and Greenwich streets. Rea commitied suicide ou the 6th of March, 1871, at No. 17 Jay street, whore he then resided, by cutting bis throat with a yr. The sui cide was attributed to partnership difficulties, ulthough Rea was in roslly good circumstances at the time of bis death. Singularly jor # suicide, Rea lett a will enumerating no less than twelve beneticiries who wore lo sharo in bis estate. Among these were the prisoner, Jobn W. Montgomery, bis brothors D. W. and A.’ J. Montgomery and’ J. R Montgomery Mrs. Mary Crookham, of Knoxville, Onio, sisior of the prisoner, and six obildren of a deceased brother, us also Mra. Miller, wife of the complainant iu this case, Willam A. Miller and Joba W, Rea were bumed as oxecutors, but Jobn W. Rea failed to quality and the entire ostute came under the control of Wi! jam A. Miller, Miller sold the real estate, and, as be claims, divided the proceeds equitably among those entitied to 1% The sum realized was $114,000, that being exclusive ot the personal estate belonging to th decedent. Atthe time of tho tostutor’s suicide it 18 alleged that $15,000 im money and seouritios were found in a trunk and never properly accounted tot Miller, the executor, on the contrary, alleges that ail the personal property which ever came under his con- trol amounted to but $6,000, and that amount is now in litigation. John W. Montgomery, the prisonor, was represented {n the Surrogate's Court by Mr, Isaac Van Winkle. The latter gentieman states that Mr. Miller, the oxecutor, wus very stubborn abd cuused a great deal of unnecessary htigation tn the settiomeat of the estate, but his conduct did not necessarily imply fraud.’ A large portion of the estate lett by the d ecased dovolved upon Miller’s wife, and hence the Jealousy of tho colegatees. CRIME BEFORE STARVATION. A young man of sickly appearance, giving the namo of Robett Rivington, was charged at the Tombs Police Court yesterday with forging the name of Oliver Titus to un order for $25 on Herman Matileld, of 302 Greenwich street, The prisoner pivaded guilty, and suid that he was sickly and unable to work. He com- mitted the forgery prelerring State Prison to starva- tion. He was committed for trial. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, ERD ERS MARRIED.
