RAPID TRANSIT New York June 6, 1877, To THe Eprtor ov THe HeraLp:— It Mr, Purdy, member of the Legislature from Weat- chester, “asserted that of the twenty-one members of the lower House trom the city of New York only tour--Mossrs, Eeciesine, Mitchell, O'Hare and Lang- poin—lavored rapid transit,” then Mr. Purdy made a vory great mistake. If “Mr, Ecclesine condirmed this statement in general terms’ be also made a mistake. The undersigned, one of the twenty-one, will be surprised and disappointed it it is in the power vi ‘any searcher alter truth’? to show that when Tapid transit was the question he voted on the wrong side, When the Ecclesine bill was before the House was prosirated by sickness, and, therefore, took no pitt in the discussion or vote. Later the question wus fore the Assenibly and I voted. ‘To that vove | refer as to my position. If “the meeting last night was culled to bear from members of the Legislature what were the impediments placed tn the way of rapid trau- sittin the last Legislature’ common courtesy would seem to require of the gentlemen in charge of the meet- ing the members of the Legisiaturo be invited. I received no invitation, and some of my collengues have already compiaimed to me of the same want of attention, Respecttully, THOMAS F, GRADY, A NEW GARBAGE SITE, “The ashes and garbage dumping up the Hudson River, near Bull’s Ferry, by order of the Street Clean- not denied by Captain Gunner or Com- iehols. They say, howevor, there is noth- jng “surreptitious” about the operation, as though that fact made the nuisance any the less a nuisance, Cnp- tain Gunner says that every night ‘a tow” of scows goes up the Hudson as fer as Bull’s Ferry toa place known as Sneider’s Landiag, the property of H. B. Crosse. It is a marsh and bas not beon of much service to the proprietor. When the Police Commissioners wero at their wits’ ends a short time ago to finda dumping ground Mr. Crossett mado application for the garbage, his pbject being to Mill up his marshland, “with tho (ntention of making it @ pleasure ground for noliday seekers ip the summer time.” Shi trees were to bo planted, baseball und croquet grounds Jaid out and the Place was to be Jet out to picknicimg Sunday schools, &c., in the futare. Captain Guoner says Mr, Cros- selt’s application Was granted and the Department has ever since farniahed him with all the ashes and ‘stuil’” he wunted, A DOG SMASHER, “One of the most cruel and cold-blooded outragos I have ever prosecuted,” said President Bergh, of tho Bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in the Court of Special Sessions yesterday, by way of ex- planation of the next case on the calendar, The pri- soner was a frowsy, tow-headed young man of the un- washed and unterrified stamp, the hard lines of whose sountenance showed the entire absence of any sympa- thetic hoart throbs fur the suiferings of the aumb treation. ‘James Hannegan,” said tho Court, “you are charged with crucily and maliciously killing a dog by dashing its head against a stone wall Are you guilty or not guilty’”’ Tho prisoner squirted a mouthful of tobacco juice on the stone pillar by his side 10 @ nou- sort of way wod thecierk shouted, “Not Michael Costello, tho proprictor of a Ninth street stand, was tue first witness for the prosecution, tt ly evident that bis sympathies were prisoner. seo bim take the dog gies neck and dash him Wall?” asked Mr. Bergh.

In passing the ordinance it was the intention of the Aldermen to give the Mayor entire control of tho moneys paid in for licenses, so that he might expend all that was necessary for building the pound, paying dog catchers and other incidental matters. It now appeass that no such authority bas been delogated. Tne Board of Apportionment fixed the points as to providing funds for erecting the dog pound by making a transfer last week tor that purpose, but the qnestion arises, Whero is the money to come from to pay the dog catchers? amount paid to Mr. Hart, chief clerk of the Permit Bureau, for dog licenses, which pow reaches over $17,000, 14 appears must go iDto the Sinking fund, and the Mayor cannot lay his Anger on s penny of i nu conversing on the subject yesterday Mayor Ely said that, in order to pay the dog catchers, he will probably take $2,000 from the $4,000 appropriated for contingencies in his department. At twenty. five cents a a for each captured canine this will pay for 8,000 animals. A ‘“MISH-MASH.” ‘When Company I, “Veterans” Ninth regiment, dis- posed of its regular monthly business, paying duea, fines and enrolling new members last evening, it fled out on Twenty-sixth street and was presently inside of @ beer saloon, where the veterans have been in the habit of holding and eating their annual ‘mish-mash,” an Ojibbeway term supposed to siguity a variety of many things, smoked beef and beer, sand- ‘wiches and cigars, pipes and pretzels, songs and salta tory motions ot a fearful and wonderiul character—in short, a regular mish-mash, This tho veterups enjoyed till past midnight. Though dubbing themselves *‘vet- eraus” few of the members of Company I appeared to have been old enough atthe time of the war to carry anything more desperately belligerent than a pair of drumsticks. But if their war record be slight their capacity for social enjoyment and for getung out- sido a good river of beer is not to be questioned. Songs of every possible kind were sung and there was a touching spirit of fraternity manilested in all tho speoches that were made. Captain George J. Hussey presided. ‘I'he exponse of the entertainment was borne by the ‘non-commissioned privat scribed on their curds of invitation. wore a unifor THE PRESENT AND THE PAST. During the present week the will of the late Mra, Marcia Alden Welch, widow of Captain Robert Williams Welch, was admitted to probate in the Kings County Surrogate’s Court. Deceased, who was eighty-five years of age, was a native of Duxbury, Mass., and was a lineal descendant of John Alden, of Plymouth, Mass, Among the bequests appear the subjomed:—*! givo my old chair, which came to this country in the ship Ann, in 1623, which at that time was the property of Mrs. Alice Southworth aud afterward the property of the descendants of Jobn erie | to the Pilfrim Society, of Plymouth, Mass. Aud direct that the same be added to the collection of Puritan curiosities at Pilgrim there to remain for- ever as a connecting link between the present and the past.”? To the New Jerusalem Church is beq hed ull her books and pamphlets, Two bundred dollars is leit to the pastor of said church, to be invested in books on the Swedenborgian docirine, to be added to the library, ‘The interest of $500 is given to provide a Christmas dinner annually for tho inmates of the * as was in- None present ; Mariners’ Family Asylum, known as the Old Ladies’ Home, on Staten Island, of which institution the do- ceased was one of the founders. THE MISSING AUSTRIAN BONDS. In relation to the sult of the Austrian government against Mr, Ephraim W. Buck, ex-County Pnysician of Hudson county, New Jersey, te recover bonds alleged to have been stolen from the Austrian government by man who alterward committed suicide in Huboken, id whose effects fell into the hands of Dr. Buck, as County Physiciun, an explanation is offered by 4 gentle- man Who represents himself ag a friend of the Do@tor, He says that Dr, Buck now lives ard Is practising medicine in Oakland, Cal. ; that ho bad no idea of ab- sconding, and that be can be communicated with at any time. This information, if correct, will prove valuable to the representative of the Austrian govern- ment in this country during the approschiug trial in the Court of Chancery ot New Jeracy. CROSS PURPOSES. The disputes over the crossings of the various rail- roads on the route from Brooklyn to Coney Island have been a prolific source of occupation among the lawyers during the past fow months. The roads first established guard with great jealousy their right of ‘way, and contest every effurt of the now steam enter- prises to cross their tracks. Judge Dykman, of the Kings County Supreme Court, granted un application on tho part of counsel for the New York and Sea Beach Railroad Company, on Tuesday last, fur permis- sion to cross the track of the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Railroad. Yesterday afternoon a gang of workmen employed by the new company prosceded to lay the cross tracks at Conover’s lane. The consequence was that when tho dummy on the old road, which is owned by ex-Mayor Gunther, reached that point, ut two o'clock, the train was compelled to return to Gowanus, A party of laborers was then despatched to relay the tracks and to prevent any further inter- ference with the road. When the rival working forces met au angry discussion took place. Superiptendent Campbell was notified, and ordered a dozen inen to preserve the peace, Ths presence of the police had the desired eflect, and work was procceded witn quietly. IMITATING THEIR ELDERS. Timothy Shea, a youth of fourteen, and Michael Walsh, twelve years of age, had a quarrel on Tuesday night in Fourteenth str Jersey City, about three cents which Shea found and which Walsh claimed be- longed to him. Walsh struck Shea and the Iatter promptly drew a knifo and stabbed Walsh in the back, The wounded boy was taken to St Fran- cis’ Hostal, Dr, Kneuter pronounced the wound to be of a dangerous character, as the blade had pene- trated the leit lung. Dr, Varick, of the hospital staff, however, examined the boy yesterday and said ho ro- ceived only a slight fesh wound, trom which ho will rapidly recover PAYING PENSIONERS. Among the pensioners yesterday paid off by the gov- ernment agent were Jobn J. Earle, aged eighty-seven; James English, eighty, and Edward Suow, cighty- four, Snow served during the last war in the Ninoty- seventh Pennsylvania regimont, He lost both arms in action, and receives a pension each quarter of $150, ON THE WING, JUSTICE Chancelior Runyon, Judge Nixon, of the United Statos District Court, and Henry S. Little, Clerk of the Court of Chancery of New Jersey, and other prom- inont Jerseymen, sailed for Europe yesterday in tho Cunard steamer Abyssinia. They were accompanied by a largo party of Newarkers, who engaged the sieamer Magenta for the occasion. ‘Brief speoches at parting were delivered by Governor Boale, ex-Gov- ernors Parker and Price and Chancellor Runyon, The Magenta escorted the Abyssinia down tho bay. ASSAULTING A CHILD. A diminutive danseuse named Winnie Johnson, who is said to be not more than ten years of ago, made a sorious charge before Judge Kilbreth yesterday, against Frank Bolton, tho manager of the Bowery Garden, No. 104 Bowery, where she 1s employed. iunie, who hus been on tho stage since she was six yaa of age, and who |sa very precocious child, told His Honor in a clear manner that Botton had on Saturday night Inst committed an assault upon her in tho dressing room. Bolton was held ip $300, bail, MEN OF CONFIDENCE, ‘The confidence men who were arrested on Tuesday for swindling a number of merchants by means of bogus checks came up betore Judge Duly yesterday. There were two complaints taken agatnst Luxton and three against Michael Lowry, oneach of which they were held in $3,000 bail. A number of merchants who have suffered at the hands of the gang these men be- long to calied at the Central Office yesterday, but wero unabie to identify either of tho three arrested, The prisoner Jones was remanded to Police Headquarters, THE CORONERS’ WORK.

To rus Epitox oy THe HERALD;— The pubiic pave been waiting more than two weeks for the proper authorities to close up a dangerous hole in the middle of West Thirty-foarth street pier. It is the width of an ordivary plan and about eight feet in lengiu, At least one lady is known to have fallen in. ELEVATED RAILROAD FPABES. To tne Epiror oy Tux Heraup:— Why ia it the E1evated Ruilroad does not sell a pack- age of tickets (containing ten) for loss than $1? Many of the writer's friends would use tbat means of riding up and down town in preference to horse oars if thy reduction was made, SAVE. ASHES AND GARBAGE, To run Epiror ov Tux Herauy:— 1 take the liberty of addressing you from read- ing « lotter in your ‘Complaint Book” beaded ‘Ash Barrel) Row in Ann Street.’ It it was only in Ann street it would be o small matter, bat it is all over vho city, looking like so man; soldiers waiting to be inspected, except the uni- form, and now and then a drunken one lying in the gutter, which might be called the Maabattan Gutter- suipe Guards, ‘There is w remedy for all this; I have a vault built in the sidewalk whicu contains two vessels, and will accommodate seventeen families; it removes everything from the sidewalk, under stoops and houses, aud separates asbes from yurbage; always ready for depositing and emptying. J. We P. EEEP THE SADBATH, To tux Epitor ov tak HeRaLp:— On 126th street, near the school Bouse and the Harlem Congregational church, 1s a candy stand, kept there during the week for the accommodation of the school children, and jor the past few weeks open also on Sunday, to the discomfort of church-goers, and a great temptation to the many Sunday school children who have to pass it on their way to Sunday scbool. Moral torce will do no good. Can the law touch the case? or must we go on seeing the Sabbath there dis- regarded ? A CHURCH-GOER, A JUST COMPLAINT. To run Epiror or tae Henap:— As a householder on the south side of East Four- teonth street, between Second aud Third avenues, 1 most emphatically object to the storage of various curls, &¢., on the opposite side of tho street. The nuisance js now of several months? duration, and tt is quite time that it should bo abated TAXPAYER, AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION, To tie Evitor or Tux HERALD:— Would it not be better to have music at the Park in the cool of the evoning, say from six until eight o’olock, instead of as now during the hottest part of tho afternoon? I believe it this suggestion were fol- lowed the people would much more enjoy the ‘food of jove,”” E. A.M. WATER IN OHURCHES, To Tue Eviror or thn HeraLp:— Iam a regular church-goer, though not to any par- ticular church, Our churchos, though weil ventilated, every one will admit are very warm, as is natural for them to bo at this period of the year. After sitting quietly some half or an hour a person toels purched und uncomfortable, Our churches should, | think, make some arrangements to supply us with water, which could be placed at the entrance, and which would occasion very little expense or trouble, Some will say this would create the disturbance of having people running in and out all tho while during the ser- vice. Anybody will perceive that thore is no reasov for anything of this kind, ML, M. A QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP, To tax Epirox or THE Hzraup:— Who owns Reservoir Park? Is it public or private property? Sitting in my window this hot summer evening observing the onjoyment of the people—mon, women and children—gathored there in crowds I no- ticed that at precisely seven o’clock they began moving 1m squads toward the gates, and presently one of the “men in gray’? was observed, with club tn hand, order- ing out the loiterers. lo eight minutes the purk was cleared and tho gates jocked. Mentally I asked tho question, “Have the citizens of New York any rights which her officials are bound to respect?” Can you tell mot CITIZEN, A POSTAL DIFFICULTY, To tux Eptror ov tux Heraup:— _ Can either Postmasters James or Talbot explain why a postal card put in the Brooklyn Post Office on the morning of the 29th of May, and directed in a plain, legible band to a box in the New York office bas as yet (uae, 1) not reached its destination? True, it has only wen op its way four days and 1 may get it yot. Bat, seriously, even though itshould come to hand to-day, 1s not eighty-four hours a long jime fora lowter to go legs than two miles? RL L, DRUG CLERKS, To rus Epitor or THR HERALD:— . Seeing that your ‘Complaint Book” bas been the meuns of abating many evils, I would respecttully call the attention of the Board of Pharmacy to those druggists of our great city who employ clerks to dis- pense physicians’ prescriptions without having passed an examination before tho Board of Pharmacy. Now, the law compels all druggists and clerks to pass an examination betore said Bourd, and if found thor- oughly competent in the different branches he receives a license, which authorizes him to dispense medicines in the city of New York. Now a great many drug- gists of this city employ clerks who have not comphed with the above law and who are unfit to dispense medi- cines 1) any shape or form, especially physicians’ pro- scriptions, Which should be dispensed by thoroughly competent apothecaries. LICENTIATE OF PHARMACY, SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE STOPPED, ‘Lo Tux Evirox or tux HenaLo:— ‘fhe train on the Central Railroad of New Jersey arriving at Westficld from New York at half-past seven A.M. (ten minutes before the train bn which many of the Henatp readers ride into New York city) is sup- posed to carry to the local news ayents along the line the morning city papers, The newsboy at Westfeld (who, by the way, pays in advanco for bis package of papers) has beon told on arrival of said train tor sev- eral days past that his papers—including your valu- able shect—are missing, but “are aboard of train— have no time to jook them up,’’ and, consequently, the boy 1s mado to suffer the loss, and the HERALD readers obliged to ride often hal! an hous before tho pews agent on the train puts in an appearance, and then to be still further annoyed by betng told that the agent “can’t spare any Hxraps.”” Now, Mr, Editor, 1 am unable to @ whether it is by design or care- leseness that the package tor Westileld js so often among the missing, but from certain rumors in cir- culation that the train agents feel not altogetuor friendly to the local news agents, the annoyed com- muters, railroad officials and all partes concerned may draw their own conciusions. Hoping thut the facts of this bit of annoyance being brought to the at- tention of tho public muy produce a speedy remedy, Tama COMMUTER AND HERALD READER, THE BOGUS EXTRA NUISANCE, To tux Epirox or Tuk HeRALv:— In the vicinity of my residence from time to time ‘wo are annoyed with boys crying out, “Extral Groat Disaster!’ &e, On Friday evoning last wo boys (or rather men), crying, “Extra!

ANNOYED ONE, SAINTLY LUST. HASTENING TO ITS DOOM—THE FRENZY OF QUILT AND DESPAIR. [From the Janesville (Wis.) Gazette.) An attempt has been made to assassinate a New York Heraup reporter at Sult Lake City. Mormonism is hastening to its doom when, with the revelations lately made of the guilt of its leaders in the foulest of murders, they countenance a continued use of such means in a vain attempt to silence investigation. Such acts Indicate the trepzy of guilt and despair. ASSASSINATION THE DIRECT BESULT OF MOR- MON TEACHINGS. {From the Rutland Herald.) 1: is probable that Brigham Young is in no way per- sonally responsible tor these attacks upon the HeRaLp correspondent, but they are none the less the direct result of his teachings and the legitimate continuation of his original policy. NO DOUBT OF BRIGHAM’S COMPLICITY, (From the Providence Journal.) The government of the United States, through tho courts, is endeavoring to bring to justice the-Mormons implicated in the massacre of twenty years ago, for participation m which Bishop J.ce has recently been judicially shot, Moraily speaking, there is not tho slightest doubt that Brigham Young was an accessory before the fact, por thut there were survivors who were active in the massacre, who are known and against whom might be brought up legal proof. Young is laboring to stave off proceedings, in the hopo that Congress will interfere in bis behalt, or at any rate refuse to grant an appropriation to ald the prose- cution, Whatever may be thought of any aggressive dealings with the Mormons as Mormons by the federal government, there cannot be two opinions about the duty to punish those who were concerned in the ter- rible murdors of the emigranta, all that can be done in this direction we have no doubt will be done by Congre: nd before its meeting the Inttmation that Young, by the expenditare of money ip lobbying, can effectually disarm justice, 18 one which we shall not believe well grounded until compelled to do so by the actual facta, THE WILL OF THE LORD AND THE WILL OF THE UNITED STATES, (From the Sacramento Union.) The evidences of a Mormon uprising are accumulat- ing. Brigham Young has been and will continue to ve held responsible forall the bloodshed in tho Terri- tory and his hierarchy would not at this day survive another Mountain Meadows massacre. Of all persons, it would seem he Is the most interested in preventing violence, Tho latest phase of the situation, as re- ported from Salt Lake, is to the effect that Brigham inteuds to gather 10,000 Indians in Thistle Valley, ‘to do the will of the Lord.”? 10 this end Mormon set- Uers in that valley have been notified to leave, which would seem to indicate that they are not willing the Indians should do the will of the Lord upon them. This may afford a clew to what Brigham means by the “will of the Lord,” but it is already understood that in this modern Judea, as in tho ancient, the worst atrocities—those of which devils should bave been ashamed—are ascribed to the Lord. It 1s not clear, however, where Brigham is to gatber his 10,000 In- dians from, and it is still less clear how they can do tho will of the Lord on aay extonded scale in a de- populated valley, for it is evident that the advent of the Indians and the hegira of the Mormons will be sufficiént warning to thoGentiles. Some things, how- ever, ure vory c.ear. Among them may be noted the fact that if 10,000 or any other number of Indians are gathered in any valley of Utah, und muke any hostile demonstrations, the United Stutes troops will do the will of the government upon them summarily. A SERIOUS PROBLEM--HOW OAN IT BE SOLVED? [From tho Atlanta Constitution.) ‘What ts the way out of the entanglementy» We can refuse to admit Utah os a State. Butsuch an arbitrary measure would not solve the problem, We could di- vide the Territory among the adjoining States and Ter- ritories—Nevada taking a slice, Colorada another and the Territories of Idaho, Moutana and Arizona absorb- ing the balance, This is perhaps a feasible solution, It would, howeveryproveke war, cltner at the-outset oF ‘when the States and Territories undertook to stamp out the institution within their respective borders, Anotherromody is time. It isatill believed that the com- pletion of tho Pacific road wil: enable the people of Utah to work out a reformation from within, This plan would be constitutional and bloodless, but would it be effectual? Will the Gontiles increase faster than the Mormons? Wili the power of the one gain on that of the otber? Doubtful. The truth is, we have a serious question on our hands—one that is pressing to the front—one that possibly embraces a rcligious war of no small dimensions, And the government will bo compelled to exercise aconsiderable degree of vigi- Jance until this question, which has been‘In abeyance over twenty-five years, is finally stricken from the cal- endar, BSAINTLY COMPLACENOY, [From the Deseret News.] The “Mormons” have no causo to get excited or alarmed when they are threatcucd, abused or slan, dored, for the reason that they aro in the right, and they invariably come out on the upper side of a con- troversy. In fact, it may be safely said they have no controversy with individuals or people, unless one is thrust upon them. 1b 18 one thing to make a great nbise and blow about what thecountry is going to do in wiping out tho “Mormons,” and it is entirely another thing to do it. It is easy to accomplish such a work in theory, on pa- per, but very difficult to put into actual effect, 1n our opinion the country is not prepared to do anything so very rash, crue! and unjust as a few rabid, covetous people might desire. The country would not be likely even to attempt such measures without first investigating as to their necessity, and tatr and impar- tial investigation always, without fail, spoils the game of the anti-'*Mormon’? fire-eating alarmiets, A GREAT KNAVE, BUT NO FOOL. [From the Williamsport Gazette.) Brigham Young is a great knave, but he is no such fool as to call down the heavy arm of tho general gov- ernment by an open rebellion. FRIGHT OF THE SAINTS, [From the Zanesville (Ohio) Courier.] The Mormons are much frightened since tne convic- tion, confession und execution of Jobn D. Lee, Tho American people are satisfied, that Joho D, Leo richly deserved death. And yet they are fully satisflod that he was the instrument of the massacre only, and that the men back of Lee, who ordered and directed the massacre, have not yet been brought to justice. Tho most criminal are still at Jarge. Such being the case, they do not want newspaper reporters at Salt Lake City who keep continually stirring the matter. Tho Mormons want pence and quiet, They don’t want to hoar anything about the Mountain Meadows massacre, They want “bygones to be bygones,’’ The cor- respondent of the HrxaLp keeps prying about and every week unearthing something which they hopea to keop hid, until they became so weary of hearing of the monstrous crime committed twonty years ago that they made two attempts to frighten him. Their threats and attempts to murder don’t frighten the HeERaxp at all.
