anne THE TWEED CONFESSIONAL — More Evidence on the Charges Against Hamilton Harris. THE NEW CAPITOL JOB. The Aldermanic Committee Take the Testi- mony of Three New Witnesses. ‘within the past two months seoms to be drawing to @ close, judging trom the dulness of yesterday's session, The latest efforts of the Aldermanic committee bave Deen directed toward Hamilton Harris, who ts the re- publican nomineo for State Sonator in Albany. Yea terday’s deliberations were consequently occup: od i miting the evidence of threo geatlomen as to the alleged frauds in the building of the State Capitol at the time when Mr. Harris acted im the capacity of Commissioner. Mr. William A. Rice, formerly Commissioner of the Btate Capitol in company with Harris, was the first ‘witness examined. He testified that the smailor con- tracta were given out by Mr, Harris and himself, the larger contracts being given out by the Board, The witness detailed the career of Jopn Bridgeford as Superintendent of the State Capitol, The Board never discharged that gentloman; be was removed by Mr, McAlpine, engineer of the work; Bridgeford was for goven years acting as superintendent; witness bud never had avy controversey with Bridgeford; there ‘was some difliculty between him aud tae Commission ‘fas to the purchase of supplies; always feund Bridge- ford ready and williog to do what he was directed by the Commission; no salary Was attacued to the posi- tion of Commissioner; there was, therefore, no legiti- mate way by which a Commissioner could make money vut of the construction of tus building, SH , inspector of material of the State Capitol under the Harris Commission, testified that he was in the babit of delivering memoranda of material furnished by contractors to Bridge‘ord; the latter said toat he required this memoranda lor the purpose of Hudiug out What the commissions were; be suid they ‘were to be paid to Mr, Harris; did not kuow person- ally of commissions being paid to auybody ; the mate- rials were not furnsued, as far us he knew, above market rates, A LAWYER'S NARMATIVE AND FIGURES, Mr, Henry Smith, of Alvapy, gave evidence as to legislative 1 ‘auions In tue muttor of the State Capitol when Senator Harris was one of the commis- Biouers, He revoilected a conversation which .vok place at his residence between Bridgeford, timselt aud Harris, This conversation was bela in March or April, 1874, Mr. Cole asked witness to give the details of this Bonversution. Mr, Smith here interposed an objection as to the powers of tue committue, The subject immediately Uuder investigation did not come within tue supervi- sion of the New York municipality. 1t belonged par- Ucularly to the Su Mr. Cole contended that the city of New York paid vadout one-hall the State taxes. If the State bud been fiundered in this matter then it was the duty of the Alderiwen to make application to the Legislaiure, so as | to prevent coptiuuance of such illegal practices. | Yweed testified that a corrupt arrangement had been entered into with Harris, at which Bridgeiord | Wax present. 1t seemed proper to get at tue bottom of these transactions. Alderman Cowing differed with tue majority of the sommitiee as to their power vo go mio the Capitol in- YVestigation. It had no counection whatever witn the Rong frauds, Such an examinavion should be kept within bounds, 1t had a political aspect and shouid Bol come betore that comumutiee, It was improper, \Wjuuicious and unwise, Alderman Lewis, chairman of the committee, de- Biued that the subject came up properiy as purt of tue Rung frauds, and ibe examination of Mr, Susith then proceeded. ‘The interview between Harris, Bridgetord ana wit- ness Was in relation to the iMvestigation thea goug on before the Finance Commities of tbe Senate as to Duilding the State Capitol; could not recall what was Bald su us to give the exact language; was not then Connected With Lue investigation either as counsel or Otuerwise; Bridgeford complained tuat he was ill- used—that he bad discharged his duty to the vest of bis ability; he divn’t think be ought to stang it; just Detore tha: he had vcen superseded us superintendent; Mr. Harris conveyed the idea that he acquiesced in e statement of Bridgetord—tnat he and Bridgeiord wore always friends, and tuut the controversy be- tween them might result in injury to boto; he asked Bridgeiord whas be wonted; Harris asked, “Why vou’t you take some contracts and make some money out of them?’ Bridgeiord said that be merely wanted to be reimsiaied as superiniendent of tue Capitoi—that it was the pride of bis ile; be did not want to make any mouey in this way; Harris re- marked he was willing to have him restored to that position, and also willing tv conunue the friendly Festious hitherto existing between them; the iuter- view terminated by both gentlemen apparently sepu- Fatiog as mutual friends, ITKMS OF FRAUD.

The regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday, aud after the disposal of the usual routine business the following gentiemen were elected members of the Chumber:—Aalbert T. Harajitoa, A. Gracie King, William C, Lee and J. A. Scott. The next business in order was tho report of the Executive Committee on the Bankrupt la Mr. Elliot C, Cowdin, chairman of the commitice, said that the attention of the committee had been called to the subject of the Bankrupt iaw, and tbat be bad been directed to submit to the Chamber, for their consideration, a memorial to Congress aguinst its total repeal, whilo agreeing that the present law ought to be modified and amended ina Dumber of its provisions, Mr. Cowdin gsaid:—It is well known what an earnest effort ia now being made to strike this law from the statute books A similar attempt was mage in 1874, and this Chamber, in concert with other important commercial bodies, took strong grounds agaiust its repeal, and with great unanimity memorialized Con- gress im favor of its modification, not its repeal, In this advanced stage of the interstate commerce and general business of sho nation itis hardly possi- bie to fall back upon the old codes of couflicting State Insolvency laws with their personal preterences, their Attachments and grab system and the debtor’s own choice of ap assignee. Judge Story, the greatest com- mercial juriat of our country, in urging the necessity of a uniform aysiem ol baukruptcy, said:—“Ihe evil is incapable of being redressed by the States; itcan be adequately redressed only by the power of the Union.” Duniel Webster tuok the same view, When we had Jess than two-thirds the number of States we now have, foreseeing the absurdity of a great nation being subjected to the control of couilicting Stute laws, he exciuimed:—"What, twenty-lour systems all in aw row??? NATIONAL BXPERIENCE. Mr, Cowdin contunued:—Ihe experience of tho chief cummercial natious of Europo shows the ne- cessity fur w pational and uniform system of bauk- ruptcy, England bas hud such a law for more than turee hundred years, 1n 1849 it was modified and per- fected, 1 contains noarly three hundred secuions and is worthy of gruve consideration, France haS had bankrupt saw for more tusn a century, In 1838 it was revised and modified, and since then has formed a part of the Code of Commerce, What we wantis a wise and judicious system, which sball deal jusuly with both debtor and creditor, and so far as possible prevent roguery in every form. Such a system can only be devised alter mature sbudy and deliberation, The Unied States passed a Bankrupt Jaw ta the year 1800, but 1 was repeated im 1503, Again, in 1841, another was passed, und repealed in 1843 A third Bankrupt law was passed in 1857 and still exists; but uli must admit that 101s exceedingly defective. Now, Bball tue system be abolished altogether or shall it be mouifled and perfected? On that point, in a great commercial metropolis, there ought to be but ove opinion. ‘The law suould be moaited ana perfected— notrepealed. To do this wisely and weli itis pro- posed that a commission ve appointed by Congress to take the subject into consideration, to ascertain the defects of the present law and recommend amend- ments, Mr. Cowdin then eubmiited to tho Chamber the memorial, which was published exclusively in the Hxnatp of October 26, OPINIONS OF MRRCHANTS, Mr. W.

'S. B. Ruggles thought that the appointment of a commission to sit im thiscity to hear the merchants’ Views on the amendments required would achieve the desired Improvements in the law, Mr. Thurber then suggested that the memorial should ve amended so a8 to read thats portion of the commission petitioued for shoulda be busivess men or me:cuants, Lt was so ordered, aud the Cuamber de- cided that the memoria be forwarded to Congress.

Should the weather keep fair until Saturday after. noon, and probabilities indicate that way, the Jerome Park course will be in splendid condition for the great races which will come off at that time, The rain of Wednesday will be of great advantage to the track should there be no more, and the fastest and best racing that ever took place at Jerome Park may be reasonably anticipated. The great race between Ten Broeck and Parole seems to be in every man’s mind at the present time, and in public places large amounts are being wagered on the result. Tne botting seems to beat “evens” in this city, while at Baltimore and Washington we learn that Parole has the call at odds. It will be a grand struggle for mastery between these tyers acd well worth witnessing. Besides the great race the mile and ® quarter and the mile and a half dashos will be exceedingly imter- esting, as some of the best of the Eastern horses will ‘be entered against tho Western cracks, King Faro and Vera Cruz, The entries closo this atternoon for all the races, when we anticipate good flelds for each. ‘There ure a number of three-year-olds hero that can be entored in the mile and a quarter, and many good four- year-olds and aged horses capable of giving Vora Cruz so close a struggle that he will know he bas had a race wheu the affair isover, Tom Ochiltree may be well enough to run a mile and a half by Saturday, and as speed is bis forte, shouid he be entered, he will be well backed, Then there are Virginius, Viceroy, St. Martins and othors that will make the affair intorest- ing and might divide the purses, ‘The steeplechase will, no doubt, bea good one, and the entries should comprise the best of that style of horse in the country, Special trains will leave the Grand Central Depot at 12;50 and 1:15 o’clock, as well as the regulars up to hall-past two P, M., which will bo jn time for tle champion race, Admittance tothe flold has been reduced to filty cents.
