INFECTED RAGS. —__--——— Precautions Needed to Avert the Introduction of Contagion from Russia a mv KEEP OUT THE PLAGUE, Safety sependent on a Strict Quarantine of e the Ports of Entry, eS A few days since the HenaLp published an article, in which it was shown that foreign rags to the Value of nearly $10,000,000 are annually received at this port, and also that most of this enormous quantity is shipped to us from Russian and Mediterranean ports. In view of the fearful pestilence which is now devastating portions of Russia the following opinions of our present and past health authorities, as expressed to HERALD reporters yesterday, touch- ing the necessity of quarantining imported rags from Russia and also in regard to the likelihood of conta- gion being spread by rags or clothing, deserves serious attention :-— Dr. Lewis A, Sayre, ex-Resident Physician of New York, the former official title of tho Health Officer, said:—What you want to get at in the first place is, Can a poison be transmitted by rays or clothing? an the germs of any,lisease be imprisoned in cloth- ing and transmitted to distant parts, and there, under proper surrounding circumstances, be capable of propagating the original disease with which they were contaminated? If that question can be an- swered in the affirmative that settles the whole mat- ter in regard to the necessity of protection by quar- antine, That this tact is true in regard to Asiatic cholera I xm positive, and by reference to ny pub- lished official report to the Commissioners of Health, in 1866, a sufficient amount of - statistical facts will be found to prove the correctness of this statement, Whether these same views would be applicable to the plague I have had no personal experience that would justify me in speaking with positivencss, as I do of cholera, with which I have hud experience. 1 think that rags coming here from Russian ports or from countries adjacent’ to the intected territory should be disin- fected and the poison eliminated before they are per- mitted to be exposed for commercial purposes. ‘The principles in ease of cholera, as laid in the report mentioned, should, I think, be applicable ts every other portable or specific communicable disease.” Subjoined are arfew extracts from the annndl re- port of Dr, Sayre, showing, among other things, the importance he attaches to strict quarantine regula- -tions as the only means of warding off contagious diseases not endeinic in this country :—- HOW THE CONTAGION CAN BE WARDED OFF. eaying animal an matter, and with the peculiar condition of climate, ready to spread its iniectious ine fluences into an epidemic, lias thus been preserved froim its ravages by the rigid enforcement of quarautine regula tious, A system or plan which has shown such good results Js of sufliclont importance to demand our most serious at- tontion, it not to cdiumand our approval.

The fact which has been established by the detention in quarantine of the steauship Atlanta within seven miles of our shore, with the wind for the most of the time setting from that piace toward the city, proves most couclugivel, it Is not an epidemic diyoase, and doos not traver witl some authors would try to conyince as. thut is sei generis, created in Ladi, fro read ways following the channols of trage and commerce; a iu the visitation of the disease upon this continent it can de traced distinctly to importation. It has never been generated on this continent, and can only exist here by partusion. * NECESSITY FOR THE INTKRVENTION OF CONGRESS, But New York is accessible by laud as well as by sea, and unless these xxme quaravtine regulations ure enforesd in, every seaport town upon the eutire coast there is no secu- ty, but the disease, being imported int Seaport towns, may come to us by railroad con We, therefore, see (Re necessity ior Congr rument tiking possession of t niformity of quarantine reqrlations at every entry. The government establishes ports of entry teveuue and hay the right to close the * . * * orts of entry, and should, therefore, perform the duties con nected with w port of proper quarantine estab) Fegulation. by which it entry, one of whieh. > ent, kept unde tient. It sometinn tthe port of entry our own city, Hes upon a river bordering on two States, aut the port way be in one State, and the most advan: fugoous placo tor a quarantine under the jurisdictio another, This contlict of jurisdiction renders it e9se: that it should be placed under the control of the general government. The general government would not hesitate To take possession of any place whére it could best protect the country from an invasion by a foreigy foo, irrespec. of State boundarios or State jurisdiction, were it to come in the form of an urmed fleet, How much more necessary, then, that the same precautions ould by taken against & secect foo of pestilence and poison, vastly more destruc: Lumau lite than # fleet equipped with Armstrong WHAT DR. JANES THINKS. Dr. Janes, assistant sanitary superintendent, on being asked what he thought of the necessity of juarantining imported rags trom Russia, in view of the pligue now existing there, said:—‘Rays that are supposed to come from a locality where they are likely to have been tn contact with any one suffering trom the pestilence ought to be admitted into this country only after great care and caution, It it ia a fact, as published, that the first case of the plague in Russia originated trom a shawl which a soldier brought trom a battle field in Turkey and gave to his sweetheart L think tuat in itself ought to be a sut- ficicnt argument in favor of the danger of infection from articles of clothing from that district, and of course rags come Under the same denomination.” “Lhere is, then, no doubt that wearing apparel and bedding, whether in the form of rags or otherw retain for a length of time the germs of a cc ous disease, and thus, under certain couditions, art the malady to new victims?” ‘None whatyver, Instances are numerous where smalipox, typhus fever and similar diseases dhave been communicated by means of clothing. The wame nocessity would exist for quarantining rags, Which might have been exposed to the plague in Ttussia, You may state, however, that we have no apprehensions of danger from that source at present.” EXTRA PRECAUTIONS NEEDED. “Butdo you not think that the cecasion demands extra precautions on the part of the national, State and city authorities?” “think it would be very judicious for our au- thorities to guard agamet the indiscriminate im- portation of rags at present, especially from that portion of Europe where the pestilence may have made appearance. It is said that the rage are compressed by steam power before shipment, but wheiher they are exposed to a sufficient degree of heat to destroy any contagion they might coutain L do not know. A good deal of precaution is taken here to prevent any unpleasant results eriving from imported rags. For instance, any consignee of a cargo of rags before such cargo is unloaded has to file a bond tor $200 with the Health Department, Pega, ba gery not to break the bulk of any ot the sles, Which are generally strapped with tron hoops or cords, so longas the same shall remain within the mits of the city aud county of New York. You see in that respect the city has more or less poe from any danger that might otherwise from infected rays.”” “What about the rixk from clothing and personal ellects ne ht by emigrants or seataring ten?” tnt more danger wight reasonably be ay aaa ee articles of clothing broughe from ie the plagne than from ordinary rags, because the Clothtig foutd be more diffused, handed around, while the rage are conveyed in bulk to their final destination. course the disease might brought here in that way by emigrants, and in view of this possibility I would sugyest the fumigating ud uistntecting of the effects of emigrants, aud also the adoption of such additional quarantine regula- tions applying to persons coming from that part of Europe as would render it next to impossible for the dixeako to be communicated to our people here.” Sanitary Superintendent Day, on bemy requested by the writer to give his views in regurd to the no- cossity for quarantining rags imported (rom Mussia, Mippuntly replied, “I have no views whatever to yive the HevaLp on the subject; so this weil paid rervant of the people was left to enjoy the immensity of his own official importance, t AL QUARANTINE, br. Vanderpoel was out of the city for a few days, ‘but Dr, Macartney said that Dr, Vanderpool had is- Fued orders soime tithe sinee that all veasels fron Kussian ports should be placed in quaranti they had been thoroughiy searched, aud a of health ouly given after @ complete investiqytion ot the physical condition of all on board. It is not expected that b 9 rage or eclothin, from the intected districts of Russia have reached the coast yet, but, inasmuch as the contagiot acter of the plague is so pronounced and communicated by @ very small piece of wearing ap- wuvel, the greatest care will be taken to ascertain hether any person on bourd has been in the vicinity of the locullty of the plague, ‘fhe Quarantine ofi- corse ove of the opinion that the “precautionary ieastires alromly tele will effectually preveut its introduction to this port. Di, WILLARD PARKER'S VIEWS. Dr, Willard Parker said that he had pot given any special attention to the inveption sud progress of NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FKBRUARY 23, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET, what is known @ the black Russian plague, but he had no doubt that the plague could be communi- cated to this country through the agency of or * wearing apparel. He thought that precautionary measures on the part of all health officers were imperative under the circumstances, ‘Happily,” he said, ‘we are getting to a season of the year when the will not have to encounter the rigor of winter and will be better prepared physically to meet an attack of sickness. Acontagious disease of any character falling on & physically weakened populetion necessarily resulted in a large mortality, but 1 have no apprehension that | we shall have to encounter this Russian plague in this country,” REAL ESTATE, The event on the Real Estate Exchange yesterday was the sale by Auctioneer Harnett, by order of the executors of the late Cornelius Pojllon, who was a heavy real estate dealer, of eight lots, covering the entire front on the east side of Broadway, between Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets, apd fifteen lots on the Grand Boulevard, Eighty-fourth street and - West End (or Eleventh) avenue.

J., was startled yesterday by the re. port that Dr. Fordinand Haight, one of the best known and most highly esteemed physicians in the city, had shot himself in the bead about midnight of Wednesday. The report proved to be true upon in- vestigation. Tho Doctor, with his wife and six chil, dren, ail girls, resides at No. 24 East Kinney street, Ho retired svon after eleven o'clock to a chamber on the top floor of his residence, Shortiy after midnight Mrs. Haight, who lay with her youngest children i a room tra was rudely awakened by (he sharp }» report of & pistol. Entering her husbaud's chamber she found him lying on the bed, blood stream- ing irom ® Wound over the right tem ie, Several physicians were promptly called ut they coud do nothing for the man, as the bulet had lodged in the brain. The Doctor was conscious. He said ed that he was tired of life aud wished to die. attending colleagues: agree that his death is a mere question of time, @ few hours or @ few days. Dr. Hinignt is about forty years of age and a native of Monmouth county, Where his brother, General Haight, the ex-Congress- nian, resides, COLORADO AND OUR NEXT CENSUS. ‘Po rie Eprron ov tae Henany— In your recent elaborate article on “Our Next Census” tue writer omitted all mention of the State of Colorado, This ovr lastly admitted State is prob- ably gaining population more rapidly than any other Btate in the Union, The census of 1870 gave Col- orado # total population of 39,864, and the capital city—Deuver—4,i59% On the Ist day of January, | As7Y, the popula of Denver exceeded 30,100 souls, | and the popiiation of the State now amounts to | nearly 300,000, ‘three counties—Arrapahoe, Lake aud Gilpin—each contain over 80,000 sonis, and there are twenty-eight other counties containing pm 1,000 to 15,000 souls in each, Bea ny THE BIG BRIDGE. ITS OPPONENTS PRESENT SOME REASONS WHY “ IT SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETED—THE GROUNDS ON WHICH THEY BASE THE CLAIM THAT IT WILL INJURE THE COMMERCE OF THIS PORT, ‘The legislative sub-committee continued its inves- tigation concerning the Brooklyn Bridge at the Met- ropolitan Hotel yesterday. The advocaies of the bridge having finished their case previous to the last abjournment the case for the memorialists was opened by Mr, Arnoux, who represented Comptroller Kelly. Mr. Arnoux opened the case for the opposi- tion by reading an address forwarded to the Seerétary of War in 1869, by General Humphreys, and the re- port of the committee which was appointed in com- phance with a suggestion made in the General’s address. The protest, signed by the Shipowners’ Association, of New York, in 1876, was also read, and the printed petition of Mr. Miller, filed in the Uyited States Court, in the * same year, ‘praying for a perpetual injunction restraining furthor progress in construction was presented. The “case” of Mr. Miller in the United States courts was also put in with the accompanying affidavits of shipowners as to the damage that would result to commerce if the work was completed, The stenographer having marked these exhibits and put them among the committee’s archives, Mr. C. D. Snow was culled to the stand, WHY THE BRIDGE Is OPPOSED, Mr. Snow testified that he isa shipping merchant’ in New York and had for years followed the sea as a master; he believed the bridge would be a detriment to the free use of the East River as a navigable stream, and consequently a damage to the commerce of the port; in hig opinion three-quarters of the ves- sels that wish to dock above the bridge on the East River would have, when the structure was com- pieted, to house their topgallantmasts and in some instances their topmasts, It would be safe, he thought, to average the height of masts of vessels from abroad at 135 feet, and as no vessel rigged higher than 122 feet would be able, with anything like safety, to go under the bridge, nearly all vessels would be barred out’of the upper East River unless they housed their topmasts. The delay and expense oft making the alteration in the rigging would, It thought, be very great, and would deter many ias- ters from coming to the port, or at least would in- duce them to seck freights for other ports, thus establishipg a discrimination against New York. Mr. Snow sid he wouid rather give $150 than have the topmasts of any vessel in which he was in- terested lowered, for'the tampering with the rigging would, no matter how skilfully done, be a sort of injury. As to the effect of the completion of the bridge on the property in its vicinity to the north there could, to Mr. Snow's thinking, be but oue opimion. He firmly believes that it will be very much injured. The conception of the bridge, in.his opinion, was childish. From the outset all practical men around New York kaew it would be an injury to the commerce of the port. He feared very much that the prestige of New York would be injured by the bridge and that part of its trade would go to Boston, Philadel- phia and Baltimore. Naturally, New York had a ner harbor than any of these places, ‘and its natural facilities had been much improved by the expendi- ture of millions of money on clearing Heli Gate and Diamond Reet, but all the yood work, he thought, would be more than neutralized by the bridge. He did not think that any prudent master sae ‘attempt to go under the bridge unless his top- masis were housed low enough to go under the low- est part of it. THE DRY DOCKS INACCESSIBLE. ‘The president of the Dry Dock Company was next called. He corroborated ull that had been said by the previous witness, and in addition gave some valuable statistics concerning the heights ot masts ot certain ships frequenting this port; he said that when the bridge is finished vessels rather than go to the ex- pense and delay will go on the dry dock in Europe, for in so doing they will save something; he gavo the following list of ships that would be unable to get beyond the liue of the bridge without going to the expense of housing topmas! Ship Great Re- public, 3,356 tons, height ot must, 204 teet 2 inches; ship Hodson, 1,801 tous, height of mast 173 feet; ship Palestine, 1,751'tous, height of mast, 174 feet 6 inches; ship Amazon, ship d. C. Calhoun, ship N. B. Paimer, ship Constellation, ship Mercury and fitteen others. ‘The committee here took a recess for lunch. AFTER RECESS, Captain John Muginn, a pilot, who has followed that avocation for fitty years, was the first witness called after recess. The Captain did not think that the bridge narrowed the river at all, but it would prevent a large proportion of vessels ‘from going up or down without housing their topgallantmast he was of opinion that vessels all the way from 1,200 to -1,800 tons burden would experience this incon- venience; vessels of 1,200 tons generally have masts 130 feet high; tie inconvenience would consequently inerease ax the tonnage of the vessel becomes greater; so far as witness knew the only incon- venience to navigators would be overhead, and most of the vessels would have to. house their topmasts; he was examined concerning the tides in the East River; he said = that at the flood tide the stream sets strong on the Brooklyn side, almost under the bridge, and then, being thrown off that shore, it sets directly across the stream. He did not think it would be safe to sail three square-riggers abreast up the East River under the bri neurer than 100 feet apart, With this little bull the Captain squared his yards and sailed forth on the limitless ocean of Bunsbyism. A few of the gems ure given herewith :— BUNSBY ON DECK. “Captain, P by say that ferryboats in the East River make management of great sailing ships very diificult. If the terryboats were decreased in nuinber would the danger be lessened?” “Ot course; aud if there were no ferryboats the difficulty I speak of would not be experienced.” “You speak of the greater satety vessels have in being towed, Captain. The committee understand by that when two tugs are employed the vessel is more managesble than without any?” “The committee understands rightly. If the power of the ship, however, was greater than the tugboat the veesel will carry.the tow alon i the tall would wag the dog. If a vessel was going out ladened her masts would be lower than if she came in light.” The next witness called was Mr. M. 8. Driggs, a | warehouseman, whose stores are above the bridge. He testified more particularly to the depreciation of real estate values above the bridge. ‘To his knowl- edye realestate in the region named had declined since the bridge was constructed twenty-five per cent, in addition to the geueral market degline, A SHIVBUILDER'S VIEWS, Mr. Richard Poillon was nex called. He testified that during the last six mouths there were in the port 435 vessels whose masts are higher that 120 feet, 230 whose masts are higher than 130 feet snd 100 others of still greater heiyht; nine vessels of not less than 130 feet high are now above the bridge, and these are part of a fleet of forty that had just arrived; from this it would:be seon that about one-quarter of the vessels coming into port go above the bridge; they can pass it now without much difficulty, as the space from mean high water niark to the cable is in some places 172 teet, but when the distance is re- duced to 18 feet, the roadway of the bridge being suspended, the difficulty will be very great. Mr. Poition corroborated Mr. Driggs concerning ‘thy real estate depreciation. P ‘To Mr. Grady—The depreciation of higgins eve ic cent is iu excess of the general market deckne. tty property on the river front in Brooklyn has depre- ciated in consequence of the bridge about $75,000, The construction of the bridge will virtyally de- stroy shipwright work in New York. Most vessels now go up the Kast River to dry dock and there w dergo repairs. When the bridge is completed, in order to save the $160 which housing topmasts will entail, owners will have their repairs done abroad. In order to give the memorialists an opportunity to evamine the plans, specifications and other d mentary evidence presented by the bridge trust: an adjournment was here taken until Thursday next at ten A. M. A CHICAGO MYSTERY. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A PHYSICIAN AND HIS ALLEGED PARAMOUR—ALREST OF THE DOCTOR. ‘The Chicago detectives are puzzled over s case of alleged murder and abortion. The Chicago 7ribune of February 26 say: Henry Gelderman, a well-to-do Gorman, died quite spddenly at his home, No. 505 Sedgwick street, on tober 4, after an iliness of five days, during which timehe was afflicted with cramps and vomiting. He was attended by Dr. Henry Meyer, his family phy- #ician, who return ® certifi of death to the Health Department, with the statement that the deceased had died of Bright's disease of the kidneys. He would ailow nobody to swe the sick man, and he used chioro- form freely. Ten days later, Mrs. Meyer, wife of the physician, was taken fll, likewise suffering trom cramps aud severe vomiting. Chlorotorm wae also used in her case, and the same treatment was ob- served. ‘Che woman lived but # short time. The burial certificate in this case informed the Health Oflicer that the deceased had come to her death from a compound attack of metro-peritonitis and gastrit 0 diseases Which some physicians say are never assoctuted together in The two deaths, with the attending , formed the sub- ject of considerable gossip among the neighbors aud triends of Gelderman, aud various and dark hints wore irecly circulated, It was said that im- proper relations had existed between Mrs, Gelderman and her physician previous to the death of her hus- band. It was also charged that Dr. Meyer had pro- duced an abortion upon his wife betore her death and called ita miscarriage. He was aceused of sub- jecting her to imbw treatment while going through this ordeal. an was known to be worth about was universally reapected by bis neighbors, He was not w robust man, but was in delicaie heaith for years before bis death, Recently it was thought that they were try- ing to sell their properiy. prior to leaving the country, Mrs, Gelderman did finally sell two houses and lots, whereupon the case was given to detectives to work up. | Evidence enough was discovered to War- rant arrest, and the Doctor was locked up on Febru- ary 24. Several maps of Eastern r » a United States bond, receipts for large sums of money, and notes and drafts on Hamburg and Bremen banks were found on lus person. Meyer took-the matter philosophically, and merely said it was too bad to be deprived of his liberty when he only wanted to have a littie fun. ‘The Tribune adds:—‘*It had been ascertained that a child of Mrs. Gelderman was ill. Officers McDonald and Larsen went to her house, No. 505 Sedgwick | street, and read a warrant to her, placed her under arrest and remained with her during the night. ‘This morning a physician will becalled in to examine the sick child, when it may possibly be discovered that it, too, is a victim to treacherous treatment, ‘The authoritics intend to have the bodies of the de- ceased exhymed and what remains of them subjected to an analytical examination, in the hopes of detect- ing poison.

Mr. &ichard O'Gorman delivered an address to the graduates, in which he impressed upon them, in eloquent terms, the dignity and nobility of the pro- fession which they had embraced, and exhorted them to be faithtul and zeaious in its service. Hubert Haywood, M. D.,of the graduating class, then pro- nounced ‘a feeling valedictory, and the exercises, which had passed off successfully in every respect, terminated, FIREMEN ON THEIR DEFENCE, ‘There was an adjourned meeting of the investigation into the cause and origin of the Worth and Grand street fires held yesterday by the Board of Fire Com- missioners. Captain’ Kehoe, of Engine No. 7, de- posed that he connécted hié lines with the third floor landing of No. 68 Worth street; the floor at the time was enveloped in flames; he was driven from the landing to the second floor, and he and his com- pany had finally to seek safety in flight through Thomas street; about this time a large safe came bing through the fourth floor, causing great dem- aye and carrying everything with it; the engine was in good condition and there was #n abundant supply | of water; the mon acted promptly and displayed | great courage. Capiain Bradley, of Engine No. 31; Assistant Fore- man Henney, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, and Chief Bonner testiled to the same effect, They wore unanimous in their praise of the gallantry of the men under their respective commands, but owing to the construction of the building and the in- flammable character of the goods it was impossible to check the fury of the flame: FASTING AND ABSTINENCE, To tax Eprror oF TRE Henaty:— Iask permission to correct what I consider a few errors in the editorial headed “The Forty Days’ Fast,” in your issue of Wednesday. The writer con- fuses “abstinence” and “fast.” On fast days there is a restriction both as to quantity aud quality. On abstinence days the restriction affects quality only. ‘The usual number of ineals is permitted, but at none of them flesh meat. A fast admits of but one meal a day. It admits of no breakfast, and at that one meal no flesh meat is allowed. There was never atime at which fasting was regarded ‘as in itself a mort | torious act.” There was never a time at which | no more food was allowed than was aeces- sary to Sustain life. The object of the Church, both in fast and abstinence, is the strengthening of the spirit at the expense of the flesu, "But her severest discipline does not allow the health to be compromised. The severity ot the rule of fasting in the early Church woukl be dangerous to Jshealth in out modern artificial way of living and northern latitudes. It is on this account that the Church in her tenderness for the weifare of her mem- ‘bors lightens the obligation of fasting in these our days. In point of facta modern fast with its gen- erous dispensations is as severe in its observation as was tho rigid rule in those early days. It the writer | of the editorial has ever tried the lenten fast accord. ing to its present observance, and can nevertheless | assert shat “it has lost all its terrors,’ Lean only say | that I cannot egree with him, and that ninety-nine | but of a hundred who have couscientiously observed, | it for forty days will regard him as a remarkable ox- ception. 8. B.A. HARPER, MAKING HIS DAUGHTERS BEG Officer Chiardi, of the Soctety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, caused the arrest on Wednes- day evening of Joseph Jautzen for compelling his daughter Sara, sixteen years old, to go about the streets begging. He has been arrested several times for the sue offence, Another daughter of his, Marie, teen years of is now in the Catholic Protectory. About twi 8 ago Jautzon's wife was found iu her apartments at No. 4 Hamilton street, in a sick and vd condition, and was removed to tho Charity Hospital, where she died, Tne daughter Sara has been avrestod before and committed to a public institution, but the father found the means to sue out awit of habeas corpus and returned her to miserable life upon the streets.

To Tne Eprron or rH HERAL Why does the Third avenue "1" delay building the station at Third avenue and Twenty-cighth street? ‘The foundations wre laid, but that is all that has been done.

I registered my bonds with him when first appointed, and have since been wait- ing for something to turn up. Is there no law which can call him to account? UNFORTUNATE. DRAINAGE ON BROADWAY. ‘To THe Eprror or tut Hesatp:— Are you aware that on the west side of Broadway there is not a single sewer drain from Trinity Church to Duane street, and I know not how far beyond? Probably they were not provided for in the last paying contract. Consequently the only escape for Bielted snow and suriace water is down the side streets, and drainage is inadequate. ON THE WRONG SIDE, To THe Ep or THE HeRaLp:— Please call the attention o! the East Side “IL Rail- road to theirstation at Franklin square. The staircase leading to the station is decidedly on the wrong, side of Pearl street, as there is by far more traffic on the east, than on the west side, where it is placed, and this strect is, thanks to our Street Clean- ing Bureau, at this time nearly impassable. The greater part of the East Side “+L” Railvoad travellers at this station come from Brooklyn, via Dover or Cherry street. OLD SUBSCRIBER, THE SALE OF POSTAGE STAMPS, To THe Epiron or Tax HeraLp:— Doubtless you are aware that the Postmaster Gen- eral proposes cutting off the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards throughout this city ex- cept at the Post Office and stations. This seems to me very short-sighted policy on the part of thé Postmaster General. At present stamps can be procured at almost any store, and hence if you want to send @ few lines, thongh of no real importance, you can do so without being obliged to go out of your way to a station. So the government'will lose instead of saving by this proposed change. The ob- ject, 1 think, should be to increase the sales by in- creasing the places where they can be had, = R. B, ROBBING SCHOOL CHILDREN, Tq THE Eprror oF THE HERALD:— Please inform me if any means can be devised by which the young children who frequent the public school in East Seventy-Hifth street may be protected trom the thieves and ruftians who infest that neigh- borhood. My little boy, who is only six years old, was Tuesday afternoon knocked down and robbed or- 8 portion of hisclothing within ten yards of the school house. This is the second outrage within the past two mouths that has been perpetrated on the child, and on both occasions he returned home bruised and cov- ered with mud, There seems to be an organized gang of youthful criminals who make it their busi- ness to prey on the well dressed children who attend this school. I think something ought to be done to stop this mean and barefaced system of robbery. PARENT. THE CROSS OF THE OLD SIXTH CORPS, To THe Epitor or THE HERALD:— An old soldier of the Army of the Potomac, I was disgusted recently at seeing the Twenty-third regi- ment, while at battalion drill, wearing the cross of the old Sixth corps of the Army of the Potomuc; not pinned to the left breast, as worn by old sol- diors, but worn as a part of their uniform and stamped in enduring brass ou their shining breast- plates. Now, as the Twenty-third were never attached to the Sixth corps, or even to the Army of the Potomac, it would seem to be a very unwarrant- able and not @ very honorable affectation for them to boldly adopt a’ badge made famous on scores of bat- tle fields and baptized by the blood of thousands of brave: men. I would simply ask by what right. do they-wear it ? ERMONT BRIGADE. THE CROTON WATER SUPPLY, To Tae Eprror or THE Heratp:— I would like to add my testimony to that of “Thirsty,” im regard to the manner in which the residents of East Forty-second street have been treated. I took the floor I now occupy two years ago, with the promise that the street would be fixed and that we would soon be connected with the high-water pressure. The state of the street is well known. At present it is not much better than adumping ground, as ash carts are so seldom seen that the residents have to jhrow the ashes in the large excavation in front. In regard to the water, last August we were delighted at hay- ing water in our rooms; but, alas! our joy was soon turned to sorrow, for about the middle ot Septeraber the water was cut off, and Trow have to move, involving an expense of about $100. Now, as we pay our proportionate rate of the Croton water tax, I protest against the imposition of paying tor what t do not receive. Can Allan Campbell collect money for what he does not furnish? Will some one an- swer? TENANT. ANSWER. SLOW TELEGRAPHING.

PAY OF THE POLICE, ‘The orders to show cause why the twonty per cent deducted on the last pay day from the salaries of the members of the police force should not be paid to them were, as will be remembered, made returna- ble yesterday by Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Chambers. of Inspector Dilks, Captain Walsh aud Patroinfan Carroll, who respectively had applied for the manda- mus writs, asked that @ peremptory mandamus bo allowed forthwith, so as to enable the case to be taken before the Supreme Court, General Term, on Monday next, and thus hurry the case for final hearing to the Court ot Appeals. ir.
