The excuement among the spectators was sow very great and the utmost confusion prevailed. JTea leaped into tbe pit and were mm suddenly thrown back, and crSe of pit up the bird came first from one party and then from the other.

Tbe cocks were dearly exhausted so that at every blow they would both fall to tbe ground. Bet war decidedly in favor of "Rochester," notwithstanding he was blind, for tbe Buffalo bird seemed anxious to "go home," technically speaking. Counts now became more frequent and soon the crowd broke op and poured into the pit, while Dennis appeared witb his fowl in his arms and a smile indicative of victory on his face. "Rochester" had won the fifty dollar ake fight, leaving the soore eight to one ia favor home As our reporter 1 I If1" I IS- 1 A of 3M ie additio to tbe amnot sir-t iy aforded.

Ia view of tbe facts above set forth, we ted constrained to say that tbe citisens of Rochester owe it to themselves sad to their interest ta give st least most cordial jrreetin? to these gentlemen from tbe South who cots to as with se important an enterprise so far sdVsaeed, and we feel It due to them to ssy further that Jiey they hsve exhibited throughout a determined enerry and perseverane which is the sore harbinger of SdsI success, and that they have accomplished much ia a great work npoa which the public cincS hi been laboring for the but twenty-five years a work of incalculable benefit to tbe people on its route, but especially so to tbe residents and property owners of this city. FOWL MCBOER. A Corks at tbe Flt Brldae, Bflatu Bnflal aa Kek ester Three llaadre rrta Bali Cirie Winm tbe Battle vthMaa A seat the Baflal fctetr fwr Ike Prrveatlw t'rmeily mi A.io .1 AeevBi H.b, dec lb Did We informed the public and the authorities yesterday that a main of cocks was to come off between Buffalo and Rochester. The place was kept secret, and in guessing tbe town of Greece we were wrong, for tbe Float bridge at Irondequoit bay had been selected as tbe scene. Each aide had agreed to bring forty birds to tbe pit aad a many battle were to decide the championship between the two cities.

The afternoon train from Buffalo- yesterday brought some forty roughs from that city, together with the fowls and the agent for Erie county of the Buffalo society for tbe prevention of cruelty to animals in tbe person of W. L. Darbee. The main was to take place in the evening and after nightfall extensive preparations were begnn for reaching Float bridge. TT carryalls and sleighs of all descriptions were engaged and soon the motley1 crew of gamblers, thieve and "sport" generally were on the way to the rendezvous.

The evening trains from the west swelled the number of the party from Buffalo to 100 aad over. Among those from that wicked city who arrived on the trains were the following. We give the names for the benefit of the police authoritiesof Erie county: John Sydell, John Boreas, Charles Eats, Joseph Rook, Blinker, Larry Miller, Joseph O'ail, O'Donnell, Henry Curtis, Dean Wilson, Henry Hann and Chalk Ingalls. Part of tbe above, tbe agent informs ua, are known in Buffalo aa "iron thieves," probably because their hardness. The agent applied at tbe poliee offke during tbe evening for assistance witb a view of preventing the main, but Chief Sherman informed him that the scene was beyond tbe jurisdiction of our force.

Mr. Carbe tbea started in search of Sheriff Campbell but did not succeed in finding him. The agent finally determined to go to tbe scene and as he could not break op the proceedings, at least take name of such of those present aa be recogniaed. He went, took bis observations and returning got on board a late train bound for Buffalo. Tbe battle was in progress when be left and Rochester was ahead.

Nearly all the gambling hells in the city were closed last night, the proprietors and patrons of establishment having gone to Float bridge. The fowl murder began about half-past o'clock. The Float bridge is situated under a hill at Irondequoit bay. It Is a plain-looking country tavern, intended in summer as a resting place for those seeking pleasure in fishing and hunting. This hotel was the scene of many battles which showed how far men will go to gratify their brutal inclinations.

In a room about twenty feet long by fifteen wide tbe pit was matched. In the center of the floor were boards about a foot wide which set up on edge a 3d nailed together in the form of the square mada the pit. This space was about twelve feet long and tea feet wide. The floor was covered with tan bark. From the ceiling was hung by wire a square frame of wood, to which was affixed candies to tbe number of a dozen or more.

A row of rough board seats were placed around the pit, and all of the specta tors who could, were seated upon these benches. The remainder of the crowd stood outside about ten deep. THE BIRDS. Forty game cocks composed the main. One-half was generated" by Denny Mahoney of this city, a gent who is not un known to the turf, and one where passion for cock fighting is only second to hi desire for horse racing.

The other half of the birds was marshaled by Dean Wilson, a Buffalo boy, fat and flibby and who is well calculated to encounter any scene with no mat ter how brutal its nature. Mahoney hai in one of the large sleeping rooms of the house bis twenty birds. Each was in a flour barrel, which stood on its end, with a little hay or straw In the bottom. An opening was cut in tbe side of the barrel about four inches king and two inohea wide through which tbe game cock could pass his head to feed. To eaeh opening a tin cup mi hung from which tbe bird was fed.

The top of each barrel was covered with a sack or bag. The room looked more like a larmer's granary man anytmng else. The room adjoining was occupied by tb Buffalo birds and their attendants, and the same provisions were made for their comfort. Before the fight each cock was fed on the white" of eggs cut into small pieces and cracked corn. When the contestant assembled the birds were weighed in pairs, nineteen pairs tilling, that is too say that this number oat of each group corresponding in their weight so as to admit of thair being fought.

Thus nineteen battles were set down for the mam and the cock winning ten battles, were to be yictori'H and took the stake money. In preparing for the iLjht the fowls were stripped of their neck feather and their wing aad tail clipped, rtr whkb steel spurs aa inch and a quarter in length were affixed to their tega. Whea thus stripped for tbe tbe fight and mounted witb their spurs they were taken into "the pit and handled by Denny Mahoney and Dean Wllsoa- The fight then began and continued until one or the other of tb birds were killed, or waa so fatigued a to be unable to ataad. Before midnight seven of the fowl were killed. Buffalo won the third battle and lost tbe remainder op to th hour our report closed.

Below we giv what ht called tbs SHasra rifiirr. AfWa- waiticg a longtime, the men who packed tbe room and crowded th pit oegma to clamor loudly for "the bird. Wilson, tbe Buffalo man, soon appeared in seal an cap, woolen jacket, with a handkerchief around bis neck, and began to oouas hi money, ia preparation for the "shake Bebt. -Dennis Mahonev. tbe Koeneswnan champion of the pit soon cam cocks with him.

But in this ce, tbe beatity anj in-Jerest of the exhibition were of thetntelvee nificient to warrant the immente gth-trjjjr witnend on the occasion. "The 'reat AUegrry and Tableaux, v.hich wa igiven, is a taoetical and luresoue representation ofs the principal vents in tie hisiory of eoontry from the time of its discovery by Columbus to the l'e of the rebellion. Tbe variou character of the tabeanx were assamed by pupils of the free aicademy ami public schooia. There were Indian warriors, Spanish saH-irs and oootiniit) soldiers. Tbe great peraoa-aes of oor history appeared dresmd is the fsaahioB of their time.

The states ot tbe Cn-kn were p-arsonined by young ladim arrayed in appropriate garb- In hort, there Iwaa a variety and novelty throughout ice whole, which ffave life to the entertainment, and Jpre vented the att-nlin of the audience from flagging during the entire evening. In speaking of the haracters, we cannot refrain from mentioning the adjjjiitable representation by Mrs. George D. BuvW of the Goddess of Liberty. The vexing ladies and gentlemen who took part in the aUegory, were seated row above row, on the stage, and, dreaee i in white with sa4.es of red and blue, alone formed a sj-ectacle.

I And then tbe speeches of the various ptrmmt were so well pronounced, the mmutuue 01 songs introdnoed were so nicely rendered, that thase excellencies, together with the effect of tie owtumes, ami the many beautiful tableaux, left no one inclined to be otherwise than delighted with the allegory. Of the tableaux, no less can be said than that they were snberb. designed with an artistic eye for the best effect and worthy of all tbe applause wiii which they were received. The last one was shown in white and red lights, and fitly closed the bole. The military part of the pageant was aided in its suocofsi by the House of Befuge band.

The musical portion of the programme owed not a little of its attractiveness to the fine playing of the pianist of the evening Mils Minnie Hale. Prof. Hager has conferred a great favor upon the public in bringing out this fine spectacular piece, and the nearly perfect manner with which it was given reflects equal credit upon bis ability as a manager. Superintendent EUis and the principals and teachers of the public schools should be credited with the indv-ponsable aid they pave in this enterprise. The orphan asylum received such a substantial benefit as it deserved.

We call particntar attention to the matinee to be given this afternoon, and to the closing representation to night. After what we have said, we need hardly add that all who attend will be delighted with the allegory and its many beautiful accompaniments. BlaMiu lev I ser Maia street Brtaire. When the iee broke up on tbe 17th inst, the river channel was so blocked and choked up as cause the river to raise several feet above low water mark. The bridges and aqueduct passed the drift and.

ioe through safely, but not so at Main street bridge. The wet-t opening was blocked up some twelve feet dep, owing perhaps more to the funnel shape of that arch, the lower end being smallest, in it discharging capacity. As a consequence, the large opening above took in more than the lower end could pass oat. Tke volume of ice above, when it would not move below, crowded the archway under the buildings down stream and north of the bridge to almost its full carrying capacity, slanting back to the bead of the archway, thus completely blocking up and rendering that archway of no more use, far as discharging water is concerned, than Front street. The commisdoners, being alive to duryr and remembering the flood eight years ago, saw it must be cleared to give Main street bridge its greatest carrying capacity.

Accordingly, Street Huperintaudent Butler, like his name-sake, "old cock eye" Ben, was as big a thing on ice' as the 'tother Ben was in ruling Sew Orleans. He did not, however, do as he did at Ft. Fisher, with his powder boat, put off sideways from the fort, but our Street Superintendent Ben Butler puts his powder under the ice in the following manner: He commenced at the lower side, so whatever was detached would fltiat off, thus keeping a blarting face" on the arch-way iceberg to be removed. Toe modus operandi of blasting was to put eight pounds of blasting powder in a ipbtrical iron case, holding a half gallon or more. In tliia was a water-proof fuse some ten feet in length, communicating with the powder, and a wire of about equal nth to handie it a species of torpedo.

The can then was placed suspended to the wire and back of the face, soma ten feet, and placed nar the bottom of the river way, and there set off. when it detached all from the face to the blast and often much of that back of it, enough to fill a decent sized ice house, which was "piked ff to float down stream. Thus for two days the work has gone bravely on, until the passage-way is cleared under the Jforth bulidingn and Main street bridge, and to morrow is intended to clear out the chan nel under the building above, or South of he bridge. The whole expense of this work win not much exceed a hundred dollars, that our best contractors would not take by tbe job for lees (1,000. Bo the superintendent took the job in hand on account, by himself, thus saving the JIM) to the city, a saving, worth taring in ties times of it igh taxtm, to the credit of our commission, to whom the credit is due.

By way of incident, oounected with the Usat- uur, wlule under Hulhert saloon, a countryman happened to be dissecting a piece of meat as a tikst went off, and a few castor bottles flew op. His woebegone look was that of one not prepared on so short notice to leave this world. It is better imagined than described. It was more of the contortions of one brought to life by a galvanic battery, after life had beea suspended. He was not aware of thelaoe beneath him, and bene thx)ght it was a warning from the nether rep 'allowed him to suffer the torments of his conscience j'lst lung enough to warn torn to improve twtter his time to come.

C. Cochrane for appellant; W. F. Cogswell for respondent. Peckham.

J. Two acts of 1S73 caose this cjintTrrrersy. By the erst tbe mayor of tbe city of Rochester is required to appoint five person, be known aa tbe board of water commissioners of tbe city of Rochester. It is; made their duty to examine and consider ail matters relative to supplying the city of Rochester with a sufficient supply of pure and whole -ate water for the up of its inhabitants, and for the extinguiJimect of firm. They were to have estimate made of the com.

and adopt a plan of tbe work and submit to the mayor if he approved, tbe commissioners were to proceed with tbe work were to borrow money to an amount not ex-reeding tbe cost of tbetr estimate, on the credit of the city, for a time not exceeding thirty years, and the city is required to pay tbe sums so borrowed, by a tax from time to tune upon tbe taxable propertr therein. Laws of ITS. p. By tbe second act the amount of debt to be thus incurred is limited to three millions, Lswtofirap. 146.

T. H. Tbe defendants were appointed commissioners under tbe act, and this action was brought to restrain them from interfering ith the property of the city, and from incurring any obligations against it. The defendants demurred to the complaint. The demurrer was sustained at general and special term of tbe supreme court and the plaintiff appeals.

The claintiil insists that bv the statute of ISM. tlie citT received power as a private cor porate to become a stocKBOWer in tiie jen-eee railroad to the amount of t-i -ttO, that "thus it became a corporation with public and private rights, and that itachar- ler thus became a contract. iliat the acts of lTi as to supplving the city with water are not amendment of it charter. That they are private and not public acta, and that suck a charter cannot be forced ftpon a city without its consent. That it is for a purpoee foreign to it organisation.

Tbe right to repeal, alter or modify the plaintiff charter was reserved in the act of iU incorporation. Laws of 1SJ4, page The fact that a city owns private property cannot convert it into a private corporation merely, or convert its charter into a contract unalterable by the legislature. If such were it effect, the reservation by the legislature in each charter, and by the constitution of tbe state, to modify or repeal, would be of no force, as there is probably no corporation in the state that has not some private property, if the plaintiff can be said to have any by becoming a stockholder in the railroad. The proposition is unsound. If it were a private corporation as to this property, it will not aid the plaintiff.

That property is not necessarily affected by these acts. It is not taken. Hence no question can here arise in regard to it. The city is authorised nd directed to raise the money by tax to pay tbe debt to be by these works incurred. 56.

p. s. 6. or is this act for a private purpose. To supply a city with pure water for the use of its citizens and for the extinguishment of tires, is a public and not a private purpose, even though it be conceded that the property, when the work shall be completed, will be the private property of the city.

It is so declared in an analogous case. Bailev vs. The Mavor, 3 543. To supply city with pare and wholesome water 5s an object entirely in harmony with the purpose of its organisation, as much so aa ti opening and repairing of its streets, or the preservation of the peace by a proper police. It is also urged on the part of the plaintiff, that the first act establishing the board of water commissioners, and authorising and requiring this improvement, is unconstitutional, as it authorises a debt witho it limit.

This to my mind is a question of grave character. Asa matter of history it is known that at the formation of our constitution in 146, there was much anxiety in the public mind in re-pard to state debt. The public works had been ewpended and to a great extent abandoned by reason of the inability of the state to borrow money to go any further with the state improvement. he provisions in that constitution against running into debt were passed in that condition of the public mind. It was the plain purpose of that instrument to prevent the incurring of large debt by the state in any manner, either by tbe state at large or by localities, by cities or villages.

Hence it provided that the state might con- tract debts to meet canal deficits or failures in revenue, or for expense not provided for, i but sih debts directlv or contingent, singly or in the appregate, shall not at anv time exceed Art. 7, Hi. Tb wart the rule in time of peace. In war the state was authorised to contract debts to rejiel invasion, fupprena insnrreetion or defend the state. Art.

7, i 11. Except the debt thus specified the provision is express that no debts shall hereafter ci-tated, by or on behalf of this state, un-le-8 a direct annual tax was imposed by th same law to pay principal and interest in eighteen years, nor unless first atithoriied bv a direct vote of the people of the state. Art. 7, 13. Furt her, it was made 'the duty of the legislature to restrict cities and incorporated villages in their power of taxation, borrowing money, contracting debt and loaning their credit, so as to prevent abuses in assessments, and in contracting ir--t by such municipal corporation.

Art. In addition, it was provided that the credit of the state should "not in any manner be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation. Art. 7, S4. Thus the'' 'purpose of I preventing del to any large amount, either by the state or by cities, is made plainly manifest.

No man can mistake the spirit and purpose of these provisions. They, too, are controlling upon the legislature as' well as upon the c.ti-izen. They are the absolute law of the land. How does this statue harmonise wiib these firovisaon! In my judgment there ia little lannouy between them. It seems at war with the spirit of the constitution, and especially with tbe ninth section of the eighth article.

If a literal construction of the instrument 1 claimed, then it violate tbe twelfth section of the seventh article, which declares that no debts shall be hereafter created by the state. The city of Rochester has no optii on the subject. A certain machina-y is formed and set in motion by the legislature to supply "The city of Ruo.heter with a sufficient" quantity of pure and wholesome water for the use of its inhabitants, and for the extinguishment of fire. First volume of the laws of loJ, page section 2, And when this machinery (the mater commiskners) has worked out the mount, and it is approved by the mayor, the water commissioner, are authorised to run tbe city in debt to that sum, to inaa bond the citv to run not over thirty years, "whk-b shall be signed bv the mayor and th preadnt of the board" of water comis-sumers, and shall be a valid lien against said citv. The amount of the estimated cost being settled, tbe subsequent proceeding are imperative.

Is it then the state that creates this debt. But I concede that it is not within tbe pro hibition of that faction, because there are f.ntl.er provisions in tbe same section which show ti iat it was aimed at a debt of tb state, to tie paid by the state, and not of a city or village. We must then here, as in other um, be roveraed by the spirit of th pro-vunons. Here tbe act seems to me to be at war with tbe pniviaioB requiring tbe k-gisla- ture to rettnet cities in tbeu power ol con tractieff OttULa, Art. B.

a. V. This so, whether the debt be created or authorised bv the act. tuber is within tbe soirit of tbe orobiUtUon. it would seem to apply witn empnasu to a cai-e like this.

Tuems oouinusioieri are to obtain Uus water fur tbe use of citizens and to extin -ruifch fires, without limit aa to tbe amirce, the utslanoe, the mode, tbe cost, or the tune for tbe eoropk-uno of tb work.

But it is unnecessary to decide t.us question.

The legisiatnre, at the same session, before any debt was contracted, amended this act, so as to obviate th objection before stated, limiting the amount of deot to be incurred to a sum not exceeding $3, 000, -CM). This was the exercise of a le-rislatfve discretion not reviewable by tbe courts. i he act under consideration was made valid from that time. Tbe question as to the right of the legislature to compel the city to incur this debt without it consent lias been just affirmed by this court. The judgment is therefore affirmed.
