Among the termer were Angast BelmoBt. Sydney Webster, John T. Agnew. George Cnrtia, and others. Mr.

Cnrtis addreasdd tbe committee. He said that hi object was If present some eonal derations why tbe nomination of fits John Potter should be eoonraten. His qualinosiions for tbe office were not disputed. The onlykblng that had been urged agaloat him was that be bad reduced tbe laborers' wages, an aet which' the speaker, would have performed if he were In Fits John place, aad be would have done it to advanoe tbe interests of tbe laborers. Tbo question should not be looked npon in'a political iebt He did not believe that the Democratic Party Inf this City, or ita leaders, were tn such a situation" that tbey could aot moot tbe matter and dispose, of it on ita merits.

He tbourht be was a pretty pood Democrat, though be did notbeloog to Tammany nail, but be would not ask tbem to eonflrm ths nomination ot Fits John Porter If be thought it would injure bis party. He did not Anew -that be would have the wiadom to make the scale of wmgea as adopted by Porter, but be did know' that if aach a scale waa suggested be would approve el it at once. That scale provided lor giving laborers twenty cents an If tbey wurked tea hours, they would got fl. Tbe pew system weald tend to tbe employment of a greater number of mep, and it waa calculated to prevenf the contract system from being adopted. Tbe contract system presented the other alternative.

Updec it contr ictors eoold make bargalna with laborers to work 01 SO or even 01 a dev. Coder Fits John Porter's syoteai of wscea 3,000 people would be benefited under thyn contract system, only 500. II ulil not doubt that some dis-advantaees had accrued to Tammany from the delicate question involved ia wages, but in bia Judgment the best thing they could do was to confirm I he nominal iou ot Fits John I'orter. Mr. Curtis waa here- subjected to a rigorous croea-examination bv.

AliV rmeu Cole and Purrvv. A Merman Color You you are a goid Democrat. Now, tail us did you vote the Democratic tic.et at the last rlectiod! Mr. Curl is I lfl. Dojfou want me to tell you whom I oie for Alderman Xo, t'oere Is no occasion.

Air. Curtis I have yte.l the Tammany ticket when rood meu were nomina ed. 1 have been in toe habit of voting, lor toe Tammany ticket, with perhaps a lew xcepl inua, Ald-nuan Purrhv Do yon know that 1 60 a dny la the market rate for lanorf Mr. Curtie I dou't koasr wnat is the market rate. Alderman Purroy To atated that F.ls John Porter, uncor the new ayaieqt, gives an opportunity to ibe laborers work ten hours a day for 02, and not eirbt boars, as previoulllv.

Now is not that an evasion of tbe Eittbt-bour law I Air. Cnrtis No, Sir if is not sn evasion of it; it is Entirely accoraabce with the spirit and tbe letter of i he law. I say this aa lawyer, and I am willing to establish it. Alderman Purroy -To atated that Fits Jobn Porter, io Bxins tbe rale of wscea. gave an opportunity to laborers to worX ten hours a day fr Do you know if any auoh opportunity was offered, or if any laborer ever took advantage of it Mr.

Curtis I oou't know. The tendency of the new system is to give an opportunity to men to work ten bours for $2. Aider man Purroy You statei that the tendency of the new system of wages was to prevent tbe ndortion of the comrJjct inysiem, which would m-Jnre tbe laiivrera you not know that the Mayor, wbo ha nominated Fits Jobn Porter, has iu his Message com uiilted btoiself to tb cou tract system I At r. Cnrtis I do not. ,1 have not read it.

Al'leruiau Purroy Another questiun, Mr. Cur-tia. You said tbtiAou would be wllllnit io ad-cres a meeting of laborers snd show them that wbat'Kna John Porter did was richt. did you read wnat one oi tbe speakms ssid at the lubori-rs' meeting in the Cooper Institute last night I Tou will remember that the speaker declared that- the committee of which you are one represent only capital aad aot labor, that the speaker waa loudly applauded when be said that. Mr.

Carua i have not read any report of that meet lug. Alderman Cole That will do. Sir. Now, 11 r. Belmont, we deaire to ak you a few questions.

Do yon pay personal taxes in thia City I Mi. liclmont I do. I pay taxes on Lous Island and tjxe in this City, i I am very fund of nahint; snd shootine, and tberofbre 1 remain longer at my bouse on Lone Island tliau in this City. Alderman Purroy T-fu saul yceleToay that yon reduced the wages oi your own laborers to 1 50 a day. did you not I Mr.

Biimont What 1 did aay waa this I paid my men fi a day, audi fbat tliey offeied to work tor 01 50- Aldei mao Purroy Did that redaction take place belore or alter Fas John Porter bad reduced the wages of City laborer Air. Belmont i really cannot hay. AKli rmaa Purroy Can you tell as when that occurred I Mr. Belmont It was in September lsst. Air.

Curtis That was alter Fits John Porter re-daoed tbe rate, tie led tne reduction. Mr. Sidney trebtet a id Mr. John T. Anew next came forward, but made no remarks further than to state that they tuliy indoisod the eeuii-mems of Mr.

Cnrtis. A young man who jtsid he represented several trades-unions, be re naked to be heard against Fits Jobn Porter, but waa denied the privilege. x-Sen-ator Fuller made a' ainnUr request, bat A Merman Purroy thought tbey bad "beard euoucb on the subject." For bia part he atid, he had made up his mind, aod bia opinion cjuuid not be changed. Alderman Cole honed tnat a beariuz would be given to other eitisen, and he edfered a motion to that effect, which waa lost, his colleagues on tbe committee (Messrs. Pnrroy and JUyaagat) voting in tha negative.

A idermao Purroy now move that in the opinion of this eomraittee the oon Urination of Fits John Porter is unwise, and that the committee so report to the board at its next meetinr. Alderman Cole I vote no. because I desire to give an opportunity: to all persons interested to speak on tbe subject. Alderman Purroy I vote aye. Alderman Lmaeht An4 1 vote aye.

Alderman Cole Jbange my vote I vote aye, too. Lund la.igbter.J Alderman Purroy Then tola committee agree to report against tbe opuflrmation of Fits John Porter.

For common work, such as ehandeiiera, to pattern waa nsnally made in weoL It msttered little, however, what wsa ased ptovided it wo eld afford angle and a sharp, clear, smooth surface. Formerly In copying huge pieces of statuary, tbe artist worked entirely by eye, and tbo result fra that bia copy wsa aevsr perfect.

It always had aome of the artists individuality in it, Ia 1638 AcbUle Col las, a Frenchman, adapted the pants graph to obtaining reduced copies' of tbe antique statue. Mr. Vors then explained by means of diagrams bow. tbe nan-taarraph worked. he said, can' only be cast tn aand.

Ia no other medium will the molds "take." as tbe workmen say. Tbe best sand is the yellow magnesium wbieb is obtained from pita near Paris. The pattern made by the artist ia laid on a bed of tbia aand, which is mixed with lamp-black and beaten down hard. Pieces of this sand and lamp-black are then laid on tha pattarn. ao that tbey can "drawn" according to tbe technical term, sod tbe mold ia built Bp erer tbe pattern like so much trick work.

It was generally suonctaed, Mr.

Vors that the very finest broox.i contains silver and gold, one or both, but tbts error arose from a statement made by Cellini, and wbicn had been misunderstood.
