A Reply to a Car Conductor. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I deem it my duty to reply to row correspondent "Justice" of Taesday evening. Ho says tno railroad company is not bound to accommodate every demand that may be mode by people who seo fit to ride in tho care.

Now, sir, I don't claim that they are. This was an exceptional ca howover tbe man lay quietly asleep, not disturbing the peace of thoBe around htm in any way. I am no champion of drunken men, having always been temperate during the whole course of my life, and therefore opposed to drunkenness, besides holding a position of trust in a young Father Mathew Society. But, sir, I am opposed to wrong committed on a man whether ha be drunk or sober, as It was In this case. Your correspondent says tbat the man was quietly led off the car, which Is not the case, unlcEB he calls leading a man off to take hold of blm by the collar of tbe coat and shove bim off as If ho wero a dog, which don't come np to my idea pf leading a man off; and farther, he says that the man got on at the ferry, on tbe contrary he rode to the ferry, because the driver came in and said to bim, "wake up or we'll take you back to Bedford again." Now that shows that he did not get in at the ferry, so tbat the conductor did not carry him down for nothing.

As for abusive language there was nothing of the kind all that was said was in tho mildest tones. Now, sir, I hops that this will be the last of these vices. Plenty that saw it can corroborate all that I have said. "Justice" had better let conductors speak for themselves next time; there are others that can sec things as well as himself. Hoping you will excuse me for again troubling you, lam Very respectfully yours.

From sixteen to twenty steamers are carrying excursion parties across the Channel. The price for the round trip from London to Paris and back is $5 to $23, according to accommodation.

The hearty and affectionate attachment which lately broke out between Horace Greeley and Wendell Phillips continues to develop charmingly. The hardest bit Greeley has given Phillips is the exposure, by extracts from old speeches, of the latter's inconsistency on the question of punishing Jeff. Davis. Phillips revenges himself for this by saying in hiB laBt letter that he will not insult the President by comparing him with Greeley: that Mr.

Johnson released Davis, but be didn't go down to Elchmond to congratulate and shake hands with him. The Canadians having secured their Dominion, now receive a Viceroy at the hands of their gracious Sovereign.

A Hove In the Right Direction. Wo have already stated that BtreeiOom rnissioner Fnrey liad announced his intention of asking for the removal of one of the spectors of Contracts who had certified to street contractors' bills knowing the streets had not been properly cleaned.

The following affidavit has been filed by Mr. Furey in the.Mayor's office Office of ihe Stbeet Comnssiotran, I June To the Hon. Samuel Booth: 8m: The undersigned, Street Commissioner of the City of Brooklyn, charges that Ensign Driggs, au Inspector of Contracts and work done thereunder for the said city, has been derelict in his duty as such Inspector, and specifies as follows 1. That upon the 29th day of May, 1867, the said Driggs did, in his official capacity, certify that the work of cleaning the streets of the 14th Ward of the city had been done and performed by the contractor for doing Buch work for the elty, according to contract, and did attach to his monthly bill therefor, his official endorsement and approval. That at the time the said certificate and indorsement were made the following named streets in said Ward remained and were nncleaned and in a very dirty condition, and as to which the contract for cleaning the streets of said Ward had not been comnlied with, viz North Sixth, between Fifth and Sixth streets.

North Sixth, between First and Fourth Btreets. (This place is in a filthy condition.) Worth Third, between First and Third streets. North Fourth street, corner of Second street. Seventh street, corner North Sixth street. Fifth streot, between Grand street and Fillmore Place.

And that portions of North First and North Second bore evidence of not having been cleaned for three months or more. 2. That the said Driggs did furthor, upon the Soth of May, 1S67, in his official capacity, certify that the work of cleaning the streets of the Fifteenth Ward of the said city had been performed according to contract made for the cleaning of the same with the said city, and did attach to the monthly bill of the contractor for cleaning the same his official indorsement and approval. That at the timo the said certificate and indorsement were made the following named streots of the said ward wero uncleaned and in a very filthy condition, and as regards which the said contract had not been complied with Grand street, from Eleventh to Lorimer street; Ninth, from Grand to North First street North First, from Ninth to Union avenue, whlci said streets bore evidence of not having been cleaned for long period, and were very dirty. The undersigned, in view of these facts, presents these charges to you, as Mayor of thiB city, pursuant to the provisions oi the city charter, as amended in 1S6S, 8., Chap.

721. Yours respectfully, R. Fubey, Street Commissioner. City of Brooklyn, Kings County ss: Kobert Furey being duly sworn, says that he is the Street Commissioner of the City of Brooklyn, and that the charges heretofore set forth, are true of his own knowledge. Robert Fobet, Street Commissioner.

Sworn to before mo this 1st day of June, 1807. James Duffy, Com. of Deeds. The office of Inspector of Contracts was created about four years ago, under the Board of Contracts regime, when Martin Kalb fleisch was Mayor. Three Inspectors were appointed whose duty it was to see that all contracts made with the city were properly fulfilled, and no contractor could draw any money from the Treasury without their knowledge and consent; on the certificate of these Inspectors the heads of departments were accustomed to sign contractors' bills.

With an easy going set of officials in the City Hall, these Inspectors have been literally Lords of the Treasury. How they have performed their duties for five years past, let the neglected streets answer. All this time, or until within a few months past, the contractors have regularly drawn their pay on the Inspectors certificates, none of the auditing and supervising officials caring to inquire into the matter, or to dispute the word of the Inspectors in face of the evidence of filthy streets, and complaints of work neglected: On there the general evidence of uncleaned streets, coupled with the fact that the contractors have heretofore regularly drawn their pay, the Inspectors of Contracts all ought to have been removed long ago. Street Commissioner Furey is backing up his promise to have the streets properly cleaned, or see that no money is paid out of the Treasury to negligent contractors, and not to be thwarted in his purpose by the well, good nature of the Inspectors of Contracts, he requests the removal of Mr. Ensign Driggs.

The power of removal rests with the Mayor, who proposes to act on the advice of the Corporation Counsel. There is an attempt to present Mr. Driggs as a persecuted man but he lacks capital for this role. He is a Democrat, and so is Mr. Furey, which divests the act of political significance, and his successor will be named by the Mayor, and not by the Street Commissioner.

Mr. Driggs may be a very worthy gentleman, and we have heard nothing of him to the contrary his fault may lie only in a too obliging disposition, and a deceptive vision. An Inspector of Contracts should be made of sterner stuff, have keen olfactories and the vision of an Argus. The Tribune is delighted with General Sheridan's acts as a Reconstruetionist. Iu a burst of enthusiasm it says "But, after all, honor to Phil.

His course in Louisiana brings hack much of what was grand in tte administration of Sheridan has good reason to exclaim, "Save me from my friends The Albany papers, arid; Albany correspon dents famish but few facta concerning the late tragedy at the Capital iu addition to those given yesterday. The correspondent of the Tribune writes Tbe murder of last nlsdit is still the prominent tonic of conversation.

Opinions are divided as to the justification of tho act, bnt among tbo members of tho convention tno sympathy ib almost wnoiiy witn Mr. Hiscock. HiB character In tho past is said by those who knew him best, to be free from anv stain, nor has rumor even pointed at him. In tbe Convention this morning the Hon. Martin J.

Townsand, of Troy, characterized the act as an assassination, and thought it tbe duty of tbe Convention, as tbe molders and upholders of Ian, to call murder by its right name. Aivuuugu iuu prisoner was mucn excuea last evea intr. he to day anDears cool and collected. He doesnot regret the act nor hiB own suffering, but laments tbo publicity and shame which It must bring upon his wife, whom bo describes as a high spirited woman. His friends have engaged as counsel Mr.Hadley of this city, who gained high reputation as a criminal lawyer in the defense of Mrs.

Hartung. There seems but little doubt tbat tho murder was premeditated. Not only was Colo heavily armed, but one fact which did not transpire at tho Coroner's inquest adds to tbis belief. Upon returning to Stanwlx Hall on Taesday evening, alter the drawing for seats, Mr. Hiscock found a note for him from a ladv.

maklmr an appointment to meet him. He mentioned it to a friend, remarking that It was too late to keep the appointment when ne received the note. This was less man naif an hour previous to tbe murder, and it Is asserted that Mrs. Cole was the writer. Later developments tend to show that Mrs.

Cole came on lo Albany to warn Hiscock of her husband's intention to kill him, and sent blm a note which arrived too late to be of service in mnlrtno An meet him. It is now settled that General Colo tIfo u4 John R. Cuyler came to this city In tho same train, iuyiernim registering jura, cole's name and his own at the Delavan House but about one hour afterwards, Cuyler, calling at the ofllco, stated that Mra. Cole's husband bad arrived and rcMstereri hlo nam Tho book keeper soon afterwards sent to the room which naa Deen assignea to airs, uole, and stated that he could give them a larger and better room, if they desired, but Mr. Cole returned the reply that the room would answer his purposes.

It is also evident that he sanntered out for the express purpose of meeting Mr. Hiscock, and muBt have Been him stand ing iuo ouicu oi ouiuwix Jiaii oerore he entered. It is now a settled fact that hn m. victim no warning, did not say a word to mm, out arew nis pistol ana deliberately walked up close to blm and fired, and then stated why he committed tho deed. Tho whole thing was dono so quick, and those standing round were so shocked, that it could not bo recalled at first whether the statement was made by the assassin before or after the report of the pistol.

But not a word was uttered until after the shot, and after Mr. Hiscock had fallen to the floor. The victim was a taller and much larger man than tho assailant, and the ball, entering below tho eye, must have passed upward into the brain. Under these circumstances he could not have known what hurt blm, and ivas senseless. Iu fact the only sign to Bhow that life lingered at all, was the fact that with every breath, the blood gushed oat of bis nose and month.

Ho uttered no sound, not even a groan. It was difficult. In fact, to determine just at what moment he breathed his last. The amount of blood that flowed was really astonishing. General Cole has two daughters, one of fourteen add the other cf eleven.

His family connections are of the highest respectability. Since the war he has beon in the revenue service, and it Is rnmorcd that Mr. Hiscock, was at this very time, working for his promotion with the authorities at Washington. Tbe friend of Mr. Hiscock speak well of the previous personal character of General Cole, and his reputation in tho army was unimpeachable.

The prisoner's attachment to his wife amounts to an infatuation, and he is very loth to attach any blame to her. Considering the rank of the parties.and the high respectability of their connections, tho trial promises to be one of anequaled interest. Tho World correspondent writes Tbo only thing talked of to day Is the tragedy of last evening, which resulted In the di'ath of L. Harris Hiscock, one of the membere of tho Convention. The mystery in connection with tho affair still increases, from the fact that General Cole has made two or three statements in addition to that telegraphed last evening to the Associated Press, neither of which agrees with that, wblch naturally throws suspicion upon all that he Bays.

When this fact is taken into consideration, with the other fact tbat an effort was originally made to show that Mr. Colo and his wife accidentally met here yesterday morning, coming irom different directions, when in fact they came together, it is not at all surprising that the whole question is mystified. Opinions or the Press. The journals which comment on the affair seem to be desirous of making a little political capital out of it, or rather of turning the facta to account, 'as an endorsement of the peculiar views they advocate. The murdered man belonged to tho Radical side of tbe house, and it would seem from the following from our local cotemporary, the Times, ho acted with tho more reduced wing of the party Tho amount of corruption In prominent men which every day brings to light is really Btartling, and singularly enough those who make the largest professions of religion, loyalty, temperance and blue ligbt mor chronicle of crime.

The worse than 'Bestial offences of the Reverend berenn Howe, of the Massachusetts Legislature, though it would bo ciScult to pararlel them anywhere, find sometLiig almost as vile in th3 hypocritical libertinism with which Hiscock took ad. vantage of a professionol call on the Bick wire of a fiicnd, to prostitute her to his lust. Althongh tho act of Cole iii shooting the destroyer of bis happiness cannot bo defended on abstract grounds, yet, if hiB statement bo true, pullic opinion wit! not blame him, very severely. Tbe Albany JZvening Journal denounces Cole in the strongest language, and characterizes his offence as deliberate murder. It requires no inconsiderable ingenuity to connect tho case with politics, and yet the World contrives to do so as follows But this need not prevent us from calling public attention to the great weakening of tho general sense iu respect to the uBe of violence, which Is so strikingly Illustrated in the comments of the Convention upon thiB melancholy affair.

We may already see on a larger scale, and in relation to a whole commonwealth, how this phenomenon threatens the very foundations of onr general liberty in our communal independence. The so called "Union men" of Tennessee, under tho guidance of Brownlow, are carrying Into politics exactly the temper which Cole carried into nis personal aflairs. They bold themselves to have been sorely aggrieved by tlie "rebels" daring the recent war, and they ore bent on doing themselves what they consider "juftico'. by exactly such summary and violent means as Cole chose to adopt in "righting" what all mankind are agreed in regarding as tho most intolerable of wrongs. If it be reasonable to look upon the siiooting at Albany as a circumstance fitted to impress upon members of a constitutional convention tbe "importance of the supremacy of law," how much more reasonable is it lo draw a similar lesson from the daily striking down in Tennessee of all that is most sacred in public order and in ihe private right of opinion.

The Herald, singularly enough, sees iu the crime evidence of the prevailing conviction in the public mind that ihe lawB are little bettor than dead letters in certain cases, and hence men set about righting their own wrongs. If it should appear, in Coles' acquittal, that the law, in his case, shall be a dead letter, we presume the Herald will be prepared to justify deceased's next oi kin in avenging bis relative's death ou Cole. It seems to us tbat the Herald's logic would bring us back to barbarism. SOUTHERN AID ASSOCIATION. "Wliat the Brooklyn Ladies Have Dane, and What they Propose to do.

Tbe "Brooklyn Ladies' Southern Relief Association" have now adjourned their regular business meetings from the present time to the fall season, when, if there still exists the same necessity for continued exertion to "feed the hungry and clothe the naked," as now, they will again reorganize, upon a somewhat differontand moro extended basis, the more effectually to meet the resistless claims of suffering hurcanity. From its commencmont to tho present time, tho Society has been met by grave difficulties, growing out of tho fact lhat very many persons lo whom thoy havo applied will take nono but a political vlow of the question, and denunciation, instead of aid, is freely given. Another fact, tbat the residents here, doing business in New York, are applied to, and give largely from their counting rooms to the New York Association all right, and fulfilling tho same Christian purpose, but making the Brooklyn efforts to appear small, in comparison to those of her elder sister across the water.

The clergy, in many cases, have responded cheerfully to tLc request for collections fn the various churches.

Many have dono so without an appeal boing made to tbcm, and some have declined oven the courtesy of a reply. In two or three instances (I am glad to namo bo few) tbey bavo been met in a most unchristian spirit even Willi abuse, which only led them the more to feel that Christ's mission must be carried out by others, as well as by thot bearing His high and holy commission, if forgiveness and love" were tho ensigns of true religion.

Mr. Hntcheon, of the Athe nrnm building, was the successful provider, and offered every facility in his power to aid tbe ladies In their duties.

Some talk followed, from wblch it appearod that one of the men was named Charles Sutton, from this city, and tbe other a Canadian, and that Sutton was a "scab" while here. The question arose as to what terms, if any, the Brooklyn Society would allow Sutton to be admitted to tho Boston Society, which was finally decided by cariying a motion to the effect that the Corresponding Secretary be authorized to notify the Boston plasterers tbat they might admit Sutton upon condition that he pay the Bum of the Brooklyn Society's initiation, $2U, in addition to that required by the Boston Society, $5.

The corner stone of the neiv building for St. Ann's Church, on the corne o' Clinton and Livingston streets, was yesterday evening laid with ao propriate ceremonies by the Right Reverend Horatio Potter, Bishop of New York, a number of our local clergy assisting. The hour fixed for the commencement of the servi ces was five o'clock. Long before that time tbe space provided for the public was occupied, and the streets along the eidCB of the excavation lined with spectators, who watched with interest the preparations for the ceremony. The residents of the locality, too, mani fested their interest in the proceedings, the windows of tbe adjacent buildings furnishiug outlooks, of which a number availed them pelves.

The weather was propitious, the sun shining orignuy, out, r.oi loo sirongiy. liverytmng, in stlort, cuiipucu iu uiuivu iiiu occasion pleasant ana auspicious.

They would interpret it as a token and pledge of the earnest and fruitful labors of the ministry in the future. He cordially welcomed him to the responsibilities, the co operations and sympathies of the stewardship of souls in this popn Ions City of Churches. He alluded to S'. Ann's Church as the venerable mother of them all, which he held to be no idle and unmeaning pre eminence, not a dignity of name, or possession, or inheritance, but that real and true and lasting dignity which has its origin in the sense of increased obligation, and of renewed responsibility. It was bis prayer that she might, in her future work, increase the legitimate presltgt ariBing out of this relation of motherhood to the Episcopal pariEhes of this city, fiat she miht carry a free gospel to win the hearts of the multitude, and that she might exhibit a tone of churchly sympathy which should enable all who owned her as their ecclesiastical mother to feel that they could find with her a common home.

After reiterating bis best wishes for tho church, he resumed his seat. The Rev. Dr. Schenck then arose and acknowledged the indebtedness of himself, of the officers and congregation to the Bishop and clergy for their attendance and their good wishes. He reciprocated tho sentiments of Wb future neighbor, the Rev.

Dr. Llltlejohn, and pledged himself with the help of God, to devoto bis labors Id the carrying oat of the liberal and enlightened policy which tbat gentleman had Bkotchod. At the conclusion of hiB address tho services were completed, and tho audience dismissed with the beno diction. The police arrangements on tho occasion were under charge of Sergeant Beatty, of the Forty first Precinct, who deserves commendation for the excellent order maintained on the occasion. THE NEW EDIFICE.

The proposed new building it is expected will be completed about tbo commencement of the year 1809. It is to be 78 feet wide by 1201n length, with a transept on the north sideJJ6by44. Tho front, and tbe side facing on Livingston streot, are to De of Belleville "one, trimmed with Cleveland stone, which will give it a ugut and elegant appearance. There will be two towers, each 120 feet in height, while the length of tho gable will be 05 feet. Underneath there will be a basement the whole size of the building, for Sunday School estimated tbat it will seat 2,500 people, and that it will cost about $200,000.

fS; ABDtiCTioN. A Mrs. Stewart residing at 203 First Btreet, on Tuesday caused the arrest of an Italian named Abraham Saqiti, a near nolgh him with taking iter daughter, aged years from her control and coSccal Ingber. The parlies appeared bcrero Justice Dailcy yesterday morning and the examination was adjourned till the afternoon. Tbo weight of tho teUmonvlteB with the party most interested, tho daughter who It la understood, will not be likely to criminat? Several trivial cases of assault were examined Into by Justice Dailcy yesterday morning In which tho arsimHing parties wens placed under bonds for their good behavior.

ated the fact, and has made the Eagle what it is. If by boasting of ruling within the sphere of our influence, is meant that the vast majority of the people of Brooklyn in the main agree with those principles of Government which the Eaglk has upheld from the first day of its existence to the present, and that we have been always proud of the fact, we concede all this. But was it not truer last fall than ever it was before, and is it not truer to day than it was then If Mr. Chittenden is satisfied with the success" of his organ, and of the schemes it advocates, under these circumstances, why should we complain His journal has finished him politically. It bids fair to itself by the advocacy of corrupt this pavement job.

With the Eagle, politically, a majority of our people are in accord, while we count equally as our friends those of our readers, with whom, while we cannot agree, they and we are content courteously to differ. On local measures the Eagle is on the side of all who are opposed to jobs like that which we now dismiss, as not only dead, but rotten. Prison Philanthropy. We are entering on a summer which bids fair to be unusually sultry, and perhaps no time could be more suitable for calling public attention to our prisons, and the necessity of not overcrowding them, of insisting on the strictest cleanliness, and proper attention to the diet of prisoners, than the present. Let the horrors of cholera, the causes that produce it and the means of its arrest, be remembered by us all.

Bad ventilation, dirt in all its forms, over crowding and bad food, are secondary, if not primary, causes of this disease, and perhaps of every other, whilst the opposites of these are the most powerful of all agents in preserving the public health. We have before us the "First Reports of Rev. J. Willett's Prison Visitation in Brooklyn and Kings County," very recently published, and which demands, in our opinion, the' consider, ation of all well wishers to practical philanthropy. The revelations therein made as to our prisons and the'roccupants.

are certainly of a startling character, and although no blame is attached to any set of officials, the inference is very clear that our penal system requires amelioration. Whilst there is evidence in Mr. Willett's report that much has been done, it is certain that much more remains to do. Let us take the case of our County Jail as depicted by him. "Elsewhere," he says, the authorities bathe, wash, comb and dress up those committed to their custody on the very threshold of the prison, and maintain them clean and somewhat wholesome in appearance Here there is no provision made for these sani.

tary essentials. The prison is neither supplied with baths, washing conveniences, soap, towels," Very recently, we believe, a tin pan has been placed in each cell, but in every other particular this description is accurate. The male prisoners," the report continues, "arc often crowded by fours, fives and occasionally up to sevens in cells, about ton feet long by seven feet wide, less about two feet in length of space occupied by soil and heating pipes. For want of rooms to classify, men steeped in crime and glorying in their shame, are often thrust into the same cell with youths and even little boys charged with first offences, together with others who are held there by caprice and without examination, for the purpose of extorting confession, or some such other speculation. Then, there are the cleanly and the filthy prisoners, all penned up pell mell together.

The latter have, perhaps, just emerged from some foul den of infamy, covered with vermin and otherwise tormented with loathsome disease." If this state of things be horrible in winter, what must it be in summer? Nor is any effectual relief possible until the jail is remodeled and enlarged. It is the right time to look to these things. If the object of punishment be refor mation, who ever heard of salvation by vermin and by filth If boys, on a first offence, such as some paltry theft of what is valueless, are to be locked up in jail, the object must surely be to arrest them from further progress in a downward course. But will this be the effect of such intimate contact with hardened criminals? or will they rather be touched by tbe contagion of habitual villainy, or come out steeped in a criminality of which thev were innocent when they were sent in? Many, moreover, of those incarcerated in the jail are not criminals at all, but men who, having imbibed too freely, after the manner of some of the Scripture patriarchs, have not the necessary ten dollars to assuage the virtuous indignation of our courts, and have to endure ten days of this loathsome contact with the; great or let us rather say, the villainous unwashed. When Job, amid his scraping with a potsherd, cried out of old, I am become the companion of grasshoppers, and the friend of dragons," he was depicting an ely sium compared with the condition of those who, accustomed to decency and cleanliness, are thus forced to be the close companions of the filthy and offensive.

Here, then, in a brief view, we have a catalogue of evils that demand public measures and immediate personal effort. No blame, let it be once for all understood, is attached to the officials. All that the law requires, the sheriff to do is," as Mr. Willett states, to feed and keep the prisoners in safe custody, and his contract will afford no more." He, probably, like the keeper of the Penitentiary, heartily laments a state of things which he has no power to change. The work must be done by the public voice by the press, by meetings, by petitions and the Legislature and we think Mr.

Willett, who has not sought, certainly, his own benefit in his arduous visitations, deserves well of our citizens for putting before them a body of facts which reveal the absolute necessity of prison reform. Summer Recreations. The season of out door amusements has fairly set in, and the excitement of the race course, the calm enjoyment of the picnic, or the exhilarating exercise of base ball claim the attention of our pleasure seeking population. The interest in base ball playing is somewhat on the wane, the excitement has been a little overdone during the past two or three years. There are as many clubs and there will doubt Ices be as many matches played this season as ever, but base ball will not be the all engrossing business it has been, other out door amusements will share the public attention.

Tbe race courses in this vicinity have been eclipsed by the Fordham and Paterson courses, and the racing interest is milder in Brooklyn than New York. Yachting and boating are claiming a share of attention, and they are the most manly and health giving recreations, but active participation in them must always be limited. Brooklyn boasts two yacht clubs.the Brooklyn and the Atlantic, between which there is but airiendly rivalry. Last season was a rather dull one; except, at tbe annual Regatta of each club, the public heard nothing of the Brooklyn yachtmen The Regattas of both clubs came off this month, after that a race between the best boats of each club would he a pleasant excitement and stimulate a wholesome rivalry. The Coney Island road which is and will continue to be, the fashionable and popular drive until Prospect Park is finished, is now in its liveliest aspect, as but few of our fashionables havo yet left town.

The pic nfc season has fairly commenced and the suburban groves and parks are the resorts of happy parties of school children, romantic young persons and 6taid heads of families, to whom this simple form of pleasure is the only semblance of rustic enjoyment within their reach. One customary feature of this season of the year, we miss, the strawberry festival of the churches. The lateness of the season, keeping the fruit at a high price leaving no margin for profit, is the cause of their suspension; but with a cheaper market for berries wemayexpact a renewal of these festivals which are not without their pleasant associations. The Long Island Railroad Company aro making mach needed improvement at their Jamaica Station. ations in this city last evening adopted a resolution declaring that they will insist on the enforcement of the Eight Hour Law on and after Monday, the 19th inst.

The plasterers propose to commence work at eight o'clock, and to work until fire, with an hour for dinner, instead of working from seven until six, as now, except on Saturdays, when they propose to commence work at seven o'clopk, and to close their labors at four in the afternoon This curtailment of the wages of labor one fifth it is declared will be accompanied by a voluntary reduction of hours in the same proportion, If the plasterers now receive five dollars for ten hours work they are paid at the rate of fifty cents per hour if they chose to work but eight hours at the same rate, or at four dollars per day of eight hours, we hold that they have a perfect right to their choice. This is a fair way of testing a problem whose solution will be looked for with no little interest. The strongest argument offered in favor of the eight hour law was, in our opinion, that which started with admitting an unquestioned truth, that the price of labor will be regulated by the demand for it By the enforcement of the Eight Hour law, it wa3 held, the laborer takes one fifth of the article he has to dispose of out of the market. The demand for the article will be increased in this proportion, and in the competition for his labor, the workingman can get more for it. The Duteh applied the principle long ago in quite a different direction.

Their possession of the Spice Islands gave them a monopoly of the market. The less the supply the greater the price, and the Dutchmen accordingly burned one half the spice raised and charged double price for what was left If the products of labor could be classed with the luxuries rather than the necessaries of life, the Dutch example could be safely followed. The weak point in this view of the case is, that the value of labor is relative, and not absolute. If the mechanic now finds it as much as he can do to live on five dollars a day, he cannot and will not bo content with four, no matter what the law may say. Again, if the movement is general, as of course it will be, or it will fail altogether, with the decrease of production one fifth, the price of everything produced by labor will increase in the same ratio.

Here the law of demand and supply will again come in. The bootmaker, for instance, can turn out say six pairs of boots in six days of ten hours each. He can make but five by working six daya of eight hours. If the bootmaker hopes to get the same remuneration as now the plasterer must pay a fifth more for his boots than he now does, while under the law he accepts one fifth less wages. This, it will be seen, is shortening the blanket at both ends." But, tbe working man say: We do not want tbe same wages.

We are content to work for less. If so, does it not follow that he must be content to dispense 'with some luxury or necessary which his present wages can command? To return to our illustration: If a boot maker, who is accustomed to supply six pair of boots to six plasterers, can supply but five, it follows that one must go without. The industry of the country is unsettled; the price of everything the workingman uses is high an enormous amount is subatracted from the earnings of labor to support the expenses of the government. Under such circumstances the workingman may be able to dispense with a fifth of his present earnings for this is what the plasterers propose but we doubt it, unless the workingmen have secretly resolved to cut off a corresponding por on of their expenses. This, we fear, few mechanics who have families to support, can do.

The argument is often advanced Formerly it was customary for workingmen to labor twelve and even sixteen hours per day. We have got our time down to ten hours. Why may we not get it down to eight It can be got down to eight when with eight hour's labor the workingman can support his family. It was in this way it was got down from sixteen to ten. A mechanic may now labor twelve hours a day, put the surplus earned by for use in bis old age, or for the benefit of those who may succeed him.

He chooses to forgo this advantage and to work but ten hours. There are working men who save money out of their present wages, but tney are excep tionaly economical, or have none or few others but themselves to support. be workincmen who are now settinir five Jars per day and spending it, cannot live pur, unless he has made the wise resolve dvance to cut off some expensive habit he now indulges in. If our reasoning I not prove to be correct we shall be ly glad 01 it. The experiment is fto be tested, and we are glad that it eed not be accompanied by any disturbance of the existing friendly relations between cap ital and labor.

Johbcry and Journalism. The Nicolson Pavement Jobbers have evidently overreached themselves, and they naturally enough repay the Eagle by abuse for its prompt and thorough exposure of their schemes. The improvement of Clinton street bids fair to be delayed, if not defeated altogether, by the trickery of those interested in the TTicolson pavement, in lobbying through a law under which the Clinton street Commissioners are assumed to be compelled to use the Nicolson pavement, if they should decide on wooden pavement as a. substitute for stone pavement The magnitude of the job will be seen from the fact that there are ten thousand iota on the street, and if the pavement should cost three hundred dollars a lot, as estimated, the aggregate expense would be $3,000,000. With this sum almost within their grasp, we can well understand the rage of those interested against the Eagle for helping to spoil their little game." If, as stated, the patent expires within two years, we can thoroughly appreciate the zeal of these gentry iu hurry ing up the improvement.

Our readers will bear us witness that we have urged on the public no particular sort of pavement. All we contend for is, the right of those who will be called upon to pay for the pavement to say, which, if auy, of the wooden pavements now before tb.9 public shall be used? Is it not a monstrous perversion of legislation to give, by law, a monopoly of the market to any set of individuals? This is done in the Clinton street improvement bill, unless, as is now reasonably certain, the Commissioners shall decide upon vising stone pavement, in which eTent they are at liberty to contract with whom they please, but if they should decide on using wooden pavement, they must deal with the owners of the Nicolson patent Is not the fraud attempted so self evident that any man can see it? In coming in between the public and these schemers we are accused of being actuated by an unworthy motive. It is said that we have been deceived or have deceived ourselves with the belief that Mr. Chittenden is interested in the Nicolson pavement, which he has puffed so incessantly in his paper. If we have been deceived, Mr.

Chittenden has countenanced the deception. It has been publicly stated, again and again, that Mr. Chittenden's brother in law is the owner the Nicolson patent for this section. If this is so.Mr. Chittenden is naturally interested in the success of his relative, whose interest he is so watchful of in his paper.

If this be not so, one sentence from Mr. Chittenden will set the question at rest. But wo are told i to be active In the establishment or a (staunch, enterprising, and successful Union paper in a field which for a quarter of a century Democratic Journal has boastedof ruling." It is' true the Eagle has been for a quarter of a century the representative paper of Brooklyn; but it is equally true that it has always had rival journals opposed to it, and competing with it for public approval It always will have. Why should we find any 'fault with Mr. Chittenden for occupying a position sure to be held by somebody? We remember rival so weak as that Mr.

Gregg was not a warrant of dlspoBessIon, but a summons to appear before the Justice to show cause why ho should not be dispososscd for holding over after the expiration of his term.

Tho Late WLr. W. F. Brough. From the Liverpool Post, May 23d.

It is our duty to announce the death of a gentleman once very popular among tbe theatre goers of Liverpool, London, Dublin, and En fact most of the chief towns or the United Kingdom but now for many years past moro Intimately associated with American theatricals than with the stage of his native country. Mr. William Francis Brough made his first appearance in public as a bass singer, at tho Worthing Theatre (Sussex) in tho year 1818. His success as a vocalist in this remote corner of England was so great as speedily to obtain for blm a metropolitan engagement and for three years be filled the post olprimo basso the English operas represented at the Haymarket. Ho subsequently visited most of tho principal theatrical towns of England Liverpool being one of tboso in which he was most enthusiastically welcomed.

It was, however, on the other Bide of St. George's Channel tbat he was best known prior to his departure for America, Mr. Brough having been a first favorite at the Dublin Theatre for twelve years. In the year 1817 Mr. Brongh accompanied the celebrated Mrs.

Wood and her husband to tho United States. HiB success upon tbo American stage was scarcely, if at ail, inferior to that which had marked his career In Great Britain. Soon after his arrival in America, however, he devoted simeelf to a different branch of theatrical bnBlness tbat of managemont and it is as a manaore.r and business agenLof ail the principal dramatic and operatic stars wbo have visited the States for tbe last twenty years, that Mr. Brough will bo most generally remembered. Almost a new generation has grown up since Mr.

Brougb was known bere as a vocalist bnt acrosB tbo Atlantic wo may almost say throughout every State in tho Union bis name was a household word in the months of all connected with things theatrical. That be leaves many friends behind him in this country wbo will deeply lament his loss is certain but he will be more universally, if not more sincerely, regretted In the land of bis adoption, where he spent the laat twenty years of his life. Mr. Brongh only arrived in Liverpool on Saturday last, having sailed from New York in the Minnesota. He was taken violently ill npou the voyage, his ailment being rheumatism, a disease from which he had suffered severely for very many years.

The following communication bos been received from the President of the Montague club and tells its own story. Probably after reading this communication the President of the other Montague will reply Mb. Editob In your paper of Tuesday, June 4th, I notice tho score of a game played between the Osceola clnb and a nine purporting to bo the Montague B. B. Clab.

From good authority, Mr. Editor, I assure you the Montosuo B. B. Club have played no matches as yet this season. With regard to tbe Osceola club, I know nothing of them, except that they do not belong to the Convention but this so called Montaaue club knows that anything dishonorable may be done by them and they will be safe, like the monkey who steals everything he can lay his paws on, and then climbs to the top of the nearest elevation and thinks he is free from pursuit.

But as the monkey may be reached by powder and shot, aperhapMhe members of tb's nice may oe inducad to chuDge the name to which they have no right, or even the sbadow of a right. Our organization was made known and the notice of it published in all the Brooklyn papers about the lltb oi April, and yet in the face of It all they dare to tako that to which they have no claim. So far as clubs, members of the Convention, are concerned, they may be prevailed upon not to play anv counterfeit nines and as for clubs which do not belong to any association for the improvement of ba. ball, we respectfully trust they will not so clearly violate the commonest rules of politeness, even though they may stand a clinnco of emulating the Oiceola club, and win by a larger score than 55 to 23. I am, sir, your3 truly, A.

Somo time during the night, the front door of Mr. George Kelsy's bouse in Classed near Parle avenue was forced, and tbe operator entered tho house and stoic clothing valued at $50, with which be escaped at tbo time.

A man named John T. Kcyser, in tho employ of Mr. Kelscy, was this morning arrested by Officer Wilson, of the Forty fourth Precinct, on sospi; clon of committing tbe burglary, and was, held br examination before Justice Moroboasc. Sir Henry Bulwer, the diplomatist, who exploited himself with more or less chieOy less success in this country for a time, has been writing letters to prove that Turkey Is a eroat country, and that the Turks are a great people. They have been supporting the position of their eulogist by their conduct in the Cretan conflict.

The Turks have a vary amiable and delicate way of carrying on war, and perhaps their most amiable and delicate military officer is Omar Pasha, who, once a Christian, with one wile and small wages, renounced his religion and sold his sword for a large salary and unrestricted domestic relations. The best newB in to day's journals is the confirmation of his defeat. His predecessor in command in Crete declared that tho island could not be subjected with lesB than 100,000 men. The arrogant Omar promised that it should be done with 40,000. The result is his discomfiture.

Compelled to retreat, he moved cast ward, ravaging the country as he went. He cut down olive trees just alter bis defeat. One of tbe arguments by which he had triod to persuade the Cretans to surrender, was a threat that if they resisted he would destroy all the olive trees on the island. Here is material for another enthusiastic letter from Balwjr. A case of sunstroke, the first of the season, occurred in New York yesterday.

The supply of African importations running short of late years, the Cuban slave traders turned their attention to Coolies, who have proved profitable articles of commerce. Recently the traffic has taken the form of a speculative mania, which has siezed all classes of business men on the island. Merchants whose transactions were formeily limited to drygobdB and provisions, are now interested in Coolies, jnst as in this country, at certain periods, legitimate tradesmen dabble in stocks. Cargoes of tbe wretched Chinese arrive at Havana almost daily. Tbe price of a Chinaman varies from $150 to $330.

Indian affairs remain in an unsatisfactory condition. Difficulties are no sooner settled than we hear of a new and frightful massacre. The savages are alwayB blamed, and certainly they arc not the sweetest tempered of men. But a port of tho wrong is on the other side. It is notorious that Government agents grow rich by defrauding the redskins of the goods the Government has paid for to be distributed among them.

Such treatment does not make any men amiable. When civilized people are the victims of sharp practice they ro to law about it. But there are no courts on the Plains, and Lo I tbe poor Indian, whose untutored mind" fails to discriminate between the man who has wronged him and others of the same color, falls upon the first company of whites he meets and Blays and scalps with savage looseness. A reform in the administration of Indian affairs might do Bonu thing toward preserving the peace at the far West. But accepting war as tho policy it seom3 to be very inefficiently prosecuted.

Very often companies of infantry are sent after the Indians, who laugh at them from tbe backs of their "fiery, untamed Bteeds." Sometimes cavalry fares no better. General Custer, who is on the war path, has more to fear from his own men than from the enemy. He lost 300 by desertion in one month. There is no abatement of the suicide epidemic in Havana, but a novel cause for tbe rash act is assigned in a recent case. Usually young Cubans commit self slaughter because women refuse to marry them, but tbe other day one sought destruction because he was already married.

Sandier, employed by a mercantile firm, was discharged. Had he beon a bachelor he would probably have tried to get another situation, but being married he resolved that life was a mockery, and incontinently killed himself. The folly of suicide was never better illustrated. Had Sancher instead of blowing out his brains made an effort to nn them in behalf of the wife and children thoughts of wuuui uau unvcu mm iu uesperuuon, his lamily might not now have been destitute. We have already published the programme of the Czar for hiB first two days In Paris: Saturday, reception at the Tuileries, and Sunday the races.

On Monday he visited the Exhibition. On Tuesday he wbb grand banqueted with tbe Diplomatic Corps at the Palace, and in the evening went to the opera. To day he reviews the military, ond to morrow will attend a magnificent ball at the Hotel de Ville. Next Sunday be will violate the Excise Law by going to a erand fete at Versailles, and for Monday a Court ball at the Tuileries is arranged. All which will be regarded by many good people as a frightful round of drssipation for or man who ought to be a model for his 70,000 000 subjects.

Probably never before were so many men who are regarded and regard themselveB as well informed in sporting matters bo badly bitten, as on the laBt EngliBh Derby day. Hermit, the winner, bad broken a bloodvessel not long before, he had taken, no exercise for some days, ana it was not believed he would run. However he made his appearance and a very bad one it was. Nobody travo him a thought in estimating the probable result. His owner was offered odds of 1,000 to 15.

The chance however slight could not bo neglected and tbe now nn, nnAnt.i rr "i.i.cicu. xierajis won. His owner took the stakes, all the bets bookei at the fearful odds named, and large sums he had put up against other horses In all $100,000. This would not be a bad day's work, even for tho operators in Pacific Mail or makers of Erie pools. Daley, who consented at the last moment to ride the winner made $45,000 in about ten minutes.

Hermit's original jockey who refused to ride doubtless felt exceedingly cheerful. We are not informed whether the horse suffered much from his broken bloodvessel durin the race, and nothing is said as to the state of his hoalti since. the affair hod occurred here, Mr. Berg would have inquired into tbe matter. Eistori is engaged to appear at the Tacon Theatre; Havana, next December.

Since Tilton seceded from Orthodoxy and went over to those perilous people tho Liberal Christians, there has come upon him "the blackness of darkness," and he discourses of it in this week's Independent. In Mb case the blackness of darkness" is the social evil." Not long ago Theodore made a tour of tho houses which ore described as "of doubtful reputation" probably because there Ib no doubt at all abont their reputation. Fortunately he took a policeman with him, else the enamored inmates might never have let Theodore come back, which would have been bad for the Independent, and the sweet charities" of which it is the organ, and the old ladies of the Equal Rights Association, and Fred. Douglass, and many other things, as "Figaro" used to say, too humorous to mention." The result of Theodore's observations is that, while he is not In favor of "licensing prostitution," he is in favor of "sanitary regulation." He finds a great difference between the two things. Other people may not Bee much.

It ib impossible to regulate anything, whether Ash peddling, liquor selling, or prostitution, without licensing it or permitting it, which is all the word means. The oxac tion or non exaction of a license fee does not affect the moral quality of tho act of tolerating prostitutiop by imposing sanitary regulation. But we never get the real point of TUton's essay until wo como near tbe close, and reach the perorating Cry aloud, and spare not 1" and Christian men and women everywhere!" So, in tho last few lines of "tho blackness of darkness" leader, we have Theodore's Concentrated philosophy The only remedy for the social evil" is Impartial Suffrage, without distinction of color or box" MtesTNG. Luke V. Murphy, of the corner of Water and Washington streotB, left a horse and wagon in the street, at wo above ploco yesterday afternoon, nnd a half an hour later was missing.

It is sot known whether the horsoBtrayed, or was driven away. TBE HEALTH OF THE CITY. No Cholera 2Vo Signs of lit in tho City New Regulation or the Board of Health Cannot the Streets be Swept? With the heated term of June come the usnal apprehensions in reference to the general health of this city. Diseases of a contagious character arc not now very prevalent. Notwithstanding the dirty condition of our Btreets, from the non fulfillment or their agreements by street cleaning contractors, the general health is much better than year at this lime.

Before June last the cholera had' become quite prominent here, and diarrheal diseases generally were sweeping oif their hundreds monthly. Happily no euch condition of affairs now exists. The air is much purer than it was a year, ago, although there are many contagious poisons in the air. Measles are indulged in largely by children of an enterprising turn of mind, but the disease for the most part assumes a mild form so that doctors occasionally report a patient "ivith the measles, but not sick." This healthy condition of illness is as paradoxical as it is agreeable. Dr.

J. T. Conkling, the Superintendent of the Board of Health for this city, states that a general plaster of dirt covers the streets, but that no very bad pest holes, dangerous to public health, are allowed to exist. He thinks that immediate relief might bo obtained by having the streets swept by machinery just once," so that, if the cholera comes upon us, it may be properly met. To systematize matters, Dr.

J. T. Conkling has issued the following order to the physicians of the city: Office of Assistant Samitaiiy Superintendent 1 Metropolitan, Board of Health, I Court House, Beooklyn, June 0, 1857. Sob: Your attention is called to the following resolution, adopted by the Metropolitan Board of Health, March S8l, 1867: Resolved, That the phrase Contagious Disease," as used in Section 19 of the Health Code, is hereby declared to include the following diseases, viz. Cholera, Yellow Fever, Small Pox, Ship or Typhus, Typhoid and Scarlet Fevers and Measles, Spotted Fever and Diphtheria." Section SO.

That every physician Bhall report to this Board, in writing, every person (and the state of bis or her disease, and his or her ptace of dwelling and name, if known) which bucu physician has prescribed for or attended for or having any contagious disease during any part of the preceding twenty four hours." Physicians, when reporting cases of contagious diseases, are requested to state whether any action on the part of the Board of Health is needed in conscauenco of the condition or surroundings of the patient. Blank reports of Contagious Diseases may be had at this office. Very respectfully, your obed't Bcrv't, J. CosKtrwa, Ass't San. Sup't M.

B. H. The Southern Aid Society Closing Meeting of tho Indies In Charge of the Brooklyn Fund. The managers of the Ladies' Southern Relief Association, held their last meeting of the season, on Monday, June 8d. The organization has merely disbanded until autumn.

An official statement of the funds thus far realized will be famished by the Treasurer. A reference to the Musical and Floral Festival of Thursday last, is but just to those who so kindly and gratuitously furnished the music on the occasion. Prof. Julius Metz was the director of the evening his name alone, for so many years prominent, needs no further comment The concert commenced with a trio from William Tell, sung by Mrs. Goodliffe, Misses Metz and Bingham.

Could the author (Rossini) have been present, he would undoubtedly have been satisfied with the manner in which It was rendered. Mr. Lingard, as is customary, highly pleased the anaience. The ballad "with Quartette, sung by Miss Bingham, was creditable to any artiste. Cavatina from Lucia, by Donizetti; baritone, Mr.

Saltonstall, was sung in a moat spirited manner. Cavatina (Mor cadante) by Miss Briatrice Metz, was faultless the execution being soul stirring and perfect thus demonstating the talent of her great preceptor and father, Prof. Julius Metz. The beautifully selected, and on this occasion, symbolical quartette of Charity, by Bosstnl, sung by Mrs. Qoodilffe, Misses Bingham and Metz, was the last, and one of the most exquisite vocal specimens bf ih'e already well selected programme of the evening.

The Corresponding Secretary has already written a note expressive of the gratitude and appreciation of the managers for Mr. Motz's unbounded kindness and charity, but desire also that the public should be apprised ub wolL Pic Nio of tub Schools of St. Mary's CiroBcn to day. The schools' attached to St. Mary's1 Church of tho Immaculate Conception, in Leonard streit, corner of Rcmsen, E.D., to day wont on then annual pic nic to Hanft's Park, the party comprising upwards of 8,000 persons in all.

The children and lencherB assembled at the church, at an early hour this morning, and at DJtf o'clock marched to the Academy, in Grand street, where they formed in three divisions' tho girls headed by the Assumption Band, the boys led by tbe band connected with the church, and tho little orphans by about twenty young boys of their body with fifes and drums. They marched down Grand Btreet a distance and into 8outb Seventh street, whore they embarked on board the Broadway cars on their way to the grove, with ovcry prospect of spending a happy day's sport..
