gmrcni. A DULL DAY AND EVENING. Coney inland Almost Deserted in Con etne nee of (be Baln Th6 rain and chill of yesterday had a marked effeot upon the' travel to Coney Island, On all the roads leading to the beach the trains ware rua at intervale of half an hour, They carried very few passengers with the exception of an excursion train on the Long Island Railroad. This train, which consisted of eight well filled oars, was Irom Oreenport and Bag Harbor. There were not more than two cars on saoh of the trains of the Brooklyn, Flatbash and Coney Island Ballwsy, the Prospact Park and Coney Island Ballroad and the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Baitroad.

Tho Manhattan Beach trains were also very smsll. There waa littte doing it tho Brighton daring the afternoon. The guests of the houa? remained within doors or on the piazzas and watohed through tho drizzle and mist thn Atniriiv nf tha i nothing behind him. Orville Grant has figured more or less before the country ever since his brother, Ulysses, became a prominent character, but his importance has been wholly due to that of the ex President. Weight has been attached to his utteranoes, because they were supposed to refleot, in.

a degree at least, the views of his greater brother, and hence he has often been searched out by the interviewing reporter. It is but a short time ago that he expressed the opinion to a reporter that if the nomination was forced upon General Grant, he would again accept the Presidency. During the war and later during the time of that Administration of which his brother was the head, he achieved some notoriety by his connection with certain contracts with the Government. He made some money at these times, but as stated above, he has squandered it all in his recent delusions. The development of his insanity is rather a monomania, and is confined to the belief that he is involved in great speculations.

Affairs at the Coiuiity Buildings. Dr. Shaw Holding the Fort ftt the Asylum Dr. Parsons Refused Admittance to the Institution Meeting of the Board of Commissioners Yesterday. The vacation at the County Buildings, if there Has been any, may be said to bare ended yester day.

No meetings of the Commissioners have been held at the Almshouse sinoe July, although there vera one or two held during August, at the Central Office, in Willougbby stroet. At the meeting yesterday only three Commissioners ware present, and there waa no business of importance transacted. Affairs at the Lunatic Asylum continue in about the same condition that they have been aeen Bionday. Dr. Shaw is the de facto Superintendent, and is exer cising the datioa of the poBltion.

On TueBday morning Dr. Parsons left the building about eight o'olook on business connected with tho case, and when be return ed, between' six and seven o'clock in the evening; he found hit way into the building barred by several of the employes, who were scattered about the front poroh and on the steps, and who informed him that he could not enter the building. Dr. Parsons sent for Dr. Shaw, who oame oat and eourteonsly informed him that such was the order of the Commissioners, and it was In accordance with that he obliged to deny him admittance to th Asylcun.

He could not be allowed to set foot in the building. Dr. Parsons' family are BtlU at the Asylum and Mrs. Parsons came out to see her husband, and then he learned that the guards bad been posted during the day waiting for his return. Dr.

Parsons with drew and apent the night elsewhere, and yesterday alternoon again presented himself at the doors ot the Asylum and was DENIED ADMITTANCE. He was accompanied to Flatbuah by his counsel, Mr. Lydoker, who served the order or the Court obtained on Saturday npon such of the Commissioners as had not already received it. About four o'oIoce, Dr. Parsons again presented himself at the Asylum and, as upon the two previous occasions, admittance was denied him, and he did not attempt to toroe an entranoe.

He sent for Dr. Shaw, and oon versed some little time with him, and so far a could be learned. Dr. Par sons intends to present himself at tke Asylum every day until the matter ts settled, and thus as sert his claim to the position of Uedloal Superintendent. Dr.

Shaw said to the Eagle representative that he was sorry to be obliged to deny Dr. Parsons at mlttanoe to the building, but he was acting under the orders ot the Comtnlsuoners, and had no option. Dr. Parsons' family still occupy their rooms In the building, and Dr. Shaw said be did not know when they would remove.

Of course, the ladies and obildren would be allowed to suit their ooq venlenoe as to tha time ot their removal, and he had endeavored throughout to act with professional oourtesy. Mr. Lydeckor saya the Commissioners, aro defying both the Court and the State authority, as represented by Dr. Ordronaux. He claims that Judge Gilbert's order, granted on the 31st, atayed all proceedings looking to the removal of Dr.

Pjrsoos from the position or duties of Medical Superintendent. It is alleged that there were causes at work inside the Asylum to secure Dr. Parsons' removal, and that It was the result of a female intrigue entered into by one of ihe female employes who has Influence outside the building. People familiar with Asylum matters will remember given to Dr. MacDonald, who succeeded Dr.

Groy, as Medlcai Huperlntendent, and whioh resulted in so much annoyance that be was compelled, ont of mere professional dignity, to resign It is said that Dr. Parsons bas given offense to the same persons, and they have been pulling wires to effect his removal through the Commissioners. At the meeting yesterday Com. Bogan moved to hare the pbyelolan reinatated in his district, who was removed not long ago. The duties of the medical officer of tho First and Seoond districts are now performed by one physician, and Cm.

Began objects very seriously. It appears the removal was effected upon the ground of eoonomy, and by the votes of Corns. Midas, Kessell and Storms, who have shown several indications of late of working togother and against Corns. Bogan and Norris. It was Storms, Midas and Kessell who removed Dr.

Parsons. THE MEETINO OF THE BO ABD. The Board was oalled to order by Com. Bogan, who, In the absenoe of Dr. Norris, President ot the Board, took the ohalr.

The other Commissioners present were Coma. Midas and Kessell. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. A obmmunloatlon was reoolved from Patriok Mo Canna, the Chief Engineer, calling attention to he faot that the turnaoes in the building need ed repairing. Received and ordered on tile.

Com. Midas reported that Dr. Shaw, the new Modioal Superintendent of the Insane Asylum, was in full oharge, and matters were progressing smoothly. Com. Bogan called attention to the repairs needed on the oouuty wagon, and on the motion of Com.

Midas the Almsaouss Committee was dl reote 3Jtn have the vehiole repaired at an expense not to oxoeod SO. The following weekly reports of departments were reoeired and ordered on file: WEEKXr BEPOBT3. Almshouse Number or inmates, 928; of whom are employes, boarders, 2 emigrants, and 912 paupers.

Midas the bills for coke were referred to the Finanoe Committee of tha Board ot Supervisors and the others to the Treasurer for payment. Under the head of miscellaneous bUBlness, Com. Bogan took the ohalr and then said he desired to make a report that would to a certain extent seem In the nature of a question of privilege. The report was of the work done in the office of the district. The report wa made up from the books In the office.

Com. Kesaoll said bo did not sea why it could not be printed in the yearly report. Com. Bogan said If be was refused the privilege of the floor he would have the refusal reoorded, and would give it to the publio anyway. He then proceeded to read the report, whioh was In relation to the work daae in his dating the past year.

He said It would give tho public an idea of what had beon done In the offloe, and would show that the oierks in the office were not, as had been alleged, Bineoures. It would also show that the proposal to abolish the district ofSoeB oDUld not be carried out without detriment to the charitable interests of the county. He moved that the report be received and printed in the annual report. Com. Kessell moved that the report be laid over until the other Commissioners present their reports.

If it was pabusbed alone it would seem as though the other district officers were doini; nothing. Com. said he had been at considerable pains and trouble to make up the report, and it contained information that ahould bs made public. He would be glad to see similar detailed reports from all the dis triots. If it was not reoeired ho would consider it, as he had been obliged to oonBider some other things on the part of hia assoofates, as somewhat disoour teous, but he had got used to that.

The report was then laid over until all the other reports were presented.

Ooronsr Siouns bold an Inqaert, Her Side of the Evangeline Contract Story. An Interesting Dip Into the Stago Bail negg that la not Conducted Under the Public Eye. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaqle: Tour edition of Tuesday (September 3) oontalna an article concerning Miss Bills and tbe "Kvangellne" Company which calls for explanatory facts In her behalf.

Believe me, sir, I should not have rushed Into print in tbla matter had not the gallant Colonel Sinn oroed me by his very nngailant and anything but veraolous statements respecting her. The gatlant Colonel says; "I unhesitatingly pronounce tbe suit one of tbe greatest attempts at iraua 1 have encountered in an experience of seventeen years." Let us see bow and whore the fraud exists. Early in this yar, 1678, I was approached by Mr, Bdword Rtoe, of Boston, and proprietor of the "Evangeline" Combination, and asked my lowest! terms for Miss Florence Ellis to play the parts Evangeline or Gabrlot and Medora or Conrad In the opera bouffea of these titles. I gave him my figures, whiolr be said were more ban he oould affordibut he would think the matter over and let me know. Other interviews were bad and an appointment made to hear Miss Eills elng, whioh he did at th Btelnway Hall in New iork.

The result was so satisfaotory to Mr. Edward Rice that we all but concluded an arrangement, only asking me to wait until his return from Boston, as he should not want her until his arrival In New York with tbe Company. Borne time elapsed and Mtnught no more of the matter until I received tele gram.from him to come and aee him in Brooklyn. I did so and he then recapitulated hia offer to me for MIis Ellis (but with considerable modifloatlen as regards' salary). He offered her fifty doUara per week and traveling expenses; to which I said no.

He urged the matter, and pointed out the advantage of his engagement above othera, for the reason that "his seasons never dosed." "That it would be oontlnuoua rom year to year, which would be the earns in point of BBlary as a muoh larger one, where only the usual seasons (of forty weeks) wars signed for. In fact," said he, we may have a vaoation of one or two weeks in the latter end of July, lr It Is very and perhaps not that. You had better take it, and I will do all in my power to advance her Interests." I accepted and signed a oontraot to that effect (which named no limit to the season) but waa understood by me to be pcrmanont. She (Misa Ellis) appeared at the Grand Opera House, New York, aa Evangeline. At the end of the first week in New York I found ont that Mr.

Rioe had not signed the contract I spoke to him about it, and also mentioned that I did not like the idea or my daughter going so far from me as California, to which place he told me he was Be said it would bs ail right, and BK WOULD TAKE THE OBIATEBT GARS 07 HEB. I pressod him to get some one else, but at tha end of tbe second week in New York he sent for me, and some conversation respecting tha journey, money matters, occurred. When I ascertained that tbe theatre to which ho was going was the Grand Opera House, Stn Francisco, I said, "Mr. Bioe, you will make a great mistake in taking, your company there the house Is too large, the voloes and facial expreaalon will bo lost, and I fear your oompany and treasury will suffer by it. What; guarantee have I If you fall that you will bring my daughter home He replied, "I shall not fail, I shall make plenty of money, and even if I don't take a dollar I have one hundred thousand dollars at my back if I want it, don't fear." But I did fear.

I sold, "Your comedy picture is to small for ao large a frame as the Grand Opera a smaller house would be preferable, and I prefer not to let her go." Said he, "You must you have aigned the contract and you have given your word." Then said "my word of course must O'. kept, but there is no contraot remember, you have not signed it." He seized a pen and the contraot, and dashed off his signature. he said, 'It's settled." The young lady want to San Fraaoiaoo and appeared with tbe Company on the opening night. They were received by the public favorably, but no, aa well as the manager and Company anticipated. The presB upon the following day, oondemned the piece and Company, aa falling very short of what waa advertised (with the exception of one or two of the come diaos); in faot, that the munlo waa old to them, as it had been heard in all the variety theatres there.

As Mr. Rice himselr admitted to me, a few weeks ago New York, ho had made a mistake going to the Grand Opera Home, that I was right my prognostication. It he had goDs any of tbe other theatres be believed it would li a a great success. The house was a great barn, and the ploce was lost in it On the Wednesday of the stconil week in "Frisco," Miss Ellis received notioe from Mr. Tarr (stage manager), that she was not to play again until further notice.

Mr. Rice eugauod a lady, Catharine Lewis, to play Evangeline, thinking to strengthen the pirtwith a niasociliae, gutteral voice (and a bad scire h), but did not succeed.as no improvement waa percepuuie in the exchequer. Mr. Rice discharged Miss Lewis, and took reiuge in "the dolicioua voioo and charming aoting" (his own words to mt) of Mlsa Ellis, who opened in Virginia City, in "Medoro." (Miss Lewis, I should hero mention, sued Mr. Rice for breach of oontract and reoovered damages, aud received a oheok which she oouldn't get casned for tSOO.

Whether it has been since cashed I don't know.) At Chicago Miss Clancy ioinod the oompany. At a station tbe morning of arrival in Chicago Mr. Tarr, stage manager, informed Hiss Ellis that she did not play in Chicago (flrst time she beard of it). At the end of the seoond week in Chicago (Friday) Miss Eill was seated at Ihe dinner table at her hotel at half past 7 P. contemplating the dessert and a pleasant eveniag st one ot the theatres, when an apparition appeared in the person of Mr.

Charles Rice, who in a sepulchral roloe but seductive tones implored her sssistance. Miss Clancy waa very sick, and what sbonld they do oould she dress in time For a few minutes oanf asion wasthe order, but a orriage waa at tbe door, and they started with a bundle of costumes all right. A few blocks, another cioatsrnatlon Miss Ellis had foraot teh her wig I Hoavens Medora without her win Like a gallant gentleman Mr. Charles Rlcj dashed after tbe wig, followed by MISS ELLIB' IMPLOBIXQ ORY, "For hssven'e sake don't let out my It was looked up In her room. 8be appeared at the theatre all right and made quite a bit iu the part ahe assumed at a moment's notice.

She finished the week and was then handejl her lioket and back salary, and was sent horns to New York. Now, where Is the fraud The above are faots, whioh I don't think Mr. Edward Rico will have tha effrontery 10 dony. If he does, fortunately I have witnesses to soma of our important conversations, as related above, rtgardlog the inducements hold out to accept the engagement aa specified, and also witnesses wjo were In Ban Francls 00 at tbe time and know ull the of her reception by the publio there and elsewhere. Now where ts the fraud 7 In fact my case is sn fully sustained by positive evldonoj in every particular that my lawyer was ana is still astounded st Mr.

Rice's bold er frontery in having broken the contract. Now, I think THIS GALLANT OOLOMEI SINN had better have hesitated and made some inquiry before ho rashly plunged into the attaok. But perhaps the gallant Colonel thtDks it time to earn his spurs or epaulets. By the wsy, was It a cavalry or fo regiment the Colonel earnei hi title in 7 or perhaps not buying earned it y3t be lUluks this a good opportunity to bold ly meet the foe, in tho person of "a little Hngltsh feiri," Just eighteen yesrs old. But again to fact (as relates the '( is tbe most noprorossioml thing I ever he say the same thing, when arter ongaa(fijf ji pplilfeW for the Olympio Theatre, in New York, he deliberately and without warrant, did "unprofejslonally in the midst of the mosi inclement season of the year and at a time when he know they could not obtain employment, throw them out, and shielded his unprofessional conduct behind tho strooghold of nts luoky Park Theatre in Brooklyn.

But the Colonel does not atop at thla, ho continues to say, and now bdglns patronising in his usual Rrandltoquont atyla, but which I can assure bim Is utterly lost upon the little English girl." He Bays 3he was formerly Known aa Sappho, and while a ohlld nsed to take little burlesque parts. She waa oonsidered quite clever, etc." Now In the first filaoe, be knows as well as that Sappho never played ittle burlesque parts in her life, but at seven years of age always playsd Ihe leading role, which be, the gallant Culmiol kuows and for wbloh he engaged her at a large ealary, at his theatre in Baltimore.

To the Editor of tht Brooklyn Baglt: Constrained by tho love of Christ, with a heart aurcharged by the love of God, and having a desire to hazard my life for the name 01 the Lord Jesus Christ, I propose to start on my own charges to some foreign field of missionary sndearor, either to Mexico, or the Brazils, or some other part of the eartlt to give tbe Gospel to perishing thousands, if it be in oonsonance with tbe will of God, and I believe that this is the way In which He will load me. Tbsre aro no obstacles in my path, or ties to binder me, bnt my two youngest children. It I oan obtain tbe kindly intervention of some thorough Christian woman, who will take oare of my younger obildren and bave them eduoated to be useful to society, trained in the "nurture and admonition ot tbe Lord," 1 shall go ont as soon as practicable, alone, without being a burden to aoy missionary society or expense to any churoh organization, for I know that when tbe Lord sends out His servant! to labor in His vineyard He not only pro toots them but He supplies every urgent necessity of their common nature. If any person, of sal labia meant, will consent to look after my two yonager boys, wnlle I am In a foreign land, they may communioate with me on the subject. I have no idea, however, ol placing them in an orphanage or other laatitutloo.

Brooklun SaoU: Will you have the kindness to announoo in the Eaoli that Mr. Dennis Kearney, tbe California labor agitator. In response to an Invitation tobimby the Greenback Labor Party of Kings 1 County, bas consented to address ths citixons of Brooklyn at a mass meeting to bs held under the suspicsi of the t. 1. mt nrunna.

next Saturday UrUBUUIW uauv' fc a venlng, Septsmbsr 7, at eight o'olook. Besptotfoily yours, P. K. MaCaNV, Pre'den' Central Council of Greenback Labor Party. her first marriage was no marriage.

At once we seo a conflict between the State and Church again. Should the decision be made that the first marriage was valueless, the effect will be to declare the children at once illegitimate. It is not a pleasant reflection for Protestant parents with Catholic partners that a great mass of mankind may be empowered by a decision of this kind to look upon their families as illegitimate and their wedlock as a mero veneering of respaotability upon an unclean relation The very purpose of the Catholic dogma that whom God has joined together man cannot put asunder is intended to defeat just such proceedings as Mrs. Hill has had to separate herself from her husband. The resort to such" a step as the annuling of the first marriage is as much at variance with the teachings of the church itself as with tho civil law.

Judge Potter's masterstroke The troubles in the Fallon and Cohen families seem to have been temporarily settled by an excellent device on the part of Judge Potter, before whom young Fallon demanded his wife on a habeas corpus. It will be remembered that Mrs. Fallon, the minor daughter of Lowenthal Cohen, an Israelite of Baxter street, eloped with Thomas Fallon, who is an Irishman and a good Catholic. The indignant Cohen determined to have the marriage sot aside, if possible, and commenced legal proceedings which ended in nothing. Then a family talk was indulged in, when to the surprise of the Fallons the young bride sided with her father and declared her intention of having the marriage annulled on the ground of force and fraud.

Before promising to become Fallon's wife, she declared she had obtained from him a promise to abandon the Catholic Church, and to embrace Judaism in the abstract, while embracing it in the concrete, as represented by her charming self. Young Fallon was thereupon asked formally whether he would redeem his promise, or leave it, as he would his watch or Spring overcoat, with the Cohen family, to whioh he replied that he would not for million dollars, much less for the possession of his sixteen year old bride. The latter therefore elected to remain with her parents. On tho following Sunday he called to see her, and on taking his departure desired to take his wife also, but she refused. A strange wrongheadedness and perversity have always distinguished Israelites and Christians in their dealings with one another.

Neither party appears to be willing to treat the other with any degree of candor or naturalness, Hence young Fallon insisted that the Cohens had their daughter under restraint, while they insisted that he was a perjurer. However, he appealed to tho law on a Jiabeas carpus and demanded tho production of his wife in court. The usual affidavits were presented, that of Mrs. Fallon distinctly setting forth that she was acting of her own free will. Hero was a deadlock.

The lawyers, whose real interest lay in tho preservation of the status in quo, sparred and fenced and made a great to do over the matter, and insisted on the rights of their clients in a manner that would have done credit to Messrs. Dodson Fogg. In an unlucky moment unlucky that is for both of them Fallon's counsel insisted upon placing tho bone of contention, to wit Mr. Fallon's spare rib, in charge of a court officer, or an hotel keeper. Judge Potter's ingenious mind took a big jump, and with the wisdom of Solomon, combined with the wit of Sheridan thereby placating both Israelite and Irishman ordered that the young couple bo shut up together for an hour alone in his private office.

Now had they been a squabbling pair, with five years of matrimonial experienco between thorn, their seclusion would have resulted in a hope less separation. As it was the contrary effeot was obtained. AU religious scruples vanished, as they ought to have done, and when the door was opened at the expiration of the hour they came out arm in. arm and announced that nothing in the world could separate them. Judge Potter's shrewd Boheme had been entirely successful.

How their theological differences are to bo compromised is not stated. Perhaps they will attend churoh turn and turn about perhaps they will found an eolectic religion in which the ceremonial of the two oreeds will be superbly blended; or perhaps they will discover that the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, and will recognize that. the form and letter is tho very loast part of religion. At all events they are man and wife, and should remain so, compromising all their disagreements as sensible married people always do. That Mr.

Cohen is by no means the stern, unforgiving parent he has been represented to be is clear from the fact that he bundled bride and bridegroom into a cab, with a paternal blessing and a stout leather pocketbook stuffed with greenbacks beside for their honeymoon enjoyment. Far be it from us to say that differences in creed should bo allowed to stand between two hearts aching to beat as one, but young people who have grown up under radically different systems of education will do well to arrange these preliminaries before they get married. Unsuitable unions are not always left for Judges like Potter to harmonize, and even this one was, at one time, in great peril of disruption; Ihe Oar Drivers' Strike. The car drivers upon the Sedond, Third, Fourth and Sixth avenue lines of street railroads and probably of the Belt road, of New York, will strike to day for their former rates of wages. The indications are that thore will be a general stoppage of these lines.

The managers of the roads, before the strike is made, have advertised for experienced hands, and have notified the drivers that any attempt to strike will be m9t with wholesale discharges, for which no reasons will be assigned and no letters of recommendation given. This is the situation at the present writing. It looks now as if the drivers had very much tho beat of the oase. With the powerful competition of the new Rapid Transit, the street railroads cannot afford to be shut off from running long. Tho people of New York are not so dependent np.

on street railroads as they were, and the force of publio sentiment will' not be directed so powerfully against a movement whioh shuts off tho means of transportation by street cars as it was in the past under similar circumstances. Then the people took up the matter as one of selfish interest, without muoh regard to the merits of the dispute between employers and employes. Now they will be rather disposed to look upon the strike as spectators. Corporations are rarely popular with the people and it is more than probable that a great laugh will be raised at the expense of these street railway companies, when it is fully understood that by reason of their own oupidity they find themselves in a position, which, to say the least, is supremely embarrassing. The ordinances of tho City of New York demand that no man shall drive a car unless he has been duly licensed.

The men proposing to strike to day are all licensed men. One of the grievances of the employes is that the company has compelled them to pay the fees for this license out of the pit tanc3 ot A salary paid by the Company. The licenses then to the mon. TiiS 'companies, if they refuge' to aooede to the doV monds of the supply their plaoe with drivers, who must be also licensed men. Tho strikers have but to demand of the city authorities, not that they should reoeive the Assistance of the city in their strike, but that the ordinances should be enforced to put tho jtilroad companies 'in a decidedly unpleasant prvidwament.

They have a right to make the demand, and it is the duty of the authorities to the ordinance. It will not be by any means an easy matter to license a large number" ot new men, and several days will elapse before it oan be done. Thus the oupidity of the companies returns to vex them. They are caught in the trap of their own meanness. Had the companies procured these licenses themsalves from the city, they could have controlled the strike.

The first annual target and picnic excursion of the DeoaBtro Ic Donner Sugar Redoing Company will take place next Saturday at Ridgewooi Park. The Committee In charge are Charles B.

Similar evidences or the high appreciation in which everything pertaining to oducatlonal matiora la held were seen at the oommenaemeat exorcises of the Adelphi Academy, Paoker Institute an others that might be mentioned, end it is, perhaps, not too muoh to say that more lively and wldo spreal interest is taken in tho 8'jbject of education than any other, for the rouoti that It Is sn intimately oonnectod with and forms so much of tbe home life ol every family. The private or soleot schools usually open from odo to three woaka later than the publio aohools. and those paroDts who have not deoided when to send their children will, perhaps, be enabled to make a selection by reading the following notices of the advantages offered by ths schools whioh will shortly opeu Iu tbls city.

it stats Taxation and Unjust State Representation. la commenting on the injustice inflicted tin the taxpayers of Kings in the matter of Plate taxation, and on the manner in which ihe ease of Kings County was recently pre 'tit ed before the State Board of Equalization, cur local contemporary, the Timet, says Mr. Thomas Kto sella obargod that the State Asses fecia, as Republicans, were unduly biased against Kinga That Kings County haa been unjustly treated ve know but that tbli hat boen due to politloal mo ILvos we can scarcely believe. Now, however, that the jvasons of the tnjustioa done to Kings County bate so fully explained to tho Board by Messrs. McDonald, Trualow and Kinsella, lhe will certainly ap si.iar in ihe eyes of the publio some grouudB for Mr.

XiiiBolla'a charges, ahould the injustice fail to be The remarks made by Mr. Thomas Kinsella before the Board at Albany are Biot quite fairly interpretedby our contemporary. Mr. Kinsella did not say that the Hoard of State Assessors, being constituted of threa is "nnduly biased against Kings County," because the ptato Assessors are all Republicans, and, presumably, because the voters of Kings County adhere, by a large majority," to the Democratic party. A very strong intimation to this effect, however, was made by a member of the Board of State Equalization during the discussion at Albany a few days ago.

The member in question charged the Assessors, or some one of them, with being the souroe of articles published in the rural newspapers attacking him the member in question for voting last year to reduce the equalized valuation of New York and Kings counties, and necessitating by that vote an Addition to the valuation of the rural counties. The State official referred to is a Democrat, and he eras last Fall a candidate before the people cf the State. The published articles were intended to injure him with the voters in the interior of the State, because, in the performance of his duty, he was found to favor justice to the two Democratic cities. This is a grave charge. Mr.

Assessor Brlggs, a gentleman of approved integrity and intelligence, ustantly and emphatically denied his re eponsibility for any such discourtesy and unfairness. The associates of Mr. Briggs did not appear to be in a position to follow his example in this matter. Mr. Kinsella made no allusion to party politics beyond what was necessary to justify the Bnnual appearance of the representatives of Kings County before the State Board, asking for a redress of a grievance admitted and complained of by every man of every party pays taxes in Kings County.

There is another place where the representatives of these two cities might secure a redress of the wrong done them in the matter of State taxation. The representatives of these two cities cannot obtain redress in that place, because successive Republican Legislatures have persisted in violating their Constitutional obliga. tions and the oath taken by every man who tas a place, or who has ever had a place in the legislature. New York County and Kings Jounty are inadequately represented in the legislature they are wrongfully deprived if the representation to which they are entitled, and hence these two cities are not able to enforce a redress of admitted wrongs, in the old American fashion, through their elected representatives. For instance, these Iwo cities pay fifty five per oent.

of the total cost of supporting our State government, and yet in the State Senate the two cities have but seven out of thirty two Senators, and in the Lower House, but thirty As eomblymen in a body consisting of one hundred and twenty eight members. In other wordB, the cities pay fifty five per cent, in State taxes, and they secure twenty five per cent, of State representation. No matter how united and energetic the representatives of these cities may bt, they are not numerous enough to defend the rights of the people they represent, against the direct self interest of the representatives of other counties. Unjust taxation almost of necessity follows unjust representation and in unjust taxation false representation finds its strongest bulwark. The Eagle holds that it is a shame and a scandal that the people of this State are not fairly represented in the Legislative body, end it the Eaolb was in a position to deal with Thoma6 Kinsella as it is with any other oitizen of Brooklyn, it would accord him Ligh praise for calling attention to a great political wrong when he had any opportunity of showing, that the adherents of a political party cannot do wrong, to subserve partisan ends, and at the same time escape its consequence as individuals and as citizens.

If our political system were permitted to have full and free play, unequal taxation lould not be persisted in for any considerable ength of time. Take the case before us. It fair to presume that when a community is obliged to pay more money in taxes than it jught to, Bepublicans and Democrats will forget their political differences and stand up for their common interests. If the Democrat chances to have the power to do most toward redressing the wrong, the Republican taxpayer will be very glad to see him exercise it, and vice versa. Suppose that, after the wrong done us last year by the Stato Assessors in trying to add $28,000,000 to our assessed valuation, and in actually adding $23,000,000, a leading Democrat should hove gone to Governor Robinson and laid the facts before him.

Suppose he was able to convince the Executive that, no matter what the governing motive of the State Assessors may have been, they bad dealt with Kings County unjustly. What would be the natural result of such an interview Would it not be a promise on the Governor's part to make a change, and try other men of equal charaotor and without the political embarrassments which must necessarily surround three men belonging to the minority political party of the State, in administering the duties of this office The present State Assessors were appointed as long ago as Governor Dix'a time, and although their terms of office have expired, they have held over ever sinoe, and if the Republicans can keep up the present apportionment fraud, the State Senate may be in the hands of the Republican party for a generation, and the Board of State Assessors because they are Republicans be beyond the reaoh of an aggrieved but powerless majority. It must be evident to our estimable contemporary that our political system in this State is out of gear, nd because it is thought a partisan interest can be subserved by keeping it so. If the Republican voters did their whole duty by this oommunity, of which they form so large and so important a part, they would never vote for a Republican for a State or legislative position until Just representation was secured for themselves and for their fellow citizens. Political frauds would be comparatively Innocuous if they could be confined to one party.

Just as sure as one party does a wrong the other will try to offset it by following the example of its rival The fear in this oase is that the Democratic State officers will be just as chary in challenging the opposition of the rural voters as the Republican State Assessors nay be held to be in provoking it. The Eaui.e has never lent any countenance to the tlioory urged by fools and sustained by kaaves, that the supporters of one political party nre all saints, and thoso of the other all sin mrs, and hence we not only fear that injustice may be done ub in the equalization of the cost of supporting our State government, but that the responsibility will not rest exclusively on either party. The ouly way to secure ft full and permanent remedy for the especial wrongs these cities complain of, is to obtain for their fellow citizens just representation in the State Legislature. That secured, ifr. Truslow will be at liberty to remain at bis post in the Assessors' office, and Mr.

Kinsella at his in his office, and just and equal tvxation will be secured by the elected representatives of our people. Equality representation and equitable taxation will come to stay together, or not at all. Gloomier and more depressing become the bulletins from the plague stricken districts of tho South, and more and moro plaintive the appeals for help. Tho reader must bear in mind that the relief which humanity oalls upon him to furnish is not for one city only, al for a wide aiva of suffering, constantly en join in presenting it. Those who are charitably inclined may send their contributions either directly to the persons named in the above extract, for the relief of the sufferers at Collioraville, or to Mr.

The various benefits to be given in New York will undoubtedly realize a round sum, while that arranged to take place to morrow afternoon, at the Brooklyn Park Theatre, should be well attended, and from present indications will be. IHr. Evarts on the Presidential Issue. Secretary Evarts has been talking at his country seat in Vermont to a Tribune correspondent about the political outlook.

What the Secretary thinks of the American people may be judged by tho following question and answer "What eBsot has the w.ork of the Potler Committee had on Mr. Tilden's ohanoss for renomiuation 1" "I have iver thought that there was any probability of his ronominotion, so I don't know that the Committee has damaged his chanced. To renominate him would be merely an attempt to fight the battle of 1876 over again. The people have had enough of that. They take no intoreet in any effort to revive thosa old issues.

What they want is to plant wheat and corn, KS io make shoos and oalicoea during tho36 four years between the Presidential elections. They refuse to get' exalted over crlea of fraud and efforts to open matters that have been cloied. Some of the polltioians are very busy with agitation of that kind, but the people pay little attention to it." There was a time, we think, when William M. Evarts would have hesitated to say that the theft of the Presidency of the Republic should be treated as a matter of much leas importance than the raising of corn or the making of shoes by the citizens of this country. It is obvious that if just administration by the people and for the people had not seemed of more value to men like Washington and Jefferson and Adams and Franklin than a great deal of corn and a groat many shoes King George would not have had to mourn the lost of the colonies after a protracted and desperate war.

It is, we think, quite certain that the great men who drafted the Constitution, and by patient effort and no little self sacrifice established the Union, would have repelled as an insult to the American character the intimation that the people who had struggled against the rule of Great Britain would submit with lamb like dooility to the rule of fraud that after fighting for the privilege of electing their rulers, they would attach so little importance to It as to permit rascals who made their votes for President of non avail to fatten unrebuked upon the proceeds of the iniquity. Mr. Evarts is, we think, mistaken. If the people of this Republic had not believed that there are principles more precious than any harvest of corn or any consignment of calico, they would hardly have submitted to the terrible strain of the war against secession. A majority of our people thought it better to let the harvests rot than to have free institutions put in peril on this continent, and if we recollect aright Mr.

Evarts was a very conspicuous eulogist of their heroic resolution. The Secretary will admit that the last war and the first one were very senseless affairs if the purpose of the people was to avert violence so that fraud might have free course. It has never been esteemed much of a privilsge for a condemned, man to be allowed to chose whether he would be shot or poisoned. The American people have made it very clear that they will not have liberty shot, but Mr. Evarts thinks they will not object to poisoning.

The difference between tho Mr. Evarts of today and the Mr. Evarts of 1861 lies in the faot that the present Mr. Evarts is the Attorney of the man who fraudulently occupies the chair to which Samuel J. Tildsn was elected, while the Evarts who thought in 1861 that the principles of popular sovereignty were of more value than the flocks on a thousand hills was a gentleman who had no interest in trying to persuade his fellow citizens that their birthright could, with advantage, be exchanged for a mess of pottage.

The explanation of Mr. Evarts expressed belief that the citizens of this Republic are prepared to acquiesce in the ascendency of fraud is to be found in the fact that, like a great many men, he takes oounsel of his desires rather than of his experience. He is very anxious that they should so acquiesce. If they refuse to acquiesce he is a political corpse for he was the foremost legal abettor of the fraud. Upon him dessend ed the duty of finding legal pretexts for the nullification of the popular voice.

He was the attorney of the men who stole the votes of Louisiana and Florida, and likewise the attorney of the man who received and retains the stolen property. Moreover, Mr. Evarts was paid for his unenviable work with one of the stolen offices and he is to day in receipt of its emoluments. Is it not very natural that Mr. Evarts should want the people to forget all about 1876 and go to making shoes or some other profitable industry Unfortunately for Mr.

Evarts, his desires will not control the Amerioan people in this matter. They do appreciate the magnitude of the crime committed in 187C, and they will mete out exemplary justice to all the abettors of the wrong. Every man who assented to the fraud, encouraged it or has openly profited by it, is doomed to disgrace in this country, and of these Mr. William M. Evarts is among the foremost.

Every time he is spoken of as Secretary of State the people are reminded of the price he received for his nefarious services. Coupled with Mr. Evarts' belief that the people have had enough of 1876 and will not mention it again, he very naturally holds to the opinion that Mr. Tilden has no chance for a renomination. It is perfectly true that to renominate Mr.

Tilden would be to fight the battle of 1876 over again," and it is not less true that not to renominate him would be to accept Mr. Evarts' doctrine that a fraudulent Presidential count is a thing of no importance. It is noticeable that there is not a friond of fraud in the country, who does not try to persuade himself that Tilden will not be the Democratic candidate for President, in 1880. The figure of Tilden affects them as the ghost of Bnnquo did Macbeth. They try to persuade themselves that he caunot possibly arise to trouble them again, and while the flattering unction is being laid to their souls, his name putB them into a fever of fear.

The one favor that they ask of the Democratic party is that it will not renominate Samuel J. Tilden. There is not a traitorous Demoorat in the country who, if he will but pledge himself to oppose Tilden, will not bo received with open arms at the White House. Mr. John Kelly is, we are sure, almost as great a favorite with Hayes as Mr.

Evarts is, for Mr. Kellv is etoeeJinffiv in behalf of the anti Tilden movement Nol only does Mr. Kelly and his satellites not want Mr. Tilden any more, but they so far oblige their fraudulent allies as to pour upon his name whatever filth they can rake together. The grand mistake, howover, made by Mr.

Evarts and such good friend? of his as Mr. John Kelly, is in supposing that it lies with any party organization to divert the mind of the American people from the Presidential fraud to shoemaking. It is conceivable that the machinery of the Democratic party might be seized by politicians so dead to honor as to make light of the greatest political crime in American history, at what is not conceivable is that the honest millions who are loyal to Democratic principles would do other than repudiate the action. The insanity and confinement of Mr. Or ville D.

Grant, brother to ex President Grant, is announced this morning. Though it is now made publio for the first time, it appears that his unsettled mental condition has been appreciated for some months by his family and intimate friends. His lunacy did not take on a violent form, but he fancied himself to be engaged in vast and stupendous commercial and speculative enterprises. His last delusion was that millions of bushels of wheat had been consigned to him, and that it was neces sary for him to provide five hundred ships to i move the consignment. In these wild and imaginary ventures he has dissipated all of the accumulations of former years, and enters tho asylum at Morristown, N.

JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS. a Hay Parly of Well Known Fourteenth Warders Enjoyed Them, solves on an Excursion Fun on ttao North Brother Island. The handsome steamer W. H. Wells, gavly decorated with flags and bunting, sped out from the North Seventh etraet Dock at half past eleven o'clock yesterday morning with the jolllost company of excursionists who left the Eastern District, or probably Brooklyn, this season on board.

The occasion was the annual sail and dinner of tho North Side Chowder Club, an orgsnizitlon composed of well known residents of the Fourteenth Ward. Notwithstanding tne lateness of the hour at whioh the start was'made, one man was observed running down toward the dock when the Wells was in the middle of the Btream. Th vessel was headed back to the dock, the man taken on board and the Wells stood out iu the river and proceeded on her way to North Brother Island, the objective point. The festivities ou board began S3 soon iB the boat left the dock. As tha party, which was of coutbo 00m posed exclusively of men, did not number more than forty, there was ample room on the decku for unrestricted enjoyment.

During the trip up the East River Frank's band played almost continually, while many of the boya dancod to the music Many of the voluntary and Involuntary dwellers ou Blaokwell's and Ward's Islands waved their bandker ohlefs and otherwise saluted the excursionists as the Wells sped past the noble institutions. The short sail was enlivened by several vocalists, who contributed muoh to the enjoyment of the oocasion. When tho Island was reaohed, Mrs. Kelly, all wreathed in smiles and rigged ont in holiday attire, stood at the landing and gave the bora a royal welcome. She was dubbed "Governor of the Island," and her husband was aocorded seoond plaoo under the administration.

The boys formed on the dock with Mrs. Kelly and the band at their bead, and marohed aronnd tbe Island before bolting In front of the hostess' hospitable mansion, where ohowder was served. Under tbe direotlon of Mr. Edward Hiffey, who was aeieoted King Gambrlans for the day, a keg of tbe foaming flald was brought from tbe boat to balp wash down tha ohowder. Mrs.

Kelly proved herself a most liberal entertainer. After eating a liberal supply of roast olama also the boys sat on benoh.es near tbe water and watohed the flet of the Empire regatta sail np tbe Sound. Tbe band sainted the fleet as it passed. After another marob around the gronnds It wae proposed, as the weather was oonsldered too unpleasant for out door sports, to take a sail up the Sound after the fleet before dinner. The excursionists were qnlckly on board again and tbe Wells steamod away, When passing Fort Schuyler the three oatamarans of the fleet were literally flying along the water on the home tack, tbe rest of the fleet being away behind.

Tha band sainted tbe boats ss they passed. An acquisition was made to the oompany at the Island in tbe parson of Joe, the Arkansas traveler, who PEEFOEMED ON A FIDDLE WITH ONE STBINO. The waiter was vory attentive to Joe until ho was in just euoa humor that he rasped his fiddle regardless of oonsequenoes. Between the baud and he there was rivalry which afforded the boys InSnlte amusement. To the mnsio of the Addle Alderman Kinna and ex Alderman Boardon, Bernard Doyle and Hu(h Rehill, William H.

Comer and Frank Keen an, John 3. flinch and Felix Doyle danoed "breakdowns" and quadrilles quite lively. The boys even serenaded the oaptaln of the boat with Joa'a one atrlng flddlo. After passing the fleet the Wells turned and headed for tha Island. At Throgg's Neok an exciting inoldent occurred.

It was the capsizing of the yacht Katie, ownad by Mr. Conkllng, of Graanpolnt, and Bailed by William Renter and alxmee. As the Jndge's boat was a long distance off the Wells went to the submirgod sailors' assistance. One of the crew made several nmucoeasfal attempts to catch a line thrown to htm, so when the Wells again got near enough to the oapalzid yacht an exoursionlst, Charles Parott, promptly Jumped overboard, osnght the line, swam to the Kstie and bold on to the rigging until she was towel Into the landing at Fart Sohuyler amid the music of the band and the plaudits Of the boys. It may nnotloned that William Comer and several othera of the oompany were about Jumping overboard to aid tbe crew bnt Parott got ahead of tbem.

Some of the crew were taken on board, while others romsined and righted the Katie, whioh waa sailed down to the Island after the Wells. After again landing at the North Brother dook, a procession was formod, with the baud at the head as usual, and a start was mide for Mrs. Kelly's hotel, where a bounteous dinner was served. As the boys were rather hungry, mine hostess Kelly's roast chicken and duck principally disappeared from the table as If by magic. But she had a supply cooked more than sufficient to satisfy double the nnmber.

Tne dinner (ltogsther was pronognoed an excellent one, and Mrs, Kelly was prbno'anosd an exoellsnT oaFereVeipaolally by the younger portion of the oompany, who thought her fair daughter pretty. William H. Comer, the promoter of the excursion, keener than his rivals, proposed Mrs. Kelly's health, and in a few happy words he extolled her ohsrms, and olosed by saying that she was a veritable island nymph, scarcely surpassed in beauty by her daughter. The timely oompllmont bad the desired effeol, for when an hour later the company was on board the steamer Mrs.

Kelly and her daughter stood on the dock waving their handkerehlefs at the gallant Comer, who ordered the band to strike ap the "Sweet By andBy" as a parting salute. The steamer then Bped on her wa; to th North Strentb street dook, whlob was reaohed at seven o'olook. The dsy's snjoymenr was one which will long bs remembered by thosa who participated in it. There waa bat one excursionist who thought be could Sad a better way or enjoying bimiolf after landing at tbe Island first, and be was Mr. Bjnjamln Bates.

Mr. Bates went ont fishing, and while the boys were going np the Sound ha remained behind and placed bis bat on tbe pole to indicate that he had been nnsuccesstul. He was In the same place the Wells returned, so Bupervivw Tierney dubb3d him "tho lone fisherman" of "Evangeline" The ruling passion was strong indeed with Bates, who oanght a large basket of fish. Before the party separated they vote! Mr. Comer Jolly good fellow for organizing tba exenrsion.

The Board of Elections has to appoint Registers, Inspectors, poll clerks and canvassers for each of the various election districts of the city. There being nearly two hundred election districts in the city, and there being six appointments for each district, it is plain that for a few days the members of the Board have a good deal of patronage to dispose of. Under the law the Board is so constituted as to represent both the great political parties. Until recently it was two thirds Republican and one third Democratic. At present the Democrats are in the majority.

The mode of making the appointments insures a representative to the minority party in each of the districts. In other words the Republicans have one third of the appointments this year and the Democrats two thirds. It is necessary to understand this to appreciate the appeal made by the rival Greenback men for a part of the patronage in question. When the law was drawn there were only two parties recognized. Had there been three or more in existence perhaps the Board of Elections would have been required to divide the patronage between them.

As the matter stands, however, it is clear that the members of the Boardare under no legal obligation to recognize the existence of more than the two great opposing organizations known as Democrats and Republicans. Our friends committed to the Greenback Labor movement will, we assume, consider themselves unfairly treated if they should be denied any share in the management of the coming election, but they may console themselves with the knowledge that the Democrats and the Republicans in watching each other will insure fair play to the voters of the third party. The claim to recognition, however, is made, wo appro hend, less because of any anticipation of irregularity in the counting of the votes than from a not unnatural desire to profit by the financial patronage, which recognition would involve, and this is the weak point in tho Greenback case, for the representatives of that movement cannot, until they have made a bona fide show of strength on election day, say how many voters they represent and, as the patronage if justly distributed must be in the ratio of voting strength, subject to tho limitation that neither of the parties recognized by the law Bhall be deprived of a representative at each of the polling places, it follows that thore is no measure by which to mete out the patronage in question to the new party. The situation is further complicated by the fact, as shown in the Eagle last night, that there are two Greenback parties in Brooklyn. To recognize one rather than the other would, to say the least, be invidious.

Dr. Tullamore Henderson and Patrick McCann, Esq. will, we are confident, admit that the members ofthe Board of Elections may fairly decline to strengthen one wing of the party at the expense of the other, and since they would have to do so if they appointed any Greenback poll clerks, they may with propriety refuse to appoint any. It is true that the Doctor informed us, when the split occurred, that "there were "two third parties now." but there is nothing in the Doctor's style of computation to relieve the Board of Elections of its embarrassment. One third party might be placated, but when a "second" third party puts in an appearance, diplomacy and arithmetic are alike paralyzed.

That there is small hope of a union between these "two third parties," we infer from the report in the Eagle last night of the terms in which the rival leaders spoke of each other. Thus one of Patrick McCann's assistants said that Dr. Tullamore Henderson's side consisted of Socialists purely and simply, and were be ing run by men in the interest of the Inde pendent Democratic movement and for the purpose of breaking up the labor orgauiza tions of Kings County." To this shocking indictment no sharp reply was made by the doctor's side, but we heard from them a few days ago and they denounced the McCann organization as an altogether fraudulant concern. Mrs. Hill's Appeal to Cue Pope.

A question of unusual interest between Church and State, and one whose result will have an extraordinary effect, is still pending in this country, involving, as it has done, the labors of a Papal Commission and the final decree of His Holiness himself. It is a question of such exceeding importance as to become historical, and the details themselves furnish a story for a drama. The question resolves itself into the right of the Catholic Church to override the secular laws of this country, and the manner in which the two authorities are placed in antagonism is worth olose study. Previous to the war of the Rebellion Henry Hill, of New Orleans, was one of the wealthiest planters of the South. His son, James Dick Hill, was educated abroad as thoroughly as unbounded wealth and good intelligence would allow.

His allowance from his father was $150,000 a year, and with this roya income he returned to this country and cut a dazzling figure at Newport. Here he met Louisa Du Saulle, daughter of a wealthy New Orleans merchant, and the belle of the season. Before it was over they were engaged, and in 1859 were married with great magnificence. Young Hill received from his father in law a check for $80,000, whioh he unceremoniously tore up in the old gentleman's face, with a bom bastio remark that he had not bought his (Du Saulle's) daughter. After an extended European tour the young couple went to New Orleans to live, and up to the war spent vast sums of money and were very happy.

Three children were born to them, and everything was very lovely. But the war occurred, as M. Du Saullo ex peoted. The father in law had sagaciously sold everything and returned to France. The son in law heeded his advice not a bit, and was ruined.

At the close of tha war he wa9 reduced to the extremest poverty, whereupon his wife left him and took up her abode with her father in France. In 1874, Mr. Hill remaining offensively poor, his wife began a suit for divorce against him in New York, but the sui, ff djsrnisaad as frivolous. 8ha then took up residence in New Jersey and sued again in that State, with better sueoess. Meanwhile a French nobleman made love to her and won her.

But Mrs. Hill was a Catholic and tije Church naturally refused to recognize the Jersey divor3e, find therefore to sanotion the seoond marriage. Hero 8 dilemma from which she could only extrioate herself by assuming that her marriage with the pauper Protestant was invalid. This substantiated and her children summarily bastardized she could become a Countess and enjoy wealth and luxury once more. Her lawyers appealed to Pope Pius IX.

to set the marriage aside, and he referred the case to Cardinal McCloskey, with instructions to appoint a commission to take testimony. The ceremony was performed, by the way, by the late Archbishop Hughes, who, it is alleged, committed the mistake of marrying the lovers according to the formula used whore both parties are Catholics. Upon this error Mrs. Hill bases her claim to have the marriage declared void. The commission has heard all the testimony and has reached a conclusion, but what it is is not yet made public.

It must be reviewed by the Cardinal first and then by the Pope. The questions involved in this oase are exceedingly grave. In the first place it will be borne In mind that the laws of this State refused to grant Mrs, Hill a divorce, since the allegations against her husband charged him with no greater crime than poverty. The State of New Jersey, to which she appealed, was more generous. WWle we question aui 123, 2.1 ll 717 Total Number of vt arraQU ia baa 70 Com.
