BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES. FRIDAY, JAN. 24, 1873, NBW -liaaurer for the last fiscal' year, L'a very satisfactory 4Bondition.sthe ftraX'IAL. NOTIUBH. FRIDAY BVBNING.JAl and this property is a valuable additlon to the potaeesions ef the Catholio ohuroh la the city ot Brooklyn.

Located at the intersection of Tbroop and MoDonougb OvenueB, it Is surrounded by suitable lots for building purposes. I he ohapel, which is ao auxiliary to the churoh In contemplation. for which the plana have been prepared by Mr. P. Keeley.ia eighty-six foet deep sud forty-two in width, with au outaids porch sixteen by eight feet.

The walla are eighteen feet ia height and are two feet and six inches in thickness. The etoue nsed for its construction is known as tbe "liaak stone." with trimmings of blue snd white graaite. It is ol the Frenoh gotbio order ef architecture. The parish of the churoh of our Lady of Victery was organised abeat four year ago.and embraces. in ita limits almost the whole of the Teaty-flist Ward, with a portion of tha Ninth.

Father Creighton, by praiseworthy forethought, backed by Bishop Loughlin and the Trustees, was fortunate enough to purdhaae, at an early period, tbirty-four iota of ground, when they were comparatively low tn price and now the invest men bids fair to prove a most valuable source, of revenue to his rapidly growing pariah. Bedfore! Arenne Baformed Clinreh. few and far between, and our Regiment oould never be maintained by this olass of members. I was formerly captain of thia company and know tbe diaioulty whioh exists in gettiug members to snlist in it and go to Wiliiams-bargh to drill. Aside from this, with ths eroo-tion of tbe proposed armory, my intention is to organize the tenth company of the regiment ia Greenpoint, and In this idea I have -every assurance ot suocess, the Seventeenth Watd affording a large aud exoellent field.

In onr present quarters it will require great effort to keep tbe Greeupoint Company up to the etaadard.mach lees to think ot recruiting anotber command while, with the proposed Armory, I am sure not less tbau one members would be secured to the Regiment in as many days. Tbe necessity for this Armory was recognized by tbe Inspector-General of the State, who has frequently visited our Regimental Armory, and be recommended the bill to the favorablo consideration of tbe Governor, at the time that it waa signed. I also submit the endorsement of both Gen. Woodward snd Gon. Moaerole, Commanding the Division and Brigade, respectively, to which ws ars attached, urging upon your Board the immediate ereotion of the Armory, which 1 have the honor aUo torequost.

Johnson mutinied this mortgage and gave In cash end bonda of tut Metropolitan Railroad Company in Brooklyn in payment for property. It waa olalaaed by Mr. Kw.cn, that the bono were represented to kirn aa beiru? flood aa Government benda On th wri nfv. Johuaou it waa claimed tiiat the bonda were only put In for their value at tha time, whioh waa aliened to be fifty cents on the dollar. Mr.

Emh brought suit to recovar their par value. The trial which laated wan oaya, newtoa tu a verdict for the defendant. People whopfOpose to accept securities of this kind In exchange for real "property will have to keep their eyes skinned. The time was when auoh a bond issued aa the above waa a bond indeed, because it represented but a fraotion of the true value of the property on ji i. wuiui was a uen.

am an that is paat. Bonds are issued now to any extent in the construction of city railroads, and palmed off upon a credulous community as representing their full face value, when to their utterers it is notorious that they are not worth twenty-five cents on a dollar. It is an age of shams. A man may purchase a piece of furniture, or a carriage. made after the latest and most approved style, but sold for a trifle less than the genuine article, that will fall to pieoes in three weeks.

Truly might such bogus wares and bonds, had they the power of speech, exclaim in the language of honest Iago "I am not what I am." The Caso of Chris. H. I'felfer. It is a sad thing that through the lax our laws the brute of murderous instincts can shoot down an unoffending citizen iu the public streets. It is melancholy to think of a bravet and worthy career being ended in this abrupt manner, cut off from alt its pleasures and its purpose! by one fall exercise of a ruSlau's will.

But saddest and crudest of all is the reflection, that a blow as this must also crush out the happiness and the hope from every innocent heart that fa bound by love and kinship to the We revert to the ease of "this poor murdered man, Charles II. Pfeiferi We cannot give back ber husband to tho lonely widow. No power on earth can restore their father to the four young who are juet now in smiling unconsciousness of their groat loss, bnt who will feef it sorely through the long years of a maturer orphanage. Bui we cau at least blunt the keener edge of their misfortune. We can save this widow and her orphan children from desolating penury.

Jr Vie have already given all the essential par ticulars of the poor man's fate. lie waa an faithful workman. His employer and his fellow-laborers all who knew him, in fact is-with each other in praises of his inoffensive, 6traight-forward character. Ho toiled through rough and smooth for the fifteen dollars a week which he earned as truckman from our neighbor, Mr. John Cassidy.

His wages were soberly and carofully expended for the needs of bis homo and young family. With earnings like these, and so numerous a family, the working man ean make little; if any provision for the future of his children. He lives from week to week, sad on the continuance of his teil hangs the oertainty of their bread. Well, this man, returning homeward after a day of such toil, is sjlaiu in our highways. The wife and children he baa left are utterly penniless nothing but destitution before them, fjach is the case briefly presented.

It la most gratifying to learn that si til 3 good and charitable hearts have already recognised the urgent requirements of this poor family. A sum of $100 waa entrusted to our cotempo-rary, the New Tork Timet, and has been promptly banded to the widow. Another worthy neighbor, Mr. William Goodenough, a resident ot this District, voluntarily collected a lim of $90, auJ ia exerting himself yet further in this charitable work. Good hearts abound among ue, if they oaly see a way to apply their charity aright and the question now is, shall not we also, in whose midst this poor man has lived and toiled for years, i stretch out a kindly helping hand to bis widow and orphans We think there are many among the readers and subscribers of the Bbooklyn Times who will respond.

In a came like this we shall gladly act as the almoner of the public bounty. Any sums that may be sent to our office will be transmitted to the MKicted widow, and as a proof of our sincerity in making the suggestion, we here open the subscription list, which we shall coatinue to publish until closed FOB THS WIDOW AHD OKPHAV9 OF CHi9.

The anchorage proper will be a stone tower 120 feet square, and will be '80 feet bigb. The track for conveying materials from the dock to the site of anchorage will be immediately commenced, after whioh the market building, which now occupies the te be taken, will be torn down and an excavation will be made to the depth of 29 feet. The anchorage will contain 33,000 yards of masonry.

The anchorage will be a miss of Btone 129 by 119 feet at the base and 117 by 101. at the top. The height is 89 feet above the river, it being necessary to carry it up to.tbe grade of" the floor. Each of the four cables will enter the anchor walla at aa elevation of 80 feet above the tide, and will pass tbrongh the masonry at a distance of 20 feet, at which point connection will be formed with the anchor chains. Each chain will have a total length of 429 feet 9 inches, and will form a curve of one quarter of a circle, of ninety degrees.

What with the large requisition npoour florists for weddings, social parties ef various kinds, and funerals, and wnat with) the demands tor plants for domestic eniual-lisliment, there is no kind of business among us with a brighter utuf ehan that of the florist. The expansion of this business is a healthful sign for tie oommunity. Beautiful flowers, like sweet music, exert a softening and refining influence upon the mind.

The two shocking murders that recently occurred in New York, have awakened wide-spread indignation in the public mind. And what is said at every street corner and written for and published in the news-papers, both in correspondence and editorially, shows that there is a general, if not a universal, feeling that our laws for the prevention of crime, if they are imperfect, should at once be amended, but if they are all right, and are imperfectly measures should be promptly taken in every needed form to secure their rigid enforcement.

Yesterday a bill was introduced in the Assembly by Mr. BlumonthaJ, representing one of the districts of New York, making it a misdemeanor to point firearms at any person, and if shooting follows, making it a State prison offence. The law against carrying deadly weapons is defective, in the fact that it does not designate pistols, while it does clearly specify other weapons of attack. The law ought to be amended, in this particular but under any circumstances it seems to us but a limping excuse for tho non-enforoement of the law, that it has this alleged flaw in it. The unmistakable input of the law it the law; and it is one of the special duties of a Judge in ton rulings and excisions to make that intent clear, ttunt juries may havo it distinctly impressed upon their minds, as a shfe and proper guide in rendering their verdicts.

To say, therefore, that the law against the carrying of deadly weapons cau not be enforced against the earning of pistols, the most deadly weapon in existence, because pistols are not specifically named, seems absurd, and this absurdity, in our judgment, can only be removed by presuming that the Legislature that passed the law, was not really in favor of it only enacting it to pacify popular feeling and to put on the air of virtue, bilt with the real purpose of making it weak and defective, aBiie thus preventing its proper execution. Such a construction of the law, however, would seem to be pre cluded, by the fact that it would necessitate the supposition that the Legislature that acted in this way was a mere gathering of cut-throats, who, by their double-dealing, were incapacitated for proper legislative work a view of the case that can not bo en tertained, as it would set aside ail moral purpose and honest intention on the part of our legislators. If the law was enacted before the days of Colt and ere revolvers were invented, then of course its proper construction must be made to cover such deadly weapons as these, because the intent of the law would not be complied with unless pistols were included among prohibited weapons. These points are worth considering, and juit now, if Mr. Blumenthal has devised a bill that roaches the case, and ean get it legally transferred to the Statute book, he will put the order-loving public of this State under lasting obligations to him.

IANDEBS05 VS. BBOOKLf CM0. The trial of this suit terminated last evening in a verdiot for the plaintiff, awarding $500 damages. The circumstances were, that a reporter of' the Union, having, accidentally, overheard a Mr. James in boisterous language assailing Mr.

E. L. Sanderson, a lawyer and citizen of good repute, in front of the Brooklyn Court House, charging him, other things, with improper intimacy wife, proceeded to print the attack in the Union without taking the precaution of hearing the other side of the story. Upon the appearance ot the article Mr. Sanderson waxed wroth, forthwith calling at the offioe of that paper and demanding a public retraction andapology.

The Union did not sufficiently, it appears, to satisfy the wound ed honor of Sanderson, who thereupon sued the psper for libel, claiming $50,000 dam ages. The jury appear to hare thought that such ample reparation for the injury ttfe plaintiff alleges to have sustained as the circumstancos de manded, had not been made by the Union hence their verdict, which, of course, carries costs. The in this ease should have the effect of making the reporters of sidewalk gossip and perhaps their congeners, the interviewers "more careful in future, and should likewise impress upon the parties who are really responsible for what appears in the columns ot a newspaper the necessity of hearing both -aides before Riving currency to reports refljoVtng upon private character. We suspect that this is the true ami! of the verdict, the jury being influent rather by the desire to teach a much needed lesson than to tap the Union' till for, to speak the truth, we think the offender in this case was not influenced by any evil motive in the publication. Under the ciroumstanoes mi have not the heart to reproduce the biting language in which Judge Reynolds, of oounsel of the plaintiff, excoriated the Union and ita venerable, but hot venerated editor.

Its plain signification is that a "jury" has come to mean a party of men carefully selected for the purpose of seeing if they cnn by any means, through some disnlortion of plain phraseology, or by the detection of some trifling oversight on the part of the prosecution, disco ver an avenue of escape for the criminal. In the case of a murder this is compar-tively easy. There is always the insanity plea to fall back upon, but in these excise cases, where the accused, with deliberate intention, and by subterfuge, violated one of the plainest laws upon the statute book of the State, by trading in excisable liquors on Sunday, and were arrested in that very act of violation, we were simple enough to think that even a Brooklyn jury could scarcely fail for once to decide that the law had a legitimate hold upon its violators. There is and can be no doubt as to the meaning and intent of the law.

That it is understood by the parties to whom it is addressed is shown by the homage paid to it by every saloon-keeper in the eity, all of whom darken the windows and close at least the front doors of their saloons during the time prescribed by the law. That the law is violated every Sunday is notorious to everv person in the community ex-oept idiots and jurymen. One of the liquor dealers arrested on Sunday last, one of the most popular, too, among that class of sporting men who pride themselves on being, and advertise themselves as, "Society," was so defiant in his violation of the law and so confident of his ability to violate it with impunity, that he affixed a flaming placard to his store, in full view of the Fifth Precinct Station House, and not twenty yards from the dosk where the Sergeant sitB, inviting vi customers to enter bv the side-door. His confidence in Ox ability of a properly selected jury to defend him from the law dofe not seem to have been misplaced, fofyosterday his representative, the representative of one of the best known and longest established drinking 1m)usrs in the Eastern District, was acquit ted by the jury on the ground that there was no proof offered that the house was licensed! We havo no comment to offer on the case. If our respectable citizons are willing to see wise legislation frustrated andLhe honest efforts of the police to enforce it baffled by Police Justices who rely upon their insignificance to shield them from public censure, and by juries composed of policy dealers and their allies; if ihey are willing to be quietly ignored and to see the laws they make rented with ostentatious contempt, then we Lave ho alternative but to endure the consequences.

But we shall not enduro in eileuce; as in tho past, so in the onrjj voice shall be uplifted louder at each fresh manifestation of the reign of lawlessneis, to remind our citizens of their duty and to ei pose the consequences of its neglect. It is the trifling with one law that leads to the trifling with another. Set aside the law gainst the sale of liquor on Sunday, and why 'should we not set aside the law against the carrying of fire-arms, and why not render null and void all tho laws against theft, robbery and murder, and Ihrow every family and every individual for self-defence and safety back upon his own prowess and strength If in our petty police courts we are to have Justices who can pack juries to shield their friends, what is to prevent the Judges who sit in our higher bourta from resorting to the same dodge for the immunity of the Eitokeuss and the Fosters, who use the pistol, the car hook, the cart rung, or any deadly weapon that comes bandy, and that may be effectually used to dispose of an antagonist The plain faeiis wehave come to a period in our history" when these things must be made an end of, and our authorities and Court officers and pqlice may as well accept the inevitable and govern themselves accordingly. FLOBIf rLTUBE, It is perhaps not generally known among our citizens that have in Brooklyn a very extensive nursery for flowers, inoluding not only the most highly prized and eagerly aouoht for of indigenous species.but a variety of rare and precious exotaos. This garden, Which is owned by The Amari-can Exotio and Botanic Garden locateu near we eastern entrance at Prospect Park.

In a statement made by the aSeoretary of the Company, at'the annual meeting held on Tuesday last, we find some interesting fcU relative to the concern. J. he garden, it appears, is covered tJ 1 5,000 square feet of glass, and one section is heated by 12,000 feet cf hot water pipes, this water being sup. plied from one sat of furnaees by the con- janmption ot one ton of coal per day. The collection of plants is very large and valuable, the estimated worth of some of the camellias being f300 each.

The collection includes 160 axaleaa, 20,000 rosea, 10,000 tarnation pinks, and a large number hi outer pianta in about the same proportion. The object ot the company is to raise and dispose of perfeot flowers so suoceeaful has it been in its opera tions that from 0,000 to 10,000 flowers oan I cut and sold every day daring the eea- on, say rrotn November 1st to April 80th.

Everybody, er at leaat everybody sufficiently interested in tbe matter, said yesterday afternoon, when the snow-clouds began to ompty tbeir pretty nastiness upon tha sidewalk "What a pity I This will spoil the concert But although everybody said so they did not on that account stay at home, but a very large number of brave ladies and their escorts plodded gallantly through the clogging and fast falling snow to tke chapel of Bod-fordiavenue Reformed Churoh. Once inside, the storm was forgotten in one of the most pleasant and entertainments it has been our good foriuuo to attend for a long time.

The niusio was supplied by Conterno's admirable Twenty-third Kegi-meut band and was fully worthy ef tlio reputation of that excellent orchestra. The baud as etationed in the gallery and the body of tho hall was left free for promenading, whioh was freely indulged in by the visitors. There is no church in the Eastern District where a more friendly feeling prevails among the members, and tho conceit last evening was evidently retarded as au excellent opportunity for the cultivation of harmony and the interchange of friendly greetings, in which occupation the pastor. Dr. Porter, set a commendable example.

Ihe mnsio comprehended selections from Mendelssohn, Btraues, Verdi, Donizetti, Meyerbeer and other eminent composers and wa uu-exceptienably rendered tbroagbout. Among the pieces which were received with the greatest favor we may instance Suppe'c overture, "Poet and Peasant," Harold's overture to tbo cavatina frond Verdi, "Nabaccodonazor," with cornet solo, and Par-low's Polka'." The concert, iu spite of the storm outside, was a splendid su 'cess, and a general wieh was expressed for its speedy repetition. During' tbe evening refreshments were served in tbe ante-room of the chapel. The Robert J. Reynolds Concert.

The Apollo rooms, notwithstanding the so-vere snow storm of last night, were crowded with a highly delighted audience, the occasion being tbe complimentary conoert tendered to Mr. Robert J. Reynolds. The artists, by tbeir excellent renditions their several alloted parts, soon dispelled the gloom cast over the audience by the storm raging without, and a hilarious season of song crowned their efforts, the melody rising and ewelling high above bluet of Boreas. The entertainment opened with an overture on the piano by Miss Jennie Dickenson, wIiobo technicality and graceful loach were duly appreciated, and reflected great credit npon her tutor.

Miss Annie liesa sang a solo verv woll, after wbicb Miss M. Bagley rendered ''Ob, How Delightful in excellent time, and suited her actions to the words. The Willianisbargh Glee Clnb followed with some very nice quartettes, among others, "Little Effie's Hoople," by Linden L. Farr. Miss Jennie Dickenson next favored the audience with aa overture, when Mr.

David H. Scott sang "The Bailor Boy," by request, and acquitted himself well. "Mail-lard'e Waiting" was exeoated by Miss Bagley, in a moat artistic manner. This Young lady givee promise to rank amongst tbe rest of our amateur singers, having a clear and well-cnltivated voice. The ponoert was under the immediate direction of David H.

Scott, and be attended to that duty with a nicety of skill that added materially to the success of the concert. Mrs. N. Callan, a very distinguished piauiat, presided at that instrument, and performed tbe duties of accompanist, and added greatly to the efieet of the singing, by ber tjnlliant and flowing harmony.

HlADQUABTEBS FoBTT-aavBliTH RsoniSNT, N. a. S. N. E.

January 3, 1872.) To Soard of Suptrvisgrt of Kingt County GijiTLEMiti At the last session of the Legislature of this State, a bill was passed, providing for an appropriation of ten thousand dollars for tbe erection of an Armory at Green-point for Company of my command. The regiment interested itself to secure this building for ths following reasons That tbe Armory now hired by the County from tbe City of Brooklyn, is rented, aa per minates of your Board, for tbe sum of tiro thousand (2.000) dollars per annum, or at tbe rate of two hundred and fifty (250) dollars per eompany eight companies being all that com-poeed ihe regiment at tbe time of tbe passage of the resolution by your Board. In our present quarters we have but eight company rooms in fact, owing to limited apace, we have been forced to occupy a room in an adjoining building, while in order to meet tbe growing demands ef the Regiment, I bsve been compelled te order two of my companies to drill jointly. ttmce the rental of the present quarters, a new company, designated aa K'f has been mnstered into the State service, and attached to my Regiment, and for this company we have assigned tbe room formerly occupied by tbe Board of Offioers, ths latter occupying the room outside the Armory, which has already been mentioned. Tbe Regiment, as a body, has also inoreased in membership daring tbe past two years te tbe extent of two hundred, snd is now one-third larger than at tbe time we originally oe-pied oar present quarters.

In view of the supposed Chances of the Greenpoint Annorv being bailt we have not aa yet asked for the additional drill room to which tbe new company is eautled by the Military code. We have also been compelled to oocnpy the room formerly in rise by Company for the Headquarters of the Regiment, aad the current business of tbe Staff and Non-Commis-aiened Staff, and of bite this business has increased three-fold, owing to the greater degree of system mtrodooed and hi order that Company I may have a temporary use of the Armory, I bave been compelled to order them todiillin connection with one of tbe other Companies, much against ita success, aad against the beet interests ef the Regiment. If tbe Greenpoist armory is not bailt, I shall be compelled to sak for a room at some point oateide for tbe additional company whioh is now unprovided for tn 4p Regimental armory, or else ssk for an addition to our preaeat quarters, which would involve far greater expense than tbe Greekpoint building, which meets all require aaeata. -) Additional reasons, aeide from the law in the case and tbe actual requirements, which I bave stated, aad the perform an oe of a aimple act of justice to tbe Company, are tkeae i That every member ef Company I ia a resident ef Green-point, and there ia no other eompany in the Second Pivlsion which is leoated aa this, distinctively in one Ward a Ward that is te great extent isolated froaa tbe others of the city. It Blight be said that ths Company is only twenty minutes' ride, by car, tram aa' armory which now affords insufficient aoeona-modatioa for eight companies, and whioh never was Intended for nine; admit it, tbe ThirteeaUe or Twenty-third Regimen te are oaly twenty minntee' ride froaa Wilharaabargh, er the forty-seventh the sans diataaoe froaa Brcoklyn, bat compel them to drill ent of their reepectlve districts, snd for ths National Guars' in Brooklyn would be at a die-ceonti we might find, elocutional enthusiasts Walter Stoops the Bowronville Poet a 1'laglarlst.

Ma. Editor: In last night's issue of the Times, I was surprised to see that your reporter in giving an account of a pleasant weekly entertainment," under the auepices of The an "enterprising literary and social organization of Bowrouville," credited a Mr. 3. Walter Stoops with ths authorship of a humorous autobiography of a cat, in verse of tolerable emoothness and merit," giving four verses ss a sample. It is true the versos have some merit, but it belongs to Jane Tsylor snd not to ths Bowreovllle Poet." Tbey, with number of othrr productions of Jsue Taylor and her eisterp were published in book foim by C.

S. Frsncis A Co. iu 1854, under the title of Original Foenis for infant Minds." Mr. Stoops baS sltered few words here and there, and that ie about tbe only claim to originality he has npon the poem. It the "'enterprising literary and social organization of Bowrouville" can produce nothing to which it can establish a better claim, and exhibits its enterprise only my mangling the productions ot others, with view to pairing them off upon a confiding public as original, the sooner it takes down its sign aud puts up its shutters, tbe better.

Dear Tikes: To the one implied question contained in your paragraph with reference to tbe widening of North Second street, like a true-born Yankee, propose to reply by asking I no others. Does a difference of opinion between the Assessors and the Commissioners necessarily or even remotely, imply an impeachment of the integrity of the latter or of either When the public, fail to follow the recommendations of tho Tihbs in any matter, is it an impeachment of your integrity I J.

The Bullaina Inter-nrine of the E. D. Library Aneoclnlion. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Daily Timet Deab Sib Aa it is evident that considerable agitation of the Question will yet be required, before the laudable scheme of our Library Association will be accomplished. I beg to ask for space in the columns of the Tinas to present a few thoughts on tbe subject.

In the success er failure of this enterprise, the credit of the people of the Eastern District ef Brooklyn is at stake. In the Western District the Mercantile Library building, the Academy of Music, and tbe Art Association building, are accomplished faots, snd we look with admiring upon these monuments of "intelligent iberality and far-eigbted enterprise." When will the men of "Central Brooklyn" awaken from their 'and prove their good sense by taking auoh steps in keeping with' the "spirit of the times" as shall place this District with the Western in the foremost rank of moral progress We see on every hand svidences of material wealth. Mot lees prominent should boNtbs visible proofs of the intellectual wealth ofa psopls who desire "the highest state of prosperity." Every citizen is dirsstly interested in the advancement and growth of the geueral oomma-nity and each one should lend a band in proportion to bis or ber ability, A location has been decided -upon aud lotsuSS been tbst sre partly paid for, on which to erect suitable improvements, and still tbe matter languishes I The writer was among the number wbe favored the selection of suotber site than tbe one finally purchased be deems it both unwise snd unpatriotic for any who have heretofore been interested in thFnnder-taking to withdraw their co-operation and support simply because of disappointment in this respect. Sufficient has been subscribed to completely psy for the new narcliase, aud bare a surplus which, added to the value of the old Library property, will make a handsome nucleus for a building fund, -n, If all subscribers who are in arrears would come forward with tbe amounts of their several subscriptions, (snd sil hesitating or doubtful ones should do this "at once" aa far as they srs able.) tbe full realization of tha most important project now befdre tbe minds of oar citizens, would not be very long delayed and with this important work accomplished none would regret the part they bore in its promotion. Let tbe ball be set in motion sgam, snd nsyer stop until the desired end shall be attained.
