To the Honorable Aoard Xtaif Harbor Com. murionen. SoM Frandteo OrartLKXEX: Befer-ing to the specifications for new wharves near the foot of Market street, as published in the newspapers, I notice yon ask for proposals for the construction of but four ferry slips Msy I arik if the four slipgref erred to are la-tended for. the ass of the OakUad and Creek boats of the Central Pacific Railroad Company? While we are at present ronaing but three boats, I feel confident the constantly Increasing business wilt call for the fourth before the end of the year; and as a matter of convenience to the traveling public, and an economical working of the ferry boats, I doubt not yon will see the importance of a concentration of the ferry business of this Company, and the necessity of having the fonr slips together, allowing others to occupy sitch as msy be constructed joining the fourth slip en the north. I ajn, very respectfully, Lf.lasd Stafford.

Quick Disposition of the Held te tne Sttm S15, 000. 0 The preliminary trial of Louis 1 Han son, charged with shooting his wife on Tuesday last, as already stated the columns of the Tribune was held this morning. The Court room was well filled with1 spectators. But Httla evidence was introduced and that; of a character to convict.

No witnesses were present in behalf of the defendant The testimony in regard to the shooting agrees almost substantially1 with the account we gave of the affair on the morning of its occurrence. Mr, flatuon was placed on the stand, and vhite testifying sbetras TisiblT affected. She abated that on the morning of the shooting she was st M.rn. (ileschen when Hanson came in, asked her to go with bira for a bill of di- v-jree; I did so, she said, but we found the lawyer ont: we then took a walk out Broadway; gone from-ittie house about one hour and half; ha said, he would be if a divorce would be granted; he then asked me if he Rkould leave me for three years, at the end of tune if I would live with him attain: I tckt him no. as.

he had disgraced me, and it was impossible for 'me to live with him; he wanted to take a second walk, but I refused: he then asked me for a glass of water, which I gave him; Mrs. Oiesrhen came out and asked htm what he wanted: he then asked her for another drink, when I said, Louie, there's the Byarant help yourself:" 1 then went into the dining-room, when he followed and shot me through the nose; I ran in the yard and fell; said. For God's sake, Louie, kill me, I can't any longer;" I was on ray knees at this time, with my face buried in my hands; he then shut again, the ballet penetrating my neck; he then put the pistol to his breast and attempted Are, hut the. cap only snapped: he then Jaaped overthe-fenee sad disappeared. Mrt.

Officer McKay's testimony concern ins the sr. was exactly as given in our" columns on Tnesdsy. Ofieer Carltton testified that he found a pistol fwhicfa was produced in Court) on Hanson when was brought to the prison: In answer to a question, he said he fired two shots at his Wife, then tried to shoot touit fjatao was not sworn, but made a brief statement, which was so confused, owing to the nervous excitement he was laboring under, that was hardly Intelligible.

It was evident he suffering mental excitement as well, for it hard to make him understand that he was allowed the 1 1 yilege of catet hlzirg hU wife.but questions, being of an irrelevant character, were not entertained by the Court. Hanson stated that the Arst trouble between hintanlf and- wifeemanated through an attempt on tier part to destroy her unborn child, snd ever since that tUSV there has been more or less discord between them. -(The Court ruled ont this portion of his testimony, and told him to confine himself to the shooting.) HanSon continued: On Tuesday about 9 o'clock I went to Mrs. Gieschen's house; my wife; asked her to take a walk; she complied: we went about a couple of miles; she said wanted the money of the proceeds of the sale tne rnrnlture; I refufied, tcaVe I wanted some of it myself; she then said she wanted an exchange of rings. We came back to the house, I asked my wife for a glass of water; Mrs.

Gieschen came out, and said she didn't want scrapes about the house; I sot excited: couldn't help myself; and I didn't know what I did. Hanson said he could have shot her before, as he had bad opportunities. He said he bought the pistol in San Francisoo last week to take his own life. This closed the testimony, and the Court ordered him to appear before the County Court, with bail fixed at $15,000. The imprisonment for an offense of this nature is from one to fourteen years in the State Prison.

MERRITT VS. WILCOX." The Captain Gets the mg Hotel The Doctor Step Down and Oat. Ere this, it is a matter of legal record, that the big suit between Captain Wilcox and Doctor Merritt, over the Grand Central Hotel, has been finally and forever settled. The Captain is now sole proprietor of the institution, including all the dips, spurs and angles, and will probably make a new deal in and around there at an early day. Every well-wisher of Oakland will be glad to hear that the matter has been settled somehow, and that so important an institution as the Grand Central, as respects the cjtys prosperity, will be no longer clodeoH)yiancOnn1ct of owner ship.

The Doctor will doubtless always have the credit of making the hotel so striking so ovef-fowerTng and magniBcenfall things considered, while the Captain will have the satisfaction of runnine it to suit, himself, "however costlyCihe experience heretofore.

He want-ad us to try it on our baby, but not hav-ing one of those inestimable household treasures, we foiled to see the machine rork.

T. Hurll was convicted in the Police Court of selling liquor without a license. An appeal was taken, to the. County Court, wher the case was argued and submitted. Yesterday Judge Nye rendered the following decision: The People vs.

JVai, T. Hurll. This is an appeal from a judgment of the Police tkiurt of the city of 4Hklaa tor the Ttolatloa of an ordi-nance whic jirovides that "all persons who and dispose of any sptrituons, malt or fermented lirpaors or wine in less nnantitiee than one quart, whose proceeds are less than per quarter" shall pay a license of $30 per quarter; and failing to pay, shall be punished. The principal point of argument is that the ordinance is void became the rate of the license Is extortionate, the ordinance was intended to suppress the retail liquor trade and must hsve that effect as to some dealers, and because the city through its legislative department In so doing exceeded ita charter The powers of a municipal corporation are restricted to the grant contained la its eharters. This is elementary law, and so well dad ani-fonnly settled that Its renunciation is sufficient without citation of authorities.

What are the charter powers the city of Oakland? Reference herein is made to the charter and the multitudinous amendments and revisions ss collated In the Oakland Directory for 1874. Sec. 1st, page 310, grants power to suppress certain kinds of business, of which the retail liquor trade is not one: Sec. 6th, -page H. grant to the Council the exclusive right in too manner prescribes by ordinance is issuing and granting of license and of collecting the taa licenses for the benefit of the city upon certain kinds of business, enumerated among which areaU per-sons who may sell and dispose of any malt, spirituous or fermented liquors or wines in less quantities than one quart.

Sec. Aid, page 829, provides: "Licenses shall be discriminating and proportionate to the amount of basiness." It is conceded that the true construction of the Isst section to that the several kinds of business shall be classified; snd the amount of Ueense shall be proportionate to the amount of business done. The charter gives power to license and to fix the amount. But, says the appellant in this case, the amount fixed ia oppression snd prohibitory of the trade licensed. To some extent tha aame may be aaid of any license.

Power1 given the Council to license, the of it-is a matter nnrelv legislative with that body, over Which the Conrta have mtmi Appeiant'a counsel directs the attentlnn ct tM oart to the political hitorr of Oakland during luejwirar, wnai is tnwn as tie Local Option election, and the actum of the Supreme Court theron and that this ordinance ia plainly an attempt by the city government to aceom- piisn id sn indirect way what the Supreme Court have declared unconstitutional. (Vmrta cannot inquire into the motives of the Council. ttut conceding that notice of these facts, they can have neither potency or applicability, as argument here. Cirant that retail liquor licenses were ratoed from $13 to Sou it does not therefore make the ordinance void. Otherwise, auy interference, however slight, with the once established rates of licwisa woiilil er Court to declare such action vrima fade void: in other words, it would transfer the legislative powers of the cify from the Council to the Courts.

If the Council have used their power lnjudieionsly, the remedy is st the polls. The ordiuauce is a legal exercise of charter power, and validL The further point is made that the statement reveals no admission or proof of the existence of the ordinance In question. The point is well taken. An ordinance is not, like a statute, the subject of indicial ognizance without proof. The defendant was therefore illegally convicted.

The judgment is reverseu ana a new trial ordered. Stethen O. Nyk, County Judge. THIRD DISTRICtToURT. Hon.
