All that iw required of each of us is to do our duty to the people as best we can,” This gives some idea of General Gresham’s character. He is not a great man and is apt to bo imixulsive and outspoken at the wrong time, but ho means to do what is right, and con- Boqnoutly some of the “profeHsioual reformers” and “machine politicians” who pursue the calling of office seeking under different masks are beginning to curse him aud threaten all sorts of vengeance. AT KI8S1MEE. Wlien President ArthuTwas down in Florida ho.went fishing on Lake Eissimee, and one of the incUents of that excurpiou he has told with much relish ta several ‘ of his intimuto friends. It appears that the President, Seciretary CUandlev and Private Secretary Phillips were out iu a common boat together, quietly endeavoring to lure the finny tribe to their bait, when an old dug out* was sighted coming down upon them at fuU Kpccd. At first nothing w’as thought of the matter xintil it was as- certaiued that the dug out held two Indian chiefs, who had been to town and were on their way home, loaded with fii-e water. The pen of the historian hasuH touched it yet, b u t it is my solemn duty to record that “Billeo” Chandler, of the “ Navee,” arose in the stem of tho boat and threatened to shoot the savages with his fish rod in case they didnT sheer off. But it woon’t tlie noble red man’s day for sheering, aud on they came full tilt, until they jammed their miserable dug out into the Hide of the aristocratic boat containing the pre cious person of the Chief Magistrate of fifty millions o f . fraeinen, etc., etc. At this point tho “Ruler of tho Navee\ was iu a terrible state of mind.' He felt that he was directly respouhible for the safety of tho President, aud he gave several orders in a hoarse whisper, among which Mr. Phillips says he distinctly recognized: “Cat head your spaxxker booxxi, you lubbers,” together with some more of ou approixriate nature, vigorously orna mented with some “cuss words,” showing that even iu the wilds of Florida the naval hero had not lost his grip on the languago. Finally the PreBldeut inquired what they wanted, aud there were two yells and whoops, a few griints aud several repetitions of “Give *um rum;” I di.slike to p u t it iu print where Mrs. President IlaTcs and husband will sec it, b u t it is a fact that three flasks shone in the momiiig sun and two Indians went home “drunker than ‘biled’ owls,” FEDERAL OFFICES IN ..THE SOUTH. I met a Southern gentleman the other day who Js a- good Democrat, and ho gave me, iu the course of a short conversation, a clearer insight hriq .the. luethods and doiitgs of the carpetbaggerB than I have ever re ceived before. Said he, “ .Take it in Alabama and Mis sissippi, for they are two grand States to illuHtrate my point. There are in both of those States a class of pro fessional politicians who meet regularly every year in conventions and put a ticket iu nomination for the State offices. They kuow that both States arc hoi>e- IcRsly Democratic by thousands of vutes, aud in addition to this they oftentimes ignore the negi'o, whose friend and champion they claim to be, when they ara away from theirown locality. Now what is their object ? I will tell you, and it is simply tliis: These fellows come to us, and call us Bourbons, red shirts, ballot box stuffers, Eu Klux, and anything that happens to come into their minds, and send on to Washington that they are hope lessly beaten by fraud and intimidation, when the truth of the matter is that they couldn’t win unless they i)rac- iiced the same methods that they accuse us of. They don’t care to win the election: their sole object is to be recognized as Republicans, and when a Federal office is to bo filled they come up to WaslxiugCon in exvarms and 3 'dl for a chance at the Government pap. The utter rottenness of the Republican machine iu the South is a dlHgracc to our form of government, and yet it is con tinued j’car after year, with no prospect of relief from this administration to say the least. THE COLORED OFFICE SEEKER. The “ cheekiest” man that comes into Washington ;s the colored ofiice seeker. I say this advisedly, for I know whut I am talking about. Thera is not a day pssees but that some one or more of the Cabinet officers are waited upon by some applicant whose skin betrays the blood that is in him. One day this W'cok Secretary Folger was sitting quietly in his office when his door- keci>er ushered in a cloud of sable brathren, and the leader, a tall darky with a voice like a bassoon, com. menced to read papers and recommendations urging the appointment of one of their race to au important place in tho Treasury Department. After they had in turn given vent to their feelings, the Secretary bluntly told them that that request could not aud would not be gx-anted. This was more than they had bargained for, and then one of the iminbor began to adopt the bulldozing method of procedure, and demanded the appointment as a slight tribute duo tho colored voter from the Republican party. Secretary Folger is a quiet man, slow iu speech aud action, b u t it didn’t take him long to lay down the law to his impertincut callers. Said he ; “ You come here and demand that I shall p ut a colored man iu one nf the most important offices iu tho Treasury Department. My answer is that it shall not be done. Do you know that there are to-tlay more than twice as many of your }>eople in office here, in proportion to the population, than there arc white peo ple? That js a fact J and tho records of the Treasury Department will show it to bo so. I have nothing fur ther to say and no other concln.sion to reach.” The delegation left with the firm impression that the col ored vote will go over to the Democracy before tho next clectio]]. The .Republican managors here say that their party has lived for over a quarter of • century ou tho single i.ssuo of being tho friend of the colored people, aud tho Demo cratic party is taking live issues to present to the peo ple. They say that the colored vote is alnxost entirely massed iu the South, where it cannot be depended upon to carry a smgle State, and the darky orphan is begin- .liingto bc'more of a burden than the party can com fortably Shoulder. The colored brother is not id high.. fa>or just at pi’cseut with the heads of the departments. THE PRESIDENT. I called at ibe 'White House the other day, aud had a chat with the. President. He is looking remarkably well, aud says that he enjoyed his Southern fish ing trip fully a« inucli aa ho expected. One tiling struck me forcibly as I looked nt him, and that is his dress. No man in Wasliiiigtou pays more attention to his personal appeax'aucc than the President. His attire is always faultless—a credit to his own taste and a crowning glory to his tailor. Those side whiskers, which some pictures represent as flowing across his shmildex's, but xvhich iu reality were scaut and thiu, have been trimmed, so that ono needs to take a second look to discover that there is anything aside from his nnistache ornamenting hie face. The carefulness of personal appearance is a jiart of tho President’s nature, and, above all ihlugs, ho hates to have it even remotely hinted that lie i« getting along in years, and that ho has lived faster than a man ought. This is best illustrated by au incident of the campaign of 1880. During the Fall preceding the Presidential election the Bufford Lithograph Company of Bos ton sent to Mr. Garfield aud Mr. Arthur and requested their photographs, with autographs attached. Mr. Garfield at once responded, and a lithograph was made and 'aftenvard sold by the thousand, Mr. Arthur also sent a handsome cab inet' portrait, together ^vith a letter in which ho said that he would conBont to the lithographing of this pic ture, only upon the condition that no copies should bo sold until after they liiul passed his approval. The lith ograph company acceded to his request, and Just there their trouble began. A faithful copy was made and a proof sent to New York. It was returaed disapproved because tliere were too many wrinkles*around the eyes. Tho wrixikles wera taken out xuid another proof sent on. This was likewise disapproved for tho reason that tho eycR did not have exprasslon enough, A large amount of expression was deposited iu the eyes, but still Mr, Arthur was not suited. At last, after a dozen trials the artist succeeded iu making the picture look like a fashion plate, and this so tickled Mr. Arthur’s vanity that ho gave the lithograph a hearty indorsement, al though it was not a faithful likeness by any means. AN OLD RELIC, One of the features of the Post Office Department is the museum of curiosities which has been accumulating for many years. Iu a case is exhibited au ancient coin of the date 356 B. G., and I asked one of the officials if it was an authentic coin. Ho replied “ Oh, yea. You aeo that wliite haired veteran at the desk? Tfrll, howas contemporaneous with the coin, and is williug to vouch for its autheuticlty.” The old adage about office holders that ** Few die and none resign ” apixxrently docs not hold good in the Post Office Department, for seemingly none ever die. T ee , THE BRIDGE BESIEGED. THE lilLBURN HTSTERT* The crowd of applicftuts for passes yester day at the bridge office was so great that the trustees were obliged to call in the services of the i>olice. From an early hour in the day throngs of persons assembled in front of the building and finally broke in a t the gates of the bridge pier, causing considerable trouble before they could bo ejected. Acting President William 0. Kingsley said lest evening to a reporter of the K aglb iSal if the present excitement continued i t was proba ble that the authorities would be obliged to discontinue issujil.g passes altogether. ’j'WENTY-SECOXD WARD DEMOCR.iTS.SS' I n q u e s t o v e r t h e n e n i a l n B o f S i d n e y N« S k n i t h —X e s t i m o n y S h o w i n g t h e P e c u l i a r C i r c u m s t a n c e s S a r r o u n d l n ^ H e r H e a t h * Coroner Cronin, of Hempstead, began an inquest yesterday afternoon on the body of Mrs. Sidney S.

A brief hiotory of the case was given in Thursday’s E agle , and it was stated that the coroner had received information to thoeffcct that Mrs. Smith's death waseansedbycon- vnlsionB brought ou by improper medical treatment. Susplciou fell at once on Mrs. Carman, first because the lady died in her house, and secondly because her repu tation iu that, vicluity was uot of au unquestionable character, Mrs. Carman has never been arrested by order of the Coroner, and although permitted to travel around and consult various lawyers, could not prevail on any memder of the legal fraternity to act os her counsel, She is about 45 years of age, tall and stout and with an Indian cast of countenance.

You w ill. take a last view at the bodies, aud then meet me at tho Coroner’s office in the Court House on IN’edncsday evening next, when the inquest u ill bo held.” Following the Corouer’s injunction tlio members of the Jurj' ixasscd by the head of each ice box, and the features of the suicide -and tho victims were closely scanUBd. Each juror having signed his name to tho official list kept by the Coroner, he was dismissed until \iVeduesday evening. ‘While tho jurors were viewing tho bodies, Mr. Hiram Eetchum, of tho legal firm of Ketchum & Cowan, appeared on behalf of the Macduff brothers, “I have but a plain and simple duty to perform,” said Mr. Keller, “ and I propors to fulfill it; this case will be conducted openly and I propose without inter ruption or Interference.” The counsel bowed himself out, and that was the last that was seeu of him. After the-^ jurors had riewed the bodies they went from''tho house, and the undertaker busied himself in arran^ng the blankets which covered the Ice boxes. At fifst Mr. J. S. Macduff, who by the express desii'e of the deceased took charge of the funer al, intended tor-havo the bodies of his brother and the boy removed to the undertaker’s • establishment, and- have them buried from there, .tq-day. Yesterday ovea- itig, however, he changed his mind and said to the un dertaker: ”I ^ wtU leave them where they are ; that will be the best thing, and I will bury them on Monday; becaitec if I bury them to-morrow there will be too many idle people hanging around the house, aud I waut to avoid that.” “Where do you intend to have them interred?” asked the undertaker. \ ' . “At Woodlawn Cemetery, where my plot is,” was the reply. The funeral of the father and son has therefore been fixed for to-morrow afternoon. The mother and brothera of Mrs. Macduff made an attempt to got poKsessiou of the body of the boy, but the Coroner, in view of the fact that the deceased mentioned how he desired tho corpse to be disposed of, allowed the Macduffs to have It, Some of the neighbors heard of the desire upon tho part of the Vintens to get possessiou of the child’s body, and every one of them favored the idea. There w*as not asiuglosympathizer for Macduff, but all bod a kind word for the wife and child. th e TRUE REASONS FOR THE CRIME ■ were never given truthfully until last evening, when . Mr. John S. Macduff, of 77 Bleecker street, New York, made a statement of the facta to the * Coroner. The membew of the dead .woman’s family, the Vintens, w'oro scimpulously quiet about the matter,'and in one or two iustauces one of the.dcod woman’s brother.? denied th e . facts, of which ho was fully cognizant. Mr Maednlf^ jxist mentioDOd, therefore nxado'a formal siatetxxaixt. yes terday afternoon, of which the following is a fair and clear synopsis; “ My brother Will had been married to this woman abovit eight or nine years—so I should judge, if my recollection serves me right—and- from a very short period of time after she beoauic hiu wife there has been trouble. She was jealous of him. It has been stated in some of the newspapers that he was jealous of her. I liaxxixeu to kuow that it was just the reverse.” “Did he complain to you about it? ” the reporter in quired, “He frequently told me of his difficulties with hia wife and asked my advice, and in tho matter of giving that I was extremely careful.” “Do you think, then, that Mrs. Macduff’s jealousy led to this?” “Not her jealousy altogether, b u t that was the cause of tlie whole trouble iu reality. She had a very violent temper—as her own family even will admit—and she would rage aud storm if the slightest thing ruffied her feelings.” “ Was ^I»':rc any open rupture between your brother and his wife ? ” “ Why, yes; he left her on one occasion, and he never would havo nxade up with her again either, only ou account of the boy. He was very fond of the cluld and could uot bear the idea of being separated from him.” “ When was it that the pair Ixad this Bejiaration ?” “About six montlis ago,!’ “And how did it come about?” “Well, for the last year or more they had both been talking of a separation^ b u t, as I intimated to you, the boy w'as the link that held them together. About six months ago my brother Will left his wife, and he went away from her with the understanding that they were to separate. 8he w’cut to her mother’s liouse in Hobo ken, aud he went to a New York hotel. She had the boy with her. He was always afraid that by some means she would get the custody of the boy so that he could not see him. I am satisfied that if he had the boy himself, and could have kept him legally, he. would have left his wife long ago, and this frightful occur rence would uot have happened.” “ How long was your brother separated at the time you speak of 7 ” “ Oh, a very short time—perhaps a week ; the rooms where they lived had uot been given up.” “ And how did they come together ? ” “ Why, the child was tho hicans. Both he and his wife were fond of the boy, and both were equally afraid that the other would get possesfilon of it.” “ Then, after they did come together, they again lived unhappily ? ” “ They did, just as this terrible event only too clearly proves. You see, sho wa.s exceedingly jealous, and my brother’s business would eonictimcs take him out of town, so that he would be away for a night; then when he raturned she would accuse him of having Bx>ent his time with other women. He has told mo th.at even if he was an hour late of the time he promiRo<l to be home she would accuse him of being with some girl, aud make the rest of the evening unhappy for him. She used to be nagging him all tho time, and ho got ill tempered sometimes in cousequeuce.” “Did you have any idea that ho would commit the act that he did?” “No, sir, but I thought that he might bo foolish enough to strike her, or something of that kind, aud . get hims6lf In tvoublG.” - - - \ “ When did you see your brother last ?” “Well, that was when he separated from his wife for the last tim e; that was last Tuesday. On that day he came to my house iu Bleecker street. New York, with bis trunk, ami said he had left his wife again, and had told her he was going to stsy away. That day he and I were together, and we went to the Metropolitan Hotel, had dinner and played billiards, and at night we went to the theater. Again ou Wednesday we were together and dined with each other.’ ’ “Did your brother have anything to say during this time about his trouble with his wife?” “ We had little to say about it because he was married and I did uot want to excite him. 'IVlien ho came over on Tuesday he told me that he had left hia wife and seemed somewhet nervous and bothered.” “ He did not say that he was going back to her ?” “ No, sir.” “ Then he must have left you to come back to Brook lyn 7” “ Iw ill tell you how that^was: On Thursday he spoke to me about the matter, and from his conversa tion, I judged him to be very angry a t his wife’s con duct, and told him not to go back to her for fear of doing something rash. When I told him that I thought that he might strike her, I never dreamed that it would come to this, nor did ho by his manner or speech lead me to suspect anything of the kind. He spoke of his boy and said he could not live without him, and I ad vised him uot to go near his wife. Ho left mo that Thursday afternoon about 5 o’clock; that was the last I saw of him alive. He went from my place in Bleecker street. I have since learned that at half past seven that evening he was at a barber shop in BIcocker street near my place, and that is the last I^know of him.” . MADE OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH. “ Mr. Macduff, how was your brother’s financial con- diUon?” “ I t was not good.” “ Is it time that Ixe owed a man namod Higgins, in Fulton street, $400, a u d io s about to be sued for tho amount ?” “ No, sir, it is not. I saw a statement to that effect published, and it is made out of whole cloth. My bro- ther owed no ono any money, except myself, and I havo been letting him have from $100 to $125 and $130 a month.” “ His business, then, did not support him ?” “It did not, and not because of a lack of capital, as some people have intimated, b n t on account of a lack of ability. The plain truth is that my brother was not fitted for the business and would never have mado a success at it.” This statement of Mr. John S. Macdnff was mado in tlio presence of 3Ir. James B. Macduff, who assented to •every word of It. The Vihteh family still assert that Mr. Macduff (the dead man) was solely to blame, and that he ill treated his wife. They claim that when she left him it was solely upon the ground of his harsh conduct toward her. Tlie statement made by Mr. John 8. JIacduff, however, is believed by the police, esixecial- ly in the knowledge of the fact that Mrs. Macduff’s rela tives wcj’e so reticent os to be almost surly, aud it seems to be so far the only I’casojiable explanation of the ter rible domestic tragedy. The dead man was encompassed by domestic and business, troubles, and iu a desperate moment resolved to rid himself of both a t once. A L argo Number of Distinguished Guests—Speak er Chapin and ex-Mayor Grace F lanking Presi dent SlUlman—How the Time was Passed—The Successful Termination o f a Series of Pleasant Events. The Brooklyn Club gave its e ighth m o n thly reception last night, and, like those which preceded it, it proved a most p le^aut affair. Each member has the privilege of inviting a friend on these occm I ods ,'and the'rcsulYis that nniuy strauge faces are seen amofig the guests. The v^fore begau to assemble early in the evening, and till midnight all was life and animation in •the’fine’ejub. rooms corner Clinton and Pierirepont streets. Full dress suits were the prevailing style, and it would be difficult to collect a finer looking or better dressed body of representative citizens than met iu delightful social intercourse last night: In the.main reception room, on the first floor. Professor Conterno and the choice members of hia. orchestra discoursed sweet music, and here Mr. Benjamin D. Billiman, the President of the Club received the guests. The billiard rooms and card rooms, on the second floor, were crowded, and social little parties betook thomselvcs occasionally to the basement. In this manner the Nisltors, who numbered about 125, were pleasantly distributed over tho spacious and admirably arranged club house. There was no set pro gramme, and an ’ entire absence of chilling formality W'as one of the most charming features of the reception. That the club is in the full tide of prosperity aud flour ishing like a green bay tree was abundantly manifested. To strangera a warm and hearty greeting was extended, and all soon found themselves at home. The custom of tlie club ! h to invite a few distiugulshed guests to these monthly gathciiugs, and last mouth General Grant was the spticiol guest. Last evening it was expected that Governor Cleveland would b© present, b u t Jio found it impossible to come to the city. Au invitation had also been sent to Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, but a telegram was received from him at 8 o’clock expressing his regret ’ at not being-able to attend. For a couple of hours the visitors exchanged pleasant greetings in the parlors, played pool-aud billiai'ds, indulged in lively whist par ties, aud when it was drawing on toward 10 o’clock were all inra fit and proper frame of mind and body to do FULL JUSTICE TO THE COLD COLLATION, juost-invitingly, sprea^l in-thc dining rooms.

There w'oro marvels of delicacies on the well supplied tables, and the supper was pronounced a magnificent success. Mr. Silliman prasided, and was flanked on his right aud left by Speaker Chapin and ex-Mayor W. B. Grace, of New York, rc8i)ectively. Three tables were 6X>read in the main dining room and one in the smaller one, and altogether there were about 125 guests seated around them. An hour or more was spent at supper, and the guests arose without having to listen to the usual after dinner speeches, this rule being adopted unless in the presence of some specially prominent gcuflomau. There was, however, the usual flow of wit and humor, aud morriraent and good feeling were unchcckt.'d. All shades of politics were represented, but if any discussions which might draw out exj)res8ions of political difference were In dulged in, they were uot heard beyond the immediate circle of participants. Profes.sor Conterno continued to supply choice selections of music during the evening, aud toward midnight the guests began to withdraw. Among tho visitors were- Speaker Chapin, ex-Jfayor W. K. Grace, Commodore Upshur, ex-Governor Stewart L, Woodford, H. E. Pierrepout, Judge Pratt, Hon. W. W. Goodrich, Judge Cnllcn, Judge Moore, Daniel Barnett, H, D. Polhemus, General Molaneux, Dr. J. G.

A Ijocal Speciiuen of the IVohle Band Arrai^iied before Justice Ttlassey* “ Aw—good morning, Judge, I am bo glud to see you back again from Albany. You aro looking decidedly welL I—ah—hope you did not suffer from being in such rough society os ie found in our modern legislatures.” His Honor looked surprised. The speaker was an odd looking chap. Ho was dressed in trowsers that were 80 tight that it appeared an though they would snap in two like a clay pipe stem, if ho were to lose bis equilibrium or attempt to bend his knees. Hts coat was a nobby cut away. From hia vest dangled a charm, which 08 evenly divided his watch chain as the part wldch separated his hair, which was banged iu a style that would havo set a society belle crazy with envy. His shoes wore in two colors like a prizo fancy cake. His tile was an opera hat of the latest style. “\Hiat is this ?” queried the magistrate, when he bod recovered sufttcientljr' from his surprise. “ \S*hy, this is a real, live dude,” said Court Officer Uncle William Applegate, whose wide experience in the field of human natura has enabled him to classify the genua homo without the slightest difficulty. A broad smile illuminated his Honor’s face as he com prehended the eondcal tailor’s dummy that confronted him. With a mock air of gravity ho said: “I really did not suffer in the slightest degree. I rather enjoyed the excitemeut; aud, as a matter of fact, these legislators are not by any means as block as they are painted. In fact many of them arc jolly good fellows and perfect gentlemen.” ‘^Aw—you don’t wcally mean it ?” interrupted the fashion plato. “I—aw—am suro'thoy are cads—wcally cads,” “Oh, by no means,” said tho Justice; “ you have a mistaken idea. But, by the way, what can I do for you this morning?” “You can—aw—relieve me from the.custody of this wretch who bas had the presumption to deprive me of my—aw—liberty,” said the apology for a man, pointing at a brawny policeman, who was a fine development of mauliood compared with tho individual whom he had iu custody. A snicker was heard from the court jester, Interpre ter Kramer, as this speech was delivered, and he broke forth : “Oh, Oscar, deah I What s wetched predicament for such an esthetic flower of a boy to bo in. Does he want his mama to look sftah him ?” A roar of laughter at the dude’s expense swept over the court room like a Western blizzard and it was some momenta before older was restored. The magistrate inquired the cause of hie arrest. Tho officer said bo had evidently been to a reception and had indulged in too much wine. He had found him wandering along in a languid state, and when he had spoken to him to ascertain where he was going, ho put on 80 many French airs that he bad concluded to give him the benefit of a night’s rest in a cell. “ Ya-a.s, the howid beeat, locked me in a nausty cell,” interrupted tho dude, “1-aw-shall make him pay deahly faw it.” “ Ob, you will,” said his honor. “ Indeed I shall,” was the response. “ Well there is nothing like having a good cose when you arc suing for damages,” saJd the magistrate, “ and so I shall send you to jail for fivo days. Besides 1 think yon will afford the other prisonorg considerable amusement to relieve them of the tedium of their re straint, which is very graat, the law as yet failing to provide them proper work to oocupy their time and make them self supporting.” “ Aw—you wcally don’t mean it,” said the young man, piteously. “ Oh yes he does,” said Court Officer Sbanghnessr in a deep voice that rescmb;cd the murmuring of distant thunder, as ho took the dainty sx)eclmen of humanity by the shoulder and hustled him off to the pen, where he sought refuge in a distant comer to avoid the con taminating effects of companionship with tho old rounders, who were making the most of their time, waiting for the van, by sleeping off the effects of their previous night’s spree upon the benches in the room.

On Tuesday night Mr. O’Connor Ppwer made au cloquont speech, iu wliich he plac(*d before the House a coherent system for the removal of the chronic distresB prevailing in somo congested parts of Ireland. Of course, tho schomo was not accei)ted, it being a way we have to reject all Iriali proposals, and without examination to place them iu the category of Irish hulls. Migration withiu the limits of Ireland, instead of craigratiun to a distance of 3,000 miles, has a certain fascination for w'oakmindod lovors of homo, and for thi.s reoxvon the schemo is duly denounced in tho columns of the lYmes, that organ of landlordism laying it dowu as a general principle, “ when found to be njado a note of,’ that tho very best tiling which must bethought of la to suffer tho Irish people to live a t home in tholr own country. Certainly, it is bettor to live athomo than to starve or even to go to the workho\isc, and with tUe&e three courses before him what more can the discontent ed Irish peasant want ? There happens to be plenty of waste land in Irclai d which will pay for cultivation, as Mr. lifitchell Henry’s experiment haa sufficiently proved; but after all, sheep are a more ducUo class of tenants than Irishmen, and a ready outlet for any surplus pop ulation of quatlriipeds is always prorfded by the butch er’s knife; while the application of this keen remedy to a human surplus has not been seriously proposed aince the time of Dean Swift. The worst of it is that these EMIGRANTS TO AMERICA take with them across the sea a burning memory of wrong which all the waves of tho Atlantic seem insuffi cient to quench, and with every batch of them that ar rives at New York tliere ia a fresh creation of subscrib- era to O’Donovan Rossa’s fund for paying off old scores by tho new aud very unpleasant method of dynamiting all obnoxious Britishers. An ordinary emigrant is bound, to his old homo by the tie of affection, but a starved out emigrant ret&ins another link, aud it is that of revenge. The Tinics^ however, ought to kuow best, as it is the supposed leader of English opinion, and the Th'mcs con- domufl the scheme * of migration as impracticable and fantastic, to say the least of it. Indeed, It w'ould prob ably have used stronger language of dcuunciatiou, if it had uot carefully k ^ p iug its more violent assort- nieijt of epithets for,-Mr; Healy’s bill, which actually propofiOB to establish elective county boards lu Ireland, and in future to give the people who pay the county rates Some control over the way in which their own money is 8i>ent. No way could be devised, as Mr, Trev elyan truly remarked, by which they could havo Icsa control than they have under the present system, and one might have imagined that, this being admitted to be the cose, the government would not have opi > obca 1 the bill on its second reading, whatever modifications they mighthave insisted on in committee. But THE WATS OP GOVERNMENTS are inscrutable and past finding out, and after every speaker on both sides of the House had shown the most remarkable unanimity in disapproval of the present grand jury system in Irelaud, Mr. Travelyan rose to ward the close of the debate and explained to all and sundry that the Government could not possibly accept such an Important bUl at the hands of a private mem ber, and thus it comes to this, that they feel themselves compelled to vote against a measure of reform for the very reason that its urgency and importance aro admit ted by all. This may bo logical, but it is certain ly ludicrous, and it might properly be proposed as a corroUary to such an unsatisfactory conclusion that the House should have another Autumn session which it might devote to the reform of Irish Grand Juries, and in which it would have the assistance of Mr. Healy at its deliberations, since that gentleman will bo released from prison somewhere about the time of har vest. There seems to l>e ample room for thefeform of Irish county juris<liction even outside the queaticn of the control of finance. For instance, the fact that two inspectors of lunatic asylums duly make their annual inspection, and then present a report of it to themselves, and taae whatever $ction upon it they may think fit, is ono which is not well calculated to insure the p rop^ treatment of the unfortunate Irish lunatics. To the clause which would provide for the reform of this ridiculous arrangemeut, Colonel King Harman, who last night moved the rejection of the bill, could find no at^tm ent in opposition, but when argu ment is at fault ridicule is useful, so he suggested that the reform of lunatic asylums by Home Rulers would bo an application of the homeopathic principle eimilia simiUahus curantnr—like is cured by like. The lunacy of those people, however, who prefer to post pone reform until they provoke revolution is perhaps more apparent than that of the refomiere who endeavor to remove the cause of the trouble. Meanwhile, wo cling as a nation to our good old plan of bullying Ire land when she is disturl:^, and neglecting her when •he is orderly and at peace. J. L. J otneb , ' BRIEF LONG ISLA.VD NEWS.

A conference was h e ld iM t evening in the parlors of the Young Meu’s Christian Association building, with a view to the Veorganizailon of tho' Citizens’ Leagtie, of Brooklyn. The object of the League was to suppress the sale of liquors to miuors and to enforce the law making it a misdemeanor to admit any minor uuder the age of 14 to a place where intoxicating liquors are sold, or to dance houses and concert saloons, or to pennit them to remain thei'e, unless accompanied by parent or guardian, or to suffer any child under IG to play any game of chance in any place where, or adjacent to which, beer, ale, liquor or wiue is sold. It is understood that the present design is to enforce all the laws restraining the sale of llq u o ^ Among those attending the cor'orence were Mr. F. F. Elmendorf, president of the National Law and Order League aud of the Law and Oixler League of the City of Chicago; Mr. L. IMwin Dudley, secretary of tho Massa- chtisctts liCague; Mr, Yellowsleo, Mr. J. L. Wilkie, Rev. W. F Crofts, Mr. J. L. Mitchell, Mr. E. P. Ide, Uov. Dr. Hutchins and others. Mr. Elmendorf said that in Chicago five yeara ago there were 30,000 child patrons of saloons, The Tx’ague had enforced the law and now there were uot 3,000. To an inquiry Mr. Eimondorf said the children were of both sexes^ under 21 years of age. The boys could get their glass of boer and a free luncli for five cents. At first it was uphill work, b u t now tlic officers of the League received information from justices and the public, from fotliers and mothers and from wives in cases where liquor was sold to their intoxicated hus bands ; for latterly the League. had >sought to enforce the whole law. The League had closed three or Aour hntulred bu I ouuh in Chicago, and publlb opinion was on their side. Even the saloon keei)crH had passed w rcso- lulion that no person sbouid be a member of their Union who sold drirjk to a.minor or a dninkard. Since tho League began its operations Chicago had increased iir population 200,000, and yet thero were fewer arrests tor rtruDkenness now than ?n 7877. Tho Illinois State League had been formed in forty,towns, and there wora leagues in Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Massa- ohUfiotts. Rev. Mr. Crofts explained at length tl-.c object of the conference, namely, to stir up proper public feeling ami reorganize the Citizens’ League of Brooklyn on a finn basis. >Ir.

The attendance of members was large and Mr. Rooney, who took a promi nent part iu the Quaker City deliberations waa lisioued to with attention and repeatedly applauded. He s&id: THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION. ' Tho convention of the Irish National Land League, which was held in Horticultural Hall, in the City oi Philadelphia, on tho 25tb Inst, in accotdance with the call of the officers of the League, transacted its busi ness with decorum aud dispatch, it adjourned to meet in coDVcuiiou on the fullowing morning with the rep resentatives of tho various Irish organizations through out the United States and Canada, to take into conrid- eration the forinatiou of a uatiuual league on a platform . upoii'Which every patrintio Irishman aud the descehd- atils of o u r race throughout the length and breadth o f . this Continent could join hands and unfto our people as . ; they were never bcfbrelnuitcd, and to takeintoconsidbro- tlon the best means to reudcrassistaiice to our people in Ireland.

It exce^cd in numbers and equaled i.n patriotism the rapresentatives of the colonies, who met iu 177C iu the same City of Philadelphia. No place more appropriate tlian the historic City of Philadelphia could liavo been chosen in which to hold this meeting of patriotn, ossembU'd to devise and con sider the best methods fur rellcviug their lung suffering countrymen from the cnicl WTongs aud oppres.Hloni under which they have groaned. Such cruelties and persecutions would well nigh, if not altogether, have exterminated auy other race in Europe. Parnell, the illustrious leader of the Land League, and his co-labor ers, have scemiugly exhausted all tho means which their great talents could dcNdse in obtaining by peaceful methods Justice to our people in Ireland, aud how have they been met by the English government? Slandered by the English pres.<i, reviled by the English ] • )ple, tried and imprisoned by her hirelings, ths Land League suppressed and the prisons filled with its members, the people by thousand:* evicted from their homes and frtcuds, they have been starved in the mountain fastnesses or comiwUed to support a wretch ed existence ou fifeawml, their only reeowree being the poorliouse or exile. 'J'hcy have been subjected to the vilest calumny and published to the world as asKassius, incondiarleH, communiRtH and every other epithet which deep seated hatred and scoru cotild invent to stigma tize and blacken tho name of a brave people, whese only offense is that they dare to protest against the cruelty of their taskmasters and stretch forfh their, hands for that liberty ttud froedom, tho lovo of which Qod has implanted in every human breast. [Applause.] While she has not for many years come in direct con flict W'ith us since, and our armies have not o])poscd hers, she has lent a very' willing though selfish aid to those with W'bom wo were at war, permitting vcsaels of war to be bulH and equipped in Euylish ports with English money and mauued by English soaiueu to prey upon our coiimierae and sweep from the ocean our mer cantile mariiio. Those who represented our opponents at that time were received in her cordial embrace, while the reproscutotives and exponents of the Union were Blightiugly treated and coldly received. Aud yet not withstanding tins record she with a sublimity of impu dence and Insolcnco which only the English govern ment is capable of now beseeches am] entreats our Government to act an her special police to arrest and imprison men filled with flie ardor of patriotism aud love of their native land, and -prevent them from at- iemptiug (o help their countrymen nt homo in their efforts to obtain that which this country asserts to bo the inalienable right of all maukind-;rthe riglit of self government. [Applause.] Her iiisolence is the more glaring from the fact that the Euglish capital is and has for years l>ecn the common romlczvous for all the conspirators aud assassins of Euroiie, and she ha.s stoutly ivfxiseil to Mirrcndcr or interfere with them in their work wlten called upon so to do by tho rulers of those nations against whom they were PLOTTING AND CONSPIRING. Thera .*• no pro])OHitlon so thoroughly and univer sally uudorstuod as that no people of any country can under auy couditioDH be ^K^aceful, prosperous and happy unless they have a voice in the management of their own affaiTK, the right to make their own laws, regulate their own internal affairs and control their own indus tries aud the general devolopmeiit of the resources of their country. Havo the Irish people any.such right? No. On the contrary, they ara forblddtin under the severest iieualties to meet and discuss in public or^pri- valc tlmir grievances. The right of free »peech is denied them ; their libertiM are so restricted that the vciy hour.vof tha day when they ^ a y rexuaiii out of their houeeft are prescribed, and it now doubtful Jf they can with safety communicate with their fxip.nds in this .country juudor tho iufaJuouH Harrourt bill)to send them assiKtauco, lost the money sent them might be construed as forwarded for tho pmclivse of explosives , Under such circumstances a s , these, circumstaucoa which were known to every one of the 1.275 delegates to that convention, can any man accuse tlicm of violence or indiscretion? No, ou the contrary they showed in uU their deliberations a forlienrauce, coolness and dig nity equal to the justice of their chuso . Think, gentle men Aif the rcHVilt of this convention. The unification of over eight inilUons of our race ou this continent! What a force to contribute freely to the good cause, aa indeed they do contribute now. Hundreds of thous ands of dollars aro yearly sent to Ireland, and still we arc api^aled to for ivlief. Under these circumstances uiicontradictable as the}' arc, is there any man or set of men who would gainsay our right to inquiro into the facts, find out tho cause and apply a remedy? [Applause.! England might as well undenitajid once for all that we are not going to stand idly by and permit our race to be exterminated, while English millionaiic.s and heart less landlords, rich witlij the money wrung from our oppressed cmintrymen, look on iu si'ornful apathy at the sufferings they havo caused. Had »«y of these I'coide been present at the convention yesterday afternoon when tho uaino of your present president of the National Ijcngue, Alexander Sullivan, the young Grattau of the West, was put in nomination they would iiavc come, to tlic concluBkm that tliy Irish people in this country were united as they never were ?#efore ; that tlie lime had <*ome when Justice must be done to Ireland. If Btiything further wii-c wanting, the closing scenes of tho convention oiiglit to convince them. Our glorious Hag of libwty waved iu unison with the Bimbur.st of our native country to the music of tho “ Star Spaugled Banner ” and “ God save Ire land,” rendered by tho voices of our 1,200 delegates. [Apidause.] A contribution of $30 was received from Mr. John B. Coffin, who was awarded a vote of thanks, as were also the delegates to the recent convention. Steps were taken looking to a meeting of tho various branches, so that A formal change of name from the Land League to the National League may be effected.

This comniiltco assure you that your voluntary and jiatriotie action in this matter is fully appreciated by them, and desire in behalf of their uonstituenls to thank you for it, and who also fully appreriate vour action. This particular street Is one of the few private slreets in the city which was originally opeutd, graded and paved by tho jiroperty owners, and then thrown open to the uses of the p ublic; and having lieeri so left open for tlic i^riod fixed by statute, tlie city has ac^juired tho use of the street, with police a!id sanitary jmisdicllou, but with no franchise in the street. It is principally occupied by private rasidciiccs, mostly of a high order, which are assessed at a Uigli valuation for taxation, ami any kind of a rhilrpud wmildtcnd to deprwiate the value of the property very largely. Beside, tho streptis less than half a inflo in lengi h (only.live ordinary city Idocks), and there are railroads which cross it at il« commence- ment at the Wall street Ferry, running in various direc- tiouK, and others which also cross it at or near its east erly end at Court street, and diverging to various parts of the city that furnish all the accommodation abso- lutaly necessary to the public. A railroad to be run for ao short a distance only cannot be intended for the ac- coiumodatiou of the great public, aud cau ouly bo In tended for THE GREED AND PRIVATE GAIN OP THE INCOR PORATORS and stockholders, uot one of whom, so far as now appears, resides upon or owns any proi>erty on the street, but all of them appear to reside in parts of the city quite distant therefrom. Again, this street Is the only approach aiul entrance to the city from this city ef New York, which is free from railroad tracks, anil to which a very large number of the residents from dis tant parts of the city cau go with their carriages on their way to the city of New York, and in which their carriages can wait to convey them back to thoir homes without being subjected to the lucouveuleuces and dangers consequent upon railroad (racks. Again, the particular railroad now attempted to be foisted ujiou the street (the cable railroad) would be— ow'iiig to tbe peculiarity of Its tracks, aiid tlio very aieep ascent and descent of the part of the street nearest tho Wall street ferry—crtiiecially dangerous to persons using the street with carriages. Again, owing to the great width required for oper ating tne rood and tbe large number of tracks neces sary (four tracks being rarpiirtkl for each line of cars), that pari of tho street from the commeuceinent of the bill to below the granite arches covordiig the street, would l)s virtually closed to vehicles, and the cars would extend over the sidew’alks on each side, thus ren dering the operation of the road particularly dangerous to pedestrians ; and so much of other parts of tho street would bo occupied by it that there would uot be fluf- fioieut room (o admit of any kind of vehicle standing in front of rcsidencea during the oticrating of the road. Again, a rcmonstranco and objection to this railroad has been signed by more than four-fifths of the prop erty owners on the street, by lineal feet. In short, tbe objections to this road are too numer ous to be covere<l ju « aingle letter, but it is bclicvetl we have shown you a stifficient number of reosoiiK to justi fy the property owners in their oppositiou to it. and to satisfy you as to the equity of the law proposed by you for their protection ; and we trust that you will be pleased to give the matter your earnest attention and •upport, to the end that it may be accomplished.

Beautiful Flowers, Pictures({i(e Dances and a BrUllantCompany—A Description o f the Setine. Thousands Raised for the Cause o f Cliarlty. From noontime of j'esterday up to m u lniglit the second floor of Delmonico’s uptown establishment waa the seen 0 of one of the most novel ontcrUiuments ever given la New York, and, indeed^ lu America. For weeks ** the best society ” of Gotham hod been in a flutter of excitement and expectancy over this enter tainment Vogue rumors began to circulate during the latter part of the Lenten season to the effect that a grand revival of an old Dutch festival would lake place ^n New York shortly after the reoi>enlng of the gay season, b u t the exact nature of this festival never could be ascertained. At last the mysterious word “ Kermoss ” began to circulate from mouth to mouth, and finally a few of the leading ladies of society announced that a Elrmoss Festival would bo given at Delmonico’s the latter part of April, Promptly at noon yesterday this.festival commenced, and Delmoni co’s second floor was crowded with fashionables from that time until the striking of tho hour.of .midnight. During ihe day the festlvul w’os givon over to tha little folks, w'ho enjoyed a fancy ball, sold flowers, aud in dulged iii a variety o f . lioyel games aud gypsy revels, W'hile a bountiful table, served by Delmonico’s waiters and presided over by Mrs. Richard Irvin, Jr., Mrs, Daniel M'orden and Mrs, John Lowery, supplied tho cravings of Iflcinnermsn. The large ball room was beau tifully decorated with plants Imported esi»ceiaUy for the occasion from the South, aud including chei*ry, i>cach, apple and the superb magnolia blossoms, which filled the entire floor w'lth a delicious fragrance. Near tho entraiice to the hall Imng two orange colored es cutcheons with the Dutch mottos, “Orauje Booeu” aud “ Voor Voor God cn Onz VadorLaud” painted upon them. One room was given over to the sale of flowera, and this apartment proved one of the moat attractive in the festival, for behind moss and fern covered counters stood a number of GOTHAM MAIDENS in quaiut, picturesque Dutch costumes read}* to charge you a fortune for a bouquet and a comfortable yearly income for a single rose. In the comers of the apart ment mingled with great palms were pyramids of flow ers of all varieties. Leaving tho flower room, one eu- couutercd tho gypsy encouipmcnt fashioned after the Bcene in tho “ Romany Bye,” although even more realis tic, tbo tents being pitched among small pino trees aud upon green turf. Mrs; Julius Gatlin, Jr., was the queen of the camp. The afternoon passed in aw'hirl of excite ment for tbe little folks, .w'bo scampered about the rooms, danced, ehoutod and ajiserted themselves the masters and mislresscB of tho ceremonies generally un til six o’clock. From six o’clock until twelve tlio older people took possession of tho festival, and during the evening a mimbcr.o( cxcee<lingly novel dances wore given. One of the moat strikingly picturesque was the DUTCH NATIONAL REEL, w'hlch commenced about tw'onty minutes of ten, and in which sixteen couples took part. The young ladles taking part iu this reel w'ere chaperoned by Jlrs. W. C. Schornierhoru and Mrs. J. O’Connor. All the young ladies taking part iu tUo reel were fairly ablaze with jewels, which added to their picturesque costumes mado a sight not soou to be forgotten. The leiuler of the dance, a very pretty blonde, waa said to be of pure Knickerbocker origin, and she certainly looked the character she assumed. The different costumes of the young ladies taking part iu this dance wora after those worn at tbo Hague, Zandvoort, Ainstonlaui, Nieiilaiul, Nicukerk and Beljcrland. The gentlemen in the dance were dressed as sailors of tho Dutch type, wearing . boots, loose trousers, striped jerseys aud red mob cap. Another noticeable dance was the Tl'HOLIAN QUADRILLE danced to the music of four zithers and one of the quaint est parts of tbe evening’s programme. Tho latllc.'* entered one at a time to the sound of a horn, the gentlemen soon following, and a 801*108 of very graceful munbera commencing.
