The Charges ~ Aldsrman Dohsrty Against
the Street C0nnuaawasMers
The special committee, consisting Of Aldermen
Tweed Moore, and Sturtevant, appointed to lnvesti-
gate the charges brought by Alderman Doherty
against the Street Commissioner. relative to the
awarding Of the contract to grade 1881 street,
sumed their inquiries yesterday morning, at the
City Hall.
Question by Alderman Doherty to the Street Com.
miaioner.-Have you got the Inspectors book with
Mr.. Furey-No, but can obtain it Immediately.
Alderman Doherty.-l will take your word for it,
however. Have you appointed an inspector for the
work Of grading 123d street, between Third avenue
and avenue Al
MIR. Furey.-No; there has been no inspector ap-
pointed for that work. as have been waiting to
what disposition the Common Council would make
of it-whether they would confirm the contract or
Alderman Doherty then said it would be diff
cult to 60 on with the investigation in the alb
sence of Mr.. MCGUIRE the witness last examined on
Wednesday but was willing to hear anything from
the other side.
Mr. Willard, counsel for the Street Commissioner,
said he did mot see the necessity Of Offering any
case rest. He wished, however that the
Alderman would bring all the evidence having
. hearing on the case. He could not see that
any testimony whatever was adduced to show that
the Street Commissioner was guilty of dereliction of
duty. He was prepared for thorough investiga
ton.
Alderman Dohery said he was sorry that MCGUIRE,
the witness, was not present. that he was the last
day Of the investigation rather unwilling witness.
He did not want to be considered as failing in his
charges, but he would leave it to the chairman
of the committee whether the committee shouldwat
for Mr. Mcclure to come or not
Mr.. Willard said he desired Mr. McGuire's testmo-
ny further in the case-that he wanted to crossex-
anime him, but that the witness, he presumed, was
not properly notified
Alderman Doherty said that Of course Mr.. Willard
desired the attendance Of this witness for he was in
favor of his side He also stated that Ausns brother,
who was present at the last investigation, made his
brags that the testimony Of Mcclure would have
| "a laundering effect"
Alderman Tweed chairman Of the committee, said
he was willing to sit and hear testimony on the mat
ter but as there were witnesses present, the in.
vestgation had better be adjourned to Monday; and
in the meantime he would consult the Counsel OF the
Corporation asto whether the committee could com
| pei witnesses to attend.
Mr.. Willard was willing to let the case rest, but
was ready to hear further investigation.
| Alderman Doherty said, If the investigation ad
journed to Tuesday, he thought be would be able to
| close.
| The committee then adjourned to Tuesday, OF IL
| o'clock.

The SMYRNA AFFAIR.-The brush
at Smyrna, between the Austrian and
American naval commanders, in rcla-
ton to the Hungarian, Kosta, will
probably form subject of diplomatic
investigation. 1t will give occasion to
some hard words, perhaps, and to
many brave and patriotic declarations !;
but it is hardly possible to make casus
belH out oft. According to the &C.
count given by the London Times, and
which we noticed somewhat in detail
all parties in the ARRAY were at fault.
Kosta had no business to be at Smyr-
ma, and could not be there without vi
olating his parole of honor the Aus
trians had no sort of right to kidnap
him as they did and Capt. Ingraham
undoubtedly transcribed his powers
by showing fight SO promptly, without
any attempt at amicable interposition.
1t must be admitted, however, that he
showed a proper and commendablc
spirit, and that if he erred, it was
rather from the fear of falling short Of
duty, than from any intention Of going
beyond it. or of disregardins the pro
prictics Of the case.
Austria, however, will feel in honor
bound to demand reparation for being
threatened with a broadside by a Uni
ted States vessel of war. 1t has al
ready become a matter of inquiry
What shall our Government do in the
premises? The Washington Union,
if it indicates the sentiments of the
Administration, gives us a clue to the
course the Government will pursue
That paper sustains Capt. Ingraham
fully, and claims that, as amicable III
terposition would probably have been
of no avail, it was his duty to use
promptly, all the force necessary tc
to protect Kosta and that if he had
poured a broadside into the Austrian
brig and sunk her to the bottom, the
world would have regarded it as a jus
tifable act.-Boston Traveller.
