The COuncilmen last night cOncurred with the
Aldermen in handing over the Police Station.
Houses and apparatus to the new Commissioners.
The vote was almost unanimous. In the matter Of
the books of the Street Department, an injunction
was served on the MEMBER restraining them from
meddliDg in any way until the Courts have got
through with the legal inquiries. This injunction
gave great onense to some OF the Dead Rabbit
breed of the Democracy, but as the Mayor
had set the example they had mo- just
reason for complaint. At first the gentle
man from the Fifty.ffth-the efficient member of
the Albany Lobbying Committee, whose zeal while
at that corrupt and dissoute capital in opposing
the new Charter gave him no rest by day or by
night, and whose opposition to an "Albany Police"
was based upon reasons and experiments OF t1e
most satisfactory kind-wanted to 60 into secret
session and turn out all the spectators and
reporters merely to get rid of the officer who had
served the ipjunctions, aud who still remained in
the room. Having wasted half an hour, the motion
fell through and the regular business proceeded
But very shortly after, the uneasy member from
the Fifty fifth, under the guise of privileged
question, propeunded certain impertinent queries
rs to the private business of the member
from the Forty.6rst. That member taking no notice
Of the questions, the gentleman from the Fifty
offered foggy resolution to inquire of the
Editors Of The TRIBUNE and Herald some
thing about certain reports published 10 those
papers. This was adopted, and then several
papers passed third reading. A resolution ten
dering the Inequalities of the city to the Mayors
and Councils of st. Louis aud Cincinnati, who are
expected here next week, was adopted, and the
Board adjourned.

Burning Of the State Lunatic Asylum,
AT UTICA.
LOSS TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

UTICA, n. Y, Tuesday, July 1880 A.
The State Lunatic Asylum in this city is now 10
flames, and will be nearly or quite destroyed
Further particulars soon.
SECOND DISPATCH.
AT o'clock this morning, flames were seen oufst'
ing from the cupols of the New-York State Lunatic
Asylum in this city. Soon they assembled IN a grand
column and then burned downward, spreading toward
the wings on the west
BY barricading the passages with lumber covered
with blankets the FIRE was checked. The same effort
was not so successful ON the east; and that wing was
badly damaged.
TIE water provided upon the premises was easily
turned upon the fire. but the fire ragged with such vio-
lence at the summit Of the building that the water had
but little effect, and the supply was soon exhausted
The Fire Department were quickly oh the ground,
but the lack of water in the vicinity delayed their eff
forts. Lines were formed to the canal to obtain wa
ter but the great distance and the elevation OF the
Asylum above the canal made the supply insufficient
to check the flames.
They ragged for four hours, and completely burned
out the main building to the very cellar, damaging
much the east wing and somewhat injuring the west
wing. The rear wings are uninjured. Fire companies
from Rome, New.York Mills, Little Falls and Herk-
mer, came and rendered efficient aid.
Five hundred patients were in the Asylum at the
time. They removed to the rear wings, and
considerable number Of them taken, as the fre
progressed into grove in the of the buildings
The Citizens Corps stationed as guards around
them, and the Seymour Artillery, the Union Guards,
the Emmett Guards, the Johnson Guards, the Palmer
Artillery, and the German Rifles were called out to
guard the property removed and to prevent the
escape of patients in the excitement.
The origin of the fire is not explained, but it is said
that one of the chmnies had been on fire, and that
spark from that may have caught the wood work.
DR.. Gray and his assistants were cool and energetic
in the emergency. They hope to provide for the pa
tients but as the Asylum was crowded any provision
must be incOnvenient.
The damage to the building can hardly amount to
less than 100000.
Dr. L. +. Rose was seriously if not fatally burned
UTICA, Tuesday, July l4-3 p. IN.
The fire at the Lunatie Asylum has been subdued.
That part of the building Occupied by the patients
was little damaged and IF the patients were in
iured No additional accommodations will be required
for them Immediately ard one of the attending ply
sicans says they will be all comfortable by to-mor-
row night they before the fire. That part OF
the front of the Asylum which was Immediately be-
hind the colonnade, and which was occupied by the
Resident Physicians and contained the chapel, dining
room, &C., was destroyed by the fire.

Those remarks which have been offered in this
paper concerning the gross un6tness of some of our
public school teachers for the stations which they
occupy, might not have excited so much attention
and created 50 much surprise, if it had been gen.
orally known that qualification has been scarcely
considered at all by the appointing power. The
communication of "One Who Knows" which we
print in another place, explains much which might
otherwise have remained a mystery. For certainly
10 stranger, or to one whose eyes were not
opened, il would seem incredible that while ex.
pending annually over million Of dollars ia the
cause Of education should have teachers totally
ignorant Of the IudimeDts Of English grammar, aud
presumptively ignorant Of much else which it is
their duty to know But when we are informed
that these most responsible places are obtained
merely by personal influence, or are bestowed as
mark Of political sympathy-that they are con,d-
cred przes, not to be granted to modest merit aud
genuine Intellectual and literary requirement., but
to be scrambled for, intrigued cor aud won by the
l0ckiest and the sbarpest-we can then understand
that our cash is employed in the support of mpos-
tors ard that education itself has little or nothiog
TO do with the vast expenditure.
This statement reud.rs every thing heretofore re.
earded as amazing quite easy Of comprehension.
If.'in our simplicity. we still continued to think

appearing pertnaciVg-, INSIST upon the expulsion Of

Police Com mission, and is jointly with his fellow
men bers responsible for the peace Of the city; yet

Before the Dead Rabbit Riots of the Fourth o
July, Alderman Clancy called on the Police Com
missiODers and informed them that there would bt
disturbance and probably bloodshed in the Sixth
Ward on that day. He stated that ex-Capt. Dow
ling and no other man could preserve order there
| and that with bis aid and his own influence as
magistrate, all difficulty might be avoided. The
| Commissioners, for reasons which We need not sug
gest to men who have any sense of sefrespect did
not accept the protection of Alderman Clancy or
the dismissed Captain Of Police.
With the day came tho riot and ten men were
killed. No effort was made to suppress it by these
omnipoteDt preservers Of the peace. So far as
they were concerned it passed off as if it were q
foregone conclusion-a riot got up to order.
Within a few days thereafter aud while the vic.
tins were lying at the point Of DEATH several of
the rioters were arraigDed in the Court of Special
Sessions for IA simple msdemesnOr. Although out
rates upon the person have of late become priv.
legged class of crimes, this seemed to US too gross
perversiOn of law to be tolerated even in this COM
muDity; and on the morning Of the day on which
it was to be contaminated, attention was called to
it by a paragraph in THE TRIBUNE. The result
wss that the magistrates received information that
they must suspend proceedings until the final ac-
ton of the Coroners Jury, and that the prisoners
who might ON that day have been discharged on a
fine of nominal sum, or nothing at all, are low
held to answer for maDslaughter in the first de-
gree and may be imprisoned for life.
In the Court Of Special Sessions Alderman
Clancy appeared on behalf Of some of these riot
ers. He criminal magistrate, appeared in be-
half of men charged with crime. He was busy
yesterday in endeavorDg to procure their liberation
on bail If the law tolerates this, the public ought
to know it; if not the authorities, if there any
left to enforce the law, ought to prevent it. When
a criminal magistrate, the President of the Board
of Aldermen, champions the cause Of criminals,
and that, too, as personal friend-for he is not a
lawyer and has not the poor excuse of professional
men-must we not believe that he is driven by the
strong cOmpulsiOn of masters hand Nothing
but such necessity could have forced him to so
fragrant a breach of his magisterial duty.
Not less than the late riots among tae Fernando
Wood Germans Of the Seventeenth Ward, under
the guidance of the old Police, bemOurning their
Lost salaries iu lugubrous Grape, does this unparal
Ieed conduct on the part Of Aid. Clancy point to
the great Dead Rabbit Of the City Hall as the d.
rector Of these armed revolts. They indicate that
the man spoke DO jest, but sober earnest, when he
said TO his conftderates, nine days ago, in the City
Hall:
There is 10 be id big fight in that matter
yet. will show the public that these men IRE
ferrng to the Police CommissiOners) are not COM
petent to preserve the peace of this CITY,"

No serious disturbance took place yesterday in
the infected district. 1t was understood early 10
the day, that the fret attack upon the police would
be the signal for bringing up force equal to the
emergency, and that in any event the rioters would
DO subdued. Happily nothing occurred to render
necessary the exercise Of the full power Of the law.
The excitement was much less than on Monday,
and at night had pretty much died out. During
the dny various squads Of Dead Rabbits
Of the Mulberry street type made their ap-
pearance, evidently to join in fight, but the
Germans did not fancy their brogue and they gene.
rally received the cold shoulder. Ia the evening, a
public meeting was held in Fourth street where
some IL Aammstory speeches were made. Ex Cor.
oner Wilhelm presided; Alderman Coulter, Gus.
tom, House Officer Merkle, Assenblyman Artbl-
Woods. IL. Lieutenant Seebach. Congressman Coch.

and other Dead Rabbits, spoke In various moods

but chiefly phammatory, of the laws and occur
rences Of the day. The disgraceful spec
tacle Of tkese government officers rushing
into the arena to make personal capital
from dangerous public excitement, fairly disgust
ed the people in attendance, and when the meeting
adjourned there was much better feeling for law
and order than when it met, only few interlopers
from other Wards being found to propose cheers
for mob law and anarchy. The police force
under orders and within a few minutes call
was about 500; beside which, large mil
itary force was ready at moments warning.
Miller, the victim OF the riot on Sunday, was buried
yesterday. His funeral drew large concourse'
ard as they marched past the police station there
was a momentary apprehension of an attack, but
nothing occurred beyond the display of flag IN.

At latest accounts all was quiet in spite OF the
threat that IL will show the people that these men
cannot preserve the peace Of the CITY,"

With the exception of the Prussiau Charge
d'Afaires not one of the foreign diplomats was
present at the funeral of Gov. Marcy. When he
was in power all of them Aunkeyed subsequently
around him, and some owe their standing to his
iLtercession. This conduct is perfectly diplomatic,
especially as they are not kept at Washington by
any special business, but are enjoying themselves
in various places many Of them within days
travel or 60 from Albany.
