Life in New York.

The inefficiency Of the police force and the
insolence of crime in New York is forclbly
illustrated by an account in the New York
papers of last week. of a most brutal and
dastardly outrage committed on horse car
upOni Broadway, on Wednesday night.
The victim, Mr.. Putnam, was escorting a
lady and her daughter and having called
the attention of the latter to the towers OF
the Gilsey House, she stepped to the door
to obtain good view, when, finding that
she had attracted the attention of an ntoXi-
Gated brute upon the platform, she resumed
her seat.
The man then entered the car and seated
himself beside the young lady, who was III
stantly removed by her mother to another
seat. This irritated the rutfian, and he al
dressed some insulting remarks to the
mother, when Mr.. Putnam informed him
that the ladies were under his charge and
must not be intertered with. The drunken
beast, after asking Mr. Putnam how far up
he was going, and receiving no reply,
savagely exclaimed, "Well, I'm going as
far as you do, and III give you hell when
yeu get Off"
Finally, as Mr.. Putnam and the ladies
were leaving the car the young lady being
on the crossing and the gentleman in the
act of assisting her mother to alight, the
wretch who had been annoying them dealt
Mr.. Putnam a blow on the head with the
car hook, which felled him to the ground
insensible, and disappeared. The con
ductor, who had Witnessed the assault
co lly rang the bell, and left the partit Z
without making any effort to assist them
The injured man died, and the brute was
arrested

Commissioner VVelIer's Court.

Inspector Joseph Coleman, of the United
States customs lin New Orleans, made an
affidavit charging Scotty Brown, alias John
Moore, with having Struggled lot OF cigars
into the port of New Orleans on the fifth of
May, 1871. The accused was arrested, I'M
derwent examination, and committed to
answer the charge against him before the
United States Circuit Court. In default of
giving five hundred dollars bail the accused
was remanded to prison.
Christ Valley, captain of the towbOat
Admiral, and j. NJ. kearney, captain of tb
tugboat Aspinwall, were brought before
Commissioner Weller yesterday to answer
charge of manslaughter made against
them by Officer Brown. of the Metropolitan
harbor police. The prosecution was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Assistant United States
District Attorney Gurley, assisted by Judge
Dooly. Colonel Field and Mr.. Eagan APP
peared for the defense.
The amount of the charge, as embodied
in the affidavit of Officer Brown, was that
the captains of the tugboats Admiral and
Aspinwall, on Monday last, did negligently
and carelessly run into a harbor police boat
containing four policemen. crushing the
boat and killing Officer Douglass. On which
allegations the charge of manslaughter is
based.
Thomas Martin was sworn. Witness is a
member of the harbor police force, and was
III the ponce BOAT Ht lut tlllo VI the tdtda-
trophe. He related the occurrence az far as
it came under his notice. His evidence was
conclusive as to the killing of Douglass by
the tugboat Admiral, but he admitted that
those on board both the tugboats used
every means to rescue the men who had
been in the crushed police boat.
Frederick Meyers, also member OF the
harbor police, who was on the boat at the
time of the accident, i'll some degree cor
roborated the evidence of the previous wit
ness. He states. however, that both the
tugs were much nearer the line of shipping
than usual; much closer, indeed, than was
necessary.
Officer William Brown had charge of the
boat at the time the accident occurred.
Under the circumstances the police boat
had no chance to escape. TIE witness APP
pretended danger, for he urged his men to
row faster, saying 'give way, boys; these
boats are racing again" The witness, who
has had an experience of some years as
river man, never saw boats run so close in
before. Is sure they were racing Each
boat was trying to get nearer the shore than
the other, and each one was trying TO get
ahead of the other. Is sure that must be
racing.
Henry McGregor is coal clerk for the gas
company; his place of business is near the
scene of the accident: saved Martin, the
policeman who had jumped into the water
when the police boat was crushed by the
Admiral; saw nothing unusual in the speed
of either the Admiral or the Aspinwall,
neither were these boats unusually close.
Some other witnesses swere examined.
whose testimony was not material, and the
case was continued until Monday, at five
o'clock.

THE LAST HoURs.-The last hours of the
festival at Odd Fellows Hall, last night,
were certainly pleasant as well as protita-
Bile. The rooms were thFonged with well
pleased visitors, who found that the
hours passed away like the silver lining to
a snowy cloud, never to return. Gentle
men followed our advice and looked in,
when they were unable to withdraw until
they had performed duty. Every table
was abundantly patronized, ladies, too,
making purchases freely of the numerous
useful and ornamental articles on sale. Al
though the fair was not fully appreciated
the first night, it finally became public that
there were irrepressible attractions, when
crowds of citizens called in to see the beauti
full sights. Voting was the burden of the
night, and as there existed no law to inter
rupt those who desired to vote often,
"repeaters" were cheered and invited to
call again at their earliest convenience.
The ladies who attended the various
tables proved themselves talented vendors,
drawing cash customers without drumming
for recruits. 1t is pleasant to state that the
fair was successful, financially and socially,
giving the church fair addition to its
exchequer. 1t was a noticeable feature
that members of other denominations lent
their assistance in q friendly manner,
especially on the closing night. After
eleven o'clock commodities of a substantial
kind unsold, were disposed of at auction,
selling at ruinous prices, but such evanes-
cent articles as votes held up at full figures,
with lively demand until the close.

The Special md License Taxes.

The special and license taxes, except
those on distilled spirits, malt, liquors and
tobacco went into effect on the first instant.
1t reduces internal taxation according to
the estimate when the law was passed last
July, about twenty millions of dollars, and
not three times that sum as has been pub
lished. The reduction in the tariff, which
was effected in the same law, will fall fay
below the estimate, owing to the fact that
the loss on the price list has been partially
made up by increase on other articles, but
notwithstanding these reductions it is be-
Iieved at the. treasury that the internal
revenue will exceed by fifteen millions the
estimate for the present fiscal year
