pose. So there were three halls, either
of which is more suitable for convention
than the courtroom; either of which the
committee knew they could have, and all
which they refused to accept, without
sufficient or satisfactory reasons.
Ithas been complained that persons were
excluded from the building. This is only
true so far as regards roughs and rowdles
who were hanging around the building to
no good purpose.
We have the evidence Of our own senses
to the fact that merchants on Custom
house business were denied entrance.
The officers of the government whose
duties are in the Customhouse were
barred from entering. And even the
deputy naval officer appealed in vain to
Mr.. Packard's doorkeepers to let gen.
tleman pass in, even though he assured
them it was a case of urgent official busi-
ness. The truth of the matter is, all the
roughest looking men we saw in or out OF
the Customhouse that day were inside the
building, duly labeled, deputy U. S.
Marshal"
No business man was interfered with or
inconvenienced in the slightest degree, as a
proof Of which it is only necessary to men
ton that the receipts of the day were larger
than for a week previously, and for the
same day during the past two years.
This statement is the subject for laugh
ter. When it can be made to appear that
crowd of two or three hundred men,
hanging around on both sides of the closed
doors of business house, does not inter-
fere with or cause Inconvenience to busi-
ness man, then We may eoncede the point.
Such crowd would be a nuisance and
source of danger to man carrying gold
to the cashier, even if they were not in
structed to prevent his ingress without q
ticket. To obtain the ticket, too, he
would have to apply on the side window
of the money order Office in the burning
sun, where stood another crowd, or chase
up Postmaster Lowell, who was running
around miscellaneously with great pack
age of tickets in his hands We should
call such treatment somewhat trying to
the patience of man in a hurry.
-"The receipts of the day were larger than
for week previously" etc.
The reported receipts were larger, no
doubt. 1t is said, and we have no doubt
with entire truth, that large portion of
the receipts for week previously had
been held back for the very purpose of
swelling those of the ninth. Thus an
ofense against the law was committed
in stupid attempt to perpetrate po-
lical fraud.
And finally. We have the authority of
chief of Police Badger for saying that he
never made the assertions attributed to
him, in regard to forcing an entrance into
he building with the police, followed up
oy thugs and rowdies.
The delegates of the party who were
riendly to Warmoth, were in such ma
ority that they would have had no diff
'ulty in controlling the convention under |
rules, if the malcontents |
lad let them enter the courtroom.

THE WATERWORKS,

Alter lengthy discussion on the Water.
works ordinance, passed at a previous
meeting of the Council it was yesterday
rescinded. Administrator Shaw, by the
most persistent efforts, succeeded in get
ting a rehearing of the subject, and gave
cogent reasons why this ordinance, au-
| thorizing the issuance of two millions five
hundred thousand dollars of city bonds,
for the extension Of the City Waterworks,
should not be upheld. He denounced it
as most dangerous piece of legislation,
| and, considering the manner in which it
had been adopted, was not disposed to re-
gard it as valid. This ordinance, appro-
priating large amount of money for a
certain purpose, was passed by vote of
three members, when the charter of the
city requires that sums of money exceed
ing five hundred dollars can only be voted
away by majority of all the members
composing the Council.
The ordinance was passed in the absence
of Administrator Bonzano, and the friends
of the measure are accused of having
taken advantage of his absence to force it
through. 1t appeared that Administrator
Lewis, after voting for the ordinance.
Immediately gave notice that he should
move for a reconsideration of the vote at
the next meeting of the Council Admin
istrator Shaw reminded him of this YES
terday, and insisted that courtesy to full
meeting of the Council demanded that he
should move for reconsideration. After
it was found that Administrator Lewis
could not be induced to reopen the ques-
ton by moving for a reconsideration of
the vote taken at previous meeting,
adopting the ordinance, the question was
reopened by a vote of the Council request
ing Administrator Shaw to address the
members upon the subject. This he did
SO thoroughly and effectually-notwith-
standing the reply of the Mayor, which
was intended as silencer to all that the
Administrator of Public Accounts could
say-that resolution was passed rescind-
ing the obnoxious Waterworks ordinance
by a majority of all the members compos-
ing the Council. This was not done.
however, until all the members had had.
their say about the matter under discus.
sion.
The debaters were all earnest in their
efforts for or against the ordinance, but
Mr.. Shaw, Mr.. Flanders, Mr. Remick.
Mr.. Walton and Mr.. Lewis were the only
ones who entered into the discussion at
length. Their remarks have fully de-
veloped the fact that there is majority of
the Council who are opposed to author
lzlng the issuance of the bonds of the
city to the extent of two millions five
hundred thousand dollars, to be sold
without stipulated price, to raise money
TO extend the Waterworks of this city, and
when sold the bonds to pay the holders
eight per cent interest yearly, to be paid
by the city out of the proceeds of the
"aterworks, II there be any, after the ex-
penses of the department are paid. and
II not, then to be paid by the taxpayers.
In case the Waterworks ordinance. as |
passed, went into effect and the bonds |
were sold, there would be two hundred |
thousand dollars of interest money that |
would have to be met yearly. And this
sum, it is believed, would be far more
han the yearly profits of the Waterworks

ELASTIC STITCH MACHINE

Of your Company's make is far superior to
any that we have used Its simplicity,
small effort required to operate, and the great
strength and elasticity Of its seam, are qualities
we have never found equaled in any other. Since
the introduction of your Sewing Machine into our
Asylum, it has always been the favorite with our
children, and often source of much contention
among them, as to who should have the privilege
of its use.
During the past two years We have had five Of
your Sewing Machines in constant use, and large
quantities of work Of every description for fami-
lies has been done on them. We have never had
any complaint from those for whom the work has
been done, but, on the contrary, much praise for
the beauty and perfection of the machine stitching
We most earnestly hope that you will accept our
proposition to exchange, and favor US by sending
your machines at the earliest opportunity.

SUSPENSION OF SECRETARY OF STATE.
The Governor yesterday suspended Mr..
George E. Bovee from duty as Secretary
OF State, and appointed General F. j. Her
ron to actad interim. The reasons for this
action will be found given at length on
the first page of this mornings paper, and
| appear to Us to be more than sufficient
1t appears that Mr.. Bovee, not content
with the rather humble duties conferred
upon him by the constitution and law,
has attempted to assume executive func-
tions to the extent of making laws in the
interest of a ring of spectators, with
whom he is said to be on the most init
mate terms. And we can not conceive of a
more high-handed act of usurpation and
official malfeasance than his recent attempt
to foist on the community the bill known
as the Crescent City Waterworks bill, un-
der the pretense that it is law The
original copy of this bill is still in the
hands of the Governor. The transcript
which the Secretary sent to the REpUB-
L1cAN Office for publication, and attested
as true copy of the original, is merely
copy of duplicate, or the semblance of
one which he has industriously manufac-
tured from the records of the minute
clerks. It is, no doubt, substantially like
the original, but it is not copy of it; was
not made from it, and has never been
compared with it. Of course, it is in no
sense law Of the State, and the Secre-
tarys great ofense consists in his officially
certifying it to be what it is not
The constitution makes it the duty of
the Governor to see that the laws are faith
fully executed. And in the discharge of
this duty he has no other recourse, when
he finds subordinate officers faithless to
the trust reposed in them, than to suspend
them, appoint others to attend to their
duties, and report his action to the Legis-
lature. And such is the course that will
be taken in Mr.. Bovee's case. They in
itiatory steps have already been taken,
and will be followed up.
