New Daily Paper-Chamber of Commerce
and General Order System-Trial Of
Mrs. Hyde-Jury Ont Twenty-Nine
Hours - Excitement Among School
Teachers-Operations at He'll Gate
Suspended.
New YORK, April 22.-A new daily paper,
the Union, in the interests of the working
classes, appeared this morning.
The chamber Of commerce committee ap-
pointed to cooperate with the Senate Gus
tomhOuse committee have reported. They
say the new general order system is great
Improvement, and encourages commerce.
The jury in the Hyde trial were out
twenty-nine hours, and said they finally all
agreed to acquit but one, and that in order
to render q verdict the eleven offered to
agree to $1,000 fine and raise the money
themselves, but the disagreeing juror was
obstinate. Counsel for Mrs. HYDE will
move for her release ON bail tomorrow
morning.
Considerable excitement Is said to prevail
among 200 school teachers owing to their
inability to find any provision in the city
charter for their reten tion.
Measures have been taken to establish q
Protestant Episcopal church in Rome,
Italy, the trustees Of which are to reside in
this city: The name Of Secretary Fish is
among them.
Father Gavazzi preached his first sermon
in America yesterday at the Brooklyn
Tabernacle. ,s
The butchers held an indignation meet
ing yesterday, and appointed committee
to demand Of the Tribune retraction of the
assertion that certain butchers sold unmer-
chantable meat, or take the alternative of q
prosecution for libel.
The trial Of Libbie Garrobrant for tho
murder of Ransom +. Burroughs, begins
to-day in Patterson. New Jersey.
The operations ut He'll Gate have been sus-
pended until July, and the expectation of
completing the work Of the removal Of the
rock abandoned till next year.

Academy Celebrities.

The Nielsen family ofs gymnasts, with
Professor j. l.. Davis and troupe of edu-
Gated dogs. closed very successful ca
gagement ON Friday evening last. They go
to st. Louis to join Dan Rice's circus party.
Their vacancy, however, was readily filled
by other artists of great ability, among
others Miss Annie Hindle, the exquisite vo-
calist, in her electric changes, and M. Leon
Javeli and sou, in their wonderful feats Of
dexterity, light and heavy balancing, etc.
The above constitute few of the leading
attractions for the present week, although
no formal announcement was made of the
latter, who appeared for the first time on
Saturday, probably owing to sudden en-
gagement after the copy of the programme
had been sent to press. Notwithstanding
the informal manner in which he first ap-
peared, he proves to be an excellent per-
former of rare as versatile ability, and is
nightly gaining favor among the habitues
of the Academy.

postal services will also be saved to our
people if we have the ships with which to
convey the mails. Our means OF communi-
cation will be increased. 1t is deemed wise
to afford abundant mail facilities within the
country, whether the receipts from the busl7
ness meet expenses or not We are suDslu-
izing the mail service in two-thirds OF the
nation by direct appropriations from the
treasury, and of moneys received from otner
taxes than those imposed under the postal
system. The means to conduct foreign IN
tercourse, though not as essential as domes-
tic, is of great value to the people CONNER
cially, socially, and politically.
But, sir, it is highly important in pecu-
mary point of view, that we foster and de-
veiop our export trade: While our exporta-
tions reach the sum Of $500, 100000 exclu-
sive of coin and bullion. only ST., ,25O, 900
are breadstuffs. We supply little to Mex
leo, the West Indies and the South Ameri-
can States. The abundance of our produc
tions, especially those commodities which
feed and clOthe men, together with our
proximity to the people named, would sug-
gest that these supplies should come from
us. They purchase of more distant nations
because they are destitute of shipping, like
ourselves. The United States can supply
more of the cereals than any other nation.
The corn crop reaches thousand million
bushels per annum, and wheat three hun
dred million.
The capacity for increase is unlimited
We ought to export hundred million bush
els Of wheat, and at least two hundred mil
lion bushels of corn annually, and still
there would remain for domestic consump-
tion five bushels of the former and twenty
bushels Of the latter per capita. This might
be done if Americans controlled transporta-
tion upon the sea. National partiality is
strong the world over. The Englishman
exerts himself to increase the expectation Of
the products of his country. This is natural.
Americans would do likewise if they con-
trolled the trade between this and foreign
countries. Other nations fix prices for US.
We ought to designate for them, at least
regulate our own markets. 1t is not in the
interest OF merchants and manufacturers
that advocate liberal measures for the re-
vival of commerce, but for agriculturists
and laborers. who are most benefited by
high prices for the products of the soil. The
results of restoration of the carrying trade
to our own people would add immeasurably
to the wealth Of the nation, and to an ex
tent beyond our ability to calculate. As a
pecuniary enterprise, it would ''pay" more
generously than any other investment We
could make

THE CITY HALL.

The unpleasant day yesterday rendered
business at municipal headquarters duller
if possible, than usual. Still the assessment
rolls were being rapidly prepared, under
the judicious inspection Of Mr.. Bonzano
and Administrator Walton had sharp eye
to the collection of taxes.
In tho Department Of Impro vements
little of special interest was transpiring
The new rotary pumps for the canals have
not yet been tried, and their efficiency Of
course still remains undecided. The in
spection, however, given them by compe
tent Judges leads to the Inference that they
will be found adequate to the demand.
The rain will materially interfere with
labor on the levees below town. 1t is for
tunate that little of the thirteen miles
stretch remains to be completed. 1t is re-
garded as a sure defense against the high
water.
An experiment is being made in the re-
pairing of the Nicolson pavement on St
Charles avenue.
As soon as the rain subsidies number OF
laborers will be put upon the roads leading
to the Fair Grounds. 1t is proposed to keep
them in excellent condition.
The committee to which was referred the
matter of erecting the Franklin statue in
Lafayette square, will report at the meet
ing of the City Council to-day favorably
upon the proposition of Messrs. Olmstead Il
jenkins 10 do the entire work at cost not
to exceed $2lG0. This is also in &C cordance
with the conditions of c. A. Weed, Esq, OF
the Times, who presents the statue to the
city.
AT a meeting of the Administrators yes
terday morning in the Mayors parlor, Mr..
Shaw stated that as an advertisement had
been made for proposals to erect the broken
reservoir of the Waterworks, he desired to
know what machinery, pumps, etc, would
be required to extend the Waterworks, and
as there was law now pending to extend
it to the Fourth and Sixth Districts, it
might be advisable to see some experts and
take into consideration the amount they
thought requisite for the erection of new
and the repairing of old reservoirs.
Mr.. Bennett, who was examined, stated
that he believed the present reservoirs
would do if the pumps were kept constant
ly working, and additional engines would
be only necessary if an extension was made
to the Fourth and Sixth Districts. Also
that if a "stand pipe" was constructed, the
reservoirs would he done away with alto
gether. In case the stand pipe was con
structed about four miles of clay pipes
laid throughout the city, would have to be
replaced by iron ones.

St. J0seph's Church Fair.

This is the last day of the fair for the
benefit of St. Joseph's Church, and we ad-
wise those who have not yet visited it to at
tend it to-day at their hall, corner of Der
bigny and Common streets. Tonight all
the exciting contests are to be decided. and
as each fair lady has her friends, we expect
| to see crowd and very happy time. The
fags-at stand No. have been voted to the
Hopes, and the silver mounted bat and ball
to the Lays. Miss Charles, in the stove
contest, at Mrs. McCabe's table, is certainly
deserving of great deal of credit for the

and we hope her friends will turn out en-
,nassc this evening to award her what Is 80
Justly her due.
