meeting Of the Nineteenth Ward Railroad Re-

rooms $50 Third avenue, at which the Chairman,
Mr.. McCool, presided usual. Since the passage
by the Assembly of the plan for sinking the track in
Fourth avcnue--the victory being now half won
the interest OF the members in the business
OF the organization has become less active,
dissatisfaction seems to exist with the doings OF
the peoples sage legislators. Some not
willing to permit the weary nights OF heated
Oratory and laundering debate which disturbed so
long the residents Of Yorkville to become memories
OF the past. but wish to continue the wrangling and
ambitious bombast which creates so much noise
but accompshes so little. BY the wiser party the
following resolutions were proposed last evening to
conclude the most arduous labors OF the associa-
tIon:-
Resolved, That accept the proposition Of Mr. Van
derbilt to sink the track and arch IL Is
passed In the Assembly.
Resolved, That we urge the Senate 10 pass the same

Resolved That through the OF organization

Resolved, That this association will stand organized

Mr. Jacob Cohen advocated the resolution which
he had offered very eloQuently. but finally an
amendment less wordy was offered, and passed az

FATHER BURKEs LECTURE IN ST. STEPHENS.

The Very Rev. Father Burke will lecture on Tues
day evening next, In st. Stephens church, Twenty
eighth street. the subject being "The Catholic
Church the True Emancipation" The lecture VIII
be In support Of the mission to the coored people
of the United States, which the Rev. DR.. Vaughan
has organized, and which is already fairly
started. So strong have been the prejudices
OF Irish citizens against the coiored race
in former times that an attempt Is now
being made to enlist their sympathes In behalf or
this evangelical work. But, apart from this, the
eloquence OF the lecturer will be to present the
claims OF the cO0red people so wildly and 30 at
tractively that the lecture simply as lecture, will
not fail to draw an immense audience. Before tho
lecture begins Mr. DanfOrth, the Organist OF the
church, will play some selections on the organ.

THE METHODIST BOOK COMMITTEE.
The Quadrennia1 Report Read, Amended
and Notwithstanding Up Four Years
Work OF the Committee.

The Quadrennia1 Report Read, Amended
and Adopted-Finishing Up Four Years
Work OF the Committee.
The Methodist Book Committee sat again yester-
day morning and afternoon. DR.. Bingham, the
Secretary, was absent having been called away to
prepare for publication the minutes OF the Black
River Conference OF which he is secretary and for
other business which he could not attend to until
after the adjournment of the General Conference,
had he neglected it now. The morning
session OF the Committee was spent in read :
ing and listening to the quadrennal report
as it now appears with the Book Concern matter
Incorporated The afternoon was spent In making
verbal and technical amendments to the docu.
ment and In discussions as to the prOprety OF pub
fishing 1t. Deeper insight into the report Of the
Book Concern expert reveals the fact that though
no positive or legal proof can be found against Mr.
Hoffman there can be no doubt that the Concern
has lost considerable through his msmanagement
in tl~>bin.ory department.. STILL in twelve special
accounts Of his In which frauds had been charged
ing or the committee IN ten OF them and showed
probably frauds two.
missing vouchers alleged to have been carried
about by Dr. Lanahan, as previously reported. The
matter came before the committee on resolution
OF inquiry regarding them. The report unmistak-
ably condemns the practice of purchasing paper
for the Concern through Mr. J. +. Porter; but adds
that, from careful comparison OF prices the Con-
Germ got its paper as cheaply as any publishing
house in the city, except Harpers. Aud Mr.. X.
adds that II he were the superintendent of the
printing department, he would have bought as
cheapy as Harper's, or else have ceased to use Mr..
Porter.
From certain statistical tables presented in the
report 1t Is shown that in 1863 when the concern Is
alleged to have been so rotten and almost bankrupt
that it paid out In wages and for material some-
thing over $1S0,000 to turn ont little over
S2ol 600 worth OF work. But In 1871, when every
thing was supposed to be running smoothly aud
economically, nearly SiSs,000 were expended to
turn out S205,O00 worth of saleable goods. The
mismanagcment OF the agents in the first named
year Is not very apparent from this showing.
The committee will have another session
Monday probably the last, when their five years
business will be finished up. IL Is believed that the
next General Conference will place the publishing
interests of the Church in the hands of board OF
trustees who shall appoint their own agents and
employees, and thus rid the Annual ana General
Conferences Of this bone Of contention. The COM
mittee, however, do not expect or intend to make
anJ such recommendations In their quadrennal
report, but will leave the General Conference to
originate such improvements In its own body. The
whole matter will come up for review In a few days,
when the Conference will meet in Brooklyn.
