REVIEWING THE AWARDS.

Meeting or the Contract Comn afssioners-
John Bryan's Stowe Pavement Com
tract-Was the Ordinance FORCED and
Who Committed tho Forgerys
ExJudges Sutherland and Hooper G. Van Worst
and Mr.. d. r. Jaques, the Commissioners an
pointed to pass upon the awards made by the
Mayor and Commonalty of the city by yir.
tue of chapter $50 of the Laws Of 1872 resumed
their Investigations yesterday afternoon, at half
past four O'Clock, In the rooms Of the Board
OF Aldermen. At the opening Of the SEES
sion Commissioners Sutherland and Van
Worst were In attendance. Mr.. Jaques en-
tered few moments later and the session was
formally opened. The first call on the calendar
considered was John Bryan, who claims an award
Of contract for paving with the stone pavement,
White, Fifteenth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty seventh,
Twenty eishth, Thirteth and Fortieth Streets bids
for which were opened November %, 1870.
The argument In the case was resumed by Mr..
Shepard, counsel for property owners. He quoted
from the law which, he said, provides for advertis
ing in all the corporation newspapers, and de-
clared that the ordinances were not published ct
all. The law requiring the advertising Of bids must
be published ten days before the giving out Of the
bid. Counsel asserted that the law had not been
complied with In this particular.
The counsel for the Comptroller declared that
there was no legal advertisement Of the ordinance
III not properly advertised, under the ruling IN the
Douglas case, there no ordinance at all.
Judge Sutherland stated that he was free to say
that he thought the advertising of the ordinance
amounted to nothing. The question we are to dis
cuss is whether there was fraud in the award. The
city cannot retreat from an award, and the spirit
Of the law is that the city must fulfil the obligations
assumed by its officers.
Mr.. Calvin, counsel for Bryan stated that II the
case was reOpened he was prepared to put IN fur
Their evidence although they had submitted the
case upon its merits.
Mr.. Jaques stated that the question now raised
In this argument was whether there was all award
at ALL
Mr.. Shepard denounced the job as fraud, mas,
much 1t was not advertised In all the papers, It
was a Guy Fawkes fraud of the Common Council to
deceive the property owners. The evidence OF the
Mayor showed that the ordinance contained a
forgery, and that this Is not the ordinance he APP
proved. Therefore forged ordinance is not an Or
dinance, and there can therefore be no ordinance.
The counsel continued his argument at great
length but his effort seemed to have little In
finence uScn the Commission, who frequently inter-
rupted him ara corrected his misconceptlon Of
their powers in the pren.....-: - st. -i'-.
Mr.. Coivin counsel for Mr.. Bryan, said that q
complete Misrepresentation Of facts in regard to
the evidence Of the Mayor on the subject OF the
alleged forgery of the ordinance existed. The
Commission were visbly pleased when the argu.
ment closed, and soon after adjourned. -.

have just returned from the stable OF John
Harper and have seen the broken down horse Long
fellow, and gathered all the facts possible about his
defeat. Harper told me that as his horse wheeled
to start in the he struck his fOreleg with the
hind one on the heel and grabbed the plate, which,
he says, nearly threw LOngfelOw down, but seeing
him run on rapidly afterwards without showing any
signs of injury, he supposed that nothing material
had occurred.
When the horse stopped at the end Of the con-
test he was very lame and came near falling at
every step he hObbled to the stand and thence to
the stable where 1t was discovered that his plate
was doubled up under his foot and that his ankle
was sprained and the back sinew broken. The
horse had the mark Of the hind foot on his quarter
at the heel an inch and half in length-enOugh to
have cut half Of the heel OH-and the ankle was
swollen to an immense size. LOngfcllOw would not
put his foot to the ground, but held 1t up as If In
great misery, the muscles OF the forearm being in
constant agitation. The horse, in the opining Of
horsemen, Is irretrievably ruined as a race horse

Attention is directed to the call of the County
Central Committee, in this paper, for the De-
mocracy to meet on Saturday next, the 92d, to
select four delegates to represent yinton County
in the State Convention at Cleveland. In view
of the fact that no Congressional Convention
will probably be held to select delegates to rep
resent the District in the Baltimore Convention,
1t will probably be in order for our County Con-
vention to direct the delegates to the State Con-
vention to select the Baltimore delegates at
Cleveland, as may be done under the call of the
State Central Committee.
Not having heard Of any one spoken of in this
ulstrlct as delegate to the Baltimore Conven-

the value of the Miami valleys,

proved a wise one. Here had
