THE RIVAL CHARTERS.

A WANT OF HARMONY ON THE PART OF THE
COMMITTEES.
The differences between the Committee of
Seventy and the subcommittee Legislation OF the
Republican General Committee relative TO the provisions
of the new Charter for this city to be submitted 10 the
Legislature after IL convenes are further from
settlement than ever 1t s asserted by those who
well informed in the matter that the Republican Com
mttee have abandoned the idea of endeayorng to bar
monize the differences between 1t and the Committee OF
Seventy and will go on and perfect their charter with
out further consultation with the latter body final
meeting Of the sub Committee will be held in the early
part Of the week. when the provisions Of the Charter
which are stl under discussion will be decided upon,
and the instrument will then be made public.
The question Of reGstabshing the Metropolitan Police
and Health District taking the NewYork,
Kings, Queens. Westchester, and Richmond, has been
discussed at considerable length and bill has
been drawn up to that effect. 1t is held in allegiance,
because Brooklyn has not been heard from the sub
ject sentiment of the residents of the counties
so far as be ascerained IL in favor OF IL in far
giving Jurisdiction to these bodies concerned If Brook
Iyn favors IT, the new will so amended
allow Of the the Metropolitan Police and Health
act. 1t asserted that the rupture between the Com
mIttee OF Seventy and the Republicans OF
great regret TO Mayor Havemeyer, who is placed In
members of the Committee OF seventy aud 10 s claimed,
Is IN full accord with fne spirit ana principles OF that
decons for Charter or the other 1t is also claimed
by the more influential members OF the Committee OF
Seventy that Mr.. Havemeyer elected Reform
Mayor, he Is unlikely 10 pander 10 partisan spirit
the part OF the Republicans more especially as he has
been Democrat for many years 1t Is understood that
his forthcoming Message without explicitly setting forth
his views this particular will afford very fair ind
cation OF his sentiments this and other matters
nected with the cause of Reform.
There is fear that the deliberations OF the
Committee OF Seventy have not been harmonious
they might have been have all the provisions of the
proposed charter been definitely settled upon. The
President is reorganizng Of the principal
Committees, and until this s done, the Committee will
probably little toward projecting the charter. The
members assert that wibe carefully drawn up and
presented TO the lie gsature, and claim that IL Will be
far better than that prepared the Republicans the
that IL will be free from partisan bias and allow
fair OF men of both parties

AN ABLE LECTURE BY PHNNEEL coomE.

AN ABLE LECTURE BY PRNNELL cooMBE.
The announcement that Rev. Pennell Coombe
would deliver q lecture at Aabury NJ. E. Church,
drew together large audience, last night, to
hear the distinguished champion OF Temperance.
After an introduction by Rev. L. Stubbs. Mr..
Ooombe proceeded Immediately to review the
whole Temperance question in its various details,
from the evils OF IntemperRnce TO their preven-
ton. With the wonderful vivacity and elo-
quence for which he was distinguished in form
years, he depicted the sin Of drinking intoxicat
ing liquors, and making it an article OF traffic,
aud consequently the outraging OF society by Ii
censing the sale Of it. He carried his audience
back 260 years ago when, in the City Of London,
the first license was granted, and but three
men at that time were allowed the sacred boon
Of having special license for the sale Of intox-
icating liquors. The various means and efforts
made use of from that time to the present to
suppress the liquor traffic were ably reviewed,
and the terrible growth Of intemperance shown
as each successive license law was enacted.
Mr. Coombe then proceeded to give the re-
suits Of various Chemical Analysis to show the
dangerous compounds OF which our modern IL
quors are made, and the deleterious and poison
GUS effects they have upon the system
A part Of the argument showed that apples
and sweet cider were entirely free from alcohol
until fermentation took place.
The recent vote on the local option question
in Pennsylvania was indicative Of the speedy
downfall Of the liquor traffic, and although
majority of the popular vote cast, seemed to be
against that measure, yet from large majority
OF the counties, and from two-thirds the area OF
the State, the traffic in intoxicating liquors was
virtually outlawed, never more to be legAlized.
MIR. Coombe was for four years the travelling
agent and corresponding Secretary OF the Penn
sylvania State temperance Alliance, and has re-
Gently filed the same position in New Jersey.
At the last session of the Philadelphia Confer
ence, he was appointed agent at large to go
wherever he felt inclined, depending upon the
sale Of some temperance publication, and the
generosity Of the public for his support. He is
now engaged in the formation OF q State Tenn
perance Alliance in Maryland, after which he
will do the same thing for Delaware, his own
native State.
Mr.. Coombe was two hours and twenty min
utes in delivering his lecture, and was listened
to with unaagging interest throughout.

The Swetits.

A SERVANT ARRESTED AND RELEASED FROM HEn
CONTRACT.
On Monday last Carolina Peterson, Swedish
servant in the employ OF Randolph Peters, was
arrested for desertion Of her home and violation
of contract, and imprisoned at New Castle On
Tuesday she was brought before justice of the
the Peace Of that town for trial, and after hear
ing the evidence in the case she was discharged
with full liberty to procure home wherever
The case as related to us, is as follows and it
was on this ground that her release was pro-
cured. On December 9th last, Carolina was
brought over by Mr.. Malmsten from Sweden, and
found home in the family of Mr.. Peters, at a
salary OF seven dollars per month. two of which
were to be paid her in person, and five were to
remain in Mr.. Peters hands in liquidation of the
passage money which he bad advanced to meet
the expenses OF her voyage. This contract was
TO last one yea: but Carolina says that require
ment to perform domestic labors while unable,
lmpelled her to leave her employer, but with
full determination to reimburse him for the
money he had advanced in passage money. Now
Carolina was minor-unable to make binding
contract under our laws-and it was in evidence
that the contract was not signed until after
her arrival here. For this reason the JUS
tice OF the Peace dismissed the case, and set
Carolina at liberty. She has since found en-
ployment in the family of Mr.. Gray, at New
Castle, and s well pleased with her new home.
Our informant, Swede himself, says that no
less than fourteen have abandoned their en-
ployers at Middletown and sought homes else
where.

Editorial TOPICS.

In all the long catalogue of crimes, whai
has there been 30 dreadful as that confessed at
Charlestown, Mass, on Tuesday? ID. 8. Marsh
was placed on trial for killing his infant child
and previous to reading the Indictment the pris-
oner arose in the dock and made prayer. In
answer to the.complaint, he said, ''these hands
did it, and then proceeded to narrate a sad sto-
ry Of his domestic troubles, which eliminated in
his taking the life of his child. This he did by
tying it's legs together, and throwing it into the
river from bridge.
The records Of shipwreck are being looked
up. Among the disasters to passenger steam
ships were the wreck Of the Arctic by collision,
in 1854, causing loss Of 800 lives the dsap
pearance, In the same year Of the CITY of Glds
goto, with 800 souls on board in 1856, the dis
appearance Of the Pacific. with 1856 persons
the wreck Of the Anglo Sd1on on the New
foundand Coast, in 1868, by which 1853 lives
were lost the disappearance of the City Of Bos-
ton, in 1870, with Ill persons on board. This is
q sad list but only few cases selected from the
long record. Those who go down to the sea, in
ships, encounter many dangers, other than those
on the land, though after all the destiny Of man
is death, and it comes as surely upon the shore.
as upon the ocean.
The withdrawal Of George William :Curtis
from the Civil Service Advisory Board is extern
Eively commented on, and all the press un-
friendly to the President think they may draw
from Mr.. Curtis action, the conclusion that the
rules Of the ClvilService Reform are to be aban-
doned. Nothing Of the kind has yet definitely
appeared in the action of the Administration
on the contrary the weight of its action leads to
q contrary conclusion.
