COURT Of COMMON PLEAS.
The Board OF Apportionment and tn
Election Bureau-A Salary Injunction.
Before Judge Larremore.


The Board OF Apportionment and the
Election Bureau-A Salary Injunction.
Before Judge Larremore.
In the case Of P. McMullen Judge Larremore
granted mandamus to compel the Board Of EST.
mate and Apportionment to make an appropriation
for the amount Of his salary Clerk Of the Bureau
Of Election, from January to June, 1872. The Board
net complying fully with the terms OF the order
order to show cause was granted why 1t should not
be punished for contempt. Counsel for the Board
also moved that the order be modified, and on both
these motions the case was brought on yesterday
before Ju.ge LarremOre In the Court Of Common
Pleas. Assistant Corporation Counsel Andrews
appeared for the Board and Mr.. Strahan for the re-
latOr
ON behalf of the Board 1t was urged that the
terms OF the mandamus had been carried out as
the matter had been brought before 1t and dis.
cussed, and 1t had been decided that the appropria-
ton could not be made.
Counsel argued that at this late period items
could not be put In the tax levy for expenses in
CURED In 1872 and that therefore, the appropriation
could not now be made by the Board or Estimate
and Apportionment. Hu
For the relator, Mr.. McMulen, counsel contended
that the mandamus required the appropriation to
be made and that therefore, the Board in refusing
to make IT, had disobeyed the order Of the Court;
and he further urged that the mandamus was q
proper one, there being no question but that the
work for which the salary was claimed had been
faithfully performed. lie therefore asked that the
Court, instead OF modifying the mandamus require
Its punctual fulf1lment.
Judge Larremore, after hearing the argument
took the papers, reserving his decision.

THE BRIDGE ACCOUNT.

The rumor which prevailed on the street last
evening to the erect that the East River Bridge
Company was largely a loser by the defalcation Of
the President Of the Brooklyn Trust Company was
traced from one source to another and resulted
in ascertaining the fact that instead OF the Bridge
company losing, 1.-THE boot was on the other foot"
In other words, the bridge people had large
amount on deposit with the Trust Company, but
had overdrawn their account. This statement OF
fact will doubtless tend to relieve the anxiety Of
the friends of the bridge enterprise on that score.
The amount oyerdrawn BY the Bridge Company
is $31, 000 The Comptroller Mr.. Schroeder. did not
have the city bonds ready at the time the money
was required, and Of course, the Trust people had
no hesitancy in advancing the money. 1t was
simply an accommodation on the surity OF the
city, as the bonds for the bridge are guaranteed by
law. vf. a.E I

State Their Reasons for Not Confirm
Ing.
The Mayor, who spent Tuesday on the islands
visiting the public institutions under the auspices
OF the Commissioners OF Charities and Correction,
appeared at his once yesterday in happy mood.
HERALD reporter asked him how he liked the in
stitutions, when he answered enthusiastically,
'sThey are in superb condition. was surprised
at the cleanliness and order that per.
wade all OF them. There may be some
little Irregularities not easily noticed in
single visit; but as far as ! could
they are finely managed. In Mr.. Stern we have
q prize. The other Commissioners may do well
also; but he seems to take great interest in them
and gives them his personal attention.
"By the way, Mr.. Havemeyer," said the reporter.
"there Is some anxiety ielt as to what course you
Will pursue as to the tax b0Oks-whether you will
permit the committee raised at the last meeting of
the Supervisors to have access to them: to ex-
anime the Nineteenth, Twelfth and Twen ty y-second
wards war. vaiuationf az DO you propose to let them

alter the vauatonr
"No; do not think anybody has such power
now. The Commissioners Of Taxes and Assess
ments give notice by advertisement and bills Tor
persons VINO may feel aggrieved to appear. They
give about SIX weeks notice, then close the books
send them to the Supervisors, and the Board OF
ApportIonment fix the tax. After they leave the
Commissioners do not think any changes can be
made. Property owners have q chance in these
six weeks to be heard, and 1t Is their fault II
assessed too high. Once went before the Com
missiOners to get the valuation house reduced,
and said TO them, believe you value at sixty per
cent. That would make the house worth $50 900
Ii one OF you will give me $4,000 you may have
it, You may deposit $1,000 and | will take
mortgage for the balance They stated that, the
books having been closed, they unable
TO reduce the valuation. but told them would
attend to future valuations in person. My impress
sion Is that the valuation OF the Commissioners is
final; that the Committee on Taxes and ASSESS
ments have no power to reopen the books, and II
they cannot, certainly this special committee have
no such power"
"Weil, the prospect Is that the combination will
keep your Police Justice nominations on the table
all Summer"
~ suppose So" responded the Mayor, apparently
unconcerned and resigned.
"Have you heard whether any proceedings are
likely to he taken by any one to compel the Alder
men to give their reasons before the court iOr not
acting upon them"
~ have not. IL is certain that l shall not take
any action looking to such inquiry"

POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.

Referring to General Buffers strength among
the political papers in Massachusetts, the Spring
field Republican anti Butler) says:-'Outsde OF a
few not very influential publications attached to
reformed civil service the General has no friends
in the party press" e4
'When this tide OF opposition to the salary grab
rises to its full height" says the Lansing (Mcn.)
Journal, sit will Overwhelm the President, ana
therefore it must pe defended because the Presi-
dent must be defended"
''The republican papers," says the Lawrence
(Kansas) Standard ''are afraid that the democrats
may get behind the grangers. The republicans are
striving very hard to get before and in the way of
the grangers. we advise the republicans that the
farmers forward movement Is a vigorous one, and
that they (the farmers) wear heavy progans."
Says the Lawrence (Kansas Republican Jour-
ndl:-'The democratic papers offlcously assure the
farmers that in any political enterprise they un-
dertake they will have the democratic party behind
them. This reminds one OF the position Of Mickey g
horse in the scrub race 'Bedad,' said the cheer
full owner OF the steed, he's drivin everything be-
fore him."
The Detroit Tribune predicts that those members
of Congress who fondly hope that the public indg-
nation with regard to the back-pay bounty jump
will prove ephemeral will find out their mistake to
their cost.
The Geneseo Qll.) Republic remarks that what
with the credit Mobilier, the salary grab, the un-
just discrimination against the country press, it
would not be strange ii there were quite change
in the personnel Of the next Congress alter the
forthcoming one
ale returned his back pay and met his Creator
with clear conscience" is the solemn conclusion
OF obituary a deceased Western Congress
man.
