the Brooklyn Investigation

NEW YORK, May 12
a special committee of the BROOKLYN al
dermen today submitted majority and mi
nority reports of the investigation into tho
affairs of the East river bridge. The for
mer, after making lengthy synopsis OF
the evidence taken, says that all material.
used in the construction were of the best
quality, furnished at favorable prices that
the desirable requirements in the quality OF
the construction, and cost of such on the
enterprise, has been fully met that there
appears no evidence of fraud, and that
all the evidence points clearly to the
economical management of the funds of
inc company, unless the 12500O paid VIM.
Z. Kingsley for salary as general superin-
tendent, should be regarded as an exccp-
ton, and upon this the committee saw they
are not called to pass Judgement. The
majority conclude by recommending n
larger representation of the two cities in
the board OF directors. The minority report
suggests necessity of legislative committee.
which shall go to the bottom of what upon
its face appears gigantic speculation, and
IL Is public disgrace that an appeal for a
legislative committee investigation was de-
feated by Henry c. Murphy, president of
the bridge company and the gentlemen who
represent it in the state legislature. and
says the committee has not once visited the
Office OF the company to examine its ac-
counts. 1t has made no statement of ser
vices rendered by any employees. 1t has
not measured or compared the price of the
material. 1t has employed no experts to
examine quality and quantity of the works.
1t has not subpoened persons from whom
tbs company has purchased two million
dollars worth of supplies TO relate their
transactions with the company. 1t has
not examined tfc value of land taken. il
has not examined the law under which it
has been clearly shown that it was
possible for the bridge company to pay
one dollar or hundred dollars for stone.
The minority report expresses the belief
that in the hands of the present ring twen-
millions is the probable cost of the bridge.
for which the original estimate was six
millions, and concludes with resolutions
covering request to the legislature to
amend the bridge charter so no member of
the company be interested directly or indi-
rectly in the furnishing of supplies.
All the meetings of the company will be
public, and that all supplies amounting to
over $4,000 to be purchased upon bids adj
yertised for ten days in the four principal
New York and three Brooklyn papers, and
to appoint committee with full power to
investigate all affairs of the company until
which time or until the management of
the company has passed into other hands,
the city of Brooklyn should assume no fur
ther liabilities on account of the bridge

The Louisiana Trouble.

WASHINGTON, May 10.
The president has received no telegram
from Gov Kellogg since last Friday, when
the condition of affairs was represented as
somewhat improved, while there is no
doubt that the president would intervene to
prevent the state from domestic violence
should the governor make application to
him for that purpose, and provided the
facts should warrant such proceedings. 1t
is nevertheless the hope of the president, as
he expressed himself to a friend tonight,
that all disturbances would soon cease, and
that no such contingency as that contem-
plated by the constitution would occur;
but If it unfortunately should, he would
take care to act clearly within the limit of
the constitution, and that heretofore he had
merely waited the decision of the courts.

INTERESTING GENERAL NEWS.


WASHINGTON, May 10.
Rev. Dr. Tiffany delivered discourse
in which he read an extract from letter
written by Mr.. Chase on the subject of the
| Presidency, in which he said he did not
desire the Presidency or nomination, nor
did he know with his views whether he was
a suitable candidate, and yet the minister
remarked that IN impression prevailed that
Mr.. Chase was a disappointed politician
1t was undeniablo that no man saw in his
acts any indications of querelousnes and
bitterness, but the opposite he was kind to
all, pure, prticnt and upright judge and a
christian gentleman. 1t would be found
that his blamcless private life was rendered
more conspicuous by his official position.
No acts of his life need conceament as
his character was without bemish.
Scandulous attacks have been made on
public men and perhaps many of them
were innocent but none have attempted to
tarnish the reputation of the deceased, and
his name goes down to posterity without
reproach to courteous bearing he SUI
peraddcd christian conversation. He
was great among men but is a child before
his father in heaven. Lincoln the mar
tyred president, was followed by Stanton,
the Iron Secretary of War, and Seward the
Polished Secretary of State followed not
long ago and now another leaves us. His
death hastcned by his arduous labors as the
Secretary of the treasury, remember
ing his life and his sudden de-
cease, may we not say that
My father, the chariot of Israel and the
horscmcn thereof, and dcvoutly pray that
his falling mantle may rest on one chosen
of God. The minister then concluded with
prayer, when it was announced thut fur
ther services would be performed at the
ccmctary. Under the direction of the
Marshal the procession was reformed and
moved to Oak Hill cemctary, where the
remains will be temporarily inferred.
There were about eighty carriages in the
procession, mostly private, the President
and Cabinet and foreign ministers occu-
pying their own. Thousands of persons
were on the streets us spectators.
The bar of the Court of Claims Ehcd a |
meeting to-day, Chief Justice Drake in the
chair and passed resolutions of respect to |
the late Chief Justice.

The Musical Festival.

The rehearsal Monday night developed
the benefits of the training our singers have
had from Mr.. Mietzke, and led us as we
listened to the twenty-five or more pleasant
voices to feel regret that an economy not
very commendable, has induced the re-
linquishment of the teaching of music in
our public schools, thus causing the loss of
kind of instruction possessing refining
influence, and capable of aifording pleasure
throughout life.
The leader, Monday night, Mr.. Carl Ter
RAIN, has worldwide celebrity. His
management of the chorus was perfect,
and his own voice treat to hear. The
drilling was severe, and the effect rapidly
manifest. Our citizens have very enjoy
able week before them.

day, May sth. They were married at
Whitehall, then known as Skecnsborough,

neighbors and friends of the couple as well
as by their numerous relatives and descen-
dants. One pleasing incident of the even
ing was the presentation of n gold finger
ring to the bride by her brother, Joseph

Final PreparatiOns.

The final preparations for the festival
were made yesterday, and the hall presents
very attractive appearance Time and
exertion have not been spared, and our la
dies may well feel gratified by the elegant
appearance of the hall. None who have
seen it fail to speak of it in the highest
terms. The decorations are all arranged
with skill and care, and evince culture and
taste Hanging baskets of flowers are sus-
pended from the festoons, and at either end
of the orchestra are placed elegant pyra-
mids of plants and flowers, while in the
center are large urns of cut flowers that by
their fragrance and beauty add very much
to the effect. The flowers and plants are
from the green houses of Gen. III. ii. Bax-
ter and MIR. Chas. Sheldon, and furnish a
worthy example of the liberality of these
gentlemen. Through circumstances over
which we had no control, the name of the
great composer "Bach" turned up as Bergh
In yesterdays issue. Now we were think
ing of Bach when we wrote the article,
and supposed his name would appear all
right, but 1t seems 1t didn't. People as a
general thing like to be called by their own
names in fact, most men have a weakness
that way. Smith may be good name, but
Jones had rather be called Jones than
Smith, even If Smith be directly descended
from John Smith of Pocahontas fame, Sc
peculiar are men. Again, Bergh may be
a musical composer, but if he is, it has not
been noised about much and we think we
may safely say he's not one of the "world's
masters" As president of the society fol-

success, and the only compositions he is
guilty of, to our knowledge, are couched
in the severest prose and directed to horse
