Magistrates and Constabies.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE INvESTI-
eating COMMITTEE
AT the session OF the Legislative committee to
investigate magistrates, &c, yesterday, several
complaints were made after our report closed.
Buckly W. Hayes testified that about three CT
four weeks since he was summoned by Consta-
BILE Danaher to appear before Justice Moulton
to answer the claim of one Adams, partner of
witness in several Jobs of bricklaying; witness
was sick IN bed at the time, and told the consta-
Bile that the claim was an unjust one; the con
stable left, saying it would come on for trial
about the next Wednesday, and he would call
again before that time, and ascertain If witness
was better and able to attend to the case IL e
following Monday Danaher called again when
witness was at work, and left word for him to
appear that night at O'Clock; this was sooner
than he expected, and he was not ready for
trial; went to Justice MoultOn and asked him
to continue the case, as he (witness) could not
get his witnesses that night; the justice refused
had time enough; the Justice heard both state
ments, end rendered Judgment against witness
for about $50; witness thinks that on a fair set
Element with Adams he might possibly have
owed him 49, $40, which he could have proved
If he had been allowed time to secure wit
nesses.
MIR. r. j. Mcclellan testsfed relative to the
case OF Samuel Huntress, who it will be remem-
bered was arrested by T. F. Gatchel, president
OF the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals, on the charge of working his horses
when in an unfit condition for labor. Witness
had been among horses for some time, and
thought that those in question were in a good
condition, and would be benefited rather than
injured by little exercise; had worked one of
MI: Huntress' horses himself, and the lame one
had slight protrberance upon one knee that
made him awkward in his gait, but never sup
posed he suffered excruciating pain from it, was
surprised to hear that the driver had been ar
rested; never knew Huntress to overload or in
any manner i'll treat or abuse his animals; had
known him to refuse to work his horses when a
slight rain was falling; If corruption was oozing
from the foot of horse relief would be obtained
by exercise.
James A. Jenifer. formerly superintendent of
streets in the 10th district under General Bal
Ioch, testified that he had frequently hired Mr..
Huntress horses to do work for him. and
thought them to be in a good condition His
other testimony was corroboratiy We of that giv
by the previous witness.
The case of Florian Frederick's land was
taken IN this morning, and will probably last
two days or lore. valuable sand bar Is in
Guided in this tra..t. and the testimony is as to
its value, &c.

Tor the arrest Of !ourg man named Writ Tur-
ner charged with the murder Of George j.
DerbyshiIe, a companion Of his, on the 18th OF
August, at Hollywood, near Richmond. From
the statement made by Mr.. Wood, il appears
that there was party of ten boys together,
cunning; that there was only one gun In the
Iarty, and that IL was loaded with bird-shot;
that dispute arose between these two young
men, which growing pretty Yarn, Turner
seized the gun and Ciseh Iarged its contents into
the chest and stomach Of Derbyshire, killing
Sim on the spot, The act was witnessed by all
the boys in the party, also by two colored wo-
men, who saw il from their shantiss neay by.
Turner, becoming frightened a. what he had
done, he'd TO this city, and was arrested this

Yesterday Officers Lawler and Scott, of the
fourth precinct, were called upon to arrest two
young men, named Richard X. MOrehead and
Charles Russell, on the charge Of attempting to
Commit an outrage on little girl about years
OF age, named Blanche Taylor, daughter of MI.
n. T.. Taylor, living at 133 Pennsylvania avenue.
1t appears that the little girl was playing in the
street, IN front OF her parents residence, and il
Is charged that she was enticed to the rear of
house No. rs Pennsylvania avenue by the ae-
cused, who told her that there was music in the
back room OF the house, and when they got
there attempted the crime, but the screams of
the little girl led to her rescue by her parents;
and that the accused then fed to the stables of
the Metropolitan railroad company, where they
concealed themselves until found by the officers
Morehead Is clerk in q cigar store in the rear
OF which the attempt was alleged to have been
made, but closed up the shop as soon as the
alarm vas given and left. The two prisoners
were locked up. and this morning were brought
: INTO the Police Court, when Mrs, DR.. lockwood
appeared for them as their counsel and waived
an examination, 50 that the ir case might come
before the higher court. The court fixed the
bonds at Al 600 each. They are both about l6
years Of age, and look as II they had been gem
teely raised.

The report describes the system at length.
Closets are arranged - that shutter AZ the
back or side can be raised for the admittance
or removal Of q tub under the seat. In this citv
the asphaltum barrels can be used for this purs
pose. Iron handles are attached, and rim il
Inside to receive clese fitting cover, which e
out on before removal. This tub Is ,,ssced in
a van divided into six or seven compartments,
each holding three or four tubs. The doors Of
the van 1T closely and allow no escape Of bad
odor. The pals in use are removed once week,
and replaced by clean ones supplied with SUM-
Gent liquid disinfectant to prevent the fermen-
tation and decomposition Of matter for another
week. A certain number OF duplicate pals are
owned by the corporation for replacement OF
the dirty ones, but only so many pals are re-
CURED by the corporations as the vans need for
one trip or exchange, and the clean pals carry
back the lids that are Afterwards transferred
to the full ones In the act of removal. The re-
moval OF the tubs Is done by the scavenger du-
ring working hours, and the neatness and facii-
ity Of the system is such that no nuisance what
ever is created, and no foul smell permitted TO
escape. During my inspection at Rochdale the
resident citizens assured me that though
the exchange 10 often done through their
houses, no smell ut all is left behind
