NEW JERSEY CHARTERS,

Progress OF the jersey City Charter Bill
In the Lcgislature-Thc Second Read
ing Observation-Disclosures To BE Tinkcred
Also.
Washburn's bill amending the charter OF Jersey
City came up last night In the New Jersey Legisa.
ture which entailed considerable discussion, par
ticipated in by Messrs. McGi and Sheeran In oppo.
sision and Carscallen ana Coombs In advocacy of
the measure. Several amendments offered by Mr..
McGM were rejected by strict party vote. One
was adopted giving the Mayor the power OF veto
on matters relating to the Board or Public Works
and the Board OF Finance. Mr.. McGill
urged in forciDle language the right OF Jer-
sey City to selfgovernment and said 1t was
downtrodden by commissions. Mr.. Carscaen
warmly advocated government by commissions,
although he admitted there was o loud clamor for
q peoples government. Mr.. Sheeran, In an able
statistical argument, showed that tue debt OF Jer-
sey City was VERSUS, 000, 900, and that every
commissioner now In office In that city was
tainted by Indictment, and that one OF them had
been In the state Prison.
He moved p0stponement OF the question, IN
order that opportunity might be given to offer
amendments and have fair and impartial con-
sheraton Of the subject. An amendment, pro-
viding Tor the election OF the Board of Public
Works by the people, was lost by 10 to rs. Several
motions to adjourn were lost. The bill ulti-
mately passed Its second reading.

THE CINCINNATI CITY RING.

Corporation FinnncierinK for the New
Park Grounds-How $4,000 was
Transferred and to Whom-Spicy Per-
sonnlities During an Investigation.
CINCINNATI Feb. 20, 1874.
Cincinnati has little Tammany, all OF its own,
just now and Is enjoying it all round. The dis
cOvery that $3.50 were paid to grease the Burnet
Woods Park through the City Council is nothing
unusual; 1t is only the distinguished men
whose names have appeared as con-
nected with 1t tnat imparts interest to
it, Theodore Cook, who transferred the $685. 900. is
President Of the Fourth National Bank in this
city. He is also an ex-President OF the Chamber
OF Commerce. He Is leader in society and ng-
ures prominently in local politics. The Hon. Will
lam F. Groesbeck, who paid half Of the money,
enjoys national reputation and Is generally re-
garded as good democratic presidential timber.
Charles Kahn, who received the money, is q
wealthy Israelite, who made great deal OF money
by government contracts during the war. He
served good while In the City Council and knew
its ways AS for the rest OF the names they are
less, men OF tainted reputation in the community.
The case Is spicy on account OF the
PERSONALITIES WHICH WERE EVOLVED
during the investigation. Mr. John Mclean, man
aging editor or the Cincinnati Enquirer, appears
witness against the ring to get even with some Of
them and s represented by some OF the witnesses
as calling them "dogs" In private conversations
and trying hire some OF them to write the thing
up for his paper at their own price, which they
"cOuid not see." Mr.. Mclean takes the stand and
swears that all that was drunken talk, and so be-
tween them all great deal OF dirt and rascality
are gradually coming to light.
CITY DEBT-HOw 1T ACCUMULATEs.
The city has floating debt now Of over ST. 100 900,
the greater part OF which has been sunk in rotten
jobs IN the name OF improvements While this Is
going on discovery Is made by a committee of
investigation in the constitutional Convention
that enormous prices have been paid by the Sec
rotary OF State for the legislative stationery at
Columbus the habit being to advertise for bids
In the little country papers around the capital,
which are seldom seen by the large dealers and
manufacturers, compelling, it Is alleged, the
popular inference that while the little local dealers
mOnopolize che contracts there Is much fat that
the officials are either egregiOus asses Tor not
getting some Of 1t or the most sly and accom-
pushed Of cOrruptiOnists.

THE LOCOMOTIVE BROTHERHOOD,

General Railroad Strike Said to BE
Under DiscussiOn-A Star Chan Con-
vention.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb 26, 1874.
The Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers was
in session again to-day. The meetings are being
involved in mystery, so TAR as the public
is concerned all the delegates being
sworn to the severest secrecy, and only
rumors can be given, though some of these
rumors have been substantiated by words that
have fallen from some of the delegates In casual
conversation. 1t Is generally understood That
there Is great disafection among the members of
the Council, ana warm discussion Is going on
over the question OF STRIKES and that the extrem.
lists have controlling influence in the Conven.
ton The fact Of the unwillingness of the delegates
to reveal anything in relation to the action
OF the Convention Is very suspicious on
Its face, and tends to increase the conviction
that there Is trouble ahead TOR the railroads, ana
this idea Will be entertained until the officers shall
deem It necessary to give the absolute situation OF
Affairs The headquarters OF the Brotherhood Will
still be OF Cleveland. and Mr.. Arthur will assume
the editorial management Of their monthly period
ical under the control OF the Brotherhood.

special despatch, dated Sherman, says pri-

INST, received there states that the expedition
which is now in the act of leaving that point is
fitted out for four weeks journey. Four COM
psnies have already started and three more are
leaving, including fifty Seminole and Tonkawanna
scouts, guides and interpreters.
The exact destination OF the expedition is I'M
known; but as Indians are quitting Mexico in for
midable numbers and gathering on the Pecos
River 1t Is thought the movement will be upon the
villages some 800 miles from here.
Reinforcements which will be sent forward will
only follow McKenzie's trail and see but little OF
