Laborsrs After Some Of the Contractors.

Laborers After Some Of the Contractors.
If the introduction of the Grahamite pavement
which, 1t is claimed, has given so much salts
faction in New York-ig attended in all instances
with the difficulties which have come from laying
q short strip here, no doubt the president of the
company, General Averill, will think the specl-
men business is not altogether calculated to pro-
mote quietude of mind.
Messrs. Barbour and Desmith having applied
to the District Ommissoners for permission to
pat down the Grahamite on the plan Of the Neuf-
chatel in order to prove its superiority, the work
of destruction of the miserable old pavement at
the intersection Of Tenth street with PennsylVa-
mia avenue and the laying of the new was COM
menced some weeks since. After much Interrupt
tiOn of the work it was completed yesterday, and
seems to be n smooth, felted, elastic roadway.
But the final stroke was attended with some diff
Guilty in regard to the payment of the laborers,
causing much excitement in the vicinity by the
interested and uninterested.
Barber & Dayton, who contracted with the
lsborers, promised to pay up Saturday night, but
only a portion of the force was paid those who
were at work at the tar shed on Louisiana avenue
being favored above the street men. This caused
jealousy and violent accusations Of unfair treat
ment; add to this the fact that the accounts were
examined preparatory to payment yesterday, and
a dispute arose as to their correctness and the
time made by the men, and the contractors re-
fused to satisfy the demands of the Torkmen,
who became angry and threatened suit, and even
made inquiry in regard to attachable property.
One faction Of the men, however, offered a CON-
promise. and signifed their willingness to take
anytbiTg z they would give. This idea gained
ground very rapidly, and a large crowd of work.
men clamored for this arrangement, and followed
Mr.. Barber from Tenth street up to the jeWelry
store corner OF Eleventh and the Avenue, and
would not give him any rest on the subject. A
heterogeneous mass of humanity followed, and
the crowd increased so fast and the harangue
was so boisterous that the police found it neces-
sary to disperse the disturbers Of the peace.
They moved on up the street in more scat
tered condition, but continued to remind Barber
of their proposed adjustment, running the poor
fellow almost distracted. Arrived at Twelfth
street, he satisfied two or three OF the most
Troublesome creditors according to their own
terms, which was from one-third to one-half Of
the entire claim. Then q cart driver said that
be would take - for his claiuI, wrich amounted
to S., and by insisting on his proposition was
successful, and said he was perfectly satisfied
and was glad to get anything. This trouble
lasted all afternoon and closed about dusk, when
the labOrers went TO the Imperial hotel, where
some of the contracting parties hold forth, and
pressed their demands for settlement, but finally
they dispersed after some arrangement by which
they were satisfied they would have the money
in day or two.

HUNTING DOGS.
Plea for their Exemption from the Opera
tions of the Dog Law.


tions of the Dog Law.
According to an appointment made by the B Board
ofHealth at its regular session last Friday even
ing, a delegation from the sporting fraternity met
in conference with the ordinance committee of the
board at their rooms, a little after noon yester-
day to discuss the proprietY Of exempting hunting
dogs from the onerOus duty of Juggling muzzIe
about with them. There were three gentlemen
present to represent the sporting men: Col. Chas.
Alexander, Col. J. o. =. Burnside and Mr. Geo.
5. BigelOw.
The conference was opened by Prof. Langston,
who, leaning back in his chair, announced with
an assuring smile that the committee were ready
to hear what the gentlemen had to say.
Col. Alexander heightened out his tall form on
the other side Of the table, and bringing his FORE
fingers together in a persuasive triangle in front
of him. poured forth iervid appeal, mingling
elCquence and science in the same breath. He
did not plead he said, for the street mOngrel, but
for the hunting dog, the faYOrite of the ehaste
Diana dog perspired through its tongue and
1t was cruelty to bind up its mouth with a muZ-
Zle. He considered that there were erroneous
ideas ailoat On the subject Of hydrOphObia. 1t
did rot drop on dog suddenly, but grew upon 1t
would be sick and restless for long time, turn
ing tail upon its victuaIs, giving its old friends
the 60 by. and courting retirement. He did not
think that any animals ought to be allowed the
freedom OF the street, but he entered a plea for
the nOp-muZZling of hunting dogs, and Col
Alexander sank back in his seat, exhausted by
DIR. Bliss suggested that all dogs would be
called hunting dogs, but it was explained to him
that the term could be limited to pointers and
settlers.
Col. Burnside, finding an opportunity to say
something, Plaintfvely related the OF his two
dogs, which were sWeltering in a COOP back of his
stables, and which he had no opportunity to mt
for the approaching wOGdcock season.
DIR. Bliss believed that the object Of the ordi-
nance against dogs was to get rid of ours.
Mr.. Bigelow wanted the owners of hunting
dogs to have the same privileges as the owners
Of cattle who were permitted to drive their ami
mails through the streets.
DIR. Bliss suggested that the dogs would have
to be marked with ribbon or tag, so that the
poundmaster could recognize them as members
of the aristocracy, but his views were met with
ordinations Of wonder that any one could pos
sibly mistake hunting dog.
The conference had gradually subsided from
an eloquent opening to Babel of conflicting sug-
gestiOns, and, finally, ProG. Langston proposed
that the delegation embOdy their views In q COM
munication to the board, and the three gentlemen
gathered up their hats and slid down the stair
way, much pleased with the potency of their eIo-
queDce and the prospect Of unlimited freedom for
their dogs.
