The workingmen and Aldermen

The WOrkingmen and Aldermen.
At the meeting OF the Board OF Alder
men yesterday evening the Working
mems Committee presented the resolu
tions adopted by them at the Esplanade
meeting yesterday morning (and which
have appeared in the starr. They were
received and filed.
Soon after Mr.. ALI called for the City
Solicitor to inquire If the law for street.
repairing required contracting. The
City Solicitor replied that the Law
was mandatory, and 1t read as If it
meant that the law must be speedily ex-
ecuted. Mr.. ALI withdrew his objection.
Mr.. Rees said that irresponsible men
had bidlon contracts, and our municipal
experience was not that bonds for the
performance of obligations were worth
much, but precisely the contrary.
M. Gardner said the workingmen
not put fifty men at work. Mr.. Wink.
ler said that If the Geo. N. Pfaffinger who
was on the bond of Dauskell of the Sew
enth District was the George N. Pfaffin.
ger whom he knew, he was not worth
shucks on any mans bonds. MIR. Cald'
we'll, OF the Board Of Public Works,
said that the Board were careful to know
the bondsmen ana added that il the con-
tract was not made the Board would not
let the city go to ruin.
MIR. Biddle thought Council had no
right to interfere with these contracts,
either in approving or disappearing, lor
the law gave the full power to make
these contracts to the Board Of Public
Works. But as the action of Council
would vitiate nothing in The premises,
he would favor acting upon it and
confirming the contract. He said that
the Board had no money even now at
its disposal except the $25, 900 borrowed
under the act OF the Legislature in an
ticipation OF the taxes. Mr.. DIR said
that the whole $75 900 could be used in
the same way. Under the previous
question the resolutions to contract
with the bidders above named l0r i'm.
proving streets for five years in the
Fourth, Seventh, Seventeenth, Twen
tieth and Twenty first Districts, were
adopteu-yeas 16, nays 6.

for kilograms to Mcdonald, Joyce
and others. On the opening of the
OF the afternoon session, Judge Dillon
read the decision of the court. touch
ing the admissibiiily of the despatch
es, which was that they should be adj
mitted and given the jury. Three
hotel clerks then testified to having
received and recei pied for several des-
patches 10. Mcdonald and Joyce in
1874, mostly in December Manager
Brown, of the w. U. telegraph office
explained the management of his Of :
iice. and how kilograms are received
and transmitted therein. Col. Dyer
then read number of kilograms,
which We're admitted under the
Court's decision. In reading "a mes
sage to Babcock. over the signature o f
Grit" the defense objected, when
the Court inquired If any testimony
had been given concerning that des-
patch. and the defense said none ex
cept that contained in Dyer's opening
speech. Dyer said that despatch had
reference to Mcdonald taking $l01,-
600 to Washington. and that just be-
fore he did it this and other kilograms
passed between Babcock, Joyce and
Mcdonald that there was testimony
showing that he had been paid the
sum mentioned to take to Washing
ton, but none to show that he had
taken it there. The telegram, which
has not been passed upon by the court,
but is admitted TO be in Joyce's hand
writing, is addressed to Gen. Babcock,
and is as follows: "Tell Nc. to see
Parker, of Colorado, and telegraph
Commissioner to crush out St. Louis
enemies. Signed, Grit. !" A second
telegram is addressed TO Gen. McDon-
aid, at Washington, and reads: Don't
leave Washington until all things are
absolutely settled. Signed, John. -
A long argument then followed be-
tween the opposing counsel in refer
ence to admitting as evidence some
important kilograms between Commis-
sioner Douglass. Mcdonald, Avery
and Joyce, after which the court ad-
journed.
