How the City Government is Admins
tered.
York official, under what is left of
Tweedism, has never been sounded.
Let me tell you q true story. A
store on Broadway, hardly a stones
throw from the Post Office, was en-
livened yesterday by the visit of
deputy-sheriff. with an execution for
debts of the firm whose business the
present owners bought, and he pro-
posed to levy on the office furniture
tor a debt of the old firm; and the
fact that it belonged to the new head
of the house, personally, and that the
new firm was not holden for the old
in any way, did not alter the pertin-
acity of the deputy. Even when
these facts were made known, he in
sisted he should levy.
"My dear sir" said the sheriff,
pleasantly, 81 will tell you how this
can be settled very easily. 1t you
will just pay me my foes, / will
make return no effects found, and it
will be all right"
"But | won't do any such thing"
retorted the indignant merchant.
"Messrs. Blank g. Blank don't own
any furniture here, and Eve no more
business to pay you than the man
across the street"
"You had better pay the money,
and get rid of the trouble" persua~
sively said the deputy. ''All | want
is my fees, and if you can make
them secure"
"Get out of here, and 60 to Hall.
fax,' roared the merchant; "and If
you don't leave in minute, I'll send
for policeman, and have him put
you out"
"My dear sir,' said the deputy,
coolly, show are you going to help
yourself? What is to hinder me from
lsvying on any of this furniture l
choose to take?'
500 So" was the answer; "and III
send after you, and have it replevin-
ed in five minutes"
sAhI but before you could get out
replevin, could put the things
where you would never find them,
and what would you do to help your
self? Perhaps you'd sue Sheriff
Connor?" and again came the impu-
dent question, How are you going
to help yourself2"
This is q faithful statement of what
took place in the office of one of tho
most respectable and respected bust
ness men in the city. There isn't
ANYTHING so rotten in the world as
the administration of law in this city
since the courts and the officials
passed under Tweed's hands. There
is no responsibility anywhere, and
an officer here has nearly as much
range as an Arab official. When
Helmbold's storeon Broadway passed
into the hands of the sheriff the en-
tire stock, valued at over 5000,
was partly stolen outright, and the
balance was eaten up in costs, the
creditors only got few thousand
dollars out of the whole of it. There
was a vast amount of valuable goods
that never appeared on the invoice,
and which the sheriff's officers could
tell all about. 1t is a common thing
for them to find some case of imput-
ed irregularity, and to arrest the
party and hold him, till be pays, rot
the claim that may be against him
that is always compromised for
little or nothing-but the costs. The
officers hunt up the case, make the
arrest, act as go.between. make the
compromise, but mercy what long
list of fees they havel They all gel
rich. Speaking OF

NEW YORK MATTERS.
A Broadway Fasm-sheriff's Omcefs-Crszy
Patent Medicine Men-The suffering Poor.
Geld Hunting

From our own Correspondent.
New York, January 20, 1877.
A Broadway Farm.
Stewart, Aston and Vanderbilt are
gone, and now the richest represen-
tative of the old families is Peter
Goelet, an eccentric old bachelor
who lives on the corner of Broadway
and nineteenth street, 10 the most
expensive section of the street. Goe
let's wealth is estimated at from
twenty TO thirty millions, the most
of it having been made by his great
grandfather and grandfather in the
hardware trade. 1t is the old sto-
ry. A French emigrant commenced
the hardware trade before the rev.
olution, and by hard work made
money. Every dollar made was in
vested in farming lands mile or
more from the store down town, and
for three generations this mas been
the rule. What were farming lands
then is covered with six story bull
dings now, and what the first Goelet
bought for twenty dollars an acre is
worth to-day hundreds of thouands.
There are two left Of them, Peter,
the bachelor, being the best known.
He occupies several lots on the corr
ner of Nineteenth Street and Broad
way for residence the property be-
ing worth, probably, two hundred
thousand dollars, and he keeps it
that he may have room for COW,
a dozen guinea hens, stork or two,
and fine lot of chickens. ''Uncle
Peter" as he is called, has passion
for this kind of farming, and be keeps
this splendid property idle that he
may indulge his whim He doesn't
put dollar into pictures and books,
he hasn't single piece of sculpture
he never travels or sees anything; new
er take parts in any pu bile enter
prise but the money that other
men put into such things he squan-
ders On his cow and chickens. Count
ing interest, it costs him twenty
thousand dollars year to keep that
COW, which makes the milk come, l
should suppose, at about dollar
drop. 1t is queer sight cow
feeding quietly in the busiest part of
New York. But this is Goelet's
whim, and perhaps is as sensible as
many other mems whims. He is
over seventy and has not q child to
cave his vast estate to. His nephews
and neces are all very rich, butas they
nave not Uncle Peters, quiet tastes,
hey will not object to adding his
Millions to their own.

From The Chilean O Tribune.

There have been no political assassina-
-tions of colored Republicans 10 South
Carolina or Louisiana since Hayes an
nounced his southern policy of peace and
reconciliation between the two races. Is
this not the reason why such machine
organs as the Des Moines Register and
Detroit Post are abusing and traducing
the president? They wanted the killing
of the blacks to go on lively, as it fur
nished them political capital whereby they
could get upon their hind legs and howl
and tear their hair in well simulated rage.
1t kept such chaps in office, and made
people regard them as useful patriots.
Now their occupation is gone. Hense
these howls at Hayes.

THOSE who have suffered from the various and

Catarrh, and have tried many physicians and
remedies without relief or cure, await the answer
TO this question with considerable anxiety. And
well they may; for no disease that can be men

THE GERMAN CATHOLICS CENTRAL
ASSOCIATION.
Its Position in Regard to Public Schools.

CLEVELAND. O., May 23.-In the Ger
man Catholics Central Association, third
days session, the committee on school sys
tenn reported as follows:
First, Catholics do not fight the school
system now in existence, but leave it to it
self and its own developments; but they
think the best solution of the school ques
ton under the circumstances now in exist
ence is to bring their pupils to the highest
possible perfection, SO that they will not be
unequal but equal to others
! Second. Catholics should make their own
schools free schools if possible. 10 that
means they should see that all children in
Catholic schools should get instruction
gratis. The best means to accomplish it
would be the starting of school societies in
all Catholic communities. which shall fur
nish the necessary funds for the support
of such schools. The members of the cen
trail association pledge themselves to work
| with the utmost zeal for establishing and
supporting school societies,
Third, Statistical reports on Catholic
school matters in our country are desira-
ble. to always have full knowledge of the
status of the schools.
The report was unanimously adopted
without debate. On motion the executive
mmittee was instructed to take the neces-
sary steps for the incorporation of an asso-
citation.
The committee on printing recommended
and it was adopted, that the societies
should be urged to support vereinsbate.
