ASSISTANT C1rY Ar enyry.s FEES.

An ordinance was Presented at the meeting Of
tho City Council yesterday providing for the
payment OF s2 10 to Samuel ?. Blanc for pro
fessional SER does rendered the city during the
year 1877. The passage of the ordinances was
oppose,dby Mr.. MeCaifrey, who desired to know
by whose authority Mr.. Blanc had been en-
ployed He said that he was aware Of the
fact that Mr.. Blanc had rendered professional
services, but did not think that the city should
compensate him for work performed when the
City Attorney and his assistant were away on
q pleasure trip.
In reply to these remarks, Mr. Brown stated
that the city had instructed Mr. Blanc to at
tend to the unfinished suits which were In his
hands while acting assistant city attorney ,
besides, he has attended to q great deal OF
business for the city during the entire year.
Mr.. ReDgstorff said that Mr. Blanc had at
tended to matters In the Department Of As
sessments for great length OF time during
last year.
The ordinance was finally laid over until
the next meeting.

SUPERIOR CRIMINAL COURT.

Some time since n card was published In the
DEMOCRAT by Mr.. Alex. Br,ineaii, stating that
one Of the members OF the present Grand
Jury was under indictment and criminal,
and should not occupy the position as d mem
Der of that body. The members Of the Grand
Jury have investigated the charges contained
In the card, and ON yesterday nude report
to Judge Whitaker, stating that they had In
vestigated the charges and they were satisfied
that they were without foundation. Further.
that no member on the jury was under indict-
graduated them upon making q thorough
investigation OF the charges, and expressed
himself as much pleased at the manner In
which they have performed their arduous
duties. The report was received.
ABOUT THE JURY COMMISSIONERS.
The counsel for the defense In the cases of
II. @. Harris, recently convicted OF the crime
OF srnbezzlement, have challenged the array
Of jurors as illegally organized. Counsel con-
tend that act No 30 Of 1867, under which the
jury was impanneled, is unconstitutional, as
It gives the district judges other than judicial
functions in the appointment OF jury commits
sloners, thereby violating the constitution OF
1868.
Judge. Whitaker yesterday morning rem
dsred q lengthy decision, In which he says:
That the jury must be impanneled under act
Nc 127 Of 1879, the get creating the Superior
Criminal Court. The jury commissioners
must fill the wheel WITH the names of 1000
qualified jurors, draw from them every month
forty EIGHT jurors, and when o grand jury be
selected seventy, fifty-four OF which shall be
impanneled as petit jury, which has not
been complied with this month" The court.
therefore, overrules the challenge.

PENNUEL, THE CLUBBER.
His Brutal Treatment to Men and women.

1t is q singular fact yet nevertheless a true
one, that Officer Pennuel, of the Third Pre-
cinct, cannot land a prisoner In the station
house without putting marks Of violence on
him, yet the Police Board, whenever this Off
Ger has appeared before them, have, in
measure, upheld him, and the result is that
Pennuel has become 80 bold that he not only
maltreats men, but clubs women.
Within the last forty-eight hours the knight
OF the club has caused blood to flow from no
less than three unfortunates who were unable
to keep out of his way. In the clubbing busi-
ness Pennuel Is an expert, yet he does not
club everybody; he merely beats and abuses
people who have no influence, as he feels GER
tain that their evidence will have but little
weight with the gentlemen who are appointed
to Judge him as policeman.
On Sunday Pennuel brought to the Third
Station a man named Thos. Murphy, who
was bloody from head to foot The man al
legged that Pennuel had dubbed him, and as
yet the officer has not refuted the charge.
At O'Clock Tuesday morning this same Of
ficer, as it is said, without cause or provoca-
tion, walked UP to an old colored woman
named Alice Nelson, and struck her brutal
blow in the face with his club. The woman's
face presents a horrible appearance and she
has not been able to eat anything since
When Pennue1 struck the woman, man
named Eugene eraser crossed over to the
scene of the difficulty and demonstrated with
the officer regarding his action, and Graser's
reward was blow from Pennuels club,
which brought him to earth with an open

THE CHARITY HOSPITAL.

Another visit paid to the Charity Hospital
buildings are being actively pushed. Already
the two-story brick buildings on Common
street present a handsome appearance, In d
glossy coat OF sandstone colored paint. On
the roof of the main edifice score OF busy
workmen were engaged In laying new states
stopping the leaks and altering the cornices
and preparing to change the cupola. Inside
the floors of the lower story were being taken
up, new posts laid, and ceilings cleaned, to be
shortly kalsemined. The Sisters de-
partments are undergoing similar altera-
tions. The workmen are about fifty In num-
Der, including painters mechanics, slaters
ete. The main building, when repaired will
be painted dark sandstone color. All the
outbuildings the kitchen, wash-house etc.
are to overi1auled: The repairs in contennpla..
tion are 50 extensive that an appropriation of
100000 will barely cover the actual dlsburse-
ments. 1t Is hoped that before next July the
Charity Hospital will be one Of the handsom-
est public institutions Of the State.
Next TO the ironing g-room there is a queer
little steam apparatus, which, by means Of an
ingenious system Of bands and rollers, drives

The rooms and wards are kept In perfect

in number, attend to the whole domestic
economy OF the hospital. It would be useless
to give o minute account Of this institution,

THE Mo ALLTsTER,
Hopes stiII Entertained of the ultimate
safety of the Crew.

Major J. w. Howell Of the United States
Engineer Corps, In answer to queries from a
DEMOCRAT reporter concerning the fate Of the
dredgeboat McAllister, said that probably
the vessel, unable to weather the storm, had
been driven by the wind to the Campeachy
coast, where she may have made fast, and the
crew escaped in tho lfeboats. The latter
were very strong. and had undergone strict
examination previous to the McAllister's de-
parture. AS to the pieces of wreck picked up
at sea by the United States cutter Mclean,
the Major doubts If they really belonged to
the lost vessel. Though the pieces were re-
cognized as such by Capt Shepard, Major
Howell will not be convinced of the fact until
he himself sees and examines them carefully.
He says that barnacles do not attach them
selves to newly painted and smooth surfaces.
AS the companionway Of the McAlister one
United States cutter Mclean, has lately re-
ceived fresh coat OF paint, 1t may be
presumed that it did not belong to the
missing vessel. Even IL the dredgeboat had
that the crew saved themselves in the
lifeboats, and some of them may now be on
their way home, which journey will necessa-
rily be long one, through part Of the coun-
try unknown to them.
There is still room for hope until the arrival
OF the steamship City of Mexico, plying be-
tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz This YES
sci left here on or about Friday last, and is
expected back in a few days, when, probably,
she may throw some light on the subject by
bringing tidings of the missing dredgeboat.
There is, consequently, good reason to hope
that some OF those given up as drowned will
eventually reach their homes and lift the
weight OF sorrow and apprehension which
Expresses the hearts Of so many loving wives

At The Opera House last eveBlng Mr.. Du-
rands French Company presented "Bebe" for
the first time in this city In Its original form,
to IN excellent house. On some other oeea-
sion we will take pleasure In referring to 1t
more particularly. To-day, ut tho matinee,
we hope to see large audience, for the exqui-
site comedy Of "Mlle. de Ia Seigliere'' will be
presented.
Tomorrow an extraordinary performance
will be given for the benefit Of Mr. Bouteloup,
of the Durand troupe. The programme will
comprise Bebs'' and " LIE Chapeau dun HOr-
logger" During an interlude, Mrs. Marital
will sing the grand air from the " Dragon Gle
Villars." Such programme ought TO draw a
fine house, especially when the talent OF the
beneficiary Is considered. We hope that the
Opera House will be crowded.
AfMEK.
Aimee sang and played In excellent style
last evening through the two first acts Of s'La
Jolie Parfumeuse,' which was rendered very
handsomely ut the Varieties last evening.
Towards the end Of the opera she, however,
manifested fatigue but rallied, and sang and
danced "She's as Pretty as q Picture" with un-
usual sprightliness, and necessarily brought
down the house with the pretty satire. We
missed Duplan In the character OF "La Cocar-
diere," which was, nevertheless, well rendered
by Mr.. Castel.
Mile. Mario made charming Bavoet. but
lacked somewhat I'm that vivacity for which
French opera boufTe singers are remarkable.
Mr.. Mollard the tenor OF the company. made
his debut as Poirot. The part does not afford
much opportunity for display OF talent, aud
compels us to defer an appreciation of Mr..
Molard's voice to another day
We cannot close this short notice without
com mplimenting Aimee for the admirable man
ner I'm which she sang the duet with Mario in
the second act. In point of style and express
sion it was worth all the rest Of the opera put
together-be IL said. without the least inten-
tion to depreeiate the value Of the efforts Of the
other performers Of the company. Tonight
BARRIE BLEUE
will be sung for the first time in this city In
five years, with Aimee in the rolicking role Of
"Boulotte." The score we apprehend, Is
little low for Aimee, but we have never seen
her fail In anything she attempted.
THE MATINEE
will consist of "La File de Madame Angot 3"
with Duparc as Clairette.

Academy Of Music. There will be the usual
