ALDERMAN o'REILLY UNEASY IN HIS SEAT.

AT the meeting of the Common Council yesterday
afternoon in Brooklyn, the matter OF stree-hghtlng
was again discussed, and the claims of the advo-
Gates of the use of naphtha whose project was vetoed
by MAYOR Howell two weeks ago, were finally dis
posed Of by vote of IS TO I in favor Of lighting
the streets with gas. Resolutions were passed in
opposition to the Tunnel bill" Of DR.. Hayes now
before the Assembly.
A message from the Mayor was read vetoing the
resolut. on of the Board directing the Corpora
tiou Counsel to prosecute the appeal from the
decisiou of Judge Gilbert declaring the seat OF
Alderman O'Reilly, Of the Twelfth Ward, vacant.
Alderman Kenna moved that the Corporation
Counsel be directed to state why he had appealed.
Tpon This motion Alderman ORelly spoke, pro-
testing against the question OF his right to a seat
beiug brought up every week, claiming that even
tbe Mayor had no night 10 interfere with the action
OF the CORPORATION Counsel. In TetOrtlng Alderman
Kcnna charged O'Rellly with changing his vote on
fine appointment Of Mr.. Cunningham as member Of
The Board of Education in 1878, III obedience TO "a
whisper. The latter then called upon Alderman
MCINTYRE to state the circumstances OF the case
lie said that Mr O'Rcilly asked him TO oppose Gun
ninQhatu and afterward 10 vote for him. 1heTcupon
Mr.. O'Reilly sprang To his feet and eXcltedly de-
uouuced the statement as falsehOOd. Alderman
NcIntyre. with his hand above his head, declared
'befofe Goa that what he SAID was the truth Ihe
matter was finally laid on the table

Ms. State Register.

An attempt is being made, but lame
one. to excuse Secretary Sherman's indul-
gance to the First National Bank of New
York. 1t is said it is not true that the
four per cents have been turned over to
the banks without security, as the govern
ment holds ample security for the entire
amount handed to the banks, the bonds
being delivered only in such sums as the
banks require from time to time for sale.
This explanation is true to this extent:
That Secretary Sherman has idle in the
vaults of the treasury, undelivered, $20,-
100000 of four per cents. for which the
First National Bank of New York sub
scribed; but the syndicate, with zeal
commendabie on their part, have cut the
coupons off and have realized the interest
This so-called security is good deal ike
the Dutchman's one per cent. Secretary
Sherman can twist his transactions with
the First National Bank any way he plea
ses to suit the public eye; but the fact will
remain, nevertheless, than he is at the
mercy of the bank.
