RUMoRs ABOUT THE CITY HALL.
HUGH GARDENERS ELIGIBILITY FOR THE PoLI

HUGH GARDENERS ELIGIBILITY FOR THE POLICE
BOARD-RAlLwAY SCHEMES.
There was the usual number of political rumors
about the City Hall yesterday to what Mayor
Cooper would do to-day. II was said that the name
of Hugh Gardner would he sent to the Board of Al
dermen for Police Commissioner, but the rumor did
not come from any trustworthy source and was re-
garded as improbable. Several Aldermen said they
would not vote for Mr. Gardner under any circum-
stances. Others claimed that he is ineligible, as
section % of the City Charter provides that any
officer of the City Government who has been con-
victed of neglect of duty etc. shall. in addition to
the penalties imposed by law, and on conviction,
forfeit his Office and be excluded forever after from
receiving OF holding any Office under the CITY Gov
ernment. This clause, 1T was claimed, apples to
Mr.. Gardner, who was convicted and removed as
Police Commissioner because of violation of law.
Mr.. Gardner's friends, however, claim that the
clause does not affect him. because his conviction
was of technical violation OF the Election law.
appointed. Mayor Cooper hesitates as To whom he
will nominate, but it is improbable that any noni-
nation will be made to-day.
There was a rumor yesterday that the Broadway
railway scheme would be reported favorably IN the
Board to-day. There are two three of these
schemes now before the Street Committee where
they have rested for several months. They may
come up at any meeting. but the time Is SO short
before the official term of the present Board OF Al
dermen expires that it Is doubtful II any attempt
will be made to pass the Broadway railway scheme.
The Chambers Street Crosstown line and the extern
sion of the Forty second Street Railway will prob
ably como up.
Controller Kelly has not replied to the Mayors
last communication in regard 10 the salaries of the
Aldermen, aud IN the meantime they wait impa-
tiently for their pay IL Is said that an application

ONE OF THE UNIQUE MEASURES or THE EXTRA
SESSION CALLED UP AGAIN-THE REPUBLIcASs
FULLY MINDFUL OF TIE GAG PUT UPON THEM
BEFORE.
(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTBUNE-1
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1O.-ln the House to-day tho
bill ITO prohibit Federal officers, claimants and
contractors from making contributions for political
purposes was taken up, and the 9TH of January
next was St for its consideration.
1t may be remembered that the Democrats at
tempted at the extra session to force this absurd
measure through the House under the gag rule, but
were defeated. The only time allowed for discus
sion by the Democrats was given to Mr.. McLane, OF
Maryland, who made a violent stump speech OF two
hours duration in denunciaton of the Republican
party. No lsepublican was allowed to open his
mouth to reply, although an implied agreement had
been made that General Garfield should be permit
ted to do So The Republicans have not forgotten
the treatment they received on that occasion. Ii is
pretty certain that when the measure comes up for
discussion they will be prepared.
The bill itself Mr.. Conger characterized to-day as
the 'most direct and barcfaccd attack the rights
of American citizens that any man ever had tho
bOdness 10 present"
The absurdty of the bill appears 10 strike others.

A BILL IN REGARD TO SHIPPING.

THE RIVER AND CoAsIISG TRADES THREATENED BY
A MEASURE FRAMED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
WEST INDIA TRADE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Representativo Waite, Of
Connecticut, reported from the Committee on Com
merce to-day bill to amend Section 2.77l OF the
Revised Statutes This section is as follows:
Vessels which not vessels Of tue United States
shall be admitted TO unload only AT III, ports OF entry
established by law ana no such vessel sh" be allowed
which she shall be admitted to unload
This statute has been in force eighty years. Tho
bill brought in to-day provides that npon the entry
of foreign vessel and her at any port of entry
the vessel may proceed 10 and unload at any port OK
delivery in the same district. The measure was
framed largely for the benefit of those engaged in
the trade with the West Indies. Some time ago the
Secretary Of the Treasury recommended that he DO
authorized in special cases 10 designate another pors
than the port entry, and permit foreign vessel
10 discharge her cargo there. The Democratic una
iorlty of the Committee on'Commerce has changed
the Joint resolution drafted by the Secretary. and
has refused to give him authority 10 designate tho
ports or issue the permits for unloading
Inits present form the bill eNcites lively opposi-
tion, especially among the Western members, who
say thar 1t aims "a fatal blow at American shipping
interests on the rivers and Northern lakes Other
members declare that another result II the bil j
should become n law would be to throw the cOastlng
trade into the hands of foreigners. -,,,.-,,
In a short debate to-day Mr.. COnger, OF Michigan,
who took the lead in opposition TO the bill, pointed
out that under its provisions foreign vessel with
an assorted cargo might make aport at New-Or-
leans, and then proceed up the Mississippi River
distributing her cargo wherever 1t would be found
profitable TO do so. The case mentioned by Mr.
longer is a strong one. In the Collection District
of New Orleans there twenty-nine ports of de-
| livery, among which arc Memphis, Louisville.
Nashville. Cincinnati Plttsburg, st. Louis Keokuk,
| Kansas City, Omaha and La Crosse The bill was
| not disposed of to-day. Judging by the express
sions OF members IN private conversation there is
little danger Of II passing the House IN the form
