NO. 8.

Mr.. Hubbard, the Republican candidate
for Congress in the lst district, was regarded
as a big lawyer, but he turns out to be poor
shakes on the hustings with young John
Pendleton, who was defrauded out of his
seat in Congress by the Reed rules. Hub
bard is trying to make up his deficiencies
as = speaker By shaking hands with the
people-but they all know the real value or
little worth of it, having had taste of La
Grippe. II takes man of extraordinary
powers to hold his own in free discussion
Of the protective principles-or want Of
them-of the Republican party, and Hub
bard doesn't seem to be the man. It must
be modification to his pride to have to
submit to such overwhelming defeats in dis
cussion rs he seems to have met with lur-
ing his combats with Pendleton.

Other members, including MIR. Acker,
thought the Committee should act as n
jury rather than counsel. aud moi be
obliged to act III any such way Us to bins

incidentally, to furnish tho Committee

The Committee Is expected 10 begin its

Good News for the Aldermanio Col

Members Of the thirteen Aldermen's
combine OF 1854, and those who were

business which brought about the grant

Broadway Railway franchise, will all o
rest easier, md Keenan,, Moloney, Demp-

The twenty-five indictments found
against James S. Richmond four years

John II. Bird for Kerr, and Homer A.
Nelson and Frank DupignAc for Rich
mond, moved the dismissal of the indict-
ments a month CO., and Col. Fellows
offered no opposition. Recorder Smyth,
this afternoon, filed his..decision dismiss
ing tho'indictmenls.
Kerr was indicted twenty.one times for
bribing Aldermen. He was tried twice
for bribing Alderman Ludolph A. Full
gran. The jury disagreed tue hrst time
and acquitted him on the second trial.
Richmond was indicted twenty-five
times, but has never been tried, and the
Recorder nays that he exercises the
power conferred by statute and distnisses
the indictments, because, though Rich
mond has been constantly ready for
trial FROM the beginning, and Kerr ever
since the last trial, Col. Fellows has not
brought them to tue speedy trial which
the Constitution comedies AZ the right OF

bill provided il shall DO presented TO me
substantially as II was agreed upon by
the Mayor and Citizens Committee.
II must be conceded that the attempt
10 ingrait upon It the names Of additional
Commissioners impcrils the final success
Of the measure.
The Importance Of the measure. the
urgent necossity for It's speedy enact
ment into q law, tho great bene.
FITS likely to be conferred upon tho
State and country by the securing of n
Worlds Fair IN Now York City, oil de-
mand that merely partisan or personal
conscientious should be waived in an
honest effort to pass the bill that
is satisfactory to the contributors who,
by their generosity, have made possible
tho realization Of this lnudable under
taking.
The highest compliment which can be
made to the Committees bill is tho fact
that after two weeks discussion
in this Legislature no amendments
aside from that providing for new Com
missioners hive been suggested, except q
few trifing changes Of ph~raseology and
detail.
Careful reflection has Indicated the
wisdom of tho bill in Its entirety, and
affords additional argument for its accept
ance substantially as il was presented to
the Legislature.
The citizens Of New York City
are not asking tho State for q dollar
OF money, but they simply desire
legal authority under which a Worlds
Fair can properly be held at their wi
expense ; and they desire the privilege of
naming their own Commissioners 10 ex-
pend their money.
1t Is respectfully submitted that they
should be given that privilege.
The best men OF all parties are demand
ing daily that the bill In its original shape
shall he enacted at once, and / appeal to the
Legislature to heed the almost unanimous
sentiment and thereby render q patriotic
service 10 every section of the State and
to all its citizans. DAVID i. HILL.
ALBANY, Feb. 7.-At the suggestion OF
Mr.. Hamilton Fish, the Committee of
Conference IN the Worlds Fair bill has
adjourned until Monday afternoon.
1t is hoped that some sort OF compromise
may DO arrived at before the next session.

ROBBED THE JOSS HOUSE.
Chinatown Excited Over the Burglary
of the Mott Street Temple.

When old All Chung. the venerable and
venerated guardian Of the joss house at
IS Mott street, entered the temple at an
early hour this morning he was surprised
and shocked to see the form Of q Mclean
man crouching under the altar,
What you wan herep Get out"
circulated tho old man, Mortified at the
sacrilese.
Then before his astonished yes rose a
long, powerful figure. which ut once
assumed q belligerent attitude. The
stranger was much bigger than Chung,
and evidently bent on mischief. Chung
realized that he was nj match for the in
trudor. and ran for help.
The old man searched yainly for some
one to aid him in e1pelling Joss's un-
welcome visitor. Fearing that damage
might be done in his absence, Chung re-
turned to the temple and met the stranger
at the door. Just walking of with a silver
urn under his arm, This nrn was the most
valuable piece of property that joss
possessed. and the sight of its spoliation
neryed the old guardian to desperation.
He grappled the thief, but was at once
struck ON the head with a piece OF iron,
and fell senseless. AS he lay on the floor
his assallant kicked him In the eye, in
juring him severely.
BY this time the alarm had spread, and
scores Of Cinnamon hocked to the scene.
Just then III accomplish of the pug
nacious burglar emerged from the temple
bearing a valuable vase. with which he
managed to escape. Chung's assailant
WAS kept very busy by the crowd for a
few moments, but finally got away, leav-
the silver urn behind him.
A policeman came on the scene then,
and he TOOK battered old All Chung to the
Chambers Street Hospital, when il was
ascertaIned that his eye was probably
ruined for life.
After q short search made by the police,
Chung's sssailRnt wa captured. He gave
his name as Thomas Burns. but would
say nothing as to his companion. Burns
is known to the officers of the precinct aS
a tough character. and was much feared
by the Cinnamon. At the Tombs Court
he was fully identified by All Chung, and
was held for examination. The police
are on the track of his fellow thief.
Chinatown is greatly excited over the
burglary OF the Joss House. and the
Celestials are loud in praise of the faith
full guardian OF the temple. The old man
is in q bad way. having been much in
jured by the blows and kicks OF his as
snilant.
