What with legislative opposition there and mu
nicipal interference here the Commissioners of our
Public Parke have by no means that Intense
quiet which It might be supposed gentlemen en
gaged la so.teatbetle a department of our civilisa
tion should bo entitled to. Though they are specially
appointed to spend the people's money In a way
which they may suppose most consistent with the
people's good, they are not permitted Its calm dis
bursement without opposition in several quarters.
But this has been the dally htotory of the past few
months, and tire readers of the Herald have been
already pretty extensively informed on that
?nbject.
But the Commissioners, In spite of all the opposi
tion they meet, are at present engaged in several
works of magnitude which are deserving of special
notice. Not the least among these are the two
great fountains?one in tho Central Park and the
other in the City liall Park. As this is one of tho
species of city embellishment in which our city Is
most woFUUy deficient, it Is a matter of gratifica
tion that the two largest and most beautiful foun
tains on this continent are so near completion.
TUB -OREAT FOUNTAIN ON TUB MALL,
In t.he Contra] Park, is now receiving its finishing
touches. This fountain was first broached in I860
and has been in process of construction ever
since. At the time Miss Kmma Stebblns, the
sister of tlio present President of the Hoard of
Parks, was given the work ol designing the statues
which should form tho main ornament of the groat
fountain. Miss Htebbins, whoso .studio Is in Koino,
commenced this main cll'ort of her artist life at the
time, and at intervals ha* continued on it more or
lens ever since. When she terminated her labors
Mma Htebbins' models wore conveyed to the foun
dry oi llerr Ferdinand Vou Miillor, in Munich,
Bavaria, who enpt, them in bronze. They arrived
hero during tiic past Bummer in a perfect and com
plete state and have not been unpacked since, but
are awaiting tho completion or the base. This Is a
very beautiful and uoblo work, anil was designed
by Calart Vuux and Jacob Wray Mould,
architects of tho publio parks. Tho lower
receiving basin was laid tionio time ago, but it Is
only recoutly that the work has really been puahort
forward. Tho lower base is constructed of blue
stone, ornamented with carved work, and support
ing sixteen pillars of polished Peterhead granite,
the bases and caps of the columns being made of
?olid bronze. On these rcposo
TtlK IfflfBNSE STONE BA8TN,
which Is made of a solid piece ol Westerly (R. I.) gran,
ite, one of the largest single stones ever unearthed.
In its polished state it is seventeen feet in diam
eter, and three attempts were made before a solid
stone large enough for the purpose could be found.
The upper edge of the basin iB a bronze rim, one
foot high. The inner base above the basin Is of
Milestone, and above this again is another rim of
bronr.e. On this stuuds the llrst grout> ol statuary.
The design of tho whole Is the Angel or Mercy
blessing the Pool of liet.hesda. She stands on a
bronze rock, from which the waters gush out qa
the angel touches it. 11ns group is supwrteii by
four boys, each holding a shell tcci.en the over
flow from the rock above. The louutain la an octa
gon, and lroin c-ach corner of the rock on which
'\c angei stands a jet springs out falling into the
W'vei basin neneath, the overplus dripping down
Into the granite basin and thence into the lower
basin. Ea"h jet has a lorco of about sixteen feet,
and
TUB EI'CICCT
Will be quite imposing, added to several Jets which
spring upward Irom tUe angel's leet. Flowers, in
bronze, Ac., add to the effect of the whole. The
atatue or tlio angel topping the whole in colossal,
and will be touched in no way by the waters be
neath. At present all the work Is done, including
ihe plumbing, excepting the base above the basin,
on which base the statuary is to stand. This will
be put up 10 the course o( a week or so, and then
nothing will remain bat to put up the statuary to ,
finish the entire thing. 'Hie cost is aa lollows:?

TUE FOUNTAIN IN CITY 1IALI. PARK.
We had not much cause to thank the previous
Board of Parks for their idea 01 beauty 111 louti- 1
tains. The twopenny spurts tu the City Hall 1'urk '
are ridiculous and useless. The new one, however, -i
will be a work of ai t. It was designed by Mr. >
Mould and does credit not only to him, but to our)
city, The base U granite and square. Four out
ward basins will receive small jets or water on cinch
aide iroin the main basiu. Around the parapet are
polished slabs of granite resting on the cut graulte.
The base is a siugle column supporting the basin
In polished grauite. Above this will start tne sin
gle base supporting another polished basin re
versed. From 1 his will spring lour large outward
jets und numerous smaller downward and
upward jets, forming altogether a substan
tial volume of water and spray. From
the basius will la.ll the overlapping waters in
streams. Top uf all will rise a substantial orna
mental brou/.e fiutal. To render the fountain still
inoie ornamenial, hundtouie bronze lampposts ?
will rise ou each of the lour corners, each support
ing three ornamental lauips. lu the minor jets on
each ot tlie lour outward sides bronze leaves will
?;ud the water spurting out two or three feet. It
was originally intended to have four jets of water
rising irom the lower basin and meetiug at the lop,
but it was feaied there would not be force enough
to send the water up the distance needed, and the.
Idea was abaudoued. This is a pitv, as oy It the
tiilnclpal working beauty of the fountain is lost.
but
IT Wnn.tt REQIMRB a stkam engine
in the City Hall to give the water the necessary im
pulsion lor these Jets, and the Commissioners are
airaid of the expense. The total cost of this foun
tain will be about thirtv thousand dollars. It is all
bundled but the reversed basin and the flaial.
Besides these fountains numerous improvements
are at present going on in the several city parka.
AT t'NION Svt AKK.
After the act of vandalism of pulling down and
ami destroying the trees in this square to a large
extent?a silly and unnecessary improvement (ti
the Commissioners now find themselves obliged to
plant trees in the very places, or a few feet away
Irom, where Kiev existed belore. Along the bor
der on the east side of the square about a
dozen will be planted, and the noies are all |
ready to receive them. Numbers will be planted 1
on the southern and western sides 01 tne orna
mental Swiss chalet which ib now In course of
construction on the northern end of the square.
This pretty house is to be used as a ladies1 retiring
place, and will be almost concealed from view 011
these two sides to make it as private as possible.
On the other sides it will be left as open us pos- ,

FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS,
the speakers to occupy the balcony, which runs
round the house. A long row of ornamental
lamps on a single tube, runulug from one end of
the square to 1 lie other, along seventeenth street, '
aud supported bv four ornamental pillars, termi
nating in nagstatfs, will be one of the marked fea
tures of the improvement. These will be lighted
whenever a meetiug takes place. The cost of !
lighting them win be $:w each evening. This 1
last pioce, which has been rut oil from tue square, i
has left an open space which will accommodate
about twenty thousand people. This was done to ;
relieve tue lower part ol the square, which Jiaa I
beretoiore been used for public meetings. It is un
necessary t o g,ve here any description of the ch.Het. I
It however, prettier than those ol Its class in j
other squares. The only remaining improvement

laying of which seems never to come to a conciw

AT THE IlATTRnr
the only existing impiovemeiitN are the trees,
which are being planted lu profusion at present.

A Letter of Wendell Phillips'?WorU
Ingiucn Sore with Perpetual Injustice^
The Federal Council of the Internationals held
their regular weekly meeting yesterday, at 12t>
Spring street. Twelve delegates were present. In
addition to the members of the Council there were
present representatives of labor organizations of
tho city, citizens and a few ladlca. For tbe number
of the people lu the room it would be difficult to
And ft more cosmopolitan gathering, every Euro
pean nationality being here represented. The ob
jects for which tho Federal Council is established
are pronounocd to be the formation of a central
medium of communication and co-operation be
tween the worklngraen's societies existing In differ
ent parts of America and aiming at the same end?
tnc protection, advancement aud complete eman
cipation of the working classes.
After tho regular routine business of the society
had been proceeded with, about twelve communi
cations were read Irom different parts or the
United States, from winch the following was
gleaned:?In California a person cau now commit
the foullest crimes in the decalogue aud be certain
ol escape if he has money or friends. Murder Is
getting to be almost as common in san Francisco
as It was before the dark days of 1856. Courts ana
officers sustained at tin enormous expense, and yet
large criminals go Iree, while the petty tlilef ro
colveH the punishment. Several ol the large land
holders of Maryland and Virginia have decided
to out up their larma to a certain extent and sell
or lea.se to immigrants or others upon such terms
as will be reasonable such small portion of the laud
as will secure a permanent settlement of families,
whose services at fixed and lair rates shall t>e paid
lor by tiio owners ol the land, until the whole of the
purchase money shall have been paid by the
laborers. It is expected that suitable laws will be
enacted by the uext Legislature to legalize and
strictly eniorce all such contracts. A communica
tion Irom Washington states that the Working
men's National Council was in session in the afore
said city last week, it is reputed to be one of the
greatest, political movements ever inaugurated in
the United States. It was then announced that a
mass meeting would tnkc place on the evening of
tUe 14th Instant, in the large hall or the Cooper in
stitute, for the benefit of the widows and orphaus
or the communists who have been either exiled or
shot.
Letters from several prominent speakers were
read, stating their willingness to attend at the
above meeting. A letter was read from Wendell
Phillips, in which lie stated that owing to previous
engagements ho could not ha present. He referred
to the 1 renoh Commune In his letter in very flat
; terlng tdrms, stating that they were entitled to the
respect ol tho oiviliy,ed world. The barbarities
exercised on the Communists was a disgrace and a
shame to humanity. Never had there been made
1 in the history of the human race a more dlsinter
i ested effort lor liberty than tits Communists had
I put forth in this nineteenth century.
Mr. MuCai'lby then called tlie attention of tho
Council to the case of Itobcrt O Chambers (car
penter), who was recently sentenced to seven
i year's state Prison by Recorder Uackett. lie re
i viewed the circumstances connected with the
case, and suggested that the influence of the
! Council be brought to bear ou the matter and a
collection made In order to have a new trial lor
i Chambers.
; Dr. Kinoctt, In the course of a long address,
said that the action of t!ic judiciary was arbitrary
aud unjust, and if Chamber! ..ad nioncy or friends
! It is questionable if lie would have received such a
severe sentence. The speaker reviewed the differ
' ent murder cases that have taken place In the past
| two years in this city, and showed how the rich
j generally oscapcd ir.nn receiving punishment for
violating tiie laws or the land. Worklngmen were
sore with perpetual injustice. At tho conclusion
of his address the Doctor said that there <??<* feiou
sands or men iu this city living In houses that no
man ou Filth avenue would trust his horse In.
It was unanimously decided to appoint a com
mittee to di aw up a resolution for the press aud
/or presentation to the Governor for the pardon or
Chambers. It seems that the different trades
unions are collecting runds for the purpose or em
ploying counsel and such other means aa they may
deem prudent in order to have Chambers pardoned,
Twenty dollars was contributed by the Council for
the above purposes, after whfch the meeting ad
journed.

The case of John McMlllian, charged with knock* 1

on Thanksgiving evening, came up lor examina
tion before Justice Cox, at Jefferson Market, yes- !

oner as the one of the assailant? who struck him on
the forehead, rendering him senseless, while the
other two held h in. A girl named Louisa Smith

Identified McMlllian as one ol the robbers. He was

William Aiken, of 599 Kleventh avenue, was
brought up at JelTersoii Market yesterday, charged 1
with a felonious assault on Klchurd Markham. The
face of the complainant was cut and bruised in the
most shocking manner, and astonished those most
accustomed to similar sights. The evidence
showed that Markhum was set upon in the saloon
corner o: Forty-llrst street and Ninth avenue by
the prisoner and others, and that he had a very
narrow escape of Ills lire. A small sum of money
was also taken from him. The prisoner, who was
a particularly brutal appearing person, was held ,
to bail in the sum of |*,ooo to answer.

By mail from the Cape of flood Hope we have
flies from fcouth Africa dated at Port Elizabeth on
the 16th of October. The journals supply the fol
lowing animated report of the progress of a grea?
native war:?
THE TAM&OOKIES AND KHEM'S MEM IN BATTLE IN
TDK KIKLD.
Intelligence was received from beyond the Kel
yesterday morning, from which it appears that
many of Kreli's people bad returned home with
portions of the spoil captured after their contest
with the Tambookles In the Held. These consisted
of horses, sheep and guns, very few cattle having,
It Is said, been taken.
The slaughter of the Tambookles in the first cn
counter with Kreli's army is said to have been very
great.
TUB FIELD OF BATTLK AND PARTICCLABS OF TUB
OllBAT ENCOUNTER.
Juat beyond the Baahee, in the part occupied by
the chlerMonl, there is a peculiar piece of country,
forming, as it were, a sort of basin, wiih a Dum
ber of thickly wooded klools leading down and
meeting at one point.
ft was in these that Kreli's army ensconced
themselves, which, being known to (iangelizwe,
he apportioned his nrmy into five divisions and
marched to the attack, giving his generals Instruc
tions for tho centre divisions to make a feint at
tack on the centre kluofs, ho as to draw out Kreli,
when they were to Jail back, and the right and left
arms were then to close in from tho rear.
Instead of following these Instructions, It ap
pears that Oangeilzwe's left division prematurely
attacked the outer kloof, and, being fiercely met
by the enemy, gave Way.
The right then came to their assistance, and was
also obliged to retire, and this appear* to have
been the signal for a general retreat, ol which the
Ualekas took advantage, and, according to their
report, all the footmen of the left division of Gan
felizwe's anuy were slain, amounting, according
o some estimates, to about 40u, and to others to
1,400 Of 1,600.
It is s#ul that on Friday last firing wns heard In
the (litfiction of the reserve?tho Idntywa?but
this requires confirmation.
TUB "ltKUAULB CONTRA HAND" IN EXKKT10N AT
IIOUB.
It is; however, by ho ineaus impossible, as from
Information received bv us Kreli wus, according to
"latest accounts,'' on the way back with his army,
with tlit; objoct of punishing Mapassa and Zobello,
two oi Ins subordinate chieia, who are firm adhe
rents to our government, and who refused to take
any part against the Tambookles.
We believe these chiefs are desirous of protection
from the government, but whether they will re
ceive it or not is hard to say, for the Oovernor
seems very Blow to move in the matter, and to
take advantage of the epportunity now thrown In
his way of putting an effectual end to these dis
putes. If Rreli attacks Mapassa and Zobello, who
are said to have about two thousaud lollowers,
there can be but little doubt but that the latter
will seek rel'uge in the reserve, and It tnav be that
the tiring said to have been heard in that direction
may have arisen irom that cause. It is said the
Galenas have driven their cattle into the forests
for some purpose or other.
ECkOfKAN ARMS ANI) BRITISH INTEREST.
Eye-witnesses state that it was perfectly aston
ishing to see the number of capital firearms
sported by the two contending armies. Among the
Tambookles in particular this was a prominent
feature, many of them being armed with double
barrelled guns and some even with Enlield ritles.
Gangelizwe has offered to surrender himself and
liis people to the government as British subjects
and place his territory at the disposal oi the
colonial governmeht. If Ills Excellency should
hesitate to accent swell surrender there can be
little doubt bat that Kreli will claim it on the
| score of right by conquest, and this will give rise
I to serious complications.
We would, says a Cape City journalist, respect
fully suggest to the government th? propriety of
I at once sending up to the front some confidential
i agent to mediate between the two, or to urrange
for the reception of the Tambookles as British sub
I Jects. Tills would be in our opinion fraught with
the greatest beneficial results to the colony, and
| would, In course of very little time, put a stop to
i Kreli's troublesomeness. But the gentleman should
j be oue who can bo equally trusted by the govern
ment and the natives, in connection with the
above we may meution that detachments of police
from (Jraham's Town, Fort Beaufort, Peddle and
King William's Town have passed through this on
their way to Komgha and the Kel to watch the
drifts, and prevent the ingress and egress of na
tives while theBe disturbances are going on.

THE ANDERSON POISONING CASE,
Dr. Lucius B. Irish will be placed on trial In the
Kings County Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day
on the charge or having, with Mrs. Sarah Ander
son, poisoned to death Edward O. Anderson, the
husband or Sarah, The indictment Is for murder In
the first degree. Mrs. Anderson has also been Indict
ed. and is now in the Raymond Street Jail, but she
will have a separate trial after I)r. Irish's case shall
have been disposed of. This case has been before
the Courts frequently, but for various reasons the
trial has been postponed until now. The accused
occupied quite a prominent position in social
circles in Brooklyn, and his case Is exciting more
than usual attention. He will be defended by ex
Judge Morris, General Tracy (who will argue some
very tine points of law to be raised during the trial)
and Thomas C. Pearsall. District Attorney Win
chester Brltton and his assistant, Edgar M. Culien,
will conduct the case for the people. The presid
ing Judge is Calvin E. Pratt.
ANOTHER MISSING-MAN MYSTERY,
On Tuesday, the 3d instant, Mr. JamcB Hagan
left his residence, 33 East Broadway, and has not
been seen or heard of by any of his family or
friends. It is feared he has been the victim of foul
}day, as his habits were always regular, and he cn
oyed the universal respect and esteem of all who
knew him. Mr. Hagan Is about forty-seven years
of age, five feet seven In height, stoutly built, and
his hair and whiskers are grayish, At the time of
his disappearance he wore a blue pea-jacket, velvet
vest and Kossuth hat.
