JACOBS-CAVANAGH CONTEST.
WHO W1I.L HOLD THE 8EJUTORIAL SEAT FOB i
TUB THIBD DISTRICT?
Yesterday the Investigation in the matter of the contested
seat in the State Sonato now occupied by Hon. 1
John C. Jacobs, of the Third district, Kings county,
was concluded In the County Court House, before tho
Senatorial Commttee on "Privileges and Elections."
The apartment was crowded with political constituents
of Colonel Cavnnogh, who Is the contestant for the j
honors now held by Mr. Jacobs. The former gontloman
was represented by ex Judge Morris and theclaims
of the Colonel were advocated by United States District
Attorney A. W. Tcnnoy. The returns in dispute were
chictlv those of tho Second district of the Twelfth
ward and the Seventh district of tho Tenth ward. Ono
witne.-s testified that ho saw, in the former district,
oue ot the canvassers, named Hope, take about
fourteen or fifteen of Oavaiiagh's tickets,
which had not been counted, uuii put them
In the pile of Jacobs' tickets. John Hope
swore that he did not put any of Oavanagh's tickets in !
Jacobs' pile. Mr. Olcua, a canvasser of the First dis- i
trict of the Twenty-second ward, attributed the laol of j
the Senatorial veto being lour i-hort of the poll list to a ;
clerical error on tho part of tho poll clerk. The First ;
district of the* Twenty-second ward gave a ballot for i
"Colonel Cavanter," which was disallowed as It was 1
written on one of Jacobs' ballots. It was stated by
li;?(i l?e<n Id formed that after tho return In the Kirgt
district of the Twenty-third ward had heeu made it
was altered, and 100 votes wero transferred to Jacobs.
It was found on examination, however, that the returns
were correct, and counsel had l>ccn misinformed.
It was finally decided that there should be no argument
on the evidence until the testimony Is printe 1,
when the Senatorial Committee will sit aga.s in Albauy.
THE CARNIVAL.
MASQCKRA.DE BALLS I,AST NIGHT.
The repeal of the prohibitory clause of tho law in regard
to masked balls has had tlio ctfect of rendering
these burlesque and fantastic entertainments even
more frequent and numerous during the present ball
season than before, notwithstanding the prevalent de- j
pression in social circles on account of dulncss of tho
times. Among the Germans particularly the carnival
season is in full blast, and nearly all the German societies
and clubs are preparing to do homage to tho
mad 1'rtoce during the present carnival season In a
becoming manner. Last night not less thau a half a
tfotcn of these masked balls were given in different
parts of the city under the auspices of different German 1
Odettes, all of which, notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, were attended by numerous assemblages
lu gay and brilliant costumes A feature on this occasion
was the masquerade 01 the Saengerbund Society,
at the Germanta Assembly Room*. The capacious ball
room was brilliantly decorated with all the paraphernalia
f the carnival, and a numerous assemblage in gay and
brilliant costumes Indulged in s vast amount o! fun
and frolic in honor ot Prince Carnival until quite late.
The Floor Committee, about a dozen in uumber, beaded
by Captain Aery, appeared in costumes representing
ancient German warriors of the period >4 Hermaun,
the CUeruskrr I'rlnce. the liberator of the ancient Germans
from Human dominion and oppression. The
)>?or Com in it toe appeared In the national costumes of
the ancient Polish nobility, which gave the in a picturesque
and classic appearance.
The Knhenkranz Vocal Society gave a bol nsas^ae at
the Turn Halle, in Fourth si roe t. The sflair was enlivened
by the enactment cl several burlesque per- i
lormances. which had been prepared for the occasion.
The Hangari Liedcrkranz gave a masquerade at the
Valhalla Hail, In Orchard streol. where a gay assemblage
of maskers eng.iged In a variety of carnival

THE SERVICES AT THE HIPPODROME.
The revivalists commenced their second week of exhortation
yesterday under anything but auspicious circumstances,
so far as the weather was concerned. The
rain fell in torrents almost tho entire morn in/, Nit,
despite this drawback, there was an attendance at tho
midday services of ovor 3,000 persona Prominent
among those present were Rev. Dra Anderson, Baptist;
Bail, Presbyterian; Holme and Arinitaga, Baptist;
Tyng, episcopalian; Rogers and Ormiston, Reformed
Butch; Booth, Presbyterian; Boll, Baptist;
Vail, Methodist; Taylor, Congrogatlonahst; Osborne,

Conklin, Presbytorian; Messrs. Sabine, Episcopalian;
Harris, Methodist; Plusted, Congregationalist; Arnold,
McArthur and Leavell, Baptist; Jerry McCaoley,
Water Street Mission; Rev. Mr. Hepworth, Chan h of
the Disciples.
Mr. Moody appeared on the platform promptly at
noon, aud pave out the twenty-seventh hymn, commencing
with the words, "Pass mo not, O Gentle
Saviour," which tho audience sang with fine effect.
KKQl'KMTS FOK PRATER,
lfr. D. 3. Dodge came forward and read a lengthy
list of requests for prayer, among which were four requests
for only sons that they might love God; for an
lutcmpcrate son; for a son lor whom his mother had
prayed for twenty-six years that he might love tho
Lord; by a mother for her only son, dangerously
ill; live requests by wives for their hitsbauds;
by a sister for lour brothers and throe sisters.
There wero ulso prayers asked lor a brother-in-law;
lor an oQlcer of the British army dying oi consumption;
by a daughter for her iuther and lor the professors
and students of Cornell University.
1'ruyor was offered by Dr. A. D. Vail, alter which'Mr.
Moody gave out the eighty-tilth hymn, "Lord, 1 lnar of
showers of blessing." Dr. John flail then read tho
opening verses of tlio fortieth Psalm, "He waited on
tho Lord palieutly," and delivered a brief address.
"What a friend we have in Jesus" was next suDg, und
then followed a fervent prayor by Dr. Abbott. Dr.
Arnutage followed with un address on prayer, und Mr.
Sankoy sang "Keep fraying at the Door." After tho
singing of the Doxoiogy the pit q ting terminated.
THE RVE.NI.VO* SERVICE.
Owing to the rain storm which Just preceded tho
evening service tho lurge hall was little uioro thtiu
liaif tilled. Promptly at eight o'clock Mr. Moody appeared
on the platform and announced the twentyseventh
hymn, which was followed by prayer, and Mr.
Sankey having snug tho eighth Iiynin,
Mr. Moody read from the fifth chapter of the first of
Corinthians, describing the resurrection, aud said that
w us what foul called tho Gospel Christ died lor our
sins, according to tho Scriptures. Ho (Mr. Moody)
wanted the congregation to get that trutli. Let tneu
ray what they might ubout the Gospel being this or
that, let them hear in mind the Gospel which tenches
that Christ died lor onr sins, lie did not know of aiiy
other gospel, he did not preach any other
gospel than that lie was buried and roso again the
third day oiler, according to ihe Scriptures. Many
tried to mnko others believe that Christ did not rise.
The inlidel did not believe that Christ rose. We.I, if
He did not, the Apostles were false witnesses.
The thirty tilth hymn was then sung by the audieuca
MR. MOODY'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Moody announced that he would rcFtinie tho
t-utne subject which he treated last evening, iroin the
text according to fit. Luke?"Tho spirit ol the Lord is
upon mo, because he has appointed me to preach the
Gospel to tho poor." Ho believed in preaching upon a
subject uutil the peoplo believed it. The question was.
To whom should (be Gospel be preached * Tho Gospel
was lor the drunkard and for the thief. Mauy of the
sell righteous Pharisees Imagined that the Gospel was
only lor a certain class, lint the gospel was proclaimed
to all and there was no distinction.
They read lu tho last chapter of Mark that
the disciples were sent forth to prcuch to all the world.
Thero was no distinction. The rich aud poor must bo
aavod. tho learned and the unlearned?all must cotno
into the kingdom of God in one way. The manduto
was to preach tho Gospel to every oue, and those who
believed were to be saved and those who did not believe
were to be damned. He (Mr. Moody) heard Peter
paying, "Lord, you don't mean that wo should preach
tho Gospel to every creature*" Hut that was just what
was meant?to go and proclaim tho glad tidings to oil
the world. "You don't mean," probably sad Peter,
"that we should preach to the Jews that took your
life)1" "Yes, Peter," doubtless sold the Lord, "go aud
preach to Jerusalem. Preach to that man who mado
lor me the crown of thorns; tell him to ucccpt salvation
as a gilt, and tell him that Instead ol' a crown oi
thorns 1 will give him u crown of glory in the Kingdom
of God. Tell the man that drove tho spear Into
my side that there Is a nearer way to reach me.

Ghost came down on tho unth day, and they began to

utul the prisoner could receive the glad tldin.s as well
a.-others. There w.ib no one fallen so low that cuulil
not be saved. Mr. Moody reeiiod several touching incldenu
In connection with his th-mc, showing that It
only required u willingness on the part of man to bo
saved. Ho urged upon his hearers the necessity of
determining at once to take the right path, which leads
to eternal salvation. It only required thn will to do it.
It was one ol the hardest thtngs ,in the world to become
a Christian, and It was also' one of tbo easiest,
paradoxical as it might seem; but tho bard part of it
consisted in the want ol determination. It was dllilcull
to give up llic will, hut it must he given up if we
desired to be saved.
The audience then suing the tenth hymn, after which
Rev. I?r. Booth said prayer, and with the singing of
the "Rock ol Ages" tho proceedings were brought to a
close.
There were subsequently held the inquiry meetings
and the mooting for men In the other hull, hut the
wcalhor had a decided eiTect upon the attendance.
PLYMOUTH'S COUNCIL.
ITS ORGANIZATION TO-DAY?WHAT IT CAN AND
WHAT IT CANNOT DO.
The largest Congregational Council that ever assembled
in tills country, with one exception, will meet In
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, at two o'clock this afternoon,
to advise that much tried body whether or not It
had violated Congregational polity or Its own rules in
dropping from Its roll the names ot those who wero
mainly Instrumental In bringing the great scandal before
the public and who continue to still keep the matter
agitated. It will be remembered that the call for
this Advisory Council was issued while negotiations for
a Mutg.il Council were In progress with
Mrs. Moulton. Tho committee appointed to
prepuro for tho Advisory Council were the pastor,
Dr. Kdward Boechcr, Robert R Raymond, H. W. Sage.
.Augustus Storrs, William McKay and 9. V. White.
These gentlemen signed tbo letters missive and
attonded to all tho preliminaries. One hundred and
seventy-two rburches, all of them outside of Brooklyn
and New York, were invited. Of these liiti have
accepted and elected delegates, twenty-six have
declined and twenty bud not been beard from last
night, although the delegates may appear to-day. The
reason assigned by tbo majority of the churches which
have declined tbo invitation is, that revivals are in
progress among them which render tbo presence of the
pastors indispensable. A number, however, declare
themselves opposed to the Council, and a few assign no
reason whatever for their declination. New England
will be very largely represented, as there will be
present delegates from t;x churches of Maine, three of
New Hampshire, four of Vermont, twenty-six of Massachusetts.
twenty-seven or Connecticut and two of
Khodc Island. Eleven churches of this State will send
delegates, and the entire number of tho latter prescul
will probably reach UOU.
1 UK UBOAXUATIOX OF TUK OOt'NCIU
Hcnrv Ward Becchcr will coll tho body to order
and make an address of welcome. A permanent organization
will probably then bo eifected. or a temporary
organization may be formed and a coinmutoe on permanent
organization appointed. Immediately alter
these preliminaries it is believed that tbe
case ol Plymouth church will be presented
bv Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Dr. Edward lieacbcr,
Thomas W. Shearman anil Koasiler W. Raymond.
A written statement will probably be submitted' which
will be supplemented by speeches from members ol the
committee The Council will then proceed to consider
tne case with a view of advising us to the proper course
to bo pursued by tho church. While the case of the
church is being stated the session will be open, but
when the Council comes to adjudicate upon tlio matter
the doors will probably be closed. Tnore probably will
be three sessions held daily, and the Council ts likely to
conclude its labors during the present week. Ample
arrangements have been made by Mr. Heecher's congregation
for the accommodation of the numerous
delegates who arrived lost night and for the
greater number wbo will reach Brooklyn today.
Those who have not personal friends
in the city will call upon Mr. Hallidny, the as-ustant
pastor ?i the church, when they arrive, and that gentleman
will tupplv them with cards introducing them
to members ol the church who have otTerod the hoapitaiities
of their heme*.

upon wbxb its advice has been asked. 9iX interrogs

The Council tu?y take a wide range, but cannot be converted
into a court of law, nor can tt touch the endence
which was submitted to a Jury. It may adv,?e

conversant with Congregational usage that it can aavo
no power to reopen the scandal.
MR. BO wars DEM AN 1)8.
Yesterdsy morning Henry C. Rowcn sent an answer
to the letter which he reoelved last Saturday irom the
Kxamining Committee of riymouth Church, which
gave him ten days to answer the sccosations preferred
against him. He rent the totter in the Secretary of the
Committee, the Rev. Mr. Hallldny, but that gentleman
would not state last evening what its contents were,
giving as h<s reason that it bad not yet been placed be.
lore the Examining Committee. Mr. Boweu, although
refusing a copy of the letter for publication, did not refuse
to state the nature of lie contents. He had requaatsd
the caauuilloa- Jtc tatd. to Utfftah httu with a
HERALD, TUESDAY, FEL
lift of all the witnesses who are to appear against him,
and also to state what the charges and
specifications were. He thinks this Is his
right, and ho does not believe the committee
wdl refuse his request when the tune
in which he hus to answer Is taken into consideration.
Ho does not sec how he can answer unless the charges
are made more specific. He asked for an immediate
answer to the letter, so that he can reply at the end of
the allotted time. He has not decided what his future
action will be should the committee consider his letter
evasive. Mr. Halliduy could give no information in
regard to I he committee s actions on the letter, hut
thoy would attend to it as soon as possible.
MINISTERIAL CONFEBENCES.
The Baptist Ministers' Conference met yesterday to
uuver street cnurcti. rno nutnDcr proscnt was comparatively
small, tut the discussion was important and
interesting. The toplo considered by Messrs. Rhodes,
Slmonson, Sampson, Smith, Stevenson, Hopper and
others was the relation of Sunday schools to the
Church or the relation of the children to the Church.
Mr. Rhodes opened the discussion in some very
thoughtful remarks, from which it appeared that ho
had no tronblo to interest children when he got thorn
to church, but bis chief dilllculiy is to get them there.
In a congregation of one thousand twenty five or fifty
children aro ail ulio usually attend church. He has no
| morning session, and it seems to he taken for granted '
1 that If the children attend school on Sabbath afternoons
that is all that is roquircd of them. They consider the
' Sabbath school tho children's cbnrch. Tho Secretary
ofihe meeting, Mr. Hopper, thought tho brethren were
all on tho wrong tract They ought to make a disttnc- ,
tton between children. He would not liavo children
under twelve years of ago in an adult congregation. 1
There should bo some place where children could bo ,
gathered together and instructed. Wo make a mistako j
vihon wc try to imitate the Lord Jesus Christ in many i
tilings. 1 don't seo many Jesus Christs in my walks, '
said tlio speaker. Wo may catch His spirit, but wo !
can't do His work as He did It. We can't interest ;
children as Ito interested them. Hrotlior Rhodes re- I
marked on this speech that if the secretary wouldnot per- j
i nut children under twelve years of a^e to attend church
' ho would not have many of them after that age. Tho
! other speakers took the 'ground, totuo tlpat children
I should bo compelled to go to church and some thai'
I there should be no compulsion, that tho services
should ho mado Int 'resting enough to luduco children
to go and to rivet their attention when they are thorn.
11 r. Newton, ot Philadelphia, an Episcopalian, has an
; ivjternoon .service fprchtJdrv'n every Sunday, and one
that is TnrgeTy attended also by adults, who a'ro fniorestcd
squally with the children. Simplicity of stylo
' and waiter of preaching would do much to Interest
i children, but too many sermons aro ol such a sort thai
l lew adults, much loss children, can comprehend thorn.
One cause ol Mr. Rhodes'success is his constant simplicity
in nil his pulpit instruction. But, though rhil'
Hreu may uot appear to bo interested, u sense of tho
I presence of a personal God oiten conn s ov> r thorn in
; the church, and they receive impressions there which
never wear off. But pastors should not indulgo In
tuerc talk and twaddle to children, i'hey should speak
words of good common sense which the children can
| comprehend, unci tnako a special object of it and work
lor Its success. Next Monday Brother Kennard is to
j read a paper on the Baptists' debt to tho Jews.
| The Methodist ministers mot yesterday also at No.
805 Broadway. Tho gathering was comparatively
' small, but Brother Bryan was in his place as usual.
; Professor Strousr, of Drew Seminary, was to huve road
' a paper on his recent visit to the Holy Laud, but he
laueil to appear. Tho meeting decided to discuss uext
j Monday what they can do lo advance tho present ro
I llgious movement and awakening in this city provided
! Dr. Strung should uot he presont. But if he comes to
time tho meeting is to give him audience. Tho
j brethren then adjourned for tho purpose of attending
j the noon mooting at tho Hippodrome, for which some
! of fliem came from the country. A little time was
given to singing and prayer.

THE NORMAL COLLEGE.
GIFTS BT THE STUDENTS?THE EXEBCISB8 AND
A HISTORIC OF THE INSTITUTION.
The Normal College celebrated its sixth birthday as
au institution yesterday morning, in the college cbupel.
| Notwithstanding the ili ugrceablo wealhor there was a
largo audience, and when tbo shutters wero closed and
the gas lighted everybody had forgotten ail about tne
I rain and the mud in the streets. Over the platform
i was a fine engraving, typical of tho eflcct of education, :
presented by the class of 44 '76," and representing tho
; God of tho Morning in his chartot, with a train of at.
tendants, approaching a city, driving darkness and '
clouds before htm. Another class, also iu the giving vein,
made President Hunter a present of an olegant basket
j of flowers. The pari of the programme rendered by
; the young Indies consisted of choruses by tlac college,
quotations, the reading of compositions and tbo recitation
ot un original poem by Miss NellieII. Cone. This
last showed ability of a very high order and was
warmly applauded. Mr. William M ood, the President I
of the Board of Education, in tho course of his ro- |
marks? gave an interesting history of tho founding of I
the (jpllege. In 1S09, he stated, the old Board of Kiln- !
cation, elected liy the people, was superseded j
by a new one, uppoiuted by the Mayor. This, |
aficr six mouths' carelul investigation of tho
school system, caino to tho conclusion that its
positions, especially those in the primary classes,
could not be tilled w.tb trained teachers. The previous
Board had long considered tho icasibihty ot starting a
normal institution, and tor that purpose nad purchased
three lots ou Pixty-flrst street and Eighth avenuo.
Plans had been prepared aud $100,000 set apart lor the
crectiou of the building; but the dow Board decincd
that this was not sufficient for a groat city like unrs,
and they therefore secured for the tirno being
1 suitable quarters at Broadway and Fourth street,
where the sessions of tbo collego wero held for a year
! and a haiC In the meantime, through the Legislature,
funds had been obtained for tho establishment of a
superior cdilice on uny unoccupied city property north
' ot Fifty-ninth street. A threo years' course of study
was instituted and the students were obliged to pursue
such studies is would make them clUcieut teachers.
' I.atin, French or German, English, wuh a limited
, amount o! mathematics, were made obligatory upon
all. Iu addition to these so-called "link studies." in
which home preparation is indispensable, lectures without
text books arc given on such natural sciences as
| will enable the students to become intelligent, wellposted
teachers, though no attempt is mado to render
them scientists. No oue without a sufllciont cuuso is
! excused trom any subject taken up tn her class, and all
are compelled to take physical exerciso under a competent
teacher. The popularity of tho Institution us
I constantly increasing, as is shown by the demand for
admission. In fact, it has been found necessary to
enforce ttie rule concerning non residents. Tho building,
notwithstanding its great size, has already reached
tho limits of its capacity. The average attendance
since la^t September has been about 1.255 a day. There
are also over 500 teachers attending the Saturday sesston
of the college and about SUO children attending the
training school?a department of the college.
' COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL ALUMNI.
A meeting of the Alumni Association of tho Colum- 1
b.a College Law School was held last evening at No. 8
Great Jones street, Mr. James It. Adams, tho Presi. j
dent, tn the chair.
The President, in calling tho meeting to order, re- j
fcrred to the nocassily there was tor reforming the
practice in some of tho law courts of delay- !
Ing the progress ol rases an undue length i
of time. Ho attributed this inconvenience to
, the tardiness of some ot the judges tn I
attending t > the rublic business. He thought "that tho
; Judges cbould act as tf they were tho servants of the
people nnd not as If they were merely condescending to .
perlorm their duty. Tnls .ubject, he said, ncedod the
consideration ol tho alumni. He also rclcrred to the '

condemned the course pursued by that body as contrary

The racing stablo Of Barton & Mcdlngrr, consisting
of Charley Cheatham, First Chance, Lihliie L., Emma

the iato meeting there. On the following Monday they
were sold at public auction in $nvanuah. They realized ,
$2,400, and wero purchased by parties lrom South 1
Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
Colonel McDanicls, in writing to a Iricnd a few days
since, stated that "all the horses in the 1'rinceton ;
stable are doing well," and that he will train thirty- !
live this year. Ansel Williamson, the veteran j
and successlul colored trainer, has arrived at |
l'rincotot, and will, lor Iho season, be attached to j
this stable. Ansel has been very lonunate for the past j
three or four years with tho Mclirathiana stable, and j
with tbo very line material belonging to Colonel Mo- j
Daniels it is more than probable that he will be in the j
same good luck tbo coming campaign. Ansel brought i

INVENTORY BY THE POLICE OP CAPTURED
GAMBLING IMPLEMENTS.
An inventory of the gambling paraphornalia captured
by Captain Van Dusen in tho gambling house of Hike
Murray, in Eighth street, Saturday night last, has
been taken by the property clerk at tho Central Dopartmcnt,
in whose custody all the property Is placed.
The chips are of ivory aud number in all 1,000. Three
faro tables and their accompaniments, xonsistlng of
case boxes, German silver deal boxes and several I
dozen packs of linen cards, constitute tho I
faro implements. About twenty framed signs
leuit- variety to tho property and cast considerable
light on tho respective games. In one
players arc notified that "the game Is open from ton
A. M. to two A. U." Another announced that "positively
'markers' will not be accepted," and a neat
sign which*no doubt had often been looked upon
with eager eyes by the votaries of the game, gives
notice that suppor is served nightly at twelve o'clock.
The most curious relic, howevor, is tho magmticent
stuffed head of the royal Bengal tiger, which, enclosed
in n large glass case, was wont to glare from Its place
in the corner upon all participants In the gamo symbolic
ol the sport in which they were engaged, i'wro
cart loads of chairs, four largo pier mirrors and several
yards of Brussels carpet, which were construed by tho
police as gambling implements, formed the balance of (
the paraphernalia.

SENTENCE OF THE WYNOCKIE
CHILD-KILLERS.
Henry B. Vreelnnd and Susan rah his wife, having
been acquitted through legal technicalities on the charge
of murdering their son, Ralph, were tried and committed
on a charge of assault and battery. Yesterday ,
they were sentenced by Judge Bockalow, at Patersou, ,
N. J., the woman to three years and the man loan
months at hard lah?r In the Mate Prison. The evidence
was so clear against them that public sentiment
was quite indignant over the verdict, so that the severe
sentence now Imposed upon thom for the lesser offence
meets with general approbation,
RECORD OF CRIME.
Thieves stole from the residence of Charles Sidenburg,
at No. 60 Kasl Broadway, on Sunday afternoon,
clothing valned at 9360. They entered with skeleton

The apartments of David Dlcnsfnrberp, at No 370

VALENTINES.
Early Saturday evening the disciples of SI Valentine
started their letters-missive through the Poet (Jlllce,
and an additional force of clerks was put on duty to
avoid any delay ol business letters. Yesterday the receipts
of letters at the general olhce were about twenty
per cent greater than on the corresponding date last
year, the embossed envelopes plainly designating
the "saintly" letters, which numbered about one to
five In the huge piles of letters that the stamping
clerks were, as they said, "killing"?the killing consisting
of a sharp blow of a cancelling stamp as a
post mark. A curious lealure of the work was the ex- j
animation by the clerks of the unpaid letter department < of
tho valentines sent in boxes. Generally the senders
took advantage of the law relating to third class mat- |
ter, and by leaving the wrappers ol tho boxes un- ,
scaled, paid only for printed matter. Kut the clerks '
were obliged to open and examine the boxes to ascer- |
tain if any written matter was contained therein, and ,
if it was, to charge full letter rates. One seutlmontal
swain hod sent an elegunt tribute of lacework,
ribbons and tlowers to bis sweetheart; |
but had written iu it, "Your Kver Valentine," and
signed his initials. Tbo box was forwarded at letter '
rates and the young lady will bare to pay lull postage,
wbilo she will have the consolation of knowing who
sent It. In another instance, a largo pasteboard box, i
worth abont four cents, was carefully wrapped In envelope
paper and tho Jacy pearly covered with postage '
stamps valued"at more than fWfcon tents. When the
box was opened the only things withiu were the pencilled
words "Fooled Again." A beautiful souvenir of 1
tho duv was a cottage made of fancy shells, j
and when tho root was lifted the inte- :
rior disclosed homo happiness. Between 3,000 :
and 4,000 of such boxes, some of them valued at $50 j
each, passed through the oflico yesterday tu safety, i
Tho amount of postage charged upon ihoso having
written matter within or bound with sealed wrappers
was $05. During a portion of tho day the carriers \
wero forced to perform much extra duly, but all let- |
ters deposited were promptly sent to their dT'siinatioa. j
The crowding of tho mail bags will last for some .
days?a week in all probability?as the sending of |
valentines is in order for seven days succeeding Feb- j
ruary 14.
THE OLD GUARD GOING.
Last evening a meeting was hold by a portion of tho j
Old Guard who propose visiting Charleston, S. 0., to ,
p&rticlpato In tho celebration ol Washington's Birth- {
day. The excursionists will loavo here to-morrow on
tbo steamship Georgia, and will oc tho guests of the
Mayor, Commou Council and militia of the abovo j
named city. They will parade in full unilorm, cons.st.
ing of wiiitA ccat and bearskin caps, and will no 1
doubt create quite a sensation.

CHARTER TINKERING AT ALBANY?REPUBLICAN
ACTION ON TUB OGDEM BILL? FERRY
RIGHTS.
Thero was a stated session of tho Brooklyn Board of !
Aldormen held yesterday altornoon, President French |
In the chair. A report was presentod on the Ogden j
charter amendments for Brooklyn by tho committee to j
whom tho matter was referred, recommending tho i
passsgo of tho bill by the Legislature. The hill puts |
tlio Departments of City Works, Police, Parks, Fire, j
Exciso and Health under one head, and reduces the sal- I
nries of officials. Attention was called by Alderman ]
Murtha (democrat) to the fact that thero ure at the !
present time three bills before (he State Assembly to '
amend the charter, and that none of these
measures emanated-from tho people. He believed that '
the power to goverh should bo left with the people nud
not in tho hands of a few selfish partisans. A coin in Is- !
sion had been recently appointed by Governor Til- i
den on the Government of Cities, and* tno Aldorm.in
said the Common Council should not act till they had I
heard Irom the commission so appointed, lie did not .
think that the Unties of the departments could be per- i
formed by one man, and in support oi that view road a
letter from ex-Supervisor Frederick Scholos, opposing
all the charter tinkering now in Albany. The Auditor's j
office should not ho abolished, as it was a chock on tho '
Comptroller, dehorning politicians had long made a ,
football of tho charter, Ho objected to tho City ]
Troajurer having $2,000,000 of tho city money in tho j
hanks at two per coot whilo citizens borrowed it buck
again at seven per cent.
Permission was asked for Charles Sweeney to run a 1
ferry Irotn the foot of Cold street to ii point up town
ln'Ncw York, for tho convenience ol the residents of
the Fifth ward, who had suffered from tho stoppage of
tho Bridge street ferry. Tho matter was referred to a
