YOKOHAMA, Aug. 5-—It hav ing been decided . >y flw Government to revise the treaties which it has \ a»<ie WHO. not leas than fifteen foreign countries, and the

V lime fixed for such revision being the middle of next | year, toe consideration of the important question of re-

TUIOD has already been commenced. So many, and such Important cnnngcs have taken place since the treaties »ere made by^he Tycoon, many alterations will have to bs made, and it Is quite natural that the present Emperor •bouid desire to be beard In regard to questions of vital Importance to his country and administration. All the jona of the Empire now belong to the Emperor, and the revennt-n of all should now flow into the national treasury, ft in too HOOU to anticipate the actfon of the Japanese Sorernment, but it Is certain that the English and French saidents doing business here will expect to be permitted tetrad*- where they like around the whole coast, and to jenetrure, without molestation, the whole interior coun-*7- Sir Harry Purkes, the British Minister, before he kn 'or his vi.-it to Englaud, expressed a special interest iadu» question of revision, aud the American Minister, Kr.Ik- Lo!:c, will do all he can to secure such action as 111 be acceptable to bis Government. Thi* new treaty to*ioes* WM not unexpected, fqr you will rena-mber that • reconsideration wus provided for, after a reasonable toe, in the ordinal treaties.

The UtU-xt news received here from China is to the effect ttat scenes of strife are again noticeable in Canton. The frwuMe jrrew out of a rumor that the foreigners had been aakinjc efforts to destroy certain Chinese citizens by poison. Of course no sane man believes this to be true, Vxt the.

GREAT BRITAIN. PROPOSED COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE STRIKERS

JOURNALS ON THE LATE REGATTAS. ! '

LONDON, Friday, Sept. 15, 1871.

Mr. George. Po t t e r suggests in The Times, to-day, a compromise of the Newcastle difficulty. He recommends that tho employers adopt nine hours as the daily term of labor, and that the striking workmen sacri­fice half an hour's wages per day to eecure the re­duction r of hours. This, Mr. Potter thinks, would come very near to satisfying the desires of both parties. The meeting announced to take place in Trafalgar-square. London, for the expression of the sympathy of the Lon­don workmen for their brethren in Newcastle-on-Tyne, has been postponed, because the Newcastle representative on the Committee which called the meeting objected to coalescing with political parties-!

_______ CHOLERA " AND ITS PROGRESS — THE TEMPER­

ANCE MOVEMENT—MR. HUGHES. {FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, vAug. 31.—As yet, no case of t rue Asiatic cholera has occurred in England. Nobody affects to doubt that it is coming; the best one can say is that i t comes- slowly. It seems to have touched the shore more than once, but could not get a foothold. As long ago aa J u l y 31, two deaths from Asiatic cholera were re ' ported* on board steamers arriving from Cronstadt at Hull. In both cases the deaths occurred some time be­fore the steamer reached; port. A medical officer of the Privy Council went down, and the next report was that thohealth of Hull was never better. A fortnight later, Aug. 15, we had the famous Edmunds case. Dr. Edmunds sent a letter to TTu. Times saying he had attended the pre­vious evening a typical cjise of Asiatic cholera, but Dr. Ed­munds and his typical case were smashed that same night in the House of Commons by Mr. Forster himself. The Privy Council had sent their own physician, who reported that the case was one of English and not of Asiatic cholera. Since then, there has been, so far as I know, no rumor of trouble. No physician was likely to rush madly into print after poor Dr. Edmunds's sad experience. iYet his blundering hurry did real service. The English : public, and even English officials, woke up once for all to the impending danger. You might have talked till dooms­day about cholera in Konigsberg and Dantzig. Nobody knows or cares anything altfout Konigsberg or Dantzig, nor believes cholera will come till it is knocking at En­glish doors, or till somebody says it Is. Tho sanitary authorities took alarm from Dr. Edmunds none too soon. The Privy Council published a memorandum of advice and precautionary measures, aud some people ac tua l ly read and began to follow this advice. The papers dis­cussed it. I am not sure that even some local boards may not have talked about doing something, and one Water Company Is said to have asked its engineer whether in view of the cholera it would be possible to • reduce the proportion of organic impurities supplied to their customers. « , „\

Meantime, the approach of the true cholera is preceded by frequent cases of English cholera, and by a most alarming increase iu diarrhea and choleraic-diarrhea. Durifcg the seven weeks ending Aug. 26. the deaths from cholefa in London were 131. In the last two of these weekfe they numbered 40 and 28. Last week, the deaths' from' diarrhea in London were 487. In 17 towns and ckies, including London, the "fatal cases 'of diarrhea have risen in number from 195 to . 1.212. Iu Sheffield, the death rate from this disease alone was last week 18 per 1,090. These ngures' are not cheerful, but the Registrar-General extracts a proportion of comfort from the fact that nearly all the deaths were either of infants or aged persons. Of the 487 deaths from diarrhea in Lon­don, 450 were of infants under two years, 21 of persons 60 and more, leaving but 16 for the intermediate ages. Yet we are bid to remark that these 487 deaths from diarrhea exceed by 295 the corrected average number in the cor­responding week of the ten years 1861-70. Of the cholera-deaths last week aU were children but three, and these three all over 50 years of'age.

How fast the disease advances in Germany we learn, and I suppose you learn also, by telegraph. It was at Elbing and Dantzig last week; it was e v e n at Altona on i

the 29th, and within a week 16 persona had died. In Ko­nigsberg, on the 27th, there were 100 cases and 29 deaths; on the 28th only 79 cases, but 50 deaths. It wil l "be ob­served that the German authorities do not seem eager to publiah the news of tbtfir affliction; the latest telegram . giving us intelligence was two days old. The German towns t h a t ! know are good-hunting ground for cholera. Take Berlin and Leipzic, in which I spent some weeks daring the cholera epidemic of 1861. Both of them are ill-drained. Berlin is flat and not a healthy town in the best of times, the Spree at one end and the pools ol the l i t e r garten at the ©the*

being stagnant aifd fetid, and these are tho best quar­ters of the town. I Thore are plonty of L o n d o n districts as bad as Borlin, and othor towns worse than London. They are, as a goneral rule, to take the Registrar Gen­eral's official description, " dirty, dotted over wi th cess­pools or fouled by bad drains, and tho water alike of wells and of rivers from which towns draw their supplies are soiled to some extent by sewage." But wo have had amplo warning this time, and you have had longer than we, so that if elthor London or< New-York is swept by an epidemlo next year, they wil l have only their own stupid and wicked neglect to thank for it. I

The end of August is certainly an odd t ime to choose for any kind of a public meeting in X-ondon. I t has, however, one advantage. There is plenty of room in the newspapers for reports, and it may have been for that reason that the National Union for tho Suppression of Intemperance chose to hold a conference on Tuesday in St. James's'Hall. I confess I nevcrheard of this organi­zation before. I t is not an ally of the Alliance, with the name and objects of which everybody in America inter­ested in Temperance may be presumed familiar. I t i s rather a society for the promotion of Moderate Drinking, . and its special object in Tuesday's meeting was to discuss the amendment of the Licensing Laws. I suspect the chief interest of the meeting was due to the fac t that Earl Russell was to preside, though Earl Russell's presi­dencies are by no means so rare as to be remarkable. The old man loses no opportunity of reintroducing his name to the public. If at the same time he can find an occasion of attacking -his old colleagues, so much the better. Mr. Bruoe and his unlucky Licensing bill of last session are rather a small target, but no matter; "let me have at them," cried the noble Earl, and he did.

Whatever excitement there might be In. a performance of this kind, wa"s soon forgotten in a different sort of demonstration.4 Small as the meet ing was in numbers, lt turned but to be composed chiefly l of Alliance men, and they took possession of it completely. The Right Rovr Dr. Claughton moved a resolution for a bill next ses­sion to give tho magistrates increased discretionary power as licensers, to shorten the hours of liquor-selling on week-days and Sundays, to reduce the number of licensed houses, provide against adulteration, and en­force more stringent police regulations. Mr / Selway moved an amendment to vest the entire control of the issue of licenses in the rate-payers, such control to b© exercised by Boards elected by them. This the Alliance' people who were present went for in a body, and amid a scene of great confusion it was oarried, Mr. Selway ob­serving that he considered the National Union an organization worse than useless. Lord Russell thereupon declared that he considered the Conference at an end, and the meeting broke up. Its most practical result was to call out a leader in to-day's Times stating the Temperance view moro strongly than is usual in that journal, and i

warning the Publicans that, although they defeated last year's Licensing bill, they m u s t make up their minds to accept restrictive legislation of somo sort. The Times has conceived a sudden respect for small but thorougn-going parties, convinced a s it is that they may increase in numbers, inasmuch as' " the evils, direct and indirect, of intemperance are'so manifest as to hurry ono public man after another into a polioy of repression at all haz­ards." I t declares that " there is not a reasoning man ln the kingdom who does not believe that the consumption of intoxicating liquor in this country is at least twice as great as i t ought to be;" and t h a t " the present profits of the Trade simply express public loss and are incompati­ble with public welfare,'' And i t bids the Liquor Dealers take notice that the reduction of the whole traffic in drink is very earnestly desired by all classes of tho popu­lation, themselves excepted, and is sought by some with an ardor approaching to fanaticism. " Perhaps," l t con­cludes, " the fanatics themselves are not at present very dangerous, but they will at least keep agitation alive, and behind them is massed a force of opinion which may at any time be irresistibly exerted." F e w people, I think, would have anticipated from such a source so strong a declaration as that in respect to the Temperance Cause ln England. . I

• Mr. Hughes is in town to-day on his way to Scotland. I have not y e t seen him, but I infer from a note received this morning that he is all right again. He. came in as I was writing the last sentence, and says it is quite true. But he will be none the worse for the two months' vacation he means to take, and which he has more than earned.

VENEZUELA. SUCCESSES OF THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS.

GARACCAS, Aug. 27.—The Govennment t roops have again taken possession of the town of Barcelona. They have been successful everywhere. The Govern­ment fleet is effective in preventing the landing of revo­lutionists. The prisons are full of political prisoners. President Guzman Blanco has ordered large quantities of munitions of war from the United States, and seems determined to pacify the country. Gen. Salzar, who lately returned from the United States, has issued a pro­clamation from Curacoa against President Blanco.

PRICE FOUR GENTS. THE RING INTRIGUES.

CON-CONNOLLY SACRIFICED TO SAVE HIS I FEDERATES.

1 Controller Connolly is to be sacrificed by the rest of the Ring to shield themselves and to satisfy pub-lio clamor. Of the multitude of rumors which floated about yesterday only this and the

to he one other important Connolly's 'successor, fact that Judge Hilton was

appeared to be established The reports of a serious rupture of thejRIng which had

resulted in arraying Hall and Sweeny against Tweed and Connolly were again circulated yesterday. I t was stated positively that the former were courting Brennan, and the latter O'Brien, but there are good grounda. for be-leiving that the three chiefs^ Hall, Sweeny, and Tweed, act conjointly, and are resolved to throw Connolly over­board in the hope of districting attention from them­selves. After the stormy meeting on Thursday, at Tweed's office, Mayor Hall and Mr. Sweeny had inter­views with Brennan and Alderman Schlichting. What in­ducement to join them was held out to Brennan is not known, but Schlichting was offered the Rexristership if he would use his influence to Induce the Gewdpans to return to their allegianoe to Tammany. Brennan vas non­committal, and Alderman Schlichting decli led, saying the Germans were determined, for the preseu ;,',to remain nv dependent, and side with the party of Ref c rm. |

Yesterday^afternoon, about 1 o'clock, Mr.rSweeny and Nathaniel Sands met at Mr. Tweed's private, office, No. 85 Duane-st., and after a brief delay were admitted. What resulted from this conference it is impossible to

.say. »- '' | • '. Mayor Hall and Mr. Sweeny also met with others, yes­

terday, In private. I t is said that it was agreed among them that the Injunction against the city officials must be dissolved as against all,but Connolly, who is to be forced to resign. It will be seen that the injunction was subse­quently made permanent, until the Board of Apportion-

. ment should reorganize itself." It will probably not bo difficult for Tweed, Hall, and Sweeny, who are members* of tho Board, to reorganize it by expelling Connolly, another member. K

It was declared in the Controller's office that, ln view of the present crisis, Mr. Connolly will not vacate/hi a office untfl compelled to do so. . L.

81NGULAR CHARGE BY JUDGE BEDFORD—A SUP­POSED GOLD CONSPIRACY. I

W h e n t h e G r a n d J u r y e n t e r e d t h e C o u r t o f General Sessions yesterday, Judge Bedford addressed them aa follows: i

M B . FOREMABT AN© GENTXEHEK: I t has been broturht to my notice and that f f the District-Attorney that there is on foot a gigantio and wicked conspiracy in WaU-st. to look up millions of dollars, and which, if car­ried through, will have a tendency to check the trade and commerce of this jgreatcityj thereby injuring and indeed, Jeoparding the finances of the whole country. There may be evidence of this character brought to your not ice; if so, I ask you to act at once promptly and fear­less ly .*

I Upon Inquiry at the office of the District-Attorney as to the grounds for the charge, i t was ascertained that no complaint had been made, and that the only information received was in the shape of rumors. The object of the charge was to check any movement intended to interfere with commerce and trade before i t could obtain propor­tions sufficient to Inflict any extensive Injury. In the Gold Room the oharge excited considerable discussion, but did not Influence the price of gold. None knew whom lti was intended to affect, aa nearly, all expressed ignorance of any attempt to " l o o k u p " gold. Mr. Gar-

> land of the firm of Jay Cooke <fe Co. did not know of any feature ' i n thei gold market that seemed to call for the charge ol Judge Bedford. His first intimation of the alleged attempt to " lock u p " gold was received through the columns of the evening papers. H e did not know any one who was suspected of attempt­ing to create a combination for "locking up "purposes. ' Henry Clews regarded the report as an effort on the part of some clique largely interested In stocks to anticipate and defeat any attempt on the part of another ring to " bul l" the gold market and thus -depress other securi­ties. Harvey Fisk of Fisk & Hatch also stated that so far as ho knew there was no movement in the street to effect any such result.

TEE SLEEPY HOLLOW TRAGEDY.

STAY OF PROCEEDINGS GRANTED IN THE BUCK-HOUT CASE BY JUDGE PRATT OF BROOKLYN.

All the preparations for the execution of Isaao V. W. Buckhout, the Sleepy Hollow murderer, were duly completed yesterday morning by Sheriff Brun-dage of Westchester, who went to the prisoner's cell in the White Plains jail at 8 o'clock, and announced to him that the sentence of the law would be fulfilled at 9, Buckhout, who had passed a quiet night, listened oalmly to the Sheriff's words, and was evidently prepared to die. Ho then dressed himself in a neat suit of black,

and received tho Eucharist from the Rev. Mr. Van Kleeck. Sheriff Brundage, upon leaving Buckhout, passed out of the Jail, and was j met by Francis Larkin, the prisoner's counseL Mrl Larkin handed to the Sheriff a paper, which upon examination proved to be an order to stay tho execution of Buckhout's sen­tence, signed by Judge- Pratt of the Supreme Court on the previous day.

8heriff Brundage—This stay of proceedings was signed by Judge Pratt yesterday. Would n't it have been moro humane, Mr. Larkin, to have given me this paper last night I

Mr. Larkin—I got it,to you Just as soon as I could. The excitement was intense in White Plains upon the

announcement of Judge Pratt's action, and great indig­nation was expressed that he should thus have set aside the result of three careful and expensive trials. Deputy-Sheriff Ford at [once hastened to the cell of Buckhout and told him of -Mr. Larkin's suc­cess. Buckhout sprang up. and exclaimed, "That's good news, and I am glad to hear i t I am a young man only 38 years old, and I want some years of life to redeem myself. I was prepared to die, and hav'nt worried for the past two months. I had given up all hope .this morning,, but now I love life and don't want to ale." Buckhout was also visited by his brother, B. B. Buckhout of Poughkeensie. The: prisoner asked why Judge Pratt's order was not brought to the'prison the evening previous, so that the night of suspense might have been spared. The brother replied that he wanted "to surprise some people."

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT OF THE ANTI-RLNG : , ' DEMOCRATS.

The formidable secession of the Germans from Tammany will be succeeded next week by a deter­mined and strong effort at the reorganization of the Dem­ocratic party id this city upon an honest basis^—a reform certainly very much demanded, and one which will be' as severe a blow to the Ring as the defection of the Ger­mans.

The preliminary arrangements.were made last evening, and will be ooncluded on Monday night. "At the meeting last night ex-Mayor Havemeyer and many other prom­inent citizens-were present. Tax-payers, non-partisan men of wealth, and oniy a few politicians, are among those actively engaged in the new movement. I t is sup­posed that Mr. s! J. Tildon, acting for the State Central Committee, urges it. An appeal will be made to the citizens, urging the reorganization of the Democracy, and showing the absolute necessity for -se­lecting honest leaders. This address, already praoticaily decided upon, will be long and forcible. It will allude

• to the sudden and ootempbraneous Increase in the debt of the oity and the wealth of its rulers as convincing proof of the Ring's ^corruption and the demoralization of the party which I they lead, and as imperatively de­manding reorganization. It will allude to the " beauti­fying of the public parkB" a n d . " a few other deeds of usefulness" as blinds to conceal from tho people the

, The motion for the stay of proceedings was argued be­fore Judge Pratt late Thursday afternoon; District-At­torney Dykman of Westchester appearing for the peo­ple, and Mr. Larkin for t_« pri-oner. The Jud«e aignart the order at 6:30 o'clock, and Mr. Larkin Immediately started for White Plains, arriving there at 8 ln the even­ing. After supper, and a stroll around the village, he went to bed without informing Buckhout of his safety, and left him to face his doom until the hour of execution was olose at hand.

SPEECHES B Y MR. BARTLETT A N D E X - J U D G E

B A R R E T T - n J U D G E B A R N A R D ^ D E C I S I O N . 1

The legal battle against Tammany, which has been waged during the last week before Judge Bar­

nard, closed yesterday with a victory for the people, so

sudden as to be a surprise to the moat sanguine. Mr.

Bartlctt opened the day with a brief and by no means

effective defense of Mr. Tweed. When j he con­

cluded, i t Is not too much to say that a feel­

ing of relief spread itself among the audience,

and whenever ex-Judge Barrett rose to reply a thrill of ex­

ultant expectation ran through the court-room. The

incredulous smile which almost amounted to a sneer

when Mr. Bartlett spoke of his client as one to bo trusted /

by the people, and'one who was not afraid to trust hira^

self to their decision at the polls, and the Indignant

denial which flashed from every countenance when .

he charged that the complaint was brought to

further the political interests of tho plaintiff's

counsel, suddenly changed to a look of honest satisfac­

tion at the able argument of the gentleman who haa

assumed the championship of the people la this oase.

Mr. Barrett spoke .almost without interruption for fully

three hours, but not once did the interest manifested in

the outset flag, while he was frequency applauded during

his speech, the Court offering no remonstrance against

the natural and spontaneous tokens of approvaL When

Mr. Barrett concluded, Judge Barnard, to the surprise of

nearly every one present, proceeded to deliver his decision

in favor of the plaintiff, and sustaining the injunction.

H e was interrupted by frequent applause, whioh was

particularly enthusiastic when he concluded. The fal­

lowing interview between Judge Barnard and a TRIB­

U N E reporter, who met him soon after the decision was

pronounced, clearly shows what the people have thereby gained in the fight with the Ring:

Reporter—What will be the effect, Judge, of your deci­sion this afternoon! j

Barnard—Everything for a time must come to a stand­still. There must be a remedy applied to-the past state of things. The men now in control of our municipal affairs must rearrange things and insure us an economi­cal government. It is impossible for us to allow high­way robbery in civic government.

Reporter—Judge, what impelled you to your decision » Barnard—My duty was so clear that I could not escape

it. The responsibility of my decision—affecting, as it so seriously does, the government of our city—is with tho men who have stolen tho money of tho tax-payers; i t does not rest on the administrators of the law. They have no alternative but to do what they believe to be their sworn duty.

Reporter—Do you think that there is any apprehension or trouble in consequence of your dc-

COTTON CROP- PROSPECTS.

W A S H I N G T O N , S e p t . 1 5 . — T h e c o t t o n c r o p r e ­ports, purporting to have come from the Department o( Agriculture during the pa6t month, have not been genu" ine. The items in circulation, often contradictory in tenor and assuming to be official, have had no origin in the statistical data of that office. The returns of Sep­tember include reports from about 400 cotton-growing counties, representing a very large proportion of the cotton area. " Those for August point t o an average con­dition of tho crop almost identical with that of the pre­ceding reports, tho averages for Alabama and Missis­sippi being the same, those of Louisiana and Tennes­see being_ higher, and those of other Cotton States lower. The State averages of the September I report are somewhat lower than those of August, though the principal depreciation' obcurs in the States which yield a small proportion of the crop^- while the re­duction is slight in the important district represented by the States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisi­ana. The percentage of full condition in the first week of September, as averaged from all the obtainable data, - __._ ._ ,*_.„* «-i,_'-iM-~fa Tux/.ninHr.r.n «nd its rrlmfts atrainst is thus stated: North Carolina, 82; South Carolina. 80; enormity of the Ring's peculations and its crimes against

the tax-payers of the city. 'It will declare that the peo­ple are becoming mere Berfs in the hands of the Ring,

Georgia, 78; Florida, 75; Alabama, 80; Mississippi, 80; Louisiana, 77; Texas, 81; Arkansas, 95; Tennessee, 96. There are reports of injuries by the boll-worm and cater­pillar mu inly in Mississippi and Louisiana, but no evi­dence that a general or very Berious loss from insects is inrobable. Rust is common in the Atlantic States, and to some extent on the Gulf coast. Drouth has been inju­rious In the Carolinas and Texas, though the reports of rainfalls through the South indicate a fair supply of moisture, the distribution of-which has been somewhat more unequal than usual. At one point in Georgia the fall in August was nearly 14 inches, and in

\pArts of Florida it amounted to 33 inches. The variable atmospheric conditions have Increased the prev­alence of rust, and caused the destruction of both leaves

.and fruit. These drawbacks, though greater than those reported in*Septomber of last year, are not sufficiently serious to excite apprehensions of a greatly depredated yield. Thejiaare reported each year in some portions of tho cotton area. In the records last year there was con­siderable complaint o'f damages to the cotton crop from rust, worms, andnnfavorable August weather. These fact's do not point to an enlargement of the expectation hitherto indulged in. If they are trustworthy, the most favorable season could scarcely bring a crop exceeding 3,350,000 bales. If the growing season'should be shbrt or unfavorable, 3,000;000 bales would-be a good result; and with a combination of unfavorable circumstances, the product might be still further reduced.

CITY LABORERS DEMANDING PAY. 'THE CONTROLLER'S OFFICE AGAIN BESIEGED—

SWEENEY'S LITTLE TRICK.

About 200 of the pipe-layers ,pn the Croton Water-Works assembled early yesterday morning in and near the City Chamberlain's Office, supposing that they would receive the money due them. • Upon being iu-formed that it'would hot then be paid,) about 60 of them resolutely entered the l Controller's, office and called loudly for Connolly. I

" He Is not in," said one of the clerks. j " Then he must come ln," said the workmen, who were '

• becoming more and more impatient. Affairs were begin­ning to look rather serious, when Mr. Storrs, the Deputy-Controller's Clerk, quieted the men by saying:

" You are on a different pay-roll from those who were paid yesterday, and your vouchers have not been prop­erly made out. As soon as this is done the Controller will sign the rolls, and you will get your money.?'

The men then dispersed, evidently very much dissatis­fied. It is said that Mr. Sweeny, for the purpose of annoying the Controller, caused these laborers to besiege his office. '

KLUEBER COMMITTED TO THE TOMBS. *

Louis Klueber, senior pa r tne r in the firni that manufactured the torpedoes which exploded at No 126 Beekman-st. on Thursday, was brought before Cor­oner Young, yesterday, and in default of $10,000 bail, was committed to the Tombs to await the result of the inves­tigation, which will begin on Monday, at 10 a. m. Tho suit against the firm for violating the provisions of the Fire law, in bringing fireworks into t h e city, and storing or offering them for sale, without a license, was to have been begun yesterday, in Justice Fowler's Court, at Jef­ferson Market, the complainant being Charles E.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

ITHACA, N. Y. , 'Sept . 14 .—The examinations for entering students have been in progress since Mon­day, and about 250 students have been examined. The enter ingdass this year will not be as largo as that of last year, but will number much above 200. The prospects for the year are very fine. President White stated in his address before the students this morning that this would without doubt be tho most prosperous year yet known.

t He stated also that in the past years of the University the preference had been given to the scientific schools, in order that they might be pushed forward and per­fected; that now, however, this measure had been in great part secured, at h?ast so far as to warrant the trus­tees to make greater preparations for tho Classical De­partment, and to secure a full professorship in both Latin and Greek. Heretofore, only one Professor and an assistant were employed in that department. A nro-feesor of architecture haj been secured, and, it is ex­pected, will reach here about the last of the month. Prof. Geo. W. Green has also been secured to deliver a course of lectures on American History before the Senior Class. This is only a beginning of what the Trustees hope to make of this depurtmeui. An announcement of this was hailed with cheers from the students. The Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman years are now filled with large classes, (the present Senior being the only class that has gone through the tour years. Large, Invoices of ^machinery ar|> received daily for the Sibley Building, and put in place there. The University presses have all'been placed in a room of that building and.con-

' nected with the engine-room. The McGraw. building is nearly finished, and the President's house has been com­menced. The design of the latter was made by a student iu architecture connected with this institution. The' income, of • the University is, it is said. $125,000, and it is expected that i t will exceed this sum' before anotner year. The tuition fee has been raised from tlO to $15; for this no reason has been given. The new professors who commenced their duties this morning were Prof. Tracy Peck, formerly of Yale, Pro­fessor of Latin; Mr. J. L. Flag* of Harvard, Professor of Greek; Pror. Thomas J . Tilney of Yale, Professor of Rhetoric; Prof. F. E. Loomiss of Yale, Professor of Physics. • .'. 'I

Thdre is still a large quantity of machinery for the Sibley building to be received from -Europe. Mr. Siblev' furulihes all of this. The regular work of the year will commence on Monday. New students are still coming in.

of disturbance cis lon!

Barnard—It is very possible. Still, the authorities are, of course, competent to preserve the peace of the oity.

Reporter—rOn whom does the responsibility of the present criste principally rest. '

Barnard—The theory that Mr. Connolly is only partly responsible is absurd. The whole responsibility for the signing of the warrants falls upon him. The Mayor cer­tainly countersigned t h e m ; but I do not believe that the Mayor, by any exercise of human endurance or mental vigilance, can sustain anything like a thorough supervi­sion of the Controller's accounts, any more than Presi­dent Grant can exercise a thorough supervision over the accounts of tho National Treasury. The Executive must give a certain allowance of rope to Its subordinates.

Reporter—Can thhj perpetual injunction bo in any w a y dissolved 1 ,! •

Barnard—It canj; but not iill the General Term of the Supreme Court meets in December. But, practically, the people have already got every remedy which the law can grant.

Reporter—Is there any possible escape for the City au­thorities from the legal effects of this injunction t

Barnard—None whatever. I t is impossible. No f tho Peppl©, ELu.u_-U Ov_ r_v-» C n n r i i h^VA "- r-'^*-*--stopped any possibility of farther stealings: "When the present crisis is passed, the City Government will go on as usual, but it will have been purified.

Reporter—What Is tho exact bearing of your de­cision!

Barnard—That the injunction shall continue in force pending a revision of the Board of Apportionment.

Reporter—But they may resolve on a course of masterly inaction.

Barnard—They cannot. My decision compels them to go to work at once.

Reporter— Does your decision bear immediately on the Controller, or any one other member of tho Bord of Ap­portionment!

" A H !" was the only reply of the Judge. There is little doubt that the injunction, as confirmed,

is aimed directly at Connolly and will bo used to compel his resignation. ,

The following is the substance of Mr. Bartlett's remarks yesterday in defense of Wm. M. Tweed:

ARGUMENT OF W. O. BARTLETT. In an action of John Foley against several defendants , ,

including Wm. M. Tweed, who is my. client, an order of ' injunction was granted by your Honor, ex parte, without notice, several days ago, pretty broad in its terms as ap­plied to several of tho defendants, and really a manda­mus under tho name of an injunction, not of much im-

.portance except in its effect upon public opinion against my client, Mr. Tweed. I am hero upon an order to show cause why that injunction should not be continued.; I think that, so far as my client is concerned, I should be quite safe in submitting the case to your Honor without any argument at aU Upon the affidavits which have been read iu the case. We are not here to tijy this oase; we have not put in our answer ybt, and the time has just begun to lapse within which we are allowed by law to tile our answer. Bui we have met for the sake of the case generally, all the charges of any importance contained in the complaint in this action. We have met, for the purpose of this mo-tibn, all!or the points, by a separate affidavit, which' are ptrt ineatto the mandamus granted against my client. He is enjoined by your honor to perform certain official duties. He answers that he has performed thorn faitli-fiilJy and fully before he was enjoined—before he waw commanded. • It is hardly proper to call-it enjoined, bujti that, phrase is used by the plaintiff iu his ora^r; ho hajsj performed them faithfully and fully, aud ho so answers! under oath. He is corroborated in his statement pre-' cisely and fully under oath by the Mayor of this City.

We are hero with I the oath of Wm. M. Tweed, who is known to the citizens of New-York for a quarter of a century, that he has doue all that he has beeii com­manded bj- your Honor to do*ln this mandamus; we are here with the oath of A. Oakey Hall, who is also known to the citizens of New-York, that Mr. Tweed has done all that he has been commanded to do. Against that, is the simple oath or the plaintiff in this case; and I shall show your Houor as I proceed that he has sworn to untruly, so recklessly, and so falfcely.in this action, that the maxim of the htw,/a/««f in uno.falsus in omyiibus, maj-well be applied to him, and that he is not-to be believed at all.

This action is entitled John Foley against the Board of Supervisor, etc. The Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of New-York mentioned ln it Is. I think, a corporation. The learned gentlemen will not dispute that point. But as they dispute so many established principles of law, I may *a well remind them that the very latest charter of this city states that the Mayor, AldermoD, and Com­monalty so continue to be a "body corporate" In fact and in name. Aud the same Legislature which passed that charter enacted that an iuj auction shall not .be granted against a corporation except upou a'notice of at least eight day*, and an injunction granted for any of the purpose** mentioned exeept upon the said notice shall be void. Now here is an injunction granted without notice, and If the enactment of the Legislature is auytblag, that injunction is void. These gentlemen then encounter a difficulty before they get through the yery title of j the action—they cannot name themselves wkbont a vfcht-t iouof law. .Then they say that the plaintiff is a el tuen of New-York, and is aosesaed to pay and does pay taxes therein. Is that any reason w b y > e should hare a stand­ing in this Court 1 The Court of Appeals has decided that as a tax-payer he could not maintain an action prior to the statute of 18M.' Ln a ease before your Honos, you decided that the law of 180* gavo a ^ a x - p a y e r n o auch standing, except as against the Board of tkq>ervisowjuxa the Common CounciL He has, therefore, no sUndiitg here as against toe Corporation of the City «tl*ew-York,! nor awtinst the Mayor as a yersou or indlvidttaL nOr against my cl ient I say, therefore, there i s no case here in contemplation of law. _ *__•„-_ rt* •>,«•

Now, your jHonor,. there is another feature of thai complaint to which i call T^^^ffiUf. tfJ3^J? with a looseness of l*fjiseol<>gywhJoh would be inad-mlsidble in any newspaper Article. . ° 5 e , ^ ^ « j B « t mirases I meet i s one wnieh I wrote down years ago in mstructing my o w n ^ n s i u ^ o a i ^ t i o n a s f " " 1 * ! ? * * ^ and never t6 be used.
