The Democratic Aldermen held a
caucus last evening" and agreed upon
the re election of all the present city
officers. The matter orthoselection,
of police was deferred. It is unuer
itood that there will be no changes in
the personnel of the force, which" is a
Tery trood one. There has been a good
deal of talk about reducing the sala
ries and fees of officials, but when
these were looked into carefully it was
found that they were not excessive; iu
fact not nearly so large as was " geifer
ally believed,, and no reducriorrwas
made. The chief of the fire depart
ment is to get $300 a year, instead of
$ioo. : . :--. k 't ! ;
The annual election -of the1 offers
of the Governor's Guard, last evening,
resulted in no chances.
I Inquiry was made to dayf fruit
and grape growers as to the prospects
this season It is the unanimous
opinion that this is- the best year 6a
record for fruit and grapes. The only
troub'e is tbat it appears to be an eff
year for apples.. Many of the trees
did not bloom. .
There has baen an tmusual amount
of interest expressed this year m the
memorial day services. There are GUI

It is not probable that much will bo
done in the matter of wort on the
sewerage until the autumn, save in a
, preliminary way. It is not thought
best to dig up the streets in summer
time. Much Datiou.il care, meanwhile
be procured, so that when the wrk
begins
there need be no delay. The
system
of sewerage is already agreed
upon

fall is ample, in several directions.

Loni0k May S.-r-Parneh,i examtn
at:ou was; fiathed before theiecial
commission to day. He testified that
the recepti'jn committee in America
comprised tne leading merchants of
New; York, representative citizens and
pwistersof religion; In his speeches
l? ,eT Yoik tbe witness had de
clared that not a farthiosr contributed
to the Irish cause would go toward
organizlnr a rebellion in Ireland,
gnrpugfcout his tour in4 the United
States he had neyer swerved a hair's
br adth from that declaraticn.
I. Attorney General Webster, witness
paid, had quoted from five out of sixty
speeches he had made in the - United
States, ignoring the Reneral tenor of
his speeches ; so as to misrepresent
his tvord i all the names the Attorney
General; had mentioned as those of
persons who were associated with the
meetings were only a small fraction of
those who had attended. Men ot
prominent position and of nndoubtei
respectability attended those meet
ngs. Ia no sense co ild the American
receptioa.be iientified with the pra
ceedingi of the Pnysical Force party.
iWitness. firmly believed that none of
his colleagues, since jriniug the Irish
jParliamentary party, had had any
thing to do with the Fenians. Only
casually did Fenians come within the
orDit or tae constitutional movement.
tlere Parnell, scoreoVby remarking,
pat torches were more certainly as
sociated with the movement, for in
stance when they co operated with the
Farneliteto obstruct the criminal code
bill to- death, referring to some letters
.of hit', Parnell said, he bad copies made
from his Secretary's x;shor? hand
notes. ? ' 1 ' ' .
At this point, AttorneyxGeneral
Webiter said : "It seems thatx there
exists a book of the copies of Parneji's
letters. I would like to see that book.x.
Sir Charles Russell 'by all means."
P residing J ustice Hannen "If the e
letters refer to the league, they ought
to have been disclosed."
Parneli "Your Iordship3 are wel
come to se& any letter I eyer wrote or
received." ' - . '""'-.
Attorney General Webster recurring
to tne examination of Pamelas private
ibank account, wanted to trace a num
ber of checks and warm discussion
ensued. - y "N- ' .. ;
Sir Charles Russell' declared that
such action would be unfair. J
Justice Hannen suggested the post
ponement of inquiry into this matter,
until fuller documents were before the
court.-? - ..; '- -,"'..:-,'' i.-t-Ar.ihhUliftn
WaIsH hfira took, the
stand. He testified that he came to
he conclusion before 1863 that there
was need of a defensive land organi
zation and was proceeding to givehis.
opinion of the necessity for such an
organization when justice Hannen in terposed
saying; the inquiry must j be
limited to whether or not the land
league was necessary. '
Attorney General Webster, submit-
ted that matters of opinion were not
admissable. '". ( . :
Biggar urged - that the opinion evi"
dence had been given over and over
acrain by "hirelings of the govern
ment." Justice Hannen warned Big
gar that he must nottnake use of such
expressions, isiggar men saiainat
unless such evidence was admitted the
whole inquiry would end iu smoke, v
The Judges here retired to consider
the matter privately. On their return
Justice ilannen announced that
they had decided that it was
not permissabie to ask the witnesi,
however distinguished, abstract ques
tions, of opinions. The facts known
to the witnesses ought to be laid before
the court before opiuions based there
on were mentioned. The mere ex
pression of the Archbishop's opinion,
the Justice said was inadmissable. The
Archbishop, continuing, said that in
the course of his visits through his
diocese he had abundant means of
knowing that the league denounced
the outrages. Many preasts had joined
the league with his full approval. He
saw nothing in the action for the mem
bers of the league to forbid the clergy
joining tne organization.
