New York, N. Y., June 24. The pa
city government, it seems a hope
less problem.
Mbs. Crokeb kept her eye on her hus
band duriug the entire examination, and
when he had been under fire more than
four hours, she was examined. Like a
dutiful wife she corroborated every
thing her husband had said. There was
no danger of their testimony conflicting,
for she heard every word of his evidence.
Mbs. Crokeb is a tall and fine-looking
woman. She has brown eyes, black hair
and rosy cheeks, and was richly attired
in black silk.
1 here are jobs in public buildings-
jobs in every city contract rascality and
bribery from bottom to top. And it
doesn't make any difference which party
is in power. In Philadelphia, the Re
publicans control, and there it is the
same way as in New York, where the
Democrats have the majority. The
"heelers" name the 'officers, and the
private citizen goes about his business
and neglects his public duty. The day
must come in this country when every
man will be required by law to vote. At
the last election in this State oyer 300,-
000 qualified voters remained away
from the polls. Most of that number
were respectable, industrious citizens
who are absolutely indifferent upon all
political problems and governmental
questions. If they were to vote, most
of them would vote for good govern
ment and against ring3 and tricksters.
But they stay away from the polls and
bad men are elected to office. Men are
compelled by law to serve on juries, and
to do a multitude of things that citizen
ship carries with it. Why not compel
them to vote? This question is worthy
The new Constitution of the United
States of Brazil was promulgated at Rio
Janerio on the 25th instant. It propo
sed a federal system fashioned very near
ly after that of the United States. The
president, who h to be elected for a term
of six years, is responsible alone to the
nation and the ministers are to be re
placed by- Secretaries of State who, are
answerable'to the President alone.
Parliament will consist of a House of
Representatives and St-nate. The pow
ers of these two bodies will be of a pure
ly legislative character, and an adverse
vote by either chamber will not entail a
change of ministry. A new House of
Representatives will be elected trienni-
ally and a new Senate every nine years.
The first presidential election will be by
Congress, and has been fixed for Novem
ber next.
This constitution will be the funda
mental law of the land only after the
constituent assembly shall have approv
ed it, which approval is not likely to be
withheld long, as all f el the necessi
ty of legalizing the government just as
soon as possible. Immediately after the
decreeing of the constitution there will
be an election f orSenators and Deputies
63 of the former (three for each State and
federal district) and 200 of the latter,
according to population. The two
chambers will meet and begin their
legislative labors together in a constitu
ent capacity. Immediately after their
first regular session aad election of
presiding officers the provisional gov
ernment will place in their hands the
functions of government exercised by
the latter since the change effected on
the 15th of November last, and the as
sembly will at once select the new chief
of state, who will then proceed to or
ganize a regular cabinet of ministers,
ihen the assembly win revise the con
stitution, and afterwards promulgate it
as revised . Sabsf quently the two cham
bers will assume their respective func

and a ft eling that something was going

fa ad of $180,000 with which to secure
Grant's confirmation as Commissioner
of Fnblio Works, and that by reason of
a deal Mayor G rant had made Croker's
daughter a present of $25,000 in five in
stalments. It created a great sensation
here, where everybody abuses Tammany
Hall (and in some rospects not unjustly).
When Mayor Grant admitted that he
gare Croker's daughter, for whom he
was God-father, $10,000, the sensation
was profound, and it looked like Croker
and Grant were "in the soup." Then
the cry went up for Croker, and he
talegraphed that, in violation of the ad
vice of his physician, he would come at
OQce to New York 'and testify and clear
np everything. Yesterday he did so;
and it was a big day and a momentous
day for Tammany HalL He looked pale
and sallow and positively ill, and was
apparently neivous. He appeared in a
drab suit of mixed plaid cloth, his hair
and beard cut closely. He looks very
much like General Grant. It is well
known that the late John Kelly, boss
of Tammany, resembled ' General
Grant, and it Is said that the
close resemblance of Mr. Croker to
John Kelly was oLe of his chief recom
meudations to receive the mantle of that
Tammany Saobem. He is a wise sort of
man and is not lacking in the wisdom of
silence which was a large part of the
stock In trade of Gen. Grant and John
Kelly. He bore himself well on the

drawn out tones of voice and kept his

office of the Serjeant-at-Arms, about
forty feet from the hall of the House, he
stopped and said : 4 'Well, I have
changed. I am going into the House to
vote for the lottery." No sooner had
he uttered these words than he fell to
the floor, stricken with paralysis. The
Lottery vote was thus reduced to sixty-
five again, and this explains why the
vote on the biil was again postponed.
Harris, of De Soto, previously an anti,
was then prevailed upon by the Lottery
lobby to change his position. This re
stored to them their sixty-six. But
again an untoward event dashed the
hopes of the Lottery aside. Ten minutes
before the gavel of the speaker fill, Cole,
of Caddo, a recent convert from the
antis, fell over in bis seat with a stroke
similar to Rodeb's, and was carried in
sensible from the House. And so, by this
fateful happening, once more the Lot
tery's votes were swung back sixty-five.

PITT COUNTY POLITICS.
We publish elsewhere in to-day's
Chronicle an original article on Pitt
county Politics and Politicians. It is in
teresting. Pitt county politics have always com
manded deep interest, not only at home,
but abroad. It is related that when the
late Col Duncan K. MacRae was Con
sul General to Paris, he was asked by
the Emperor Napoleon why it was that
Pitt county always gave a big Whig
majority, and Edgecombe county, which
adjoins it, always gave a large Demo
cratic majority. The Emperor said that
he could not understand how it was that
people living side by side homogeneous
and engaged in the same occupation
should be so far apart in their politics.
Col. MacRae was much surprised that
the Emneror should know so well the
UQineaamageu himself, as Grant had political situation in North Carolina,
ireauj uuue, ujr me uuu aa mission and in these two Eastern counties It
that the Mayor had given his daughter Bhowed his mastery of details and his
a present or f3,uuu at amerent times thorough information.
ron ko consideration, ana mat ne and
his wife had invested the money, not as
trustees for Flossie, but in their own
names jointly. That admission ia fatal
to his pretence that Grant did not pay
this aa an assessment. That Grant
should give a little girl $10,000 because
he was her god-father is not anywhere
believed and Crokir's admission that
' tt gave it, ia fatal to hia own and
Giant's political integrity. Or it wonld
be in North Carolina.
Thapity of all thia scandal is that it
positively toakes no impression here.
All parties do inch things aud the moral
conscience of the people ia so blunted
and ao debauched that after a passing
txcUmation, It all dies down except in
the papers. Grant may not run again,
Right at this time of the
year nearly every one is
contemplating taking a
trip of some kind.
One may think they have
all the clothes needed for a
trip anywhere, hut still
there are many little
things that escape one's
thoughts until the last mo
ment.
No matter whether one's
requirements are great or
small, they will naturally

what they need.

Judge James Lawrenson a Notary
who swore in twenty-five Postmaster
Generals, died in Baltimore on the 23rd
lust. He was born in Bristol, England,
ia 1803 and was 87 years old. More
than seventy years of his life were spent
in the postal service, and he was a con
spicuous example of the benefit of the
system that makes individual merit the
test of fitness for office, rather than
partisan service. He was the oldest
continuous holder of a civil service
position in the United States, bavins
faithfully served the Postal Department

Presidents.

Having recently completed a plant, with the
most modern and improved machinery for
the manufacture of ice, we are turning out the
prettiest, clearest and firmest ice that has ever
been manufactured in this country.
Every block being of uniform size, it packs
in the car closely, and will suffer . less loss in
transportation than either natural ice or that
manufactured by the old process.
As to purity, we challenge comparison.
Every gallon of water we use is first evapor
a ed into steam under a pressure of one hun
dred pounds to the square inch and con
densed before freezing, thus insuring water
as pure as it comes from the clouds. Car
load quantities on short notice. Full weights
