Nsw York, March 17.—City Chamberlain William M. Ivins made an address on "Political Amwnnnti" at Urn meeting of the Harlem Democratic club last evening. He tairf that public offices were practically put up at auction and knocked down to the men who were able to pay the largest assessments and to spend the most money ou election day. "The political history of New York is a pecuii'-ir and painful one," he said. "Up to 1850 it wax entirely reputable, and it was not uwtil the great metropolis had developed that it fell into corrupt way*. The rfeign of Tweed ami Sweeney followed, and when this was overthrown many of its methods of orrau'zntion and party traditions still remained. Eich candidate was expected to look C ut for his own canvass, and this led to (rent expense. "A change was demanded, and the plan was inaugurated by John Kelly of having the candidates pay an as,«ssment to the organization, which would assume all theduties of the canvass and see that the mopey was properIv exiDend id. But this proved to be only a temporary advantage, and it did very well when Tammany Hall was without rivals, bat everything changed when the County JMnocracy and Irving Hall came Into the field. They adopted the same principles, and each of tlie three organizations tried to excel the others in the amount of money raised. "In 1870 Tammany hall raised $105,000, and it was never so low again. Each year, from 1&0 to 1386, the amount raised by each orpa ir.ition was not far from $250,000. Honey anon counted up when the resfister paid $M).00i, ns Reilly did; when a judge paid $30,000, as a judge now on the bench paid; when the district attorney paid from $10,000 to $15,000, and the mayor $25,000. '•The amount of money spent last year for .political purposes was not leas than $700,- «N0, and in a presidential year the amount is $1,030,000. This is money spent in the .tty alone, and dooa not include contributions ior national and state purposes.

Of this number the sanitary authorities think that they intercept about 50 per cent. The rest escape them, not because it is skillfully smuggled into the city, but because the force of inspectors is too small to keep track of it. The unwholesomeness "of this "bob" veal," as it is called, is not generally appreciated, and the comparatively light penalty which is inflicted on butchers who knowingly sell it as good veal indicates that the law makers, or the justices before whom the offenders are brought, do not estimate the injury which its sale may cause. Dr. Edson, of the health board, explains its effects thus: Trknton, March 17.—The Morris and Kmox coon has come down, and the legisla'iiits may put up its charter repeal gun. Governor Green has sent in a eomniunicaion submitting a proposition made by the ailroa l company for the settlement of its lifflculf.y with the state. In the first place, the company agrees to surrender its alleged rights to exemption from taxation and pay at once a tax for the years 1885 and 18SG upon its property, in accordance with the general law cf 188JL The questions as to the alleged fradulent reports of the company for the past thirty years are to be submitted to the decision of two arbitrators, one hnsen by the governor and one by the comply. The attorney general lias approved )f this plan, and Governor Green recommended its adoption. A bill in accordance with this reconnnendation wok passed by rhe I'-semlily yesterday, and will undoubtedly viss the senate. This will take the place of he bill repealing the charter of ttio company, which passed the assembly last week. The caucus anti-discrimination bill came up as a special order on second readinj-. After debate the bill was amende ! so as to make it unlawful to give preference to any except perishable freight.

Tlia sixth section was amended to make the damage payable thrice the amount suffered, 'I'iia five coinmiss.oners shall receive $.5,000 per annum each, and their clerk $2,000. The Republican meinliers of the Philadelphia delegation fa the house of representatives met last night and decaled unanimously to rearrange the congressional apport.onment for Fhiludelphie so as to provide a Democratic district for Mr. Rind all. question. All the Republican senators excepting Mr. Kellogg were in attendance. For some time great pressure has been brought to bear in behalf of Mr. Arkell's confirmation, In whose interest, among others, ex-Senators Hamilton, Harris and Sessions were enlisted. Through tl'eir management it was believCd that an arrangement had been effected that insured the confirmation of Mr. Arkell. The arrangement is understood to have included the four Milller senators, Messrs. Pitts, Smith, Walker and Connolly, and Messrs. Raines, Vedder, McMillan, Hendricks and Fassett, of the Piatt contingent. To these were added Messrs. Griswold and Worth, who previously had been indifferent, to put the matter mildly. It was found, however, that the combination would not work, owing to the fact, it is intimated, that Senator Worth failed to evinoe that deep interest in Mr. Arkell's fortunes that had been expected. The result was a draw all around and the Arkoll nomination was suspended upon an obscure peg and left to its fate, the belief being general tljpt it will never reach the senate in any form.

Fred Wallace, of Rockport, Mo., lashed himself to the fi'i-estay, but at daylight nothing oould be s: e:i of liim, he having evidently been washed away during the night The cook, whose nnme is unknown, was lashed to the foremasthead. He died from exposure. The two seamen saved managed to keep from freezing by pounding each other until daylight "The flesh of undeveloped calvos is not connected by fibrous matter, as in the cose of good veal and other meats, and in the stomach it remains like a lump of putty, the gastric juices being able to attack it only from the outside. In the case of other meats the fibres fall apart and the digestive fluids permeate the whole mass. The result is that this young veal, when swallowed, putrefies instead of being digested. No one needs to be told what the result of this is. 'Bob' veal has no nutritious qualities even if digested. A man might starve to death while eating it The principal sources of the 'bob' veal brought into this city are Orange, New Jersey and the grazing jaround? above Harlem. The season for "begins about Feb. 1, and lasts till May. The farmers want to get rid of the calves so as to get the milk from their cows. They are therefore willing to pait with the newly born calves at a very small price. Knowing this, unscrupulous dealers send agents among the farmers, buying up the young calves' in large numbers. The usual price paid is $1 a head. As they can dispose of the hides at about the same rate, the purchasers are thus able to take the risk of the health authorities seizing a large proportion of their parchases. As a rule the carcases are sent" to the city skinned, and all that is got for them is clear profit Of oourse, many butcher* are- Imposed upon, getting 'bob' veal when they order veal, but in the majority of cases the butchers are unscrupulous and know just what they are buying."

Indorsed by the Cincinnati Knights of The senate tackled Governor Green's grist •Df appointment*. That of Judge John W. Westcott, for law judge of Camden county, was rejected. The rejection of thls'nominaion is the result of a Republican caucus, and is based nominally upon renjpnstrance* made by a large part of the Camden bar igainst the appointment, but really upon the fact that Judge Wesicott is too active a Democr atic worker to su'4 the Republican idea of dignity for the jud clal ermine. He was the Democratic candidate for congress iu the First district last fall, and made a heated canvass without resigning his place on the bench. The same caucus decided to reject the nomination of ex-Senator John Carpenter, Jr., for riparian commissioner. This is following the example of the iast senate, which rejected Carpenter when Governor Abbott appointed him. - The real reason of the rejection is alleged to be a partisan one, although the reason given is the h£t that many years ago Carpenter was expelled from the clerkship of a Democratic assembly after an investigation on a charge of having made a corrupt bargain to secure the place. He has since then served a term as senator from Hunterdon county without doing himself any discredit Labor Organ. CiltcnfifAK.

Narrow Escape from Wreck and Fire en Rochester, N. Y., March 17.—'The following dispatch was received by The Herald last night from Geneva: At 6 o'clock the eastern passenger train and the local freight tried the timeworn feat of passing on the same track with the usual result, a collision, just west of this station on the New York Central As the trains struck the engineer and fireman of the freight train jumped. The engineer, Fred Manning, broke his leg and the arm of the fireman, Michael Moore, was broken. The passenger mail agent was severely injured about the head. Several of the freight cars are badly smashed. The mail car on the passenger train was smashed to pieces and caught fiifc. The local fire department was called upon to subdue the flames. All the mall was saved, "there were three coachm filled with passengers. Some of the passengers were badly shaken up, a few being thrown from their seats, but were otherwise uninjured. It is aaid the cause of the accident was that the train tried to reach a switch a short distance from where the accident occurred before the arrival of the eastern bound passenger train, and that the freight was encroaching on the passenger train's time. A thousand people gathered quickly at the scene of the catastrophe to see the wreck. ▼anderbllts' Koad.

Bourne told of bis having become suddenly blind twenty-flve years ago. Joeeph C. Middleton, who now lives in Norristown, was at that time a resident ol Gloucester, N.

At that time Bourne told the story of his being mysteriously afflicted with blindness and of being converted from infidelity and starting out to preach. The people of Gloucester, which is not far from Philadelphia, across the Delaware, ascertained the truth of these statements by writing to the preacher's home. Middleton visited Bourne and recalled the circumstances of their former acquaintance, all of which Bourne remembered. Uls History. Savings Bank. Prosecutor of the Pleas of Ocean County— Thomas W.
