8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER SO, 1870. C IT Y IITCLIiltiU.lCE. THE ELECTION OFFICERS. Tiie Work el the nnrd of Aldermen Brine Itevl.ed by the Court of Common Flenn Ju- KdlrlKl Inquiries Into the Politico and Fit new of the Orlctnnl Appointment. M At 9 o'clock this morning, Judges Allison and Ludlow wore present In the Court of Common Pleas, according to appointment, for the purpose of revis ing and correcting the action taken by the B arj of Aldermen In appointing officers to conduct the coming election. Advantage of the revision was taken by both sides, and the proceedings being for the most part with the aBont of all parties, they went through very quietly andjwith but little of the feeling and excitement usually accompanying all political matters discussed in court. Mensrs. Harper, Dallas, and Biddle appeared for the Democrats, and Messrs. Mann and line ass for the Republicans. The applications for removals were based upon the petitions of live reputable free holders and voters of the wards, and proof of the disqualification or unwillingness of the objectiona ble party to serve was taken by the court, the Judges not holding the cases down to the strictest, rules of proof, but accepting the cases in a liberal view, and In proper cases, ordering the removals, and then upon the suggestion of a more proper per son, If not objected to by the opposite side, he was appointed In place. The matters had gone ahead thus for a short time, until Mr. Mann came In and objected that the notice to the Repuollean side had not been sufficient to enable them to meet the charges of incompetency or to examine Into lltncss of tlie newly named parties, and thus the Court m'tfit pos sibly be milled Into making appointments a great deal worse than those made by the Aldermen, ha sldes this the petitioners were not herewith proper proofs, and the proceeding was entirely la the dark. Mr. Dallas said he had complied with the require ments of the law as to notice, and the Court agreed with him there; but Judge Allison suggested that the appointment and removals be made to-day nul and merelv provisional ; certificates would not be Issued upon the action of to-day; the Judges would meet at 12 o'clock to hear olfactions and to confirm the pro ceedings of to-day. This met with the approval on all Bides, and so the business went over. The first petition, firr the removal of .Tames S. W11H, at- J dinted Hctum Inspector of the Seventh ilivifinn of ttis irst ward, on the ground that lie was not a resident of the division, and was now in Vermont.

Co., on Chesnut street, has created considerable xaiK among our ciuzeus, tuo uiuuiwuuaim mio roeed to irive the credit to the detectives of our cfy The truth of the matter Is that the servl ees rendered by these gentry could have been perlormed by any other member of our community, had he been m a nosition to have received the information which was furnished them. The recovery was not through any Ingenuity on their part, but was the resalt of the announcement by the firm that they would give a reward of twentv-nve per cent, ou ineir goous. This otter induced one of the parties to the robbery. or some one who knew all about It, and It was in all probability the hackman who drove the thieves and the Blunder to the house of OConner. at Tenth and (ilrard avenue, to Indite an epistle telling who the robbers were and where the stolen property was. After this all was plain sailing, ami It would have been just as easy for the Meisrs. Beason to have gone and obtained the goods as It was for the detec tives to have done that work. Tne oldest detec tives were entirelythrown off their pjard by the perfect manner In which the robbery was designed and executed. They were on the trail r jther par ties, and were surer.

Advices received by a circuitous route from Lynchburg, Salem, and other points in that section this morning repre sent great destruction of property by one of the most disastrous freshets which has occurred for many years. The railroad bridges and toll bridges at Lynchburg, together with many houses, have been swept away, and the gas works and several large manufactories flooded over. The rise in the river has been but slight as yet, and very little rain has fallen, but appre hensions are occasioned by advices from above. All the railroads and telegraphs in that section of the country have sustained great damage, and travel is for the present suspended. Baltimore Prodnee UlarUet. Baltimore, Sept. 80.

REDUCED CAR FARES. New York Paeaenrrr Railway Fares Reduced to Klve Cent. The New York World to day ha the follow ing: Of the many petty additional expenses and annoyances which the late war imposed upon the mass of the people of this city there was none, perhaps, more generally felt than the one cent tax on the city railway fares. Like all other taxes, it of course bore most heavily on the poor the laborer, the mechanic, the clerk. all, in fact, whose wealth did not allow them any more aristocratic mode of conveyance than the street car. Great numbers of these classes have to use the cars frequently to get to and Irom tbelr places or employment, and to many of them the tax, small as it was, was neverthe less burdensome, and the odd cent always in convenient. All sucn wui therefore hail Its abolition with pleasure. un ana alter to-morrow ante-beuum rates will rule, and the handy five cent piece will pay the passenger's way from tbe Astor House to One-hundred and Twenty-fifth steeet. The terms of tbe act of Congress authorizing the imposition of the additional cent expiring to day, the several companies in this city have concluded no longer to exact it. To ascertain the feeling of the companies as to this cutting down of their income the writer yesterday called on ,vir. qulres, rresiaent or tne inira Avenue line, tne roaa wnicn, from its Immense traffic, must necessarily be most affected by this change. J ne lonowirg conoquy was me result: Reporter Mr. Squires, I have called to in quire whether it Is the intention of your com pany to reduce fares to five cents on Saturday. Mr. Squires Yes, sir; we have concluded to do so. The authority given us by Congress for adding the additional cent to our fare having expired, we have of course no alternative but to comedown. let, 11 we were 6o disposed, we think our charter warrants us in demanding fares in specie the current coin of the country at tbe time the charter was granted and the rate fixed. It. But you have determined not to adhere to the strict letter of the law? Mr. 8. We have, for two reasons: first, the premium at present ie eo low that H is not worth while to insist on It; and secondly, because we don't think it pays to quarrel with the public; our policy ha always been, as far as possible, to accommodate the people. R What do you think the effect of the re duction will be on the finances of the company? Mr. 8. We can't stand it, sir. Why, you can tee for yourself. We carry 00,000 a day on our road, which, at one cent apiece, makes $900. What is the effect? R Well, but do you not think that the ad ditional trafflcwhich the reduction will be likely to create will more than make up for the loss ? Mr. 8. Not at all. sir; quite the contrary; the more we carry the more we lose. There is not a passenger carried now that does not absolutely cost 5 cents. Where, then, is the profit to come from? K. That is certainly discouraging. How do you propose to get over the diiliculty ? Mr. S. I know of onlv one way to seek re lief from the Legislature"; and If we can't get it reduce the wages of our employes. Prices of horses, forage, and labor are now so much in excess of those ruling when the five-cent fare was established, that it would ruin us to run at ttat rate. R Hut. sir. at the present rate, as you say, of everything, it would be a diitcult matter to reduce tne wages oi vour empiuyce. r. u T knnw it. bnt I can see no other re source, and that is what it must come to. We emply 1000 men, which at 75c. per day redac tion amounts to 750. Here is all the chance : ltt to curtail expenses, and, as I said before, if we do not get relief from the Legisla ture that s wnai it must cams w atwtuij 11 TEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT RINGS V ef eolid lkn flee .old.

The remains of Far ragut arrived on the Fall river steamer Bristol at an early hour this morning, and were first removed in the tug Catalpa to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where they were received by naval officers in charge. At half-past ten the tug, with the remains on board, accompanied by a detachment of marines and naval officers from the yard, proceeded to the pier at the foot of Canal street, North river, where the procession and escort were in waiting. The remains were landed amid a thunderous salute of guns.

The United States marine band, from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, had the head of the column, and was fol lowed by a regiment of the 21 Division, acting as a guard of honor to the great admiral's re mains. The coffin was covered with a heavy pall, bearing the name of Farragut In large gold letters on either side, and a United States flag above, was carried on the shoul ders of eight sailors who formerly served under Farragut. The Admiral's Secretary and members of his family, as mourners, came next in carriages, and were followed by a company of about thirty sailors In uniform and civilians who formerly served under the Admiral.

Ovrf if Commnn Pita Judge Ludlow, The following questions were submitted to-day to Judge Ludlow and answered: To the Honorable the Judges of the Conrt of Com mon Pleas: The following questions are respect fully submitted for the opinion of the Court : 1. Does the power vested In the canvassers t strike off or draw red lines over names, extend to both days, and the power to add names only to tne 10th duv preceding election? (Sections 31 and 46 Re gistry act of 1869.) See answer Of Court to sixth question, reported In Public Ledger ot October 8dt s. Can ft person claiming to be placed on ran vasoers' list on tenth (or eighth) day before election be required to produce, at the time of making hucH application, a receipt for the payment of a State or county tax within two years of the day appointed for the election ? (Sections 81 and 32 Registry act of 1869.) 8. Can the name of any person, even after notlca to him, be stricken from any transcript in the ab sence of such person, except upon the testimony of at leaRt two reputable citizens, qualified electors of the division (Section 86, Registry act or lSf.9) whose names appea on the said transcript, nnder tae head of "private householders,"' to be given under oath or anlrmatlon, that such person is not a resident of the division, or Is otherwise disqualified by law from voting at said election 1 Answer to first. Last year Judge P. decided; for the Court that the canvassers could strike cfand aild cn both days. Answer to second. Yes, If his name Is not on the Assessors' division transcript. Answer to third. If the name does not appear or tbe Assessors' division transcript '-a line in red let Is to be drawn through the same," but in the ab sence of the person the proof must be made by ta terms of the act according to Its letter. The canvassers have tbe right nnder the thirty sixth lection of the act to revise the extra assess ment, and to strike names therefrom ot person noc residing in the division on ths tenth day b?lore the election.
