Senator Wilson will doubtless have a cordial greeting at Mechanics hall to-morrow night. The sale of tickets for Mrs. Moulton’s concert on Friday evening next, will commence this morning at 9 o’clock, at the music store of Richards, Metcalf Co. Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, formerly of this city, but more recently of Chicago, will give a brief and thrilling description of the late Chicago tire, at Trinity church, corner of Main and Chandler streets, this evening, at 7 o’clock. Mr. Park hurst’s church, parsonage and the residences of over two hundred families connected with his church, were destroyed by the late conflagration. A flag bearing the motto, Washburn and Tucker, was stretched across Main street, from the Spy building to City hall, from the republi can headquarters last evening, a republican crowd cheering the act. It was contemplated to have a band of music on the occasion, but previous engagements made it impossible for any one of the three bands here to appear, and the notice was too short to secure one from any other quarter. Few dramas possess the degree of popularity that is accorded to “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” In spite of the fact that this piece has been pre seated almost countless times, Music hall con tained one of the best audiences of the season, last night, and the performance, especially the rendering of the part of Topsey by Mrs. How ard, was of such a character as to merit the highest commendation. 1 A Hebrew tin-peddier by the name of Joseph Browiski, with his entire stock ol cheap ware in a basket, was assaulted on Suffolk street yes terday afternoon, knocked down, and his basket of tin trumpery taken rudely away by a fellow who further displayed his meanness by tearing up the mercantile license of the dealer in cups and candlesticks. The goods were nearly all re covered in a battered condition-like the owner —but the highwayman has not been found, and the ski of Joseph’s Blow is clouded with gloom. The many concerts with which Gilmore’s band has delighted an audience in Mechanics ihall renders a particularization of what is to come to-night unnecessary. It may be well, however, to again remind the many admirers of Arbuckle in this city of the fact that he will pome with tl'.e band and give us two solos. Mrs. Anna Granger Dow, a soprano’ singer, is still another attraction presented. Read the. programme offered in the concert advertise* Jment for Informa ion in regard to the other at tractions.

It is unneces sary, for the purposes of this communication, to recite in the alternative the remedies proposed for this freat public, inconvenience, or the measures that actually commended themselves to your deliberate judgment. It is not believed that anything has occurred to alter or modify your settled resolution to adopt whatsoever methods may soonest aud most effectually restore to the whole people the absolute and unrestrict ed use and enjoyment of a pleasure ground, which is none the less public property that it has not always been guarded with miserly pro vision from private encroachment or corporate greed. It is most certain that you will not deduce an argument for the interminable occupation of the most conspicuous and eligible portion of the common by the First Parish, in tasteless inno vations upon venerable architecture, or in the scant courtesy which vouchsafed such quecrly- Uhristian treatment of your most generous otter to submit all vexed questions to impartial arbi tration. ere there no other and higher reason ot abstract right, you would not be justified, in the light ol recent events, were you to tolerate, for one unnecessary moment, the existence of an edifice that would he sure to defeat the arrest of a disastrous conflagration by its tenacious retention of the broad open space which would otherwise be presented to the flames. The First Parish lias exhausted t| ie public bounty; it presumes upon the general indiffer ence of toleration; and needs to be taught that the muicenary selfishness of a few "cannot longer lie suffered to curtail the rights nor inter lerc with the enjoyment of the vast majority. Ar the hearing lieforc the legislative commit tee, in the matter of a union passenger station, it was stated in your behalf, by your counsel, that the removal of the railroad tracks would undoubtedly be followed by the school-house and lock-up, and by the purchase of the old niceting-hou.se. <)t the removal of those tracks, however retarded by legal artifice and chicanery, no one can doubt who Ims ever obseivcd the summary manner in which our people are wont to brush away the obstacles in their path of progress. Aud that the expenditure of time, labor, and m<>nc.y so freely contributed during the past year, 111 »y not be more than wasted; and in or der that further steps may tic taken towards the ultimate oomph te icclamation and improvement of the common, this commission most earnestly advises and requests your honorable body to make seasonable application 10 the general court for leave to resume possession of that portion of the common now in the occupancy of I the First Parish, upon such conditions and terms as may be adjudged equitable. Very respectfully, for and in behalf ot the commission, Edward W. Lincoln, Chairman. IN BOARD OF ALDERMEN. In the absence of his honor Mayor Earle, Al derman Barnard was called to the chair. Peti tions from Michael Lacy and Andrew' Martin for the assessment of damages to their estates by the widening, straightening and grading of La fayette street, were referred to the highway committee of the board of aidermen. The following jurymen were drawn to attend the next term of court: Charles H. Ballard, Ed ward \V. Valli, Augustus B. Prouty, George Tower, Lyman Howe, Avery Davis and Amos Twiss. Win. Ross was granted a license to keep a victualing establishment on Austin street; Wil lard Humes a license to keep a stable with more than four horses, and A. IL Greenwood as an auctioneer. On petition of the Boston and Albany railroad corporation, for the appointment of railroad policemen, with powers as defined in chapter 381 ol the acts of 1871, the following named employes of the road were appointed: Calvin Farnsworßi, Geo. Wilder, Sumner P. Hale, Chas. O. Boyden, Chas. A. Clark, Wm. Stevenson and John Mc- Namara. After a long discussion upon the laws regulat ing the erection of wooden buildings within the city, and the frequent violation of the same, tin order passed instructing the city marshal to immediately inform the mayor of every case of violation of the ordinance which shall come under his notice. The mayor will then convene the board of aldermen and an injunction will be issued. Several papers were acted upon in the board of alderman which were not sent to the other branch until after its adjournment. Adjourned for one week. Superior (Criminal) Court.—Devens, J. Monday, Ort. 30.—1 n the ease of Joseph A. Spencer, for breaking and entering the store of Wm. A. Clark in Upton, on the night of Aug. 27th, and larceny therefrom, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Jeremiah Ilorigan of Milford, indicted for keeping a nuisance, was put on trial on a plea in abatement on the ground of a nuisance; ver dict tor the government. Scammcll for defend ant. John Truax of Worcester, for larceny of a hammer, verdict nut guilty, on the ground that the name of the party from whom it was stolen was not properly spelled. Hopkins lor defend ant. Wm. Weatherhead and Seth Hastings of Mendon, appellants from the police court of Milford, were put on trial for fishing in “Mendon Pond,” so called, in violation of the statutes of the commonwealth, on a complaint under section 19 of chapter 884 of the acts of 1869. Before the empanncling of a jury, the defendants made a motion to dismiss said com plaint on the ground of the unconstitutionahty of the act, and other reasons, they claiming the right to fish there as a presumptive one be longing to any citizen of the town. The court overruled the motion. It appeared by the evidence for the government that Leonard J. Wilson, of New York, and John Bliss, of Newton, the complainants, have a lease ol this pond for twenty years from the first day of April last (which was exhibited in court) given them by the board of commissioners on inland fisheries, under the statute named, en titling the lessees to the occupancy of one-tenth part ot the pond in question, which is of twenty acres area, for the purpose of the cultivation of useful fishes, paying therefor into the treasury of the town of Mendon one dollar per year for the first six years and SSO per year during the next thirteen years. A copy of the original title deed to this territory, eight miles square, (Quonchepaug, the original name of Mondon), given by the Indians, in 1662, to Moses Paine and Peter Brackett of Braintree, the first settlers of Mendon, and by them to the selectmen of the town, in 1870, was also shown. This grant ed the right to “fish, fowl, hunt,” &c., and the use of all the “rivers, swamps, meadows, ponds,” &c. The complainants, Wilson and Bliss, proceed ed on getting their case to stock the pond with black bass, for the purposes of propagation. The defendants, Weatherhead and Hastings, ad mitted the fact of fishing, but claimed the priv ilege as a natural right, and also contended that, inasmuch as no part of the pond had been fenced off, k (thc lessees having a lease of only one-tenth,) the statute did not apply to thecase. The judge ruled that it would be a crime if there was fishing in any part of the pond, and a verdict was accoidingly rendered for the gov ernment, the case going up to the supreme couit on questions of law. The disposition of this case will settle the question whether the legislature can take away the right of the people to fish in the great ponds. Staples and Scammen for the defendants. FROM EUROPE. Germany. LABOR MATTERS. Berlin, Oct. 80.—The increasing activity of trades oriranizations is evinced by the large number of strikes which have extended to al most every branch of labor, and have been con ducted on the part of the workingmen with a vigor and spirit hitherto unexampled in this country. While in some cases the workmen have tailed to compel the masters to yield to their demands, they have in a majority of cases succeeded in effecting compromises which virtu ally gave them the victory. It is reported that in consequence of the increase in the number of these strikes, and the unsettled condition of trade interests by reason of their long continu ance, Prince Bismarck contemplates the inau guration of measures for the suppression of all woikingmen’s societies throughout the empire.

Brigham Young is still going southward, and will not return before spring. He travels by night and will probably stop in the southern extremity of Ari zona. MORE UTAH NEWS—MURDERERS ADMITTED TO BAIL. Salt Lake City, Oct. 80.—The court was oc cupied the whole morning in Ihe argument on a motion to admit Daniel 11. Wells, one party arrested Saturday, upon the charge of murder, to bail. Chief Justice McKean said:—“Al though before this motion was argued I was well aware that, both in Great Britain and the United States, prisoners under indictment for murder are rarely if ever admitted to bail, still 1 was willing to be convinced that it would be right in this ease to disregard the almost uni vernal rule. Indeed, 1 was anxious to be con vinced that it would be right to do so. Nay, more, 1 have sought to satisfy myself that h would be right and proper to say, that, ns the defendant, Wells, is mayor of the city and head of the police; and that, as Camp Douglas, where the prisoners, not bailed, arc usually kepi while awaiting trial, is some miles distant from the city hull and mayor’s res idence, it would be practically impossible for the defendant while in that camp to attend to his official duties,andhecould not beheld responsible for the quiet and good order of the city. I will, therefore, admit the prisoner to bail in $50,000, with two sufficient sureties.” MURDERED BY A DRUNKEN POLICEMAN.

He gives warning to all that the first mortgage bondsol’ the road will tie endorsed by the state, aud state bonds given in exchange for them. The secund mortgage I Kinds will not be recog nized by the state until all the valid claims of laborers and contractors and for furnishing hud torial shall have been fully satisfied, etc. Our New York Dispatches. The Cloud of Rvideiicr of Guilt I>nrkcr around Tweed The PoMitiou of the other Rogutt All Morin of IteniM, ete. New York,Ort. 30.—1 t is stated that Sweeney bought a building on 34th street, leasing the up per part us armories, having the lease ante-dated one year, receiving 884,000 therefor. The armories have never been occupied. Hank Smith, a leading republican, draws the money, so that Sweeney’s mime shall not appear. Henry B. Vann and Frederick J. Shaw this morning sued Andrew J. Garvey, their object being to restrain him from transferring his property. They allege that they have perform ed work for him during the last year, and that the transfer of bis property is made, in part at least, with the intention of defrauding them. This is only one of numberless suits of the same character which will he instituted against mem bers of the ring. It is understood that the com mittee of seventy is at the back of them. The grand jury this morning indicted Haggerty and Bauch the \oucber thieves for grand larceny and burglary. There are three counts to each indictment—lhe first count specifies the th. ft of three certain vouchers from the city of New Y’ork; the second ijie theft of the same from the county of New York, and the third alleges that the stolen vouchers were the personal property of Richard B. Connolly. Jn>t as the recorder was about to dismiss the grand jury General F. S. Barlow entered and stated that he had some important information to impart with regard to certain of the ring. He requested that the in quest lie kept in session to-day and to-morrow. This request was granted. Tweed has concluded to pay $42,000 to Jack son S. Schultz as assignee for Keyser, lor work and material furnished to Tweed’s house. Tweed’s original defense was that Keyser agreed to do this work in consideration of receiving certain contracts. The action of Tweed will stop one suit against him. O’Conor has sent a long letter to the com mittee, declining the nomination for the assem bly, in which he reviews the repeating system at elections, as well as terrorism exercised over poor men at the polls by political hirelings, lie considers that lie can best serve the public in terests in bis present position. His whole time and utmost powers will be needed in the pro ceedings against the robbers, who, not content with their already realized trains, are now thun dering at the gates of the treasury, and are de termined to continue their iniquitous career through a fraudulent canvass and corrupt legis lation. His position, therefore, demands ex emption even from the color of personal interest, and his services will always be at the command of an honest legislature. In the complaint made out and filed at Albany by the attorney general, it was charged that O’Gorman, the corporation counsel, had brought six actions in the name of the city against Tweed, Connolly, and others, in bad faith and for the real purpose of shielding them from prosecution. In answer to this charge, O’Gorman has ad dressed a letter to Ihe attorney general, in which he takes exception to the allegation in the com plaint on behalf of the state against Tweed. He says the suits were begun in good faith,and will be, prosecuted with energy. He encloses the opinion of George Ticknor Curtis, that it is doubttul whether the action brought by the state will lie, and that it is his duty as corporation counsel to bring a suit on behalf of the city. O’Gorman will call to his aid some of the best legal talent in the citv for prosecuting his suits against the municipal robbers. He has no thomrhts of interfering with the suits brought by O’Conor. The phases are as follows: The .suits brought by the attorney general are ior the recovery of money fraudulently taken from ihe city, from persons who received it, while the corporation counsel sues those through whose neglect of duty or breach of trust it was so paid out. The two classes may in some instances in clude identical persons, but the causes of action are distinct. These actions need not clash with each other, and will be passed to a successful issue. It has been ascertained that Ingersoll left town on Friday. His relatives expect him back Wednesday, apd Tweed and his friends state that he will be sure to be back this week. It is rumored that Tweed has resigned as candidate for the state senate and officer of the public works. It is also reported that Morgan Jones will be his successor in the nomination for senator. At the meeting of the commissioners of the sinking fund, a communication was read from Courtland Palmer, withdrawing the bill for $152,000 for appraising city property, asking merely the payment of the men who had done the work, S6OOO. Recorder Hackett said he would have been willing to do the whole work for SSOOO. The city chamberlain moved to pav each of the appraisers, three in number, $15,000, and S6OOO for incidental expenses. The matter was then referred to the controller. Later Contrary to the statement published in several evening papers, it has been ascertain ed that there is no truth in the report of the res ignation of Twe>l. Charles O’Conor has written a letter to S. J. Tilden, contraverting the opinion of George Ticknor Curtis with regard to the right of the attorney general to bring action against the plan derers of the treasury. The Times furnishes the annexed statement of the points of the letter of O’Conor: He says the question now before the public is, whether these men are guilty, and, if so, whether they shall be permitted to go into the legislature anil continue their career of fraud and plunder. Every county, city, town and village is but a civil division of the state, and merely a part of one whole. Aside from mere forms of ad ministration and proceedings, all money of every such civil division is but part of the. com mon treasure of the state. Though raised by local contributions or taxation, and intended for some local use, it is always raised by author ity of the supreme power; it actually belongs to the supreme power, and it is applicable as the supreme direct. Whether the $6,300,000 raised on bonds to supply the Ingersoll, Garvey, Woodward and Tweed swindle can be so recovered, or must be sued for in the name of the county of New York or its supervisors, is just one of these petty little practical points that belong much more to the attorney’s school of manipulation than to the great field of legal science. Perhaps all of us have united in an error on this little te. hni eal point; but we have had adequate nieans and opportunities of understanding it. We arc all firmly convinced that it will present no obstacle to success in the people’s action. John Rourke died last night at the hospital from a beating by the nineteenth ward roughs a few days since.
