Mayor Colvin Desirous of Kun- ning the Machine. Possibility of the Removal of Commis- sioner Thompson. Abolition of the Polico Board---Jucge Dickoy’s. Status. Everything around the City-Hall ig in an un- paralieled turmoil. Mayor Colvin “sppoara to have become s political leader, to whom every Political trickster looks up with awe and rov- erence antil sppoihted t¢ somo lncrative posi- tion. Within the past week he bas directed two communications to the Board of Public Works insisting on the appointment of two of his fa- vorites to public offices andthe removal of & closs elation of Mr. Prindiville, In one of these instances only did the Board comply, and then they appointed Hagh Reod to the position of Sidewalk-Inspector. The Mayor insigted on bis appointment as Street Foreman, and ihe removal of 8 man named Pisrce was contemplated for the sake of making = vacancy. Finally tho mattor was eottled temporarily by the Bosrd makiug Reed a Sidewalk-Inspector. THY NEXT MOVE was the peremptory request that Robert Kenney, the Street Foreman of the North Divisiou, be removed, and ex-Ald. Taomaa Cannon be ap- pouted to his place. With this request the Board became exasperated and gave a negative answer. Mr. Keoney is srelative of Mr. Prindiville, and the Board pre- ferred him to man whom thoy kmew nothing about, Not that they Joved Tom Cannon less, but that they loved Bob Kenney moro. At first they felt like resigning, ehould the Mayor insiat on the change, but on farther consideration they determined to stay oti the Inst head bad been guillotined, and stick up for the rights of the people until that time arrived. Nothing has since been heard from tha Meyor regardihg his request, and it was thought until yesterday that he bad dropped the subject. The ax is now being sharpened for ‘THE REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER THOMPSON, and, as sstonnding 23 the news may be, it will be followed with other removals equally a3- tounding. Tho fact ia assured to ba a positive one by four different Aldermen, who have not conversed with each other about’ it, and are in- aide the ring aad know all about what ia goiag on, Commissioner Thompson is well known to bo one of the most accomplished men in office. His experience is varied, and no. more compe- tent man could be found in the city. His hor- esty and uprighincss are proverbial, and, withal, ho is of that even temperament so desirable in men who hold public office, Why be has been singled out ig mystery, unless it be for the reason that bo is one of the most practical and unostentations membors of the Board. Mr. Wahl is too closely connected with the wealth and business element of tha South Division to be attacked in any such man- net, and Mr. Prindiville is too powerfal ; consé= quently Mr. Thompson is singled out. This ia aimed directly at the Board of Pablic Works, « Board which ia claimed to be abolished by the cbarter of 1872, but there appears to bo no incli- pation to abolish it ar one fall sweep as hasbeen tried nith the Board of Police. By re- moving Mr. Thompsda it ia expected that tbe remaining membera of the Bosrd will voluntarily resign, theréby making the roadway clear for the desperate game this! is tosucceed. Placasof old reiiable servants of the public ubder the Board of Public Works will then be turned over to a mob and rabble of achéming politicians to whom the Mayor hag either given or vromised office, and such men as Reed will récoive the profersace. Jf Mayor Col- vin or any ono elso mupponl that undor these circumatonces either Comimiasioner Wabi or Prindiville would resign, they ara liable to bé most egregiously mistaken, for, since thé row. with Ald. Bailey, . INFLUENTIAL CITIZENS OF THE SOUTH DIVISION bave earnestly roquested Mr. Web! not to make any rash resignation, but stick by tle pedpld in the present eruption. Whon such sterling citi- zens ad Marshall Fisid, L. Z. Leiter, and otbers of similar atability, makesuch a request it means sométhing. But the Board of Public Works is not the duly Dopartment in which the sction of the Mayor and Common Council is raising an ex- citenient. As the sequel fs already beginning to abow, notwithstanding the recount opinion of Judge Dickey ageinst the legality of apolishing the Police ‘Board, it is the intorition of tle May~ or and Aldertiicn to DISODEY IT IN EVERY PARTICULAR, . and to abide by Murray F. Tufey m all that is done. Judge Dickey first delivered a ehort and effective opinion, but, as it was adverse to the wishes of the Mayor, it was destroyed, and he was intructed to prepare aftller opinion and con- sult with Mesers, C-H.Morse, ‘Tuley, Storrs, Root, and Goudy previous to propariug it. The Judge’s decision ws directly in opposition to those of tho other lawyers, and the Mayor and Aldermen rebelled. To-day Judge Dickey is cendired in every quarter, and, if present circumstances are prolonged, he will be forced'to resign his posi- tion. Even bis removal by the Mayor would pe favorably conaidered by the Council. The City Attorney ia also & béte noir, 8 he is violently opposed to every miessuro Tl luck seems to follow thoir disobedience, for, had they followed” Jamieaon’s advice, Judgé ” Willioma would never have had the opportunity to fine them $100 each for contempt of court. Conip- troller Hayes is to be punished for lis catipathy to tho North avenue lot steal, and opposition to other well laid schemes, by haviog Ine salary re- duced. If ha can be frozan out of office in this maoner, as it is believed ho can be, none of the Aldermen will cry about it. A ‘Of course the “Board of Policé and Fire até to bé abolishod,—that ia, iy THEY CAN Br, Nothing is alleged agaiust them, except that they are making the Police and Fire Departments a mere political machine, which is not strictly cortect. ‘hey are not acused of allowing the gamblers to flourish, for that wonld criminate the Fo! Superintendon’, nor are they accused of manipulating contracts, for they could port to many finger-marks of others. Nevertholesa, they must go out of office; Jacob Rehm must be awarded with the position of City Marshal, and Ald. Hildreth must be made Chief Fire Marshal, with Marshal Benner as First Assistant. If any one doubts this, iet him witness the daily confabs betwaen the Mayor and the Police Superintendent, aud witness the numerous visita of ceriain officiats to the Superiatendent’s office. In. getting rid of Commissioners Reno and Klokke, the Council anticipate but ttle trouble; 8 note from the Mayor dows thé job. HOW TO RID THEMSELVES OF SHELIDAY is the cocosnut which they are now hammering to crack. He is the only member of the Board who was elected, and therefore ia the only ond who is not depeudort on the Mayor. Notwith- standing the abyss which yauns ¢ Cammia- signers okko and Reno, they ap,arently dare thé Mayor to thtow them overboard, ivell know- ing that he dare not do that and Icave Sheridan on the rock alone. Consdéquently, the three Commissioners are in open snti present course of the Adminial nearly all ite officers. Fire Commissioner Moore stands with the Board in ali their trials. The removal of Marahal Benner ia not anticipated until after the Police Board qasstion 1s definitely settled. i = Here then aré threo dapartmonts outside the Board of Health which Mayor Colvin proposes to abolish as soon as ho géte fully ready. This eraption will involve the dismissal of three Com- miusionere of the Doard of Public Works, five Commissioners of the Board of Health, three Commiasionera of Police, and very probably a Comptrolicor and Corporation Counsel. When the multitudes of underlings in all these depart- tents is considered, one may gain some approx- imate idea of the desperate game wi Take Rehm and Mayor Colvin are playing. Should they win, they will control about 1,000 men io the Police and Fire Departments, 1,500 in the Board of Public Worl Oi and foul eaditional in other dn siete Thies thou: sand votes, With their influence political: ‘what the stakes approximate. Pel daa The Aldermen and Mayor calculate on having an sbundance of time in effecting all these changes, for they maintain they will hold over until 1876 without an election, and that the May- or will hold over until 1877, In all the legal complications that arise hereafter the outsida lawyers will be consulted in preference to Judge Dickey, gue they = constantly betta the em- oy 0: city. ‘Tax-payers foot the bill, s {ho hoedlass olisials pls Gate axons” Secretary Stanton snd Gen.
