| STATE AND CITY POLITICS. _| The Republican State Convention and tinge What Came of It. 4 Me rw so pe THE GREAT BOLT AT SYRACUSE. Conkling To Be Defeated at All Mazards in . the Senatorial Contest. a “ THE ROCHESTER CONVENTION. | Two Delegations: the Tammany and the New Reform Party—Ihe Pro- gramme of the Reformers. —— ‘The long and painfully anticlpated Republican } Convention has come and passed away, and like a tempest, which leaves the marks of lis devastation behind it, so is the result of that stormy gathering of the republican factions to be seen in a party more utterly demoratized aud disrupted than if an enemy had combated it, and not its own brethren, The leaders of the party who have gainea at Syracuse a barren victory have set their political life apon @ cast, and will nave, in the days of fresh conflict to come, 4 to “stand the hazard of the die.” They have left open no road to compromise, and their temporarily Nn defeated but powerful opponents have rather gained; Anteus-like, aaditional and renewed strength from the blows they received in the late encounter than any actual damage. In fact, the ‘Words truce or compromise or general amnesty and reconciliation are tabooed in the political vocabu- lary of tne Fentonites, and apy overtures that may be comtemplated or desired must come from the present victors, with such conditions precedent that it would be Ade to expect, just yet, such a surrender of the booty and patronage secured at Syracuse, The late con- ! test was waged with all the strategy, bribery, ‘Wheedling and menace which so unexpectedly gave the Victory to the very same leaders at the previous State Convention at Saratoga. But after that there ‘was still a long look-out ahead to the great campaign of 1872, and the wounds then inflicted would have time to heal, and Wiser counsels might prevail to bind the republican brethren in amity and unite them in solid phalanx against the common foe tn the Presi- dential fight. No hope of that now, if the vows of vengeance of the Fenton-Greeleyelts are to stand good on the register, Twice sold, the leaders have thrown away the scabbard, and if Murphy and Conkhng fall their chief now in their manipulation of the administration party in the State it wili go hard with them and him in the supreme struggle that is at hand. THE BOLT AT SYRACUSE ‘will have the effect of completely severing the repub- lican party in twain in tnis State, the time between this and the fall of 1872 to be usea in strengthenirg elther party, according to the skill and influence of the respective leaders. The defeat of the Fentonites im the Convention is to be attributed to their own openly expressed desire for harmony, and the covert designs of the Murphyites by which harmony ‘was to be rendered impossible—one pariy acting in good faith, the other ready to spring a mine at any moment so ag to compel their opponents to evacuate the position held by them. And very effectually they exploded the mine at the right time. The two city delegations claimed admission to the Con- vention, which was agreed to, with the one proviso, that the Fenton-Greeley delegation should endorse the action of the State Committee, ‘whieh had previously stigmatized that delegation as ‘Tammany republican, requiring confession ond ab- solution to qualify them to seats beside their im- maculate brethren of the Marphy-Custom House stripe, This was the sine qua non of their admission, and while Fenton and his leaders and followers were anxious to con- form to all other political ritualistic impositions they were not prepared to commit sacrificial » hari-kart within the temple and in the presence of the, whoie congregation. The resolution that both Gelegations he admitved to an equal vote on the , Noor, and that thereafter tha State Committee ‘ should be clothed with all powers necessary to a re- organization and harmonizing of the two tactions, seamed to give generat satisfaction until Conkling 4 factiously opposed it, declared the compromise resolution must be rejected, and, having fired up the dying embers of opposition among his ad- herents, succeeded in having it rejected. Tnis was ‘ THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK. Md The Fentonites had no alternative but to accept political degradation or to retire from the Conven- 4 tion. They chose the latter. Oenkling would share no honors with his rival, Fenton, He acted a very _ Hotapur in his exclustveness of dividing the honors - Or patronage of the administration. He should ell ave all ornone, and he won. Fenton, on the other P re hand, went into the combat empty handed If not sin- “ae gle handed. He knew from his dear-bought experi- ence at Saratoga that he had a wily and unscrupulous foe toencounter, He summoned his faithful fol.ow- ers to meet him in council at the Vanderbilt House, fndto map out the field whereon the fight of the ‘wuceceding day was to take place. In parung he adaressed them, i should my lard bearer fall, as fal! full well he may; never saw mise yet, of such a bicody fray. e The chief standard bearer, followers and ali fed before the cnarge of the Custom House leaguers and Office-holders, and Syracuse was but a_repeti- ton of the day ac Satatoga. But Fenton has still fight jefe im bim, and his chances for @ signal retrieval of his fortunes and the utter discomfiture of his present successful rival seem . brighter than ever, panne the Alciviades ot the Syracuse fight, cared not lor Murphy, cared not ' for the administration or for party unless these sup- served HIS PRT SCHEME; \ that’ was, to get contro! of the “ees of the Sate, so as to be abie to Benda sulil delega‘ion w the National Convention tn Chicago in 1872 In favor ‘of the renomination of General Grant to the Presi- dency and of the nomination of Roscve Conkling as Vice President, The latier, he thought, coald only be accomplished by his being recognized as the most influential leader of the repubican party im the state. But Vaulting ambition doth oft o'erleap itself, and it is not unlikely tnat Roscoe will fall on “t’other side" in this als vauiting effort. He did net autici- ate #0 serious a bolt in the Convention. He got osted on fis OWN petard, and on the withdrawal of the county delegations in the wake of the Fenton- Greeleyites he saw the first vanishing of the anuci- 4 pated realization of his political schemings. AFTER THE BOLT it was found necessary to rush the proceedings N through lest worse remained behind. The state Uucket Was nominated; bub strange to say, non the nominees were present Lo accept or decline. . ts admutted that the ticket is @ very weak one, the piatiorm exceedingly shaky, THE PENTON-GREELEY SORENRADS their a@uti-Custoin House federalists the interior are yet undecided as to which of two lines of action to take under the circumstances, whether to trame an in- dependent State ticket and to sabmit it to the good fense of the republican electors, or to accept the Conkling-Marphy tcket and ty traMe anu bargain on it everywhere throughout the State. The deino- erata Will be anXivus to secure their State ucket, The Fentouites don’t care a continental for it, and will only be too glad to vote the y @emocratic ticket in return for deinocratic . Votes for Fenton men for Senators. Here lies the danger overivoked by Coukling, and which ren- ters his return to the senate hopeless were it not already a foregone conclusion in the scheming sconce Of his friend, Hone-t Tom Murpny, that the succession should ve given to Edwin D. Morgan, 80 Jar as he could assist to that end. = ‘The buiters are now A POWER IN THE STATE, well commanded, uiticered and disciplined, and if the bo.t inagurated here should spread, as 18 @X- pled, W Pennsylvania, Missouri and oiner Western. tates, it may lead to important resulis in the colM- ing dential campuign. i THB DEMOCRATIC SIDR. The republicans have had their field day prac- tice at Syracuse. The democrats assemble for lke practice at Rochester on the 4th instant, If the en- Nusiasm which pervaded the immense gathering that assembied at toe Tammany Wigwain on Mon- tay MIRNU last, on the vccasion of the meeting of the Democratic General Committee is to be taken as a criterion of popular feeling, it must be said that It and and in Tammany 1s as honoret and trusted by the rank and file as im its paimiest days. Tie leaders were ali on hand, and the high priest—Big $1x, Boss Tweed—oriiciated as usual, There was but one sentiinent pervading the assemblage—that was of uniaitering trust in and devotion to the time- honored principies of Old Fammany aud its emefs 28 @t proseat constituted, The pouical eauiny¢tial NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1871.—-TRIPLE SHEET. storms whieh jot spams tele time may be expected to egainst the am seemed to have no ter- rors for chiefs or ir adherents, Tne plan of the campaign was as calmly decided on as if the democracy of the entire city and State were one and ail for the policy and pro- gramme of the slate makers, as of old. e campaign will be opened at Rochester Ben j A solid delegation to repre- sent the democracy of the city.

The Tammany leaders will most likely renominate the present State ticket, with the exception oi Homer A. Nelson, wito voluntarily rp- tres from the office of Secretary of State. His suc- cessor will most likely be the present able Deputy Secretary, Deidricn Hillers, Jr, This will pe the State ticket should the Tammany delegation get admission and hold its own in the Convention. Even should the reformers be admitted, to the ex- clusion of the Tainmanyites, the ticket would stand all the same, as there will be no desire to inter- fere with the chosen candidates of the rural delegations who make up the ticket, Notwithstanding the formidable preparations that the reformers are making to test ‘tammany’3s strength in the Convention, and the flattering unction, so lavishly applied, that the same spirit which they parade as animating themselves must stir up the hearts or itch the palms of the rurals, £0 as to induce them to make common cause with them, tbe chiefs of the Wigwam are smoking the pipe of peace. The “blast of war Diows in their ears,” but they are deaf to it, or wey let it pass by ike the idle wind which they regard not, or they whistle taeir reformers down the political wind to play at fortune or to “raise \he wind’ in any other way than by trying to intimidate them into dividing the spoils of the city government with them. THE REFORM PARTY are, however, in earnest, and, having raised the standard of revolution, have attracted thereto all the old leaders of all the eid factions who were not worth purchasing up and who were not abie to keep the rag-tag and bobtail of these factions to- gether. Some of the later irreconcilabies, abier if Not older politicians, of course, swell the ranks of the new party, at whose head appears citizens of known Worth and integrity tn the community. THE REFORM DELBGATION is headed by the name of that eminent citizen Charles O’Conor, who, if bis health permits, will go to Kochester, Should ne be unfortunately unabie to go he will state his views in an address to the Con- vention, and delegate ms powers to his alterzate, Roswell D, Hatch. The watchword ol the party ‘Will be no surrender and NO AFFILIATION WITH TAMMANY. They will accept no compromise and no alvided honors, They must be admitted as the New York Simon Pure delegation to the Convention, to the positive exciusion of the Tammany delegation, or they will turn their back on the Convention, snake the dust of Rochester off their feet and cry anathema! anathema! On their return to the city they will hold a convention of their own for the nomination of State senators, Assemblymen, Judges, Kegister, Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen—in fact, make out @ full slate, if they can only induce the Mayor and the other heads of de partments in the city gov- ernment to resign in time. They promise them- paves § good time of it, and no doubt they will ave THE TAMMANY SLATE mut stand as has been heretolore indicated in these columns. In the Fourtn Senatorial District Senator Tweed will receive the renominatton of Tammany. The reform party, when they get their heads together, may attempt to “ puta head” upon the “ Boss,” but they haven't got stretch of arm enough for that. The combined Custom House influence, with the Votes of all the ‘‘1n8” to support the “ outs” of tne reformers, will be unavailing to oust the present in- cumbent, and his re-election lor another Senatorial term to aid in the defeat of the administration can- didate for Senator of the Umited States rom New York 18 certain, In the Sixth district the able young Senator— Creamer—retires from the field. He has been so long honored with the favor and support of his con- stituents, mostly Germans, that ne has deemed it but an act of courtesy to deciine a renomination, preterring that one of their own nationality shouid take a turn at representing the district in the state Senate. Few young men succeed in leaving veliind them a legislative record so creditabie to individual talent and of important services to his district than that which marks the legislative career of Senator Creamer. There are several candidates m the field, and notwithstanding th nt incumbent's reason for withdrawing, ome Who are not Germans Tneir chances under the circumstances must be very small irdeed. James Lyons, the nominee of County Clerk Loew, is one and Justice Scott an- other. The German candidates are Henry Wolt- mand, Martin Nachtmaun, Magnus Gross and Dr. Merkle. The latter is @ very fluent speaker, of great influence with his countrymen and of st and riences, which would fit him for we ‘W. Sauer, the strongest man, al would tne German anne Geclines to run. =i nation, In the Fifth district the Thunderpoit, Senator Michael Norton, will get the Tammany nomination, endorsed by the majority of his constituents, whom he has so ably and consclentiously represented for the past two terms, The reformers will try a littie game to oust him. That shining Itght of the ‘new departure” parry, Jusuce Ledwith, will try con- clusions with Norton, supported by the Custom House facuon, in case the veteran Havemeyer, of the Counci! of Seventy, declines to accept a reform nomination and run. The Senator 1s in the hands or his Irtends, and they are determined to send him un the river for two years more. in the Seventh district » terripie effort will be made by reformers, a3 weil as by those who are past ail reformation, to defeat the present incumbent, Senator Bradley. The ’Brienites are vaaner rais- ing all over the district, but tne O’Brien election stock does not seem to rise in equal proportion thereto or with the clamor and din of his sup- porters, On the otner hand, Senator Bradley is re- ceiving every day fresh ussurances of success, and he may be safely booked a3 the thrice-returneu rep- resentative of the conservative Seventh district. In the Exghth district all the threatening elements Of opposition to the re-election of Senator Genet seem to have taken to themselves wings. Speaker Hitchman attempted a demonsuration, but it fell still-born, and Hitciman will resume his place—not as Speaker, however, but as member of the Lower Honse, Genet is a8 popular and invincible in the Eighth district as the Boss 18 in his stronghold, tue Fourth, and this 18 assurance enough, added to the eneral enthusiasm Which his candidature has elic- ited throughout the whole district, that ne will re sume tnis winier his Senatorial duties in the State Legislature. THE REGISTERSHIP, The veteran ofice-holder, the Big Judge, must bow to the inevitabie, ‘The writing on the Wail 18 deciphered, and on the mterpretation thereof, as given by @ young and prominent politician in we chy—one holding a high place in the city govern- ment—the Big Judge is doomed to the fate of Nebuchadnezzar. ‘The powers that be, ta horse phrase, or according to the nterpretation of the aforesaid writing on the wail, will “strike his shoes off ana send him to grass.’? ‘The coming Register 13 Justice BE, J. Shandiey. There are outside candi- dates, but they have no chance, and it will bea Waik-over for the Justice, uniess, indeed, the re- formers induce some one to enter upon the forlorn hope of acontest with Lim. THE JUDICIARY, For the vacancy im the Supreme Court District Attorney Garvin and Recorder Hackett are prowi- nently spoken of. it may be that neither of tnese gentlemen, for reasons all powerful with themselves, may decline the honor, in which case, as the phrase is, there 1s “a dark man” bebind. Tammany will no doubt, however, put forwar.! a candidate of stich professional character and high esteem in the com munity as will make him acceptable not only to the profession, but to the whole body of tne citizens, For the Superior Court vacancies the present in- cumbents, Judges Spencer and Jones, will be re- nominated, and, no doubt, re-elgcted. For the vacancy 1m the Court of Common Pieas the present able and popular incumbent, Judge Daly—or, as his friends jocosely dub nim, Chief Justice Delay—will be renominated and trum- phanuy returned. dn the vacaucy In the Marine Court Judge Alker, the present incumbent, will have no opposition. Judge Alker is so well Kuown and esteemed on and off the bench for the soundness of his opinions and the fairness and strict impartiality with wich he discharges all lis judicial dudes that opposition to his re-election by the people would be entirey utile, THE ASSEMBLY SLATE.

The Campaign in Hoboken. ‘The democratic election of aelegates to the Assem- biy Convention will take place in Hoboken to-mor- row. Three candidates are now !n the tield—alder- man Curran, John O'Neill and 8, Edmunson, The latter two are at present in comfortable business positions, but are ready to sacrifice all to the good of the community. Curran is a native of Hoboken, and, as he has grown up among the oldest citizens and has long been the boss of his ward, it ts generally believed that be nas the inside track. Tue contest, however, will be a very lively one, many of the issues at stake being very local and personal. ‘fhe republicans have not ven- tured to put any one in the field, inasmuch as the democrats can carry the district by puttung forward even @ tolerably good man. Mr. Join McWhorter, one of the Police Commissioners, has repeatedly been solicited by the democrats to become a candi- daie, but ne positively declines to seek any political fice. No one could be a greater help to the ticket than he. Hoboken is going to piay iis oid trick re- arding the Shrievaity.

Interview at the Department of Parks on the Fides of Commissioner Fields—A True: Narrative of the “ Riot” Centroversy—‘low It Originated=Why Ficlds Has Gone Back on His Friends—New Political Movements For dowed. The peacefui and pleasant routine duties of the Department of Parks tv/ving been disturbed during the last two or three days by two of the members of the Commission dropping into newspaper warfare, a reporter of the HERALD waited upon Judge Hilton yesterday to ascertain his standing in the epistola- tory quarrel. It will be seen by the interview that ensued and the inferences that may be drawn there- from that below the surface of the charges and counter charges of the respective Commissioners there are political movements of no snail signifi- cance. ‘The HERALD reporter found the Judge in his office, one of the elegant suites of rooms devoted to the Department of Parks, and which office 1s situated on Broadway, near to the Department of Public Works. He found the Judge wearing his charac- teristic expression of geniality and quite disposed to say all that he was justified 1 saying in relauon to this topic of local talk, “Well, Judge,” said the Reporter, ‘I have called to ask you now this matter stands between you and your feilow vommissioner, Fields, {Us rather Mixed as it stands, 18 it now?” have nothing more to say about this matter than What has already been said by me. My card ‘was published in the papers. Mr. Fields has now changed the base of his tactics, but I have some- tuing better to do than to follow that gentleman through his strange wanderings.’’ “Yes, I see there is nothing sald In Mr. Field's let- ter about te denunciations at mr, Sweeny’s house."? “Oh, no! the circumstance® as they actually oc- curred can be easily and simply told, The eui- tor of the Star was here, with other newspaper men, to receive some documents in relation to the Park. Howard and { had some talk as to the effect of the injunction, a very short talk, and I read to him a draft of a notice I jutended to issue should it become necessary to no- tify the laborers of the inability of the department to continue their employment. (Judge Hilton read this draft, which was a cicarly-worded ofmcial docu- ment, in all the coldness of legal phraseology.) How- ft, but aiterwards sent me a note askmg me for ac py of this draft or the draft itself, that he embody Itin an ‘interview’ with me. 1 told him that as the necessity for the Issuing of this or- der lad not arrivea 1 could not allow it to be used.” “Then al) Uuis talk, Judge, about you ‘giving How- ard ideas’ an editorial is partof the fiction of Mr. Fields : “Oh, yes; [think it not anlikely that the inspira- tion came upon Mr. Fields at the Astor House, and nappy thought arose there, and he amused some ‘spaper men, or, probably, Mr. England himself, is tte fiction—the producto: an excited brain. “Then, L suppose, Judge, after atsposing of How- ard as you have said, you did not concern your- self further about the newspapers ?? Yo; wen the newspaper men left my ofce— I say it wiih all respect-—1 thought no more avout them until the following morning. The only paper I take at the house is the HERALD, and as | was riding 11 my coupe On my way tu Mr. Sweeny's I urchased the Times, the Standard and the Siar, giancea over the Times, and by that time | found myself at Mr. Sweeny’s door, On entering the livrary | found Mr. Fields and Mr. Sweeny. neve was something sald about the Siar, which Mr. Sweeny had been reading, but it wasoniy for a moment or two. We then proceeded to the basi- ness of the parks, which occupied us entirely until Mr. Fields and J leit, On the sidewalk Mr, Fieids asked me to drive him down town, but I told him =I was going back to my house, and not down town. He, how- ever, renewed nis request, and asked me to drive him as tar asf went. I consented, but U'll never do it again, and we drove away. 1 took the star In my hand, looked at it and told Lim what took place at the Office, yust as I have told it to you, There was notiing said or implied to justify Mr, Fields in put- ting the construction upon our conversation that he has given to the public tais morning.” “What can ve Mr. Fields’ object, Judge, in put- ting bimseit in so offensive a position towards gen+ tlemen on the same commission as himself and with Whom he is snpposed to act with perfect harmony !” “Well, | cannot say; bat probably if I state a few facts you can jorm your own conclusion. One of the inflexitie rales of this department Is not to alloW politics to enter into competition with a man’s Qualification for employment Again and aguin we tell men Who Seek employment that all we ask ts that ihey are qualified todo our work, They have to sauiefy the heads of departments that they are so yualified, aud Ut they fui! that requirement that is all we ask. I have reason to believe that this 48 not quite agreeable to one gentleman at least in the Convention. That pentane is a candidate in the Twelfth ward, and as Vice President, and virtually President, I have received an intimation that it would be aesirabie to place certain names on the pay roll, I dou't see that I don't do it, I ddn’t intend todo it. 1 think itis not unlikely that this action 1s not quite agreeable, and therefore this ‘bolting’ on is associate gana and this endeavor t9 ring oasam upee Hes” wagay Font this action, Judge, inierfere with the business of the department? It is needful for you to haveaquorum. Mr. fields’ absence will prevent thal, will 1t not?” “No, Deputy Comptroller Green will take his place at the Board as Commissioner.” I believe, Judge?” “Yes, an old iriend; that’s good,” said the Judge, smulingly. “It would be quite as well if a member of the Park Commission was not ranming this year for office, would It not, Judge” “Taking everything into consideration, perhaps it would, and probably Mr. Fields has recently made some discoveries im that direction which may have retrerp igs hun todo a good deal of what he has done.’ “There are politics as well as temper, or intemper- nce in this epistolary war then, Judge ?’’ “Yes, there are political movements that are very likely to excite Mr, Fields’ temper, and have pro- bably had the effect of causing him to forget him- sell, and also to forget his {riends,’? “Thank you, Judge, for this interview; I think I can now see light dark place’? THE COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY, Several members of this committee were inform- ally inconsultation yesterday, but nothing detinite was accomplished. The affidavit of Mr. Have- meyer, upon which Judge Barnard has issued sum- monses for Ingersoll, Garvey, Miller, Wilbor and others, has not been in any true sense a movement of the committee, though some of its members have approved thereof, The public clamors for some- thing practicat to be done lea to it, but some of the accused parties cannot be found. It is now posi- tively asserted that Andrew J. Garvey has left the city and probably the country, and it 1s stated on good authority that others have transferred their property and withdrawn their bank accounts and contemplate a change of air and scenery also. In view of the complications arising and lisely to arise on this account a mecting of counsel for Mr. R. B. Connolly and for the comuittee was held yes- terday in Mr. S. G. Courtpey’s law office to consult as to the best method of procedure, ‘Ihe commit- tee show no disposition, nor nave they any destre, toshield Comptroller Connolly more than any other of the accused, and he will probably be one of the first of the prominent officials who will be crought tothe bar. Though the committee design to bring actions, both civil and criminal, against the city oMcials and their immediate outside abetiors, there 1s a deep feeling of distrust in the minds of many of them whether they will be able vo accomplish anything worthy of the time, labor and mone; expeaded im it. It 1s sald that Mr. Woodward, whose extensive improvements on his island in the Sound were so elaborately described a short time ago, 1s one of those “wanted” by the commitiee, ‘There was also a consultation held yesterday be- tween certain members of the committee and mem- bers of the new reform democracy in regard to the proper action to be taken to keep Tammany and its representatives vut of the Rochester Convention. It 1s understood that the delegates from the old Wig- Wam Will meet with strong opposition there. The committee feel that they are espectally blocked in any action which they may contemplate ag@inst the Mayor, and when the Charter election comes off they intend to run Aldermanic candidates, through whom, if elected, they none for the impeachment ef the Mayor. The committee will, therefore, move very slowly ana cautiouely until the time when they are sure to achieve success. Circulars were issued yesterday calling the committee together in their new hall, curner of Broadway aud Twenty-second street, to-morrow evenin; MORE MONSTROUS AMOUNTS.

About eight o’clock last evening sume tive or six hundred men who have been employed on the Boulevard assembied at Fifty-ninth street and Aighth avenue, Owing (as they say) to the inter- ference of Captain Mills, of the Central Park Police, they adjourned to Rupert’s Hall, in Fifty-third street. The Chairman, J. Rielly, of the Twenty- second ward, made a short speech highly eulogistic ot the democratic leaders; and then, aiter the adop- tion of the following resolutions, the meeting ad- journed sine dies— Whereas the men employed on the public parky and works are threatened with being discharged, owing to difficulties in the financial department of our ‘city government, and ‘whether said difficulty be real or imaginary, if they cause the said work to be suspended, we, the workinemen, will be the real sulferers instead of’ the criminals, if there be such, who have brought such disgrace on the great democratic arty of the Stave and county and so much misery on the Qoiting thousands of our clty; and. whereas, even in view of economy and the interest of property holders, the stoppage of work partly finished would, atsome future time, necess- tate renewal, and the money already spent on said works would nly be adaing heaps to the mountains of losses altributed to the cupldity of our city officials; therefore, in view of — such 1 facta and setting aside the iterest’ that should be always aken in the encouragement of honest (ol, wo the laboring men of New York, will not be forced to muffer for crimes that we are Innocent of and bad no hand in creating, and we further nope it there be any of our efty oficlals found gull of the alleged charges, the dignity of the law will be vindi- cated and that in this reat land no station will be so exalted ‘as to secure them from the pennities of crimes whieh they have committed, as the workingmen of'New York ure de- termined to rebuke those who are found unfaithful to the common weal. ‘« Resolved, That we, the workingmen of New York, are not insenaible to the duty we owe to our common country, and as history unerringly points to the happiness, peace and plenty of former times under democratic rule we can enjoy the same blessings again by rebuking crime and injustice, whether in democrat or republicap, sud rewarding virtue it the possessor be clothed in rage, And be it further Resolved, That we tender our sincere thanks to the editor of the HERALD for the honest and sensible, if sometimes un- pleasant, advice given to the Iabormg classer, and also to the city authorities in recommending the continuance of tha works on the public parks. ‘These resolutions were unanimously adopted, after which the meeting adjourned.

He stated further that the connsel were to retura the same to him by noon yesterday, aud (hat on Monday he would make a final settlement of tne order.

Another Connolly 1s in the field of judicial war- fare, Tue “Big Judge’? has been playing in a sint- lar réle as his namesake, the Comptrolter.

The ctr- cumstances under which this arrest has been made are as follows. Messrs. Mi “rey & Kernan, attorneys and coun. selors, of Nassau street, lave for their client ex. Alderman Tereace Faricy. The Alderman is well known in the city, and especially in tue Nineteenth ward. He is a large owner of real est and iy greatly interested therein, It became tue duty of the above legal firm, in compiying with the insirac. at, to make a record of his real y lls private use.

The Memoranda was made on Slips, Hamoering about six hundred or seven hundred, bearing om their face the city seal. When these memoranda were com- pleted Mr. Johu A. Fitzgeraid, pracitsing lawyer of Srookiyn, was retained by the firm to go over the memoranda and verify them.

The Reg ister replied, “f Know. Mr. MoCaitrey very well, and he must see’ me about if”? Mr. Fitzgerald went to Mr, McCa‘trey and informed oim of waat had nap- pened. The latter lost po time in seeing the “Big Junge,” and after inquiring as tothe cause of this conduct the Register repued, “Some damned re- porter is trying tu get the TKANSACTIONS OF THE RING in real estate, and | am determined not to allow it in’ my office.” It was explained to the irate Register that this was not an ogg by any damped reporter or any desire to look into the transactions of te but purely a matter of business between Mr, McCaffrey and Alderman Fariey. The return of the papers was demanded, when the Register stated that he had burned tpem. Mr. McCaffrey then said that be would take other measures with Mr. Connolly to recover those papers a lert the office, Mr. Connolly met Mr. Parley the following morning, and said that he had ‘all! the papers and would return them The papers were not returned, and yesterday morn- ing an application was made to Mr. Justice Coulter, which Was granted, for A SEARCH WARRANT to examine the Office of the Register.
