GEORGE 8. A TIGA DIL, The Aspect of Aifairs Yester- day About the City Hall. The Reported “Arrest? of the Mayor. HOW RUMORS GET AFLOAT. Opinions of the Boys on the Rochester War Dancc—The Tammany Delega- tion Looking Out for Squalls, A fearfully rumor-laden atmosphere pervaded the City Hall Park yesterday, and everybody who was about was awfully impressed by it, notwithstanding the fact that nothing definite was rumored by or concerning anybody. To illustrate exactly how matters stood, a HERALD reporter was looking up at the sparrows in the trees between the City Hall and the new Court House and thmking of interviewing them, when a quidnune bustled past him, and, with a twitch of the coat sleeve, pulled the languishing scribe t0- ward the chain. In @ wofully dubious way he re- marked, looking all around to see that no one else overheard it:— “Old boy (meaning, of course, the reporter), I’ve got a ‘pein’ for you. 1 don’t know how much there is in it, put [ got it from a good source. I hear that @ warrant has actualiy been issued for tne arrest of Mayor Hall. I got it from a friend of mine who heard—now mind this is confidential and don’t ‘et out’ on it—a friend of mine who heard George — say su. Don’t you say to anybody that I told you, but the understanding 1s that it won’t be served before Wednesday, so a3 to give the Mayor time to adopt any definite course he may aecide upon, Isuppose they mean to give him the oppor- tunity to resign. If he doesn’t do something by that time they'll snap nim up before some police court, and the fur’ll fly thick then, you bet,’? The reporter, like the prominent men about town, when they don’t want to say anything that will “commiv’ themseives, simply whistled a soft, long note, raised nis eyebrows to tho middle of hts fore- head so as to look surprised, and didn’t “commit” humsclf, The quidnunc asked for a chew of tenacco and “scooted” into the County Clerk’s office, as ever and anon the reporter mused upon his plan of opera- tions. Half a dozen officials were interviewed as far as they wanted to be interviewed in fifteen min- utes, but they were all men who wouldn’t commit themselves or give “evasive’’ answers, such as “Pshaw!’ “You don’t say!’ “I ain’t fresh!’ “Thavs oO. K.”” That reporter !s not a lazy man or a “slouch,” but he could not improve on that rumor from the quidnunc, and etill here was ‘something in It.’ ‘The fact was that a warrant of arrest had actually becn applied for before Justice Bixby, and that the latter oiicial decided to issue a summons instead, requiring the Mayor to appear before him on Wednesday eveuing next to answer a complaint charging him with malfeasance in office, ANOTHER KUMOR that oppressed the alr in the same dolefal manner was to the effect tnat Judge Barnard had restored his injunccton to its full original force and effect. A Supreme Court cierk, burrying ihrough the Park, was captured by the reporter and quizzed. “Is that so—that Judge Barnard has restored the original 10, anction /"” “Why, no, He bas issued his final order settling the terms of the injunction and permanentiy moui Tying it, 8u a8 to aliow some Of the departments to carry on their functions, I must be oil.” And he went. A RUMOR OF BLOODY PORTENT next oozed around from mouth to mouth, and it Was reported that ex-Speaker Billy” Hitchman al- ost “clubbed the head of 0’ George Joues, of :he ‘cnves,” Or had shot him. Another HERALD reporter called upon Mr, Jones im his sanctum and was Kindly received. In answer vo inquiries Mr. Jones saidythe report of any piiysical assauit Whatever was a canard. The only founda- tion for it was in the fact inata Mr. Hitchnman had called and most pointediy, vehemently and excitedly objected to the printing of his name among the ust of Jammany delegates to Roches Asecond party said that “Biily” called on Mr. Jones in @ Very excited manner, and sald to him, in earnest and slowly uttered words, “If any abuse of me appears in your paper I'll hold you person. ally accountanie for it, and I tell you so that you may understand me.” He was assared that “that was ail right,” ana left, saying if it wasn’t he would make it “all right.”? HOW DULL AND DREARY generally ‘things Jooked about the City Hall yes- lerday it 1s difficult to describe. Mayor Hall, Deputy Comptroller Green and “Chariey” Loew were almost the vay promment department ovicials about tne grounds. The Mayor came down to his oMce shortly before Noon, dressed in @ complete suit of gray and Jooking none the worse of all the berat- ing be has endured during the past mouth. it’ was generally reporied that he knew that @ warrant for his arrest had been or would be appiied for during the day, but that aidn’t fret hin, He has anticipated this move of his opponents for the past two weeks, and would probavly be the least surprised man in the city sould such @ documeut be served upon him, He Knows that it is @ part of the programme. He at- tended the meeting of the Commissioners of the Simking Fund in we afternoon, THK GREAT WAR DANCE of Wednesday at Rochester was what was the mat- ter at the public offices yesterday. The fight in this city 18 an Old story now, and,Tauinany has recovered from the first shock of the onset. On Wednesday she has to mect another attack, and ail the trusty henchmen of the ‘Kring’ were yesterday girding up their joins for “a hand in.” Mosl of the functionaries, the men who pull the wires and “drum up” the boys, were looking after the delegations to see that they all get squarely Of to-night, They know they have got to face stern music, aud that the country democracy Ee to give the old dictators a severe tussle for re . There was much anxiety expressed by the rank and file, the young feila’s who hold the nice Iittie cierkships and aasistant cierkships, and among te other “young felia’s” who would ike to hoid them, ne Well) Ammong Ue mpiority Of thoye Wik Whom the HERALD reporter conversed the belief was ex- pressed that the Tammany delegation would be the only recognized delegation from New York. They expressed this belief raj and said no more. The belie! was evidently born of the hope, THE STEADY TALKERS Were not so sanguine, for they reasoned the matrer saw danger ahead, il tell you what it is,” remarked one of them, “the countrymen see a chance, or they think so, to give us a twist this ume, and wou’t lose the Opportunity for want of trying. e whole Tam- many delegation ‘ll be there—every man of ’em—but it won't ao 10 ty to ‘rush things.’ I hear, too, that the Kings county crowd is goin’ up there dead set against Tammany, and, mind you, they’re the next strongest county deiegation to our own, Here’s another thing. Jerry was saying just now that all the boys is goin’ up the and goin’ to make a rush for the Convention and fill the house, Why only an hour I heard froma man that came cown from Rochester Saturday that the State Committee had decided to issue tickets, and admit nobody without ’em. How's that? They've been fixtn’ ti Up there the last week, and are goin’ to have a big crowd of special portce and any amount of their “friends” besides. jo use talkin’, now; we hain’t goin’ to have no soft thing of it.” ago And the crowd scattered listlessly with’ a long drawn “w-e-l-]! perhaps so,” and Log sere tueir hats they meandered off lato the new Court House. THE HERALD MAN MEANDERSD for some occult reason into the same noodle struc- ture, and stood looking and wondering in the rotunda. Two slouchy-looking men stood near him leaning against the pillars of the great staircase. They looked exactly like men who had been waiting ail summer for the fall election to come around, so that they might make themselves useful and be rewarded by an appointment on the police or as messenger in some o/ the departments. In a few minutes a younger man with a brown fall overcoat step] carelessly out of the County Clerk’s office, and sauntering along to where the pair were standing asked, “What's the news?” “Nothing that | hear of,”’ was the response. “Ain't you going up to Rochester, Ned?” asked the man with the overcoat. “What in hell would I do at Rochester /” queried “Ned.” “1'm broke.” “Vil give you a pass if you care about going up. I'll be there myself, and I'll see you all rigot. You haln’t coilng nothing, ana you might as well go with the boys.” The ‘ tonter’”? pulled five or six slips of paper from. his pocket, and sald, “If you'll go, say the word,” and involuntarily the two moved away and passed out of the building, It was generally reported yesterday that Tam- many means to foree the Convention to-morrow and virtually “storm the position,” but it is scarcely credible that auy forcible or violent course will be adopted. This is the opinion of the ‘solid men.?? They say that the best and only safe means of gee ting before the Convention will be by orderly con- duct. AN EX-ASSEMBLYMAN stated that in his opinion the Tammany delegation would, if pressed to tt, openly denounce the “King? and read them out of the party. He even went so far as to say that he had this trom good authority that such a course had already been fully canvassed without the knowledge of Tweed, Sweeny & Co., and that a revolt in Tam- many itself was by no means improbable. In the canvass it was urged by the seditionists that there was no use in the party sacrificing itselt for its lead- ers, who themselyes were losing strength, So it may be seen that to-morrow will be “ng with the ‘ate of Owsar and of Kome.’? THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT was not the acene of any new movements yesterday, Deputy Comptroller Green was at his post auring the whole of business hours, excepting whiie in attendance at the meeting of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, ‘ There was considerable interest centred in the fact that Mr. Green and Mayor Hall were thus at this meeting brought into joint official contact, At the meeting both gentlemen deported themselvea with perfect cordiality, as became the positioas they occupied, and @ stranger would never have dreamed of the war of epistles that only a few days since was ‘waged between these two ofticials, JIMMY O'BRIEN'S PARTY, the reform democracy, will exert ail its infuence to-morrow, and 118 well Known that Sammy ‘Ti+ den, General John A, Green, Hamilton Harris and other prominent men having imtueace with the State democracy wiil go for ‘‘ammany heavily; the reformers calcuiate on being able to show aspiendia victory on their side. They point with pride to their delegation, and claim that it 1s the cream of un- tainted city democracy, They will be on hand early—delegates, alternates and “ all hands,” JUDGE CONNOLLY’S TROUBLES, concerning the reported concealment or distribu- Uon of documents, forming part of the archives of his ofice, have all “ended in smoke.” Tue foliow- ing letier from the Register will explaia fully the status of the affair:— To THe E or TH Hrratp: The ex p. ements that have been published in refer- ence to thesubject at issue between Mr. Mecatlrey and myself are 60 widely at variance with the facis of the ‘case that I must ask, as an act of ‘justice to myself, the priviege of publicly refuting the absurd and malicious fabrications that have sprung from so trivial @ circumstance. The recent astounding disclosure of the purioining aud destruction of public docu mects has caused me to be more than ever fealously vigi uni in my watchfuiness over the records committed to my uilicial care, When I was informed that a vast numier of had’ been surreptitiously collate clerks, in flagrant violation of | owice,’ I felt “St imperatively my pro- hibit tie removal of any of those papers until I ‘bad made an examination of their contents. For this purpose I took them into my possession, and on the following day, having become satisied of the propriety of surrendering ther, T notiti parties interested that they could have them’on appifeation at my office, Thad not upto that time supposed that any feelings of dissatisfaction existed. The ridiculous proceedings that were subsequently instituted are of too farcical and contemptible a nature to entitle them to serious cousidcrauon. Respectfully, MICHAEL CONNOLLY, Register. THE TAMMANY TRIBE, Last Night’s Council Fire at the Wigwam—The Sachens Despoudent—Lawmentations in the Camp. Around the council fire of the Tammany Wig- wam, in Fourtcenth sirect, a few of the chiefs met last night for a short space of time. They assembled in smal) numbers, for the business was more for thought than discussion, One word was sounded, and their countenances fell, with sad- ness marked thereon, The Grand Saciiem had sent word that his trusty scouts had told him that none of their tribe would be ad- mitted to the Grand Couucil of the ‘Tammany indians, to be held on Wednesday, at earw dawn of that day, in the Rochesier Wigwam Tuere was a wail, @ shriek, @ stout, and all Was darkness around them. By the light of the moon they wended their way to the Wendell House of the white man, and there drank firewater. By this means they dispelled all remembrance of the great gloom and disgrace that had cowe upon their trive, at the word of their gaeat chief, that they were pot brave warriors and Were not to ight any mores COMMISSIONERS OF SINKING FUND. Meeting at the Mayor’s OM:e—Reports and Communications—The New York and New Haven Company’s Lexse—Paymeut of the Laborers. A meeting of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund was held yesterday afternoon iy tue Mayor's office. The Mayor presided, and the other Commis. stoners present were Recorder Hackett, Chamber. lain Bradley and Deputy Comptrolier Green, ‘The minutes of the previous meeting having been approved an application was received from tue People’s Ferry Company for ferry facilities at Peck slip and at Tweaty-minth street, lor tue parpose of running a ferry to Brooklyn. The application was referred to the Chamberlain and Comptroller, DOCK BONDS. The Clerk read a requisition for one million of dock bonds, Referred vo the Comptroller to repurt. The Dock Commission further requested that tne Commissioners of the Siuking Fund cease making any further land grants along the river front, as Such grants seriously interfered with the progress of their operations, Recorder HacKETT remarked that if the action of the Sinking Fund so seriously embarrassed the Dock Commissioners the request should be com- plied with. The matter was accordingly referred to the Comptroller and Recorder, The Clerk was ordered to prepare a copy of the lease of lands situated becween Sixteentn and Sevenceenth streets, in avenne ©; also twenty-three lots of Gansevoort property, heid at $15,000 rent, Which the Dock Commisstoners agreed to sell. THE NEW YORK AND NEW HAVEN RAILROAD. A communication was received trom the New York and New Haven Railroad in reference to the pro- perty situated av Bim and Centre streets, applying A i renewal 0. @ lease at the anaual rent of $13,500. Mr, BRADLEY—The rent of that property shoula be $50,000, Recorder HACKETT—1 should be very glad to get it for $13,000 a year. Mayor HALL said the company was restricted to use it for railroad purposes exclusively, and the company offered to give $15,000 rent if the cily would remove the resirictions, An appraisement of this propery had been made by Mr. Chauncey Depew aod Mr. Fairchild, and the company had agreed to give $13,000 4 year for it, He had made a0 examination of the subject with the Corporauon Counsel, and he thought there could pe no doubt that tney were bound by the terms of the lease, be caase the two appraisers were united in tueir Opinion as to the valuation of the property, The RECORDER—That restricuon gives them the right to use it for any purpose. Wiut is the verm of the renewal of the lease? Mayor Hati—Twenty-one years, Deputy Comptrolier GueeN—I should be unwilling to lease the property at that rate. I think the rent is entirely inadequate, and although J wonla be un- Willing 1 advance my judaspent svaiust the oficial AY, OCTOBER 8, I871—QUADRUPLE SHEET, report of the appraisers until 1 am better advised, it seems to me that the rent is entirely madequate, Mayor HaLL—That was the opinion of every sin- gle member. of the Board of the Sinkiog Fut It Seems to me that under the terms of the lease we hi pound by the appraisers’ opinion of the valu- on, Mr. BrapLry.—The terms of the original lease aid not give them the right to relet. They have used the property for otuer manuiacturing pur- OSes. F Recorder HackKTr—The only question before the Board at this time 1s whether we shall give them the additional right without restriction. There Were opinions given by the appraiser for the grantor ana by the app: for the- grantee, and both . It seems tu® me, therefore, that we must bound by the action of both appraisers, The only question 1s whether we shall ‘ant this reswiction, I quite in the opinion Ubat this rent is wholly inadequat my mind, but 1 am not prépared at this time to impeach the actian of the appraiser appointed! by our own body. Lam opposed to granting any other restriction. After some further discussion the matter was laid over. A resolution was then passed authorizing tne Comptroller to invest any surplus money of the sinking fund for the redemption of the city debt in any stocks or bonds he might deem praden' PAYMENT OF THE LABORERS, Mr. Bravizy called attention to the fact that a statement nad appeared in some of the apes that the meeting of the Sinking Fand Commission ‘Was for the purpo.e of raising money to pay the la- borers, He had heard nothing of that sabject be- fore the Commission dur.ng the present proceed- ings. He was very anxious to pay the laporers em- ployed by the city government. If the Com- miss.oners took any action im the mater he was prepared to exercise his functions as one of the Commission. He would I'ke to know from the Comptroller it the meeting had been convened to raise money in order to pay te men em loyed on the public works. If the Comptroller would tnform him how the matter was to be arranged he certainly ‘Was prepared to periorm bis part, He drew atten. tion to the subject as he understood the statement had come from the Comptroller’s office. Mayor HaLt~I had occasion to examine the re- port to which you refer, and J found that it did not emauate from any oficial source. 1 took occasion the other day to state what undoubtedly the Comp- troller or Recelver would say, and that was that the Board had nothing to do witn 1t. Mr. BRADLEY—I am desirous of exercising my Powers in the matter if any exist. Mayor HaLL—Ihe Chair rules you bave no such ower, The RecorpER—I wou'd very much wish to see the laborers paid, or, in fact, any one relieved from distress. Deputy Cumptrotler GreEN—I would simply say that the action of the Commusstoners, authorizing the investmeut of the surplus funds of the sinktn fund, would enable them to raise money to pay 0: the departments, or at least some of them. The Bourd thea adjourned, to meet at two o'clock next Monday in the Mayor’s Office, Revision and Correction of Assesaments. This Board, consisting of Deputy Comptroller Green, Recorder Hackett and the Counsel to the Corporation, met yesterday afternoon in the Compa troller’s office, and briefly discussed the tion of lIeyying assessments, After a short consultation the mecting adjourned without making apy conurma- tlons, : ‘ THE POLICE PAY. No Money to Mcet Expenses—Rushing for Fands In All Directions. The usvally quiet Department of Police was in a state of general excitement yesterday in conse- quence of the rumor which had gone abroad that the salaries and expenses for the montn of Septem- ber could not be paid as usual. At an early hour SUPERINTENDENT KFL3O’S OFFICE ‘Was besieged by a mass of captains, all anxlous and eager about the state of the treasury. The Superin- tendent too seemed to share the universal uneasi- ness about the condition of the finances. Not so much that he dreaded the payment of tle money or any difficulty of that aature, but that he knew that a large namber of men tn the force would suffer by the delaying of their pay, Men of family—and there is* alarge number of such in the police for¢e—who had counted faithfully on thelr money yesterday, will ve the most inconvenienced and disappointed, and luseems AN EXTRAORDINARY THING that the Tenth National sank, an institution which has enjoyed so much city patronage, could not have stretched a fpomt for once and Jent the department the money necessary for the Moment, On paturcay last Commissioner Barr ex- pected some such dificuity as this, and made every evfort in his power to come to an artraugement with the authorities of the bamk; bat he failed, though up to noon yesterday he ‘was confident of success. Mr. Barr, who is Treas- urer oi the Police Board, seeing that he was not likely to be snecessiul witn the Tenth National Bank, exhausted every other resource within reach on benait of the ‘preservers of the public peace, dut without any satisfactory Te- snit, The sum to be raised was $275,000, and of course such an amount conid not be casily procured ai any tine, but the public will be-much amazed to fnd out that the bank which bas been the receptacie of their money for so loug, and has enjoyed the privilege of handling so much of it, should at a moment like the present REI USE TO COME TO THE ASSISTANCE of the most essential and important department in the public service. Whatever the proceedings were going on privately yesterday morning, all hope of obtaining the needed supplies from this quarter had not been abandoned until the following despaten was received by Mr. Barr:— TrNTH NATIONAL BANK.

As soon as this document was made public in the buliding a number of public and private individ- uals jumped into the breach and offered their own means to pay ost certain portions of ‘he debt of the Department, and they were giadly accepted. Among the first of those gentlemen was Judge Dowling, who came into tne Central Office as quickly as the heWs Was made known to him, and said the men of THE SIXTH MUST BE RAID. “IL will advance the money.” Captain Kennedy soon after appeared in the hall fresh from a consultation with the Judge, and Pept AF in his band whe $6,866 28 necessary to pay off bis men.

This is a course of action on the part of a few indl- viduals that no doubt will be extensively followed to-day by pubiie-spirited cltizeas, and the didiculty will, In this way, at least, be soon got over, The Fire Department is, unfortunately, in the same predicament as the police, thug making distress and inconvenience 1n the two most importany depart. ments in the city, Ifthis 1s the only beneiit the seventy drones can bestow on the city the sooner they yield up their several ghosts the better for the people aud those in the people’s service, PROSECUT.NG THE CONTRACTORS, What Commander-'n-Chief Havemeyer Sayn— He Won't Post the Camprign in Bandbills= The Attack to be Made from Kort Barnard, ‘Thie excitement growing out of the rumored con- templated arrest of Ring jeaders and contractors yesterday induced a reporter to call upon ex-Mayor Havemeyer to ascertain if he had any further doings | of the Committee of Seventy to impart to the press, Sending in his card at the office of the Pennsylvania | Coal Company he was received, standing, by Mr. Havemeyer, who was tn conversation with a gentlo, man, ana from whom he turned, with the remark:— “What can J do for you, sir!’ “I nave called to see you about the suit now pend- ing,” said the reporter. “Whatsuit?’ asked Mr. Havemeyer, with an air of non- comprehension. “The suit acainst members of the Ring.” “IT have nothing to say, sir.

Third Chapter of the Govern- ment of the Pavement. More Startling Developments —A Man Discharged Because He Served tho People Faithfully—The New Stable—What Bumsted Intends to Do Next—A Committee of Public Safety To Be Appointed. As the investigation into the conspiracy of the pavement “Ring” 1n Jersey City progresses the most astounding frauds are coming to light. All the in- fluence of the “Ring,” which comprises, in the first Place, the majority of the Board of Public Works, and, in the second place, the majority of the Board of Finance, has been employed to thwart the inves- tigation, which would never perhaps bave been en- tered upon—and certainly not this year—but for the disclosures published in the HERALD. Men who had made most damning charges against the tom- bination ailuded to, which is virtually the govern- ment of the city, were seized with a trembling in the nether limbs when they vegan to reflect on the wratn tocome. Such men either had bills remain- ing unpaid by these boards, or they expected favors ithe shape of contracts or appointments, But, happily for the interests of the taxpayers, there aro yet TEN RIGHTEOUS MEN WITHIN THE DOOMED CITY, whom money cannot purchase nor threats tutumi- date; men who are to be found arrayed against thieves, whether these individuals enter through a bedroom window at night, or under the guise of legisiative enactment thrust their hands into the Pockets of tho taxpayers in open day, What is popularly known as government patronage isiavishly employed for the purpose of covering up the enormities of the Bumated administration and arresting the progress of inquiry into the operations of the “gentiemen of the pavement.” The atiidavit of Mr. George Clark, of Hoboken, was unanswera- ie. The following statement from an old resident of Jersey City, whose word 1s his bond toall who know him, gives even a clearer view of the conspi- racy which is actively at work for the robbery ot the people: — MR. JOHN GERAGHTY’S STATEMENT. Mr. Joha Geraghty, a resident of Grand street, Jersey City, unbosoms himself as follows:—I was appointed an inspector by the Board of Water Works of Jersey City on the Ist of May, 1870, to serve till the Ist of May, 1871. It was my duty to sce that no person tapped & sewer without a permit {rom the Board. When the new charter was passed and the Board of Public Works assumed the duties of the Water Board a resolution was adopted +o the effect that the new Board should be governed by the rules of the old Board until other Tules wouid be drawn up and adopted. On the 14th of April last I went along Jackson avenue, in that part of the city known as South Bergen, and found Dave Bumsted having six connections made with thé sewer, and he was in the act of opening another on the line of theavenne, This Dave is a brother.of Willlam H. Bumsted, one ef the Commisaisioners oi Public Works; Iasked bim what he was doing, and he re- plied that he was putting the sewer in for Robinson (W. H. Bumsted’s partner), I inquirea tf Robinson had any license, afd he replied that he did not know. Soon afterweras I met Robinson, and I questioned him about the matter, and he told me that Bumsted told him he could put the sewers in; 1 told him 1 would have to report the matter. 1 was my duty to report such violations to the engineer or to his assistant (Robert B, Coar), I made my report to Mr. Car on nis occasion, and while I was thus engaged William H. Bumsted | walked in. Imentioned tne facts to him and called his attention to the rule adopted by the Board, namely, that mo person should tap a sewer without a permit, under a penalty of $20, He admitted that the Board adopted the rule and added, “Never mind; 1 will report tt to the Board myself.” Four hours afterward Mr. Coar brought me a notice written by the clerk to the Loard of Public Works 1n the following form:—*I am dirocted by the chaarman of the Committee on Sewers to in- form you tnat irom to-morrow aiternoon, tne loth of April, your services will no longer be required at vhis office, H. Newkirk, Clerk. By the chairman of the Committce on Sewers.’ Three days afterwards I saw Joun Bumsted (a cousin of W. H. Bumsted) engaged in the discharge of the duties Of my office. Two days alter that Mr. Gillett, President of the Board of Public Works, sent Street Commissioner Van Keuren to in- quire about my case. Mr. Van Keuren was sittin; in a wagon with Mr. Benjamin Weish, a member o! the Board of Public Works. I told lim I had been discharged because I caught stealing tne property of the city (here sir. Geragaty names a prominent member of the Board of Public Works); yet I did not consider myself regularly dischar Nor would I until charzes snould be prefer red against me to the Board and action taken thereon. T told him emphaticall that I wouid consider myself an inspector till the ena of my term, witch would be dn the 1st of theensting month, unless the Board of Public Works should decree otherwise. Ihave never since been regularly discharged, 1 brought my case before the Court and it will be tried at the approacn- ing term. I will repeal 3 4 bye Myjiest and most explicit testimony thé chargés T iiave aac, fo vo vg! as cca Of Pabiic Works in the ‘St 9 for the balance of my wages remaining fete wa in the Héxt place the graver charges i nave preferred will come under the cognizance of the Grand Jury. Mr. Geraghty makes the foregoing statement with a firm determination to have the subject thoroughly veatilated in the courts. THE GRAND JURY WILL BE SWORN TO-DAY, and it is expected that, in addition to the charges preferred against at icast one member of the city government, the question of the Hackensack dock urchase will for the second time come be- fore the jury. Last year the Supreme Court at Trenton pronounced @ decision in the later case which places a member of the present govern- ment in @ very critical position, the Court ex- preasly declaring that said member “violated the express terms of the charter and hus official oath.” The case came before the Grand Jury, and the in- dictment was defeated by two votes, ‘Lhe people, who are amazed at the go-called mu- nicipal robbery in New York, have no idea that in Jersey City TAMMANY J8 THROWN INTO THE SITADR. The amount of,piunder drawn by tie * Ring” from the taxpayers of Jersey City 1s more than doubie the Tammany misappropiiations waen population and resources are considered. Tammany in its most corrupt days would never draw a large sum from the City Treasury on the pretext that a stable ya needed ‘tor the horses on the public works. And yet this has been actually done in Jer- sey City, The stable which is belng erected on Wayne street has been a notorious fraud dn the people trom the very inception of the project. There ‘was a ‘Job “in the very purchase of the lots, When the sum of $11,550 was pe for three lots, when three others wore offered on the same block for $9,000, as shown in the Mayor’s velo, which was overruled, The erection of this Stable will cust $26,000. The contract for the maxon and brick work was awarded to Mr. Roviugon, partner of William H. Bumsted, There seems to be an ecjort to spend as much money as possible upon it, The dome which is to crown the bailding will cost $2,300, and yetit is only @ stanie. When these sums have been expended and the building is pro- nounced to be complete, then onty will the expendi. tures begin in earnest, ‘here will be big “jobs” in the purchase of the horses, in the supply of feed and all necessaries to the animals, and in the contract for carts and wagons, harness, &c. And then at election times a large stair of men—some say four to each horse—will be em. toyed. Truly may it be sala that New York, in all its gior?, Was not arrayed lise one of these. ‘The Bumsted aaministration may be swept from power, but there the stable wilt stand, vieldiug no reveune w the city, a monument to tne plundering “Ring.’? THE NEAT BIG HAUL Bot this is not all. Bumsted had a conversation not many on ago with one of the ex-Poliee Com- missioners of Jersey City on the Long Branch bow The ex-oricial remarked that the people would cer- tainly rise in their might this year and drive the ig”? out of power. To which Bumsted cooliy remarked:—“Never mind about that; I can fix it with any Legislature, No mater how the election goes, we have contracts to give out fo the extent of ive millions, or pernaps SEVEN MILLIONS OF DOTLARS.)? So that Bumsted is reaily linpressed with the idea that no remedy remains tothe people, This project, extravagant as itis, 1s betug pusher forward, Jers sey avenue, With its Belgian substantial pavement, 18 being torn up to make way for a wood pavement im which two members of the Board of Public Works are largely interested, The property owners object, but through one of the “pecuitarities of the char- ter," as Bumsted delights iM stating, their protest 1s thrown overboard, Mr. Charles G Sisson, Mr. Aneas Md toot and others, however, intend to apply for redress to the courts, RP hheeting of prominent citizens was held yester- day to Srrenas for @ mass meett that the peo. lé may unite for protection against the public Tireven ‘The call will be issaed on Fri next, The programme includes the appointment of a com- mmitiee to Obtain legal advice. and the appoiwunent of a comintttée Of from fifty to one hundred ee ey ures not entirely in accordance with law may be ex. pected, Judging trom the temper of the of this movement, NEWARW’S DEWOORATIC COUP D’ETAT.

Sommers and L, Wiedenmeyer. was appointed to walt upon the nominee and in. form him of the action of the Convention. Whi they returned and the venerable, white-haired democratic war horse was observed upon the stage the scene that followed was oi the most INTENSBLY EXCITING CHARACTER.

Coroner Herrman yesterday corhmenced an ine vestigation into the circumsiances attending the death of Charles Bauman, tne lad sefenteen years of age who was fatally shot at Jones’ Wood on Wednesday last. The bullet which caused death, doubtless, had been discharged at a targety and, missing its aim, accidentally struck Bau. man in the back. That the target was in an unsafe and dangerous condition is evident froma the facts already developed, and doubtless imme. diate steps will be taken either to stop the firing altogether, or have it conducted 80 ag not herealter t endanger human life.
