£ _——_-~ CTY COMPLEXITIES. The Legal Movements Against Mayor Hall and Ilis Contemplated Arrest. wee MR. TWEED AND HIS PROPERTY. The Order of Judge Brady as to Its Non-Disposal, A Resignation in the Comp- P troller’s Office. At the Mayor’s Office, The tongue of Rumor was very busy yesterday with the name ofthe Mayor. Early in the morning and until iate im the afternoon there were many inquirers and “interviewers” seeking to find their way to the presence of His Worship. This desire was greatly strength. ened when the rumors about the resignation of the Mayor culminated in the publication in the morning papers of the resolutions of the Com- mitiee of Seventy calling upon the Chief Magis trate of the city to resign, ana threatening to take legisiative action in January to compel him to va- cate the civic chair, A HERALD reporter had a con- Versation with His Honor on this subject, and it was evident that the resolutions of the Committee ol Seventy did not disturpd his equanimity. The Mayor said it ceriainiy Was not his intention to re- sign. The action of the Committee of Seventy was periecily justifiabie. As a political or- ganization they had right to the ex- pression of their opinions; whether those opinions were expressed offensively or not was quite a matter ol taste, In reference to what had been stated as the cause of the cetermination 1 the Mayor to resign his office he gaid that he was not in any wav perplexed as to who should ve Mr, Tweed's successor, “When Mr. Tweed resigns,” said the Mayor, “i have @ good man to put in.” Later in the day there were rumors that the Mayor was to to be arrested, and that Judge Brady had signed the order of arrest, on the application or Mr. Peckham, one of the counsel of the Bureau of Municipal Cor- rection. Mr. Peckham vold a HERALD reporter that ‘this report was not correct, He had made no such ap- Plication. In ail probavility this report originaved out of the proceedings in Mr. Tweed’s case, particulars of which are given beiow. Tnere was, however, t roport that the Mayor would be arresied, pro- ably this week, whicu had a much better auihority for its support than any previous rumors, and was based upon oficial knowledge of the proceedings before the Grand Jury. * Another Movement Against Mr. Tweed. Mr. Peckham, one of the counsel associated with ‘he Atworney General in the conduct of the law Cases of the Committee of Seventy, applied yester- day for an order to restrain Mr. Tweed from disposing of his property. Though it may be considered rather late in the day for action of this kind, there 1s no doubt that some very valuable property can be secured for the benefit Of the city if the suits now instituted are decided in favor o! the plaintiffs, 1t is Kaown that Mr, Tweed’s inverest 1n the Thira Avenue Katiroad ts still held vy him, and this, with other property, the under-men- tioued order wul prevent a disposal of. Tue foliow= ing is a copy of the order: SUPREME CouRT.—The People of the Strteof New York vs Wiliam M, Tread ¢ ai.—On reading the aflidavit of John 0. Stoutenderg and Wheeler H.

The Board met yesterday, President Coman in the chair, A very large number of “General Orders” calling for street improvements were adopted, the desire being to clear the calendar of ail unfinished “General Uraers.”” Most of the resolutions adopted Were in favor of placing gas lamps in front of cer- tain institutions, to pave wit Belgian pavement certain streets, and other matters of an cquaily general cuaracter. The Board then adjourned. The Comptroller’s Ofice. Mr. W. A. Herring, the Auditor of Accounts, in the Auditing Bureau, has resigned.

His counsel coniended also that as the crime alleged was committed .but two days ago it was unusual to bring the accused to trial on 80 short a matice. The case accordingly went over, Charles Wood pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny. He was abie to show an excellent previous good character, and in consideration of some other miugating circumstances sentence Was suspenied and Wood discharged. t this point Colonel Fellows stated there were some six or seven Cases on the calendar in which BOTH SIDES WERE RBAD’ for trial, bat for certain reasons, which he did not propose to make public, he would decline to try any more cases to-day. Judge Bediord then ordered the Court to be adjouraed unul Monday next at eleven O'clock. THE REFORM MOVEMENT IN BROOKLYN. An Address from the Committee to the Citizens. The sub-commitees of the Citizens’ and Rink Re- form Committees were, from some reason, inactive yesterday. In the general excitement over the Prince’s ball at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the Preparation for Thauksgiving Day, they were almost forgotten, The address to the citizens which the Rink Committee have had in preparation for some days past was completed yesterday and the following 1s a copy:— TO TBR CITIZENS, RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN :— It is deemed proper and expedient by your committee, ap- ofated pursiant to resolutions passed at ® public meeting eld at the Kink on the evening ot October 24, to issue this brief statement of facts by way ot awakening renewed in- terost in toe work to which your “‘Vommiltee of Fifty" is le wing become well known that during the past few years the expeniitures of the cily and county governm have very largely increased, and, as was believed, tar yond the necessary requiremenis for the various improv: ™ments in process of constraction, a call, signed by several hundred citizens of Brookiyn, irrespective of party, politics OF adillations, was published cailing a public meeting at the Rink for consuitation and for the adoption of such measures asmigbt furtuer the objects spectied in the call for the Ing the appoint 80 well expresses the chief purpose for whl pointed that they beg torepeat it, as follows ved, That executive committee of fifty ers be appointed by the Freaideut of this meeting, whose duty it sbail be to take such m-asures as shall be uecessary or ex- pedient to carry out the objects for which we are assembled, to demand a full exhibition of all the accounts of the city and county, and an explicit statement of ail the per- sdus Ia the employ of the city or county gi ment, to enforce any remedies which now to obtain this information if it ix refused, and also to press upon the Legisiature and Governor of the State such mea- sures of legisiation and action may be necessary or | Proper to supply their defects and to remove the causes of the present abuses, and, finally, to assert, sustain and ‘lirect | a united effort of our citizens, without reverence to party, to | obtain @ good government and honest officers to admiisier | it, and the said committee are hereby authorized to cail upon all citizens interested In good government to contribute such funds as may be needful to execute the powers en- trusted to them, and also to till vacancies and add to their umber, ‘As your committee was called into existence to aid in re- dressing wrongs which had been years in accumulating t point beyond which “forbearance ceased to be a virtu and believing that the burdens so long borne could not be re- moved in a day, they wiscly, as seemed to them, postponed detinite and decided agtioa tutil a‘ter che late e.ection ; im- mediate after which, and without the powerful stimulus of he geueral belief that wicked frauds of gigantic propor- tions had at such election been committed upoa the most sacred rights of freemen and popular goverument, they or- | fanied for action, ‘appointed thelr sub-ccmunittees, and | jave commenced the Work committed to their care, The sub-commitiees of the general Committee of Fifty have directly in charge the iavestization of neur:y every impor- tant department of the city and county government involv. ing the expenaiture of money, and consequent liability of the city, and the taxation of tne property oi its citizens, and, more or less directly, of all its fobub:tanis, 1c is the purpose of your committee that such investigation hall be wade with tooroughness and impartiality, witnout “fear, favor or alfection,” and for the sole purpose of ascer- taining the truth, detecting frauds wuerever they may exist, re- | dressing, so far as legal remedies are potent for that purpose, the wrongs of the past, and obtaming by legislation and all | Other proper means security for the ruture, Your committee are unwilling to believe that, if you have faith in their sincerity and moiity to accomplish to any con- | skierable extent tue objects above named, you will permit | them solely to bear the reasonable and necessary expenditures essential to success, It.18 hoped for the sake of our common humanity and the good name of our fair city that no such startling and gigan- | tie frauds will be found as recently discovered in our sister city have staggered the faith of the stanchest friends of opular government throughout the world. in Tesult whether the life blood oozes gently from every pore, | or curgies rapidly from a cut jugular, whether the aredit of | the ‘cliy and county perish through extravagant prodigality or rapacious robvery.

How a Crafty Merchant Ran the Machine—Lot- tery Tickets, Gambling and Begradation— Flooding the Market with Spurious Paper—Flight of the Culprit. It is refreshing to think of the numerous devices regortea to by the wily cheats of the nineteenth century, since almost every day brings to light some novel method of pecuiation and fraud. In fact, to such perfection have the means adopted to swindle the honest portion of the community arrived that the most astounding robberies fail to surprise those actively engaged in business, the result being that mercantue men are constantly on the qui vive for self-protection, but are not unprepared tor the constant revelations of glaring dishouesty, Al- though the case of Saroni does not in itself present any novelty in the course he pursued to scatter his SPURIOUS PAPER ON THE MARKET, there is, mevertheless, @ boldness about it tnat renders it rather sn interesting subject for contem- plation. This Saroni was partner tn a respectable firm of shirt manufacturers in Leonard street, and up to a week ago stood weil in the mercantile com- munity, Indeea, from inquiries made yesterday he Was generally regarded as a very steady and estimable gentleman among a large circle of friends, and his downfall has created a @reat deal of astonishment, But very few of his acquaintances were aware that he had @ mania Jor lottery tickets, and he is not the first person the same sort of madness has brougat toruin, Some fliteem years ago he exnibited the most unaccountable desire to invest his money in this precarious Way Of gambiing, his object, like Many others, being to draw a iarge prize, which, of course, he never did. Circumstances arose that compelled him to desist from his RECKLESS VENTURES, and with commendable fortitude he retired altogether from his lottery specuiations, For years he atiended to his legitimate pursutts, and being a@ man oi good connection progressed rapidly. but his evil genius was ciose at hand, and he once again returned with renewed hopes to the lottery gam: bing. The drain upon bis resources is said to have been very great, and floding that he was iartuer than ever from accomplishing his object, he did not hesitate to replenish his wasted funds at the expense of those with whom he had enjoyed intimate business relations. Saroni was the financier of the firm and was thus enabled to manipuiate without detection, He com- menced his ruinous career by forging names of mercantile firms for "small amounis, his regular course being to cop’ vhe signatures of the houses whose checks big firm received im the ordinary way of business, His gen- eral method was to seil this spurious stuff through brokers in Wali street, or have it discounted in tae Ninth Nationai Bank. It appears that that insttu- tion now holds exactly $30,000 worth of paper en- dorsed by Sarom: & Lindemann, but whether it is valueless Caunot be ascertained until the notes come to maturity. With REMARKABLE SHREWDNESS Saronl managed to take up each note when nearing its maturity. His crime was never suspected. The orgea paper was urchased without hesitrttou, aud, emboldened yy his success, Saroni at ouce plunged recklessly into a system of wholesaie robbery. Messrs. Springer & Co., of Pine street, were the vrokers em- pioyed to sell the paper, aud had it not been for a comparatively trifiing, though unusual, proceeding im the way of business it is impossivie to conjecture where the extensive forgeries would have ended. it appears that one of the notes negotiated by Springer & Co. on J. Alexawder & Co,, was discounted by Mr. Adier, who 1s the head of @ private banking house. Some one iniormed Saroni of this fact, who immediately took up tus note three days before maturity, a circumstence Which led to some inquiry, ending in the Kuowiedge that the nute must be @ forgery. The statement that the Messrs. Springer said 1t came irom Boston is emphatically denied by them, They at once traced to Saroui, for whom they had nego- tiated in the regular course of business. The secret now became known, and Saront fled to Cuba. Springer & Co. iurther aver that they have sold only about fourteen thousand dollars’ worth of paper, for which they paid. This, in brief, is the uatrative Of Saroni’s crime. It 18 thought that nearly one hundred thousand dollars of forged paper has been sold to his advantage, From inves- = of Saront & Lindemann wiil be seriously affected by the transaction, but to what extent 1s unknown, as many of the notes have yec to mature. An officer of the Ninth National Bank stated yester- day that the firm had aiways stood well and had been @ good customer since the bank was opened. | ‘fhe story of Saroni’s forgeries bas created a great | deat of | WONDERMENT AND REGRET, | since, to all appearances, iis character was irre. | proacnabie up to the time of the discovery, No mouve has been assigned for the affatr, except the irresisubie desire lor gambling on the part of the delinquent, It is sald that no les3 than sixty thou. sand dollars’ worth of lottery ticket coupons were | found in his private drawer alter his aeparture. | An investigation is now being made to ascertain, if | possible, the 1ull extent of the forgeries, THE TENDENCIES OF THE AGE AND THE BIBLE.

Notwithstanding the biting coldness of the ‘Weather a fair audience attended at the Central 4 Methodist Episcopal church last evening to hear a lecwure delivered by a gentieman who has now | become quite famous in our city, the Rey.

The age aman hives in 13 to him the most | amply important period of ali time. In it ne bas to play a part in the history of his country, form nis Mind on the great questions of the day, and educate himself for the country beyond the age. If ever there was an age in which an individual can play @ prominent part it is the | present one, in no former era of the world’s his- tory has there been so much activity 1 all the de- partments of knowledge and research. A host of scholars, With a small amvunt oi reverence and a | large amount of learning, are devoting all the cner- gies of ‘heir minds to the solution of the | great problems of the age, social, religious, political and scientific. There is @ radical ‘intellectual tendency abroad, which ts daunced by no obstacle or hindered by no impediment in the | search after What tt considers wath, Though some of these scientists deny the inspiration of the Bible, It 18 yel indirectly the great motive power by which ey are prompted in all their designs and under- takings. Its influence, spite of all that can be said to the contrary, was never so Widesproad as at the present day. Jt has destroyed in some lustances national antagonism and rivalry and obliterated ail differences of color and race vy placing ail mankind upon one platform of equality, In every department of science and learning it is equally power, and it 1s not too much to say that * it 18 permeating the whole mass of society and making iis influence felt to the remotest ends of the earth.

In former times history was studied ho pleasure to the student; now change has come over the spirit of the dream, and history has become as attractive as romance. Jt is no longer a dry record of events, | dates and battles, bat @ living picture of the man- ners, habits and social customs of the | people of the bygone ages. Hence we can boast of @ Bancroft, a Prescott, an Irving and @ Macaulay, and these nam re held in im: inortal reverence vy all true lovers of genius, It 18 an age of scientific inquiry. ‘The man of science | to-day takes hoid of the sunbeam and tells the pro- | Perties of the sun liseli; measures tne planets and Uxes their distances from each other; climbs to the moou and patnts the mountain peaks, which, befure Sclence Came upon the scene, formed the foundation of many a wild legend and story py the ignorant.

The Work of Reorganization and the Thanksgiving Turkey Lull. Owing to tne excitemont about Thanksgiving turkeys and the many other things which goto make ‘Thanksgiving Day the day it is all over the Union, the poiiticians of the reorganizing stripe had Bot much to do or say yesterday, However, there was @greatdeal of hov-nobbing and wire-pulling golag on among ve leaders, and the pians that are to be adopted furmshead abundant food for the outside gossipers allday long who had managed to get & hint of the detaiis. Mr. Tiiden was all day occupied with matters which he pretended had nothing to do with THE GRAND COMBINATION which promises to do so much for the general reformation of parties; but it is very well known that the head and front of the reform «emocracy, a3 Samuet really 18, has been, and sul! 1s, up to his ears in business solely connected with the grand strategies of what the world has had as yet but @ very weak inkling, He 13 extremely reticent as to what the plans when per- fected will be, but enough 1s known to justify the assertion that the conservatives are heart and soul im tavor of the reform idea, and that the “new party” will not turn vat to be, as some people have predicted, a bubbie that can be burst by the passing of an opposition breeze. One thing 1s certain, and that is that the reorganizers do not intend to con. fine taeir etforia to the metropolis, and that the real upshot of the While movement will be a formal declaration on the part of (he hiveral samoornan Of the city that they heartily cou- eur wil THE POLICY OF THE ‘‘PASSIVISTS,"" and that they aro quite willmg to join hands with whatever organization has for its cnet atm and inteat the overwurow of the Grant admupisira- tion, There are a few of the leavers who do not go into the movement with a good heart, but then again influences have been brought to bear which have compeied them to, apparently, at leust, coinciae with tne views of the majority and “do the best thing” they cau under untoward clr. cumstances, It suould be stated tuat the ideu of the democrats not only holding bp ened by waids or Assembly districts, but also of eleciing delegates to Ward and Assemoly conventions, who will in their turn send delegates to the General Committe, whence must come the delegates to the State or pa aie caameaas takes wed and that it will be adopted, Mr, Tilden and Mr, Green are well tried men, what Mr. Evarts called “fearless men always and teariess Men now, honest mea always and honest mea how, democrats always and democrats now,” and the reorganuers have confidence in them, When the plans of the reorganization are made public the people wiil have no reasya yo feel that The idea of refurd 1s dev, A NATIONAL BZFORM PARTY. An Appeal to the People. To THE EpiToR OF THE HEXALD:— There 1s a large number of thinking men in the country at this time who are considering the subject of some reform in our national, State and municipal affairs, Matters have come to such a pass that the continuance of them will unquestionably lead to sqious consequences. Some know the sources of the trouble, others are ignorant of them. Those who have seen most and thought most on the sub- ject have come to the conclusion that continuance in ofice 1s the great source of theevil, It bas be- come the fashion among the politicians, as soon as they are elected to oitice, to commenee a course of action to secure their re-election, and all their public acts are shaped to this end, Public imterests . are forgotten, and Private ones alone thought of and worked for, the result being that they resort to all Kinds of meaus to procure money and interests by special legisia- tion, and do as public men what they would scorn to do as private individuals, The fault is not more that of politiclans than of the people, who have silently allowed Unis fashion to become a seated dis- ease without staring up any solid opposition to it or taking any decided step to arrest it, To be sure, the people complain about it and clamor over it, but g0 straightway to the polls and re-elect these very men, thus endorsing and approving their action, and, it is believed, simply because they know of no means of stopping it. Men have been bought right and left by special class legislation, State govern- ments overturned to give piace vo poiitical wire Working, to dull political recruits, ‘the country Nooded with travelling ofie-holders to keep politics level, and, in truth, the wnoie country made trivutary, in bad laws Sad worse government, to se- cure re-election to oilice.

The sulfering people ask, ‘How can this be reme- died?” and the politicians say, ‘‘What are you going to do about it”? ‘The peopie answered the latter question at the polis in New York at the last elec- tion, and it 1s hoped that the same question Will be answered in the same way in all luture elections throughout the country. “How can this be renie- died y” The remedy 1s as simple as the sore is can- cerous, and is tu be applied by the stespad them- selves, There are but two small, homaopatiic pills to be administered, and the cancerous political sore will heal and the body poiitic become all elective officers ineligible for a second e waine ollice. mmui—Make it w felony for avy elected officer to receive or tor any one to offer any gilt, Uribe or douceur to tuat oficer, with suitabie punishment, It woul’ certainly seem unwise to undertake to Yun our political machinery to grind up te filth @nd slush With which politicians are now feeding it and to endanger its stabliity by running through it material Which it Was never made to consume, Hence the time seems appropriate to correct inese evils, The conservative republicans and tie domo- crats can do it and do it thoroughly, There 1s no Ovcasion for past issues, Which have become history, entwining into this reform movement.

AN ULD DEMOCRAT, THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. Proposed Exclusion of OMm-eholders—A Novel Movement in That Direction. (From the Baltimore ee (republican organ), OV. 2 As one of the members of the National Republican Committee we give public notice in advance that we propose td introduce in that committee a resolution urging and recommending the republicans of all the States to refrain from sending federal officeholders a8 delegates to the National Republican Convention. The time and place for holding the next National Convention will be settied upon at the approaching meeting of the National Committee at Washington onthe 1ith of January. The movements in the sev- eral Staies for the calling of State conventions to select delegates will soon commeuce, aud we hope that no federal ofticehoider will either seek to bo a delegate or ve chosen to represent any constitucney. We maiutain ihat the masses of the people, the men who neither svek nor would hold ouice are the most earnest aud persistent of those who desire the renomination of President Grant, It 1s the business men of the country from whose hands this nomination should be received, and irom whom it will be douvly as strong as it would be from @ Convention largely consututed of federal oillceholders, Those who oppose the renommauon of Presideat Grant have asserted that the volce of the people on this subject has been stifled by those Who are dependent on Presidential favor. ‘They contend that they have obtained control of the State organizations, anil that tae rank and file of the rly are powerless to resist them. Of course this fSail nonsoase: but ail semblanco of its truth can be removed by confining the delegattous entirely to those who do not hold ollice. it woud also bring into active participation with the working of the Tepublican organizations everywhere a ciass of men WhO Will give renewed strengta and vitality to ihe party. ‘Ihe renomination of President Grant by such a Convention will silence all caviilers on this sndject, and conduce to the unity aad harmony of ‘ue party every where, VICE PRESIDENT COLFAX ON THY POLITICAL SITUATION. He Arrives ia Baltimore and Declares His Preference tor the Renomination of General Graut. {From the Baltimore Amertean (edited by a me: of tae Republican National Committee), Nov. Vice President Colfax arrived in Balumore yester- day with his family, enroute to Washington, and will remain here as the guest of Mr. S. i. Shoemaker until to-morrow afternoon. He 1s in fine health and buoyant spirits, and said he felt better and stronger after his six months’ rest than for years before. He expressed great confdence ina republican triumph in 1872, though he expected the canvass would be exciting and sharpiy contested, In his opinion the democracy were least dangerous when most confident; but most to be feared wien adversity has chastived them into prudence. Their many defeats tuis year Would teach tie aemocracy cantion as to the canvass, its issues and its mau- agement. But, with republican unity and wise legislation this winter, our patty have it within their Power to command and ‘0 achieve success against all possibie oppositions and combinations, and he said that he should sapport their nominees as zeal- ously as he had during the whole lifetime of te arty. y In response to a question as to the Presidency he said he could only repeat what he had often and so frankly declared, that his fist choice over all other ber } candidates tor the republican nomination, as well as for re-election, was General Grant He remarked that the near rejatious be- tween the President. and himself had been from the outset cordial and unbroken, in spite of would-be mischie(-makers, and he rejoiced that no discords in the party coula be traced to any dif- ference between them. He did not suppose that the administration had been free from mistakes, for he knew he had made many himself duriug tts pub- ite Ile, and had never known a President, Congress man, editor or citizen who was infaiiibie, Presi- dent Lincoln had made many misiakes, as ne had often frankly acknowledgcd, and despite the per. sonal criticisms on President Grant, wiich have been so persistent and often so unjust, be believed that five years hence the great beneticent results 01 General Grant's faithiul administration of national affairs will cause 1t to be as proudiy remembered and as widely honored as President Lincoln's is now. The persistent effort to put Mr. Colfax in the position of at least quasi-antagonisin to the renom- ination of President Grant must be our apology for thus presenting the substance of this conversation to our readers, He said, “If you can find any stronger langaage to express my views on this point use it freely,” as he has not and never has had any sympathy with those who would preveut the renom- ination of President Grant, and, mach less, for those who would attempt to defeat pum and the eta party aiter he shall have been renom- ated, THE DEAF MUTES. The Proposed Mission—Interesting Addresses English and “Deaf Mute”—Interenting Exhibition of the Deaf Mute Language. Last night there assembled at St. Ana's church, in Eighteenth street, near Fifth avenue, about 199 deaf mutes and a few of those interested in tieir welfare and education. The object of the meeung was to form ap association to be known as ‘'The Church Mission to Deaf Mutes.” The addrosses, though unintelligtole for the most part to one unao- quainted with the deaf mute language, were of the most Interesting character. After prayer meeting, which began at half-past seven o'clock, the Rey. T. GALLAuDET, Who was dressed in the usual Episcopal vestments, made an address to the deaf-mate portion of the audience, which was fo doubt very eloquent, but also very uninteiligibie to the uneducated speaking portion of the audience, of bis vestments, returned and made an address in pialn Engush, traciag the idea of the education of deaf mutes from its beginning to its present state, The address was Interpreted to the deat mutes by Dr. Peet, of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, Dr. Peet then made @ short Addross, In which he remarked that the deaf mutes who had not the means wherewith to support themselves and wno were necessitated to go to the Almsnouse had no means of com- municating their ideas to those around them, hence the necessity of providing for them @ place where they may be enabied to communicate jong themselves. He was foliowed by Rev. Dr. Montgomery, Who made quite a lengthy speech upon the necessity of providing for the old age of the deat mutes, Jn the course of his speech he remarked that when paying a visit to the Isiana he was struck with the destitution of the deaf mutes, who sat in out-of-the-way places, waiting for their turn to die; they cannot communicate with those around them, aud thus they are isolated from the rest of mankind. In conclusion he ear- nestly recommended the establishmeut of such & mnssion as was proposed. He was succeeded by the Bishop ot the diocese, who bat 7 what had been said. A com- mittee was then appointed to draft a constitution and report at @ meeting to be held at an indefinite lime hence, SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT, At Yonkers, Westchester county, yesterday, a man named Michael O'Donnell attempted to drive a coal cart and team across the Hudson River Rauroad track, when a gravel train backed up, and, stiking the cart, caused him to be thrown under the wheels, One of the unfortunate man’s lower limbs was com- pletely severed, while the other was crushed in such & manner as to require immediate amputation, O’Donne!l_was taken to the Riverside Hospital, wore he was not expected to survive during the ig THE GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI RESIGNED, JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 29, 187%, Governor Alcorn will to-morrow resign his office as Governor, and turn over the Executive office to Lieutenant Governor Powers.
