! THE POLITICIANS ——————_ 'The Democratic Micawbers Getting Impatient. THE GENERAL OUTLOOK. Governor Tilden and Mayor Wickham to Aet in Harmony. GREEN’S LAST CARD. The Proposed Charter Amendments and Their Probable Effect. ‘The local politicians are in bigh dudgeon over the general situation of affairs, and the impatient patriots who fee! sure in their heart of hearts that their important services during the late campaign cannot be overlooked by the Mayor, and that, asa consequence, they are, one and all, booked in his mind for some good fat oflce where the work will be easy and the pay disproportionately large, are already beginning to show. signs of marked dis- Pleasure. What has added to the discontent of the office-seekers generally and their thousand and one followers in particular who are in dead | earnest about getting work ana are willing to Work hard and well during the M they can get it, is the impression which seems to be settling down upon mo changes whatever will be made in any of the departments until every effort has been made, by means of Albany legislation, to accom- Piish what it was the opinion of most people a | certain reasonable time for the Costigan bill to | Pass, With the view of sparipg the Governor the month ago would be done by the Mayor and Gov- ernor during the first fortnigot of the new admin- istration. I! the cowardly poticy of getting rid of the republican oMfive-holders who are UNDERLINED FOR EXECUTION, by legislative tinkering with the charter, can be made successful, in the opinion of some of the local leaders it would ve a far better way of ring- ing out the old and ringing in the new than for the Mayor to rais2 up for himself in the future bit- ter enemies in tis own political household, as he wonld, they say, certainly do if he went for the scalps of the republican Commissioners with nis great “for cause” tomahawk. Be this as it may, what the rank and file seem to be troub- ling themselves about is the prospect of a “speedy”? change. They claim, and witha good wbow of solid reason, that any attempt by Albany legislation to oust toe men from office in this city who are inimicai to the true democratic policy, even if the strongest guarantees of final triumph are made beforehand by a sufficient nuntber of republican Senators, mnat be at best a very un- satisfactory one; for, they add, even while there might be every prospect of such a measure as the Gross bill becoming o law, yet its passage in the winter | them that | Ln. | Senate, for reasons which people can readily un- | Gerstand who know anything about Albany “L0G ROLLING,” and why Senators, who do not expect to be re- elected next November, will not be ready to vote “all righv’ so early in the session, may be deferred ‘DBnti] the very last week of the session, As, un- Ger the new constitutional amendments, there is no limit to the session of the Legislature, and $1,500 will goa great way with men who have managed heretofore to keep the legislative ball rolling for upward of four months for $300, it will be readuy seen that if dependence for a change in the commissions in the city be placed alone on Albany legislation the chances are ten to one that , ‘where must be a long and a weary waiting in store for those worthy gentlemen who want to be compen- sated jor valuable services rendered to the party. | Still, altbough tt cannot be denied that some of the leaders hope that the Gross or Costigan bill (the two bills are identical) will be passed some time during the next fortnight, there are many who think that the Mayor should not allow the Probable fate of. the measure to swerve nim from exercising the power he now has, in conjunction | with the Governor, of removing any oMcer who, 1p 418 opinion, ought not to be retained in the city government. Whether or not the assertion of some of the politicians is true, that the real cause of THE MAYOR'S DELAY im making a change where changes have been so long anticipated, is a desire on his part to know to a dead certainty what charm there is by Albany legislation to escape certain little personal diMculties which some people say are now in the ‘Way ofa bold policy on his part, none but \ Wickham can definitely answer. It 1s known, at any rate, that he is heartily in favor of the Cos- tigan bill, and, despite certain rumors to the con- trary that once prevailed during the week, it is wale to assert that it also has the warm support of the Governor. Up to the present time the friends Of he bill in this city have done nothing farther to advocate its passage than to advise the New York and other democratic members to vote for it; but not so with its opponents, the prin- Rion one of whom 1s Comptroller Green. Tis in- dividual is prevented by the Mayor's circular order from going to Albany io lobby for Bimeelf; but during the past week he has bad three men at the State capital ‘who have been working upon the “sympatnies’’ Of some of the republican Senators, and who will continue #0 to work until the fate of the measure has been setticd in some way. (ne of these three lobpyists 18 said to be under the guidance of Abe Van Vechten, and his special function it will be, while at Albany, to receive the confidential com munications from his chief and a certain party in town nere, who lucratively compines the talent of AN OLD TIME LOBBYIST with the trickery of a committee lawyer. The third party in employé of this city, and draws a good round salary for services which he is sup- to rencer for it, Green has found out at last that bis little dodge to deter Mr. Wickham, whom Re knows is slowly but surely making ready to ive bim t! ‘grand bounce,’’ as the b’hoys Lave it, (rom removing him, and which was the indus. trious circulation of a story to the effect that the Governor had promised vo and by him as against the Mayor, old water no longer. Goveruvor Tilden and Joon Keliy iast Monday, before the !atter started on his return for Albany, had a long inter. View, and before it was bronght to a close, eve Mr. Keily bad at any time before put faith in Green’s canard, his mind was thoroughly disa- d ofit. The fact is that Mr. Tilden stated that this necessity, he felt thatit would not doto oO dismiss democrats to make way for repuv- itcans; but he did what he thinks willin tue end serve him just a8 well as it he had dismissed them. His reduction order was made to apply simply to TAMMANY DEMOCRATS, and the fifteen per cent reduction affects every ‘Tammany man Who is known tobe a strong Kelly man, Even Colonel fom Dunlap, the city ‘Treas- urer, has been made @ victim, Not one Of the nundred and odd republicans under the depart- ment have been reduced a copper. By this sud- den show of bands Green has in a manner de- clared war upon fammany aud bas given Kelly and his iriends to understand that the Tan.- many men in his employ most, if they want to stay, live on starvation wages or get out of the way to make room for repubdlicaus who will get paid at the old rates, while the republican Sena- tora are to rejoice 1D the jact that so long as they do as they are told their friends now in office will continue to live in clover with good prospects of the field being enlarged for more of tue same brood, even if a inrther reduction of the Tammany men’s salaries is necessary to make this thing certain, But Mr. Gree licans as well a8 democrats who are well informed as to the outlook, and believe that bis lobby- ing by proxy at pag a as well as this attempt of hig to bolster up bis janing tortunes 0; patron- age bribery of Senators, will oniy basten his re- | } moval; for, shou!d the bill which is meant to carry | out the Governor’s views as to ‘home rule,” as expressed :n is Message, be uefeated by the Comp- trojier’s lobbying, the Mayor will not hesitate the very next day to remove him from ofice, and the Governor would, it is thought, only be too glad to approve the removal. 1t should not be taken jor granted, however, that THE FATE OF THE COMPTROLLER will fepend exclusively upon the fate ot the Costi- gan bil, and that u the passage of the bill be post- poned to the end of the session nis lease of ofictal lue will be projonged to that time. By no means. It is more than probable that Mr. Green will be ousted, Alvany Legisiature or none, before the latter end of next month, unless some devel- opment in his case, now unforeseen, turns up to | postpone the event; for some of Lhe leagers con- tend that if by that time’ some bill giving the Mayor the power to remove city officials without the Governor’s approval is not passed suey wall let the matter drop entirely. And just here tt may be mentioned that the passage of such @ bill would release Mr. Tilden irom the necessity he would be under if the Mayor removed Greeu—now that it is beyond dispute that he would not refuse his ap- saw fitto remove—ol indorsing the Mayor's cer- Uficate, This may in @ great measure, some people think, account for the Mayor’s delay; for, say they, if he knows the vernor will not refuse his approval of Green’s removal the only reason io can have tor hesitating so long must ve to allow a Necessity of signing the death warrant of an old | protégé, lor whom he may have a personal liking, but who, he feels, stands in the way of periect | harmony in the working ol the city government. Meauwhue the Fire Commissioners, HOPING AGAINST HOPE, against whom cuarges were preferred as long ago as last December; the Corporation Counsel, who sent in his defenée to the charges Made against him early in the month, and the Police Com missioners, who have been booked for re- moval for nearly @ month, and all the other office-holders, good, bad and Indifferent, who know that they must, sooner or later, give way to other, if not better, men, are hoping against Rope that nothing will be done by the Mayor until the Legislature has settled the AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER, and that these amendments, if adopted at all, will not be adopted jor montis to come. But Mr. Wickham, as bas been intimated, may astonish some o! even the most hopetui ones in a very short tume, Said he to a gentleman, the other day, who Jocosely asked what time next -winter the Fire Commissioners’ case would be decided, “What is the use of doing things by piecemeal?” Who knows, then, but when the next change is made but that it will be a general change all along the line? A thunder storm is more startitng in its eflects thau an ordinary shower any day. MAYOR WICKHAM’S APPOINTMENTS. To THE EpITOR oF THE HERALD:— The opinion expressed by some of the city papers that Mayor Wickham intends to make his administration @ partisan one is a gratuitous assumption. the municipal departments is suM@ctent to prove that there is no good ground for any such asser- tion. Mayor Wickham has been a month in office, and the city government, ao far as thé heads of de- partments are concerned, is thus composed :— asatnen: in office by the republican Legislature Of 1873:— Andrew H. Green, Comptroller, anti-Tammany. a KE. Delafield Smita, Corporation Cuunsel, repub- can. George M. Van Nort, Commissioner of Public Works, repubiican.

He adued that he nad not made pledges to any official as to what action he should take in case of his removal by the Mayor, deeming that such a course would ve un- dignified. Mr. Green ts now satisfied that he can go longer pull the wool over the eyes of the local leagers by the publication of cock-and-vull stories as 'o what a dangerous thing it would be for “the party” ior the Mayor to come in conflict with some reat power behind the Comptrolier’s throne, and Ke now kows (or a certainty that Mr. Key, wiotn he has tried so tard to concillate since bis contemptible attempt to uudermine him as a, leader while outwardly prolessing 'he greatest devotion to him and dix policy for the regenera- tion of the city government, and the Governor are of one mind as to what ought to be Jone to make the various departments a harmonious whole, But COMPIROLLER'’S PETTY SPITB TH has been given a new impetus by the sudden ex- | losion of his last Lope o! dependence upon the jovernor, abd, with the view of hitting at Mr, Kelly and the democrata in the Assembly and Senate who are in favor of the Costigan oill, he on ‘Thursday last issued an order that the galaries of “all the employés”’ under the Finance Department should be cut down irom tweive to Miteen per cent, With bis usual hypocrisy he gave 1 out that the reduction was brought about by the re- fasal of the Board of Apportionment to appropri- ate enough money to carry on tue department wader the old rates. But the facts are It 18 An open secret that Green’s van Senators is atronage he nas eden beu offices under ment, and as he may have soon to make that hold more certain than ever, It is, in Dis opinion, a necesaity to enlarge the domain for the comfortable placing of the iriends of certain Fepadiican Senators whom he once boasted he eld in the hajow of bis aad, Once satuaied of |' Jonn P.

Although the extreme distances and the rules ‘as to weapons and position were new to American marks- | men, the Amateur Kide Club of this city boidly wc- | cepted the challenge. Not only were they almost wholly | inexperienced, but no rifles were then made in America | which could compete, ander the terms of the match, | with those used by the Jrish. But in the brief pertod before the match took place our manufacturers had suc- ceeded in furnishing them with the necessary weapons, and they bad acquired such skill in their use that when the eontest took place at Creedmoor, on September 26, 1874, the team selected from thelr numbers as the rep: resentatives of America were victorious by @ score proviously anparalicled. On the announcement of the restilf another challenge was published behalf of the Irish Team, to shoot a returo match in Dublin, in June next. The ¢xpenses ot the previous match had been heavy and had been borne almost en- tirely by the members of the Amateur Rifle Club, who were comparatively few in number.

The ‘fancy,’ both of Westchester and Long Island, have been on the qui vive for the past two weeks in anticipation of a cocking main, to be fought between Westchester and Long Island biras, The affair has created a great deal of excitement,’ as this main was to decide the championship between the two counties, two battles having been won by each. On Friday night last, at a well known Sporting house in the town of Newtown, there had congregated over two hundred admirers of this sport, ranging from police justices down to hostlers, After some diMcuity a well known Brooklyn “sport? was chosen referee and the fight was commenced. In the first round a red (Westchester) and a black (Long Isiand) were pitted, ae a fierce struggle the black was pierced and avictory declared for Westchester. Long Island won the eignt succeed. ing rounds, amid deafening applause. The tenth, eleventh, fourteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth were won by Westchester, and the remaining of the twenty-seven battles | It is estimated that | over $800 crossed hands, the odds being on West- chester." The last round, which was between two reds, lasted nineteen minutes and thirteen sec- onds, and ended with a victory for Long Island. Officers Brig Fields and Williams, three of Bergh’s men, learned of the main when it was too late; but hearing that a repetition of the affair was to take place at one McGillan’s saloon, corner of Cariton avenue and the Boulevard, Brooklyn, immediately repaired there.
