1 “THE WOMICIPAL MEDDLE What the Aldermen Think of Comptrolier Green. DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION. Legislative, Action Decided On by the Leaders. Meeting of the Board of Appor- tionment. * @sually the City Hall is as dull as any Southern @hcb or swamp. But there are occasions when seven frogs in a Muddy swamp wil! become warmed ‘wp by any Outside or irrelevant meddiiug. It was wemeored yesterday morning that a committee of ‘the Board o1 Aldermen were to hold a meeting for the purpose of listening to charges against An- ‘@rew H. Green, who is at this time of writing ‘Comprrolier of the city of New York. THB HARD HANDED MBN OF ATHENS. There were a number of persons who bad worked for their salaries and had not got them standing tm and around the pillars and the gratings of the municipal palace. The teeling was bitter against “@reen, and it was manifested by these people that ‘Were would be grea: satisiaction LU, as they said, “Green was brought to justice.” At five minutes alter one o'clock two members ‘@f the committee—Alderman Henry D. Purroy, who lives in Fordham, and Alderman Billings, who ts @ resident of the Twenty-first ward—entered the municipal chamber, Purroy is a email, active Jeoking man, with a mustache that is sharply trimmed, and, as it were, bitten off. Billings has ® pale loox, and does not secm adverse w a little quiet conspiracy. “CAT LaW COMMITTER—THAT LAW OOMMITTER!” Both of these gentiemen sat down behind the Aldermanic throne, and they consuited together and they looked at each other, and they hesitatea fora few moments and then they looked at each other again. There was a member of the Law Sommittee who were to try the charges wanting. Alderman Judge Shandiey was not present. But Shere was a little haste in the proceedings, The Jadge came into the vestibule of the City Bau at twenty-five minutes past one @ clock, and just before this the Uhafrman, aléerman Purroy, stated to those who had charges and grievances against Andrew H. Green that owtng to the absence of one mem- Ber of the committee, Alderman Shandiey, the ses- sion of the committee would have to be adjournea. Be said that it was necessary that the committee } should be careful and that there should not be any hasty proceedings. The committee was ad- pourned, and the assemblage separated. The Aldermanic room is a convex as you enter, and here were the poor wretched suitors ‘or the money which they had earned, bat which they could not get. Lake Welch, a big, tall, good-hearted fellow, is a ‘messenger to the Boara of Aldermen. “GOOD MAN LUKE.” Said the reporter to Luke, “Are there many people here to present charges against Green to- gay Luke Weich (good naturedly)—“Well, there's a geod many. There’s Charley Deviin, but he’s not #o much in want of money. Charley is a solid man, and he’s not likely to starve. But a man, I suppose, wants to get his money. I have no right to speak in those matters. Mr. Green knows his own business and I know mine. But look at Jerry Crowley. He is & contractor, and tus kind of work is making & beggar o1 him, He can’t get bis ay: aud I con". Anow What it wul do with “THE CONSPIRATORS’ CONVENTION.”? Alderman Purroy came down from the chamber, and heid a consuitation with Alderman Billings. Is was terribiy private. They button-boled each other, and they whisperea and they seemed to be im @ Slight surf of trouble. Still they were not over their necks, At this moment there came mio the long postage of the City Hall Alder- man Edw jnandiey, who said that there ‘ought, in bis opinion, to be a meeung. Alderman Purroy said that the meeting of tne Law Commit. ‘ee nad been heid, but owing to the absence oi one member it had been adjourned, as it was necessary “to be careful.” The Alderman from tue easlero dee-strick’’ said, “Weil, 1’m only fitteen minutes late, and I think ‘we might have it over again. I know how hard it te to waik down Bri Way and to meet people ‘who ask you when Green is golng to pay them. I don’t know whether he’s going to pay them or not; I only Know that they come and talk to me ail the same. I’d iike to see these people paid, and then i'd feel a littie relieved.” “SOMEBODY WAITING FOR THER.” « . There was a jew minutes conversation and then Alderman Purroy and Alderman Bulings @isappeared as if by magic through one door end 4p by another door, and finally they were met-in + the Aldermanic committee room, in which there & very large nd pretentious desk and a good jeal of foolscap paper ‘going loose,” as a West- ‘n hamorist might observe. Alderman Shandiey followed siowiy with nis umbrella and took his seat, Then Alderman Purroy, whoze mnstache is biack and closely ciipped, stated in & business-like and senteniious manner that | fhe committee were about to go into “execu- tive session,” perhaps, that the honorabie committee were outsiae of Sandy Hook, metaphorically speaking. Alderman Shanale, | took it quite easy, and amused bimse.f by looking | at bis umoreila, and the “executive session’ | went on privately, reporters being of course ex- | cluded. jt was finally arranged that toe Law | Committee of the Boara of Aldermen would | meet at one o’clock on next Wednesday, and that aii persons who had charges or grievances, or who were expecting to yet their justly earned claims from Andrew H. Green, were to appear. And alse it was understood tnat the heads of all tne ferent city departments were to be summoned | be present (o testify, and that in the event of the Board of Aldermen not having authority to subpens witnesses, a Jaudze of the Supreme Ovuurt | should be asked to grant the autuority to summon | ‘Witnesses to testily. | “ONE OF CARLYLE’S Boys”? Daring the afternoon tue Aldermen nad assem- woich meant, bled to o and converse in the City Hall. Alder- wan Ly t 18 quite a hanusome brunette, and is | consideruoly taller in stature than James Hayes, whom ne resemuvies to a great extent. Lue gentie- | man from the Finance Committee did not seem at | all annoyed by the commouon about Green. He spoke briefly:— | can’t see why you are all afraid of this man | Green, If you are so mucn afraid of him and he is such @ great engineer | tuink that! might begin te admire him myself.” At this juncture an old woman came up who had robably Some claim against Green. She was poor king and miseradie, ud oad evideutiy wantea joed, and ler, utterance was tue utterance of sunger. “When will he pay me what he owes me. I | think that he is the Hari of Helli—Green, to keep | starving.” Said Aiderman Lysaght, turning away from thia | poor woman, | “He's nothing more or less than a finely edu- | j | roman.” The next Alderman that was visible wea Alder- | mao Joon Reilly, This genutieman is always in | jood humor, anda bever seems to be atiaait. He | asa large and villanous, formidable stick in bis fs hand, ana he was swinging it to and fro. «Phe otoer night | was up at Union square,” sad the bumorous Alderman, “and | heard 4 man talk. He said that Andrew H. Green used Tilden as | @ kind of & pocket pistol. Sometimes the pocket pistol iden) was in the side trousers of Green, and that was when Green was Dass any ects Wiatever, Here is the Aldermanic | meet them committee appointed by resolution (o ‘Investigate any chargea “nat may be against Mr. Green, I don’t know that Mr, Green 1s disuonest, but if be is Incapab¥s that is suMcient.

Aldermap deery sai “Tue people are anxious to see a change, Dut it is necessary, in order to remove Greew, that charges snould be preferred properly and that } tuey should be properly sustatued. Tne Board is almost @ unit against him and he is without imends, I Dave heard Alderman Giion mentioned as betng @ iriend o) big, but ii he ia there 18 not one other member of the Board of Aldermen iriendiy to Andrew H.

McCarthy is the Coester- field of the Board; is aiso a contractor, or waa, aud is @ blond, with mustache and goatee. He does not seem to make much noise; but, though he came all the way irom Yorkville, it is evident that he ‘keeps up a devil o1 a thinking.” He remarked after | conclading @ conversalion with some ends: “I have a Just and honest claim against the city for contract work done in my business, Mind you, there was not any alspute about the justness or correctness of my bili, and yet I was over two years—having sued for wirty per cent of the bill, Which wouid be $31,000—ve/ore I recovered it, and then to recover it cost the city of New York be- tween $4,000 and $5,000.

We ail want to get paid for our work—all of us,” A DEMOCRATIC CONCLAVE. THE NEW YORK ASSEMBLYMEN TAKE SIDES ON THE COSTIGAN, THE BERGH AND THE MID- LAND BILLS—BERGH’S MEASURE TO BE KILLED. The Tammany Hall Committee on Organization met last night, John Kelly in the chair. This com- mittee 1s generally supposed to be constituted ex- clusively of members of the General Committee, who, as “organizers,” represent all the Assembly districts, This is anerror. The sessions of the committee, though closed to the non-professional politician, are open to all those gentlemen who occupy oficial station under State or city appoint- ment. It was probably owing to this fact that Speacer McGuire, of the Assembly, was present at the meeting of tne committee yestérday. General Matters of interest to the various districts were as usual considered pro forma; but the main points of interest of the meeting were the Bergh Child bill, the Costigan bill and the Midiand Rail- road bill It was conceded during the meeting that the Costigan bill would be pusned through tne Lower House despite the fact that the bili’s champion in the House was not equal to the occaston as a par- Namentarian. *“ ‘Rush things;’ that must be our motto,” said one of the Assembiymwen in referring to the bil. ‘The principal speakers were Assemblymen Daly, Waebner, Brogan and T. J. Campbell. and all advocated the speedy passage of we vill without gtving @ thought as to what the Senate might do about the matter. “I Know very weli,’? said Mr. Daly, “that there 1s a good deal of talk about the ‘kicking’ of some of the country mem- bers, but what ia FAIR DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE in the city is tair witu the country members. They know that we mean to carry out in the passage me this bi thorough home rule, and they wili stana ry US. Mr. Waehner and mr. T. J. Campbell acquiesced in these views,’ A general discussion then ensuead as to the amendments that had been mentioned at Aloany 1D connection with the bill, such as tue abolishing of the minority representation, but the sentiment Of ail the members present being evidently againat cumbering the bil with any amendments, it was finally decided that tue city delegation should stand solid Jor the bill in the snape in which it was reported to the Assemb.y on the order of third reading ol bills last Wedmesday. A DIFFICULT SITUATION. The Midland Ratiroad bul was also discussed daring the meeting, and, without passing any — resolution, tt was determined that the delegation should jollow their own judgment in voting upon | the measure. Mr. Daly, it may be said, contended that as the Sate had pledged its good faith it | Should be kept, no matter What prejudices might | be draggea up against it. BERGH’S BABY BILL Was the occasion of a very excicing discussion, ther, general speech-making; 10r the seati- 1 all the Agsemblymen aud the leaders present was agamst the bill. Wachner in an es- pecial manner wus dead set against it, not only on coustitutionul grounds, but on the ground that the viii was so lramed that no reformatory was ooliged to receive “neglected” children even after they were legally “cuptured” iu due accordance with tue law. Speaker McGuire, py invitation, gave bis views on the proposed law. His argumeut was condnued to the constitutional aspects o/ the question and the dangerous powers, even if the bili was cons'F tational, which Mr. Bergh and those wno thougut aa he dia in regard voit could arrogate to tiem- selves. He said it ought-to be deieated. THE CAMPAIGN, Bes: Meeting finally adjourned with this con- claston + First—That the Costigan bill should receive the Solid support, as it now stands, of tue democratic members Jrou this city. Second—That the Midland bill was not a party measure, but that as it was a measure to which the State bad pledged its faith ali the democratic members ought easily to be able to decide ‘or tnem- selves (or or against it. There was a strong Ieel- ing manifested, it may oe said, by a majority of the members to support the bill when it was taken from the table. Third—Twat the Bergh bill should be voted against vy the solid vote of the delegation. A SIGN OF DANGER It may be said that just, belore the committee adjourned @ statement Was made to the effect that a combination had been made by which the Costigan Dlil would ve defeated im vue Assembiy by the “delection” of fifteen country memoers, This statement was pooti-poohed, but for aii that created @ great deal of uneasiness, THE BOARD: OF APPORTIONMENT. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND THE CITY DEBT— IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE BOARD., The Board of Apportionment met yesterday ah ternoon, the President of the Board, Mayor Wick- ham, in the chair. The following communication from the Comptroller was read:— Hon. Wietiam H. Wiexuam, Mayor :— Bi chapter 969 Laws of 1865, and ufc. Then again the pocket pistol (fuden) ‘was moved by Green to is rear pistol pocket, and | ‘that Was the time when Green watted to threaten , travellers, Then the pistol (Tilden) was pulled | upon the unoffending citizen and he was, of | course, compelied to surrender.’ RICHELIEU REVIVES.” William %. Cole, who lives away up town and is of ® quiet and rather politic nature, and no very japie to say anything withous having a rea- #on for it said of Green. “You know, my dear fellow, that peonle w: taik and they are liable to talk about every on J hear 4 good deal of taik about Green, and [ dun’s ‘now what to say about bim. 1 think be ts pur. | suing ® Wrong course, and yet at the same time | J hear & good many charges spoken of that are | mot prejerred.

Whathe had contended was that the “improvement” resoiutions passed by the Board were not petittoued for, Mr, LEWIs—Not petitioned for tn writin; supposition is when an Alderman introduc ordinance or @ resolution authorizing a street opening, &c., that the taxpayers in his district have asked fur tt. The COMPTROLLER—It’s @ poor way to carry on the city government by suppositions, The Mayor—The charter gives the heads of de- purtments the right to be present to take part in any debate as to their particular depariment affairs. If the Comptroller had avuiled himself of that right he could have easily ovtaloed all the in- formation during the seasi of tue Board of Al- dermen that he asked for in bis resolution some tume ago. The CoMPTROLLER—I! the Mayor were thoroughly acquainted with the duties of the Comptrotier be Would easily understand how impracticabie it is for the Comptroller to attend the mectings of the Board of Aldermen. However, it may be proper that he should be advised as to what his duiies are iu that respect. ‘fhe MayoR—The Comptroller, as head of the Finance Department, ought not to need any advice ‘as to his oficial dues, The Derury REGISTER made an application for ‘an appropriation of money for tne copying of maps, Which was laid over; a8 Was aiso the appll- cation of tne Coroner of Westchester county ior money alleged to pe due him. 7 The Board, at this stage of the proceedings, ad- journed to meet again at two P.
