ee THE NEW CHARTER. a rd Excitement in Albany Over the Pro- posed Amendments. Interviews with Prominent Legislators. MOVEMENTS OF POLITICAL GYMNASTS, Bovernor Tilden and Comptroller Green “Shoulder to Shoulder.” JOHN KELLY’S VIEWS. How Green Serves Himself by Betraying His Friends. nee His Double-Dealing and Ingrati- tude Exposed. % Avpany, April 7, 1875. The conversation consequent on the introduc- ton of a bill thoroughly revolutionizing the local government of the city of New York, has mate- fially increased to-day. The reasons put forth for the action of its movers are numerous and pecu- ar. New York legisiators, particularly of the Tammany stripe, are much exercised as to the Probable future of the enactment. I have talked with many of them to-day, botn Senators and Assemblymen, and their theories are very diverse. Comptroller Green 1s acknowledged by all to be the father of the Dill, and many go so ar as to Say that Governor Tilden‘is in harmony with the Adroit head ol the New York Finance Department, VIEWS OF 4 SENATOR, But why this proposed sweeping revolution in the management of municipal affairs tn New York city? Lasked a New York Senator, to-night, atthe Delavan. *‘Well,”? he answered, “my version is this, that Governor Tilden’s political ambition ts boundiess, He wishes to control the democratic Party, not alone in the State, but im tne city. Tammany Hall ts running to destruction under Its present management, and strong evidences of an open revolt and disorganization are ap- parent. It has been as mach as Jono ‘Kelly could accomplish this session, to keep the Tammany members irom kicking in the traces, They feel that they bave peen injured, particularly im the matter of patronage. The rule inaugurated by Mr. Kelly in the farming out of small places among the committees and retaining the important positions for particuiar friends, has given mortal offence to membérs of tie Legislature, and also to the ward leaders, ‘Lhe principle of centraiization is clearly apparent, and the one man power thus in- gugurated by Mr, Kelly is certain to react in dis- ruption.” “Is Governor Tilden, do you think, at issue with Mr. Kelly on the question of the management of the party in New York city?” Well, I think,” responded the Senator, “that Mr. Tuden does not at all approve the course events have taken in Tammany Hall since he came to Albany.” “Waoat do you suppoze are the principal grounds for charges of mismanagement ?” “I would suggest the appointment of Fitz Jonn Porter; the uuseemy haste to pu: through the Costigan bill; tne generat selection of bosom friends for important offices and otner xindred Matters.” e TILDEN AND GREEY SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, ‘This was the general current of discussion here to-day. Fron conversations witn other genti menIsm ‘urther impressed with the 1aea that Governor Tiiden and Comptroller Green are shoul- Gerto shoulder in the contest. I am informed that tne Governor nas every confidence in the Comptroiler, and 1s willing to assume any rdlene considers right im order to advance the interest Of bis iriend. Whatever poittical power Green at. tains, it is presumed, willve exercised im the channel most advantageous to the ambitions of Ris iriend, Samuel J, Tiluen. WHAT THE FIGHT MEANS. In my opinion, then, the present bill narrows Mself down toa positive fight jor the control of Tammany Halil and tts patronage between Gover- Bor Tildeo and Comptrojier Green on 1 one side, and Jobn Kelly and Mayor’ Wickham on tne Other, Many enemies of Mr. Kelly have cropped up here within tbe past twenty-iour hours. Chances of success bring the weak-kneea and flouvitog to the side from which such indications flow, Politicians in Aloany whom 1 bave heard again and again denoince Green to-day veer around and begin to praise him—*‘I told you so,” “1 was always bis iriend,” “He is th ‘ewdest poutician in the State.” These are among the Many expressions of approbation uttered arvuod Albany to-night, “Way,” said one of these political gymnasts in my bearing, “Jonn Kelly bas snown tutal incapacity in directing Tammany a@airs, though he has such a poweriul leverage of organization in bls hanas, Wuoen he picks out LE. 0, Gaie, Thomas Boere, Patrick Fair- fax. McLoughlin and a host of others tor the best positions, and passed by gentlemen who bave Jouvht the battles of democracy tor years, be must fertainly have littie conception of his duties, 1 know it tobe a fact that he went downto New York aud tendered the position of Vommissioner of Padlic Works to General Fitz John Porte Simply because he (elt that such @ nominee would be constrained to do bis bidding.” Thus goes the FOseip among statesmen assembled lo parior and Ddedroom caucus to-night, I give it for woatit is worth. HUSTED'S TACTICS. The chances jor the passage of the bill in Senate and Assemuly may be now iairly canvassed. Ute bas been introduced jor the purpose of tompeliing convession to Andrew H. Green, % js certainly an adroit movement, The is Qusn of victory is aiways tie Bostinspiritiug, Mr. Husted’s tactics in taking iway the bill from the consideration of the Com- Dittee ou Uities and referring it to the Committee M toe Whole was a master stroke. Of course th sould uot ve vone without considerable engin jug beloneband, Toe wily Charlies A, Swan had Deen to work. The repubiicans, under Hus jed’s leadership and they voted jor the Proposition in @ body; but they were 4 minority, The democrats im favor of sho measure, and many of whom recorded tneir voves on the preiiminary fight, are Messra, Berry, Broas, Brown, Cleary, Ely, Fish, Cooke, Holmes, Lawrence, Mackin, J. W. Miller, Shattues, seua- fer, Whitbeck and Warts. It is claimed that there are seven more itom the same side of the uuse ready (o support the measure, THE PROPOSED CHARTER.

INTERVIEW WITH JOHN KELLY. The announcement that a bill had been intro- duced inthe State Assembly having Jor its aim certain radical amendments to the present city charter excited considerable surprise among the city politicians, Toe fact that the bill, fathered by the memver from Orange, had been referred to the Committee of the Whole, instead of the stand- ing one on cities, was deemed a sigu of great dan* ger by the timia; but others more conversant with the method usually obtaining at Albany seemed to view the matrer philosophically. Stilt the adroit manner in which we bill had been suddenly sprung upon the Assembly and the remarsable reference made of it through political combina- tions made the subject a serious one in the minds of all. A HERALD representative called last evening at the residence of Mr. John Kelly, and finding nim i, said:— 1 called, Mr. Kelly, to have a talk with you Telative to tue action of the Assembly on the bili introduced by Mr. Miller, of Orange, and seut to the Committee of the Whole by a tombination, ay you, no doubt, are aware, of the republicans and nineteen democra' 1 would like to obtain your opinion as to the motives of the men wuo Were at the bottom of this combination ? Mr. KELLY—Well, | bave heara it rumored that there was such & bill in existence jor tbe last month, and yet J could hardiy velieve tnat Green would go tuto a comoination with men who have during the past two years veen his bitterest oppo- nents, und no member of toe Legislature worked harder or more earvestly to TURN GREEN OUT OF OFFICE than those very persons who he ts now acting and co-operating With, Jt 1s stillstranger, too, alter tue wany professions that Green nas made, time alter ume, as to the necessity of having gvod | legisiation for tals city, and that our city govern- | ment should be properiy regulated, that he | suould attempt now to usurp the whole power of the government within himself, Ani you | cau vive bo other construction to the subject | as the vill Makes him the absolute dictator as to What should be done im our city vovernmeut Even if he does accomplish the task he has uoder- taken, whicu I believe to be au impossibility, 16 would lessen Dim very much, 1 thiuk, in che esti- mation of those with Wnom he Kas stood hitherto On the most iriendly and appreciable terms.

Mr. KELLY—Yes, perhaps he did, It was to thwart any s eps that migot be taken in that di- rection, But you Cam readily see if such a@ bill shou.d pass, Waich 13 impossibie, tt would make the Mayor of thik city siupiy a clerk, with the bower 01 our municipal goverument con- cel fed in the Finance Department.

I declined the offer on the ground tuat i could hardly conceive that a person to whom I had rendered such signal service could be guilty of suca base mgratituae, and I can’t briug myself to believe to the present day that Green Was really guilty of any such thing. If he was i never waut to ve made certain ot the fact, as it wouid operate on my mind to such an extent that lt Would make me douptiul of the sincerity of my neares¢ aud dearest irieuds, lor my irendsbip jor Green was entirely unselfish, He never rendered me a service in his lile beyond the giving of some trifing oifice to some needy person, and the persons who received the favors could Hardly be said to be men who had any polit. ical influence, my motives in securing them places bemg siunply charitabie, On the other nand, 1 have rendered very muny important services ‘to Mr, Green, and sometimes mourrea the censure of my {ricnas lor so doing.

JOHN” “COPPER LOSES A SUBJECT. Aubunn, N. Y., April 7, 1875, The exit of James H. Ingersoll from the Stat Prison at this place was #0 quietly effected om Monday evening that even the early risers of Au burn were not outof bed in time to witness hia departure. Even Warden Carpeoter was not ape prised of the fact that Governor Tilden had par doned the chairmaker of the ‘Ring’? till withio an hour or two of his r se, and only the few persons who keep late pours in Auborn learned the interesting news of his release beford he had gone far out of signt of “Copper John,” the bronze deity that keeps watch and ward over the convict walls, The story has an unusual interest, because his departure was so quietly managed that the pardoned man escaped even the eyes of the curious, and nobody knew for a time whether he had gone East or West or was still in the city. PREPARATIONS FOR THE RELEASE. The preparations had all been mude in advance, so that the prisoner was dressed and ready when the precious document which made him a free man was placed in the Warden’s hands, Inger soil’s father, Mr. Loren Ingersoll, arrived here on Monday morning in anticipation of the event. He was at the Osborn House during the day aad in the evening, about the time when the traiu from Albany was due, he went to the prison and apprised Warden Carpenter of the fact that he expected the pardon of his son to reacn here by the twenty-five minutes past nine train, askin, atthe same time, whether ms release could be effected at once if the document came to han, Mr. Carpenter agreed to order his discharge at once if the authority was recetved during the evening. In anticipation of its arrival he also gra- ciously permitted Mr. Ingersoll to see his son, and the young man exchazged his prison garb for tue plain suit of dark clothes whtch the father had brought with him, even before the evidence of tne pardon was in the possession of the Warden, ARRIVAL OF THE PARDON, Owing todelays to travel occasioned by ice os the Hudson River Railroad, whereby the train trom New York was compelled to come onthe Harlem track to Albany, it was nearly two hours jate. About eleven o’ciock it reachea here, how ever, and Ingersoll’s counsel, Mr. Moses Eiy, bear: ing the document with the Governor's sigaature that meant liberty for the prisoner, arrived at tne prison, Mr. Ely was accompanied by two of in: gersoil’s Irtends, Mr. W. P. Styrues, o1 New York, and ELdward Johnson, of Albany, and the wool party quit the prison together, going at once i¢ tne Osvorn House, where they remuined till morn: ing. ‘s THE SCENE IN THE PRISON, when the fatuer met his conyvies som and &gn- nounced the exciting news, 1s descrived as quite attecting by those who witnessed it.

He further thanked tue Warden Jor having put him upon a contract when he first came to the prison, saying be stoula ever feel grateiul on that account. lo this respect his prison history was very exemplary.

His gratitude ior the iavor of being permitted to earn his prisun bread by the sweat o1 his brow, Whlie vuudreds of others are idle, is not ready apparent; but when it is remembered that a maa in Ingersoli’s position would umidly snrink from the observation of visirors bis motive becomes Dian enough.
