We have had quite an exciting time Of 1t this
forenoon. in ASSEMBLY. owing 10 c bonb-shel OF
rs.tion presented BY Mr. Speaker HAsBRoUoE. re-
curing the House to impeach your District Attor-
new. Mr.. JoHS McKroS. for an alleged corrupt neg
let of his Official duty in not arrestng. araigning
and irving Hon. MICHAEL WALSH one OF the II
Taumsny representatives Of our great commercial
metropolis who had been indicted at the instance
Of the petitioner Mr. HIRAM p. HASTINGS. 8 Tam
many Reiormer Counsellor al Law. and very IN
successful candidate for popular hOnors as the author
Of libel directed against said HASTINGS in The sub
terrarean in which he is called grsceisss wretch.
spuugar about Tammany. who had been powered
with aour. tossed, booted, sc.
A Counsellor Of long standing who IS a tired
Tsmmany Reformer ought 10 have had enough Of
philosophy 10 receive this elecuoneering bono from
MrSE paper arory and then light his cigar with II
LAWYERS are represented being like scissors good a.
cutting what's between them-out poor Mr.. HASTINGS
feels The Su5fsT1Hsdn wound and tells everybody how
influential MIKE" ia, declaring on his oath before
grand Jury that his (MryEs) three cent paper had
played havoc with his (HRANs) well established rep
uistion Nay more he actually seeks the impeachment
of bis more fortunate brother bsrrstcr now in office
because he does proceed fast enough as be thinks
In bringing 10 the bar as an offender whom l00oO
10 10000 citizens OF NewYork have just sent to Albany
10 act their attorney. without Judicial license in
filing up and completing the great outline OF the new
Constitution.
Lawyer HASTINGS. in his petition shows that
he had provoked and grossly insulted Mr. WALSH and
the present Newiork delegation. by publishing letter
in the ErHirR Post telling the public that he had con
deuned in strong terms the ticket proposed BY the
Tammany Hall Committee. utterly unworthy 10
represent the city OF NewYork, and DIsoRAcEFUI
~ TO the Democratic party and that be deemed
it the duty OF the p DECENT PORTION OF the party
their efforts TO reject the very men whom the
people have since elected. Nike fred squib vciy
much in character reply and then HASTINGS cried
peccavi and took refuge in the legal tribunal OF the
Archon down al the Tombs
Being high Tammany authority a counsellor
SC &c. think a few extracts from his petition will BE-
edying your readers He very much agrees with the
energetic editor of the Sub,eranesn 20 the quality of
Loco Foslusce az New York Dating of course their
personal cuities) and more than endorses the opin
ions Of Mr-and Mrs b. r. BUTLER Mr. JEssE HoyT. and
other iamdeliafe Democrats Of the OLD school," on
that subject
He tells the Legislature that Official corruption in
criminal prosecutions in New ork has been so frequent
% become proverbialH
That Hon MICHAEL wALsHs sickness only
a pretence-thst he has been I'VE times convicted OF
li6es published in the Subierrsnean been sentenced 20
the Peneniary for assaults &c and Vet the good peo
pie have sent him hiiher 20 help 10 draw up impeach
ments that Mr. McKEoNs conduct. IN causing Mr..
warrant unjus,hsble and corrupt-thst his NC
KEoNsl conduct shows a corrupt design 10 favor said
WAIsHn-and gives overwhelming evidence OF his
wiul and corrupt derilecton Of Official duty that
McKrON falsely pretended that WLsHs indictment
was ready for trial. and that he concealed from HAST
INGs that issue had not been joined thereon-hat he did
an this with the corrupt DESIGN AND INTENT % allow
the said WALSH 10 escape punishment for the time,
10 the porversion Of public justice that MchEOS
has the control Of al prosecutions in helocal tribunals
Of the County and such great influence with the
Judges that il Il impossible bring him 20 justice
except By impeachment and that the 10000 citizens Of
New York have shield against criminal aggression
bat corrupt public prosecutor" The petition also
tans a sort of dialoue-MckEoS with HAsTTNGs-
about prison keepers certificate that WALSH dy
ing Of consumption and McREoN's opinion, given to
Governor WRIGHr. that he (WALsFD was not dying
The Memorial was read and Mr.. WALSH de-
scribed HASTINGS as the tool Of a set Of men-of
thngs-in the City more infamous and degraded than
any whom Heaven in its nscrutsble wisdom, had
suffered to curse the earh and wished the petition
be treated with contempt Mr.. STcRLEs said that this
described in a way do not choose TO report. Messrs
BLoDGETr and BAscoN proposed to give petition EN-.
anatng from member Of the bar, asking for justice
and complaining that Il had been cOrruptly refused
elsewhere an immediate reference 20 the judiciary
Committee aud the House with perfect impartialy,
so referred H. My impression has always been. that
Mr. McKEON was not the bad man corrupt officer he
has been this day described Mr.. WALSH seems to be
quite much Of humor with him - the losing
diiste. Mr. HAsrNGS. =.
