Constsrnation.-The new corpor alton eff
cials are evidently frightened at the idea Il
attempting to conduct the business they have
undertaken, without previous instruction from
their predecessors. This Is apparent in the
complaint in cur talented and truthful neigh
boris columns yesterday, because Mr.. Robt J
Roche and his assistants failed to remain at
the City Hall to that end. Mr.. Roche
and his assistants we're always careful
to do every thing in the discharge of their
duties fairly Incumbent on them, as all know
who have transacted business with the City
Collectors ofa,e for some years past Being
out Of Office their business was not in the City
Hall, BIZ: elsewhere. Had the successor of Mr..
Roche, or any ono else interested, called On
U
that they should remain to instruct them
or to give them any information wh..ever, it
would doubtless have afforded Thorn (Mr
Roche and his sssistants) pleasure to have
done SO. No such request having been made,
they vent where their own business called
them, when their term Of of6ce was up, like
| sensible men.
