from the Sunday AtIas.l
Mayor Wood has been constant attendant upon the
sttngs Of the Grand Jury for the last two weeks
cocting rascay scheme Of vndctiveness towards
certain members Of the Common Council for whom he
enterains malignant hostility. The Alderman of the
Nineteenth ward is particularly the object of his
vengeance. II rumored yesterday afternoon that
ellis Honor had succeeded in Obtaining bills Of indct
ment against four Aldermen and three Councilman for
'mafeasance in Office Immediately hearing this,
about O'Clock, visited the Office Of the District AT
torney, with view Of ascertaining II the rumor
true and also 10 hear the nature Of the "maleasance
charged but that officer had left for home and could
procure no information the subject. We then went
TO the house OF Mr.. Hail. in Madison avenue where
were informed that he had left town. and would not be at
home till IL or O'Clock, midnight. We made dilgent
inquiries in other quarters but could find one who
could give n particle Of information. If have
been indicted, told we are but stand upon
the platform with the Mayor and Recorder and
persuaded that shall be able to exonefate
reputation quite fully they have theirs. Not being
informed of the nature of the charge against u.s.
not, of course, fully explain position, but
respectfully ask friends to suspend judgment in
until we be heard in defence II is probable
that contemporaries better informed in relation to
this movement than are but used every exerton
20 obtain the particulars, and regret that met With
no better Our readers WILL therefore, be
PEELED to wait till next week but friends need be
under apprehensons that we are involved in any diff
fcutes from which cannot exricate ourselves with
