Bat rha, paper sre''s us with an item Of
news-wlich appeared on tie FRS page oi
our last weeks pafcr-rela'ire TO the SUI
reriIteudcnt Of Put'ic Grounds, Harris
tu,., which We merely cqp'el from 'he
IEif,hiap of q preceding issue. 1t np'
pearei Oh the iRsids Of the Mitonian,
among the distinct editorial items, unde!
the editorial head, i we mistake not A
pr, Of the article appeared in a subse-
qrcnt Chronicle, not credited, but not
nmoug ttc editorial or original matter.
The TcIcyroph copies it, and deliberately
credits it to the Ls,risburg Chronicle in
etcad Of the .Kitonian, to whom the credit
belongs.
We published it merely as an expression
Of public opinion, without intending to
endorse or condemn it. 1t is true, we have
on Old friendship for Mr.. MuLLrN, the
present officer, having long known him
as faithful officer, whc, though infirm In
health, was visilant, night and day, in
looking out for the interests Of the Com
mouweallh who did much in curbing the
boys and driving away the loose women
Who infested Capitol Hill aud We know
be long suffered from illness caused by
tho Mexican War. This much We say
for one with whom We once roomed,
and whose course We knew Intimately.
But if the public good requires change
or, if be docs not necd it, and others as
competent and truly desire tive would
not urge his re.appointment. We have
TO know.edge Of his politics; aud if we
had, 10 this as in some other Offices, that
would be a secondary consideration. We
wish the Telegraph to copy this e1p!apa-
tion, IS We do not desire TO appear 50
prominently iu the contest as the 7ele-
graphs credit would present us.-The
Telegraph says the Incumbent has become
enriched in tie cfice. II it be very lu-
cra,ive ofice, We should say thc Lcgisla-
ture had better reduce TIE salary, and not
permit it to become Q post of such strong
co::'e, n1as as ii uouid appear to lie.

The Comptroller Of the City is the most
important officer in its Government. For
this Office, the regular Tammany Demo-
cratic Buchanan party put up one George
0T@f, bOtOilVusg
Ipfiel, fit representative of the cGscOur-
ing of all mankind, and the choice of
those who had rioted upon the City Treas
ury. A portion Of the most respectable
of those clinging to the namc Democracy,
bol,ed against Purscr and nominated Mr..
Russell. The Republicans and Americans
took mp ROBERT T. HAws, a man every
way fit and trustworthy. The returns
give HAws handsome majority over BOTH

Fur Governor Of the Almshousc, the
Republicans nominated highly respecta-
