BLAokx,irrSs TsE MAAKETNES.-Soon sfter Mr.
Irving was appointed Superintendent OF Markets
under City Inspector Delavsr, the msketmen in
Washington Market were quito sundry incouveaisnce'
srd in some instances deprived of their s.,s One OF
the ousted wss waited upon by person named Good
heart, who represented that he had inf:enc with
TIE Superintendent. ard for consideration would
see tEat the sts wa. restored. The consideration
$,G-wn PAID to Goodhe.-t, and the marketmAn re-
Installed This soit OF thing went on 20 sulA an out
rsgeous pitch that the maIketmen a. length combined
TO resist the backmailers, and spilled to Mayor Tie
msnr for redress The Msyor investigated the INST
ter, ard compelled Goodheart-who, II seems, thea
he'd no Position under the City Govern nen,, hav
ing some time since been deposed from the Super
intendency Of Rosds-to Gsgorge. When we ep-
Piled to the Mayor for the afitayts, he assured
us that the above the facts; tnst nothing
could be shown against Irving, ard that he would
not give the afidavits to THE TRIBUNE, az We would
be sure TO nsrepresent and make improper use OF
them. This was the second refusal OF the Mayor to
SLOW Us to the afidavts. 1t appears that these
black mail operations have recently been revived with
so much audaciy tia, the Mayor obliged TO take
cogn;zsrce Of aud give publicity to the matter The
ibvests siion began on Monday; but when our re-
porter, who had heard ruinors of what going CD,
called upon the City Inspector for Information, taa.
officer, in whose department the Superintendent of
Markets is instead OF giving him the facts, gave him
totally different case, of very little importance,
Leaving him to infer that that was the subject under
investigation.
Yesterday morning the investigation was continued
