THE excitement about the Chicago fire
somewhat allAyed that over Tammany, but as
the former is gradually subsiding, the latter
Is being rekindled. The result of the inter>
view OF a party Of the anti -Tammany party
with Gov. Hoffman was the appointment OF
Mr.. Char. O'Conor, the eminent New York
lawyer. to assist In the prosecution OF the
Tammsny city fisials for frauds. Mr. O'Conor
has accepted the appointment and promises
to move Immediately upon TammsnI's works.

to devolve upon any one the duties OF Attor,
ney General, or his right to institute any civil
or crimiT al Troct eding before the courts, and
that he meant to contest them from the out

any doors into legal tribunal, and that he
will not give a point to his adversaries He
certainly has indicated no intention Of making
an assignment OF hIs property as Mr. Keyser
has dope.
