and tho City Hail. the present crisis in the City Govern
ment generally and very excitcdy discusseqby
every except the officials in the two lastneltioued
S:idings who appeared 20 he TOO much bewidcred TO
have much say about any thing. Great and agreeable
surprise expressed at the promptuess with which
Judge Barnard granted both the preliminary and final
injunction against the city officials and the almost
iinous opinion that corrupt rulers had TIA
in 6. ther respective ropes, ADD III thers
soon to be change from wrong o right in tho admins
traton Of municipal affairs.
When it became known that Gov. Hoffman was In tina
city, and that Id was holding secret conference with
Sweeny the Clarendon Hotel 1t was at once supposed
that he here to consult with the Tammany Sichens
about the feasibility OF calling special session OF
Legislature to take action upon the complicated affairs
OF the city, and possible its confidence and
credit by providing against future frauds About p
Gov Hoffman had private meeting with Col. Joline,
Mayor Halls Chief Clerk. Soon after It's termina-
ton, the Colonel called for large quantity
of manifold paper and locked himself In his
private room, where it s asserted that he mani.
folded message from the Governor, which viii hs
made public to-day.
Toward evening there was another rumor to the
effect that, If there had been any real difficulty be-
tween sweeny and Tweed 1t was now settled, and that
they together with Hall, would act in harmony to secure
the overthrow Of Connolly Still another runor was TO
the effect that Connolly and ex-Sherif O'Bren were
forming ring into which they would endeavor to
draw the Germans and the Young Democracy by show
ing that the vouchers stolen for the beneht OF
Tweed and Hail. and that they and not the Controller,
are responsible for the amount Of the peoples
money he has paid out.
THE REGIsrERsHIP-LETTER From Mr.. scuIIcHTISG.
The information given In THE Tribune on Saturday 10
specting the offer made by the Ring OF the Re gsershp
Alderman Schchtng created considerable consterns
ton and feeling against the leaders, and general
want Of confidence In sweeny & Co. was plainly
manifested. The general belief that either Of
the four would "sel out" It was termed their
best friends to themselves from destruction
Friends Of Judge Edward j.. shandley said that the
office Of Register promised to shandley by Swecny
last Fall, compensation and inducement for him TO
withdraw from the contest for Sheriff against MathewT
Brennan Tho information alluded to was pub
lished on authority in which place great
reliance Mr.. Schlichting has written US the
following letter, In which he explicitly Denies
not that the offer was made to him, but that
was made by Mr. sweeny, that he has had any con-
yersaton whatever with Mr.. sweeny. The report has
been inquired into the receipt Of Mr. schichtings
letter and the grounds for believing in the absence %
any explicit denial that the offer made by SONS
member OF the Ring, certainly very strong and wooio
warrant the publication have made. Mr. schhntms
is OF course, entitled to tho disclaimer rs pubahe'
