RUMORS IN TIE PUBLIC OFFICES.
The Breach in the Ring-"Boss'' Tweed Said To
Be Putting On His War Paint-The Effect
Of the Observation-Disclosures and An
noyance-Connolly's Resignation
Looked For as Certainty.

The pitiless pelting rain which fell with such
unrelenting severity from early morn yesterday
seemed to dampen the ardor and chill OF the excite.
ment which had prevailed around the Court House
and the City Hall during the previous portion of the
week. With the exception Of the immediate neigh
borhood OF the Supreme Court rooms there was but
little evidence Of life In the halls OF the marble tomb
OF the peoples millions. During the forenoon small
knots Of laborers, who had not helped to swell the
throng on Thursday, came from time to time to
draw the pittance which was to be gwen them, ard
others who have been employed on repairs In differ.
ent parts OF the city called at the Comptroller,s
ofice and made arrangements to be paid OF this
morning.
The chief topic of conversation and comment IN
all quarters was of course the progress of the great
Injunction case and Its probable result ana effect,
None oil the leaders or prominent oflcials were to
be found, ana the lesser lights and attaches of the
public offices conversed In low tones on the ques.
tions Of the hour.
RUM0Rs WERE RIFE,
as they always are In such troublous times, as to
the probable and possible action Of this that or the
other one Near the foot Of the stairs reading to the
Chamberaln's ONCE and Immediately IN front Of the

THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD.
The Corporation Counsel says that lt was h,s on,n

tracts than he has done because nothing else in the
minutes was relevant. And yet In his argument he
has dwet more particularly on the subject of the

SENATOR MORTON SMOOTHING
HIS WAY FOR IMPERIALISM.

From the N. Y. World.
SENATOR MORTON SMOOTHING
HIS WAY FOR IMPERIALISM.
Mr.. Morton delivered lecture in
Providence last Saturday evening.
Ii was an insidious argument, by
President Grants chief counsellor
and champion, for breaking down all
barriers to the establishment of a
centralized imperial despotism in
the United States.
The tito given by Senator Nor
ton to his address is "The National
Idea" and its professed object is to
combat tho doctrine of Estate SOW
ereiguty." This was singular
choice of subject. The events of
the last ten or twelve years have
identified State sovereignty in the
popular mind with notification, Sc
cession, and rebellion, and have COW
cred it with so much odium that
rational and temperate defenders of
State rights shrink from going be-
yond the printed text of the Con'ti-
tuition for arguments. To argue
against the old Southern doctrine at
present would seem as needless as to
thrust the body of a dead soldier
with bayonets. But the confidential
champion of Ulysses the First knows
what he is about. Entertaining no
doubt of Grants reelection, he
thinks this occasion opportunc for
taking advantage of the settled hos
tiIity of our people to secession, and
pushing the doctrine of Federal su-
premacy to its utmost extreme with
a view to electing Grant fora third
term, and finally reconciling the
people to Central Despotism.

A SAD RESULT OF HERoIsM

1t is perhaps lato in the day to
publish incidents of the Chicago fire
but the Post relates one which de-
serves more than a local circulation.
It is the story Of an Indian who had
arrived in the city but few days
before the great disaster. As the
flames advanced he was standing on
the sidewalk of State street. He
gazed upon the rushing columns of
fire as calmly as if he was content
edly viewing an Apache brother cut
ting the throat of an Arizona settler.
All about him was cracking ruin,
but his bronzed face gave no indica-
ton of fear. Through the smoke
and fire the panic stricken multitude
called upon him to fly, but he stood
immovablc as a statue and vouch-
safcd no answer. The curling tongues
of fame wrapped him in a blazing
garment, and soon he periShed- a
victim to a mistaken idea of courage:

A CRUEL DECEPTION

4 little while ago there was fan
cy fair at Brussels. The object was
a charity, and tho ladies who kept
the stalls did some things which la.
dies as a rule avoid doing. 1t is
supposed, of course, that the poor
ought not to be deprived of money
that can be got by any means not in
volying positive improperly. In
this way kisses have been sold at
fairs, and in this way at Brussels a
lady sold, or was supposed to have
sold part of her beautiful tresses.-
A gentlemen passing her stall was
greatly attracted by the fair sales
woman's charms, and CALAMITY de-
manded to know the price of one of
the locks hanging from her chignon.
Now the lady has husband, and,
thinking it right to consult him on
the subject, she automatically man
aged to postpone the negotiation TN.
til the next day. The husband said
money for the poor ought not to be
turned away, but with p;oas fraud
his hair being like his wife's light
brown, he cut a lock from his head
and gave it to her. Next day the
cnamorcd purchaser received this
lock, and paid an extremely high
price for it.
SO far all was we'll, but the happy
couple were subsequently indiscreet.
They could not resist whispering the
delicate li.tle secret to just enc or
two amused friends. Presently the
deceived admirer heard that he had
been duped, and was being very
muched laughed at. His displeas-
ure has now expressed itself in
most disagroeable manner. In Bel
GUM, deceit in tho quality or nature
Of any article sold for money, expos
es the vendors TO very severe pun
| ishment. The gallant Belgian, who
seems as warm and vigorous in fight
| ing as in loving, has actually sum
moned bott. husband wife into court
and they will be compelled to swear
whether the hair sold was or was not
the genuine article the lady profess
ed it to be. The affair is producing
lively excitement, and the trial,
which was just about to begin at last
accounts, will be eagerly watched.-
Undoubtedly the deluded purchaser,
like all who come to grief through
the tender passion, deserves a GER
tain share of sympathy; but, really,
a man who could have the folly to
believe in the genuineness OF any
hair pending from chignon in these
days, will be none the worse for
lesson that will teach him to be ieSs
credulous in future.

Mr.. Brown opposed tho adoption
Of the report; he believed that

upon at the session in January. =
Further, that while it requires two

adjournment thereafter depends
merely upon a majority vote.
Mr.. Wellborn offered resolution
