The Mail says in reference to the voucher
robbery, that it is strange and significant
fact that every movement of the Comptroller
to obtain evidence to convict the guilty
parties has been closely watched by police
men, and the affidavit of Mary Conway
shows that she had to give her evidence to
Connolly under threats from influential
quarters and against, at least, the moral in
fuence of the police.
At meeting OF the Union Leas Tie Club,
to-night, resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing the corruption Of the city government,
and calling upon all citizens to leave party
politics aside in their efforts to secure an
honest and pure administration of the city
affairs. The Club declines to take any part
in the present exciting affairs of :he city,
leaving the Committee Of Seventy, in which
they express their confidence, to look after
the interests of the citizens. The purity Of
the ballot-box is advocated, and the citizens
are advised to gather in bands in every cleo
ton district and see that there is no ballot
box stufing, and that the votes cast are fully
counted.

torially, says that it is always best to face the
situation, and that there should be no relent-
ing in the action which il going on against
the municipal authorities. but thinks that as

New YORK, Sept. 22.-The prosecution of
Comptroller's Office is to be pushed with the
greatest of vigor. Although Judge Garfield,
District Attorney, expressed unwillingness
to allow any outside counsel to participate in
the case with him, should the hearing in the
matter result in the discharge of any of the
accused, it is intended TO have re-arrests
made, and proceedings commenced under an
Indictment. The conduct OF Superintendent
Kelso in taking Haggarty before Justice
Bowling, is regarded A. suspicious. Kelso
is known to be indebted to Tweed for his po-
sition. Hagearty has long been political
tool of Tweed's.
Public sentiment is gettiag more intense
against the rings, aad meetings held lately,
in denunciation of city frauds, succeeded in
arousing strong indignation among all anti
Tammany political organizations, which

is now speaking against the ring leaders with
greater boldness. Some journals directly
ask the apprehension of one of the men i'm
plicated in the City Treasury robbery.

sons under arrest will be vigorously carried
forward. The Ku-Klux Committee will
send ub-committees to Mississippi, Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas.

The Republicans New York special says
that the very wors: anticipations in regard to
the Tammany ring are being realized. Every
hour adds evidence to the atrocious conspri-
racy Of the thieves. A conference has been
held the entire day between the leaders of
the State Democracy and the Tammany men,
urging the latter to resign At once, but as yet
no result haslbeen reached, because no one
will resign alone. If Hall, Tweed, Con-
molly and Sweeney remain in Office two days
longer, no quarters will be gwen them BY
the party at large. They will be read out
ignominiouely and LEFT TO the consequences Of
law.
