Mayor Hall, Notwithstanding hav.

Mayor Hall, Notwithstanding hav-
ing written a bravado letter to the
citizens committee, refusing to resign
or to give any satisfaction as to the
financial condition of New York
city, Is beginning to get shaky in the
knees, and has demanded Of Richard
Connolly, City Comptroller, that he
resign. But Connolly is "stiff neck
cd and rebellious,r and wont do it,
for Hall ,"or any other man." The
matter is waxing hot, and the citi-
zens declare "that tho scorching rays
OF political indignation will make the
city too hot to hold him." What
will become of tho Democracy then?
With no Hall, no Tweed, no Connol-
~, to steal and fitch from the people
OF New York, all the shining lights
of Democracy would DO gone, and
the sinews Of Tammany Democracy
(millions Of stolen money! would be
gone forever, and the star of New
York Democracy would set in etor-
nal, everlasting darkness. Sic Tran.

Of Citizens aud Aldermen.
New YoRK, Sept. IL.
The theft yesterday discovered in
the Controllers Office, was on excl.
ting topic OF conversation in the city
all last evening. There were vari-
GUS opinions relative to who stole
the vouchers and what they were
stolen for. Some think tho affair
was one Of the tricks of the ring fo4.
the purpose Of forcing the controller
to resign, and this seemed to have &C.
quired plausibility late last night
when it was announced that Hall had
addressed the Controller communi-
cation saying that the Mayor was
constrained TO conclude that tho ext.
gencies demanded his retirement from
the head Of the Finance Department,
in order that some other person
might be placed there by the Mayor,
who will be enabled to investigate
the affairs Of the Controllers Office
and restore public confidence.
The World says ifthe Comptroller
disregards the demand of the Mayor
he will find before night that scorch
ing public indignation will make the
city too hot to hold him. 1t adds
that it may be his misfortune, and
not his fault, that this alleged rob.
berry of his department occurred Just
at this critical juncture, and it hopes
the Mayor be afforded an opportunity
to appoint bis successor.
Comptroller Connolly has written
. letter to Mayor Hall 10 reply to the
latters' requesting him to resign
Connolly emphatically declines to
accede to his request.
The police have thus far failed to
discover any clue to the theft in the
Controllers Office, 1t is said that
duplicates of the stolen vouchers re.
main in tho Controllers office, and
that tho originals are recorded in full
in the Office books, which are safe.-
The Controller has signified no inten.
tion to resign.

the joint committee Of citizens, AL.
dermen and Supervisors on tho city
accounts it transpired that no state.
ment Of tho accounts had been fur
nished them. A committee then
went TO the Comptroller, who was
not in his Office. The committee of
citizens then handed in lot of docu.
ments which they required including
the Comptroller's annual accounts
from 1866 TO 1870, report of the
sinking and trust fund operations for
1869, and statement Of the city
debt TO August. 1861. tits said that
Connolly had formed an alliance
with Tweed to combat the other two
members of the board. Tho Mayor
was soundly breated for his action in
Conpelly's case by many hangers on
about the City Hall and Court House.

The Cedar Falls Gazette. of Blacl,

The Cedar Falls Gazette, of Black
hawk county, enters into the Senate.
rial contest with vim. As expres-
sive Of northern sentiment and the
earnestness with which Harlan is
supported in the north, wo publish
a short editorial from that paper.
Its view Of the CONSUMING candidacy
Of Allison and Wilson, is, no doubt,
entirely correct:
A HOPELESS CASE.
Nothing shows the hopelessness Of
w. B. Allison's chances for the Sen.
atorship, more significantly than the
manouveriDg of his friends. James
F. Wilson allows his home paper to
say that the next Legislature will be
left free to elect him, if the members
shall see proper, and he will submit,
and then goes to New York and tele-
graphs to Washington that Allison is
sure OF the nomination. The Du-
buque Times also announces pos.
itively tha at Mr.. Allison is still
on the track. These assurances
were found necessary, as it was
understood that whenever Wilson
came out as candidate, Allison was
virtually used up and must withdraw.
This wire pulling means but one
thing. Allison is beaten, and his
friends know it. The only hope of
defeating Harlan is in bringing Will
son on the track, with the view of
holding Ailison's strength for Wilson,
and at the Same time divide the
friends of Harlan. That kind of a
game might do, providing Allison,
Wilson and Dodge own the next Leg
stature, but it is presumed that thew
will not. The people will have some.
thing to say in this matter, and the
merits OF men may possibly enter
into the Senatorial question.
