THE COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY.

Several members OF this committee were inform
ally In consultation Yesterday, but nothing definite
was accomplished. The afiidavit OF Mr.. Have
meyer, upon which Judge Barnard has issued sum-
monses for Ingersoll, Garvey, Miller, Wllbor and
others, has not been IN any true sense movement
OF the committee, though some OF Its members have
approved thereof. The public clamors for some
thing practical to be done led to IT, but some OF the
accused parties cannot be found. 1t Is now posi-
lively asserted that Andrew J. Garyey mas left the
city and probably the country. and 1t Is stated on
good authority that Others have transferred their
property and Withdrawn their bank accounts and
contemplate change OF air and scenery also.
In view OF The complications arising and likely TO
arise on this account meeting OF counsel for Mr..
X. b. Connolly and for the committee was held yes
terday In Mr.. s. G. COurtDeys law office TO consult
as to the best method OF procedure The commit
tee show no disposition, nor nave tney any desire,
to shield Comptroller Connolly more than any other
OF the accused, and he VIII probably be one of the
first OF the prominent officials who Will be brought
to the bar. Though the committee design TO bring
actions both civil and criminal, against the city
officials and their immediate outside abetSOrs, there
Is o deep feeling of distrust In the minds OF many
Of them whether they viii be able 10 accomplish
expended IN 1t. 1t Is said that MIR. Woodward,
whose extensive improvements on his island In the
Sound were SO deliberately described short time
ago. Is one OF those "wanted" by the committee.
There was also a consultation held yesterday De-
tween certain members OF the committee ana mem.
bers OF the new reform democracy In regard to the
proper action to be taken TO keep Tammany and Its
representatives out Of the Rochester Convention. 1t
Is understood that the delegates from the Old Wig
wan will meet with strong opposition there. The
committee feel that they are especially blocked IN
any action which they may contemplate against the
they intend to run Aldermanlc candidates. through
whom If elected they nope for the impeachment or
the Mayor The committee WILL therefore, move
very slowly ana cautiously until the time when they
are sure TO achieve success Circulars were issued

lively one many OF the issues at stake being very
local and personal The republicans have not ven

Synopsis Jor the Past Ttoentv-Jour Hours.
The area of the highest barometer which was on
Friday afternoon over Tennessee and Indiana now
extends from Ohio and Tennessee to the South
Atlantic coast, having moved southeastward, with
very high pressure during the night. The barometer
has risen decidedly from Name to Florida. 1t has
fallen north and west OF the OHIO valley, well as
In Texas and Louisiana. Brisk northwest winds
have continued In Florida and have veered
to the east on the Texas coast, with
increasing cloudy and threatening weather. A
steady northeast gale has probably prevailed in the
central portions OF the Gulf. Hazy and pleasant
weather mas continued on the lakes, with south and
southwest winds this afternoon, from Wisconsin 10
Kansas. The pressure has risen rapidly at the
Rocky Mountains and the California stations.
Probabilities.
The barometer will probably continue high, but
fan on Sunday over the Atlantic States and fall
the lakes, with increasing easterly winds. Cloudy
and threatening weather win probably extend over
the northwest ana upper lakes, and continue in
Florida ana Texas.
