nation Of the Mayor Denied.
DISMISSAL OF COURT ATTENDANTS.
Lamentabie Instance of the Pow
erty Of the County.
MORE SIRSENDERS OF ELECTION INSPECTORS
At the Mayors ONice.

The Mayor was At his eflce yesterday for several
hours. numb OF gentlemen called upon HIS
Honor, but nothing OF remarkable public interest
transplred. Late In the afternoon and after the
Mayor had lett there were rumOrs that the Mayor IN
tended to resign and that the resignation would be
made public in tho course OF the evening
or early to-day. This rum0r, which was received
with rather more than usual credcnce because 1t
came from reliable authority, was not trusted very
much. The Mayor had not given the slightest inti-
nation OF IL, and none oil the attendants on
His Honor knew anything OF 1t. 1t was
alleged by those who were placing considerable
confidence In this report that the reason OF the
Mayor having decided 10 resign was the annoyance
he experienced by the number or candidates for the
Commisslonership OF Public Works, which win be
vacant when the resignation or MIR. Tweed Is
made operative. 1t was stated that pres
sure was brought to bear upon the Mayor
for this appointment notably by MIR. Green the
Comptroller, Mr.. James OBrien anu several men,
bers or the Committee or seventy all OF whom
Nominees HaH >ti This, united Win the continuous
abuse that was heaped upon him, had induced

The CompireIler's ONCE.
Az this Office there was nothing TO disturb the
even tenor OF Its way. All the clerks OF the once
were at their several desks and there had
been no appointments or removals. The Comp
troller had discharged ten Of the attendants
on the Marine and Supreme Courts and the
General Sessions. He rerained from giving to the
press the names Of these gentlemen. because he
thought 1t would be dlsadvantageous in their OBJ
taining other employment. These removals, with
the long continued non.payment OF salaries
employed causes considerable distress and loud
spoken complaints. The non-accessibillty or fundS
for inc payment Of current expenses a. reached
at the Coroners' olces that In consequence
OF the deficiency IN the county funds the
coal Tor the OF the OIf1ces which was nearly cx
hauSted, could not be renewed NJ the expense or the
county. Should tins order be persisted IN the
CorOners Will walt In body upon the Comptroller
and represent to him the unjust manner III which
they have been treated Tor months past by the
county officials ana demand immediate redress.
