NEW YORK, Sept. 25-There are good grounds
for the statement that neither of the five Tam
many senators, Tweed, Dreamer, Genet, Norton
and Bradley, will take the field this fall. They
held several meetings the past week, at which it
was determined that it would be impOltic to
make any fight against Tilden in the conven-
ton, as that would inevitably detach enough
democrats from other parts of the state to throw
the next legislature into the hands of the repub-
licanS. 1t is said they have resolved finally to
decline reelection, and will develop no opposi-
ton to the candidates of the democratic party
in their district. 1t is generally admitted by
the Tammanv magnates that they would be
roughly handled in the coming convention, and
they say the present complications have more
unpleasant features for them than any NAV re-
member in the past. There seems no question
that Hoffman is in league against them, and
will endeavor to make capital with the state and
national party by vigorous opposition to the
ring. They say Tiden has heavy load to
carry in Connolly, but that otherwise the fight
is with him, and they add that Connolly can be
thrown overheard without difficulty, for Tilden
has been careful not to commit himself to suS-
tain the controller
The examination of the charges against Ed
win NJ. Haggerty and Chas Bauch was re-
sumed in the court of special sessions this
morning, before Justice Bowling John Graham
criticised the action of Judge Ledwith concern
ing Mrs. Haggerty. District Attorney Garvy
asked Judge Bowling to send the prisoners be-
fore the grand jury, and promised him that if
guilty they would 90 to state prison. He de-
clined to accept assistance in the management

G. c. Leigh, candidate for secretary of state
on the temperance ticket in an address to the
Father Matthew tpmnprnDpp SOpiptv last Oipbt
said that the judges had taken advantage of
their power to suspend Judgment instead of
sending the guilty to prison, until 1000 of
these suspended criminals are now at liberty in
this city. Leigh said that one of these sus-
pended criminals, indicted by the grand jury
within the last year, was appointed janitor of
the court house and had in custody valuable
papers belonging to the controllers office which
he burned. Why did he burn these papers?
He had no interest in doing so; but there was a
man high in Office who was interested in their
destruction, and it is very possible that he said
to the jantor: "YOu must burn these papers.
If you do not, you will be put in prison to-mor-
row."

mate the temporary debt and the revenue bonds, |
both of which he claims, were make-shifts, one |
for local improvements, the other for govern |
mental expenses, both being, in fact, loans to
citizens on good security, and in no proper way
included in the city debt.
