Wherever there is no remedy agalns
the robbery of the community, it is tn
duty OF the Bench Of Equity to invent
remedy, and that if none exists tn
court would be justified in resortins t.
any means in its power TO prevent 1T
continuance-a state Of things discred
table 10 the city. We all have th'
credit of the city and heart, whethel
aged men, wishing to give their OIL
spring an inheritance; middle agee
men, or little infants in the cradle. We
are all interested in it and interested II
looking for relief to prevent the con
fiscation oftheir property. The injunc
ton is granted.

Citizens Committee Meeting.
The committee Of Seventy held an
other secret meeting this afternoon, In
the Chamber OF Commerce. tits under
stood that reports will be adopted upon
the reports of the various committees
that have been laid before that body
The committee are anxious to bring
their deliberations to close as speedily
as possible, and will hold meetings
every two or three days until their
work is accomplished.
The conferences which have been
held by Messrs. Hall, Sweeney and
Tweed, for the purpose Of devlsing the
means for securing a change in the
Comptrollership, is said to have result
ed in the dissolution of the existing
partnership between these gentlemen.
Tweed declining to join in the demand
for the resignation Of Connolly. The
announcement of the intention on his
part to withdraw from the ranks oil
Hall, Sweeney, and their supporters,
unless the plans Of the campaign were
arranged by him as the Tammany Grand
Sachem, is now made public. TO this
proposition Hall and Sweeney dissented,
and it is now believed that these two
will begin the fight in earnest, and by
seeking to raise rebellion in the ranks,
get Connolly cashiered, and if possible,
have Tweed deposed from his position
both in the city government and Tam
many society. There are great many
Democrats from the interior OF the
State in town, who say that something
must be done at once to relieve the
party from the odium which the city
affairs is calculated to produce in the
rural sections.
The subcommittee Of the Citizens
committe on City and County Accounts
say they are making advances slowly
but surely, and investigating every thing
bearing upon the affairs OF the finance

ports that the lists OF stolen vouchers
for paid claims against the county for

ten days.
The Tribune criticses the conduct OF
naval officer Latin in sending abroad
to the politicians under his frank letters
OF his own and Chairman Cornell, which
misrepresents the situation, in so far as
they affect the issues between Fenton
and Conkling. 1t also says that LatiIn
is circulating falsehoods in respect to
Mr.. Greely, one of which is the state
ment that Greeley, six months ago,
favored the nomination Of Grant, where
by Greeley men favored his renomina-
ton. This Latin knew when he wrote
his letter.
In response to a call Of the Tribune
upon Latin to stop circulating his
calumnies, that gentleman seeks to
evade the question, like Chairman Cor
nell, whom it declares Greeley convicted
OF having uttered six lalsehoods in the
Hotchkiss letters.
The Union Republican County Con-
vention last night proposed to have a
fusion with other political bodies in the
city upon municipal reform.

New York, September l5.-Last
night, while Bobert S. Warden, resi'

fell heavily to the pavement. He was
taken to neighboring drug store in an
unconscious condition and died in a
few moments. The body Of the de-

where an inquest will be held. The
boys who placed the rope across the
