New YORK, Sept. l6.-The Times, to-
day, publishes 8 letter from W. f. Have
meyer to Comptroller Connolly, advising the
latter not to resign, but TO appoint Andre "
d. Green, Deputy Comptroller, and leave
hlm to exercise the full powers of the office
without conditions or Interference, and with
the complete custody of all the books and
papers belonging TO the Office with ihe sp-
polntment Of all persons, he may think il
necessary to protect public property and in
terests, and enable him 10 carry out the
most searching investigation TO aid the com
mities appointed for tina. purpose.
Connolly has accepted Hsvemeyers sd-
vice sBd appointed Andrew q. Green, De
putty Comptroller, vice Richard CORES, re-
moved. In accepting his advice he states
he is governed By 9 warm desire to restore
the department over which he presides to
the confidence of the city, and SO conduct
affairs SO as to satisfy the just demand Of
the public.
The Times says, ediIorially, in regard tc
Connollys appointment of Green:
Even the World will find it hard tasL
to vilhfy Andrew b. Green, or to assert tina
he is not the proper man 10 be placed il
Connolly's position. Green, as we neec
scarcely say to our readers at a distance, is 4
credit to any party, and whose verdict w
should be quite willing to accept"
The World remarks:
'Mr. Green, seduced by bad advisers, ha
lent himself to skulkIng intrigue to shislC
Connolly and prevent the appointments of I
thoroughly upright man, like General Nc
Clellan, or Belmont, to the Comptrollership
This proposterous fetch is not creditAbl
either to Green or his sly advisers, and
cannot save Connolly. If Connolly is 10
nocent, it is idle to make charges ag&ins
the Tsmmany ring; if he il guilty, Greel
and his hidden prompters are acting a NOS
disrepu.sble part in their desperate stsemp
to sustain the screen him"
! Several facts which have been develope
in connection with the appointment c
Green led to the belief, as expressed in seV
erAl places to day, that it was brought abou
by the active agency of the DemocrAti
| State Central Com mmittee. S. }. Tllden,
mem Der of the committee, and prouounoe
in his opposition to the ring, is credited wit
having suggested the arrangement and aic
ed its negotiation. ExMsyor Havemeyel
who concluded the treaty, is Known to be q
the head of q formidable movement for th
reorganization of the Democratic psrtI
which has the support of the State Centr'
COMMITTEES. HaVemeyer and Tllden are III
derstood to be the boDdsmen of the ne'
Com ptroiler, and Green and Tildsn wei
long law partners. The new situation wa
generally accepted in view of these fact
as the beginning Of active operations b
the State Central Democratic Committe
against the ring, or at least that part of
which hoped to save itself by sScri6cin
Connolly.
