ss11.EEe sign.
NKw YoRK, Sept. 12.--Controller Con-
molly has just issued letter in reply to
Mayor Halls request for his resignation,
in which the Controller peremptorily de-
clines to resign. He refers to the cir
cumstances which are calculated to place
the conduct of the Mayor in a very
questionable shape. The letter has pro-
duced excitement among the Tanmany
people.
From the correspondence it would
seem that Mag or Halls request is based on
the suspicious burglary of the Comptrol-
ler's office. At least the latter soregards
it, and refuses to resign, as such a step
might be construed into a confession of
completely in the abstraction of important
papers. BE further states that he has
duplicates of the, stolen papers, and that
the public interests cannot be injured by
the loss of the originals. We note further
that the Comptroller neglected to furnish
the mixed Committee of Supervisors, Al
dermen and citizens, with the documents
necessary to examine his accounts. This
is perhaps the true motive of Mayor Halls
request for his resignation.
The Injunction Suit Tweed at HIS
Daily Prayers.
In the proceedings before Judge Bar
nard to-day, Tweed stated through his
counsel that on examining the papers
served on him, he found that the order
merely commanded him to do certain
duties which he was already sedulously
performing. 1t was no more good than
an order that he should say his daily
prayers. II was only Objectionable, as
being an implication that he had neg
lected some of his duties. The order was
one of those legal monsiIosities-a man
damus under the form of an injunction.
He was surprised that such distinguished
counsel had taken such course- MIR.
Tweed was prepared to deny every charge
of wrong made against him in any rele-
want portion of the papers, and would be
prepared to do 80 Wednesday morning.

Gov BULLooK, of Georgia, has gone to
California, but nobody appears to know
for what purpose. The Washington cor
respondent of the Louisville Ledger says:
Letters have also come to Washington
in relation to Bullock's transactions, and
the officials are beginning to believe that
he has left his State and duties for the
purpose of Grading just punishment for
lis many glaring frauds. The investiga-
ton now going on duplicates him in the
most infamous transactions, and he must
know that he cannot much longer escape
condign punishment for his acts.

THE LADIES' CAR
A LudicrOns Incident OF Railway
Travel, Illustrating the IntustEco
of This Arrangement. -e


The 'ladies' car" is distinctive fea-
ture of American railroad travels
national institution. Its existence and
employment may be directly traced TO
two equally American characteristics.
One is the exceptional respect-smount-
ing almost ID special veneration-with
which petticoat is always treated in
this country by every man who claims to
be gentleman. 1t was this characters
tic which led Justin Mccarthy to say
that American women are not wives, but
queens. The '4sdles' car" however, is
not the result of this sentiment alone, but
still moreiof the custom of most railroads
in this country to provide to one whole
train only single dsysear that is tolera-
BILE and hsbitable, and this is reserved for
the benefit of the ladies. 49,.
The various grades or classes of the
European cars-always three of them,
and sometimes four-afe ranged In price
as well as comfort and elegance. With
tirst-class ticket, one is entitled to q
place in frst-clsss compartment, ire
specti7e of sex. With q second class
ticket one has compartment Just about
as Comfortable, though n0t 50 el gan'ly
finished or so exclusive, from whicd.he is
not excluded on account of wearing male
attire. The other grades are lacking in
comfort and stuselion, but the pfies is
% much cheaper a. to become blessing
70 the poorer c'a3ses. Th.re are always
good places, however, for sll who can
e. I'm Aa
on the other baHd, all pay the same
prices, bat are made comfortable or un-
comfortable merely according to sex.
There are occasions when even American
gallautry Is sorely tried to submit TO this
arbitrary usage with patience.
1t was not many days since an incident
occurred on one of the Wisconsin cars
which, besides being exceedingly ludi-
crous itself, illustrates the injustice of
this system of ladies' cars, and Of leaving
to the judgment Of the average brakeman
.u= decision as to those entitled to enjoy
the greater privilege
A gentleman and bis wife weIe starting

husband told his friend and his wife to

husband came up he found the door
locked, the key in the brslkemsn's pocket,
and al chance of admission IesoluIely cut
off.
