New YORK, 16 the Committee of Seventy
| appointed j. NJ. Bundy, Simon Stein, ID. f
| Tremain, Judge Emott, Jackson s. Sbnliz
| III. N. Beers and Isaac ii. Bailey, a committe,
to draft an address fol- presentation to the PEG
| pie of the State, especially in the interior
| to embody the objects for which the citizen:
| had associated, and the best means to be takeI
| for their assistance.
Mayor Hall announced yesterday that the
| committee were invited to act with the JOINT
| committee. The Board of Supervisors and
Board of Aldermen had pre- pared a report ia
which they say that there has been no over-ls.
sue OF city bonds and the lebt OF the city and
county is just what the Mayor said 1T was in
his recent reports to the board of Supervisors
and Board OF Aldermen.
Judge Barnards decision is the Leading SUD-
ject Of. comment in all the morning papers
The World says that unless Connolly immed-
lately resigns the Mayor must impeach him.
The community would regard it as an inexcus.
able lack of vigor on the part OF the Mayor IL
he hesitated to impeach the head of a depart.
ment already branded a criminal by a. court
OF justice. Judge Barnard's judicial language
Is stigma upon the whole city government II
proceedings are not instituted against Conhoi-
ly. judicial denuncIatiOn will fall upon the
whole city government if they make Commonly $
cause their own ard screen him from impeach-
ment. This precipitates upon US state OF
things too full of peril to he borne.
The Tribune snys Judge Barnard mas gwen
great surprise to both his friends and enemies
Dy liking his name n our history as one OF the
Influences to tie the hands OF the krOObers ana
bring the ad ADMINISTRATION of the city BACK 10
the principles of honesty and economy. Inc
parks and dock charges, gas, Croton wateF,
police, health department. board of education,
and salaries, are not included in the iplunct'on.
Sut1iclen2 money for the payment OF these
charges is supposed to be in the treasury. Ii
it has been paid out wronefully then it must be
replaced by persons who paid it out, and VINO
are responsible for it, Much has been done;
more remains to do. Connolly is too trifln.s
sacrifice to delay the chase against the King,
which must now be thoroughly destroyed and
dispersed. Throughout this agitation there
have been no cries for vengeance, but the brig
ands must disgorge every dollar taken from the
pockets OF tax payers. .
The Herald says: "The decision of Judge
Barnard meets the hearty approval and en-
dorsement of the people and advises Connolly
to retire to private life as promptly as possible.
Ii he should draw some of his political asso-
ciaties in the waves of the popular Indignation
now fast osing over his own head, the munic.
lpal ship would be lighter ,sand the crew would
scarcely offer any strGng objection. Let the
people demand thorough amendment to the
new charter, with tnll power for tie Mayor TO
remove dishonest or incompetent officers from
the several departments. This will give us a
good government without Having to resort to a
Vlgileuce committee"
The Times says:s Judge Barnard accedes too
feariessly and independently, and the hands of
the public representatives will be sti engthened
Ill carrying legal action against the robbers OF
the IN the treasury to its national issue. Tue
next question is, where has the money gone?
RESTITUTION for the robberes of the past is next

Connolly was in his office when Judge Bar
nard rendered bis decision and Immediately
went. to the office OF his lawyer, ex-Judge
Beach.
The friends of Tweed and Sweeney regard
the decision as generating them. They de. |
clare that criminal charges will be made |
against Connolly, and will be arrested in few |
lays They also say that Ingersol, Garvty, |
heyser, Miller, Smith and others will be ar |
rested and a resort be made to make them di,- |
gorge the money taken from the city treasury. |
