New YORK, September 2O.-The
back-down of Mayor Hall nom the
course which he had signified it to be
his intention to take in reference to
the eomptrOllership, has produced 8
| manifest quiet in the hitherto per
turbed municipal situation. The &C
ton of Hall is looked upon as an ac-
acknowledgement of defeat, and as a
settler to the hopes of the "ring."
| SWeeny was anxious yesterday that
Hall should recede, and, in an inter-
view with him, strongly urged the
adoption of that course. Hall de-
clares that the question between him
self and Connolly is a purely official
matter, and thinks that the advice Of
O'Gorman, to institute suits against
those who have plundereds the city
treasury, does not at all apply to the
case of Connolly, as he believes the
injunction granted by Judge Barnard
Will hold until the formal withdrawal
of Connolly from the Board Of Ap-
pOrtiOntment.
The movement Of the Germans
against Tsmmany appears TO be Of
greater magnitude than was at first
supposed. 1t now transPires that the
revolt Of that portion OF the foreign
element dates back to last year, when
the Tammany leaders incurred their
displeasure by apparently ignoring
German influence. The efforts of the
Germans of the eighth ward to secure
a reform in municipal administration
are encouraged by some twenty or
more prominent Germans, who, a
short time since, were holding sine
cures under TammaBy officials, but
who are now said to be the most clam
orOus for reform.
The friends OF Connolly had de-
mOnssTatiOn last night, during which
every confidence was expressed in his
integrity, and strong denunciatiOns Of
the mayor were INDUCED in. ResO-
lutiOns were adopted requesting Hall
to resign.
The Tribune, referring to the al
legged plundering Of the city treasury,
says, that the arraigament Of Tam
many cannot be left to the ring, for if
the robbers of the city are TO be
brought to Justice and compelled to
make restitution, it is not possible
that those whose hands are so I'M
clean can be trusted with this weighty
service. The rapid progress made in |
the last few weeks in unearthing these
rObberies, says the Tribune, makes !
any further compromise or compound |
ing with the enemy unnecessary.
Foley, one Of the plaintiffs to the in |
junction case, tells an interviewer |
from one OF the papers tnat Connolly |
has no affiliation whatever with TIE |
secret committee movement, that he /
has offered to make full restitution /
for himself, and submit statements |
which will criminate Tweed, Hall |
and Sweeney, and probably send /
these gentlemen to prison. Foley
thinks If Connolly goes to prison he
will take there with him the other
members of the ring.
One OROurke, some time since q
clerk in the OOmptrO ler's Office, and
who has acquired some notoriety on
account of his frse use of information !
against the Comptroller, yesterday
tried to see the managing editor Ofthe
Tribune in reference to some pUbica-
tiOns which have appeared in that
paper derogatOry to him. After as
that he could not see the
editor, be approached the
city editor IN a hostile manner, even /
raising his cane as if to strike, when
the newspaper man grabbed him and
pitched him headlOng out OF doors.
Corporation Counsel O'GOrman pro-
poses 70 proceed vigorously against
parties to whom fraudulent payment |
has been made, provided evidence /
can be obtained on which to base q
suit. He says that the officers Of the
city government are his clients, and
that it is no part of his duty to prose
cute any charge against them. he
did not desire to have his correspond |
ence covering the suits against the
ring published, through an appre-
hension that his efforts would be inn
Deded thereby.
Up to 2 O'Clock this afternoon Mayor
Hall had not officially recognized
either Comptroller Connolly or Deputy
Green. 1t is reported that he will
issue no revocation Of order to heads
Of departments. Ex, x,Deputy StOrrs
remains an GttGche Of the cOmptrOl-
.er's Office as chief clerk.
There is nothing new up to this at-
5ernoon. The situation at City Hall
has a quiet appearance, and the ex-
element throughout the city has sub
Iided.
