MR.. HAvEMEYER on THE SITUATION.

A Tribune reporter called on Mr.. Havemeyer
TO make some inquiries in regard to the correspond
ence between himself and Controller Connolly. Mr..
Haycmeycr expressed himself In effect, as follows:
Mr. Connolly, whom have known for many years,
held for some time important clekshp in the bank Of
which was President, olco from which retired In
1860 was consequently brought into close relations
with him, and conceived good opinion OF his financial
abilities. About week ago Mr. Connolly applied ~ me
for advice as to the desirable course Of action for
him to take In his present unenviable position What
advice I gave L. amply put forward In my
letter to him, published In the daily
newspapers. I had q difficult task to perform. ]

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, CITY HALL,
NEw-YoKK, Sept. lG, 1871.
MY DEAR SIR: The action of Richard B. Connolly in
retiring from the discharge Of official duties for term
Of Ave months has created vacancy in the office Of Con-
troler Of tho City of NewYOrk am advised and be-
lieye. The public interests demand that 1t should be
filed Immediately by some gentleman Of acknowledged
ability, not directly connected with local politics. and
whose commands the respect and confidence Of the
people Of the city State and country, well Of the
financial centers In Europe.
The credit Of the city been attacked II must be
defended and maintained. The administration OF its
financial affairs be placed beyond even the shadow
Of suspicion of intrigue. This Is due alike to Its cred
tors and to citizens all Of whom have an interest
In It's good and and look forward to the
early completion Of its great works Of Improvement now
In progress with the most important OF which
you have been for year past prominently connected.
Your extended reputation and your varied experience In
the execution Of public and private trusts Of great mag
nitude, especially At you for this position, and at this
time while your entire freedom from all local and poh
zeal complications will insure almost unqualified public
approval Of your acceptance OF the responsibilities which
belong to 1t.
I therefore tender you the office OF Controller, ana
earnestly urge you to accept
am aware that your full retirement from the import
ant position you hold in the Department Of Docks will
become matter Of great regret not only to yourself but
to the Department and the public, yet its operations
will be promoted rather than mpeded BY your accept
ance; because while your administration Of the finances
of tho city will nure to the benefit Of the dock improve
in with all the other departments, and
save all from the danger which threatens them
advice, and counsel, and supervision, must still be
tended whomsoever shall occupy your place in that
Department, should you cease to hold 1t.
am confident your acceptance Of the Controllershp
will at restore that public confidence in the fnan
cia administration of the city which is absolutely
N m INDIGNANT. alone the DuDlic
credit but the public peace.
1 ask, therefore, your prompt acceptance.

COUNTY ScsiP.-Itis very evident that
there is culture" for Shasta county war
rants. When we consider the number of
miles of railroad which will be completed
through the county within the next two
years, and the additional amount of revenue
to be derived from assessments thereon,
we conclude that interest bearing county
scrip is good investment at ninety cents
on the dollar, and there is no good reason
why it should not bring that price.

Medical men explain this on theories of
constitutional tendencies or of some poison
latent in the system The fatal accident to
one man is the merest accident for another
Two men while walking get well soaked by
the rain. One man shakes off the water
pretty much as dog or duck mi ght do,
and rather enjoys his shower bath than not.
Another man is taken i'll of inflammation of
the lungs, and probably dies. The doctors
cannot explain the different issues, and
they would also be very much puzzled to
give satisfactory account of the pneu-
monia itself They will, indeed, generally
explain theories more or less plausible,
and practice has been built upon theory,
and theory has, no doubt, sacrificed u num-
Der of lives. Yet medicine must have its
dogmatic system, and without it medicine
becomes little better than empiricism :

CnINEsE.-In another column we pub
lish an Anti Chinese Resolution which
Hon. A. Il. Andrews has introduced into
the Legislature. As both parties have
practically embodied the sentiments con-
tanned. in the Resolution in their State
platforms, there should be no opposition tc
its passage. We are glad our member has
brought the matter up, as We desire to see
the Republicans place themselves on record
in harmony With the declarations of theil
party platform. If there are any Chinese
worshippers in the State Legislature we
are interested in finding out who they are,
and vote on Andrews Resolution may
throw some light on the subject

PROPOSED NEW COUNTY.
BURGETTvILLE, Dec. 5th, 1871


FRIEND CARTER Last Saturday was a
'tield day" at Burgettville and the place
assumed a very lively appearance. The
cause of this stir was explained by the facI
that meeting Of the citizens'of Fall River
and adjoining Valleys bad convened fol
the purpose of considering the question .
forming new county: After the meeting
had been addressed by several speakers, .
resolution was offered and una nimously
passed, in favor of organizing new County
The favorite name for the new County is
"Crook," in honor of the renowned Indian
fighter for whom Fl. Crook, in this valley
was ramed
After due deliberation and consultation
among parties interested, the following
boundaries were agreed upon for the new
county, and the same are incorporated in
the resolution passed at the meeting:
Commencing at the northeast corner Of
the State, running along the California and
Nevada line south, to point twenty mile
south Of the county lines Of Siskiyou,
thence west through Lassen and Shasta to
a point where the line will strike about
the New York Ranch, running due north
to the California and Oregon State line,
thence east to the place Of beginning.
The above boundaries include large
area of good agricultural, grazing, and
timber lands, and embrace region practi-
cally isolated from the county seats of Siski-
you, Shasta and Lassen, and as it would be
better for all concerned, we hope the Legis-
lature will allow US separate county gov
ernment These boundaries now contain
population of over three thousand, and if
polls had been established convenient for
voters to get to, we would have shown a
voting strength in September of over one
thousand. Population is coming in rapid
ly, and if the Legislature will only grant
our prayer, we will soon have one of the
best counties in the State.

NEW COUNTY, correspondence the
Yreka Journal, writing from Fall River,
gives the following good reasons why a new
county should be formed in that region, all
of which reasons we know to be well
founded:
"That being surrounded on all sides by
high mountains, that become impossible
after the first deep SHOWS fall, and remain
80 until late in the Spring, the people are
almost wholly deprived of any communica-
tion with the county seats of either Siski-
you, Shasta aud Lassen counties 1t is
also reasonably believed that neither of
these counties from which territory Is
to be taken. will suffer any loss, while the
people in such section will realize inestima-
bic benefits. 1t is further believed such
an event as the organization of new
county would stimulate enterprise, increase
population and add greatly to the prosperi-
ty and development of \ orthern California,
comprising Pitt liver Valley, Fall River
Valley, Big Valley, Hot Spring Valley,
Goose Lake Valley, Surprise Valley, and
numerous small valleys, excellent for farm
ing and grazing purposes. 1t is well
known to all, that where such an extent of
country has TO be traversed by our county
officials to assess property and collect taxes,
10 summon jurymen, witnesses, etc., that
it is a heavy expense to the county for
mileage and other costs, and many times
crime GOES unpunished for want of proper
jurisdiction Business men also suffer in
many instances through unprincipled men
getting in debt aud leaving before any
legal process. eau reach them. There are
many other disadvantages sustained by
both sectionsk which it is needless to
enumerate, as they can be better imagined
than described, if people will suppose
case by placing themselves in like posi-
tiou."
The impression in Shasta is that the pro
posed new county should be formed, and
if there is any opposition to the movement
we have not heard of it.
We also notice that the Yreka Union
has no objections to offer against the pro-
posed division, and the Yreka Journal
warmly commends the move.

PRosPEoTs.-Prospects all indicate that
new era of prosperity is about to dawn
upon this town and county. The certain
ty Of the building Of the railroad through
the county at an early day, has already re-
vived the spirits of our people, strangers
have began to enquire about and examine
our mines and lands, and general stir is
perceptible where there was nothing but
listlessness and Encouragement two years
ago. 1t is now evident that the road will
run very close to Shasta, if indeed it does
not ultimately run through the town. The
expenditures which the Company will nee
essarily have to make in the county within
the next two years, and the revival of every
branch of trade and industry Consequent
on the building and equipment of the road
is certainly cheering, and naturally leads
us to anticipate good times ahead.
