EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT., CITY HALL,
NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 1871.
MY DEAR SIR-The action of Richard B.
Connolly in retiring from the discharge Of
official duties for term of five months has
created vacancy in the Office of Comptroller
of the City of New York, as am advised and
believe The public interests demand that
it should be filed Immediately by some gen.
tleman of acknowledged ability, not directly
connected with local politics, and whose
name commands the respect and condolences
Of the people Of the city, State and country,
as well as of the financial centres in Europe.
The credit of the city has been attacked. IL
must be defended and maintained. The
administration Of its financial affairs must be
placed beyond even the shadow of suspicion
or of intrigue. This is due alike to its cred-
tors and to our citizens, all of whom have an
interest in its good name and success, and
look forward to the early completion Of its
great works Of improvement now in prog
ress, 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 magnitude
especially ft you for this position, and at this
time; while your entire freedom from all local
and political complications will insure almost
unqualified public approval of your acceptance
of the responsibilities which belong to it.
therefore tender you the Office Of Comp
troller, and earnestly urge you to accept it.
am aware that your full retirement from
the important position you hold in the Depart
ment of Docks will become matter Of great
regret, not only to yourself, but to the depart
ment and the public yet its operations will
be promoted rather than impeded by your
acceptance; because, while your admins
tration of the finances of the city will inure
to the benefit of the dock improvements in
common with all the other departments and
save all from the danger which now threatens
them, your advice and counsel and super
vision must still be extended to whomso-
ever shall occupy your place in that depart
ment should you cease to hold it.
/ am confident your acceptance of the
Com ptrollership will at once restore that
public confidence in the financial administra--
ton OF the city which is absolutely necessary,
in my judgment, to preserve not alone the
public credit, but the public peace.
l ask, therefore, your prompt acceptance

The following letter will be sent this morning
to Comptroller Connolly -
MAYORS OFFICE Sept 1S, 1871.
SIR-I am advised that your action in re-
mitting absolutely, during a specified term Of
several months, to Deputy Comptroller all
and every power and duty of Comptroller, Isl
such REIMBURSEMENT of your Office, and so
antagonistic to legal construction of the
spirit of the charter, that your procedure
is equivalent in law to resignation of your
Office as Comptroller of the City of New York.,
and hereby accept such resignation.
am also advised that when the power Of
appointment to Office is given without restric<
ton upon, or without express statutory enactS
ment regarding the power of removal, the
latter exists as an incident to the power Of
appointment, and that the process Of impeach-.
ment is merely coordinate but not con-
aicting power to remove in effect an impeached
officer by procuring vacancy.
Therefore, to save all question, also here
by remove you from the head of the Finance
Department. Very truly yours,
A. OAKEY HALL,
Mayor of the City of New York.

of the City of New York.
