NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
ConnOlly's appointment of Greene
"Even the World will find it hard
task to villify the Rev. II. Greene, OF
to assert that he is not proper man
to be placed in COnnolly's position.
Greene, as we need scarcely say to our
readers at distance, is a Democrat,
but he is a man who would be credit
to any post, and whose verdict we
should be quite willing to accept"
The World remarks that Mr.. Green,
sedueed by bad advisers, has put him
self to skulking intrigues to shield
Connolly and prevent the appoint
ment of a thoroughly upright man
like General Mcclellan or Mr.. Bel
ment to the COmptrollership This
prepOsterious fetch is not creditable
either to Greene or his sly advisers
and il cannot save Connolly. If Con-
molly is innocent il is idle to make
charges against the Tammany ring;
but if he is guilty Greene and his
hidden prompters are acting most
disreputable part in their desperate
attempt to sustain and serene him.
Rev. NJ. G. Hodge, DID,, who was
invited from Wisconsin to accept of

Church on the 18th, was installed to-
day in the presence of large congre-

worked as teamster, labOrer and coal
bOatman. She gave herself up to the

The five thousand dollars stolen
from the North River Bank by its
messenger, Richard DOoley, last
week, has been recovered.
The Mayor removes Comptroller
Connolly, and appoints General Nc
CIellan in his place. The latter has
not signified his acceptance, but is
holding back until the Comptroller
acts on the Mayors letter of dis
smissal.
Mayor Hall writes to Connolly that
his remission to his deputy of the du-
ties of his Office is equivalent to a
resignation, and therefore MIR. Con-
molly is ordered to quit.
The Mayor and Board of BrideWell
Commissioners of this city, have ten
dered to z. p. BrOckway, of Detroit,
the Office of superintendent of that
institution. Mr.. BrOckway is and has
been, for the past ten years, principal
of the Detroit House OF Correction. 1t
is not known whether Mr.. BrockWay
will accept.
A cOlOred man named A. J. Pertett,
aged fifty-siX, living on Polk street,
near Clark, murdered his wife last
night by cutting her throat. Imme-
diately after doing so, he rushed to
the police headquarters, and re-
quested to be locked up. When ques-
toned, he insisted that his throat had
been cut, and manifested signs of in
sanity; but it was soon discovered
that his insanity was feigned. He
was locked up.
The Tribune of to-day, (the 1Sth),
will contain the following:
"SeYeral facts which have been de-
veloped in connection with the ap-
pointment of Greene has led to the be-
lief, as expressed in several places yes
terday, that it was brought about by
the active agency of the Democratic
State Central Committee. S. J. Til
den, a member of the Committee,
who has pronounced in his opposition
to the ring, is credited with having
suggested the arrangement, and aided
in its negotiation. EX-Mayor HaV-
emyer, who conducted it, is known
to be at the mead of a formidable
movement for reorganization of the
Democratic party, which has the sup
port of the State Central Committee.
Havemyer and Tilden are under
stood to be bondsmen of the new
Comptroller, and Greene and Tilden
were long law partners. The news
was generally accepted in view of
these facts as the beginning of active
operations by the State Central
Democratic Committee against the
ring, or, at least, that part of it which
hoped to save itself by sacrificing
Connolly. Itwas generally observed
that the effect of such a conflict be-
tween Hall, Tweed and Sweeney and
the respectable Democrats of the city,
and the Central Committee of the
State, cannot but be very momentous
in its political aspects.
