WHEN the New York Times first began
its war upon the Tammany ring, its charges
were received doubtingly by very many
and pronounced partisan, too extreme, &c.
Judge Barnard has investigatedt the charges
in court, upon sworn evidence, and found
them so well sustained that be granted an
Injunction for the following reasons, which
we find in his opinion: ii
1t is charged against two of the defendants,
the Mayor of New York and the Controller, of
having paid dishonest claims, knowing them to
be such. The Controller of New York is its
financial officer; he is Entrusted with the audit
ing and paying Of absolutely almost all bills,
even after the rendition or recovery of judgment.
He has the power, under the laws, to appeal,
until such time as the Court of Appeals the last
resort, shall say whether i is right and proper
to appeal. He has, indeed prompt and supreme
power, and it is upon him, more than upon ali
the other officers, that the people rely for their
protection to prevent fraud. 1t isnot possible to
perpetrate fraud or have dollar taken from
the Treasury, if he sees that the bills of his
office are properly looked after and carefully
audited. 1t is no excuse for Controller, as the
head financial official, that his subalterns NAV
have deceived him. It may be possibly par-
donable, but it is nevertheless crime. In the
payment of these yarioas fraudulent claims
aome of them of an outrageous and atrocious
character, bearing on the face of them evidences
of being little better than highway robbery-it
was his business to have examined them ex-
tremely carefully, and have looked at the voueh-
ers and satisfied himself personally that the
charges made were correct, and that the services
we're performed And, therefore, when he failed
20 do that, he failed to do his duty, not only to
himself. but also to the citizens, and he was

nIarriage OF Cen. Mm. B. H.zen.


General William B. Hazen, was
married TO Miss Mclean, at Cincin-
nati on Wednesday evening of last
week. The Gazette thus notices the
event: .
Miss Millie Mclean, the second and
youngest daughter of Washington
Mclean, widely known as the prin-
cipai proprietor of the Enquirer, and
leading Democratic manager, was
married last evening at her fathers
residence, to Colonel William B.
Hazen, of the army, who was Major
General in the volunteer army in the
war. The bride is a brilliant young
woman, and the groom won his rank
i'll the volunteer army by distinguish
cd services. He is a native of Ver-
mont, but came early to Ohio as q
graduate of West Point, served in
Oregon and Texas in Indian wars,
took command of the Forty first Ohio
at the breaking out OF the rebellion,
was with Nelson's division at Shiloh,
was on the left of Rosecran's army at
Stone River, after which he was made
Brigadier General; was at Chicka-
manga; was in the movement plan
ned by Rosecrans that turned Look
out Mountain and opened communi-
cation by the river with Chattanooga :;
was at Mission Ridge, where his brig
ade made large captures of guns and
men was in the march of Sherman's
army to the sea; his division captured
Fort Nc lfilister, which was the turn
ing point of that march, upon which
he was promoted to Major General
and assigned to the command of the
Fifteenth Army Corps. 1t will be
seen by this brief mention that Gen.
Hazen has one of the most distin-
guished personal records of the war,
and is suitable match for the accom-
plished daughter of our fellow citizen.

employed for five years past in the
office of the Western Reserve Chroni-

cast he received 240. He was a SOL

GARRETTSNILLE
CORRESPONDENCE.

Your humble correspondent has
not been very communicative for. the
last few weeks on account of pro-
tracted illness with the Typhoid fever.
which seems to be quite prevalent
about this place during this season,
and in few instances has proved fatal.
To-day seems to warn us that spring
is approaching. The sleighing which
has been SO well improved for the last
few days, is fast melting away.
Last week, a young man by the
name of Howard B. White, who for
merly lived in this place, but for the
last year has been in Kansas, and re-
turned about three months since,
forged two promissory notes against
l.. d. Brown, wealthy farmer in
Nelson township. One note called
for $50, and the other for $50. The
first mentioned note he sold to Calvin
Matthews, dry goods merchant here,
for $40 in money and one pair of
boots. The other he sold to Mr.. Hash
man, a dealer in ready made clothing,
for suit of clothes. AS soon as he
obtained his money and clothing he
went to Hubbard to visit lady ac-
quaintance whom he intended to mar
ry and take to the West with him.
In the mean time, while there, Mr..
Matthews was informed by Mr..
Brown that he was not the maker OF
either note and they must be forger-
les. Mr.. Matthews took out a wsr-
rant and sent the village marshal after
him, who arrested him while making
preparations to go to the West. Last
Tuesday morning White was brought
before Mayor Hawley, where he plead
guilty" to the charge and was sent
to the Jail at Ravenna for safe keeping
until the next term of court.
Mr.. A. A. Barber returned from
California about two weeks since after
an absence of about two mouths. He
went to the Pacific by Railroad and
returned by water. He represents the
golden State very favorabIy and seems
we'll pleased with his western trip.
