Charles O,ConOr and Samuel j.
Tilden Opposing the
Claim of Tweed.
INCIDENTAL SLABS AT MAYOR HALL.
The County Of New York Local Government,
Without Authority.

The excitement throughout the city yesterday,
next to that caused by the sudden and excessive
coldness OF the weather, In regard to the pro-
gress OF the forensic night at Albany for
the discharge Of Messrs. Tweed and Connolly from
arrest or the reduction IN the amount Of ball.
The cases in this city, OF course, assumed no new
phase. Mr.. Tweed attended to his duties as usual,
while Mr.. Connolly held his
LEVER IN LUDLOW STREET.
There was yesterday the usual crowd OF callers
and sympat hizers, but nothing new OF public I'M
portance he recorded in regard TO the situation
OF Affairs in the county bastle. Among the callers
yesterday was Sheriff Brennan, who may, perhaps,
have been awakened to the Unjust OF his action In
obltgng one OF MS deputies TO Sit in the room and
watch every word and movement OF Mr.. Connolly.
Shortly after noon special telegram was received
from Albany stating that matters there looked ia.
vorabe. and that order TO show cause why the
order OF arrest should not be vacated the amount
OF bail reduced had been granted and made return
able Saturday. This semblance OF victory
seemed 10 rouse the captive Comptroller and
during the remainder OF the day and evening he
was IN remarkably good spirits.
