The Condition OF Affairs.

New YORK, September %, 1871
The hustle and excitement which has
prevailed about the offices of the City
Hall has almost wholly disappeared
The attention of the politicians who are
in the habit OF congregating at these
places is now absorbed in the trial oi
Haggerty and Baulch, now going on al
the Court of Quarter Sessions. The
most desperate efforts are being made
for the defense of the accused. The
trial promises to be exciting. The in
difference which the police authorities
showed as to the making of an exam
ination of the departments occupied by
Haggerty in the new Court House with
a view Of tracing the missing vouchers
yesterday occasioned some surprise.
Several OF the committee Of Seventy,
however, made an inspection of the ash
heap. Orders were given to have every
remnant OF the documents removed to
the Comptrollers office. Experts are
not hopeful Of making anything out Of
the remains of tie destroyed vouchers.
1t has been observable that the conduct
and habits of Mayor Hall have under
gone a great change within few days.
Usually the Mayor seems entirely pre-
occupied with business. Now he keeps
his private Office wholly open, though
the string Of politicians who were &C.
customed to throng his ante-room are
no longer seen.
A new Democratic Committe TO be
Organized.
This afternoon a general committee
ofthe Democratic Union will be elected.
The Democrats at present have four
wings: Tammany Hall, Democratic
Union, Ledwith Democrats, and Mozart
Hall The Democratic Union has
tailed in an attempt to coalesce with
the LedwIth Democracy and Mozart
Hall. The two latter organizations
meet tonight to organize new Demo
cratic committee, which will probably
embrace all the Democrats opposed to
the Tammany Hall Democrats.
The Case OF Mrs. Haggerty.
The week closes very dull around the
City Hall and Comptroller's office. The
dullness to-day has been in marked con
trast with the busy scenes and excit
ing rumors of the past fortnight. 1t
was generally supposed that a writ of
habeas corpus in the case of Mrs.
Haggerty, charged with completely in
the robbery and burning of the vouchers,
would be issued to-day. An Assistant
District Attorney remained in the
Supreme Court Chamber for a long
time this morning, in expectation of
such an application, but it was subse-
quently ascertained positively that no
Judge would he on the hnn"h. IL 10 un-
Ierstood that should such an appllca-
ton be made, no opposition will be made
to the discharge Of Mrs. Haggerty on
the part of the District Attorney, there
being no legal grounds on which she
can be detained.
This afternoon Mrs. Haggerty, who
is charged with completely in the burg
larry at the Comptrollers office, was ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $4,000, by
Justice Ledwith The District Attorney
recommend that she be admitted to
bail, in which he was joined by Comp
troler Connolly.

The Times Impatient.
The Times is again to-day impatient
at the delay which is shown by the
committee of seventy in taking meas
ures directly against the ring of thieves,
and saws to The committee: "lt you
have evidence, as you certainly have,
on which to arrest Bill Tweed, why, in
heavens name, don't you send an officer
after him at onceY
Another Committee Meeting.

it is the desire of the German Democ.
