The Tanmany Frauds.

The Tammany Frauds.
New York, Sept. 10.
There is a growing sentiment in
fsvor Of Connolly, being manifested
and even tho Times thinks no is en-.
titled to some thanks now for placing
all the documents of his Office at the
disposal of o Democrat, whose honor
is unsullied, and upon whose verdict
the public ought to be thoroughly
contented, no matter upon which
side it may tell. 1t is stated, upon
good authority, that ono member Of
the Tammany ring was yesterday en-
deavoripg to effect hurried sale of
all real estate belonging to him, stat
ing that tho property annually pro-
duced 800, 900 in cash, the purchas.
or to pay fol tho same before
Wednesday, the day of the sailing OF
the European steamer The parties
applied to, to buy, declined to do 30.
The positive refusal of Gen. Nc
Clellan to accept the Comptroller
ship has caused great confusion with
Mayor Hall and his party of adher-
ents. The General stated yesterday
that he declined verbally and EN-
phatically to Hall soon after the re-
oeption of bis letter, and in tho after
noon wrote written refusal. He
thinks the situation is very gloomy.
and declares that no should be sorry
if the alleged populations OF few
men could influence the vote of the
Democrat party at large. The APP
pointment of Green is one which in
his oppinion gives satisfaction to all
and the notification of the Mayor to
the various city departments that he
does not recognize either Connolly
or Green will have serious effect. At
the pay departments 1t was announc-
ed verbally that no order of Connol-
ly's would be obeyed, consequently
the employees must suffer the do
privation Of their pay until the diff.
culties are settled.
i Mr.. Richard O'Gorman has written
letter to Mayor Hall, advising him
as he has exhausted every legal OK
pedient to GUST Connolly, not te
make another appointment to tht
Office of Comptroller; to Withdraw
his notice TO various departments
, and to treat with Connolly as Comp
troller de facto, if not de jure. Thi
! course he deems necessary to proven
> financial difficulties and compiled
tons, and to quiet the public excite
, ment and all feeling Of insecurity
which paralyzes legal controversies
/. A man who claimed to have som
: knowledge concerning the vouchers
Q has been arrested.
U The first number of tho Tamman,
! Banner, a campaign paper in the il
# tcrest OF Tweed and Chandler, wa

If communication to Mayor Hall n
r questing him instanter to cause pre-
% ceedings to be commenced by tn

many ring, including himself, for tn
ID recovery of property alleged to b
y stolen from the city. They also il

of Mayor thus far has taken no motto
" to the letter.
st O'GormAn has written another le
IS tor to the Mayor, in which he g.
g presses his opinion, that legal stel
in should be taken to recover the IN
le MES paid by the city on grossly Q.
