New YoRK, Sept 12,-Chang How and suite
comprising potion Ot the Chinese embassy,
Of which the late Arson Burlhgamc was head,
arrived in this city yesterday nom Europe.
Since their departure from this country tucy
have visited the principal cities of Europe.
Thomas j. Lewis Of Brooklyn, who accident
ally shot his mother, Mrs. Frances Hopkins,
while defending himself from brutal uncle,
has been honorably acquitted and discharged
from prison.
Serious charges of cruelty have been made
against the management of the SuSquehanna
valley home charitable institution for children
at BmghamtOn, and committees are now cN'
aiming the affairs Of the home. A warrant has
been issued for the arrest Of the supc incndent,
Rev. Mr. Van Epps, who is now in Boston. The
principal charges are made by Mrs. Mary Buck
nam, former matrOn of the institution.
There are no further Developments i'll regard
to the stealing OF the official vouchers Of tue
controllers department. Connolly is openly
charged with completely in the robbery. There
was great feeling in Wall street in the afternoon,
and all securities in which the ing leaders were
especially interested felt the Acaty wclght OF
pubic suspicion. II this suspicion SHOULD OC'
come certainty, it would produce most sths'
ter state of feeling, The impression has been
growing for some time that the law docs not
afford sufficient guarantees against the corrup-
tons and audacitv UtthCsc people 1t IS an I'M
preston we dcpore and shall not cease TO com
bat But if anything could give the color OF
justice to such impulse, it would be Il crime like
that now charged against the controller.

able vouchers, evidences of payments and cam

and the mayor Immediately had a full converse
ton regarding means of investigating the I'M
toward circumstances Of the ALLEGED burglary,

such papers as may have been taken, aud pro-
tect the interests of the city. Our constituents
will have the rirht to hold YOU responsible and
in a measure withhold from the finance depart
mcnt the desirable public confidence Ii is inn
possible not to perceive that the city credit will
suffer, and in a very critical period Of the mu-
nicipal government With great personal reluc-
lance officially reach the conclusion that the
cXi@ency demands your retirement from

yestigate its affairs and restore public confidence

prefer the charges to the Judges of the court of
common pleas who alone can remove, after
considerable time for trial | am compelled to

expected emergency, upon your magnanimity
and ask, under the circumstances loryour rcSg-
