THE COMMITTEE ON PROTESTS,
Alderman Wilder, Chairman, met at ten O'Clock
A. M, and took up the case OF John Gien. who
claims that he was voted for as Comptroller, and
that such votes not returned according to law
by the officers OF election. He prays that they be
canvassed, and that, as he received majority OF
votes ior that position he be admitted to the office
Mayor Hall appeared before the committee in re-
gard to the case, and asked that its consideration
Be postponed for one day, which was granted. The
case of Rapp, who contests the election of Timothy
j. Campbell for Assembly also came up hut was
not finished. AS regards the Gillen Comptrollershp
contest,
Is somewhat intricate. According to the constitu-
tion the Office OF Comptroller Is elective ap-
pointed as the legislature may direct. but it Lad
always been elective up to 1866, when Connolly
was elected, the first case of appointment to the
0fice occurring in october, 1871 when the present
Comptroller Green was appointed. In the tax
levy OF 1870 clause was inserted terminating the
ONCE within five days from the passage and au--
thorizing the Mayor to appoint the Comptroller
II thought by the Ring that Connolly could not
go before the people and secure an election, and
his official figures were too valuable to risk, and
the tax levy clause was to guard against such q
disaster.
THREE OBJECTIONS,
new clause. One was that 1t might have been in
serted surreptiiousy after the passage OF the tax
tional according to the provision relative to private
or local bills aud the third, that the Legislature
had no power to terminate any elective Office cx-
cept by It's abOlishment
ITS CoNsTITUTTONALrTY
was indeed so doubtful that In 1870, when the
Young Democracy ran Tappan for Comptroller
against the Tweed wing Connolly preferred taking
the chances OF election to the chances and investi
CATION OF law suit, and was run for the ONCE by
TamInany and elected. Some OF the Committee on
Protests hold that there was no more call for an
election then than there Is now, for the same laws
hold good now that held good then.
In 1871 the amended charter declared valid the
previous legislation. Green was appointed after
wards, ard
THE QUESTION on WHICH GILLEN's CLAIM RESTS
Is whether the amended charter Is the legal basis
for Green's tenure, or whether he holds his office
according to the constitution until the regular
election for his successor.
Chairman Wilder holds that the legislation was
unconstitutional. and Connolly held ONCE only until
election, while, the amendment to the charter being
legal Green holds by Its authority, and cannot be
ousted now. However. there may be rare develop
ments In this outsiders raid on q rich ofice.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YoRK, Oct. 23.-Commissioner Daven-
port, Of New York, WAS an aid under General
Butler, in New Orleans. As to the comments OF
the New York press on his conduct, he remark
ed, in the presence Of numerous bystanders, in
his Office, yesterday: II am independent OF
them. shall carry out the enforcement OF the
law to the letter." In q corner Of Davenport's
office there is telegraphic instrument, which
communicates With his house. and also with the
headquarters Of the Custom House Re-
publican Committee in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. This instrument, it
is said, is to be used by Davenport in ordering
arrests Of obnoxious citizens before, and On the
day Of, election. Blank warrants bearing Daven-
ports signature will be In readiness in every
district, and it will only bo necessary to write
in the names OF parties Who are to be taken into
custody.
4 teiegraphic instrument has also been placed
in the Grand Jury room, at the dis
posal OF Colonel Desanges, Chief Depu-
II Marshal, who is to have, next
to General Sharpe, complete charge Of the polls
on the day OF election.
Davenport has assured his Republican friends
that he will so administer his Office as to re-
duce the vote OF this city to 10000. In which
case he calculates there will be majority Of
5000 for Grant. The Grant frauds In Philade1-
phis are to be cast in the shade by the Grant
frauds in this city, which gave Seymour in 1868
$4,000.

RocKFoRK, ILL.,, Oct 23.-General Farnsworth
addressed large and enthusiastic audience in
Browns Hallto-night. His speech was one eofthe
most stirring Of the campaign: he defed any
Grant man present to answer bis clinching argu~
ments, and fear1essly exposed the corruption
that is undermining the whole Administration.
The cheers at the mention Of the names Of
Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner, Lyman Trum,
bull, and Gail Schurz we're deafening, and
demonstrated clearly the state of public senti-
ment
The manner in which the speaker defended his
character against the vile calumnies that have
been circulated about him, was we'll received
by the audience, and their whole sympathy
seemed to go with him. At II O'Clock he
closed his speech, which VAS listened to
throughout with the most profound attention
The reception Of General Farnsworth IN Rock
ford WAS more enthusiastic than that OF any
speaker during the campaign.
The Liberal element is gaining ground every
