GAGE vs., HEa1NG,

City accounts are kept On the gano general
principle as other accounts. The honesty aud
economy OF good official contribute to ono
sldo, aud the waste and solhshness Of bad off,
cial to tho othor. Practically, Mr, Anthony q.
Hesfng is city Official. BY aot Of
tho Legislature, he Ia the Official Ger
man printer, guaranteed by law against
any responsibility for neglect or inacourucy
In Ills work. His "iuauenoe" in city politics
induced the Legislature to voto linn porna-
mont income without any corresponding account
ability. The worry form OF the law is IN adzn,s-
aon that there is 20 need Of IN oillciu1 publica-
tion OF the proceedings Of the Common Coun-
ell, etc., in German newspaper; it thore were,
there would DO q noceaaity that 1t should bo q
correct publication. hlr. Hosipg, in his
official position, has consequently been
drawing money put Of the City Troas-
ury for years without rendering any equiv
alont therefor. This readily accounts for his
opposition to 11r. Gage, who las been returning
money into tho City Treasury for years whom
there was no law to compel him to do 1t. The
@+Ae@ NV 40 AARHtAk1 AAtA9t VAt u kua 4EEdHu13
ought not to oppose tile man who ia putting
monsy into the Treasury. But 80 it is, for this
is queer world.
The amount Of interest On city deposits which
Mr. Gage has returned 10 the city, as atteatyd
BY the Comptrotler'B books, Is over s1s0,0o0.
The amount OF money which hr. HeBing in hia
capacity as Official German printer. has taken
ont of the City Treasury since 1865, is 1856 s27.25.
In other Words lIr. Hcaing. with an act Of tho
Legislature Tor bis especial boneat and with tho
must willing disposition, hes pot been able to
depleto tho City Treasury ~ tapidly az
AIr. Gage has roploniBhed It. Tho fact that Mr.
Hesiug has not been able to seize all the money
which Alr. Gaga las paid into tho Treasury has
gor. The acconnt NJ between these two gentla-
lnon Stands thus:

A. @. ueslug German PFipsr) .............. 5000
Balance against Hcsing... ......,,,,..,.,.. .s2l6o ooo
That IL to bay, in their relations to the tex-
payers, Mr.. Hesng liz just s2l6,0Oo behind Mr.
Gage in tho euro Of tho city funds. It ia not to
be expected that Mr. HoBing will pardon Mr.
Gage for giving the taxpayers the benefit Of tue
interass Oh their own fupls. It was a proeodont
that ia utterly taqofougible In lis eyes. It
was direct personal insult to Mr. Hes-
ing willie no was engaged IN precisely
the opposite direction. This not only acoounta
for tho special hostility Of tho aats-zc1tung to
Mr., aage. but for tho nervous anxiety with
which Aesipg looks forward to the result Of the
approaching election. He feels that City Gov
ornmont elected In opposition to him WY not
consent to pay him $751;, ,0oo more for ser,lco tlAs

laws requiring nguor-Baloons to bo closed on
Sundays should not be enforced, and, II en-.

apohtical party has boon organized. This party.

this ill-starred attompt to combine persons Of

tho City Government under Mr. hlodlll, and aftor-
wards under Mr. Bond, has intorposed tho law,

LOyG ISLAND CITY POLITICS.
New Convention to Nominate . New
Candidate for Surrogate.

New Convention to Nominate . New
Candidate for Surrogate.
Politics In the four-y ear-old city over the East
River are becoming rather warm. On the ticket
nominated by the County Democratic Convention
the new metropolis OF Long Island Is represented
by Daniel r. Lyddy, who entered the race for the
Surrogate prize. According to the accounts re-
ceived from the various towns through the county
since the Convention the latter nomina-
tion appears to have given considerable
dissatisfaction to the staid old residents
Of queens, and the democracy Of Long
Island City declares itself to be anything
but delighted. The candidate has resided there
only few months, and the cry of 'carpet-bagger"
has come to be long and loud Fears were ex-
pressed by the old-line democrats that the weight
OF this nomination will bring down the whole
the nomination, Mr. Lyddy has been very active, In
connection with two or three other PERSONS In the
recent crusade against the Mayor and the City
Judge which fzzled out so ingoriously, and which,
1t is charged was inaugHrated for the sole purpose
of bringing its promoters into fictitious pr0mt-
nence on this fact becoming known the citizens
OF both political parties have begun to express
peacbers and their sympathzers in the Board Of
Aldermen, and the whole thing is now character
lied as a political Job. The republican opponents
nidcant, and that his name on the other ticket
nsures them all the county Offices, not only
democracy since he took up his residence in tho
county, but on account OF his previous record
and antecedents. Meantime the republicans
have endorsed Mr.. SutphIn, the demo-
cratic nominee for County Clerk, leaving
Judge Armstrong almost alone, rs u were, on
the ticket. The Judges friends will certainly
work hard for him, though they 0rieve loudly for
the dscouraging circumstances surrounding oil
their efforts. This state OF affairs having been
made known to the democratic candidate Tor Sur
rogate he has signl1ed his intention 10 retire
from contest which he feels would only endanger
the whole democratic ticket. such action on MS
part will necessitate the meeting OF another county
convention to nominate a new man for Probate
Judge. On the whole. 1t Is evident that the at
tempt OF these parties to take selfish advantage
Of the recent cry Of universal reform, BY trying 70
defame reputable officials upon groundiess charges,
iS about to recoil upon them severely.

PHE GERMAN REPORMERS.

Preparing for Busincss-Arrangemcn
for q Joint Nominating Convention.
The Central Committee Of the German Reform
organizations. which originated during the reform
campaign two years ago. held q special meeting
at the Teutonia Assembly Rooms last night. In
the absence of Henry Ciausen who lately has re-
turned from Europe, Oscar Zoikoner, the Vice
President. occupied the chair. The Executive
Committee, through Marcus Otterbourg, presented
report, proposing that the following candidates
be presented and recommended to the different
nominating conventions:-Dr. Louis Schultze
and Gersh0n N. Hermann for COroners; A. NJ Pet
shaw for Justice of the Marine Court whose name
y to be presented TO the Bar Association and VIII
liam Radde for County Clerk; also that conference
committees had been formed in each case to take
further action. Alter some discussion the report
was received aud the action OF the committee ap-
proved. The delegates OF the German reformers
and OF the Council of Political Reform, recently
appointed for that purpose, are to assemble at
room "a Cooper Institute, this evening, organize
joint nominating convention for the nomination
OF the different candidates to be voted for In the
next election.
The New York herald., 1873-10-14

adjourned until wednesday wnen the Coalition
Conference Committee will report and the final
selection OF candidates will De made.
An analysis OF the above table Of nominations
shows the race for Sheriff TO be wholly between
Conner, Fox and Reilly, with the preponderance in
1avor OF Conner. Conner received the solid nomi-
OF i've others, and was mentioned by eleven
delegations. Fox holds two 'sold" dele
cations, is first choice of five others and
is mentioned by ten. Reilly received three full
delegation choices, is first choice OF five and is
mentioned by nine. Walsh appears to be 'away
out OF sightr ahead OF all other candidates for
County Clerk. Croker, Woltman and Young are
the choice for coroners, and will undoubtedly re-
them should be asked to give way for an Apollo
Hall candidate ON the coalition compromise.
Powers and Plunkltt appear TO have the pull be-
tages and enthusiasm all in favor OF Powers Gilon
threatens them, however, with close run; but

A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND MURDER.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., oct. ls.

MEMPHIs, Tenu., Oct. Is 1873
Near goydsvilie, Weakly county, Tennessee last
week eight or ten armed men went TO q citizen's
house and took negro girl out into the woods and
each outraged her. They did not attempt to dis
ruise themselves and carried their victim but Q
short distance from the house. The couple with
whom the ptr lived we're powerless to prevent
tha outrage and were compelled to listen to tho
sgonizng shrieks OF the helpless creature. Her
body was found soon after the degraded beasts
had left, most horribly mangled and life extinct.
t is stated that the facts were never reported to
the authorities, and the body was buried without
any legal examination. Efforts were made to hush
up the matter because OF the alleged respectabity
OF some OF the participants In the outrage.
