NEW YORK, April A letter of United
States District Attorney Tenney, of Brook
lyn, to his second assistant; William d.
Hughes, asking him TO resign, is made pub
lie. The District Attorney says:
"0n assuming the duties of this Office
designated you as my second assistant upon
the urgent request of Attorney General
Williams, your brother-in-law. am now
compelled from circumstances which you
doubtless understand to ask of you your
resignation. For many weeks you have
been dislOyal to me and to the interests of
this office and have been in conference and
intimate relations with John ID. Sanborn
and his friends. have reason to believe
that for weeks you have been conveying to
SanbOrn and his friends the secrets of this
Office and prosecutions, and have been in
dustriously at work in the interests of Mr..
Sanborn, while at the same time you have
professed friendship for me, and have been
in confidential relations with me in the
prosecution Of the SanbOrn case.
81 also am well aware thatyo have been
all this while plotting for my removal, and
aiding the Sanborn influence by all the
llCdslAS III NOll Dth CA " lCLuON
and have made your boast that you would
through the newspapers, break me down in
the city of Brooklyn, and through your re-
lationship with the Attorney General Sc
cure nv removal in thirty days"
District Attorney Tenney was the prose-
cutOr of Sanborn, Hawley and Wander

More Concerned for Body than Soul.
At meeting last night of those favoring
cremation, number of letters were read.
Rev. FrOthingham wrote that he had no
prejudice against the practice. Chas. A.
Dana said it is certainly [notl creditable to
civilization that any part Ofthe earth's sur
face should be devoted TO grave yards and
that the remains 1.-THE dead should be dis
posed in an unscientic, cumbersome and
repulSive manner as at present. Henry
Bergh says in his letter, no reasonable
instinct of our nature demands burial. 1t
is only a prejudice like hundreds of
others which still exist or which have been
cleared away by the bright light OF reason.
1t is proposed to hold meeting in a few
days and form permanent organization.
A Complicated Suit.
During the Fenian excitement John
O'MahOney, head centre, deposited with
Belmont & Co. $4,000, taking therefor
bills of exchange on Rothschild & Co. of
London, drawn in favor of one O'Leary.
These bills were attached by the British
government and never reached OLeary.
O'Mahoney then brought suit against Bel
mont * Co. to recover the amount, and
asked the late Judge McCune for receiver.
Negotiations were opened between the par
ties bV which the money WAS to be turned
over to O'Mahoney. Pending negotiations
and before the case was submitted to courts
McCune appointed Th0s. j. Barr receiver
against the wishes of both sides. Barr
| subsequently asked for an order allowing
him to pay out in expenses and commission
considerably over half the amount, and
now, after reference decree and appeal, a
decision is given holding that the receiver
having been appointed through wrongful
| Intervention Of a stranger to the suit, is
not entitled to expenses or commissions
and must restore the full amount to Bel
mont and company.
