ELEVENTH HOUR REPENTANCE

RESIGNATION OF THE CONVICTED COMMISSIONERS
SUPERINTENDENT MATsELL AND EXCISE COM
MISSIONER vooRHIs APPOINTED THEIR Sue
CEssORs.
The Mayor was very anxious yesterday, and
was coseted with his cOunseOrs all day and all night.
The vigorous campaign which his opponents were wag-
ing evidently alarmed him. During the morning he
had a long interview with Assistant Corporation
Counsel Andrews who had furnished the opinion
on what he based his right to reappOnt the convicted
Commissioners. In the afternoon he went to Police
Headquarters and had q long consultation with SUI
perintendent Matsell While there he learned
that Disbeeker and Duryee wond not COOP
crate with Gardner and Charlick, and that
deadlock was inevitable he went home
and in the evening superintendent Matse and Excise
Commissioner Voorhs called upon him. II is probable
that Gardner and Charck had placed their resigna-
tions In his hands earlier in the day and urged him 70
accept them in view Of the appeals which would be
made 20 the Governor for his removal Other connden
advisers we're present, and at II p .havng, probaDy'
received assurances from Matse and VOOrhs that they
would take the offices he appointed them outright He
then asked r QUINN the Warden Of the Tombs TO con-

and Gardner had resigned and that Matse and Voorhs
had been appointed IN their places

A MUNICIPAL CRISIS.
THE MAYOR sURRENDERs.

GEORGE W. MATsELL AND JOHN r. YOORHTs APs
POINTED POLICE COMMISSIONERS IN PLACE oB
cHARLICK AND GARDNER-rwo MEMORIALS TO
THE GOVERNOR FOR THE REMOVAL or MAYOR
HAvYMEYRR TO BE PRESENTED ro-DAY-A FU-
TILE EFFORT TO REORGASIZE THE BOARD OF
POLICE.
The campaign against the Mayor has been 80 yigor-
ousy conducted that at q late hour last night he
evidently concluded that discretion was the better
part OF valor. The resignation of Commissioners
Charck and Gardner were received and accepted and
Geo. w. MatseI, Superintendent Of Police, and Jno
r. Voorhis Excise Commissioner, were appointed 20
fill the vacancies. This was eleventh hour repent
ance, and will astonsh his opponents, who were
busy during the day IN making arrangements Tor an
active campaign against him and his allies, the con-
yicted Commissioners.
Two memorials will be presented to the Governor
to-day at his country seat, and appeals will be made
for the removal Of Mayor Havemeyer One Of these
memorials is signed by Henry L. Clinton. 1t re-
hearses in very compact form, the con-
viction of Police Commissioners Charlck and
Gardner, and urges that their reappoint-
ment by the Mayor justifes his removal
BY the Governor The other memorial is much more
elaborate. 1t was prepared by Coils. Fellows and
Wingate and is signed by Oswald Ottendorfer, John
Kelly, and William II. Wickham. 1t recites the re-
port of the Assembly Committee on the abuses IN
the Street-cleaning Bureau, and the evidence
of irregularities on election day, taken IN
the Supreme Court, before Judge Donohue, recalls
the demand twice made by the Board of Aldermen
for the reorganization Of the Police Board and the
Mayors promised investigation and finally refers to
the conviction and reappointment of the Police
Commissioners. In word, the second COM
munication claims that the action of the
Mayor was gross outrage upon public de-
ceAcy while the other emphasizes its illegality.
The Aldermen will condemn the Mayors course at
their next session. Additional indictments against
the convicted Police Commissioners viii not be ap-
piled for Immediately. The Police Board made
futile effort to effect a reorganization.

APRIL 18th, 1874
As the temperance question is being
greatly agitated in this country, it may
not be uninteresting to some of the
Good Templar readers of your valua-
bic paper to know how the order is
progressing around Hope Hill.
Three lodges have been organized
within two month";. Friendship No.
$50 has, we understand, sixty mem
bers. Hope Hill Lodge No. 351 has
thirty-fve members. Though not so
strong in numbers at this time, it has
fine prospects for becoming as inter-
esting as any lodge in the country.
Chapel Hill Lodge 10. 376, recently
organized, has twenty-six members.
This lodge viii doubtless have a large
membership, as the people in that vi
cinity are greatly in favor Of the tenn
perance cause.
A young lady, who is strong adj
vocate of the temperance question,
while riding out one morning happen
ed to meet young mn carrying a
jug. She supposed the jug contained
whisky and at once began to lecture
him on the awful sin Of intemperance,
when the young man stopped her by
asking her if she knew why his Jug
was like her side-sadale. She replied
that she did not; whcreupon he said
that it was because it held a gallon
GALLON. BEG your pardon, Miss, "
said he, "but let me ask you another
question; do you know why my jug
is like the assembly room of a female
academy at roll-calI?' Il do not, ="
replied the young lady. dts be-
cause its full GLASSES was the reply.
The young lady rodc on without wait
ing to hear anything more from the
young man with the "little brown
jug"
Layinia Lodge, which is the oldest
and consequently the best regulated
lodge in this part of the country, has
received sixteen new members within
the last two months. Applications
are being made for membership in
every lodge that We have mentioned
by those who are wishing to join us in
our noble work.
Twenty-seven new lodges have been
organized in this State since the 18th
of February. Thus the good work
goes Oh, and we hope it may continue
until every citizen of our country be-
comes a Good Templar. J. W. B.

the possessor, but the agent of the ac-
