NEW YORK.
Mayor Havemeyer's Case.


New YORK, July 9.-1n accordance
with a previous arrangement, Governor
Dix gave audience at his residence on
Long Island yesterday, to the represen-
tatives of the Tammany Hall Council OF
Political Reform, and the citizens gener-
allv who left this city the day before, to
ask for the removal of Mayor Havemey-
er, owing to. what is called his illegal and
immoral act in re-appointlng Oilver
Charlick and Hugh Gardner, convicted
Police Commissioners, thus, in the
language of the aldermen's resolutions,
assuming the role Of vindicator OF VIC
Tins of the Criminal Courts. The rep
resentatives of the Council Of Political
Reform said Havemeyer was elected to
represent the genuine,retorm, and wooed
and won the nomination for Mayor as
an avowed representative of true reform,
and being disgraced 1t became
necessary to insist that whoever fragrant
lv proves treacherous to the standard or
reformation the Governor, should, hlln-
self be condemned. The Governor
seemed deeply interested and said very
emphatically that the subject should
have his immediate attention, and that
he would act promptly. "hllc one "i
the Rspeakcrs was making an argu-
nent Il dispatch was received, announc-
ing that VOORHEES, and MatSelI had been
appointed Police Commissioners in place
of Gardner and Charlick, resigned.
While the dispatch was being read the
Governor looked ut the ceiling and
smiled. then he gaspcd, "Matscll, good
gracious! MatScllw Oliver Charlick
saws the mayor has made demand upon
Police COMMISSIONS Desbeckcr Tor his
resignation under promise made ut the
time of his appointment, that II any
trouble arose hc would resign his COM
mission at five minutes notice at any
time it might be demanded. Charllck
saws, also, that DcSbeckcr Is not the KIND
Of man to resign, but that the mayor
has enough against him to remove nm
any time. DcSbccker's supposed offence
is that he prevented the reelection of
Gardner to the Presidency of the Police
Board The mayor friends say represents
very detected appearance. His round
cheeks are sunken in, but he still main
tains his savage, defiant look. 1t seems
Hugh Gardner is not an Excise Com
missioner. and both he and the Mayor
realized Yesterday that the Mayor has
moi absolute power of appointment, and
members of the Board of Alderman say
they will confirm him when his hair
grows gray.
