MUNICIPAL NOTES.

The Mayor In his Office yesterday, usual and
received large number Of Callers but strange say
but few Of them were of the genus politician. When
the Legislature in session Saturday on-day
with the members and the city representatives made
their bounden duty call the Mayor to pay their
respects they called it, but really to ask for that
little place. for this that and the other worker in their
districts They call moro now for the reason that
nearly all the little places ut the Mayors disposal havo
been filed and they have longer any make it
pcasanor otherwise for the city authorities who might
or might do they asked the distribution OF
the patronage So happens that Saturday is dull
day at the Hall, and this fact has become so patent
even TO the laborers out OF work that they do not
put in appearance in tho corridors in any great
numbers Yesterday there not Alderman TO bo
caught by the ticket petitioner for love money and
the given to all callers for the respective repro
sentativcs of their districts in the Board was either
''Gone fishing,n or "Down tho Bay to welcome tho
team" or 'Gone home to prepare for church TO
row ;, But there was one hunter of Aldermen who did
make the clerks stare He camo with his 'nrst-pa-
persn and he was in his shirt sleeves. He wanted to
be made full ncdged citizen, and he wanted his Alder
take him TO the nearest court that could invest
him with all the dgnitics in the shortest space of time
His irst papcrs showed that he had declared his in-
tentions before james NJ. Swecny, the Clerk OF tho
Superior Court 1865, after tho So ha
had taken only ten years to make up his mind about
that citizenship
The DELAY of the new CORPORATION Counsel in making
his appointments Is creating little gossip among the
politicians The fat places to be filled the Offices OF
tho Corporation Attorney, Public Administrator and tho
Collector of Arrears of Personal Taxes positions which
the incumbcnts $500 year each II is said that
general change in the personnel of the Office with but
one or exceptions will be made by Wednesday next
and that the delay really caused the with
which Mr. Whitney going the lists Of the present
subordnates in his Office and from his anxiety to pick
out of the great of applicants for places those only
who will be fully qualified to perform the exactng du-
ties which the peculiar nature Of the law office Of tho
city requires OF even tho lower grade of employees
There those who say that there is hitch over tho
selection of the Corporation Attorney, but such is
the fact according to good authority.
The warrants for the pay of the remen for June hava
not been countcrsigned by the Mayor yet but tha
fact that he a few days ago counersgned those for
rants had met with the same favor. The rumor that
these warrants had been signed by the Mayor placed
many of the frcmen in rather tckltsh position yes
terday their green aud landlords made dead
set upon them for their back dues IL Is believed that
within a few days way will be devised by which
the rcmen can he released from their present dilemma
Ii seems they are anxious to carry the question ia
whether the should be signed by payroll
individual into the courts and thus have the
matter decided one way other for ALL They ara
afraid however, If they make any move in that direction,
that all those who take part in the movement will
offend the Fire Commissioners, and that dismis-
for all concerned Two OF the latter do not wish To
give their consent to this practical way OF putting end
10 the difficulty between the Mayor and the COmpro-
lcr lest they offend the Comptroller, and third does
not Is said feel like countonancing for fear of offend
ing the Mayor Between all these fires the ircmcn, with
all their hose and engines in good order, stand power
less
The water rents and penalties collected during tho
past week by the Water Register amounted S22 l63;
tho licenses issued by the Mayors Marshal 1876,
for which S4S3 were received and 263 permits
issued by the Permit Bureau, which brought in $3i7
