Mayor Wickham has sent a COM
munlcation to several heads of de-
partnientS emphasizing the recon-
mendation in his message for the abo-
lition of lobbying at Albany to secure
legislation for various departments. II
is rumored that it was suggested by
the knowledge hat Comptroller
Green's agents are already in Albany
endeavoring to secure legislation at
fecting his office. The Mayor has or
dered the Corporation Counsel to show
cause why he should not be removed.
In a letter to him, the Mayor says:
Your appointment to office is so
plainly traceable to the agency of these
men, Tweed and his henchmen, that it
has kept them in the same relations to
the law Of the department that they
held under your predecessor. Claims
against Tweed and his associates, in
volving many millions, are now, by
the decision of the highest court,
placed exclusively in charge of your
department, and we have reached the
fourth year since the last of the frauds
committed. No gentleman stand
ing in your relation to Tweed and his
associates could prosecute them with
the zeal and active energy needed to
compete successfully with the large
corps of able cOunselors whom their
stolen millions enable them to en-
ploy." Smiths counsel, in reply TO
the Mayors letter, says he can answer
to the satisfaction of every just mind
every fact and every inference in the
Mayors communication which is CAL
culated to bring ~disrespect upon his
administration.
Coroner Croker has resumed his
duties at the Coroner's Office. He
don't know when his second trial will
take place under the indictment for a
murder on election day, during a row
with Senator Jas. O'Brien.
General Gustav has written a letter
on that part of the report of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs which re-
fers to the Black Hills expedition and
its effects upon the Sioux and whites,
in which ne says: "If the Commits
sioner had either truth or justice on
his side, he might furnish a plausible
excuse for his conduct IN criticising a
statement from another department;
but he has perverted truth TO the ex-
tent ofstating, in an official document,
that which is not only not true, but of
AAAS AO s"Nu Nv Aoo A0A0k tblAtIOLI,
even on which to base his voluntary
misstatements. If the Commissioner
will cOnfine his attention to his own
department and correct such evils as a
conscientious discharge of duty might
find therein, he will have no time 10
interfere with other departments, much
less to publish unwarranted, because
untruthful, statements concerning the
official conduct of Others"

The following dispatch vas sent by
Lieutenant General Sheridan to Secre-
tary Belknap tonight:
ut is with deep regret that ! have to
announce to you the existence in this
State of a spirit of defiance to all lawful
authority, and an insecurity of life
which is hardly realized by the Gen
eral Government or country at large.
