The Mayor on Monday night removed from
Office several members Of the City Goge1n-
ment, but tho most important action in this
respect was the puemptory removal Of Mr..
HArks, the Comptroller. Tho Mayor could
not maintain his self-respect and continue
Mr.. HA1Es In office It was q question
whothds the city finances should bo under

Comptroller, f1oe Of all authority Of the City
Government, The Comptroller has psno-
dcally boon running Government for him.
sell, after his own fashion, without aaking
tho approval OF tho Mayor, Council, Coz
poration Counsel, or any other branch Of The
City Government In anticipation of tho
deposition of Nj, CoLv1s, tho Comptroller
obtained the signature in blank 10 all papers
that ho thought he might have occasion to
uso, and therefore VEG wholly independent
as ho thought, Of tho now Mayor and Coun-
Gil.
On Monday morning hr. HAMS, in very
indecoroua and very oHonaivs publication,
under cover Of pretending to reply to an Ar
ticle In this paper, attacked tho message Of
the Mayor on tho financial policy, charging
that every person, especially the Mayor and
Common Council, who differed with him
was really IN favor Of population; and he
announced hia intention 10 have his own way
In tho management Of tho city finances.
There waa but one way 10 meet such m
issue, and that WAS to remove the insuborli-
nato officer, md tho change WIS accordingly
made.
Tha fact Is. tho Comptroller had become
an obstruction to the Government, He in-
Histed On doing business On theory Of his
own, and avery business man In the city was
fully aware that that sJstom must vt some
time or another break down. It is ques-
tion whether the city should stop tho Issue
Of certificates for old debts on the 1st OF
June OF Julyor tbs 1st Of home other month ;
whother tho city should issua three millions
Of scrip or tan millions OF scrip. Tho city

AUSTRIA AND TIE EASTERN QUESTION.

AUSTRIA AND TIE EASTERN QUESTION,
There is ono phase of tho Eas torn ques-
ton, 80 far as it affects tho rolatio,as of Tur-
koy to tho Gront Powers, which has not been
sufficiently considered, and which affords n
very conclusive reason why Austria has takon
such lively interest in the Horzegovinian
insurroction, and why sho has succeeded in
not involving horBoH in the contest. Every
step sho has taken has boon in favor Of a
compromise between tho Turks and their
Scla.io provinces, in tho intoroBts OF peace,
and in opposition to any increase Of Austrian
territory from the sc]avio provinces. The
reason for this has not been clearly apparent
to tho gonoral reader. Tho Hungarian popu-
1ation Is composed Of two distinct classes
Of people. the sclavos aud tho Mag
ynrs. Tho hlagyars IRE tho aristoc-
raoy Of Hungary, They arc the
landowners. They control the elective
franchise. They are represented in the Hun
garian Government. They aro tho ruling
class, bearing tho same relations to tho
sclAves ns tho English ruling class to tho
Irish. They are not the original peaaantry
Of tho country, but a mora recent xaco,
which cana into Hungary worry much aa tho
Turks came into Turkey, and from nearly
about four and half millions, and, a1-
though numerically inferior to tho sc1Aves,
being in about tho proportion Of two TO
three, yet they arc the literary, landed,
monoyed, and political class, and rule the
Sclaves by virtue OF this superiority,

Now, the operation Of this rulo in practice
is to forcs settlement Of t,1ne-trades on the

no longer disputed. The rule in practice has
been found unfair, since the shorts hare
it always in their power to break down the
Now York market and thusforce the "longs,"
or buyers, to sotlo on basis temporarily es-
tablished against them. But tho general sud
permanent effect Of the rule ia to keep down
tho Chicago pricea On level with tho New
York prices, which naturally follow Liver
pool, where the interest is in favor Of low
prices. Thus Liverpool, representing the
consumers, is constantly given An undue in
duence over Chicago, representing the pro-
ducers, in the fixing OF prices. The
farmers Of the Northwest arc constrained to
take the price which Liverpool offers, with
out any assistance Of tho dealers and ship
pera in Chicago in holding back tho grain
whom prices. azo too low. In other words,
tho 1nls operates always in tho interest Of
tho "bcars, or those whose interest prompts
them to depress the market, aud against the
"bulls," or thoas whoss interest prompts
them to strengthen the market. Now, the
interest Of the Northwest and consequently
Of Chicago, is identified with good prices for
all breadstutfs and produce, and any ruls
operating to depresa prices 1t Chicago Is an
injury to the Northwest, and;eonsequently
IN injury to Chicago. Thus, Il the ruling

As sequel to tho sad tragedy which recently

leading to the death OF the wife OF Commander smith,
put motion the only machinery in their control to
punish OF the persons who had boon implicated in
tho event The person alluded to happened to be
attached to the monitor Ajax, under the command OF
Commander T. H. Eastman. His fellow officers as
soon is correct statement OF the case had reached
them placed tho culprit coventry isolating him
vigorously that his position became uncomfortable, and
he attempted TO offer to tho Captain explanation
which ut dsingenuous and unsatisfactory
that 1t was worse than confession. Hc was promptly
told that his presence longer IN the navy would
not DO tolerated by bis fellow officers after
the double violation ofthe rules Of horor and dccency

time in accepting The resignation and the navy

whose conduct brought death and dishonor in once

The prompt and high toned manner in which the
officers OF the squadron vindcated tho honor Of Tho

his speedy and conclusive disgrace AS
