COMPTROLLER OF THE TREAsURY-A FOR.
NAL GooD-BYE ALL AROUND.
Tho Office Of the Second Comptroller Of the
Treasury was the scene yesterday of very
interesting proceedings. According to pre-
vious arrangements tho employees of the office
assembled in Mr.. Stevens room for tho pur-
pose Of bidding formal farewell to Governor
Carpenter the retiring Second Comptroller.
Mr.. Dclano, the Deputy Comptroller, addressed
Governor Carpenter stating the object Of the
meeting rs being for the purpose of presenting
u resolution which had been adopted at pre-
vious meeting OF the clerks, and saying good
bye to their much beloved chief
Mr.. Stevens then addressed tho Governor
expressing the deepest regret at bis retirement
from tho Office he has 50 satisfactorily held
and wished, on behalf of the entire Office q
bright future for him. Tho following rcsolu-
ton was then presented to Governor Carpen-
ter:

| prosperity and success.
Doctor d. q. Green, who read the resolution
followed 1t with a few appropriate remarks
Governor Carpenter in receiving tho rcsolu-
tion advanced and electrified the company by a
most fclictious reply. This was of considerable
length, and came from full heart, when
suffice 1t 1t to say, the eloquence and pathos
with which this admirable speech was inter.
sper,cd, only embraced the esteem In which
the Governor has always been held, and excit.
ed the admiration Of his hearers.
At the conclusion, Governor Carpenter In.
trOduced all the attaches of tho office to Judge
Upton, who together with Senator Mitchell
and Col Saunders, of the War Department
subsequently took leave of each one per-
sonally, amid feeling of the most profound
regret at the severance Of the uncommonl,
happy relation.
