JAMES DAILY on THE COALITION.

James DAILY, whose nomination Tor DOCK
Comuiso was rejected, when asked for his opinion
concerning the action of the Aldermen expressed be-
lief that il would not be good taste for him 10 say
anything in view of his defeat. The coalition Of Tam
many politicians with the Republicans was most lu-
dicrOus, he said, more especially when viewed III the
light of their denunciation last Fall Of the coalition
of the ADti-Tummany party with the Repupl-
cans. Nothing was so immoral in their eyes
then. but now, the presentation OF the
first opportunity TO do the very thing they had SO Loudly
condemned they jumped at it, Tammany men would do
ANYTHING TO defeat Tlden-abandon al their principles
if necessary This last "dcal." however, was one
which reputable Republicans would repudiaie in
short time as heartily Tilden Democrats now did IL
was in fact a combination Of machine politicians on
both sides ana would dissolve the emergency
which brought il into eXistCnce over.
Mr. DAILY did not believe that Mayor COOperS usefu-
ness was destroyed because there yet time for him
10 rerace his steps If Mayor Cooper had accepted bis
advice the vacancies tie Police Board could nave
been filed last January instead Of being delayed until
after May when matters became complicated by the
necessity OF filing other vacancies at the same time
OF conrse he would have been pleased II Ms noniua
non had been confirmed, bat hc not an applicant
for the position Mayor Cooper urged the acceptance
OF the nomination Oh him, and he consented.

An appeal from the report of the referee III
the suit OF George II. Checyer administrator OF william
W Checyer against DE Il. Lamar executor of Gazoway
b. Lamar, argued before the Supreme Court, General
Term yesterday, recalled the circumstances OF sut
involving several hundred thousand dollars. While the
rebellion was in progress, william W. Cheeyer, now
dead formed a partnership with G.. b. Lamar and
Charles = Lamar, Tor the purpose Of buying cotton in
the Southern States. The Lamars were to supply the
capital. CheeYcr to do the purchasing, and the
profits were be divided equally. Large quantities Of
cotton were bought and stored In Savannah and other
Southern ciues la 1868 Cheeyer died, and the cotton
remained In the places where it stored until the
close Of the war. AZ seized then by tic Federal
Government, and several months after the proclama-
ton Of peace sent to this city amt sold publicly by

an offset tho claim of Cheeyer ~ TINS suit. The mat
