If Connolly rotated to facete bit office la ?iibedleaca to

policemen, woatd take forcible peetetelini of it, tlio ox
cUeatent thowed iteelf in angry prawle, and la threnta
that, if tmeb anuttempt vas iniiile, force would be met

Ktneral, auil to oppotc him, in rete tit ?lil attempt any

Tn i-pcakriif? ol' Mayor llall't aetinnln regard lo Con?
troller Connolly, a very prominent official of the Ulfltcd
.States District-Attorney'?, alli?e said: "1 have l* in look?
ing at the law in the eaee, and I aui sati-ilcd that the
Mayor'? power of appointing the Controller dees not
erny wita It the power of rcmo*n?1, for the reaeon that
the law prorldct fur the removal of that ofltoer by im
peachment, and by Impeachment only. Theroforo the
Mayor's legal course la to Impeach the Controller before
the proper tribunal." Paid another old and prominent
official of the United Pt.itf s Courts : "I do u't understand
what Mayor Hall meant. A few dave airo ho enid,
officially, that, under the law, he had no power to re?
move the Controller; and now he Issues, an order remov?
ing him. I thiL?1' there inu.-t be some Uulh in the story
that b? Is insane,"
A member of one of the aMc?t law firms In the city ex?
pressed the followliiif opinion concerning the power of
the Mayor to remove the Controller i " I'lulcrthe princi?
ple of law, dmigiidtio unius exelusio u'.tcreus, tho
Mayor cannot remove the Controller, The law aperlflea
the manner of his removal, and He Mayor cannot legally
act outside of that specification."
Said a llfe-lui % acquaintance of P. J. Tilcb n't! " How
plain you can see Tilden's hand In lins last move to
thwart Hall. Ile saw that Tweed, Sweeny, Hall, lind
oiher coirupt uieiiilreis of the'Kiiip' Intended to sacri?
fice not only Connolly, but the Democratic party, to
cover np their own crimes, and he did not propose that
it thonld be done. He Is au honest ni. n, and a lenget*
ht aded nan than Twi ed, and now that he Las jui?ad in
the flgbt, he a ill i cat him m th? emL"
Ooieerntng Connolly'? peraittency in retaining pos?
session of his cfliie, the uimost enantmottt optaban was :
1 If Connoliy is lanocent of tho charg?e of corni]itioa
made Bgalntt him,lie must,in sclf-dclcnse, remain where
he Is. If he is nulty, he owes if to tin- imbin- not to turu
over his (?fllce to any one until he has made all the repar?
ation in his power. The opinion that the Controller had
1? si tu do than Tweed and Hall in plundering tte City
Tioat-uiy rapidly Rained eye-nad, and, by crimina, ho
stood,in the estimation of the public, ?i uiok- honett, and
a ?tranger niau than cither of tlie iii.
Alar.*?? crowd aleo collected, early in the day. In and
around the Mayor't dillie to find out, if possible, what
ho waa poins: to do In the present cr?ala, Col. Jolino n
ceived them with mon lhan his tunal urbanity, and in
reply to their proving qnt-ttiona aald, "1 don't know;
the Mayor will bo doun at 3 p.m., ?nd you must ask
Lim.'' Tli< se aatwertsoon dltperaed Hie crowd: but at

ANTI-TAMMANY DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL
ROOdETKLT AND Illa PAKTT ItKTIRK?TWEED
HOMING CONTENTION AMONG Ula EXEMIE?.
Tlio movemeut by tho Dt-mocraoy opposed
to Taininany rule to overthrow tho lUng and establish
a purer Democratic City Governmeut has experienced
according to rumors and appearance?, the. forco of tho
miers' power. A secret meeting of Democrats
pledged to orpose Tammany was called for last
night at Apollo Hall, Twcnty-eighth-st. and Broadway.
At 8 o'clock, about 150 prominent Democrats from all
quarters of the city woro In tho hall holding conversa?
tions in groups in different parts of the room. From
these conversations It could bo Judged that fears wen) '
entertained that somo trap had been lalil by Tain?
many to catch tho Reformera, and at tho close
of tho ?eettaf it teemed as if such wus really
the case. When Mr. Nooney called the meeting to order
there were present, among others, the following men of
political note i Judge ilarrott, Samuel C1. Courtney, D.
M, Koehler, John Laudornian, 0. (. Allen, O. W. Mofl?an.
Itaibert Ii. Roorevclt, Geo. A. Barney, Win. A. Boyd,
Juitge Blxby, Leander Huele, J. Y. Pavage, Peter Mitch?
ell, Owen Murphy, ex-Sheriff O'Brien, and Ben. Wood.
Mr. Nooney explained that tho meeting was called to
organize a Democratic party opposed to Tammany Hall
and the Klug which had crushed pooplo of overy nation*
ality and political faith, aud proposed Samuol G. Court?
ney as Chairman of the assemblage. Mr. Courtney wat
elected, took his place on tho ttaud, and in his address
said that he hail attended the meeting with the express
purpose of lending all his aid to the project of destroying
th" Km ?, nMl est ibli?hing in tim placo of our present
rulers nu n ti ho would not bo dishonest, nor countenance
dishonesty in others, Mr. Courtney then denounced tho
frauds of the Taminuny Hing, and said that he held that
the meetlug thould act promptly in putting into the field
a party vi hieb should overthrow Tuinniaiiy rulo. Mr.
Noouey followed Mr. Courtney, and, after expressing his
couciirreiico In Mr. Courtney's denunciation of Tuin
ii'.any Hall, moved that a committee of one from
each ward thould be appointed as a Commit?
tee on Organization. Mr. Roosevelt immediately
said that he had been Invited to attend the nieeiing with
ins fra ntl?, ami, as a committee, to consult with those
opposed to Tainniauy Hall on the best means of bringing
about Its downfall. He IhOOght that the Irtt duty was
to consolidate i V4Ty oiit.-ule element, and make a party
strong enough to cope with the nuu against
whom the operatlon-i of tho puro Dcmo'-r.iey
were to be directed. Tin re were four great 'Democrat?
ic organizations Ito bo consolhlated, the Democratic
I'uion, to which the speaker belongeii, the Mozart Union,
the Letlwlih jiartv, tad the Young Democracy, and he
suggested as an amendment to Mr. Noomy's motion to i
have a committee of twelve, three members to be ap?
pointed by the leading members of each of the partiet
named. Ile prapoaed that Atnliew II. Oreen should
appoint ihn e, Jielge Leilwilh three, Mr. O'Brien three,
and Hine should be appoiuted by himself as leader of
the Demi" r.itic Cnlon. Nooney, O'Erien, McLean, and
Hut se all objected stiennou-ly to this arrangement.
Mr. i'ooney laid peculiar stress on the facts that In the
Hist place lb? proposition of Mr. Roosevelt was not Dem
oiraiii, ard. in the nest place, it iuslnuati-d a lack of
loiiUilence In the cli.i.rinaii. Mr. Roosevelt nrgiiedthe-e
jsjints for half au hoar with the perrins above named,
and during this argiimeut tho quef-tioii was
raited as to the prevailing eli incuts of the assemblage.
On Mr. Booterelt't side it was m lint aiuetl that ;ho
Yoiiu^- Democracy were striving for the supremacy, and
the speakers of the lutter clique held that they were not
much la the majority, and that even if tin y were, Hnlr
only object was to oppose Tammany. While Mr. Courtney
was explaining his iuti ntlons, five young men enteied
the room led by Tetcr Mitchell of the I.lghth Ward. Be
said that a meeting of Lcdwith men had just been
held at the Sinclair House, Broadway and Kighih
st., and that a split had occurred, but that be and bis
'rienits rcprr-entcl Judge Ledwlth'a party. Mr. Roose?
velt again spoke anil ssld that if he and his friends
found that tho meeting was auythiug else than a
caucus held to bring together all outside
lim,,.?. >n? i a ck-tiit-nt? iii.'I lianil thi'iii against
Tammany Hall, be wa* niist.ikon. The call of "ipiestion"
brought Ihe matter to a erith. Mr. Courtney took tho
vote on the appolutmeiit of a Committee of ono from
each Ward, at a Committee of Organization, and it was
tai ried. Mr. Roosevelt rose from his scat, and. calling
on hu fi leude, at anea retired willi tlhiu ; but lieforo
they readied the door, Mr. Courtney declared
the meeting adjourned at the call of the Chair.
Mr. Roosevelt went in search of .Tuilg? Ledvilth to in?
duce him to define his p.silii ii, but failed to and lum.
It was the general ?pinion of Demo, rata, not of the
O'Hrlen partv, that Tweed, through O'Brien, had ob
taiuid control of the meeting, and that the
Young Denn? racy had lieeu used by Tweed
us instruments to overcome. any opposition
to Tamiuaiiv from Deinoerut*. It I? also ausp*eet? a flint
Millhill anil his "committee " of bolters fmm tho Lad
willi partv viere suit by O'Brien to the caucus at tho
eiuclalr Boute to ?ote proceedings, and then appear in
the Apollo Hall uicetiiig and anticipate any real commit?
tee of Judge Ledwlth'a ailhereut?. Mr. BuOMTelt'a
f rienits are to mi el the Led with yal ty on next Thursday,
and arrange for future movement?.
Mi. R4i?m veil liiiti with him at tbe Apollo Hall about
.? lueu, in a littl. over ouc-tbiid el tua total numbet at

to perceive that they have awakened?certainly not too
Mon?to a aeaaa of their civil duty. Tho despotism of

political cowardice of decent peoplo in New-York, and,
If the matter la to bo mended even now, the citizens

it may be, to face danger. Rut for this necessity they

of Um taxes, tho control of tho D?mocratie
Party In tho State, Would never hovo fallen
into the hand? of tho mon who now poasCM them. But.
?o far, the unechte! haa been done, and we aro afraid It
will ti^o a great deal more vigoroua protestation than
can bo embodied In a few speeches at a public meeting
to oust the leaders of the Tammany Rlug from their posi?
tion. It will require a Herculean effort, undertaken with
determined courage, to heavo off this In; uhus from the
richest, the most urogreaaive, an,<X tho mobt populous
Stat? of the Colon,
Unfortunately, the system of/?ration cn?ts tho entire
fiurden on realized property, and the floating musses, the
Irish immigrant?, and the loafers of every country have
a direct Inducement to enlist uuder tho banner of Tam?
many Ball, to'ont-vote ami, If needful, coerco the tox
j.aiers. These have hitherto evidently thought It the
netter policy to succumb; but till? principle
of bending to every breeze may he carried
too far. The position of person? who have either
property or ctniraoter 1? fast ?becoming unendur?
able in New-York. If the rule of the Tammany despots
is tolerated much longer, trade and enterprise will leave
the " Empire City," and prosperity W?I follow trade and
enterprise. Already the corrupt policy of the King,
which sanction? or organize? the most outrageous extor?
tions on vessels during the quarantine ?eason lu the pelt
of New-York, 1? driving commerce to other quarters.
Bren the greatest natural advantage? cannot he weighted
Indefinitely with burdens of extortion and corruption, ai
the people of New-York will find, unies?, ?bauing off
social terrorism and political bondage, they exhibit a de?
termination at the next election? to get rid for ever of
tho domination which now oppresses them.
TUE OULIGATION3 OF EDrCATION, WEALTH, AND
KKSFE?TABILITY.
From Tke London lietel, 1th foti.
TTow does the atat<i of things which allows of
Miese enormous ?.vstematlzed'frauds ?become a possibility
In a free community like New-York 1 Obviously, lu the
first Instance, because New-York 1? governed by uni?
versal suffrage and Is flooded with Ignorant Immigrant?
who can obtain votes after a very abort residence. Rut
this 1? only telling ut that a robber ormedwlthaplst.il,
und having no one to oppose him, can easily take pome?
slun of your purse. The question is, how carne he by
the weapon, and the certainty of Impunity 1 Huw caine
Tweed and his friend? into possession of this power I
Tbe only true answer mu.'t be, we fear, because of tho
apathy and ludlflVreuee of tim educated and roi-pectablo
citiZ'-n? of New-York. The typical hu?lness man of Wall?
st, and Fiith-ave. takes no more Interest in municipal
p.nltics und partie? than ho does In ihe battling of the
rats in the ?ewers. Ho I? liunieraed lu buauicas, and
cares only for bush es?.
Hut if the men who ought to guide the action of New
York municipal life are indifferent and disdainful, they
eau hardly woudor that the Tweed? end Sweeny a colite
In und make tlio most they can. one essential condition
to the proper working of universal suffrage, especially in
a etty with stn h a raw foreign element as New-York mi?
ndi?, is, that eviry honest and respectable mau shall
stick to hi? duty, give his vote, and do-hi? ?beat to keep
up a si.uni ami nctlvo publie opluion. The education
?ml respectability of New-York can put thirim right ?r
they only will It, and act patiently and resolute!v In that
direction. Hut so lung a? respectante mou decline to op?
pose ?Mr. Tweed, ?? long of course win Mr. Tweed ne
happy to enrich burnell unopposed. The moral of the
whom story Is, not that universal ?"iitTrnge nrrrm?rtir on
