of your letter of the loth lustsnt, conveying to mo the
very flattering otter of the Controllcrstilp of this city.

O'GORMAN ADVISES THE MAYOR.
The foi lowing is (Corporation Counsel O'Uormsn's let?
ter to the Mayor, recdmiutntting him to reconnue Con?
nolly titi Controller de far lo If not de jure, and to cease
hit efforts to ou?t t hat official :
Omoa o? the Corporation Couhsel, I
N'EW-YoRk, Kept, l8, 1871. J
lion. A. Oakey ITall, Uayor?Dear Sir : I regret that
my absence from the city on Pu n da y hist prevented my
seeing you a? you desired. I hnve ?Ince then.carefully
examined the caw?, opinion? and memoranda submitted
by you as affecting your liiturc action In the matter of
the Office of Controller of the City of New-York. It
?eems to me that yon should 1* governed In the matter
more by consideration? of expediency and sonnd policy
than by those merely of strict legal right or power.
Even on the assumption that you clearly ponftosstue
power to remove a person holding that office, or that a
vacancy unquestionably existed, and that a new appoint?
ment mndc by you would be positively upheld by the
Court, there Is nevertheless, as yon Informed me, an an?
tagonistic claimant, who would have a right to appeal
from the decision of a ?ingle Judge against him, and who
would no doubt prosecute such an appeal.
The law's delay 1? proverbial and during the progre??
of the litigation, at a very critical period of the tintine hil
condition of the city, already compli. ated by one law?
suit and Injunction, there would be presented the indee
erous spectacle of two persons claiming to ho entitled to
the office of Controller, euch advised to defend his own
claim and contest that of his rival. From this state of
things ?great confusion would Inevitably ensue, and
great damnge to the city treasury, and to the public
creditor?, who would be seriously, and not unreasonably,
dissatisfied ut the delay which would be ?ure to occur lu
the payment of Just and legitimate claims.
If It had been your desire to bring about the accession
of a new Incumbent Into the office of Controller, you
seem to me to have exhausted every legal expedieut
that could have suggested Itself for that purpose, even
at the risk of some apparent inconsistency.
Under|all the circumstance?, therefore, and with tho
opinion of so eminent a Jurist as Charles O'Conor before
me, I cannot advise you at present to take mi;, step that
would lead to complicated and mischievous litlKation.
The refusal of Gen. MeClellan to accept the position of
Controller, of which I am Informed, 1? au additional rouson
for >ueh a conclusion on my part.
Legal discussion might, ss you Intimste, bring np ques?
tions of law which you think could not hu ve been pre?
vented to Mr. O'Conor'? consideration. Among them I
select from your memoranda these : Whether the Con- I
t roller, having power? and duUes conferred on bim by
many general laws, other than Uie laws of 1870 and 1871,
commonly called the ch?rter, and a? b member of varl
| ou? committee?, oan transfer these powers and duties to
a subordinate by virtue of a section lu au act which may
be regarded as a "local act," or whether that ?eetlon
may not l?e unconstitutional, In so far a? it permit? the
Controller to relinquish not only charter powers, but all
other powers, and whether an abdication of all func?
tions beyond and In od.lltlon Urthose embraced in the
charter section may not amount, tpto facto, to a restitu?
tion and create a vacancy.
These and various other questions ?nirge*ted to me are
no doubt open io discussion, and it Is I think apparent
that a legal contest in this matter must present novel
and important li-giil cousidi rutl M os to tho law of im?
plied resignation, vacancv, and removal, in addition tu
those which the eminent Jurist to whom 1 have referred
may have thought it necessary to advert in his opinion.
Hut returning to the question of expediency and sound
policy, which I think of urnst Importance in this case,
and lay ?in.- aside thee legal question? for the present, as
head of tho Law Department I now advise you not to
make another appointment, to withdraw your notice to
the various department?, and ?to ?treat with Mr. Connolly
a.-> Coutrolli r.
If you do not regard him as entitled to AU the office
de jure, by treating ?kia as Coutioller at least defacto
you will adopt a 00WH winch tolnjny opinion iiccesssry
to prevent financial difficulties and complications, and
the continuance of that pu idle confusion, excitement,
and sense of Insecurity win. h a prolonged legal contro?
versy In this case would inevitably intensify.
It should be lorne in mind al?*) Unit long 1>efore that
controversy could bo determined a new Legislators will
have ussembled, who will then be sble more calmly and
ii. lil?, ralely to consider any mutters connected with tin-.
ease which nmy lu-?iiopiily suliiultted fur their consid?
eration. I remain, dour Mir, yours faithfully,
Kuli lull O'UORMAN.
THE BIGHT MAN IN THK KIGUT PLACE.
The Evening Hail, which has warmly supported Gen.
Andrew II. Green from the bcginDiug, quotes from The
TumuNE the specific requirement? of the law which the
Controller Las hitherto systematically defied, and for
Instant obedience to which It calls upon the lieputy Con?
troller ; and adds :
" Fortunately, Mr. Green 1? an officer whose long ex?
perience In public affairs, strict ?cuse of accountability,
and thorough methods of doini: business make it impos?
sible that be should pursue any course les? satisfactory
to the honest and lut? liment ?tax-payers of this city than
that whioh is outlined by Tim Triuunk. The man who
now holds the keys of the City Treasury Is incorruptible,
uni. ????holl.it- ?to partisan or pemiAial considerations, Im?
movable by threats or bribe?, and honest tiy the very
constitution of his whole nature. He Is lust such a cus?
todian of the ti iianc-. aa it would have delighted Andrew
Jackson or Puns Wright to have honored ami trusted
without reserve, we ?peak thn? enthusiastically bc
nuuse we know the mau. His spotless'public record the
whole ooniinunity knows."

quasi Judicial sanction to the rumors which have been
rife In this city of gros? extravagance In some of tbe
bills presented by various contractors, and psJd to them
out of the fund? of the City, it has teemed to me proper
and nece*sary that some effective legal steps should be
taken by the Corporation to recover those moneys If
sufficient evidence of fraud can be obtained to sustain
action.
I have been so incessantly occupied for the last few
days In attending to office lru?lneM, writing opinion?,
Ac., Wbleh 1ms accumulated during my absence in court
on the Foley case, that I have not been sble to devote

THE GERMAN MOVEMENT.
THE REVOLT AOAINST TAMMANY A DELIBERATE
ONE LONG THREATENED?EFFORTS MAKING
liX THE KIN?> TO MOLLIFY THE GERMANS?
MNIIIUL1 SAID TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN
AWAY.
The Tammany politicians have endeavored
to convey the impression that the revolt of the Germans
was a sudden movement, unpremeditated and unpre?
pared for, and that It, like the reform movement of the
cltnena, wa? soon to " blow over." They have affected
to laugh at " this spasm of Teutonic virtue." Mayor
Hall has ridiculed it in The Leader, and his confidential
clerk, Mr. Phillp Huffman, li reported to have said lately
that "all will l>.< right on election day, when the Ger?
mans can be bought to vote the Tammany ttcket." It 1?
Incredible that any prominent person In tho employ of
the Ring should i e so Indiscreet as to talk in this man?
ner, and we are disposed to doubt the entire accuracy of
the rumor; but it Is not at all doubtful that the Ring
leaders boast that they have already ?secured the ad?
herence of most of the Germans who are Eighth Ward
delegates to the German Democratic Union Convention,
by put i iniiiiiK them with gift* of petty offices and small
einecur, ?. Wo do not believe that this boast Is true, but
it is certain thut Tammany leaders and adheronts assert
that the following named Elghtn Ward delegates to the
Convention hold office? ami enjoy sinecures. We give the
list that those thus slendered may justify themselves.

It is understood thst these gentlemen really held oflloes
I'l'fuii? the revolt took place. If true, this tact ?bows
that the movement is more serious than Tammany
would have u? believe, since It Is ?made by IU own office?
holders.
It ia certain, al?o, that the German dissatisfaction with
?i'.imiii.iii.v ilat.-n much further back than Is usually sup
posed. It liciiuu immediately after tho Full campaign of
18fi9, when Anthony Hartman was counted into the
J iidge-hip, although it wa? known that his opponent had
r?HM-ived the majority of votes cast. The Germans were
very indignant at this infamy on the part of Taniinauy.
The Germans uttered loud threats :it this time slamat
this system, by which they were robbed of tho right of
Suffrage.
At the election In May, 1870, many of the Germans
were still more dissatisfied, and did not vole; conse?
quently the Democratic malority In the city fell off
thousands of votes. After this election Peter B Sweeny
censured the leaders of the German Democracy for the
apparent apathy of the German Democrats. Mr. Mag?
nus Gross, amone others, replied to the charjre by In?
forming Mr. Sweeny that the Gormans felt that there
was no use of going to the polls If they were ?to have
their vote? snd voice discarded by Tammany Hall. To
con. iliate tho Germans positions and sinecures wire
given to a few who were loudest lu complaint.
Delays were 1.nun.: dangerous ; the German leaders
wire dally receiving complaints from their constituents
of their dissatisfaction with the course pursued by Tam?
many Hall, The German lead?rs,eiideiivorlug to concili?
ate their ci'iijitrymeii and to put the responsibility
where it properly lieloiiged, sent some of these persons
who desired a reform to Tweed and Sweeny; but this did
not effect a cure for the disease, for these Ocrmiins, after
waiting hours and day? to seo the Ring leaders, were
obliged to leave without au audience, and, tin re fore,
more dissatisfied than ever.
Leading ??crinum, tlien called personally upon Peter B.
Sweeny in behalt of the Gorman Democracy, to de
miinil the right? due them, aud declare that li a certain
guarantee of a reform In the acts of Tammany Hull was
not pursued, they would not be able to retain them in
the Democratic ranks. Shortly after this Interview a
few concessions were made to the Germans, but these
were not what the German leaders required to satisfy
their constituents. After the success of the Democratic
ticket In the city and State last Fall, Sweeny, Tweed,
Hall, and Connolly became indifferent to these clamor?,
and were bold and defiant In words and deeds.
Mag nu.? Gross and others warned them that If they did
not adopt a more liberal policy, they would be unable
longer to influence the German? for tho benefit of the
Democracy. Shortly after this Mayor ?Hall ?became a
member of the Board of Health in accordance with an
act passed by the last Legislature ; upon hi? secoud visit
to that Board, Mr. Gross embraced tbe op?
portunity In the presence of the entire Board
to state the outrages complained of by the
Germana and warned Hall against tbe headstrong
course which was being pursued. Hall was plainly told
that although Tammany would not be hampered wltb a
registry Uw or united State? Marshals at the polls. It
must respect public opinion, and that If at the next Fall
election the Democrats executed their practice of repeat?
ing and counting people ?In offloe wtoo wero not elected,
an indignation meeting would be called, and be partici?
pated In by tbe Germans, to secure to every dUsen a
free ballot. The leaders of Tammany beean? alarmed
at tbe murmurs of the Oermaas even before tbe charge?
of corruption were made against Hall and Connolly, and
?he leading German Democrat? were sent tar to attand a
private consultation, at which the former prom?
ised that they would respect their advice, and
that Tammany Hall would do everything to
merit the support and good-will of the Germana The
Gunnan? resolved to remain quiet until the return of the
politicians fsom tbe vsrlons water tng-p.lacee,t? see If they
would act In good faith. They resolved that Tammany
should not hoodwink them this Fall, as they did last
year, by giving out offloes one month previous to elec?
tion, and immediately thereafter rescinding the appoint?
ment under the cry of retrenchment in public expendi?

THE COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY.
ANDREW U. GBEEN INDORSED?CONGBATU
LATOKY RESOLUTIONS.
About ?M members of the Cidr-ent*?' Execu?
tive Committee of Seventy ssscmhled yesterday at noon
In the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, Henry O.
Stebbins presiding and Barclay Gallagher acting as fae
retiiry. The subject of the appointment of Andrew H.
Green as Deputy Controller was st once broached. Ed?
wards rierrepont sustained the action of Controller Con?
nolly in the appointment of Mr. Green, and asserted that
the ronditlon of the city finances bad long called for de?
cided action on the part of the citizen?. The peculations
and general knaveries of the Ring were bow so flagrantly
evident as to demand Instant Investigation and remedy.
No surer means of accomplishing this could be Instituted
under present circumstances than the appointment of
Andrew II. Green, who was celebrated for his integrity
snd who for years has possessed the implicit confidence
of tbe people both as to probity and capacity. He had
for many years filled some of the most responsible posi?
tions In local government As Chief of the Central Park
Commission his course had excited universal commenda?
tion. He was Just the man to have charge of tbe city ac?
counts, and from his knowledge of municipal and finan?
cial affairs be could not easily be Imposed upon.
No politician, lawyer, or merchant could take exeep
tion to Mr. Green. He bad always been Identified with
the dominant local party, and was consequently a Demo?
crat. Therefore, Democrats could not object to bim on
the ground that be was a Republican. More than all, be
was a man from whom a truthful report of the affairs of
the city would be received, and be must be sustained at
all hazards. Mr. Plcrrepont also intimated that any
attempt to remove Mr. Green would be the cause of
revolution among the long-suffering citizens of Now
York.
The following resolntions, offered hy Mr. Spaulding,
weie then unanimously adopted :
Resolved. That we congratulate the citizens and tax?
payer? of the City of New-York upon the appointment of
Andrew H. Green to the offloe uf Deputy (.'out fuller, for
the asaursnoe It gives of au honest and intelligent ad?
ministration of the fiiisnces of the city in the lnunediatte
future.
Result ed, Thiit If the Mayor In hls'prcsent request for
the r?siliation of Mr. Connolly was actuated by a desire
to fill his place with a man of fitness and fidelity, ho
could not Lave mado s happier choice than the selection
of Mr. Green, so well known to the community for his
until less ititi ?.-rit v und iible and honest management of
the public trusts heretofore confided to him.
Hctatrrtl, That we call uputi all good citizen? hy their
morai support to sustain Mr, Andrew II. Groen in his
present poiltlon a? guurdlan of the public funds of the
city.
Retolted, That the committee will aid Mr. Green pe
cunlarly and by counsel to the extent of our power in all
lawful wiivs to sustain the position In which, fortunately
for the people, be has been placed la this trying epoch of
our municipal affairs.
The following Committee wa? appointed to wait upon
Mr. Green in the afternoon and present him with the
abo vu resolutions, neatly engrossed : Simon Stern, Ed?
wards Plerrepont, Jackson 6. Schultz, Robert B. Koose
velt, Thoms? A. Ledwlth, H. G. Stebbins, William F.
Ila*, i meyer, and H. D. Hatch. The Commute.? appeared
at the Controller'? office between 3 and 3 p. m. Mr.
Stebbins, the Chairman of the Committee, In presenting
the resolutions, ?poke as follow? :
Mr. Gbbbm : I tun Intrusted with tbs gratifying duty of
present lui* to you the resolutions paused this day at a
meeting of citizens who represent the meeting held at
the Cooper Institute Sept. 4, and known as tb? Citlsens'
Committee of Seventy. Those resolution? and the ac?
tion of the Committee to-day have in-own out of your
late ii|?|ioliit mont as Deputy Controller, and the very
deep interest felt bv your fellow-eltleens lu your ?elec?
tion for the responsible duties of that ofh.e.
It is a source of ?Teat satisfaction to me personally,
knowing you as well as I do, to he made the mullum tir
stating to you the oordial aud earnest unanimity with ,
which these resolution? were passed, testifying, as tbeyr
do, to the high opinion entertained by your ?*ellow-?lti
zens of your great ability and unimpeachable Integrity,
demonstrated In many important and highly onerous
public ilni li?. Nothing, I am sure, would have been
more grateful to yon had you been present aud wlt
iii'?-"ii th'-ne unqualified evidence? of the estimation lu
which you are held by men of both political parties.
Mr. Green responded in fitting terms, ?tatlng thnt he
would try to deserve the confidence that had been re?
posed In him by the citizens of New-York.

Seventeenth Ward Shannon Association. A motion
bavlng been passed that the number of delegates be in?
creased to seven, four names from each Ward were added
to the list. Mr. Everett wa? then called to the stand,
and ?aid :
It 1* perhsps bad ta?te for a conntrrrosn and personal
friend of Mr. -Connolly to begin his defense, but the few
conspirators who have turned on him desirve nothing at
the hands of the Democracy. Our city is a disgrace In
the eyes of people In every part of the globe. What has
brought this shame upon us1 I answer: the duplicity
and cunning of the Mayor of New-York. [Loud and
long continued hisses and groans.) Connolly ha? stood
by and defended him and his clique. Assuming that
they were rascals, did be ever peach on themt No!
Because they were knaves and be was hone?t, they have
turned on him, but their game will recoil on tbeir own
heads. Hall'? friend? bave a rime for the neck of Con?
nolly, but the people will tate tam *ope and with it draw
the otu- of Connolly through the streets in triumph.
There la no Judiciary which can stifh the opinions of the
people, and no matter how false the City anthoritle? are
to them, tbry poetaras the power to eon-ect the evtl.
Mr. Connolly na? given the people bl? eonelusi-se answer.
He would retire only wita honor, and he will come out
of tills orUU with clean ?ktrts. Ict,,,*r*'-1 _ , ?
Mr. ?Govert said: I ?ustsin Controller Connolly for hi?

seven Senators and fourteen members of the House.
At the meeting to-morrow, the sub-committee will
make a report of their operations, and it will be de?
