and rapport hundreds of thriving communities, while
the central anti western counties are In the Infancy

A HARD WRESTLE FOR THE DOCUMENTS.
The cause of the unpleasantness and the
" scenes" that made the proceedings memorable
was the flat refusal of the Mayor to produce cer?
tain letters sent by him to Governor Hill. He
made a stubborn fight on this point?for principle,
ho declared, and not for private reasons. Even
alt' r "* liiliy"" Sheehan, who had astonished nearly
everybody by coming out ns tho Goverbor's mouth?
piece in regard to this matter, and had given the
Major thc Governors permission to make thc let?
ters public. Mr. Hewitt would not hoar of it, and
it was only when Senator Fassett. by a stroke of
strategy, managed to have the totten produced
and pead bf -Mr. Nie.;]! through Mr. Sheehan, that
the Mayor was simd from the certainty of bein j
reported to the Senate for contempt.
(his was in th*- afternoon session, and Mavor
Hewitt was already in danger of that proceeding,
because thc committee had united in demanding
the letters. Mr. Nicoll attempted to examine the
witness with a view apparently to bringing out
that lie was withhclding the lett-rs of his own free
will. General Tracy objected and tho chairman
ruled tho whole line of evidence out of order. Mr.
Nicoll insisted on his privilege le cross-cvamin
and .hereupon Senator Fassett abruptly adjourned
the committee till this morning. ?o that Senator
Hendricks might attend and vote.
Everything was immediately in confusion. Ths
retiring audience was arrested by informal speech
making from the Senators' bench and tho counsel?
lors' chairs, and al! resumed their scat, when they
heard Mr. Nicoll declare that ho had the letters in
his possession. Tho committee was reconvened,
and the letters were read. Here they are:
