Butler's Triumphant Progress In Mas? sachusetts-Alarm or the Silk Stocking Republicans. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT ] NEW YORK, September 20, Tbe municipal gale bas subsided, and tbe waters are going down. Mayor Hall found his position untenable, and taking advantage of the advice of Corporation Counsel O'Gorman, hus backed completely out. The situation at this writing is that Connolly remains nominal comptroller; Andrew H. Greene is nominal deputy, but virtual comptroller, and is in pos? session ol the office. O'Gorman, as the head of the law department, is about to Institute suns against the Courthouse contractors to test tjjhe validity of their accounts; and Hali, Tweed and Sweenv are walting for the next move ol the enemy. Mr. Sweeny has gone off to his country residence In Westchester County; the Mayor sticks to routine business at the City Hall; and Tweed may be found, smiling and imper? turbable, at his desk in the department of pub? lic work?. The citizens are now anxiously awaiting the result ot Mr Greene's Investigations In the Comptroller's office. Greene is an honest, prac tlcal and clear headed business man, and possess the entire confidence of the cora mutiny. We may be certain that ail the/acts I ? about ihe alleged swindles will be rooted up1 oupwand made known. The citizens' committee o'f ^^Teventy are in dally consultation with Greene. Anolhi-r investigation is being made by the Joint aldermanie supervisors and citizens' -committee. It ls certain, therefore, that everything the 'Ting" has done in the past four years will be laid bare. The Republican a members of the ring will be exposed equally f with the Democratic triumvirate. TLere has been some lively political eau- ( cussiug wiinin the past few days. It Is evi- ( dent to the country Democrats that something t must be done at once to rid the party ot re- f sponsibility for the Tammany leaders, or the State will be lost In November. There have been lroquent consultations at the house of \ Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, chairman of the Dem- ( ocratic State central committee, In Grammer- ( ty Park. It ls understood that the conclusion ? has been reached to cut loose from Tweed <fc \ Co., and repudiate them in the Stale Conven- | lion. If they send delegates they will not be t admitted. There was a conference meeting t of the leaders of the several anti-Demo- t eratic factions on Monday night. The Ger- j man Democrats, the Democratic Union Sam. the Young Democracy and the [oz?rt Democrats were represented. Among the politicians present were Congressman Roosevt-lr. ex-Congressman Ben Wood, and 3-Sheriff Jimmy O'Brien. It was resolv? i? form a coalition against Tammany and 1 try conclusions with it at the coining fall elec- 1 tlon. It is probable that if these factions J merge '-.to a compact party their delegates will be .(.xognized as regular by the State Con-11 ?entlon. 1 ' The Democrats are not alone in having In- 11 ter nal troubles. The Republican State Con vention meets at Syracuse next week, and a 1 furious struggle is going on all over the State j between the Grant-Conkling and Greeley-Fen- 1 ton factions lo elect a majority of the delegates. 1 So far. most ot the county conventions In the lnteaior have quarrelled and split on the Fen? ton vs. Conkllng issue, and lwo seis of dele-1 j gates have been chosen. This city will send two hostile delegations to Syracuse. The I C/eeley city conventions were held last Satur- ( ^day night, and the Grant conventions last J Anight. Across the river, In Brooklyn, the ' office-holders, in their zeal to secure the 5 Sings County delegation for Grant, have actually formed an alliance with the heavy whiskey distillers, who are pouring out money like waler for the cause, the distilleries in the meantime running tull blast. The Tribune and Times, as the representatives of the two factions, are calling each other very bad < names, and showing up the rascalities of lead- < ere on the opposite sides. The Tribune to- ( day devotes itself to an excoriation of Grant's c friend. Collector Murphy. I It would not be strange if there was an ac- I tuai riot in the Syracuse Convenlion. Al last t year's convenlion ihe factions came to blows, I and ihe feelings of bitterness and anger are 1 more intense this year than last. Whichever j crowd succeeds in controlling the convenlion, < the other will be dissatisfied, and a separate convention is probable. The prospects are that the Graut men will triumph. The Demo? cratic State Convention will be held at Roches? ter on Wednesday of tte following week. The only matter of difference will be the method of dealing with the Tammany leaders, and, aa I bave belore remarked, they will probably be thrown overboard. I learn lhat it is on the elate io nominate a German to head the ticket. The most prominent German Democrat In the State is Oswald Ottendorffer, publisher of the Staats Zeitung, and perhaps he will be the man. The ticket must necessarily be a strong .one, for the Democrats will have a harder fight to keep their supremacy this year than over before. An effort will be made to induce Charles O'Connor, the head of the bar in New "York, to accept a place ou tbe ticket aa candi? date for attorney-general. In our neighboring Slate of Massachusetts the political cauldron literally seethes. Butler is vigorously stumping the State in every di? rection. He speaks every night, and ovu." times In the afternoon as well. His meetings are always attended by tremendous audiences and he is invariably received with the wildest enthusiasm. Al Fall River the mob almost devoured him. His style of oratory is taking with thc half-educated element. He ls brazen boastful and aggressive; he hesitates at no He, no matter how preposterous; be tears to pieces the purest repu tat io us In the State; he orags about himsell incessantly, and predicts his election; he defies his enemies; he threatens to bolt the convention il be is not nominated These ingredients make a spicy speech. The general is a consummate actor, too. On se ve ral occasions, when alluding to the slander ?circulated by his enemies that his father was Chuged tor piracy, his voice faltered, and he pretended to burst into tears. ''Thank God," he exclaimed, In a choking voice andthowingoce of his eyes up to the ceiling, "my mother died last year." The alarm amcDg the respectable Republi? cans at the pron ress Butler is making In the State ls taking the shape of a panic. The Re? publican press, with only a few unimportant exceptions, ls frantically opposed to Butler. The Springfield Republican declares that if Butler receives the convention nomination his opponents in the party will defeat him at the polls. The Boston Journal says the nomina? tion of Butler will be equivalent to the election of Adams. The danger of Butler's triumph at Worcester has increased so rapidly that Har? vey Jewell withdrew from the canvass last week in favor ot ex-Congressman Bice, so as to close up the opposition columns, and Sena? tors Sumner and Wilson have been induced to come out publicly and declare that the nomi? nation of Butler would Jeopardize the best in? terest of the party In the State and nation. The convention will be held on Wednesday, the 27th instant. It will be very lively. At Fall Biv-r, Butler announced that he would bolt It the -e was any attempt made to cheat him out of the nomination. Of course he will say there was cheating, If he talia. It is under? stood that he will continue to be a candidate under any circumstances. M M. -Virir corro.v RECEIPTS.

Latest Incidents of the War on the Ring. The New York papers continue to be laden with fact?, rumors, interviews and specula? tions connected with the great municipal re? form squabble now in progress in that city. The Sun gives the following account of the de. tection cf the burglars who stole and destroyed THE MISSING VO0CHER?. Edwin M. Hagerty 13 the Janitor of the new counhouse. He lives In ihe courthouse, and Dis wile has lor a long time kept a vegetable stand In Washington market. Their rooms lu the courthouse are on the second floor above tne Comptroller's office, and Immediately above the Common Pleas court-room. They occupy four rooms, splendidly furnished by Ingersoll <fc Co., at the ?-spense ol the city. On Sunday morning, September 10. Mary Con? way, a servant employed by Mrs. Hagerty, who Blept In one of these rooms with Mrs. Hagerty's child, awoke between six and seven o'clock. While she was endeavoring to quiet the child she heard the slamming of a door, followed by a crash. She got up in her nightclothes, und went out into the corridor. Hearing a noise, she went down two flights of stairs to the floor below, and saw Charles Baulch, the head watchman, knocking at a door and calling for Murphy, another watchman. She noticed ihal the door of the auditor's room was open. She then went back to her room, and beean to dress herself. Mrs. Hagerty came into the apart? ment, and told her thal li was early and lhat she had better not be in a hurry aboul gening up. She answered that as long as elie was up she might oswell dress herself, uud Mrs. Hay erty lett. THE ROBBERS. Alter she was dressed she went down stairs a second time and saw Mr. Hageny coining] out ot the auditor's office with his nrms full ol papers, and Charles Baulch holding the door open. These papers she described as being thick bundles, and lied wilh black ribbon or tape. Mr. Hazerty brought them up stairs and threw them into the range. Mrs. Hagerty made the remark that these were some old papers that Ed. was burning. She then went io lier room. Soon afterward, going out lu the hall to get a scuttle of coal, she saw a man going down stairs with a pillow-case filled with similar bundles. Baulch was acting os con? ductor to the man, who didn't seem lo know lils way out ot the building. Soon afterward she noticed the corridor full of smoke, and went Into the kitchen. The walls were black? ened with smoke, and are blackened to this day. She lound the range Jammed with docu? ments which had not been torn from their bundles. They were packed so tight that they would not burn. Mrs. Hagerty stood In front of the range raking them out with a po? ker and endeavoring to reduce them to ashes. She complained lo Miss Conway of the mess they made. She alterward saw Mrs. Hagerty take three or tour palls of burned papers from the range and empty them on a pile of ashes in the attic. Miss Conway bad no Idea bul what everything was all right. She was not eren suspicious that anything was wrong. On the following day, however, she learned of the robbery In the comp? troller's office. She made up her mind that Mr. Hagerty and Mr. Baulch were the robbers, and on Tuesday evening intimated as much to Mrs. Hagerty. The latter asked her what she had seen, and she told her. She then urged her to keep still, and threatened beril shu should tell mn budy what she had seen. Meanwhile Mr. Hagerty had gone to Saratoga, in company with one of the police commission? ers. He returned on Wednesday night. His wile told him what Mary Conway lind seen. On Thursday morning he went to Miss Conway and told her that he did not want her to tell any of the old men or women about the build? ing what she had seen, as Baulch was only doing what, he did for him, and he was doing it for another mao. ANOTHER WITNESS. Miss Conway was terrified. She knew that the comptroller was accused of stealing the papers, and she had reason to believe thai she was the only person besides the thieves who knew anything ubout the real perpetrators. On Friday, however, Mr. Murphy, ihe night watchman in the comptroller's office, came up stairs and asked her if she knew anything about the robbery. Murphy had hts suspicions aroused by the extraordinary actions ol Hager? ty and Baulch when he had come upon them unexpectedly upon the night of the robbery. Although at the time Ie suspected nothing, the news ol the robbery afterward caused him to think lt worih while to try If something could not be learned of the missing papers up stairs. Miss Conway was afraid to commit herself, but she threw out some hints which caused Murphy to believe himself on the right track. He pressed her for more information, but at that moment she thought she heard Mr. Hagerty's step on the stairs, and the iwo hastily separat? ed, she going imo her room, and Murphy re? treating down to the comptroller's office. He afterward returned up stairs, and asked Miss Conway to mention the subject to no one unlit she saw him again. Miss Conway became more and more troubled over the affair the more she thought of it. That same afternoon she met Mr. Hagerty's brother Mark, who is an employee ol the mayor's office, in the building, and told him the whole storr. He begged her to keep quiet about it or they would all be arrested. But on Satur.lav nlirht last she could ttand It no longer. She went io Mrs. Hagerty's stall In the market, and told her that she was going to leave for a few days until the trouble would blow over, lor lear there would be an arrest, and she would be held as a witness. Mrs. Hagerty tried to rea? son with her, but she was obstinate, aud lak? ing a few doilies, she wenl to ihe house of a friend at No. 95 Washington street. WHERE TUE POLICE COME IS. Meanwhile Mayor Hall had made his on? slaught upon Comptroller Connolly, basing It upon ihe assumption that the comptroller was guilty of the robbery, and asking for his resit nallo I. Mary Conway ls an honest Irish girl. She is a devoted Roman Catholic. Her con? science troubled her. She knew that Mr. Con? nolly was a Catholic, and that he was unjustly charged with the abstraction of the vouch? ers. She determined to let him know the whole truth. With this object in view, she sent tor Mr. Murphy, told him what she knew, and expressed her readiness lo go to Mr. Connolly and give him all the In? formation in her power. On Tuesday Mary Conway met Comptroller Connolly according to appointment. 'Ibe comptroller was aston? ished. On Wednesday Miss Conwav was taken belore Judge Ledwitn, where she and Murphy made affidavits to the tacts In the case. Judge Ledwith granted warrants for the arrest ol Mr. and Mrs. Hagerty and Baulch, and detained both witnesses. The excitement throughout the city was very great when the arrest ot the voucher thieves was announced. Some of the papers issued extras, and all through the afternoon but little else was talked of in the street, at the hotels, and in places of public business. LATEST REPORTS. A New York letter, of the 221. says: A no? tice was issued this afternoon. Bignell by Wm. M.Tweed, summoning a special meeting of I the Democratic general committee, at Tam-1 many Hall, on Monday evening, for the trans? action of "important business." The "impor? tant business" ls understood io be the devising ofjways and mes ns to checkmake the alleged plotting of Mr. Samuel J. Tilden, (chairman of the State committee,) to have Tammany shut out of the Rochester Convention. A lively time ls expected, both Inside and outside the wigwam. Tweed's friends are drumming up their forces for a mass meeting this evening, at the junction ot East Broadway and Essex street, not onlv to vindicate his character, but to re? nominate him to the Slate Senate. The de? monstration ls designed as a foil to the crimi? nal charge preferred against him, and at Use same time as an admonition to his political opponents that he does not intend to be crowd? ed off ihe track. Governor HoffmaD, it ls understood, is in entire sympathy willi Mr. Tilden in his move? ment against the "Ring," and freely expresses the conviction that the State convention can? not go before the people with any prospect of succ?s.-, unless tne whole concern ls uncondi? tionally thrown overboard. The joint committee of aldermen and clll eens met this afternoon, and submitted for publication a report on the city debt, the grand aggregate of shied ia put down at $07,287,625 03. The fad which stands out most prominently is this, that during the past four years sixty-three millions ol dollars-ever and above the authorized ttx levier -have myste? riously disappeared. Hie next problem the committee will have to solve will be, into whose pockets these m liions have gone. The president uf 'a prominent insurance company this afternoon Informed one ol the Seventy that Hall, Tweed and 8weeny were transferring their insurance policies-which is interpreted to mean that they are getting rid of their real estate, as if to be prepared for the worst. As there is a pressing need for money to carry on the city government, and especially to meet the necesiltles ot the board of educa? tion and the board of public works, Deputy Comptroller Greene addressed a note to the mayor this morning, asking him to convene the supervisors as early as possible to receive a communication relative to the tax levy. The mayor has made n? reply as yet, but the understanding ls that hi will accede to the re? quest-thus, lor the first time, officially recog? nizing Greene. THE CASE OE ?HRS. ? HARTON.

According to the London Times, the two and a half shilling piece has ceased to bc coined at the British mint. The discussion caused by the proposed modification of the English currency has. lt is slated, revived the proposition that a tenpenny piece, corresponding tn value to the French tranc, should be coined Instead. Three ol these new coins would be equal to the exist? ing half-crown, and fire would be equal lo the American dollar. But the Britisher's don't see it.

Tiirough ;nt the far West, and on the steaming alluvial of the Southern r vers, all the varle'les of periodical fever are probably rife to-day.
