Show GENERAL. New Voik News. New Vork, IS. It is rumored that General McClelian has accepted the comptrollership tendered by the Mayor, aud legal proceedings will be commenced com-menced to-morrow before Judge Barnard Bar-nard for his installment. The verdict of the coroner's jury, rendered this afternoon, holds the iieckman street cstablUhment, where the fatal fireworks' explosion took place, responsible for the lives io.-t. Gold.-chmit, one of Ihe proprietors, was killed; and Klnebcr, the other proprietor, is in the Tombs iu default of bail. Connolly's letter to Hall, declining to vacate his ollicc, cites tho Mayor's answer in court, that he had no power if so disposed to remove the comptroller, comptrol-ler, and announces his firm determination determina-tion to hold the office. Judge Lidwith and a delegation of tho committee of citizens waited upon acting-comptroller Green, and assured him of their support, sup-port, Charles O'Connor, the eminent lawyer, has prepared a legal opinion, in which he holds that Connolly is legally in possession of the office o! comptroller, and that Mayor Hall has no power to remove him. In consequence conse-quence of tho Mayor's letter to the heads of the various di partmcnls, repudiating all official knowledge of : comptroller Connolly or Andrew 11. Green as his deputy, the city post mai-ter has refused to pay any more warrants issued and signed by either of them. Tim laborers who are now holding warrants for their work will be refused payment, and to many of them there is at least a month's pay due. All the public works will therefore there-fore have to be stopped, and over -1,000 men thrown out of employment. V. l' llitvcmeyer and other members of the committee of seventy, have made arrangements by which the bauks of this city will cash any warrants war-rants sigued by tho comptroller and deputy comptroller Green. They say that the next legislature will justify their action and make an appropriation appropria-tion to pay back the money thus bor rowed. The Tribune looks with favor on the move among the leading anti-Tammany Democrats to put down corruption, and says it was not possible for the Republican party alone te carry out the great and radical reforms which are needed in theadininistrationof this city. The 1'i'mrs says that the guilt of Hall, Sweeny, Tweed and Connelly can be otablished from papers in the comptroller's office, and the facts yet i to come out will startle the public from one end of the country to the other, and will stagger even the brazen impudence of tho "ring" advocates. We arc entitled to spenk with authority author-ity on this subject. On entering on the discharge of ihe duties of his office, the "new deputy-comptoller, Green, immediately doubled the detective de-tective foree of the comptroller's office, aud placed two policemen in the office for the purpose of preventing the abstraction ab-straction of important papers.
