MCLELLAN UNWILLING TO SUCCEED HIM— INGERSOLL NOT YET ARRESTED. Most of the people who have been seen at Mr. Tweed's office nearly every day for month past and Win i yesterday, and lay in walt as usual in the halls of the Department of Public Works. Bome asked interviews and obtained them, while others merely Jounged about in the hope that Mr. Tweed might see and recognize them as friends willing to sacrifice thefr worthless prospects in any other direction for whatever erambs might chance to drop from the rich man’s table before his final downfall. Of late Mr, Tweed has care fully avoided reporters, who have much difficulty in ob taining access to bim. The intention of Mr. Tweed to resign the Commission ership, denied by himself several tines, was reasserted yesterday by a person who had a shere in the council beld to select a successor. This gentleman said that when the matter was mentioned to Gen. McClellan, he heoded the advice of two friends, and decided to take no part in oity polities. Another successor, it is alleged, has boen named. Mr. Tweed, it is also sald, will plead as his reason for resigning the necessity of giving his whole time to legal refutation of the charges made against him by the people, and the mecessity of preparing for the resistance which he expects to meet at Albany, if he remains in the country until the Legislature meets. Mr. Tweed is very reticent on mat ters connected with the suit against him, Yesterday two of his counsel were reported at their officers as out of town,” and it is supposed that they went to Albany on business connected with the legal proceedings agaiust thelr client. Mr. Tweed advanced, yesterday, $9,900 to pay the small-pipg men on the Croton Water Works. Mr. Ingersoll did not appear at the Sheriff's office yes terday. He 1s still with his fatifer at Orange, N. J., and grave doubts are entertained as to his ever surrendering uimself to justice. rn TAMMANY EXTRAVAGANCE. £HE RATE AT WHICH SALARIES WERE AD VANCED DURING TWEED'S REIGN—WHAT THE PERSCNNEL OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT COSTS. Deputy Controller Green has refused to pay the Recorder and City Judge the salaries they have been receiving for the past two years, on the ground that they ure not entitled to them under the law. The statutes of 1669 prohibit an increase of salaries and the creation of any vew offices except what may relate to the Burrogate's ofice; but on Dec. 27, 1869, the Legislature passed an aot raising the salaries of Recorder and City Judge from $10,000 to $15,000. Mr. Green claims that not only are they not entitled tojthe $15,000, but also that the amount paid in excess of the $10,000 per aunwn since January, $870, should be deducted from the amount due them, This case now in course of litigation is not the only nor the most glaring illustration of the lavish expendi ture made under the sway of the Ring. Appended is a comparative statement of the amounts paid per annum to some of the city officials and the Judiciary dunng thie and a previous year. The year 1863 is selected because at that time the Rebellion was most formidable, the price of gold the highest, and the value of provisions and other necessaries of life greater than st any period be 1871. 1863.

HOBBY, s 4 sans ssicrsenienas resus $1,155,808 $326,850 DING REGRETS AND SCHEMES. William M. Tweed lately remarked that if he had known the intense feeling the people had against Tammany Hall he would not have permitted Shandley or sy one allled to Tammany to be nominated. He would have iguored all regular Tammany candidates, and selected persons from the mercantile community. Fe regrets that Tammany Hall did not place a popular German upon the ticket in opposition to Sigel, as he attributes the defeatffof Tammany to the votes of Ger man Democrats. Sheriff Brennan says that Tammany Hall is dead for two or three years, and that it will take the Demooratio party that length of time to recover. As his office does not expire within two .years from next January, it is thought by some that he will remain yuiet-until the Fall campaign precedjug that time, when he may again be a candidate for thegMayoraltyjor. some other important political position. The report that Sweerly is endeavoring to reorganize Tammany Hall 1s by good suthority denied; but it fs said without contradiction that he 18 on the eve of new departure—that he 1s arranging ‘his affairs and packing his trunks for an extended Edropeqs tour;’ to remain abroad until after the Presidential campaign of 187%]etting the Demoeratic party take care of itself in the interval. SWINDLING THE BSHOPKEEPERS. SHAT IT COSTS TQ DISPLAY A SIGN-BOARD—THE LEECMES OF THE MAYOR'S OFFICE—" SEBRING” THE CORPORATION ATTORNEY. The extortions of the Mayor's Marshal and his subordinates in demsnding foes from storekeépers for the privilege of putting up signs, or keepltg show cases ou the sidewalk, prove upon investigation to be even wore wide-spread and outrageous than at first appeared.

The foreign flag escaped the notice of the Marshal’s men, but the Ameriean colors instantly attracted thelr attention, and the company had another fine to pay. Another tea firm doing business at No. 89 Vesey-st., complain that they pay $30 for privileges which some of their neighbors get for less money, or for nothing. A man who keeps a grocery on the south side of Vesey-st., sald he never paid anything for Moenses for sign-boards and show-cases. “Some fellows” said he, ‘have s habit of coming around to see me, but they don’t bother me mush, anyway I don’t pay any attention to them,” The following Interview was with a veteran merchant who does business near the foot of the street: Panty the sign off and it into his store When the reperter stated hie grrand, Wall, sald the Jetchan, “1 can tell ou one thing.

The sidewalks on Vesey-st. are crowded with merchan dise, and in some Slates it ie almost impossible for pe destrians to make their way throughtthe wares. Favored individuals are permitted to violate the law with impu nity. In several instances Jerson have busifiess stands on the sidewalk, for which they Jor she oity a merely nominal sum, but where they do a large business and make more profit than many men do who hire stoves and pay rents. One business man in Vesev-st. told the reporter that he wae iu favor of cleanng every thing from the sidewalk and in front of bulldings, and revoking all permits, for if no permits were granted 1haig would be no opportunities for fraud on the part of public officials. FULTON-8T. EXTORTIONS, In Fulton-st., one firm, dealers in wooden-ware, pay $10 a year for the privilege of unloading and loading goods upon the sidewalk. Formerly they were constantly an noyed by fines of $40 or $50, but they always managed by a viiit to the office of Corporation-Attorney “Tom” Fields to settle the fine for $5 or $10. One peculiarity of these fines was that théy were generally inflicted about election time. Lately the firm have settled the matter by obtaining a yearly permit. Another gentleman is obliged to pay the same amount for the privilege of keeping a eign fastened to the railing of the steps of his store. In case there are a number of signs, more Is required. If a merchant wishes to place a show-case containing samples of his goods upon the sidewalk, he must obtain a permit” for that also, even if it 1» upon the steps of his store; if it projects more than twelve inches beyond the walls of the building, it is an obstraction, sud mast be paid for. If jhe has a small sign upon the top of the chow-case he is fortanate if he {s not obliged to pay for that also. One firm in Fulton-st. wished to hang ry Fo ner across the street; $25 was demanded for the yoivi lege, and they did not put up the banner. A stencil plate firm, osSulying a third story, has a cloth banner about three feet square Pwesuink about six feet from one of their windows; this obstruction” costs them $10 per annum. 0 matter how high above the street or sidewalk the sign may be, it must be paid for. A tobacconist, near Nassau-st., has a strip of cloth about a foot wide and six feet long, bearing his name, fastened to the iron awning support in front. It costs him $10 a year to keep it there. large Slothing firm fis obliged bm Len Fiat, SEA Eo ntl 0 ments near Nassau-st., recently a wooden rr over the sidewalk and soon after received notice that they had violated a corporation ordinance.” A mem ber of the firin called at the office of the attorney and received a lecture on the enormity of the offense of hanging a eign where it ie fall upon the Sut by, The officials then offered to let it remaio for $3. It was taked down. In another case they were summoned wo pay a fine of $15. At the office the elerk offered to com mute the fine for less than half, but would not give a re ipt. case a firm neglects to take out a permit, or waits a few days after the year 1s up before renewing the per mit, they receive notice to appear at a court, geueratd in some distant part of *the oy to show cause why they should not pay a fine for Violakthg a corporation ordinance. A visit is ped to the office of the Corporation Attorney, and the case is settled by paring the costs,” generally about $12. These notices are circulated wholesale, being thrust under the doors or fastened to them. Bome merchants absolutely refuse to pay any attention to them, but the Iority would rather pay than expelinp the trouble and annovanoe of prosiug them. me get off with a fine as low as 85, and the sums run from that up to $20. All join in pronouncing it 8 most outrageous swindle. SIXTH-AVE. SUFFERERS, In Bixth-ave., the first place entered for the purpose of inquiry, wae a stove store, the owner of which had sev eral old stoves standing on the edge of the sidewalk. He sald an unknown man informed him that his permit to have them left there would cost $10, which he accord ingly paid. A grocer sald he did not know te whom the money went, but he knew that his charges for having goods displayed on the portion of sidewalk provided by law for every one to use for that purpose without taxa- tion, had lately amounted to $10 per annum. Another grocer has a large tin-rodted awning over the side walk, #ud, although the walk 1s covered with goods, he pays but $8 a year for his permit, which he obtains of the Mayor, i the aid of an Alderman. In another instance, a grocer paid #11 for a permit to ex hibit goods on the sidewalk and to use an awning, pre ciselysas is done by the grocer who paid but $3. He fur ther stated that he left a few barrels of goods on the edge 601 the sidewalk, a few (lays ago, not having time to bring them in, when policeman told him he must pay a fine. Accordingly he went down to the court-room, on the corner of Twenty-third-st. and Seventh-ave., found the clerk of the court, and asked him how much the bill would be for having those goods on the sidewalk for a day. The clerk replied #7 50, which the grocer paid, the clerk putting $2 of it in bis own pocket while the grocer was looking at him. A bystander, who was not very favorable to the proceedings of the clerk, told the groper that it he would watch him he might see him pocket the rest pretty soon.” A dealer in crockery and glasswire has a small show case in front of hie store, upon which he hae to pay $10 for permit, whieh he gets signed by an Alderman, and then pays for in the Mayor's office, Mithough the case is on the slotted space prescribed by law for the exhibition of gooda witliout taxation. A trunk and teaveling-bag desler had a small case be side an iron railing, where it was not in the way of any one, but msn came around sad assessed him for it at the rate of $10 year.

Their request was based on the fact that frauds were committed in the Jaying of the sssccaments and sppraisemeni of the property taken. The history of this scheme is well known.

Their gotion, however, will be contingent upon the presence of Alderman Dimond, who is Chairman of the Committee, and who 1s 111 and likely to be unable to attend. POLICE JUSTICE CHANGES, The rumors of the change in the jurisdic tions of certain police magistrates had their origin in a request made by Judge Shandley that he should be transferred from the Jefferson to the Essex Market Police Court, and this is to be dove, it Is sald, by the Board of Police Magistrates. Justice Ledwith is to re sume his position at Jefferson Market Court. The rea sons assigned for these changes are that neither S8handley nor Ledwith can have political influence where they now are, but that the change indicated may make a rip plo on the Jolideal sea and place both Jetsons in better Rositione regard to thelr constituen Joan they now old. It is also wipposed to be b part of policy now bejog dovised for resuscitation of Tammany Hall, which, it is said, is to anticipate Al reform nN 4 Jive tended reform in New-York, i A by the g wembers of the old Ring.

The report of the Ex ecutive Committee, presented to the Association, ex pressed gratification at the result of the late election, as encouraging the continuation of efforts for reform in all directions, and suggested the propriety of an application to the Legislature for amendments to the code and other laws; and also that the Committee on Extortions report all charges of improper conduct on the part of members of the Bar, After some debate a Committee of Twenty-one was appointed, consisting of the members of the Committee on the Amendment of the Imws and eleven new members, to take such action as may be deemed proper in relation to general reform of the laws, and especially of the Code of Procedure. The Committee on the Judiclery was instructed to in quire into the charges that have been made in relation to the judiciary and public officers, and report to the As sociation in relation thereto.

RESIGNATION OF THE HOHENWART MINISTRY— ERPECT OF THE THE NEWS IN VIENNA—BE-~ OEPTION OF THE NEWS IN BOHEMIA—ATTI TUDE OF COUNT BEUST TOWARD THE RETIR~ ING MINISTRY. [FROM THR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE.) Vienna, Oct. 20.—Count Hohenwart has given in his resignation and that of his colleagues. Their stay in office is merely provisional. Benst and Andrassy are victorious, The German party, tho self-styled Lib eral-Constitutionalists, are jubilant, and the Czechs to an equal degree disappointed and depressed. When to these few words I add that no one, positively no one, pas the slightest knowledge of who shall be Hohenwart’s successor, or of what shade of opinion, or from what party the next Ministry may be appointed, yon have a brief resumé of the state of affairs in Austria, It is true the picture is a most imperfect one, but who shall, who can depict the grievous injury which these successive experiments, these political miscarriages are working on this Empire. If ever a proof were needed of Austria’s vitality and vigor, it would be found in the elasticity and promptnees with which she recovers not only from the effect of disastrous exterior wars, but also after n ternal harrassing quarrels like the present one. What is most remarkable in the events of the past week is that no one predicted, mo one expected the solution which has come. Even as late as this day week, the ministers themselves anticipated affairs would take a different course, As for the public, up to Tuesday pight it was in ignérance of the new condition of things. "At the beginning of the week it was supposed to be a mere matter of days as to when the Imperial rescript, accepting the Czech fundamental laws, would be for warded to the Prague Diet, It was yet an undecided question with the public whether the Emperor would directly acknowledge the, fundamental laws as the basis of the Bohemian compromise, or whether this acknowl edgment would be the work of the Reicharath, in whieh the Government would be sure of 8 two-third majority by reason of the Czech deputies appearing in it by agree ment. On this matter there was doubt, but it never entered any person’s mind to discuss the probability of the compromise being definitely arranged this was con sidered o decided point, Therefore, on Monday and Taes day, it was rather a question of the effects which Beust’s defeat might have, than a controversy as to whether he would or would not be defeated. Hie fall was discounted beforehand. Even Andrassy’s position was discussed it was known how greatly he had imterested him self in the course of events, how intimately pound he was to tho Cbancellor. Consequently, seme conjectures arose sa to the effect Beust’s retirement might have on Andrasay, whether the latter might not be forved to follow suit. In fact, and to resume the situ ation, at the bepuning of the week it was piiacipally question as to the particular effect the miniaterial criss would have on the compromise. A slight modification of ‘the terms previously agréed upon was considered possi ble. It was even VLelio¥ed the arrangement might. be delayed, but there was no thought of its being endan gered. ‘The sutprise of the public, of the preds, of every one. indeed, bus the persons immediately concerned, was, therefore, enotmous, when, on Wednesday evesing it first becsme known that Count Hohenwart had been so severely defeated as to be forced to send In his resigna tion. And as s semi-offisial paper—Count Hobenwart’s own orgat—published the intelligende like the other journals, there was ws even rosms for doubt. Yet the news, for the Viennese, seemed $00 good tobe true; it ap peared incredible that Ooums Hobenwart's Ministry, after touthing the goal, after bringing the umegotiations ‘so neanly to 8, successful isave, after going immeasars bly beyond the other ministries formed for the same pur pose, should find itaclt forced to resign at the moment complete success ‘waa about te declare itself, and thatthe Vienna, aa Susatataf ad heetppiapien of tie Ouutiy rcomménded for thas aden, in. a} CN Ty AeShdtad that Jt wotid Sous mab 3 ABAD ut S0iy D4 bots of rpm the frying vas. into "2440 undentodly roel be if acme Jun 0760 Jet thie Bri a Le for apse seve as Hoheuwast's resig: AL Soe appoint Befhge puting to amodir 3 wT ie 9 aly 1 bet fro Pr 8 v X samtion of Bieien Lg wha, ens. after the csoiaiion had sombwhed adated, wae GREAT RRIYTAIN.
