increasing prosperity Of this journal in its circu
lation and in its adyertisemSnts This is partly
owing to our increased facilities for the rapid
printing Of our hssvy morning edition, having
'A's9auced into our establishment a superior
system of stereotyping, whereby, in the duplica-
ton OF our forms, we can run off from forty to
Fifty thousand sheets an hour
We are thus also enabled to maintain
indefinitely clean and distinct Typography,
IRON the preservation Of our type; whereas,
unGer the old system, single form,
daily subjected TO over hundred thousand
Impressions, has worn out new font of type
in month or two, and was a constantly recur-
ring source Of annoyance to ourselves and our
readers. Relieved Of this annoyance now, and
commanding the facilities required for an early
morning issue of one hundred thousand copies,
we can promise our advertisers and subscribers
the prompt fulfilment of their demands for the
present and the future, even to the extent of
. daily issue Of two hundred thousand.
New Development In city PoIitics-A
New md Splendid Ring Formed.
1t might have been supposed by those not
closely converse ! with the de ais of politics in
this our great metropolis, that the great nationa.
movement which began in the month of April
last, might have had Tor secondary effect. to
purify the atmosphere, and ind lce thorough
reform in the management OF our local interests.
The breaking up Of parties, and disintegration
OF old factions, have resulted, however, in tie
uprising Of nearly dozen others in their
places, each one as clamorous FOR spois, as
greedy for the possession of power, and rs re-
CARELESS of the general good, as any Of those
that preceded it. The consequence has been
new combinations, u fresh class Of intrigues,
operations between individual aspirants un-
heard Of in former times. and the ascendency
of organizations brought into being by the ma
IRE of the period upon which we have fallen
The palmy days of Tammany have passed
away; the different republican associations
have ceased to hold the balance Of power; No
Fart Hall is an unwilling instrument in hands
more powerful than its own; and the eight or
ten so-called Union combinations, possess no
strength excepting what they derive from the
great secret central Ring, which, under the
control of three master minds, Henry w. Genet
A. Oakley Hall, and Oliver Charlick are using
all of the rest to aid in accomplishing their own
political purposes.
The old Aldermanic Ring was q mere asso-
citation Of individuals, irrespective of the
original ties Of party, for the purpose of con-
trolling Corporation patronage and monopo-
lizing the appropriations from the city and
county treasury. Its power was of course i'm
mense, although confined within certain limits
beyond which it could not until very recently,
exercise any great influence. Tammany Hall
since the detection Of Fowler has fallen into a
state Of the completest intellectual and moral
decrepitude. Half its brains went out when
Fernando Wood established the rivalry of Mo-
Fart Hail. and the other ! alf left it with the
withdrawal from the Old Wigwam Of Sickles
and the departure for Mexico Of the late Post
master. The republican factions have become
so rotten and discordant that they have ceased
to have any chance Of supreme control Under
these circumstances, it was to have been ex
pected that Ring, founded on mutual interest,
and manipulating minor organizations, just as
our city potentatea Of past days have managed
individuals, should spring into existence A
combination has therefore been formed, capable
by it's weight and ability Of making itself the
centre of all Of the great and small movements
that agitate the community, and OF causing
them to contribute to its interest. OF this Ring

the Mozart Hall democracy so soon as that body
shall nominate. and has got q sufficient strong
hold in some of the Union organizations. to
render his election, in November, next to GER

and talent, has had the ability to go single
handed into Old Tammany, smash up the ma
chine there, and secure a nomination for County
Clerk, in the very teeth Of the dilapidated fos-
sils who supposed they had the making up of
the Wigwam slate in their own hands. He has
also been put forward by Mozart Hall, and by
the Cooper Institute Union organization, so that
