THAT vILLAINOUs RING.

Tn. World comes out squarely for the Ring.
Speaking of the probable election Of Boolo' II
says:
i "But we must alsO give him Common Council that
vii. stand by him in the various measures OF municipal
reform he promises 10 naugurite There arc spit TICK
cts running all the city and unless care IL takoD we
will osc OF the best candidates for Aldermen anu
lCOInoilmen"
Such open advocacy of the Ring is something
audaciOus, and can be accounted for only upon
the hypothesis that The World feels sure Of sue
cess; sure that the Thugs Of the Ring Will
throttle the taxpayers for the next two years,
and rob them ofmoney enough to keep life in a
certain concern now afflicted with the maras
mus of public neglect. "Votc the regular
ticket" Ay Vote for Farley, Walsh, Charles
Devlin, Barney Kelly and the like of that
Elect Common Council TO sustain him, and
how snugly Boolc will carry out his reforms
What reforms, Ask the Financial Agent Of
the Ring. and he will perhaps show you the
tariff settled upon by the conspirators ioi
certain job5-such as 100000 for great rail-
road grant; So, 900 for mammoth paving con-
tract; $50, 600 for regulating ferryi Sl,ooO
for giving away a lease; 800 to got appointed
Commissioner of Deeds; half your salary to be
a clerk in O City Bureau. &C., DC. These
figures are mere estimates, but We think they
are somewhere near the mark. With Boolc for
Mayor and two-thirds of each Board in his
favor, there is not the slightest chance
that any act Of legislation will be per
formed without paying It's way. unless 1t may
DO thrown in as q blind, to deceive the people.
Years ago, the Originators Of the first Ring made
the corpse of Henry Clay the center OF drunken
orgies, and stole the broadcloth pail to make
into dress coats. Since that, the Ring has grown
stronger, and outwardly more respectable; but
yet they have made every celebration, every
funeral even, the occasion for wasteful expenses
at least if not direct robbery. They steal from
the public treasury over the dead bodies Of our
slain heroes; they conspire TO get carriages OF
some one who will hand over o large share OF
his bill; gloves Of a man who will throw in "a
few dozen pair for the members of the Common
Council and selec, M undertaken, not for the
style in which he would do bis sad work, but for
the per cent Of shave that he will stand.
If this Internal gang Of thieves ia 10 have a
clean sweep of power for the next two years,
one Of two results will almost certainly come:
either their thicying operations will be greatly
restricted By fear Of consequences. or the IN
suited md plundcrcd people will do as the
people of san Francisco did. hang the leading
rascals TO the corners Of the City Hall and
swear eternal repatriation TO all their followers.
such AZ alternative ought to be spared u.s. hot for
the thicye. who will suffer (for 10 be rid ofthem

assertion that in the ranks and particularly among ths

News from the Army Of the Potomac at this
writing is good. On Friday our forces advanced
from the fords at which they crossed the Rapdan
and formed line OF battle. At o'clock p. IN, q
contest began on the road leading toward
Orange Courthouse, but the enemy did not
reply with artillery. Ala p. m, Hills Corp:
approached our center, and at Al heavy mus
kerry was heard, proving that our Third Corp;
was engaged. Up to 6 o'clock our casualtie:
in the center were few. The battle ground was
in q wood, and it was difficult to ascertain po.
sitons. On Thursday afternoon Gen. Gregg
cavalry drove the Rebel cavalry back upon Their
supports and then himselfretired-hi loss is said
to be go. which is very large. But then our
18th Corps came up and forced the enemy back.
In the mean time, Gen. French, with the Sd
Corps, had conflict with Ewell (on our right.
He held his position, though losing severely,
and reports the capture of9OO Rebels. On Fri
day morning, il was found that the Rebels had
fallen back two miles from our center toward
Orange Court-House. This day skirmishing
opened briskly, with considerable artillery fight
ing along our whole line up to p. M, when 1t
became very severe on both sides, and SO con-
tinued until dark. II seems certain tha. Meade
deceived Lee as TO the point Of crossing and
that Lee abandoned all his strong cartl-
works only to let our men take them.
On Saturday operations began at daybreak,
Gen. Meade advancing TO the front. Picket
firing continued until noon, and il was thought
that the enemy would slowly retreat and de-
cline any general engagement. Thus far our
losses are not heavy, and the Rebels seem TO be
unable or unwilling to make a determined
stand; but it is guessed they will DO so al or
near Orange CourtHouse.
Our special correspondents give very full &C.
counts Of the entire movement, which agree IN
the main with those Of the Associated Press.
As it now looks, we should judge that Meade
had much the best Of il, and that the abandon
ment Of his works on the Rapidan by Lee bad
placed him in position Of great peril, one in
which lie will find it difficult to make any sue
cessful resistance until he can reach or make
some fortified position.
