patronage thrown into his private office by GER
tain Judges of our Superior and Supreme
Courts, probably turning him in additional fees
to the amount at least Of another SIC, 900 an

We are informed that before Recorder John
T. Hoffman can run for Mayor as the Ring -
nominee, he must resign his present Office,
which will then be filed by vote Of the Board
of Supervisors, Of which body Wm. NJ. Tweed
is the acknowledged Ringmaster. Can this be
sol At any rate, il elected he would have to
do so; and can Recorder Hoffman, while throw
ing the Office of highest criminal jurisdiction
into the hands Of the "Ring," still have the
face to make professions Of hostility to the
domination Of that unholy leaguei Already

Of them the supple tools, of the allied pillagers
who reign in the City Hall. Does Recorder
Hoffman desire TO complete that circle OF OWL
