Saturday night made raid on lot of ne
groes who were purchasing tickets for the
circus, at the ticket wagon, and with
stones and clubs drove them off. While
we do not believe In the doctrine that
negros are as good as white. men, and
somewhat better, we still believe that they
deserve to be treated decently, as long as
they behave themselves, and we trust the
parties to Saturday nights outrage may
meet condign punishment.

The Smaller RascaIs and Rascalities OF
the City 'sRing."
From The ~. Y. Tribune.

Fron, the ~. Y. Tribune
While a contemporary is engaged, through
its Commissioner, in the very commendable
work of showing up the impositions prac-
tised upon the people OF this city in giving
short weight and ia selling adulerated eata-
bles, would it not be we'll for it to employ
likewise Commissioner" to investigate the
doings of the Common Council "Ring" at the
City Hall ? He would there ascertain that,
instead of swindling the public in almost
infnitesimal doses, ch as "the ne-sixteenth
part of an ounce" in weight, or the "adulte-
ration of ground mace by pulverized crackers" "
they carry off their plunder in weights some
thing less than ton, and adulterate the tax
levy to the extent Of about one-half of the
whole sum annually wrung from the people of
this metropolis,
"Wbtre rats and mice and such small deer
Have robbed and revelled many year."
This Commissioner, when appointed, is re-
quested to ascertain why it is necessary, just
at this inclement season OF the year, to re-
build the public piers along the east shore of
the city 'lDithom contracting therefor" while
express provision is made in the charter that
such work shall be done by contract
lie would doubtless get some light with re-
ference to the repairing of many OF our streets
with wood (Brown's, Smiths, or Jones'
patenD or with stone, by contractors who have
peculiar style Of pavement; and while the
resolutions provide that the price shall ''not
exceed $5 per square yard, it will be very
difficult for him TO find that in any similar case
such work was ever done for S4'99 or any such
economical price.
1t would be well also to inquire into the
means by which 'three-fourths" vote is
procured for all these projects, when there is
minority sufficient to prevent it who were
elected by the taxpayers of the city; how 1t is
that they manage, by the same vote, to share
among themselves and their subordinates
such a liberal distribution Of extra pay.
They absolutely "spend other peoples money
as it it were their own." Let us cite few
instances:-ni "nk cI EaHf Wa
The Presidents of the Boards OF Aldermen
and Conncilmen each receive plum in the
shape of$l000 for services (i) rs er-otfcio mem
ber of the committees Of the Board. or course,
these services can be readily ascertained by
reference to the minutes Of the committees;
how many meetings they attended (if any),
and how many reports they signed (it any)
But the Clerk of the Common Council has a
capacious NAV. He gobbles up $1,000 for ser

large the authority Of the legislative ele-
ment." The trainers Of our form of free gov
eminent thoughtit wiser 70 restrict both, and
define the limitations Of their power. To the
Legislature they gave the making of laws
TO the President their execution. As the
people choose both President and Legislature,
there would seem to be little danger in this
distribution OF power-far less than is likely
to follow an attempt to break down the bar
riers established by the Constitution, and con-
fuse the duties and responsibilities Of the two
departments by mixing them together. Mr.
Johnson has tried to dictate to Congress; and
Congress, in return, has taken from him part
of his legitimate power. alrl aen Iar
II similar distrust is felt OF General Grant
-or II he gives similar provocation-t the
law may be required. But the people demand
no such precautions, for they feel no such dis
trust. They look to General Grant for a
thorough reform of the civil service. Con-
gress, we trust, will not respond to that de-
mand by so lettering General Grants hands
that he cannot possibly make the changes
which the good of the country requires. We
hope that General Butler will press the bill he
has introduced to repeal the Tenure-of- Office
act, and that it will become law.
