SUEFNY,S SCHEME.

Mr.. Sweeny has had most difficult task in
the construction of the new City Charter. 1t
was his especial hardship that he was ex-
pected by the Democratic party to reestablish
popular government in New York, and was
imperatively required by his personal needs to
retain tho substance of power for himself
while deluding the people with its shadow.
This object he has adroitly pursued with such
success that he reduces the Common Council
TO nullity, while pretending to oothe it with
absolute power; and his bill would be more
correctly entitled an act to vest the City of
New York in fee in Peter b. Sweeny
and associates, their heirs and assigns, for
ever. Although the charter has been drawn
with great pettfogging cunning, Mr. Sweeny
has not been able to conceal its real scope,
which is so apparent that even many Demo
Gratis have already discovered "litte joker
in almost every section One OF these is found
in section g. which provides that "the Board
"Of Aldermen shall consist of fifteen members,
to be elected upon general ticket from the
"cty at large;" and the correative piece of
the machinery for the deluson of the people
is contained in section 30, which enacts that
all heads of departments, except those of FL
nance and Law, shall be appointed, suspended,
or removed at pleasure by the Mayor,
by and with the consent of the Board
of Aldermen. Never were provisions of
law endowed with such fair promises and
SO much capacity for foul performance. 1t
flatters the Aldermen and pleases the people to
find that body joined with the Mayor as the
dispenser of patronage; but Mr.. Sweeny has
taken care that the Ring shall not be incommo-
ded by this delusive concession of popular
rights. BY reducing the number of Aldermen,
and by electing them from the city at large,
he has devised a certain method of crushing
the aspirations of meddlesome individuals, and
has destroyed all chance that tho Aldermanic

In things small as well rs great, tribute must
be paid to Tammany. Some time ago a foray
was made upon the banks and insurance COM
panies under the name of special taxes. The
victims were sufficiently CALLED to take the
thieves into court, where, the taxes being ad-
judged illegal, and the. amounts extorted or
dered to be refunded, it was supposed the
bahled marauders would be Obliged to pay
back every penny of their booty. But such a
suppositOn greatly underrated the dexterity OF
Tammany in keeping plunder as well rs in get

rants, they were blandly informed that they
could be obtained only through a well-known
legal firm. One insurance President demurring
somewhat savagely to this arrangement, was
paid his due without this intervention. Others
being less determined, were less fortunate,
and Tammany managed. after all, to retain
very fair percentage of the illegal exactions.

Among the peculiar fears on the subject OF
State finances with which the people of New
Orleans are afflicted to such an extent as TO
have broken out in public meeting, there IS
one, at least, that may be allayed by timely

Mr. Sherman's new bill from the Committee
on Finance for funding the National Debt is
noticeable mainly for its plan of issuing three
separate loans: one 10-20-that is to
say, loan redeemable after ten and
payable at the end of twenty years,
hearing interest at five per cents an
other. 1880, bearing interest at four and a
half per cent; and third. 20-40, bearing in
terest at four per cent. The full text of
the bill may he found in another
column. Some of its features are
somewhat novel, and we are not
entirely certain that all of them are wise. 1t
seems more carefully considered however than
such bills hitherto have been.

Certain persons in the Tennessee Consti'a
tional Convention lately undertook to tsAs
away the right of jury trial from persons
charged with minor oifenses, such as PEN
larceny. This was at once discovered TO be 8
cunning scheme to put the freedmen entiiep
at the mercy of village Justices of the peace
these being of the white persuasion, and Ger
tain to give black offenders liberal allowance
of penalty-a maximum of sentence with
minimum of fair hearing. The Convention
showed its disinclination to have its ey@
busted, by emphatically voting down the
amendment
