lining.

There were certain elements of the dramatic
in the proceedings at the Grand Opera House
Yesterday when the "Erie Ring" added three
new members to its clique. But at no time did
the performance rise above the dignity of farce
The facetious Mr. Fisk, jr, did some effective
attitudinizing, and talked with the "old man"
of the establishment of the virtues of the old
Directors, much after the manner OF an amateur
Hamlet not up in his part to an inexperienced
grave-digger about the virtues of an almost
forgotten YOrick But the selection of Mr.
Tweed as Chairman; the presentation of the
"whitewashng resolutions :" the balloting for
the new Directors; and finally the feast, were
broadly farcical-to all but the honest stock
holders, who must submit to the outrage and
the continuation of the swindle.
There was nothing unexpected in this action
of the Erie Board. The election yesterday
was simply part of n conspiracy persisted In,
though often exposed. Fortified behind legal
barriers secretly obtained from corrupt Leg
islcture, the Erie Directors openly defied the
stockholders of the road, and refused not only
to permit them to examine the records of their
office, but to vote at the election of Directors
Efforts TO serve the writs of the courts upon
the officers have failed because resisted by
violence and the Judges of the courts have
pocketed the insults. The protests of the
bona fde stockholders against the continuance
| of the present Directory were ridiculed and
refused Resolutions declaring the confidence
of the stockholders i'll the present Managers
were offered by one of the Directors and car
ried by the vote of the clerks and messengers
and paid attaches of the office. Throughout
the election there was total disregard of all
decent appearance, and the chief Manager, in
this as in all he does, gOried in the full dis
play of his own baseness.
This election by the "Erie Ringn was car
red with the same reckless contempt of right,
of public opinion, and of the consequences,
that has characterized the public elections
managed by the "Tammany Ring" 1t was
conducted by Tweed and Fisk, jr, with the
same shameessness that marked Tweed and
Halls management of the last election in this
city. The two Rings are each parts of the
same great fraud; the money of the Erie
stockholders is squandered in the thieves of Tam
many; and Tammany's creatures in Common
Council, Courts, Legislature, ard Executive
chair combine to protect the Erie Ring
Their punishment is deferred for the time by
the temporary success of their desperate
schemes, but it is impossible that these mon
strous and shameless impOsitiOns shall affiict
us forever The fate of Tammany we believe
to be near at hand. That of the allied Erie
Ring is sure speedily to follow.
New-York tribune., 1870-10-12

The delightful certainty that waits upon the
affairs of Tammany has just been signally
illustrated by the resignation of Matthew T..
Brennan as a Police Commissioner, in order
that he may legally accept the nomination of
the Sachems for Sheriff. In communities sub
ject to the changes of popular rule, an official
might hesitate to release the bird in the hand
for one in the bush but in New-Y York, where
the Ring takes all the trouble of government
from the people, he runs no risk by the act
Everybody knows that the Ring has selected Mr.
Brennan for Sheriff, and everybody is equally
aware that the Democratic Convention so-called
will be obliged to make the nomination.

ITHE VAR And THE COTTON CROP


While every week of European war and bust
ness arrangement buoys the hopes of the
wheat grower and sustans his price, in the
same ratio is cotton depressed. The declara-
ton of hostiities in July followed by the
amazing vigor of the Prussian advance and
the collapse of the French armies, has made it
more and more certain that thousands and
thousands of spindles must cease to run; that
millions who had money to buy cloth last year
will have no money this year. Navigation be-
came timorous and capital over-cautious. The
result is just what all the South feared-cotton
hardly over q shilling pOund-in fact less
than 12i cents, gold. 1t is now quite well as
certained that cotton gives no profit worth
mentioning when the price goes below 10
cents, and none at all when only 10
is the price of good Middling. At the New
Orleans Fair in April the cost Of a pound of
cotton was discussed, and the conclusion
reached that on the best alluvial soils, in q
good season, and with close management, 10
cents will make pound. But on the average
Upland, and with the average economy, the
planter loses who does not receive 10.
Southern prosperity, which for two years has
gone beyond all precedent in the days of the
old regime, has received a blow the planter is
disheartened the merchants are afraid to buy,
and Southern goods are gathering dust in the
lofts of New-Y York warehouses.
We have again and again cOunseled the
cotton growing States that devotion such as
they have given to a single product, for
marketing which they must look TO foreign
countries is bad economy, and can result in
no lasting and permanent thrift. A commu-
nifty that lives by cotton only, or wheat only,
or tobacco, or rice, or sugar, viii run over a
great surface with "a low and exhaustive
tillage Nothing is returned to the soil for
crops taken Off Prosperity is measured by
dollars that come r-seas-not by such true
tests as the condition of roads, houses, bridges,
and stock. A foreign market is a
precarious market When il is good, it
throws abundance of spending money into
the planters pocket, and he scatters it for
things that perish with tue using lie buys
