THE SITUdTION,

Connolly refuses to resign, and resolves to
carry down in his own ruin his late cOnfed-
crates. Samuel j. Tilden, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, the adrotest and
most far-seeing leader whom the death of
Dean Richmond left to the Democracy of
New-York, seizes the opportunity to use
Connolly for the destruction of the
Ring, as the only salvation of the party.
At his instance Connolly meets the
demand for resignation that Hall might
appoint his successor, by virtually appointing
his own successor, Andrew ii. Green, to whom,
as his Deputy, he makes over all the powers
and duties of his Office. Hall meets this check
by assuming the power of removal he
had declared the day before he did
not possess, removing Connolly and ap-
pointing George B. Mcclellan in his
place. Green is in possession by Connolly's
legal appointment; Mcclellan is outside, await
ing possession. under Halls appointment tho
old leaders of the Democracy are coming for
ward to scourge Sweeny, Hall 81 Co. back to
their Obscurity in the ranks, and against them
these members of the broken and dssolving
Ring are in open revolt. That is the situation
this morning.
In the interval, while the two factions of the
Democracy await McClellan's answer to sec
whether they must fight for the possession of the
Controllers Office with its hundreds of damning
papers yet unstolen, there is an opportunity to
trace in their order and relation few of the
late crowding events
For weeks the members of the Ring, incre-
dulous of danger at first, had been coming to
see more and more plainly that at any rate
they must throw some sop to the snarling peo-
pie. The Controller seemed to them
exactly adapted to the emergency: He
had failed to make the exhibits re-
quired by law. His Office contained any evil
dcnces there might be of fraud. On him the
demand for investigation had mainly centered
Put him out, and great credit might be gained,
under cover of which, and of the confidence
inspired by respectable appointment in his
place, the citizens investigations could be sus-
pended, SO that the new Controller might
prosecute them himself. Give the re-
naming members of the Ring that chance
to tide over the present emergency, and all
might yet be plain sailing. And 80 they pri-
vatcly asked him to resign, coupling with the
request the warmest protestations of friendship
and confidence. But "Slippcry Dick" was
suspicious. lie knew what his Office con-
tanned. In their hands. its evidence might

1t is unfortunate that to the horror OF the Eastern
Railway catastrophe should be added the drearines'
of q theological controversy. At an indignation
meeting held in Swampscott, the Rev. Mr.. Ware OF
Baltimore supported the position that " in the event
of Saturday night we recognize not the mysterious
providence of Cod but the reckless carelessness OF
man." Whcrcupon o religious newspaper aflrms
that this sensible view lis at variance with the
teachings Of the Bible and Of reason" Then DR..
Ellis in preaching the funeral sermon of the late Dr.
Gannett, said: "a cruel hand may bring the spar
row to the ground, and yet not without the
Father does the sparrow fall" Thus 1t
will be seen that we have plenty of dis
tinctions more nice, if may say 3d. than wise OF
profitable. If we do our work well, we may safely
trust the Deity to do His but scheme OF theology
alirms Him, although omnipotent, to be superior to
his own laws In evil as well good, while His is
the controlling hand, man remains free agent.
There is no natural solution of the problem. Ii we
run extra trains careessy there is nothing Tor us
but to accept the frightfu consequences. There Will
be no miraculous interpostion-thcre ID none IN
other forms of murder We must submit to tho
effects of given causes, and at the same time admit
the beneyolence of the Creator

practical refutation Of Gen. Buffers assertion that
NO man can enforce the Liquor law except himself.

The suggestion Of tls ss,l Prison DISCIPLINE
Congress, held at Cincinnati last year. has met
with favorable response from Europe, and
an International Congress is to meet at Lon
don next June. The Cincinnati COnvocation
was meant to be international, but, owing to
the disturbed condition of Europe, few foreign
delegates were present. 1t is difficult to
overestimate the Importance of these Con-
ventions, at which men who arc most familiar
with the management of prisons, and the in
fuence of the various modes of punishment
and discipline upon crime, exchange views
and agree, as far as possible, upon the best
means to be adopted for the reformation of
criminals and the prevention of crime.

Sweden appears to have taken the general
European alarm and is talking of reorGanlzinG
its military system. Sweden has only small
my-about 10000 men, in addition to volun-
tecrs and frce-shootcrs. The "rcgulars" or
reserves are distributed in the cantons, ana
earn their living by working for the landed
proprictors, but are obliged to drill one month
each year. In comparison with the PrussIan
military machine or even the British thirteen
thousand men who lately marched to Sand
hurst and then marched back again, it must
be seen that the army of Sweden is rather
undsciplined, and would not be very effective
even as Il home guard in case of invasion.

HALTS EFFORT TO CHECKMATE TILDEN.

HALLS EFFORT TO CHECKMATE TLDEN
The Importance of the step taken on Satur-
day evening by the Committee of Citizens and
the members of the Democratic Central Com
mittee is most clearly shown by the despera-
ton to which it seems to have driven the
common enemy. Mayor Halls crazy resolu-
ton of attempting to drive Connolly from
Office is an effort to do to-day what he has
expressly declared he was unable legally to do.
Only a week ago he wrote to the Controller:
IL cannot suspend any Head of Department, not
" eren pending an investigation. 1 can only pre-
" fer charges to tho Common Pleas, Who alone
can remove, after considerable time for trial."
and to-day he has the effrontery to pre-
tend to remove the Controller, alleging that
"the power of removal exists as an incident
"Of the power of appointment, and that the.
"process of impeachment is merely coordinate
"but not conflicting power to remove In effect
can impeached officer by procuring vacancy
He further attempts to cover the gross illegal
ity of his action by charging that the Con-
troller in delegating his authority has re-
linquished it. There is no shadow OF founda-
ton for this preposterous claim. Far better
lawyers than Mr.. Hall have decided this matter
The language of the statute is clear and explicit.
The Controller is, by section of chapter 574
of the laws of 1871, authorized to appoint
Deputy Controller who shall, lin addition to
" his other powers, possess every power and
shall perform every duty belonging to the Of
L" fee of Controller, whenever the said Control
"ler shall by due written authority, and during
q period to be specified in such authority, de-
signate and authorize the said Deputy Con-
"troller to possess the power and perform the
duty aforesaid" q. -
1t is impossible for any provision Of law to
be couched in more unmistakable terms.
No! This last dodge is too papably the
resort OF mere frenzy The gang of hunted
conspiratOrs, finding every avenue Of escape
closed to them, seem resolved to make one
Last appeal to violence and disorder. There
can be no other meaning attached TO the
ominous words with which the Mayor con-
cludes his letter to Gen. Mcclellan, urging
him to accept the Office Of Controller as the
only means OF preserving the public peace
We do not think 30 III Of the common
sense or the patriotism of Gen. Mcclellan

The industrious gentlemen who have been
loudly declaring that no Ku-Klux Outrages
could ever have been perpetrated in South
Carolina, because none are now committed,
will find some comfort, as well as explanation,
in communication from Spartansburg on
that subject. 1t is reported that the United
States cavalry stationed in that region havo
been riding through the country, making
arrests and otherwise preserving the peace.
Of course, the cessation of Ku-Klux outragcs
is an argument for the declaration of martial
law-which extreme step we should be sorry
to see taken except as a last resort, but it
also shows why we hear now that Spartans-
burg County is Quiet.

We think that whoever may hereafter be called to
govern France should seriously consider the aboli-
ton of tho Legion of Honor. Even as relic of the
exploded Bonaparte system it should be dropped
but it is also fact that the loose promiscuous and
prodgal way in which the decoration has been con-
ferred, especially under the Orleans and Republican
Governments, has Invested it of most of its value
and honor 1t is stated that the roll of legonaries
comprises now 10000 names. The expense is also q
consideration. There are 10000 military knights,
whose pensions vary from $50 francs to 1900 francs
per annum-the round total expense being 20, 1000
francs,
