ANOTHER TAMNANY BARRICADB GONE.
The present Grand Jury has done good
work. and one which will enable Justice to be done in
spite Of Tammany Judges and District Attorneys
Some years ago Tweed passed bill for tho protection
of his numerous haugers-On, by which Grand Jurifs
were prevented from taking up cases not submitted
through the Dstrct-Attorney. Every case had to be
presented by that official before the Grand Jury could
call single witness consider the alleged ofense in
any way. This gave the DisrctAtorney great power,
and every Tammany official could protect his most I'M
ruy friends Tho present Grand Jury has disregarded
this law and, by permission Of the Recorder and City
Judge hears original complaints, subpenas witnesses,
and examines them without the Intervention Of the Dis
trict-Attorney The consequence is that It will present
large number Of indictments against persons who
little suspect their friends longer have power to
shield them number Of city officials. and
State Official high in authority and undeniably guilty Of
bribery and corruption already fully exposed in TIE
TRIBUNE undergoing the strict and thorough
tiny Of the Grand Jury, and will, in all probability. be
indicted.
