The TAMNANY RING of New York and its
apologists are trying hard to Offset the damag-
ing blows of the Times, by the shallow pre-
tence that its revelations are not revelations at
all, but merely rehashes of the bills already
published by the Board of Supervisors, in 1869.
Mayor Hall, in the Leader, and following his
wake, the World, labor through long articles
to prove this, publish parallel columns of fig
ures and pretend to account for the animus of
the Times, as il that had anything to do with
the matter; but another would be apologist.
with a zeal which outruns its discretion, up-
sets all their nice calculations with one stroke
of the pen. This one publishes the extracts
from the proceedings of the Supervisors, but
adds in effect: as for tue other bills of the
Times, we don't know where they got them,
and we prefer to believe the figures we know
the originals Of But with all their lame apol-
ogies, the plain, hard fact remains that grossly
exhorbtant bills for every department were
approved and paid, and that somebody got the
money. The question for New York tax pay
ers is not whence the Times got its figures, or
whether they are now first published or not,
but are they correct, and il so. who is RESPONSE
bic for their payment, and who profited there
by. AS the journal of Commerce fairly re-
marks: "The reply that those who have brought
charges of corruption against certain city Off
Gals are actuated by improper motives, is no
sufficient answer to the accusation"
| 1t is gratifying to see that the business men,
| to great number, are demanding a searching
investigation; and here again the remarks OF
the Journal eff Commerce, that which no New
York paper has been fairer or holder in the
matter, are deserving the highest praise:
We would prefer both for their own sakes
and the interests of the city, that these heads
| OF the government would themselves invite the
thorough and searching investigation that is
insisted upon by all classes among us whose
good opinion is worth having; and this senti.
ment we know to be shared by those who are
urging forward the movement in question
They cannot afford longer to sneer at the
charges which are on every tongue; ana they
need not hope to resist the atteu.It of our cit
| zeus TO wrest the truth from its official hiding
places. 1t is no kindness to them for then
friends, who have unbounded faith in theil
| honor and integrity, to attempt TO shield the m
| from these charges by certificates of character
| Nothing will satisfy the public but ventila
| ton OF all the suspicious accounts, and if they
do not Weld gracefully to the inevitable, the
truth will be wrung from them with hant
that will not study TO be gentle or iorbearing.

ates those cheeky fellows, that under the name

name too. ...-
The Washington Chronicle this morning an
nonnces TINT in limiting leave of absence to
thirty days for each year it was not the inten-
ton of the Secretary that the time usually
granted to the clerks to attend their State cleo
tions should be deducted. According to the
rule of the department each clerk is entitled to
thirty days irrespective of the time granted for
election purposes.
Late English gossip dspels the 'love ro-
nance" attending the marriage of Princess
Louise and the Marquis of Lorne, and init
mates that their married life has been anything
but love among the roSes." The story is that
the Princess inherits her mothers quick and
imperiOus temper, and the two women had
such frequent qaarrels that the peace of the
royal domestic circle was quite destroyed. The
marriage of the Princess aud her residence
elsewhere being the only resource ia the emer-
gency, certain number of young noblemen
were selected and invited to Windsor Castle,
and the Princess required to choose husbaud
from among them. She obeyed, and her choice
fell on the young Marquis, but there was no
such business-like arrangements. The resnlt
mas been that the PriDcesss temper is as bad as
ever, only il is exercised on new object.
