A CALL UPON A SLOW COMMITTEE.
The Times Of this morning calls on the
Committee of Seventy to be expeditions
and break down the ring at any cost. 1t
says: 1--WE have found fault with the
committee partly because they do not, as
1t appears to us, place sufficient confidence
in the publiCi they seem to be uncertain
about the temper of the people. They
need not feel so. They can depend on 1t
that the strong heart of the people Is
with them, and that If they do their work
well and thoroughly, they will find the
public of New York much greater pow
er than any which Hall, Tweed and
Sweeney can CODjure up"
