omit no endeavor to secure a victory over the
party that owns Tor rather has been owned by
the Tammany robbers. This it will do now, "and
settle with stragglers and marauders on the
field" when it is won. We don't believe the
other faction would be capable of acting in this
way, if placed in similar position.
Progress in the War Upon Tammany.
The apparent cessation for few days of ac-
tive measures against the Tammany ring seems
to have given its members new courage. One
indication of this was a sinister article which
appeared in the Star day or two ago, mani
festly aiming to ncite the laborers on the public
works to mob the houses of the men who had
been most active in exposing the frauds Of the
municipal thieves. The Star said in substance
that through the suits against the city the la
borers would be deprived of their pay, the work
on the parks and streets would be stopped, and
the five thousand men employed on them would
be thrown out of employment just as winter is
coming on, leaving their families to perish of
cold and starvation. "rhe men who have caused
all this trouble and misery" said the Star, care
John Foley, who brought the suit, and George
Jones, and Louis J. Jennings, the publisher and
editor of the Times" 1t then urged the work
men to assemble in mass meeting to demand re-
dress Of these wrongs, and directed their atten-
ton to the residence of each of these gentlemen
by its street and number. The authorship o.
this scditous appeal was attributed, on thu
alleged authority of Thomas c. Fields, member
of the board of works, TO Judge Hilton, an
other member of the board. A disclaimer, OF
behalf of the board of works. and of themselve
individually of having written, prompted Oh
consented to the publication of the article, has
since been published, signed by Sweeney and
Judge Hilton, but the name of Fields the other
member, is significantly absent A more
wicked proyocation to nfdrder and rapine than
the article in the Star was never published.
The other papers in the city denounce it as it
deserves. The possibility of disastrous riot,
stirred up by the Tammany thieves, their de-
pendants and abettors, cannot be ignored, but
the leaders are fortunately towards, like most
other thieves, and have gained too much wealth
by their long career of plumber to venture upon
the desperate hazard of conyoking mob which
might not discriminate, when it had begun to
taste the delights of pillage and murder
Yesterday another attack was made upon the
city pluuderers. Civil suits were begun against
Ingersoll, Gavey and others to recover from
them the sums Of which they have robbed
the municipal treasury with the connivanee and
cooperation of Tweed and his official gang.
Garvey, it is asserted, has fed to Europe, after
assigning all his property to trustees for the
payment of his ''iust debts' This lucky plas-
terer has received more than three millions for
plastering the new court house, or, at least that
sum has ostensibly been paid him on that ac-
count A report was current yesterday that In
gcrsoll and some others, alarmed and enraged
that their powerful confederates could not or
would not protect them, had suddenly become
conscience stricken and confessed that they had
shared the fruits of their rascaity with Tweed,
Sweeney and Connolly. An order for the
arrest of these three worthless was expected dur
ing the day from Judge Barnard. This would
give them the opportunity for which Tweed
asked so pathetically in his speech last week, to
defend themselves against definite charges be-
fore legal tribunal. The expectation of their
immediate arrest was probably premature but
it will come, there is reason to hope. In the
meantime, the Times follows up its attacks with
fierce alacrity, and the other papers support it
pretty faithfully. The former ring organs are
scared into silence, except that such jackals as
the Star and Leader utter an occasional snarl
Connolly seems to have given up the game, and
is passiyely, if not actively, aiding the friends
Of an honest government, and Tweed, Hall and
Sweeny are covering in apprehension of the
final overthrow of all their dplpurns
