AIDLRMdNIC CONFLICT.


1t is anticipated that, on the first day Of
January 1872, there will be two conflicting
Boards of Aldermen sitting in the City Hall,
! the legal Aldermanc body Of the City of New
York. The first of these Boards will be COM
posed of the fifteen Aldermen, known as the
Reform Board, elected on the Reform Ticket
at the last November election. The other
Board is known by the descriptive name Of
the Ring Board AS the interests of the City
are grouped, to considerable extent. about
this controversy, brief statement Of it, as it
stands, may be read with profit. The Ring Board
was originally elected by tho people in May,
1870, under law of the Legislature of that
year previously passed, and directing that their
term of Office should commence on the 1st Mon
day of June, 1870, and terminate on the list day of
January, 1872, at noon. The law which author
lied their election and retention in Office till
the 1st day of January, 1872, also directed that
there should be "Aldermen elected at the
general election int November, 1871, and an.
"nually thereafter mt every succeeding general
"election, who shall take Office at noon on the
"tirst Monday Of January in each and every
"year following their election" But the Tam.
many Ring procured to be enacted by the
Legislature Of 1871, among other amendments,
an amendment to this direction of the law Of
1870 in these words: "The Aldermen and
"Assisfans Aldermen. who were elected sever
"ally as sucfN,in May, 1870 and who are sew
"erally in office at the passage of this act.
"shan hold and are hereby continued in Office
"untn the first Monday in January which will
abe in the year 1872 So here, then, We have
a law of 1870 commanding fifteen Aldermen
to be elected by the people in November, 1871.
for the year 1872, and law of the Legislature
of 1877 commanding that the fifteen Aldermen
for that same year shall be the Aldermen who
were elected in May, 1870, to hold Office till the
1st of January. 1872 Now, which is the true
law of the twoi If the law of 1871 is the one,
then the present Ring Board, legislated by it
into Office for the year 1872, are the true Alder
men. But, if the law of 1871 is Intellectual to
impair the law of 1870, then the Reform Board
elected last November under its provisions are
the genuine City Fathers.
1t is conceded substantially that public
city office having been created (as in the case
of Adermen), the Legislature has not the con-
power Of appointing a person to it.
SO the law of 1871 being plainly unconstitn-
tional. and therefore void. the law of 1870 re-
mains IN full forco to lesalizo the Reform

ERIE IN TIE LEGISLATURE.

The Erie Railway Ring will have more
trouble at Albany this Winter than it has
ever had since the alliance with Tweed and
Swceny gave it control of the lObbies OF the
capitol. A strong effort will be made by
honest legislators not only to give relief to its
plundered shareholders, turn out the present
directory, and provide that officers shall be
chosen hereafter by tho bOna-fide owners of
the property but to regulate its control over the
commerce of the State, and destroy the power
which it has hitherto exerted in State politics.
Some of the constituencies along the line OF
the road have chosen their representatives with
especial reference to the affairs OF Erie, and as
soon as the Ncw-YOrk charter has been attended
to, there will spring up clamor for justice
in the great railway conspiracy to which the
Legislature cannot remain insensibe. We
NAV take it for granted that the directors are
not idle. Their power is too valuable to be
surrendered without q struggle. The danger
besides which threatens them in New York
when they lose the support of the Tammany
Courts will drive them to seek legislative pro-
lection, and they will leave untried no device
which ingenuity can plan and money can pay
for to regain the ascendency which they en-
loved under the protection of Boss Tweed.
We understand that they are already busy
with the manipulation Of the Committees, and
have selected their candidate for the Chair
manship of the Senate Committee ON Railroads.
This is an appointment for which they could
afford to pay as much as the price of Mr.
Winans. 1t will possibly decide the success
or failure of all their future schemes. No
doubt q purchasable man can be found for
it, and he may be found where honest legis-
lators would never think of looking for him
| We urge Senators and Members of the Assem-
bly, to watch carefully for any packing of the
Committees. The scheme will be tried; and
it is of the last importance that it should be
| defeated
New-York tribune., 1871-12-30

Another step has been taken in the oreani-
zation of the Civil Service Reform. The Com
missioners who drew up the plan of opera
tions are named as the Advisory Board for car
rying it into effect. The Secretary Of the
Treasury has addressed letter to Collectors
Of Customs directing them to be guided here
after, as far as practicable, by the rules laid
down IN the Commissioners report. He leaves
to the Collectors themselves the selec-
ton of the Examining Boards, and requires
that they shall already be connected with the
Custom. House. If these orders are fulfilled,
there is nothing to be feared by the present
occupal,ts Of revenue Offices
New-York tribune., 1871-12-30

1t is in the natural order of things that
Mr.. Tweed, on reappcaring from the obscure
corners in which he has hid while his bail
was wanting should be forced out of his
Office 20 President of the Board of Public
Works. Even criminals cling to preference
for resignation over expulsion in such case !;
and now that the crisis of Mr. Tweeds mis-
fortunes approaches. he has at least seized
the opportunity to retire rather than be
elected. Whether ne will show himself
equally wise at Albany, two or three days
more must determine. Meantime, the people
of New-Iork will be satisfied that in Mr..
Van Mort, who has already been appointed
and has qualified, they have successor to
MIR. Tweed IN Office but not in character. He
bears an unsoiled name, and we shall hope
for an unsOiled record for him.

by us yesterday, and to avoid arrest on the

prisoner surrendered by his BAIL and in any
case his expulsion from the Senate ut the
opening of the session is a fOregOne conclu-
sion. Judge Barnard's extraordinary reduc-
ton of bail on the criminal charge cannot
help him; for while it would be easy enough
to run away from q bond of $4,000, ne Is heiu
fast by the sureties on the other charge,-and
there are fresh charges still to come. MI
Tweed must stand his trial
The complaints and indictments have been
framed in a peculiar manner, and will probably
afford fine field for tho display OF the best
legal ingenuity that can be secured for the
defense. But the prosecution is In no Ordi-
nary hands. The work of MIR. OConor Is
made to wear, and it is unreasonable to sup
pose that the leader Of the American bar,
assisted by an astute lawyer like MIR. Tilden,
has prepared a case which will break down
under mere technical objections If the trial
we're to take place before Barnard or Cardozo
there might be reason to fear. But the
civil suit has been brought in Albany
County; the felony is triable in tho
General Sessions and the indictments yet to
be presented will also come before Judge Bed
ford, who will give the prisoner no advantage
to which he may not be legally entitled. we
see little chance of saving Tweed from the
State Prison except in a disagreement OF the
jury. This chance we confess is pretty
good one. New-YOrk juries are seldom made
of the best material; and if the panel cannot
be packed, the man who has bought so many
legislators and OWNS 80 much money may
know how to invest $5O,OOO or 100000 to his
own best advantage. Shall we find twelve
men proof against that terrible temptation

The Paris papers Indignantly deny that the
Germans arc seizing hostages in the occupied
territory, but our dispatches this morning not
only show that hostages are seized, but that
the conduct of the French toward their con-
querors is such as inevitably to bring down on
them the severest punishment. The French
who murder German soldiers may DO it from
motives of The purest patriotism, but they can
not expect Prince Bismarck to regard 1t In
