ROLU ROBERT MACAIRE.o

! The only quality in the character of the low
thief immortaized in the play which makes his
| bullooncry endurable is the cool impudencc and
brayalo with which he picks pocket or COM
mts o burglary If it were not that the Eric
! prototype of Robert Macairc, who alternately
robs his mistress Of fortune and steals q
railway, directory and all. is an impcrtncnt,
not to say bold, rogue, as well rs
bore, whom we would gladly sec kicked
from the stage, without waiting for
| the dcnOucment. But the last scenes in the
Eric farce now playing are well worth staying
for No proper minded audience will he con-
| tent to 60 before retIibutiOn is mcted out to
the principal characters. We beg the audience
ut least not to rise before the curtain is down,
and thus spoil the pleasure Of those who have
paid so dearly for the sport. We promise the
most impatient will not have to wait long.
The combinations forming against the Eric
management arc formidable; and with an
honest Legislature to back and aid them in all
proper demands the success of those organizing
to reform the Erie Directory is already as
sured. We have already noticed the absolute
failure Of the effort made by Fisk and Gould
to enticc President Ramsay Of the Albany and
Snsquehanna Railway and the officers of other
branch roads of Erie into an intrigue to keep
themselves in power. The proposition, if ever
fully entertained, was soon dismissed, and the
Directors of the branch roads wisely refused
to join fortunes with the failing Erie Ring
The late legal defeats in. the United States
Courts, the last of which we rejoice to
announce this morning, quite undoes the
vile work of Judge Barnard, and prevents his
Gratz" and Receiver, James II. Coleman,
from voting the 10000 Erie shares to sustain
in power the men who rob them.
At the next election the vote on these
shares will be cast by honest men
against the Ring, and will help materi-
ally to overthrow its corrupt and ruinOus
power and policy. Other English sharehold-
crs, represented by Gen. Sickles have COM
bined to cast honest votes against these dis
honest Directors. The American shareholders
all over the State and country are COM
bining, under the lead of the New
York Stock Exchange, to cast a solid
vote against Fisk, Gould, Tweed, and
the rest at the next election. And the foreign
managers and owners of the Atlantic and
Great Westerns road wholly dependent on
the Erie, and seriously damaged by the
msmanngcmcnt of it's present DirectOry-are

REFORJfED ANTI REFORNERS.

The supcrserviceable Senators who imagined
they were doing the President kindness in
opposing an investigation into alleged frauds
and cOrruptions have Mt least some virtue of
docility. Next TO the faculty of knowing what
is right and doing it, is the politicians
substitute of guessing at what the
Tie scramble of COnklIng and his
friends to get into this attitude, however dcs-
titutc of dignity, is still an encouraging symp-
tom. When We remember with what airy cf-
frontcry he was abusing q week ago the Sen
ators who demanded the investigation, and
launching the dreadful epithct of NAL
content at every one who presumed
to say that there was any necessity of
an examination into our Civil Service, it
seems scarcely the same COnkling, who on
Monday hurried in resolution calling for an
investigation of the Custom. House, and yes
terday meekly accepted an amendment to it
from Senator Schurz, compelling a searching
inqnisitiOn into the storage and carriage
frauds, and the bribery abuses in the Custom
House, and another from Mr.. Tpton, calling
for information in regard to the corrupt
intermeddling Of Murphy and his men
in State Conventions and primary elections
His organ in this city shows a similarly rand
change Of heart. 1t has also seen great LIGHT
in its exchanges. 1t has found that its thick
and-thin clamor of confidence in the Admin.
istration and abuse of every Senator who has
a mind of his OVID, WAS treated with
the contempt it deserved. Even Conkling
and his organ begin to see that their blunder-
ing opposition to impartial investigation has
sorely damaged them aud done the Admins.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-12-20

thcse Senators and papers have made the
country believe that they have. We observe
with great pleasure that Mr.. COnkling's mouth
picco has recognized its error, and is trying TO
retraco its steps. 1t ceased yesterday morning
to villify tho independent Senators who have
forced their views upon tho majority, anu
pretends it was always in favor OF tho re-
form. This Is not worth discussing, but the
change ct least is gratifying as proof OF tho
direction of the wind.
But both Mr.. Conkling and The 1'mcs' the
Don Quxoto and the Sancho Panza who started
out to fight all corners on tho thesis tnat INC
present Administration is the brightest anu
best, tho Murphy management the purcst ana
ablest that ever were seen--bOth Knight ana
Squire received some SOLDERING knocks on the
woy. The former was continually endorsed by
Trlmbull and Summer, and tho latter came to
serious grief ut the hands of Senator Pattcr'
son. It had declared that tho action OF the
Committee on Retrenchment was founded on
secret and one-sided evidence, which was
carblcd in tho report. Mr.. Patterson showed
how omen and straightforward tho whole
proceeding was from beginning to end, AS to
garbling the report, the only changes were 10
correct tho grammar, and when we are foid
TINT Thomas Murphy was one OF the principal
witnesses, wo may know how necessary this
oycrhauling was. Tho whole story OF the
frauds of Dur Custom House during the late
management remains to be told in oil its dis
crcditable details and when these corrupt
practices are made public, the men who
nroitcd 10y them will need all the assistance
ibcy can get, both in tho Press and the
Senate.
The present scramble of tho recent converts
to reform to appear upon tho popular side
wonld have more chance of success il the
records of the last week could DC blOtted ont.
The composition of The Committee remains n
permanent witness of tho amount of sincerity
in their present professions of reform. AS n
Senator observed on Monday, IS Senators
voted at first against investigation and "a in
favor Of it. But when tho sober second
thought, assisted by the voice of tho
country, compelled tho sycophants to rctraee
their steps and form tho Committee demanded,
seven members were taken from among those
who had voted against the proposition, and
ono from those who had favored it. This cam
not but be taken to indicate q desire that the
investigation shall be at least discreet and
courteous one. If any good is accomplished
by tho Committee wO shall accept it with
gratitude and appreciation, and should be very
glad il its work should cause us to forget the
unfairness of it's origin.

A crisis in tie affairs of the New Dominion
has finally culminatsd in the resignation of
the Government of the Province Of Ontario
The opposition made an issue on the manage
mcnt of tho railroad funds by the Ministry.
On this they procure a defeat of the Ministers
by vote of 40 to 80. Subsequently. a vote OF
want of confidence was passed by bare ma
jority of Onc Eut the Ministry, probably con-
sidering that this thing would blow over
would not resign. SO. a vote of censlIre wcs
passed, with majority of 10 against the Govern

The Democrats yesterday elected james NJ
Smith now speaker of tho House of Repre-
eentatives, Governor of Georgia. There was
no opposition, the Republicans taking 10 part
in the election. They maintain that Mr.. Con-
ley, under tie Constitution, il entitled to serve
out the term for which Gov. Bullock was
elected. The total vote of the State is eco 900
or more, and it is estimated that not moro
than 10000 or 10000 voted yesterday. 1t seems
to us that the Republicans might better have
participated in the election, even had they
done so under protest. Whatever might have
been their success, their voting would not have

must he decided by the courts.

Matters in Mexico continue to grow worse,
notwithsta ing the protests Of one of our city
contemporaries. The latest dispatches are
gloomy, and convey the idea that the case of
the Republic is desperate. The statement
that the impression that tho Juarcz Govern
ment cannot last month is gaining ground
is, probably, only an indication of tho panic
which. has seized on the people. We have
once moro the anxious suggestion that the
only salvation of the country is in a United
States protectOrate. This sort of folly has
been banded about 30 frequently AS to be
now ridiculous.
