HIDING TIE PLUMBER.

A morning paper announced, on Saturday,
that Controller Connolly was, through his
wife, transferring large amounts of registered
securities to another member Of his family,
We know nothing of the facts i'll this case,
but, if it be true. and this can be readily
ascertained by application in the proper
quarters, we suggest that this is
matter for the serious consideration
of the Committee of Seventy. If the
proceedings which have been begun with
such universal acquiescence of good citizens
are not merely farcical, they tend not only to
the removal Of our corrupt rulers from power,
but to justice upon them for their trangres-
sions. If it be proved that they have stolen
the money of the taxpayers, they
should be compelled to make restitution,
even to the uttermost farthing of their
possessions. Merely turning them out
of the positions they have disgraced
would be to them no adequate punishment.
Secure in the accumulatiOns of years of rob-
berry, they could bid defiance to public opinion
and await favorable opportunity for enter
ing again upon the field of politics. They
have no social position to lose. They would
be no more dcspised by decent people than
they arc at present. Their wealth would gain
them circle of retainers and parasites very
much the same as those who surround
them now, and after a while the pub
lie conscience, wearlcd with the power
full effort required for dismissing them,
would begin to neglect and at last to forget
them. But if they are prosecuted to the point
of making them disgOrge their plunder, they
would go into retirement with none to do
them reverence Their evil example would
become pOwcress for harm, if the influence
of their stolen millions could be taken from
them. 1t should therefore be matter for
immediate consideration to the Committee
whether an injunction should not be at once
applied for restraining these men from alien
ating any of their property pending the legal
investigation of their cases by the Courts.
suggestion has been hastily made by that
rapid and hot-blooded journal, The Nation,
that the Tammany leaders would be better for
days hanging to lamp-pOsts. If the con-
ductOrs OF that paper know anything OF Amer
lean mobs they would not commit an error so
absurd and 80 savage. mob sometimes
hangs man who deserves it, but 1t is only
by providential accident In every crowd
which lynches a horse-thief the rinsleaders
arc almost sure to be thieves themselves.
In the wild gangs which drag q murderer
from Jail and hang him, there is no idea of
justlce-nothng but the keen love of excite
ment and larbaroM lust Of blood. ANY
New-York tribune., 1871-09-11

1t is a thanklcss task to expose a tithe of
the frauds and abuses of the Tammany Ring.
But when the Public School system is touched,
the people should feel that one Of the dearest
institutions of the country is threatened. On
another page of TIE TRIBUNE will be found
complete exposition of the condition
of our Public School Department, which
has been demoralized and all but
ruined by the corrupting influences ex-
erted over it by the selfish men who control
public affairs. Money wasted, the attendance
of scholars discouraged, sectarianism creeping
into the schools, contracts for books and sup
plies given to party favorites without regard
to the needs of the schoOls-these are among
the notable features Of our school system as it
now exists The catalogue of ills is long, but
| If is honestly made.
New-York tribune., 1871-09-11

Vigilance Committee which should assume to
"do justice" to Tweed and Connolly would
inevitably be composed in great part OF the
very classes who have been for years in the
pay of these men. There has been great deal
of unwholesome folly talked and written about
the essential justice Of Lynch Law and
Vigilance Committees. 1t all proceeds from
the fact that the persons punished often de-
served it. Haggerty was q noxious animal
but Reddy the Blacksmith had no right to
kill him. He deserves the punishment of
murderer for inficting on Haggerty the death
