ETAMMANY FRAUDS The anticipated

ringlcader, in New York, III connection with
the stupcniOus frauds upon the treasury Of
that city, took place yesterday, and, as stated
by the telegraph, lie immediately obtained re.
lease by giving buiI in the sum o! s., 000, 900.
This is the first net in the drama, which will
doubtless disclose more yiIlainy than has ever
been exhibited before the courts OF New York
or any other tribunal Oh earth. The develop.
men,s which have been made by the commits
tee who have examined into the frauds for
which Tweed and his associates are held re.
spousible show that during the last two years
and eight months half tho entire revenue Of
the city md county of New York for that
time, aud much more than tho entire tax levy,
has been diverted, or, Us is charged, stolen by
the ring. The amount thus diverted looti up
over SIC, 100000.

equal Service, Equal Honors,n Is the title OF

to be considered in the record OF naval oicer and
the only service regarded by the department In the
detail OF officers for shore duty leave OF absence.
Upon that basis 1t be shown that the Oldest stan
oficer in the service Is only entitled to rank with

have many OF them not seen days sea service.
Take for example the surgeons who en-
tered the service between and including the
years ls4l and 1851 BY the register OF 1870 we find
that there are IL with an aggregate OF sea service
OF 2l6 years, which gives an average OF IL years,
months and 20 days, or II years and months to
same years s4l and 1851. There 6S officers with
1904 years. service, which gives an average OF
Is years and month sea service TO each, or about
years and months to the line than to the
geons. The paymasters average nearly the same as
surgeons do, but the engineers little less, owing to
the TACT that the corps Of engineers commenced Its
existence long after other stan corps. These are
plain facts deduced from figures and figures are
truthful. III equal service deserves equal hon.
