was to enable the Comptroller during
illness or unavoidable or necessary absence
from his duties, to empower his deputy
to gill his place. so that the machinery OF the
government might go on, and not to authorize
him to withdraw from the duties and RESPONSE
bities OF his Office and virtually appoint his
successor.
The disputed points will, no ao,.t aconht; GO 10
the Courts and be decided there. 1t Is pro-
bable that Mayor Hall may appoint another
successor to Connolly, now that General
Mcclellan has declined to contest the Office,
and in that event an application will no doubt
be made to Judge for legal authority
to take possession Of the office. In
the meantime we are informed that
Acting Comptroller Green has handed
over to the investigating committee several
papers belonging to the department. We are
assured by the organs prompted by Connolly
that these papers expose gross corruption and
peculation on the part of Messrs. Sweeny and
Hall, and that these revelations will startle
the community. 1t is fortunate that this
are glad that Mr.. Green has had an oppor-
tunity to obtain and secure these papers. Let
us have the disclosures they are officially an
nounced to contain. If, as Connolly declares,
they implicate his late associates, Sweeny and
Hall, in frauds such as he himself stands
branded with, we shall insist upon their
removal from the offices they now fill.
suffer them to appoint friendly deputies, to
transfer their active official duties to these
subordinates and to screen themselves from
punishment and public odium behind the skirts
of political confederates.

JOHN FOLEY has become a great man. He
has made his mark by his intrepid raid on the
Ring To him belongs the credit of enjoining
the Ring. He had the pluck to begin the legal
fight which resulted in fracturing the Ring in
two of its strongest points. No doubt John
has been honest in his acts-impellcd by
pure motives Of reform. But is be now pre-
pared TO enter the new ring combination Of
the ''outs?" Will he throw his prestige into
the scale against law and order, and side with
Slippery Dick, whom SO recently be denounced
as the head and front of municipal corrup-
tionp What has honest John to say?

LATEST FROM CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsR.-we
publish an interesting account Of recent
Interview with Chief Justice Chase held with
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer
at waukesha, Wis, on the lth Instant
The friends Of the venerable Chief Justice will
be gratiHcd to learn that be has entirely re-
covered bis health, and that he will probably
resume bis seat on the Supreme Bench at the
October term. In bis political views he en-
dorses the platform Of the Wisconsin democ-
racy, says the democrats have taken no new
departure, and that the change is simply a
return TO the principles of democracy as ad-
vocated by the great founders of the party.
The New York herald., 1871-09-19

THE POLITICIANS who are using the city
difficulties to get into Office themselves affect
to be satisfied with Connolly's appointment Of
Deputy Green and his retirement in favor Of
that gentleman. But do they remember their
own favorite name for the Comptroller,
''Sippery Dick?" Do they know how soon
Connolly, after having trapped them, may
resume the active duties Of his office, turn out
Green and slip out Of their fingers?
The New York herald., 1871-09-19

| Governor Hoffman, republican reorganiza-
iion of our city government will speedily
| follow.
| But as the late government of the republi-
cans here, with its independent aud irrespon-
sible commissions, was failure, we have no
very sanguine hopes of any great improve
meht in our municipal affairs under another
republican experiment. '''9Tisre the carcass
Is there will the vultures be GATHERED to-
gether," by whatever name you call them.
But Tammany has overdone her appointed
task, and the temper of the public mind is now
"anything for q change" So the State OF
New York, in our judgment, will be lost to the
democratic party in November, and, with New
York gone, with all the attendant demoraliza-
tions of the party, what hope will there be
for the democracy in the coming Presidential
contest? Apparently no hope whatever except
the unsubstantial hope of Mcawber, that
something may turn up" And something
may turn up. The leading active and pro-
gressive democrats Of the United States may,
from the overthrow of the power and prestige
of Tammany, realize the necessity of still
another ''new departure" in the shape of
new organization for the Presidency from
stem to stern, and q new platform, cutting
loose this new party from all the dead leaders,
dead men, dead issues and defunct associa-
tons Of the past.
From the shape that this Tammany imbrog
lilo has now assumed, and from the general
drift Of the public opinion of the country
against the democratic party identified with
Tammany, as it now stands, only in some such
new departure as this can there be even a
respectable fight made against the reelection
of General Grant. On the other hand, in the
new departure of new party organization
there is still time enough for action, and there
are still floating materials enough from which,
with the debris of the democratic party, to
form a powerful opposition party for 1872.
The Democratic Union party might do for q
name, and the principles suggested by Chief
Justice Chase, with the Chief Justice or some
such universally acceptable man as standard
bearer, would serve very we'll for the initial
platform of this new party movement. Other
wise General Grant will walk over the course
in 1872, and a scrub race will inaugurate
new organization of parties in 1876.

Can Mob Rule New York s-What Il
OF tho Situation.
There Is nothing easier of solution than the
present complications in New York. When
in doubt as to what is expedient let us ask
what is right. There is no axiom in moral
philosophy more settled than this that the
end never justifes the means. In the interest
of what is called reform and good government
we are asked to approve one of the most
fragrant usurpations Of power ever known ia
our municipal history. There is, of course, a
great mist Of reform and 'purity of the laws"
and all manner of phantoms floating before
the minds OF the people, and here and there
skipping in all directions some foolish Will
o'-the-Wisp scheme or other which we are
called upon to follow as a new guiding star,
But, stunning these foolish diversions, let us
look the whole Tammany situation square in
the face and see just what is right and what
is wrong.
Primarily, then, we have a government Of
New York. Whatever may be said of it, or
of the character Of the men who control it. il
is a government of the people-.made by the
people, for the people. 1t is their will, and
our only recognized expression Of free muni-
cipal authority. Over it presdes the Mayor,
the chief executive officer and as much the
head of the corporation of New York as
General Grant is the head of the republic of
the United States. For good or for evil, the
citizens of this city have taken our Mayor unto
themselves as their chief magistrate until they
elect his successor or remove him by duo
process Of law. They have done neither
They have not as yet proposed to do
either. Any crppling of bis functions. any
emasculation of his constitutional powers, is
revolution. We do not consider Mr.. Hall in
the case. Mr.. Hall, as a person, member Of
Tammany Hall or a constituent Of the Ring, is
nothing to us. The whole policy of the ring
has led to denominations that we cannot con-
slider without anger and pain. The argument
would hold as good were Mr.. Fernando Wood
or Mr.. Horace Greeley in his place. What do
we owe to the office? Where should law begin
and end2 How far should we consecrate and
accept usurpation? If to-day mob of gentle-'
men, headed by Mr.. Stebbins and Judge Pierre!
pont, can usurp executive powers, why
should not another mob, headed by Mr..
OBrien and Mr.. Morrissey, do the same thing
Tomorrow
Now, these are graver questions than may
appear upon the surface. We understand the
deep yearning in the bosoms Of the people for!
reform. For nearly forty years the HERALD
has been the exponent and champion Of that
feeling. The history of the HERA Id from the
beginning is tho history of successive, earnest
ard successful wars upon the corruptions of
parties in New York and tho nation. When
our English contemporary was mere sti
pendiary of Tammany, the apologst Of
Mr., Tweed and tho champion of persist.

even its present habitation was by q trick.
