THE RING IN P4NIO.

The vacillations of the Ring grow more
pitable every hour. On Monday we saw the
feeble and ill-advised attempt of the Mayor
to remove the Controller and to appoint in
his place gentleman whose reputation for
personal honor and integrity might be supposed
to be of advantage to the repute of Tammany,
and whose lack of acquaintance with munich
pal politics was probably the foundation of their
hope that he might help them out of their terri
BILE straits But both branches of this plan failed,
as they ought to have been sure they would.
The present occupants of the Controllers
Office held it, sustained as well by the I'M
doubted support of the statute as by the
equally pronounced opinion of the city. And
i'll view of the universal condemnation of the
strategy of the Ring, Gen. Mcclellan declined
to assist them in this illegal attempt to stay
the tide of their defeat. If there had been
ever so strong a conviction in the Mayors
mind that his new reading of the law was a
sound one, the opinion of Mr.. Charles
OConor was calculated to sickly even
his native hue of irresOlution with the
pale cast of thought. There was a little
twisting and turning with no more efficiency
and purpose than that of rats in cage, and
at last the Mayor, who seems to have retained
not even enough strength of will to enable
him to change his own mind, asked the Cor
poration Counsel to persuade him out of his
purpose, which the glib and facile OGorman
at once proceeded to do.
1t would be a cruel and at the same time a
needless work to dissect in detail this trivial
and inconsequent letter OF the Corporation
Attorney. In quiet times it might afford a
davis laughter to men of the law. But there
is no leisure and no occasion to occupy our
selves seriously with a paper so fiimsy and
disiointed, stretched as bundle of straw to
break the fall of the Mayor from his high
horse of Monday. "f you had the right to
remove, Connolly would MT 60. If you tried to
"put him out. he would make a row. Mr..
"O'COnor is against us, and Gen. Mcclellan will
mot 70 in. Your points are excellent ones, but
would we not do better to give them up for
I" the sake of peace and Quietnessp This is
not an unfair summary of Mr.. OGOr-
mans soc allied opinion. One would think
that after such strain of his intellectual
powers and such wrench to his moral nature
as are involved in this effort, Mr.. OGorman
would like to keep quiet while. But both
he and the Mayor seem to have been bitten
10y some epstOlary tarantula which keeps them
continually writing. After finishing the above
mentioned letter, MIR. OGOrman nibbed q

fresh quill and sent another to the Mayor,
suggesting that % he had been very
busy for somo time, it was not in
his power to attend to the rOgues
who had been robbing the city; but now that
he had somewhat reduced his arrears OF cor
respondcnce and had leisure for other THINGS
it might bc amusing to prosecute some OF the
thieves incriminated by Barnard. Ii he ex-
pcctcd any instructions, he was dlsappolhtcu
The Mayor is evidently sick OF taking tho
initiative lie answers CURLY, This Is your

made such rapid progress in the ias' 10"
weeks that we will accept no fur'hcr co''-
promises or compositions win 'ne ch-
omy. The whole organization which has
fostercd and protected the wholesale spolia-
tions of the last few years is SO thoroughly
corrupt that it cannot be reformed it cannot
be cured by the ampuatiOn of any OF It's
members. 1t must fail all at once and to-
gether. We may now hope with some degree
of reason that the robbers of our city are
to be brought to justice and restitution
But it is not possible that those whose
hands are unclcan can DO lntruStcd
with this wcighty service. The arraiSnment
of Tammany cannot be left to the Ring. This
idle tIinng of Hall aud OGorman will deceive
no one, not even themselves There is gen
uine panic at last among the thrifty tools OF
the Ring, who begin to be hopeless oil that
blowing over of which they talked so gllbly
not long ago. Our Washington dispatches
have shown how that prudent father OF a
family, Connolly, is transferring his saw
ngs into other hands. 1t is rumortd that
Woodward, Ingersoll, Garry, and others have
made assignments of their property and are
preparing for journey to Europe. kcyser,
either because lie feels less guilty or more
courageous than the others, proposes to stay,
and may, perhaps, attempt to initiate Con-
molly by turning States evidence against the rest
In this proposed flight of the principal plum
derers there are two points to bc gained They
take themselves out of harms way, and also
out of the reach of the subpoena OF the Courts,
which might force them into embarrassing
revelations We are getting on so well and
so rapidly, that it is scarcely fair to hurry our
Committees But it is to be hoped they will
not permit the escape uDqucstioned of such

TIE LESSON OF THE DEFALC1TIONS.

When the Civil Service Reform Commission
meets again-if it ever does-t may very pro-
perly take cOgnizance Of the defalcations which
have just attracted SO much attention to the
public service of the country. How was it
possible for men who did not possess the first
of the Jeffersonian qualifications for Office
hOnesty-to be kept in placef And how did
it happen that they so long eluded detectlOnf
We do not consider that reform of the SER
vice which aims at ascertaining the qualitca-
tons of candidates for office and stops there
is adequate to the emergency. Such reform
as we hope to see adopted will not only make
it next to impossible for dishonest men to get
into places of trust, but will remove from office
holders all influences calculated to tempt them
from the paths of rectitude Men are frail, and
the best of them may well pray for delverance
from the temptations which often surround the
trusted Government official. Here is Pay
master drawing comparatively small salary,
almost unmatched, with an unlimited credit
against his name in the United States Treas
ury, and with twenty million dollars
passing through his hands in six years We
are not pleading in extenuation of the Pay
masters sin when we say that his temptation
proved too much for his virtue but this is
merely record of the facts in the case. And
this is mainly true of many other officers OF
the Government; it is true also of their sub
ordinates. 1t should be corrected as far as
possible. When we have our model Civil
Service, we shall see, not spies and infOrners
Oh every hand, but officials justly paid and
looking to their salaries as certain income,
so long as they do their duty.
The great plague of our political system is,
undoubtedly that feeling of insecurity which
makes every public officer doubtful of the
tenure of his official life and inspires count
less mulitudes with vague hope that they
may be Gin" and others soon be "out." Sevep-
eighths of the voting population seem to be
anxious to live off the other eighth. This is
what makes Office hunting one Of the most
popular pursuits Of the time. But upon the
"ins this insecurity is quite CO demoralizing
as on the "outsn Men who hold Office by the
uncertain breath of politicians favor have
small incentive to Spartan virtue in the eIer-
else ofsthcir duties. The best, most competent,
most pains taking official, and most thoroughly
devoted to the Government is as likely to be
sacrificed Tomorrow to the local political
needs Of the Representative from his district.

without cost or are about to sail on their first

Through the duplicity of those who offered him the
Controership, Gen. Mcclellan was subjected, on
Monday, to unjust aspersions upon his sagacity and
his patriotism. 1t now appears that at the very
hour when the City Hall was giving forth the i'm
preston that the General held the appointment
under advisement, the Mayor was in possession Of
his refusal to accept AS I'VE did the General yester
day the injustice to repeat the incorrect impression
that lie had hesitated moment before the overtures
of Tammany, we now take pleasure in acknowledge
ing our error and in congratulating him and his
friends upon the prompt and publicspirited manner
in which he repealed all utilization with that desperate
and INSCRIPTIONS organization.

One cannot but admire the pluck and intel
licence with which the Usage Indians near
Fort Smith, Arkansas, have lately turned the
tables on the ovcrbearing white settlers of
that region. The proud Caucasians, missing
their horses, naturally turn upon the
aborigines as the likely thieves The Osages
deny the soft impeachment, and offer to assist
in hunting for the lost property, designating
their own camp as the first place to be exam
ined. To this the Caucasians demur, and
insist upon taking enough animals from the
Usage party to make good their loss. The
Osagcs resist, take seven of the white men
prisoners and deliver them over to the United
States Marshal, charged with larceny and
assault. This may be aptly called triumph
of civilization, and it shows the noble red
man in the character of q friend to law and

The commissioners under the Treaty of
Washington, who are to meet on Monday next,
undertake long and arduous task.
The claimants who will como before them will
be numerous, and there are many intricate
points in maritime and international law to
be considered but the duties of the Com
missioners are plainly set forth in the de-
claration that they are required to sub
scribe: that they will impartially and carefully
examine and decide, to the best of their judg-
ment, and according to justice and equity, all
such cases as shall be laid before them. Their
task will be greatly facilitated by the conf
dence of each Commissioner in the fairness of
his colleagues, and we have every reason to
believe that in this respect, the best feeling
prevails.
