SLAUGHTER OF INDIANs.-The Tue
son (Arizona) Citizen of the Sd of May
has the following:
A suffering and exasperated people
has commenced the work of retalia-
ton on Indians. Their patience has
been remarkable, but the killing of
four good citizens on the San Pedro,
by Indians fed and otherwise provid-
ed for at Camp Grant, exhausted it.
There Is no Indian reservation at
Camp Grant, but a few hundred Apa-
ches recently came in there, promised
peace, were fed and recruited. and
from thence went out to steal and
murder. Having traced the guilty
ones to this base of supplies, some two
weeks ago, the citizens determined to
make their power felt. On the 18th of
April n few of them, aided by 100 Pa
pago Indians, started on their mission
of revenge and self protection. Early
on the 30th they dashed on the Indian
camp, killing eightv-tive, and took
twenty-eight children prisoners. One
recently stolen from farmer Smith,
Tucson, vas captured. Unbroken
packages of center primed rifle cart
ridges. and a breast pin worth $500,
belonging to a woman recently killed
at Tubac, were found on these Indians,
making it a matter of certainty that
these Indians killed L.. Is. Wooster
and the woman on his farm. 1t is GER
tain the citizens Of Arizona will no
longer witness the murder of their
fellows and stealing of their property
and inotienSively endure it.

DISCLOSING or WILLIAMS.

In a CITY article i'm THE TRIBUNE of TIE 14th
it was stated that Mr.. John Williams, formerly
Assessor of Internal Revenue, had not long
since told some gentlemen Of Brooklyn that
Mr.. Schumacher had said, that of a very large
fee which he charged for examining titles to
the Prospect Park lands, he had only received
$1,000, the rest having been corruptly ABSORBED
by the Ring. The statement, OF course, very
much discomposed Mr.. Schumacher and he
came hurriedly down from Saratoga, and called
upon Mr.. Williams to deny the truth OF this
story which Mr.. Williams obligingly did, IN a
card to this paper. Mr.. Schumacher brought us
this denial and we promised to print it. 1t was
at once put in type, but an unexpected pres
sure of news crowded it and several other
matters of Importance over for twenty-four
hours Yesterday, The World has an impertinent
reference to the matter, in which 1t makes use
of the following language:
"On the day of the publication OF the above In THE
TRIBUNE Mr. John Williams the person named as hay-
ing made the statement which this Infamous libel was
printed called at Mr. shumakers place of business as
well IA at residence for the purpose of assuring Mr.
that he had made any such statement Failing 10

Mr. Schumacher say that there Is not one word
OF truth in the above article This card was, we are
informed taken by Mr. Schumacher to The TRIBUNE and
left with the editor in charge who promised to print It,
IL has not, however, been published. Nhat klnu OF
Journalism Is this, which permits gross libel 10 he
printed against citizen. and when furnished win PROOF
uptruth hesitates TO give pubcty 10 tne ueha OF
the very person whose alleged authority the hoei was
utteredf
The TRIBUNE printed yesterday Mr.. Will
lams's statement in full, and prints this morn
ing the editorial remarks of The World; but
as we do not regard the word of either of
these institutions as worthy to be taken with
out confirmation, we have further investigated
this case, and print the result in another
column from which it appears
1. That there is no truth in The UOrtdS ac-
count of the matter from beginning to end;
2. That two respectable gentlemen, Mr.. Ed
win Baker and Mr. Charles j. Sheppard,
affirm that they have heard Mr.. Williams
make the statement attributed to him in THE
TRIBUNE.
Mr.. Williams now finds it convenient to deny
that he has made any such statement. When
he made it he must have known whether 1T
was true or not. If it was false, he was
slanderer then if it was true, he is sneak
and craven now. AS for The World, which
has evinced such unprofessOnal zeal in the
matter, it mas given but another proof that it
does not understand the first principles OF hon
Orable journalism.

therefore, already made up: 1t is The feopio
against the Ring" No accident ana no
artlfce can change it.
What shall be the mode of action IN our
| Cityf
For many years. this journal has borne tes-
timony to the moral impossibility OF beating
the Ring otherwise than by combination re-
CARELESS of politics. We have great respect
for the courage, but little for the Judgment
of those who say, "Give us straIght-out
Republican ticket, and let us go down, IL
ego wo must, with our flag nailed TO the
"mast!n We do not impeach the honesty OF
these exhortations when we state the palpa-
BILE truth that the Ring could well afford to
| pay influential Republicans to reiterate them.
We hold, in exact contrariety to tho
above, that it is the plain duty of the Repub-
lcans to combine their efforts with those OF
such Democrats as are willing to act with US
on the common platform of resistance TO
wholesale peculation and municipal bank
ruptoy.
We heartily favor q combination this Fall
of all who want honest and frugal govern
ment and. if those who only detest stealing
when they are not the thieves will give us
any help 80 much tho better. We want the
very best men who will serve put up for
County offices, and we suggest that the selec-
ton of an excellent and popular German
for the best ofice-that of Register-wlll
probably be found judicious.
Twice have we done our best for Reform
tickets composed exclusively of Democrats
and we are quite willing to do 80 again but
others are not We could not induce all Re-
publcans to vote the Ledwith ticket last Fall !;
the like would be still moro difficult to do
this Fall. Many Republicans plausibly say
eve must give full half of the votes polled
"for any independent ticket, and we shall
withhold ours from any ticket whence Re-
publican names are rigidly excluded" We
do not sympathize with this view, but 80
many hold it that it will not be wise to defy
them.
Let us first have County Ticket that every
heartily anti-Ring voter will support; and then,
if we can further agree on candidates for the
Legislature, so much the better; but let us have
strong and popular anti-Tammany County
Ticket any how.
But for fraud such a ticket could surely
be elected by a rousing majority. Fraud may
beat it; for those who drop into the ballot
boxes one ballot at q time stand no chance
against those who chuck them in by the hand
full. And yet we feel that, should the adver-
saries of Tammany misrule heartily combine
and zealously work, they can and will beat the
Rings best efforts. At all events, they are
bound to try, as We trust they will.

THOSE CITY ACCOUNTS.

We give it up! The detailed accounts of
the Controllers receipts and disbursements on
behalf of the City or County for the two years
and half which began with January, 1869,
and closed with June, 1871, are not to be pub
lisbed. Promise after promise has been
broken, hope after hope dispelled, until we
have reached the latter half of August, yet
the long-expected publication is not made,
nor likely to be. Mayor Hall says that Controller
Connolly made out his statement either in
June or July, and handed 1t over
to him, to be incorporated in the exhibit then
put forth; but it did not appear with that ex-
hibit, has not appeared since, and dozen
promises of Tomorrow" Gin two or three
"days," and "next week." have already been
falsifed We presume it never will-at all
events, it will not appear as 1t was originally
made up. Should anything be sent out, the
essential facts will be smOthered under a
mountain of superauous busks and formulas.
In other words, the Ring cOnfesseB judgment.
1t dare not face its own records before the
public. 1t is fully aware that cOncealment
amounts TO plea of guilty; but it would
rather confess guilt in this way than prove it
by showing Its accounts. Charged from all
sides with enormous peculation and fraud, it
stands obstinately mute, or only puts forth its
punning, jesting mountebank of Mayor
jauntily to respond, in substance, "Tolerably

The Ring chooses to guard its own secrets.
1t holds no obloquy it may incur by withhold
ing its accounts equal to the storm 1t would
raise by publishing them. So consider it set

wrenched from the City's safes by legal
process.

The Coroner's jury in the lamentablc affair
at Plttston, Pa.-by which seventeen men
came to their deaths-have rendered their
verdict. They find that the men were suffo-
Gated by nOxiOus gases, forced down upon
them by an explosion or caving of the
roof. The evidence shows that this
might have been prevented by proper precau-
tons, and the jury so declare. But with an
amiable desire to shield any possibly response
bic parties, the jury go on to say that Mr..
Tompkins, the principal owner of the mine,
and Inspector Blewitt, are not to blame, the
former having been sick and the latter busy
attending to his legitimate duties. If
the accident could have been prevented by
the exercise of proper vigilance, somebody
must be to blame for not exercising that vigi-
lance We regret that the COrOner'S jury has
not more distinctly indicated who these blame
worthy persons are.

TAMMANY ACCOUNTS.

We publish this morning an extract from the
official records of the County Government during
the last three years, showing a certain portion
of the accounts as they have been dressed up
by Tammany for the public eye and in the
most favorable light in which it is possible to
place them. Even so, they are bad enough to
disgrace any administration. In printing this
version of the transactions with Ingersoll
| Garvey, Miller, and the others, we do not mean
to imply that it is more correct than the YER
| sion already published but we choose that Our
readers should see Tammany's own account of
the matter We have been accused of accept
ing garbled extracts from the Controllers
books, and listening to the tales OF black
mailers disappointed claimants, and discharged
clerks. Very well; let the Ring speak for it.
self; we are content to go to judgment with
out other testimony.
1t is proper to observe that the accounts
herewith presented do not purpOrt to cover
the same transactions as the accounts pre-
viOusly presented in The Times and The
TRIBUNE. The latter represents the warrants
drawn by the Controller-that is to say, the
payments-while these others are acceptances
which may have been taken up by this time,
or nav, for aught the books show, remain
charged against the County, to be paid at
some future time. The payments in all these
years have undoubtedly been much heavier
than the acceptances. The City accounts
are not included. These figures refer to the
County government alone.
There are comparatively few entries for
the year 1870. This is easily accounted
for. The Ring has demanded that we
should give the new charter years
patient trial, and has promised that we should
witness under it a great economical reform.
Ingersoll, Garvey, and Co. have accordingly
been instructed to keep back their bills until
1871, when, if all goes well, a rush of deferred
accounts may confidently be looked for. 1t
may take us three or four years to find out
what the expenditures for 1870 actually have
been. Evidently the breaking of all Mayor
Halls promises for speedy publication indi-
Gates that the members of the Ring persist in
hiding the accounts because they dare not
publish them-preferring the odium of con-
cealment to the infinitely greater Odium of
exposure to scrutiny. Meanwhile this morn
ing's exhibit is monstrOus enough to give us
serious reflection, and we beg that voters of
both parties will study it with care.

HOW TO AVOID An EXTRAV4G1NT
Strict OPENING,

There can be no question that the communica-
ton between Madison-ave. and Broadway at
Twenty thrd-st ought to be improved, by
giving to the lower end Of MadisOn-square the
shape of Union square, and also by cutting Oft
such portion of the lot on the southeast corner
of Twenty-third-st. and Broadway as would
permit sufficient curve to enable the upward
Broadway travel, in vehicles, to turn easily
towards Madson-ave.
The policy pursued by the Commissioners in
taking off from the west side of the Park a
strip of land for street purposes, amounts to
an assertion of the principle that the change
suggested on the other side of the square can
be made, and, inasmuch as in this way the
enormous charge upon an extensive district
threatened by the proposed continuation of
Madison ave. into Broadway, through several
valuable blocks, would be avoided, the change
would meet with general approval.
1t would of course require legislative action
to complete the plan by authorizing the taking
of part of the lot at the corner of Broadway
and Twenty third-st. for the curve suggested
at that point, but its cost would be trifling,
compared with that of tho extension of the
avenue to Nneteenth-st. at Broadway, and it
would serve a better purpose The alteration
in the shape of Madison-square, however, is
within the power of the Park Commissioners,
and it is mainly because the square is now
undergoing an entire change, and because but
little additional expense would be caused by
it. that we call attention to an improvement
which will greatly benefit MadisOn-ave. and
all the streets which cross it in the upper part

A couple of essays have recently been pub
lished in England by the Rev. MIR. Forbes, III
which, with good deal of real shrewdness
and professed liberality, he reviews the cOndi-
ton of women in France in all their social
and domestic relations, principally dealing with
the women of the middle class. His state
ments are of peculiar interest tous, IA by another
road. than suffrage these women have very
nearly gained the social position coveted by
their contemporaries here, who regard the ballot
as the catholic remedy for all ills. women
Gin France says Mr.. Forbes, "above the low
"est class, usually have money. Parents starve
themselves to give a daughter her dot, for
"if she have none she becomes an old maid
"Wives in the middle class, more generally

has been degraded into a business expedient
love into a vicious passion. There is an
utter absence of all legal protection
for virtue. Action at law for sedac-
ton or breach of promise is unknown.
Love is "freen in the sense that every
woman is at liberty to choose her own lover
and lives with her husband as business
partner, with whom mutual singleness is
generally maintained through life of sham
"forbearance." Mr.. Forbes, with true English
logic, draws from this dreary picture the

s1NL AMONG TIE PROPHETS


We have repeatedly stated the fact that no
party exists in this country which would or
dare establish Free Trade if it could. There
are millions ready enough to cavil at this or
that detail of our present Tariff
"Say here he gives too little, there too mucb;'
but, when pinned down to framing a Tariff TO
be enacted, no one who has any power or weight
consistently eschews the principle of Protec-
ton.
The EVening Post is "a Free Trade az they
make them in this longitude; yet it tells the
Leather men and Shoe interest that they could
both do great deal better if the duty on
imported Hides were abolished, and that this
should be done. Now that duty is exactly
ten per cent-one dollar for every ten dollars
worth of Hides impOrted-which cannot en-
nance the average price of Hides throughout
our country more than fire per cent, or that
of Leather more than three per cent. 10 save
this sum, the Leather and Shoe interests are
invited to join the crusade against Protection.
Now suppose Protection were utterly dlsre-
garded and repudiated, and duties levied with
reference to Revenue alone, should not I'M

We defy any man to say No, and justify his
position on any other ground than that or
Protection. In other words: If you exact
twenty-five or thirty per cent. on Tea ana
Coffee Sugar and Iron, yet admit Hides at
five per cent. or free, you so discriminate for
