THE FARCE OF TIE COMMON JAILERS


EnDED,
The net result of some months of mean
malice on tho part of Senators COnkling and
Carpenter is seen in our dispatches from Wash
ington this morning. The indictment against
our correspondents which was framed with
such careful cunning at the demand of these
two eminent persons has been quashed by
the Judge of the Criminal Court of the
district as soon as the matter could be laid
before him. Thus ends the most absurd at
tack upon the press ever perpetrated at the
bidding of malignity and spite. The story
seems almost incredible as it, is re-
viewed. TIE TRIBUNE printed an important
niece of news which the whole country
had right to know, and the publication of
which could injure no interests either public
mr. nrivate. Mr.. Roscoe Conkling. influenced
by a small personal hostility against this
journal, thought he would annoy our cor
respondents by forcing them to reveal the
sources of their information. He fashioned the
waxen nose Of his friend Mr.. Carpenter to
assist him in the inquisitiOn. Our correspond
ents having better-developed idea Of duty
and honor than these two Senator'S, declined
to answer their impairment questions. and
were punished by an imprisonment which
their small-spirited prosecutors, clamoring
loudly for "the Common Jail,n would like to
have made perpetual and degrading, but
which became, through the sympathy
and adhesion .of decent men, rather a
triumph than punishment. The Senate, with
sober second thought released them, against
the frantic protests of Common Jailers Copk
ling and Carpenter, and in. the vacation in
cold blood, at the call (through the Senate) of
these two magnanimous creatures, was con-
cocted the criminal prosecution which has just
ineloriously fallen through. Thus has ended
the whole farce. When the Senate, at the
demand Of the Common Jail Senators, began
the original investigation, we save them
notice that 1t would prove an utter and
ridiculous failure. 1t did. When they at
tempted to imprison '"our correspondents
for contumacy,% we gave them notice
that it would end in bringing the Sem
ate into contempt: 1t did. When, under the
angry demand of our New-York Common
Jailer an order was. made to turn the case over
to tho criminal courts, We gave notice that 1t
would prove only prolongation of the dis
creditabls farce. 1t did. And when at last an
indictment was framed. we gave notice that
it would fall through. 1t has." We now COM
mend studious contemplation of the figure
they have cut to the Common Jalers of the
Senate themselves, and to the Press of the
Country. 81
With that, We might diomi,, the whole D,osc-

cution, with the prosecutors TO the limbo of
measureless contempt. But it is well enough,
first, to fix attention for a. moment on the
points of this case It is not the business Of
the Press to keep the secrets Of the Gov
crnmcnt when the Government docs
not keep them itself. But this was
not Government secret. The President had
requested the publication; and the document
came to lls, as hundreds of other matters do, in
the legitimate course OF business. We used it,
instructed our cOrrcspondcnts to answer tho SEN
atc's questions so far az was necessary for tho
exculpation of every Senator or employee OF
the Senate and no further and on that stood.
1t was distinct struggle for the right Of the
journalist to the protection of professional
secrets, like that of the lawyer, the physician,
or the clergyman. 1t was not our struggle,
but that of the profession. We have carried
our case; but the principle is not yet def
initely affirmed. Now that all personal
questions are eliminated, will not the Press
agree upon it that hereafter any member OF
the profession is to be protected in refusing
to 20 beyond the point Of exculpating mem
bcrs of the body having a right to make the
inquiry in disclosing the Sources of any III
formation he may PUBLISH

OHIO.

The election in Ohio next Tuesday is COM
plicatcd by an issue which shows tho natural
tendency of third parties to defeat the very ends
they were organized to promote. Tho lesson
is 80 instructive and 80 widely applicable that
we will present the leading facts:
The late Legislature OF Ohio passed an excel
lent law in regulation and restraint OF tipping
houses Though not an act of Prohibition, IL
bids fair to do more good than Prohibitory
acts have usually effected, while far less
obnoxious than they. 1t simply provides that
whoever sells the liquor whereby any ono Is
subjected to harm or. loss shall be liable 70
respond in damages to the injured party !;
and, in case he prove irresponsible, then tho
owner of the premises on which the sale was
made if he had due notice that liquor was
sold there, must face the music. This act, 1t
need hardly be said, was mainly passed by
Republican votes, and will be kept on the
statute book by such votes, if kept there
at all.
In view of. these facts, men who profess to
act in the interest Of Temperance have de-
libcrately nominated distinctive anti-Liquor
tickets for State Officers and Legislators, apd
are doing their utmost to obtain votes Tor
them. They do not hope to elect them; but
they have joyful trust that they can draw
off votes enough from tho Republican candi-
dates to elect their Democratic competitors,
who will of course make haste to repeal the
multiplying act! This is just about the
average sense and honesty evinccd by third
partics and it is very likely to insure not
only the repeal of the law aimed at saloons
and other drunkerios, but to enable another
Democrat to slip into the U. S. Senate in de-
fiance of Republican majority Of Ten to
Twenty Thousand.
We cntreat the Ohio voters who mean Tenn
pcrance not to lend themselves to this suicidal
folly. They can save both the Senator and
the multiplying act if they will only act like
rational beings

Incomplete estimates of the expense Of car
ryiifg on tho several Departments of the City
Government fix tao appropriations for 1871 at
$12,23S,84 H. Enormous as this sum may ap-
pear, it is far below the truth. In 1868 tho
expenditures for the Departmcnts-the current
expenses, in fact, of the City Government, and
these on1y-aggrcgatcd S25OOOOOO. In 1869
they ran up to $2s, 900; and last year were
over S3O,OOO,OC0. In May last the alpropria-
tons for 1871 were fixed at something near
$l8OO0,OOO, hut they have since been reduced
about S2,OOOOOO in consequence of the present
agitation. At this rate the Ring unchecked
would have cost us this year fully $i0,OO0.OOO.

The Sun quotes the statement of THE TRIB-
UNE that Mr.. schuyler's raised bills for lum-
Der were approved by William N. Tweed, and
adds the truthful comment that this state
"ment is damaging one to Mr.. Tweed. I'm
less he can prove. it to be untrue, it appears
to settle against him the charge that he was
directly partner to the fraud committed
through these altered bills" Of the truth
of the statement The Sun need have no doubt.
There is ample evidence though the bills be
lost, that they were presented at the Con-
troller's Office for payment by James Watson,
late County Auditor, and that each was
approved by William NJ. Tweed, In some
instances M Deputy Street Commissioned; and
in others az Commissioner of Public Works

in consequence of the sudden breaking. up OF
our Tammany Ring. 1t is an i'll wind that
blows no good. and we observe that,
in addition to this unexpected help
to the Washington people, the Tammany cx-
posures have set men, all over the country, to
watching their own city authorities, suspccting
Tammany cOrruptions, in a small way, in their
own local governments. 1t is little hard
that Ncw-York should have to pay so dearly
for a great moral and political lesson for the
whole nation. But there is some small salts
faction in furnishing "the awful example"

TIE NEXT ASSAULT on TIE RING.

TIE NEXT ASSAULT on TIE RING.
The battle against the Ring is already more
than half won. Tho exposure of Ring extrav-
agance has destroyed Tammany Hall a.
political power in the State, and in the City
il has no more strength and less reverence
than Mozart Hall. The Democratic Conven-
ton ut Rochester must either throw Tweed
and his colleagues overheard or the party In
this State will bc inevitably wrecked by
them. This part of tho cOnflictsis. therefore,
GAINED: all further proofs of Tammany's ex-
trayagance which may be printed can only
help to increase the panic and confuse the
rout of the Ring.
But the complete victory will not be assured
until honest men are in the public places held
by the Ring. Some of the men who are most
guilty, or have been most reckless in expend-
Ing tho public money (and this itself is crime),
have leases of three years on the offices they
disgrace and prostitute to their selfish ends.
They must not be permitted to retain
their places. Resignation or impeachment
must be insisted upon, and all efforts
of tho lawyers, the Committees, and
the papers fighting in the true interests OF the
people, should be directed to that end. Other
Departments OF the City Government must be
rescued, like that of the Finances, and placed
in the hands of honest men. If the positions
held by Sweeny, and Hall, and Tweed are not
carried, the battle will have been fought almost
in vain and will result in nothing but the
temporary check to extravaganza already
achieved by the exposures of the last two
months. This will be virtual defeat, which,
from their present vantage ground, the people
do not expcct. These men must be prosecuted,
and the Ring must be driven to resign.

The y Times sees fit, in differing with
another journal, TO intimate that THE TRIBUNE
assails Collector Murphy because he is not of
it's peculiar stripe in politics, and because it
wants his place for some one like - Hank
"Smithr or "Rufe Andrews" Without de-
Gliding that the gentlemen thus spoken OF are
or are not justly obnoxious to such disparage-
ment, we arc impelled to say that the only
person whose appointment as Collector we
ever solicited was our intimate personal and
political friend, the late Gen. HIRAM WAL
BRIDGE, whose integrity and fidelity to every
trust were never questioned. Gen. Grant
responded to our appeal that he had, at very
early day, decided to tender that place to tho
Hon. MOSES II. GRINHELL. We at once re-
piled that he could find no man more trust
wortLy'or deserving; and that was the end OF
the matter We thus know that Mr. Grinnell
was appointed not as a Conkling or FentOn
man, but as Grant man, as he truly was.
And no one ever lisped censure on that
selection.
Gen. Grant has since seen at to displace Mr..
.Grinnell to make room for Thomas muddy
removing at the same time Gen. Merritt (hlS
own appointmen) to give Mr.. Grinnell the
Naval office. Yet little while, and he ejected
Mr.. 0rinnel without notice from the Naval
Office in order to bestow it on Mr.. Addison
II. Latin; ct the same time ousting Gen.
Palmer from the Appraisership to insert WI
liam A. Darling. Gems. Merritt ard Palser
were friends of Gov. FentOn; we never neard
another fault laid to their charge. Messfs'
Murphy, Latin, and Darling, we are happy 10
say, belong to another school. =.
Il seems to us very clear that the systematic
prescription of one-half Of great party Is not
the way to promote its harmony anu that the
proscriber is not the man TO WORK 'na' party
