The HARBoR MASTERS of New York appear

The HARBoR MASTERS of New York appear
to be little better than the rest of that unfor-
tunate city's officials. The Tribune yesterday
had an exposure of their frauds. 1t says the
exactions of the quarantine doctor, of port
wardens and of harbor masters are certainly
bringing about crisis predicted In shipping
circles generally. Also, that the power with
which the State statute invests barber masters
has made them arrogant to degree only
equalled by the bOldness with which the health
officer commits his extortiOns. They have
power to stop the loading or unloading of any
and every vessel lying at the piers Of the city,
and they are judges as to whether vessel sha
be discharged or not. Gases are frequent where
a ship has been forced to move to other piers
than those at which they were discharging, for
the reason that the harbor- master desired to
put vessels which would pay him more money
in berths which they at the time occupied.
They have an average of $4,000 year in law
full fees. These they more than quadruDle by
an infamous system of Matchmaking which out
of New York has no parallel, the world over.
Many of the piers are lying idle, and in every
case it Is only because the owners of vessels re-
fuse to pay harbOr-masters extra rates. Own
ers of wharves who pay to the city dock COM
missOners from $4,000 to $1,000 per annum are
by this means prevented from receiving wharf
age due them, and with the ship owners snffer
severely from the corrupt city officials and
their subalterns. The system of bribe taking
has been continued, harbor-masters laughing
at and defying detection, and they even go so
far as to say that the charges OF the towage
companies are outrageous. They have even
increased their exactions in the past few weeks,
from $50 to $100 rendered for services worth
from $40 to $35. Several affidavits are pub
hshed from merchants and others who have
suffered these exactiOns.

1,xpayers, and who is suspected of having
leen deeply implicated in the theft of the
vouchers. His followers are so numerous
ard reckless, that they would not take sec
oua thought about plucking their chief out of
the clutches of the law. SO Mr.. Tweed will
go at large, rejoicing III his great possessions.
as secure as one OF those great robber
chiefs of the middle ages who laid waste a
whole country and then retired scathless to
his strong castle, loaded with booty.
This Tweed is Tammany. Other men are
known as widely, and hold more RESPONSIBLE
pubic positions. Hoffman is Governor and
Hall is Mayor, but Tweed, who is only a
state Senator and the incumbent of some
subordinate municipal office, is the master OF
Doth. He issomething more than "the pow

Iammany are only his puppets. He is, in

ly venal legislation that has made the very

is a giant a colossus whom the New York
world is surprised to find suddenly bestriding
it,-tor few years ago he was only COM
m IN rough, as vulgar as Morrssey in his hon.
est prize fighting days.
We shall never fully realize what narrow
escape we have had from Tweed The idea
OF making him a national institution was not
very extravagant one If kind providence
had not permitted the disclosure of the gil
gantic frauds in the commission of which he
had Inverted himself while getting ready fol
more brilliant career at Washington, moth
ing could have prevented his having his Mr.
Hoffman nominated for the Presidency next
year by the Democracy. Aud with the mil
lions of money he could put into the specula

established in most of the States, his pros
pect of success would not have been hopeless
The prestige of having delivered the Empir

LATER advices from New castle on-Tyne give
interesting particulars of the recent demon
stratiOn among the workmen in that region.
The mass meeting on the moor, few days ago
the streets. Many reigners-Germans, Bel
gians and French "CommQne men"-were also
in the procession and made speeches on the
moor. They were greeted with hearty cheers.
Notwithstanding their alleged grievances, the
men behaved then and have behaved since
with admirable good sense and patience. They
are evidently OF a superior order of mechanics.
A curious feature OF this strike, as conducted
by the masters, is the kind of hands they have
imported into Newcastle. Among the Belg ian
hands are many of the men who fought for the
"CommuDe, and who escaped from Paris be-
fore the Versaillsts arrived. These men not
only refuse to work tor their new Tory employ
ers, but give advice of the Karl Marx and In
ternationa Society quality to the Tyneside
men on strike, who are told that they ask too
little and put up with too much. The Com
munists are scandalized at being protected by
police with wooden truncheOns, saying they
know the use OF the musket and bayonet, and
are quite able to protect themselves. They do
not care for women hooting at them, or men
either, and are anxious to take the field on
their own account. Others understand TIE
English mode of fighting within the law, and
fighting with it; but such advice as these fierce
Unionsts of CreuzOt and Paris are giving upon
the Tyneside is very surprising, especially
since it is the Tory employer who has brought
these desperate artisans to England, paid their
expenses over, given them higher wages than
he gave his own men, and clothed them into
the bargain. The masters seemed demeEted
1t was known that Sir VIM. Armstrong is in
favor of an unqualified arbitration, and that
time and wages shall all be referred to such
arbitration ifthe men will consent and accept
able arbitratOrs can be found. But the masters
determined that this shall not occur and the
men were kept in ignorance of the proposition.
