NEW YORK, September %.
The opponents of the Ring complain now
that the committee of seventy do not move
fast enough against the enemy. The Times,
which first led the assault upon them, COM
plains, in a leader this morning. that Hall,
Tweed, Connolly and Sweeny ought to have
been placed under arrest ere now, and Is In
dirnant that the committee do nothing but
lose valuable time, and pass empty resolutions.
&c. This dissatisfaction, 1t may be said, Is be-
ginning to be echoed elsewhere.
The Mail, which is sort OF organ OF Inc
seventy, comes up to their defence this even
ing. It claims that great resu Is have already
been secured. The acting comptroller, more
over, we are told, has secured evidence that
will cencict every prominent member OF the
Ring, and that evidence will be used oy the
committee, with unreaxing Vlgor, II the peo'
pie will only have patience.
The committee were In session TOR two hours
this afternoon, aud, as usual, with closed doors.
The only business of importance transacted, SO
il is understood, was the appointment OF law
committee, to act iu conjunction with the COM
mittee on remedies, also committee TO urge
before the Legislature revision Of the char
ter.
The committee have Issued an address TO the
people appealing to citizens of both parties to
cave the city and the State from the possibility
of another such degradation as has fallen on
oil of us. They say the money that has been
accumulated from the spois OF the metropolis
will be poured out like water to procure the
election of purchasable legislators, but thai II
will be spent In vain wherever the people are
aroused by few earnest leaders. Inc eoun-
try is called upon to help the city, on the
ground that If the city is overourdened with
taxes the country has to pay us the more for
doing its business. The address adds: I'm
our glorious resurrection OF public virtue the
humiliatlons OF the past will oe forgotten as o
hateful dream, and every institution OF society
and politics will feel the elevatlng influence OF
revived confidence In honesty and justice.
The address is signed by the seventy.
Mrs Hagerty, wife of the supposed voucher
thief of that name, has been released oy JUS
tice Ledwth, after giving $4,000 bonds to ap-
pear and answer when called upon.
At the City Hall the word to-day Is that
s.Tammany stock is up," and that the hing
magnates on the whole are feeling much pet.
ter. The mass meeting for 1.-THE Boss" last
evening, they say. has done something 10
stem the current of public opinion that was
setting go strong against him, while the 90
nothing policy OF the committee OF seventy Is
accepted as an Indication that that body Is ln'
disposed to 20 any further than they have gone
already. Mayor Hall, too, is quite J0Vial, ano
cracks his Jokes In the Leader US bllthely as OF
old. Mr.. Connolly says that he has reason to
believe that Tammany Sachems, at their meet.
Ing on Monday night, will endorse him, while
Peter B. Sweeny has no doubt that "tne WORST
of the storm has blown over"
A meeting of prominent bank officials Is to
be held this evening, to consult as to the ex'
pedlency of rendering the acting ComptrolleI
Green sufficient funds to enable him to tide
over the existing emergency without impair
Ing the city credit. The school teachers. the
laborers on the public works and the EN-
ployees OF the board OF health, are oil the
creditors of the city, and are becoming clam
orous for settlement.
Monday promises to be an eventful day.
The alleged voucher.thieves will be again 10
court, and there are rumors that one OF them
has promised to turn States evidence, ir
which case the public will know who It wa:
that hired them to do the Job. Mayor Hall, II
is understood, has urged this course upor
Baulch.
The clergy continue to help work upon the
excitement. Several Sunday sermons have
city corruption for their theme, not only here
but in Brooklyn and Jersey City also.
