70 institute proceedings against the men
who have stolen money from the city treas
ury. 1t fears that the present District At
torney is too intimately connected with

upon compulsion, and therefore If Gov.

prove the insinuations that he has been
aided in the schemes of the ring and at
the same time vindicste his reputation.
The Tribune Defines Radicalism.
The action of the Union Republican
organization is delaying call for the State
Convention till the last of September is
this morning strongly condemned by the
Tribune. 1t says that the organization
of the Republican party in this CITY was
a movement on the part of Federal Office
holders and aspiants for Government
places, to further personal objects, Sc
cure the reelection of Senator Roscoe
Conkling. The chairman of the State
Committee, Mr. Cornell, holds the best
Federal Office in the city, and has delayed
opening the canvass to within a few
weeks Of the election in order to pack it
with the nominees of the Federal Office
holders. Many of the Senate Assembly
nominations will be made too late to al
low thorough scrutiny of the character
of the nominees and if in this way bad
men are fastened upon the Republican
party their defeat will be due to the con.
duct of these 80, called reorganizerS.
The Latest Horror.
The case of Rosensweigh with sicken-
ing details of whose murderous practices
the telegraph is laden has aroused feel.
ing of indignation. The number of sbor-
tionists in the city of both sexes is known
to be large, one newspaper having bust
ness advertisements of no less than twelve
of these practitioners. The city press
are demanding q general clearing out of
these establishments by the police. 1t
is believed that the indignation of the
public will result in securing some action
in this direction by the properly consti-
tuted authorities. Rosensweigh told
Times reporter some timo ago that he
would attend to ordinary cases for 5000,
and he had facilities for furnishing mar
rage and burial certificates the same as
Madame Restell and the others had. This
much he said in the belief that the re-
porter came in good faith to solicit his
services, but when he learned he was
only a newspaper man in quest of useful
knowledge he raved and went on so like
a maniac that the reporter was in fear of
his life.
Oae important fact possibly new to
the majority of the public is brought
distinctly out by the interview, namely:
that Rosensweig and many others like
him have means for withdrawing s0iled
regulations committed to their care, as
well as a sort of legal blind for commit
ting the remains of their butchered vic
Tins TO the grave without the interven-
ton of cororner's jury, or proper cSti-
fcate of death from natural causes.
The body of boy, bearing unmistakable
marks of violence, was washed on shore
at Elysian Fields this morning, supposed
to be the body of the boy Frank Watson,
wh) was sent to the Hanover bank last
week to draw thousand dollars in gold
and has not sincesbeen seen.
CharIestOnians Guaranteed.
The steamship Manhattan from Charles
ton arrived at this port early last evening
and was ordered to the lower bay by the
quarantine officers. The passengers,
some s. in number, will not be permitted
to come up TO the city until Friday or
Saturday. There is great vigilance exer-
cised by the official quarantine to guard
against the introduction of Contagion into
the city. The streets of the city, how
ever, are in dreadful condition to breed
pestilence, and the public is constantly
urging upon the authorities speedy meas
ures for cleaning filthy localities.
Brooklyn and Jersey City are about in
like condition. The city physician of
Jersey City says that city would become
a plague spot if ever visited by cholera.

Chief Justice Chase Almost En-.
tireIy Restored to Health.
A dispatch from Waukesha, Wiscon.
sin, Aug. 26, says:
'fChief Justice Chase has been here for
the last four weeks. He came to drink
the waters of the Bethesda Mineral
Springs. The result has been really as
tOnishing. When he arrived here four
weeks ago he weighed one hundred and
forty six pounds. He was weighed al
hour since, and his weight is now one
hundred and fifty six pounds. His face
looks as it used to look, and his step is
perfectly firm. He goes up stairs two
steps at time, as he used to do, and it
is in real sense that say he is a well
man. The waters of the Bethesda Min
eral Springs do certainly work astonish-
ing results in diseases of the liver and
kidneys, as have myself seen in other
cases than that of the Chief Justice since
l came here, and have no doubt thai
they will soon become famous"
