THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.
no BREACH IN TIE PARTY
TAMMANY AND THE INNESTI-
CATION OF ACCOUNTS.

NEW YORK, September THE seven
tecnth ward German democratic commit
tee at its meeting yesterday, ratified the
action OF the German democratic general
COMMITTEE IN opposition W tho Tammany
ring. Action was taken to insure repre-
sentatiOn in the approaching state conven-
tiOn. One Of the members Of the commit
tee made speech in opposition to the
proposed abandoning of the democratic
party on the part of tle German demo.
Gratis, arguing that the remedy for the cor
rupuon OF its leaders could be found with
in the party If men were corrupt, they
ought 10 be repudlated; and If found
guilty Of the frauds with which they are
ACCUSED, they should be punished.
The committee adjourned without TAX
ing any action on this subject.
A correspondent writes from Albany.
that from the views expressed by promi-
nent democrats IN attendance at the meet
isg Of the state central committee in that
city Yesterday, il is believed there will be
no detection Of the party in the country
districts this fall. Prominent country
leaders say that the New-York City de-
mOcrscy must settle their own differences
to suit themselves; that if there is any
thing rotten in the party, the democrats
formatory measures.
The Tsmmauy accounts have been the
subject Of widespread discussion all
through the country districts, but the lead
ers think when the election comes the
party will not be affected by them.
An cx-clerk Of the comptrolless Office,
| named o Rourke, in published card, says
| that If the city accounts are submitted TO
| either Of the com niittees appointed to ex-
| anime the city treasury frauds, he will de-
| monstrate that all that has been charged
| is true.
! II was recently announced BY Mr.. o Cor
man, corporation counsel, that the board
created by an act passed April 26, 1870
| was empowered 10 settle all old claims
| against the city. This board of which the
members are Tweed Hall and Connolly,
| is said to be the principle source of cor
| ruption and it Is believed TO now have
| before il claims of the character Of the
| Garyy and Jones claims, to tine extent Of
several millions Of dollars. There is no
other power Of adjudication of the old
| claims as the board Of aldermen and SUI
| pervisors are authorized 10 pass only the
| claims made since the passage of the
above law. There Is said 20 be feeling
| of consternatl1n among the Tammany
leaders over the unexpected proceeding
against the ring. The legal measures
which had been deferred yesterday on ac-
count Of the illness Of Judge Barnard
will be begun to-day, provided there is a
session court. There is much speculation
as to whether Tammany will not be able
to secure delay in tho commencement OF
the proceedings, or if commenced, de.
lay in the hearing Of the case, so as to de-
| ltsta 20 lnfr Il
course.
Some of the officials about the city hall
think judge Barnard will not grant an in
junction against the city authorities in
view Of his well known Tammany pro
clivities; and it is asserted that the delay
Of one day already is due to his aiding the
ring
! The Tribune thinks there Is no reason
to apprehend any delay in the proceed
ings. 1t says an attempt on the part o
the rogues 10 delay the proceedings will
only assist in strengthening and confirm
ing the public feeling against them and
the Tammuny officers VII do well, in
their own interests, 10 not aggravate their
present condemnation by an attempt tc
prevent by chicancry or violence legal
inquisition into their recent wasteful and
corrupt administration.
