were reasons for suspccting; (5) that moro po.
tent means led to tho direct contradiction OF
himself by one witness, he swearing, atter
being seen, to the opposite OF the most
damaging testimony he had already gwen
under oath before the Commissioner (6) unas
the frauds nevertheless established in the Few

phys blanket contracts were thon forwaraeu

enough of it, and quit.
We do not propose to quit. This shoddy
contractor, swollen with robberies from
cur soldiers, and backed by all the power OF
an Administration that has honestly trusted
him. has had his clutch on the throat
of the Republican party in Ncw-York long
enough. We invite calm attention to the
mass of afidavits which wo elsewhere
give and for the authenticity of Which
we vouch,-orginals or certified copies OF
every one being now in our possession; and
most of tho names being those OF well-known
business men who arc at hand to correct any

pose,-though it would be a comfort if he would
write what he has to say himself, and not forco
us to deal with Decoy Bliss. jr, and Deputy
Terwilliger. And then we shall ask all fair
minded Republicans to consider what weight
is to be attached to this mans charges against
the Regular Republican organization, and what
party authority should be conferred upon him
and the results of his bolt.
And now, ex- x-Marshal Murray, word with
you. We know you have admitted your con-
nection with Mr. Murphy In getting witnesses
in this matter out of tie way, if net in the ma
nipulation of others. Were you engaged by MIR.
Murphy to perform these services, and what
was the consideration Did you pay expenses
and husl-mODey, or were you simply acting
as disinterested friendi We know your
familiarity with this whole case, and
your open expressions concerning 1t; ana
therefore we are as ready to admit your testi-
mopy as we have been to admit that of Mr.
Murphy's partner, MIR. Richard B. Connolly,
against his associates of the Ring. The hour
is yours, Marshal Murray! Come to the front
New-York tribune., 1871-09-22

Tho damning evidence against the Ring ac-
cumulates daily. Here is more light suddenly
thrown on Its infamous transactions. The list

uso, represented an expenditure of nearly two
millions of dollars to Ingersoll, Keyser, Hall,
J1obusg and others. nearly half million ap-
posfins a. sAe account of MIR. G. L. Schuyler.
We publish this morning a letter from this
gentleman which shows how the Ring "dOc-
tored" the accounts against the City. Mr..
SSAuyIer declares himself ready to prove that
siss tstal amount received by him in two
yssm, ~snA a half has not exceeded
9taklA A. All the rest of the immense
suM named, obtained on altered OF
forged vouchers, went into the pockets OF
the Esssls Of the Ring We cite. also, other
instences In which the same bold swindlc was
perpetrated, care being taken, however, to
make the dealers parties 10 the Transaction by
inducing them to increase their bills. Were
