Look at the Contrast.

The exposition of the Tammany Ring n New
York City will certainly result to the benefit Of
the over-burdened taxpayers. After the Times
challenged contradiction of its statements, the
first sent a Democrat and then a Republican to
purchase the good will Of the paper. The tempt
ing bait of check for one million dollars was
offered to and refused by the Times prop,ietors.
A libel suit was then threatened, to which the
Times invited them o pitch in. AS the Ring is
now squarely in the prisoners box, II will be
interesting to look at the contrast between Dem
ocratic rule in New York and Republican rule
at Washington. The following tables will ex-
plain:

Citizens Meeting.
The Getting then dissolved.

At the conclusion of the special viii
lage meeting, at the Nickwackett engine
house last evening, in accordance with
the suggestions of prominent citizens, a
meeting was organized to consider the sub
ject of promoting manufactures in Rut-
land. On motion of John Strong, G. Il.
Joyce was chosen chairman. On taking
the chair, Mr.. Joyce briefly expressed his
sense of the Importance of the subject of
manufactures to the interests of Rutland.
The present condition of the town demand
that some steps should be taken to stimu-
late enterprise in this direction. 1t
had been suggested that a committee be
appointed to investigate the subject, and
ascertain what branch of manufactures
would be the most feasible to undertake.
He favored this plan, as business men
would not subscribe money in aid of any
enterprise until it was known what would
be- done with il.
John Strong followed in some remarks
sustaining the views of Mr.. Joyce. He
stated that the manufacture of marble
mantels had been suggested as an
enterprise peculiarly adapted to
Rutland and expressed his con-
fidence that it could be successfully
prosecuted. In conclusion, he moved the
appointment of a committee, composed of
one from each ward, to investigate the
subject, and report at meeting to be held
two weeks hence. An amendment was
proposed to this motion, that the commit
tee be composed of seven citizens selected
without regard to the wards. This amend
ment Was accepted, and the motion passed.
The following gentlemen were then sever
ally chosen to compose the committee :
Lafayette Young, w. Y. w. Ripley, E. A.
Morse, Thomas Ross, L. G. Kingsley, J.
Strong, A. F. Dsvis. J. w, Cramton was
first nominated and chosen on the Com.
mittee but declined to serve on account
of pressure of business. He expressed
his interest in the subject, however, and
offered any pecuniary aid in his power
Mr.. Young also requested to be excused
from serving as he is soon to leave town,
but the meeting declined to release
him, as his business experience is consid-
cred indispensable.
The meeting was marked with much
harmony sand promptness of action, and
there is encouraging promise that some
practical results may flow from it. Ger.
tain it is, from the character of the COM

The Murderer RulOff.

NEW YORK, MAY, II.
A special dispatch from Elmira, last
evening, says that the approaching fate
of the murderer Ruloff has set the public
there into frenzy of excitement. Scarce
ly anything else is heard of in converse
ton, and the fact that but twelve persons
will be by law permitted to witness the
execution, cause good deal of unworthy
emulation for place in the narrow court
yard of the small Jail, where the gallows
is being erected. The morbid infection
has even extended to the female eek.
Ruloff's attorney served notice on the
District Attorney last Friday, informing
him that an argument would be made
this week before the Governor for a COM
mutation of Ruloff's sentence, solely on
the ground of opposition to capital pun.
ishment, and the Attorney said he would
be provided with petitions, numerously
signed by influential men in New York
and elsewhere, setting forth good reasons
why the sentence should be committed.
the Attorney General. Mr.. Becker came
to New York city on Saturday to prepare
his papers, and petitions were cent to the
Governor by mail. In q conversation on
the subject of the Communication Of his
sentence on Friday, Rulof said there was
no hope for him. Even if the Governor
should commute his sentence, he did not
believe he could get out of Binghamton
alive, as every hand was arrsyed against
him since his arrest, and he could not es-
cape violence from the people. Last
evening the following dispatch was re-
ceived:
NEW YORK, May 16, 2 p. m.
To George Becker, Binghamton
have examined the papers which Apgaz
brought down, and decided not to inter.
fere in Ruloff's case either BY respite OF
Communication.
