Everybody will think Of the well-worn figure
of the rats leaving sinking ship. when the
news of the resignation Of two more Tam
many officials is made public. Judge Hilton,
Vice-P President and Treasurer of the Park
Commissioners, and Isaac Bell, Commits
sioner of Public Instruction, have left the de-
caying establishment. Tuesday, Nov. z, 1871,
was dark day for these officials, and, with
dependency and dismay, they have antici-
pated only by few weeks the final breaking
up of all things about them. There is no need
of any more conclusive omen of the desruc-
ton of Tammany than the resignation OF
these men. 1t should be added however, that
Judge Hilton has of late evinced no fondness
for the Office he held, and it has been per-
fectly well understood for. months that he
would gladly have exchanged it for active
duty in connection with the Viaduct Railroad,
which he then hoped to push with yigor to a
speedy success. ........

The good people of brooklyn are evidently
very much in earnest in their determination
to get at the bottom of the frauds which have
been committed upon their city. Not only
have thefts been perpetrated by aid and con-
nivance of d. men IN authority, but
the will of p. the people has been
thwarted at the ballot-box iby the basest
copspiracies. Twp spirited meetings, to con-
slider these two branches, Of the wrong put

From an occasional correspondent of THE
TRIBUNE we print an account of the late dis
graceful butchery of Cinnamon at Los Angeles,
California. The details of this tragedy are re-
voting. 1t is sad to think that creatures
walking erect and bearing the semblance of
human beings, Gbeling their species, should
have been permitted to exist and to do to a
cruel death these inOfensive Cinnamon. 1t is
shown that there were guilty ones in the little
settlement, but the brutal gang of rioters
ruthlessly extirpated all on whom they could
lay hands, and slew them with barbarities
more horrible than those of savages. Let us
hear no more of the Ten-Tsin massacre while
men remember the Staying of the pagans by

| The legal electors of our City generally
voted on .Tuesday last. Among them were
many who had noe- before voted within the
last ten years-not even when tia Republic
tottered and staggered under the heavy blows
of gigantic Rebellion. We estimate that
one-fourth Of the votes cast THU year we're
those of men who refused OF neglected to
vote last year. . &c. 80. o.. no. ...' bH
| This was not positive novelty. At our
Charter Election Of 1884, the vote was cast as
! fully as this year. SO 1t was OF the Ptesi-
Dental Election of 1874, and perhaps at that
| Of 1850. As q rule. however, only about half
of our expensively educated, well-to-do citi-
zens vote at any but Presidential Election.
Are they likely to do better hereafterf
If they learn that their money has just been
stolen by Millions, perhaps they may, just as
they will evince decided and general activity
whenever the City is in flames. 1t is not
much credit to Chicagoan that he rose early
| the morning after that terrible Sunday night
of the 9th ult.
zone swallow does not make Summer"
Voting once in ten years will not insure hon
eat, and frugal rule. Should the busy, pros
porous thousands who just now made some
effort to purify their high places fall back
into needless apathy, those places will soon
again reek with robbery, no matter though
their occupants be called Republicans or even
Reformers.
We cannot have good government for moth
ing. The republican is the best form of
government for several reasons: primarily.
because it incites to scrutiny and necessitates
publicity. A republic in which the ADLER,
81 IN. - -. hal Pm
ally abstain from voting. leaving the elections
to be managed and decided by those who make
gainful trade of politics, would be the
very worst of Oligarchies. Government by
"repeaters" il every way more costly and less
benefcent than government by the bayonet.
At our late Election, there were far fewer
fraudulent votes cast, and less cheating by
miscOunt, than usual, simply because the le-
gal voters in large numbers stood by the polls
all day and watched the count through the night.
There were still frauds; but they were confined
TO from twenty to forty OF the 800 Election
Districts wherein Ignorance, vice and brutality,
bear despotic sway. Outside of these, the vote
was pure and the count fair. Yet just across
the East River, in Brooklyn, they had high
old election of the bad old kind. At least five
thousand was added to the Democratic vote
of that city by frauds though these were al
most exclusively confined to q few districts.
In a majority. both the vote and the count
appear to have been as nearly fair as they
ever are.
Our conclusion is that it is not yet proved
that the great body Of the more intelligent
voters have resolved to give systematic
and proper heed to the choice and the dOings
of their rulers. And, unless they do that, and
keep doing it, their achievement Of last Tues
day will not avail them.

ERIE,S NEW JUDGE.

Since Judge Barrard's reformation, prompted
by his eagerness to be Governor of the State,
the Erie Ring has been compelled to find q
convenient Judge in Some other Court, and q
worthy substitute for Barnard has been found
in certain Judge Pratt of Brooklyn. He has
made number Of Suspicious rulings for the
benefit of New-York murderers with money to
defend them and New York Rings, but his
latest, in the interest of Jay Gould and Fisk,
IT,, and against their fair prosecutrix, Miss
Mansfield, is altogether the most remarkable on
record even in the Courts which Erie has
owned.
On the 9th inst. Judge Pratt very properly
granted the motion of Mics Mansfeld's lawyer
to change the place of trial of his famous in
junction order TO this city, and it was to have
been brought up yesterday before Judge Brady.
Now if there is 81: .;lc Judge in New York of
whom the Erie Ring has ~holesome horror
and mind ave do not say there is--it is Judge
Brady. 1t was no sooner ascertained that the
case was to be tried by him on its merits than
the Erie lawyers again called in Pratt to save
their shameless clients from further shameful
exposure. Thereupon appealed to, Judge Pratt
granted stay of proceedings, directed against
Judge Brady, thus recalling suit already sent
out of his district. How this action is de-
Tended by the Bfooklyn Barnard we do not
know, and cannot conceive. What Judge
Brady may think of it, we have yet TO learn,
but we trust that for the dignity Of his court,
and the benefit Of the people who have suf-'
fered long enough from the Erie Ring. he win
at once vacate the order and dissolve the IN =
junction of Judge Pratt. '..'. - 80,

the proper remedy: 30: 'a.I- ,a7; ~ " 81
20 One daily paper-barely one-should be en-

and should be paid therefor at the rate OF one
cent per word for every Ten Thousand copies
of its average circulation. That 10 to cay II
Il circulate 5000 copies, 1t should receive htty'
cents for every hundred words published byi
it for account of the Cityj and In 'hke pro.
portion for any greater number. NO 9ournA
circulating less than 5000 should be conad-
cred, nor any journal got up expressly Tor inc
purpose that has not substantial cirpq-
lation among business men. Inshort, II should
be a real, not o sham, newspaper. And the
rate of compensation paid to 1t shouid %
paid to all Others. ,................a - ~

The t,osmty most widely circulated journals

lsh the Sherif's notices Of elections, to be held
Mayors Proclamations, taxes assessed apd
when payable, and other announcements OF the
widest general interest. ...
And that should be- all.
This plan would certainly reduce the an
nual cost of Advertising for City and County
together below 5000 and we think nearly
to 100000 per annum. And all requisite pub
lioity would thereby be secured quite as fully
as now is Tor recently has been) at the cost
of 81 100000 per annum.
- Such ia oar contribution to the coming
Reform. If others will make kindred sugges-
tions for those branches Of the public service
with which they are best acquainted. the
makers of our Reformed Charter will find
their labors considerably lightened.
