To-day will be tried, not alone the question

the Ring has in the interval which has elapsed since
the temporary Injunction granted, brought to bear
upon Judge Barnard all the wicked arts they know so
well to practice in order influence his decision there
can be no doubt for they well aware that on him-
and on him alOne-thcy must depend for the
short meaaure Of power which, at the worst,
still remains TO them. But that they Will
fail in this attempt the Courts action on Wednesday
last furnishes ground for belief and worthy OF note
that at the Cooper Institute meeting, on Sept T. the
speakers and particularly who had some show OF
authority for his assertion Judge PerrepOin expressed
perfect confidence in the Judciarys determination to
sustain the people It true that, the other hand,
there are many members Of the legal profession who de-
cline to place this confidence in Judge Barnard, men
who forget his in the Erie and other SUITS
which has been severely criticised. Several with

them were who not without admiration and
friendly feeling for Judge Barnardafter stating that

probable however. that their first move will be for de-

1T was urged that the only other that the Ring
could take was produce other and AS yet un-

sENTIMENT AROUND TIE CITY HALL.
In the United States building on Chambersst and in
and around the City Hall ana the New Court House the
Generalization Of the over-rcaching and recrnin
atIng managers OF the Ring" was very generally dis
cu-sed last Saturday In the United States building the
general impression that the teud between Swecny
and Tweed had reached the eliminating point.
In regard to the injunction issued against the city Off

Every in the Mayors Office look OF calm as

the result OF the argument the injunction before
Judge Barnard to-day. 1t is rumOrcd that the Mayor
has had no intmatiOn of the intention Of any OF the
heads Of departments to resign that he has expressed
the opinion that he has not the power 10 remove them,
and that he would not do so if he could.
