New-York tribune., 1872-02-02

We have always had an earnest wish 70 sec
the civil suits against Tweed, Connolly niger
soil. and the rest of the Ring rogues, carried
TO successful ISSUE satisfied that in any Court
the result cannot be doubted. Yet we DO not
object if the Attorney General shall see nj TO
conclude them on the payment 10y the defend
ants of the full amount which, as prosecutor,
he has homes of recovering to the County;
for the law, in fact, would enforce a
settlement on such basis. He would
probably be accused by indiscreet
persons, if he consented to such settle
ment. of compromising with scoundrels; but
with knowledge of having done the best for
the public. he can afford to laugh such idle
criticism to Scorn. 1t is probable, indeed, that
he will have no such opportunity to compro-
mise. The Ring people are undoubtedly anxious
to conclude bargain, but there are two
mighty obstacles in the way. They cannot
obtain assurance that they will net be prose
Cuted criminally, and they will not settle one
claim if they are to be pOunced upon for
another. On the other hand, they cannot realize
on their property, which depreciates in value
from the mere fact of their possession. We
publish elsewhere the rumOIs and particulars
about proposed and pending negotiation OF
this sort, taking care to distinguish fact from
rumor; but we have no faith in the happy
conclusion of the bargain.

The organization of the Board of Audit, yes
terday, will be welcomed as another step to-
ward complete reform of the City and County
Administration. The interest with which its
sessions are looked forward to, was indicated
by the numbers present in the room in which the
Board organized. The future sessions, at which
the unpaid claims will be examined and passed
upon-the meeting yesterday was merely prelim-
inary-will be still more eagerly watched, both
by taxpayers and interested contractors. Reso-
lutions were adopted asking for the Depart
ment estimates and list of unpaid claims al
ready published in THE TRIBUNE. and the
auditing of the claims and the apportionment
of the expenses will at once proceed. 1t has
already been intimated that many of those
claims are fraudulent on their face, and that
the estimates are extravagant. The Board
will doubtless early recognize that neither
fraud nor extravaganza will be countenanced
or permitted through negligence; and many
contractors may AZ well understand now that
if their claims are not withdrawn, they will
stand an exceent chance of being thrown
out unconsderod.

OF PERJURY, AND OF THE CUSTOMHOUSE
We suppose it clear that either Col. Geo. X.
Leet or Mr.. Allen n. Leet has committed
Perjury. We suppose it clear that either Sur
veyOr Cornell, ex-Inspector Sheehan or Clerk
Fuller swore to substantial untruth though
the Perjury does not seem 30 inevitably to
follow. And we suppose it evident that Sur
veyOr Cornell swore as near to Perjury az he
dared, in his efforts to clear the Custom house
from any assessment on salaries for political
purposes.
On each Of these cases we have something
to say. But we wish, frat, TO observe that the
exact points at issue in oil this conflict of
testimony are of little moment, and are wholly
beside tho main question. Col Leet denies
having said to Allen N. Leet that ho had
made large sums of money out of the General
Order business, and that tho so-called cxtor-
tions were no worse than under former Admin
istratOns. But he does not deny that he has
made large sums of money and, without his cyi.
dence. it is overwhelmingly established that he
has made even far larger sums than he bas
admitted. Whether, then, he tells the truth
in denying all knowledge OF his prOfessed
cousin or not is of consequence as bearing on
the question of his general credibilty. but is
of no consequence whatever in the proof of
the General Order outrage Surveyor Cornell
denies Inspector shoehan's version of an al
legged Order posted in the Custon-house, re-
quiring payment of two per cent on the
salaries, pronouncing it "in its precise
terms or in its spirit and in every
"way false and fraudulent; but he ad-
mits that the payments were made, that they
were about two per cent, that they were
mostly made on single day, and that, after
they were made, somo of tho men, on pleas
of poverty, had their money refunded! What
remains is mere question of veracity, useful
In determining what weight is TO bo given to

the real machinery employed in that transac-
tion. 1t appears that the statement that the
Syndicate paid cash for the bonds was fic-
ton. What the Syndicate did deposit as pay
ment for the bonds was the certificate of the
First National Bank of Washington, lawfui
depository, that it had deposited with itself a
certain amount of coin. The result was thnt
the Syndicate got the bonds Oh 0o-days
credit. If this is not Illegal, it is certainty a a
doubtful transaction it was constructive
in all its parts, and will more than ever preJu-
dice people against Syndcates.

Chicago being burned Of course il occurred to the
minds of mechanics throughout tho country that it
must bo rebuilt and it must. but not generally
during the Winter season. Forgetting this. persons
out of employment have rushed to Chicago in great
numbers, eagerly anticipating immediate work at
enormous wages. 1t follows now that the supply of
labor there ia greatly i'll of the demand and IL
likely to be until Spring. Even then the demand
will not be unlimited and the creator the supply the
lower will be tho wages The city has enough to do
in taking care Of its own mechanics out OF work,
without being sadded with the relief of omigrant
sufferers; aud our advice 10 evory laborer who
thinks of going 10 Chicago for work H. that he find
out beforehand whethOr or not his services will bo
in demand there.

TIE PARLS ELECTION.

The recent canvass of Nj. Vautrain and NJ.
Victor Hugo for election TO the Assembly from
Pans IS one OF the most encouraging ndica-
tons we have yet seen Of the gradual progress
OF French public opinion to normal condi-
tion. The circumstances under which the cleo
ton took place were peculiarly calculated to
influence unfavorably the minds of voters.
There were but too many arguments which
could be used against the Government
1t is impossible to justify tho slaugh-
ter which succeeded the fall of the
Commune. And after the merciless killing of
the first few days of victory was over, the
Government committed the still greater mis-
take Of arresting all who could be found on
the streets, or who had an enemy malignant
enough TO denOunce them as Communists

yesterday, seems to have cut a more credit
able figure than that renowned business man

authorities at Washington should con-
dder the weight of evidence which is

vas very confident that he had no influence
IN the White House, and got the General
Order "pum" by sheer good luck but Mr..
Bix5y testifes that he paid Col. Leet $5,G2j
for that very influence. Perhaps he thought
even that price very chc9p.
