New-York tribune., 1872-06-18

Mayor Hall testified, last night, before the
Contract Commissioners, that the clause
authorizing the laying of several miles OF
"Stow foundation" wooden pavement was
fraudulently added to resolution OF the
Common Council after he had signed 1t, and
that he shonld never have put his name to
the resolution if it had contained the clause
in onestion when it was presented to
him for his signature. This disclosure merely
proves, what most people have long suspected,
that when Common Councilmen and wooden
pavement contractors combine to plunder the
taxpayer under the thin guise of public i'm
provement, they are fully capable of resortlng
to the most shameless forgery in order 10 ac-
complish their purpose. of course, the con-
tracts that were to have been secured by this
fraud are blasted forever by its exposure, and
cannot by any chance escape the emphatic
condemnation of the Commissioners who are
called to pass upon them. oa.o-T

Grand Jury which found true bills against the
members OF the Levy Court and several collectors
OF this county, tor endeavorng to disiranchise u
large number of citizens were all Republicans.
1t strikes that this complaint is OF very little
consequence-the question mt issue being one OF
guilty or not guilty of the offence charged. Re
pubicans as well as Democrats can determine
whether the parties are guilty, according to the
evidence, in the manner and form charged in the
indictment. De|npore Rtpubican.
There Is the above recommer dation, by in
inference, to continue new, wicked and danger
GUS course of policy. 1t has been the custom for
many years tor the Marshal to appoint the
jurles Of the United States District Couits gem
tlemen Of high character from both political par
ties, and departure from the course is not done
for nothing. There Is certainly some reason for it
But this point we will not now discuss. We do
deny, however, the Republicans position that it
Is OF Every little consequence whether the Grand
Jury Is all OF one political party not, on any
OCCASION The present case especially where gen.
tlemen are indicted Tor alleged political Of
fence of which they not guilty
Had the Levy Court been Republicans and the
Jury and the Marshal and Court been of the Dem
ocratic party the Republican, would think and
speak very differently. A Grand Jury is bound
to protect the citizen and the State from trouble
and costs OF trial And the intInation that it is
OF little consequence whether men are sent 10
trial or not OF the most falacous ideas that
could enter the mead ofone occupying So responsible
position. And yet this idea prevails to a large
extent. We have encountered 1t lust where it
never should exist.
But the complaint does not stop with the objec-
ton to the Grand Jury. The whole OF the Petit
jury Is OF the Republican party, and we MAINTAIN
that such jury Is incompetent to do tull Justice
in the case.
The learned counsel at the Bar are so fully con-
WINGED OF this that We have witnessed efforts on
their part IN the U. S. Court 10 challenge and get
every party man of Of the jury before proceeding
with trials.
We tell the R,pubhcan now that it is believed
all over this State, that that Jury was summoned
to lndiet and convict And We are glad to be
able to say that the District Attorney has himself
30 tar acknowledged the unfairness Of a trial |
where the jury was composed OF gentlemen from |
one party as to say he did not intend to try these
cases with this jury, and that he would not try
them unless it was before jury selected IRON
men OF both political parties.
