THE CdLIPOPNT1 ELECTION.

The complications in California politics this
year are such that even had there been no
delay in counting the votes and making the
returns it would still have been difficult
task to unravel and classify them so as to be
able to state definitely the result The cleo
ton has been for members of the Legislature,
upon whom will deyOlve the choice of sue
cessOr to Senator Eugene Casserly. In addi-
ton to this general election there have been
local municipal elections in San Francisco
and other large towns, in which the
tickets have been very much split up
between Democrats and Republicans and
Railroad and anti Railroad Independents.
The result as regards the Legislature seems
to be very decided preponderance of the
anti Railroad party. which is called "Inde-
pendent "People's Party" and "Anti-
Monopoly" indifferently, the indlscriminate
use of all these names tending still more to
confuse the figures and make the result doubt
full. OF this Independent" preponderance
the Democrats claim a small gain over last
year, but not enough. we presume, to change
the political complexion of that body, which
will be apparently anti-Railroad Republican.
Whether this will insure the election of
Gov. Booth to the United States Senate
to succeed Mr.. Casserly is quite an
open question. Gov. Booths very manly
and Outspoken opposition to the railroad mo-
nopoly has secured him the virulent hostility
of leading Republicans, who, through the
newspapers and on the stump, have denounced
him as having abandoned the party. 1t is
possible that the bitterness of this feeling will
|. n L. La., A. pIu
who, in an open letter of Aug. 20, published
and circulated as campaign docu-
ment, came out equally decided against
the monopoly, can hardly expect re-
election from Republican Legislature,
and Mr. Secretary Gorham who is Railroad
man out and out, seems to stand no chance
whatever. Mr.. Gorham, it will perhaps be re-
membered, was defeated few years ago as
Republican candidate for Governor because OF
his connection with the Central Pacific Rail-
road, for which he was retained lobbyist. If,
as appearances now indicate, neither anti-Rail-
road Republicans nor anti Railroad Democrats
have majority in the Legislature, it may
happen that Booth, Casserly, and Gorham will
all drop out of tho fight and new man be
taken up.
Tho struggle in the Central Pacific mo-
nopoly has been closely fought, and the rail-
road people have carried it on with little re-
gard to parties, using either or both as occasion
offered. 1t may be said, on the other hand,
that the opponents of monopoly have been
equally earnest, and for the time at least
have shown a willingness to forget party affili-
atoms and work together for the common
veal. They have certainly deserved success,
whether they have attained it or not.

TIE BRIDGE COMPANY.

Mayor Havemeyer and Commissioner
Wheeler are perfectly right and do great
public service in delaying to pay over the
ninth installment of the city's subscription to
the East River Bridge. We hope they will
persist in declining until the present Company
has been investigated and the truth made
known as to what has become of the million
dollars unaccounted for in the structure Of the
piers.
For the information and guidance of the
Mayor and Commissioners. and as their justif-
cation for the further delay asked, let us re-
view the history of this enterprise. 1t can be
outlined in paragraph. 1t was devised by
William c. Kingsley, who had grown rich in
plundering Brooklyn through the Water Board
and the contracts its cOmplaisant members
sold him. He associated with himself at the
very start Connolly, Hugh Smith, Peter B.
Sweeny, and William NJ Tweed, giving them
Jointly 100 shares, for which they never paid
one cent, which Kingsley has always held and
voted, thereby controlling the Board of
Directors, and for which he never paid a
penny until lately forced to do so by ex-
posure of his designs. He first attempted to
pay for their stock and his own, which would
have given him absolute control forever of
the work, by inducing the Board which he
elected, and which was composed of Sprague
and McCue, and just such men as have lately
been manipulating the finances and the courts
and the banks of Brooklyn, to vote him per-
centage for his services, which would have
aggregated three-quarters of million dollars.
He had actually received $4,000 of this
amount when he was detected and compelled
to disgorge $4,000 of it, and abandon all
claim to any further payments. TO avoid de-
lection he had the books of the Company
emasculated by men who are still in the
employ of the Company in positions of trust.
Fooled in this attempt, he next directed his
Board of Directors to grant him contract to
lay all the stone in the towers above high
water at $42 square yard, when he had been
doing the same work by day labor at less
than $50 square yard. This man still
runs the concern, the Board of Directors are
still his men, and the useful officers of the past
are ready still TO falsify his books at com
mand.
This Bridge Company is the most ambitious
swndle ever attempted in Brooklyn; az a
gentleman yesterday expressed 1T in our col

THE RING CONCERNS FAILING.

Gradually the painful truth is coming out
that the little clique of swindlers who ran the
Trust Company and City Treasury of Brook
Ign, and robbed both, left disaster in their
reckless career. They were jointly engaged
in desperate enterprises that rum overlook as
natural consequence of the restrictions
placed upon the Treasury from which their
capital was stolen.
1t is amazing, when we contemplate it, what
stupidity these men, naturally sagaciOus in
stealing, displayed in investing. 1t seems as
though it were one of the dispensations that
money easily obtained is readily spent; and,
happily, that which is fraudulently gotten en-
tails some day suffering and shame. 1t will
be seen by the news we publish this morn
ing of the collapse of another Ring
concern, that these men stole good
money from the bank and treasury only
to throw it away in an enterprise which never
had chance to live, and which was ruinous
from the start. The consequence is the loss
of two hundred thousand dollars of stolen
money and forty or fifty mechanics left with
out work, each being creditor Of the bank
rupt concern for months wages. The little
vitality which the Company possessed is shown
in the fact that within fortnight after Failure
of the Ring bank the Ring Sewing Machine
Company could not pay even its few hands.
In this Company Mills ROdman, Sprague, and
McCue invested their-well, they invested
somebody's money, and it has gone hOpelessly.
Judge McCue denies, in a roundabout way and
by proxy, that he had anything to do with
the Company, but he is certainly so published.
We do not wish by comments IN this place
to add aught to the excitement which the
facts given elsewhere in regard to the Trust
Company will create. AT the same time the
depost0rs in that bank ought not to be
deceived into trusting their funds there any
longer The Company has made no showing
of its assets 1t makes no other effort
now to sustain its credit than by
citing the certificate of an expert
who has simply balanced its books, and who
is not called upon to examine its securities.
Past misrepresentation, past acknowledgement,
present ignorance, present cOncealment, make
the Trust Company the last place IN which
poor people ought to be misled into depositing
their funds. We advise all such to keep
away, and those who are already depositors,
to stand from under"

SPRAGUES SUCCESSOR.

The resignation of G. A. Sprague as City
Treasurer Of Brooklyn was compelled yester-
day, without conditions. We have reason TO
think that this reluctant abandonment Of the
office by McCue and the men who have con-
trolled and used Sprague was forced from
them by the public sentiment which has been
freely expressed IN THE TRIBUNE and other
journals which we are glad to see now TAX
ing up in earnest the work of exposure
of this corruption which we began a month
and half ago in making public the thefts
of Mills and his confederates in the Trust
Company. McCue, Kingsley g. Co. arc
so demoralized and broken that they are IN
able even to control the two newspapers which
have heretofore served them through thick and
thin, and which now, seeing the drift OF
opinion and the certain success OF Reform.
denounce them in unmeasured terms. The
arrest of Rodman and the resignation OF
Sprague were forced upon the Ring, and these
victories are only the preliminary combats
which precede the great conflict to come.
Mayor Powell has called a meeting Of the
Aldermen to confirm Sprague's successor.
Who this successor is to be we do not yea
certainly know we do not care so far as the
individual is concerned, but we can tell the
Mayor what sort of o man he must not
appoint if he would himself command the
confidence of his constituents.
He must not, above all, select a professional
politician. Both local parties in Brooklyn arc
hopelessly broken; popular indignation has
overwhelmed them; and any mere representa-
tive of either faction cannot represent tho
people or command their confidence. lie must
not be merely ga respectable gentleman"
Mills in finance Kingsley in public business.
Fowler in public Office, Murphy in the Legrs-
lature, and McCue on the bench have about
satisfied Brooklyn taxpayers with "respecta-
"bilityn as a recommendation for positions OF
trust. He must not be in the remotest
degree connected with the Ring men or with
present public officials.
And now, briefly, what be should be. We
have no desire to name any person for thus
Office; we have no wish to attach long list
of necessary qualities, such as ability and hon
esty and energy, and the like. But this quail
fication is imperative he must be man who
has been fully identified with the Reform
movement from its commencement three years
ago, and who is still faithful, OutspOken, and
uncompromising with rOguery. The nomina-
ton of such man is necessary, l, TO restore
public confidence in the administration of the
City Government; 2, to secure and make
public the proofs of the villany OF all Rod
mans and Mils;s fellow-rogues. " Ill Mayor
Powell forget his plain duty in this matter.

umns. in that scheme Tweed and Connolly
taught the Brooklyn Ring how to steal on
big scale. Its affairs need full investigation.
The contracts for granite and limestone, we
are assured. conceal frauds which ought to be
EXPOSED, and certainly they ought to be OK
amined. A million of dollars has disappeared
in the two towers, and we believe that an
investigation will disclose where it went to.
Under these circumstances, it seems to us
that the New-YOrk officials have no right to
send good money after bad. Whatever is
paid in now will go toward helping the Ring
ont of its present difficulties. The subscrip-
lions of five million dollars will soon be ex-
hausted, one quarter of it stolen by the Ring.
Brooklyn will never subscribe another dollar
while Kingsley's Directory remains in charge
and the accounts of the Company are unin-
vestieated. No additional subscription has
ever been expected from New-York by the
most sanguine. Under these existing circum-
stances, we hope the Mayor and the Board
which meets specially on Monday will refuse
positively to pay any further sums into the
rapacious nav of the Brooklyn Ring-for In

pend upon it, our credit, sooner or later, will
suffer severely. Our opinion is that the
country has had enough of the Syndicate. 1t
wonld be cheaper, and we think more
profitable in the end, to sell the five
per cent bonds once month in quantities, say
of ten millions at time, just as the Treasury
now sells its surplus gold. The bonds would
bring what they are worth, and the Syndicate
certainly pay no more. To violate the law by
paying bounty of two per cent to the pur-
chaser does not add dime to the true value
of the bonds. If the Syndicate had to pay
more than the true value they wouldn't buy
them. That's all there is of it,

We have one other point to make and we
have done with this subject for to-day. The
Syndicates subscription of March 1 is supposed,
by the fiction which Secretary Boutwell, in
vented to justify his violation Of "a law which
still stands unchanged on the statute books,
to be cash subscription. [See his Annual Re-
port made to Congress in December, 1871
That is, cash is supposed to have been paid
into the United States Treasury on the 1st of
March, and then to have been deposited by
the Secretary of the Treasury in one or more
of the national banks and bonds of the United
States left with the Secretary as security
therefor. Wnen Jne DOHuS Cdlcu LOT Ieuemp-
ton matured which in the present case was on
the 1st of June, the Secretary of the Treasury
was supposed to draw this gold, already pro-
vided, 'out of the national banks and pay off the
holders of the bonds presented for redemption.
Were this the actual fact, and considerable
pains were taken by the parties interested to
persuade the public at the time that it really
was true story it would have been impossi-
BILE for the Syndicate to have settled their
accounts with the Government in bonds
which were entered in the Debt statement of
Aug. two months after their settlement
should have been made-as still drdging in

In his examination before one Of those
precious investigating committees of the last

to which he did not reply. That question
