RROOELYNS OPPORTUNITY

The conviction of Tweed ought to be en-
enlargement for the friends of Reform in
Brooklyn, for it indicates the irresistible power
of the people combined for the rescue of gov
eminent from bad hands. The unexpected
condemnation of the chief rObber in this city
carries with it the conviction of tho lesser
rogues and we are greatly mistaken if the
announcement of that righteous verdict has not
already struck dismay to the Ring still fortified
in Brooklyn.
Next month the trial of the District Attor-
ney of Kings County is to take place in this
city before Mr. Gilbert Spier, who has been
appointed to hear evidence i'll the most i'm
pOrtant case Of the kind ever tried in this
State. The consequences of the decision to
tho people OF BROOKLYN are not less mo-
mentOus than those which follow the con-
demnation of Tweed. Indeed they are greater.
for the government Of New-YOrk had been
wrested from Tweeds grasp before his trial ;
the fate of honest government and thorough
Reform in Brooklyn depends in larger meas
IRE than many suppose upon the findings
against Winchester Britton. Unhappily for
Reform there, Mr.. Britton stands at the very
threshold of Justice to thwart the purposes of
Reform. His first official act was to quash in
dictments against ballot-box suffers who had
aided him and his party to fraudulent success
at the polls. But for lack of zeal or worse
offense in the District-Attorney's office, cor
rlipt officials and contractors would now be
under Indictment for robberies rs fragrant. if
not as large, as any ever committed by Tweed
and his cOnfederates. Wa need not cite the
cases we aludc to; they are already familiar
to Brooklyn readers and taxpayers generally :;
and if an honest administration is secured
before these cases are outlawed by limitation
of time, they will also become notorious abroad
We have lately called attention TO the cheat
practiccd upon the people of Brooklyn by the
mock prosecution of Sprague. 1t may be
safely set down that that delinquent officer
will never be brought TO trial AZ long Us the

We have sometimes thought that there is some
thing in the ownership of real estate which makes
men hard and sharp. Perhaps it is the taxes or the
insurance premiums, or the tenants who commit
strip and waste, OF do not pay up promptly. But
when we hear of a soft-hearted landlord, we feel
that his name should he blazoned in these columns.
Only in this we do not know his name But he
lives in Chicopee, Mass, and they know it there,
When he heard of the reduction of wages in the
manufactures, he at once reduced the rent of his
tenants onehalf 1t isn't intimated that he is in

q man of gallant and chivalrous nature. Even
the Havana papers speak of his humane
treatment of his prisoners while in arms in
Cuba.
The apprehension we expressed some days
ago that by o detection from the Centers the
demand of MacMahon for the unconditional
prolongation of his powers would be granted,
has been justified by the event 1t was re-
ported yesterday that his Ministry had
resigned in body, but as there was nothing
in the vote of the day before to make such
step necessary, it was probably mere formallty
to give the new dictator the opportunity to
reappOlnt them or select another moro per-
fectly in harmony with his views.
An important session of the Iron and Steel
Association of the United States was begun
yesterday in Philadelphia. The address OF
the President presents highly favorable re-
port of the general condition of the great iron
trade of the country. The present difficulties
are considered to be temporary; they depress
all branches of productive industry. 1t Is
claimed that the iron and steel business of
the United States was never on so substantial
basis, nor those engaged in it so independent
of foreign interference. The iron men now
only ask to be let alone.
Two singular cases of popular and scientific
interest are reported in our Boston CORE
spondence One is that of a suicide caused
by mortified professional pride; and another
is the death of patient while under the IN
huence Of an anasthetic. That an enthusi-
astic young physician should kill himself
rather than face a fatal mistake in dag
nosis which he had made argues an extreme
of sensitiveness most rare. The verdict in the
case of Mrs. Crie, who died after inhaling
mixture of ether and chlorofor1n, is a warn
ing against the use of these preparations.
Although no final plan Of operations for re-
lief Of the poor was reached by the citizens
who met informally yesterday, the suggestions
brought out in debate are encouraging. The
almost inevitable result of any elaborate sys-
TEN Of relief adopted in times of great public
distress is to foster pauperism. Fire and
pestilence, dreadful as they are in themselves,
are still more feared in great cities, where
they are sure to leave in their train vast
number Of persons who must be dependent on
charity. These, from becoming temporary
wards, may lapse into an abjcct state Of pau
perism many of them are thus lost to
the productive resources of the State.
In the discussion yesterday, in which
such men as the Rev. DR.. John Hall,
Dorman b. Eaton, Commissioner Myer
Stern, and others took part. this danger was
kept in view; and the too common tendency
of the people to look to the Government for
help was also clearly set forth. 1t is appar-
ent that something must be done to relieve
the distress of the poor. who are uncommonly
numerous this season. The meeting yesterday
began a good work by appointin. q commit
tee of examination and one to report plan
of operations. Certainly there never was
time when discreet hbcrality was more
needed than now
