RODMANS CONFEDERA TIE.

The confession which has been made by
Rodman, and which duplicates COrtlandt A..
Sprague, is not new information to The
TRIBUNE. Its readers will remember that
from the first we informed them that ROdman
was the catspaw of the Ring, and that an
effort was on foot TO make him also its scape-
goat In an interview held with him by
a TRIBUNE reporter over week ago, ROdman
passionately but clearly announced that it
was not his intention to submit any longer
to the persecution of the Ring; that if fur
Their pursued he should tell the full and sim
pie truth regarding the matter. AS long as
the Assistant District Attorney, Mr.. Edgar NJ
Cullen; who is at once the nephew and the
tool of Judge Alexander McCue, who is a
master spirit of the Ring, was in authority,
Rodman reserved his confession but
has now delivered it. full and explicit, to
District Attorney Britton. The first result is
seen in the arrest of Sprague, who, next to
Mills and Millss hackers, was the most cul-
pable scoundrel of them all. Mr.. Rodman is
clearly the States witness; Mr.. BrttOn will be
fully justified in accepting him as such; and
with the evidence he can give, MIR. BrittOn
will be inexcusable if he does not bring
Sprague and all his confederates to the bar of
justice, and that without delay.
BY and by it will doubtless dawn upon the
minds of the authorities Of Brooklyn that this
entire organization of the Brooklyn Trust
Company-we mean the active managers of
that association-are wholly corrupt and I'M
worthy of confidence. For five years this
fraud has been continued; not one of them
has been ignorant of it: not one of them but
has cOndoned the'crime; they are all untrust-
worthy, as has been proved by previous de-
velopments. 1t does not need the confession
of Rodman to establish clearly that they all
have been accustomed to wink at the actual
crimes of Sprague and Mills. The very action
of McCue in employing Cullen and Pratt in
throwing the Company into the hands of a
receiver who, by his relations to the bank,
would hide his frauds, shows that they re-
cOgnized the necessity of cOncealment. The
unanimity with which the Directors nOmi-
mated and elected as President man
who had previously been engaged by the
same Ring to whitewash so corrupt a concern
as Kingsley's Bridge Company. leaves no doubt
in the minds of honest men that they knew
their only hope lay in suppressing the truth.
The promptness with which they obeyed the
orders of Kingsley to arrest Rodman shows
their connection with the Ring; the singular
pertinacity with which they refused to make
a showing of the banks assets establishes
plainly that they know of its cor
ruption; their repeated denial of the
exactness of the statement which we
made of their bond and mortgage assets
still further proves this; the persistence with
which they refuse to exhibit their securities
tends also TO confirm it. The bankrupt Trust

TIE GFORGI4 MURDER.

Georgia papers of this week bring to us de-
tails of the last sensation in that sandy State,
which, luckily, is not this time either duel
or a vendetta, but worth attention, neverthe-
less. as illustrating the state of civilization OF
our brethren of the cotton regions and the
peculiar points wherein it differs from our
own. A Mr.. Alexander in Banks County kept
a school for young men. Mrs. Alexander, 1t
appears, had the habit of dropping in with
her knitting, not to teach but to OBJ
serve the behavior of the pupils and to
report thereon at night to her husband.
with her general opinions as to their character.
Now this practice was likely to prove irritating
to Young men in any latitude; what wonder
then that under Southern sun the blood of the
Youthful chvalry fairly boiled in their veins
against this petticoated special detective. The
other day a certain Mr.. Moss, aged twenty
five. was the subject of her animadversons.
He denied the charge she brought, whereupOn
the teacher promptly drew dirk and
stabbed him. Moss retaliated by fatal
stroke with dagger, whereupon Mrs.
Alexander (also armed, as It would appear)
stabbed the young man repeatedly in the
SHINE. In two or three minutes both teacher
and pupil were dead side by side. Nothing
was done to the woman but the public, as
usual, were thrown into deep CONSERVATION
"by this event in two respectable families
and metaphoricaliy formed ring begging of
the remaining members of the family not to
prosecute the deadly feud further, in very
much the same spirit with which boys at a
dog-fght dance and yell to call them off"

Southern brethren. Robbery and murder with
us are usually instigated by avarice or more
brutal passions. They reach too, sometimes,
a sublmity OF horror. ~ in the Probst aud

Der of which seeks to conceal his connection
with the Swindling, presents contemplate
spectacle to honest Brooklyn citizens.
The Brooklyn Trust Company is composed
Of few very artful scOundrels and o large
number of honest men, The scoundrels are
positive and the honest men are negative
characters. The consequence is, the honest
men follow in the trail of toe Others. The
corrupt minority rules the indifferent major
ity, When these gentlemen recover from
their amazement at the exposition OF what has
been done under their names they will
probably take some action which will re-
deem their characters and relieve them
of the responsibility, but not till then. We
wish to call attention to one phrase in Rod
mans confession, as repeated by the District
Attorney: "An the Deficiencies in money
event to Sprague, Mills, and their friends,
"and Rodman never received one dollar OF
the principal stolen" Then, who are these
friends? This is the question, and the i'm
portant question, which suggests itself to
those who read Mr.. Brtton's statement He
tells us only of John X. Pruyn, President
of the bankrupt Central Bank, in which such
large amount of public funds is still
deposited But we know, and the public will
soon know, that there are scores OF Others !;
and we know, moreover, that Mr.. Britton has
had their arrest under contemplation. When
he intends to carry out his design we do not
know; but we do not see the necessity for
further concealment of their names. Let the
facts and the names be told at once, and he
will find plenty of evidence on which to act.

brings evidence of criminality.

WalwOrth cases, unknown 10 these hotter
bloOded people. whose tailors provide bowie
knife pockets for even the boys. But we
do contend that public sentiment is with
us more clean and healthy. A North
ern teacher might murder one of his
boys, but in what school would female
spy be tolerated, or where would the dagger
be habitually substituted for ruler or birch
The better classes in both North and South,
with that genial exaggeratiOn of feeling which
is apt to succeed a quarrel, have vague con-
viction that the old differences of character
have vanished with the differences which
fought themselves out in the war; that the
Yankee peddler, by virtue of that bloody
baptism, is regenerate of all disposition to
drive hard bargain that the fre-eater hath
had all his sham notions of chivalry and
lingo of the duellO knocked out of him, and
has made common sense his motive and rule.
The truth is, we have changed neither our
skies nor our manners. Whatever purifying
effect upon our national health and honor the
war may have had, Individually it taught us
at the North to look yet more closely at each
side of quarter of dollar and drove our
quondam enemies to regard the pistol and
dirk as the nobest though not most infallible
arbiters of differences.
In word, we need to have patience with
each other. Such stories as those of the
Georgia murder show that five years of free
dom from slavery are not enough to bring
even the educated Southerner to the highest
Alps of civilization and should we be inclined
to hug ourselves too warmly in self-gratula-
ton, we need but remember that century of
freedom has not rendered Fisk's life nor
death impossible among us.

miscaculation was made as to the time of
their visit they are making up in warmth of
welcome for the GOODNESS of temperature.
Our Canadian neighbors receive their visitors

After the "warm champagney glow" of good
feeling has had its flow, we shall learn what
the advantages of the Canadian routes are,
and what they will be. Senator Norwood
seems to have stated the whole case when he

get the business if they could do it cheaper

Grand Rapids, Michigan, has suddenly &C
quIred a sad notoriety. Almost simultaneously
with the disastrous wreck of a steamer off
that port, train leaving the city, eastward,
on the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad, was
thrown off the track with fatal violence. We
are glad to say, however, that the first reports
Of the disaster were greatly exaggerated. 1t
was said that over twenty had been killed /;
the latest report is that there were only two,
and the list of casualties is not large.

Wisconsin politics, like those of other West

correspondent whose letter we publish here
with, says that the farmers are determined to
make a sharp ant-railroad fight; they will
carry their warfare into every political con-
vention. The Republicans have made their
nominations, but the Liberals and Democrats
are yet to hold their conventions. What will
be done by this joint opposition cannot yet
be safely guessed; but it is evident that the
canvass will, if nothing else, be lively.

According to the published summary of the
State Assessors report, some radical changes
have been made in the assessed valuation of
the State. The deductions amount to $45,-
42O,520, and this amount is distributed among
several counties. The largest reduction of
valuation is that of Kings County, which is
$37,OOO,OOO. The necessary increase is divided
among Duchess, Erie, Oneida, Monroe, Onon-
daga, and Westchester Counties, Oneida taking
the largest share-S7,5OO,OOO. Great COM
plant has heretofore been made by some
of the eastern counties, which have had to
bear the burden of State taxation, to the
relief of tho interior counties. 1t remains to
be shown by the detailed statement of the
schedule of valuation, which has just been
adopted, whether this ground of objection has
been removed.
