ing pouItices on Blackwelrs Island. Britton's
overthrow was merely question OF time. and
the desperate expcdients to which he lately re-
sorted did not postpone it for single hour.
Some peculiarities about the Brooklyn Ring,
whose last fragment is thus put out of sight,
deserye very thoughtful consideration. Here
in New-York the Tweed party sustained itself
almost entirely by the purchased suffrages OF
the lowest class of the population. Its officers
were The ruilianly gentlemen with dyed mus
taches, and light OvercOats, and patent leather
boots, who smoked cigars and drank cham
pagne and brandy in snowy bar-roonis and
the parlors of the Americus Club, laughed at
the vulgar stories OF Barnard in his cOnviyial
haunts, and drove fast horses on Harlem Lane.
Its rank and file were the dirty and ignorant
patrons of the cheap whisky shops. There
never was q day, even at the summit OF DIS
power, when Tweed could have been received
in any reputable drawing room, or the richest
members of the Ring could hope for social
recognition The distinction of class on
this side of the ferry was always sharply
defined. The municipal thieves stood apart
from the rest of the community. But in
Brooklyn the case has been different. Citizens
men of elegant department and enviable con-
nections have been, if not the active allies, at
least the social companions of persons who
ought long ago to have been in the Peniten-
tiary, and who now stand fair chance OF
going there; and the influence OF these
hackers, extending far and wide into all parts
of the community, has been the most formid-
able difficulty for the reformers to overcome
We shall not undertake to account just now
for the striking difference between New-York
and Brooklyn, although the explanation
doubtless could easily be found. But now
that the way is open for o better and a purer
governments, the citizens of Brooklyn Will do
well to inquire how the Ring got its power,
and how it contrived to retain it 80 long after
tho character of its operations was at least
partially understood

TIE LOUISIANA PROBLEM.

In his very able and exhaustive speech in
the Senate upon the Louisiana case, Senator
Carpenter succeeded in setting forth IN their
proper colors the conspicuous features OF the
great fraud which, between corrupt Federal
officials and weak Administration, has been
perpetrated and continued in that State. No
one can read Mr.. Carpenters summing up of
the testimony before the Committee, his clear
analysis of the evidence and his unanswerable
presentation Of facts whose force can
not be gainsayed or refuted, without
becoming thoroughly satisfied that the
present Government of that State is from the
beginning fraud and usurpation 1t is hardly

RRITTOE.

When the attempt of District Attorney Brit
ton TO imprison an attach6 Of The TRIBUNE
on fraudulent and fictitious commitment
paper was exposed and brought to naught,
Mr.. Britton remarked in court that the case
"was not going to amount to anything" we
warned him at the time that he was wOfully
mistaken Already long list of serious
charges had been pending against him for
many months, and this new offense could not
fail to hasten his trial and add to the inevita-
BILE catastrophe of his fall 1t would be a
mistake, however, to attribute the removal of
Mr. BrittOn to any one action of his crowded
career. This man whom the Governor has
Just turned out of Office in disgrace was a
component part of system which has for
long time been dropping to pieces. The govern
ment OF Brooklyn was built UP of frauds piled
upon frauds, dovetailed and bound together
in such q way that the displacement of one
meant the ruin of all the rest. We know how
the exposure of Tweed in New York brought
the whole ediice of Tammany gathering
TO the ground. 1t was not always evident how
one movement connected itself with another;
but within few months the Boss was de-
posed, Connolly was in exile, Garvey, and
Woodward, and IngersOll, and half a score of
the minor instruments of the Ring were hiding
from the police, Barnard and CardozO were
impeached McCunn was dead, and the
CRATES" disappeared from the court-rooms.
Just 80 in Brooklyn the corrupt combinations
have been rapidly following one another to
destruction. The Bridge Ring is broken. Mr..
Kingsley has refunded $5O,OOO of his exOrbi-
AIT percentages, and stands, with others who
are yet in the Board of City Works, fair
chance of indictment. The discovery by The
TRIBUSR of the defalcatiOn in the Trust Com
pany led to a rout in the public Offices and the
whole conspiracy went to pieces so fast that
we could hardly keep count OF the thleves as
they ran away or were dragged into prison
Robberies in the Tax Office, In the Water Board,
in the City Treasury, in the Charity Commits
sion, were brought to light almost stimuli
taneously, and the whole administration OF
Brooklyn affairs was upturned as il by an
earthquake.
1t has been plain from the first that the de-
| velOpment Of these interlacing frauds led
straight to the District Attorneys office. That
was the key which held the entire structure
together. The delinquent tax-gatherers and
treasurers who manipulated the stealings of
the Ring, as well as the more vulgar crowd of
repeaters, ballot-stuffers, and pot.house bulles
who did its coarser work at the polls and the
caucus, owed their immunity entirely to this
officer. While he remained untouched, discov-
cry was never followed by punishment, and
criminals under indictment were still at lib
erty to loaf around the City Hall. To leave Mr.
Britton, however. in Office. after Rodman and
Sprague and Gill had been arrested, and Ba-
deau had been exposed, aud Mills had taken
his own life, would have been an anomaly

wildly.

This year is likely to be as remarkable in
the spiritual history of the country as in the
material 1t is a well-known fact that every
great national crisis or disaster is followed by
some remarkable awakening of interest in
spiritual things. We need not resort
to any supernatural hypothesis to ex-
plain this result. As long as affairs
pursue their regular and wholesome course,
nothing is more natural than that men should
devote themselves to their temporal interests
to the neglect of things invisible. The condi-
ton Of the soul of that rich mau who had
much goods laid up for many years was not
as discouraging rs that of the one who
is still engaged in laying up the goods.
The man incumbered by wealth, we are told
by the highest authority has hard task to
enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. But he whose
whole being is absorbed in the accumulation of
riches does not even think of attempting an

As we give space elsewhere to the letter OF
a friend of Gen. Hillyer protesting in the
strongest terms the fitness of the General
for the extraordinary appointment which
has just been conferred upon him.
il is only fair to state that, like
our correspondent we too speak from
long knowledge of the subject. We have no
wish to say an unkind word of Gen. Hiliyer
some Of whose qualifications certainly
commend him to the goodwill, as his
services in the war do, at least, to the
friendly charity of the public. We only say
as a matter of public notoriety that his ap-
pointment as the successor of Judge Hogc-
boom for the duties of Appraiser at
this port is so prepOsterously unfit as
20 be grotesque. As we have before stated,
Gen. Grant has not an honest and intelligent
personal friend in this city at all acquainted
with the duties of Appraiser, or with Gen.
Hilyer, who will not promptly tell him the
same thing.

Congress has shown its hand in matter OF
retrenchment. As might be expected, the
knife is applied to the Executive Departments
rather than to the Legislative. CONSERVATION
reigns in the Treasury service, where the
practice of creating divisions for the sake
of having chief clerks has been attacked. 1t
will surprise most persons to learn that the
handling of the mails for the Treasury De-
partment costs the Government $4,000 per
annum. The abolition Of the mail and other
divisions is one of the features in the Appro-
priation bill. Other reforms are coming, and
we shall at least have an appearance of an
attennpt to ecouOmige in the national e1pendi-
tures.
