ThE CITY RING.

1t has not been long since the GAZETTE could
not venture 10 inform its readers of the extrava-
gance and waste that the City Hing was incurrng
without being subject to the cha:gc OF making
erroneous assertions by the Conime,eiai Etc,y
Erening and Republican. Each set up perfect
howl of Indignation, and the .fdrertiser would oc-
caslonally come in with paragraph lauditory of
the Radical papers and dsparaging and disrcspect
tul to the GAZETTE. A change has como over
these papers recently. The Council Ring saw
proper 10 get up new organ, which they could
control more completely by lr nishiug it with
the city printing, and now the Comn'crcidi and
Erery Erening can see RS plainly as other people
that the Pig is not doing exactly ms it should.
The Republican and Chronicle will find it hard
work TO defend the Ring, and earn all the "jobs"
they crn get for the dirty work they perform.
e II is he-dly necessary for us 10 state who con-
stitute the Ring srllcc il to say that it is formed
of the heads of the COMMITTEES. 1t is now "boss-
ing" the negroes, and, as we stated before, is
managing that vote in this city so that the state
nominations should be made TO suit their aim by
it. 1t is said the negroes have cast seven hundred
votes in this city y few OF thc negroes are not
satisfied with this arrangement; nor docs it alto
gcther please pure Doctor John Cameron, the
Secretary OF the Radical Executive Committee
and hence We find the following expose in Ercty
Erening, of Saturday:
ave warned them the negroes, that these
men Ithe City Ring would use them to accomp-
lish their own selfish ends without particle Of
regard to the real interest of the colored people,
and every intelligent coored man in tins city
knows that our warning has already bG IN iusti-
tnH hn ,l,Ala alE
ton has shown tins. Jl the Seventh Ward, at
the dictation of the Ring, Dan. Hamilton led tho
whole colored vote to throw out Nj. VI. Child. who
had done rs much as any man in the whole school
hoard, except, possibly, Mr.. lliles, to have the
Howard school made a public school. In the
Sixth Ward the colored voters absolutely
led up 10y the Ring masters to vote for Henry
Eckol, while in the Fiilh Ward the same iuhuen-
ces were brought to bear to secure the solid col
ored vote for Messrs Bird and Curry nominating
The latter over whom? Why, ElwCod Garret, u
son of the man whom they carried through the
streets OF this city few years ago, calling him
their 'Moscs," and a son who shared h's father 5
sentiments OF coed will toward them and his ha-
tired OF slavery. And then the men the colored
voters thus elected turned and struck William
Hilles down.
But the indirect fleet Of this yielding OF color
cd men OF themselves rs clay into the hands of
the Ring 10 be shaped to suit itself, is lnju
nous to them than The d''cct effect. 1t is this
Carolina, with which this Chl s,ian minister,
Stewart, sympathlzcs, possible and it is tins that
enables the enemies OF the eolored man TO point
to the frightiul legalized robbery in that State
the legitimate result OF negro suffrage. 1t ena.
bles the same people to point to their abJect sub
mission to the most dishonest class of white pol
iticians, to prove that they essentially seville
IN their nature and unit for citizcr ship"
Notwithstanding Erey. Erenng here admits
that the negro vote is managed and used by de-
signing men as mere clay in the hands OF pot
ter, it advocates negro suf age, and il there We're
as many negroes in Delaware as in South Caroli-
ma. would see the Diamond State sunk as deep in
ruin as is now the Palmetto, by the snme Radical
agency, The evil hat negro suffrage has wrought
is horrbe--it has proved the second scourge and
is equal almost, il not woise than its iorcrunncr,
the war-from which ii sprung full grown and
armed with terrors moro fearful even than Mil
tons child OF Sin.
