LIE RRIIION C1NE

Great efforts have beer made lay the des-
perate Ring il Brooklyn to convey to the
Governor the false impression that the inyes-
tigation into Distrct-A.tOrney BrittOn's mis-
conduct was sbe result Of personal anim0sity
on the part of Judge S. ID. Morris against
him, and sbat the whole prosecution was
nothing more than mere personal squabble
for Office. We have received several stupid
letters urging the same view. There is not the
slightest truth in the suggestion. The prose-
cution emanates from committee of citizens
of the first responsibility, all Of whom are
pledged not to accept or hold Office, and Mr.
Morris was regularly retained as their lawyer
months after the charges were determined on.
That there are personal differences between
Britton and Morris we do not doubt, nor do
we care. Circumstances warrant such animos.

Morris, then District Attorney, indicted
about 20 of the ballOt-bOx suffers, and Mr..
BrittOn defended them. In 1871, when it be-
came necessary to elect District Attorney in
the interests of the Ring, the ballot box suffers
secured the nomination of their counsel, and
by gross frauds elected him. Morris again in
dicted twenty-four of the scOundrels during
the brief time left him. Mr. Britton as Dis
trict- Attorney elect could not publicly defend
them in court, but he took very good care not
to prosecute them when he came into power.
Naturally enough there arose between the man
who prosecuted the rogues and the officer who
defended and protected them an luminosity

We are quite well aware that the prylng,
curious disposition which has taken of late TO
making very odd and unexpected inquiries
into what are called the contingent expenses
of the two Houses of Congress and the sew

statesman of the period TO be mean, low, and

the nose of the intellectual persons engaged
in craftsmanship at Washington, whenever
mention has been made of the need of econ

their profound contempt for that kind of dis.

must be confessed, too, that they are auite
right in their view of the subject The states
men whom we send to Congress from all

of contingent funds. Such things are
