Mayor Wickham and His Opportu-
nffy.

The fact that Mayor Wickham contem-
plates retiring from the Mayors Office
and, resting as he does under the ostracism
of the last municipal election, he cannot re-
tire at too early day-should stimulate him
to do something to vindicate the confidence
of his friends who chose him to the honor
able position of Mayor. He should rise
above the temptations and alliances of
political schemes and remember that he was
thrown overheard by Tammany Hall in the
crisis of the last campaign. He has taken
occasion to say hundred times that this
treatment was harsh and unjust to the last
degree. Now, let him go a step further.
Let him say that he will use his patronage,
not for Tammany Hall, not for John Kelly
nor any other John, nor for political leaders
or bosom friends, but for the people.
Let him begin this new departure
by nominating some such man ms John t.
Agnew to be Commissioner of Public Works,
in place of Fitz John Porter. A nomination
of this kind--like the action of President
Grant in calling Bristow and Pierrepont to
his Cabinet at n time when everybody sup
posed the administration was going to the
devil-will do more to restore public conf
dence in the Mayor and to enable him TO re-
tire with honor at the spring election than
anything else he can do.

day. and there was q run on one or two

time to stop all unsound banks for savings.

The Brooklyn Ring.

The fact that the Attorney General has
concluded to prosecute the leading members
of the Brooklyn city government is of deep
interest from two points of view. In the
first place, it shows that Governor Tilden is
bent upon reforming this end of the State
as well as the canal regions; and in the
second place, if these officers of the Brooklyn
Ring are innocent of the crimes charged
against them, the sooner that fact is proved
the better for themselves and the public
morality. We do not express any opinion
as to their guilt or their innocence, except to
say that we trust that they will be
speedily tried and, if innocent, released
from the odium that has fallen upon
them. Public opinion has become disgusted
with the reiteration of these charges against
tho rulers of great cities like New York and
Brooklyn. Now, If these men are not guilty,
then it is due to the public that they should
be promptly and thoroughly acquitted. If
they are guilty they should be punished
with a severity which we need not attempt
to exaggerate We trust that the trials of
the Brooklyn Ring will be more successful
in attaining the ends of justice than the trials
of the New York Tammany Hall leaders.
The result Of the trials in this city is to
demonstrate that the law is almost helpless
for the purpose of protecting the people
against the peculations of men in authority.
We trust that different state of affairs will
be found in Brooklyn. If the members of
the Ring are guilty let them be punished
and the Ring smashed. If innocent they
cannot be in too much Of hurry to demon
strate that fact before the court and jury.

IT Is SAID that Sunset Cox is claiming to
have ten, or fifteen, or twenty, or we don't
know how many votes as candidate for
Speaker. Sunset Cox should not throw
himself away upon contingent of this
kind-personal friends who vote for him as
they would drink glass of wine with him,
in courtesy and friendly feeling He should
take his contingent, if he really has any,
over to the banner Of Randall, Of Pennsyl-
vania who represents the backbone of the
democratic party. If he does not we are
afraid that Sunset Cox will find the sunset
Of his political life really at hand He can
not afford to throw his canvass away on
champagne cocktail votes, which are the
most plentiful about Washington before an
election like this, but which never amount
to anything when the votes are really
counted Above all, Mr.. Cox must not, from
apathy or supineness, or even from any
direct action Of his own, contribute to any
action that will tend to nationalize the influ-
ence of Tammany, or aid in the election of
any Tammany candidate for Speaker. Such
q course will make him more odious in our
New York politics than If he had voted for

Yesterday, at l o'clock, the Central High
School on Burgundy street was the center of
a vast throng of ladies and gentlemen moving
thither to enjoy the exercises there to be
given by the young ladies of the Lower High

room was one compact mass of human beings
there being not an interstce left into which
another could crowd.
At the opening the following corps of teach
ers took their positions:
Miss j. Simmons, principal; Misses J. Ken

Maggie A. McNillep, Mary f. Murray.
After a most delightful chorus by the
school, nj SIS Emily Roth, with purity OF
enunciation and ease of manaer, read the
salutatory, after which followed well rem
dered dialogue.

STATE-HOUSE FURNITURE.
A Raid.

For some time past Ed Flood, ESQ, Chief
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representa-
tives, with Deputy johnson, has been tracing
up furniture in public offices, the property of
the House, and on Tuesday they made the
rounds and made seizures of all the furniture
they found belonging to the House.
In the Armory, back of the Third Precinct
Station, three chairs were found. In the
Assessors office, on Carondelet street, hand
some desk was captured.
At VIM. Epps's, clockmaker on Royal street,
couple of squares below the State House,
the old clock OF the House was claimed and
taken. Three chairs were taken from the
office of the Register of Births and Deaths,
one desk from the Office of B. Bloomfield 4
Co.. and one desk from the Office of the Har-
bormaster.
At none of the places visited was exception
made to the delivery of the property.
The furniture captured is only small part
of the amount missing belonging to the
House, and it is more than probable that
there will be another round and more cap
lures.

A Republican Squeals a Little.
A Movement for Their Convention to Meet

Perhaps the only beneficial result to come
from an over indulgence of whisky is that to
the outside public when the inebriate peaches

happened last night, when one of the leading
Radicals had been INDUCING little to much,
and had subsidized on a doorstep to get rest
and at the same time TO place himself in
better position to talk to his hiccoughing
companion. The following was overheard :
"(Hic) 1 say-did yer see that paper Pack
ard got about publican National Convention

otis mighty big thing, that is, on the third

He made vain attempt to light his cigar,
but the match wouldn't hit the cigar, nor
would the cigar hit the match. So the happy

HINGE MENTz CALLED ON TO RESIGN.

FRANKLIN, L., Dec. GA few moments
previous to the adjournment OF the parish
court here this evening, paper containing
the following was presented to d. =. Mentz,
Parish Judge: "The undersigned members OF
the bar of the parish OF ST. Mary, acting
under a sense of duty which we owe to our
selves as members of your court and as
the representatives of those who are interested
in q pure administration of law, both civil
and criminal, feel the necessity of calling
upon you in this formal manner to resign
YOUR office of Parish Judge of the parish OF
st. Mary.
"To us your incompetency is manifest
The interested motives which in most caseE
Influence your decisions are palpable, and In
all cases which come before you the wide de-
parture from all that shonld give dignity and
weight to and confidence in the rulings OF 8
court of Justice is beyond all question. In
the interest, therefore, of our profession and
of a pure administration OF law, and the
good order and peace of this community, We
request you to tender your resignation OF the
office which you hold"
Fred. Gates, d. Gallery, M. J. Foster, A. G.
Allen, G. B. Shepherd, A. O. Dumartrail for
self and for B. f. Winchester, and 5 Lanaux.
TO which the Judge replied: II have tried
to perform my duty faithfully and impartiallys
and inasmuch as the signers of this paper DID
not vote for me at the last election, shall
continue to administer the functions OF my
Office until my constituents (neaning the
negroes) call upon me to resign.
Thus the matter stands. 1t is the intention
of the members of the bar to appeal to the
next Legislature, in order to secure his i'm.
parchment by that body.

D'Isabel, will act as Regent during his alb
sence.
It is reliably stated that the Secretary OF the
Treasury has not even read the opinion OF the
Supreme Court favorable to the Union Pacific
Railroad, and the report that he has ordered
the sum adjudged due paid to that company,
is premature.
The President has gone to New YORK TO at

sephine, near Rousseau. street, and long be-
fore the time appointed for the meeting to

nine hundred voters present. Some four
hundred members had to leave the pace, the
hall not being sufficient in size.

Parish Committee for the purpose of select
ing commissioners and clerks of election.
A discussion arose as to whether the Presi-
dent was to select said commissioners and
clerks.
Mr.. B. Mcdonald stated that it was impos.
sble for the CLUB to go into an election, as
IT sidents of other wards were present, and
that they had no right to vote.

A STRANGE PROCEEDING.
L LATEER's LITTLE GAME.

In tie case of the State VS.. Geo. Drury,
charged with forging a public record (the
appropriation bill Of 1919, Chas. W. Lowell,
attorney for defendant, appeared in the
Superior Criminal Court On Wednesday morn
ing and filed motion to quash the indict-
ment against said Drury, on the ground that
the Frank Grand Jury who presented the in
dictment against him WAS not legal
Grand Jury, and acted without author
ity Of law IN the matter, they having
been selected while Gee. H Braughn, Esq :,
attorney at law, was acting as judge of the
said court without any authority.
The fact of the care is, that said George
D-ury was indicted by The Tarleton Grand
Jury, April 5, 1875, the legality of which
Grand Jury has never been questioned
Upon hearing the motion offered by Mr..
Lowell, the Court ordered the indictment to
be quashed, but afterwards being informed
that the statement in the motion filed
by Lowell that Drury was indicted by
the Frank Grand Jury was not true, ordered
the Judgment Of the Court to be reversed and
4 the motion filed. This leaves the indictment
! still standing
| The public would doubtless like to hear
Mr.. Lowells explanation of his action in the
/ case
| In connection with the above Mr.. Drury
yesterday stated to our reporter that he had
labored under the impression that he had
been indicted by the Grand Jury declared
illegal by the Supreme Court, (the Frank
Grand Jury,) and that he had under this i'm
preston informed Col Lowell that such was
the case. and asked him to make the motor
to quash the Indictment.
Col Lowell will to-day appear before the
court and make an explanation of what ap
pears to be- on his part, premeditated mis-
representation of facts.
