TAMMANYs FORFEITURE.
tFrom tho Evening Post of Nov. 24l

From the Evening Post OF Nov. "a.
The fourth and last of the series OF sketches Of Tam
many Hail. which publish to-day contains the origi-
nal OF incorporation the society," passed April o.
1906 and the act amendatory OF the same passed April
23 1867. These laws define clearly the objects of the
society and enable to determine very easily whether
1t has departed from It's legitimate purpose.
The preamble OF the act Of 1905 rectes that the
corporators have formed association 'for the pur-
pose of aordng relief the INDECENT and distressed
members OF the said association" and have asked to
be Incorporated 'for the purposes Aforesaid There
is mistakng this plain corporate description.
The society Is by law charitable association,
and 1t may lawfully perform such corporate
functions only as relate to the transaction OF its charit
able business The tberefore'' which follows the re-
ctal of the whereas is absolute limitation IL is
enacted that the Society Of Tammany Columbian
Order in the city of New York shall be a body cor
porae and shall have and exercise the powers common
bodies corporate including the power acquire and
hold property (Which shall not exceed in yearly value
the OF $5 000 'for the purpose of enabling them
the better 70 into effect the benevolent purpose of
anording relief to the INDECENT and distressed"
The act Of 1867 simply increases the OF prop.
erty which the society may lawfully hold to the yearly
value OF 500 COO and these are all the laws relating TO
Tammany.
Not only the historical sketches which we have pub
lshed but the familiar every day history Of the city
shows that the original purpose of the society has
been wholly neglected, and, instead OF IT, purpose
trey foreign TO the objects of the charter has been
pursued more perfect perversion could not be
ceived. II the Union Ferry Company, whose business
it is to run boats between this city and BROOKLYN.
should undertake TO build and work a railroad to San
Francisco; or If an insurance company should direct
its attention solely 10 the maintenance Of inebriae
asylum; or II the directors of bank should attempt
theatrical management-in mono Of these cases would
tho departure from legitimate purpose be wider than
is in the case ofthe charitable society Tammany which
is and for years has been nothing but secret
cation Of political managers. Tammany has forfeited
its charter If such forfeiture Is possible the
Legislature should wipe the incorporating acts from tho
statute book.
