The Tammany Delegation In 1870.

[Aibany N. y. Evening Journal.
For years Mr.. Tlden was the political associate
and co-worser of Tweed and Tammany Han.
Every weil-informed man in tine state knew the
character OF that corrupt Ring long before its
final overthrow. Its rascalities in 1905 had
been proclaimed by Horace Greeley and proved
before Congressional committee. Its robbie
ries were notorious and transparent. Yet all
this while Mr. Tilden was in political eO-opera-
ton with il. In 1870, after the Young Demo
cracy had made their fight against Tweed, aud
had declared the cri.- = Of the Ring before the
whole State, Mr.. Tilden Was in active assOeia-
ton and fellowship with its leaders. The Ro-
chester Dea0crof reyives the names of the Tam
uanv delegation to the Democratic STATE Con
vention ct Rochester in 1870, ss follows:
Nicholas Muller, Magnus Gross,
Thomas Conan, Richard q. German,
.Iohn Havs, Thomas J. CreameF,
WM. VI. TWEED Samuel B. Garvin,
MICHAEL NORTON, SAMUEL J. TILDES,
Gideon J. Tucker, Michael Connolly,
Samuel 9. Cox, RICH. b. CONNOLLY
John Mgilaly. TiIOS. b. FIELDS,
Anthony Hartman, 4. 0AKEY HALL.
Oswald OttendoTfer, HENRY ". GENET.
Here Mr. Tilden appears side rs s;le with
Tweett, Dick Connolly, Tom Yields, and Harry
Genet, al! Of WHOM are now fd-itiyes II foreign
lands. Ii these delegates had been chosen by
districts, i: might have been reasoned that Mr.
Iudsn's election in one district had no cOnnec-
zion with Tseed's in another. But the deleEs-
ton was not thus chosen. was made Up a. a
whole by Tammany Hall, aad it represented the
will aud the power Of the 1ammany Ring. The
Tamnsny Ring appointinsits delegation, placed
Tilden on it with Tweed, Counouy, Fields, and
Genet.
Tie political afiliat;on is thus clearly esfab-
lished in thi2 -ld in repeated public acts. With
fuil knowledge OF us rase4iities, NJ. Tuden re-
rllned in the political association with the Ring
TIL long after Us stupenGous speeulatonS had
bear demonstrated, and Us destruction assured
And YET his friends have the eliroutery 10 claim
that he broke up the Ring.

THE A OF HEALTH.

Unreasonable as it may seem and sui
cidal as it would prove, there is on foot
q movement to abolish the Board Of
Health. A resolution or ordinance to
that effect will probably be presented to
the General Council tonight. 1t may
be disguised or sugss-cosied, but the in
tent is diabolicsl. When Memphis dis
penses with a Board of Health,
or reduces 1t TO a nominal en-
tity without power, taxpayers will
sell out if they can, and local capitalists
will convert more of their means irto
government bonds. The officers Of the
Board of Health may have enforced
stringent regulations, to the great annoy
Ance Of a few cpulent citizens; but let
the rule be enforced from the highest to
the lowest, and in the end all will &C
knowledge its beneficial results. Even
an over jealous Board is a thousand
times better than no Board at all, and a
crippled Board is no Board.

rhe charter and police Autnorisies.

The Charter and Police Authorities.
Ia view Of the assumption Of author.
ity over the Recorders Office. which the
Police Commissioners developed on Mon.
day last, it might be well to look at the
charter and see what authority is given
them by that document.
Section 40 says: THE Police Commits
sioners shall have power to appoint all
officers and subordlnates in said pslice
department, including the Chief Of Pc.
lice, aud TO suspend aud discharge the
same a. will. The Police Commissioners
are authorized to adopt rules aud regu-
lations OF general discipline, which it is
the duty OF the Chief OF Police to en-
force"
The above is the sum and substance of
the powers Of the Police Commissioners.
Section As says; AL police powers are
vested in the General C1uucil, aud shall
have power to pass all laws deemed ne
cessary for the establishment and en-
forcement Of proper police regulations, ="
etc.
Section 81 says: "All necessary civil
and criminal jurisdiction for the en-.
forcement of the laws and ordinances
passed by the General Council shalt be
and the same is hereby conferred upon
the Recorder, who shall have power to
hear and determine all causes that shall
arise under the charter and ordinances,
and who shall be ex.oficio a Justice OF
the peace etc.
1t is q puzzle to the legal as well as
the ordinary mind where the Police
Commissioners found that they had au-
thority to order the Chief of Police to
commit a gross contempt of the Record
er's Court by forcibly taking two priso-
ners out of the custody Of Constable
Garvey, wis had State warrants for their
detention and made returnable before
Recorder Duff, sitting as ex-oficio. JUS
tice of the peace. 1t would be well for
the Chief OF Police, Police Commission
ers ond all other city officials to be care
full rs to powers and duties, and not to
attempt to interfere with the powers and
duties of other officers of the city. Each
officer of the city has sufficient to do in
his own Office to keep him busy without
engaging in such interference. We can
point out a hundred things that should
be done, but which are not done by the
police authorities, and all these things
fall regularly within the scope and
power Of their sworn duties.
