THa Boss Thief Tells Who We're in The Rings

New YORK, Sept. 6.-The Aldermanic
committee on the investigation of the
ring fraud met to day. William M. Tweel
was present with his counsel, and gave
the history of the various Offices he held
under the city. He testified to ring that
was formed in the Board of Supervisors
for passing excessive bills in 1860. The
ring consisted of Roach Briggs, and him.
SELF In 1868 Harry Smith was added to
it, in 1865 John Fox, and in 1866 James
Hayes. In 1869 Isaac J. Oliver and An.
drew ]. BlakeIy were added, but the last
two did not know all that was going on,
but they got their rake. In 1870 the
Board of Supervisors was abolished The
Tweed Ring had nothing to do with the
Supervisors ring. Tue former was under
Hoffman's administration as Mayor, and
was composed of witness, John I. Hof-
man, Comptroller Brennan, and Street
Commissioner Cornell. They met only
for social and political purposes. Some
of these men went out of Office, and this
Ring then became composed of A. Oakley
Hall, Comptroller Connolly, Street Com
missioner Mclean, and himself. Adjourn
I'd to Wednesday next.

RECOGNIZING the independence Of Ia
Dor, says the Springfield Republican :
"Capital is no divinely inspired oracle
which can pretend to guide the interests
and the investment of labor. The la
borer is not only worthy Of his hire, but
be must be recognized as the sole and
competent party at his end Of the bar
gain to determine the amount of his hire,
and take care Of it when earned"

ALVIN ADAMS, the founder of Adams
Express, died a few days ago in Boston.
In 1S4O he began the express business
between New York and Boston, employ

press Office in New York. For time he
and boy, with wheelbarrow, distribu-
ted the packages. Ere long horse and
wagon were necessary, and soon Mr.,
Hoey, boy with Dinsmore, opened an
Office in Philadelphia. These and other
head men ofthe company have long been
recognized as millionaires. The COM

The telegraph has doled out the cleo

that Republican papers have not yet been

San Francisco is first class fraud, and

years. There seems no doubt that the
Democrats will have the Legislature by
forty or fifty majority on joint ballot, in
dicatinga popular majority of some 15-
900. Hayes carried the State last

Republican Testimony to the Fact.

"A deprecated paper money cheats
and robs every man who receives 1t OF a
portion of the reward of his labor and
production. John Sherman's Speech
"This is another common idea, but is it
true1 Four bushels of oats can be
bought, say for 81 in paper or 95 cents
in gold. Eight yards of muslin are
worth in paper 81 or 95 cents in gold
Now what is the difference whether a
sells his oats for 81 greenback and
buys his four yards of muslin or if he
sells them for the gold and buys his
four yards of muslin for FIVE cents
less ? If a workingman gets 50 per day
in paper money and is able to buy fly
pounds of -four with it, wherein is he
cheated and robbed, any more than
he would be were he to receive SI.9o in
gold for his days work and expend 1t IN
the same way? Mr. Sherman adduces
no argument to substantiate his asser'
ton, but proceeds to reason from TINS
premise as if it were unquestioned. y
Toledo Journal, Repl
The major portion Of Secretary Sher-
mans speech is made in the same STYLE
He makes an assertion and then pro-
ceeds to argue from it, as if the assertion
was an unquestoned fact that when the
Resumption act passed, laborers were
receiving double their present wages,
and the money they received was worth
only five per cent. less. In view OF this,
Secretary Sherman's assertion is most
unfortunate.

THE Hayes Republicans should remem-
Der Horace Greeley. Mr.. Greeley labor
ed to have his party abandon carpet-bag
tyranny over the South, and treat those
conquered States with humanity, and on
terms of Constitutional equality and fra
ternity. 1t was with this view his great
heart went to The aid ofJeferson Davis,
and that he became one OF Davis's secur-
ity when the latter was set at liberty.
And it was for this he was kicked out of
his party and prosecuted unto death.

In the United States Senate, on the

JUDGE WEST HAS LIED.
Republican Testimony to the Fact.
[Chicago Inter Ocean, Rep.l

lNhlSubb AA'N' NN~@'-l ~'~F'i
Judge West in his recent speech de-
clared that it was idle to talk about in~
creasing the volume of Treasury notes
or making them the exclusive money of
the country. as the Supreme Court had
positively expressed the opinion that
they were exclusively a war measure,
and could not be held legal except when
issued under those circumstances. Now
the truth is that the Supreme Court did
not so decide. What it did decide was
that the emergency authorizing their is
sue ought to be a grave one, and natur-
ally the war was referred to particularly,
because it was under such circumstan-
ces that the greenbacks were organized
but that the Supreme Court ever decided
that war and war alone could justify the
issue of legal tender notes is purely i'm
aginary.
