TIE COUNCIL or NINE.

We are glad to find fixed determination
manifested on the part of the legal authorities
of California to put down with strong hand
illegal associations entered INTO for the simple
Durpose of operating in defiance of law. The
Council of Nine-the cream of the cream, ii
we may say so, of the Labor Union-dOes not
appear by any means to have confined its
operations to the Chinese. The Council, COM
posed of three captains and six lieutenants.
though specially hostile to the Chinese, did not
hesitate to deal roughly with the whites
who thwarted its plans. 1t was quite
ready TO destroy the property of its
enemies; it was equally ready to
take their lives. There was even some
discussion, we are told, of the propriety
or necessity OF assasslnating the Hon. John Bid
we'll, the Independent candidate for Governor
ut the last election, who was actually guilty
of employing Cinnamon upon his ranch near
Chico. There were schemes for blowing up
buildings in which Chinese were employed.
Altogether more diabOlical society we do
not remember to have heard of. 1t is cheering
to know that one member OF this netarl0ns
Council has made full confession, and that
several of the members of it are in jail, with
double guards about the walls and with an
armed force patrolling the town.
We are glad to find the Caucasian Society
distinctly disavowing all utilization with this
Council of Nine; and unless it can satisfy the
public that its adherence of these dastardly
deeds is sincere it had better disband at once.
The presence of the Chinese in California may
be highly distasteful to a large class, but
these foreigners are entitled to the full pro-
lection of the law, and will receive it. If the
| State cannot protect them the United States
must, for they are here in accordance with treaty
stipuatlons, and must stay here unless they
see fit to return to their native land. But
there is every reason to believe that in allaying
| these difficulties the good sense, intelligence,
and humanity of the citizens of California
will prevail over idle prejudice and race
hatred Encouraging Chinese immigration is
one thing; protecting the Chinese already here
| is another.

When the WoOdin Charter so called, comes
up in the Senate it is to be hoped that body
will make no mistake with reference to the
composition of the Board of ApportiOnment.
THE TRIBUNE has so often expressed It's con-
viction of the futllity of cbarter-mending that
nothing need be said on that point now; but
if the Senate must take its choice be-
tween the method by which Mr. Fish
PROPOSES to give the taxpayers immc-
date representation in this Board and
Mr.. Husted's method, the former ought to
improve even on the nearly three-fOu!ths vote
by which it was adopted III the Assembly. Mt.
Fish proposed to give the appointment OF the
three citizen members Of the Board to the
Mayor the natural and legitimate appointing
power; Mr. Hustled wished to give it to the
Recorder The Assembly agreed with MIR. Fish
by very f1attering majority, led, as it was.
by the best men in the Assembly. The propo-
sition to confer this power on the Recorder
was so strikingly out of the natural order of
things as to Justify the suspicion, which a
member of the Assembly frankly announced,
that the present incumbent of that Office was
committed in advance to certain appointments
which the men who were behind Mr.. Hustled
most desired. Should this power be conferred
on the Mayor, we have no doubt that Mr.. Ely
would exercise it with conscientious care. Ger
tanly the mass of our citizens have as much
confidence in him as in Mr.. Hackett, and there
can therefore be no personal reason for
wrenching the function of appointment from
it's accustomed place. The Assembly did
wisely in following the lead of Mr. Fish in
this matter, as it will do in others. He has a
clean and honorable record, and we have not
yet seen the time when, in questions like
these, it was not safe to follow where he

Wade Hampton seems to have had too many

BY this time the public has settled down 10
the mournful convection that when Rings are
broken up, it is next to impossible to save the
pieces Criminal suits do not convict and
civil suits do not recover The people must
usually be content to know that the organlza-
ton Is at an end, if most of its mem
bers do 90 scot free. The two great
Rings that SO long ruled the State
together have ceased to exist, although there
is but one Tammany thief in Jail, and all the
Canal thieves are at large. There is one thing,
however, to console the plundered public.
Whatever the prosecutions of the Tweed Ring
may have failed to accomplish, they will at least
result in a small profit to the taxpayers. On
this point at one time there seemed 10 be some
doubt. But Controller Kelly's statement to the
Legislature shows that the cost of these pros
ecutiOns has been, indeed, not quite One-thiId
of the returns. 1t has cost only $226,7ll "a
to recover $69O,849 50. The highest sum re-
ceived by any lawyer has been $57,SS1, and
the accountant has been satisfied with
$66,339. Some there may be who will grum-
BILE at these figures, but let these malcontents
remember-wel remember that lawyers and
accountants must live.

M Chambcrlain's letter to the President is
an interesting contribution to the history OF
the South Carolina controversy, but it throws
no new light upon it. 1t is chiefly remarkable
for the ingenious argument with which he
urges that the presence of troops in support
of his government does not give him any un-
due advantage over his competitor.

Being a party to the protocol, Great Britain
must fully comprehend its meaning. IL Is
accordingly safe to assume the correctness OF
the semi-Ollicial announcement that tine
"value of the protocol depends on the disDosl-
" ton of Russia herself" The Russian promise
to arm, we learn, also depends upon Turkey
making peace with Montenegro, disbandlng her
forces, and manifcsting an earnest wish to sci
about the work of Recommendations which
Russia can interpret as she sees I'LL.
The first practical effect of the protocol
will be to constran Turkey to send an
envoy to st. Petersburg to treat for disarm-
ament. This step will have great sig
niicance. 1t will do away with the fic-
ton that the Five Powers uDitedly protect Iur-
kew, and cannot interfere separately for the re-
dress of the Christian grievances. 1t will also
convince the Turks that Europe has left them
to make the best terms they can, with the
only Power which is impelled both by
interest and sympathy to uphold the Slavic
cause. 1t remains to be seen whether
this diplomatic change will have any effect on
the Turks. Until the Porte has sent its envoy
to the Russian capital, and he has made
fair progress in eilecting a compromise, the
distrust which exists at Paris and Berlin will
seem warranted.

Prince Bismarcks resignation of the Imperial
ChancellorShip may well produce intense ex-
element in Berlin. At this critical moment
in European affairs his presence in the Govern
ment must be of the greatest importance.
1t is to be hoped that nc will forego even the
leave of absence rendered him by the En-
peror when he learns the state OF public feel
ing. He cannot now leave his post without
losing, perhaps irrevocably, his hold on
power.

The report that Gov. Robinson will make no
new nomination for Superintendent of Public
Works comes again from Albany. The argu-
ment in his justification is poor enough. II
the appointment is delayed until the prepare
tons for opening the canal are completed, the
change of systems can be made easily, and
as gradually as the Superintendent chooses. The
neople of the State demanded the new system by
an almost unanimous vote, and they should not

Robinson persists in this sullen determination,

wishes to fall into either blunder.

A HELP TO DRUNKARD.MAKRRs.

Congressman Luttrell has succeeded in
getting his grape-brandy bill into a law. 1t
allows distillers of grapc-brandy TO store it
for three years in bonded warehouses before
paying the revenue tax of ninety cents on
the dollar. The effect of this will be to in
crease the production of California brandy
and discourage the raising and curing of
r%aisins, which latter industry has lately
taken quite a start. Grape brandy needs
three years to make it worth from SO to
$40 per gallon. When first made it will
sell for about 50. 90. and at this price a
good many growers have been obliged to
sell in order to pay their tax of ninety
cents. They can now store their brandy
until it Is at its prime, sell it at q good
figure and pay their taxes then. There Is
no injustice to anybody in this new law,
but in the interest of temperance l hoped it
would not pass. California has the ability
TO produce as much brandy and make as
many drunkards as France, which country
realizes SO, 900, 900 a year from the Gin
dustry, and Ipresume she will make haste
to develop her resources now.

are also contemplating similar action.
There is little doubt that Packard's warlike

Packard's trusted friends, before leaving

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The Worlds Washington special reports
that the president said last night there will
be an extra session of congress, but the
time is not determined.
H SOUTHERN VISITING COMMISSION.
1t is reported that the following gentle
men, in addition to Vice-P President Wheel
er, will be invited to constitute a commits
sion to visit the south Senator David
Davis, E. Rock~ood Hoar, Gov. Browne
of Tennessee and Kenneth Rainor Of North
Carolina.
THE CABINET ON II SOUTHERN QUESTION.
The Times Washington special says
the cabinet unanimously favors paciica-
ton, but McCrary, Sherman and Thomp-
son are not convinced that tho withdrawal
of troops from the south would be proper
at this time. A member Of the cabinet re-
marked last night that he believed the
troublesome question would be settled to-
day. If its settlement did not prove emf
nently successful it would DO the fault of
the southern people. Senator Morton has
been invite oy republicans and democrats
to visit the south for a tour OF observation.
Business engagements prevent immediate
acceptance.
II soIEMr1 OF CHAMBERLAIN AND
PACKARD.
The HeraIds Washington special says
the agents of Packard and Chamberlain
are working only to cain time, and will en-
deavor to p~recipitate violence in Louisiana
and South Carolina so as to middle affairs.
II South Carolina and Louisiana are re-
manded to self-government, little doubt
prevails that the republicans will have a
fair chance to elect the speaker of the
house. A deep u~ndercurrent of hostility
to the president prevails, with abundant
| evidence OF mutiny.
THE NAVY APPROPRIATION SWALLOWED UP.
The Herald's special rays 1t is reported
at the uavy department that notwiihstand-
ing an appropriation for the pay of officers
amounting to 81, 200, 900 was made by con-
grers half of 1t is already gone to pay con-
tractors, by whom 1t was absorbed during
the last few days of Secretary Robeson's
term. Secretary Thol 'pson has ordered
an investigation. Matters are said to be In
a very bad condition in many navy depart
ment bureaus. Most Of the navy yards are
or will be closed on account OF the small
ness Of the appropriation.
THE QUESTION.
The 7'ri6unss Washington special says
the indications are that tho administration
will move very slowly 10 its treatment Of
the southern question. No change may
take place for weeks .-Dr. lie Conte of

WOMEN, WINE AND CARDS.

When we get above ground the three
biggest bonanzas VI find are the saloons,
faro banks and houses of ill-fame. An act
wal passed by the late legislature to COM
pei the keepers of faro tables to have them
on the second floor. This will not damage
the sports much, as rents will be cheaper
up stairs than down, while those who want
to gamble will find them anyway. Hitherto
Joe has kept his game down stairs because
Jim did, and Jim because Joe did. If one
had gone up stairs the other would have
got all the custom. Now this trouble is
removed BY law. To show how moral we
are, and that prostitution is a legal bust
ness, l will copy a part Of a law of the late
Legislature. 1t provides that ''the board Of
aldermen of Virginia shall have power =
to prohibit, suppress or regulate
disorderly houses and houses of ill-fame,
and to confine the same within the follow
ing described limits; Commencing at a

RUTLAND's POOR EXPENSES.

Notwithstanding the enormous aggregate
of the orders drawn by the overseer of the
poor-$17, 1874 45-a general feeling of
relief will be experienced by the commu-
nifty that they are no larger; for with the
capacity for expending, developed by the
overseer, the possibilities were something
fearful to contemplate. This amount,
however, does not represent the entire poor
expenses for the year. The avails of the
town farm are to be added to this amount.
For several years past. the cash receinta
hundred to six hundred dollars year,
which has been expended by the overseer,
without being paid into the treasury and
drawn therefrom by orders. There is, also,
the produce of the farm consumed on the
farm. These two items, the overseer Of
the poor, in published letter in July, led
US to expect would be very large this year,
as he said that the harvest would be
"bountiful" and the future necessity for
the purchase Of hay, grain and provisions
would be "obviated." In the examination
of his orders and vouchers, by the auditors,
many vouchers were found for larger
amounts than the orders drawn thereon,
and the overseer explained the discrepancy
by saying that the accounts were paid in
part in other ways-was it by tea, sugar,
tobacco, etc., as has been suggested 2-and
the order drawn for the balance only.
There are, also, number of unpaid bills,
for which no orders have as yet beer
drawn, and the bill for the services Of the
overseer himself to be added to the aggre
gate before we know exactly, or even ap
proximately, what have been the poor
expenses for the town of Rutland for the
past year. Will we ever known And yet
without taking these items into the account
we have the poor expenses for single
year given at $17, 1874 As.
Let us glance at the former expenses o.
the town for the support of the poor, anC
for conuanianca vye tahulota thern
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-16
the town for The support OF the poor, ant
for convenience we tabulate them:

With the exception OF the amount for the
year ending February l, 1876, these figures
include the cash received from the sale of
produce on the farm. In 1859, for instance,
the whole expense of the poor, aside from
the receipts from the farm, were a few
cents less than seven hundred dollars. Con-
trast this amount-$699 73-with the same
expenses in 1s76-$17,134 45-with a
better and larger farm and "bountiful har-
vests" and is not the result something
alarming If, as the oyerseer told US in
July, the expenses for hay, grain and pro-
visions would now be "obviatcd," these ex-
penses amount to over seventeen thousand
dollars, without taking into the account the
"bountiful harvests, the hay, grain and
provisions produced on the farm, where
would the town of Rutland be with the
present overseer of the poor and the old
town farm combinedf The purchase of
the new town farm was providential in
deed, even If it did give the overseer an
opportunity to indulge in his tastes for
landscape gardening.
The orders drawn for the year-$17,-
l34 45-it will be seen, exceed the gross
amount of the expenses for the preceding
three years, are greater than any other four
years in our history combined, and exceed
the entire expenses for the ten years from
