TIE IERN OE Tile VNEEL.

Very few New Workers would have believed,
two DAYS ago, that there was a possibility OF
fresh surprises in the history of the great Ring
frauds. 1t was taken for granted that we al
ready knew the principal details of the con-
spiracy, and had discovered all the principal
conspirators, getting some into Jail and driving
the rest into exile. Nothing apparently re-
manned except to finish a settlement with
Tweed Sweeny, and Woodward, and wind up
the whole affair by some sort of compromise
which might restore to the municipal treasury
perhaps 1.-THE of the stolen money, and set
the old Tammany chieftaiDs at liberty, to live
as well as they could on the fragments of their
wrecked fortunes. Even when the disappear
ance of ex-MayOr Hall conceded so strangely
with the return of Peter b. Sweeny, very few
suspected that fresh revelations were at hand
1t was not until the publication of The TRIB-
UNE's budget of disclosures yesterday that the
city awoke to q realization that the full story
of the Ring has not heretofore been told, and
that the extent of the plot is even now not
understood.
Richly as Tweed deserved punishment, most
of us have probably felt that there was a
poetical injustice in the severity OF the fate
that overlook him while so many of his accom-
plices managed to keep out of prison and re-
tain their plumber Many, to be sure, led a
miserable existence as fugitives in "a foreign
land, one or two purchased their liberty by
tnrnihg States evidence, and two are dead
But Tweed is the only one of the whole gang
upon whom the hand of the law rested in all
its severity. He has served his term in the
penitentiary, and has still been unable TO get
out of durance. He has been tracked across
the ocean, and dragged back to Jail after a
painful fight. lie has been plucked by law
yers and harassed by an accumulation Of
suits and judgments; and he has been COM
PEELED to face twenty-eight simultaneous in
dictments at a time when he could not
raise the money for a counsel fee. Yet Tweed
was not really so much worse than the rest of
the cOnspIat0rs. He is commonly spoken of
IS the chief of the Ring but perhaps if we
knew the whole we should conclude that the
chief, who drew the lions share of the booty
and bore the costly responsibilities of such a
position was not so well paid after all as some
of the quieter brigands who pOcketed their
modest ten and twenty per cent, and kept it
all for their own use.
II will be a startling change in the aspect of
the case if this old rascal shall at last come
out of Ludlow Street Jail and join his partner
Sweeny and his instrument Woodward in sup
plying evidence against those members OF the
Ring who have thus far managed to preserve
decent sort of reputation. Turn and turn
about is far play. There are said to be
fifty or sixty persons, who have gone un-
suspected, jinglng the stolen money in their
pockets and denouncing the wickedness of the
thieves who were found out. 1t is high time
they were brought to the bar. What justice

whose character and knowledge we have the
fullest confidence.
With respect to the plan for reducing the
department to bureau. managed by single
officer, Mr.. Dimock makes point which GER
tainly deserves consideration. As general
rule, when executive functions are intrusted
to one responsible head, the purity and
efficiency of the administration are equally IN
creased. Legislative functions, on the other
hand cannot safely be performed except by a
deliberative body whose proceedings are public.
Whether the management of the docks Is more
property legislative or executive in its char
acter NAV be an open question. The duties OF
the Commissioners are by no means confined
to construction and repairs. They have to
give and withhold privileges, grant leases, dis
tinguish between encrOachments and improve
ments, and in general to make all the regula-
tions for enabling the commerce OF the city to
benefit by the docks. These duties call for
the exercise of broad discretion, and in con-
nection with them the grossest venality was
practiced under the old system and would
probably be practiced again if single sub
ordinate were intrlIsted with such extensive
powers. This at least is Mr.. Dimock's view OF
the case. His argument invites reply, if there
is any to be made.

ported In Punishment or behind the bars they
have already done public service as trlghtiui
examples if they will now consent TO serve
fine public as witnesses we think the pr0secu-
tion can afford to treat them with little
leniency.
II must have made Tweed doubt the reality
of any such virtue as justice wien he surveyed
his own melancholy estate IN jail and then
looked abroad. The case of eX-MayOr Hal
perhaps cxasperated linn more than all the
others. Hall was one of the members OF the
Board of Audit by which most OF the theits
were committed. His signature was on every
fraudulent warrant. TO suppose that he alone
was innocent while robbery was going on all
around him, and that in the division OF the
plumber obtained by his act he was the
only one of the party who got no share, was
doing great deal of violence to common
sense. We are now told that Hall was not
the most confding of the gang, but the most
shrewd. He trusted to no tell-tale checks and
deposit-tickets. He demanded his money IN
bills, got it always in advance, and spent IL
promptly like gentleman. Yet Tweed, half
smothered in judgments and attachments, ana
feeling the relentless hand Of David Dudley
Field always scraping the bottom OF his
pocket, saw Mr.. Hall not only acquitted by
a Jury but regainng far place in society,"
and finally posing on the stage in the char
acter of an injured innocent, who suffers Tor
the sins of others and triumphs at last over
the cruelty of circumstances. 1t Is lweeuS
turn now to speak, and Mr.. Hall Is probably
wise to get out of the way.

THE DOCKS.

What Commissioner Dimock has to say about
the Dock Department deserves attention. Mr..
Dimock is one Of our best business men and
most capable and most honorable public officers.
He has a practical knowledge not only of the
routine affairs of his department bat of the
wants OF the shipping interest. He is not a
politician nor an oflce-seeker; he probably has
nothing to ask from the City or the Legisla-
ture for himself; but if he consents to serve
the public in place for which he is specially
qualified, the public may be thankful for the
service. At any rate he speaks as an expert in

1t never rains but ii pours. passion for disap-
pearing appears to have become epidemic in this
city, and we stand in wondering waiting to see who
next may abscond. A Prussian person, named rather
longtudinaly Gustavus j. Adoph Schnitz, and re-
siding in the Bowery, left home last Monday week,
with considerablesum Of money in his possession,
and since then has not been seen nor heard OF. A
Mons. De la Pierre, lately lodging at the Van Dyke
Hotel in the Bowery. is also missing and has been
so since last Wednesday. He too had large sum
Of money in his possession, and left considerable
property behind him. We suppose that hardly
day goes by in this city without its missing man OF
woman. When the vanishing person is well known,
there is great deal about the mystery in the news
papers otherwise there is little talk and no general
wonder.

there are none more remarkable than the story
of the loss of the new steamboat RockaWay--
said to be the largest excursion boat ever

by the reflection that if she was liable to
break to pieces in bad weather. 1T was much

Mr. Staney's letter seven columns long, IN yester-
davis Herald, is written with more care than his
former communications, yet it contains much less OF
exploration than Of speculation. He deyotes the
greater part Of his space to description OF section
Of the Iukuga River about eight miles in length, IN
order to prove that Capt. Cameron was incorrect in
designating it as the outlet of the Tanganyika Lake.
This il is destined to become Mr. Stanley believes,
but at present the lake has outlet. lie explored
the Lukuga to a point three miles beyond that

current gradually ceased, and that the river-bcd

two miles further, he again reached stream, the
waters of which flowed distinctly westward, pass
ing by an abrupt gorge through mountain
range. 200 feet high. 1t is called the Lund and

Stanley asserts that the level of Tanganyika Lake is
rising so rapidly that in few years the waters OF
the Lukuga and the Luindi viii unite, the intervca-
ing marsh disappear and permanent outlet thus

of the lake is rising, it must have found an outlet

suggesting that the lake-about the size of Lake

There is a decided lull in the Anglo-Rus-
sian negotiations. Distrust has taken the
place of confidence, and the Protocol seems
likely TO prove absolutely valueless. Gen.
Ignatieff evidently despairs of bringing
England to terms, and is engaged in the more
profitable task of imparting definite aims to
that mysterious triple alliance. Meanwhile
angry passions have broken loose in Turkey,
and the barbarous acts in Bulgaria are being
repeated among the defenseless peasantry OF
Herzegovina. Count Andrassy is disposed to
act as mediator but in view of these renewed
horrors there can be little prospect Of peace
