THE New York Tribune charges that when
JOHN KELLEY, two years ago, was endeayoring
to cut down the city expenditures and stop
the pundering, the custom house faction re-
fused to support him. KELLEY was then
making an honest effort to give the city o
decent and economical government JOHN
MoRRlssEY was brought forward as the repre-
sentative Of the plug-ugly oommunstio Gle
ment Of the city. Under such circumstances
all taxpayers were interested In supporting
KELLEY; yet, true to their depravcd instincts,
the custom house faction, including ARTHUR
and his gang" threw their influence for
MoRRIssEY, and thus defeated the best pros
poets for good government which that city has
had for years. Yet ARTHUR now claims to be q
reformed man.

direct and specific charges, which, II found
true, we shall chcerfully publish. Justices of
the peace and constables, whose dealings arc
usually with the poorer classes, have It in their
power, IL they are so Inclined to commit many
unjust aud oppressive acts, and the knowledge
that they can occasionally do so with impunity
sometimes emboldens them to fagraut viola
tions Of law. We are perfectly willing to ex.
pose the extortions of this class of officials, but
can only do so after we become satisfied that
the charges preferred are strictly accurate.

The general tenor Of to-dsy's news Is that
