Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journali upon Current Toplot Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE TAMIIANY RING AND ITS FRIENDS From Harper's WteMy. The Evening Post condeinaa the adminis tration of President Grant, and praisea that of the Ring in the city of New York. It has for some time spoken very gently of the im- ferial rule in that city, and reoently pub lished a tentative article, indirectly com mending it by stating what was claimed upon its behalf by what is called the Citizens' Association. After a little while it republished the article; and, averring that its statements had not been challenged, declared that they were therefore established! It wsuld not be easy to imagine a more sum mary and amusing method. 'As a matter of fact, the Republican journals of the city were exposing the Broadway widening job and the water bill at the very time the Post made what it calls its unoontradioted asser tions. And by what authority were they made? Upon that of the Citizens' Association. That such an association may have been at one time, and under certain circumstances, a body whose opinion would have weight upon such a subject, is very possible. But all the pub lio now know of the Citizens' Association is an occasional manifest signed by Mr. Peter Cooper and Mr. Nathaniel Sands. Mr. Cooper is one of the most venerable and respected citizens of New York, but .it is not generally supposed that he prepares the manifests. They are . understood to be substantially the work of Mr. Sands. Mr. Bands is understood to have favored the passage of the Tammany tax levy of 18G8, upon which the Republican Senate proposed to hold out; but the votes of Mr. Williams and Mr. Mattoon, in favor of the Tammany project, which Mr. Sands befriended, made Bach action useless. Mr. Sands subsequently reoeived an ap nointment in the Tax Commis sion. His opinion, therefore, upon the action of the Tammany masters of the city must obviously be received with great reser vation. And that the declarations of the Citizens Association are the opinions of Mr. Sands is probably not disputed. But if such declarations in regard to the benefits of the ring to the city of New York should, under these circumstances, pass unchallenged, it would by no means necessarily be beoause they ooufd not be successfully questioned, as thfl Kvenina Post ARsnmAS. The sew charter, of which the Post speaks Bo kindly, was the work of the ring, and designed to perpetuate its power; and such has undoubtedly been its effeot. It is cer tainly remarkable that a paper which pro fesses to respect so deeply the principle of the responsibility of power should praise, upon that ground, and with its knowledge of ' the actual situation in the city, a charter whioh makes the terms ef the chief officers appointed by the Mayor twice as long as his own. Executive responsibility to the people is aestroyea Dy me cnarcer. a no govern ment of the city of New York under the Tarn manv rinc. as we have frennentlv shown, is . an absolute empire, which will end only by . the voluntary retirement of the ring-masters or by a successful rebellion of their subjeots. The methods of their government are fami liar to every citizen. One of them is to cover themselves and their acts with respeotable name3. Thus, the last project of a city rail road selects the ring, with three or four con spicuous citizens as the commission. Every New Yorker at onoe understands "the little game" of the ring, of which, it is unnecessary to say, those gentlemen are innocent. To our readers who are not New Yorkers, and who may be supposed to be uninterested in such local questions, the reason of our al lusion to them is obvious. The power Viat new controls the city and State of New York aims at the control of the jyatwnai uovern ment. The tuthless imperialism which pre tails here it would extend through the ' country. Its methods of bribery and intimi dation it would practice upon a national arena. And tt is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the people of the United States should understand the character and contemplate the measures of the imperial cabal which would rule them. Its power an well be studied ia the tone of the Evening Post, when commenting upon the government of the city.' Its defiance of the ordinary safeguards of vested rights is illus trated by the Erie bill and the water bill, which . confers a practically unlimited and irrespomible authority upon one man. Its malign influence upon popular rights may be seen in the fact that the Governor of New York, whom the cabal nominated and elected, JaithfuVy obeys its will, and that the honor of the bench in the city is notoriously stained. This is the rule which the Evening Post praises, but whioh the best men of the Demo cratic party privately deprecate and oppose. THE MURDERER OF MR. NATHAN. From the AT. Y. Times. We have been in possession for several weeks past of some remarkable discoveries in connection with the Nathan murder, but the information was communicated to us under a pledge of confidence, and conse quently we were compelled to keep eur readers in the dark. That restriction, how ever, is sow removed, and we may state that the police have the best passible reasons for the belief that a man known as Billy Forres ter, and by half a dozen other names, really committed the fearful crime which so startled the town last summer. The description of this man will be found in another column, and we hope it will attract the attention of the police authorities all over the world. We ehall only state here that he U a man of about thirty-hve years of age, with black eyes, straight black hair cut bhort, sunken cheeks, tooth out in the left upper jaw, and a bracelet marked in India ink on hia left wrist. This last mark onght to load to his detection. The police have been on the look out far this miscreant almost ever since the murder was committed, and it was poor Superinten dent Jourdau s fixed opinion tnat he alone was the man who actually struok the fatal Llow or blows. Justice Dowling, than whom a more experienced or keen-witted criminal magistrate does not exist, seems to have come to the same conclusion, and every pre v .caution was taken to bring Forrester's guilt home to him whenever be tell tuto the hands of the police. Thus far, however, he ha eluded all the vigilance of the force. Ha seen a to have been under snrveillinca ia othtr Stttes, but the anxiety of one oftiaer or an other to Bcize the whole or the re war J f r.r thered L'b plans of escape. There are police, men, we are sorry to say, who would rather - see a criujiiiid go at large than allow anybody but ILf uuelvi'a to obtain the reward ottered for Lis ep;Ttheuhion. The story told tUe- where'will serve to show how far the reward system is tending to destroy the very object which it was designed to serve. Few things which eould happen would strike the imagination of the criminal class more than the capture and execution of the murderer of Mr. Nathan. It would be a warning to incipient assassins such aa ia greatly needed in this community, and it would strengthen the security of the publio more than the addition of a thousand men to the police force. For these reasons we can not but earnestly hope that the guilty man will yet be caught, and undergo the penalty of the law. The ruffian Foirester seems to be a curse to the earth one of those fiends in human form who regard the lives of their fellow men as of less value than the lives of vermin, and whose hands are covered with blood. If the police are right in their con- Iectures, it is the duty of every man to search iim out, and we hope to record shortly that one of those apparently slight accidents which often nnearth the oiliest criminal has re sulted in the arrest ef Forrester. NAKED AND UNASHAMED. From the N. Y. Tribune. We give below an unflinching copy of a letter which we have reoeived from that pro mising man of business, James G. Blunt, of Kansas. We have held sacred all his improve ments in orthography and grammar, merely taking the liberty of italicising some of the specimens that show the greatest vigor of in vention: "Washington, D. C, March T Editor N. T. TVi- bune. My Dear Sir: My attention has Just been called to the article In your Issue of the 4th Inst, headed 'Stealing made Easy,' and which, as a gra tuitous business advertisement, la perhaps quite un objectionable: while the carachter and )erit of the entire article Is Ubellimut, ti(anoi,and vicious In the extreem, and unworetey the journal In which It ap pears. You are also Incorrect in yonr statement of Bgares. You Bay that out of $299,000 paid to the IndlaLS' there was stolen by me U6,000 ; while the facts in the case are, that the Indians to which you refer receive payments amounting to f 349,742, oat of which they (the Indians) paid to me as per contract the sum of 148,sG'80. Please make the correction. As that transaction has been closed and Is among the things of the past, I can not now for a moment entertain the proposition to divide with you my fees In the case : but In the next case of the kind that I may have I will take your claims under advisement; and in the meantime I shall continue to proseoute business for Indians and others whenever occasion requires the New York Tribune to the contrary notwithstanding Re spectfully your obedient servant, "Jakes Q. Blunt." We do sot know where to look for a more delicious photograph of a border scoundrel than in the above inimitable letter. The ignorance and vulgarity, the clumsy truou lence, the insolent and ever-ready tu quoque, the shameless satisfaction over his stolen money, and the air of fusel oil that breathes over the whole composition, render it unique of its kind. We can add nothing to this per fect picture. We even deoline to make the correction Mr. Blunt requests. Our figures were taken from the report of the Committee on Appropriations. We have no reason to doubt them exoept Blunt's word, which is no better than his oath. And although it would seem safe to accept his statement that he has stolen more than we said, the man is evi dently so proud of being a thief that we can not believe him even when he criminate? himself. THE CHURCH OF AGGRESSION. From the N. Y. Times. It is quite evident that the Roman Catholio Church in this country is steadily and skil fully aiming at acquiring on this continent something of the power it is losing in Europe. For this purpose, it is everywhere affiliating itself with one of our great political parties, until, in all our large oities, it has gained im mense political influence. The Irish immi grant population is almost universally, by tradition and social bonds, attached to the Democratic party. This population it, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, intensely and bigotedly Roman Catholio in faith, and under the control of the priests. As a voting force this class holds the balance of power in our politics. Wherever they tend in our great cities, there will be victory. They are usually led by shrewd American demagogues, who are utterly indifferent on matters of religious belief, and who under stand the power of the religious sentiment, and of an ancient and honored faith, in this rude class. Indeed, candor must always compel Americans to confess that there is something honorable in the attachment of this Ignorant peasantry to a form of faith which has been persecuted, oppressed, and despised for so many centuries in their own land. With the Irish, undoubtedly, fealty to the Roman Catholio belief is loyalty to the faith of the oppressed as against the op pressors. To abandon it is at once treason to mannooa ana oountry. But, while respecting this sentiment, we are bound as Americans none the less to watch and expose the ambitious plans of the priests and demagogues who manage and manipulate it. Did the Catholios, like the Episcopalians or the Methodists, simply hold their faith as a matter of religious belief or feeling, no sane mortal could have a word to say against it. The only reason the subject is ever introduced in these columns, is that this Church, unlike others, is seeking and has gained a political power whioh is dan gerous to our future. Our frothy Amerioan "liberals" who dread to have the name of a religious belief ever men tioned in a publio journal, except in praise, may as well understand that the Catholic Church of the United States is guided by men as much abler and more far sighted than their sentimental associates, as Loyola was than the "Evangelicals" of his day. They aim steadily, as did the Jesuits of the Middle Ages, at the control of our sohools and charities. And to secure this, and also to strengthen their politioal power, they follow the illustrious example of the Church in all countries and ages, and seek especi ally to possess large masses of real estate. Somebody has said that "whoever has oon trol of the real estate of a country rules that country." Nothing would give the Roman Catholio Church of the United States such power over the masses 83 large possessions of land and buildings. In all civilized countries, the steady prp gress of liberty and intelligence has been marked by a constant straggle against this corrupting evil of ecclesiastical property. English legislation, from the Magna Charta, by successive acts, to the celebrated statute of mortmain of George II, has been little else than a history of incessant popular ef forts to restrain ecclesiastical corporations from holding excessive properties ia real estate, whether held under the title of another for their "use and trust, "or whether conveyed directly to them. Spain has only been able by revolution to free herself from this incubus within a few years, and Italy U every year confiscating those burdensome ecclebiastical properties whioh pay no taxes, and hang like a heavy weight on the neck of the nation. In Mexico one-third of the whole real estate of the country was held by the priests, who controlled thereby every folitical party, ana noimog but tue estab iubment of the republio enabled the authori ties to rid the people of so burdensome an incumbrance, and compel this large interest to contribute to the taxation and education of the country. In this State, it is estimated that $50,000, 000 of real estate are held by the Roman Catholio Churoh. Incessant grants are made to it by our city authorities, on long lease, at merely nominal rates. Splendid cathedrals are being built for it in various oities, and it receives, under school and charity grants, constant aid from the State. The only cheok to this acquisition of real estate, thua far, has been the very wise provision of our general act for incorporating religious and charitable associations, limiting to a reasonable sum the value of the real estate which they are per mitted to hold. This applies equally to Pro testant or Catholio churches or charities. Whenever a particular Church desires, from any cause, to possess a larger amount of real estate, it has only to propose a special aot in its behalf for this purpose, to the Legislature, and the bill readily becomes law. The Roman Catholic body have not been satisfied with this very wise provision of our laws. They now propose, through Mr. Tweed's "Bill No. 30," to take awathis restriction entirely, and give any religious corporation unlimited power to hold real estate and erect school-houses, chapels, resi dences for the clergy, and the like, thereon. Under the present law and custom they could do this, but the accumulation of real estate in the bands of any particular Church or society would then become apparent, and this is precisely what the priests do not want. If St. Patrick's Cathedral eame to control twenty millions' worth of city lots, under our present law, we should all know it. Under Mr. Tweed's bill no one could tell what wealth the Church possessed. We trust that the reasonable Protestants among the Democrats in the Legislature will oppose this new ecclesiastical encroachment, as, of course, the Republicans will do. SENATOR SUMNER AND THE REPUB LICAN PARTY. From the N. Y. World. The action of the Senatorial caucus of Re publicans on Thursday, in deoiding, by a vote of 2G to 21, to remove Mr. Sumner from the honorable position he has so long held as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela tions, is the most significant fact in our reoent politics. Those who look upon it as the mere culmination of a personal quarrel between the distinguished Massachusetts Senator and the President, underrate its importance. True, there is a personal quarrel; true, the President, by a scandalous violation of all the proprieties of his position, has intrusively in termeddled in the composition of the Senate committees, and dictated the deposition and disgrace of Mr. Sumner; true, the President has carried his point and achieved a personal triumph. But this personal triumph is the death-knell of the Republican party. The case of Senator Doolittle four years ago is by no means a parallel to this of Sena tor Sumner. Mr. Doolittle destroyed him self without weakening the Republican party. .The reason was that the quarrel in whioh he engaged was a quarrel which brought him into conflict with the fundamental ideas of the party at a time when those ideas were still in the ascendant. The Sumner quarrel, on the contrary, relates to an issue which has no connection with distinctive Republican principles, and is entirely outside the old party creed. The important fact is that the Republican party has split and divided on a question having no connection with the issues on which the party wan founded and has been kept in existence. That is to say, those issues are no longer regarded as paramount by the party which has heretofore made them its shibboleth. They are eclipsed by an extraneous question ; a question whioh has no relation to Southern reconstruc tion, negro suffrage, the new constitutional amendments, or anything on which politioal parties have, of late, been divided. If there were any vitality in the old questions, the Santo Domingo matter could not thus overtop them and throw them into the background. They are stamped as "dead issues" by the Republican party itself, when that party sub ordinates them, in the face of the whole ooun try, to the acquisition of one-half of an island in the West Indies. Nothing can be clearer than that the politics of the country have passed into a new era. If there were any remaining life in the late issues, a schism could not have arisen in the Republican party on a question having no connection with its fundamental principles. Those prin ciples have no longer any binding force to hold the party together; it divides and disin tegrates on a question for which the parly would not have cared a straw if General Grant had not chosen to make, it his pet hobby. The Republican party is no longer a party of ideas and principles, but the personal party of President Grant, held together by "the cohesive force of publio plunder.". Of all the men now in publio life, Mr. Sumner has done most to build up and consolidate the Repub lican party. And now, at the diotation of a man who never joined the party till he hoped to be its candidate for President, Mr. Sumner is insulted, humiliated, and turned out of a position for which he is better qualified by knowledge and ex perience than any other member of the Senate. Evidently, the Republican party has lost all its old vitality when a new convert and purchased adherent, like General Grant, can depose and degrade an old dyed-in-the-wool Republican, like Mr. Sumner, who was a shining light in the party when ex-Captain Grant was a drunkard in the gutter without sufficient character or intelligence to concern himself about any kind of politics. When matters come to such a pass, it is too evident that the administration is supported by a mere personal party, and that the Republican organization is a carcass from which the soul has departed. Mr. Sumner is not of a temper to wilt nnder such an insult. General Grant will find that there are "blows to take as well aa to give." The release of Mr. Sumner from the laborious duties of his respon sible chairmanship will give him leisure to attend to the President; and the President being a stupid, vulgar, selfish man, whom nobody really respects, and Mr. Sumner being gifted with uncommon powers of rhetoric and invective, General Grant is in a fair way to have hi portrait takan by an artist who will remorselessly "hold the mirror np to nature.' The eminent position and eloquence of the Senator enable him to com mand the attention of the whole oountry, and Grant has no capaoity to reply to or parry bis attacks. Before Sumner gets through roasting him, Grant will wish the Island of Santo Domingo sunk in the Caribbean Sea. The thanks of the Democratic party are due to General Grant for precipitating a disrup tion of the Republican organization. There are too many Republicans who heartily despise tbeir incompetent, pig-headed President for this quarrel to blow over. . , The crows have made their appearance ia the country. This is said to be a alga thai the cold weather U at an end. MUSICAL AIXI nil AM ATI C. Tfe CUT Amnidoiiiti, At the Acadkmt or Mcrsio last evening the German opera season came to rather inglo rious end in consequence of a strike on the part of the orchestra. The audience waited impa tiently until 9 o'clock for the performance to begin, and they were finally dismissed by Mr. Max Maretzek, who made a statement of the condition of affairs behind the curtain, and re quested thoFO who had paid their admission fee to call at the box otiice and get their money. It was a mistake to begin an opera season in the middle of Lent, when so many good Christians are too busily engaged in renouncing the world, the flesb, and the devil to take much interest in matters of high art, and the occurrence of last evening should bo a warning to other managers to study with more attention the Church calen dar. At thh Walnut there will be a matinee to-day. This evening the drama of The Connie Soogah, the comedietta of The Happy Man, and the farce of Irish, Assurance will be performed with Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams in the lead ing roles.
